"Hello, young mage, we're members of the Skyrim Brothers, you just cast a melee spell, right? Cool! Your courage is worthy of your spell. A shawl's brown hair, three thick ink marks obliquely painted on a somewhat resolute face, a slender fur armor, the joints wrapped in steel, the female archer holding a torch to talk to the young man, a pair of short bows behind her back, and a two-foot short blade hanging from her waist, "My name is Ella, and I am a member of the Brothers-in-Arms. ”

The young man's face looked a little charming in the light of the torch's dancing light, and he grinned, showing his white teeth, "My name is Lu Xihua, and I am a traveler. ”

"Your name is unique, where are you from? Black hair, black eyes, shorter, similar to those big cats from Ilsvi. Are you going into town? We can go back together. "Ella is very direct and clearly a woman with a bold personality.

Lu Xihua touched his nose embarrassedly, although his figure of 1.75 meters was only ordinary in Taiyimen, but when he arrived in this fierce Tianji Province, compared with these Western-style aborigines, he did look a little short. The female archer hunter named Ella in front of her was more than 1.85 meters tall, and her resolute face had some characteristics of the Nordic women of that world, and it was obviously the male in the same group of three, who was even stronger like a cow, and was busy collecting materials available to the giant at the moment.

"My name is Rya, I'm a new member of the Brothers-in-Arms, and your spells are great. The female warrior Lia, who was dressed in steel armor and one-handed sword and shield, was also introducing herself, looking at the young man named Lu Xihua looking at Fakas who was busy on the ground, she couldn't help blushing and kicked Farkas in the calf, "Farkass, hurry up, these materials belong to this mage friend!"

Lu Xihua waved his hand, "I just arrived in Skyrim Province, and I'm not very familiar with the things here, this giant was discovered by you first, so I'll leave the materials to you." I've read a book that says that the giant's toe and wheat can make a healing potion, which must be very useful for you warriors. ”

"And this kind of thing?!" the bear-shaped human figure Fakas, who was busy on the ground, stood up at this moment, and hurriedly wrapped a few bowl-sized toes in his hand with cloth, "We collect this material and usually sell it to alchemists, and Arcadia gives a high purchase price. I didn't expect the giant's toe and wheat to be able to make healing potions, it seems that the group really needs a mage group member, alchemy is their secret ah. After speaking, he looked at Lu Xihua with a pair of eyes, "By the way, Master, where are you from? ”

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's talk as we go. Ella looked at the guards who were gradually coming around, not wanting to draw attention to the topic. Ella seemed to be the leader of the three-person team, as soon as she spoke, no one objected, Farkas and Ria followed Ella honestly, and the four of them walked towards the main road, and in the distance was the black and oppressive city wall, like a long black snake lying prone on the reckless wasteland hills.

"What about the corpse of the giant?" Lu Xihua was a little puzzled, the human race that was more than ten meters tall, the corpse left behind after death was not a small thing.

Farkas patted Rusihua on the shoulder, "The guards will take care of it." The corpses of giants are a great thing for mages who practice necromancy, and I have heard that some lords have a special preference for giant heads, and make them into chandeliers and hang them in the main hall of their homes as a decoration for their bravery. As for the loss of the farm, it will naturally be compensated by the sale of the giant's corpses. In this wilderness, the corpses of giants are rare to see, and they must be very sought-after. ”

"After hearing this, don't you think it's a pity?" Ella, who was walking in front, suddenly glanced back at Lu Xihua, and then turned back again, "A valuable giant corpse, because it can't be moved, can only be left to the guards to deal with, which is a waste of resources for you mages." ”

Riya, a little girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, looked at her eldest sister with an expression of adoration, and talked to this powerful mage so freely, didn't she know that many mages had strange tempers?

