Chapter 7: A Chicken in Creekwood
The basement used to be a prison, but it is now deserted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Under the command of Selene, Dai Daemon and the others swept away the basement, and then walked out of the cave and came to the outside of Helgen. According to the book "How the Dragonborn Are Made", when the Dragonborn walked out of Helgen and went to the town of Creek in the east, they activated the three guardian stones on the side of the road.
Dai Dameng and the others hugged Selene and walked towards the Guardian Stone. Selene was in a good mood and rode ahead on horseback, leisurely playing the lute.
The murmuring of the water, the sharp turn of the road, and the appearance of a wide lake in front of it, is the source of Lake Irinata, the largest river in the sky, the White River. The White River is just a noisy little river here, flowing from the east side of the lake to the east.
At the lake, at the bend of the road, there is a smooth stone platform. Three smooth cyan cobblestone pillars, each more than three meters high, stand in a triangular shape on the stone platform.
Selene pointed to the three pillars and said, "There are three guardian stones ahead, which are the guardian stones of warriors, wizards, and thieves, and they will be protected by the corresponding class constellations, and when you learn the corresponding skills, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and you can easily become a great warrior, wizard, or thief." But this requires a high level of talent, and very few people can activate one of them. The book says that the Root Treasure can activate three pieces at the same time and obtain the constellation guardian of the three major professions. β
Not everyone in the Dragonborn can be a guardian stone, and this guardian stone is the litmus test for distinguishing geniuses from ordinary people. Selene turned back to Dai Dameng and the others and said, "Whether you are a dragonborn or not, you will find out when you touch the Guardian Stone." β
Dai Dameng and the others were full of confidence, and said in unison: "We are dragonborn, wait and light up the three stones for you to see." β
"Humph!" Selene pursed her lips and said confidently: "It's still hard-mouthed, if you can light up a piece, you will win." β
Dai Dameng and the others came to the Guardian Stone on the bank of the White River. At this time, there were already many people here, some were sitting on the blanket rolls on the ground, some were kneeling in front of the stones and kowtowing, some were holding the stones and touching them, and the three cyan stone pillars were touched and shiny.
"Let's go, let's come!" Dai Dameng and the others rushed up and pushed the group away.
"I'm the captain, I'll come first." The first stone is the Warrior's Stone, which depicts a samurai with a sword and shield. Dai Dameng stepped forward and touched it, and the starlight on the warrior's body lit up one after another, and then merged into a white light that shot into the sky, and finally the whole stone lit up.
Dai Dameng gave Seline a smug look, and the corners of her mouth froze.
The second stone is the Wizard's Stone, on which is carved a wizard with a staff, and Dai Dameng stepped forward, touched it, and it lit up again. Selene was stunned.
The third stone is the Thief's Stone, on which is carved a thief in a cloak, and when Dai Dameng touches it, it also shines on.
Dai Dameng's brothers screamed and gathered around, holding the boulder and touching it wildly, and the three boulders emitted dazzling pillars of light, reaching into the sky. The person who was pulled aside by them was chirping crookedly just now, and now they are all dumbfounded.
Dai Dameng and the others looked at Seline proudly.
"Impossible! This stone must be broken......" Selene doubted her eyes, and she said, "Get out of the way, let me see if the stone is broken......"
Dai Dameng and the others obediently left the Guardian Stone, and the light of the three boulders quickly dimmed, and the shining stars on the stones went out one after another, and soon the three stones lost their light and turned into oily bluestones.
Selene walked over and touched the first stone, but it didn't light up, and when she touched the second stone, it didn't light up, and Selene's face became more and more ugly.
Selene touched the third stone, it lit up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the stone is not broken......"
Then things are even more alarming. Although these people are dumbfounded, they have extraordinary talents, simple minds and well-developed limbs, and can activate the Warrior's Stone and the Thief's Stone. The only thing that made Selene puzzled was that this group of fools could actually activate the Wizard's Stone, which was a symbol of wisdom, could it be that these fools were really dragonborn? It's not that they're stupid, it's that Selene is stupid.
CΓ©line verifies again in disbelief.
"Come here!" All three stones lit up.
"You guys go over!" All three stones were destroyed.
"Come here!" β¦β¦
After many attempts, I finally figured it out.
All three Guardian Stones can be lit, but only one Guardian Stone can be lit at the same time.
None of his brothers could light any of the stones, but when the fifty-two of them touched the stones together, a miracle happened, and all three stones could be lit up and shined brightly. But if there is one less person, then only the stone touched by Dai Daemon will remain bright.
"It's kind of interesting!" Selene recovered from the blow and became happy again, "Let's go, go to Brookwood, the book says that the Dragonborn will part ways with Hadava when they go there." Whew, it's finally time to be free! β
Dai Dameng and others did not act.
"What's wrong?" Selene asked, "Are you trying to break up from here?" β
When it comes to breaking up, Selene is almost happy.
Dai Dameng and the others shook their heads like rattles and said together: "The book says that Hadava has revoked the crime of grabbing Genbao here. β
"Just you people, I don't know a few big characters, and you actually learned to be nerds." Selene patted her forehead and said, "I've really convinced you." Well, I declare that your crimes are revoked, and you are free! β
All this is exactly the same as described in the book, and Dai Dameng and the others are very happy.
Selene played the lute, Dai Dameng and the others carried cloth bags, empty wine bottles, and roared "Song of the Dragonborn", striding towards Ximu Town in the east.
Ximu Town is also a key stop on the Dragonborn Road, and the book says that there are two things to do here. One was to promise Alvor, the blacksmith, to send a letter to Lord Balguf at the Snow Dragon's Palace, asking him to send troops to strengthen the defense of Ximu Town. One is to help Lukan, the grocery store owner in Ximu Town, recover the golden dragon claw from the Coldfall Mountains.
