Chapter 32: Joining the Brothers-in-Arms for the First Time
Pushing open the door, the atmosphere suddenly became different.
Not far from the door is the quiet Golden Tree Square, and inside the door is the noisy honey wine hall.
A man and a woman are fighting in a clearing, one is a topless male dark elf, and the other is a Nord woman wearing a leather helmet. In addition, there was a group of warriors who surrounded them to drink and watch, pointing and talking and laughing.
There are no fancy tricks, just real punches and blocks, and every impact makes a dull sound. The two of them went back and forth until the Dark Elf was distracted by a punch. The Nord woman took advantage of the victory to chase after her, followed by another series of hooks that completely knocked the dark elves to the ground.
The crowd erupted in cheers and then dispersed. The Dark Elf sat on the ground and rubbed his cheeks and made a "count you awesome" gesture. The Nord woman took a piece of meat and a jug of wine from the table and sat down on a nearby bench to enjoy it.
The victory should have put her in a good mood, so I walked up to her and asked, "Hello, ma'am." How can I meet Krako Whitemane? ”
"You swaggered in like this, and then you wanted to find our boss?"
I am used to hearing this tone, and I will not be shaken by it, and continue to express my intention, "I have come to thank him for his love at the western guard tower before. ”
The woman in front of the "Western Watchtower ......" looked up at me, as if recognizing my identity, "It turned out to be you." Krako has been talking about you a lot lately, and I don't know what kind of skills you have that make him care so much. He's down there, go find him yourself. ”
It turns out that there is still living space underground. I looked around trying to find my way down, and at the same time I saw an acquaintance I could talk to, who was Virgina Greymane, whom I had just met on the Sky Forge forge. Uncle Virgina noticed that I was greeting him, and motioned for his henchman to take me to his room in the hall.
"Are you also a member of the Brothers-in-Arms?" I asked the attendant.
"No, I'm just helping Virgina. Virgina helped me when I was in trouble, and he was well known in the snowman. So I've been following him all these years. ”
……
This is the only room in the entire meadic hall, and it has all the facilities inside, and it looks much better than that of the Greymane Mansion. Coupled with the fact that he has his own servants, Virgina Greymane should have a high status in the Brothers-in-Arms.
"You've lived here all these years? I didn't see you last time I visited the Greymane House, and I thought you would be more inclined to join the Stormcloak. ”
"If I had been younger, I would have done that. It's just that at my age, I find that I only remember what I did in the past, and I don't remember what the meaning of these things is. So I distanced myself from my family and joined the Brothers-in-Arms, a place where I could do a lot of things without caring about the outcome - I trusted Krako more than myself. ”
……
As Virgina said, he's done a lot in the past. Whether it is war or adventure, it is thrilling or fascinating under his reminiscences. Compared with the family, which is based on industry, the Greymane do have superior capital, and Offred Warmane also admitted that Virgina Greymane is a group of people who are respected by the people. Thinking of this, I asked him about the two families by the way.
"We have an old saying – Greymane lives in Snowy City when the first snow falls in Skyrim. This may not be true, but our family has a long and proud history in Snowman, dating back to the days of Isgrader's Brothers-in-Arms. War Maniacs and we are two of the oldest and most respected tribes in the city, and our relationship was once iron, but that was a long time ago, and old friends are best enemies. ”
"What was it that caused you to go your separate ways? Is it because of the Storm Cloak? ”
"Our feud has always existed, and the uprising of Stormcloak has exacerbated it all. Dating back to earlier times, the war madness made many friends with the nobles of the empire and made a fortune by farming and animal husbandry. When they got rich, they slowly began to think that we, who were simply backward, were not worthy of them, and completely fell to the side of the empire. ”
……
"Then again, how did you come up with the idea of coming to the Brothers-in-Arms? If it's a task, I can help you. ”
I told him some of the conversations I had with Erlund.
"They're all good fighters, and I can trust my life to any member of the Brotherhood, but that's just for a fighter. It is unheard of for a pure scholar to mingle with his comrades. ”
---------------------------------------------------------
I followed Virgina's instructions to the basement level of the Honey Hall.
A very large curved corridor leads to the end of the view, where is the room of Craco Whitemane. There were small doors open on the side of the wall, leading to the dormitories of the soldiers of the Brothers-in-Arms.
In addition, the carpet is neatly arranged on both sides of the furniture, tables and chairs, and it looks like you can sit next to it at any time, read a book or take a nap.
"Please come in."
This is a study-style room. Two people sat at the round table in the corner and watched my arrival. A warrior who looked to be in his early thirties and was wearing armor, his appearance was similar to that of Farkass, and he even had the same dark circles under his eyes. The other elder was older, and judging by his white hair, he was probably the advisor to the Brothers-in-Arms, the pioneer Krako Whitemane.
"A soul full of power, just as I did when I first met you. I'm Krako Whitemane, and now that you've found this place, I think I've seen what you're here for. Krako turned his gaze to the man beside him, "This is Wilcas. Farkas's younger brother. ”
"Hello, have we met before?"
"Your roar at the Western Tower is remarkable, and I've seen it all."
