Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

"This is what the Nanya steward asked me to pass on to you. You see, the wax seal is still intact. I didn't peek. You are really promising, young man. Even the lord has heard of you. What do you think? Are you really not going to consider my Nari?"

I fiddled with the letter in my hand. The envelope was made of kraft paper, of good quality, and the back was sealed with wax. The stamped pattern on the top was a stag's head, the symbol of the Lord of Falkreath. Sidger also came to visit, and things became interesting. It was daytime, and the inn was empty. I didn't want to listen to the landlady's promotion of her precious daughter, so I escaped under the pretext of shopping. Nari was lying on the railing at the door of the inn in a daze. When she saw me come out, her face turned red again, "Don't listen to Varga's nonsense. I really want to go out with you, but I can't just leave her alone..." The girl's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, lowering her head and fiddling with the hem of her skirt.

"Can you help me deliver a message to Lord Danger?"

Nari nodded and ran off like a little rabbit, and I returned to my room and opened the letter from Sidger.

"Lokker, I am Sidgeir, Lord of Falkreath. I have heard some things about you. I hope you can come to see me when you come to Falkreath again, and we can see if the rumors are true."

Is he going to hire me to deal with the bandits that he is entangled with? But why did Sidgel come to me? He notified me through the inn, and my public identity here is just a fur trader. How can I hire a trader to deal with bandits? Has my identity as a bandit been exposed? Then why not just arrest him? Or is he trying to find out my background? I met Danger the first time I came here. Sidgel is a usurper. No matter how useless he is, he will know to guard against his uncle, right? Is it a Hongmen Banquet? Will the swordsmen wait for me to enter the door? Now that I am in a different world, I suddenly feel that the Dragonborn in the game is so reckless. If anyone sends a letter, he will come to the door obediently; if he hears any strange talk in the tavern, he will run over to verify it. With such a tiger, he can actually become the savior of the world, the terminator of the civil war, and the head of the four major guilds. I can only say that the protagonist's halo is too powerful.

Danger came soon, and I quickly let him in. Nari served the wine and food and left, closing the door behind him. The little girl treated us as her gods of wealth, serving us attentively and appropriately. The old fox looked kind, as if he was looking at his own nephew.

"Young man, do you have any good news this time?"

I opened my palm and took out a black and red stone ball with a diameter of four centimeters. This was Vighar's Philosopher's Stone. Someone had stolen it, which led to the resurrection of the vampire. After the fierce battle, I found this object on his body. Danger took the Philosopher's Stone, examined it carefully, and then put it in his arms, and then asked how the vampire's body was dealt with.

"This thing is too conspicuous. We have already buried it. We will just hand it over to the adults once the transaction is completed."

"You are quite cautious, young man. Well, let's talk business. Last time you mentioned your mistress, but as far as I know, there are no unmarried young ladies among the nobles of the nine territories, so I would like to guess that she is a commoner, right?"

"Haha, sir, the mistress's status is not as good as Alessia's. Her father is a veteran, just like Tiber Septim." Danger's words made me frown. We didn't have the idea of ​​winning the position of Lord of Falkreath, but the old man used his status to pressure me and successfully attracted my attention. As the saying goes, a hero is not judged by his origin. I deliberately mentioned two kings of humble origins. Queen Alessia was born a slave, and eventually led humans to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the elves and established the Cyrodiil Empire. Tiber even became a saint in the flesh and turned into Talos, for whom countless Nords fight today. Don't you want to compare your origins, old thing? Come on, you curse Talos as a mud-legged false god, but I recognize that your status as a blue-blooded noble is different! As for whether Rigel's father is a veteran, I don't know. Anyway, let's pull Tiber in first. The old man can't go to Morningstar City to confront someone.

"But Saint Alessia and Talos are both blessed by the Holy Spirit and are the chosen ones of God."

"Ha! I thought you were from an extraordinary family and had extraordinary knowledge, but I didn't expect you were just like that. You were fooled by those spineless writers who flattered others with the style of the Spring and Autumn Annals, right? These two are not cowards who rely on the care of the Holy Spirit to be invincible. On the contrary, they are successful in their careers and that's why they are favored by the Holy Spirit!" How funny? You are confusing cause and effect. I played it very well on the Internet in my previous life. How dare you, an old man, show off your skills in front of an expert?

"Even if you don't consider family background, your mistress can't get the position of lord just by marrying me."

"Why? Elisif just..."

"Lord Blond Elisif."

"She just..."

"Young man, I acknowledge your ability and courage, but if you want to get involved in politics, you'd better abide by some basic rules! Lord Blond Elisif." Danger's tone was very tough this time, as if this title had touched his bottom line.

"Well, Lord Elisif the Fair-haired became Lord of Solitude after High King Torig died."

"High King Torig has no heirs, and Lord Elisif the Fair-haired's father was one of the elders of the Lords' Council. Baroness White Spirit is her cousin, and High King Torig is her cousin. Otherwise, how do you think she, a girl under 20 years old, was able to sit on that chair?"

"This……"

"If my father had not died while Tager was participating in the World War and his life or death was uncertain, I would not have had the chance to become the lord. His son is the only heir of the family. I cannot bear to see Sidgeir harming Falkreath, but I will not kill him either. I am old, and the position of lord will be his sooner or later..."

This is too embarrassing. Is it true that after all the trouble, I ended up with nothing? Speaking of Sidger, I took out the letter and showed it to Danger. The old fox shook his head after reading it. "I don't know why he wants to see you, but this is a formal invitation from a lord. If you don't go to see him, it means you are his enemy. Time is running out. I'm leaving now."

Danger grabbed the saber-tooth tiger skin, stood up and left the room. At the door, he handed me a small bag of gold coins and said, "Young man, I'll take the tiger skin, but don't show me the common wolf skin. Go find Rod and ask him if he wants it. It's very dangerous to walk around empty-handed like you do these days. Go and tell Rod that you want to buy a good sword. He opens at eight o'clock every morning."

What does the old fox mean by this? Hasn't he always suspected that Rhodes had colluded with the Empire and betrayed him?
