Lonely City.

Different from the warmth of Xueman, there is a kind of rich atmosphere everywhere, and the people who originally lived in Dugu City have a natural sense of superiority, and they usually have a disdainful attitude towards pedestrians, which is like watching a group of dirt buns enter the city.

There was no dark corner of the city that was sparsely populated, the bluestone floor stretched all the way to the king's palace, and the headquarters of the Imperial Legion stood on opposite sides of the city, and opposite the headquarters was the guillotine that had been dyed red.

The Skyrim War and the turmoil for days, Xueman, Marcus, Rift, and Winter Keep have all undergone major changes, which also makes Dugu City the most desirable place for people to shelter, but the residents of Dugu City do not seem to welcome these wanderers very much, because the entry of a large number of wanderers has promoted the increase of labor, but it also increases the probability of crime.

Lin Xiu was originally not allowed to enter any major cities, and even the Winter Castle Mage Guild could not let him enter safely, let alone enter Dugu City, but the Apostle did not seem to let any mission become without any chance to complete, and after obtaining the second Elder Scrolls, Lin Xiu also obtained the Demon God Mask.

This mask can only cover half of his face, without any ability blessings, but it can hide the crime value, so that Lin Xiu will not have any difficulty entering the last snow elf hinterland through Dugu City, otherwise he can only call the dragon to fly over from above Dugu City.

The mission has reached its second stage, and all the Travelers' strength has recovered fifty percent, and it is no longer impossible to be able to kill the dragon. Just in the last few days. At least three dragons have been killed by the Travelers.

That's why it's such a thing as summoning a dragon to fly over Dugu City. It was really a desperate move, and Lin Xiu didn't intend to fight to the death without revealing his identity, after all, once his identity was revealed, it would mean that the mission would be forced to stop, and then the major forces would stop the internal struggle one after another, and use all their remaining strength to hunt him down.

At least, Lin Xiu knew. There are three of the strongest Eight Jue at the point of alliance, and from the beginning of this game, they have already threatened to get rid of the Clown King first, Lin Xiu doesn't think that they will give up the opportunity to kill the Clown King because of some small contradictions between each other, after all, a chess piece that is not on the chessboard is the most threatening, and this truth is very clear to everyone's psychology.

As for the mask that covers half of the face, there is no need to worry about that. It's not uncommon for the natives of Skyrim to dress strangely, and it's not uncommon for them to put their heads in their helmets. Not to mention just blocking half of your face.

The guards did not block too much, and the small details of the ultimatum document naturally did not make it difficult for Lin Xiu and Erquit, and Erquit's charming eye could perfectly solve all future troubles without any fighting.

After entering the lonely city, Elquit was like an excited little girl, full of novelty about everything, especially after hearing that there was also a troubadour academy here, her interest was even more incomprehensible.

Frankly speaking, she was more like a child who hadn't grown up yet, becoming a bard was her first ideal, and alchemy was second, especially after she knew that the healing potions she made were equivalent to poisons, her mind was much lighter, at least she didn't plan to add some unnecessary ingredients to Lin Xiu's food.

Lin Xiu could feel that since he entered Dugu City, there were at least a dozen eyes locking on him and Erquit's figures, of which at least five or more were dangerous, and the rest were probably attracted by Erquit's beauty.

"Let's go to the Bard's Academy, I'm going to learn a good tune."

Erquit was still willful, but at least the tone covered an attitude of negotiation and begging, but Lin Xiu could only shake his head helplessly and refuse.

Dugu City is the gathering place of the Heavenly King's team, where their every move will be monitored at all times, under such a premise, Lin Xiu can't wait to give birth to two wings and fly away from here with Erquit now, how can it be possible to stay here.

Therefore, no matter how coquettish and willful Erquit was, Lin Xiu shook his head with a cold face and rejected her proposal.

"The city lord has an order, the situation in the sky has been chaotic recently, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor's travel, Dugu City has been closed for ten days, if there is any disobedience, it will be killed."

A group of cavalry swept past like a fast horse, repeating the ban on closing the city, Lin Xiu's brows frowned, but Erquit covered his mouth and smiled.

Why the Forbidden City? At this point, Lin Xiu didn't need to think too much to guess a rough idea, but the bad thing was that he seemed to be involved in it as well, and coincidentally, his mission crossed over with the final mission of the Dark Brotherhood at a point in time.

This is obviously not the plot that will appear in the original game, so the natural thing that can do this is that the Celestial King team has completely controlled this place, and they seem to be planning to take action against the team of the Dark Brotherhood?

