The town was cleared of a space that happened to be located in the original square where someone had been beheaded. 』Tian "Lai Xiao" said www. ⒉

Skyrim is a kingdom with long winters and relatively scarce resources. Therefore, Nords cherish the resources they already have, whether it is a stone or a tree. After clearing the space, the wood found from the ruins was stacked in a rectangular area, shaped like a bonfire pyre, and the stones were piled neatly around the pyre.

As a stone with dragon fire was thrown into the pyre, the flames of the pyre rose, and all the Nords cheered from the bottom of their hearts!

The firepit is always the first building a Nord builds. Even though the dragon flames around here are still burning relentlessly, even melting stones, the whole Helgen is surging with heat. But the stubborn Nords still followed tradition and chose a site and built a firepit.

Because the fire pit symbolizes the heat and light that survives the harsh winter, the scalding food and the brightness that drives away wild beasts. In the hearts of the Nords, its status is second only to Talos and dragons.

Many outsiders, when they walk into a Nord's room, they can always see a fire pit in the middle of the house, which is never extinguished all year round. Outsiders think that when the Nords built their houses, the first domestic building was the firepit - this is actually wrong! The Nords built the firepit first and then built houses around the firepit!

Like Helgen, a big house will be built around this huge firepit in the future that can accommodate all residents! In the future, it will become the meeting hall of the town or the residence of the lord. In short, the reconstruction work of Helgen began as this fire pit was ignited...

The Nords didn't even have the luxury of grieving for themselves, so they started a new reincarnation on the ruins without hesitation.

As a self-entertaining "player", Lu Yuan is quite satisfied with what he has done since entering the world.

Although The Elder Scrolls is an open world, it is not 100% free.

Although it is not like Assassin's Creed, the main plot cannot be changed - even if you train the character to be as powerful as killing gods, the plot will still teach you how to become a great slayer - The Elder Scrolls is not like this. But this world is still filled with a lot of "plot killings"! For example, the horse thief at the beginning of the world will definitely be killed by the imperial female captain for escaping; and for example, most of the residents living in Helgen will eventually die from Alduin's dragon fire...can be regarded as the "destined protagonist" You, but you can never change the fate of these people to die!

You can only succumb to the plot, follow Hadava (Empire line) or Ralof (Stormcloak line), and escape from Helgen like a mouse! Then in the days to come, pretend that nothing happened, and bury the tragedy of Helgen in the depths of your memory... Even when you wander around Skyrim, you will deliberately avoid the ruins of Helgen.

Even if one day you have grown into a Dragonborn, a Baron of the Nine Territories, the Master of the Shield Friends, the Dark Brotherhood, the Thieves Guild, the Mage Guild, the Bard Academy, the Dragon Slayer, and the Arbitrator of War, The hero who saves the world...you will never forget that initial feeling of powerlessness! The memory of Helgen will remain in your heart like a scar forever! The only thing you can do is probably complain inexplicably with grief and anger, "Damn, I was just a kid back then!"

——But now Lao 6 has done it!

Isn't the crime of a little thief worthy of death? no problem. Lu Yuan tripped the little thief and gave him a big somersault. Although the little thief was bruised and bruised, he was still alive and became one of the survivors after the destruction of the town of Helgen.

Are you unhappy with that Bichi, the female captain of the empire? no problem! She cut off her own legs, and finally turned into ashes in the dragon's flames...

Lu Yuan seemed to see subtitles popping up in front of his eyes - [You have completed the hidden mission: kill the female captain of the empire], [You have completed the hidden mission: Save a hundred civilians], [You have touched the hidden mission : Rebuilding Helgen]... No matter what others think, Lu Yuan is quite satisfied with what he has done.

Having personally changed an "unchangeable" plot, this sense of accomplishment in creating history is irreplaceable.

"Main mission? What is that?"

The newly lit fire pit seemed to give Hadawa new strength. He reluctantly stood up and asked Lu Yuan casually. Regarding the issue of Lu Yuan, Hadawa did not think deeply about it. He is now inspired by the newly lit fire pit, the Nord blood in his body is burning, and he can't wait to join the work of rebuilding Helgen!

"Can we not be joking?" Hearing Hadawa's words, a big drop of sweat appeared on Lu Yuan's head. "A dragon that is said to be extinct appears in Helgen. Don't you want to notify someone quickly? For example, in Ximu Town Arvor? Lord Balgruuf the Great in Whiterun?"

