Xueman City, located in the middle of Tianji Province, compared with the four parts of the east, west, north and south, here has rich land resources, pleasant and livable climate, and is a rare rich city in Tianji except for the capital Dugu City.

Because of this, Snowman has a large number of strong soldiers and excellent equipment to remain neutral in the battle between the Imperial Army and the Storm Cloak.

In the early morning, after the four of them crossed the mountains, their eyes suddenly opened up, the sunset reflected the whole cloudy sky, and the vast plain was full of farmland, pastures full of cattle and sheep, and houses shuttling between adults and children.

In the middle of the plain was the destination of their journey, a snow-filled city with a majestic majesty in peace.

Looking beyond the gray walls, which are four or five meters high, you can see many half-timbered houses and wide streets in the city, pushing from south to north, and as the terrain rises, the houses gradually become refined, until the northernmost part of the city, where it rises abruptly above the surrounding area, and above it is a quaint castle.

The castle that stands tall above is the Longxiao Palace, which is where the city lord's mansion is located, and it is also the place where Xueman's management decision-makers work. The castle is made of stone structure, wood as wings, and dotted with many green climbing plants.

Walking in the peaceful countryside, it was easy to find the Xueman soldiers who were patrolling, and the four of them expressed their intentions, and the captain of the patrol sent someone to take them to the city in a carriage after a little inquiry.

On the carriage, the three adventurers saw that Saipu, who was seriously injured, and snored directly, so they chatted quietly.

"Just go in and hand in the task? I always feel a little sloppy. The old cannon touched his head, and a smile appeared on his tired face, but there was some doubt between his brows and words.

"Otherwise, what else do you want, we will choke enough along the way." Begonia is overjoyed, and feels that it will be safe here, and it will be possible to return to the adventure space when the main quest of the report is completed.

"It's almost easy to finish early, it's almost there." Ling Chen knew that the old cannon meant that he was about to complete the main mission, and he was worried that something would happen again. But in fact, he doesn't know the bottom of his heart, everyone is adventurous for the first time and has no experience.

Then, the old cannon moved his lips again at the early hours of the morning, and said in a very small voice: "Side mission? ”

Ling Chen just shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't speak. Open the taskbar:

[Main Quest: Inform the Lord of Snow Man City about what happened in Helgen - Complete +30 Rating + 2000 Gold - No Penalty for Failure]

[Once the main quest is completed, you can return to the adventure space, or choose a time where you can stay for up to 12 hours, and you must return when the time comes.] 】

[Side Quest 6 - Long Live Taros: Find the Heroic Spirit of the Ancient Dragonborn and complete his quest.] - Complete +50 Rating + 5000 Gold + Silver Badge *3 - No penalty for failure]

After checking the status of the mission in the early morning, his brows furrowed, if the three of them successfully completed the main quest after entering the city, then they could stay for up to 12 hours in addition to returning immediately, and there was very little they could do in this time.

Look at the side quests, branch 1 can be completed no problem, if you are lucky to find a tomb with ghouls, then branch 2 can also work hard, but to be honest, the gains outweigh the losses, the reward of branch 2 is only 800 gold coins and a novice title, it is not worth it at all for everyone to go out to find the tomb, and desperately earn that 800 gold after the end.

So obviously, if Side 1 is an hors d'oeuvres, then Branch 2 should just be an addition to Branch 5's quest to retrieve Dragonstone, including Branch 3 Dragonroar, because according to the game's story, Dragonstone exists in a tomb with ghouls and dragon roar engraved on it.

If you look at it this way, after they enter the city, they may trigger the task of finding the dragon stone according to the development of the game's plot, which is different from the task released by the main god, which is a task issued by the plot character, and after completion, you can also get a benefit from the plot character.

What if you went directly to the vicinity of Ximu Town to find that ancient tomb at that time? If I'm not mistaken, there is also a golden dragon claw in the ancient tomb, which is the grocery store owner's belongings, and there must be a lot of benefits to returning it.

Well, but also, if the three of them had gone to the ancient tomb early, it would have been cold now. Okay, that's it, let's take a step at a time.

After thinking about it, their carriage had already arrived at the south gate of Xueman City, and the soldiers who drove the carriage directly entered the city after communicating with the soldiers defending the city, and went straight to Longxiao Palace along the main road in the middle. Usually, it is strictly forbidden to drive or even ride horses in the city, so the residents have avoided the attention of the people who saw this battle.

In this way, the four of them took a carriage all the way to the Dragon Night Palace in a high-profile manner. The terrain of the palace is indeed much higher than the other buildings in the inner city, and there is a flowing river on the outside of the castle, which can only be accessed by a high staircase.

As soon as they got out of the car, someone took them inside, and the castle was very large, full of patrolling soldiers, serving servants, and officials who assisted the city lord in managing the snowman. After going around and around, the four of them were taken to a room, which seemed to be a small conference room, and there was only a long stone table and 8 stone benches on the ground in the empty room, and the 7 people sitting at the stone table at this time should be the top management of Snow Man City.

