Chapter 22: Creek Town
The expanded map had stretched beyond anyone's imagination, and by the time the first phase of the mission was issued, someone had already begun to carnage at a rapid pace.
Some aim at the Travelers, while others start running out in search of their first quest side.
A group of four people, the white-haired woman neatly tied her hair into a ponytail, a blindfolded man and two other women followed, this team, obviously only four people, but after the first wave of harassment, the other party's team of more than a dozen people was slaughtered in an instant.
Since then, the journey of these four people has never been disturbed, and the name of the second white-haired person has been prohibitive.
"Gao Cheng, according to this first-stage task, which branch do you think we should choose?"
Poison Island Tsuneko, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, at this moment, they had reached the foot of the peak of Hosgar, which was completely opposite to the direction of Ximu Town, the first stage of the task had been released, and now they had to sort out a route suitable for them as soon as possible.
"There are a few directions to choose from."
Saya Takashiro stopped, pinching her chin with one hand, her glasses didn't know where they were thrown, after all, after entering the apostle space, the first thing she did was to fix her myopia.
"I suspect that Xue Man must be everyone's first meeting point now, but who can get the favor of the lord? It must be the one who obtains the dragon stone, but the person who obtains the dragon stone, along the way, will definitely suffer a lot of ambushes, after all, this is the first step to unlock the main line, but this road is obviously not suitable for us. ”
Saya Takashiro calmly analyzed. Others in such moments. It's completely unspeakable. After all, she is the brains of this team.
"The second way, in order to get a higher score, the first thing that comes to mind will be the Skyrim War, but whether it is the Imperial Legion, or the Storm Cloak, or the Tsuko, do you feel that you rely on the four of us. Can it stand still? Moreover, the other few strongest Eight Senses may have already been aimed here. ”
Saya Takajo's guess was very accurate, and Tsunako shook her head negatively after a little thought, although she could quickly get a high score by choosing that path, but she was attached to the other eight senses, which was not what she wanted.
"The rest, that's the four guilds, after all, this is a super large mission second only to the main line, the Thieves Guild. The rewards are the most generous, but the number of people is above. It's our flaws, there's no denying that. ”
Both Tsuneko and Komuro Takashi nodded and admitted that they were indeed very inferior in terms of numbers, and as for Shizuka Jukawa, she didn't know how to worry about these things at all, and was catching butterflies on the side of the road at this time......
"The thieves' guild is excluded, and the remaining mage guild, in terms of the difficulty of the game, I guess the apostle will not let everyone easily join the mage guild, except for me, I'm afraid the three of you will have difficulty entering the mage guild, and the necromancer who ranks fifth is obviously aiming at this place."
Saya Takashiro drew on the ground with a tree branch, and then ruled out the rejected proposals one by one.
"As for the comrades-in-arms, their wolf clan skills are really a bit chicken, the first stage may be useful, but in the second stage, it will be useless, the beast werewolf system is a relatively garbage skill in the apostle space, and it is in Snow Man City, if you want to rely on this to help that person, the effect will not be obvious."
As a few people can guess, after learning about the game at the beginning, they cut out the choice.
"Then the only one left is the Dark Brotherhood, Sister A's subordinates are all killers, and there are not many people, easy to control, the most important thing, use this to help the people you want to help, it's the easiest, after all, the invisible killer group controls, hiding behind the scenes is the best."
When Saya Takashiro said this, Tsukiko Poison Island's eyes were already starting to glow, and it was obvious that she had made a decision.
"Actually, there is another line that is even better, which is the Dragonborn DLC, and I think only those who complete that line will be recognized as Dragonborn.
However, I guess that Garuda guy will definitely choose this line, and the thirteen halls under his command are enough to help him complete the first stage.
If we go, I believe that the conditions of the Dragonborn will be very harsh, and I am afraid that after entering the labyrinth, you will be alone in the face, and at this point, I honestly have little confidence in you.
And I think that the man who has been thinking about it for a long time will probably choose this line too, after all, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. “
Poison Island Tsuneko almost heard the last sentence, and overturned all the previous ones, and asked her and Lin Xiu to grab the task, she would rather choose to die, Poison Island Tsuneko has not hesitated to choose the Dark Brotherhood.
"I knew it would be like this, and it was useless to say it."
Saya Takashiro sighed weakly, she really hoped that Tsunako would take the route of the Dragonborn, after all, in terms of Tsukiko's strength, it was entirely possible to complete it, but unfortunately, this was a seed of infatuation.
"Huh? Are we going to the Dark Brotherhood? That night mother is so terrible. ”
Shizuka Jukawa also came over, and when she heard such a sentence, she was really a little palpitating about the task of hugging the night mother, it was a dry corpse.
"Then it's time for us to change course, I remember that joining the Dark Brotherhood was conditional on completing a child's prayer and killing an old woman in an orphanage.
