Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

According to Moira, Eric and she drank and talked happily at the banquet, and they fell in love with each other. With the help of the demon god, she was willing to put down her status and condescend to marry him. But after that night, this scumbag disappeared. Now he proposed to cancel the engagement as soon as they met. It must be the bitch Esmerelda who made her fiance fall in love with someone else by promising him all kinds of benefits. As for the other party, Eric, he was very drunk at the time and could not remember anything at all.

I heard something else from Moira's story. What she said was actually very similar to the story of the golden apple in Greek mythology. They were three real goddesses who came to the beauty pageant, but they still had to bribe the judges with benefits. The reason was obvious. If it was a comparison between Xi Shi and Dong Shi, one beautiful and one ugly, there would naturally be no suspense. But if the contestants were all young girls who were as old as their own daughters, the judges would inevitably have prosopagnosia and mistake green tea for milk tea. So whether the contestants were three goddesses or two crow ghosts, what was really compared was not their appearance, figure or temperament, but the conditions they could bring.

In the myth, faced with the power given by Hera, the wisdom given by Athena, and the love given by Aphrodite, Paris hesitated again and again. In the end, the young man chose to make the mistake that every man would make between power, reason and desire, which unsurprisingly brought disaster to himself and his country. The so-called goddess of wisdom also pursued fame like ordinary mortals, and after failure, she became angry and killed people, which made the irony of this story reach its maximum.

Back to ourselves, Moira also said that Eric is not blind. From his pursuit of Angie, we can know that his orientation is like the steel sword made by Uncle Rod, which is straight and hard. If you say that he is attracted by Moira's charm, I will never believe it. The truth may be like the myth. The two crow ghosts each made conditions, and Eric chose the one that could impress him more. But this idiot knew nothing about what happened at that time. With our status, we are not qualified to speak and refute in this occasion. We can only listen to Moira's unilateral accusation that the bitch is shameless and the scumbag is ruthless. Her four apprentices echoed and accused Eric of being blind and ignorant. One of them even suggested that she could cut off the root of the troubles and solve the problem once and for all.

"But, Aunt Moira, what conditions can this Esmerelda offer that will be enough to make this man change his mind?"

"What conditions can she have? That bitch always gives away the secret skills that we Reachmen never pass on to others. When she sees a woman, she teaches her how to become a Blackwing Witch. When she sees a man, she wants to transform him into a Thornheart. Is the grace of the Raven God bestowed on these foreigners?"

Helgi nodded thoughtfully, leaned on Moira's shoulder and whispered, and then the two of them stood up and went to the yard. They spoke so quietly that not only did I not hear them, but Annis, who was sitting on the other side of Moira, also looked confused. But she soon started chatting with the other four witches, completely ignoring the existence of Eric and me. Moira's laughter came from the yard, like the creaking of rusty hinges.

"You two men, get out of here!"

In the middle of the yard, Helgi was holding an oval stone the size of a coconut in both hands. It looked like it was made of white marble, white and delicate, and translucent. Judging from her effort, it seemed to be very heavy. I recognized it at a glance. It was Meridia's beacon. After obtaining the beacon in the game, the Dragonborn will receive an order from the light demon Meridia to go to the ruins of Kirkreth to eliminate the necromancer Mokran. The demon will give a long sword called Dawnbreaker as a reward.

Speaking of Dawnbreaker, it really makes my heart move. I believe that every Dragonborn will be amazed by its beauty when they get this long sword for the first time in the game. It is a gorgeous ebony long sword. The connection between the hilt and the blade is inlaid with a gem that emits dazzling golden light. The blade is based on gold and mixed with red enchantment runes. This weapon is specially used to deal with undead creatures. In addition to the enchantment of additional fire damage, it will also cause an explosion when killing undead creatures. The weak undead will be directly transcended, and the stronger ones will also flee. The scene is extremely shocking. Moreover, the enchantment can be used many times, unlike Bora's Oath Sword, which needs to be charged after a few cuts. If I have the Oath Sword in my left hand and the Dawnbreaker in my right hand, wouldn't everyone run away when I see it, and ghosts will be worried when they see it, and no one dares to face it when I cross the sky? Just thinking about it is very cool.

