Chapter 14: After the Ashes

"Stop!"

"Follow me!"

"Find a place to hide~"

Hadava just took a group of residents of Helgen and ran wildly behind Lu Yuan all the time, not even knowing where he would take him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info In addition to looking up at the sky, they just try to run as fast as possible so that they don't fall behind-stop when Lu Yuan shouts for them to stop, and when they shout to hide, they try to shrink themselves into a ball - and then the next moment, they will see a huge black dragon flying just overhead!

The dragon spewed dragon flames unscrupulously, but he didn't see the group of small insects close at hand...... The two sides worked together as if they were cheating.

After coming here a few times, the people who followed and ran were convinced by Lu Yuanxin, "This is a person who really understands dragons." It was precisely by landing far away from the miraculous "prophecy" that these people passed through most of the Helgen towns ravaged by the evil dragon unscathed! So much so that it wasn't until Lu Yuan ordered them to stop in front of a collapsed house that Hadava and these natives realized - how could this person be more familiar with Helgen than we were?!

"Go inside, it should be safe for now." Lu Yuan led them around the ruins, pushed open a hidden door and said. Coupled with the few people who gathered along the way, the number of people following him exceeded ten.

Hadava looked at the house in front of him, which had been crushed by the fallen tower, and suddenly recognized that this was not the town's material warehouse! There's a big cellar in there, big enough to hide these people! It can be said that in the current situation, this is the most suitable place to hide.

"How did you find here?" Hadava couldn't help but ask, "I mean, whether you've been to Creekwood or not. I've been in Helgen for five years, and I swear I've never seen you...... How did you know there was a cellar here? ”

"Observe, what's so hard about that?" Lu Yuan explained lightly while stuffing people into the door. Like he said, it's mostly safe to get here. Because the tower next to it, which had been destroyed by the dragon flames, was burning fiercely, and the flames and smoke had covered the place tightly, and it was not discovered by the black dragon at all.

"If you look closely, you'll see that the first thing the big lizard is attacking are intact, conspicuous buildings! Then there were the Imperial soldiers who fought back, and finally the ones who fled on the ground. I didn't know there was a cellar, but the collapsed house obviously wouldn't be of interest to the dragon. It would be safe to hide inside. ”

A closer look? When there's a dragon on top of your head? Are you sure it's not hard?

But when Hadava thought that this guy was still giggling when he was about to be beheaded, he was speechless. Maybe this guy in front of him is the kind of guy who is born with a big heart, and there is nothing that can really scare him...... If he were a Nord, he would be a great fellow.

As for the crumbling house in front of him, apart from the cellar inside, Hadavak couldn't see where it was safe...... Don't say that if you are attacked by the dragon again, you will definitely be finished with the people inside! Even if it is blown by the strong wind for a while, it may continue to collapse. Is it really safe here? However, Lu Yuan insisted that he had no choice but to follow the people in front of him into the warehouse.

Of course, there are many other reasons, and Lu Yuan does not need to list them one by one.

For example, he knows a lot about dragons, who can distinguish details in bright light, but need to switch to a different vision when looking at shadows. This location happened to be in the shadow of the mountain, and it should be a small black ruin in the eyes of the dragon, which was completely unremarkable; For example, this house was smashed down when another house fell, rather than being ignited by dragon flames. Therefore, there is no shortage of lifting inside, and people will not die of suffocation, and it seems dangerous to hide inside...... Wait a minute.

As for the house will collapse? Hehe~ How is it possible! Lu Yuan guaranteed his 400-year-old Dawn compulsory education, and after accurate calculations, this house could at least hold on......

"Boom!" In front of him, the house collapsed into a pile of ruins.

"I'll go—" Lao Lu was dumbfounded, "I can't be wrong in my calculations!" ”

*****

The Nord people's houses are directly built with thick logs and stones, and at most they use stone and mud to outline the gaps to block the wind, and the style can be described as rough and strong, very resistant! Just two words, "solid"! For such a house, the stone materials alone weigh more than ten tons. And then those huge log beams smashed down together, and the kinetic energy contained was quite terrifying, and I am afraid that even if I hid in the cellar, it would not be safe.

Lu Yuan was taken aback, and he couldn't care about the dragon in the sky, so he hurriedly jumped into the ruins to save people!

Which excavator technology is stronger? Ahem.

"Don't tell me that the G-constant is different, the G-constant here is exactly the same as the Earth! …… Air humidity ...... Could I have missed the humidity of the air? It's at the foot of a snowy mountain, when I'm an idiot! My calculations, no, can, can, wrong! ”

I saw Lu Yuan arguing with someone who didn't exist in a hurry, and quickly dug down towards the exit of the cellar. He didn't want to attract the attention of the heavenly dragon, and he couldn't move too much. I saw that he concentrated for a moment, and when he stretched out again, his hands had become as sharp as a big sword and a halberd! With both hands in it, the earth and stones cracked like new oranges, and the large stones and wooden beams piled together were easily separated, and then thrown out one by one, and soon the entrance to the cellar was cleared.

The cellar has actually collapsed! However, the place where it collapsed was carried alive by more than a dozen Nords!

However, they obviously couldn't hold on anymore, and as soon as Lu Yuan dug it up, the cellar collapsed completely, smashing the dozen or so people in the cellar to the point that their heads were bleeding. Fortunately, it was only the roof of the cellar that collapsed, and although everyone was injured, the Nords were rough and thick-skinned, and none of them were seriously injured.

