The Nightmother's study is in the innermost part of the sanctuary, a forbidden place in the Templar. The www.biquge.info of the pen is that no one is allowed to enter her room without the consent of the Night Mother. In Rex's mind, it was a mysterious space.

Rex led Will down the long hallway down a stone staircase to the door of Nightmother's study.

The floor of the study is covered with embroidered carpets, and the furnishings of the room are simple and neat, and the walls are the original gray of stone. Three bronze lamps hang from the ceiling, each with a candle lit in the base.

In the middle of the house is an oak chair carved with strange patterns, and the armrests of the chair are smooth and shiny due to friction. The lower part of the backrest is also carved with a pattern, and the upper part is the emblem of the Brotherhood - the bloody palm. Flags with logos are hung on the walls all around. Under the flag, there is an ebony table about one meter long, and two candlesticks are placed on the table, the candles are burning, and the light emitted illuminates the whole room clearly and brightly.

Rex approached the hidden door and heard voices coming from the study.

"Ho-ho-ho!" Cicero let out a shrill laugh, "It is known that during the heyday of the Dark Brotherhood, the successor of the Night Mother was appointed by the Lord of Death, Bar Tyberg, who was later killed by the king of the Skeleton Legion, the Demon Lord Merus Dagon. Therefore, our organization chose the most capable members of the fraternity to inherit the position of the Night Mother and lead everyone to continue to develop. Now, Terry Alice, the Mother of Nights, is retiring, and we must elect a new leader as soon as possible. ”

"Cicero is right, since the death of the Death Lord, I have been re-elected as the Night Mother of the Three Realms. The Night Mother said gently, "I am old, and my health is not as good as before, and the current era should belong to you youth." Both of you are the mainstays of the Brotherhood, and let's talk about who among the younger generations is the most suitable to succeed the Night Mother. The Night Mother asked.

"Ma'am, I propose that Rex take over as the Night Mother. Cicero exclaimed.

"Rex! He's a good candidate. The Night Mother agreed.

"As we all know, Rex is still his student!" Cicero said, "he was the best Assassin of the last Brotherhood. Rex has been learning swordsmanship from him since he was a child, and his melee combat skills have surpassed those of Engil in his heyday, and I'm sure everyone can see this. ”

Outside the door, Rex heard Cicero mention his teacher, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Suddenly, the image of Wallock suddenly appeared in his mind, it was a pair of elf eyes, stern, critical with a stereotypical expression and a sallow face, always nagging in his ear, "Rex, how are you practicing swordsmanship?" At the same time, he gently tapped Rex's head with his fingers and instructed, "You have to work hard to live, I'll wait for you." ”

"I object," said Engir in a mellow nasal voice, "the Mother of the Night is the supreme leader of the Brotherhood, and its importance is understood by everyone; Of course, Rex's abilities are not bad. But he is loose in nature, ignores the rules of the Brotherhood, and lacks the qualities to be a leader. Moreover, he has been out and about all the years and has little contact with the affairs of the sanctuary, so it would be inappropriate for him to lead the Brotherhood. ”

"Well, Engier's analysis is very reasonable. The Night Mother nodded and agreed, "The position of the Night Mother is related to the future life and death of the Brotherhood, and it is indeed more appropriate to need a person with balanced abilities to inherit." So, do you have a good candidate?"

"Sarn, I would recommend that he take over the position. "Sarn and Rex are both young elites who have just been promoted, and they have their own abilities. Rex is good at swordsmanship and has excellent fighting ability. And Sarn is proficient in magic, and all the elemental spells are superb, and the two children are doing well. In terms of resourcefulness and strategy, I think Sahn is better, he is brave and resourceful and can take the overall situation into account, and I am extremely relieved that the leadership of the Brotherhood will be handed over to him. ”

"Madam, my opinion is that Rex should take over the position, he doesn't know how to make decisions, we can guide him, teach him the ability to handle things. Cicero said.

"No, the leadership should go to Sahn. He is a well-rounded candidate for all rounds. Engier argued.