And that kid seems to be really in Wind Helmet City, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to enter Wind Helmet City now, Garuda and Adolf, according to your analysis, they must have joined forces, if we enter Wind Helmet City, I'm afraid it will be in danger. ”
Poison Island Tsuneko frowned slightly, and said with some concern.
"So, we have to make another choice, let's go straight to Rift City."
Saya Takashiro said confidently, leaving the other three a little confused.
"Quite simply, this is the only known way to join the Brotherhood, and this is a route that is completely unrelated to the main quest, so we just abandon the beginning of the quest. Kill the necessary NPCs directly. As long as it's fast enough.
Stay ahead of the first task trigger. For example, if you kill the old woman directly, then the role of the child is lost.
ruined the plot of the Dark Brotherhood, I don't believe that Sister A will not find us, after all, it was the order of the Night Mother. “
Such a method is tantamount to perverse, but this is the most tricky way, as for how Sister A will treat them. Then you can only take one step at a time, and if you have lost the opportunity, you can only take the shortcut.
"Okay, just do what you say, and I'm quite interested in that Cicero, who wears a clown all day long."
Poison Island Tsunzo obviously has a deeper thought, she is also a clown, if she is allowed to control the Brotherhood, then Cicero will naturally listen to him and let Cicero pretend to be Lin Xiu. Heh, it's going to be a big headache for those people.
The other side. The sky was already bright, Lin Xiu and their way was unhurried, because with the necessities of the task, it was much easier now, so they were not in a hurry, and now their mental state was recovering very well, and some travelers who passed by also avoided them from a distance when they saw them.
Ximu Town soon came into view, and this town, which could have been visited in a few minutes, has been expanded many times.
An avenue runs through the town, constantly breathing fresh life into the town and bringing the town's flavor to the outside world.
There are occasional caravans passing along the road. I also saw a strange caravan of tigermen. The appearance of a tiger man is like cutting off a person's head and replacing it with a tiger head.
Because of this strange appearance, they were ostracized by the Nords and were not allowed to enter the city, but the Tiger people were very good merchants and eloquent, and they often lived on the outer edge of the city walls.
On each side of the road is a row of thatched-roof wooden houses, which are somewhat different from Helgen's style, presumably due to the fact that there is a river next to it, and the houses are supported by underframes to avoid direct contact with the wet ground.
Most of the wooden houses are not clearly marked, and a few have signboards that reach out to the street to indicate their commercial inclination.
The most striking thing is naturally the blacksmith shop that you can see as soon as you enter Ximu Town, next to the house there is a large open space, with leather racks, anvils, and furnaces, and a middle-aged man named Alvo is beating the hammer with his bare muscles.
Behind him, there is a huge watermill, which, judging by the piles of timber and the noisy grinding sound of the small buildings, is a hydro-logging site.
The water wheel is driven by the force of the water flow, and the saw blade is reciprocated through the transmission of gears and rotating shafts.
A man adjusts the position of the wood while pulling the lever, judging by the man's pointed ears and skin color close to nature, this person should be a wandering elf, and in the plot it should be called Farndah.
Lin Xiu gestured to Tan Xiaofan, Tan Xiaofan understood that in the original game, these wandering elves all had good bow and arrow skills, and when playing the game, they could improve their bow and arrow proficiency by five points for free.
Tan Xiaofan just pinched his face and turned into a wood elf, and the two communicated very happily, and soon the man named Fahndal became friends with Tan Xiaofan and taught him some skills in using bows and arrows.
Originally, among the travelers, there were very few people who used bows and arrows, and when the first catacombs were completed yesterday, it should probably be dusk at the earliest, so this Farndal was lucky to be picked up by Lin Xiu.
On the other side there is the "Creek Town Trade Center", which is much more shabby than the blacksmith shop, and it is not worthy of the size of the "Trade Center", but because the map has been enlarged, this trade center has also been expanded a lot.
And the owner of the golden dragon claw is the item of the owner of this trade center, as long as the golden dragon claw is returned to him, he will get five hundred gold coins, walking in this world, the original gold bricks can not be used at all, that is, in this world, they are all a tabula rasa.
And there are rewards for completing side quests, Lin Xiu and Xu Ningning discussed a few words, and then went to the trade center alone.
Xu Ningning and the others went to the tavern, where the head of a strong man sleeping with his eyes closed was painted on the signboard, and the words "Sleeping Giant Hotel" were written crookedly on the side.
If they're looking for news from other travelers, the tavern is the way to go.
In the tombs, they also searched for some ancient Nord coins. They can still afford to go into the tavern.
Skyrim's food has a character that belongs to Skyrim. Zhang Yi looked at the strange food name and immediately became interested.
"Boss. Bring me a three-tusked walrus steak, a mammoth trunk, and two glasses of Nord honey. ”
The wine was naturally asked for by Wei Dongxu, but after the meat steak came up, several people looked at this benevolent brother with a black line on their faces.
