1 My name is Akatosh,
Also the night mother
——4e, 188 years, Frost Moon, 13th, 22:42——
The impact of the war between the Ancestral China and the Septim Empire did not end with the signing of the "Platinum Agreement."
First of all, the Redguards in the western province of Hammerfell did not recognize this agreement and unilaterally continued the war against Thalmor. They drove all the elven forces out of Hammerfell in 180 without receiving any support from the empire. The elves were forced to sign a new supplementary agreement to the Platinum Agreement, setting out separate terms for Hammerfell.
Then there is Skyrim Province. Because of the ban on belief in Talos, the empire's reputation has plummeted throughout the province. The "Stormcloaks", which were originally almost the personal armies of the lords of Windhelm City, have gained more and more popularity because of their clear-cut opposition to this regulation. support, and the seeds of rebellion had emerged due to the injustice they had received during the recapture of Markarth City.
However, this political aspect has little impact on me. What is really troublesome is the collapse of order due to war. As the empire's control over surrounding provinces weakens, the lords of those places - or not called this The leaders of various forces in the name are fighting for power, and various crimes are emerging in endlessly.
"Is there really no way to interfere?" I was nestled in Songgard, looking at the chaos in other provinces and asked the stupid system: "It can be done when Fuyuki is here."
[You can't interfere at that time,] The little black dragon flapped its wings: [All you can interfere with are the people and their related people who will appear in Fuyuki during the Holy Grail War. 】
"So, I can only interfere with those who will appear in Skyrim after 201 until Alduin is defeated and those who are closely connected with them?" I looked at the globe of Nirn and the reminders of some events. : "What did Martin say?"
[He is the 'Emperor', and the 'Emperor' has been to Skyrim Province. ] The stupid system flew to the globe: [If you want to interfere with things in other provinces, you must ensure that the target being interfered with will definitely come to Skyrim later, otherwise any interference results will disappear after you leave. 】
"Well, it's worth intervening in other provinces, and they will come to Skyrim Province..." I began to think.
Although the purpose can be achieved by issuing an oracle directly to send people to the sky, the purpose will be discovered by hostile demon gods. If they take the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be more troublesome. If the action is concealed under an attack on a certain demon god...
"Dark Brotherhood" I reached out to poke at the stupid system: "Where is the nightother now?"
If I want to save as many people as possible who unfortunately died due to various reasons in the process of defeating Alduin and obtaining its Breath of Destruction, this killer organization is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed. Murder for a reason—or rather, just money.
If you want to hire assassins from the Dark Brotherhood, you don't have to go looking for them. You only need to perform a dark ritual. The request will be sensed by the Night Mother, and she will arrange for her assassins to complete the target and collect rewards.
In the earliest legends, the Night Mother was an ordinary person, or a position within the Dark Brotherhood. After the legend of the Night Mother had far exceeded the life span of ordinary people, it began to spread that she was the incarnation of Mephala (pha), or even the incarnation of Sithis. spouse.
With Mephala's style of interfering in mortal affairs, it is still possible that she is her incarnation. As for Sithis' spouse, it is pure nonsense. How can a mortal, even a demon, become the spouse of the pure concept of "void"?
[Cyrodiil Province, Shandinhel Sanctuary in Bravel City] The little black dragon flapped its wings and turned the globe, focusing on the capital province of the empire: [Hmm, it is indeed the Dragon of Time. 】
"What's the meaning?"
[Tip: The Dark Brotherhood's Sanctuary of Shandinhell was attacked. 】
Is this still a major event? The most recent prompts that my sister sent without consulting her were "War between the Empire and the Ancestral China" and "Platinum Agreement Signed."
"You can try to intervene in this incident. Since the Night Mother's sarcophagus will come to the sky later, it is acceptable to capture Mephala or take the opportunity to make the Dark Brotherhood disappear." I zoomed in on the city, and there was indeed a large-scale fire going on there. and.
After the war, the empire could only maintain superficial peace in various cities. In places where the sun does not usually shine and after nightfall, many hidden forces would surface one after another and fight for various reasons.
At this time, the man who organized the attack on the Dark Brotherhood's sanctuary located below the street was Cyrodiil's largest illegal drug dealer Skuma. Obviously, the Dark Brotherhood's style of killing anyone as long as they gave money finally got through. Board, a certain commission against this businessman made him furious, intending to completely destroy the Dark Brotherhood.
Although the members of the Brotherhood are skilled in assassination, frontal combat is really not their strength. The mercenaries were moving step by step without giving them a chance to make a sneak attack, and they were already blocked deep in the sanctuary.
"Hey, Mephala is really here, but how should I capture her? Would it be too much to just let Akatosh's dragon transform into her?"
In a huge iron coffin guarded by Brotherhood members wearing strange black and red uniforms, there is a strange creature with a female upper body and a spider lower body smiling triumphantly - this is Mephala, a certain "weaving web" "" is the incarnation of the name.
[Akatosh has no reason to interfere in this kind of battle under the water, right?] The stupid system said: [Didn’t there be some evil in this world left last time? Throw it over and devour her. 】
"Hmm, good idea." I took out the remaining black moon after pinching three people before. It was not enough to pinch out a complete person, either a severely disabled living person or a perfect corpse. It shouldn't be a problem if you just throw it out to devour a demon incarnation.
