Before becoming the Lord of Ximu, Wu Chen, a brave man who stayed at the Sleeping Giant Hotel for a long time, had a premonition. The boss lady Delphine must have an unknown past.
Subsequent events further confirmed Wu Chen's suspicion. That's why the two made an agreement under the high tower of Bingxi Mine. As long as the dragon attack crisis of Mirmenir is resolved, Delphine will not hide anything from Wu Chen and confess everything.
"My lord, how much do you know about blades?" Delphine went straight to the point.
"Blades is an ancient organization and is the sworn protector of Emperor Septim's Dragon Blood..." Wu Chen's memory copies related to it emerged.
The original mission of the Blades was to search for the scattered fragments of the brass giant Numidium. Later, they were named Blades by the emperor and gradually evolved into a spy organization within the empire. Members began to hide their true identities and secretly worked for the emperor. Potency. Although its status was once quite lofty, after the crisis of annihilation and the sacrifice of the last Dragonborn Emperor, the Blade without its loyal object will gradually decline, and was replaced by Penitus Oculatus in the early Fourth Age. After the Empire signed the Platinum Accord to end the Great War, the Blades were forced to disband as one of the additional terms. Therefore, the Blade Club at this time is an illegal organization that has been banned by the empire.
Delphine is the leader of the Blades after the Great War. He is also one of the last survivors of the Blades. During the Great War, Delphine was an Assassin of the Order of the Blades. Before the Great War, she planned several attacks on Summerset and Valen Forest. Therefore, she became the primary assassination target of the Third Ancestral China. It happened that when the Third Ancestral China began to purge the Blade Society, she happened to be recalled to the imperial capital of Cyrodiil and escaped the disaster. When the great war began, Delphine escaped several assassinations and finally escaped from the intelligence network of the Third Ancestor China. He went all the way north to Skyrim, hid in Ximu Town in Xueman Territory, and built the Sleeping Giant Hotel. And secretly reorganized the Blade Society.
During the Skyrim Civil War around 4E 201, Delphine secretly made many allies in Snowman, including the chief mage Farengar Secretfire. The two try to uncover the locations of the various dragon tombs scattered across the sky. Finally, with the help of the housekeeper, Farenjia obtained the dragon stone from Hanluo Peak and made a map marking all the dragon tombs. When the Lord used the magic light cannon to "annihilate" the incoming dragon Fujuenak, it attracted Delphine's attention. Out of the inherent caution of the master assassin, Delphine decided to confess everything to Wu Chen only after Wu Chen "killed" the dragon Mirmenir.
However, in order to gain the recognition of the last Blade Guild Master, as the last dragonborn lord, he had to kill another giant dragon.
"Salocnir?" Wu Chen was already familiar with the dragon language: "Phantom (Sah), Sky (Lok), Hunting (Nir)."
"Yes, it's the 'Phantom Hunter in the Sky' Saloknir." Blade Guild Delphine's eyes were eager: "Thaloknir is one of the few dragons that survived the era of dragon wars. In In the First Age, he was killed by the Nord hero Jorg Hemberg, and his body was collected by the Dragon Cult and buried in the Dragon Mound east of the Kinai Woods. By 2E 373, Saroknir was still buried there. The legend of a dragon near a Nord town, Dragon Mound later attracted the attention of other groups, such as the Dragon Guard. They built the Dark Water Temple on the mountain next to it. The Order of the Blades is also featured in the Dragon Atlas of dragons)" recorded the death of Sarokniel. By 2E 582, the Keepers of the Grove erected a monument to Kyne, the storm goddess and mother of Nords, on the dragon hill. Temples where they performed various prayers and sacrificial rituals to the goddess.”
This description of the dragon Saloknir is full of historical magnificence and solemnity. Those individuals and organizations that Wu Chen had only heard about slightly in the torrent of time were mentioned again by Blade Guild Delphine: Blade and Dragon Guard.