Lu Xihua shook his head, "No. I'm not interested in corpses, I'm not one of those necromancers who like to work with the dead, I'm from the east. ”

Farkas frowned, "To the east of Skyrim is Morrowind Province, which is the homeland of the Black Elves, which retains the traditional serfdom system, but because the largest volcano in the continent ~ Red Mountain is within its borders. However, after the eruption of the Red Mountain, the sky was obscured by thick volcanic ash, the sun could no longer shine down, countless plants on the ground died, and the black elves were forced to leave their homeland and wander around. The sea near the morning breeze also erupted because of the Red Mountain, poisoning the surrounding seawater, and there were no more fish. ”

Ella walked in front, listening to the words of several people behind her, and suddenly interjected, "The east side that Lu Xihua said may not be Morrowind Province, we have all seen the black elves, Argonians, and Tiger people in the sky. He was probably talking about the place further east. ”

"Further east? Is it the legendary continent of Akavir? My God, the legendary continent of Akavir is even larger than the continent of Tamriel in our empire, and the snake people who invaded the empire a long time ago came from the continent of Akavir. I heard that there are other races on the Akavir continent, could it be that Lu Xihua are the legendary monkey people?! My God, I can't believe it, Lu Xihua You are actually a monkey man?!" The little girl Lia moved forward when she fought, but she didn't expect her thoughts to be so jumpy, and after analyzing a few words, she put a monkey man's hat on Lu Xihua's head.

Lu Xihua was also not angry, "I'm not one of those guys with long hair all over my body, I'm a pure-blooded human, you just need to know this." ”

It's a pity that the vague explanation did not dispel the doubts of the three-person squad of the comrades-in-arms, but instead caused them to look at it frequently, as if Lu Xihua was a rare thing.

"Alright, let's get back to the previous topic. Actually, Farkas, you can do alchemy on your own. Giant's toe and wheat, you slowly groping, you will definitely be able to formulate your own healing potion. Lu Xihua changed the subject again, and stopped them from guessing about their identities anymore.

"Potions are indeed a big problem in the group, and a large part of the remuneration for our hard work is spent on buying potions. Those alchemists kept the potion recipe firmly in their hearts, and alchemy would control the production of most potions in the mainland. Ella walked ahead, her long shadow dragging on the ground, elongated and shortened by the light of the torch.

"Hmm~" Lu Xihua didn't expect that the potion recipes that can be seen everywhere in the game turned out to be top secret in reality, "I'm not a mage in the sky, and I'm not subject to the alchemy society, so I'll talk about a few common materials that I know, and these materials are used for alchemy to have the effect of adding blood to healing." You can experiment with it, the materials are very ordinary. ”

"My God, are my ears dreaming?Ria give me paper and pen, I want to write down these materials, this will be the greatest treasure of our comrades-in-arms!" Farkas excitedly reached out to pull Ria beside him, but unfortunately she deftly dodged it.

Ria took out a pen and paper and complained, "Give me a good torch, can you write?!"

Farkas smiled embarrassedly, "I was excited just now, and I forgot." Haha, I'm a kid from a poor family, I can't read and write, I only have a lot of strength. Ella didn't speak, just turned to look at Lu Xihua, staring at the mysterious young man without blinking.

The four of them stopped on the side of the road, Leah took out charcoal and straw paper, and the glasses of the three people stared straight at Lu Xihua's mouth, not daring to let go of a word in it, for fear that they would miss something in the next moment. A bottle of healing potion is the life of a comrade-in-arms at a critical moment, which is very important for the personnel of the comrade-in-arms group.

"The giant's toe and the wheat, the giant's toe should be cleaned and cleaned with clean water, and the wheat should not be hulled or milled, otherwise flour should be used. This is something to be aware of when handling these two materials, and a small amount of alcohol is needed to neutralize the two materials. ”

Rusihua said as Ria carefully wrote down his words on the papyrus, and Farkas poked a big head to look at it carefully, although he was illiterate, he felt that the patterns on it were very beautiful.

