The city of Snow is located on a rocky hill surrounded by water. The river, called the White River, is small enough for irrigation and is too reluctant for boating. The city is surrounded by a vast plain dotted with farms and windmills.

The city is not as regular as I imagined, this traditional and pure Nord city is built entirely according to the topography, with sharpened wooden stakes nailed to the stone walls of varying heights, twisting a slightly wayward curve to enclose the city as the terrain moves.

Looking through the walls, it is clear that the city is divided into three areas according to the topography, and on top of the hill is a palace where the lord of Snowman City live.

Looking at it from afar, Longxiao Palace is very magnificent, towering into the clouds.

The doorman leaned on the door panel with some leisure, although the number of adventurers who had flowed into Snow City had increased recently, but with the lord's dragon slaying order in the afternoon, everything could be relieved, dragon slayer, what a great and fascinating story this sounded.

"Big brother, I'd like to ask you about something."

It was Zhang Yi who spoke, and at this time only he and Liu Yi were left in the group, the monk and Kalian, Wei Dongxu, under the guidance of C.C., had already met a member of the comrade-in-arms group named Vilcas this afternoon, and the two met to be considered like-minded.

When he met Vilkas, the task he was entrusted with had not been completed, it seemed to be a task to exterminate and grab, Wei Dongxu went with him, anyway, C.C.'s instructions were to ask them to integrate into the comrade-in-arms group as soon as possible, since they wanted to have a good relationship, then these actions were obviously necessary.

Rather than seeing C.C.'s face. Wei Dongxu would rather live an adventurer-like life with Vilkas licking blood from the knife edge. Enter this world. Everything is full of mystery, which has long made Wei Dongxu feel that the big knife is unbearable.

"Let me guess, your donut must have been stolen." When the guards saw Zhang Yi, they actually came up with such a sentence, which made Zhang Yi's second monk puzzled for a while.

"What donuts?"

While Zhang Yi muttered softly, Kalian had already thrown a gold coin over, and after receiving the gold coin, the guard really put away his lazy look.

"Hmm. For the sake of the gold coins—

The city hasn't been peaceful lately, the Mare Banner Inn has been overcrowded, and many people have moved to the Hall of the Dead to rest, so if you're adventurers, that's not good news. “

The guard seemed to be an old fritter too, and as he took the gold coin, he had already opened the city gate for the three of them, and whispered to them about what had happened in the city recently.

"Big brother, you know a lot, can you tell us something?"

Zhang Yi said good things, obviously wanting to inquire about more useful news. But the guard suddenly fell silent, and Karen saw this. I had to skillfully flick him another gold coin.

The guard was evidently skilled, and without a trace he slipped the gold coins into his pocket with a stroke of his sleeve.

For the sake of the face of the gold coin, the guard began to talk endlessly, what kind of gossip information such as the dispute between the gray mane and the war mad family, and the son of the lord beating up the child, but unfortunately it was not useful.

"Actually, I was once an adventurer, just like you, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee."

Uh, what he said almost made Karene and Liu Yi think that his words were also kindly translated into modern Chinese by domestic game fans.

Only Zhang Yi has studied this game a little thoroughly, and the Nords never kneel to the weak, except when proposing.

But the Nord men felt that kneeling to a woman was very wronged, so they jokingly called kneeling when proposing to a woman an arrow in the knee and had to kneel.

"Love, the grave of a career"

The guard obviously saw that Zhang Yi and Kalian were between him, and after he finished speaking, he patted Zhang Yi's shoulder meaningfully, which made Zhang Yi blush, he didn't expect that this guard would have such a vision.

"Finally, for the sake of the gold coin's face—

The recent mare banner is very uneven, and it is better to find a place to clean the corrosive smell on your body first, otherwise it will be easy to attract the attention of others. “

It seems that inadvertently, this guard left them such words before leaving, and looking at the back that was gradually moving away, the three of them were a little thoughtful for a while.

