According to Hadava, the dragon is mysterious in Skyrim, but it is no stranger to its inhabitants. Dragons exist only in legends and epics, and these myths have been passed down from generation to generation, and no one will deny the existence of dragons; When people finally see the real dragon with their own eyes, they will be surprised, but it is far from the point of subverting the three views; Even due to the Nord's unintimidating nature, the soldiers in the Helgen fortress would bravely fight the dragons - but with terrible results.

Neither Hadava, nor his immediate superior, General Tulius, nor even the magical advisors of the various lords of Skyrim had seen the dragon with their own eyes. It wasn't until the Helgen Fortress changed that the dragon began to slowly return to human vision, and the distant sky near now and then would be a dragon flying by.

As for the origin of the dragon, Hadava thinks that Ufrik colluded with a dragon and destroyed the execution ground to save Ufrik, but he also believes that Ufrik is not qualified to collude with a dragon.

Dragons don't have a good reputation in the legends of the Nords, as they ruled the continent in ancient times and even wanted to enslave the ancient Nords to their tyranny. Musk once mentioned this when he told me about the origin of ghouls, and even his mask came from this era.

While I've considered a possible relationship between Ufric and the dragon, I'm more inclined to believe that the dragon just saved Ufrick, since Musk told me that the dragon named Alduin might have come for me. I trust Uncle Musk's opinion more than my own thinking.

However, I naturally did not reveal such important information, so I fell into confusion with Hadawa.

I received a very important piece of information from Hadava's words, a dragon is said to be staying in the realm of Snowman, and Lord Barguf of Snowman is gathering people to explore the dragon's habitat and prepare for ...... Slay the dragon.

……

I was very satisfied with the exchange with Hadawa, not only to nominally clear the identity of the condemned prisoner, but also to obtain a lot of important information. I provided the news that Larov was still alive, and Hadawa's uncle, Alwo, thanked me on behalf of the lumbermill owner - he learned of my identity as a traveler and gave me a horse with a horseshoe saddle pedal that he had made himself. Even though my team was two, I was too embarrassed to cheekily ask him for a horse.

"I know this is hard for you to accept, and even though the Empire wanted to kill you not long ago, I still want you to join the Imperial Legion. The addition of a mage will help the legion somewhat, and the legion will not disadvantage a person who has contributed to it. If Ufric did collude with the evil dragons, only General Tullius could stop him. ”

Out of a concern for the scarce profession of mage, Hadava tried to persuade me to join the Imperial Legion.

But he was disappointed, and I was waiting to return to Earth, and it was obviously impossible for me to live and die in this world for boring political conflicts. What's more, in the Helgen Fortress, the Imperial Legion almost killed me just to be on the safe side. Although I would make the same decision in the position of the female captain of the empire, it does not mean that I will not be dissatisfied as a person in the party.

"I have my own path to follow. But when I'm caught up in it, I'll consider your suggestion. ”

After having dinner with Hadawa and his uncle's family, I said goodbye to him and went back to the hotel.

……

Musk once told me that to replenish the power of the dragon's roar, you need to pass the ghoul lord's trial or absorb a dragon's soul. The Ghoul Lord cannot be defeated by me alone, and Lord Xueman's dragon slaying plan is ...... I suddenly felt that even if it had nothing to do with the dragon soul, I should go and see this kind of Hollywood-level big scene.

I told Musk what I thought, and Musk didn't have any objections. He's been so busy parsing the Elder Scrolls lately that he's barely ever been out of his hotel room.

"If they succeed in slaying the dragon, how should I absorb the dragon's soul?"

"There is no specific record. The related saying is that it is the instinct of the Dragonborn to absorb the soul of the dragon. Just stand next to the dead dragon and try it, maybe the dragon's soul will fly into your body automatically. ”

"Dragonborn?"

"Dragons have divinity. The divinity does not die out from this world, so dragons cannot truly die. Its power doesn't dissipate, it can only be absorbed by another dragon or dragonborn, and of course I'm not sure if you're a real dragonborn. But you, thinking about the distribution of loot before things settled? ”

Dragonborn, another strange new term. Let's put these details aside for now, I'm interested on the other side.

"Is it easy to slay a dragon?"

"It depends on what kind of squad you field. The dragon that appeared near Snowman City didn't sound like a powerful breed, and if the Snowman Lord invited his magic advisors to go with the elves of the territory to encircle and suppress it, there shouldn't be much change in the case of paying some casualties. ”

"If I go and see, it won't be any danger, right?"

