The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 20th, 10:00——

The early morning silence of the Yuevaska longhouse is usually broken by the sound of fighting. Newcomers to the comrades-in-arms group disagree with each other, or veterans compete with each other. Those who can hurt their opponents will use weapons, and the sound of fists, feet or weapons hitting can make everyone sleepless.

"Get up, you little slob, I'm going to clean the bed." Apart from those voices, what woke Arthur up was a broom hitting him.

This is an old lady wearing a dark yellow sarong, with snow-white hair and wrinkled face, but very bright eyes.

"Oh, Aunt Tilma, it's not that you don't know how powerful Cisco is." Arthur rubbed his head and got up, yawning: "No one told me that the trial for joining the group can be over in one round. "

Since Arthur defeated the mighty Cisco Yue head-on, and he was good at communicating with others, he got acquainted with most of his comrades in just one night, although Nicada still seemed a little dissatisfied with him.

"Hmph, that's why I woke you both up last," said Tilma. Although she can only do some chores in Yuevaska due to her old age, she was also a member of the Comrades when she was young, and she also had the title "Wild Eagle" , I don’t know whether to praise her for her sharp eyes or her vigorous skills: "Even if Kraco singles out forty orcs, he has to get up obediently the next day. Now, get out of this bed."

"Okay, okay." Arthur raised his hands in surrender, turned over and got out of bed to put on his iron armor. After all, it is more troublesome to put on and take off the full body armor. If there is any emergency, it may be too late to equip it. A brand-new set of steel armor was found on the armor stand of the iron armor. Compared with the shabby iron armor, fur padding and coverage were added, and the appearance was also much more beautiful.

"The iron armor you wore before was taken from the robbers, and I have asked Erindir to melt down the pile of garbage," Tilma said while making the bed: "And you are not going to see Balgu today. Is that old stuff from my husband? If you dress better, you will be looked down upon."

Those who are qualified to call Snowman Lord "The Great" Balgruuf an old thing may not be enough for the entire Snowman City. Arthur smiled wryly and began to put on brand new steel armor.

——10:30——

I don't know if it's breakfast or lunch, Arthur and Farkas walked out of the main entrance of the longhouse after a simple meal in the Moonvaska Hall.

After chatting with his comrades, Arthur learned that the comrades-in-arms group is quite well-known in the sky. If ordinary civilians have any troubles or difficulties, if they cannot ask the guards for help, they will usually ask the comrades-in-arms group to help, from exorcising wild beasts to quelling battles, and even Elimination of robbers is all-encompassing, but the comrades-in-arms group also has certain rules for accepting commissions, that is, there must be tangible evidence to prove that they will pose a threat. For example, the giants before would steal yaks and may hurt farmers. Generally, hunting giants is required. commissions will not be accepted.

Because of this, Arthur, who got up later, saw almost no one else in Yuehuascan. Except for some members of the comrade-in-arms group who still needed to be trained, there were only the two of them and Cisco Yue, and everyone else had already gone out to carry out the commission.

"Farkas, are you familiar with Lord Xueman? What attitude should I adopt when I go to see him?" Arthur asked his fellow comrade.

"Then you are asking the right person," Farkas patted his chest: "Our three brothers, Wilkas and Wells inherited Sgrammer's offense and defense, and I inherited his wisdom."

Hmm... Arthur looked at him suspiciously. Sgrammer and the five hundred heroes already belonged to the legends, but there was no story where Sgrammer showed his wisdom. It was always to lay the groundwork for some elves' plots first, and then Sgrammer Grammer uttered a battle cry and rushed up with Wuslad in his hands and beat them to pieces.

Although it sounds very relieved to the Nords who are dissatisfied with the elves, this hero is completely portrayed as a reckless man, so his wisdom...

"Lord Balgruf's wife died young, leaving him with three children. Even with the help of a maid, the Lord must have had a hard time taking care of them," Farkas said: "So, we should show An image of an adult who is stable, confident, and able to stand alone, rather than a little devil with hands and feet, will get a good impression."

Sounds surprisingly reasonable? Arthur looked at him in surprise.

"I think what Wilkas said is very reasonable," Farkas added.

Well, sure enough, Arthur shrugged: "So, you are also going to see the lord?"

"I want to give a sword to the lord's steward, and pass a word by the way." Farkas patted his shoulder, and behind him hung a sword with many hollow patterns and beautiful lines, which was more like an ornament than a weapon. two-handed sword.

"Master Graymane's work? Let me finish this job by the way." Arthur frowned at the flashy two-handed sword.

"This is a commission. It seems to be initiated by the blacksmith shop in the plain area. The client said that she 'doesn't want to go to Yunxiao Palace to avoid seeing annoying people'" Farkas said while stroking the short beard on his chin.

nasty person? At this time, the two had passed through half of the winding area, and were heading towards the uphill section leading to Longxiao Palace in Yunding District.

