"Father! Come on! There's a guy lying in front of our house! ”

After a hard battle, tired and tired, I stumbled towards a bright spot in the distance, and finally rested under a lighthouse. After some time, the locked door next to him was opened, and a little boy walked out. Seeing the stranger in front of him, he quickly closed the door again and called out to his father.

"Hello? You okay? ”

The wooden door opened again, and the interviewer was a man in his thirties, presumably the boy's father. I opened my eyes, straightened my face slightly, and stood up with Witch Slade to make sure I was who I was.

"Hello, I am a soldier of the Brothers-in-Arms Regiment, I was injured in a battle with a beast not long ago, can I recuperate with you for a few days?" I reached into my clothes and felt for it, and found that there were still some objects crumpled in the cracks that did not fall out, "This is my legal identity in Xueman, and I will give you a specific reward." ”

If you want to gain the kindness of strangers, politely showing your innocence is the foundation, and if you can give some more benefits, it will be a matter of course. The Redguard man in front of me took my ID and went through it, and accepted my request.

"My name is Hubbard, the owner of the Frostflow Lighthouse." Hubbard stroked the boy's head and motioned for the boy not to hide behind him, "This is my son, Manny. ”

The boy greeted me, and then a little girl ran out of the house in high spirits, "Welcome, uncle, our house is almost never visited by outsiders, and we are almost suffocating!" ”

"Oh, I'll make you smile," Hubbard explained to me with a helpless smile on my face, "this is my daughter Sudy, who has always found it too boring to live in a place like this. ”

"It's definitely boring for a child to live in such a deserted place, but I'm just more concerned that I've become an uncle-level character."

"Ha Luha, when the two little ones called me father for the first time, I had the same thoughts as you."

I nodded to Hubbard's sons and daughters and followed them into the house.

……

"Thank you, ma'am." Standing on the top floor of the lighthouse, I took a three-toothed walrus steak from Hubbard's wife and continued to chat with Hubbard, the roaring fire providing guidance and warmth to the passing ships.

"It's rare to see the Redguards in Skyrim Province. You guys feel good about living here all these years, right? ”

"Actually, we just moved in not long ago."

"Oh? Why did you move to such a remote and cold place? ”

"I used to be a sailor, sailing back and forth between the drop hammer and the morning wind. Later, I made enough money and decided to quit, but I was used to being with the ocean. So I bought it, a lighthouse that stood on the coastline and silently guided me for more than a decade. As you can see, facing the sea, peaceful and peaceful, there is no better place to spend your old age in peace. ”

Hubbard smoked a hookah from the Red Guard Province as he recounted his life's journey. His wife smiled faintly, apparently agreeing with her husband's remarks. Yes, there is no better place for a sailor to spend his old age in peace, but their sons and daughters don't seem to think so.

"I know my children don't like it here, but I want them to live in peace and tranquility until they grow up to be on their own. Moreover, what parent doesn't want their children to be able to spend more time with them? Alas...... But they will eventually leave, and I don't know how long this will last. When I die, my children will be satisfied if they can throw my bones into this fire, so that I can look at the endless ocean forever. ”

Following Hubbard's line of sight, I also looked into the distance. The lighthouse sits on a high cliff on the coast, and the vast expanse of ice floe makes the endless ocean seem calm and deserted. Looking east along the coastline, a castle-like building caught my eye. The huge complex is built on a cliff-high platform, which is supported by a huge stone pillar and connected to the wave reef at the bottom, which is very magical.

"What's that castle?"

"Winterhold Academy of Magic."

Hubbard didn't even look up, and he knew what I was asking. From here, there seems to be only one place where you can feel new.

"Academy of Magic? You may want to send your children to the academy to study, so that they can develop their abilities without leaving them too far from home. ”

"Magic? I don't want my children to become demon worshippers, and besides, they don't have the talent to do so. ”

"Also, it's easy for those who seek magic to fall into an insatiable thirst for power, and King Didra will naturally find them for that." Thinking about the Grimm Jasmine Witch Order that I had eliminated with Uncle Musk, I agreed with him - though I think it was more of a bias against him, since the Redguards have no tradition of practicing magic.

……

"Uncle, I heard you're a warrior?" After dinner, Hubbard's two children, Manny and Sudy, stuck to me.

"yes." I replied to both of them with a smile.

"So, have you ever defeated the Frost Wraith?" Hearing my affirmation, the two little ones seemed a little skeptical and asked me the next question.

"Frost Spirit?" I pulled out two blue-white transparent pieces from my body and gave them to the two of them, the teeth I had extracted when I killed the Frost Wraith on the way - because the teeth of the Frost Wraith are more valuable alchemy materials.

"Yay! What a warrior! The cool touch made the two little ones cheer.

"Does the Frost Wraith have anything to do with warriors?"

"As the books say, their bodies are transparent, they can fly and use magic, they are the most fearsome hunters on the ice field, and only true warriors can kill them with their ability and courage!"

"yes, yes, I've heard that everyone who joins the Stormcloak must kill a Frost Wraith to prove their prowess!"

The two children scrambled to tell me what they had learned about the Frost Wraith from the books and culture of the Nords. From their words, I can understand that the Frost Wraith is a litmus test in the Nord tradition.

"Uncle, can you put on a show for us?"

In the face of their pleading eyes, I was a little embarrassed. How do fighters go about performing? Do you want me to break a boulder in my chest? If you think about it, let's play some tricks that can coax children.

"Wow!"

I used the Flame Breath Dragon's Roar carefully. Seeing a mouthful of fire erupt from my mouth, the two children applauded enthusiastically and let out an incredible exclamation, "Uncle, aren't you a warrior?" How can you still conjure fire like the magicians of Winterhold Academy? ”

Uh, how did you get to the Mage Academy, I remember their father didn't seem to like magic very much, so let's do it another way.

I walked over to Manny's toy car and lay down, "Fus." ”

Well, even though I had tried my best to restrain my strength, the car slammed into the wall of the room without hesitation, "Bang! Scattered into a pile of parts. I looked at Manny in embarrassment, but Manny wasn't angry at all, and he was very happy with my performance.

"Uncle, can you teach me this trick?"

This...... I really want to draw a few black lines on my head. Teach you, and then a secondary 2 teenager shouts Vosloda in the house all day long?

"What do you want to do with this?"

"There are often snow rats digging holes in the basement, and the sound of thump makes it difficult for us to sleep at night. When I learn this trick, I'm going to get revenge on it in the same way! ”

"Nonsense! That's obviously you sneaking into the basement to blame the snow rat! If you play pranks like this, your mother will continue to criticize you! ”

Well, the two children inexplicably got into a mouth, which just saved me a headache for this.

Late at night.

"Boom. Boom. Boom. ”

It is very easy for the keen senses to hear the rhythmic tapping sound from the ground.

"Boom. Boom. Boom. ”

I rolled over and yawned sleepily.

"Boom. Boom. Boom. ”

Angry! Is there really a snow rat burrowing, or is it a prank by a little boy?

I used the Detection Life to look next door, and the two little ones were lying peacefully in their respective beds, and it seemed that there was really a snow rat burrowing. It's okay, just help them solve this problem by the way. It's just that this snow rat is a little too strong, and it sounds more like a human using a hammer to strike.

I carried an oil lamp to the entrance to the basement. The staircase swirled down and finally sank into the pitch black, and I shuddered at the sight. Belch...... After thinking about it for a while, I took out the witch and hung it on my back, and walked down to the ground.