In other words, has his stomach been specially processed, looking at the mammoth trunk that looks like a sausage, Liu Yi's psychology began to be Amitabha. Zhang Yi is the only one who eats leisurely and with relish.
Wei Dongxu took a sip of Nord honey wine and almost didn't squirt it out.
"How does this thing taste like fruit beer?"
Obviously, Wei Dongxu was very dissatisfied with this, as a gentleman, he really couldn't agree with the inferior drink of drink and beer, which was something that Lin Xiu could accept.
"Adventurer, if you want to drink the best wine, then the only way to do it is to go to the Black Thorn Winery in Rift City."
A person sitting at a table next to him said kindly, and then he ignored a few people, pointed to the beautiful girl standing next to the wine table and shouted:
"Hey. Kemira, give us a tune to cheer us up. There have been more and more adventurers in the past two days, and yesterday I heard that they were going to slay dragons, ha, there are really more and more crazy people now, so I should bless them, how about the return of the dragonborn? ”
Xu Ningning has been talking to the boss, this is the task of her deputy captain, at first the boss was a little rambling, but under the temptation of a dozen gold coins, he began to talk endlessly.
The girl named Kemira was not shy, picked up the lute in her hand, and sang melodiously.
"Dragonborn, Dragonborn, swear by his glory,
Banish evil forever!
Those brutal enemies will be shattered by the roar of glory,
Dragonborn, we pray for your blessings!
Listen, son of Nord, in antiquity,
Great legends about him!
The hero with the blood of the dragonmen,
It has the power to rival the sun!
On the battlefield of glory, he waved his roar,
When the continent of Tamriel is shattered in the war!
Powerful dragon language, piercing through enemies like a sharp blade,
When the Dragonborn roars!
Scrolls, once prophesied, black wings that appeared in the cold of winter,
When brothers start killing each other!
Odoin, the evil star of kings, the shadow of darkness liberated,
With its delusions that devour heaven and earth! ”
The singing is melodious, without losing the unique flavor of Westerners, and gradually everyone present is a little enthusiastic, even those Nords are also beating the beat.
But at this moment, Lin Xiu's voice suddenly came from the spiritual bridge.
"Ten miles outside the city, converge, there is a situation."
The moment he heard such information, Tifa had already rushed out of the tavern, and on the street, a group of Imperial soldiers were holding weapons and chasing them outside Ximu Town.
Obviously, when it came to Lin Xiu's words, naturally these people were going for him, and Tifa was hesitating whether he should do it, but was stopped by C.C. beside him.
"Let's figure out the situation and then talk about it, according to what he said, ten miles of foreign exchange, rash action, it is not good for us, these people can't hurt him."
Turning back a little time, Lin Xiu entered the trading center, and the boss, a man named Vareles, began to be very happy that Lin Xiu was able to send the golden dragon claw back, and gave him a thousand gold coins.
But Lin Xiu noticed his sister, the girl's eyes looking at Lin Xiu were obviously unnatural, and she hesitated for a long time, and finally came over.
"Thank you, sir, for retrieving our heirloom, for which I am very grateful, but now you are in a very bad situation."
"Me?"
Lin Xiu asked in some surprise, not understanding why this woman would suddenly say such a thing to herself.
"Yes, please don't think I'm joking, although I don't know how you leaked your whereabouts, but a guard has just left from here, and the Empire's pursuers should be there immediately."
The girl's words were very serious, and it was clearly not a prank.
"I think I'll believe you, but why?"
Lin Xiu really didn't have a clue, he had just entered Ximu Town, why did the soldiers of the empire want him? Could it be that a traveler recognized him?
But why Imperial soldiers?
Lin Xiu thanked him and walked out of here quickly, after all, this small trading shop only has one door, once he is blocked in the room, then it will be a turtle in the urn.
Although, he didn't think that thirty or fifty guards could cause him any harm, but Skyrim also had laws, once he attacked the guards, he would have a guilt value, and when the time came, Xue Man would definitely not be able to enter.
Wait, sin value!
Lin Xiu hurriedly called up his information, and sure enough, his guilt value had reached more than 2,000 points, obviously, he instantly figured out that it was all because of the killing order.
In other words, in this game, the apostle has made changes to these natives to let them know that they are a heinous criminal.
Not to mention Xueman, I'm afraid he can't enter any city.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu left quickly, and was walking to the door, a team of twenty patrols had already rushed over, and without saying a word, an arrow was directly shot over.
Lin Xiu turned over to dodge, flipped a few times on the ground, and quickly escaped towards the outside of Ximu Town, fortunately, there were no travelers passing by at this time, otherwise Lin Xiu's identity would be revealed immediately.
Lin Xiu knew that it would definitely not be beneficial for him to do it in Ximu Town, so he led that group of soldiers directly towards the ravine, and when he got there, it was his world. (To be continued......)
