Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

I asked for the wine from Rigel, because Lund had offended too many people, and no one in the town was willing to sell him wine. Lund was under a lot of pressure recently, and he got drunk after drinking only two bottles. Fortunately, he was a good drinker, and after mumbling a few words, he fell asleep. I plan to go to see Danger tomorrow, and I will deal with the things in Helgen Town briefly for now. In my reply to Eric, I chose to report good news instead of bad news. After all, things have not developed to the point of no return, and it is best for him to concentrate on his development in the Companions. The spear and the letter must be delivered to him as soon as possible, and he will face a very severe challenge next.

The Silver Hand is about to take the stage. This force is just an ordinary bandit with a changed name in the game, but in the other world, it is a powerful faction that makes the Sentinels of Stendarr quite jealous. It can be determined that their strongholds include the Drifting Shadow Sanctuary in Winterhold and the Hanged Rock Fortress in Eastland. From this, it can be inferred that the Silver Hand may concentrate its main force in the mountains northeast of Whiterun. They must be secretly accumulating strength and planning an attack on Moonvaska. I suspect that the Wuthrad fragments that appeared in Dustman Cairn are the conspiracy of the Silver Hand, which is what the Sentinel Cassidy once mentioned as "a large-scale operation planned by the Silver Hand in Whiterun", which can also explain why they ambushed at the mission site in advance.

The Companions must have known about Silverhand's hostile attitude, but the reaction of Moonvaska was not unified. The werewolf faction led by Skoyue and Ayla tended to take the initiative, while the Sovngarde faction led by Krako Whitemane was very passive. After Skoyue died in the game, Krako's reaction was extremely cold, and he even denounced the Dragonborn's revenge as a bloody massacre. However, the old man was soon backfired by his inexplicable compassion and died under the sword of Silverhand. The leadership of the Companions suffered heavy losses, and the survivors split into two factions that did not interfere with each other. It can be said that it was the worst end among the four major guilds.

As the prophet of the Companions, Krako is a typical saint. He lacks the energy and perseverance required of an excellent leader, and has no clear development plan or specific action plan, but is full of love and understanding for the enemy. In peaceful days, if luck is good enough, such a leader may be able to rule the world with ease, but in the chaotic world of the Fourth Era, a weak and wavering leader will only bring disaster, just like Balgruuf, the Lord of Whiterun. Whiterun was devastated by war because of Balgruuf's indecision, and the Companions fell into division after Krako's death, and the brothers Ella and Wilkas almost became strangers. If this leader is not only weak and incompetent, but also full of unrealistic fantasies, thinking that he can influence the enemy by giving concessions and preaching, and thus share the same fate with him, then he will inevitably face the tragic end of suffering.

I actually hope that Eric can lead the comrades to break free from their fate and unite to face the challenge. Even if this force refuses to participate in the civil war, it will definitely play its role in the confrontation with Alduin. However, he is still just a "little beast cub" now, and all this is still far away.

I will also write another letter to Newgra Fortress to inform Nanya Governor to release Sam and ask him to come to Helgen Town to see me. I plan to observe this guy's mental state and then consider what kind of work to assign him. If I don't learn a lesson from this incident, I will hone my skills again.

I rubbed my temples, my mind active under the influence of alcohol. Ever since my mission to Sunshine Garden Fortress failed, the tense situation has forced me to do things on my own, and I haven't had the opportunity to think quietly like this. The recent events have made me feel the pressure from Danger and Dad. Now I analyze it, the main reason is that I don't have my own power.

Under the Lord of Falkreath, there are four barons: Danger, Tagel, Sengard and Horik. These five high-ranking nobles have appointed a total of more than a dozen knights and allocated some properties to them. Rigel, me, Nanya, Rhodes and Soraf are among them. Among all the knights, I am undoubtedly the most glorious one. Not only do I have my own castle, I am also a member of the Lord's Council as a horse breeder, and I have a close relationship with the two most powerful barons.

However, the power that I can truly control is almost zero. I have neither established my own guard team nor an industry with stable income. The castle is under the actual control of Danger and Soraf's legions.

Most importantly, I didn't stay true to my own talents.

Red Guard Rhea is loyal to her father, and she has never concealed her contempt for me. Nanya, Rhodes, Soraf and I are of similar rank, all low-ranking nobles loyal to the lord, and will definitely not be used by me. Angie, Eddie and the previous team members are closer to Rigel. In their eyes, I am like them, a confidant or old friend of the lord's wife. Cindy and Eric have each made their own way in life. In fact, they can no longer be considered as the people of Falkreath. They should be said to be very good friends. Runiel and Ilandur are even more idle, not concerned with political affairs, and serve the Holy Spirit with all their heart. As for my two followers Sam and Stein, I think they are spies planted around me. They are either loyal to Danger or to Sidger. In short, they are not my own people.

After all the calculations, it turns out that only Lund, who is the weakest, is someone I can confide in. He and I are from the same hometown, and we have no roots here. Although he is conscientious in doing things, his ability is limited, and he has offended almost everyone. Even if I really want to train him as my confidant, I have to plan carefully, so as not to use him for a small talent and bring trouble to both of us.

