Chapter 1107 (??Ω???‖)? What Are You Guys Doing?

Hemu Town, also known as 'Ximu Town' or 'Hewang Village', is a small village where the river in the Ilintana Lake Basin passes. …

Maybe it's because of the narrow terrain, or maybe it's because there's a ready-made logging camp and sawmill, so there's just too much high-quality and cheap wood? Therefore, in addition to their own houses, the villagers living in Hemu Town even used wooden trestles to cross the river and built their houses on a small island in the center of the river, directly blocking the land road here. There are two traffic arteries and waterways.

However, blocking the waterway has little impact on the commercial routes in this place, because it is not realistic for boats to pass through this river. The severe cold in the province can only be barely exploited during a few months of the year.

Although the utilization rate of waterways in Hemu Town is not high, it does not affect its important role in land transportation!

Because its geographical location is still very superior, it is the only place where Snowman City in the north and Falkreath and Helgen in the south must pass. Next, it is a matter of course that there are blacksmith shops, homestays, lumber mills, taverns, grocery stores and other shops and bustling streets at the same time, to supply the normal consumption, repair and living needs of the business travelers who come and go.

However, what is surprising is that although Hemu Town belongs to the territory of Xueman City in principle, and it is also an important traffic route and military site connecting the north and the south, there is no city wall or even a wall here, which is even more serious. There are no soldiers sent by the lord to garrison, just a gatehouse built with huge pebbles and wood from the river...

Of course, Annie didn't care about these things, she didn't want to ask about these messy things, and she wouldn't care about them!

Because, at this moment, she is wandering around in this small town, waving the unusual but full-weight gold coins in her hand to buy some good things she likes to eat from the villagers who opened shops .

As for that Larov and the other party's little follower, the guy who seems to be called 'Zagenberg', went to the sawmill to find an aunt named 'Goldo', and disappeared long ago.

It is said that that aunt is the older sister of that Larov, who owns the sawmill here in Hemu Town, so it is only natural that the two guys who managed to escape from the burned Helgen now Do you really want to go to the other side?

As for what they were going to do next, or how long they wanted to stay here, Annie didn't ask at all. Anyway, she didn't intend to continue to follow them, because she now knew that walking along the north road, there was a big The city is called Snowrun, and if you go back to the south, it is Falkreath, even Hafingar, Arr Border, Whiteland, Winterhold, Eastland, Rift, Snowrun, Fork Reeseling, Richling and so on have learned a little bit from that Laluofu. She can roam and play in Skyrim Province by herself without worrying about anything else. matter.

But that's for the future, now Anne is hanging out here...

She kind of fell in love with this poetic, quaint little place where the river flows through the town!

Especially the river water is very clear and cold, even the fish and shrimp swimming in it can be clearly seen, just looking delicious... and the birds in the sky are even more amazing, they are fat and big Anyway, she really likes this small town full of exotic flavors.

(…)

(lll￢??￢)

"Hmm~!"

????(????｀??)??????

Obviously, Annie can also see that the logging camp in Hemu Town has indeed provided great help to the construction of this small town!

Isn't it?

After she wandered around,

It was soon discovered that in this peaceful and peaceful Hemu Town, which looked more like a village than a town, most of the houses were made of thick logs and thick planks. Outside, just lay a layer of waterproof thatch? And if it was changed to another place, it would definitely not be so extravagant!

For example, in Helgen, there are more houses with stone and wood structures made from local materials, because the stone there is more affordable than the wood here in Hemu Town! Of course, it doesn't make any sense to talk about Helgen now. That place has long been burned to ashes by the giant dragon Alduin, and now there is only a broken eaves and walls left.

"uh-huh?!"

(*⊙~⊙)choke

"..."

(????▽????)

"Hey! You guys, what are you trying to do with such a vicious look? Are you trying to scare children?!"

(???????)?

But it's a pity, the facts have proved that no matter how simple the folk customs are, there will always be some black sheep, isn't it? As Annie spends her gold coins and wanders around Riverwood, she's inevitably targeted by a gang of local bullies!

