"Okay, I forgive you."
In the second-floor compartment of the Mare Banner, Cisco Moon was wiping his bald head with a towel, and said to Sophie who was about to cry with an unbearable expression.
"Hey, stop wiping, dragons don't have saliva." Arthur patted Sophie on the head and glared at Cisco Moon: "And it's obviously your fault for smelling like a beast."
Dragons do not have saliva. Arthur has confirmed this when he was in the dragon form. Although he cannot breathe, he also has two dragon roars. If there is something in his mouth when he makes a dragon roar, it will only be choked. There is no doubt that , when those giant dragons eat, they bite it open and swallow it directly.
"Ha, are you trying to take a group of wolf cubs across the Snowman territory in the werewolf form?" Cisco Moon picked up a rabbit leg on the table and bit it: "There was a stupid guard outside the city who asked me Went to walk the dog, I just gave him a 'horrible roar' and scared him so much that he jumped into the river."
what is that? Some kind of dragon roar? Arthur turned his head to look at Ella who was following him.
"A piercing roar in the form of a beast, which is very unpleasant to hear. If the creature that hears it is not determined, it will be frightened and run around." Ella pointed to her neck: "And it is not good for the throat."
"Did you ask anything from that vampire?" Cisco Moon threw away the towel: "Silver Hand will immediately cut off all clues that can be obtained from it after receiving the news that the fortress was attacked."
"Unfortunately, that guy didn't know much. He only asked for information about two locations, 'Filheimer Castle' and 'Treva Watchtower'. The former is just a liaison office, while the latter only has a name." Arthur answered.
"That castle is quite famous. It is located in the north of Snowrun and at the border with the territory of Morningstar City." Cisco Yue narrowed her one eye and chewed the bones: "I have never heard of this Cuiwa sentry tower. Maybe it's just Silver The hand is named privately.”
"So we have to find other people to ask." Ella tilted her head and looked towards the lobby on the first floor. Satya, who had a reddish complexion, was shuttling between a group of drunk customers. In view of the fact that she had knocked over a group of red customers with her bare hands not long ago. With the record of Wei Scimitar, those drunkards only dared to stare at her exposed skin and curves, and did not dare to take action at all.
"You think too highly of her. Even if the tavern is well-informed, it is impossible to know the secret information of Silver Hand." Cisco Yue's actions reawakened his hunger, and Arthur also began to take food and feed it to Su. Fei.
Although he had dealt with Satya several times and had a good impression, Arthur had always been a little uncomfortable. At first, he really thought that she was a helpless hotel maid who went out to work. She would be afraid of giants or something like that. It’s weird, it’s all acting! Even the current identity of the "information dealer disguised as a maid" may not be his true identity.
"The intelligence system of our comrades-in-arms does not cover the same range. Otherwise, how do you think those commissions came from?" Aila withdrew her gaze: "But because there is no confidentiality at all, many members even work part-time as messengers, and Silver Hand concealed it in a targeted manner. It would be impossible to detect it.”
"If there is no other way, we can only raid the castle as planned in order to obtain further information." Arthur gave Sophie a plate of candied fruit feast, which was eaten together with the plate.
Although there are "prophecies" about the resurrection of dragons and the end of the world, three of the four dragons that have appeared so far have been killed. Compared with the emergence of dragonborn and dragon-slaying warriors, Helgen was destroyed. Now that he was no longer paying attention, Arthur touched Sophie's head.
No, it should be five. The first black dragon named "Alduin" has been trying to resurrect other dragons, but obviously the effect is not good. Therefore, compared with those dragons, this group is obviously planning something. Silverhand, whose members are all vampires, is the first problem that needs to be solved.
"Several comrades~ What a rare visitor~" Satya walked in holding a dinner plate, completely ignoring the disappearing food and cutlery and putting new food on the plate on the table, and placed a few bottles of mead: " The mead here is naturally not as good as Yuehuaska, so it’s a gift~”
Give away? Arthur looked at the note under the wine bottle. It was information about Loristedt's "Dragon Slayer". Compared with the circulated news, it included "He has an adventurer friend who escaped from Helgen" and "It was clearly inserted, but the dragon's head was cut off." Such information.
"There are probably Blade Runners involved," Cisco snorted, "It's just that they are not happy to show up, and being robbed of their reputation by that guy is exactly what they want."
"In terms of 'Blade'—" "No, we're not interested in those people."
Arthur waved his hand to interrupt Satya. Seeing that Sophie had no special expression, he breathed a sigh of relief when he was still chewing a piece of bread that could not be swallowed directly: "Do you know where the 'Treva Watchtower' is?"
