My name is Akatosh,
I'm poaching the gods and demons.
——4e, year 175, Moon of the Rainhand, 12th, 16:42——
After nearly five years of war, the Septim Empire and Thalmor finally shook hands and signed an armistice agreement called the "Platinum Agreement". It was Tiber Septim, the first emperor of the empire, who was worshiped as the "Ninth Holy Spirit".
Although the reason for this clause is that Thalmor wanted to deny the existence of the act of "ascension from man to god", if you think about it carefully, it is completely untenable. Another holy spirit, "arkay", was also created by a human. Why don't you boycott someone who has been promoted to a god? According to my previous experience in Summerset Island, Zelapesh's vest, the real thoughts of the elves are actually dissatisfaction with the fact that "the guy who drove them away from the center of the continent turned out to be the Holy Spirit."
The reason why the empire agreed so readily was because they themselves had blown the story of Tiber Septim’s ascension to the gods. I’m afraid the people who said so didn’t believe it themselves. Unlike other holy spirits, Tiber Septim There are absolutely no miracles or oracles after being worshiped as the "Ninth Holy Spirit". As for the Nords feeling stronger after shouting "For Talos" in battle, it is just an illusion.
In this regard, as Akatosh, I have a strong say. The Wheel of the World is still composed of eight Holy Spirits and sixteen Demon Gods interlocking and restraining each other. Talos has no place at all - even Akai, who was also promoted from a human, his original The position is also occupied by "concepts" such as the cycle of life and death, funerals, and cemeteries.
Those who worship Talos only hope that he can become the Holy Spirit with his own merits, and have not considered what priesthood he should bear. Currently, he can only occupy the secondary priesthoods such as "Battle" and "Victory" which are a little embarrassing. The jurisdiction of the god Stendarr, but they had a good personal relationship, so they gave up part of it.
The Imperial Agreement was signed happily, but the Nords in Skyrim Province could not accept it, because Tiber Septim originally came from Skyrim, and he also had the title "Dragon of the North". In Skyrim Province, " "Talos" has even more admirers than all other Holy Spirits combined. It can be said that it was the signing of the "Platinum Agreement" that gave Ulfric Stormcloak the opportunity to organize his rebellion. However, currently " The Stormcloaks are just ordinary weapons used to maintain law and order in Skyrim Province.
'I have to say that Lao Wu was quite handsome when he was young. 'I mingled with the Snowhoof family's team and watched Ulfric Stormcloak from a distance as he pointed at Markarth City and made a battle plan.
Although his hair is gray, his eyes are as blue as the sea, and his face has sharp edges. Coupled with the dark blue light armor with a cloak, he looks heroic. The big man next to him is the trusted deputy Galmar Stone. Fist, discussing tactics together with the general manager of Windhelm City, the thin Qiao Leifu, and the guard captain Rui Ji who was ordered to come from Dugu City to help.
[What are you doing here? Plan to stop his massacre of the Forsworn? 】
'There is no need to stop them, just let them go secretly. After all, they fought to the end because Markas City is easy to defend and difficult to attack and there is no secret way to escape. '
The Forsworn are a strange race. They are related to elves, humans, and orcs. They took the opportunity to occupy Markarth City when the empire dispatched Nord warriors to fight the elves. At this time, with the signing of the Platinum Agreement, With the return of Nord troops, all parties were preparing to regain the city as political capital, but due to mutual interference, the Stormcloaks took the lead.
[Whitewash the Stormcloak? 】
'Well, that's a bit of it, but the conflict between the Empire and the Stormcloaks goes beyond that. Even if the matter is cleared up, they will still have to fight. '
Two of the things that Ulfric Stormcloak was criticized for happened at this time. One was that the Forsworn in Markarth City refused to surrender. After Ulfric occupied Markarth City, he almost killed them. The light eventually caused the Forsworn to attack the Nords for revenge like bandits everywhere outside the city of Markarth. The second was the follow-up to this incident. As the matter became serious, Thalmor learned that there was a Stormcloak force that was still Believing in the existence of Talos's power, he forced the Empire to arrest Ulfric. During his imprisonment, he missed the last time he saw his father, the former Lord of Windhelm, who died of illness. As a result, he developed a deep hatred for the Empire, and finally Accepted Thalmor ambassador Aranwen's offer to become a spy against the Empire and operated in this capacity for several years.
Although it is still unclear whether he was a real Thalmor spy or just used the opportunity to escape, this dark history still caused many dragonborn to join the Imperial camp without hesitation.
"The Forsworn have escaped!" "They're afraid of us!" "Oh!"
Before the commanders made specific battle arrangements, some sharp-eyed people in the coalition forces preparing to attack Markarth City had already seen a large number of Forsworn people wearing strange clothes and antlers escaping from the side entrance in large numbers. Although Nord People love to fight, but being able to win without a fight and without bloodshed is cause for celebration.
"Strange, does Markarth City have a side entrance?" Ulfric gave up formulating a battle plan, put his hand on the map, and looked at the backs of those who escaped with some confusion.
"Ha! Those barbarians finally know how to be afraid." Galmar Stonefist laughed.