Of the seven people seated, 3 on the left and 4 on the right, the first black-bearded old man on the left wearing a purple robe, said as soon as he saw them:

"Welcome home, my suffering children, and although sometimes the reality is so cruel, I believe that you are the strongest. Now, if you may, please tell us more about the dragon that burned down our home. Well, a dragon? I can't believe it. ”

Apparently, they had been told what had happened in Helgen, but they weren't sure for it.

Among the four, you look at me and I look at you, and finally Saipu stepped forward, his face was still a little pale, and he said after adjusting his bloody clothes: "Your Excellency Venerable Mage, I think you have to believe that I, a vagabond, and the three 'remnants' of Helgen, can assure you with our lives that we have all seen that dragon with our own eyes. The huge black body, the wings that obscured the sky, and the flames that burned everything, I don't think I will ever forget it in my life. ”

"Is it really a dragon, to be honest, I still don't believe it."

"Who's to say it's not, it's like waking up in the morning when the yellow-faced woman who fell asleep next to her became a beautiful 18-year-old girl, well, maybe it's more realistic to become a pretty girl, but you say dragons ......"

"Ha, when these words reach the ears of your yellow-faced woman, you will believe that the dragon has indeed been born."

"It must be true that so many people see it......"

“……”

Listening to Saipu's words, the people sitting opened their mouths one after another, with different expressions, only the old man in the robe who had just asked frowned and a female dark elf sitting on the right was coldly silent.

"Also, my lords, some of the residents of Ximu Town have also witnessed the dragon flying through the sky, and some of them are now very panicked, so I ask you to send more troops to Ximu Town." This time it was the early hours of the morning that spoke, and it was appropriate to express a sense of presence.

"Yes." Only then did Sepp remember that Goldo of Brookwood Town had asked him to come for this, "The people of Brookwood Town have specially asked me to ask the city lord to send some elite soldiers over this time to guard against the dragon Alduin. ”

"Alduin the Dragon!?" The old man in the robe suddenly had a light in his eyes, and his tall and thin body exuded a compelling momentum, "How do you know that the dragon's name is Alduin?" ”

Even the grim dark elf raised its head with a solemn expression.

"Hmm." "It seems that he called himself, he was above my head, and his mouth was the wind howling, the lightning and thunder, so I couldn't make out what he was saying, but I was sure that his name should be Alduin, because I could tell his arrogance in those three words." ”

"Can you understand the dragon language?!" The old man in the robe stood up in surprise.

"Huh?" Saipu also seemed taken aback, "Perhaps, if what he said and I seemed to be able to understand was in dragon language, then it would be." ”

"......," the old man stared at Saipu for a long time before he calmed down and sat down.

Seeing this, Ling Chen knew that the identity of the cypsaur might be exposed.

"Alright." At this time, the female dark elf, who had been silent, saw that those people were still verbose, and spoke. She first glanced at Begonia, then at Saipu, and then continued: "The matter of sending soldiers to Ximu Town will wait until the morning after tomorrow, and it will be decided by the city lord after he comes out, you can stay here for the next two days, of course, if you are interested......"

As she spoke, the female dark elf looked at the old man in the robe and hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Fa Renjia, don't you want to look for the dragon stone, why don't you let him try it." ”

The old man in the robe, Fa Renjia, listened to the words of the female dark elf, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then nodded: "Well, at this time, you can only believe in the prophecy." ”

"It's just that the city lord is not here at this time, really."

"It's also a coincidence, there are more than 300 days a year, and it's okay sooner or later, but something happens at this time."

"There's no way, that matter is very important, the city lord must preside over it in person, and he can't be disturbed."

"The city lord will come out tomorrow night, what's the hurry, don't you have any patience?"

“……”

The Elder Scrolls prophesied: Brothers at war, black wings spread, and chaos in the world. Alduin, scourge of kings, ancient shadows, devouring the earth and sinking. - Dragonborn Song

"The only one who can defeat Alduin is the Dragonborn who has disappeared for a long time......"

Then they were led down to wash and eat, and a room was arranged for each of them to live.

While eating, Ling Chen's mind kept thinking about the content of those people's chats just now, and some information was revealed in their words:

They said that the lord of the city was not there, and that he would not be able to deal with the affairs until the morning after tomorrow, or until tomorrow night...... Come out, yes "come out", not "come back", and the castle lord seems to be doing something and can't be disturbed, that affirmative tone is as if the castle lord is sleeping, but it is very strange to sleep until tomorrow night.

What could be more important than the destruction of the world by a dragon? Are you sure? And there is no such thing in the original plot of the game, in the game, the protagonist can directly meet the city lord, and then trigger the task of finding the dragon stone...... What the hell is this snowy city lord doing?

Wait, is this related to that inexplicable mission in Branch 6?

【Side Quest 6 - Long Live Talos: Find the Heroic Spirit of the Ancient Dragonborn and complete his quest】Ancient? Heroic Spirits? His mission?

Could it be that the city lord is dealing with the affairs of the ancient dragonborn heroic spirits, so he can't get out?! After all, the matter of the Ancient Dragonborn is indeed weighty enough, then, if it was, it is likely that the matter will happen in Snowman City, so they use "come out" instead of "come back......

Just as he was using his brain in the early hours of the morning, Farenga came to the place where the four of them were eating with a quaint scroll, and as he had guessed before the early hours of the morning, he also brought the task of finding the dragonstone.
