Chapter 13: The Eve

Falling from a height of half a meter, I half-crouched on the ground to keep my balance, shaking the rope that had just been cut on my body to the ground.

Kena, the name given to him by humans in ancient times. Since the establishment of a unified religious system in the First Age by the Empire, the different names of the various races have been forcibly integrated, and finally embodied in the Eight Holy Spirits, Ginalais.

As for the object of the avoidance's amazement, I followed their gaze to my chest—a sapling pattern with a connection to Ginareth. That's why they let me go, it turns out that the Oathbreaker believed in Ginalais before he threw himself into the arms of King Dedra and the Raven Ghost.

"It's ...... Kena's breath, long-lost cordiality and solemnity, vivid...... What is your relationship with Kena? Did she send you to witness our rise? ”

The contrast between them and their desire to torture me, and the contrast between them suddenly staring at me with fanatical eyes made me feel at a loss for a moment.

……

Mednaki told me about their ups and downs over the years.

"Twenty-five years ago, Ulfric's army breached the city of Macas, and the city's renunciation and every resident who served the avoidant were slaughtered, even after the surrender. Even, anyone who lives in the city will be executed if they do not fight alongside Ufrik. When Ufric ordered the killing of shopkeepers, farmers, old men, and swords-wielding children who insisted on staying out, they simply repeated, 'You must join us or betray Skyrim'. ”

"The Bear of Marcus was expelled shortly after. The city has been breached twice in a row in two years, and it has changed hands three times, and it is the time when everything is in ruins. In the process, the Silverblood rise to prominence, and they come into conflict with the Egmund family, the de jure owners of Marcus City. The Silverblood family valued me and was reluctant to let me die in vain, so they secretly rescued me and threw me into the Hidana Mine, asking me to organize people to mine silver for them day and night. ”

"I was once the leader of the Oathbreakers, but I was forced to serve a man who had risen to power by the blood of his own countrymen. The shame was intense, but I had to do that, I had to lie dormant and convince the Silverblood that I was at their mercy until they let their guard down. ”

"For more than twenty years, I have nominally surrendered to the Silver Blood Family, and have conscientiously managed this silver mine for them; Secretly, I worked hard to manage my own business in order to make a comeback. Now, countless enraged prisoners are willing to do my bidding, and the ore and tools that have been secretly amassed are enough to support our future operations for a long time, and even the messengers of Kena have come to us to convey the will of the Goddess: it is time to declare our existence to them! ”

……

Just from the image of a sapling on my chest, I can make up that this is the goddess encouraging them to do it, and the avoidant has a slightly larger brain. But if you think about it, it's understandable that Medenaki has been in prison for more than 20 years, and has endured so much suffering that their anger is on the verge of eruption, and any change of events could open the floodgates of catharsis.

However, I don't really want them to do it now, it will disrupt my original plan and bring unknowable changes.

"Did you really decide to do it tonight?"

"The order has been given, the first step has been taken, and it won't be long before the Silver Blood Family discovers the anomaly."

The first step has been taken, and that is that it cannot be taken back.

Mednach handed me a metal bottle containing a clear oily liquid, signaling that the liquid in the bottle would accelerate mana regeneration. I took the bottle and asked for more details, "Haven't the Silverblood Family suspected you all these years?" ”

"Of course they doubted, but they didn't have any other choice. The Silverbloods need a lot of money to compete with Igmund for de facto control of Marcus City, but the output of the mines is limited. In order to obtain enough silver coins for their turnover, they recklessly pumped all sorts of dangerous elements into the mines. Only by my status, prestige, and ability can I tame these people and make the mine produce ore for them in an orderly manner. ”

Not...... The Silverblood family will soon taste the bitter fruits of greed.

"Are you going to force your way out of the prison from the front?"

"No, we've dug a lot of holes in the ground over the years, and we've discovered a lot of secrets buried deep beneath Makas."

Secrets of the Underground...... According to Mednaqi's description, it should be similar to an authentic tunnel. Through these tunnels, Mednaki can move people and materials from the mine to a safe place.

"Where does the tunnel lead?"

"We are ready to divide our troops into two routes, all the way along the tunnel with supplies and go north to find a new foothold, all the way...... Will appear within the city of Makas. ”

My hands paused for a few seconds, then resumed my magic of purifying Skuma. Thinking of the scuma that I have in my hands that can be used as a stimulant, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm tonight.

……

"Why do you want to kill them?"

There were many corpses piled up in the mines, and the executioners pinned the sharpened hoes to their waists, and the fresh blood on them had not yet been wiped away. Walking next to me was Mednaci's closest aide-de-camp, Blage.

"They're silver-blooded spies, or potential traitors." Blegge spat on the deceased's corpse, then poured a vial of Scuma into his stomach.

"You're excited?"

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

The bloodthirsty butcher who is about to untie his shackles - I secretly made such an assessment of him. It's just that the other side doesn't seem to agree with me.

"Do you think I'm Pokur? Hmph, you don't understand my experience at all. The King and I are the oldest in this prison. ”

"It seems that you are also a person with a story."

According to Mednaqi, the Oathbreakers who captured Markas City (and the potential Oathbreakers in the city) were largely dead under Ufrik's men. Now there is an old renunciator besides Mednaqi, which makes me more or less curious, "Can I hear your story?" What makes you like this. ”

"My story?" "I've had new people ask me, but I'll only answer them with two words: long-time and don't want to say. ”

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

This guy has just finished the medicine and is in a state of extreme excitement, and his mouth must not be tight. So I casually threw out a set of tricks to get away with it, and the other party quickly fell for it.

"Let's hear from you first, you must have had a similar experience. I can read the look in your eyes, the eyes that have faced death. ”

"Facing death, ......," I singled out the most impressive of Briggy's questioning, "I was in snowy Helgen at that time, and I was sentenced to death. ”

"Do you have a family? Is anyone outside waiting for you to come home? ”

"Yes. But...... They're far away from Skyrim, and I may never be able to go back. ”

Syllable!

I looked up at the source of the shattering sound, which was Briggy throwing the empty bottle out of his hand.

"I have a daughter who used to have. If she were still alive, she might now marry a quick-tempered silversmith or learn about herbs on her own. ”

"I was involved in the actions of the avoiders and was sentenced to death. But my daughter didn't want to see her father leave her, and she asked to be tortured in my place. ”

"The executioners forced me to watch her head roll off the rock, after which they threw me into the Hidana mine as a slave."

……

Bleige's words grew shorter and shorter, but the anger beneath them grew unabated.

"Ugh." I put my hand on Breggie's shoulder and comforted him, "I understand you and sympathize with you. ”

"No, you don't understand me at all, and I don't expect anyone to understand; I don't need your sympathy, it's my daughter who deserves it! Briggy violently shoved my hand away and continued to speak resentfully, "Every family in Richie has a story like mine, and there are no innocent bystanders in this struggle, only sinners and the dead. I am a sinner with blood on my hands, and I will not justify my actions. The only thing I have to prove is my anger! ”
