Lost Narrative Poetry

Today is a nice sunny day in Xueman City. The warm sunshine is shining down, and the clear water of Baihe River is rushing, circling Xueman City in a large circle, and then running into the distance.

The large plains outside the city have been cleared, leaving only a few places where the remains and traces of the past wars can be seen. Farm buildings have been re-erected, and many lands have resumed production.

Under the powerful ripening effect of the magic potion, each crop can mature in just a few days, and then be quickly harvested and replanted... Although it is not a long-term solution, it has greatly alleviated the problem. Snowman City was under pressure from the previous war.

On the western sentry tower of Snowrun City, a group of heavily armed guards were observing the surroundings at the top of the tower, chatting and bragging.

"I often think that maybe I am also a dragonborn, but I haven't discovered it."

"Come on, the mage has gone to slay the dragon with the group of adventurers, and we are still here as guards."

"That's right, if you were a Dragonborn, you wouldn't be standing in this guard tower with us now..."

“I used to be an adventurer like the rest of them, until I took an arrow in the knee.”

The topic unknowingly turned to the one thing that men desire most, whether they are teenagers or adults. That's right, regarding the legendary sight of dragon slaying, they all wished they could replace the powerful hero in the story.

It would be fine if it was just a mere rumor and fantasy, but haven't there been enough things that happened in this year?

First, the return of the legendary dragon to Skyrim, and then the emergence of the last Dragonborn, especially the latter, a savior hero of unknown origin and possessing the power of the Dragonborn, who arrived in an accidental collision. Skyrim province, and was inadvertently rescued by his mortal enemy Alduin. From then on, he began his legendary adventure to defeat Alduin, save Skyrim and the entire world.

It sounds like this plot is extremely contrived, but it just happened.

Even the prophetic and lost people couldn't figure out the truth about the Dragonborn. They couldn't find out the truth no matter how hard they searched. This savior hero seemed to pop out from the cracks in the rocks. It seemed that he was an ordinary person. Some unknown force took over his body and became a dragonborn, and most of his previous memories were lost.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a protagonist template.

But these ordinary Skyrim people don't know. The only thing they know is that the Dragonborn was originally an ordinary person, but he was involved in the Imperial Legion to capture Ulfric Stormcloak when he crossed the border of Skyrim Province. During the ambush, he was captured along with Ulfric and many Stormcloak resistance generals, and was taken to the Holy Land Town for execution.

However, when he was about to be executed, the legendary World Devourer Alduin attacked Holy Land Town, and he just escaped being beheaded. After escaping, he accepted the entrustment of the villagers of Ximu Town and came to Snowman City to report the news.

Then a series of events happened, and finally he successfully slayed the dragon and absorbed the dragon soul, and then his identity as the Dragonborn was proven.

These Xueman City guards didn't think so much. They only knew that the dragonborn's background was very close to theirs. He was not a heroic warrior who was born noble or already famous.

Rather, he was an ordinary person who transformed into a legendary hero because of an unexpected encounter...

It really gave them a sense of immersion and made them feel very envious. Moreover, dragon slaying and the like were not simply hearsay, but a major event that actually happened and they witnessed with their own eyes.

Not to mention the dragonborn who had slain a dragon for the first time a long time ago, not long ago, Snowman City also killed another attacking dragon... These were all things they had witnessed, and it was normal to have fantasies. one thing.

After all, I have been standing guard here at the Western Watch Tower, and there is no other entertainment at all.

"Speaking of which, the mage seems to have set out to slay the dragon half a month ago, and he hasn't come back yet. Could it be that something happened?"

As he was talking, a guard seemed to remember something and looked worriedly in a certain direction. Half a month ago, he saw with his own eyes the mysterious and powerful mage leading a team out of the city. Leave in that direction.

It's been so long, and until now, they haven't been seen back, which makes him a little worried.

"Come on, you haven't been there at all, so I don't know how far it is. It will take five or six days on the way, and it will take five or six days to come back. Isn't it normal that the mage hasn't come back yet?"

Another veteran guard who seemed to have been to the mine there was not panicked at all and said slowly -

"And aren't there those strange people following behind? Although their identities are questionable, their abilities are beyond question. One person is at least worth a hundred of us, so there is nothing to worry about. "

"That's right..." The guard who spoke before thought about it and thought it made sense. He nodded subconsciously and moved his sore neck vigorously. He looked in the direction of Xueman City out of the corner of his eye.

