The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 25th, 8:00——

If you want to cross the entire province of Skyrim from northwest to southeast, you can’t just walk. Because wild beasts and robbers are rampant, and the Empire and the Stormcloak may fight somewhere, the coachmen in major cities and villages only Provide the nearest transportation service. For example, the coachman in Solitary City is only willing to go to Dragon Bridge, Mosar City and Morning Star City. The fare per person ranges from 50 gold coins to 100 gold coins.

As for the rift valley that Princess Emilia wants to go to, she needs to transfer at least six times along the way. Even if the coachmen drive day and night, it will take at least four days to arrive.

Not long ago, Palasos desperately stopped the princess who was about to go out without taking anything as she was chasing General Tullius, and urgently arranged for a car, luggage, and refused to accompany Tacilius before driving away. Finally arrived at the richest village in Snowman's territory, Loristed.

Since Balgruuf the Great, the Lord of Whiterun, declared his neutrality in the civil war, neither the Imperial Legion nor the Stormcloaks were allowed to enter his territory, so the carriage with the imperial logo turned around, and Parathos went to Discuss with Old Lori about the requirement of hiring a carriage alone - even if the princess doesn't mind sitting in a carriage with commoners, in order to avoid the emperor's wrath, he dare not make such an arrangement.

"Ah, Sharp-Eyed Eagle, I know you, the Royal Guard." Old Lori is a typical Nord, bold and enthusiastic, with a loud voice. Since he participated in the war between the Empire and Thalmer and made outstanding achievements in battle, even if he is wearing The luxurious clothes can't cover up his evil spirit,

He is the owner of most of the land in Loristed. In this wealthy village that provides almost half of Xueman's food production, he is equivalent to the de facto lord. The place where the two are talking at this time is Loristed The largest, massive double-storey stone house known as "The Lori's Villa".

"Yes, as you can imagine, this carriage is for a member of the royal family. For safety reasons, we cannot crowd together with civilians." Parasos nodded, and at this time he could only talk to Lao Luo. Because the princess saw a pair of twin girls arguing before, she followed with interest.

In Palasos' view, safety is actually not a problem, but he is completely unclear about the standards of "killing" and "rescuing" the princess. If the princess is allowed to stay in the crowd, what might happen, and in the end I have to deal with the aftermath by myself. As for this generally rich farming village, there shouldn't be any accidents.

——8:30——

"I also want to be an adventurer like you, but Dad firmly opposes it."

"Ha, do you think it's easy for adventurers? If you don't have popularity, no one will be willing to do the work for you."

Loristed's inn is called "Ice Fruit" because the innkeeper, Mulaki, owns an orchard and there is a "ice fruit" in the menu.

As a famous food producing area, there are many merchants coming and going, so the business of the inn is also good, but Eric, the son of the innkeeper, is unwilling to farm the land or inherit the inn. His wish is to become an adventurer and start from a blacksmith. Jorick obtained an orc-style longsword, but since Mulaki disagreed, he could only use it to drive away vermin and wild animals in the farmland around the village.

Emilia was sitting in the hotel lobby, listening to two little girls arguing over whose fault it was that they didn't weed the fields in time, while watching Eric communicate with another "adventurer", of course, no one discover her existence.

This "adventurer" should have been active around Xueman all the time. If he went to the control area of ​​the Imperial Legion or Stormcloak, he would definitely be arrested, or at least beaten up.

Because he was wearing the mail armor of the Stormcloak, the helmet of the Imperial Legion, the shield with the emblem of the Stormcloak on his back, and the standard long sword of the Imperial Legion,

At first glance, it was the equipment that was found by picking up the leaks on the battlefield of both sides. If you don't beat him, beat anyone.

"We have been friends for many years, can you tell my father for me, looking at you, the adventurer is not dangerous, is it?" Eric said to the adventurer: "I can take this sword Change with you."

"Hey, don't think about it!" Before the adventurer answered, the boss behind the hotel counter, Mulaki, shouted from a distance: "Locker, you have been stealing since you were a child, and I don't know where you got this equipment Yes, I won't believe a word you say!"

"Hmph! Don't you know what happened to Helgen? A dragon attacked," the adventurer known as Rocker also retorted loudly: "And I fought that dragon and saved everyone. The equipment was given to me by them!"

"I can talk to you in a serious manner..." Mulaki shook his head, turned around and continued to pack the things on the counter.

"Well, Rocker, the story of the dragonborn who saved Helgen has reached Loristed." Eric patted Rocker on the shoulder: "After he brought the news to Snowman City Killed a dragon that attacked the western tower—didn't you know that?"

"I ran away patronizingly," Rocker blew the cowhide a little discouraged, but immediately cheered up: "I have been completing the tasks issued by Lord Falkreath for the past few days, so I don't know, you don't know, those How vicious are the bandits who occupied the 'coal mine'~"

This man was obviously still lying, and Emilia looked at Rocker who was beaming, but this time it seemed that no one could expose him.

