The Collection of The End

Chapter 177 Cloak and Nightingale

My name is Akatosh,

I am digging the corner of the gods and demons.

——4E, 175, Moon of Rainy Hands, 12th, 16:42——

After nearly five years of war, the Septim Empire and Thalmer finally shook hands and made peace with each other, and signed a truce agreement called the "Platinum Agreement". It was Tiber Septim, the first emperor of the empire, worshiped as the "Ninth Holy Spirit".

Although the reason for this clause was that Thaumer wanted to deny the existence of the act of "transforming from a human to a god", but if you think about it carefully, it is completely untenable. Another holy spirit "Arkay" was also created by a human. He was promoted to a god, why not resist it by the way? According to my previous experience in Summerset Island, the real idea of ​​​​the elves is actually dissatisfied with the fact that "the guy who drove them away from the center of the continent can become the Holy Spirit".

The reason why the Empire agreed so readily was that the story of Tiber Septim's ascension to the gods was originally made by them. I am afraid that those who said so did not believe it themselves. Unlike other holy spirits, Tiber Septim After being worshiped as the "Ninth Holy Spirit", there is no miracle or oracle at all. It is just an illusion that the Nords feel stronger after shouting "For Talos" in battle.

In this regard, as Akatosh, I have a good say. The wheel of the world is still the eight holy spirits and sixteen demon gods biting and restraining each other. The location is also occupied by "concepts" such as reincarnation, funerals, and cemeteries.

Those who worshiped Talos only hoped that he could become the holy spirit with his own merits, and did not consider what priesthood he should take on at all. Currently, he can only occupy the secondary priesthoods such as "battle" and "victory" with a little embarrassment. God Stendarr's jurisdiction, but the two of them have a good personal relationship, so they gave up part of it.

The imperial agreement was signed happily, but the Nords in Skyrim Province could not accept it, because Tiber Septim originally walked out of Skyrim, and he also had the title of "Dragon of the North". In Skyrim Province, " "Talos" has more worshipers than all other holy spirits combined. It can be said that it was the signing of the "Platinum Agreement" that gave Ulfric Stormcloak the opportunity to organize his rebel army, but currently " "Stormcloak" is just an ordinary weapon for maintaining law and order in Skyrim Province.

‘I have to say, Lao Wu was quite handsome when he was young. ’ I mixed in with the Snowhoof family, watching from a distance Ulfric Stormcloak was making a battle plan for the city of Markarth.

Although his hair is gray, his eyes are as blue as the sea, his face is sharp and angular, and he is wearing dark blue light armor with a cloak, making him look heroic, and the big man beside him is his trusted deputy Galmar Shi Discussing the tactics with the chief of Windhelm City, the skinny Joe Raft, and the captain of the guard Rui Ji who was ordered to come from Solitude to help.

【What are you doing here? To stop his massacre of the Forsworn? 】

‘It’s not necessary to stop them, just let them go secretly. After all, they fought to the end because Markas City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there were no secret escape routes. '

The Forsworn is a strange race. They are related to elves, humans, and orcs. When the empire dispatched Nord fighters to fight the elves, they took the opportunity to occupy the city of Markarth. With the signing of the Platinum Agreement, With the return of Nord troops, all parties were ready to regain the city as a political capital, but they were preempted by the Stormcloaks due to mutual involvement.

[Washing the storm cloak? 】

‘Well, that’s what it means, but the conflict between the empire and Stormcloak is more than that. Even if this matter is cleared up, they will still fight. '

Ulfric Stormcloak was criticized,

Two things happened at this time. One was that the Forsworn in Macarth City refused to surrender. After Occupying Macarth City, Lao Wu almost killed them all, which eventually caused everywhere outside Macarth City. The Forsworn who attacked the Nords like robbers for revenge, and the second is the follow-up of this incident. Due to the incident, Thalmer learned of the existence of Stormcloak, a force that still believed in Talos, and forced the empire to arrest him. Ulfric, during his imprisonment, he missed the last time to see his father who died of illness, the former Lord of the Windhelm, and thus developed a deep hatred for the Empire, and finally accepted the proposal of Thalmor Ambassador Alanwen to become a spy against the Empire recommendations and has been active in this capacity for several years.

Although the jury is still out on whether he was a real Thalmor spy or just escaped, this dark history has still led many dragonborn to join the Imperial camp without hesitation.

"The Forsworn escaped!" "They are afraid of us!" "Ohh!"

Before the commanders made specific battle arrangements, some sharp-eyed people in the coalition forces preparing to attack Markas City had already seen a large number of Forsworn wearing strange costumes and antlers fleeing from the side door in large numbers, although Nord Man loves to fight, but winning without bloodshed is also cause for celebration.

"Strange, is there a side door in Markarth City?" Ulfric gave up and continued to formulate the battle plan, and pressed his hand on the map, looking at the backs of those fleeing with some doubts.

"Ha! Those barbarians finally know how to be afraid." Galmar Stonefist laughed.

