lost narrative poem

190 The Return

Today in Xueman City is a nice sunny day, the warm sun is shining down, the clear water of Baihe River is rushing, it makes a big circle around Xueman City, and then rushes into the distance.

The large plains outside the city have been cleaned up, and there are only a few places where the wreckage and traces of the old war can be seen. Farm buildings have also been erected again, and many lands have resumed production.

Under the powerful ripening of the magic potion, each crop can mature in just a few days, and then be quickly harvested and replanted... Although it is not a long-term solution, it has been greatly eased. Snowman City was under pressure from previous wars.

And on the western sentry tower of Snowman City, a group of heavily armed guards were watching the surroundings while chatting and bragging.

"I often think, maybe I am also a dragonborn, but I just haven't found it."

"Come on, the mage has already gone to slay the dragon with the group of adventurers, and we are still here as guards."

"That's right, if you were a dragonborn, you wouldn't be standing with us on this sentry tower now..."

"I was an adventurer like that bunch until I got an arrow in the knee."

Unknowingly, the topic turned to the one thing that men desire most, whether they are teenagers or adults.That's right, regarding the legend of dragon slaying, they can't wait to replace the powerful hero in the story.

If it's just pure rumors and fantasies, it's fine, but is there not much that happened in this year?

First, the legendary giant dragon returned to the province of Skyrim, and then the birth of the last dragonborn, especially the latter, a savior hero with unknown origin and the power of dragonborn, came to the world in a mistaken collision. Skyrim province, and was inadvertently rescued by the mortal enemy Alduin, and since then started his own legendary adventure to defeat Alduin and save Skyrim and the whole world.

It sounds like this plot is too routine, but it happened in reality.

Even the lost with foresight can't figure out the truth about the Dragonborn. No matter how hard they search, they can't find out. Some unknown force seized the house and became a dragonborn, and most of the previous memories were lost.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a protagonist template.

But these ordinary Skyrim people don't know, the only thing they know is that the dragonborn was originally an ordinary person, but was involved in the imperial army's capture of Ulfric Stormcloak when crossing the border of Skyrim province. During the ambush, he was captured together with Ulfric and many generals of the Stormcloak Rebel Army, and was taken to the town of Holy Land for execution.

However, at the time of execution, because the legendary World Devourer Alduin attacked the Holy Land Town, he just escaped the end of being beheaded. After escaping, he accepted the entrustment of the villagers of Ximu Town and came to Xueman City to report.

Then a series of events happened, and finally successfully slayed the dragon and absorbed the dragon soul, and was proved the identity of the dragonborn.

These Snowman City guards don't think so much, they only know that the background of the Dragonborn is very close to theirs, and they are not born noble, or already famous heroic warriors.

It's an ordinary person who becomes a legendary hero because of an adventure...

It's really immersive and makes them feel very yearning.Moreover, the slaying of the dragon was not just a rumor, but a big event that actually happened and they witnessed it with their own eyes.

Not to mention that it was the first time for the Dragonborn to slay a dragon for the first time, not long ago, Xueman City also killed an incoming dragon... These are all things they have witnessed, and it is natural to have fantasies one thing.

After all, they have been standing guard here in the western sentry tower all the time, and there is no other entertainment to speak of.

"Speaking of which, Master Mage seems to have set off to slay the dragon half a month ago, and he hasn't returned yet. Could it be that something happened?"

While talking, a guard seemed to remember something, and looked in a certain direction worriedly. Half a month ago, he saw with his own eyes that mysterious and powerful mage leading a team out of the city. Leave in that direction.

It's been so long, until now, but he hasn't seen them come back, which makes him a little worried.

"Come on, you haven't been there at all, so you don't know how far it is. It will take five or six days on the way, and it will take five or six days to come back. Isn't it normal that the mage hasn't come back yet?"

Another veteran guard who seemed to have been to the mine over there was not panicked at all, and said slowly——

"And aren't there still those strange people who continue to follow? Although their identities are questionable, their abilities are worth mentioning. One person is worth at least a hundred of us. There is nothing to worry about. "

"It's true..." The guard who spoke before thought for a while, felt that it made sense, nodded subconsciously, and at the same time vigorously moved his sore neck, looking in the direction of Xueman City from the corner of his eyes.