But from this order, Lin Xiu still heard some different flavors, if he really wanted to pull out the Dark Brotherhood, then there was no need to use such a time-wasting approach, just drive the army to search and arrest all over the sky.

In other words, haven't the two teams gone head-to-head yet?

Or had the Heavenly King team guessed that the final step of the Dawn Guard's route had entered Dugu City?

Ten days is not too difficult in the first stage, but in the second stage, he has less than twenty days left, and if half of the time here is wasted, then there is no possibility of completing the task of the Dawn Guard at all.

"Go"

Lin Xiu pulled Erquit, who was still looking around, and quickly hid into the crowd, all plans were disrupted, and he had to leave Dugu City as soon as possible. But now the gates are sealed. If you force a breakthrough. Then his identity will inevitably be revealed.

The people of the thirteen halls of the Heavenly King team, he has been in contact, that person should be the one who is still in the middle of the ranking, although such an opponent Lin Xiu is confident that he can fight three enemies, but how many people from the thirteen halls are in Dugu City, he doesn't know at all, and even if he roughly estimates, since the other party has laid such a net. Then it is naturally impossible not to pay attention to it.

At least half of the thirteen halls would be gathered here, and in this case, if his identity was revealed, then his hope of escaping would be very slim.

What to do?

This is the most distressing thing for Lin Xiu at present, he took out almost all the Nord gold coins, trying to make the guards of Dugu City accommodating, but in the end, not only did he succeed, but also almost attracted unnecessary suspicion, it seems that this time the attention of the Heavenly King team has reached a very high level.

You have to be cautious and calm, the more times like this. The more you can't mess with yourself.

The best hotel in Dugu City, a thousand dollars overnight. Because of the war, the number of displaced people is increasing, and many large merchants have directly chartered several large hotels, but fortunately, Lin Xiu's gold coins are quite sufficient, so there is no need to worry too much.

The first day's time was wasted in vain, and now time is a dead end, and every day that passes, the more beneficial it will be to the Heavenly King team, and for the team of the second awakening or Lin Xiu, it will be another step towards the edge of the cliff.

In another hidden room, there is a tailor shop, the owner and the proprietress are old residents who have lived in Dugu City for decades, and they are innocent and kind, and no one will suspect that they have anything to do with the Dark Brotherhood.

The proprietress who was over fifty years old was an authentic Nord person, and she stood at the back of the table with an excited expression, and her expression was difficult to hide her excitement.

There were four people sitting at the front of the table, one of whom was blindfolded, black strips of cloth wrapped around the back of his head in a crossed way, and had been silently sipping tea.

Another girl with red hair was lying on the table weakly, her fingers constantly swirling in the teacup, spinning the teacup back and forth.

A man dressed as a clown is constantly looking in the mirror, occasionally touching this costume like a costume, and seems to be very concerned about his dress.

And the woman sitting at the top of the leader, quiet as if it didn't exist, breath came and went, as if as long as she suddenly concealed her breath, she would disappear here out of thin air, especially in this somewhat dim room, the silver thread at that end was like a bright moon, exuding a soft light.

The proprietress is called Corsin, she has been in the Dark Brotherhood for forty years, but she has not been able to contribute to the Brotherhood, and her parents are both members of the Dark Brotherhood, so the Dark Brotherhood is like her home.

Forty years was too long for her, and she watched this huge guild rise from decline to rise, from decline to peak, all of which was due to the woman called White Night sitting above.

It was an existence that she didn't dare to look up to, although she really wanted to see that delicate and flawless face, but she knew that that would be very surpassing, the vice president of the Dark Brotherhood, that was not someone she could wait and see, and she didn't even dare to think that this vice president would suddenly appear in her home.

Just like her name, even if the sun is shining, once she is stared at by the white hair, then the night will fall instantly.

She is the myth of the Dark Brotherhood, the godsister of President Astrade, the legend of the Dark Brotherhood's annexation of the Thieves Guild, and the pinnacle of single-handedly killing the President of the Thieves' Guild.

Are they coming to assassinate the Emperor?

If this kind of thing didn't appear in the White Night, Corsin would have thought it was a big joke, and she would have reminded the children who hadn't woken up from their dreams that she could understand the mood of the new blood of the Dark Brotherhood, but please don't be so naïve.

Then she continued to hide her identity, she didn't want to let the stronghold she had worked so hard to run for twenty years be uprooted for such a naïve and naïve reason.

But now it was the white-haired woman who said the plan, and she still remembers the moment when the woman appeared in front of her eyes. The cold glint that burst from her eyes filled her heart with awe and admiration.

She said lightly. Come and give the emperor a gift. There was no excitement, no fear.

