Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

"Luo Ke! What are you looking at? Come over here and give me a hand!"

The trunk of the van was open, and a girl with a ponytail was pulling a large box of cabbages down.

"Here comes Sister Dajuan! Hey, aren't you going back to your hometown to get married?"

"Marry you!" Zheng Juan raised her hand and gave me a slap. She was the boss's distant niece, a few years younger than me. After graduating from vocational high school, she followed Lao Zheng to work. After the small restaurant closed down, her hometown arranged a marriage for her, and she returned home to live a simple life. Speaking of this, didn't the restaurant close down? Why did I come back to work?

Lao Zheng came out from the driver's seat, put out the cigarette in his hand, and came over to help move the food. "Da Luo, is the kitchen ready? You and Lao Zhao go back and clean up the food. Da Juanzi, you guys tidy up the front. We can finally open the restaurant. If we wait a few days, I'll be out of money."

The six of them worked hard for the whole morning, and the small restaurant was clean and tidy, but no customers came. Old Zheng received a phone call, and his face immediately fell. "Fuck! Something happened again! Close the business!"

This……

The six people sat in a circle, and Lao Zheng and Lao Zhao smoked one cigarette after another. Soon the whole room was filled with smoke. Zheng Juan couldn't stand the choking, so she dragged the other two girls outside. The two of them smoked a pack of soft white sand, and Lao Zhao stood up and walked to the kitchen, "We can't leave the vegetables like that, we have to put them away."

"What the hell! Who knows how long I'll be locked up this time? I'm broke, and I can't do this business anymore."

Lao Zhao froze in place, not knowing whether to leave or stay. I hurried over to smooth things over, "Come on, Master. I'll help you pack up."

The moment I stepped into the kitchen, the scenery shook and I found myself walking into the restaurant's lobby again. The electric fan was shaking weakly, stirring the hot and humid air. Lao Zheng was sitting behind a table with a tired look on his face, pointing at the chair opposite him.

"Big Luo, Uncle Zheng can't hold on any longer. While I still have some money, I'll give some to you guys. This is yours, don't think it's too little." He handed me a thin envelope and said, "I'll sell the things in this room later and see if I can give you some more."

I took the envelope, stood up and walked out woodenly. Lao Zheng called me again, "Don't tell those girls how much money they got. I'll give them even less." After saying that, he waved his hands, curled up in the chair and rubbed his face.

Outside, the sky was clear and blue. The streets, which used to be bustling with traffic, were now exceptionally deserted. Zheng Juan was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. When she saw me come out, she quickly waved to me.

"The bus service has been suspended, what are you waiting for?"

"Really? I was wondering why the car hasn't come for a long time. Oh, by the way, my hometown asked me to go back and get married. My classmate's cousin said he's a civil servant."

"Oh, are you coming back?"

"I guess I won't come back. If my fourth uncle quits, why would I come back?"

Neither of us spoke anymore. We just stood silently in the shade of the station, avoiding the scorching sun. Oh no, the bus has stopped running. Why are we still waiting here?

"How about riding a bike?"

"What do you mean by riding a bike? Not riding a horse?"

Zheng Juan's voice suddenly changed. I looked up quickly and saw Rigel in steel armor, holding a war hammer upside down, looking at the sign in confusion. "What the hell is written on this sign?"

The streets and platforms twisted and spun rapidly along with Rigel. The sunlight became extremely dazzling, and the whole world burst into colorful light, like a scene in a kaleidoscope. After the world spun around, I knelt on the cold ground, gasping for breath, and a soul stone next to me emitted a lavender light.

What just happened was a dream?

Or was everything I experienced in Skyrim just a dream?

"Your dream is very interesting, Rocco. Become my priest, take up my staff, and I will grant you the power to make your dreams come true!"

