The Elder Scrolls, Skyrim.
Skyrim Province is located in the northern region of the entire continent, similar to the location of Russia's Siberia in the Eurasian continent. In fact, except for the greatly reduced land area, most of the conditions in Skyrim Province are similar to Russia's Far East. .
First of all, because the territory of Skyrim Province is entirely in the frigid and sub- frigid zones, the winter time in the year is extremely long. Even in the high-altitude areas within the territory, there is still a large amount of ice and snow that does not melt all year round. As we know, short daylight hours and too low temperatures will inevitably greatly affect crop yields in Skyrim Province;
Secondly, the entire terrain of Skyrim Province is as if the Holy Spirits of Creation are joking with the residents of Skyrim Province - the entire Skyrim Province is higher in the south and lower in the north, with mountains and ravines in the south and endless hills in the north. zone.
Most of those areas in the south with slightly more sunshine are rolling mountains and swamps! Only those small canyons that are occasionally scattered can be reclaimed into precious cultivated land. Then relying on these limited cultivated lands, slightly larger settlements were born - Holy Land Town is one of these valleys. Most of the time, as long as a shovelful of digging brings up soil instead of rock, it's considered a good piece of land worth farming.
As for the kind that is common in the Northeast, where there is water and is easy to farm, and there are fertile fields nearby where forests lock in water vapor and protect from wind and rain, it is probably almost like heaven to the Nords. There are few such lands in the entire Skyrim Province. If there are, most of them are concentrated near Whiterun City in the hinterland. Whoever dares to have an idea there, the stalwart will bring a bunch of muscles to teach him how to behave.
Although the northern part of Skyrim Province has a large area of hills, plains and criss-crossing rivers, for most of the year, there is nothing but endless white. In addition to being able to grow "snow fruit", a crop that can grow slowly in winter, those farms located in the middle and lower reaches of the White River can also produce wheat crops in large quantities. It is precisely because of its unique agricultural resources, as well as the White River and coastal water transportation systems that Fengduo City has gradually developed into an important town in the north.
By the way, Windhelm is the home of Ulfric Stormcloak and the headquarters of the Resistance. Having said that, if there was no agriculture and shipping in Windhelm City, why would he be able to compete with Dugu City, which was backed by the empire? Even if the empire is in its twilight years, it still has enough resources to supply Dugu City to fight a civil war in the sky...
From what has been said above, we know that Skyrim Province is just like Siberia in Russia - agriculture is a tragedy!
However, the land area of Skyrim Province is far smaller than that of Siberia... But fortunately, although the severe cold has seriously curbed the development of agriculture in Skyrim Province, it has also curbed its population growth. To put it cruelly, the aborigines who were born and grew up healthily here are the strongest ones after the survival of the fittest. Therefore, although the resources are poor, they are still enough to be distributed, and the gap between the rich and the poor in Skyrim Province is not large.
For these strong aborigines, hunting is enough to survive, and although their lives are poor, they are not difficult.
Inhabiting the land and raising its people, the natural environment can deeply affect the customs and customs of a place - although the Nords always claim to be foreign conquerors. But as long as you have seen the towering architectural ruins built by the ancient Nords, you can guess that compared with the ancients, today's Nords have long degenerated into barbaric remnants similar to savages... They are lost Not only the customs and a large population, but also the technology and cultural heritage brought...
The above is what Lu Yuan gained in the past six months when he took Alona over the snow-capped mountains, crossed the Shiya Border from Baimanling, swam across the Shiya River, and arrived at the White Coast.
If you want to list the active non-governmental organizations in Skyrim Province, or analyze the magic system of the scroll world, etc. With the help of the information obtained in the game, Lu Yuan can also speak clearly.
But these are all false, or delusional. Just like the system Lu Yuan used back then, can an independent individual really be completely defined with six attributes and nine camps? You need to know how complex people and human nature are, and they have not been studied and understood for thousands of years! Any process of digitizing and digitizing reality is a highly abstract process. It is a convenient but radically distorting process that can be used to define reality but is insufficient to describe it.
If Lu Yuan takes the information in the game seriously, then he is just kidding.
But this time, Lu Yuan took it seriously. Because this is a decisive battle that puts the lives of everyone in the Dawn Group on the gambling table!
Only the journey he took on foot for six months - a journey in which he got lost in the desolate wilderness several times, encountered countless bandits and wild beast attacks, and almost froze to death in a cave due to the cold current in late autumn - - can truly tell him what the Nords are and what Skyrim is.
"Lu Yuan, you are a bastard! Hey, did you hear that?" The girl weakly yelled at the man in front of her, "You are a big bastard!"
The man in front picked his ears and continued to drive the oxcart forward. Not to mention arguing back with the girl, he didn't even bother to reply. "I knew it would be like this," Alona thought in frustration and simply closed her mouth. When Lu Yuan started pretending to be dead, arguing with him was a waste of energy. Moreover, Alona knew that this was because Lu Yuan was quite merciful to her - she had really seen Lu Yuan's ability - this person could make the person who was quarreling with him half-dead with just a change of expression without saying anything. !
It’s quite scary to think about it.
This is a sandy road that leads through hills covered with long, thick grass. It's late autumn now, and the withered yellow grass stretches all the way to the sky. The endless dark yellow color is extremely monotonous after looking at it for a long time. But compared to the desolate snow color of the White Coast, I don’t know how good it is.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The oxcart travels slowly and only on foot, covering only twenty or thirty miles a day.
In this regard, Nana has already accepted her fate - just like Lu Yuan said, "I am afraid of comparison in everything." Compared to the "White Wasteland" cold wave that suddenly blew that night, and the cruel scene of thousands of miles of ice in the blink of an eye, Alona didn't want to experience it a second time even if she died! Imagine that in the severe cold of minus 40 degrees, the extreme ice storm swept away every trace of heat from the body. It snowed heavily all night, causing every step he took to cover half of his body, and his hands and feet were so cold that he lost consciousness. At that time, the two of them were not so much walking as climbing on the snow...
That's right, two gods who were so stupid that they banned their divine power were just a little bit short of becoming ice sculptures left on the snowy field.
Nowadays, there are oxcarts pulling goods, and occasionally you can take a ride on them. How much better than trekking in the snowy fields!
But none of this can change the fact that Lu Yuan is a bastard! Thinking of everything she had gone through, Nana gritted her teeth again! What she has experienced in the past six months has never been experienced even in her trillions of years of life!
Two people and one car slowly creaked up the hill. Being able to climb high in the open autumn day and see far away finally relieved Alona's depression a little. Especially when she saw the smoke rising from cooking stoves and the scattered fields of farmland in the distance, she became even more excited. At this moment, she began to look forward to Nord mead, a soft bed of hay, and a hot bath. Not to mention the noisy crowd, the jerks making rude jokes, the fruits and food...ah, I'm so looking forward to it!
God knows, if the main god Nana was allowed to sleep on a straw bed half a year ago, she would definitely think someone was crazy!
Standing on the top of the hill, she looked at the road behind...there was no one there. Look ahead, there is still no one except that bastard... This is a good opportunity!
With lightning speed, Alona reached behind her and rubbed her butt twice - there were two rows of teeth marks bitten by wolves...

ps: After the surgery, I decided to just take some time off to collect materials, that’s it. After moving, I was surrounded by unfamiliar places, and my living space was too closed, which led to my increasingly depleted inspiration.
You know that one of my sources of inspiration is games, but I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I played games. This time I simply took advantage of the recovery period to have fun in one go! Those who have passed the customs cumulatively include,,,. I feel full of energy now! 8
