Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

The conversation with Ilandur did not completely solve the problem I was facing, but at least I knew a feasible solution. I also learned a few simple magics from him. In addition to being able to summon a ghost wolf to fight for me, I also learned healing and magic light. The former can heal some simple minor injuries, and the latter is used for lighting during exploration. Many places in Skyrim are dark, and I don't have the natural night vision ability like the tiger people, so I had to learn this.

Ilandul thought that the level of summons of the ghost wolf was my current limit, and he suggested that I meditate every evening and morning, because the power of magic actually comes from the power of Aetheris brought by the sun and stars, and mortals can collect and accumulate magic power through meditation, so that they can release more powerful spells. However, the midday sun is too overbearing, and with the physical fitness of a normal human, it is easy to explode and die if you meditate at this time.

As for which god to believe in, I have not made a final decision. Ilandur said that meditation itself can increase the strength of the spirit, which may be helpful in resisting the harassment of Valmina. In this case, I will not rush to provoke those powerful and secretive beings to avoid unnecessary trouble.

I have accepted the reality that I am a fragile archer, and I plan to start by learning the two spells of summoning and restoration. As long as I can summon the ice element, the safety aspect is guaranteed. As for the three great skills of blacksmithing, enchanting and alchemy, I don't want to think about it. Rod has been working as a blacksmith for half his life, and the shop only has some steel weapons. I am afraid that I will have to wait until the next life to make a dragon bone suit. The most terrifying thing about the dragonborn in the game is the super growth ability. Holding a shield against a mud crab for a night, you become a blocking master, and spitting flames at a horse for a day, you become a destruction wizard. I don't have such a natural talent. I can only practice archery solidly and meditate obediently every morning and evening.

Back in Falkreath, Danger had already written a letter to General Tullius. The old fox used cautious words to report the transformation of Skuna into a werewolf, hoping that the Legion could assist in the investigation, and considering the shock the previous envoy had brought to the residents, he asked General Tullius to consider not sending anyone else for the time being. We have decided not to break off relations with the Empire, so we can only strive for the right to autonomy.

The lord's wedding is tentatively scheduled for the 10th of the Evening Star Moon, less than two weeks away. By then, all the nobles of Falkreath will come to watch the ceremony. Even though they have encountered many misfortunes, Danger and Tagel still hope to make the event more glorious. The Lake View Manor that I have been thinking about has been granted to Baron Sengard, who has lost his territory. It is still a wasteland. Although the baron has a lot of savings, they are all left in the Sunshine Garden Fortress, so he has no ability to build a large-scale project and can only live in the city temporarily.

Noel had basically determined that the werewolves had fled into the black pine forest in the north, but he and Walder were attacked by tree spirits when they were searching a cave, and all four of them were injured. Fortunately, Stendar's sentinels were very skilled and barely saved everyone's lives. While recuperating, he wrote two letters about his investigation, one of which was more detailed and reported to Cassidy, and the other was concise and was used to endorse Danger's report and submitted to General Tullius.

As for Rhodes's desire to catch dogs, since most residents were unwilling to leave the protection of the city walls, he could only ask the hunters to do it. As a result, they caught wolves and forced him to buy them at the price of hounds. After acquiring seven wolves, Rhodes refused to spend any more money, but he did get an extra wolfskin coat, which he wore wherever he went, so everyone called him "Seven Wolves" Rhodes.

There was nothing urgent at the moment, so I took Eric and two followers to the Bloody Throne. Brother, I have a territory now! Although there are no people living there for the time being, it will be lively soon. Dad is selecting strong young people from the refugees and preparing to use the Bloody Throne as a base to mine and quarry in Mount Jerrol. The town of Helgen was devastated by the destruction of the general, and the fortress and the wall parts need a lot of stone to repair or rebuild. The mountains in the territory of Richland are rolling and overlapping, and the people there are simply born miners. During the war, the three most important resources are salt, iron, and grain. Falkreath is backed by mountains, but there is only a knife-point ridge that has lost control and can be regarded as a large mine. There is a large iron ore base like the coal block mine at the foot of Mount Jerrol, but nothing has been dug out of the mountain. This is really not normal. The only explanation is that Sidgeir spent all his money on eating, drinking and having fun. We have to do what he doesn't do, and we have to do it well! Not only do we need to produce steel, but we also need to rebuild the city of Falkreath. One day in the future, I can pat my chest and confidently tell Danger: "You give me a city built of wood, and I will give you a city built of stone."

The Blood Throne is located deep in the mountains. The roads leading to Helgen and Falkreath are deserted and full of thorns. The castle is also in a mess. When we came to hunt Vighar, Rigel smashed all the statues here. Now there are rubbles everywhere and no one cleans them up. So I hired fifteen refugees at the price of one Septim per day, five to clean the castle, and the other ten to clean the roads leading to the two towns. There were nearly forty refugees left in Falkreath at the beginning. Now everyone is hibernating, so it's a good opportunity to find some jobs for them.

I set up a target outside the castle to practice archery. Eric insisted on practicing with me. I was very sure that he was just looking for an excuse to get close to Angie in the future. My two followers were extremely disdainful of this. Stein was a shy young man and didn't say anything harsh, but Sam bluntly said that bows and arrows were dirty tools that cowards and despicable attackers liked to use, and they were not worthy of being called weapons. A truly noble and brave knight should be armed with weapons, stand in front of the two armies, and face the enemy's swords and axes directly, and not change his color even if the Throat of the World collapsed in front of him.

So this little bastard is indirectly calling me a mud-legged upstart! Now is the time to hire someone, and as a knight, I am a person of status, so I am naturally magnanimous and cannot play a game with a half-grown boy. But there is a good job that needs to face the sword and axe, so I am happy to help him arrange it.

When I left Falkreath, Danger heard that I was going south, so he asked me to arrange for someone to send a letter to Baron Montoya stationed in Nugra Fortress, informing him to come to the lord's wedding on time. I know that castle, it is just a little south of Helgen Town, and it should have been controlled by a group of bandits from Cyrodiil. The nobles in Falkreath are all weak in fighting. Baron Sengard couldn't even defend his territory in front of a group of remnants of the Forsworn. This Baron Montoya is even more promising. Considering that I am now a "small man who has succeeded" and has become a knight, I naturally cannot do such humble work of running errands and delivering letters in person, so I assigned Sam to go alone, hoping that the bravery of this noble family can be as strong as he claims.

My leisure time lasted only two days. On the afternoon of the day when Sam set out, Danger's message arrived. The old fox asked me to return to Falkreath immediately, saying that there were urgent matters to discuss. I had no choice but to leave Stein to wait for the miners, and set out with Eric, embarking on the mountain road that was hidden in the dense forest.

Just as I turned a corner, a white light suddenly flashed before my eyes.
