Chapter 21 Snowy Daily

I woke up very late today because of what happened last night.

Ay...... There is no spirit. I slowly dressed and washed up, planning my next schedule.

Musk doesn't know when Lu Dao will come to Xueman City, and now that I have absorbed the soul of the dragon, it seems that there is nothing serious to do in Xueman. But for reasons that everyone understands, I had to find something to do. It's really unmotivated.

The last planting month, as the name suggests, is the last month of the year to sow seeds, and it is probably August when converted to the calendar on earth, right? Daylight in the here and now removes the chill without making it feel hot.

Leaning on the railing next to the pool, I looked down on the snow-covered city and the Great Plains.

The snow-filled Great Plains are bordered by the Horsgar Mountains to the east and control the main road connecting the eastern and western parts of the province, making it the economic and commercial center of the province. The market was as noisy as ever, and the guards were as lazy as ever. "It's so nice and warm to pour some mead every day," they boasted to me.

Beneath the platform of the Sky Forge Eagle statue, a group of sturdy warriors are practicing their fighting skills at the training ground in Moonwaskar - I'm curious how they can achieve the level of suppressing dragons head-on with this training alone.

Snowman, a city that looks peaceful and peaceful, but is full of life and thriving.

I set my sights on the great plains outside the city. It has to be said that Xueman is a unique place, not only with developed commerce, but also with an abundant food supply. The vast plains and the white river that straddle it provide a superior farming environment and hold up the "pearl of the Northland".

Further afield...... The mountains are stacked and the fog is shrouded, and even if you take out your binoculars, you can't tell what is going on.

Let's just take a walk today, walk around the city, and then walk outside the city, and it's a pleasure to ride a horse on the Great Plains.

……

In the center of the square, leaves kept falling from the golden tree, and a woman dressed in a sacrificial robe sat quietly on a bench under the golden tree.

There is only one temple of scale in the snowy city, which belongs to the Holy Spirit of the air, wind and sky, Gina Les, and the entire Golden Tree Square is an outbuilding of the temple. As for the other Holy Spirits, Talos has only one statue here, and the Hall of the Dead is more focused on the remains. There may also be some temples outside the city dedicated to other holy spirits, but this is not known to me.

"Hello, honorable lady, are you Danica Qingquan, the priest of the Temple of Ginalais?"

"Yes, do you have anything to do?"

"I'm a traveling scholar from Gaoyan, and I'm curious about this tree. Can I ask you about this? ”

"Very gratifying. This is the Golden Tree, which was planted shortly after the completion of the Snow Castle. ”

"As far as I know, Snowman City was built in the era of Isgramer, and this tree has survived until now?"

Isgrammer was a pioneer and pioneer of the Nords, leading them to defeat the elves and gain a foothold in the sky. About three to five hundred years later, the Nord script developed to a level of perfection and began to systematically record history, and the continent of Tamriel entered the First Age.

And now it's the Fourth Age. I don't know if there is a tree on earth that can survive for more than 4,000 years, and I don't know much about the biology of fossils and archaeology.

"The followers of Ginareth can feel some kind of divine power from the ancient sacred tree, when they took a sapling from the mother tree and transplanted it near the Sky Furnace. The furnace also had some connection to the goddess Ginares, so the saplings were able to survive and temples were built for it. For thousands of years, pilgrims have come from afar to listen to the whispering of the goddess from its foliage. Priestess Danica rose from her chair, caressed the golden tree affectionately, and spoke to me in a nostalgic tone about its longevity.

"Its mother tree must be an even greater miracle."

"Ancient Glitter is located in the eastern part of the Snowman's Territory. It is probably the oldest species in the entire Skyrim, or even in the entire continent of Tamriel. If you are a devotee of Ginareth, you can feel the brilliance of the mother tree from this golden tree, as its name suggests, ancient sparkles. ”

"What is the reason why the ancients transplanted the saplings of the mother tree here?"

"The golden tree can fertilize the barren land and bring life to the rocks...... It may be an exaggeration, but the goddess's holy blessings did make it a thriving city. ”

"Praise Gina Les!" To be honest, I like the city of Snow Patch now, and as for the god-like "ancient flash" that is said to be the mark of the gods, I'd love to see it.

"You are full of enthusiasm and curiosity, may the Goddess's breeze guide you forward."

……

The priestess still had a lot of work to do, and she said goodbye to me and returned to the temple, as Andors had mentioned to me, that the civil war in Skyrim and the dragon's attack on the fortress of Helgen had temporarily turned the temple of Ginareth into a hospital.

I continued along the main road towards the lower part of the road. In addition to religious buildings such as temples and altars, there are also various residences in the wind area where the golden tree is located, but I don't know many people in Xueman, and I don't know where they live. After a while, I passed through a small city gate and followed the stream down a stone staircase to the plain area of the snowy city, a lively commercial area.

"Arcadia's cauldron?" The name of this alchemy shop is decent, and I walked into it with the mentality of taking a casual look.

