Chapter 19: Snowy City

"I was once a dragon slayer until I was hit by an arrow in the knee."

At the gate of Snowy City, a guard leaned against the city wall, bragging with his colleagues.

"I said, brother, you've said this a hundred times, if you have the ability, you can really slaughter it for us to see!" Although the braggings of colleagues are almost calloused, teasing each other when there is no fun to speak of is a good way to pass the time.

"Hehe, I don't know why, I have to say this every day, otherwise my whole body will be uncomfortable, but if I really call me to slay the dragon, then I can't do it." The bull he bragged about was broken by his colleagues, and this guard was not embarrassed.

"Didn't a hillbilly come yesterday and say that Helgen was attacked by a dragon, dragons haven't appeared in hundreds of years, if this is true, haha, don't you dragon slayer warriors have a chance?"

"Don't be kidding, that guy was blown away by us, ask him what the dragon is not clear about, it looks like he wants to sneak into the city, really, and don't find a reliable excuse."

"Stop talking, someone's coming!"

Zhang Lin noticed the two guards at the gate of Xueman City who were chatting together, this work attitude is really not good.

If someone comes to attack, then everyone will rush to the door to see someone coming, so Zhang Lin thinks that the people who designed the city must not have thought about the possibility of war here.

"Who are you?" The bragging Snow Man guard just now was very curious about this combination of a man, a woman and a child, who would be so heavily armed in an ordinary family, and if you were an adventurer, you would never see a family with a mouth.

"We're coming from Creek Town, and we have something to inform the lord."

Zhang Lin deliberately didn't say anything related to the dragon, because the two of them had a hot conversation just now, and he heard the sentence that the people sent by Goerdo were blown away yesterday.

"It's from Ximu Town again, don't tell me, you also saw the dragon?" The other guard became interested as soon as he heard Zhang Lin's words.

Zhang Lin didn't pay attention to him, but pulled Kexia over and said: "There was an accident in Helgen yesterday morning, and Ufrik, who was captured by the Imperial General, has escaped, and she was in Helgen at that time. ”

Although there was some surprise, Kexia was still very cooperative with Zhang Lin, and some half-truths and half-truths were said along the way, and Kexia used his eloquence skills, which are rarely seen in ordinary times, and quickly persuaded the two guards to put them into the city.

"By the way, does Ulfrick's news have anything to do with us? The lord is neutral, right? ”

"I don't know, but listening to what the woman said seems to have something very important, no matter what, we are guards, just guard the door."

They didn't know what the two guards were talking about, because they had already entered the city.

The Snow City here is not like the small place in the game where there may not be 100 people in total, the whole Snow Man City is built on a small hill on the plain, the style is somewhat similar to the mountain city of the original world, the houses are built in layers, each height represents an area, and the top floor is a tall palace, which is the Dragon Night Palace where the Snow Man Lord is located.

Legend has it that the Nord hero of the First Age, the One-Eyed King Olaf, succeeded to the High Queen, fought a desperate battle with the evil dragon Furyminax, subdued it, and trapped it here, and the city became a prison for the dragon, hence the name of the Dragon Night Palace, and the dragon's skull still hangs in the palace.

But none of this matters, because Zhang Lin knows that there must be more than a dozen named dragons that Kexia will slaughter in the future around him, and those wild dragons don't know how many, that is the real dragon terminator.

Although I have seen it in the game, it is far from being as economically prosperous as it is now, full of vendors and pedestrians, and a different world city with a rugged style brings a strong sense to Zhang Lin.

Little Lori has long been shouting excitedly, running over one stall after another, looking for something she is interested in, and from time to time relying on her cute appearance to bargain with the stall owner, often the stall owner is mostly helpless to sell to her at a price that is not much higher than the cost price.

Kashia went to the blacksmith shop not far from the city gate, because the long sword brought from Helgen had worn out quite a lot from yesterday's battle, and she was not used to the weapons made by the Ghouls, so she decided to sell the loot she and Lori had not finished handling at the grocery store in Ximu Town yesterday, and then get a good weapon.

As a result, in a blink of an eye, only Zhang Lin was left standing alone, which made him a little speechless when he originally wanted to go straight to Longxiao Palace.

Just when Zhang Lin was thinking about whether he would continue to wait here like a fool or find someone to talk to and chat, he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to find him.

"Greymane or Warmane?" A man in the armor of an imperial soldier came up to Zhang Lin.

"Huh?"

"Is there sand in your ears, I ask you which side you are on, Greymane or War Mane?"

"Why do I have to make this choice?" Zhang Lin was a little confused, although he had a certain understanding of the two most historic families in Xueman City when he was playing, but this guy inexplicably let himself support one side as soon as he came up, it was not because of something wrong with his brain.

"New here? In Snowman, the two families are still respected, but now the difference is that Greymane has betrayed the Empire, while Warmane is still serving the Empire, so I ask again, Graymane or Warmania? Which side are you rooting for? The man was talking to himself, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

This guy's dress and tone of voice made him a member of the War Maniac Family nine times out of ten, but this domineering attitude made Zhang Lin really doubt that their respectable statement was a fear of their family heritage or something else.

And in the end, it was a matter of the empire and the storm cloak, so in the end, Zhang Lin chose to ignore the other party, turned around and walked towards the blacksmith shop where Kexia was.

At this time, Kexia just picked out a weapon to take advantage of, and sold those weapons and armor to the other party at a good price, and originally wanted to pick a weapon for Zhang Lin to take advantage of, but when he saw Zhang Lin coming, he pulled him into the store to choose.

To be honest, Zhang Lin basically has no combat skills at all now, and the double flying slash is a throwing skill, and due to the number of hidden weapons on his body, it is still necessary to use a good melee weapon. Yesterday he tried all kinds of weapons in the ancient tomb, and in terms of strength, he definitely couldn't use those big two-handed weapons, so he could only choose light weapons, so he chose two short knives and a hood, and if he wore a hood, he looked more and more like a thief or an assassin.

When the two walked out of the store, the guy who insisted that Zhang Lin choose the Graymane family or the war maniac family also followed him to the blacksmith shop, but at this time, he was being pulled by the female blacksmith to say something.

Seeing Zhang Lin and Kexia coming out, the man from the war maniac family and the female blacksmith came over.

"I forgot to introduce just now, I'm Idorav, I heard Adrian say that you just sold a lot of weapons, which is exactly what we urgently need, it can be regarded as a help from you to the war maniac family, and you are friends of the war maniac family from now on." The self-proclaimed Idolav war maniac clan did not pester Zhang Lin to make a choice anymore, but took it upon himself to classify Zhang Lin as the side that supported them, and turned around and left after speaking, which made Zhang Lin's view of the war maniac family all brains more profound.

"Seriously, this batch of weapons you sold is really timely, Idorav has been urging me to build a large number of weapons for them during this time, and the amount of orders is simply not something I can afford, let him go to Erlund and he won't go, the contradiction between the two families is really hopeless." Adrian, the blacksmith, complained in the words.

At this moment, a soldier of Xueman City, who was covered in injuries, whose helmet did not know where to fall, and whose armor was still burned by flames, ran in from outside the city and went straight to the Dragon Night Palace, the highest part of Xueman City.
