Mosal - Section 4

Mornings in Mosal are always foggy, especially before the first rays of sunlight have crossed the horizon, and the white fog of water vapour is particularly thick.

As a result, the humidity in the city is particularly high.

Alice hates the weather. It's gloomy and damp, and it makes it difficult to even take a big breath. It's no different from getting entangled in trouble.

In fact, she's been in trouble.

Just an hour earlier, one of Mossar's guards captain and twelve of his heavily armed guards had visited the inn where she was staying. To be precise, to visit her and Jamila for the case of the lumberyard massacre north of the city.

This is really a person sitting at home, and woe comes from heaven. It's just a very ordinary commission, but how do you know that the employer was actually killed that night?

Oh, mistakenly, the real employer, Khruga, is not dead, it is the Nord director whose name Alice does not know, and the dozen or so workers who remain inside the lumberyard. Their bodies were torn into pieces as many as three hundred, and it was estimated that it would take at least a whole day to put them together. And as the last two people to contact them, Alice and Jamila are naturally included in the list of suspicions.

The only fortunate thing is that the captain of the guard is not a stupid character, and instead of directly beckoning the guards to arrest him as soon as he opens the door, he gives Alice and Jamila a chance to defend themselves, thus avoiding a direct confrontation.

His choice was correct and wise.

Once she does, Alice doesn't care if they are genuine guards or fake thugs, they must all have been cut down. By that time, those who should have gone to Songard would go to Songard, those who should have gone to hell should have gone to annihilation, those who should have been wanted by the whole city were wanted, and in short, everyone was doomed - fortunately, that didn't happen.

After all, although the two girls are outsiders, they don't lack a pass or anything. In addition, they did not leave the hotel, and there was no bloody smell on their bodies. It would be ridiculous to list them as suspects. So after some inspection, the captain of the guard declared the innocence of the two girls.

He is an upright man. That's what Alice thought at the time.

Her perception has not changed to this day.

But......

[Why is the anxiety in my heart getting heavier and heavier? 】

She looked out the window, the hazy silhouette of the building looming in the thick fog, like a giant beast sleeping in the darkness. It can be seen faintly, but it is indistinct. Like the unknown obstacle that haunted her heart, it brought her a faint sense of crisis.

Is this being calculated?

If the feeling in my memory is not on a business trip, whenever such a disturbing omen arises in my mind, then I can almost immediately determine that there is a hidden danger in the road ahead. Cold, snowy, Loristed, every premonition is accurate. This time, however, the feeling was not as strong as before.

The heartbeat began to increase, but it was not rapid, and the blood flow gradually increased, but it was not turbulent.

So...... What's the point of such a move that is neither lethal nor hidden? If someone was really secretly manipulating, then it would be impossible for him to stand here so safely now.

[Is it really an accident?] 】

She didn't understand, she couldn't figure it out, and her mood got worse and worse.

"Why isn't there a gust of wind?"

If a strong wind blows, the fog in front of you will dissipate.

However, even if the fog in front of you can be blown away by the wind, can the fog in your heart be eliminated casually?

At this moment, a familiar voice came from her side.

"Soon it will be morning, and as soon as the sun comes out, the fog will disperse."

"Jamila." Alice turned around and looked at the Dark Elf girl who appeared in her field of vision. One of her hands held the plate on which the breakfast was placed. The other hand is pressed on the dining table.

"Why don't you try the newly baked Mosal specialty toast?" She smiled and made the offer.

Alice nodded in agreement.

………………………………………………………………

The toast tastes good, with fine flour and just the right amount of heat. More than a cut from yesterday's hostel offering peas and potatoes in the morning. But presumably the price will be more than a little more expensive.

"It's free." Jamila picked up the knife and sliced the toast in front of her very gently, then soaked it in a milk tray before putting it in her mouth. A happy look appeared on his face.

"That's how bread should be eaten."

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning, let's go as soon as we're done eating."

Hearing this explanation, the women of Sirodil immediately lowered their eyes. Focus your attention on the plate in front of you.

Again, no inn would want two people involved in a murder to stay in their property for a long time. Even if it's just a very unlikely suspicion, the impact on business is quite bad.

No one wants a murderer to live next to them, and no one wants a group of guards to rush in and fight while they are eating or partying or sleeping.

In this way, the behavior of the innkeeper is quite normal. At least he hadn't explicitly said that he was going to kick people out, but had used this subtle way to imply that the two girls were leaving.

[This is the first hotel.] 】

The hotel was full on the first day, the hotel was terrible on the second day, and the hotel on the third day is now untenable. That's bad luck. Next, it is estimated that only the cover roll can be prepared to sleep in the field.

