Chapter 213: Rituals and Contracts
My name is Akatosh,
I'm shining - a ghost!
β4E, 201, Last Seed, 29th, 20:51 -
Originally, I was discussing the position of the Mage Academy with Tovdir in Winterhold, but I was summoned to Windhelm City halfway through, and I was forced to change my body by the way......
Forget it, the question is that although Aventus Eritino uses the Heroic Spirit Summoning Array, he doesn't have a spell in his hand, do I want to use Sakamoto Aya's voice to say "ServantΒ· Avenger, in response to the call"?
I looked at Aventus, who sat still in astonishment, and thought.
[Hahahahaha! γ
As much as I wanted to ask about the stupid system, it was laughing like a fool, and it didn't seem to be useful.
'Hint, sister? How could this little imp draw a Heroic Spirit Summoning Array? Where did the spells and relics come from? β
[Hint: The summoning array and spells used by Aventus Eretino are learned from the "Dark Sutra" written by Hermaius Mora, and the holy relic is the fragment of the "Oblivion City Textbook" used by 'Jeanne Dalc' on the 9th day of the furnace moon in the 200th year of the Fourth Era] Reminder sister is as reliable as ever.
'What the hell is this summoning condition?' No matter how you think about it, you should summon Marshal C...... Not? β
If you think about it, it seems right......
[Hahaha...... Ahem, Marshal C summoned Hei Zhen, nothing wrong...... Hahaha. γ
You'll be laughed to death.
I turned my gaze to the green book and the half-page that Aventus had left next to the magic circle.
Speaking of which, the last time I went to retrieve the textbook, I really didn't find the Dark Sutra that was brought by Frigga Shattered Shield, and even if the textbook was missing a page or two, I wouldn't notice it at all.
At that moment, I thought that since I had gone to Stormhelm City, I would save this little ghost's mother by the way, just in time for Hisoka...... I mean Cicero acts as a listener to push the Dark Brotherhood questline.
Looking at it now, it was obviously put on the hook by Mora, this time the Heroic Spirit Summoning didn't necessarily do me any damage, but it was very troublesome for him to confirm that this knowledge of the other world was valid, and I didn't want to fight another Holy Grail War in the Elder Scrolls World.
"It's still not right, even if he has seen Marshal C's treasure, there is no record of the summoning array and incantations. β
γHa...... Ha...... Do you know the priesthood of Hermeus Mora? The stupid system seemed to get tired of laughing and started answering my questions.
'Hmm, the demon god of knowledge? β
The Guardian of Secrets, the Unknown Knower, the Demon God in charge of revealing history and predicting the future, knowledge and destiny, the Stupid System paused, His Realm of Annihilation is a twisted library of endless forbidden knowledge, the Apocrypha, each of which can be transformed into his Black Books, the artifact of the Dark. γ
So that guy's credo is "Knowledge changes fate?" β
You haven't explained how He knew about the Fate world. β
[Well...... the significance of the title of 'Unknown Knower' lies in the fact that he will try his best to figure out and include any knowledge that he does not know, and with his priesthood of 'knowledge', 'prophecy' and 'fate', it is basically invincible. γ
Speaking of which, the division of labor between the Holy Spirit and the Demon God in the world of The Elder Scrolls is very strange, the Holy Spirit is basically in the realm that ordinary people can reach, while the Demon God is more abstract, such as the universally worshiped Holy Spirit, Ginares is the god of the sky, the sea and the atmosphere, and Zenidal is the god of craftsmen and commerce, which obviously corresponds to the demands of farmers, fishermen, merchants and craftsmen.
But dawn and darkness, contracts and prophecies, change and destruction, and even Mora's knowledge and destiny, all of which are clearly more influential in the lives of mortals, are controlled by demon gods, and some are even overtly evil...... Well, I guess Alduin probably couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to destroy the world.
Mora's Realm of Annihilation has all the knowledge of this world, and he will give mortals trials and give them relevant knowledge when he has nothing to do, but if any 'unknown' knowledge appears to him...... Well. γ
So he's now interested in the otherworldly knowledge that I have? β
[After all, it's the Dragon God of Time, and the prophetic prescience you showed at the beginning didn't attract Mora's attention, but after you devoured and replaced the Night Mother......] The stupid system snapped a lot of screenshots in front of my eyes.
Uh, what the hell are those Dark Brotherhoods of Celerodil doing? The "Dark Ritual" that came out was unexpectedly similar to the Heroic Spirit Summoning Array, as well as ritual prayers......