"The dragon slaying order, the prompt of the task was not received, which means that this woman really transferred the dragon stone, so according to the plan, we should go to the mare banner to meet them."

The mare banner, I really don't know what the name of the people in Skyrim comes from, with this strong sense of disobedience, the three of them walked in.

It's very different from what they've seen in the game, and it's completely subversive.

The room was infinitely enlarged, and in the middle of the room there was a large group of men exchanging feelings around the fire, and every table around it was full of people, some eating, drinking, singing, and even wrestling wrists.

Of course, the people who do these things are obviously the natives of the original game world, and the travelers are all inadvertently or inadvertently observing everyone who walks in.

"At least three groups of people are already eyeing us."

Liu Yi's strength is currently the highest among the three, he originally had a foundation in martial arts, how to use his five senses and six senses to find some useful information, this is his specialty.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them chose a table near the corner of the wall and continued to wait, but they had just sat down when the person looking for trouble had already walked towards them.

"Listen, this place has been covered by us recently, unrelated people, get out quickly, this girl is good, stay and have a few drinks with my brother."

Sure enough, once the traveler enters, he will begin to crowd out other teams, and a small team like Liu Yi and the three of them is obviously good enough to get through the initial stage, and such a team is naturally not taken into account by others.

Hearing such provocative words, Kalian gestured to Liu Yi with her eyes. Maybe it's not a good thing to make a move at this time. But sometimes you don't have a choice.

"Yo he. I speak to you, and you should not have heard."

This person patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and was about to teach him a lesson, looking at the shiny braincase, thinking about how to make a move, a wave of internal energy erupted from Liu Yi's body, directly shaking the person's hand.

When the man was stunned, Zhang Yi had already jumped up from the bench beyond the deadline.

"Demacia!"

This shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire tavern. Is it a skill in League of Legends?

It is not easy for these three people to be compressed to less than 20% of their strength, and they can still launch such a big skill.

Thinking like this, that person was also confused by Zhang Yi's shouting, and he was stupid for a while.

"Click"

The bench slapped on his shoulder, sawdust flew, and the bench was shattered, but the man was not hurt at all, although he was knocked out of his head.

"Damn, this kid is bluffing here—"

Other travelers felt their eyebrows twitch. I didn't know how to express it for a while, and I wanted to go up and join the others in beating up that bluffing boy.

"If you don't shout nonsense, you can die."

Karen was really angry. Turned over and jumped in front of Zhang Yi from the table, although Zhang Yi also learned the stick technique, but at the level of his two hangers, Kalian really didn't dare to look at it directly.

"Damn, smoke the guy and destroy their team."

The man got up from the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood and foam, and a white tooth fell to the ground, obviously Zhang Yi's bench just now still had a certain effect.

Seeing that Zhang Yi could only bluff, their people were not too afraid, and they drew their weapons one after another, and about seven or eight people pounced in an instant.

A table was overturned and flew up, smashing into the three of them, Liu Yi raised his leg high, slashed with one foot, and directly divided the table into two halves, and the internal kung fu was already fully opened.

Kalian swims the dragon snake, she herself has good skills, and after strengthening, she has been greatly improved, and she is not at the same level as Zhang Yi's level.

Shrinking into the front of a man, leaning his shoulders, a series of punches all over his chest.

"Beat him, grandma, the tiger doesn't make a threat, when Lao Tzu is a sick cat?

Monk, beat the guy on your left

Right, right, the kid on the right is ready to sneak attack. “

Zhang Yi stood on the table, shouting and commanding the battle, his skills were completely useless at this time, although he often practiced with Wei Dongxu, but in a strict sense, it was his first hand-to-hand combat, he used to hide in the mecha, he could exert unimaginable combat effectiveness, but this game is forbidden to high-tech.

"Second brother, I beg you, can you stop making trouble? You've been directing for a while, and you're ready to carry me back. “

Liu Yi turned back to Zhang Yi with a sad face, one of his eyes had been beaten into a panda, if it weren't for Zhang Yi's indiscriminate command there, he could have avoided it completely.

