My name is Akatosh,
I'm putting finishing touches on various things.
——4e, 200 years, Hearth Moon, 9th, 14:31——
At this point in time of the 200th year of the Fourth Era, I was quite busy, because many people's "misfortunes" happened in this year. For example, an old lady's husband died accidentally while going out to collect medicine, and a certain person who was carrying refined void salt The freight convoy was attacked by trolls, a certain mine in the Reach fiefdom was slaughtered by the slain, and many other "side missions" were waiting for my intervention.
The calendar in the Elder Scrolls world is very strange. They clearly use Arabic numerals to record years and dates, but they refuse to record months in the same way. Instead, they record some common activities or scenes in that month, such as February, July and November are called the sunrise, sunheight and sunset months respectively based on the average height of the sun, while March, May and August are called the first, second and last planting months based on farming practices. The months of January and December seemed to be named Morning Star and Starry Night because the nights were too long. The rain in April and the frost in October made me suspect that compatriots were mixed into the production team.
Well...except for the "middle of the year" in June, which has no technical content at all, the most special month is the "fire" in September. After the "last planting" ends and before the "frost", most people will sit in the warmth There was nothing to do by the fire, but this supposedly peaceful month became the starting date for many troublesome events in history. To put it simply, it was idle.
On the 9th of the Hearthfire Month, I went to the northeast of Interprovince as planned, to Windhelm City, the home of the Stormcloaks.
This is a huge city like a fortress. All the houses are built of solid stone. There are no wooden buildings at all. It is divided into the royal palace area, the noble area, the civilian area and the gray area. They are separated from each other. The passages are all twists and turns, stone wall passages that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if they are attacked from the outside, the enemy will have to break through at least two "fortresses" to reach the palace of the kings where Ulfric Stormcloak is located. ).
As the names suggest, the Noble District and the Common District are where Nords of relevant status live, while the Gray District is a unique specialty in the entire world. All the "non-Nords" in Windhelm City live there, and its residents include other provinces in the empire. people and various elves, while Khajiits and Argonians are completely prohibited from entering the city.
Laowu is obviously a Nord supremacist. Since his banner is "restoring the glory of Talos", this behavior obviously gained him the support of most Nords.
However, for me who was heading to the Gray Zone, it was more or less troublesome.
"Hey! Girl, this is not a place for people like you." Two glib guys blocked the way in a corridor.
Rolf Stonefist and Angeleno, the latter is just a bartender in a tavern in the Gray Zone and a Breton, while the former is a Nord who is related to the Stormcloak general Galmar Stonefist. ——After turning many corners.
"I'm looking for Callisto Cream. Get out of the way." I said in Sakamoto Maaya's voice.
【Hahahahahaha! 】
'you shut up! No laughing! '
[Although that guy’s target is a ‘blonde beautiful girl’, she is probably not the only one with this appearance. 】
'It's a pity that there are too many twintails and saber is not suitable. '
"Hey, it's quite fierce," Rolf said with a crooked mouth: "I have to tell you, the dark elves in the Gray Zone are all criminals. If they find the lonely rich lady, there's no telling what they will do, so You’d better hire our brothers—”
"If you don't want to offend the Broken Shield Family, it's best to disappear immediately." A proud female voice came from behind, and the two guys in front of them turned around and ran away as soon as they heard it.
"Frigga Broken Shield, it seems that you have also heard of Callisto's reputation?" Turning around, I saw a tall woman with bright blond hair reaching out to me.
"Jeanne Darc," I shook hands with her: "Yes, I have a strange magic book that I want to ask him to identify."
The Broken Shield Family, the Cool Sea Family, and the Stone Fist Family are the more influential families in Windhelm City. Although the Cool Sea Family, which is good at sailing, has declined due to the war with the Empire, the other two families have risen strongly during the war, and As the eldest daughter of her family, Frigga Brokenshield became famous in Windhelm City for her beautiful appearance and strong skills. She even moved out of the main house and purchased her own villa "Hailim" - this is the same thing It is also the beginning of tragedy.
Based on the architectural style of Windhelm City, where every inch of land is at a premium, it is naturally impossible to build another property out of thin air. Therefore, "Hailim" is a villa that originally had an owner, but it was just a villa that was eager to sell due to an accident. Frigga purchased it After entering the property, the "surprise" was soon discovered - an altar arranged in a hidden room and a discarded magic book.
