Chapter 235: Midnight and the Princess
My name is Akatosh,
I finally met Sister A.
β4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 3rd, 22:17 -
"Hmmm......"
I opened my eyes, stared blankly at the dilapidated ceiling for a moment, then sat up and looked around.
It wasn't a warm inn room in the Naki Woods, but a leaky, dilapidated wooden hut that had apparently just been woken up from the cold.
The bed was topped with fur sheets made of various animal skins, the quilt was made of the same material, and my luggage was placed on a low cabinet next to the bed, and my handsome ebony armor was worn on the human-shaped armor stand next to the cabinet.
In addition, the hut also has a lot of old and clean furniture and furnishings, and the fire pit is small, but the heat it emits is barely enough to sleep in the house for those who are more hardy or accustomed to the temperature.
On the other side of the wall of the hut, opposite the bed, there was a man with a black hood tied to a chair, and judging by her old-fashioned and patched gray cloth dress, she was supposed to be an old lady with little money.
Outside the hut there was the sound of the river crashing and the roar of some beasts, sounding like a house near the river and far from the town.
After looking around and finding no one, I quickly jumped out of bed to put on the armor, after all, it was cold and insecure to wear only a nightdress.
In the process, the tied lady seemed to hear the movement and began to struggle, constantly shouting "Is there anyone?" "I don't have any money, you've tied up the wrong person!"
"What an interesting reaction, it seems that you 'Shino Scholars' only believe in your own power." As I put on my armor, a low, soft female voice rang out behind me.
"Who?" I drew my sword and turned towards the place where the voice had come from, a sturdy wardrobe, above which a woman in a white coat and white hood stood.
"Not checking your package means that you don't care about your belongings, and you don't know what happened to the kidnapper, which means that you won't show unnecessary sympathy," the woman continued, "and the fact that you didn't attack rashly after seeing me proves that you are smart enough, then, the question now is, what exactly did you do to kill Guiluo?" β
"Hmm...... For the sake of justice? I replied as I stared at the woman who couldn't see her face under the white gown.
"We all know that this sentence is meaningless," the woman's tone was unwavering: "There is only good and evil, order and chaos in this world, and justice?" Whose justice? The justice of the Cloak of Storms is to restore the glory of Talos, and the justice of the Imperial Legion is to quell the rebellion in Skyrim. β
"Whichever side I join, which side is justice." I replied.
"Very well, 'I am justice', it seems that we can continue the conversation," the white-robed woman jumped from the top of the closet and glided down beside the tied lady, "You killed our original target, Kindness Guiluo, so you have to complete another mission for us, but for the sake of convenience, the target has been brought to you, and all you need to do is dispose of her as you wish." β
The "target", who was still struggling and shouting, became silent as soon as the woman in white approached, and she could even be seen trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she knew that this person was completely incapable of fighting.
"Ali Quintus, a Nord," the woman in white shuddered at the mere name of the "target", "A tailor who lives in Stormhelm City disowned her young son because he married a dark elf, but then stole their half-elf child from his home, and then used her connections to drive the couple out of Stormhelm City, and the contract to assassinate her was provided by the female dark elf." β
"That Bichi ......," the tied woman whispered through gritted teeth.
"Is it really the way I want it to be? After you deliberately said this, if she went back alive, wouldn't the two of them be dead? I put away my sword and looked at the white-robed woman.
"Among our goals, she is the only one who is very similar to Gui Luo in all aspects, make a choice." The white-robed woman avoided answering.
"I guess the client just needs to make her disappear, and he doesn't mean to see the body." I walked over and pressed my hand on the target's shoulder, and a spatial rift appeared behind her, and the tailor only spat out a "no" and was instantly sucked in, and the crack closed.
"It's a portal to [Atayum], and no one without magical talent can leave," I looked at the white-robed woman, "It's no different from killing directly, right?" β
"At least for the client," said the white-robed woman, noncommittal, as she walked to the door of the hut and unlocked it, pushing it open, "My name is Astrade, and you have been qualified to join us, and when you have decided, come to me at the sanctuary near Phocles, with the code 'Silence'βyou will know what it is for." β
After Astrid had been away for a while, I picked up my package and pushed the door open and left to head back to the inn in Neki Grove.
ββ22:53ββ
[It's so good~Papapa~] The stupid system said exaggeratedly.
