The sword flashed.
This "eye of betrayal" was cut in two again.
"Ouch -" the howling sound was close at hand. A withered hand came out of the ground and grabbed the lord's ankle. This is the real owner of the two eyes.
With a flick of the Lord's finger, the attacker was pulled out of the mud with his hands and feet. It flew far away like a cannonball and landed heavily. With another hook, the attacker was hooked back through the air. It just hung in mid-air, unable to move like a puppet on strings.
The sneak attacker, wearing a tattered palace dress, stared into two empty eyes and screamed heartbreakingly. However, there was no way to fight back.
The ice-blooded witch Daniela, who was facing a formidable enemy, stared at the Lord's "skeleton finger" and blinked hard. This is the legendary high-dimensional power that can drag the entire world of Mendas. Legend has it that it is driven by "an entire starry sky."
Just as the ice-blooded witch Daniella blinked hard, the lord's eyes of true sight, which flashed out, had already seen through the sneak attacker's psychic circuit: "Are you... a Red Guard?"
As mentioned before, just like human DNA, the psychic circuits of each race and even each individual are different. Even the closest people or even clones of oneself have subtle differences in psychic circuits. Simply put, this is individual differences caused by uncontrollable "gene mutations".
The sneaker's self-awareness has long been corroded by nightmares, but there still seems to be a faint trace of spiritual awareness. Following the chaotic psychic circuits in the body corroded by nightmares, the Lord discovered a weak "spiritual flash point." The location is right behind the attacker.
The lord's heart moved, and a dagger stabbed from behind flew out from the back. The mark of the Alcalai Flame Knights can be vaguely seen on this dagger condensed with rotten blood. And the inscription near the hilt: Sir Hughes.
Not long ago, the lord had just read the relevant ancient books and still remembered that period of history: "So, you are the Duchess of Larkana who was assassinated by Sir Hughes."
Duchess Lacana of Alcale, Iliac Bay. She was a Redguard princess who married Nathaniel, Duke of Brighton. She is also the second daughter of Farhara Jad, the supreme benevolent lord of the Red Guard, and is known as the "Star of the Almandine".
In 2E 582, the Alcalai region was invaded by Varmina's Order of Heavenly Dreamers. Sir Hughes was affected by the fearful omens, believing that the city-state of Alcalai would be betrayed by the Duchess of Lacana to the Redguard King. So he wanted to kill Duchess Lakana first. Sir Hughes first secretly sent Dame Falhut (Dame Falhut) to poison the food, but failed. The duchess also noticed it and secretly wrote to her father, the Redguard King Farhara'jad, asking for help. So King Farhara'jad sent a Red Guard army from Sentinel City into Stormport and stationed it outside Alcalai in the name of protecting the Duchess. Some Bretons in Alcalai were originally opposed to her political marriage with the Duke, and the arrival of the Red Guards at the city caused tension and mutual suspicion within the Daggerfall Alliance. In the end, Duchess Larkana was stabbed by Sir Hughes, the leader of the Knights of Fire, and eventually died. Then he was dragged into the realm of Valmina by the omen, wandering alone in the Nightmare Swamp.
There seems to be a trace of light left in the blood stained on this dagger. This reminded the Lord of a legend about Farhara'jad, the benevolent Lord of the Red Guards.
When the Most Merciful Lord Farhara'jad was a prince of Antiphyllos, he was hunting birds with his ivory bow in his garden one day when he happened to see a huge crow tearing down the fig tree. It's lit. Prince Farhara'jad swore: "In the name of Onsi's bright blade, I will kill this crow!" Then he placed an ivory arrow on his ivory bow and fired an arrow. Shoot the crow through the eye and kill it instantly.
Immediately afterwards, an ugly crow hag cursed and cursed from the sky. This humanoid demon pointed its filthy claws at the young prince and threatened him: "You killed my beloved child, so you must die! I will dig it up." Your eyes, enjoy it like grapes!" she screamed, shielding the prince's view with her paws.
Then a golden light fell from the sky, and it strode forward, like the great Anghi transformed into a shining blade. "Stop, evil creature." He chopped off the crow hag's claws, which were like Falling like hailstones to the ground, the humanoid demon knelt before the god, begging for mercy. Angsi said: "It is useless, harsh shrew, because you threaten my pious prince, who is the object of my special emphasis on training and protection. This noble young man Farhara'jad is the prophecy in the dangerous years. He is the one who leads our people. So you must die." Then he raised his hands and lowered his head.
The frightened prince covered his eyes, and when he dared to look again, both gods and demons had disappeared. So he doubted whether his eyes were wrong, so he hurried to the temple and told the priest of Angsi what had just happened. The priest confirmed that what he saw was indeed Onsi, the War God; Boneshaver of the Crown Redguard Gods. It is said that he taught the Redguards how to stretch a knife into a sword. The Ancients have been in Tamriel the longest and have stronger ties to the Second Empire of Tamriel, worshiping largely the same gods as the Empire, while the more conservative Crowns (Loyalists) still revere Yoku Dagu God - the Crown Eight Gods.
Therefore, it is obvious that the supreme benevolent Lord Farhara'jad and his bloodline have obtained the protection of the Redguard War God "Anxi".
However, even mainland scholars know clearly that each god has a different appearance. For example, Shure is the Nord aspect of Lorkhan. Apparently the Redguards are no exception. The lord's psychic memory clearly shows that the "Light of Angsi's Protection" on the dagger is actually the "Light of Meridia (giggle...you discovered it again, little brother)".
So it has always been Meridia, the Lady of Light, who has been protecting the Merciful Lord Farhara'jad and his bloodline.
"Master?" Seeing that the lord was thoughtful, the ice-blooded witch Daniela called softly.
"I'm fine. The Duchess of Lacana who died in vain has a ray of 'Light of Meridia' in her body to protect her mind. So she has not been completely lost in the Nightmare Swamp, nor has her soul been captured by Valmina. That is, Say, the 'Death Dream' we are in is just the border of the nightmare swamp of Valmina's Annihilation Realm, which overlaps with the divine realm of the loving Mother Goddess Mara." As he spoke, the lord turned his attention to pulling out the dagger, like a puppet with its strings cut off. The remains of Duchess Lacana with her limbs hanging down: "Judging from the current situation, just using my "Crimson Dragon Break" can reset the narrative of Duchess Lacana."
"Does the master want to resurrect Duchess Lacana?" Ice-blooded witch Daniela reminded hurriedly: "But what if this is a trap set by Valmina?"
"That's right." The Lord also has this concern: "A few days ago, I just went through the history of the Heavenly Dreamer Order's attack on Storm Harbor. Today I saw the remains of Duchess Lakana. The one inserted in the back Miraculously, the dagger of the heart has not been taken out. And the 'Light of Meridia', which can only be seen with my true eyes, still remains in her body. It happened when Valmina invaded the realm of Mara, the loving mother goddess. Everything in the 'Dream of Death' cannot be just a coincidence."
"If that's the case, there must be a conspiracy." Ice-blooded witch Daniela's eyes were firm.
"Think about it the other way around. Maybe like Peit who occupied the Skudafen Temple in advance, this is Valmina's test for me." The Lord did not refute as usual: "So, do you believe it or not?"
"Master, Valmina is recognized as the 'Evil Demon God' in the mainland." Ice-blooded witch Daniela obviously didn't believe it.
So, does our lord believe it or not?
