The Silver Road connecting Cyrodiil only passes through Helgen, the sky portal, and becomes the "Lord's Avenue" that runs through Brookwood. On the basis of the original stone road, the Lord carried out a comprehensive transformation. Not only is the mine wider and flatter, but the facilities along the way are also more complete.
The hundred water storage towers of Irina Tanchardak, the City of Hundred Towers, are lined up along the mouth of Irina Tower Lake, forming a water dam to drive the entire city. The steamship that can fly across the sky to avoid danger has made the Qianli White River a clear path. This avenue of Lord Ximu, known as the "White River Silver Road", has increasingly become a golden business road with daily profits.
At this time, you can see the lord's forward-looking strategic vision and the level of a lord-level player. Whether it is the Crisp Shan Barrier of the forest elves guarding the Crisp Shan Pass, or the Anis Hunting Village guarding the vast "Lake-Entrance Forest" in the upper reaches of the White River, as well as the Half Moon Mill and Baiyun Mill set along the Great Lakes and the White River. Tower City Irina Tanchardak, Coal Mining Field, White River Bay Fishing Ground, Ximucheng Port, Secuda Fort, White River Farm, Bee Wine Land Trading Post...
Every place is both a defensive fortress and a land of abundant products (to be honest, Sir, no matter what game it is, you can complete the daily life of the lord, right?).
The lord has not talked about Ximu's finances for a long time, and it is precisely because the wheels of the "White River Silver Road" are rolling and making money every day. Another important reason is that with the collapse of the Snow Tower and the erection of the Cold Tower, the Ximu collar shrouded in a protective cover can withstand the pervasive Annihilation Storm and Ash Wind. It is the safest traffic avenue.
In addition to countless gold and silver flowing on the "White River Silver Road", there are also countless "forgotten ladies". The fault I have to say is the housekeeper who was foresighted. When it was just a small town called Ximu, it built a majestic gray stone castle without any expense. Now it seems that no amount of "Mrs. Gisei Siying" can be enough.
As the old saying goes: “When you add people, you don’t need to add food, but add an extra pair of chopsticks.”
right?
"Tell my (Xueman) lord that Ximu will 'take over' the defense responsibility of the Gray Wasteland Fortress from the Imperial Legion." The lord has already made a decision.
"So, this is also the reason why Lord Balgrove used the Gray Wasteland Avenue to divide the boundaries of Ximu's territory." The housekeeper also understood: "I just want to hand over this 'hot potato' to you, my master."
"Yes, Lord Balgrove's deeper intention is that once I choose to sit back and let the caravan pass through the Crisp Shan Pass and take our White River Silver Road, it will cause the continued deterioration of Xueman's financial income. Refer to " "Lords' Convention", being unable to solve the problems for my lord is obviously a dereliction of duty on my part as Snowman Tarn." The lord thought more deeply.
"I understand." The housekeeper was completely awakened: "Lord Balgrove gave you the entire Lonely Mountain, including the Gray Wasteland Fortress, just to allow you to take over the Gray Wasteland Fortress from the empire. In this way..."
"Both the internal and external trade routes are under our control, so no matter which one we take, it's the same for us. So we won't deliberately prevent the caravans from taking the old road in the gray wasteland." The Lord smiled.
"What should we do?" Hermoeus Mora, the goddess of knowledge, was full of curiosity.
"Alicia?" The lord looked at the housekeeper.
"The guards of the Bristleshank Barrier intercepted an orc smuggler at the checkpoint in front of the Bristleshank Pass. This is his "Smuggler's Ledger."" The female housekeeper handed the lord a Smuggler's Ledger.
The first line of the ledger is Skuma. The recipient is the good old Delvin Mallory of the Skyrim Thieves Guild.
"Why, the Thieves Guild is still involved in the sale of Skuma?" The Lord couldn't help but frown.
"I have already asked Weeks, and she said that the formulas of some special magic potions that are indispensable to thieves use Skuma." The housekeeper pointed to the lord to look at the number recorded in the account book: "There are only a dozen bottles, it should be Use as a recipe.”
Nightflower Jasmine Weeks is one of the 81 recipients, so naturally she cannot lie. The lord is completely trustworthy. As the housekeeper said, a dozen bottles of Skouma is enough for an addict for half a month. So good old Delvin Mallory was definitely not smuggling Skoma for profit. Referring to the hallucinogenic effect of Skuma, it is indeed a must-have escape potion for thieves who climb over walls and slide doors to pick locks.
In the second column of magic items, the lord saw an item that was obviously from the orc language at a glance: "Staff of Hasedoki?"
"Hasugu Kiri (Hasedokki) is said to be a very enterprising orc necromancer in ancient times. He traveled around the continent of Tamriel all his life, just to find a necromancer more powerful than him. It is said that Hase Kiri, who never found an opponent who could accept his challenge, felt very lonely and isolated, and because so many people were afraid of his power, he finally bound his life force to the staff, and his soul remains to this day. Still resides within it. Necromancers across Tamriel are searching for this staff. It grants the bearer powerful defense against spells and lost ancient spells, as well as wise enlightenment and valuable philosophy of life. To any necromancer, it is undoubtedly a treasure, even comparable to a demon artifact."
"So, this is a staff with a weapon spirit." The lord suddenly became interested: "How much do we know about the orc archmage Hase Kiri?"
The housekeeper always has the answers to the lord's questions. With a gentle clap of her hands, the clockwork maid placed a newly translated ancient book on the lord's desk.
"To Raise the Living": "
'Why live in a tomb? 'The child gently pulled the orc's cloak, wanting to ask the answer.
'Just as the Emperor has his Blades at his side, so too must we have our dead. '
'What about the staff? What is it used for? Is it very powerful? '
The (female) orc replied: 'It's very powerful. The previous owner of this staff was the legendary unrivaled mage Hase Kiri. '
'If he was invincible, what killed him? '
The (female) orc glanced at the skull on the staff, as if waiting for Hase Tong's answer. But the skull on the staff still maintains an interesting expression, as if it is smiling or mocking. She had to answer for him.
Ufkul Gilgar has been thinking about this question for the past ten years, and finally gave himself an answer. During this period, she imitated Hase Kiri and spent most of her time traveling around, looking for people who could challenge her. This habit was passed down to her through the staff, and it was fate that the staff fell into her hands. But even if fate is with her, she knows full well what her fate will be, and having the staff is of little solace.
She replied: 'Only one thing can kill a mage as powerful as Hase Kiri. '
'Is it a Cliff Racer (also known as 'Cliffwing'), a large flying animal found throughout Morrowind? Magic sword? Or undead? '
'time. '
She spoke this answer based on her own experience. As time passes, the days become increasingly empty, but everything seems fleeting. As time passes, "complacement turns to boredom, and love fades to loneliness."
As a necromancer, she has the tools to resist death, but she has no control over life.
Perhaps mortals have divined an answer (to extend life). For them the answer is not magic, but children, who delay the relentless march of time. Now that she was a mother, albeit temporarily, she was no longer consumed by loneliness. Just as her father passed down the staff to her, so when the time comes, she will pass it on to her son. Perhaps it is for this reason that Hase Kiri attaches his soul to the staff, so that his soul can always be with the holder of the staff.
Ufkul placed the staff in the child's hands and watched as he waved it between the graves, as if he were using the staff as a blunt instrument. Maybe this kid wouldn't be subject to the same curse, defeated by boredom like his ancestors and Hase Kiri. Morrowind is home to many great mages, and there are always those who can pass the challenge.
Even if not, there will still be time for the next child. "