"Then let's go into the city and occupy it immediately. Although it's not enough to capture the city without a battle, there is no destruction of the city to add some bargaining chips to it." Qiao Leifu said.

"Then, keep searching and enter Macarth City." Ulfric pointed.

"Wait," Rikki, who was wearing imperial armor and looked very Nord-style, grabbed him: "They can go, but you must leave immediately."

"Thalmor?" Ulfric asked, frowning at Rikki.

"Yes, they found out that you 'Stormcloaks' still believe in Talos. Although they have nothing to do with your father, they are going to take this opportunity to arrest you and threaten him." Rikki whispered, even though the army that was entering the city cheered No need: "Don't worry about me, it's easy to pretend not to believe."

"Thank you." Ulfric no longer entered the city, but turned his head and walked in the opposite direction.

"It's almost enough," I retracted the Gate of Annihilation that let the Forsakers go, "They must not have imagined that when they passed through that thing that looked like a big hole in the wall, they had already visited Songgarde. '

[It is meaningless to save these Forsworns. In their view, they have been kicked out of their homes. In the future, there will not be many Forsworn robbers led by Rich. 】

'Yes, yes, it is meaningful to deal with the demon god, but the rest of those who are in their early years are all hidden. What can I do, I can only wait for the plot to officially start and they have to show up when they have to show up. ’ I avoided the large troops swarming into the city, found a hiding place and opened a new gate of annihilation to another event place.

——17:22——

My destination is the Snowman Chamber of Secrets, not Snowrun City. It is an ancient Nord tomb, with various organs and riddle doors similar to other Nord tombs, except that it is different from other ancient Nord tombs where the key to the organ can still be found. Unlike the tomb, the key to this ancient tomb has completely disappeared in the world, and the locks of its secret doors are completely inoperable. Although this kind of strange thing puzzled the tomb robbers who had returned home, it was just a distraction for me to investigate.

Unlike other ghouls where the corpses in the tomb gather scattered souls due to the age of time, the owner of this tomb made up his mind to be resurrected before he was alive, and for this reason, he arranged many things in the tomb, and successfully resurrected the dead. In the third year after that, it transforms into a powerful ghoul that retains the memory of his life.

If he followed his plan, it would be no problem to excavate other tombs along the way to recruit ghouls to form an army, and eventually dominate the sky. Ordinary human armies can't do anything to him. Even if the Holy Spirit wants to stop it, there will be demon gods who are afraid of chaos.

But the problem is that this guy's level was too low before he was alive, and he didn't know what kinds of demon gods there were. The radiance evaporated directly, and all the locks and keys of the gates evaporated, and no one can enter this tomb again—until now.

Wanting to break the prohibition set by a demon god, only another demon god can do it. At this time, I am walking in here behind three followers of Nocturnal in stealth. Their leader is holding a With the huge key inlaid with skulls, whenever you encounter a door that cannot be opened, just raise your hand and it will open in response.

"Are you sure you have received the oracle from the Lady of the Night?" the dark elf Kalia asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, if I take out the skeleton key without authorization, Ms. Ye will definitely give you an oracle to arrest me." Mercer Frey continued to open the way without looking back.

"But Ms. Ye is not answering any of our prayers." Gallus also hesitated.

Well, being a god has this advantage. You can know everyone's name at a glance, although even if I don't use this talent, I still know who they are—"Nightingale" who secretly leads the Thieves Guild.

Mercer Frey learned about the rumors of this tomb from some ancient books. Since the unlucky owner of the tomb is going to be resurrected, naturally there will be no cheap funerary objects. After punishing him, Meridia no longer pays attention to this place, so as long as the door can be opened, she can have all the wealth.

And Nocturnal has a "skeleton key" that can open any door lock. When Mercer tried to borrow it, he said, "If you want to use it, I will take back all your protection."

To put it simply, these three people and even the members of the Thieves Guild under them will all become "Lucky E". However, Moser, who is not aware of this, still decides to take this unknown risk.

I was originally staring at these disciples of Nocturnal, planning to ambush him when he intervened, but in the end, he completely returned to the realm of annihilation and ignored these nightingales—could it be that he discovered that I was staring at him?

【So, are you going to save Gallus or Mercer? 】

"Pfft!" Moser, who had just wandered away and arrived outside the treasure room, suddenly got into trouble, turned around and shot an arrow at Gallus who was caught off guard.

'First of all, Gallus must be saved. ’ I pulled out the poisoned arrow in my chest, and by the way, I gave Gallus a hold spell to the completely uninjured Gallus to make him look like he was poisoned and died.

'Then Mercer has to figure it out too. ’ I watched Moser try to hunt down Kalia, but the dark elf escaped swiftly, ‘When I was playing the game, I deliberately didn’t do the tasks here, so I can bring Moser to fight all over the sky. '

[Are you digging the corner of the Demon God? 】

‘Hey, there will be a lot of digging in the future, let’s see if they dare to come out and face it. ’ Opening the Gate of Oblivion, I casually threw Gallus into Songarde.
