My name is Akatosh,

That guy Sangien actually forced himself out.

—4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 14th, 18:45 —

I was standing on the roof of the embassy, looking at the representatives of all walks of life with intricate relationships at my feet.

The reason why I say that this embassy's defense is completely a sieve refers not only to the thieves' guild team that has slipped in and Mercerfrey who has infiltrated in disguise, but also the bartender Marbonne who belongs to the Blade Warriors, and the previous owner of the [Bloody Rose], Moira, plus the uninvited Somo envoy Rulindir and his assassin Sugir, as for Sam Guiwne and me, they are outside the argument and have no value in discussing - no, the former is still worth discussing.

The person with this somewhat silly name is the incarnation of the god of revelry, Sanguine, who generally uses the appearance of an elderly mage, and often appears at banquets, celebrations, and major ceremonies with one purpose: to pick the right person and get drunk to see if the other person is qualified to have the Blood Rose.

The Bloody Rose is the most special of all known Demon Artifacts, and while other Demon Gods are eager to give their Demon Artifacts the "Immortal" trait, this Demon Artifact itself is a "consumable", and it will gradually "wither" in the hands of the current user like a real rose, and at the same time, it will "bloom" in Sangein's 100,000 Annihilation Realm.

Its specific effect is to summon a demon lord from the realm of annihilation to assist him for a short period of time, and this "assistance" includes but is not limited to combat, and the specific content can be directly limited at the time of summoning.

However, the artifact had a fatal weakness, and even Sangien himself would not be able to recover it without someone using it several times to "wither" it - Ambassador Alan Wen had not touched it at all after receiving the ugly staff with a rosette carved on the top.

To this end, Sangeon took a two-pronged approach, not only incarnating to fool Rulindil to borrow the staff, but also contacting its previous owner, the harpy witch Moira, who had tasted the sweetness before, and was naturally willing to have this magic artifact again.

However, there is an unexpected circumstance here, Rulindil, the envoy of Somo, was originally sent to Rift City, obviously Marven Black Thorn will not buy his account, and gives a considerable degree of embarrassment, usually he can't think of this lady, but now she actually appeared in Dugu City, and was invited to Alan Wen's drinking party, so he probably thought that the time had come, so he sent his men to assassinate, it was the hapless Sugir.

I have to say that his plan to disguise himself as a groom and deliberately lose control and fall into the deep valley in a carriage with Black Thorns is very good, after all, Ma Wen is just an old lady with strong wrists, not a powerful warrior or magician, and if he disguises himself as an accident in this way, he can avoid possible revenge from the Black Thorn family.

Then, under the influence of the [Rotten Skull] I got from Valmina, he had the dream of successfully throwing Marvien into the valley and sent her all the way to her destination.

…… Although it was me who was fallen.

The foreman of the party, Marbon, was subordinate to the Blade Warriors and was sent to gather information on Somo's movements, which was a ...... Well, the neurotic one, it was he who came out "Somo asked the Empire to ban and put to death all the Blade Warriors, and the Emperor showed signs of consent." This very misleading information caused Delphine to go into hiding and Isbon to live in seclusion, although Delphine quickly got the correct information, but the hapless Ispen remained in hiding until he was released by Esgael by smashing the wall not long ago.

He didn't notice Lazerland disguised by Mercer Frey, nor did he notice the thieves' guild squad sneaking up on the covert observation, but he managed to keep an eye on Moira, who was also infiltrating, or rather, her disguised identity, the musician "Ildi".

And "Ildi" noticed that after "Lazerland" disappeared, he walked to the living area behind the embassy without a trace, and this was naturally discovered by Ma Byrne, who had been paying attention to her, so he also handed over his work and quietly followed.

So far, Alain has been keeping an eye on Esgael Snowhoof, the fake princess Add, Marven Black Thorn, and other nobles, completely unaware that her Alain Light's is about to turn into a battlefield for dark warfare.

So, the defense force of this embassy is a complete sieve.

While most people's intentions are clear, I'm not sure what Mercer is here for, and if this guy wants to get Amir's 'god-killing powers', he should keep an eye on the fake princess. ’

I asked the stupid system as I watched a group of people rush to the treasure room where the [Bloody Roses] were stored in batches and without noticing each other.

[Hmm...... As you know, the "Blood Rose" can summon a Majin Maharaja, but since it is a "Maharaja", of course it will not be a barbarian who only knows how to cut people, and if it requires a "Maharaja who is proficient in human control" when using it, it is no problem at all. 】

Oh...... So Mercer feels that she lacks confidence in getting "methods" or "props" from the princess, and wants to use [Blood Rose] to get help? After all, [Azura Star] and [Skeleton Key] have not improved their combat power at all.

But......

'Isn't it good to be alive?' ’

The lessons of Duneville and Valmina are still there, and judging from the situation when Arthur and Emile were affected, any magic against the soul and mind is completely ineffective against these incarnations.

[But what he has to deal with is Eddie Septin, who, judging from the current situation, is a princess.] 】

‘…… Come on, I'm optimistic about you. I turned my attention to everyone other than Mercer who had thoughts about the Blood Rose.

——18:55——

Underneath the Alain Light Residence is a multi-functional underground structure, which is mainly used for treasure rooms, archives, and secret prisons, which are used to store treasures obtained in Skyrim, gather information and archives from major cities, and hold certain "prisoners" who are inconvenient to hand over to Dugu City.

While this setup may lead to ludicrous events such as "the prisoner flees with treasures and secret information", it doesn't seem like Alain has any intention of changing her approach until it actually happens.

