Chapter 47: The Return of the Dragonborn
The trees and grass stood alone, the stones and sand were bare, the desolate bald mountains shivered in the wind, the shadows of birds were not visible in the air, and the clouds were iron-gray.
With the fall of the dragon, the sky has also returned to its original clarity, the blue sky, spotless, crystal transparent, clouds of clouds, reflected on the clear water; The microwave of fish scales and the turquoise river add the color of floating clouds, which is extraordinarily gorgeous.
The man standing proudly on the back of the dragon between heaven and earth became the focus of all the eyes, and the domineering spirit of the king was unobstructed.
The dragon's life has come to an end. Its left flank had completely lost its strength, and it hung empty, dragging a long trail of blood on the ground.
A terrifying-looking shock wave pierced through the dragon's blood-stained body, accompanied by an exaggerated deformation of the neck.
Strange notes echoed in the air, and after the first shock wave of "Fus", the dragon's body began to burn, radiating a dazzling light. A mist of light visible to the naked eye poured into Garuda's body.
βdovahkiinοΌ nidοΌοΌ β
This is the language of the dragon.
Duwakin, Dragonborn. It's a word that anyone who knows the game will know that the Dragonborn are back.
The dragon's skin and scales began to degenerate, turning into a golden light visible to the naked eye, which began to pour into Garuda's body frantically, and the travelers all looked at this miraculous scene in front of them with complex hearts, and they all knew that it was the dragon soul absorbing it.
They all knew very well what Duwak represented just now, but Garuda had proved with his strength that only he was worthy of the title.
"Did you notice just now? Something ran from the dragon into his body......"
"I saw it too, but what could be on the dragon's body to escape? Could it be that he is a dragonborn? β
Two guards who had narrowly escaped death looked at the scene in front of them, and one of them seemed to have heard a little about the situation.
"Impossible, how could a legendary figure like the Dragonborn appear in front of us? What's more, he's a Brighton. β
Apparently those who opened their doubts belonged to the Nord camp. There may be an instinctive rejection of the possibility that Brightons will become Dragonborn.
"At least we saw him slay dragons with our own eyes, didn't we, what better proof of this!"
"I haven't heard this story in Cellodiel."
"The hero who unified the continent of Tamriel back then, you imperial people call him Taber? Septin the Great, our Talos, is a Dragonborn. β
"I've never heard of Tabor? Septin has slain dragons. β
"Don't talk nonsense with you. A lonely and unheard of empire. The Dragonborn can kill dragons and take their power, he must be the Dragonborn! β
The guards gathered around Ireles began to argue, mostly divided into two factions, one of which was supporters and the other was opposed.
β¦β¦
"Enough! Keep your mouth shut! Irelis stopped the chatter.
"I don't need any mythical dragonborn, it's enough for me to get rid of this dragon. I've traveled all over Tamriel and seen many inexplicable things, but none of them are worth the fuss about.
Now, according to the original plan. Go back and report to the lord.
A few of your squads take care of the battlefield, including the pile of keels. It's up to the lord to decide! β
Irelais's identity is a dark elf, and in her eyes, myths like the Dragonborn are only hearsay, so she doesn't care too much.
As a qualified and loyal squire, if Lord Barruf needs her to kill the Dragonborn, then she will be equally undaunted, and her psychology is only loyal to the command of loyalty, as for the Dragonborn. It doesn't matter what he's doing so much, the important thing is that the dragon is dead.
The humans of Snowman City are no longer threatened by dragons. The sky was clear again, and the white clouds were still flying freely in the sky, and the dragon had turned into a pile of keels, huge as a hill, but apparently dead.
It is enough to know this, the mission of Barlouf has been well fulfilled. Others, that wasn't on her radar.
But she still politely expressed her respect to Garuda, although the loss this time was not small, but Garuda's toughness was something that everyone had just seen, maybe it could be said. It was he who single-handedly completed this difficult task of slaying the dragon and saved Xue Man from danger.
"I think this great warrior should return to Xueman with me to meet the lord, and for your generosity and bravery, I can assure you that the lord will be very pleased with your arrival."
A polite invitation was necessary, and as the personal guard of the Lord of Snowman, Ireles knew the importance of etiquette very well, especially in the context of the intensifying war between the Empire and the Storm Cloak, and a strong foreign aid was willing to be accepted by anyone, and Garuda clearly had such strength.
At the very least, they won't do the kind of stupid thing that would push the other side into the camp of hostile forces.
"Thank you and the lord for your kindness, but I still have to say sorry, I was very concerned about the thing they just mentioned about the dragonborn, I feel that something is calling me, oh, please forgive me for my stubbornness, and pass on my reasons to Lord Barruf, of course I have no disrespect.
