Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

The atmosphere in Yuehuaska was very depressing. Apparently, a funeral had just been held here. Considering that Madeline had been treated, it could only prove that the other two comrades who failed to return had unfortunately died. Eric and Scoyue sat in a corner, discussing something in a low voice. They were a little surprised by my visit.

Maybe because he was scolded by Lei Mei during the day, Sko Yue was somewhat dissatisfied with me, but as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, he still accepted the medicine I sent him and expressed his gratitude. Eric told me about their experience.

In order to face the dragon, the Companions sent out an unprecedentedly strong team. The team was led by two members of the Circle, Scoyue and Huntress Ayla. Madeline and Lamarcos were also masters among the senior members, Eric was the best among the newcomers, and the wood elf Cailin was the archery master second only to Ayla. The Lord of Whiterun sent more than 20 people to kill a dragon, and paid a huge price of four deaths and eight injuries. The Companions were confident that this battle could make them famous as the strongest force in Skyrim.

Since we had previously cleared the bandit gang in Waltham Tower, the Companions chose to go along the north bank of the White River and bypass the Hanging Rock Fortress. This proved to be a serious mistake, as they were ambushed by the Silver Hand's heavy troops halfway through. Ramakos and Kaelin were killed, Madeline was seriously injured, and Scoyue and Ella turned into werewolves. The four of them barely managed to break out of the encirclement.

The Companions were humiliated this time. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but they were also forced to return the employer's deposit and pay compensation because they failed to complete the mission. How could the first mercenary group in Skyrim have suffered such a loss? Scoyue and Ella wanted to launch a revenge operation, but the prophet Krako objected. The old man believed that Silver Hand had no martial ethics and was deliberate. He attacked their team twice, but it was not a random attack. It was obvious that he came prepared. Such behavior has exceeded the fair competition among peers. He advocated that he should first negotiate with the other party to find out Silver Hand's intentions, and it would be best if he could persuade them to hand over the murderer and take care of themselves.

"My wife is still unconscious and he's asking me to calm down! I can't calm down! If Krako doesn't want to handle this, then we'll do it ourselves!"

I think Kraco's idea makes sense, but the two people in front of me obviously don't agree. Eric even urged me to leave, saying that they had important plans tonight.

"I think you should at least scout the enemy first and find out how many Silver Hands have in the Hanging Rock Fortress. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

Skoyue snorted coldly, stood up and left, not even bothering to refute what I said.

"He's in a bad mood, don't take it personally."

"I understand. But Eric, you are going to fight a larger force with a smaller force, and you don't know the enemy's situation, so you must be careful about everything. It's best to act together and never separate. Lund, Miss Angie, and I all hope that you are safe."

According to the plot in the game, Skoyue underestimated the enemy and rushed into the Hanging Rock Castle alone, and eventually lost his life. How could I be angry with a dying person? Eric comforted me and promised to go to Falkreath to report safety as soon as he dealt with the matter.

I didn't see Ella the whole time. This woman should have entered the underground furnace, waiting to give Eric the blood of the beast. Eric's move was destined since he joined the Companions. I would not discriminate against him because of the werewolf incident in Falkreath.

What caught my attention was that the quest line for the Companions in Another World was a little clearer than in the game.

First of all, I have figured out why Scoyue and Ayla launched an attack on Silver Hand. The other party set up ambushes twice and owed a blood debt. Even a clay man would be angry, not to mention that most of the comrades are gunpowder barrels. It would be strange if this didn't explode.

But Krako's worries are also reasonable. The beast bloodline of the Companions has existed for hundreds of years, and it has always been kept secret. Even no one in Whiterun knows about it. How did Silver Hand know about it? This new mercenary organization has an unknown origin, but it is rich and powerful. The fact that everyone has a silver weapon is enough to make them proud. Where does their money come from? What kind of demands does such a wealthy organization have? Sko Yue has been blinded by hatred and insists on acting rashly without knowing his enemy at all.

This also explains why Krako was so indifferent to his death. Although the Companions claim that everyone is equal, there are still some unspoken rules that are recognized by everyone. Skoyue is already the de facto second-in-command, and now he openly challenges the authority of the Prophet. Perhaps this is the reason why Krako won over the Wilkas brothers, isolated Ayla, and supported a newcomer with no foundation to take over as the Prophet? As for the matter of curing the wolf soul, I dare not jump to conclusions at present. There is no concept of reincarnation in the mythology of the Nords, so after thousands of years, Hircing's hunting grounds must have been crowded. Moreover, Hircing and the Raven God in the mythology of the Reachmen are obviously the same existence, but the manifestations are completely different. You can't say that both are true, right?

Eric and Skoyue are both opinionated people. They won't let me interfere in their decision, not to mention that I have my own troubles. I have been away from Falkreath for more than ten days, and I don't know how things are going at home. I haven't heard from Donna since she was sent away, and I don't know if she is safe now. The people from the War Mad family may not continue to contact me to avoid suspicion. And did Tagel and Moira successfully capture the Sunshine Garden Fortress? If their actions are frustrated, it will seriously affect our future development. In addition, more important is the operation of the mines in the Blood Throne. Lund is currently loyal to his duties and can be trusted, but whether there are mines in the mountains cannot be determined by loyalty and diligence.

