"Salute to you, my lord." In the stone ring in the vestibule of the graystone castle, the Holy Spirit Guardian Wanna lured the ice-blooded witch Daniela here.
"Good day, Daniela." The lord sat on the ring chair with his back to the mottled golden tree, his smile filled with warmth.
"My lord, what's wrong with the Mother Goddess?" Ice-blooded witch Daniela bravely met the lord's clear gaze.
"Invaded by the Nightmare Queen using 'Dead Dreams'." The lord made a long story short: "I need your help."
"I am happy to oblige, my lord." Ice-blooded witch Daniela nodded happily. It is said that as believers of the loving mother goddess Mara, the love between the ice-blooded witch Daniela and the tomb knight Simon Rodern is somewhat "Platonic": a spiritually pure love that pursues spiritual communication and rationality. In order to show his love for Daniela, the Tomb Knight Simon Rodern volunteered to give her his heart and was transformed into a Heart of Thorns warrior. You know, under normal circumstances, the Forsworn of Reach will be planted with the Heart of Thorns only after death and become the spirit of vengeance - a powerful warrior similar to the undead.
This means that from the moment the Tomb Knight Simon Rodern dug out his heart with his own hands, he actually died for love.
This kind of undying love is really touching. This is also the mental immunity that the ice-blooded witch Daniela, as a follower of Mara, will not be easily bewitched by the Nightmare Queen and get lost in a powerful, twisted and corrosive dream.
In addition to the ice-blooded witch Daniela who participated in the last true love sacrifice, and to go deep into the special demon realm of "Dream of Death", the lord also needs powerful warriors from Songard, the Nordic paradise.
After all, corresponding to the "nightmare of the present world" as the "Dead Maiden" who is the incarnation of Mephala, Songard of Gine and Shure is obviously the "dream of the present world." Moreover, the Nord heroic spirit is also an extremely special spirit body, very close to a "war spirit", but it cannot be generally called a spirit.
Reference Eight Holy Spirits are "reflections", and all spirits are also called "afterimages". Mortals in Nirn often confuse spirits with ghosts or souls. In fact, the boundaries between the three are not very clear. Mainland scholars generally believe that the difference between spirits and ghosts is that spirits retain more of the personality and memory of the living, and basically appear as relatively complete spiritual bodies. However, distortions or incompleteness may still occur. Additionally, necromancy works equally well on spirits, allowing them to be controlled or twisted.
The biggest difference between "heroic spirits" and "war spirits" is that "war spirits" are often attached to the weapons or remains of the original owner left in the world. "Heroic spirits" do not need "fetters in this world". Because they escaped the reincarnation of the "Dream Tube" and gained eternal life in Songard. Therefore, the three Sognard female heroes who are stranded in Graystone Castle: Thorhild Purgatory Fire, Ogra Stormfist, and Liris Titan's Descendant will also participate in the Lord's upcoming trip to Labrinthian. Adventures in the "Northern Kingdom".
True Love Sacrifice does not need to be performed at the Temple of Mara in Riften. Because in essence, the Eight Holy Spirits are the reflection of the earth's bones, so as long as they are present in Nirn, they can communicate with the Eight Holy Spirits. As long as there is a place where Mara's "spiritual response" exists, a true love sacrifice ceremony can be held. Generally speaking, the place where the "god statue" is erected is the place where the god should be.
The gray stone castle "Holy Spirit Guard Tower" and the Altar of Mara under the statue of the Loving Mother.
The divine incarnation of the loving Mother Goddess, the Goddess of True Love, Alicia, presided over the ceremony with a magical effect far beyond that of ordinary temple priests. As before, when the housekeeper presented the "Ring Book·Code of True Love" in the "Ring Set·Alicia's True Love Furnace" in her hand, a beam of divine light that was corroded into "rust" by the Nightmare Goddess fell from the sky.
The moment it hit the "Huan Shu·Code of True Love", it caused ripples.
The sense of time and space in this world suddenly lengthened.
