All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 12 One-third of the Midas Touch

"The story begins in the outskirts of Snowman City..." Linde's unhurried narration brought the children in the carriage into another fantasy world. Let their thoughts wander and picture the back of the adventurer standing under the sky.

……

Skyrim Province is very warm in mid-month, especially in the central and southern parts of the country where the four seasons are distinct. It is a bit hot at this time. Winterfort is located close to the Arctic Circle, so it is best to go there in the summer, because it will start snowing there again a few months later.

Linde was very fascinated by the natural scenery of Skyrim Province. He was always looking around. The guard brother thought he was worried about wild beasts emerging from the woods on the roadside or shooting hidden arrows, so he comforted him, "Linde, young man, don't worry, We will protect you, and anyone who wants to harm you must step over my body first, I promise."

"Kliman, I'm just looking at the scenery."

From the morning in Ximu Town to the evening in Xueman City, there were wolves that cast cold glances at the group of people from the heights of the riverside terraces. Fandal reacted the fastest and immediately shot a homemade weapon. The sound of arrows scared the wolves away.

After walking out of the mountains and valleys, we came to the central plain area of ​​Baiman Territory. There was only one low hill on this endless wilderness, which was the location of Xueman City. Surrounded by vast windmill pastures, there are water-powered mills and breweries on the banks of the White River. With such prosperous agriculture, Whiterun is undoubtedly the richest territory in Skyrim.

The four of them climbed to a high place and gazed at the vast world at dusk. Kliman waved proudly and introduced each family's farm as well as various famous attractions in Snowman City like a treasure trove. He heard Lind mutter: "It's more beautiful here than I imagined."

Farndal looked far into the distance, and he suddenly pointed to the northwest, "Hey, look there! I'm not dazzled. Is that a bear or a person?"

Everyone looked in the direction Farndal was pointing, and saw a group of dark creatures beside the wheat field of Pelagius Farm at dusk, slowly climbing over the railing. Several farmers weeding the fields started shouting. From their distance, the black bear looked like a quail egg, and the fleeing men looked like beans.

The guard boy jumped down from the high ground without saying a word, spread his legs and ran towards the farm.

"Wait for us!"

The dazzling golden sunset spreads out, and the beasts pant and roar in the still green spring wheat fields.

When Linde and others arrived, the Nord farmers had already surrounded it and kept shouting to drive them away.

The majestic beast was full of stench, and its hair was like burning black fire.

"Lind! Stand behind me!" Kliman snapped.

"That's not necessary. It's up to me." Linde stuck his head out from Kliman's shoulder and pointed at the black bear, "The ground under your feet is muddy, and the road is full of obstacles!"

"Why are you scolding it? It doesn't understand." Swann was a little anxious.

However, the black bear seemed to be a little anxious after being scolded, roared twice, and rushed towards Linde.As soon as it lifted its legs, the farmland under its feet turned into a swamp, and its four legs continued to sink, while the fallen straws turned into ropes, swimming like a group of snakes, binding it tightly.

The beast was subdued, and Kliman borrowed the peasant's warhammer and struck it hard on the back of the head, killing it violently.

"It seems that you don't need our protection." The guard brother had a complicated expression.

"Kliman, there's no need for this. You are good traveling companions."

"Ah, don't worry, I'm still your sword and shield, spells are not as reliable as steel, I will keep an eye on your surroundings for you when you cast spells."

"Then don't be so impulsive next time." Linde patted the guard on the shoulder, "We are a cooperative team, don't fight independently."

That night, everyone had dinner at the farm owner's house, and early the next morning, they took a carriage to Windhelm City.

……

"The carriage traveled for a day, and that night we camped in a sheltered col at the northern foot of the Hrothgar Mountains. In the dead of night, the stars swayed in the aurora on the summer night, like fireflies immersed in the thick purple fog, and the wind blew around Extremely gentle, the huge double moons erupted with milk-like light, and the low cry of the leader of the deer herd came from the silver-shrouded wilderness.

"The passengers have already rested, and the convoy's mercenaries are patrolling outside. Suddenly, Farndall got out of the tent, and he said he heard footsteps, a lot. The night in Skyrim Province is too scary, here is everything you can think of Danger, wolves, bears, saber-toothed tigers, swarms of bandits, werewolves and vampires who hunt, necromancers looking for fresh corpses, assassins dealing in dirty business, poisonous worms peddling skooma, anything can take you life."

The young man's words were calm, and his expression seemed to be under the starry sky in a foreign land.

Harry and Ron both looked nervous. At this moment, someone knocked on the compartment door.

A boy with a round face was filled with tears. He sobbed and asked, "I'm sorry, I just want to ask, have you seen my toad?"

Harry and Ron shook their heads quickly. They now hope that this uninvited guest will leave quickly. The story of the young man is about to usher in a turning point. This is a critical moment.

The young man let the boy in, "Let me try, what's your name?"

"Neville, Neville Longbottom, sir, my name."

"Okay, Neville's toad is coming." The young man waved his hand, and suddenly there was a jingle in the corridor. A toad shot like a pinball and landed in the young man's hand. He handed it to Neville, "Okay. Yes, you have your toad. Do you want to go back now or stay here? I am telling a story."

……

Those footsteps wandering around at night belong to a rather large group of thieves. There are forty or fifty people in them, and all of them are well-equipped.

The leader of the convoy, a young Nord named Bucholem, stood bravely in front of the bandits, "Friends, why are you here? For the road under your feet, or for the money in our hands?"

The leader of the bandits is a strong orc. The tradition of their race has caused most men to engage in illegal work, because only the chief has the right to mate in a tribe, and other male orcs will be driven out if they fail to successfully challenge the chief when they reach adulthood. go out.

Being helpless and having good strength, it is naturally easy to get involved in the ancient business without capital.

The orc leader said: "Hand over some of the money and you can leave."

"How much do you want?"

"One-third of everyone's wealth."

There were people in the convoy, including three mercenaries. They had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky when they encountered such gangsters running around. So they took out one-third of their property. When it was Linde's turn, the wizard asked the robbers Chief, "You want a third of my wealth, right?"

"Yes, everyone has to pay."

"In other words, if I have three gold coins, I will give you one."

"That's right. Even if you only have one coin, you have to break it into three."

"Then if I have gold coins, you have to take . If I have three gold mountains, you have to take one."

"Ah, you're wasting your time, but yes, that's what it is."

"Okay, come and get it now. I'm going to hand over one-third of my property." Linde pointed at the yak-heavy stone on the roadside. In the light of the twin moons and stars, it glowed with a charming and beautiful golden color.

"You are a wizard! You can make gold!"

"One-third of my fortune is not over yet." Lind pointed to a flowering berry bush, which also turned golden.

The robbers rushed towards the gold like crazy.

Lind kept pointing to the things around him, and those he pointed to turned into gold. Bushes, pine trees, haystacks, tent cloths, and every robber pounced on the gold. The leader of the bandits did not move. He stared directly at Linde's finger, "I also want one-third of your finger."

Before the words fell, Linde waved his hand, and all the gold turned into ropes, tying up the robbers who were caught off guard. Climan let out a thunderous battle cry, and rushed with his shield, knocking the orc leader to the ground. Swann and Farndahl flew forward.

Faendal held down the bandit's hands, Kliman held down his legs, Swann drew out his dagger and stabbed it into the gap in the armor, piercing the throat. The orc rolled like a bull, pushed the three of them away, and covered his throat into the darkness. Li staggered for two steps and then fell down on the bank of the sparkling white river.