"Well...I'm not very sure..." Satya raised her hand and twisted her fingers around the ends of her hair.
"Hulda! Give us a bottle of aged black thorn mead!" Cisco Moon greeted downstairs loudly.
"Wait? I mean-" Satya paused.
"Two bottles!" Arthur also chimed in. Anyway, there was nothing to gain when searching Gallows Rock.
"I don't know if you don't believe it?" Satya rolled his eyes.
"Three bottles!" Ella shouted.
"There is no other way. I will tell you all the relevant information I know." The Red Guard maid spread her hands and said helplessly: "It's definitely not worth so much."
"Four - um!" Sophie, who found this matter very interesting, also planned to increase the pressure, but Ella immediately covered her mouth.
——21:00——
Although it was late, the Longxiao Palace was still brightly lit. The fire pit in the center of the meeting hall emitted a bright light, while the chandeliers and candles from the huge candlesticks on the surrounding walls illuminated other dark corners. Although Sophie wanted to follow , but Arthur was afraid that she would do something after seeing the dragon head hanging on the wall of the Lord's Hall, so he asked Ella to take her back to Yuvaska.
"You can visit at will. There is no problem with accommodation or meals. But if you want to go to the residential area to see the lord, please wait for our notification." The guard of Longxiao Palace said to Arthur.
"Thank you, but no need. I'm here to see Proventus Avenci, the steward. Where is he?" Arthur asked.
"Mr. Steward is having a night drink in Sleepy Dragon Hall. You can go find him on your own." The guard pointed towards the back of the hall.
Obviously, the fact that Arthur killed the dragon and became the legendary dragonborn has been widely spread among the guards. The Snowman guards, almost all composed of Nords, are naturally curious about him, otherwise it would be so late and there would be no Visitors reporting emergencies are generally turned away.
The Hall of the Trapped Dragon is a huge open hall at the back of the Dragon Sky Palace. According to the original story, the one-eyed Olaf challenged the dragon Furymenax here. After the furious Furymenax rushed in, he was trapped in a pre-designed trap. Trapped – This story has been questioned by many, how could One-Eyed Olaf be so cunning? It was probably a suggestion from a smart person around him, but this did not prevent the nobles from setting up a banquet here, and imitating Olaf in the story and shouting a few words after getting drunk.
When Arthur found Avenci, he was pouring and drinking to himself at a banquet with only one person, facing the night sky, with the flashy long sword on his back. It was obvious that he had almost lost face in the previous series of incidents. Empty.
"Huh? It's our Lord Baron. What's the matter?" The lord steward obviously drank a little too much and knighted Arthur without authorization.
"I want to check the list of wanted criminals in Xueman Territory," Arthur asked directly without bothering to correct his name, "Is there a person or group named 'Treva'?"
"Yes!" Arthur originally just wanted to get permission to access the information, but unexpectedly, the dizzy Avinci answered decisively.
"'Trevar' is a person and a gang of bandits, just like Ulfric Stormcloak and his 'Stormcloaks.'" Avensi continued: "They were very active about a year ago , taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks, they took advantage of everything, and finally angered Lord Balgruuf. The handsome army personally drove them out of Xueman's territory. The last intelligence about these people showed that they were fleeing. Heading towards the Rift Valley, the follow-up information is unknown, and they may have been wiped out by the locals."
"Well..." Arthur pondered, comparing these contents with the information dug out from Satya.
According to Satya, she has been in the province for three years, and it can be determined that there is no place named "Cuiwa" that can be called a "post tower". This can only prove that this "Cuiwa post tower" is a private The recent naming here was probably changed by the bandits after it was occupied, and the names given by the bandits will naturally not be immediately included in the maps of the lords everywhere - what if they turn around and are wiped out.
For three bottles of aged mead, Satya specially provided the names of strongholds and fortresses that originally had owners but have been occupied by bandits in recent years. Among them, there is only one such stronghold in the direction of the rift valley, and its name is "Si. Taleo Manor", and the original owner of this manor, Taleo, was a very good silversmith and blacksmith.
Although I don’t know if Silverhand has other strongholds, all the nodes on this line are already there, including the "Treva Watch Tower" for making weapons, the Gallows Rock Fortress for making leather goods, the Fellheimer Castle for transportation and resale, and The outpost of the attack on Snowman, the Dustman Cairn. These locations are not related to each other but are intertwined. The leaders of Silver Hand probably did not expect that the entire arrangement would be exposed due to a failed robbery by the bandits of Baihe Gaoyan. out.
If this line is completely overturned, Silverhand will never sit idly by and ignore it. When they take action, it will be the day when this vampire organization is destroyed. In addition, isn't Director Avenci very talented?