"Do you often go to Yunding District?" At this time, a man wearing luxurious clothes and a beautiful plush hat, with slender eyebrows and fine eyes who looked very conceited, was walking down the stone steps leading to Dragon Cloud Palace, using a little The sharp voice asked Arthur and Farkas questions, and before they could answer, he asked himself: "Oh, what am I talking about, you must not go there often."

"Annoying person?" "Annoying person." Arthur and Farkas looked at each other and reached a consensus, while the guy who felt good about himself walked past them.

"Ha!" "FUS!" The two suddenly yelled behind the man at the same time, the voice was so loud that it even created a wave of anger, and the man in the costume who was frightened by the shout immediately ran away with his head in his arms: "No! I surrender !"

"Citizen, you were fined 5 gold coins for yelling in public and frightened nobleman Nachim." The Xueman guard who had been watching the scene near the stone steps came over and said to Arthur.

"What? Isn't it 40?" Farkas, who had already started digging through his pockets, raised his head in a daze.

"That's because you're just making noise, Mr. Farkas, if Mr. Nachim turns around and complains directly, we must deal with it fairly," the guard's eyes were blocked by the helmet, but Arthur could feel his admiration for himself: "And this gentleman issued the traditional Nord battle cry, Mr. Nachim will be terrified for at least half a day, so only the minimum punishment for using force in the city."

"Hehe, thank you," Arthur stopped Farkas from taking out the money, and took out 5 gold coins and handed them to the guards: "We are going to meet the lord. I wonder if the lord has started working?"

"Go up," the guard said as he moved out of the way, "Your lord should have just arrived at the council hall."

——11:00——

An extremely tall three-story building monopolizes the entire Yunding area. It is said that the ancient hero "One-eyed Olaf" once imprisoned his old enemy, the dragon "Numinax", hence the name "Dragons Reach" (Dragons Reach) .

The place where it was originally used to restrain the giant dragon has been converted into a barracks, and the remaining part has been subsequently converted into the residence of the lord, the mage tower that imprisoned the court mage, and the council hall for receiving nobles and courtiers. Even so, the whole building is still It was so empty that Arthur and Farkas who entered the gate could even hear the echo of the lord and his steward arguing.

"Because of Helgen's incident, the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks are at war with each other. We must strengthen the defense of the surrounding towers. If any party takes advantage of it, your neutral policy will be completely bankrupt." Dressed luxuriously, and bald, looking said the Steward, who looked nothing like a Nord.

"Concentrate the guards on the military? Then what are you going to do with the civilians in towns, villages, and farms?" Lord Balgruuf the Great looks like a typical Nord, with a very resolute appearance, with hair and beard all It is bright gold, wearing a bright yellow fur robe similar to a guard, with a sapphire headband on its forehead.

He was sitting on a tall chair leaning against the wall, and there was a specimen of a giant dragon's skull hanging on the wall, perhaps it was the head of the ancient dragon Numinex, and it was also the reason why the villagers of Ximu Town were concerned about the appearance of the dragon. The source of confidence to report to the lord after the dragon.

"Maybe it can be handed over to the comrade-in-arms group?" The manager looked towards the door: "Recently, they have almost replaced the original guard."

"They will only act after the damage is done, and what the Xueman guards have to do is to prevent that loss." The lord looked at Arthur and Farkas: "Come closer and talk."

Arthur followed Farkas and approached the lord, while paying attention to the surrounding environment.

Longxiao Palace also has a huge firepit, and on both sides of the firepit are neat tables and chairs. Maybe it's not the time for political discussions, and I didn't see too many nobles and courtiers. The tall Nord who was the lord's guard poured himself a drink, and beside the lord and the steward stood a dark-skinned female dark elf. She looked very slender, but her eyes were very sharp. The sword also proves that she is by no means an opponent to be taken lightly.

"Mr. Proventus Avinci, this is a two-handed sword made by your daughter," Farkas said to the lord's supervisor first: "She said that the lord probably wouldn't like such a flashy weapon, so you should keep it for yourself. Works well."

Hey, what about being mature and stable? Arthur squinted at Farkas, that's not something that can be said publicly.

"This..." Manager Avinci took over the two-handed sword, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Hehe, Arid'an understands it quite well. I really don't like this kind of thing." Lord Balgruf chuckled.

"If you don't mind, I have other things to do." The manager twitched the corners of his mouth, glared at Farkas with a confused face, turned and left the council hall.

"Then, this warrior, your name is Arthur, right? This armor looks really energetic. Can you tell me in detail what happened to Helgen?" After sitting upright in a relaxed posture, he asked Arthur.

"Yes, at that time, Ulfric Stormcloak and I were locked in the same carriage—" Arthur thought for a moment, and began to elaborate on what happened to Helgen.
