Chapter 183: The Demon God and the Night Mother
My name is Akatosh,
It's also the Night Mother
β4E, 188, Frost Moon, 13th, 22:42
The effects of the Great War between the Ancestral Divine State and the Septin Empire did not end with the signing of the Platinum Agreement.
The first was that the Red Guards of the Western Province of Hammer did not approve of this agreement, unilaterally continued the war against Somo, and drove all elven forces out of Hammer in 180 without receiving any support from the Empire, eventually forcing the Elves to re-sign a supplementary agreement to the Platinum Agreement, which set up a separate clause for Hammer Province.
Then there's Skyrim, where the Empire's prestige plummets across the province due to the ban on the belief in Talos, and the "Storm Cloaks", which were almost the private armies of the lords of Stormhelm, have gained more and more support for their unmistakable opposition to this provision, and the sprouts of a rebellion have emerged due to the injustice they received during the Reconquest of Marcas.
However, this political aspect did not affect me much, and the real problem was the collapse of the order caused by the war, and as the Empire's control over the surrounding provinces weakened, the local lordsβor the leaders of the various factions who did not call it, fought for power, and all kinds of crimes arose.
"Is there really no way to interfere?" I nested in Songjiade, looked at the chaos in other provinces and asked the stupid system: "It's okay when it's winter wood in the Ming Dynasty." β
[You can't interfere at that time,] the little black dragon flapped his wings: [All the people you can meddle with are the people who appeared in Fuyuki during the Holy Grail War and their related people. γ
"So, I can only interfere with those who will appear in Skyrim after 201 until Alduin is defeated, and those who are close to them?" I looked at the planet of Nairn and some hints of what was happening: "And what does Martin say?" β
[He is the 'Emperor', and the 'Emperor' has been to Skyrim.] Stupid system flies to the globe: If you want to interfere with something from the province, you must make sure that the target of the interference will come to Skyrim later, otherwise any interference will disappear after you leave. γ
"Well, in the provinces, it's worth interfering, and you'll come to Skyrim Province......" I began to think.
Although it is possible to achieve the goal by issuing an oracle directly to let people go to the sky, then the hostile demon god will find out the purpose, and it will be more troublesome if they take the opportunity to cause trouble, and if the action is disguised under the attack on a certain demon god......
"Dark brotherhood" I reached out to poke at the stupid system, "Where is Nightmother now?" β
If I wanted to save as many people as I could in the process of defeating Alduin and obtaining his breath of destruction, this group of killers would be an insurmountable obstacle to murdering others for no reason - or rather, just money.
If you want to hire the killers of the Dark Brotherhood, you don't have to look for them, you just need to perform a dark ritual, and the appeal will be sensed by the Night Mother, and her killers will be arranged to complete the goal and receive payment.
The earliest legends have it that the Night Mother was an ordinary person, or a position within the Dark Brotherhood, and after the legend of the Night Mother had far outlived the lives of ordinary people, it began to be rumored that she was the incarnation of Mephala, and even the spouse of Citis.
With Mephalah's style of liking to interfere in mortal things, it is still somewhat possible to be her incarnation, as for the spouse of Cidis, it is pure nonsense, how can a mortal, even if it is a demon god, become the spouse of the pure concept of "void"?
γSylodir Province, Sanctuary of Chantinghel in Bravel CityγThe little black dragon flapped its wings and turned the globe to focus on the capital province of the empire: [Well, it is worthy of the dragon of time. γ
"What do you mean?"
[Hint: The Sanctuary of Shandinghel of the Dark Brotherhood has been attacked.] γ
Is this a major event? Recently, the prompts that my sister took the initiative to issue without consulting were "The Empire and the Ancestral Shenzhou are at war" and "The platinum agreement is signed".
"This event can be tried to interfere, since the sarcophagus of the Night Mother will come to the Skyrim later, then it is acceptable to either catch Mephala or take the opportunity to make the Dark Brotherhood disappear." I zoomed in on the city, and sure enough, there was a massive fire there.
After the war, the empire was able to maintain only superficial peace in its cities, and in places where sunlight usually does not shine and after nightfall, many hidden forces will surface and fight for various reasons.
At this time, the one who organized the attack on the sanctuary of the Dark Brotherhood located below the street was the largest Skuma illegal drug merchant in Sylodir, and it was obvious that the Dark Brotherhood's style of killing anyone as long as they gave money had finally kicked the iron plate, and a commission against this merchant made him furious, intending to destroy the Dark Brotherhood completely.
Although the members of the Brotherhood are adept at assassination, frontal combat is not their specialty, and they have been blocked in the depths of the sanctuary without giving them a chance to sneak up on them.
"Yo, Mephala is really here, but how am I going to catch her? Wouldn't it be too much of an exaggeration to directly let Akatosh's dragon incarnate down? β
In the huge iron coffin, guarded by the strangely black and red Brotherhood members, a strange creature with a female upper body and a spider lower body is smirking - a personification of one of Mepharah's "webweavers".
[There's no reason for Akatosh to intervene in this kind of battle under the water,] the stupid system said: "Didn't you have a little evil left in this world last time? Throw it over and devour her. γ
"Uh-huh, good idea." I turned out the black moon left after pinching three people before, it was not enough to pinch a whole person, either a severely disabled living person, or a perfect corpse, if it was just thrown out and devoured a demon god incarnation, it should be no problem.