'Did that Cicero guy?' β
[It was you who told him that the current dark ritual was too ugly and that it was going to be changed to a new one-]
I just don't like to see a madman clown again, and the listener isn't a great person. β
[It's still crazy, isn't it?] γ
"Okay, got it, that guy used the Divine Priesthood of Prophecy and Destiny to come up with the real magic array and summoning spell through the scales and claws I revealed, and then verified it successfully," I waved off those screenshots, 'So what now?' β
[In short, this demon god can only be dealt with at the end, so for the time being, continue to push the quest line down, and find an opportunity to defeat or ally some demon gods again - anyway, you have stopped for a long time now.] γ
'Hehe, you crow's mouth, the questline of the Dark Brotherhood has really collapsed. β
Ignoring the stupid system's shouting "It's not me," I pushed back into time.
ββ20:52ββ
"You summoned the Dark Brotherhood?" I looked at Aventus condescendingly, and while he wasn't paying attention, I walked through the fragments of the Dark Sutra and the textbook, and even redrew the magic circle.
"Yes, yes," the little boy said clearly, though surprised, "I hope you can kill the Kind-hearted Guiro of Rift Valley." β
"Cursing others is twofold, while sending the other person to the Soul Tomb, your soul will also enter annihilation after death, although it doesn't matter?" In order to prevent myself from laughing, I kept a disgusted face and looked at him.
[Poof, hahaha! And yet there were people laughing.
'You're laughing too much today, am I interfering with Mora's judgment?' β
"What, what? I've never heard of such a thing, don't you just take money? Aventus' expression finally became less calm.
"But you don't have enough money, do you?" I looked around at the furnishings.
Aventus's mother was placed by the members of the Blonde Ladies in a sanatorium attached to the Temple of Talos, a dilapidated house of the Eretino family that had been uninhabited for a long time, and it was for this reason that Aventus performed dark rituals here, and if a member of the Dark Brotherhood approached him, he would not attract much attention.
"No, I have a lot of money, I can ask Aunt Shattered Shield to use it at any time," the little boy panicked: "Please don't let me go to a different world with my mother after I die!" β
I should have recorded it and put it on to his father in Songgard.
"Then, the contract is established," my expression remained unchanged, "after I kill Gui Luo and come back, I hope you can prepare a reward, otherwise the price will be your soul." β
At this time, the branch of the Dark Brotherhood operating in Skyrim was fundamentally different from the headquarters in Sylodir, due to the great war between the Empire and Somo, and the civil war between the Imperial Legion and the Storm Cloak that followed, the two sides were completely cut off, and they could not get any information about the location and people of the Dark Ritual in Skyrim Province, and could only send someone to contact them after hearing the rumor of "who is holding the Dark Ritual".
Of course, this was deliberately arranged by me, and if they held ceremonies, accepted commissions, and killed people for money in one go, I would not even have room to interfere in saving people.
"Wait!" Aventus, who was originally a little cringe, suddenly got up with agility: "What if I want to hire the Dark Brotherhood to do something else?" β
This bear child may be planning to track down who is targeting their mother and son after Guiluo's death, and plan to have a pot end?
"We know why you're performing the Dark Ritual," I looked at him, deliberately letting out a bit of spiritual pressure, murderous energy, or something, "but we're not detectives, and we're not interested in pursuing the truth, and if you want, we can destroy the Aretino family completely, and pay them according to their specific strength." β
"Ah, uh, there's no need to do that," no matter how ferocious the little ghost was, he was still frightened: "I just want to kill Gui Luo and the people behind her......"
That being said, if he really saw the list of people who had plotted their mother and son, the Eritino family would not be far from destruction.
"As a final word of caution, if the assassination target is too targeted, i.e., easy to guess who the employer is, you won't outlive the target, as we often see." I felt a little tired from keeping a disgusted face, so I picked up a flagpole with the Black Dragon Flag hanging from my back, ready to open the Gate of Annihilation and go to the Rift Valley to have a look.
Of course, the color and shape have to be adjusted, so as not to be sure that Mora, who is paying attention here, will see the clues, well, just use the dark space rift full of eyes, as for the bows at both ends...... Forget it.
[Hahaha...... Burst! γ
A system with such a low laugh point is rare in the world.
"Most, last question," Aventus seemed to calm down a lot, "Guiluo, how much is it worth?" β
"One thousand and forty gold coins, that is, a fine under normal circumstances." I waved the flag to open the door to annihilation of the skin between the gaps, leaving a word and stepping straight inside.
"At least seven thousand two hundred and eighty gold coins...... "The little imp muttered to himself very ferociously in the back.
Unfortunately, this amount is only a fraction.
[Ahhh......h I'm sorry...... I won't laugh casually in the future......]
Aventus thought I was going to kill Guiluo, but in fact I ran back to Songgard to beat up the stupid system, and was flying around the courtyard with the little black dragon.
"I'm going to save everyone the Dark Brotherhood is going to kill, and we'll see if you laugh any more."
[Woo woo woo ......]
