Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense! I... I'll go call the brothers over." Cindy was so scared that she quickly denied it three times and found an excuse to get away. Rigel had already thought of letting her take the blame, and it would be bad if she took advantage of the situation. Which decent girl would be willing to marry a second-generation idiot who would only ruin the family?

I struggled to get up and apologized to Danger, "The situation was urgent just now, and I didn't have time to introduce you to my lord. This is my mistress, Rigel Strongarm." Danger and Rhodes obviously didn't expect that the heavy armored warrior in front of them, who was as tall and strong as an orc and had a hideous scar on his face, was actually a woman. The old fox was very well-educated after all. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately nodded and smiled, "The old man's eyes are blurry, please don't be offended, Miss Rigel." After that, he glanced at me meaningfully. Rigel has always been disgusted with these false courtesies, and just nodded as a return gesture. I hurried out to smooth things over, "The lord is still upstairs, let's go see him."

Sidger was very excited when he saw Danger coming. After I untied the ropes, he pulled the rag out of his mouth and started shouting.

"Uncle, Rod, you are here! Catch them quickly, they killed..." Before he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that Danger was our friend rather than our enemy, so he quickly closed his mouth with a look of horror on his face.

"My Lord, please follow me." Although Danger's steps were frivolous, he still led Sidger to the top of the sentry tower, and the two looked at the city of Falkreath in the distance. The light from the torches was swaying, and Skuna was nowhere to be seen. Sindin's headless body was kneeling on the ground, and many soldiers were lying there motionless. The city was dead silent.

"My lord, do you know that the envoy sent by the Empire, Skuna, is a werewolf? The murderer Sinding who was captured a few days ago is also a werewolf. Skuna is hiding among us, firstly to seize a werewolf secret treasure from Sinding, and secondly to wait for an opportunity to harm you. I only learned of his evil plot a few days ago, thanks to the brave Miss Rigel and her loyal servant Locke."

Danger raised his hand and pointed, and Sidger looked back and forth at us with a puzzled look on his face, as if trying to figure out which one was the brave lady.

"It happened so hastily, and Schooner colluded with Helward to kill the lord. We had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and invite the lord to take shelter here temporarily. These children were afraid that you would not trust them, so they took risks and did something rash. You have been wronged. Why don't you come over and apologize to the lord?"

Rigel snorted coldly, and said, "I'll have to apologize for you." Hearing this, Sidgel was so scared that he burst into tears and felt like a sieve. He hugged Danger's arm and shouted, "Uncle, I don't want to be the lord anymore! I don't want to be the lord anymore! Why don't you do it?"

The old fox's face was full of kindness and doting. He gently stroked the back of his nephew's hand and said slowly: "Uncle and your father are old. Sooner or later, you will have to shoulder this burden. Don't be afraid! We will all help you! This Miss Rigel saved your life. In my opinion, you two should get married. With a virtuous wife like her, we old guys can rest assured."

Danger said this nonsense so fluently that if we were not all accomplices, we would have been moved to tears by the warm and harmonious scene before our eyes, especially when Rigel, a human-shaped mammoth, was called a "good wife". I was really impressed by the thick skin of the old fox. Sidgel was naturally unwilling. As a lord, it was a shame to marry a commoner, not to mention that she was so ugly!

"There's no need to...get married, right? I can give them money. How much do you want? Just tell me!"

"Although my mistress is quite wealthy and doesn't need this little money, since the Lord has said so, it would be disrespectful to refuse. So please name a price. Give us what you think your life is worth."

Rigel was almost vomiting from the performance of the uncle and nephew, and didn't want to pay any attention to them. I took over the conversation and acted like "the lady was very angry but reserved, and the servant was so angry that he stood up for the master." No one with a serious brain problem would do such a thing as putting a price on one's life, and I also revealed the news that "the lady is quite rich." A vulgar person like Sidgell naturally couldn't understand things like "tying grass and rings" and "holding cases and eyebrows together". His so-called marriage was nothing more than caring about money, power and sex. The words power and sex were not related to Rigel, so I had to bring up the word money.

As the sky gradually brightened, we saw Cindy leading a dozen brothers to come over from the sentry tower. Sidgel also understood that if he refused to marry Rigel, things would not be resolved peacefully. He sighed and accepted his fate. The sun had not yet risen completely, and the emerald on his crown shone brightly in the dim morning light.

The scene in Falkreath was very miserable. After the transformation, Schooner carried out a bloody massacre, and the cruel nature of the werewolves resulted in almost no intact corpses at the scene. The number of victims exceeded 30, most of whom were soldiers. The incident happened in the second half of the night. Most residents were in their houses. Only a few unlucky people with small courage and brains came out to watch the excitement, and ended up losing their lives. Among them was Thoraf's younger brother Brende. This guy is also a black-faced and foul-mouthed guy in the game, but he didn't show any extraordinary performance in front of the werewolves. His body was squatting in the corner facing the wall, his hands still holding his head, his back was torn open, and the water flowed all over the ground. It was obvious that he was slaughtered without any resistance. I really don't know where his courage to defy the heavens and the earth has gone. Even if you can turn around and curse a few words, I will respect you as a man.

Danger found Nanya and organized people to clean up the scene and confirm the identities of the victims. He then called the residents to give a speech. The gist of the speech was that Schooner was a werewolf hiding in the city. Now that his identity was exposed and he was on the run, everyone could kill him. Rigel was a hero who exposed his dirty identity and protected the safety of the lord. In the future, he would be stationed in Helgen as an officer of Falkreath. Then he announced some follow-up measures, such as enforcing a curfew, searching for the murderer, and offering rewards for clues. The victims included residents of the city, and most of the soldiers were locals. Such a tragic murder case caused public outrage. Walder spoke on behalf of the hunters, expressing his willingness to assist the lord in scouting for clues. The woodcutters and blacksmiths also said that they would no longer supply the empire. Thoraf even suggested joining the Stormcloak camp. Danger greatly admired their loyalty and bravery, but also said that the werewolves were cruel and cunning, and they were in the dark. The army had just suffered a heavy blow and was still struggling to defend the city, so they must act carefully and not lose their lives in vain because of their eagerness for revenge.

After spending a whole morning arranging various matters, the old fox led Nanya, Rigel and me into the lord's longhouse. Sidgel and Tagel, father and son, were already waiting, and the meeting to decide the future fate of Falkreath was about to be held.