"No need, I'm just an ordinary imperial secretary. Lord Balgruuf has General Tullius' people to deliver the message. As for Ximu Town... Larov should inform them about the dragon news. I just saw it Until he escapes," Hadawa waved his hand casually, "If I bump into him in Ximu Town, it will be a problem for both him and me. So it's better not to meet him. Besides, even if we don't Notice, Ximu Town will also be alert when they see the black smoke after the fire here."

"Is that so?" Lu Yuan and Hadawa's eyes met. After a short confrontation, Lu Yuan said, "I understand!"

Yes, he understood - all the reasons Hadawa said were false! The real reason is that Hadawa wants to stay and lead the survivors to rebuild Helgen! Wanting to help the survivors of Helgen was certainly one of the reasons; personal ambition was probably also part of it. Hadava no longer wants to participate in the war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks. He wants to leave the Empire and even wants people to mistakenly think that he has died in Helgen... With the degree of control the Empire has over Skyrim, it may have to wait until Helgen is restored. Prosperity, only after the caravan spreads the news can we know the fact that Hadawa is not dead.

But by then, the honest man Hadawa has probably become the de facto mayor of Helgen, and he can even have power comparable to that of a small lord in this land! No longer an unknown little clerk. At that time, no matter who has the upper hand, the Empire or the Stormcloaks, they can only choose to win over this force with benefits instead of settling old scores. Maybe Hadawa could enter the ranks of the nobility from this.

Just understand these things in your heart, there is no need to say them out loud.

Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Hadawa blushed, knowing that his thoughts had been seen through. With the character of the Nords, it is already extremely difficult to show some skill, so don't force it on you. And having said that, if Lu Yuan wants to replace him, he can do it in minutes, don’t make it too easy!

But Lu Yuan had no intention of doing that. First, he had his own plan. Although it is said that "plans cannot change as fast as they do", it is best not to change plans at will. No matter how bad the plan is, it is better than no plan at all. Furthermore, he does not like this town with only a hundred people.

No money, no mines, no population, located among mountains, with inconvenient transportation and small farmland... It has no merit except for its hidden location!

How can such a hardware foundation support my "horse musket phalanx plan to flatten Tianji Province" (there is no such plan at all)!

So Lu Yuan left decisively.

"If I happen to pass by Ximu Town..."

"Please tell Siegel quietly... no, please tell Arvo that I am safe and sound."

"Tell me! What is your relationship with Arvo's wife!?"

Walk on the road and sing loudly.

The strong wind blew across the hills, and above was the endless sky.

There is no need to elaborate on the scenery along the way, but the distance from Helgen to Whiterun City... is actually very far!

Didn't we agree that we could run there in ten minutes (in the game)? ! Firstly, I didn't pick up girls, deliver letters, or practice blacksmithing in Ximu Town. Secondly, I didn't take the S-shaped route to open the map. Why are you doing this to me! With the current traffic level, Lu Yuan wanted to rush from Helgen to Bairun City - even if he bypassed Ximu Town directly, he would actually have to spend three days and four nights on the road! Thinking about having to run all over the world to complete those damn "errands and delivering letters" tasks, it was really frustrating.

Skyrim is the largest province in the empire, famous for its vast territory and sparse population...

"Why are you doing this to me!" Lao Lu shouted to the sky, then stole a horse and continued running towards the snow-covered city far away on the skyline.

At this point in the book, it seems like it’s time to talk about the main plot of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim——

There is a continent on Nirn called Tamriel. There are nine provinces on Tamriel, including Skyrim, Cyrodiil, Morrowind, and Summerset Island. The main plot of Scroll 5 is the story of the Skyrim Province, which takes place in the nine major provinces. By the way, Skyrim Province is divided into nine major territories... It has a strong Internet style.

Because as mentioned above, several major prophecies in the Elder Scrolls world have appeared one after another. This means that the world-destroying dragon Alduin will surely come and end this cycle. From the perspective of nature, everything must die after birth. It does not seem to be a "bad thing" to restart the world to clean up the memory garbage and then start over with a cleaner appearance.

However, for the people living in this world and their descendants, it is a disaster! It is something that must be stopped with all our strength! Under this expectation, as the only hope in despair, the protagonist Dragonborn came into being.