"It's a waste just to see, you should join their team. Absorbing the soul of a dragon will do you a lot of good. ”

"So what exactly should I do?"

"After the war, you just stand aside and fight soy sauce, as long as you don't get too close, there will be no danger, and you are not the only one facing the dragon. But dragons are too dangerous for you, so don't be stupid even if you can't collect dragon souls. ”

"Thank you for your concern, I will protect my own safety."

Maybe just like the WOW dungeon, as long as there are still people who can pose a threat to the dragon, the dragon won't care about me who is weak in the distance. As for whether the army that slays the dragon will be wiped out...... Uncle Musk has said it, there can't be much variable, I trust his judgment.

"And when are we going?"

"I still want to stay in this quiet place for the time being. Didn't you say that Lord Snowman was gathering men? You ride to Snowy City first, book me a room early, I don't want to lie on the wine table every night, the bad smell of those drunkards will interfere with my research a lot. ”

Well, the horses that the Blacksmith of Brookwood sent me came in handy.

……

After the night, I woke up early, washed up, took my luggage downstairs, and walked straight to the front desk.

When the shopkeeper saw me coming, he pointed to a blonde lady beside him who looked to be in her forties and had a somewhat pale complexion, and said to me, "This is the innkeeper, if you have any problems in the future, you can find her, and I will go out to buy a new batch of ales for the hotel." ”

I told them that I was going to Snow Man City today to answer the lord's dragon slaying order to see if I could participate in the dragon slayer.

"Recently a lot of people have tried to participate in this so-called dragon slaying team. Quite a few people are accustomed to reading knight novels and have the illusion that they can kill dragons and become famous in the sky. The light armor on your body is nice, but it's not suitable for you. With that, the boss released his right hand from the broom, patted me on the shoulder, and looked me up and down, as if he was worried about my body.

“…… I hope you also have some special abilities that can subvert my perception. I have two things to remind you, one, if you don't have any special means, no one will be willing to accept you into the dragon slaying team. Second, although the dragon slayer hero sounds glamorous, the enjoyment of life is the most important thing. ”

The aunt's disdainful tone made me very unhappy, but it was undeniable that everything was on the point and very helpful to me, and I still expressed my gratitude and recognition to her suggestion. If it weren't for the collection of dragon souls and the spectacle of dragon slaying, I would have thought the same as her.

I said goodbye to the two of them, and by the way I told Swan, who was in a blacksmith shop and a grocery store, and talked to Fayndal on the other side of the watermill, and then rode on the white horse I had been given, and headed for the snowy city.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Snowy City sounds like a very cold city, and I even plan to buy an extra warm dress at Swan.

Swann smiled and told me a story that had been circulated at the troubadours academy. When the lord of Xueman built the city, the warriors under his command had three white horses, and they looked white and full of momentum when they marched. At that time, the lord of Snowman named the city "The White Tide" in Old German, as a way to show off the elite of the cavalry under the lord's command.

Later, as time passed, the white horse passed by, and the lord also responded to Songard's call, and this past disappeared in the long river of time and people's memories. The "White Tide" refers to something that has long since disappeared from the white horse to the common snow in the sky, and the city has changed from the White Horse City to the snow-filled city, and the only trace left is the horse head pattern on the city emblem.

As I rode along, I looked at the city crest painted on the shields of the soldiers patrolling in the snow, and I couldn't help but think of these years of burning passion. Countless brave Nord warriors, riding their handsome and sturdy white horses, galloped through the sky like a surging white tide. Just thinking about this cinematic grandeur makes my heart full of pride and blood. I stored up the power of the dragon's roar in my chest and sang loudly.

……

"Drinking for our youth, the years of conquest run all the way!"

"Cast out the Stormcloak to find oneself and protect your family with blood and armor."

"Oufrik, sinner of king-killing sinners, wine and songs will not visit your lonely grave!"

"We are the people of Skyrim, born to be indomitable warriors."

"We have been summoned by Songard to die as immortal souls!"

"This is our land, holy and innocent!"

"Regain your dreams and hopes, and fight for yourself!"

……

From Swan, I learned this song "The Good Years." Although I am just a wanderer from another world, this song awakens some emotions that should not exist in me.

The sun and the moon rise, and the wind is light and light.

One man and one horse, gradually drifting away.