"The common alchemical materials that have healing properties in Skyrim are blue mountain flowers, butterfly wings, charred snow rat fur, saber-toothed tiger eyes, lithic warbler eggs, swamp fungi, wheat, bubble grass, and little devil dung. ”

"You guys will work in pairs, try slowly, and you'll be successful. ”

"Oh my God! There are a lot of things in this place, aren't they all these materials on the roadside?Are we walking on a road made of gold coins? Blue mountain flowers, wheat, bubble grass, and burnt snow rat fur and saber-toothed tiger eyes?Oh my God! How many valuable things have we missed?!" Farkas heard Lu Xihua's words, and slowly muttered, his eyes became more and more round, more like a giant bear, setting off his two-meter-tall figure, and Lu Xihua next to him seemed like a deer.

"Wheat and blue mountain flowers, the effect is better than adding bubble grass, these materials are easy to find, you can experiment more. Before Lu Xihua could finish speaking, Farkas had already pounced into the grass on the side of the road, and in a few seconds, he brought back a bunch of small blue flowers, these inconspicuous flowers growing on both sides of the road, without Lu Xihua's mouth, who could have known that they were the alchemy materials of precious healing potions. Ella and Ria looked at the little blue flower in Farkass's hand, their eyes full of tenderness.

"What I just said is basically non-toxic, even if you fail to concoct, the potion made will not have a toxic effect, at most it is only a matter of the merits of the treatment effect, you can experiment slowly. As you become more proficient in your craft, the effect of the potion will become stronger and stronger, well, let's continue on our way, and after a day's journey, I'm hungry. Lu Xihua didn't care about the three people who were looking down to discuss the contents of the papyrus, and walked alone towards the long snake in the darkness.

"Thank you, you are truly a blessing to our comrades. Ella was the first to catch up from behind, thanking the man his age who was half a head shorter than herself.

Lu Xihua smiled, "No need, by the way, I'll ask you a question." When your comrades-in-arms were hunting and doing work in the wild, did you ever see a giant dragon flying through the sky?"

When Ella heard this, her brow furrowed slightly, "Dragon? Only the massive dragon tombs hidden in countless wildernesses and mountains show that these large lizards once appeared in the sky. In addition, in many places, there are huge stone walls carved with dragon heads, and the stone walls are carved with words that no one can understand. ”

"Oh, yes? Thank you for your answer. Lu Xihua smiled and nodded in thanks, it turned out that the plot of the Dragonborn had not yet begun.

Ella didn't know why, her face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Don't thank me." Our comrades-in-arms really look forward to a knowledgeable mage like you. In our group, everyone is brothers and sisters, helping each other, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. If you are willing to join, I can be your introducer. ”

Ella in Ria's most admired group, she cared about herself as much as a big sister who had just joined the comrade-in-arms group, making herself, an imperial from the southern province of Cellodil, feel the warmth of home. Sister Ella is not only excellent in combat skills, but also extremely brave, and is the best in the regiment in both long-range and close combat, although she is only three or four years older than herself, but she is her idol. At this moment, seeing Ella and the mysterious stranger walking in front and whispering, he couldn't help but quietly take a few steps back, pulling the dazed Fakas to leave a little time and space for the two peers in front of him.

"I won't be in Skyrim for long, thank you for your kindness. Excuse me, what's good in town? I'm going to want to eat a big meal in a moment. ”

"Well, to thank you for your generosity, this is your consulting payment, please be sure to accept it. A subtle hint of disappointment flashed in Ella's eyes, and she took out a money bag from her bosom, which was bulging, obviously with a lot of coins, and handed it to Lu Xihua, "Our comrades-in-arms are all rough people who can only barbecue. If you want to eat something delicious, you can go to the inn in the city, the mare banner. ”

Looking at Ella's firm gaze, Lu Xihua gently pushed the archer's wrist a few times, but did not move at all, and immediately understood the insistence in the woman's heart, and took the money bag, "Thank you, you are very careful." I really don't have much money on me, just some alchemy materials and sundries, and I'm going to go to the grocery store or alchemy store to sell them later in exchange for some travel expenses. ”

