My name is Akatosh,

I'm digging into the corners of gods and demons.

—4E, 175, Moon of the Rain Hand, 12th, 16:42 —

After nearly five years of war, the Septin Empire and Somo finally made peace and signed an armistice called the Platinum Agreement, which required the Empire not to continue to worship "Talos", that is, the first emperor of the Empire, Taber Septin, as the "Ninth Holy Spirit".

Although the reason for this clause is that Somo wants to deny the existence of the act of "being elevated from man to god", if you think about it carefully, it is completely untenable, and the other holy spirit, "Arkay", is also elevated from man to god, so why not resist it by the way? Based on my Zerapesh's Vest's previous experience on Summerwilight, the elves' true thoughts were simply that they were dissatisfied with the fact that the guy who drove them out of the center of the continent could become the Holy Spirit.

The empire agreed so readily, also because the matter of Taber Septin's ascension to the gods was originally blown by themselves, I am afraid that the people who said this did not believe in it themselves, unlike other Holy Spirits, Taber Septin was worshipped as the "Ninth Holy Spirit" without any miracles or oracles at all, and it was just an illusion that the Nords felt stronger after chanting "For Talos" in battle.

In this regard, I have a very right to speak as Akatosh, the wheel of the world is still the eight holy spirits and sixteen demon gods biting and restraining each other, and there is no place for Talos at all - even Akai, who is also promoted by people, his original position is occupied by "concepts" such as the cycle of life and death, funerals, and cemeteries.

Those who worship Talos only hope that he can become the Holy Spirit by his own merits, and they don't think about what priesthood he should bear at all, and can only occupy the secondary priesthood of "battle" and "victory" with a little embarrassment, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Stendarr, the god of justice, but the two of them have a good personal relationship, so they give up some of them.

The Imperial Agreement was signed, but the Nords in Skyrim Province couldn't accept it, because Taber Septin originally walked out of Skyrim, and he also had the title of "Dragon of the North", in Skyrim Province, there were even more worshippers of "Talos" than the other Holy Spirits combined, it can be said that it was the signing of the "Platinum Agreement" that gave Ulfric Stormcloak the opportunity to organize his rebels, but at present, the "Stormcloak" is just an ordinary weapon for maintaining law and order in Skyrim Province.

I have to say that Lao Wu was quite handsome when he was young. 'I mingled with the Snowhoof family, watching from afar as Ufric Stormcloak, who was pointing at Markarth and making a battle plan.

Although his hair is gray, his eyes are as blue as the sea, his face is angular and angular, and he looks heroic with a dark blue light armor with a cape, and the big man next to him is the trusted deputy Garma Stonefist, along with the head of Windhelm City, the thin Jo Leifu, and the captain of the guard, Ricky, who was ordered to come from Dugu City to help.

What are you doing here? Intending to stop his slaughter of the Oathbreakers? 】

There's no need to stop them, just let them go secretly, after all, they fought to the end because Marcas City was easy to defend and there was no secret way to escape. ’

The Oathbreakers are a strange race, they are related to elves, humans, and orcs, and they took the opportunity to occupy the city of Makas when the empire sent Nord warriors and elves to fight, and with the signing of the Platinum Agreement, the Nord forces returned, and all parties were ready to recover the city as political capital, but they were preempted by the Storm Cloak under each other's involvement.

[Whitewash the Storm Cloak? 】

Well, that's kind of interesting, but there is more to the Empire and the Storm Cloak than that, and even if this matter is whitewashed, they still have to fight each other. ’

Two of the things that Ulfric Stormcloak was criticized for happening at this time, one is that the oathbreakers in Marcus City refused to surrender, and the old U almost killed them after occupying Makas City, which eventually caused the Oathbreakers outside Marcus City to attack the Nords like robbers to take revenge, and the second is the follow-up of this incident, due to the big trouble, Somo learned of the existence of the Storm Cloak, a force that still believed in Talos, and forced the Empire to capture Ulfric, during which he missed seeing his father, who died of illness, The last of the former Windhelm Lords, who developed a deep hatred for the Empire, eventually accepted the suggestion of Somo Ambassador Alan Wen to become a spy against the Empire and operated in this capacity for several years.

While the jury is still out on whether he was a true Somo spy or just an escape, this dark history still led many Dragonborns to join the Empire without hesitation.

"The Oathbreakers have fled!" "They're scared of us!" "Oooh!"

Before the commanders had made concrete arrangements for the battle, some of the sharp-eyed men of the coalition forces preparing to attack Marcus City had already seen a large number of oathbreakers in fancy dress and antlers fleeing through the side gates, and although the Nords were keen to fight, it was also worth celebrating to be able to win without a fight without bloodshed.

"Strange, does Marcus City have a side door?" Ulfric gave up on making a battle plan, pressed his hand on the map, and looked at the backs of those fleeing with some confusion.

"Hah! The barbarians finally knew to be afraid. Garma Stonefist laughed.