"Uh...... First of all, I would like to thank my comrades-in-arms for creating this opportunity for me. I would like to thank you in advance for that. ”
Taking advantage of my bow, Wilcas handed Krako the quiet words, but they were still heard in my ears.
"He's the one who killed the dragon? It doesn't look like it's very capable of fighting. ”
Krako ignored him and continued, "The last time I checked, I found that there were still a few empty slots in the moon vaskar that could be offered to those who were full of enthusiasm. ”
Listening to Krako's tone, why does it sound like you're trying to pull me in? I'm interested in the Brothers-in-Arms, but it's probably too fast.
"Your regiment is very famous in Skyrim Province, I have heard of it for a long time. But as a baron under Lord Barguf, I have not come to visit for this purpose. ”
"Sometimes famous people come to us, sometimes ordinary men and women come to us for fame. It doesn't make a difference anyway, it's their hearts that matter. ”
……
Perhaps because of his status as a Dragonborn or Baron, Krako Whitemane has shown me a great deal of affection. But I still didn't know much about the Brothers-in-Arms, so I politely declined his formal invitation, and only accepted "a few days of life here as an honorary member of the Brothers-in-Arms" - anyway, I don't know how long Uncle Musk will be back.
"Wilkas, it's okay for me to refuse him like that, right?"
I raised my doubts with Wilcas, who arranged for the latter to familiarize me with the environment.
"Krako has been chanting your name all this time, and even Skoyue has become strange - you know, the two of them haven't been together for a long time. Anyway, for me, Krako's acquiescence is not enough, you need to prove that you have what it takes to join the Brothers-in-Arms. ”
I remember a female warrior named Usgad accidentally killing a member of her comrade group while proving her qualifications, which didn't sound very good.
"Do you want me to fight the other warriors? With my size and the guards outside, I may still have a chance, and I don't think I have a chance to win against you. ”
"No, no, no, the comrades-in-arms are not a bunch of reckless men who only know how to fight and kill, at least not me. I am mainly responsible for mediating conflicts between people, and the law of the lord is not covered everywhere, and not all people are satisfied with it...... Well, you can try this. The sissy of the mare banner has been pestering the widow who is setting up a stall in the market, and the last time she beat him didn't seem to have any effect, maybe you will be more good at this. ”
……
---------------------------------------------------------
"Hello Ms. Carrota Valencia, I have been sent to complete your commission."
"That Mikael, he's digging his own grave. It wasn't enough to teach him once, and he had made a lot of nonsense in the mare's banner, saying that he would teach me a lesson like the Nords tamed wild horses......"
"Uh, Anger, that's a testament to your charisma."
"Of course, half of the men in Xueman have proposed to me, and many of them are bachelors. It's a pity that they will never understand, and no amount of flowers and honey can make me change," Carrotta stroked the head of the little Lori beside her, "Now I only care about my daughter Mira, and no one can stand between me and her." ”
……
To be honest, I have a lot of ideas at hand, such as her collusion with the Ancestral Divine Continent or the Storm Cloak, such as that this beautiful widow* has been taken by some unscrupulous baron, or that Mikael would rather get some gold coins, or directly threaten him with her life.
But in the final analysis, this is just a trivial matter, and there is no need to cause rumors, pay too much and hurt the peace.
So I politely and tactfully made my intention to the troubadour in the tavern.
"Dear Baron, did Carrota ask you to come? I'm sorry, but that stubborn widow is already mine, but she doesn't realize it yet. ”
"I have no objection to a man pursuing the lady of his choice, but your methods are not advanced at all in my eyes."
"What does that mean?"
"You said the phrase 'teach her to be obedient as the Nord tame a wild horse', right?"
"Yes, I can also guarantee that this will become a fact."
"Not only that, but you're also in the Snowy City Hitchhiker's Guide. Your high profile and strength will make Carotta think that you are just showing off your pickling abilities among men by pursuing her, rather than really caring, respecting, and caring about her. ”
"Hmm...... It seems that there is such an element, no wonder she has always been very cold to me, but my true feelings for her are definitely not fake. Mikael thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "So you must have any advice for me, right?" ”
"If you just want to show off your ability to pick up girls, I advise you to die as soon as possible. Although Carrota is not very old, these years of independent life have made her only care about practical things, such as the growth of her daughter and the quality of her business. I don't think she'll ever get carried away by any sweet words of love. ”
"Ah, thank you, Lord Baron, for your analysis." Mikael was overjoyed to hear my analysis and immediately shared with me his new conclusion, "I decided to start with her daughter!" ”
"Huh?!"
"I will find a way to win over her daughter, take care of her business by the way, and let her understand that I am not here for 'pickling girls', I really want to live with her!"
"Well, good luck. Take care of the balance, if Carotta asks for help from her comrades again, the next time someone will come neither as easy to talk as I do, nor will I give you a reliable idea. ”
……
I have never had any experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and I don't know what the final outcome of this matter will be. It's just that Mikael's taste is really not flattering, or does it mean that people in this world like to control widows and wives? This made me feel very unaccustomed to coming from the Loliton plane of Earth.