When I arrived in Creekwood, the first thing I did was to dispose of the loot. Selene walked into the grocery store and asked Dai Dameng and the others to wait outside with their things.
Brother Fifty-two pushed Dai Dameng with his elbow and said, "Boss, there is a chicken!" β
Fifty-two brothers are orchid fingers. When Dai Dameng and his relatives confessed, they found that everyone was orphaned, and many people could not tell their age, so they adopted a very manly way - to see who urinated farther, to rank them. But no matter what the order is, everyone calls each other brothers. Dai Dameng is tall and strong, the farthest to urinate, is the eldest brother, and the orchid finger is the closest, is the fifty-second brother.
Dai Dameng's prestige is very high, especially after touching the Guardian Stone, everyone admires him. Now that Selene is gone, it's up to him to call the shots.
There was a chicken, swaggering through their ranks. Dai Dameng also saw it and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" β
Brother Fifty-two said: "The book says that Grabbing Genbao killed a chicken on the street of Ximu Town......"
So what are you waiting for? Dai Daemon shouted: "Stomon it!" β
Fifty-two people were kicked by one person, and the chicken let out a scream and was trampled into meat sauce by them.
Dai Dameng polished his shoes and asked, "And then?" β
Brother Fifty-two flipped through the book and said: "Then Grabbing Genbao was violently beaten by the angry residents of Ximu Town......"
Before he could finish speaking, a strong woman on the street took out a dagger and shouted: "You have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to come to Ximu Town to spread wild!! β
A wood elf threw the firewood in his hand, took out his bow and arrows, and surrounded him, "If you dare to kill the mayor's chicken, you will pay for it!" β
A bearded man in a blacksmith's apron rushed over with a two-handed sledgehammer, "My sledgehammer is hungry!" β
Huhula, dozens of people ran out in a blink of an eye.
Dai Dameng hurriedly shouted: "Don't fight back, everyone!" Selene said, don't let us cause trouble. Dai Dameng squatted down with his head in his hands and asked the fifty-two brothers beside him: "And then, what does the book say?" β
Brother Fifty-two had never seen such a scene, he was frightened, his voice trembled a little, and he said, "Then, Hadava came forward to relieve the crisis of grasping the root treasure. β
As he spoke, the group of people from Ximu Town had already surrounded Dai Dameng and the others, crackling and beating them indiscriminately.
Dai Da has rough skin and thick meat, and he has been used to being beaten since he was a child, but he doesn't feel anything. The others obviously didn't fight him, and the screams were endless, and he heard the pain in his ears, and jumped up and shouted: "Don't beat them, I'm the boss, and I have the ability to rush me!" Suddenly, a man jumped up, slapped him on the head, and scolded, "What can you do!" Stand aside. β
Dai Dameng looked at it, and the person was actually Selene, and his heart was steady. Selene was smart, smarter than the fifty-two of them combined, and there was nothing she couldn't solve with her, and Dai Damont trusted her very much.
There were several other people around Selene, including five guards with helmets.
"Stop!" The guards knocked on their shields and stopped the fighting.
"It's very clear, let's take care of the arbitration by our Snow Man Guard." The guard who took the lead first asked the sturdy woman who took the lead, "Mayor Geerduo, what do you have to say?" β
The woman said, "These barbarians have trampled on my chickens and must be compensated." β
"Yes." The guard turned to Selene and asked, "This lady, do you have anything to state?" β
Selene: "It's my fault for this matter, and I'm willing to pay compensation." How much do I need to pay? β
Geerduo said, "Ten septins." β
"Well, the price is fair and reasonable." Selene took out ten Septins and handed them to Geerduo.
The guard asked, "Mayor Geerduo, are you satisfied with the outcome of this arbitration?" β
Ge Erduo nodded and said, "Satisfied." β
The guard asked Selene, "This lady, are you satisfied with the outcome of this arbitration?" β
Selene nodded, "Satisfied." β
"Good." The guard said, "I declare this arbitration closed. The two ladies can leave with your people. β
Ge Erduo arrogantly said to Selene, "Take care of your group of brutes, don't make trouble in my town." β
Selene ignored her words, turned to the guard and said, "Since the matter of killing chickens has been arbitrated, let's ask the adults to arbitrate another matter, the matter of my people being beaten!" β
She spoke calmly, but Dai Dameng could hear her anger.
Ge'er Duo crossed his waist and said, "If they kill my chicken, they should be beaten!" This matter is over, and there is nothing to arbitrate. β
"Nope! Madam. Selene confronted her, "These are two things. It's not right to kill chickens, you should lose money. Did they say they wouldn't pay? Did you come up and beat people and give them a chance? They were beaten with their hands, did you stop? No! You have been beating them, and the punishment they have suffered is far greater than their fault. Their mistakes should be punished by the laws of Xueman, not by the lynching of Ximu Town, and I hope that the guards will give them fair arbitration! β
When Selene said this, Dai Dameng and the others screamed very angrily.
The guard looked at Ge Erduo and said, "She has a point. β
Ge Erduo lost her arrogance and asked, "What do you want?" β
"Fifty-two of us were beaten, and I ask for two thousand and eighty septins," said Selene. β
The guard nodded, "Well, that's fair. β
"Two thousand and eighty septin?" Ge'er Duo screamed, completely lacking the pride just now, and pulled Selene's arm and shook it vigorously: "Sister! I'm not right! I'm damned! I apologize to the brothers! Is it okay for everyone to be private? β
Selene accepted the private, and Ge'erduo and those people apologized to Dai Dameng and the others one by one.
