Chapter 5: Arrival in Creek Town, New Quest (Tomorrow Resumes Normal Update)

In the coal and stone cave, seeing Amira's tired and tired appearance, Zhu Peng, who was not in a hurry, shook his head slightly, and he said, "Don't leave today, you can take a good rest." ”

After speaking, he didn't explain, Zhu Peng turned around and chose a relatively best bow in the fire pond weapon pile, and then he took the arrows out of the stone cave, although in this bandit stronghold, there was enough food to cook, but Zhu Peng preferred to eat fresh, especially meat.

Walking in the forest with a bow, Zhu Peng once again confirmed the fact that the magic level of this world is quite high, because looking for the ingredients he wanted, Zhu Peng actually found a tall giant grazing mammoths on a plain, the body that was like a five-story building, just wrapped in animal skin, holding a giant stick made of ancient trees, after sending this big guy, suddenly shrunk into the grass.

Zhu Peng didn't want to test the friendliness of the giant clan in this world to humans, the giant and the mammoth elephant seemed to be huge and slow, but Zhu Peng assessed himself, and felt that with his physical strength and speed at this time, it was unlikely to outrun it, once it was directly smashed by the big stick, he would definitely say goodbye to this world.

Lurking figure, after avoiding the giant far away, Zhu Peng hunted a fat elk in the dense forest, and then cut off the hind legs and took it back to the coal and stone mine cave with some herbs to boil soup, although there are not many materials in hand, and he is not familiar with the herbs of this world, Zhu Peng can not quickly improve his physique and strength with witch-eating for the time being, but the soup and meat he boiled, its deliciousness is undoubted.

Even though Amira has tasted Zhu Peng's craftsmanship in the past two days, she still almost swallowed her tongue, and after eating, she looked satisfied with no regrets even if she died at this moment.

"By the way, Mr. Citez, this is what I found here, it seems to be the most valuable item, and it is very sharp. Saying that, Amira handed over a copper-colored dagger with a strange shape to the other party, after Zhu Peng reached out to take it, he sniffed it and gently touched the edge of the dagger with his fingers, without force at all, but there were still extremely fine blood beads overflowing, this dagger was indeed very sharp, and at the same time, it was much heavier than ordinary steel daggers.

"Well done, I now have a good off-hand weapon, and I don't have to be so careful about avoiding armor when fighting people. Between the words, Zhu Peng turned his backhand and stabbed the copper dagger with a slight arc on the wooden table.

The thick wooden table was directly pierced through it, and such a sharp edge, even if it stabbed the ordinary quality of iron-clad armor, I am afraid it would be a stabbing in.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Peng and Amira finally arrived at Ximu Town with a lot of things, which is a rather peaceful and quiet village, located under the snow peaks, between the green and dense mountain forests, there is a gurgling water running through the village, revealing golden shadows under the sun, very beautiful!

This is also the origin of the name of Ximu Town, with gently flowing streams, mountains and trees, a place suitable for adventurers to wash their hands and retire.

Before Zhu Peng and Amira walked in directly, they had already heard some villagers talking loudly about the dragon.

"It's true, dragon, I really saw it. It was huge as a mountain, and it was as dark as night, and I had seen it fly from the mountain over there two days ago. A villager from Ximu Town was speaking eagerly and fiercely, but most of the people gathered around him didn't quite believe it.

"Hilde, when you came out of the tavern that day, it was already dark outside, and you drank so much wine...... "Of course the villagers didn't believe it, how could a dragon that had only been circulating in the mouths of the old man suddenly appear after so many years of peaceful life in Skyrim Province?

On the one hand, it is the deafness of hearing, and on the other hand, the villagers instinctively refuse to believe the news that is not good for them.

"Let's go, go meet with Larov's sister first, tell her the news of the dragon's arrival, and then clean up these things in your hands, and I'll send you to Snowy City tomorrow." Flicked the forehead of the girl next to him, and in Amira's painful and aggrieved eyes, Zhu Peng took the lead in leaving the villagers who were still talking there.

