Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun was a humble Jarl. He did not doubt their intentions but directly asked,
"Two brave warriors, what can I do for you?"
"What important news do you have? Please speak."
Facing everyone's gaze, Guilliman did not answer but looked at Freya.
She was the protagonist of this world, the Dragonborn maiden. At appropriate times, it was not bad to simply be an observer.
Freya glanced at him sideways. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she stepped forward and said,
"My Jarl, we came from Helgen and passed through Riverwood."
"Helgen has been destroyed by a giant evil dragon."
"When we passed through Riverwood, the villagers there were very worried that the dragon would attack, so they hoped you could send reinforcements to Riverwood."
Hearing this news, Jarl Balgruuf did not doubt it but looked at his court wizard, Farengar, and asked,
"Are you sure the dragon has awakened, Farengar?"
The middle-aged court wizard, cloaked, immediately stood up, nodded, and said to everyone in the hall,
"Yes, I observed it with magic. Yesterday at noon, a huge black dragon flew towards Helgen."
"I just didn't expect the dragon to be flying towards Riverwood, and these two are survivors from Helgen."
After receiving the answer, the Jarl of Whiterun did not hesitate and immediately instructed his guard captain,
"Irileth, immediately dispatch your guards to reinforce Riverwood."
"And prepare the defenses for a dragon attack. We cannot let the dragon destroy the peaceful lives people have worked so hard to achieve."
Irileth was a very stern-looking Dark Elf warrior. Upon receiving the Jarl's order, she immediately left the hall and quickly organized a team of guards to go to Riverwood for support.
After the guard captain left.
Jarl Balgruuf enthusiastically invited the two to dinner and introduced them to some important figures in Whiterun, loudly praising their courage and honor.
Not only that, this generous and righteous Jarl directly had his steward present Freya with a bounty of one hundred gold coins as a reward for her message.
From this alone, it could be seen that Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun was indeed a good Jarl who loved his people, was generous, and upright.
After dinner, at Guilliman's reminder, the two quickly found Whiterun's court wizard, Farengar, and handed him the mysterious Dragonstone tablet and described what had happened in Bleak Falls Barrow for him to examine.
Upon seeing the tablet, Farengar immediately cried out in surprise and brought the two to meet Jarl Balgruuf again.
The advisor, who came from the College of Winterhold, was quite straightforward and directly said to Balgruuf,
"My Jarl, you should reward these two brave warriors again."
"I was planning to commission these two warriors tomorrow to find this tablet that records the location of a dragon burial site."
"I didn't expect them to deliver it themselves before I even notified them. This is truly fortunate."
After saying this, the court wizard also handed a book to Balgruuf and described in detail Freya's reaction after seeing the Dragon Wall.
Guilliman's eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see that the book was called "The Book of the Dragonborn," a popular book in Skyrim that recorded stories, legends, and prophecies of the Dragonborn.
It seemed the court wizard had already begun to suspect Freya's identity, but he was not yet certain.
Balgruuf was a clever Jarl. Upon receiving the court wizard's hint, he immediately understood something.
His gaze towards the two changed again, clearly showing much more importance.
After a few seconds of silence, Balgruuf solemnly said to Guilliman and Freya,
"Two brave warriors, thank you very much for the news you brought today."
"After hearing about your heroic deeds in the ancient tomb, I have a request that I hope you can grant."