"Delphine, as the blade in the darkness, has been removed from the faith of Talos, the ninth Holy Spirit, since the Platinum Accord. After the Collapse, Tamriel was torn apart by the Oblivion Storm, the Skyrim Civil War broke out, and the World Destroyer returned...at this moment. What do you want to do?" The lord asked the key point, and changed the polite "you" into a closer "you".
"The Blades will do the same thing as adults: slay dragons and save the world." As a Breton, Delphine has more vitality than the Nords, so from the perspective of the life cycle of Breton, Delphine at this time In the prime of life. Both physically and mentally, he is at his peak, and of course he will not give in to fate.
"No, Delphine." Wu Chen smiled and shook his head: "Dragon slaying and saving the world are actually two different things and cannot be confused."
"That's what the adults said." Delphine had her own understanding: "Although dragon slaying is not the whole story of saving the world, it is at least a way to save the world."
"So what should we do specifically?" Wu Chen asked according to her train of thought.
"Since the Lord asked, as the last blade, I would like to borrow the clear words of Jauffre, the Grandmaster of the Blades: "The blade has sworn allegiance to the Emperor as a mortal of the dragon blood of Talos, the ninth holy spirit. Representative (The Blades are sworn to the service of the Emperor, as the mortal representative of the Dragon Blood of the divine Talos). "
This is the sacred oath of the Blades. Delphine's expression said it all. As the last dragonborn, the Lord used dragon slaying to prove that he is the last dragonborn with the blood of Talos dragon. Therefore, as the last Blade Guild Master, Delphine will serve the Lord wholeheartedly.
"So you want to rebuild the Blade Society." Wu Chen understood.
"Yes, my lord. We are going to activate the Sky Haven Temple, which has been abandoned for thousands of years. There is ancient information there to defeat Alduin."
"How much do you know about Dragon Guard?" The Lord was noncommittal.
"Dragon Guard is the predecessor of Blade." Delphine told the lord this ancient history...
In fact, the "History of the Dragon Guard" written by Chiasa Vader, the chronicler of the Blades, has a clear record of the origin of the Dragon Guard: "Even the students know it (is this a group joke?) , northern Tamriel was invaded by a group of 'Akaviri Raiders (powerful warriors from the Dragon Continent)' in 1E 2700. This group of Akaviri warriors possessed great power, and they conquered the land of Skyrim. Cutting a rift, they defeated all opponents along the way until they encountered the Cyrodiil forces commanded by General Reman at the Pale Pass. After a brief battle, the Akaviri surrendered to Reman. , saying that they found in him what they came to Tamriel to seek (the Dragonborn).
Rayman incorporated the Akaviri into his own forces and continued his march, pacifying much of Tamriel and crowning him king, forming the Second Empire. The best and brightest Akaviri formed the Dragonguard, commanded by Emperor Reman himself.
For the next two centuries, the Dragon Guard protected the Reman Dynasty. It is said that the skills they used to protect the emperor were learned from the dragons, which have existed on the Akaviri continent for more than There are many of them in Tamriel.
But when Lehman III was assassinated in 1E 2920, marking the end of Lehman's dynasty (as well as the end of the First Era), the Dragon Guard was officially disbanded at this time, with some of them being killed for failing to defend the emperor. Feel ashamed. However, when the ruler Versidue-Shaie ascended the Ruby Throne, the Dragon Guard resumed its activities unofficially, but more as an intelligence network than an honor guard.
Other former Dragon Guard members pursued different paths. Some were joined by their former centurion Dinieras-Ves, who founded what became known as the Warriors' Guild. Others became adventurers who traveled the continent, making a living as combat trainers or mercenaries.
One of the former members of the Dragon Guard, whose name has been lost, is known only to chroniclers, who call him the Master. He ensured that the ancient Akaviri martial and arcane arts would survive the new and turbulent Second Age. However, he will only teach those who are willing to pass on the techniques he teaches. These people were the original members of what we now call the 'Dragon Knights'. "