Mikael's guide says that Arcadia is a good companion for an "older gentleman". Arcadia is a bit old, but now that aging hasn't eaten away too much into her looks, it seems that she must have been a young girl with many suitors when she was young.

"Hello, are you an alchemist?" Seeing an alchemy test table on the side of the room, I asked Arcadia.

"Yes. I am also a therapist and have some experience with both common joint petrification and secondary brain injuries. In addition, there are all kinds of alchemy materials for sale, hanging on the ceiling, on the counter, and some in cabinets. What do you need? ”

"Give me some potions to relieve fatigue."

……

"You're an Imperial?" I put the potion away and chatted with the boss while observing the alchemy materials on display in the shop.

"I fled the province of Syrodil to Skyrim during the World War, and after a few years of adaptation and investigation, I chose to settle down in Xueman, and now I have been in Xueman for a full twenty years."

"The war has uprooted a lot of people."

"yes. But I didn't move here to face a new war. Arcadia frowned at this, accentuating her tone, "Curse those damn storm cloaks that rot in the cold winds of the sky!" ”

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

There are quite a lot of varieties of alchemy materials in this world. I took a cursory look, and there were the wings of butterflies and dragonflies, the eggs of poultry and birds, colorful flowers and plants, and colorful and peculiar powders -- the red ones were called fire salts, and the blue ones were called frost salts. There's even something curious, like the toes of giants and trolls...... I don't know exactly what the Giants and Trolls look like, but judging by their toes, it wouldn't be a pleasant thing to come across them.

Then I went to the Beletol grocery store next door. It's just that the manager of the grocery store is from Brighton, which makes me feel a little bit out of place. Contrary to my disobedience, the store manager, Bellator, was pleasantly surprised to see a fellow appear in front of him.

"Ah, I really didn't expect to meet a fellow Gaoyan in Skyrim Province."

"Huh...... It is the joy of life to meet the old people in a foreign land. "I took Musk's advice and always called myself a Brightoner, but today I met a real Brightoner, and maybe I can learn a little bit about Goyan from him.

Bellator walked out of the counter and enthusiastically guided me through the various items in the store: "A little bit of this, a little bit of that, there may be some things you don't like, but in my eyes they are all treasures......"

I don't know how many grocery stores there are in Ludao Xueman, at least as far as this one is concerned, the goods are much more complete than the grocery stores in Ximu Town. Under the explanation of Belletol, I purchased a large number of daily necessities and some miscellaneous items.

"You are such a generous buyer that if I had a sister, I would sell her to you without blinking. Looking at the things you bought, are you going to settle in Snowman? ”

"It's not about settling, it's just about living temporarily. I'm a traveling scholar, and I'll be traveling all over the sky next, and if there is still a chance in the future, I want to see Sailodil and Falling Hammer, but it's a pity that Morrowind is no longer suitable for living. Why did you come to Skyrim? ”

"Great business opportunity, as well as beautiful views and hospitable residents. Now I'm also very interested in dragons and political events. Of course, there's nothing more fascinating about this frozen wasteland than the barrage of boring questions a Brighton person is asked. ”

"Are Brightons popular here?"

"If there is one race that the natives of Skyrim are most curious about, the answer is the Brightons. High Rock Province is a safe corner, not affected by any war, rich in materials, and the climate is much better than Skyrim, a Brighton person is not good to stay in High Rock Province, what is the map of Skyline? It must have been because of something interesting that happened to him, such as being exiled after losing a political struggle. Aside from you and me, most of Brighton's arrivals came to Skyrim for this reason. ”

People mention that the people of Brighton always associate them with things like intrigue and intrigues. I consulted Musk about this, and he told me that due to geographical and historical reasons, the conflicts between the territories of various families are sharp and difficult to unify, so the people there are more adept at using secret means, which seems unusual in the sky, where force is worshipped.

"Aren't the inhabitants of Skyrim curious about other races?"

"The dark elves poured into the sky in large numbers due to volcanic eruptions, and many of the Imperial people came more than twenty years ago. The Redguards are not accustomed to the climate here, they are not sociable, they look fierce, and people do not hide from them, which is already very face-saving. The Tiger People have long left the impression of Scuma hawkers on most people, and people don't want to see them. Argonians and Orcs ...... At least the inhabitants of Snowman have seen them before they can be concluded. As for the elves, beware of interprovincial. ”

"I've met a Wood Elf working in a Nord lumber yard in Brookwood, and there's a Wood Elf tavern in the city, and it seems that they have a good relationship with the local people."

"That's because the elves haven't caused any trouble in Snow City yet. Look at the dark elves of Stormhelm, Ufrik must have a headache for this. ”

……

"Bellore, your goods have arrived."

Belletor stopped talking to me and turned to the young girl who had just walked into the shop: "Okay, Isolda, take care of the shop for me...... Whoever is that, stop chopping wood! Unload with me! ”
