Chapter 445 Let's Go, Snowman City! (Three More)
"Madam, you are welcome. I was also hired by Mr. Lukan."
Li Chuan poured himself a glass of malt wine and smiled.
The female mayor suddenly paid for him, which made him a little confused.
He didn't know the female mayor, and he only knew her name from the villagers when he visited the town during the day.
The key point is that the female mayor is married and has a child, so it shouldn't be because she has unreasonable thoughts about him that she pays him for the meal.
(When he left Holy Land Town, he squeezed a handsome face that fit the aesthetics of this world.)
But it didn't take long for him to think about it, and soon Gerdo revealed his purpose.
"I also hired a few adventurers before. Not only did I not get rid of those robbers, but I also lost my life. Mr. Chuan is very strong. I wonder if you are interested in taking another mission?"
It turns out that since Hanluo Mountain became a bandit stronghold, Hemu Town has been affected a lot. Whether it is hunting or logging, he is worried about being caught by those bandits.
She did hire a few adventurers to help clear it up, but they all ended in failure.
Today I heard from Lu Kan that an adventurer hired by him went to Hanluo Mountain single-handedly to deal with the robbers there, and retrieved the lost golden dragon claw in the shop.
She was immediately delighted.
Not only because Hemu Town has regained its previous stability since then, but also because she happened to have a very difficult matter and wanted to ask a powerful adventurer for help.
This morning, her younger brother Ralof, who has been helping Ulfric in Stormcloak against the Empire, suddenly appeared at home.
It turned out that when Larov and Ulfric and others passed by the Blackwater Fork a few days ago, because someone in the team betrayed and tipped off the news, General Tullius of the Empire led a large army to ambush him.
They were later escorted to the town of Holy Land for execution.
But in the middle of the execution, a giant dragon suddenly fell from the sky, turning the entire Holy Land Town into a sea of flames, and giving them a chance to escape from Holy Land Town.
In order to prevent being captured by the imperial army, Larov first returned to his hometown of Hemu Town and found his sister Gordo.
On the one hand, it was to take a rest and return to Windhelm City with enough food, and on the other hand, it was also to tell my sister about the dragon and make them be careful to prevent being attacked by the dragon.
Gordo knew very well that with the guarding power of Hemu Town, it was absolutely impossible to resist the legendary dragon.
Therefore, it is necessary to immediately send a person who is strong enough to go to Xueman City to seek help from the city lord, the strong Balgruf, and ask the city lord to send troops to protect the safety of Hemu Town.
The villagers in the village obviously couldn't meet her requirements, and Li Chuan, who could single-handedly kill the bandits in Hanluo Mountain, was the best candidate.
"Sorry, I'm leaving for Snowman City early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your mission, ma'am."
Li Chuan refused without thinking.
He is not a real mercenary, he needs to do tasks to make money.
The previous trip to the Barren Waterfall Ancient Tomb in Hanluo Mountain was not because of Lu Kan's reward, but because he was interested in that magnificent ancient tomb, so he just accepted the task.
However, after hearing Li Chuan's answer, Gordo was not only not angry, but showed a look of surprise:
"That would be great, I just want to ask you to go to Xueman City, and help me send a message to the Lord City Lord, asking him to send troops to Hemu Town."
So next, Gordo informed Li Chuan of the dragon's attack on Hemu Town.
After listening, Li Chuan touched his chin, finally nodded, and accepted the task.
Since he was on the way and had the opportunity to meet the lord of Xueman City, it would naturally not conflict with the previous plan.
"Balgruuf is a very wise city lord, and he will pay you enough when the time comes."
After confirming that Li Chuan had accepted the task, Gordo left satisfied.
As soon as Geer Duo left, Kemira from the Hemu Town Trading Co., Ltd. over there enthusiastically approached a wood elf with a bow and arrow in the shop and the bard who was talking on the stage. Glared.
Obviously those two guys have a crush on the young and beautiful Camilla.
Through chatting with Kemira, Li Chuan gained a deeper understanding of the situation in Tianji Province.
Don't look at Kemira who has been living in this small town and never left, but because of her dream of becoming an adventurer, she often has contact with adventurers and mercenaries who pass by Hemu Town to buy things in the store.
In addition, my brother is a trading firm, and the news is relatively well-informed.
"Brother Chuan, do you have someone you like?"
At the end of the chat, when everyone was about to leave and go home to sleep, Kemira asked with a reddish face.
For Li Chuan, who is mature, stable and powerful, of course she has some good feelings in her heart, at least more than she has good feelings for the two suitors in the small town who like to be jealous.
"Yes, my wife, Wanda Maximoff."
Li Chuan, who saw through Kamila's thoughts at a glance, directly cut her off.
For the unlikely opposite sex, the best way is to cut off directly when you first have a good impression, otherwise it will be harmful to others and yourself when the other party gets deeper and deeper.
"It turns out that Brother Chuan...you are already married."
Hearing Li Chuan's words, Kemira's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment.
But she soon recovered. She had a good impression of Li Chuan, but after all, she had just met, and she hadn't reached the point where she would be sad. At most, she felt a little regretful.
"Okay, Kemira, I had a great time chatting with you, thank you for telling me so much common sense for an adventurer who just came to the sky, this is a weapon I got in the barren waterfall ancient tomb, it is of little use to me , I will give it to you.
It should help you in the future if you really want to venture out. "
When Camilla was about to leave, Li Chuan handed her something in a cloth bag, and then returned to his room.
When Camilla opened the cloth bag at home, her eyes widened:
"It turned out to be an enchanted ancient Nord handaxe!"
That's right, what Li Chuan gave Kemira was the ax that he got after killing the ghoul lord, which could cause freezing damage.
The ax is indeed a very powerful magic weapon for ordinary adventurers in this world, but it is basically useless for him, and the freezing damage is not as strong as his fist.
Simply giving it to Kemira who taught him a lot of common sense is considered a reward.
The next day was slightly bright, and he ate a delicious exotic breakfast at the Sleeping Inn, then left Hemu Town and embarked on the road to Snowman City.
Snowrun City is located in the center of Skyrim Province and the middle of the entire territory, while Riverwood Town is in the most remote border area.
Therefore, it would take about three days for a normal person to walk from Hemu Town to Xueman City, and this was assuming no accidents occurred.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Chuan to waste such a long time, so when there was no one around, he deliberately accelerated his movement speed to ensure that he could reach Xueman City in half a day.
