Chapter 458: Greybeard's Call (Part 2)

"Oh hey!!!"

Just when Li Chuan had just healed the injured guards of Snowman City and brought the bones of Mirmenir into the Moon Reading World, he planned to follow Iriles back to Snowman City to see what Balgruf would give him.

Suddenly there was a roar of thunder that resounded through the sky and the earth. The roar was so loud that all the clouds in the sky were pushed away, showing a cloudless scene.

"Who has such a loud voice?"

Li Chuan followed the direction of the sound and looked towards Hogarth's Roaring Peak, known as the "throat of the world" in the distance.

Even he was shocked by the huge sound.

Because even if he was using the Amplifying Charm, it would be impossible to make such a loud sound.

"what happened?"

Iriles and the others were also taken aback by the sudden loud sound, but they didn't pay too much attention after realizing that nothing happened.

It's just that Li Chuan was thoughtful.

Others might not be able to detect it, but he was able to lock the direction of the sound coming from the Gaohou Peak.

According to some information he learned from the residents of Snowman City, there is a monastery on Gaohou Peak, the world's tallest mountain with a height of 10,000 meters, and a group of people named Gray Beard live in the yard.

And the gray beard is an existence that is respected by the entire sky, even the elves.

It is said that they have the mighty power to destroy the world, but they never take part in worldly disputes, nor leave Gaohou Peak.

So that loud voice just now is very likely to be the voice of the legendary gray beard.

Similarly, he didn't care too much about it in the past. His current plan is two, killing dragons to absorb dragon souls to strengthen the primordial spirit, and learning meditation and magic to improve magic power.

So he returned to Snowrun City with Irileis and others, and once again had an audience with Lord Balgruuf in the hall of Dragon's Reach Castle.

After Balgruf learned what had happened from Yiriles, he first thanked Li Chuan solemnly, and then asked with a serious expression:

"Mr. Chuan, are you really a dragonborn?"

"Yes."

Li Chuan nodded.

After getting the confirmed answer, he exchanged glances with his younger brother Holongner who was standing aside, and then looked at Li Chuan again enviously:

"It seems that the person Graybeard summoned just now is you. The last time Graybeard summoned like this was Tiber Septim."

Next, Balgruuf told Li Chuan about the gray beard.

Greybeard has always been a legendary existence in Skyrim, and it is very mysterious. Most people in Skyrim don't know much about Greybeard.

And the reason why Balgruuf knew Greybeard so well.

That's because when he was young, he climbed Gaohou Peak to find Gray Beard to learn from his teacher.

With him at the time was Ulfric, now the leader of the Stormcloaks.

And what they want to learn is the way of roaring that has been lost in Skyrim for a long time, and the ancient Nords mastered it, that is, the dragon's roar.

The reason why the gray beards have the power to destroy the earth in the legend is because they have always inherited the way of the roar, and they have been studying and researching the dragon roar in the monastery.

The former Dragonborn Tiber Septim was summoned by Greybeard and learned many powerful dragon roars, and finally unified the entire continent of Tamriel and became the first true Nord emperor.

Why did Somo ask the current empire not to worship Talos in the "Platinum Agreement".

It is because Tiber Septim unified the entire continent before he became a god, and of course he also wiped out the ancestor Shenzhou, which is a humiliating hatred for destroying the country.

In addition to historical reasons, Li Chuan felt that it was also for the purpose of splitting the empire, because Talos is the belief of the Nords, and the abolition of Talos by the empire would cause dissatisfaction and rebellion among the Nords.

And indeed their purpose was achieved.

"I suggest you set off for the High Roaring Peak Monastery as soon as possible. No one can refuse the call of Greybeard, which is also a great honor.

I also have some small thanks to you for helping our Snowman City through the crisis this time. "

Having said that, Balgruf paused for a moment, then waved towards the bottom.

A heroic female Nord warrior in heavy armor immediately came to Li Chuan's side and knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Chuan, as the lord, I formally confer you the title of Xueman City Martial Guard, which is the highest honor I can bestow on you.

At the same time, I appoint female warrior Lydia as your personal bodyguard, give you the sword of Whiterun as your status symbol, and give you the right to buy a house in the territory of Whiterun! "

After coming out of Longlin Fort, standing on the square in the middle of the wind area, Li Chuan looked at Lydia, the bodyguard bestowed upon him by Balgruf, and asked involuntarily:

"Ledia, do you know what Wuwei's position is?"

"My lord, Wuwei is a title that can only be obtained by those who have made great contributions to the territory. It is a nobleman."

Facing Li Chuan's inquiry, Lydia replied with a very respectful tone.

In her heart, it is a great honor for a Nord to be the bodyguard of the dragonborn who is said to have slaughtered the dragon.

To sum up Lydia's answer, Wuwei is an honorary title with no real rights, but he is a nobleman with a title and respected by everyone.

In a world similar to the Middle Ages, it is quite difficult for commoners to cross classes and become nobles.

The adventurer Li Chuan played before was a commoner.

But now that he has become a military guard, he has crossed classes and become a nobleman recognized by all cities in the world, which is indeed a very valuable reward for ordinary people.

What's more, an elite soldier was specially selected as Wuwei's personal bodyguard, although Li Chuan didn't actually need it.

"Well, let's go buy a house first."

After learning about Wu Wei's specific situation, Li Chuan took Lydia to find Proventus, the chief executive, planning to buy a permanent residence in Xueman City.

Except for the locals in Xueman City, no matter how rich the migrants are, they have no right to buy a house in Xueman.

Not only Snowrun City, but also other cities in Skyrim.

This is to prevent the overpopulation of foreigners from causing the local population to have no living space.

Outsiders can do business, accept missions, and stay in hotels, but they cannot buy houses unless authorized by the lord.

Li Chuan now has the right to buy a house in Xueman City.

Originally, he didn't plan to buy a house, because if there was no dragon attack, he would have planned to go to Winterhold to learn magic.

But now that he is about to break through the Yuanshen Realm after absorbing the Dragon Soul, he just needs a fixed place to retreat for a period of time.

As for going to Winterhold to learn magic and going to Gaohou Peak to meet Graybeard and learn the way of roaring, these must be placed after breaking through the Primordial Spirit Realm.

And the female guard Lydia who followed him also needed a place to live.