"You damned Somo elves! I won't let you go when I go out! ”

Rulindir and Sugir greeted the basement guards and walked down, and as they passed through the cell, hoarse shouts could be heard from inside.

"Don't bother," Rulindil motioned to Sugir to move on, "That guy betrayed the Ulfric Stormcloak, tried to bargain with the Imperial Legion without any use, and was supposed to be beheaded for public display, but because Her Royal Highness was keen to save people, he ended up handing it over to us to deal with - so, even if he goes out, he will just change places, and if he is captured by the spies of the Stormcloak and returned to Stormhelm City, hehe." ”

"My lord, what's the password?" Sugir nodded and ignored it, he walked to the door of the treasure room, and then looked at the strange text lock and asked.

"'Alain's Light,'" said Rulindil, "and if you want to save your life, don't take anything but that staff when you go in." ”

"Hehehe, thank you~" When Sugil had just turned out the correct password, a burst of blazing lightning directly blasted him away, and he hit the wall far away without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and at the same time, a tall woman wearing a robe of blue feathers and completely claws below her knees appeared at the door, laughing and pushing the door open.

"Harpy! Do you want to be the enemy of Somo? Rulindil reacted extremely quickly and cast a spell on himself: "Stop now, I can treat you as if you haven't come." ”

"You're wrong about one thing," the Harpy Man looked back and smiled coldly, "I'm the Harpy Thunder Witch." ”

With that, she threw a bright white lightning ball without casting any spell, and it bounced off instead of exploding directly after touching the basement wall, and the arc of electricity wrapped around it directly knocked it to the ground as it passed by the unexpected Rulindil.

Uses armor that does not resist magic when facing a mage...... Well, the defeat is not unjust.

"Hehe," the eagle-body thunder witch Moira did not kill the obviously undead master and servant of Somo, she pushed the door and walked into the treasure room: "This kind of useful treasure was casually abandoned in this kind of place by Alan Wen's illiterate guy, it is better to return to me, the previous master." ”

"That's right—" A black light flashed, and Moira's feathered robe was shredded in large pieces, and the scattered feathers flickered, but they didn't actually hit her body: "-I thought so too. ”

"The foreman? Hehe, it looks like you're not going to stay in the embassy anymore? Moira quietly filled the gap with the feathers in the other parts and turned to confront Marborn.

"Ah...... I had planned to steal some information or rescue the grumpy guy, but now it seems that a magic artifact is acceptable. "Marbourne was no longer the polite grace of serving wine to the nobles with a tray, and the short posture of holding a sword and preparing for a shot made Moira completely afraid to move.

"I'll take care of this thing until you decide the winner," the third voice appeared, but in front of the staff stand in the treasure room, Sam Gwewen appeared from his stealth form, directly pulled out the dark red staff with a rose carved on the top, and held it high: "I will summon the 'Demon Lord who is not afraid of swords and thunder and lightning'!" ”

As he spoke, a demon lord wearing heavy demon armor and thunder and lightning wrapped around his body stepped out of the void.

"What a mistake," Marbourne and Moira moved away from each other a bit, and then faced the Lord Maharaja together, "I thought you were just a fake nobleman who ate and drank. ”

What is Sangeon doing? His incarnation can't use the demon artifact of the Nain world at all, so what's the point of directly summoning the Demon Lord with his own power and then pretending to be summoned by a staff?

【Wow...... He's kind of like you, Akatosh. 】

'What do you mean...... Belch! ’

Poof-

Mercer Frey, disguised as Lazeland, appeared behind Sam Guiwen, and with a slight penetrating sound, a long blood-stained dagger poked out of the old mage's chest, and the heavily armored electric light maharaja that had appeared before disappeared into the void with a smile.

Ruthless enough...... Sangein doesn't have the privilege of immortality like me, and this avatar will give up when he says he will give up, which only proves that what he wants to achieve is more important.

Shaking off the "corpse" of "Sam Guiwen", Mercer snatched the [Blood Rose] and poked it with the [Skull Key] without hesitation.

Whew—All the petals on the Blood Rose withered and scattered at the same time, and the staff itself and Mercer disappeared at the same time.

As those petals withered, a blood-red [Gate of Annihilation] appeared at the place where the staff disappeared, and a large number of demon lords streamed out from behind the door, I counted them slightly, there were a total of forty-five demon monarchs who were about to come out, and the number of those petals was exactly the same.

Without hesitation, Moira and Marbourne turned and ran, and the Thieves' Guild team, who had not appeared at all, escaped and rescued the prisoner, Aine Larys.

I can only reluctantly protect those two unlucky and fainted Somo...... Tsk, was it supposed to have been trampled to death?

Mercer teleports to the main hall of the banquet and takes the fake princess away. 】

Well, was he trying to make a big fuss so that Sybilee Stint couldn't track him? But it didn't work for me, and if he thought it would be bad for the princess, he would kill himself, well, his way to Atayum.

Then again, since releasing all the petals of the [Blood Rose] in one go can open the door to Sanjin's 100,000 annihilation, then I can't just arrest him-

On the other side of the Gate of Annihilation, a guy who looked similar to the other Demon Maharaja was holding the [Blood Rose] through the gate and looking at [me] and waving his hand.

Sangeon? Manual goodbye?

I was about to arrest him when the last Maki Maharaja walked out of the Gate of Annihilation, and at this moment, Sangien disappeared completely along with the Gate of Annihilation.

[Hint: Sangeon quits the game.] 】

[Hint: Obtain the Doomsday Elemental 'Seven Deadly Sins']

[Hint: Obtaining the Priesthood: '', 'Indulgence', 'Pleasure']

…… And this kind of operation?