In the Yunding District, there is a group of palaces towering into the sky, majestic and majestic Longxiao Palace, as magnificent as ever.

Among the surrounding palaces, there is a strange tower-shaped building. It does not know when it appeared. It reflects the dazzling light under the sun. It is yellow and clear, like the luster of copper, or like flowing gold.

For a moment, he seemed to have an illusion. He always felt that the tower was more magnificent than the Throat of the World in the distance, as if it was the center of the whole world, and all the power and influence between the heaven and the earth were faintly concentrated, and could not flow on it. interest.

It seemed to run through the origin and the end, the great spectacle containing all the mysteries of the world, made his mind completely lost for a moment, and even had the urge to kneel down and worship with tears in his eyes.

"Huh? When was a new tower built in the city..."

As the guard of Snowrun City, this person has a high level of education as a matter of course, at least he can understand the content of the announcement or the reward order, but it is limited to this, and I want to expect him to blurt out immediately, witty words, with a bunch of gorgeous words Words are generous in describing the tower.

Or he was so excited that he read two poems on the spot, these are impossible...

He didn't even understand the reason for the urge to cry in his heart, but subconsciously stopped all his movements in surprise, and wanted to rub his eyes, but was blocked by the helmet.

After such a delay, when he raised his head again, he found that the direction was still the palace complex of Longxiao Palace. The outline of the buildings was something he had seen countless times in the past, and he was already familiar with it. Could not be more familiar.

Although it is majestic, majestic and majestic, it can be called a majestic scene, but there is no golden tower soaring into the sky, surrounded by the surrounding buildings like stars and moons.

"..."

"..."

"Where is it? You have to find a good reason to lie, right?" The others squinted their eyes and stared for a long time, then turned their heads to look at the guy who came with his mouth open, and cast suspicious glances.

"Maybe... I read it wrong." Even the guard was a little unsure, raised his fist in confusion and knocked on his helmet. Is there something wrong with his eyes or is there too much eye contact?

"Wait, look over there, it seems that our people have come back? Are they Master Mage?"

At this time, someone saw a neat team appearing at the far end of the road. After watching carefully, he took a breath, and his tone of voice changed——

"...Oh my God, they seem to have really killed another dragon, and I saw the head of that big lizard!"

……

……

When the team entered the city, they deliberately put the specially cut dragon head on the cart and pushed it in.

Snowman City was crowded with people, and the people lined up on both sides to welcome them. They couldn't wait to see the birth of another heroic epic about dragon slaying. Originally, the legend of the Dragon Cloud Palace in Xueman City was already enough for people to talk about.

However, in the current era, there have been three consecutive instances of dragon slaying. It seems that this era is more dire than the historical era where the legendary Nord hero One-eyed King Olaf lived. massacre.

People don’t think about the influence of various factors, and they don’t know that this is not the age of mythology. The so-called slaughtered dragons have long been undead who have died for endless years, but they were recreated by Alduin. Awaken the resurrection...

Even if there are people in the know, they will not take the initiative to stand up and popularize science. After all, why do science popularize?People won't believe it, and it doesn't do them any good to explain things like this.

Xueman City urgently needs such a booster. The people only need to know that Xueman is very powerful and can deal with all crises, and that's it.

"Mage? Mage!"

Xia Ran rode a pony and walked slowly at the end of the team, listening to the cheers and shouts of the people in front and on both sides like landslides and tsunami, with an absent-minded look.

On the way back just now, when he crossed the last hillside and saw Xueman City, he seemed to see a golden tower, which directly caught his attention from a distance.

It's hard to say what kind of feeling it is. To be precise, it's not because the tower is too obvious, so let him see it directly, but... the moment he saw it, he felt that he seemed to see the truth Mysterious wisdom began to surge in my mind.

In just a short moment, he actually felt as if he had understood something, but he couldn't tell what information he had received.

Moreover, I don't know if he had hallucinations, but just for a moment, the high tower disappeared directly.

From the time he came back all the way until he entered Xueman City, he stared at the Yunding area very carefully, but unfortunately he couldn't see the shadow of that tower again...

"Mage?"

Um?Xia Ran's absent-minded state was broken, and she looked up at the vampire lady next to her, who had already put on the space suit again.

He asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"We are going to go directly to the lord to receive rewards, and then go to the sky furnace, do you want to go together?"

the vampire girl asked.