When the Lord opened his eyes again, he had already entered the lifeless "Death Dream". As the host of the ceremony, the goddess of true love, Alicia, was not by his side. Looking around, the corrupt swamp loomed in the mist. As expected, this place is a reflection of the Nightmare Swamp in Valmina's Annihilation Realm, and maybe even a part of it.
Just as the lord was looking around, a muffled sound of "gudong, gudong" suddenly came from the depths of the muddy swamp in front of him. As the lord watched, a "soap bubble" that grew bigger and bigger emerged from the muddy swamp, then tremblingly broke free from the shackles of the mud, and floated into the air with difficulty.
As the wrapped mud dripped down, the transparent "soap bubbles" suddenly stretched out octopus-like tentacles in all directions, and the tightly closed eye slits suddenly opened. The "soap bubble" covered with tentacles turned into a huge evil eye.
This strange creature is an omen from the realm of Valmina.
"Master, be careful." As he spoke, a ray of magic light passed through the Eye of Omen.
Staring into big bloodshot eyes, Omen fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of sewage.
The person who came was none other than the ice-blooded witch Daniela: "This is Valmina's Omen of Fear. It is also known as the 'Eye of Fear'."
"Hush -" the Lord signaled the ice-blooded witch Daniela to be silent. When the Eye of Fear turned into pus, he seemed to hear a miserable cry: "Did you hear anything?"
"Master, I didn't hear anything." The battle was over, and the "ring light" on the ice-blooded witch Daniela was gradually disappearing.
In other words, with the help of many successful experiences of fabricating "Rings" out of thin air, combined with the "Ice-Touched Ring" engraved for the Ice-Touched Witches: "Secret Fire Heart Ring" + "Ice-Touched (Witch) Ring" + "Sorrow ( Windcaller) Life Ring" + "Golden Tree Ring" + "Chaos Grant Ring" + "Magic Bracelet", the Lord also customized the "Lone Rock Magic Ring" for all Lone Rock Witch Coven members: "Secret Rock Ring" "Heart of Fire Ring" + "Lone Rock (Witch) Ring" + "Unyielding (Guardian) Life Ring" + "Golden Tree Ring" + "Dark Spirit Gift Ring" + "Magic Bracelet".
They are also solitary rock rings, the only difference is the divine conferment: the "Dark Spirit Ring" of the death goddess Namira, the "Blood Moon Grant Ring" of the hunting god Hircine, and the "Black Light" of the night goddess Nocturnal. Give a ring". The ice-blood witch Daniela wears the "Ring of True Love" from the loving mother goddess Mara. Simply put, "giving rings" is closely related to faith.
In fact, from the perspective of the "Second Realm Faith Circuit" born from the source of the "Ring Goddess", the "True Love Ring" of the ice-blooded witch Daniela actually matches the lord. Of course, from the essence of the law given by Dragon Break, the ice-blooded witch Daniela, whose narrative has been reset, is no longer the witch of fate she once was. In fact, everyone knows this. Including Daniela herself, who had her fate changed against heaven, and the lord who was the instigator. A similar situation has been raised to the shelter terminology: "exclusive branch plot line reset".
As the pus formed by the Eye of Fear poured in, the swamp began to bubble again.
Immediately afterwards, another huge evil eye suddenly opened.
"Omen of Betrayal." The "Light of the Ring" on the ice-blooded witch Daniela was activated again.
The portent of betrayal went by many names during the First and Second Ages. The high elves of Summerset call it "The Gray Sleep," and the Argonians call it "The Egg-Terror." The Orcs of Orsinium call themselves "The Visiting Breton" after their feuding Bretons. There is also a relatively personal explanation here, Valmina's lover "Night Terror" was originally a Breton.
The vicious gazes that were constantly directed at the ice-blooded witch Daniella were completely blocked by the self-consistent dimension of the magic circle, and bursts of black smoke rose up. The lord couldn't help but sigh: "There is no such word as 'betrayal' in the dictionary of those who will remain faithful to death."
The betrayal ray that can corrupt the target person is completely ineffective against the ice-blooded witch Daniela. In this duel in the dream, the Lord clearly had the upper hand.
