Chapter 34: The Song of Return

“…… As far as I can remember, my father hadn't left us to go to the World War. He forced me to swing my fist at the stake day after day, grabbed the young wolf cubs to fight me, and made me run naked in the cold wind, all just to train me to be a warrior. ”

“…… My brother didn't have any impression of our father, who couldn't even stand on his feet, and could only circle around the knees of adults like a little puppy. Fortunately, he was able to live a more cheerful and enthusiastic life because of this. ”

“…… After my father left, I was lost, like I had lost my bearings. His encouragement and encouragement have since disappeared from my ears, and all I can rely on is Krako. It was he who continued to raise me, teach me, and guide me in place of my father, until now. ”

Farkas's memory of his comrades is deep and clear, and the emotions contained in his words are quite simple and sincere. He has been in the Brothers-in-Arms since he was four or five years old, and Uncle Virgina's memories of the Comrades-in-Arms are probably not as indelible as he is.

The soldiers of the Brothers-in-Arms have their own pasts, and I wonder how they will feel when they recall the ups and downs they have experienced over the years. Perhaps, as Farkas said, "It's just a pity that there is no going back to that time." ”

……

"Well, it's sharp, and more importantly, it's sturdy, not damaged in the slightest."

As I swung my ebony blade and sliced the steel sword from the Sky Forge, Pharkas asked for my ebony blade to play with it. But after all, there is a lot of strength on Mephala, and I don't know what the consequences will be if ordinary people hold it.

"There's nothing strange about this weapon in your hand, right?"

"Strange place? It is indeed made of ebony ore, but its weight is beyond common sense. This makes it completely unsuitable for frontal combat. ”

Farkas commented on it, showing no signs of inappropriateness. Could it be that Ebony Blade has really become well-behaved and docile under the bloodline of the Dragonborn, as Farenga said?

I spent the afternoon learning swordsmanship under the tutelage of Fakas. Well, to say that it is to learn swordsmanship is actually more like a blind analogy.

The ebony blade is too light to match the style of Farkas or even the entire group of comrades. If I were to take their steel two-handed weapons, with my current small body, I would have to swing back and forth for five seconds with a single swing, not to mention the physical exertion.

So Farkas had to teach me some combat experience, such as how to deal with wolves in packs, how to get rid of the trolls that followed him while riding a horse, how to avoid angering giants when encountering them, and so on.

"It seems that the only thing you can do like a warrior is the roar." Farkas said helplessly.

Most of the dragon souls I collected not long ago were sucked by the ebony blade on my waist, and now they are not as powerful as before. Fortunately, there is no problem with using it for display, otherwise I would really be useless in the eyes of Farkass.

"And how will you evaluate me?"

"I don't know what to do. If it weren't for Krako's request, I wouldn't have bothered with these trivial matters. I'll ask others for advice and I'll let you know tomorrow. ”

……

After dinner with him, I went back to my room.

"Huh?" Unlike last night, I saw a white-skinned Nord lying on the chuang next door, and the room number told me I wasn't in the wrong room.

"You didn't seem to sleep here yesterday, did you?"

"Oh, I was drunk yesterday and seems to have slept with Artis's chuang."

"Uh...... Do you like to drink? ”

"There's so little you can do, and apart from training, it's drinking. The more you put the wine, the more mellow it becomes, but the blade will rust after a long time. Why didn't Krako let me participate in the Storm Cloak? Didn't Isgramer gather five hundred heroes for this purpose in the first place? ”

……

The chatter and complaints of my roommates affected my mood. Like last night, I left my dorm room and went to Krako's study, looking for something of interest. Krako told me that there were some books in his study that chronicled the past of his comrades.

Several books called "The Song of Return" are juxtaposed. These books look very old, perhaps precious antiques, and the titles are highly related to the "Great Return Period" that I learned about not long ago, so they are worth a look.

Volume two? Well, I'll have to start with a scroll.

I inserted the second volume back into the bookshelf, took out the one next to it, and opened it.

Volume seven? There are a total of five copies of "Song of Return" on the shelf, how can there be a volume seven?

Then I opened the remaining three books in turn. Volume XIX, Volume XXIV, Volume 56.

Well, it seems to be a rare and unique book, at least fifty-six volumes of the anthology have only five volumes left in Krako's study.

……

"Our great lord Isgramer sent his two beloved sons to search for the bravest warriors on the continent and return with them."

