"This ...... Is it Marcas City? ”

"yes!" Beside me, Florella confirmed my suspicions, and she looked up at the majestic city built on a high cliff with me, and praised from the bottom of her heart in a tone that trembled slightly with admiration, "I have heard the legend of this megalithic city since I was very young, and today I finally saw it with my own eyes!" ”

"But the style of painting in this city is completely different!"

Towns and villages aside, Snow City is the only big city I've seen before. The traditional culture of the Nord people is reflected everywhere in that city, such as the golden tree of Ginareth, the stone statue of the eagle in the Sky Furnace, and the moon vascar, the sea-crossing ship on which the first comrades-in-arms traveled...... Even from the most inconspicuous stone walls, you can get a glimpse of the freedom and roughness of the Nords. The location of the city also follows the best plan, and the fertile plains and the flowing white river bring good weather enough to make the pearl of the Northland endure for a long time.

And now the city in front of us, perched on a high cliff in the mountains, has a style and philosophy that is completely different from that of the Nords. The city is built deep in the rugged mountains, and there is not much arable land nearby, and the streams that flow down from the mountains are probably only for ornamental purposes. What struck me the most strange was the architectural style of the city.

Unlike the Nords, who built wooden houses on flat ground, the houses and temples here were either carved directly out of the rocky mountains or made of large, regularly carved polygonal stones.

The exterior of the stone house looks angular and regular. There is no contour of the arc visible above the stone, as if the builders thought that the curves were dangerous and imprecise in real life, so they preferred straight lines at an angle to each other. Those builders must have had a deep and unique understanding of architecture, a height that the Enods' current level of technology could not reach.

"This is definitely not a city built by the Nords, and it was the Oathbreakers who built it?" I asked Atres who was escorting or guiding me.

"Shh When Atreous heard my words, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing, "Outsiders like you, don't mention these three words in public, it may cause you serious trouble!" ”

"Alright," Atreez's reminder suddenly reminded me that it must be another story of your circle, and I repeated my question again, "Was this city built by those people?" ”

"Nope. The city of Makas existed here long before our ancestors settled here. ”

"Earlier than the Brighton Aborigines?" Thinking back to the history of the Nords' exploration of Skyrim, my doubts deepened, "Could it be a city built by the early elves?" But their style can't be as thick as that. ”

"It is said that ...... Listen to some learned people say that it was the dwarves who built the city. ”

"Dwarves?" The words given by Atres easily drew my attention to the unique attributes of this race, but I felt more unfamiliar. I carefully flipped through the knowledge left by Musk, and except for the stealthy tiger and the wurmians swimming in the water, no race can be put on the "short" hat.

Just as I was comparing my impressions of the various races to the dwarves, suddenly, there was a slight unusual flow of air above the road ahead. I looked up blankly, and a dark shadow flashed in front of me, followed by a dull crash not far ahead.

The sudden and loud movement silenced the entire market, and people turned their attention to the source of the sound.

"Ah!!h

Finally realizing what had happened, the onlookers scattered and fled. A Marcus city guard fell from a cliff in the upper part of the city, into the market, and on a woman who was picking up jewelry at a roadside jewelry stall.

One of the woman's limbs was violently impacted by the falling body, and it was folded into an incredible shape. The injuries looked scary, but fortunately they were not hit and were only severely fractured. And the soldier who fell to his death was not so lucky, dozens of meters high cliff, still wearing an iron armor, and not falling into a mass of unrecognizable flesh is already an ancestral virtue.

The sound of noisy footsteps came down from the street above, accompanied by the grinding and crashing of metal. Atreous guided us on, explaining the situation to me, "The guards have already begun to move, and it seems that the oathbreakers have done good work again. ”

"Maybe it's a stumble? Why don't you add a column of railings to such a dangerous height? "I looked up at the cliff above and offered another opinion.

"In Marcus City, any casualties can be considered the work of those who have broken their oaths." Aitis didn't refute my speculation head-on, he let out a long sigh, as if he had also suffered from it, "In the eyes of outsiders, the city of Marcus is carved into lifelike rocks, standing among the mountains day after day, year after year, but how can they know that behind such a huge stone city that rises from the sky, there are countless risks and murder opportunities. Marcus City is an easy-to-defend fortress, and they can only use these little tricks to make their presence visible. ”

"Why didn't the army take the initiative to attack and exterminate them?"

"Similar to the environment of Marcus City, Rich's territory is almost entirely made up of cliffs and rugged mountains, and with the fact that they have broken their oath and thrown themselves into the arms of the Demon God, we can't deal a real blow to them. We can only wait until these murderers and saboteurs are exposed before they can be brought to justice or put in jail. ”

"Alas...... Unsolvable puzzles. ”

Robbers, ambushes, plunderers, and robbers do the same, but they do so with a clear purpose - only for profit, and even for the sake of sustainability and to avoid the lord's thunderous revenge, the robbers who know how to survive are usually very professional. And this group of apostles, who commit the crime of killing and destruction only for pure revenge, bring far more harm and fear than the robbers.

The guards took over the scene, and Atres and I continued down the road deeper into the city.

"This is the largest and only tavern in Marcas." Atreous explained to me along the way everything he had seen and heard.

"Silverblood......" I whispered the words on the sign.

"That's right. From the two words on the sign, you should be able to imagine who the boss is behind the scenes. Remember, if you want to stay alive in Makas City, drink more and cause less trouble, beer is much cheaper than blood. Atreous directed me to a large stone gate farther away, "Over there is the treasury of the Silverblood Family, which contains mountains of wealth. There is a proverb that goes down in secret: the city of Makas flows with blood and silver. In fact, the Silverblood family is not taboo about this at all, and they are proud of it. ”

After walking for a while, I noticed a larger stone gate opening on the mountain wall in front of me, "Where does that lead?" ”

"The entrance to the fortress under the stone, behind which hides a huge underground city. The power of the Silver Blood Family could not pass through that gate, and it was the only area that Lord Igmund could control, and the power of the Ancestor Divine Continent was also stationed in it. ”

"Where is the temple of the goddess Dibella?" Florella, who listened quietly to Atrix's explanation along the way, also asked her own questions, although the grandeur of Marcus City was astounding, only that temple was the final home of the girl.

Atres raised his head at right angles and looked at a temple-like building at the very top of the Boulder City, "Di Bella's temple is there. ”

"Don't worry, I'll send you there when I rescue you."

"This ......," Atrium looked a little strange after hearing my promise to Flotra, "you really want to send little Flotra there?" ”

"Your captain doesn't believe it, but I can assure you that she's Di Bella's next prophet, and the temple is the right place for her." Atrax's tone sounded sour, as if there was something hidden in the temple, so I reiterated the girl's identity and asked for information about the temple.

"Well, you'd better think about your future life in prison first, and the background of that temple will be investigated for yourself after you get out of prison."

Atrium was embarrassed to say this. It's better to plan how you will spend your next life in prison.

……

"It's the furnace and forge that goes with the mines, and some orcs who are skilled in this are hired by the Silverblood family to run the place, and they have a large number of exploited low-level laborers - they are not the lowest, because they have at least freedom and remember what the sun looks like."

As the field of vision narrowed ahead, Atreus stopped narrating, and the group arrived at the final destination of the trip: the Hidana Silver Mine, or the Hidana Prison.
