49: The Emperor of the Cricket Empire
Mishan wondered when Barguf, who had already poured more than a dozen glasses of honey wine, would go to the toilet...... The capacity of the Nord people's wine glass, resting before the crossing of the rice shan, should be called "za".
Iriles, who had been sent out by Balguf to arrange things, returned to the Dragon Night Palace, and when he entered, the dark elf guard who had been glorified by the mod nodded to the lord he served, with an expression on his face that the matter had been done.
Mishan noticed that the bald butler named Ah Shi, who had gone out with Irelas, did not come back with him.
"Where's your butler?" Mishan asked Bargulf in a tone as subtle as his eyes.
Hearing Mishan's question, Barguf, who immediately knew what Mishan was asking, said: "Avinzi is from the Empire, and he doesn't know much about the election method of the Supreme King of the Skyrim. ”
Anyone who knows anything about the customs of the many races and nations of the continent of Tamriel can understand what Barguf means by this.
In the election of the High King of Skyrim, the Nords most often used the title "barbarian", which is simply to fight each other until all opponents have fallen.
It can be heads-up or waging war.
As long as you win with dignity, the Nords will recognize your status.
The kind of High King elected by the meeting and voted on is more like an excessive product before the emergence of the real High King in the minds of most Nords, which is why even if the widow of the former High King Toig, Elisiphus, inherited the status of "High King" in law, and other regions, from lords to commoners, did not take Elysiphus seriously.
Without defeating all competitors, having the support of the Empire doesn't count, not to mention that because of the "Platinum Agreement", the Empire's authority in Skyrim Province has also dropped to a freezing point.
With this custom, every time the Supreme King Selection Contest in Skyrim Province is a war that spreads throughout Skyrim Province, this kind of behavior may be so normal in the eyes of the Nord people that it can no longer be normal, but in the eyes of the Imperial people of Celerodiel, any behavior that is not satisfied with the Supreme King arranged by the Empire and wants to be the Supreme King himself is tantamount to rebellion.
The presence of an Imperial man as a steward by Barguf's side was clearly a political compromise.
As the lord in control of the Snow Manlord, even without the assistance of Rice Shan, the power that Bargulf can muster is enough to match the power of the empire in Skyrim Province and the power of the Storm Cloak...... The fact that Lord Snowman became the High King of the Skyrim was not uncommon in the history of the Nords.
Barguf didn't have this plan before, because after weighing it, he didn't think that he should let the inhabitants of Skyrim Province fall into a bigger war for his own ambitions.
And now the butler who knew he was from the Imperial faction would be left alone, proving that Bargulf had listened to Mishan's advice.
Maybe it's because of Zoe's status as a dragonborn, maybe it's because of those thousands of enchanted weapons, maybe it's because he feels that the current situation in Skyrim Province has reached a point where he has to change.
"I must admit that I did feel the urge to become the High King, especially after knowing that the Platinum Agreement between the Empire and the Ancestral Divine State required us to renounce our faith in Talos." As soon as Barguf opened his mouth, he was straightforward and crisp that belonged to the barbarians.
"Then why did you give up?" Mishan shook the Black Thorn Honey in the cup and asked Barguf, the Black Thorn Honey from the Black Thorn Family in Rift Valley City has become the most upscale drink of the Nords, maybe it's because this kind of honey is the only one filtered among all the drinks of the Nords, at least among the several Skyrim drinks that Mishan has drunk so far, only this one has the best taste, and the others are full of slag in one gulp.
"Because it's not worth it." Barguf's answer was not as unexpected as Misr Shan expected, as the homonym of the name is always referred to by the players as "Eighth Uncle", the lord of Snowman, a benevolent lord who will put aside his ambitions for the sake of people's peace and contentment.
Generally speaking, it is not a good thing to be evaluated as a ruler for "benevolence", but in the game, Barguf also shows that his benevolence is based on his own restraint, not his cowardice...... When war is really inevitable, he will also take up arms.
"If you're still wondering why I'm helping you, not Elixiphor or Ulfrick." Mishan showed a satisfied expression and said, "Your answer is the biggest reason. ”
“…… It's an honor...... "Barguf, who didn't expect Mishan to give such an answer, dragged a sentence that was very inconsistent with the barbarian's style, and as for other reasons other than this biggest reason, Barguf was also very interested and didn't ask much.
The court magician Fa Renjia, who was still borrowing wine to kill his sorrows just now, put on an attitude of simply getting drunk on the wine table, and said:
"My lord, whether it is the recruitment and training of recruits, as well as this batch of weapons, it is impossible to hide from Dugu City and Ufrik for too long."
The current appearance of this court magician is completely indistinguishable from the drunken mud he was before.
After stating his first concern, Farenga paused and continued, "And then our soul stone reserves are not enough to support the logistical supply of so many enchanted weapons...... Of course, even if those weapons are exhausted of enchanting power, they are still excellent weapons. ”
Anyway, with Fa Renjia's knowledge, he has never seen anyone who can use ebony weapons and ebony armor as general equipment to equip troops.
"Then complete the recruitment and training of new recruits before the Empire and Ufric react, only a little doll who has not yet learned to drink will take days to learn to hold on to a weapon like a weak Empire." Erindil, who had borrowed wine with Farenga to kill his sorrows, said loudly with a mouthful of wine.
Although the old blacksmith is a member of the Graymane family, judging from the fact that he can appear here and be qualified to express his opinions, his identity does not only represent the Graymane family, which is torn apart by the War Maniac family every day because of the "Platinum Agreement...... In other words, if Barguf can become the supreme king of the sky, it is also in line with the concept of the Graymane family's belief in Talos.
To be precise, if Barguf were to officially enter the competition for the position of High King of Skyrim Province, his position would be closer to that of Stormcloak, but not limited to the independence of Skyrim Province like Stormcloak.
With Zoe here, the Dragonborn, what Barguf needs to do is to support Zoe as the new Emperor as the Supreme King of Skyrim, and let the current usurpers who only know how to lose power and humiliate the country get out of power.
Just like Wufu Haas, who followed Taber Septin in the first place.
Wait until Zoe has trained the enchantment to the full level as quickly as possible, and basically made all the thousands of weapons into enchanted weapons according to the quality of the weapons.
Barguf and his cronies had already finalized most of the things that would raise the flag.
The reason why the matter was finalized at such a fast pace was because even the most cautious Fa Renjia could not think of how an army with ebony enchanted weapons and equipment per capita could lose to the other two forces.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are 500 soldiers with this kind of equipment, they can travel from the east of the Skyrim Province to the west, the west to the east, from the Skyline car to the high rock, from the high rock car to the hammer dropper, and from the hammer car to the ancestral Shenzhou.
From the First Age to the present, no army has ever had such luxurious equipment.
"Huh? Master, do you really want me to be the emperor? Zoe, whose hands were about to break because of the continuous mechanical work, leaned on the long table and grunted several puffs of honey, and then asked Mishan in a surprised tone.
"Do you think I was joking?" Mishan said to Zoe.
"Not really...... Well, I thought you were deliberately amusing me, master. Zoe scratched her silver-white hair and said embarrassedly.
"What am I teasing you about this kind of thing?" Mishan smiled and said, "Even if you really become the Emperor, you are only the ruler of the Tamriel Continent, and compared to your other sisters, you are far behind. ”
Including the poisoned milk powder characters who have become Mishan's stand-in and let Mishan instantly learn various combat skills, all the game characters directly default to the identity of the Supreme Lord of the Human Revolution Federation, and stomping their feet can affect dozens of worlds and hundreds of billions of people.
Crickets are the masters of a world and a continent, and it is embarrassing to say it too seriously.