Although the scenery of Ximu Town is beautiful, the scale is not very large, and there are not many people, plus Larov's sister Gordo runs a logging factory here, and she is also a person with a head and a face, so after just a little inquiry, the two quickly found each other.

"Oh, that guy Larov, he just doesn't want to live quietly...... Did you save his life? Is he okay now?"

"To be precise, we fought together and escaped, and he should be on his way to Stormrudder City, the territory of the Stormcloak rebels. I think he at least feels like he's in good shape at the moment. ”

Ralov's sister was a rather decent and capable woman, although she was middle-aged, and she was a little old after years of hard work, but it can be seen that she was still a rare beauty when she was young, with good facial features, and a little bit of style between her sideburns.

"Well, here's the thing. If there's a dragon around here, oh my God, that's ridiculous. But if this is true, we will have to tell Lord Bargulf of Snowman, asking him to send an army to protect Brookwood, friend, you are a friend of Larov, that is, my friend, you are a sword-wielding man, and there should be no one in Brookwood who is better suited to deliver this news than you. If you're willing to help me, Brookwood will do everything in it to repay you. Because of the two strengthenings, Zhu Peng at this time was already much stronger and taller than in his initial state. Especially if a person's temperament is not deliberately concealed, it is obvious that Zhu Peng, who has the armor of the imperial captain and has two swords hanging from his waist, obviously makes Gordo feel that he can be trusted.

"Well, happy to oblige. Zhu Peng also understood the other party's request, in the primitive ecology of Skyrim Province, if ordinary people walked between the two cities at will, they might be bitten to death by wolves if they were a little unlucky, not to mention that they were going to send Amira to Snow City, and this mission to deliver the letter was completely a matter of the way, especially if it was related to the dragon.

Zhu Peng would never be dead to provoke that black dragon now, no matter how skillful he is, no matter how strong his spiritual will is, he will be blown by that guy in seconds, this level of strength gap is not easy to bridge, so doing some tasks related to that giant dragon is also a way to advance the spy mission.

"This is a house in Ximu Town, you can live in it for as long as you want, wait a minute, I'll get you some money and food, it's not a short way to get to Snow City from here. Zhu Peng and Amira turned around and went to the grocery store in the town after leaving the lumber mill, and it was impossible to travel with two large bags of things after all.

"At least one of us has to do something. ”

"No, you are not allowed to take risks, don't make trouble, and I don't allow you to catch thieves!" "In the grocery store, Zhu Peng and Amira had just pushed the door one after the other and walked in, when they heard the shopkeeper at the counter of the grocery store arguing with a woman who looked similar to him.

"Uh, two, excuse me, sell something. As he spoke, Zhu Peng put the package behind him, and Emira also put the sack that she had brought here from Helgen Fortress on the boss's counter.

She had to carry it quite hard all the way, so that many villagers in Ximu Town looked at Zhu Peng with wrong eyes, and faintly disdainful, but Zhu Peng couldn't help it, if he carried too many things, what if he encountered danger in the wild and was directly bitten to death by wolves due to lack of physical fitness?

And Amira herself is also happy, Mr. Citis said that all the property will be divided into half of her, which is nothing to Zhu Peng, but for Amira this is a huge amount of money that can change her fate, carrying money, as long as she can carry it, who is not happy.

The grocery store owner behind the counter opened the sack and package, and turned out the carefully selected belongings from it, and when he saw a bloodstained silver bracelet, his eyes were a little straight, and he looked up at Zhu Peng, and then at the silver bracelet, a little unsure if he should shout for help.

"Don't get me wrong, have you ever seen a robber take such a little girl around to commit a crime? I just wiped out a robber's lair, and this little girl was rescued there. With Amira nodding her head frequently, the grocer let out a long breath and relaxed, and then he began to count his belongings and estimate the value of them.

