My name is Akatosh,
That guy Sanjian actually forced his way back.
——4E, 201, Hearth Moon, 14th, 18:45——
I am standing on the roof of the embassy, looking at representatives from all walks of life with intricate relationships below me.
The reason why the defense of this embassy is completely a sieve refers not only to the Thieves Guild team who sneaked in and Mercer Frey who sneaked in in disguise, but also to the bartender Maburn who belongs to the Blade Warriors, and the previous owner of [Bloody Rose] Moira, plus the uninvited Thalmor envoy Rulindil and his assassin Sugil, as for Sam Guiwne and me, are outside the discussion and have no value for discussion-no, the former is still worthy of discussion Let’s discuss it.
This person with a silly name is the incarnation of the god of carnival [Sanguine]. He usually takes the appearance of an old mage and often appears at banquets, celebrations and major ceremonies, and has only one purpose: to select the right person. And get drunk to see if the other party is qualified to possess the [Bloody Rose].
[Bloody Rose] is the most special of all the demonic artifacts known so far. While other demons are eager to give their demonic artifacts "immortal" properties, this demonic artifact itself is a "consumable". It will gradually "wither" like a real rose in the hands of the current user, and at the same time, it will "bloom" in Sanjian's realm of one hundred thousand annihilations.
Its specific effect is: summon a demon lord from the realm of annihilation to assist him in a short period of time. This "assistance" includes but is not limited to combat, and the specific content can be directly limited when summoning.
However, this magical weapon has a fatal weakness. If no one uses it many times to make it "wither", even Sanjian himself cannot recover it - after receiving this weapon, there is a rose carved on the top. After the flower, the ugly-looking staff, Ambassador Alan Wen had never touched it at all.
To this end, Sanjian took a two-pronged approach. Not only did he incarnate and trick Lulindil into borrowing the staff, he also contacted its previous owner, the harpy witch Moira. She had tasted the benefits before and was naturally willing to own it again. This magical weapon.
However, there is an unexpected situation here. Lulindil, the Thalmor envoy, was originally sent to Rift Valley City. Obviously, Marwen Blackthorn would not buy his account and gave him a considerable degree of embarrassment. Normally, He couldn't think of this lady, but now she actually appeared in Dugu City and was invited to attend Alan Wen's cocktail party, so he probably thought that the time had come, so he sent his men to assassinate the unlucky Sujier.
I have to say that his plan to disguise himself as a groom and drive a black thorn carriage to deliberately lose control and fall into a deep ravine was a good one. After all, Marwen was just an old lady with powerful skills, not a powerful warrior or magician, and it was disguised as an accident. This can also avoid possible revenge from the Blackthorn family.
Then, under the influence of the [Corrupted Skull] I got from Valmina, he dreamed of successfully throwing Mawen into the valley, and sent her all the way to her destination.
...Although it was me who was thrown.
The foreman of the reception, Maburn, was affiliated with the Blade Warriors and was sent to collect intelligence on the Thalmor's movements. He was a rather...well, neurotic person. It was he who spread the news that "Thalmor requested the Empire to ban and execute all Blade Warriors, and The emperor showed signs of consent." This very misleading information led Delphine to lurk and Isborne to live in seclusion. Although Delphine quickly obtained the correct information, the unlucky Isborne remained in hiding until not long after. He was released by Esgaier before by smashing the wall.
He didn't notice Mercer Frey disguised as Lazeran, nor did he notice the Thieves Guild team sneaking in to observe secretly, but he successfully stared at Moira who also sneaked in, or rather, her disguised identity, the musician. "Ildi".
And "Ildi" noticed that after "Lazelan" disappeared, she also walked towards the residential area behind the embassy without leaving a trace. Naturally, this was discovered by Maburn, who had been paying attention to her, so he handed over his work and followed quietly. .
So far, Alanwen has been paying attention to Esgail Snowhoof, fake princess Eddie, Marwen Blackthorn and other nobles, completely unaware that her Alanwen light is about to become a battlefield for a secret war.
Therefore, the defense strength of this embassy is completely a sieve.
'Although the purpose of most people is very clear, I'm not sure what Mercer is here for. If this guy wants to obtain Emile's 'god-killing power', he should focus on the fake princess. '
I asked the stupid system as I watched a group of people rush to the treasure room where the [Bloody Rose] was stored in batches without noticing each other.
[Well... As you know, "Bloody Rose" can summon a demon king, but since it is a "king", of course it will not be a barbarian who only knows how to kill people. If it requires a "monster" to appear when using it, A great king who is proficient in human control", there is no problem at all. 】
Oh... So Mercer feels that he lacks confidence in obtaining "methods" or "props" from the princess, and wants to use [Bloody Rose] to get help? After all, [Azura Star] and [Skull Key] have not improved their own combat effectiveness at all.
but……
'Isn't it good to be alive? '
The lessons learned from Duneville and Valmina are still there. Judging from the situation where Arthur and Emil were affected, any magic targeting the soul and mind is completely ineffective against these incarnations.
[But what he has to deal with is Addie Septim. Judging from the current situation, she is the princess. 】
'...Come on, I'm optimistic about you. 'I turned to pay attention to other people besides Mercer who had ideas about Bloody Rose.
——18:55——
Below the Alanwen's Light residential area is a multi-functional underground building. Its main uses include a treasure room, archives and secret prison. It is used to store treasures obtained in Skyrim, compile intelligence and files from major cities, and imprison certain individuals. These inconveniences were handed over to the "prisoners" in Dugu City.
Although this setting may lead to ridiculous events such as "the prisoner escaped with the treasure and secret information," it seems that Alan Wen has no intention of changing his approach until it actually happens.
"You damn Thalmor elves! I will never let you go after I get out!"