"Then we will enter the city immediately and capture it. Although capturing the city without a battle is not enough, there is no damage to the city to add some leverage." Joe Refu said.
"Then, maintain the search situation and enter Markarth City." Ulfric pointed.
"Wait a minute," Riki, who was wearing imperial armor and looked very Nord-like, grabbed him and said, "They can go, but you must leave immediately."
"Thalmor?" Ulfric frowned and looked at Reggie, then asked.
"Yes, they have discovered that you Stormcloaks still believe in Talos. Although they are helpless towards your father, they are ready to take the opportunity to arrest you and blackmail him." Reggie whispered, although she was cheered by the army that was entering the city. There is no need: "Don't worry about me, it's not difficult to pretend not to believe."
"Thank you." Ulfric no longer entered the city, but turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
'That's almost enough,' I took back the Annihilation Gate that let the Forsworn away, 'They must not have thought that when they passed through what looked like a big hole in the wall, they had already gone to Sognard. '
[There is no point in rescuing these Forsworn. From their point of view, they are being driven out of their homeland. There will not be many fewer Forsworn bandits led by Reach in the future. 】
'Yes, yes, it makes sense to deal with the demons, but after the first few, the rest are all hidden. What can I do, I can only wait until the plot officially begins and they have to show up, and then try to take a stab at it. 'I avoided the large troops swarming into the city and found a hiding place to open a new door of annihilation and go to the location of another incident.
——17:22——
My destination is the Snowmantle Chamber, not Snowrun City. It is an ancient Nord tomb. It has various mechanisms and riddle doors similar to other Nord tombs, but it is different from other ancient Nord tombs where the key to the mechanism can still be found. The key to this ancient tomb has completely disappeared from the world, and the locks of its secret doors cannot be picked at all. Although this kind of strange thing puzzled the returning tomb robbers, it was just a distraction for me to investigate.
Unlike other corpses that have become ghosts due to the passage of time, the corpses in the tomb have gathered scattered souls and turned into ghosts. The owner of this tomb had made up his mind to be resurrected during his lifetime, and made many arrangements in the tomb for this purpose, and successfully succeeded in dying. In the third year after his death, he transformed into a powerful ghoul that retained the memories of his life.
If he followed his plan, there should be no problem in excavating other tombs along the way to recruit corpses into an army, and eventually dominate the sky. Ordinary human armies would be helpless against him. Even if the Holy Spirit wanted to stop him, there would be demon gods who were afraid of the world being in chaos.
But the problem is that this guy's level was too low when he was alive, and he didn't know what kinds of demons there were. His behavior completely angered Meridia, so when he just opened the door of the tomb and saw the light of day, he was burned. The brilliance evaporated directly, along with the locks and keys of all the doors. From now on, no one can enter this tomb - until now.
If you want to break the restriction set by one demon god, only another demon god can do it. At this time, I was walking invisibly behind three nocturnal believers. Their leader was holding a With the huge key inlaid with a skull, whenever you encounter a door that cannot be opened, just raise your hand and it will open.
"Are you sure you have received the Oracle of the Lady of the Night?" Dark Elf Kalia asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, if I take out the skull key without authorization, Ms. Ye will definitely give you an oracle to arrest me." Mercer Frey continued to clear the way without looking back.
"But Ms. Ye doesn't answer any of our prayers now." Gallus also hesitated.
Well, that's the advantage of being a god. I can know everyone's name at a glance. Even if I don't use this talent, I know exactly who they are - the "Nightingale" who secretly leads the Thieves Guild.
Mercer Frey learned the rumors about this tomb from some ancient books. Since the unlucky owner of the tomb is going to be resurrected, naturally there will be no cheap burial objects. All the things placed deep in the tomb are real treasures. After punishing him, Meridia no longer pays attention to this place, so as long as she can open the door, she can have all the wealth.
Nocturnal had a "skull key" that could open any door lock. When Mercer tried to borrow it, he said, "If you want to use it, I will take away all my protection from you."
To put it simply, these three people and even the members of the Thieves Guild under them will all become "lucky e". However, Mercer, who is not aware of this, still decides to take this unknown risk.
I originally stared at these believers of Nocturnal, preparing to ambush him when he interfered, but in the end, he completely returned to the realm of annihilation and ignored these nightingales - could he have discovered that I was staring at them?
[So, are you going to save Gallus or Mercer? 】
"Pfft!" Mercer just lost his mind and suddenly got angry when he arrived outside the treasure room. He turned around and shot an arrow at Gallus who was caught off guard.
'First Gallus has to save. 'I pulled out the poison arrow stuck in my chest and gave Gallus, who was completely unharmed, a hold-down spell to make him look like he had been poisoned and died.
'Then Mercer also had to find a way. 'I watched Mercer try to hunt down Kallia, but the dark elf escaped with great agility. 'When I played the game, I deliberately didn't do the tasks here. You can take Mercer to fight all over the sky. '
[Do you think this is poaching the devil? 】
'Hey, there's going to be a lot of digging in the future, let's see if they dare to come out and confront them. 'Opening the Gate of Annihilation, I threw Gallus into Sognard.