Valmina's voice is so beautiful, and it has a special power that bewitches people, making people want to get close to her. After living in Skyrim for a long time, I suddenly saw my old friends in my previous life in my dreams, and returned to the world I have lived in for decades. Everything is so vivid and fascinating. I even want to convince myself that the dream just now is real, but Rigel... everything about Rigel and me is also real! I shook my head and felt even more dizzy. I just listened to the words of the demon god, especially a guy like Valmina who is used to playing with people's hearts. I don't know what traps he might dig for me.

After taking the glowing soul stone, the magic barrier was closed. Yilandur and others saw from my pale face that the dream journey might not be very pleasant.

"You guys go inside first, I want to..."

Riya took a step back and jumped up. Yilandur was still a little slow to dodge, and a lot of it splashed on his clothes. As the contents of my stomach were emptied, I slowly recovered from the dizziness brought by walking in the dream. The group met Weiren and Turek in the depths of the Temple of Nightcalling. Yilandur and these two are old acquaintances. When brothers meet, they are particularly jealous. The two sides met with swords. Four people against two people, I have the advantage. The last guardian of the rotten skull was also knocked down, and Yilandur began to cast the exile spell.

"Rocco! Don't you want to return to that dream world?! Kill Ilandur and his followers, pick up the skull, and you will have the power to travel freely between the two worlds! Kill him! Valmina orders you!"

I don't believe you, you old bitch are so bad! I turned my head to look at Noel and found that he was also staring at me. We both turned to Riya at the same time. The Red Guardian's double swords were already half unsheathed!

Mist grass!

Noel and I pounced on Riya at the same time, and the three of us wrestled together. If we were to fight face to face, we might not be able to subdue her, but Riya was bewitched by Valmina and all her attention was on Ilandur. I had rich experience in hand-to-hand combat, and after the sneak attack, I skillfully pinned her legs down with a hawk flip. The female warrior was quite strong, but she was far inferior to Rigel. Noel clamped her hands and pressed her to the ground above her head. Ilandur ended the spell and looked at the three of us with a strange expression.

Uh... this look... is a bit embarrassing...

The magic artifact was exiled, and Valmina's connection with this world was temporarily cut off. Riya also woke up. She didn't pretend to be hypocritical, but apologized to the three of us in shame. Facing the heavenly voice of the female devil, the three men present were determined to be righteous, and only she was bewitched, which made the proud female hero very embarrassed.

"The demon lords are all masters at playing with people's hearts, and Valmina is the best among them. It's not shameful if you accidentally fall into his trap. This is why we, the Sentinels, hunt demons."

"Exactly. Now that the Corrupted Skull has been banished to Oblivion, I intend to transform this place into an altar for Mara."

"I would like to invite you to go to Helgen with us. My daughter is getting married soon. It would be wonderful if the wedding could be presided over by the priests of Mara. Helgen is being rebuilt. You can choose the location you like and build a temple of your own."

Helgen is in need of a lot of work, and I plan to bring everyone I see there. If we can really compete with Skyrim in the future, then population will be a key issue. Yilandur also agreed to host the wedding as a reward for our help in expelling the magic artifact, and then go to Helgen for a field investigation.

"I didn't bully her. It's just that this girl was afraid that you guys didn't want her anymore. I've already taught her to sing two songs."

We had been on this trip for most of the day, and when we got back to the Windy Inn, we saw Lucia crying in a corner, while Thorin's daughter Kalita was busy explaining to the four of us, the fully armed warriors. After coaxing the sobbing little girl, I asked Kalita about Rigel's father, "Half-Hand" Jaeger.

"You mean old Horik? He lives with Brina now. A while ago, the lord said that he wanted to expel all the old soldiers of the legion, but Brina saved him. Hey, here they are."

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. But this devil does not have a white face and a long beard. A daughter follows her father. The father should be primarily responsible for the honor of Rigel. But the most eye-catching thing is his hand. Half of his right hand was cut off from the base of the thumb. This is probably the origin of his nickname "Half Hand". His sword also hung on the right side because of his disability. Riya and I went forward to greet him and handed over the lord's letter. After reading the letter, the father's neck stiffened.

"I'm not going!"