The so-called demon gods and the Holy Spirit are beings that are far beyond the comprehension of mortals, and their incarnations will also inherit some of their qualities, such as this incarnation of Mephala, when I just decided to deal with her, I looked up at the sky in disbelief, and then the figure began to blur as if trying to escape.
"You can't go." I waved my hand and threw out the black mud.
If the Demon God himself wants to leave, I may not be able to stop him, just like the escaped Noktunar and the big gon who pulled out the network cable. But just an incarnation, even if he finds out his own crisis, he can't escape, this is already a kind of rule of restraint.
As expected, the half-human, half-spider avatar was consumed by the black mud before it could disappear, and if the guardians opened the iron coffin now, they would find it full of surging black mud - if they hadn't been devoured.
[Hint: Devour Mephalah Avatar.] γ
[Hint: Obtain the Doomsday Element: Dark Ritual.] γ
[Hint: No available clerics obtained.] γ
Well...... This is also normal, she incarnates as the Night Mother, chooses specific believers to be "listeners", and assigns assassination missions perceived through dark rituals, but does not contain any priesthood and realm power.
Surging and tumbling β
"Great Mother of Darkness, please guide us through this crisis."
β¦β¦ What's going on with this sudden black mud perspective and inexplicable prayers?
[Because of devouring the incarnation of the demon god, the identity of the Night Mother has also been inherited,] The stupid system sounds like some schadenfreude: [You want to be locked in a coffin like a ghoul~]
"Overdone, huh?" I reached out and tugged at the little black dragon's wings: "Think of a solution for me." β
[This incarnation is incomplete, unless you go down in person, it is just a corpse, if you let the black mud change into its original appearance, and only communicate with the listener through the oracle, they will not find out that something is wrong at all - let go of me~] The stupid system fluttered its wings.
"You want me to continue to use the appearance of that corpse old lady, no way," I pinched the wings of the stupid system and threw it out, "Although it is crooked, this identity can also be used." β
Forget it, the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim Province still needs the Night Mother, otherwise it will definitely make a big leak, I shook my head and began to let the black mud gradually change and take shape.
"This is their last hiding place!" "We're going to get rid of these rats!" "Ha, Dark Brotherhood, you're about to be reduced to ashes with your Nightmother!"
In the meantime, the mercenaries of the merchants had made their way into their final refuge, and the Brotherhood members began to put up a desperate resistance.
"Ganag, Android Nika! Take the Night Mother first! I can guarantee that these greedy jackals won't be able to catch up with you! "After the transfiguration, I could hear the fierce fighting outside, even in the iron coffin, and the voices of contemporary listeners from the nearest position outside.
The strategy was correct, but I didn't want to be put down and pulled away in a carriage.
[Alisan Dapuni.] I called out to the listeners outside, and there was absolutely no way that there would be a discrepancy in this way, and the receiver could be very clear about where it came from, in other words, even if they didn't know what Mepharah's voice was like, there was no doubt that the words spoken by the avatar were the orders of the Night Mother.
ββ¦β¦ Mother? The listener's words paused for instructions, and then approached the iron coffin.
[Open my coffin.] I continued, although I am a little allergic to the title of mother, but this is not the time to worry about it.
"But, Mother."
[Immediately.] γ
"Yes, as you command."
Squeak - the iron coffin was opened, and the few people who were watching here outside were all stunned.
Ganag and Ankanica have the same round face and fiery red hair, and look like twins, while the listener, Alisan Dapuni, has wavy brown hair and a very average appearance that she can't find an adjective for a whileβbut maybe this kind of looks is a good killer.
As I stepped out, the men were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
It seems that they were suppressed by me. I said to the stupid system.
[No matter who it is, you will be shocked to see the old lady like a dry corpse turn into a big sister with blue skin, strips of cloth wrapped around her body, and strange tentacles behind her. γ
'Tentacles are weird! This is the shape of a soul healer, and the wings are those of those angels in the higher heavens! β
[I'm not interested in brushing games - it's just a corpse anyway, whatever.] γ
"Mother, mother?" The listener, along with the rest of the remaining Brotherhood members, looked incredulous, and even when the invading mercenaries came in, they just stared blankly and ignored them.
"Holy Spirit above, what kind of monster is that?" "Could it be the legendary Night Mother?" "Didn't you say that it was just a deceptive legend?" "It's pretty ......"
[Spare him his life.] I lifted my finger and pointed at the mercenary who was the last to speak, and the wings on my back suddenly glowed blue.
After the light dissipated, all of the Brotherhood members who had died in the previous defensive battles appeared around the invaders in a blue, transparent form, and blood splattered everywhere.
[Wow, Our Lady has killed someone-] The stupid system is yelling there.
'It's not Our Lady, it's β forget it. β
[Grant you the power to summon the Shadow Assassins, and in addition, go to the sanctuary in Skyrim Province as soon as possible.] I said to the listener, then turned and walked back to the iron coffin, slamming the door shut.
As I left this particular avatar, her hands folded in front of her, her wings of white light binding and obscuring her, and even if she was opened again, she could only see a cocoon.
Is there any point in doing this? γ
"This way the entire branch of the Dark Brotherhood is under my control, and there is absolutely no chance of any accidents, huh."
[I hope so.] γ