"Finite element analysis? Of course, I built the mathematical model and did the finite element analysis, which is very simple......" Lu Yuan still muttered to himself.

"What about the safety?!" Hadava yelled angrily at Lu Yuan - there are still two children in the cellar, and even this honest man is angry!

"Start rebuilding the collapse process...... Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to him at all, in Lu Yuan's eyes, the earth, wood and stones piled together in front of him had flown back to their original places one by one. It is as if the time of the collapse process is reversed, and the pulling, tearing, folding, and collision during the collapse are all expressed, and then returned to their places one by one......

"Wait," wait until everything is reversed under the simulation, and everything is in its place. Lu Yuan's eyes finally fell on a wooden stick that should never have appeared here! "What's the matter with this stick?!" He grabbed Hadava's neck and yelled in a bit of a frenzy! Because it was in the hand of Hadava!

It's because this damn stick was sucked away that the house suddenly collapsed!

"Did you know that taking something casually can kill someone! Say, why do you owe so much to your hand! Lu Yuan grabbed his neck and shook it like a salted fish.

"I, I just want to put my foot on the ......," Hadawa, who realized the problem, argued weakly.

*****

It didn't take long for Alduin to put an end to its ravages and leave the town contentedly destroyed.

And Helgen was in ruins, just as Lu Yuan had predicted before. Ruined walls, and piles of white ash ruins. Except for the part of the villagers who had evacuated with the Imperial army, most of the soldiers who had left behind to resist and the townspeople who had not had time to flee were burned to this pale ash. Alduin's dragon flame seems to be a flame with a soul, and those who die under the dragon flame will be swallowed up by the flames little by little, and eventually become a handful of ashes.

The remnants are still alive, and the dragon flame is not extinguished.

No, it cannot yet be said that Helgen was "completely destroyed"......

As the deep shadow of the black dragon swept past the top of the "Throat of the World" mountain, it disappeared into the depths of the sky. In the ruins of Helgen, hundreds of residents of Helgen came out of the town of Helgen—these were the living people who were rescued from under Alduin's mouth with great difficulty thanks to the joint efforts of Lu Yuan and Hadava.

The Nords walked through the flaming towns, wordlessly gazing at their home, which had been completely transformed. Burning home and letting their tears roll in their eyes. But the Nords, who were as silent as stone, said nothing, and one by one they bent down—removing the burning wood, smashing the melted and solidified rocks, chiseling the walls—silently salvaging what was left of the house, and piling it up in one place.

At this time, there is no distinction between yours and mine, only everyone's.

There were only two people, still swaggering and idle, choosing to stand by and watch this scene. They were lying comfortably in the stone pit burned by Long Yan, as if they were sitting on the throne of flames, and the residual heat of Long Yan could still roast the two of them behind them. But the Nords didn't seem to have any objection to this, and they even lowered their heads seriously every time they passed by the two men.

For the Nords, this is important.

Because those two people deserve it, they are everyone's lifesavers - Lu Yuan and Hadava sat on a pile of ruins melted together by dragon flames, disgraced, so tired that they didn't even want to move a little finger. In order to save these people, the two of them really tried their best! Fortunately, one is the incarnation of a saint, who can perceive the overall situation and predict crises in advance; The other is very familiar with Helgen and is recognized by everyone.

Two people joined forces to save these hundreds of people. You must know that in the original plot, except for the two groups of people who were rescued by General Tulius and escaped, almost all the remaining residents were killed.

"What are you going to do next," Lu Yuan asked. "Continue back to the army? To be honest, with your soft temperament, it's really not appropriate to go to the army. If it weren't for the ruthlessness you were with when you saved people today, I don't think you look like a Nord at all. ”

Hadava smiled helplessly, he had heard many people say this about him, but in fact he was just a clerk in the army. And the Nords have also built a splendid culture, with countless breathtakingly large buildings, not all of which are rough men on the ice field.

"I want to rebuild Helgen!" He looked at the busy people and said in a deep voice.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then relieved. In the original, Helgen was in ruins, and most of the people were dead. Eventually, the place became a place of thieves, a history that witnessed prosperity like the countless ruins of Skyrim...... But now it has been changed by Lu Yuan. As long as the people are still there, it is only the house that will be burned down! Five Nords can stand up to the wolves and carve out a new stronghold in the wilderness - there are a hundred Nords here!

There are also leaders like Hadawa, who have been recognized by everyone. Reconstruction is difficult, but there is a lot of hope.

"They approve of you equally, they just can't say it." Hearing Lu Yuan's complaint, Hadava hurriedly explained.

"Come on, Nords!" Lu Yuan scoffed at this.

Lu Yuan was really fortunate to see the stubborn side of the Nords—even if Lu Yuan saved their lives—but compared to the degree of recognition, he was far inferior to Hadava! The most fundamental reason is actually because he is a prisoner who is going to be publicly executed today! In the eyes of ordinary Nords, the Imperial soldiers were right, and the Storm Cloak did nothing wrong. But Lu Yuan and the horse thief, who were "hacked", although they did not die, in the eyes of the Nords, this did not change their own identity as "guilty of a crime worthy of death".

This is truly unwarranted.

"Just stay here and lead them to rebuild their homes! I'll come back to help if needed. Lu Yuan first solemnly promised. Then he turned his head, rubbed his hands, and whispered to Hadava.

"What, I said old ha...... Isn't it time for you to give me the main quest? ”