But she just believes, believes that there is nothing that this woman can't do, and that being able to meet this legendary figure in her lifetime is enough to sing the praises of future generations, and the only thing she hopes for now is that this white-haired lady can give her a great task, though. She may not be inconspicuous, although she may die, but she still desperately hopes to make even a little contribution to this young lady.

It's a faith, a blind faith, a faith that can make people willing to die.

"Aunt Xin, don't be so restrained, just sit down and talk."

Poison Island's voice was as gentle as ever, and this gentle word made Corsin a little dazed. For a while, I didn't know how to answer.

When I woke up, I realized that I seemed to have done a very rude thing. The moment she looked at the eyes of the poison island, she almost fell to her knees in excitement.

Oh my God, the vice president of the Dark Brotherhood, this magical character actually called her Aunt Xin, and she was afraid that she would wake up from her dreams in the future.

"As soon as we entered Dugu City, there was a ten-day ban here, I don't know much about the specific situation, does Aunt Xin know something?"

Poison Island Tsuneko also knows that the current situation is very bad, their every move seems to have been seen through by the people of the Thirteen Hall, the woman called the Ghost Demon Queen, definitely has an IQ that is not inferior to Saya Takashihiro, but she has expected these for a long time, and she knew from the beginning that this is a task of nine deaths and one life.

"Don't dare, Vice President."

Corsin hurriedly got up again, she didn't dare to be the face of the poison island and sell the old, it was polite for people to call it like this, if she didn't have a little self-knowledge, it would be disgusting.

"It shouldn't be that we leaked our whereabouts, after all, the emperor appeared here, so it is inevitable that the imperial army should be on guard."

Corsin barely suppressed his excitement and cleared his throat before continuing, but this information is not a secret, and even ordinary people seem to know it very well, and this is obviously not enough to impress Poison Island.

Corsin anxiously pondered the unusual things in his head these days, but none of them seemed to be related.

"As far as I know, this emperor seems to have a stand-in, so is it possible that this time it is a fake emperor and not a real emperor?"

Saya Takajo reluctantly put forward such a word, she must lead this excited old woman to the right track.

"It's not impossible for Miss Gao Cheng to say this, but I guarantee that the real emperor must be in Dugu City, because the Royal Knights are here, there is no doubt about this, and even the gourmets have appeared, but it is not clear where it is."

Corsin replied respectfully, and also told the news he had found out these days.

"The most unlikely place is the most likely place, it's very simple, for example...... The Somo Embassy, which has never had a good relationship with the Empire, would have done this if I were a demon queen, but she must have expected such a step, and it was completely to invite you into the urn.

It's just that in this way, we can create some riots at most, and the real emperor doesn't need to think about it, a few masters will definitely surround him, but we don't have a chance to assassinate the fake emperor.

You know, we only need to assassinate an emperor, and then walk out to spread rumors, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and then say that the emperor has been killed, regardless of whether he is true or not, it is enough for Dugucheng to be in chaos for a while, and at that time, the lockdown order will be self-defeating. ”

Saya Takashihiro's analysis still has unique insights, but what to do is ultimately up to Poison Island Tsuneko.

"But how to get close to the Somo embassy, I do know they have a meeting recently, but the invitation is a problem."

Corsin said with some shame that this should have been something she should have solved.

"It's not difficult, as far as I know, the most powerful curator of the Somo Embassy likes Lori very much, don't we just have a ready-made one, when the time comes, I'm afraid someone can't wait to invite us to go."

Poison Island said with a forced smile.

"What's on...... Joke, Son, are you crazy, I won't agree to this kind of plan. ”

Saya Takashiro is like a fried cat, her hair is about to stand on end.

"But in this case, what about the false emperor?"

Komuro Takashi had obviously guessed Poison Island's plan, she probably just wanted to attract the attention of the Thirteen Halls, so who was the fake emperor going to assassinate him?

"In this way, Gao Cheng and I will go to the Somo embassy, and the assassination of the false emperor will be handed over to you, as for Cicero...... Want to be in the limelight? ”

Poison Island looked at Cicero with a slight smile.

"Oh, great Miss White Nights, you have not forgotten your loyal clown, and whatever you do, Cicero will do it for you.

Even if the emperor and his sister are kidnapped, Cicero will definitely complete it. ”

Poison Island Tsuneko has a life-saving grace for Cicero, which also gives this clown absolute loyalty, so he never suspects any danger in the orders of Poison Island Tsunoko.

"Okay, then go and show the emperor's sister a clown throwing knife, how about it?" (To be continued......)

PS: Thanks to the Lunar Shimmer monthly pass, thanks to the SacredKnight monthly pass.
