Chapter 239: Wind Helmet and Shadow

My name is Akatosh,

I'm supervising the scumbag to take care of the kids.

—4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 4th, 12:07 p.m.

Near Stormhelm, there is a high ground overlooking the main entrance of the city, the moat, and the many farmlands and manors around it, and it is said that it was once a field clinic for the Imperial Legionnaires, and "Angel" Lilith Snowhoof became famous here, but the tent where she once lived and worked, as well as the furniture and medical supplies contained therein, have been collected by Stormcloak and displayed in the Temple of Talos, so it is now just an ordinary hillside with history.

"Listen, we can't just ride this horse into town."

Xiao Fuzheng looked at the black mount in front of him with a little helplessness, and the little girl who was holding its neck and refused to let go.

“…… Well. The girl agreed, but the arm around the horse's neck did not let go at all.

"One of the rules of the Thieves' Guild is not to touch anything that will cause trouble, this big guy is so iconic, it must be the toy of some great nobleman." Xiao Fu patted the huge horse's head.

"Poof!" The dark horse snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Well, it's not a toy, although I don't know how you kidnapped it, but as long as it appears with us, the nobleman who lost his horse will definitely find us soon, and it will be very detrimental to the next action." Xiao Fu persuaded with patience that did not match her name.

If Delvin dared to be so troublesome, she would have passed with a single roundhouse kick, and a few more jabs if she was in a bad mood.

"...... [Midnight] won't be discovered." Amir let go of the horse's neck and sat upright on its back.

Even the name is called, Xiao Fu feels like a mother who is struggling with how to get her daughter to give up adopting a wild cat.

Whew-whew-

As she was about to speak again, the black horse suddenly disappeared from her sight, and if it weren't for the fact that Emile was still sitting in the air, she would have suspected that she was hallucinating from exhaustion.

“…… See ""咴咴~"

The girl reached for the position of the horse's head, and the black horse responded.

"Well, now we have to follow a different kind of rules," Xiao Fu also tried to touch the invisible dark horse, and then raised his eyebrows: "-If you accidentally get something that can't calm people even if you return it, you must pretend that you haven't seen it at all." ”

In her opinion, for a horse that can be invisible and extremely fast, she can think of hundreds of uses in an instant, and at the same time, dozens of unsolved cases can be related to it.

"You can let 'Midnight' come with us, but it's best not to let it hit anyone." Xiao Fu summed up, and then stretched out his hand to the girl who was suspended in the air: "Come on, let's go meet the 'shawl blonde' person." ”

“…… Well! Amir jumped off his horse with a light hand.

——12:14——

Based on Xiao Annoy's understanding of the methods of those nobles, the existence of the organization "Shawl Blonde" is entirely due to various coincidences.

An organization that allows anyone to join regardless of origin, wealth, power, and personal relationships is a target for those high-ranking nobles to be vigilant and crack down on in any city, but among its founders are the daughters of the two major families, Shattered Shield and Cool Sea, and whoever wants to deal with them must first consider whether they can withstand the ensuing retribution.

Lord Ofrick promotes Nordic supremacy and suppresses other races in various ways, but as long as they have beautiful blonde hair, they will be sheltered by the organization, and as a result, the lord can't find an excuse even if he wants to attack - because blonde hair and blue eyes are characteristic of Nord blood, and with such beautiful blonde hair, there must be a blood relationship with Nords.

The bottom line is that it's an all-female organization, and it's inherently endeared to the support of noble ladies and ladies - even if they have beautiful blonde hair, they won't necessarily join it, but they'll always have a good opinion of an organization that clearly puts them on their own, and if any of the stubborn guys insist on dealing with them, they might catch fire in their backyard before they can act.

But I've heard that they've been quietly sheltering cute blonde boys lately, huh......

After Xiao Fu walked into Stormhelm City, she didn't hide her dazzling blonde hair at all, and as a result, none of the things she had learned from the intelligence that the residents of Stormhelm City were unfriendly to strangers happened, and when she passed by women with similar hair colors, she would get a friendly smile from the other party.

It's just that this kind of scene can only be seen in the noble and commoner areas, and the dark elves and a few other humans who live in the gray area are the types that rarely have blond hair, let alone the hairless wurmists and tiger people, even if the "shawl blonde" girls want to help them.

"Please come in, Miss Yotie has been waiting for you for a long time." At the door of the villa of the Kuhai family, a maid is welcoming Xiao Fu, of course, she is also blonde.

——12:37——

"I'm a little disappointed, I thought you'd meet me in a more mysterious way." In the living room on the second floor of the villa, there is a banquet table, and the main seat is Yoti Kuhai, who is still young, but has already shown a little high-ranking temperament, and is very suitable for wearing aristocratic gorgeous clothes.