"Uh-"

Zhang Yi was also a little embarrassed for a while.

"Watch out for the back."

But at this time, he was not given a chance to think at all, those people originally just looked at the three of them as a team to bully, which Cheng thought that this monk was obviously with kung fu, and the strength compressed to less than 20% was still not something that three or five could handle.

The woman over there was more like a wild cat, so flexible that she couldn't touch her body at all.

"Stop it all!"

A coquettish cry resounded throughout the mare banner, and this sudden low shout suddenly made the personnel on both sides stop, not because of how threatening the woman's voice was, but because behind her, more than a dozen guards were following at this time, and they had locked all their bodies with bows and arrows.

"Ahh

A miserable scream, extremely infiltrating, just the moment when the woman shouted to stop, the bench in Zhang Yi's hand had just been raised above his head, and a good head happened to pass in front of him.

Subsequently, Zhang Yi saw the figure of C.C. in his spare eyes, so this bench did not hesitate to have intimate contact.

"You attacked me—

Sir, arrest him. “

The man pointed at Zhang Yi and scolded, I really don't know why this person is so shameless.

"Throw all eight of the eight people here into prison."

Later, the woman who walked into the room gave an order softly, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes, and had an extremely elegant aristocratic atmosphere. It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Yes. Lord Baron. ”

The woman with the sword in one hand quickly gave the order to arrest her. The eight men were obviously unwilling to be arrested, and shouted loudly.

"Why, they obviously did it too."

"You must not be so biased, Lord Baron, and if we can, we are willing to atone for our sins with gold."

In this way, the female guard hesitated a little, not knowing whether to continue the arrest. After all, using money to offset crime is an unwritten decree in the sky.

"Lydia, don't hesitate, just follow the order just now."

C.C. didn't care about their explanations, and waved his hand to let that Lydia continue to carry out the order to arrest.

"Why? Why can they be okay? ”

The eight men were obviously quite unconvinced, so that after entering the prison, their first stage of their task was obviously even more precarious.

"Because...... They're my teammates. ”

C.C. blinked his big, shiny eyes and looked at them like he was looking at an idiot.

The rest of the matter fell into place, and C.C. led the three of them to the baronial residence she had just granted. Unlike the original game, the scale and style of the house have changed drastically.

"Baron?"

"Oh my God. So you used Dragonstone in exchange for such an inconspicuous reputation? What's the use of this? ”

Karene said angrily, obviously feeling that C.C.'s behavior was really unacceptable to her, it was the key to unlocking the main quest, and this woman actually exchanged it for such a flashy baronial title.

"How could it be useless?

Don't forget that I just saved you, oh Karen, and forgot to remind you that this is the second time. “

C.C. said with an innocent face, but for such words, Kalian really can't refute it, Zhang Yi and Liu Yi are still quite happy, at least they don't have to go to the hall of the dead to sleep at night, thinking about the dead bodies sleeping next to them, this feeling, as long as they think about it, they will be furious.

The woman named Lydia, Zhang Yi and the others naturally recognized, that was the first personal guard given by the lord of Xueman after the protagonist completed the first task, and now the rights of this baron have obviously been magnified a lot, and twenty followers have been added.

"That's not right, Sister C, I remember that I will only be given the position of baron after completing the task of slaying the dragon."

Zhang Yi knows this game very well, after all, he is the original person who helped Xiao Ai crack it together.

"Ah, but don't forget, isn't there a housekeeper by his side, that guy regards money as his life, so I gave him the dragon stone, received such a big gift, and I gave him a lot of gold coins, will he not work hard to help me with good words."

C.C. said disapprovingly, and the three people behind him were a little sweaty, what kind of theory is this, how does this eldest sister want to attack their mission.

"Arrived, look, the scenery is not bad, it would be better if there was pizza, the food here is really unacceptable, Tifa, Lao Wei and Xiao Fan seem to have successfully entered the group of comrades in Yuehuaska, and there is no need to wait for them for lunch."

