4E 201, Hearth Fire (September) 5th.
Ximu collar, gray stone castle. A new day full of energy.
Although it can't be said to be the daily life of the vast 300-mile territory, it can still be called busy. Every personal guard in Gises Yingzhong is a respected squire and wife. Need to exercise power on behalf of the lord.
Therefore, Wu Chen does not have to bring an entire guard with him every time he travels. Except for the female warriors who stayed behind to guard the castle step by step, Wu Chen only brought the housekeeper, the spirit dragon knight Ashtaret and the three blade sisters: Brighton Night Blade Alice and Eternal Blade Etter during this inspection. Nas, Brighton Lightblade Corvo, and the four Iron Arm sisters: Rockflower Tish, Bear Slayer Kira, Whispering Raider Shae, and Microfire May.
Travel upriver on the Starry Night Lady to the Western Territory.
In addition to Captain Monica, the Starry Night Lady also has a crew of 5 people: Tullia, Skuld, Ellie, Arielle, and Nei. Wu Chen also saw a page belonging to them in the thick "Golden Tree Codex" in the lord's study: "Law Adapter Page". The meaning is obvious, they are all qualified to be the recipients of Crimson Dragon Po, and follow the Law of the Mottled Golden Tree.
Wu Chen had an unproven hunch. Each page in the "Golden Tree Codex" may be equivalent to an asylum card. Wu Chen also vaguely felt that the page shared by the five crew members of the Starry Night Goddess might be the third type of asylum card between exclusive land and character cards: "(Team) Cards".
The biggest difference from "combination cards" is that they are members of a certain "story legendary creation", such as "Starry Night Team Card" and "Storm Vision Team Card". In terms of star rating rules, legend is equivalent to five boxes. Four frames can be called epic. Six frames must be a myth. The seven frames are naturally gods. Therefore, the star rating of the team card is also likely to be determined by the star rating of the "Legendary Creation". Rather than being determined by its own star rating.
The reason is also very simple. In many cases, the Starry Night Goddess must be destroyed first before the team members carried on the ship can be terminated. Therefore, the star rating is more reflected by the Starry Night Goddess. Of course, this is all Wu Chen's guess, and it cannot be proven yet (the picture on the memory card has proven it, sir!).
After crossing the Baihe Stone Bridge and arriving at the waterway in Ximu City, the folded mast of the Starry Night Goddess was erected again. Take advantage of the north wind howling in the valley to break through the waves. 50 Miles Creek Wood City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with long streets and short alleys, giving you an unobstructed view.
When passing by Jiangxinzhou, the Gerdot family's mill had already started construction early. The water wheel worked tirelessly to drive stone mills and circular saws, grinding flour and splitting wood. The two workshops that occupied most of Jiangxinzhou were still the same as in his memory, but the lighthouse built at the back of Jiangxinzhou to guide the passing ships was obviously not in Wu Chen's memory.
In other words, whether it is coal from the coal camp or the North Wind mine, it is transported upstream through the Darkwater River (Darkwater River) originating from Lake Geir (Mixwater Mill) and then meeting the White River. The incoming ore, as well as the logs from the upstream hunting village and the livestock from the downstream farm, eventually merged into this increasingly busy waterway and were continuously transported to Ximucheng. Besides, most of the people traveling to and from the White River are the lord's own ships. Spending a lot of money to build a lighthouse is also a move that benefits the people.
You should be right to think so.
"Sir, good morning -" Across the waves of the White River's outer channel, one could see the lord surrounded by Gisei Siying and his wife at the bow of the ship. Goldo leaned forward to greet him in a cheerful mood.
"Be careful, Geerduo." Wu Chen was afraid that she would accidentally fall into the river.
"It's okay, my lord." Wu Chen in Goldo's memory is like this now.
"Is Larov still there?" Wu Chen asked about her brother.
"He left a few days ago." Goldo also replied readily: "Some people don't like him staying here -"
"Tell him that Ximu will always be his home." Although Ralof is a member of the Stormcloaks, he is a native of Ximu. As the Lord of Ximu, Wu Chen naturally wanted to protect the safety of his people.
"As you command, my lord." Goldo waved goodbye.
have to be aware of is. The questions and answers between Wu Chen and Goldo have different plot lines.
Wu Chen was asking about Larov's escape from Helgen after the dragon attack. But what Goldot answered was that Ralof, who was being hunted by imperial agents, had not yet been escorted to Helgen. The main plot of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" begins one after another, which is also due to the varying degrees of influence of the Thousand-Year Dragon Break on the two of them.