"Then let's go into the city and occupy it at once, although it is not enough to take the city without a fight, but there is nothing to destroy the city to add some bargaining chips to." Joe Refo said.

"So, keep the search momentum going into Marcus City." Uffric gestured.

"Wait," Regie, dressed in Imperial armor and with a very Nordic appearance, grabbed him, "They can go, but you must leave immediately." ”

"Somo?" Ulfric frowned at Ricky and asked.

"Yes, they have discovered that your 'Storm Cloak' still believes in Talos, and although they have nothing to do with your father, they are ready to take advantage of you to capture him and blackmail him." Ricky whispered, though there was no need for the cheers of the army entering the city: "Don't worry about me, it's not difficult to pretend not to believe." ”

"Thank you." Ulfric no longer entered the city, but turned and walked in the opposite direction.

'Almost,' I retracted the Gate of Annihilation that let the Oathbreakers go,' they must not have imagined that they had already walked around Songard when they walked through what looked like a hole in the wall. ’

[There is no point in saving these oathbreakers, in their opinion, they have been driven out of their homes, and there will be no fewer oathbreaker robbers in the future. 】

"Yes, yes, it makes sense to deal with the demon gods, but after those few are hidden, what can I do, I can only wait for the plot to officially start and they have to show up before taking a cold breath." 'I avoided the hordes that had swarmed into the city, found a place to hide, opened a new door to annihilation, and headed to another place where the event had taken place.

——17:22——

My destination was the Snow Mantle Vault, not Snow City, an ancient Nord tomb with the same traps and riddle doors as the other Nord tombs, except that unlike other tombs where you can still find the keys to the traps, the keys to this tomb have completely disappeared into the world, and the locks on the doors are completely unpickable. Although this strange thing is incomprehensible to the tomb robbers who have returned home, it is just a distraction for me to investigate.

Unlike other ghouls whose corpses gather discrete souls due to their age, the owner of this tomb made up his mind to resurrect before his death, and for this reason, he arranged many places in the tomb and successfully transformed into a powerful ghoul with memories of life in the third year after death.

If he follows his vision, it should be no problem to dig up other tombs along the way to recruit an army of ghouls and eventually dominate the sky, ordinary human armies are helpless against him, even if the Holy Spirit wants to stop it, there will be a demon god who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

The problem was that this guy was too low to know what kind of demon gods there were, and his behavior completely angered Meridia, so when he opened the door of the tomb and saw the light of day, he was directly vaporized by the scorching light, along with all the locks and keys of the gate, and no one has been able to enter the tomb again—until now.

If you want to break the ban placed by one demon god, only another demon god can do it, and I am walking in stealthily behind the three followers of Nocturnal, the leader of whom holds a huge key inlaid with a skull, and whenever I encounter a door that cannot be opened, I raise my hand and open it at the sound of a moment.

"Are you sure you've received an oracle from the Lady of the Night?" Dark Elf Kalia asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, if I take out the skull key without permission, the Night Lady will definitely give you an oracle to arrest me." Mercer Frey continued on his way without looking back.

"But Lady Night does not answer any of our prayers right now." Gallus was also hesitant.

Well, that's the good thing about being a god, you can know everyone's names at a glance, although even without this talent I know exactly who they are - the "nightingale" who secretly leads the thieves' guild.

Merether Frey had learned of the rumors of the tomb from some ancient texts, that since the unfortunate owner of the tomb was to be resurrected, there would be no cheap burial goods, and that all the treasures placed in the depths of the tomb were real treasures, and after punishing him, Meritia stopped paying attention to it, so that if she could open the door, she could have all her wealth.

Noctunar had a "skull key" that could open any door, and when Mercer tried to borrow it, he said, "If you want to use it, I will take back all the protection I have given you." ”

To put it simply, all three of them and their members of the Thieves' Guild will become "Lucky E", but Mercer, who is unaware of this, decides to take the risk of the unknown.

I had been staring at the few believers in Noktunar to ambush him while he interfered, but he returned to the realm of annihilation and ignored the nightingales - did he find out that I was eyeing me?

[So, are you going to save Gallus or Mercer?] 】

"Poof!" After just a moment's distraction, Mercer, who had reached the outside of the treasure room, suddenly attacked, turned around and flew an arrow at Gallus, who was caught off guard.

'First of all, Gallus wants to be saved. I pulled out the poisoned arrow stuck in my chest, and by the way gave Gallus, who was completely unharmed, a fixation to make him look like he had died of poisoning.

And then Mercer had to figure out a way, too. I watched as Mercer tried to hunt down Kalia, but the Dark Elves were quick to escape, "I deliberately didn't do the quest here when I played the game, and I could take Mercer all over the sky." ’

[Do you count this as digging the corner of the demon god? ] 】

Hey, I'm going to dig a lot in the future, and we'll see if they dare to come out and face it head-on." 'Open the door of annihilation, and I throw Gallus into Songgard.
