Stepping out of the Holy Light Gate, Wu Chen and the housekeeper arrived at the ruins of the Miraak Temple - the "Eye of Ice".
Not long ago, when the Ash Balrog Gaia Artoria transformed into the Giant Balrog, she filled the pit with glacier water that melted from the Infernal Whip and then solidified it. Stepping onto the lake surface covered with a layer of ice crystals, you can immediately see the tree stone standing in the center of the beautiful Eye of Ice.
There is a vague figure under the ancient standing stone. The lord's identity was determined in advance from the perspective of his fleeting spiritual body. It is Sindala, the warden of the Tribunal Temple of Ashfall Tears.
"Master, is it him?" the housekeeper asked quietly.
"It's him." Wu Chen's "spiritual memory" penetrates directly into his soul, which is called miraculous. And it rarely goes wrong.
"Master, not long ago you asked Dean Freya and Director Blerina to work together to release the "Whispering Creation Ring" and transform the six Creator Standing Stones into "Whispering Creation Standing Stones". Is it possible that a little-known warden of the Tears of Ashes Judgment Seat Temple can change the standing stones again? "The housekeeper has a deep understanding of the "Whispering Circle of Creation".
You must know that from the "Low Grammar Ring" to the "Whispering Creation Ring", the biggest improvement is the divine power given by the "Magnet-Giving Ring". From the rule level, the "low grammar ring" is directly raised to the "creation level". This also means that all the creatures and even gods in the world who came later than the creation of the world in the torrent of time cannot compete with the "Whispering Creation Ring".
A single watcher of the Tears of Ashes Judgment Seat Temple is obviously unable to change the status quo.
"You're right." The lord's tone seemed to have a deeper meaning: "But 'no coincidence can make a book', isn't it?"
"What the master said is right." The housekeeper immediately armed herself, ready to protect her man at any time.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Watcher Sindara raised his head and stroked the ancient standing stone, gently put down his arm, took half a step back, and turned around slowly.
"We meet again, Baron Ximu."
"Sure enough, the mastermind behind all conspiracies has an inconspicuous identity." Wu Chen responded calmly.
"Haha..." A meaningful laughter sounded from the strange metal helmet: "Baron Ximu, it seems that you know nothing like those people. Ignorant and fearless Nords."
"Ah, if I was wrong and you are an indispensable big shot, then I'm very sorry." Wu Chen's tone was not apologetic at all.
"You don't need to apologize. No one's apology in this world can solve the final problem." Watcher Sindara raised his head slightly, looking into the distance through the narrow gaps in the metal helmet: "He is here. "
The ground began to shake and cracks appeared in the glaciers. The beautiful "Eye of Ice" is covered with scars amidst the endless clicking sounds.
Needless to say, it was the thousand-foot brass giant Namidian who strode forward.
"Baron Ximu, as you can see, my conspiracy is not against anyone. Including you and your Lady Gisei Siying, they are not my targets." Watcher Sindala pulled his gaze back: "So, do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Wu Chen nodded lightly: "But neither Southheim nor Morrowind can withstand another Red Mountain Dragon defeat. Vivec."
"What?!" Everyone, including the housekeeper, was shocked by the last name spoken by the lord.
Could it be that the true identity of Sindala, the inconspicuous watcher of the Tribunal Temple of Tears of Ashes, is actually one of the three living gods of the Tribunal, the patron of artists and outliers, Mephala's "transcendence" "Evolution", the guardian of Morrowind, the warrior poet Vivec who confines the evil god to the Red Mountain? !
"Ah..." A sigh of relief sounded from inside the ridiculous fully enclosed metal helmet: "As expected, you still know, Baron Ximu."
"Yeah." Wu Chen nodded lightly.
"when?"
"From the beginning."
"Where is the omission?"
"Androgyny."
As he spoke, Wu Chen pointed to the corner of his eye: "I can see the soul through the surface. Your (spiritual body) is different from men and women."
"Ah..." Vivec was convinced.
"Master, since it's the 'Hongshan Longpo', why did you choose this place?" the housekeeper asked hurriedly.
"Because although Dragon Flame can activate the Brass Giant Nanidian in the 'standby state' into a 'self-propelled state', if you want to 'release the Dragon Break', you need more magic energy." Wu Chen tried to be as easy to understand as possible. Explanation: "So he needs to use the 'Ancient Standing Stone Magic Array' on Southelheim Island to charge the brass giant."
"But isn't there a Mantra gem?" the housekeeper was puzzled.
"The Mantra Gem forged by Dragonborn Emperor Tiber Septim out of the hearts of two powerful men, Zulin Arctus and Wulfharth, High King of Skyrim, should have been exhausted during the last Western Distortion event. The energy may even have fragmented.
"Two hearts opened the Dragon Break twice. The first time was the thousand-year siege of Summerset Island, and the second time was the Western Distortion Incident in Ili Gulf." Vivec recognized the Lord's judgment.
"So, we need to create another Mantra gem." The housekeeper thought.
"No need." The lord's answer was unexpected: "Someone has already done it."
"Could it be that..." The housekeeper had an idea and felt a chill all over her body: "Sosa Sil's greatest masterpiece: Lorkhan's Mechanical Heart!"
"Ah, Baron Ximu, you and your housekeeper scare me a little." Wu Chen's understanding of the entire incident far exceeded Vivec's expectations.
"The new Heart of Lorkhan will be completed. And it will power my city for all eternity." - Sotha Sil .
The Mechanical Heart, also known as the new Heart of Lorkhan, is a mechanical replica of the Heart of Lorkhan created by Sotha Sil, the clockwork god of the Tribunal. It began development in 2E 882. At that time, Dagoth Ur awoke during the Three Living Gods' annual pilgrimage to the Red Mountain to renew their divine powers, ambushed and nearly killed the Inquisition of the Trinity. This incident caused the three living gods of the Inquisition to be unable to reach Lorkhan's heart, and their divine power began to fail. Sotha Sil conceived the Heart of the Machine project as a backup to mitigate the loss of the original Heart of Lorkhan. The mechanical heart is stored in the Lorkhan Hall deep in the central gear of the Clockwork City for highly secure development. The central gear contains an automatic defense system controlled by the Master Factotum. In its early development stages, the mechanical heart proved dangerous and unstable. Possibly destroying the entire Clockwork City, Sotha Sil devised a plan to contain it. Controlling the heart by creating his own replica of the "Kagrenac Tool", which can be shaped or dismantled when necessary.
However, Sotha Sil's plan was too hasty. In 3E 427, the goddess Almalexia went mad because of the loss of her divine power. She used the Balizal Labyrinth Ring retrieved by Nerevarine to teleport to the Clockwork City and murder Sotha Sil in cold blood. Knowing that one day Almalexia might come to kill him, Sotha Sil successfully sealed his heart in Lorkhan's Hall before his death to ensure that the Clockwork City could continue to exist after his death. Automatic machines inside will complete the final construction of the heart on its own.
The Heart of the Machine was completed in 4E 201, approximately 649 years after its initial conception and 207 years after Sotha Sil's death. Even years after Sotha Sil's death, the heart continues to power the city.
Then here comes the problem.
Where is the Heart of Machinery that was sealed away by Sotha Sil personally in Lorkhan's Hall deep in the central gear of Clockwork City?
