The Collection of The End

——4E, 201, Last Seed Moon, 17th, 23:00——

"Doctor, when will my husband stand up?"

The Blue Palace is located in the deepest part of Solitude. It is named after its sky-blue roof and walls. It is the easiest place to defend and difficult to attack in Solitude after General Tullius's barracks. Yige handles government affairs and places of residence.

The blond-haired Alicifer, Toig's wife, temporarily acted as his lord after her husband fell, but she was a little powerless in the face of those intricate documents, reports, and orders. While understanding her husband's work, I wish him a quick recovery more than anyone else.

Although she was born into a noble family, she was not raised as a lord, and the title of "blonde" that praised her beauty and long hair that would shine like gold in the sun did not help the current situation.

"Hurry up, don't worry," Angela Moreland said slowly: "Don't worry, my dear, little Toig just needs the last dose of medicine."

"Angela Fragrance" is a potion shop with a long history. It is said that it was opened by another alchemist named Angela a long time ago, but because Solitude also has the largest Holy Spirit Temple in Skyrim province, the nobles get sick or injured In the end, I was more inclined to go to the priests in the temple for treatment instead of drinking various potions with strange ingredients and uncertain tastes, so this potion shop became more and more in line with its name, almost becoming a spice shop.

Toig's problem was the dragon's roar that Ulfric Stormcloak uttered during his assassination. The princess of the empire could still move freely after bearing the dragon's roar head-on. Bed, even if Lorende, the high priest of the temple, was invited to use healing spells in person, there was no sign of recovery, and in the end he could only try traditional potions.

Toxic alchemy materials such as lavender, mountain flowers, butterfly wings, inverted moss, nightshades, and death knells were made into various potions by the old lady of the shopkeeper for him to try. Alicifer even suspected that she was taking the supreme Wang tried the medicine, but in the end Toig was half recovered because of it—the upper body could move and handle official duties.

"I think, the ingredients of the last medicine should be—" Angela Moreland shook her head: "A silver ingot, a death knell, a ruby ​​and a handful of vampire ashes, yes, that's it. "

"Here, other materials are easy to talk about, but the ashes of vampires..." Since she was not in the council hall, Alicifer couldn't consult with the chief manager, Foco Huohu, or the court mage Hibilly Sdent, so she had to turn her attention to her own. husband.

Toig's appearance looks very young, although growing a beard to maintain his majesty does not change much, and his wavy brown curly hair makes him more attractive, even if he is half-sitting on the bed, his demeanor will not be damaged.

"Vampires," said the High King, "most of them should have been wiped out in that attack on the Hall of the Vigilantes. What remained were either mixed in the city or hidden in remote caves."

He pointed to some reports on the low table beside the bed: "Those witnesses who claimed to have seen vampires saw mostly wolves, bats or evil mages."

"If it doesn't work, we can only issue a reward order to clean up those suspicious caves." Ali Sifer picked up several reports to try to distinguish the authenticity.

Razor Palasos, the elite of the Septim Empire Royal Guard, tall, handsome, and skilled in combat, belongs to the "Sharp-Eyed Eagle" unit that the emperor went to Skyrim Province to clear up the unstable factors in advance, and was ordered to protect the princess His Highness, Emilia Septim, has just found the princess who disappeared from his eyes for the fourteenth time on the roof of the Blue Palace.

"...Lager, what is the ashes of a vampire?" The petite purple-haired girl was sitting on the edge of the roof and asked her bodyguard.

"That vicious creature burns when it dies," Raj replied. "The burning embers are vampire ashes, and they must be collected before they fall to the ground, or they will be indistinguishable from dirt."

"...Function?" The princess continued to ask.

Her Royal Highness would always pause for a moment before speaking, as if she was thinking about her words, but sometimes even short words would do the same. Although Razhe had doubts about this, she didn't intend to get to the bottom of the royal family's affairs.

"It has the functions of invisibility, restoring mana, and increasing life, so it sometimes appears in the formula of invisibility and mana potions," Lazhe replied: "If you eat it directly without caring about the taste and after effects, you can become invisible for a few seconds."

"...where can I buy it?" The princess tilted her head, stood up and seemed ready to leave.

And even with Razhe's insensitive hearing, he could still hear the sound of the blond-haired Lord Alice Fordai sending old lady Angela out of the house.

This style of directly paying for what he wants is the behavior that best fits the concept of "princess" in his impression. Since His Majesty the Emperor handed over the entire Eastern Empire Company to her, it is inevitable that it will become like this.