"Because the signature of your letter is 'Yoti Kuhai with blonde hair in a shawl' instead of 'Yoti who loves jewelry,'" Xiao Fu took an elegant sip of tea, "so it's 'Wick Wright of the Thieves' Guild' instead of 'Little Annoyance who likes to kick people'." ”

"Huhuhu, you've made a mistake, little annoyance." Yoti showed a scheming smile, and ripped off the noble dress camouflage on his body, revealing the tight cyan leather armor that was suitable for stealth and easy movement: "I can change back at any time, and the way you appear can't be changed." ”

"Really?" Xiao Fu put down the teacup unmoved, and then raised his hand and patted the air around him: "Look here." ”

“…… It's annoying. There was a fluctuation in the air, and Amir, who was biting on a bunch of honey fruits, appeared.

"Well, let's tie," Jotti circled around Amir, "not blonde, but a lovely child." ”

“…… Thank you? Emile blinked.

"Isn't it weird to get a tie? You asked me to help, you lost in the first place. Xiao Fu is very speechless about this handkerchief who always likes to share the victory with her at every turn.

"No, no, no, if you can't solve this incident, won't I win?" Jyoti shook her finger.

"Okay, you win," Xiao Fu almost laughed angrily, put the teacup back on the table and stood up directly: "Amir, let's go." ”

"I'm so sorry! Please help me! Yoti rushed over and hugged Xiao Fu: "If I can't find that batch of jewelry, I'm going to die!" ”

"I have a hundred ways to dodge this pounce and make you fall to the ground," Xiao Fu frowned and looked at Yoti, who was hanging on her, and did not have the demeanor of a noble lady at all, "If you don't get down to business, I'll really leave." ”

"Okay...... I'll just say that. Yoti let go of his hand and stepped away.

——12:49——

The "trouble" that Yotti refers to is similar to what Little Annoyance expected.

A few decades ago, when the Thieves' Guild had not yet become a vassal of a nobleman, its power spread throughout Skyrim Province, and the words of a master thief could sometimes be more effective than the lord's orders, and the commoners had little to worry about being stolen - because the wild thieves were all taken care of by the guild, and although the nobles were dissatisfied with the guild's "robbing the rich and helping the poor" to them, they did not dare to restrict or want them, otherwise their pillows might disappear when they slept.

These "rules" and "habits" disappeared after the triumvirate disappeared inexplicably and the guild declined at an incredible rate, so all the cities began to reforge order in various ways, and most of them reverted back to the situation where the lords and nobles decided everything, and the Rift City, where the Thieves' Guild is located, also had a strange situation where the nobles were greater than the lords.

The only exception is Windhelm, a new underground organization that has sprung up in the city after the Thieves' Guild has disappeared - the "Summerset Shadows", basically, they do everything the guild can do, and they do what the guild does not allow to do, although Ulfric has carried out several cleanups, but with little success.

Some say that its members are all High Elves, sent by Somo to deal with the Storm Cloak who oppose them, while others say that it is actually a supernumerary force set up by the Lord of Windhelmet to take control of the city, and that its members are all lord guards.

But for Joti, whoever they are doesn't affect her determination to get the stolen jewels back.

In order for the "Shawl Blonde" to maintain its operation and shelter and fund those blonde women, money, materials, intelligence and force are naturally indispensable, and fortunately as if it was planned in advance, the abilities of several founders happen to fully include these elements, and Yoti, as the young lady of the Kuhai family, is responsible for handing over the "materials" collected by Suzanne through "intelligence" to Avalia and converting them into "money".

Although the entire organization can now function without relying on a few founders and the families and connections they have, it is not a small trouble to suddenly lose a large number of supplies.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure it was 'Summer Twilight Shadows' who did it," Yoti slapped a pile of intelligence documents on the table, "Usually we are safe with each other because of the transportation of some living and production materials, so we are not too wary of them, after the loss of this batch of jewels, the 'Summer Twilight Shadows' spies that can be seen on a regular basis have completely disappeared, no matter how you look at it, it is very suspicious." ”

"But you don't have proof, do you?" Xiao Fu glanced at her.

"Uh...... Well...... That's why you were invited......" Yoti said with a twist, "Although I know that their lair is in the mountains to the southwest, with the vigilance of the leader of the summer twilight shadows, 'Lin Wei', they will flee as soon as we move, and the other ordinary jewels don't matter, but if he takes the [Star of Azura] with him, I will die." ”

Yes, dare to make a deal with the demon god and lose the trading items, if you don't die, who will die, a little annoying.