Since the Blood Throne is a new territory seized from vampires and has no native residents, I can only find ways to enrich the population and then select talents from them for my own use. Fortunately, as a time traveler, I have my own way of selecting and employing people, and I don't have to be confined to the bloodline theory of the original aristocratic circle in Skyrim. But this matter must be done step by step, which is of little help to the current situation I am facing. Guanzi once said: The beginning of the hegemony is to put people first. Now I have a personal experience. I clearly traveled across Skyrim in the game and changed my followers one after another, but after I traveled through, I was in a situation where no one was available. It's really ironic.

I entrusted the sleeping Lund to Valgar and spent the rest of the day in the training ground. Since I couldn't find a strong subordinate for the time being, I had to try my best to strengthen my own strength, especially since most Nords were rude. You have to defeat them before you can say anything. I have learned a lot of skills now, which means I haven't learned each one well enough. After thinking it over, I think I should still use the bow and arrow as the main means of output, and the magic major is the summoning system, using summons to attract firepower. As for the spear and the oath sword, they are only used as self-defense means after being approached, or as a helpless move after the arrows are exhausted.

In terms of archery, I have learned from Angie and Helgi. Interestingly, although they are both hunters, their shooting styles are very different, and even their bow postures are different. Angie mainly targets herbivores such as sheep and deer, and emphasizes accurate and stable shooting, and is good at standing still to output; although Helgi is not very old, her archery is much more fierce. She regards beasts such as wolves and eagles as imaginary enemies, and advocates rapid shooting and wandering. When the little girl draws the bow, she often roars to show her momentum. For me, before I can summon the ice element, Helgi's style of play is more practical, but I don't know where this girl ran away after being taken away by Eddie, so I had to train with Angie.

In the morning, I once again told Lund to wait until I came back before deciding on the next step, and then I went to comfort Eddie. The town was short of supplies, and I was not in the mood to make hot pot or other food. Amid Riya's complaints, I once again borrowed my father's horse and rushed to the Blood Throne. Danger was not in his room, but was chatting with the female cat Zenabi and another strange male tiger man in the cellar. When he saw me coming, the old fox smiled very happily.

"Oh my, my child, you've heard everything, right? The Lord's wife is pregnant. This is really a happy event. Don't leave today, come and have a few drinks with the old man tonight!"

Danger looked much better than the last time I saw him. This was probably what they call a happy occasion. I naturally agreed to his invitation. How could I ask for money if I didn't drink enough wine? After a few pleasantries with the old fox, I handed the moon amulet seized from Waltham Tower to Zenabi and asked her to pass it on to Hayou when she met him. The female cat introduced me to the male cat standing next to her. It turned out that this person was the famous Resard.

"You are the knight Locker of the Bloody Throne, right? Reshad heard Akari mention your name. She told Reshad that there are Nords willing to provide a place for her caravan as a supply point, so Reshad hurried over to take a look."

This is a real boss! There are three tiger caravans wandering in Skyrim. One is led by Ressard himself. The leaders of the other two, Madelan and Akali, were able to start their own businesses with his funding. If we can get in touch with him, can we make the Bloody Throne a base for all the tiger caravans? You know, we will completely break with the Imperial Legion next. If we can have tigers smuggling in the area controlled by the Legion, it will definitely ease our economic pressure to a certain extent.

I'm not good at judging the age of the tiger people, but Resad gave me a similar feeling to Danger, both of them are kind-looking but cunning, pretending to be a loyal elder. Especially this tiger man always smiles when he speaks, which makes me more alert. His idea coincides with mine, and we both hope to make the Bloody Throne a common base for the tiger caravans, and the purpose of this trip is to discuss the terms with me. Of course, I put forward some obvious problems. The main reason why the tiger people are not welcome in Skyrim is that they often break the law, one is petty theft, and the other is smuggling addictive beverages: Skooma. The condition for the Akali caravan to obtain the supply point is not to violate the laws of the Nords. If there is only this caravan, it will be easier to manage and hold accountable. If there are too many people, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the loopholes.

"Resard understands your concerns. Resard's suggestion is that designated tiger men be responsible for the daily operation of the supply station. These personnel will be registered with you and will be under your management and supervision. Caravans must be inspected when entering and leaving the supply station, and are not allowed to carry skooma or other contraband."

I looked embarrassed. The Blood Throne will be the main base of the quarry in the future, and the existence of the tiger people will eventually be an unstable factor. Danger, who strongly opposed this matter last time, unexpectedly did not respond. Could it be that this old guy has been bribed by the other party? Seeing that I was slow to respond to him, Resard continued to throw out his remaining conditions.

"Of course, in order to obtain the right to use the supply station, Resard is willing to pay a rent of 12,000 Septin per year, and can prepay the rent for the first two months. But Resard needs you to sign a written document, and the lease must be for more than three years."

This old man's money power broke all my defenses. He gave too much. How can a three-year contract be enough?
