As soon as the Silver Road connecting Cyrodiil passes Helgen, the sky portal, it becomes the "Lord's Avenue" that runs through Ximu. On the basis of the original stone road, the Lord carried out a comprehensive transformation. It is not only flatter and wider, but also along the way.

The facilities are also more complete.

The hundred water storage towers of Irina Tanchardak, the city of hundreds of towers, are lined up along the mouth of Irina Tower Lake, forming a water dam to drive the entire city. Steamships that can fly across the sky to avoid danger have also allowed steamships to fly across the city.

Thousands of miles of white rivers have turned into a thoroughfare. Known as the "White River Silver Road", Lord Ximu Avenue has increasingly become a golden business road that makes money every day.

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 fragile shin barrier of the forest elves guarding the crisp shin pass, or the vast "Hukou Forest" guarding the upper reaches of the White River.

(Lake-Entrance Forest)" Annis Hunting Village, as well as the Half Moon Mill along the Great Lake and Baihe River, the City of Hundred Towers Irina Tanchardak, the Coal Mining Field, Baihe Bay Fishing Ground, Ximucheng Port, Sai

Kudar Castle, White River Farm, Bee Wine Trading Post...

Each place is both a defensive fortress and a place rich in products (to be honest, Sir, no matter what game it is, you can play it as a lord's daily life, 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, the tower of the cold tower has shrouded under the protective cover.

The Brook Wood Collar can withstand the all-pervasive Annihilation Storm and Ash Wind. It is the safest transportation avenue.

In addition to countless gold and silver flowing on the "White River Silver Road", there are also countless "forgotten ladies". The biggest credit is to the housekeeper who was foresighted. At the beginning, it was just a small town of Ximu.

So he built a majestic gray stone castle with great efforts and no expense. Now it seems that no amount of "Mrs. Gisei Siying" can fill it.

As the old saying goes: “When you add people, you don’t need to add dishes; you 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 idly by and allow the caravan to pass through the Crisp Shan Pass and take our White River Silver Road, it will cause the continued deterioration of Xueman's financial revenue. Refer to "

"Lords' Convention", being unable to solve the problems for my lord is obviously my dereliction of duty 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 housekeeper handed the lord a Smuggler's Ledger.

The first line of the ledger is Skuma. The recipient is Delvin Mallory, a good old man from 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."

Night Flower Jasmine Weeks is one of the 81 recipients, so she will naturally not lie. The Lord is completely trustworthy. As the housekeeper said, a dozen bottles of Skouma is enough for an addict for half a month.

Therefore, the good old man Delvin Mallory definitely did not smuggle Skuma for profit. Referring to the hallucinogenic effect of Skuma, it is indeed a must-have escape potion for thieves who climb over walls and sneak through doors and pick locks.

In the second column of magic items, the lord saw an item that clearly came 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 throughout 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 in it. Necromancers across Tamriel are searching for this staff. It grants the holder powerful defense against spells and lost ancient spells, as well as wise enlightenment and valuable philosophy of life.

For any necromancer, it is undoubtedly a treasure, even comparable to a magical 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 had answers to the lord's questions. Clapping her hands gently, the clockwork maid placed an ancient book that had just been translated on the lord's desk.

"To Raise the Living": "

"Why do you want to live in a tomb?" The child gently pulled the (female) orc's cloak, wanting to ask the answer.

'Just as the Emperor has his Blade Guard by his side, we must have our dead by our side.'

'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 mage Hase Kiri who was unbeatable.'

'If he was invincible, what killed him?'

The (female) orc glanced at the skull on the staff, as if waiting for Hase Kiri's answer. However, the skull on the staff still maintained a playful expression, as if it was smiling or mocking. She had to Answered for him.

Ufkul Gilgar has been thinking about this question for the past ten years, and finally gave herself 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. It was fate that the staff fell into her hands. But even if fate was with her, she knew her fate well, and there was no comfort in having the staff.

She replied: 'Only one thing can kill a wizard as powerful as Hase Kiri.'

'Is it a Cliff Racer (a large flying animal found throughout Morrowind)? A magic sword? Or an undead creature?'

'time.'

She spoke this answer based on her own experience. As time passed, the days became increasingly empty, but everything seemed fleeting. As time passed, "complacement turned into boredom, and love faded into loneliness."

As a necromancer, she has the tools to resist death, but she has no control over life.

Maybe mortals have divined an answer (to extend life). For them, the answer is not magic, but children, allowing them to delay the ruthless pace of time. Now that she has become a mother, although it is only temporary, she will no longer be alone Swallow. Just as her father passed the staff to her, when the time comes, she will also pass the staff to her son. Perhaps it is for this reason that Hase Kiri attaches his soul to the staff. Only the soul of the staff can always be with the holder of the staff.

Ufkul placed the staff in the child's hands and watched him swing it between the graves, as if he were using the staff as a blunt instrument. Maybe the child would not be subject to the same curse, and would not be like his ancestors and elders. Gu Tong was also defeated by boredom. There are many great mages living in Morrowind, and there will always be those who can pass the challenge.