As the two men talked, the steamer furled its sails, lowered its mast, and passed under the front porch bridge across the White River. The pillars were erected on Jiangxin Island, and the stone wall of the front door of Ximu was extended across the Baihe River to the foot of Hanluo Mountain, turning the corridor into a covered bridge. This was also a generous move by the housekeeper. Moreover, at the intersection with Hanluo and Gaohao peaks, and on both sides of the Baihe River, there are also mountain fortresses and riverside towers. In addition, nine magic light towers are arranged at Jiangxinzhou and the city gate entrance, which is more than enough to defend against the evil dragon.
Just in case, there are magic barriers on the walls of the covered bridge.
In this way, the entire Shirakawa Valley is perfectly protected. Wu Chen has already asked the housekeeper, thanks to the dragon's eye diamond sent from across the plane, and the Arch-Mage Shalidor found by the great librarian Blerina, scattered in Winterfort. The manuscript of the academy, and under the auspices of Dean Freya of the Heron Feather, the destined guardian of the hearthstone, the holder of the Life Circle, the twin of destiny, jointly completed the Alteration system dedicated to territory construction. ) Magic - Shalidor's whisper: Able to gather sand to form a tower and build stones to form a wall. Instantly change the terrain. It is so convenient to use magic for large-scale construction.
According to legend, the Archmage Salidore was born in the First Age, and his understanding of magic is unrivaled to this day. His works scattered all over the country are highly sought after by future generations. There are many legendary stories in Shalidor's life, such as he used a spell to create Winterhold, stole the secret of life from Akatosh, and around 1E 420, he single-handedly fought against the Dwemer army of the Loken clan. Of course, many of these legends are thought to be exaggerated or fabricated. But what is certain is that Salido wrote many important books on magic and became a catalyst for future generations to study magic. Salidor is best known for creating a variety of buildings for mages to study, including the Academy of Winterhold, the Labyrinth in the Labyrinth Realm, and Eyevea, a haven for mages.
"Master, thank you for the dragon crystal magic stone (Dragon Eye Diamond) you sent. It not only contains powerful magical energy, but also has extremely high element affinity. As the energy core of the magic ring magic circle, it can not only protect the town, It can also continuously absorb magical elements from nature and repair the magic ring." After crossing the gate under the covered bridge, the housekeeper raised her head and said.
Wu Chen's heart moved, and the bracelet that controlled the entire "Guardian Barrier Ring" quietly appeared on his left wrist. This is a simplified version of the bracelet similar to Freya's Life Ring. Only the destined guardian can open it. Obviously, Wu Chen is the destined person.
"So, all landmark buildings or ancillary buildings are blessed with protective barriers (rings)."
"Yes, my dearest master." The housekeeper smiled: "In order to defend against unknown attacks, we really tried our best."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Wu Chen also took everything in front of him seriously.
"Master?" Seeing Wu Chen looking at Hrothgar's Roaring Peak from afar, the housekeeper smiled happily: "The Hrothgar Peak near Ximu can build a fortress similar to Azaruden. Expand Ximu into two mountain and valley areas. urban area.”
"I understand. But it's not necessary now. Ximu City is open enough." Wu Chen was still worried that touching Hrothgar Peak would cause a new tower collapse. At that time, Ximucheng at the foot of the mountain will be destroyed.
"Okay, my master." The housekeeper didn't force herself. But the "greystone and gold mountain" buried deep in the castle and tightly protected by the protective barrier still made her feel full of crisis. The lord often said "lose wealth to eliminate disaster". Only by spending it all can you feel at ease.
After sailing out of the front porch bridge of Ximu, the Starry Night Goddess raised its mast again, the cold wind in the valley puffed up the sails, and accelerated upstream.
"Master, look." Without the housekeeper's guidance, after crossing a protruding high rock on the river bank, a large fishery built at the bend of the river came into view.
In the game, it is just a small puddle as big as a palm, but in the real world it is a sparkling river bend. The river bay blocked by fishing nets and turned into an excellent fishing ground has a worthy name: "White River Bay fishery". The predecessor of the fishery was obviously the fishing hut that the housekeeper left to the alcoholic Embry to take care of.
"Good morning, sir." The fishery manager Embry stood up from the fishing boat and saluted.
"Good morning, Amber." Wu Chen's memory reappeared: "It seems that you can make your face glow without drinking."
"You are right." Embry smiled broadly and bowed to say goodbye: "Delphine is not my fish (vegetable), sir."
"Okay, Amber." Wu Chen nodded with a smile.
"The Baihewan Fishing Ground and the Coal Mine Cave Fishing Ground provide almost all of Ximu's fish and meat needs." The housekeeper was very satisfied with her results: "Of course, this is also a gift from the Great Lake."
"That's right." Wu Chen smiled happily. The hard work of man and the gifts of nature are the guarantee for the prosperity of Ximu Ling.