Lulindil and Sugil greeted the basement guards and walked down. As they passed by the prison, hoarse yells came from inside.
"Ignore it," Rulindil motioned to Sugil, who was hesitant to move forward: "That guy betrayed Ulfric Stormcloak, tried to bargain with the Imperial Legion when there was no use value, and made rude remarks. He should have been beheaded. It was shown to the public, but because Her Royal Highness the Princess was keen on rescuing people, she was eventually handed over to us for processing - so even if he goes out, he will only be detained in a different place. If he is captured by the Stormcloak spies and brought back to Windhelm City, haha."
"Sir, what is the password?" Sujier nodded and ignored it. He walked to the door of the treasure room, then looked at the weird text lock and asked.
"'Alanwen's Light'," Lulindil said: "If you still want to save your life, don't take anything except the staff after entering."
"Hahaha, thank you~" Just when Sujier transferred the correct password, a burst of blazing thunder directly blew him away, and he hit the wall far away. At the same time, a man wearing azure feathers A tall woman wearing a robe and completely covered with horny bird claws from the knees down appeared at the door and opened the door with a big smile.
"Harpy Witch! Do you want to be an enemy of Thalmor?" Lulindil reacted very quickly and cast a spell, covering himself with a layer of iron armor: "Stop now, I can pretend that you have never been here."
"You said one thing wrong," the harpy turned around and smiled coldly: "I am the 'Harpy Thunder Witch'."
After that, she directly threw a bright white lightning ball without any casting action. After it touched the basement wall, it did not explode directly but rebounded. After passing by Lulindil, who was not expecting this, When he was next to him, the electric arc wrapped around him directly knocked him to the ground.
When facing a mage, using armor that cannot resist magic...well, the defeat is not unfair.
"Haha," Moira, the harpy thunder witch, did not kill all the Thalmor masters and servants who were obviously not dead. She opened the door and walked into the treasure room: "Such a useful treasure was stolen by that ignorant guy Alan Wen. If you abandon it casually in a place like this, it would be better to return it to my previous owner."
“That’s right——” A black light flashed, and a large piece of Moira’s feather robe was chopped into pieces. The flying feathers flashed with lightning, but they did not actually hit the body: “——I thought so too. "
"Foreman? Haha, it seems you don't plan to stay in the embassy anymore?" Moira calmly filled the gap with feathers from other parts, and turned around to confront Maburn.
"Ah... I originally planned to steal some information or rescue that grumpy guy, but now it seems that a magic artifact is acceptable." Mabourne was no longer the polite and elegant person he was when serving wine to the nobles on a tray. The short stature holding the sword and preparing to strike made Moira afraid to make any move at all.
"Before you decide the winner, I will keep this thing for safekeeping," a third voice appeared, but it was in front of the staff stand in the treasure room. Sam Guiwen appeared from the invisible state and directly He pulled out the dark red staff with a rose carved on the top and raised it high: "I want to summon the 'Devil King who is not afraid of swords and thunder and lightning'!"
Following his words, a demon king wearing heavy demon armor, with thunder and lightning wrapped around his body, stepped out of the void.
"What a misstep." Mabourne and Moira moved away from each other, and then faced the big king together: "I thought you were just a fake noble who was eating and drinking."
What is this guy Sanjian doing? His incarnation cannot use the demonic artifacts in the world of Nirn at all. What's the point of directly summoning the Demon King with his own power and then pretending to summon it with a staff?
[Wow...he looks a bit like you, Akatosh. 】
'What do you mean...ugh! '
puff--
Mercer Frey, disguised as Razelan, appeared behind Sam Guiwen. With a slight penetration sound, a long blood-stained dagger came out from the old mage's chest. The heavy-armored lightning king monster that appeared before Smiling and disappearing into the void.
Cruel enough... Sangjian does not have the privilege of immortality like me. This incarnation gives up just as it says, which only proves that the goal he wants to achieve is more important.
After throwing away the "corpse" of "Sam Guiwen", Mercer took the [Bloody Rose] and stabbed it with the [Skull Key] without hesitation.
Phew—all the petals on the [Bloody Rose] withered and scattered at the same time, and the staff body and Mercer also disappeared at the same time.
As those petals withered, a blood-red [Gate of Annihilation] appeared where the staff disappeared, and a large number of Demon Lords filed out from behind the door. I counted briefly, and there were four Demon Lords who were about to come out. Fifteen, exactly the same as the number of petals.
Moira and Maburn turned around and ran away without hesitation. The Thieves Guild team, who did not show up at all, even rescued the prisoner Ain Larris when they escaped.
I could only reluctantly protect the two Thalmor who were unlucky enough to faint... Tsk, were they supposed to be trampled to death?
[Mercer teleported to the main banquet hall and took the fake princess away. 】
Well, was he trying to make a scene so that Sybil Staunt couldn't track him? But it's of no use to me. If he wants to harm the princess, he's looking for his own death. Well, he's looking for his own way to Atayum.
Having said that, since releasing all the petals of the [Bloody Rose] in one breath can open the door to Sanjian's 100,000 annihilations, then I can just arrest him——
On the other side of the Gate of Annihilation, a guy who looked similar to other Demon Lords was holding a [Bloody Rose] and looked at [me] through the gate, and waved.
Sangjian? Goodbye manually?
When I was about to catch him, the last Demon Lord walked out of the Gate of Annihilation. At this moment, Sangjion disappeared completely together with the Gate of Annihilation.
[Tip: Sangjian has exited the game. 】
[Tip: Obtain the doomsday element 'Seven Deadly Sins']
[Tip: Obtain the priesthood: 'Carnival', 'Indulgence', 'Enjoyment']
...Is there such an operation?