I believe that as long as there is fate, I will definitely have the opportunity to meet him in the future, and I have heard of the great name of the great man, and I am also full of respect. β
Garuda rejected Irelas's kindness with a smile on his face, of course, there was naturally an element of shirk, but it would not cause others to feel bad, and he would even feel that he knew how to advance and retreat, and was not arrogant.
A person who is powerful but knows how to be humble will make anyone easily feel good, and Ireles is naturally no exception, and Garuda's words at least prove that his attitude towards Xueman is still friendly.
Under this premise, Ireles has nothing to worry about.
"It's not my fault that we can slay the dragon here, so I have a reluctant request, I hope that the Ireles guards will help convey it to the Lord of Barruf."
Garuda paused, after getting Assurances from Irelis. Scanning his gaze over the field, the people who collided with his eyes unconsciously straightened their waists, for the name of the strongest Bajue First person, it was a great honor to look at such a person.
"I hope that the Lord of Barruf will be kind to these dead warriors, after all, there is no defense they have with their lives. Today's victory is by no means so simple, and those who survive, whether they are outsiders or snowy natives, have also responded to the call of the lord, so I hope that the lord will not chill the warriors.
In the future, there will definitely be a lot of strong people gathered around him, and even if I am Garuda alone, Xue Man will definitely be safe and sound. And these friends of mine will also stay in Xueman, and work with the Lord of Barruf to defend against foreign enemies.
I hope that the lord will be able to look at the thin face that I once helped Xue Man and treat my brothers well. β
Garuda's words were so beautiful that no one took credit for it, which not only won the respect and courtesy of the Snow Man Guards, but also the travelers had a strong affection for him.
In the cruel world of the Apostles, the person with the strongest name is still so low-key, which may only be done by the strongest king. Only such a person seems to be worthy of such a title.
For Garuda such words. Irelais naturally agreed very happily, the strength of his companions was also seen very clearly by Irelais just now, as long as he reported to the lord truthfully, then he believed that Barruf was by no means a stupid fool.
Moreover, she knew a lot about the lord she was loyal to, so she immediately agreed to this matter.
"This guy isn't very annoying."
The position of Wei Dongxu and the others was not far away. But Garuda's words were heard very clearly, and there was no half of arrogance in his words, which seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with the strength of his first strongest, and at the same time, it was difficult to give people a feeling of disgust.
"Brother Wei, don't look at people on the surface. I think the more he does that, the more dangerous it becomes, and you noticed the people around him, and if we want to win this game, I'm afraid we're going to end up fighting those people. β
Tan Xiaofan has matured a lot, and he already has his own judgment for the beautiful words on the surface, and he will not shake the fundamental judgment because of a few words from the other party, although Wei Dongxu will not either, but this guy's way of thinking is different from others.
Tan Xiaofan's expression was solemn, and the one who had just shot was obviously the two masters of the Thirteen Halls of the Garuda Guild, one was a card, and the other should be a fast knife.
There is only one title of the strongest king, if you want to win the final victory, then you will inevitably collide with Garuda's team, if according to Lin Xiu's duel in Garuda, king against king, soldier against soldier, they will naturally have to face those strong people in the thirteen halls.
Although Garuda also looked at Wei Dongxu and Tan Xiaofan in the distance from the corner of his eye, he didn't care much, according to his strength, as long as the other party was not above the Eight Jue or the Clown King, it was obviously difficult for him to be interested.
"Garuda Traveler, complete the dragon slaying quest, reward 5,000 mission points, reward three dragon souls, and activate three dragon roar skills.
Complete the dragon slaying task, reward the opening of the Thortham Dragonborn branch, reward the number of dragon bones and dragon scales, and can synthesize the artifact dragon scale armor, which is currently insufficient and cannot be completed. β
Garuda's mind heard the apostle's rewarding voice, Sotham had started according to his calculations, everything was expected, although he was a little happy mentally, but on the surface he was unmoved.
"Hey, the apostle really slammed the door and gave us 500 points? This is to pass the meal. β
Wei Dongxu and Tan Xiaofan's words also came to their minds, rewarding 500 points, which obviously made both of them a little dissatisfied, Wei Dongxu was even more outspoken, you must know that they also made a lot of efforts.
But the two of them just complained and complained, and they also knew that the person who actually completed this dragon slaying task was Garuda, and unconsciously, both of them compared each other's strength with Lin Xiu psychologically.
I don't know that the two of them, even the other surviving travelers, have more or less received the points rewarded by the apostles, some rejoiced, and some complained loudly about the apostles' injustice, and they only got a little points after putting in so much effort. Apparently this has thrown them out of balance.
But no matter how much they complained, the apostle could not change his decision, and at this moment, a gorgeous scenery wafted by with a faint fragrance, attracting everyone's attention.
"What a beautiful woman."
Someone couldn't help but sigh, obviously. This gorgeous landscape does not refer to a landscape painting, but to describe the beauty of a woman.