As we all know, because of the folks in the village, village tyrants, thugs or those unemployed vagrants generally do not easily bully the locals. After all, who lives in the same village is not related to each other?

Therefore, Larov, who came here occasionally and was known by many people, and Zagenburg who followed Larov, who seemed not to be trifled with, also did not intend to be deliberately made things difficult by the village tyrants... But , A certain little girl who came to Hemu Town on her heels and wandered around the village alone is in a different situation, especially when she is seen to have a lot of gold coins in her hand?

And this, maybe it was the reason why little Annie was surrounded by these bad guys?

"..."

"Little girl, did you come to Hemu Town alone? Where's your family?!"

After looking at each other with his companions, the leader with short shaved hair, who looked like a bald head, and with a two-handed sword behind his back, stepped forward, directly blocked Annie's way with his hand and He lowered his head and looked up and down at her.

"My family?"

(灬??ω??灬)

"Of course not here! They are in the land of voodoo, far away from here, anyway, you will never find that place!"

(*??︶??*)

Of course, Annie probably knew the purpose of these villains asking her such questions, so when she answered, she also mocked them unceremoniously.

"snort!"

"Who is that Larov who came today? We saw it. You came to our Hemu Town with him one after the other..."

The leader of the village tyrant asked with some trepidation.

Obviously, both Larov and the other party's sister, the carpenter, are a little bit off-putting, so if this little girl who looks rich has anything to do with those two guys, Maybe they can only let go of each other and those golden things in each other's pockets today.

"Raloff?"

Σ(⊙▽⊙`)?

"Oh! You mean that guy with a bow and arrow who sneaked into the village just now? I don't seem to know them well..."

(??????????)

Yes, Anne is very sure that she is not very familiar with that Larov or that guy named 'Zagenberg'. At most, it's just a matter of asking directions, meeting twice, and talking a few words. Anyway, she must have disdain to have anything to do with those two unlucky guys who were almost beheaded by those fierce soldiers of the empire.

'...'

'...'

Hearing this, the leader of the village tyrant and his accomplices looked at each other silently, and then they surrounded the little girl in silence, blocking the sight of the passing villagers in Hemu Town. Sight.

In fact, it is completely unnecessary for them to do this, because everyone here knows what kind of virtue they are idle bums all day long, and no one will be surprised by their behavior, and no one will do it for a strange little boy. Girls instead meddle in their own business and come into conflict with them.

"Eh? What do you want to do?!"

(????▽????)?

Although anyone could see that they must be uneasy and well-intentioned by these strange uncles, Little Annie still asked cautiously while pretending to be timid.

"Hello, little girl!"

"It's like this. Now Hemu Town is under our control. If you want to stay here or pass through Hemu Town, then you have to pay us a sum of money first!"

Although it is clear that they want to steal the other party's money, the leader of the village bully thinks that if the other party can honestly pay a protection fee, maybe they won't embarrass the other party too much? Anyway, those traders who passed by going back and forth between the north and the south, those guys who did not bring guards or the guards were not enough, all honestly paid them a sum of money.

And if it weren't for the fact that the imperial army came to Skyrim Province recently and began to fight Ulfric Stormcloak's people, resulting in fewer business trips, how could they be reduced to blackmailing children to continue to maintain their lives? look like?

For them who have long been accustomed to extortion, collecting tolls, extortion and robbery for nothing, the days when the traffic suddenly decreases and they suddenly have no money to drink, drink, and eat meat, it is really very, very Difficult!

"??"

∑(??△｀)? !

"You talk nonsense! This place in Hemu Town does not belong to your family, why should they pay you?"

(??-??*)

Obviously, Annie has always hated this kind of guy who just wanted to block the way and collect money from him without any legitimate reason or name, so she directly and flatly rejected him.

And she still remembers that a long time ago, a certain guy named Shank Knox also wanted to block the way to grab his own money, and then she beat him up. Honestly be her housekeeper in the land of flames, and manage the place she first conquered for her?

(???)

(￢???￢.)

