With a depressed mood, Caterina left the Dragon Bridge Tavern. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she didn't want to go home, and walked alone in the snowy mountain stream on the border of the Storm Country. The longing for her sister in her heart became stronger and stronger, and her uncontrollable restlessness prompted her to make a bold decision. She wanted to go to the Harggs Tower alone, even though she knew in her heart the difference in strength between herself and Satya. However, with years of experience in training against thugs in White Horse City, it should be more than enough to deal with a few robbers who rob houses, as long as you don't confront the leader Satya, you may have a chance to meet your sister.

After much thought, she decided to share the experience of that solo adventure with the partner in front of her. Let him have a basic understanding of the bandits, especially their leader, Satya. Caterina continued, "Three days after I made my decision, I finally came to the forest near the Haggs Tower. Hidden in the small woods, I observed the robbers' lair from a straight and side angle, and saw the impenetrable stone tower, which was indeed as high as the captain had described, and its walls were covered with sharp thorns. The three stone towers are built together to echo each other, and from the outside, the stone towers are perfectly defended and impeccable. Captain Kelder told me that the bandits had set up a lot of trap nets around the tower, so I kept an eye out for the unusual terrain and specially marked stones as I sneaked into the tower. Unfortunately, even though I managed to avoid the obvious traps, I still stepped on a hidden stone and triggered the trap net. It is a knotted rope trap net that bounces up and shrinks immediately when triggered from the ground, and the trap net wraps the whole prey like a bag and hangs it in the air, so that it can no longer move. In this way, even the most ordinary robbers can easily kill their prey or captive people in the net. Caterina's expression was grim, her face stiffened, and she stared at the window next to her.

"How did you escape that trap," Rex asked, "didn't they intend to kill you?"

Caterina awoke from the distraction of her sad face, turned her eyes to Rex, and the shadow on her forehead seemed to disappear. "Oh, I'm glad I had a dagger on my body. I think you can understand that in that trapped situation, I felt like a prey to be killed, and the only thought in my mind was to get out of that net as quickly as possible. I struggled desperately, but soon I was desperate to find that it was futile. I forced myself to compose. She smiled wryly, and then continued, "Soon the robbers found me trapped, and they immediately reported their leader, Satya. A few minutes later, he walked out of the stone tower with a group of thugs, and the minions stood around him. He began to interrogate me like a judge, asking me to tell him the purpose of breaking into the stone tower, and I told him truthfully that I was going to save my sister Cassiopeia. I guess you would never have imagined that Satya was standing in front of me in the net and began to preach at length. He rambled on and on about his views on the bandit profession and some of his ideas for changing the world now. I pretended to agree as I thought about a way to escape. While he was focused on his topic and his eyes were not always on me, I seized the precious opportunity to put my arm behind my back and quietly cut the knotted rope net behind me with a dagger. My heart started beating violently and my breathing was accelerating. Every time it cut a rope, it would throb violently from the impact of blood, as if it was about to escape out of its chest. When the cut was enough to hold my body, I jumped out of the crack without hesitation. ”

Rex looked at her silently, not speaking. He kept imagining in his mind the image of Caterina escaping at that time. Only when the time is right, will I reply to her with a sentence or two.

"It wasn't until he was surprised to find that I had escaped from the trap and regained my freedom that he stopped his endless, disgusting preaching. Satya cried out, 'Do you think you can kill me?, save your sister?, I'll bury you, take out your heart and feed my birds, and you will die.' He rushed at me, with his twin swords, in his hand. If!" she abruptly left the topic of breaking into the tower, and exclaimed loudly, "If I am not mistaken, those swords are one of Skyrim's famous weapons, the Chill Split." A blue chill lingers around the sword body, the blade of the cold crack is not long, it is a one-handed short sword, and it has no advantage in fighting, but when it is touched, even if it does not die, it will be instantly paralyzed and unable to move, which is the core function of the cold crack. ”

"Well, it looks like the situation is not good for you. How did you escape the stone tower?" asked Rex.

"Don't worry about the outcome, listen to me! Soon it will be said," said Katerina, "and I quickly jumped away from Satya before he could rush over." I ended up jumping in the middle of the minions, and they surrounded me. Someone stabbed me in the waist with a knife, but I managed to dodge it easily. I wielded my one-handed sword in my hand to force him back into the crowd. However, just as I was busy dealing with these minions, I suddenly felt a chill hit behind me, and I was shocked, "It's a cold crack," I thought. He hurriedly turned his body to the left side of his face to check the scene behind him, and at this time, Han Crack happened to stab his left eye. ”

"Are you hurt?" asked Rex.

