On the execution table, a sturdy Nord man stood with his head held high, and if it weren't for the fact that his hands were tied with hemp rope to show that he was one of the protagonists of this public execution scene, you would never think that he was the unlucky guy who was about to fall to the ground.

Perhaps it was the realization that if a macho man was not arranged in this situation, he would lose the battle first, so standing in front of the guillotine at the moment was a male officer who was taller and stronger than the prisoner, and of course there was another protagonist standing next to him - a masked executioner with a decapitating axe.

This familiar image reminded Asa of the same scene that had happened to him in Helgen, and he was naturally curious about the man who was about to be stabbed in the neck but did not change his face. So he quickly grabbed Dianster, who wanted to turn around and walk away when he saw that the situation was wrong, and said, "Don't worry! This kind of thing doesn't happen all the time! ”

"Uh, Mr. Asa, why do you even like to watch this kind of excitement? The taste is so heavy~~~" Dianster looked disgusted, obviously although the little girl could hunt down the demons and the undead without changing her face, she was still quite uncomfortable with such a bloody execution scene.

"Well, if you've been on the execution table like me and walked off without losing your head, you should be able to understand how I'm feeling right now."

"Eh! Mr. Asa, have you ever had this experience before!? Not only Dianster, but even Serana was interested, pulling the corner of Asa's coat and asking, "What are you talking about?" ”

"There's nothing to say, it's Helgen, Dianster, you've probably heard of it, right? On the day of Alduin's return, I was waiting for the beheading with Ulfrik in Helgen~~~" Because Asa's expression and tone were too relaxed, the two women were directly speechless.

At this time, the officer on the execution table seemed to finally feel that today's wind was a little noisy, raised his hands and pressed to signal the onlookers below to be quiet, and then turned back to the death row prisoner with his head held high like a drama actor and said aloud: "Rogville, after Ulfrik-Storm Cloak killed the High King of Skyrim Province, Toig, you, as a gatekeeper of Dugu City, turned your back on your duty, and you opened the door for Uffric, causing Uffric to get away with it, It has even led to a split in the province as it is today. Your actions are tantamount to a betrayal of the Empire and to all the inhabitants of Dugu City. Now that the Dugu City court has sentenced you to beheading, do you have anything else to say? ”

Asa and they only then knew that this person was still a "big man", and it had been several months since the beginning of the civil war, and he was only executed today because he had experienced at least a fairer trial process than Assa's, and in this regard, he was actually fated to be alive today, and he should be grateful to Dade. But apparently this is just the idea of "almost being killed by a careless person" like Asa, and people don't think so.

The Nord man named Rogvir looked at the crowd under the execution table, straightened his broad chest and said aloud: "Captain Edith, and the people of Dugu City, I would like to say it again: it was Ufric who challenged the High King Toyg, and King Toyg himself accepted it, he was defeated by Ufrik in a dignified duel, so Ufrik is not a murderer, but a warrior who duels according to the Nord tradition and finally wins." So I'm not rebelling, it doesn't matter if you kill me, but that's how we do it! This is the custom of all the Nords in our Skyrim Province since ancient times. ”

His tone grew more and more intense, and at the end he even shouted like a roar, not looking like a prisoner about to be executed, but like a brave fighter. However, the crowd below didn't seem to be moved by his words, which is no wonder, after all, the crowd below was not all Nords, but more Imperials. Some shouted curses at him, others booed with contempt, and of course some residents who knew him well lamented it. The officer in charge of the beheading showed a look of pity and said: "Rogville, you are a rare person with high morals in Dugu City, but I regret to tell you that you are completely wrong in this matter, and you must pay with your life," After speaking, he pressed Rogville down on the stone stake on the execution table, and said to the executioner in an undulating tone: "Let's start the execution." ”

At this time, there was a middle-aged woman beside Asa and the three of them, tears suddenly fell like pearls with broken threads, looking at Rogville on the execution table and crying silently, the child she was carrying even pulled her sleeve and shouted: "Mother! Mom! You can't let them do this to Uncle Rogieville! "It seems that this woman is a sister of Rogieville. But the woman's tears and the child's words apparently did not stop the further development of events: the executioner approached him and raised his execution axe, and Rogville said only lightly before the head hit the ground: "On this day, I went to Songade......"

The "click", although he had only heard it once in Helgen, but since he was about to become a second time at the time, it was a lie that the memory was not profound, and Asa even thought the sound was somewhat familiar, and then Rogville's head fell into the basket in front of him like the Stormcloaked soldier at that time.

The noisy crowd finally fell silent the moment the head hit the ground, and then no one said anything more, and the crowd of onlookers left quietly, and soon only the three Asa and the weeping mother and son were left on the scene.

The officer in charge of the execution seemed to really know the family, so what he said to Rogville at the end may have been sincere, but it didn't matter now, I saw him walk calmly to the crying woman and said: "It's a pity that Greta, Rogville is a man of high morals, but I have to say that he did something completely wrong this time." ”

"Needless to say, Edith, just tell me when I'll be able to get his body back."

"Soon, it's over, and there are some simple formalities."

"Wait until I can retrieve his body, I don't want to say anything more to you now." After saying that, the woman turned around and left, and the officer named Edith couldn't help but sigh.

……

Watching this scene not far away, Asa suddenly lost interest in continuing the tour, and seeing that Serana and Dianster's expressions were not much better, he couldn't help but say with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I pulled you guys to watch this unpleasant 'hilarity'." ”

"Well, don't say that, especially if I brought you here in the first place."

Seeing that Dianst and Asa seemed to be a little eager to take responsibility for the unhappy scene just now, Serana smiled helplessly and changed the subject: "Don't argue about this little thing, let's find a place to have a meal first." I have also heard of the food in Dugu City, and I enjoyed the delicacies of the most exclusive restaurant yesterday, so let's find a roadside restaurant to try today. ”

"That's a good idea, oh, look, there's one over there, the name is quite interesting, 'Blink Snow Rat', let's go in and have a look, I hope it's not charred snow rat meat~~~" (To be continued.) )