(Tibbers said that it does not agree with the 'chaotic' memory of its little master! Because it still remembers very clearly, it is obviously a bad little master who ran to block the way of others, Wanting to take money from that fire demon, the other fire demon beat him up when he didn't like it, and took over the entire land of flames...

Well, it doesn't dare to recall anymore, because a certain nasty little hand has moved to its neck and clenched it tightly, if it continues to vomit, something will definitely happen Not a good thing. )

"Stop talking!"

"This place is under our control. If you want to stay here, you have to pay! We only need fifty Septims!"

'! ! '

'What are you doing? '

‘But Boss, are you sure that she has that much money in that little pocket? '

'this……'

At this time, just as the village tyrant finished speaking, another guy with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes came over and whispered these two sentences in the other's ear in a voice that Annie could barely hear.

"..."

"Okay! Little guy, I've changed my mind, and I won't make things difficult for you! Take out all the gold coins in your pocket, we will only take what we should take, and then you can move freely here in Hemu Town No hindrance! If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, just report our names!"

After hesitating for a while, I felt that what my subordinates said seemed reasonable, and felt that it was really impossible for the other party to hide so much money in the pocket outside the beautiful little skirt, and it was really impossible for a little girl to carry so much money. The gold coins were on him, so he quickly changed his decision: he only planned to take most of the gold coins from the other party.

"That's it..."

(?????????????)

"But they don't have the Septim you mentioned..."

('～`●)

"I have a lot of gold coins in my pocket, but I don't want to give them to you bad guys at all!"

(°-°〃)

Annie is doing this for the benefit of these people, because if she really takes out all the gold coins, she will definitely crush these bad guys who are strong in the outside world and have only that kind of ability!

'Stop talking nonsense! '

‘Get out without paying! Go back to your south! '

'All right, boss! Don't pretend to be a good person, we haven't opened for a few days, don't you want to go fish and drink soup again? '

'that is! '

'Go ahead and grab it, and just leave her two dollars as travel expenses to go home. Who told her to run around alone in this dangerous world? '

'well said! Hilde said just now that he saw a dragon. Could this world not be dangerous? '

'Hahaha……'

'He was not the first to say that he saw the dragon, everyone thought he was crazy, and Swann has had enough of him! '

'alright! '

'Hurry up, let her pay the money, and then let her go...'

'? ? '

'Little guy, are you sure, you want to resist? ! '

The village tyrants who just wanted to do it soon discovered that a certain little girl was looking at them with her beautiful big blue eyes while silently picking up a piece of wood from the pile of wood beside her. A wooden stick, it seems that they want to fight with so many adults?

"..."

(??????????)

Annie didn't speak. She felt that sometimes using magic directly is a bit too cruel, and the power is not easy to control. If one is not careful, it will be burned to ashes or something. So, it is better to use a stick?

Anyway, when she was fighting those elites in Zhiyuan last time, her fighting skills have become stronger and more proficient, so now that she has another chance, she can do it again. Practice some.

'...'

'quick! Catch her! Collect the money quickly and let her go! ! '

Seeing that there are more and more villagers watching around, some people even started pointing at themselves, thinking that it would not be a good idea to continue talking here, and I was afraid that some guys would jump out of the village to meddle in other people's business After exchanging glances, the tyrants rushed towards the little girl.

And then……

Snapped! !

'Wow~! '

Boom! !

'Ugh~! '

puff! !

'? ? '

Boom! !

'Well……'

_(:-」∠)_

_(????`”∠)_

'! ! '

'No! Don't, don't fight! Little aunt, please forgive me...'

○|￣|＿

Boom! !

'Well! '

'...'

Dealing with such a group of guys did not waste much time for Anne. When the villagers exclaimed and pointed in this direction, the group of local village bullies, including a certain one who knelt down and planned to beg for mercy The boss, who had already been beaten by Annie's dazzling sticks, had a black nose and a face, and passed out until he lay motionless on the ground.

"Really!"

s(????ˇ??ˇ????)ゞ

"You guys, you want to snatch such a cute girl, how shameless are you?!"

ε=(??ˇεˇ????))) Bah!