She sighed softly.

[Why, it's always been so bad lately? 】

"It's a lot of sighs, but it's going to age fast." Jamila placed the cutlery on the empty plate in front of her, looking contented.

"I don't even know if I'm seventeen." Alice shook her head and asked, "You don't look worried at all." We're running out of places to live. ”

"Oh, that's just a few more days in the cold rock passage. Well, it was actually quite a good time. When you are sleepy, you have a place to sleep, and when you wake up, you have something to cut, which is actually quite colorful. ”

"It's really optimistic, you won't feel at ease if you don't make trouble, right?" Alice pouted and said, "You're the kind of person who walks in without changing your face knowing that there is a lion's den in front of you." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Jamila puffed up her chest and said proudly, "I prefer to call it a trial on the road of life." ”

"Well, I've fallen into the water anyway. It makes no difference whether you are bitten by a fish or frozen. The girl wiped her lips and asked, "Then what do you think of this murder?" Presumably, even if this matter doesn't affect us, you will take the initiative to bump into it. ”

"When you encounter strange things, you naturally have to get involved. Isn't that why I'm not acting with you? It seems that I was quite right, and it was only the first few days that something strange had come to my door. The dark elves crossed their fingers and propped their elbows on the edge of the table in a confident posture. And I didn't just rush to it without caring about anything, I still had to do the necessary preparations. ”

"Oh?"

"First of all, we have to determine one thing, and that is, what can we do?" Jamila didn't know where she took out a roll of paper and a quill pen, spread them out on the table, and began the list.

"First of all, I am Dan Mo of pure blood, and I can call on the wrath of the ancestors in my bloodline when I am traumatized to a certain extent." She marked the words "Ancestral Wrath" under the words "Jamila".

"That strange magic fire?" Alice held up a finger and said, "Is that the kind you used to resist Yuga's thunderstorm technique?" ”

"Uh-huh, that's right." Jamila lifted her chin proudly. "At Southam, there are no more than five of my contemporaries who can do that. It's amazing, isn't it? ”

"Indeed." Alice complimented, "It's amazing." ”

"Then let's move on." Jamila lifted her quill and continued writing. "I know how to use shields and swords, and I am proficient in the tactics of the Radoran Guard, a technique of shield and sword harmony. Within five steps, whether it's an arrow or a projected magical energy, I can block it if I see it. Not...... Rays and the like can't. ”

"And then there's the equipment. The bone armor I wore was forged from the powder of a large crab shell and the skin of a floating jellyfish, and it was tougher and stronger than steel plate armor, and much lighter. Unfortunately, there is no way to repair this thing in Skyrim, and once it is damaged, it can only be replaced. She said with some regret, and then flipped the scroll over and handed the pen to Alice.

"It's your turn."

"What are we ......?" the girl thought for a moment, then wrote her name next to Jamila's entry.

"As you can see, I am an ordinary Sirodir. Talent or something...... No. "The dragon's roar is unusable due to a wound in the throat, so the identity of the so-called dragonborn can be ignored for the time being.

"It uses a one-handed sword, using a modified version of court swordsmanship. So I'm a lot faster than the average person. ”

"Will use the destruction of miΓ¨, restore fΓΉ, change, all the three systems of the general spell below the high level. Don't look at me like that, I'm not a wizard, I don't know anything about the corresponding knowledge except for spell casting, let alone enchanting alchemy or something. ”

"As for the equipment...... There is no difference between this leather armor and cloth clothes. That is, this ring is somewhat useful. Alice looked at the ring on her left hand. "I tested it, and this regeneration ring was able to recover some injuries that weren't very serious in a short period of time. It should be able to activate three times a day. ”

"Well, that's all."

"Well......" Jamila thought for a moment, constantly judging in her heart.

"If we prepare some more long-range means, I feel that it should not take much effort to deal with two fully armed twelve-man guard teams at the same time." Jamila pondered for a moment and said, "I feel that with the strength of the two of us, there should be no problem in dealing with the slaughter. ”

"No, it's very problematic."

"Gah?"

"You've got to go buy a helmet."

PS: This section...... It should be a card under construction. Abilities that don't appear in this section don't pop up if they aren't specifically mentioned later.

PS2: The reason Jamila can't wear a ring is because she wears heavy armor, the kind with hand armor. Therefore, unless it is specially modified, all heavily armored warriors should not want to wear an enchanted ring, because their fingers cannot be tucked in.

PS3: Looking back at the previous article, I realized that I was clearly the Elder Scrolls' view of time, but I followed the path of Assassin's Creed. It's always been stealth slashing past, stealth slashing over...... The next step is to change the strategy.

PS4: It's so dizzy to write......
