I have to admit that the good fortune of a new pioneer officer is as much as his bad luck.

"Hmm...... Let's try this?" Hadava casually turned the rune circle on the giant door, matching the thousands of ancient Nold carvings one by one.

After Governor Regie ordered a spell bombardment for half an hour to no avail. The task of opening the door was entrusted to His Excellency the Pioneer Officer. Fortunately, although the previous spell bombardment could not destroy this door with a strange material, it was still quite effective against the trap near the gate, and Hadava didn't have to worry about being stabbed through by the spear that suddenly appeared.

'Click' dragon claws turned, then ...... Stuck without accident.

"Isn't that okay......" He scratched his head in exasperation, almost trying to break the ebony dragon claw in his hand!

- It is said that the dragon's claw hides the way to open the secret door, but God knows what those ghost talismans on it represent? It's not Old Arnold, it's not Old Elf, even the smartest person has to scratch the blind when facing a question that can't even read words!

"Hadava, hurry up!" Governor Reggi's urging voice came from behind.

Why don't you come by yourself! You have the ability to kick this door open! Hadava whispered secretly, but the words became—

"Right away! I'll try again!"

The vanguard lamented his lost integrity as he peeked at the movement around him.

I don't know what kind of ancient Nordic custom it is, but the interior of the temple is surprisingly large, and the surrounding walls are full of murals depicting the heroic battles of ancient Nord heroes, although some of them have been blackened by braziers, but you can still feel the desolate aura that comes on your face.

Beneath the frescoes were a number of burial urns of various sizes, most of which contained ancient gold coins and precious stones—though they were now mostly in the pockets of some non-commissioned officers—and the minions had been largely sent to clean up the remnants of the rebels on the periphery. However, the Imperial Legion did not object to its subordinates making some extra money while fighting, and even the highest-ranking Governor Regie only turned a blind eye.

And beyond that, there were probably hundreds of black coffins, and out of respect for the deceased, few people touched them - except for someone......

What does this guy want to do with a dagger on that coffin!?Lettering!?Lilis?

There was a nameless fire in Hadawa's heart, you adjutant don't respect the chief, don't come to share my worries. After all, it's understandable that girls are angry. But you're going to get down to business!

He angrily turned the runes on the giant door, and then struck the dragon claw with a force, and the huge torque almost spun the ebony claw ninety degrees!

"Huh?"

Didn't get stuck!?

Hadava stared dumbfounded at the rapidly rotating group of runes on the giant gate, and when the central axis all pointed to a dragon-shaped rune, a deafening roar was heard throughout the temple.

'Vortex Vortex Vortex ——————'

The whole gate sinks slowly, and Hadawa, who is standing at the front, can even get a glimpse of the darkness behind the door!

"Well done, isn't it? Even if you can't hear clearly, you can tell by looking at the shape of your mouth that this is a compliment from Governor Ricky.

'Phew!'

Something seems to be ringing?

'Woo!'Woo!'Woo!'Woo!'Woo!'Woo!''Woo!'

Hadawa's pupils gradually narrowed.

"Ghoul !!"

It was as if it were a signal, and hundreds of black coffins exploded in unison! With a terrifying howl coming from it, ominous creatures wielding ancient weapons awoke one after another, slashing their swords at the unsuspecting Imperial warriors.

"As, Dillon!" An Imperial non-commissioned officer stunned by these nightmarish creatures was split in half by a giant axe and human armor, and the hot and humid blood even splashed Governor Ricky's body!

"Kill them!" The blood ignited the Nord woman's anger, and the sword in her hand nearly split the ghoul in two!

The battle was not confined to this temple, the entire ruins of Kovan Jond seemed to have awakened from its slumber. Hundreds of draugr emerged from the coffin, trying to drag the Imperial legions to their deaths. But there was no shortage of warriors in the legion, and the brutal fighting and blood and broken limbs filled the entire ancient ruins.

Hadawa also played an important role in this.

After severing the necks of five ghouls with his own hands, Hadava was convinced that he was stronger than he had been in Helgen. Sure enough, the battle between life and death is the shortcut to a samurai's growth? He looked around, but he didn't see the lieutenant who was supposed to be stronger than himself.

The woman...... Where's gone? Her words should be fine......

Hadava thought so, and then he saw a draugr with a horned helmet peeking out of his back...... This is a good opportunity. He licked his lips.

…………

Lilith clings to the ceiling, and with the help of a steel wire, she can move quickly and silently on any terrain.