After cleaning up these ignorant village tyrants, Annie threw away the wooden stick that was stained with some blood, and then clapped her hands. Under the unbelievable eyes of the villagers, she spat. Then he turned his head and walked away with his head held high.

"!!"

!? (??''????)??

"You two guys, what are you doing sneaking here, trying to scare people?!"

s(??｀ヘ????;)ゞ

Ignoring those villagers watching and pointing, and also ignoring those full-fledged scoundrels who wanted to miss the coins in Her Lady Queen Anne's pocket, Anne turned around and strolled into the next door after cleaning up the other party's meal. A small alleyway, and was successfully surprised by two guys who didn't know when they were hiding here.

Of course, what Annie didn't know was that her performance just now also shocked the other party!

"By Talos..."

"Little guy, are you sure, are you really a mage?"

Before, he was talking to his sister at the sawmill about his escape from Helgen and the sudden appearance of the dragon and Ulfric. Then, when he heard Flo, the little boy in the village, Dana said that there was a strange little girl who was made things difficult by bullies. Although she didn't think that the other party would need her help as a mage, Larov rushed over immediately and was able to see the The fact that surprised him.

That little girl who kept saying that she was a mage, and was indeed a little girl who knew magic, used a wooden stick to beat down those villains who had been blackmailing the passing merchants in Hemu Town? If he hadn't seen this kind of thing with his own eyes, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it no matter what?

You must know that although those villains are not very strong, if it is him, La Luofu, surrounded by so many people, he will be beaten to the ground if he is not careful!

"yes!"

(*??︶??*)

"I'm a melee mage, I learned it from an old guy named Gandalf!"

o(??????????)o??

"You may not know, that Gandalf is fierce! He is obviously a white-robed wizard, but apart from learning a light technique to prevent being attacked by the enemy when walking at night, he spends all his time on training endurance and strength Got it! I also practiced all those skills such as one-handed sword, two-handed sword, whirlwind dance, beheading, and armor piercing to the highest level, which is amazing!"

??????(????????-)??????

(…)

(￢???￢.)

'...'

'...'

"Are you joking? How could there be such a mage in this world?!"

After looking at his new companion, Larov shook his head dumbfounded.

For Larov, who had seen the ferocity of rockets and fireballs bombarded by the battle mages of the Empire in the ambush at the Blackwater Fork and the battle against the dragon in Helgen, a He knows better than anyone what a powerful mage should look like.

"Maybe……"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Annie didn't pay much attention to the other party, but turned her head and left. Anyway, she was not familiar with the other party, so there was no need to talk so much nonsense to the other party or explain it too clearly.

She plans to rest here for one night, and then leave here early tomorrow morning. As for that Larov and that Zagenburg, she won't have too many intersections with them! Otherwise, she would not have refused their invitation before, and refused to be a guest in that sawmill full of wood smell.

...

At night, the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood Town...

Unlike the drunks, mercenaries, merchants, and idlers in the town who are bragging, farting, making loud noises, and even guys who are drunk and fighting, a certain little girl is enjoying herself Sitting on the high stool in front of the counter, chatting casually with Ogg, who was collecting money and selling things at the counter of the inn.

'Hahaha! '

‘Little guy, are you a mage? Do not make jokes! It’s better for a little guy like you to hurry home. Although I’ve heard about what you do during the day, but believe me, a guy with thin skin and tender flesh like you will be eaten sooner or later! '

'When you came in, did you see the Khajiit outside in the green cloak? '

‘His name is Baron Dahl, and he welcomes a traveler like you the most, you’d better stay away from him! '

"Uh-huh……"

(*????╰╯`??)

"Is that so?"

(??????????????)??~

Obviously, Annie didn't really believe what this Ogina said, because she knew that the tiger man belonged to a caravan, and he was doing business in a serious manner, so how could he eat people?

"But, he is really a mage, and he is still very powerful!"

|??????ω????)????