It is a huge fleet that has been controlled by the royal family since ancient times, and transports ebony mines, food, and other materials between Morrowind and the Empire. There are many ports and strongholds in almost all provinces. Carrying out jobs on a massive scale, but still very rich.

"You can't buy it," pulled the princess and walked on the roof: "As the lord said, they are almost extinct. Even if the vampires are clearly found in those eyewitness reports, it is only possible that they will not spontaneously combust and cannot harvest ashes." new, low-level vampire."

"...How to find it?" The princess stopped and let a group of guards under the eaves pass by before jumping across the gap between the two houses.

The guards of the Blue Palace are useless to her, and she can move without hindrance, just like being at her own home-but it really is that way when she thinks about it.

After the princess came to Solitude, Lord Toig gave her the largest house in the city, the Pridespear Villa, to live in. Although the princess didn't seem to like it very much and rarely stayed there, she took the initiative to replace it later. Toig's behavior of blocking the dragon's roar must have a reason for that house.

"At least there are no vampires near the Dragon Bridge, the base of the Sharp-Eyed Eagle," Razhe shook his head. "Perhaps the lord's court mage can use the prophecy spell to look for it."

"...that makes sense." Princess Emilia suddenly fell down from the roof, hooked the eaves with her backhand, opened the window two times and jumped into the house, and recognized that the house was the palace mage of Solitude, Hibli Stan After reaching Ms. Te's residence, Lager had no choice but to follow up with the same movement, and was about to announce loudly to the female mage that he had entered.

"Emilia, and Mr. Parasos." The window is not a bedroom but a living room. The court mage in a dark blue robe is sitting at the table and reading a book. He doesn't care about the two people who entered through the window. What's too big a reaction: "Come to me so late, what's the matter?"

"... we have come to find the vampire," said the princess.

Hum——

Rager instantly felt that at least six deadly spells and mechanisms were aimed at him, because none of them were aimed at Emilia, which prevented him from attacking immediately.

"... Ashes." The princess, who obviously forgot the words just now, completed the words.

All the deadly attacks directed at Lazhe disappeared in half in an instant.

"Oh? Why did you come to me? Your Royal Highness?" Sibilly put down the book and asked the girl with a smile.

"...Because the vampires are extinct, Toig needs ashes, please divination where they are." Lazhe saw that the princess was completely unaware of those attacks, if it was not slow enough, it was because there were no attacks aimed at her at all. .

Swish—all the preparatory attacks disappeared, and Lazhe heaved a sigh of relief. Although it might not be possible to lose in a real fight, this is still inside the Blue Palace, and it will definitely be troublesome to fight.

Speaking of which, this court mage who still looks like a young woman has served the lords of Solitude for three generations. She has been a court mage of Solitude since Toig's grandfather. Many people speculated that she had elven blood, but the truth is more serious Horror, she's a vampire.

After knowing the conclusion, many conditions can be reversed. For example, the chef said that he had never seen her eat. For example, the prisoners in Solitary City Prison always complained that they would be bitten by mice after falling asleep. Although the specific reason is unknown, But she seems to be planning to hide her identity and keep guarding Dugu City.

But what about those preparatory attacks? To expose his identity and plan to kill him? But is it okay for the princess to know?

... Well, judging from the princess's personality and skills, it seems that there is no such thing. With his status as an eagle elite, he will be slipped away by the princess under his nose. Her strength, at least in terms of stealth, is beyond doubt.

"In the western mountains of Solitude, there is a 'Moonpine Cave', and the thing you are looking for is inside," Lazhe muttered, Sibilly had already completed a crystal ball divination, and after telling Emilia the result He squinted his eyes and looked at Lazhe: "If you let Her Royal Highness hurt a hair—"

"Then you come with me?" Lazhe stared back unwillingly.

"If you admit that you are incompetent." The court mage covered his mouth with a book.

Although he was dissatisfied with the court mage, the result displayed by the crystal ball made him feel a little relieved. There is no "prophecy" spell in the magic of Nirn Road. The so-called divination is basically to seek enlightenment from the Holy Spirit or the Demon God. The Demon God will answer quickly, but it is impossible to know whether there are traps and deceptions. Although the Holy Spirit has a very small chance of answering, it can guarantee that there is absolutely no moisture.

The scene that appeared in the crystal ball just now seemed to be a dragon. If it was Akatosh, the time dragon god answered in person, then there would be no problem.

"...Thank you." Her Royal Highness replied, "I will clear it up."
