The Elder Scrolls: Celestial Dynasty

The owner of the largest jewelry store in Snow City is holding a magnifying glass, carefully examining the amulet in his hand.

Aya on the side saw that he had not spoken for a long time, and asked a little anxiously: "Do you see anything?"

The shopkeeper put down the magnifying glass, raised his head and said: "This kind of talisman is not circulated in the world, but is supervised by the workshop of the palace. It is impossible to make a large number of precious amulets like this gem-encrusted, so you go to the chief steward of the palace and ask him, and he should have a record.

Aya snorted, thanked the boss, took the talisman and left.

"Hey, girl, if you want to sell it, you must come to me, and I will give you the most reasonable price.

Aya looked back and smiled: "Don't worry, you helped me, I will remember to take care of your business."

She clutched the amulet in her hand and ran towards the palace in high spirits.

Although it was noon, and she had been running around all morning, she did not feel the slightest tiredness, and if she could ask the owner of the amulet, maybe that person would be the murderer, she could not hide the joy of victory in sight, and thought to herself.

The guard on duty in the palace gave her a blow to the head with an iron face: "You can't find anyone, this is the palace, how

can you say that you can enter?" Aya looked at the serious guard, and stomped her feet angrily: "If you delay the arrest of the murderer, you will be responsible!"

The guard was happy when he heard it: "Little girl, scare me, I can take responsibility for the safety of the palace, so, no... To give...... Enter!

" When the two were at a stalemate, Aya suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside the gate of the palace, it was the soothsayer she had seen at Mulan in the morning, she hurriedly shouted inside: "Soothsayer, soothsayer..."

The

divination mage smiled: "The chief butler is not in the palace, King Fu sent him out on errands, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until very late." What's the matter with you, do you want to wait for him to come back and I'll tell you about it?"

Aya was a little disappointed, hesitated for a moment, she pulled the soothsayer aside and took out the talisman to show him: "I want to ask the chief butler to identify whose talisman it is, this is what I found in the Frost Mansion, there are blood stains on it, it should be related to the case of the Butcher of the Snowy Night." The

soothsayer took the talisman and looked at it carefully, then he shook his head and said to Aya, "I don't recognize it, it seems that I have to wait for the big butler to come back." But—

" He pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of the Frost Mansion, I was about to go and tell the chief of the guard that the divination revealed that there was a secret place hidden in that house, related to the case, and you just happened to have the key, why don't we two go and inspect it first?"

"No problem, let's go now!"

The two came to the Frost Mansion again, opened the door and walked in.

The soothsayer took out a candle from his bosom, lit it and handed it to Aya, covering his mouth and nose with a thick cotton handkerchief and explaining, "My nose is a little allergic, so I don't sneeze all the time because of inhaling smoke.

By the light of the candle, he walked over to the cupboard by the wall and forcefully removed it, revealing the wooden wall behind it.

Then he crouched down, pried up a piece of the floor, and reached out to turn it inside, the planks on the wall slowly moved to the side, and a secret room was revealed.

Aya looked at the secret room in surprise and asked, "These are all from divination? It's amazing!"

The soothsayer smiled and didn't answer, but just asked, "Your face is not very good, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Aya held a candle in one hand and rubbed her temples with the other: "My head is a little dizzy, maybe I didn't sleep last night." "

The chamber is small, except for an altar with strange symbols, a circle of candles around it, and six offering plates in the middle, three of which prominently hold the head of the murdered girl.

The soothsayer stepped forward to light the candles one by one, and said as if to himself: "Dark magic records that if you make offerings with the heads and hearts of six young girls, you can sign a contract with the devil, and then you will be able to obtain the powerful magical power from hell! There are already four of them here, and it won't be long before the devil can be summoned."

Aya was even more dizzy, almost unsteady on her feet, she asked in a daze: "No, there are only three here..."

The soothsayer turned his head, and finally showed a smug smile: "There is a way to heaven you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you don't understand? You are the fourth!"

The candle in Aya's hand fell to the ground and went out, and she collapsed to the ground weakly.

She cursed with her last sobriety: "The murderer turned out to be you, you will be put on the fire and burned alive." The

soothsayer squatted down and looked at Aya's gradually distracting eyes, as if admiring the prey he caught, and he snorted disdainfully: "When you die quietly, I will take back my talisman, and no one will know about this, haha..."