Seeing that Lu Xihua did not refuse, Ella also showed a hearty smile, "No problem, the mead in the mare banner is good, and the other famous ones are deer steaks, charcoal-grilled lamb legs, lavender dumplings, and steamed mud crab legs." ”

The four of them walked along the main road across the suspension bridge and bent a mountain road, and then came to the main city of the Xueman Lord, one of the nine territories of Skyrim Province ~ Xueman City.

Located in the very center of the Skyrim Province, the Snowman Collar has unrivalled strategic value. Most of the area is relatively flat, and in the southeast corner stands the highest point in the continent of Tamriel, the Throat of the World. Snow City is a legendary traveler who found the location of the legendary mysterious bird-shaped stone statue ~ Sky Forge, so he established a city here.

"Ella, you're back from another mission, you've made a lot of money this time, aren't you?! It's really up to you to get rid of the bandits in the wilderness. "The huge city gate is brightly lit, illuminating the area of several hundred meters around the city gate, and you can see the crowd entering and exiting the city gate from afar, so as to prevent the enemy's attack and sneak attack. A city guard, smiling, walked over and greeted the female archer at the head of the line.

The city guards are the guards who guard the city walls and security, and their attire is similar to that of the guards patrolling back and forth on the main roads outside the city, but the accessories are more sophisticated, after all, they represent the image of the city, and all the city guards have the coat of arms of the snow-covered city painted on their shields, a snow-white horse's head.

"It's true that we are tired today and need to rush back to rest. Ella said briefly.

"Who is this mage?" the city guard asked Lu Xihua suspiciously, a strange man who looked like a foreigner.

"He's a lightning destroyer who just killed a mad giant outside the city. Your winnings can be increased quite a bit this week. "Farkas often goes out of the city on missions, and he is familiar with these city guards. The proceeds of the robbers and beasts killed in the city defense and the suburbs of the city, these guards have a share, and there are many of them, which is also one of the reasons why they are so actively involved in the management of urban security.

"Oh, thank you so much! It's rare to see a young and powerful mage like you!" As soon as the city guards heard that this young man had killed a giant, they immediately knew that the young man's combat power was very high, and that this kind of giant would not dare to be easily provoked without thirty well-trained guards working together, not to mention, the giants were often accompanied by their pet mammoths, which were fierce beasts standing at the top of the food chain in the sky, and when they moved, they were simply moving city walls. Huge mammoth tusks, thick hair, and bathtub-sized hooves are all things that adults often refer to when they scare children, and they are also the nightmares that linger in their childhood dreams. If you encounter a mammoth in the wild, expect your legs to grow a little longer!

"Mage, please come in!" the city guards politely moved out of the way, and through the heavy city gate, Lu Xihua finally had a chance to observe the whole picture of the city in the Elder Scrolls, the famous city in Skyrim, and also the player's novice village, Snow City.

Built on a hill that winds from bottom to top, the city is divided into three districts. At the bottom of the area is called the Wilderness District, which is home to a variety of shops and houses, and is the place with the highest concentration of commerce, so named because of its proximity to the large plains outside the city walls. In the middle is called the Wind Zone, where the mansions of the rich and powerful, the temple in the city and the headquarters of the Brothers-in-Arms are also there, and there are often strong mountain winds, but the scenery here is excellent, and people can freely choose the location to enjoy the nature and vastness of the entire Snow Manling. The top layer is called the Cloud District, where the palace of the lord of Snow Man City is located, and where the entire city government offices are located, and there are often white clouds fluttering near the palace.

When Lu Xihua entered, it was already deep, the street lights were lit up in the spacious streets, and countless people came out of their homes and poured into the square, which was the most lively place at night, and where the banner of Lu Xihua's destination mare was located.