Originally, Alduin, as the aloof apocalyptic dragon, was even more powerful than most Holy Spirits and Demon Gods! It cannot be touched by mortals, let alone defeated by tiny mortals! But just at this time, Alduin was bound by the power of the Dragon Cult's faith. The god fell into the mortal world and was imprisoned in the body of an evil black dragon - which gave the Dragonborn the power to defeat it and prevent the destruction of the world. Opportunity!

This is great isn't it?

I don’t know whether it was Alduin’s awakening that awakened the Dragonborn, or the appearance of the Dragonborn that awakened Alduin—in short, as the wheel of fate rolled forward, the fates of the Dragonborn and Alduin were closely linked. Together! The attack on the town of Helgen was Alduin's first appearance. After that, Alduin will resurrect the dragons that died in ancient times, and command the dragon army to frequently attack major cities in Skyrim.

The protagonist, the Dragonborn, will also awaken the "dragon roar" ability. He climbs to the top of the "Throat of the World" mountain and learns the way of dragon roar from Graybeard. And use this to stop the dragon army, finally defeat Alduin and save the world!

Under this main line, against the background of the fall of the Empire and the invasion of elves, there are also the war against the faith of Talos, the war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks, werewolves and the Silver Hand, vampires and the Dawnguard, the rise and fall of magic, and the Thieves Guild. The downfall and so on, entangled and complicated...

Sounds lofty? However, all of the above are hearsay! Old 6 has never been there.

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan is most familiar with the three main missions. The so-called "three starting tasks" are the first three tasks in the main line in addition to the novice teaching area of ​​Helgen:

The first one is a message delivery mission. Go to Longlin Castle in Whiterun City, notify Lord Balgruuf, "The dragon is coming!" and the mission is completed. Get a piece of tattered equipment, so_easy; the second one is an exploration mission. Help Lord Balgruuf's magic advisor to rob tombs in the Hanluo Mountains to find a stone slab called "Dragon Stone"; the third mission is a combat mission. After retrieving the dragon stone, Lord Balgruuf will tell you that we already know the location of the dragon.

Young man, I'm very optimistic about you. Let's go slay the dragon with my captain of the bodyguard! Haha~

Haha, your sister! That's a giant dragon! Alduin can summon a devastating meteor shower with a single spell, causing all the Nords in the town and the Imperial Army to flee. Helgen was completely destroyed, but Alduin was unscathed from start to finish. Dragon, is it really that easy to kill? !

Besides, what kind of scumbag game is it that would design the third mission to slay a dragon? Can this game be played? Let me tell you, this scumbag company B is taking jujube pills!

Lu Yuan just complained and rode his horse into the distance. The horse's hooves break through the morning mist, splashing some dust, and you can see Baiman City in the distance.

Whiterun City is the home of Whiterun, one of the nine major territories in Skyrim Province.

She is located in the heart of the entire Skyrim Province, and is known as the most prosperous city in the Skyrim Province. In fact, it only has 4,000 permanent residents. Due to the wall surrounding the city, even though there were only four thousand people, the city was still crowded. Commoners mostly lived on nearby farms, and only nobles, soldiers, merchants and craftsmen could live in the city. Even in the world of Baldur's Gate, this scale cannot be called a big city.

But the scenery of Whiterun City is excellent.

Not to mention the White River that goes around the city, the endless boats and the white mist that lingers all day long, and the "Throat of the World" mountain range that you can see in the distance. Just say that the unique city built on the mountain is full of the cultural characteristics and vicissitudes of the Nord people. The three major areas of cloud area, wind area and wilderness area are even more scattered, and people come and go, which has a unique flavor.

6 When we arrived at the gate of Whiterun City from afar, we saw such a scene.

He didn't meet any of the giant-fighting shield mates on the way, and Whiterun didn't have its gates closed as if facing a formidable enemy - on the contrary, when he dismounted, the city gates were wide open, allowing the bustling crowd to do whatever they wanted. In and out! There were even four colorful flags planted on the left and right of the city gate.

This is far different from what Lu Yuan imagined!

"What's going on? Are you celebrating any festival?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but grabbed a pedestrian and asked.

"You don't know?" the pedestrian asked in surprise, "Of course it's a celebration! The mighty Lord Balgruuf sent his warriors to kill the giant dragon that invaded Whiterun City!" The pedestrian looked up to the heights with reverence. In the direction of Long Linbao, he said with admiration, "He is indeed the stalwart we respect! Anyone who offends our Baiman City will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

Even if you are far away, you will be a pig... Were you a keyboard warrior in your previous life? etc!

"What?! You said the dragon has been killed!"
