Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Whispering Lady

Musk only stayed for one night and left, saying that he was looking for spellcasting materials. Maybe soon I'll be able to open the passage of the scroll and travel between the two worlds, right?

Last night, I discussed something with Musk about Mephala. Musk felt that there was a Mephalah artifact sealed under the Longxiao Palace, and for some reason, Mephalah's breath broke through the seal and flowed outside the palace.

"The webweaver of secrecy, desire, lies and killing...... This 'artifact' is powerful, but it must have a negative effect on the owner. ”

"Hmm. According to some books, Mepharah once made or enchanted an ebony blade. The wielder of this weapon needs to kill the people close to him to attack, and at the same time, the wielder will slowly be manipulated by the weapon and become a killing maniac. ”

"And what do you mean for me to do with this evil weapon?"

"Take it out of Longxiao Palace and take it in your own hands."

"Are you kidding me?"

"You are a dragonborn, and you have divine blood in your body, and those demon artifacts will not have any adverse effect on you. What's more, with your current physique, who can you cut with a sword that doesn't open? Me, or your martial arts guard? ”

"That argument doesn't convince me."

"I want you to use this artifact to try to communicate with King Didra. You're a dragonborn, and you're going to have to deal with King Dedra in the future, so it's time to make some preparations early. Rest assured, nothing will go wrong, unlike the demon gods who are always thinking of invading Tamriel, Mepharah is a very kind and low-key lady. ”

"Well, since you say so, I'm going to take a look, hopefully a generous employer, as you say."

--------------------------------------------------------

The next morning.

"Mr. Farenga!"

"Oh, it's under the moon."

There was a new complete dragon skeleton on the roof of the Dragon Palace, and Farenga Secret Fire was happily circling around it, writing something in a notebook, thinking that he had had a lot of fun with the dragon skeleton these days.

"Is there an evil artifact sealed under the Longxiao Palace?"

"Huh!?" Fa Renjia stopped writing, raised his head in surprise, and quickly pulled me to the corner, "How do you know the way?" ”

It seems that I asked too directly, or that this magic weapon was too shocking, "Well, I just feel it, after all, the Dragonborn should have senses beyond ordinary people." ”

"We need to talk about it, right now."

……

Farenga took me to Barguf's room, and he informed Barguf about my situation.

"Farenga, are you sure our Dragonborn friends can handle this?"

"If the Dragonborn's Akatosh bloodline can't resist that evil weapon, then we're really helpless."

"Okay. Since the events in the Helgen Fortress, everything has started to go out of order. The ghouls of the Hall of the Dead, the golden tree of the Cloud District Square, and now even the ebony blade sealed in the cellar has become uncharacteristically aggressive...... You have handled the first two things well, and I am afraid that this trouble will have to be solved by you, Lord Baron. ”

I put my hands on my chest and bowed slightly to the lord, "It's my duty." ”

"My son, Nerkill, is a bit wild and occasionally bullies other people's children, but he is always more obedient. But in the past few days, he has suddenly become wrong, bloodthirsty and violent, and even we adults don't pay attention to it. I wanted to talk to him, but he wouldn't say a word to me. The guards noticed that he had been running towards the cellar a lot lately. I know what's in the cellar, and you can feel it. ”

"Why don't you stop your son from coming closer?"

"I've tried it and nothing worked. I had sent guards to block the door to the basement, but Nell Kiel didn't know how to get in, and he always swaggered out of the basement. ”

Not...... Mephalah's priesthood has to do with lies and secrecy, and it's more than enough to fool a few guards.

"Nail the entrance with a plank?"

"The room was locked. Here's the key. ”

--------------------------------------------------------

On the corridor on the second floor of the main hall of Longxiao Palace, I met this little kid named Nerkill.

"Another idle scrap of wood to slap my father's ass?"

"You're so diao now, does your father know the truth?" In the face of the kind greetings of the elementary school students, I politely returned the color.

"Did that filthy pig send you? Someday I'm going to tear his bear face to shreds so he can stay away from me. ”

I'd love to rip your self-righteous bear kid face off now, it's so unpleasant to look at...... Forget it, let's get down to business.

"You don't use these words at your age, but you must have learned a lot in the cellar?"

"That's right. It seems that we are the only ones in this palace who are not fools," the little kid glanced at me appreciatively, and continued, with a prophetic tone in his words.

"My father didn't know anything about me. But I know him, I know the war, I know more than I can imagine. I know that he still worships Talos. He hated Somo almost as much as Stormcloak...... He was worried that he would be hunted down by the snowy people. He...... I...... I have a half-sibling with me...... The castle is very old, and many places are inaccessible, making it a great place to eavesdrop and peek...... Let's go to the cellar, where I can meet Lady Whispering, I can hear her talking to me, and she tells me many secrets. I bet she'll talk to you, trust me, you'll see ......"

I listened quietly. As more information was conveyed, the child's spirits became sluggish, and he almost collapsed to the ground when he finished the last few words.