That's why I don't allow you to make a sound, because if you accidentally leak an expression that wants to punch someone, it will make her misevaluate me. I threw my luggage back into the hotel bed: 'Anyway, she shouldn't have found out about Jeanne Darch and Zela Pesh, right?' After all, this teleportation technique is too similar. β
[Aren't you set it up? The 'Shino Scholar' also learned the teleportation spell from the Order of 'Atayum', but it can only be teleported in one direction, unless there are members of the Brotherhood among the few people you take to teleport, otherwise it will not be discovered, although the Mage Academy is not as good as before, but it is not easy to be infiltrated by spies. γ
'Hmm...... Although the mage vest can still wave at will, this one can't, and from then on, it can only appear in different places at the normal travel speed, but the advantage is that it will be very easy to save the goal of the Dark Brotherhood. β
[Speaking of which, Arthur can fly, you can teleport, only Emile is more miserable and has to take a carriage or walk-]
[Hint: Emilia Septin begins to seize control of "Midnight.] γ
Wait a minute?!
Prompting my sister to prompt so abruptly last time, it was the news that Arthur had turned into a dragon, what beast form evolved into a dragon form, what is it this time-
The screen that opened in front of my eyes showed that in the stables of the Neki Grove Inn, Amile was touching the head of a black horse with his feet.
"Hey, that's not our goal, we're going to get to Stormhelm as soon as possible, I thought you remembered." Xiao Fu said in a low voice.
ββ¦β¦ Just for a moment. Amir rubbed the big black horse's head, and the other party didn't mean to kick anyone.
And from my point of view, the horse is changing ownership at a not-so-slow pace.
'Why are they two here?' And the horse...... Oh yes, Cicero went'
[Astrid was so annoyed by Cicero that he simply rode the Shadow Nightmare to you. γ
'How did I know it would be like this?' Cicero, who can't hear the Night Mother's voice, is an eccentric clown, but Cicero, who hears the Night Mother's voice, is a crazy clown, and anyone who talks to him after a few words will wonder why they made the decision to talk to him. β
What about yourself? Her Highness the Night Mother? γ
'I'm okay...... Get used to it. β
[As for Emile and Xiao Fu, they were probably annoyed by Esgael Snowhoof, and Emile himself shouldn't have cared, but Xiao Fu felt the same way because he had been treated like this by Delvin, so he pulled her out to carry out the mission. γ
'Hmm...... So two people with different speeds collided with me? β
[Astod was busy playing handsome in that hut before, and is still asking the innkeeper about you, so he probably didn't think that anyone would fight the ghost horse.] The stupid system pops up again with a glass of honey and talking to the landlady of the "Forest Webbing" inn.
'It's okay for that horse to be taken away by Amir, she's always had a lack of transportation, and the horse has some kind of spatial ability. β
For the details of Sister A's arrest, I have always been very skeptical, even if it is a system setting, you have to pay attention to reasonableness, the player chooses an orc, the height and weight are all the largest, and then a heavy dragon bone armor, how is Sister A going to kidnap him?
The mystery was solved when she came to catch me who was pretending to be asleep, and the black, immortal, battle-like Nightmare Mount was able to spew out a large cloud of black mist that swept me away along with my armor and luggage, and it was a space similar to the Oblivion Realm, but it was so small that the horse could collect or release many things at Astrade's command, but it was unable to pick and place each of them individually.
[Hint: Emilia Septin has managed to seize control of "Midnight".] γ
"Boom-" The dark horse, who had only been passively touched, suddenly barked twice, and then lowered his head and rubbed it in the palm of Amir's hand.
ββ¦β¦ Success, come. Emile put his arm around the horse's neck, then rolled over and mounted on the horse.
"Not to mention your means of controlling magical creatures, you're also very good at riding, huh? What did you do before? The little annoyance also climbed on the horse's back, and because of its strong physique, it was no problem to sit on the two little girls.
ββ¦β¦ Imperial princess, drive. Without a bridle, Amir ripped Midnight's mane.
"I'm still the Holy Spiritβso fast?!" The dark horse suddenly accelerated, almost throwing the little annoyance off.
Astrid, who seemed to sense something, hurried out of the inn, but only saw the back of the dark horse that had disappeared.
[Sister A lost her horse, but she knew that it was not a blessing]
'Shut up if you can't speak!' β