"Yes, my eye is cut by the cold. This scar was left from that battle. Caterina stroked the long, thick white scar on her left eye with her hand. "I'm blind, I thought. A burning stinging pain in my left eye, blood running down my cheeks and obscuring my vision. At that moment, I felt like I was going to die somewhere. I covered my left eye with my hand and tried to keep my right eye open for a clear view. Seeing that the robbers around them were all raising their weapons in their hands, they shouted frantically while staring at themselves. I was almost in a desperate situation. To prevent a sneak attack, I immediately detonated the smoke grenade in my pocket, and thick white smoke spread through the bandits. Then. The smoke played a great role, the robbers were in a mess, and Satya could not distinguish the direction in the crowd, and I crawled on the ground and sneaked through the chaos, and finally escaped from the circle formed by the robbers, escaped from the terrible place, and ran back to the fortress without looking back. This is the end of my solo adventure. After that, Ron and Harsha grounded me and didn't allow me to do anything stupid like that, they had lost a daughter and didn't want me to be the second, they grounded me because they loved me and loved my sister dearly. ”

"It sounds like a thrilling and exciting adventure. I loved it and thank you for sharing it with me. Rex said.

"I should be the one to say thanks. "I'm satisfied that you're willing to listen to me quietly." Besides, you, the listener, are such a special Assassin of the Dark Brotherhood, and deserve to confide in you. A mysterious smile appeared on Katerina's face.

Rex was secretly surprised, but pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you mean? Assassin?

"Hmm!" Caterina didn't speak, just smiled, not a smug or humble smile. She looked at Rex with a determined gaze, so calm, confident, and calm, like a statue.

The smile on Rex's face grew stiffer, and her firmness and persistence made him feel uncomfortable. However, this uncomfortable feeling did not last long, and he adjusted his mentality and still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. He stood up cautiously, bent over, slowly approached her head, and whispered in her ear, "Excuse me, Miss, how did you know my identity?"

"I've guessed from the moment you first entered the tavern. Caterina said proudly, "Everyone knows that the prince Keith was arrested, and the news that the king is asking for help from the Dark Brotherhood has long been circulated. Sooner or later, the Brotherhood's Assassins will come to the fortress to find out the news, and that's absolutely no problem. Although Figoro Fortress is a border town of the empire and the exchange of information is infrequent, I still have some knowledge of the various forces and characters on the Skyrim Continent. I know that the Dark Brotherhood is the largest assassin organization in Skyrim, and you are one of them, am I right!".

Rex slowly sat back on the stool, nodded and admitted, "You're right, I'm an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood, and I've been completely seen through by you, but it's a bad feeling to be seen through." ”

"As far as I know, that's not all, there are two of the youngest and brightest assassins in the Dark Brotherhood, one is named Sarn, and the other is you, Rex!"

"Oh, you know so well, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" I believe you know the rules of the Brotherhood, don't you?"

Caterina smiled briskly, "I don't think you do. She shifted her ass back and changed into a comfortable position, "Because I believe you are an Assassin with a sense of justice, a true warrior." ”

"Haha," he laughed, "I'm not a warrior yet, I'm just doing what I think is right." Whether to kill or not depends on what kind of mission it is and what the summoner wants! The Brotherhood does not allow random killing of irrelevant people. ”

"yes, that's why I'm looking for you. Well, my dear hero, when shall we go?"

Rex laughed happily, "I like to rush at night, if you're not afraid." ”

"Are you testing me?"

"If you're afraid, even if it's true. I think the wild wolves and grizzly bears in the forest prefer the lonely traveler in the night. ”

"Hmph! You're underestimating the Royal Secret Assassins. We'll set out tonight, and we'll not turn back. ”

"Okay, always with you, as long as you are brave enough. Rex said smugly.

"Deal", Caterina snapped her fingers, "I...".

"Katerina, where are you doing?" interrupted their conversation as Harsha shouted as she stood in the kitchen doorway wearing a chef's uniform and an apron. "Ron has gone to the warehouse to get the keg, you go down and help him. ”

"Hey, I'll be right away. Caterina replied loudly, then turned back to Rex and said, "I know the route to the Stone Tower, so it's time for us to leave at dusk." ”

Rex nodded in agreement.

She stood up, grabbed her lute and walked quickly towards Harsha.