‘Just don’t blow yourself up for someone like you! '

'but……'

‘I’ve heard that there is an academy in Winterhold north of Windhelm City and east of Morningstar City that specializes in teaching spells, if those guys who learn evil spells haven’t blown themselves up? '

'Yes……'

‘Anyway, if you really want to go there and learn from the lord’s mage, you’d better be careful? '

For the sake of a certain cute little guy who gave him so many gold coins, that kind of wonderful golden Galleons, Ogga couldn't help but say a few more words, telling him what he had learned from those mercenaries, business travelers, and all kinds of people in the past. All the valuable information heard from various weirdos has been said.

'correct! '

‘Little guy, remember to lock the doors and windows when you go to sleep at night. The shop in Lukan, a trading company in Hemu Town, was stolen by thieves one night, and the guy who broke the door and entered has yet to be found! '

'Though, the thief took almost nothing? '

While talking, Oggana at the counter wiped the cup with the rag-like cloth, shaking his head and saying.

'Do you want another rabbit? '

‘This time, I guarantee that the baked one will be even more delicious than the last one, definitely the kind you have never eaten before! '

Then, after thinking for a while, he continued to point to the few hares hanging behind him that had been beaten back by the hunters and were already a little stiff and asked.

"It's better not to, it's not delicious at all..."

(lll￢▽￢)

Those dead rabbits had been hanging there for an unknown amount of time, they were not fresh at all, so Annie wouldn't be fooled into buying a second one! You know, the one she bought with money just now has been given to the former gladiator next to him with a red mark on his face and a beard. Now Gore, a gourmet traveler in Skyrim, has eaten it.

'my friend! '

‘Master Anne, really, if you have the chance, maybe you should try the three-tusk walrus! Trust me, no one will ever tire of a delicious bowl of three-tusk walrus stew! '

'It's a delicacy that people can't imagine and refuse...'

'Put that al dente meat in a pot, throw in a little minced garlic, add tomato and lavender, and fill up a pot of seawater, and it'll melt into a pot of pure goodness in no time! '

'I've eaten all the meat from Summerset to Solstam, but there's really nothing like a fresh bowl of three-tusk walrus soup...'

Gore, the skyrim gourmet traveler who was invited to a big meal by a little guy for nothing, is trying his best to recommend the best food he thinks to a little guy who likes delicious food like him.

"Is it really that delicious?!"

??(????????)??

Undoubtedly, Annie was a little moved by the other party's words. She was considering whether to give up the sightseeing route she had originally decided, and really go to the place where the other party said that she could eat the meat of "three-toothed walrus" for a while. visit?

‘Three-tusk walrus? '

'Great Talos...'

‘Little guy, I advise you not to listen to him! You'll never regret it once you try it! Because, it certainly doesn't taste any better than chewing a piece of sawdust from our riverwood town! '

'! ! '

'Augna, you don't understand! Your vision is only as big as Hemu Town, you will not understand how many delicious things there are in this world! '

'Maybe you're right, Gore...'

‘But you have to know that the people I can come into contact with here every day are no less than those you have seen and killed! '

'No……'

'You won't understand! '

'I understand very well! '

'you do not! '

'...'

"Hello!"

??????(＿＿*)????

"You guys better stop arguing! Uncle Ogna, the chicken that I asked you to roast just now should be almost ready? Hurry up and serve, I'm hungry now!!"

??????(*??)??????

'oh! '

'certainly! This time should be fine...'

After taking a look at Brown and Delphine, who had gone crazy after drinking a little wine and were still wrestling with each other over trivial matters, Auger sighed and shook his head. Turning around, from the window of the kitchen behind the counter, I helped a little guy bring a roasted old hen to the counter.

"!!"

(????ω????)

"I'm going to start!!"

ψ(｀????)ψ

In this way, little Anne listened to the argument between Ogner and Gore, listened to the same "la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ~" by the bard Swanna, and watched the drunkard Brown The boxing match with Delphine and the roar of the proprietress Delphine, just ate it on its own.

Until a group of angry villagers rushed into the Sleeping Giant Inn, saw something they shouldn't see at a glance, and then surrounded Annie.

"??"

∑(??△｀)? !