Perhaps my eyes showed too much greed, Helgi came forward and stuffed the beacon into my hand very happily, but Meridia's voice did not come. The stone lay quietly in my hand, reflecting soft light. Why is that? Did Meridia think I was too weak to deal with Mokran? This makes sense. Mokran is a powerful wizard. His specialty is ice storm. He often defeats the Dragonborn before they even meet. Moreover, after being killed, he will transform into a ghost to fight again. He is indeed a tough opponent. But I also have experience fighting vampires and werewolves. Now I have Barbas to help me. I won't give him a chance, right? Could it be that the signal in this yard is not good and I can't connect with the goddess?

"You see, men are all like this, they like shiny hard things."

Moira commented on my behavior, and Helgi nodded heavily to show that he had learned something.

I walked around the yard holding the beacon, changing the angle and height. I turned the stone over and over in my hands for several times, but there was no sign of Meridia appearing. This was embarrassing. Could it be that I had made a mistake? This might be an ordinary stone, just a little bit like the beacon. While I was confused, Helgi snatched the beacon from my arms, stepped on me heavily, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth in a low voice.

"If you don't say something, Brother Eric will have his heart ripped out!"

Ah! What happened? I was so focused on fiddling with the beacon that I didn't notice that the hag had turned to Eric and was slowly drawing circles around his heart with her claws.

"Dear Eric, our token of love has been given to her lover by Helgi. But don't worry, I can do what that bitch Esmerelda can do. Tomorrow morning, I will be able to replace this warm, throbbing lump of your flesh with a thorn seed, and you will have incredible power."

"Ms. Moira, I..."

"You are so ill-mannered! I don't know what Helgi sees in you. It seems that your mistress has not fulfilled her responsibilities. I allow you to reorganize your language. You'd better use honorifics to me and call yourself a villain!"

Speaking of manners, you Rich people have the bad habit of always interrupting others when they are talking, right? But I am unarmed, so I definitely cannot defeat the crow witch. A bachelor should not suffer a loss in front of him.

"Respected Black Wing Witch, I have a request. Please help to eliminate the rebellion of the Snake Cliff Ridge Tribe."

Moira was stunned when she heard this, and then asked Helgi about the rebellion. The little girl told her the whole story. How Stella colluded with Zoltan and betrayed the leader of Xinanmeng, how she was imprisoned after seizing the Sunshine Garden Fortress, and how I rescued her and sent her to Annis. The crow witch was so angry about this story that she cursed Stella and Zoltan as inhuman, attracting Annis and others to come out and watch.

"Sister Annis, is everything Helgi said true? Why didn't you tell me about it?"

This question made my aunt look embarrassed and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Respected Lady Black Wing Witch, I have the audacity to speculate on the intentions of the respected Ms. Annis. I hope that the respected Ms. Helgi can settle this matter personally, so that it can be regarded as revenge for the respected female leader of Xinanmeng. I also agree with the idea of ​​the respected Ms. Annis. However, although the respected Ms. Helgi is talented and has a bright future, she is a little lacking in experience at the moment; and the respected Ms. Annis, please forgive me for being frank, it is difficult for her to reach the level of the more respected female leader of Xinanmeng. The Snake Cliff Ridge tribe is quite powerful, and it must be controlled by the most respected Lady Black Wing Witch, so I beg you to take action. I have a little prestige among the Nords, and I can bring a few people to support you and boost your momentum. As for this Eric, I think that as a Nord, he is not blessed enough to marry a female leader."

Moira pondered for a long time before she smiled and said to Helgi, "You have good taste, girl. You picked a guy with a sharp tongue. I will discuss this matter with your aunt. You can stay at my place today."

Annis's face was not looking good. My behavior was equivalent to handing the Snake Cliff Ridge tribe to Moira. If the other party turned against me, they would have no power to resist. And from what Moira said, it seemed that Helgi and I were entangled, which violated our original agreement that Helgi could not marry outsiders. But she was a guest like us, and her strength was far inferior to Moira. Even if she was unhappy, she did not dare to get angry on the spot.

That night, Eric and I set up the tent outside as usual. When I finished my meditation and prepared to go to bed, the candlelight in the room was still on. It seemed that Moira was really moved and pulled Annis and others to discuss in detail. Eric and I planned that no matter what others chose, we would set out with Barbas tomorrow morning, head south to the Blackwater Crossroad, then cross the mountain into the Rift Valley, pass through the Hrothgar Trail and return to Falkreath to find the Shame of Heima. Fortunately, after dinner, the witches returned our equipment to the two of us. If the talks failed tomorrow, the magic dog would cover the rear, and the two of us would be on our feet.

I just don't know if Babas, who was just a bystander yesterday, can be relied upon.