The sexy figure is wrapped in armor, but it does not affect the beauty of the lines, but the outline is more seductive, with a light smile on the face, as if those eyes have attracted everyone's soul.
"Shut up, that's the woman you dare to think, idiot, that's the actual leader of the Thirteen Halls of Garuda. Haven't you heard the name of the ghost and the enchantress? β
For these words, even if she hears the ghost and the enchantress, she should turn a deaf ear, and there will always be only one man in her eyes, the best man in her eyes.
"Is the Enchantress here too? Let's put aside the matter over there in Dugu City, I also regret the death of Suo, this revenge cannot be avenged, but now is not the time, I have to go to Southam. When I get back, it's the end of the game.
The rest of the Skyrim War is entrusted to you. Remember, you can't win or lose, and Adolf will take care of the rest, and Uffric's head will be left to him.
There are a few more things I have thought about for a while, after this dragon slaying incident, you should all be reused by Lord Xueman. The three of you can stay here, let the matter over there in Dugu City be put aside for a while, and let the remaining few people pay attention to protecting the incompetent emperor.
As for the possibility of the Clown King, I've thought about that, but even if it was possible that he did it. Then his purpose should be the route of the Dawn Guard, but this is not too worrying, there is a restless vampire Ryan over there, let them play dog-eat-dog first, and it is enough to intervene if necessary.
By the way, you said that it was a woman who gave us Dragonstone, and this woman actually changed the identity of a baron? Called Lin Qianqian? Oh, that's interesting, help me keep an eye on her. β
In one breath, Garuda has already said all the layout after he left, he believes that as long as there is a demon queen, then everything will not deviate too much, and in the thirteen halls, there are two strongest people with cards and fast knives left here, and I believe that there will not be any big deviation in the future.
Although he was a little jealous of Garuda for letting him pay attention to a woman, his order could not be disobeyed, and the two had no substantive relationship, which was completely unrequited, so the ghost and enchantress could only respectfully agree.
"I know what to do next, just go to Southam with peace of mind, and when your mission is completed, it will be time for our Jedi to strike back.
But there is one more thing, and I think I have to tell you, that I just got the news that the Clown King appeared at the peak of Hosga, and then in full view, he actually jumped off the peak of Hosga. β
There was an indescribable flavor in the words of the ghost and the enchantress, and even Garuda was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the name of the Clown King, even the attention of the cards and the quick knife was attracted.
Jumping off a cliff? Crazy? Although it is said that the person who took the killing order once thought that there was something abnormal in the brain, but the next move of the other party was obviously not a maniac's practice.
But when the strength has just opened 20%, even Garuda doesn't dare to jump down from the highest peak in the world, so don't think about it, it's definitely a certain death.
"Hahaha, hahahaha. This Clown King is really interesting, no, I should say maybe there are some interesting companions. β
Garuda was stunned for a moment, and then began to laugh heartily, as if he had guessed something incredible, but his judgment was clearly stated in his words, and the Clown King was obviously not real.
"Although it is not clear what the purpose of the other party is doing this, we must always pay attention to it after putting in such a big effort.
As for the rest, let's leave it alone for the time being, let's see if any idiots are willing to fall for it, and everything will remain unchanged according to the original plan. β
Now that Garuda has known about this matter and made a decision, the rest of them only need to carry it out, and the rest do not need to be considered.
The deployment was complete, and Garuda did not linger here any longer, and began to make his way to the port near Windhelm, which was the only way to get to Southam.
Moving back a few hours, Horsgar Peak is home to Graybeard, and anyone who knows the game is well aware that there are several dragon roar ciphers to be learned there.
But C.C. and Tifa knew about this game because they knew about it, and Lin Xiu had already read the ciphertext that was supposed to appear in the Hosgar Peak in advance, and both of them knew that maybe the current Hosgar Peak had become an empty shell.
As an important NPC in the game, Graybeard has obviously been deliberately disrupted by the Apostles and scattered around the world.
But according to C.C.'s decision, the two still went to the Hosga Peak, no, in fact, only C.C. rushed up alone, and Tifa chose to pick up the small village under the Hosga Peak.
The Heights of Hosga are not very lonely, and there are travelers competing with each other almost every day to win the favor of Graybeard.
And with the arrival of C.C. as the Clown King, it's even more boiling.
In the continuous battle, the camp was surprisingly unanimous, and collectively aimed the spearhead at the Clown King, and was finally surrounded and suppressed on the peak of Hosgar Mountain, and the desperate Clown King jumped off the cliff.
That's exciting news, isn't it?
At the same time, the best newcomer to the Dark Brotherhood's various assassination missions, Poison Island Tsuneko, is also aiming at another target in the small village at the foot of the Hosgar Peak.
Oh, and the village is called Iwasted. (To be continued......)