"What are you doing looking at others with that kind of eyes?!"

ヾ(??????｀??)ノ

Annie was puzzled, because she really didn't seem to provoke these people. Apart from wandering around for a day today, she had seen enough of the scenery of Hemu Town and studied the rich food sources in the sky, underground and water. Other than the small animals, such as the beautiful big orange birds, the mud crabs by the river, and the pheasants and wolves outside the village, etc., there is really nothing more to do...

(…)

(●￣(??)￣●)

(Maybe... However, Tibbers didn't want to remind some bad little master of his family about such insignificant issues.)

'...'

'You, what are you eating? ! '

A ferocious villager took a step forward, looked at the counter in front of a certain little girl, and looked at the things on the other's dinner plate, his face inevitably became a little surprised.

"Of course it's roast chicken!"

ψ(｀????)ψ

'! ! '

‘Roast, roast chicken? Where did the chicken come from? '

The vicious villagers hurriedly asked.

Because, he didn't remember that his family sold any chickens to the 'Sleeping Giant' inn today! In fact, they stopped selling chickens soon... And here in Hemu Town, in this village with a small population, not so much a town as a village, only his family has chickens!

So, here comes the question, what happened to the half-eaten roast chicken in front of a certain little girl? !

"Of course they were caught in the mountains!"

(???????????????)

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

(￣～￣) Chew!

'...'

‘Caught in the mountains? '

'You're lying, that's my chicken! My chicken is missing one today! ! '

Yes, in the past, when the sky was getting dark, their chickens would return to the chicken coop by themselves, but I don’t know why, but one of them was missing today, and then it died, let’s looking for They smell roast chicken here? So, they followed the smell and came in to see, and they really found it!

"??"

(*⊙~⊙)choke

"Your family? Do you have any evidence?!"

ψ(￣～￣) chew!

Blinking, Annie quickly stuffed the last piece of meat into her mouth, and chewed along with those tender bones.

She didn't believe that it was raised by the other party's family, because she indeed caught it in the woods outside. How could a pheasant that looks ordinary be so coincidentally raised by the other party? So, without saying anything, she was sure that these guys must have seen that she was rich, so they came to make trouble again?

Sure enough, the saying that there are troublemakers in the poor mountains and evil mountains is really true. Just like in the daytime, these guys from Hemu Town have found a new reason to find her, Lady Queen Anne Trouble, she will not do what they wish!

'you! '

'Look, I found this in the back kitchen! '

'This hair! '

'! ! '

'That's right! It's the one I keep at home! ! '

"ah?"

=????????(??????*)

'You thief! '

‘This chicken is the old hen that my family keeps to lay eggs, and it is going to hatch chicks! Now you eat it, the basket of eggs in my house will definitely not hatch! '

'If there is no egg, there will be no chicken, and if there is no chicken, there will be no egg...'

"All right……"

(lll￢▽￢)

Annie understood that these people were really troublemakers, and they really came here to find trouble! She swore that she was really caught in the wild, how could it be the other party's by such a coincidence? Anyway, she definitely won't admit it!

"..."

??(ψ｀▽′)o??

Therefore, a small flame quickly flashed in Anne's hand, and then the thieves who held a chicken feather in his hand instantly burst into flames. After the other party screamed and shook his hand, the most important evidence was already Burnt to coke...

But Annie controlled it very well, she just destroyed important evidence.

it's good now!

She ate up all the roast chicken, and the chicken feathers were burned off, leaving only bones all over the place. She wanted to see, why did these rascals claim that the chicken belonged to his family?

(…)

(●￣(??)￣●;)

(Tibbers was a little speechless. He didn't know that his bad little master did this for that. After all, it was just a chicken. Even if it was really raised by the other party, it would be enough to pay a gold coin. As for that? ?)

'...'

'you……'

'Catch her! Get her up! that thief! ! '

"!!"

!? (??''????)??

"You are the thieves, they were really caught on the mountain outside the village!!"

????(??????????????)????????

'Catch her! ! '

'! ! '

'There she is! '

'stop! '

'Catch her quickly! ! '