"Old, are you trying to consolidate your power through Sarn?" Cicero stared at Engil with a questioning look.

"Clown, you're talking nonsense. Engil's face turned red and he roared, "It's ridiculous, you want to frame me, what are you talking about, I don't understand?"

"Hmph!" Cicero smiled coldly, "You can hide your thoughts from others, but you can't fool me." Don't forget, I'm the Night Mother's guardian. ”

"So what, so slander me, I will not spare you. Engier's tone was fierce.

"You two shut up. The Night Mother said angrily, interrupting their argument, "Pay attention to your words, gentlemen. When the time is right, I will hand over the position of Night Mother to one of them, and this is the end of the discussion, and there is no need to say more. ”

The Night Mother sat angrily in her chair, and Cicero and Engier stood awkwardly on either side of her.

Hearing that they had stopped arguing, Rex knocked on the door. With permission, he pushed open the wooden door and walked inside.

Seeing the Night Mother sitting in a chair, he knelt on the ground with his left hand on his chest and bowed politely and thoughtfully. The Night Mother smiled and nodded gently, "Rex, get up!"

"Thank you, ma'am. Rex and Will behind him stood up.

"I've called you here today, I have a very important task for you to complete. "The Night Mother said," Imperial King Bargulf IV has activated the Dark Ritual to summon us, and he needs help. ”

"Is it Whitehorse?" Rex asked in surprise.

"That's right, the center of the Skyrim Continent. The Night Mother said.

"Whitehorse is one of the oldest cities in Skyrim," Engier rubbed his chin, "the city is surrounded by the White River, and the horses raised by the Empire are purebred white, hence the name Whitehorse City." Strategically located, politically powerful, economically prosperous, and militarily strong, White Horse is a truly strategic city, and a place where some of the Empire's most famous warriors lived. ”

"When I was out traveling, I heard about the situation in Hakuba. It's just that in such a powerful country, what does the king need us to do?" Rex asked.

"Deliver his son, Keith!" said the Night Mother solemnly.

Everyone present was taken aback, and looked at the Night Mother with wide eyes, eager to dig out the truth from her mouth immediately. Cicero stuttered, "This... What's going on?"

"According to Barguf IV, two months ago, the king of the City of Thorns, Thor Amuron, visited the empire with an army, and the two negotiated the right to trade in the River of Souls, but the negotiations failed. Before leaving the Empire, Thor Amuron instructed the general Orim to kidnap the prince Keith and take him to the City of Thorns and imprisoned him. Barguf IV sent his generals to rescue the prince several times, but all of them were defeated. Now he is turning to the Brotherhood in the hope that we can save his son. ”

"The Hammer Country is the westernmost country in the Skyrim, and it's so far away from the Empire, how could it...?" Rex said he couldn't understand.

"Ho ho ho!" Cicero let out another shrill laugh, "You don't know Rex, the Fallen Hammer Nation, under the leadership of the berserker king Thor Amuron, has been expanding their territory in recent years, constantly encroaching on the surrounding black swamps, and they are all about to drive the Argonians out of their homeland. A group of greedy barbarians have brought many disasters to this land. This time, he kidnapped the prince of the empire as a hostage, and his ambition should not be underestimated!"

There was no expression on Engil's serious face, he held his left hand in front of his chest and his right hand on his chin, in a thoughtful daze.

"Cicero is right, Saul Amuron is a dangerous man in his own right, a nightmare for all the people of Skyrim with his irascible nature, greedy, murderous temperament, and powerful army. So after careful consideration, I have decided to send you to the City of Thorns to rescue Keith. The Night Mother said.

Rex was a little worried, but still said categorically, "Please rest assured, Madame and gentlemen, my principle is to never give up." No matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to accomplish it, even at the cost of my life, and I will never damage your reputation and that of the Brotherhood. ”

"Good. But you have to remember that the purpose of this operation is to save people, not to fight, and don't clash with Amuron easily, understand!" Night Mother said with concern.

"I see, thank you Madame for your concern. Rex said.

"It's up to you whether you succeed or not!" Cicero added earnestly.