C.C. took care of himself, ignoring the mood of the three behind him.

Longshi changed to the position of a baron, which really makes people feel at a loss, but C.C. can't say it clearly, Bajue is here, and he must have been staring at this task item a long time ago.

C.C. is too lazy to talk to them about these truths.

On the other side, Tifa and Tan Xiaofan successfully entered Yuehuaska, and at this time, the front of the comrade-in-arms group was already crowded with people, and it was obvious that there were still many travelers who wanted to join the comrade-in-arms group.

"Before the establishment of Snow Man City, the Moon Vasca of the Brothers-in-Arms was the only building here. Moon Vaskar is the name of a ship that the Nord heroes took to cross the Sea of Ghosts more than 4,000 years ago. If you look at the shape of this building, isn't it just a ship? ”

As Ella walked, she told Tifa about the history of her comrades, and she had an indescribable affection for Tifa, who existed like an elf princess.

"Of course, there's a big reason why we're settling here, and that's because of the Sky Furnace."

This point, even if it doesn't need to be said by Ella, Tifa also has a certain understanding from the original game, that magical furnace of Babel, which is said to be able to create ancient divine weapons.

Ella obviously didn't have a good impression of the adventurers who were clinging to the Moon Vaskar Gate, and led Tifa directly into the interior of the group of comrades.

Inside the Brothers-in-Arms, in the basement of Moon Vasca, Tifa met the true leader of the Brothers-in-Arms, a prophet named Krako.

"Oh, Ella, your actions like this will cause the displeasure of those adventurers outside."

The old man was very kind, and when he saw Ella coming in with Tifa, he seemed to have guessed something, and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Tifa is different from them."

Ella didn't say a word of explanation, as if all explanations were superfluous in front of the wise man.

"Oh? Well, I should trust your judgment if you really already intend to entrust your back to her. “

Krako looked at Tifa in front of him, swept Ella again, and said gently.

"So, do you agree with me joining the comrades-in-arms?"

Tifa was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to join the group of comrades to be such a simple thing.

"Of course, child, the Brothers-in-Arms accept all homeless people, and this will be your home from now on."

The old man's unscheming forgiveness moved Tifa a little.

"Then it just so happens that I, an old man, have time now, so you can come with me to the backyard to complete the ceremony."

On the back side of the moon waska, near the Sky Furnace, next to the edge of the city wall, several arrow targets were erected, apparently this is the place where the peacetime comrade-in-arms group trains.

Krako, who had walked out of the room, put a solemn look on his face and stopped in front of Ella.

"Now, I ask you, Ella, will you raise your shield for her?"

"I will always stand behind her, so that the world will never have a chance to sneak up on us."

Ella's answer was equally solemn, it was an oath of the Brotherhood Circle, and from this moment on, Tifa became Ella's shield brother.

"Will you wield a sword for him?"

"It is always ready to drink the blood of its enemies."

"Would you like to raise a glass to her?"

"I would like to let the song of triumph glorify her like mead."

"Okay, then the ring ruling is over, congratulations, Ella, your back is no longer alone from today."

The solemn oath touched Tifa deeply, especially Ella's unconditional trust.

"Well, let me get acquainted again, my shield brother, Ella, who is willing to entrust his back to you forever."

Ella smiled and held out her hand.

"Tifa, willing to use the long sword in your hand to cut through all the thorns for you, my shield brother."

Hands clasped together, and from then on, one more person was added to the ring.

It's just that what Krako didn't expect was that on this night, such a ceremony was carried out twice again, and Vilkas, who rushed back from the wilderness, wanted to increase his shield brother, a young man named Wei Dongxu, and Skeyue actually came to join in the fun, and temporarily captured Tan Xiaofan as his shield brother.

On this night, the moon Waskar sang and danced.

Under the moon, an old man named Krako recorded the day in his diary with a pen.

Eyes full of wisdom are shining.

"Has the prophecy begun? It's really exciting. (To be continued......)

PS: I forgot to thank Qinghe Taimu for the reward.