"My brother was a wise military strategist, and when he applied what he learned to command battles, the enemy was always caught off guard. The younger brother is a fearless warrior, and in war he can always create superhuman feats with his personal bravery. The two combined wisdom and strength to enable them to destroy all the powerful enemies in front of them. ”

"The younger brother went to the shipyard and rented two boats, which he named after the two brightest stars in the sky. They split up and head to the famous Soldier's Academy in Atmora in search of their most trusted companions and advisors. What happened to Tamriel was enough to entice the most brilliant warriors to put aside their careers and follow in their footsteps. ”

So they summoned famous warriors, some of whom were skilled in martial arts, some of whom were of astonishing strength, some of whom could spit fire from their mouths, and some of whom had eyes like torches. The names of these people were not known at the time, but some of them were destined to become famous in the future. ”

"When the distant continent of Atmora in the green summer disappeared into the horizon, the ships of the warriors eagerly headed towards the continent of Tamriel. The younger brother waited for the day when he would be reunited with his brother, and he vowed to let the treacherous elves pay for their own blood. ”

"Ginareth can summon strong winds to help brave sailors sail to the battle of fate, or blow sails to break ships apart. When a violent hurricane came, the younger brother was undaunted because his team was strong and courageous. Their warship went straight through the raging forest, as if they were being pulled by the ropes of fate. ”

"However, fate always presents itself in a different way for everyone. When his brother successfully set foot on the land of Tamriel, his brother's fleet became the first of the five hundred to be killed, and was first inscribed on the roster of the sacred and respected Brother-in-Arms. ”

……

The first volume of this work has been lost. But I already know the origin of the story. At the end of the Elven Age, fearful of the growing number of human immigrants, the Elves launched an exterminating purge of the ancient Nordic settlements in Skyrim. This leads to a history of human revenge against elves.

The revenge of the Nords? I had some doubts, but Clarco next to me gave me detailed answers.

"In other words, because of the different degrees of hybridity with the elves, the humans from the continent of Atmora are finally divided into three types: Nords, Imperials, and Brightons?"

"That's right. The human slaves who were taken captive to Celerdil later drove out the elves with the help of the Nords and established their own kingdom, and they are now known as the Imperials. The human slaves of High Rock Province have completely merged with the local elves in bloodline through a more peaceful way, and their facial features are softer than those of the Imperials, and their physique is more suitable for using magic, that is, you Brightons. ”

"What will be the reaction of the Nords when they come to High Rock and find that humans have fused with elves in blood?"

"There's no doubt they're frustrated. The fusion of the enemy's bloodline with the Atmora bloodline makes them both unbearable and unwilling, but they have no other way but to accept the status quo of coexistence. ”

"What does the continent of Atmora look like? I've never heard of it. ”

"Probably a few hundred years after Isgramer, the continent of Atmora lost contact with Tamriel, and there were many people who wanted to cross the sea to see it, but they never returned."

The sky where you can see the aurora is already the extreme north of Nairn, and further north...... The continent of Atmora is theoretically supposed to be located in another hemisphere, and the ancient Nords may have crossed the ocean at the North Pole of the planet Nairn before coming to the sky.

"What could be the reason for the loss of contact between the two sides?"

"No one can tell. It is believed that a certain king of Didra pulled the continent into his own realm of annihilation. ”

"Will the continent of Tamriel face the same risk?"

"Don't worry, the existence of the Amulet of Kings will forever separate the Tamriel Continent from the Realm of Annihilation."

"What's that?"

"It is said to be a testimony to the contract signed between the 'Slave Empress' Alessia and the dragon of time, Akatosh. As long as this contract exists, Akatosh will forever protect the continent of Tamriel from the Deedra Monarchs. ”

……

"How does it feel?" Krako asked me again how I felt about my comrades.

"I don't know what my purpose is when I come to my comrades. I wanted to learn some swordsmanship here to protect myself in Skyrim, but now I find that your fighting style doesn't suit me well. I might look at your collection, but I don't think I'm staying here because of that. ”

"When I was a guard for those princes and nobles in the province of Falling Hammer, doing worthless work day after day, how could I know what the future of Lu Dao would look like? My senior found me, he saw the blood of a man in me, and brought me, who was still a child, to the big family of the comrades-in-arms. I traveled and adventured as much as I could, learning all kinds of combat techniques, and working hard for the big family of my comrades, which eventually earned me and everyone else recognition. ”

The soldiers of the Brothers-in-Arms need a real battle to prove themselves, and they are constantly training their strength and sharpening their will, waiting for that day to come. If I had been one of them, I might have been inspired by Krako's words.

It's a pity I'm not.

"I'll be staying with you these days. When my uncle comes to Xueman, I will go back to where I need to be. ”

……

With Krako's sigh, I left his study.

When I turned down Krako's offer, he looked disappointed. More than that, the word disappointment is far from fully describing what he was like at the time, or more accurately, like a loss of hope.

Why does Krako want me to stay here so strongly? I didn't see how much I meant to him, and he never cared about what I thought was valuable. He must have been hiding something from me, and he might even get me involved in a mess, so it would be better for me to get out of here as soon as possible.

"I heard you need a reason to stay? Soon, you'll find it. ”

"Huh?" Just as I was thinking about my situation, a voice came from beside me that stopped me.

"Krako's wisdom is dwindling with the rest of his lifespan, and he can't see the future clearly."

The smell of danger and temptation in this man made me feel an instinctive desire. I don't know how to describe this longing in detail, it's out of step with normal emotions and desires, just like it doesn't belong to human beings, but I'm still deeply affected by it.

"I don't think people with only one eye can see better."

This inexplicable feeling made me wary. I suppressed the longing in my heart and walked quickly away from the strange man.

Preparing for a second overhaul. Hey, there are fewer and fewer manuscripts, so sad......

The shielding system is really bad.