It's really like a spider. It's no wonder that even her comrades-in-arms have turned away from her. Although she didn't expect it, she just looked forward to it.

She had set her course before the ghouls woke up, and now she was deeper in the depths of Covanjond. Alone. No one else got in the way.

In this way, some forces that are not convenient on weekdays can also be used unscrupulously. A dim magical energy enveloped Lilith's body in two breaths. Her form faded and eventually became transparent, as if blended into the wall, and could no longer be noticed.

Illusion is not very popular in the martial skyrim. Because the only people who usually use this kind of wounding invisible power are assassins and thieves, except for the more unpopular wizards of Winterhold.

It's a pity that Lilith happens to be one of them.

The target is a group of ghouls.

Awakened by the activation of the trap, they search around with sharp Gounod weapons - they are awakened by the trap and ordered to kill a living creature. And these ancient walking corpses who still have a certain level of intelligence can also understand this command.

But when there are no enemies, they just spin around like headless flies.

Four wires silently slice through the back of the head of a wall ghoul, and Lilith caught the Gounod sword that was about to fall to the ground.

Stand up for a stab. The sharpened blade plunged into the back of the other ghoul.

The uneven blade of the sword, even the sound of cutting a dried corpse cannot be eliminated by technology. But by the time the remaining ghouls were aware of it, a rapidly sliding steel wire had swept past their necks.

'Pap' 'Pap'

The head with the leather helmet fell to the ground with two soft thuds.

It's really a no-brainer.

The thrill of devouring life makes people obsessed with this feeling, so Lilith prefers to confuse her enemies with illusions and cut them with a tightrope. The dagger at the waist will not be lightly unsheathed unless it is necessary.

She took a brief look at her surroundings and quickly matched them with a map in her mind. It's almost like walking through the back garden, passing through several stone chambers in a row. It didn't stop until it was in front of a relatively large three-story cloister structure.

One, two, three...... There are fifteen ghouls moving through different corridors. There are even high-level ghouls wearing high-horned helmets!

Well, illusion.

Ten minutes later, a sharp cut from the ceiling split the last remaining ghoul into two equal portions.

No matter how strong it was in life, the inside bar not long ago was enough to consume most of its combat power.

Lilith crossed the wreckage on the ground and came to an inconspicuous altar. In the center of the altar, there is a small recess. Probably the Cheng dù that holds a dagger.

So she checked the dagger on her body.

'Huh-' Before her strength was exhausted, there was a sharp sound of metal grinding around her!

- The trap has been activated!

But Lilith didn't seem to hear it, and she wasn't moved in the slightest.

[Dark Brotherhood Precept 5: Never kill any Dark Brother or Dark Sister.] Otherwise, it will awaken the wrath of Cidis. 】

Hundreds of sharp steel spears pierced from the ground within a radius of tens of meters! Even after hundreds of years, they still reflected a faint blue color that represented poison. They were enough to kill anyone who tried to flee here, even the most senior Assassins.

But Li Li was unharmed.

Because all the steel spears avoided her, or perhaps none of them stabbed at all. Because before the altar, it is safe.

Cannibalism is not allowed in the Brotherhood, as long as there is trust.

She pulled out her dagger. The altar in front of him immediately split into two halves, revealing a corridor that could be passed by a single person.

According to the Brotherhood's internal secret records, an old Assassin chose to sleep here hundreds of years ago. And his inheritance is also hidden here, just waiting for someone with enough qualifications to claim it. - If it weren't for the fact that the dense scroll had been slightly damaged due to poor maintenance, it would have lost the information about the entrance passage. She didn't have to wait for Hadava to open the giant gate.

But that didn't matter, at least now that she's done that.

Lilith saluted silently to the remains of the ancient Assassin sleeping at the end of the tunnel. Subsequently, she opened the Legacy Chest.

It was a whole set of ancient masking suits. It was also the first official fraternity uniform that Lilith would ever obtain. It has real power, not the kind of goods that the Brotherhood now gives to low-level assassins.

Who would have thought that the Dark Brotherhood, once known as Tamriel, was in decline, and even the largest of the Skyrim chapters were so embarrassed that they could only give low-level members unenchanted suits. And the high-ranking members also have to consume the inheritance of their ancestors.

However, this qiē has nothing to do with Li Lisi for the time being. It wasn't something she needed to think about. Moreover, she has more pressing things to face.

Deeper in the ruins she didn't know, a majestic body with a crown on its head was sleeping on the throne, its closed eyes faintly glowing with blue.