It is an evil magic that sacrifices the soul of a living person to a powerful being and thereby obtains its gifts and even summons the true body. The previous owner of the villa could not understand the magic book at all, so he accidentally opened the communication without a sacrifice. Passage, frightened by the appearance of "that existence", he hurriedly sold his house and fled.
Frigga naturally couldn't understand it, but she knew that there was a mage in Windhelm who could understand it, the owner of the "House of Legends" who acquired and appraised various strange items, Callisto Krim, so she brought him Writing a book to come here for identification may be out of pure curiosity, or she may be hoping that there is some magic in it that can help her family.
Unfortunately, the only thing that can be related to her is the sacrifice rule "On five specific dates, sacrifice five blond girls in succession to obtain the Necromancer inheritance", and Callisto is a The mage who was expelled from Winterhold for studying necromancy was one of the limited contents in the magic book that he could understand.
Of course, I could just beat this "butcher" to death, or throw him into the realm of annihilation, but as I said a long time ago, it would be logically unreasonable to deliberately guide the crime that is about to happen on its original path. Yes, there is a saying called "If you don't teach, you will punish those who abuse them." Although it is not quite accurate, it probably means this.
And what I want to give him for appraisal is the "Luoyan City Textbook".
【Hahahahahaha! 】
I found that wing-pulling had no effect on this stupid system, and I considered whether to start pulling out teeth.
[Joan of Arc is holding Marshal C’s Noble Phantasm, hahaha! 】
'Shut up! '
"So, sister Dark, this book of yours is used to summon evil gods?" Frigga asked in surprise.
"Based on the scene, it should be Boethea." I flipped through the textbook in my hand: "The host of the ceremony refused to admit guilt, and none of us 'Hino Scholars' could understand this thing, so I was sent to find him to translate. as evidence.”
Since the Broken Shield eldest sister is very interested in mysticism and magic, my identity as a "Sino Scholar" was quickly recognized by her. Of course, this is not a lie. Those guys from the Sino Scholars Group really gave me some peace of mind. received the title of honorary scholar.
For aristocratic sisters who have no magic qualifications but are interested in magic, most of them will give up this hobby after getting married, and some will go astray like Frigga and become victims of evil wizards. Only by truly finding a way to learn magic and Only the lucky few who have a good teacher can successfully become a magic apprentice.
"I think your book has a lot of similarities with mine." When she was about to reach the door of Callisto's shop, the House of Legends, Frigga stopped and opened the book she had packed in her backpack. Show me the books in.
Of course they are similar. After all, they are all used to summon tentacle monsters. I took a look at the magic book with a thick green cover. This is a book of darkness written by the demon god of knowledge, Hermaeus Mora. Magic Sutra].
Generally speaking, this book will stretch out its tentacles and capture anyone who reads it into Mora's "Apotheosis" annihilation realm. After completing some strange trials, they will receive corresponding rewards. Obviously, the original world is blocked online. It was through this behavior that Listo became the "Butcher", but now if Mora really dares to stretch out his tentacles, I can catch him by the tentacles, so this book has now become a book filled with weird words. There is a strange book that is completely unreadable, and its only function is to make sacrifices.
"For the sake of the reputation of the Broken Shield family, it is best to tell this Callisto that both books are mine, and of course I will share them with you after the translation is completed." I suggested to Frigga.
"Hmm... ok," Frigga thought, "Do you want to come and stay at my house?"
"No, if I live with you, this cover-up will be meaningless. I will live in the Candleforge Inn, next to Captain Lone Wind. You can come to me later." I shook my head and answered.
Frigga nodded and opened the door of the "House of Legends" magic item shop.
——20:41——
A large banquet is being held on the second floor of Candleforge. The participants include Frigga Brokenshield, Jody Coolsea, the naughty host Susanna, the merchant Avalia who is very passionate about horses, and me. Although there are some bragging Suspicious, but everyone here is a beautiful girl with golden hair.
"To our beautiful blond hair~" Frigga raised her glass and tried to take the initiative.
"Honor our beautiful jewelry~" Jodi, who is also the eldest daughter of the family, was naturally not to be outdone.
Susanna and Avalia obviously didn't intend to get involved in this dispute, so the two drunk girls turned to me.
"Well..." I felt the five stabbings in the back by Callisto when I went to get the text translation not long ago, and raised my glass: "I wish you all the best to meet here."
I hope that the guy who still decides to become a "butcher" to sacrifice after understanding everything will have fun in Sheogorath's Annihilation Realm. As for me, I will use this image to register at the Mage Academy after finishing various branches.