"You're alone, killing so many robbers? These things should not be all, these are obviously chosen. ”

"Mr. Citis killed all by himself...... At least fifty robbers, I can see the end from the side, Mr. Citis kills those miscellaneous fish as smoothly as my grandmother kills chickens, grabbing the neck and bleeding one by one!" "The bloodthirsty girl Amira was a little excited and a little proud to directly double Zhu Peng's killing record the day before yesterday, if that coal and stone mine cave was really entrenched in fifty robbers, Zhu Peng would have dragged her away, but Zhu Peng had no position to expose the girl's lies at the moment, so he could only rub his nose and didn't hear it.

"What a powerful young man...... "It's not the owner of the grocery store, it's the woman next to him who looks Zhu Peng up and down.

About ten minutes or so, after the two sides completed the transaction, two large bags of things belonged to the grocery store owner, and a large bag of heavy money bags decorated with gold coins fell into Zhu Peng's hands, and then he casually threw it to Amira behind him, the red-haired girl hugged the big money bag with a happy face, and an infatuated expression appeared on her face.

When Zhu Peng turned around and was about to leave with the girl holding the big money bag, the owner of the grocery store said with some hesitation: "Well, do you want to make more money?"

"Huh!?"

"Here's the thing, the treasure of the shop, a dragon claw made of gold, was taken away by a gang of robbers, young man, I think that since you have the ability to kill fifty robbers, then the robbers who robbed me are not a problem, will you take back that dragon claw for me? I really like it. With the words of the grocery store owner, Zhu Peng's eyes popped up with a phantom reminder of the third ring of the serial task, so that there was nothing to hesitate about, even if there was no commission this time, Zhu Peng would still have to do it.

"No problem, but I have something to do with a trip to Snowy City first, and I ...... in time."

"It doesn't matter in terms of time, as long as you help me get my dragon claws back. The grocery store owner said hurriedly, and then he got a nod from Zhu Peng.

........................

A campfire burns in the center of the tavern, and the aroma of mead, cheese and meat fills the air.

A bard named Swann sang while stroking the harp, and it was evident from all these aspects that the standard of living of the common people in the entire province of Skyrim was still good, and although there seemed to be a bit of a lot of robbers, even the most ordinary farmers and hunters could enjoy the wine and meat, and after getting drunk, they danced to the bard's songs.

Although they took over the tasks of the lumber mill owner Gordo and the grocery store owner at the same time, when Zhu Peng and Amira arrived in Ximu Town, it was already getting late, so it would be more efficient to stay overnight after all, and after recuperating their energy, it would be more efficient to embark on the journey tomorrow.

The man and woman lived in the tavern together, because they had just earned a large amount of gold coins, so even the frugal Amira ordered a glass of honey wine for herself at this moment, and the red-haired girl sat next to Zhu Peng with the cup in both hands, she was obviously very intoxicated by the atmosphere of this first attempt.

Helgen was a military fortress, and Emira's family was poor, so she didn't have the resources to go into such a tavern and enjoy the medieval nightlife.

"Boss, have you heard any rumors lately?" On the contrary, it was Zhu Peng, who had been a mercenary similar to a professional back then, and even opened a similar tavern, so he was too familiar with this environment.

Five fingers between a few gold coins, flick, the few gold coins flexibly swirled from different angles, across the table, the tavern owner was a little hurried to reach out to catch it, but the gold coins swirled before falling into his hand, and then turned down the wooden table back into Zhu Peng's hand.

"Huh. Looking at the tavernkeeper's depressed and embarrassed appearance, Amira couldn't help but smile softly.

"Oh, little brother, it's not good for you to play tricks on people like this. You look like a man who is used to using a sword, and this is a bounty left by the lord's men when they pass by, take it and take a look. As he spoke, the tavern owner took out a piece of parchment and pushed it directly to Zhu Peng, as the operator of the tavern in the territory of Xueman City, he himself has a certain obligation to do this kind of work, and it is not cost-effective for some rogue bandits to be solved by the troops of Xueman City, and it is more cost-effective to directly hire wandering swordsmen.

The wandering swordsman eats with his life, and only those who complete the task are paid a large amount of money, and the bounty is irresponsible as to how many people die for it.