What worries me most is of course Rigel's health. She is almost four months pregnant. She should be showing her pregnancy, right? I wonder if Tagel's house in Falkreath is finished. If she still lives in Helgen, she should be able to eat well with Eddie taking care of her. If she moves to a new house, there may not be someone who can take care of her. Did that brat Stein deliver the snacks to her? Don't give them all to Angie without thinking, right? If I don't do this job well, I won't bring him out to train in the future.

I returned to Longxiao Palace with a lot on my mind, and then I realized that I had forgotten to eat dinner. Even the servants had gone to bed, so I could only sneak into the kitchen to find something to eat. Unlike the palace in the game, which was always lit, the lights in Longxiao Palace in the other world were turned off at night. The faint starlight shone through the windows of the hall, which was not enough to dispel the darkness. I squinted my eyes and carefully explored the ground under my feet.

It is said that in the dark, people's senses other than vision become more active. I heard a rustling sound in the kitchen. Is it a mouse? I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The sanitary conditions in Tianji are very poor, and various small animals often live in human residences. If it was just an ordinary mouse, it would be fine, but I'm afraid it was a snow mouse. That thing is too big, and it obviously carries bacteria and viruses. Lund was almost killed by them. I don't have any weapons, so I'm afraid I can't be a match with just a pair of bare hands.

My instinct told me to retreat, but my legs wouldn't listen to me. I had to clamp them together to resist the growing urge to urinate. Fortunately, the sound seemed to be fading away, slowly sinking into the cellar, like a terrifying shark diving under the sea. I didn't know what to do. If I ran away, I would make a noise on the wooden floor and alarm the beasts that had just calmed down. Maybe I should be patient and wait until they were asleep, and then retreat quietly.

"Ah... my dear child, son of darkness, have you come to seek my wisdom again?"

A feminine female voice suddenly sounded, ruthlessly shattering my control over my urethral sphincter. I could only squat as much as possible to avoid the gushing warm water from colliding with the floor and making too much noise. Faintly, I heard a boy's trembling voice. Although he tried hard to suppress it, I could still feel his anger.

"Yes, Ms. Whisper. That bitch, Dagny, she spit in my beef soup and forced me to eat it. That stupid pig who called himself my father just asked the servant to change my bowl of soup! He didn't even bother to ask the little hoof to apologize to me!"

That was Nerkiel, the youngest son of Lord Balgruuf. It seemed that he was bullied by his half-sister, so he came to seek comfort from the demon goddess Mephala, or perhaps advice.

I don't want to listen any more. Lady Mephala is an evil demon lord. She is like a disgusting spider, weaving an impenetrable web of lies, murder and sex. Mortals who are caught up in her will lose their minds and betray those who trust them. Nerkiel is likely to plot to kill his father under the temptation and guidance of the evil god. The less you know about this kind of thing, the better. The best situation is to know nothing at all.

I moved towards the kitchen door as quietly as possible. Mephala and Nelkiel didn't say anything, or maybe they both kept their voices down. Holding onto the door frame, I breathed a sigh of relief. The only trouble now was how to explain my incontinence to Lei Mei.

"Go back, son of darkness, we should talk about these things when there is no third person. Now, you should go find the eavesdropper and bring him here. Go."

Mephala's voice came faintly, and scattered footsteps sounded in the cellar. Now that I had been discovered, there was no point in tiptoeing, and I ran towards the gate of Dragonsreach Palace. My pants and shoes were wet, and if I ran in the palace, I would inevitably be found. There was a pond outside Dragonsreach Palace, which was connected to the artificial river in the city through a drainage canal. As soon as I went out, I jumped in without hesitation. I didn't know if Nerkiel would chase me out, and I was not sure if any guards would find me, but at least the odor on my pants was gone.

The early spring night was still very cold, and I was soaked. I could only hide in a corner, gnashing my teeth while taking off my wet clothes and wringing them out. I couldn't go back to Dragon's Peak tonight, as Nerkiel might still be looking for me. I couldn't go to the Companions either, as it would be inappropriate if I ran into Eric turning into a werewolf. I didn't have any money on me, so I couldn't stay in a hotel. After thinking it over, I could only go to the Temple of Ginales, pretending to visit Madeline and ask for a sip of wine to warm myself up.

The temple was still dim. The acolyte Jensen did not welcome my visit, but he still patiently handed me a candle, pointed to the door in the corner, and then yawned and went back to his room.

"who!"

I was frightened, but fortunately there was not much in my stomach, so I did not embarrass myself. The four candlesticks in the room were lit one by one, and I saw Leah standing in front of Madeline's bed with a vigilant look on her face.

"I'm Eric's friend. I brought Madeline to the temple during the day. I'm leaving Whiterun tomorrow, so I came to visit her."

Lia obviously didn't believe my nonsense. She didn't relax her vigilance and still stood between me and the bed. She simply said that Madeline didn't wake up, and then urged me to leave. At this time, the Green Axe Wolf Girl coughed and said a word softly.

"water……"