The so-called demon gods and holy spirits are existences far beyond the scope of mortal understanding, and their incarnations will also inherit some of their characteristics. For example, this incarnation of Mephala looked up in confusion when I just decided to deal with her. Looking at the sky, his figure began to blur and seemed to be planning to escape.
"You can't leave." I waved my hand and threw out the black mud.
If the devil himself wanted to leave, I might not be able to stop him, just like Nocturnal who escaped and Dagon who pulled out the network cable. But a mere incarnation cannot escape even if it discovers its own crisis. This is already a certain restraint based on rules.
As expected, the half-human, half-spider incarnation was directly swallowed by the black mud before disappearing. If the guards opened the iron coffin now, they would find that it was full of surging black mud - if they had not been swallowed .
[Tip: Devour the incarnation of Mephala. 】
[Tip: Get the doomsday element: Dark Ritual. 】
[Tip: No available priesthood has been obtained. 】
Well... that's normal. She transformed into the Night Mother, selected specific believers to be "listeners", and arranged the assassination missions perceived through dark rituals, but she did not include any clergy or domain power.
Surging, rolling——
"Great Mother of Darkness, please guide us how to avoid this crisis."
...What is going on with the black mud perspective and the inexplicable prayer that suddenly appeared?
[Because the incarnation of the devil was swallowed, the identity of the Night Mother was also inherited.] The stupid system seemed to be gloating: [You will be locked in a coffin like a corpse~]
"Are you too proud?" I reached out to pull the little black dragon's wings: "Let me think of a solution."
[This incarnation is incomplete. Unless you go down in person, it is just a corpse. If the black mud is allowed to change into its original appearance and only communicate with the listeners through the oracle, they will not find anything wrong at all - let go Drive me~] The stupid system flapped its wings.
"If you want me to continue to use the appearance of that mummy old lady, there's no way." I squeezed the wings of the stupid system and threw it out: "Although it's awkward, this identity can still be used."
Forget it, the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim still needs the Night Mother, otherwise it will definitely cause a big leak. I shook my head and started to let the black mud gradually change into shape.
"This is their last hiding place!" "We have to clean up these rats!" "Ha, 'Dark Brotherhood', you will soon be reduced to ashes together with your 'Night Mother'!"
During this period, the merchants' mercenaries had entered the last refuge, and the Brotherhood members immediately began to resist desperately.
"Ganag, Andronika! Take the Night Mother and go first! I can guarantee that these greedy jackals can't catch up with you!" After finishing the transformation, I could hear the fierce fighting outside even in the iron coffin. , and the voice of a contemporary listener came from the nearest position outside.
While the strategy was sound, I didn't want to be knocked down and carted away.
[Alissan Dapney. 】I call the listener outside. This method is completely impossible to have the problem of voice inconsistency. The receiver can clearly understand where it comes from. In other words, even if they don’t know what the voice Mephala used before, what the incarnation said There is no doubt that it is the order of the Night Mother.
"...Mother?" The listener's instructions suddenly paused, and then he approached the iron coffin.
[Open my coffin. 】I continued, although I am a little allergic to the name mother, it is not the time to worry about it.
"But, mother."
【immediately. 】
"Yes, I will follow your instructions."
Creaking - the iron coffin was opened, and the few people watching outside looked dumbfounded.
Ganag and Andronika have the same round face and fiery red hair, and they are twins at first glance, while the listener Alisan Dapney has wavy brown hair, but her appearance is so ordinary that she can't find an adjective for the moment. ——But maybe this kind of appearance is the qualified killer.
After I stepped out, these people were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
'It seems they were sedated by me. 'I said to the stupid system.
[No matter who you are, you will be shocked when you see the mummy-like old lady transformed into a big sister with blue skin, cloth wrapped around her body, and strange tentacles on her back. 】
'Tentacles are weird! This is the shape of a soul healer, and the wings are those of the angels in higher heaven! '
[I'm not interested in swiping games - they're just corpses anyway, it's up to you. 】
"Mother, mother?" The listener and the other remaining brotherhood members looked in disbelief. Even if the invading mercenaries came in, they just looked at it blankly and ignored it.
"Holy Spirit, what kind of monster is that?" "Could it be the legendary Night Mother?" "Didn't you say it was just a lie?" "It's quite beautiful..."
【Save him alive. 】I raised my finger and pointed at the mercenary who spoke last, and the wings behind my back suddenly glowed with blue light.
After the light dissipated, all the Brotherhood members who died in the previous defensive battle appeared around the invaders in a blue, transparent form, and then blood splattered everywhere.
[Wow, the Holy Mother killed someone——] The stupid system is screaming there.
'I said it's not the Holy Mother - forget it. '
[Give you the power to 'summon shadow assassins'. In addition, go to the sanctuary in Skyrim Province as soon as possible. ] I said to the listener, then turned around, walked back to the iron coffin, and slammed the coffin door.
As I left this special incarnation, she folded her hands in front of her, and the wings made of white light bound and blocked her. Even if it was opened again, only a cocoon could be seen.
[What’s the point of doing this? 】
"This way, the entire branch of the Dark Brotherhood is under my control, and there is absolutely no chance of any accidents, huh."
【hope so. 】