"【choke—】" A huge roar resounded in the mid-air outside the hotel, causing the walls of the hotel to tremble.

"It's a dragon!?" Eric looked very surprised, got up and ran out: "If those guards in Snowman City can kill a dragon, then we can too! Rocker, let's go!"

"Of course! This is a good opportunity!" Rocker replied loudly, but instead of running out with Eric, he went deep into the hotel and hid.

"I think my son might be suitable for being an adventurer." Mulaki, who picked up the hatchet and buckler from behind the counter, snorted coldly as he passed by Rocker.

The Nords were indeed very belligerent. Emilia saw that all those capable of fighting had rushed out, and even the two little girls left behind were talking excitedly, so she tilted her head, opened the door and left. go out.

——9:00——

"【Hoo-aw-】"

As soon as Emilia walked out of the hotel, an icy blue dragon's breath came towards her. Although the icy breath failed to penetrate her armor at all, it did not prevent her from freezing the surrounding area and trapping her. inside.

After finishing this breath, the huge frost dragon suspended in the air turned around and attacked the other guards who were shooting with bows. As for the Nords who were holding melee weapons and bluffing, it was completely dismissive.

"Holy Spirit!" Parasos, who had just arrived from Lori's villa, was taken aback, and hurried to break the layer of ice.

"...Palasos." Although she was frozen in the ice, the princess didn't seem to panic, she just turned her head slightly to look at the sharp-eyed eagle guard.

"I'll rescue you right away!" Parathos slashed with several swords, and the ice cubes that were not strong in themselves shattered into pieces: "Please leave here first!"

Seeing that the princess took out a dagger and seemed ready to join the battle, he quickly stopped it. Although the princess is very powerful, this is a dragon. Sharp-eyed Eagle has never encountered such an enemy, and he cannot let it go without knowing its strength. The princess is in danger.

"...Then shoot it down." Emilia looked at the dagger in her hand, and seemed to realize that the weapon was not suitable, so she pointed to the bow and arrow behind Parathos.

That's not a bird... Parasos found that the princess didn't seem to intend to leave, so he had to resign himself to aiming with his bow, only to realize that within a short while, all the guards holding the bows were sprayed into ice blocks, and he was The last archer.

"【嗤——呵——]" A breath of ice dragon came oncoming.

"...you don't need to hide." Emilia swung her dagger and slashed at the dragon's breath, and it split into two halves from the middle, and the arrow shot by Parathos also hit its wings, and then It was bounced off without any suspense.

"[Wo——]" The Frost Dragon seemed to look at Parathos in surprise, and breathed out another mouthful of dragon breath, which still failed halfway and received another arrow. The roar of the dragon turned from surprise to anger, and suddenly slapped Wings descended towards the position of the two, as if intending to engage in close combat.

"Stop that lizard!" Although they didn't know how they did it, the other people who were in a daze because they had no long-range attack methods quickly reacted. Eric raised his orc sword and rushed towards the falling dragon. past.

"[Hoo-ga--]" The ice dragon swung its head and exhaled a semicircular breath forward, slowing down the speed of the affected person, while its tail swept away all those who tried to approach it from behind.

Other than the princess and the guards, the only one who was still able to move freely was Eric who rushed in front of them, but he didn't have any armor and only held a sword in one hand, which had almost no protection against the dragon's breath.

"Boy, catch it!" After being hit in the leg by the dragon's breath, Mulaki, who was struggling to move, threw his round shield over with his backhand.

"[Fu——]" The ice dragon breathed out again, this time Emilia didn't cut it open, because Eric had blocked it with the shield first, although the next moment he had to because of the whole body It was frozen and thrown away, but the young man who aspired to be an adventurer had already rushed in front of the dragon, and nimbly jumped onto the breathing head.

"Hit!" Parasus took advantage of the ice dragon's attention and shot an arrow, hitting the dragon's left eye.

"Die! Dragon!" Eric ruthlessly thrust the orc sword towards the dragon's forehead.

Mistake, Paraisos sighed in his heart, although he saw a dragon for the first time, but the skull of this lizard is the hardest, and so on——

Click!

Frost Dragon's huge head slowly slid down.

"Your Highness?" Parasos turned his head to look at Emilia, and she really returned to that faintly invisible form, and it seemed that she didn't intend to compete for the title of dragon slayer.

"Cut, I can't absorb it..." "Hey, I always thought that I was also a dragonborn, but I just didn't find it." The body of this ice dragon attracted the attention of the entire Loristed residents, and many people even came here They planned to "absorb the dragon soul", but all failed.

"Mulaki, I think your son is very good." Old Lori praised Eric, who was still confused: "I know, you don't let him go out to take risks because you think that poor equipment will be dangerous. In this way, I will give him my original set of armor and weapons, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Thank you..." Eric thanked quickly.

"Haha, you must spread the name of 'Eric the Dragon Slayer'." Old Lori patted him on the shoulder.

As for the real dragon slayer, he has already left in the newly purchased carriage.
