29. Wolf smoke rises

Jageragh's so-called suggestion is undoubtedly one of the most difficult problems that Asa has before him after the vampire plague has been solved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info or this question should have been placed before the vampire, but at that time Asa himself was in chaos, and choosing to temporarily avoid this question Asa asked himself was also a last resort.

But now that he has obtained the Bow of Aureel, obtained the three Elder Scrolls, and even the dragon sacrifice mask has been collected, and Asa's days of facing the black dragon Alduin have basically entered the countdown stage, if he doesn't face this problem, can he still quietly deal with the black dragon Alduin under the nose of the little princess, a genuine dragonborn? Let's not say that it's not feasible to do this, but Mr. Ao has said that Asa's identity should have been noticed by the Black Dragon Alduin when Helgen first met, and the reason why it never appeared in front of him again was that it obviously wanted to avoid him, and if he wanted to find another chance to face the Black Dragon Alduin, he could only do it with the orthodox Dragonborn, that is, Hamia. Because only the dragon soul of the last dragonborn can temporarily cover the dragon soul of Ao Zong in his body.

"Alas~~What a headache~~" Asa, who had already left the side hall of Pelagios and returned to the main venue of the banquet, couldn't help sighing, but at this time, a somewhat low voice suddenly came from beside him: "At such a celebratory banquet, why are you still talking about headaches?" Could it be that there are some after-effects left by the crusade against Portmar? ”

Asa turned his head and saw that it was General Tulius, who had rarely taken off his armor at today's banquet and put on a gorgeous dress like an ordinary nobleman, probably because he didn't want the strong military aura on his body to spread on such an occasion. He was holding a silver plate in his left hand, and with his right hand, he began to select food at the large table in front of Asa, most of which were delicate-looking pastries.

Of course, Asa couldn't tell General Tulius about his real troubles, and he also knew that this stubborn little old man couldn't take the initiative to talk to him about anything special, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to ask him about his intentions, but pretended to be a little surprised and said, "What a surprise to me, I didn't expect that General Tulius you were unexpectedly a sweet tooth?" Aren't you worried about your health? ”

Asa's subtext is, aren't you afraid of high blood sugar and diabetes?

However, General Tulius not only did not have a trace of anger on his face, but showed a rare smile and said: "Eat more if you have the opportunity, it's good if I don't have anemia in my body, and I can't die if I eat some sweets, and ...... I'm afraid I won't have a chance to eat it after a while. ”

This old man is very eloquent! You can actually pull the topic where you want to talk about it! The last sentence clearly wants to seduce your curiosity.

Thinking like this, Asa didn't want to talk about these serious topics so quickly, so he pretended to look up and down at the body of General Tulius in brocade clothes and said, "Indeed, General, you are a little thinner, and eating more sweet things is also very helpful for thinking about military strategy." ”

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you, the honorary court mage of the Blue Palace after the honorary captain is also yours, even the first chief mage Salidor has not concurrently served as the court mage of the Supreme King, this is the first time you have ever experienced the world."

"Anyway, it's all a false name, by the way, I haven't heard from the little princess for a while, she said she was going to save her good friend, and now what about her?"

"She's rescued Dilina, and she's preparing to face Alduin with a few friends in a place called the Sky Sanctuary." Turlius said this, looking at Asa and said, "As a dragonborn, how do I think you seem to be a little indifferent to dealing with the Devourer of Worlds?" ”

"It's just that I'm riddled with mundane things, and you know, I basically can't do the things I do without them. Besides, I helped her find The Elder Scrolls, no. Asa himself also understands in his heart what the general public thinks of their two dragonborns, although he has prevented the vampire plague and has become a heroic mage promoted by Dugu City to the outside world, but he really has to be regarded as a corpse vegetarian when it comes to the "duty" of the dragonborn.

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, after all, you two should know this matter in your own minds. Let's talk about the news you brought back earlier. ”

Here comes the point!

Asa perked up and asked in a low voice, "There has been new news in the past two days?" ”

"Yes," Tulius also lowered his voice, "The news from the secret agents hidden in Stormhelm City has arrived today, Uffric has already sent down the ******, and there are also messengers heading for Snowman City, and now the Stormcloaked soldiers of Stormhelm City have begun to mobilize for war." ”

"Huh? Is he really going to attack Snowman? Asa was a little surprised, the walls of Snowman City were thick, and the news of the defeat of the dragon Mirmenir by the soldiers of Snowman City and the two Dragonborns spread throughout the sky, and Snowman City, with its towering walls and brave and fearless soldiers, had become the third largest force in this Skyrim Civil War, and even had more say in the other nine cities than Dugu City and Wind Helmet City.

"To be honest, it's normal for him to have this decision, it's just a matter of time. Have you ever been to Stormhelm? ”

"I just stayed in the city for one night when I was on the vampire." Asa told the truth, after all, it was useless to be a good man on this issue.

"In this case, I will briefly tell you about the situation in the Windhelm City. The city that once belonged to Sgramer now resembles an old warrior, his mind imprisoned, his body decaying, and the cold weather of Wintercastle has made the city inhabitable by few people except the Nords, and even outsiders are criticized for the racist xenophobia of the Sommer people in the current Stormcloak. You've seen the docks outside Windhelm, right? Do you think it is comparable to our Eastern Empire Company dock? The only source of income, Rift City, is now even more degraded to a certain extent. In such a situation, attacking Snow Man City has become a multi-pronged option. ”

General Tulius said so much to Asa with rare patience, and Asa listened very carefully, although he knew that the other party must have wanted to help him in the end after saying so much, but it was also helpful for him to listen to a veteran's analysis of the current situation in this way, after all, it was his weakness to see the whole situation strategically.

"First of all, the economic problem, due to the geographical location, although the shipping business is prosperous, the sea that cannot be conquered by human beings will not always treat us so politely. Therefore, the commercial center of Skyrim Province has been in Snowman City all these years. Getting it will not only alleviate the financial crisis, but also get sufficient military supplies. The second is the issue of the battle line, occupying Snowman City means that more than half of the territory of Skyrim Province has fallen into the hands of Uffric, and the main source of our Empire's military spending, the Ruichi Silver Mine, will also be directly threatened. Finally, the Skyrim Province of Snowy Bargulf has a lot of say, and once he surrenders and declares his support for Ufrik, the crown on Elysifher's head is useless. ”

Asa couldn't help sighing, and said a little helplessly: "Having said so much, I see that you didn't come to ask me why I was shouting about my headache, but wanted to give me a headache, right?" ”

Tulius also had a rare embarrassment on his face, and explained: "I don't want to go back on my word if I can, it's really Balguf that there are some contradictions between him and me, and as far as I know...... Are you the baron of Snowman? Although you are unwilling to contribute to the Imperial Army, what do you think of protecting Xue Man? ”

"Alas, I know that a Dugu City villa is not such a cheap thing, let's say, what do you want me to do?"

"It's simple, do what you can! Defend the snowy city! (To be continued.) )