In the Yunding District, there is the towering and majestic Longxiao Palace palace complex, which is as majestic as ever.

Among the surrounding palaces, there is a strange tower-like building that appeared at some point. It reflects dazzling light under the sun, and is yellow and clear, seeming to be the luster of copper, and also like flowing gold.

For a moment, he seemed to have an illusion, always feeling that the tower was more majestic than the Throat of the World in the distance, as if it was the center of the entire world, and all the power in the world was faintly condensed, unable to flow on it. interest.

It seemed like a great spectacle that ran through the origin and end and contained all the mysteries of the world. His mind was completely lost for a moment, and he even had the urge to kneel down and worship with tears in his eyes.

"Huh? When did a new tower be built in the city..."

As a guard of Snowrun City, this person naturally has a high level of education, and can at least understand the contents of announcements or bounty orders, but this is just the limit. You want to expect him to blurt out his words immediately, with witty remarks, and use a lot of gorgeous words. The words describe the tower with no hesitation in praise.

Or maybe he was in high spirits and recited two lines of poetry on the spot. These are all impossible...

He didn't even understand the reason for the urge to cry in his heart. He was just surprised and subconsciously stopped all movements and wanted to rub his eyes, but was blocked by the helmet.

After such a delay, when he raised his head again, he found that that direction was still the palace complex of Longxiao Palace. The outline of the building was something he had seen countless times in the past, and he was already familiar with it. Couldn't be more familiar.

Although it is majestic, majestic and magnificent, there is no golden tower towering into the sky at all. It is surrounded by the surrounding buildings in the center like stars over the moon.

"..."

"..."

"Where is it? You have to find a good reason to lie to people, right?" The others squinted their eyes and stared for a long time, then turned back to look at the guy who opened his mouth and cast suspicious eyes.

"Maybe... I saw it wrong." Even the guard was a little unsure. He raised his fist and knocked on his helmet in confusion. Was there something wrong with his eyes or was he rubbing them too much?

"Wait a minute, look over there, it seems like our people are back? Is it Master Mage and the others?"

At this time, someone saw a neat team appearing at the end of the road in the distance. After watching carefully, he took a breath of air and his tone of voice changed——

"...Oh my God, they seem to have really killed another dragon. I saw the head of the big lizard!"

…

…

When the team entered the city, they deliberately placed the specially chopped dragon head on a cart and pushed it in.

Snowman City was crowded with people, and people lined up on both sides to welcome him. They couldn't wait to see the birth of another heroic epic of dragon slaying. Originally, the legend of Longxiao Palace in Snowman City was enough for people to talk about it.

But in the current era, three actual examples of dragon slaying have occurred in succession. It seems that this era is more dire than the historical era where the legendary Nord hero King Olaf the One-Eyed lived. Even the giant dragons were killed one after another. of massacre.

The people don't consider the influence of various factors, and they don't know that this is no longer the age of mythology. The so-called slaughtered dragons have already been undead for endless years, but they were reborn by Alduin. Awakening to resurrection...

Even if there are insiders, they will not take the initiative to come forward to popularize science. After all, why do we need to popularize science? It's hard to say that the people won't believe it, and explaining such a thing will do them no good at all.

Xueman City is in urgent need of such a cardiotonic. The people only need to know that Xueman is very powerful and can cope with all crises, and that's all.

"Mage? Mage!"

Xia Ran rode a pony and walked slowly at the end of the team, listening to the cheers and shouts of the people in front and on both sides like a landslide and tsunami, looking absent-minded.

On the way back just now, when he crossed the last hillside and saw Xueman City, he seemed to see a golden tower, which directly caught his eye from a distance.

It's hard to explain clearly what it felt like. To be precise, it wasn't because the tower was too obvious for him to see directly, but... the moment he saw it, he felt that he seemed to have seen the truth. materialized, and wonderful wisdom began to surge in my mind.

In just a short moment, he felt as if he had understood something, but he couldn't tell what information he had received.

Moreover, I don't know if he was hallucinating, but just for a moment, the tower disappeared.

From the time he came back to Xueman City, he stared at the Yunding District very carefully. Unfortunately, he could not see the shadow of the tower again...

"Mage?"

Um? Xia Ran's absent-minded state was broken and she looked up at the vampire lady next to her. She had already put on the space suit again.

He asked casually: "What's wrong?"

"We are going to go directly to the lord to collect the reward, and then go to the Sky Forge. Do you want to come with us?"

the vampire girl asked.