I grabbed his falling body and let him sit back in the chair next to him. The amount of information that this kid just leaked was too large, and there were even some fragments of "thinking about it", but these are not the focus at the moment.

I knew that the elementary school students couldn't say these words either, and that it was the Whispering Lady who sent me an invitation through the child. It had just taken too much energy to work as a medium, and the child looked tired.

Because of Musk's assurance, and the promise to the lord, no matter how bad and troublesome the impression of this "Whispering Lady" is to me, I must accept her invitation.

So I turned and went downstairs in the direction of the basement.

Behind him, Neilkiel's listless but penetrating voice sounded again, "The key to the room is in the hands of Farenga, I can guarantee that no one will care if the court mage is missing......"

Burst...... I'm starting to admire the dark elf guards around my lord.

---------------------------------------------------------

The entrance to the cellar of Longxiao Palace is located in the kitchen on the left side of the hall.

Cellars are generally used to store wine, grain, as well as tools and sundries. According to Barguf and Farenga's description, I came to a wooden door with an oil lamp.

Grains of rice were scattered all over the floor, cabbage and tomatoes in cloth bags were rolled everywhere, and there were fallen cabinets. The door had been hidden, but it was still found and opened by Nairkill.

Walking through a narrow and winding path, I came to the final small door.

"I've been waiting for the right person to carry out my will. My servant had passed by not long ago, and in his eyes I saw a man of the most suitable. The kid had a lot of ideas, but he lacked the ability. ”

An eerie and ethereal female voice came straight into my head. Communicating with the mysterious supernatural beings with ill intentions made my heart very uneasy, and I took a deep breath to suppress the fear in my heart, "Is there anyone behind the door?" ”。

"I don't blame you for your ignorance, very few people are qualified to listen to my whispers. I'm Mephalah, Whispering Lady. I weave mortals in a web of love and hate, truth and lies, loyalty and betrayal. ”

"I hear your whispers, and it looks like I have the qualifications."

"That boy is good at speculating on secrets, and you," whispered with an unconcealed appreciation, "I want you to play a more active role." ”

"As you wish." I inserted the key into the hole and spun it, opening the door in front of me.

The room was eerily quiet. A table, a chair, a book, a blade, there are only these four things. I don't know how long it has been since the door has been opened, the tables, chairs, and books are covered with a thick layer of dust, and there are even faint footprints on the ground.

I picked up the book, gently flipped through the thick gray crust, and checked the contents by the light.

"To those who read this, beware of this blade."

“…… I thought the only people who had the right to enter this room were the lord of Snowman and his loyal court mage. If anyone else reads this paper, you must understand how stupid you are. Turn around and leave! And don't talk to anyone about this room and this knife! ”

“…… It has seduced many great men and women to fall and go down the wrong path. It may have unrivaled strength, but only the most despicable demon would create such an evil and perverted weapon. All who wield it end up with a mad look, no love, no trust, and an endless stream of suspicion and killing. ”

“…… Don't think it's a fun toy. The hottest flame in the Sky Forge could not melt it; When it enters the furnace, it is the coal that is used as fuel that is cooled by it. We can't destroy it, and we can't let it fall into someone else's hands. So we kept it, hid it, hid it in the darkest and deepest place of Longxiao Palace, and never unsealed it. ”

“…… Whoever picks it up will be a tragedy. ”

Belch...... Demon Knife? I don't know how many folds this book has been updated. Back to the point, this manual is quite scary, but everyone has a heart to die.

This ebony blade is closer to the style of an Oriental sword. It looks clean and has a striking shine, but it's obviously not ordinary, and if I'm a collector, I'd love it.

As an atheist on Earth, I'm curious about what this knife can do, and what if you touch it through a glove? Besides, isn't the purpose of my coming here to pick up this blade and talk to Mephala about life?

"Well done, I'd love it to fall into the hands of a smart guy like you."

As I picked up the Ebony Blade, Lady Whisper's voice reappeared in my head.

"The lord and his court mages are afraid of the power behind this door. The whole snow man is full of suspicion and tension, count them wise, and do not dig their own graves. ”

Not...... It's very light and doesn't feel much in your hand. It's very ordinary, but what about it makes me mad?

"I'm sure you'll be keenly aware that the blade doesn't match what the book says."

"That book can't just be appalling."

"The world has been mired in lies and deception, and it has been corrupted for too long by the winds of intrigue and strife outside. Pick from those closest to you, remove their disguises, and restore it to its former glory with blood......"

"Is this your suggestion or an order?" The key information had been received, and I cautiously asked Ms. Whispering.

"It doesn't matter, even if you just put it in a sheath and seal it. But I know that you are a wise man, and you are qualified to sow my glory in the mortal realm, so I entrust it to you. ”

"I'm a spellcaster, and this ebony blade has no practical value to me."

"The next time we meet, you won't think like that."

The flame of the oil lamp flickered rapidly, and as darkness fell, the chamber fell silent.
