During this period, the Lord's Nightshade agents, supplemented by the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood, searched for the 24 Barenzia Stones scattered in the sky. After the Stoneless Crown is embedded, the Lord will gain information about "Dragon"

The last clue of the prophecy in "The Book of Descendants", and there is a high probability of getting revelations related to the subsequent plot.

The process of collecting Barenzia Stones cannot be omitted. And the lord does not need to do it himself, such as running errands all over the world. After returning to the Gray Rock Castle, except for spending time with his female companion day and night, the lord spent almost all of his time with his girlfriend.

He spends all his free time dealing with the government affairs of the territory. Since he returned to Skyrim, the lord has not been so diligent.

"Master, the dean of the Dwemer Mechanical Academy, and the mayor of Ximu City. Do you have a suitable candidate?" The housekeeper who accompanies the lord is always busier than him, because almost all specific tasks are

Everything is handled by the housekeeper. Then it is distributed downwards in categories and handed over to dedicated personnel for completion.

"Do you have any suitable candidates?" The lord is accustomed to brainstorming. After all, the ladies who can be selected by the housekeeper all have their own talents, intelligence, and areas of expertise.

"Speaking of which, the only capitals in Tianji that can be compared with our Ximu City are the capitals of the nine major lords. Without exception, these nine cities are personally controlled by the nine major lords. So the one we know the most about is the mayor level.

"Dusk and Wind Cattleya, who manages the lord's study together with Dawn Warhammer Siri, have always spoken straightforwardly. As a well-informed Nord adventurer, Dusk and Wind Cattleya joined Dawn, who is also a famous adventurer.

Warhammer Xili is like a fish in water. The two of them are definitely a powerful combination of 1+1>2.

"Katelia is right." Dawn Warhammer Xili obviously agreed: "The size of the city in Skyrim limits the upper limit of government talents. Most mayor candidates with similar experience are retiring in the imperial capital." The implication is that either

Already retired, or idle for some reason. Even so, these people would rather die in old age in the Imperial City than go to the icy Skyrim Province in the northern reaches of the Empire to serve a Nord lord.

"The Imperial City is too far away, and the civil war is far from over. Don't have too many 'imaginative' connections with Cyrodiil at this time. This option also applies to Ulfric Stormcloak's Windhelm.

"Following his Snowman lord "Strong" Balgrove, the lord who remained neutral in the civil war set his sights on Skyrim Province: "Is there a suitable candidate in Skyrim?"

"Maven Black-Briar from Rift Valley City and Thongvor Silver-Blood from Markarth City." The person who gave the advice was Sinette's mother, Ige, who manages the Astrology Pavilion.

Rod Crowwoman. As one of the nine lords who have just abdicated to make way for others, her suggestions must have the foresight and foresight of the nine lords.

Unlike Windhelm, Snowrun, and Rift, which each have two clan nobles, Markarth City has only one Silver-blood clan. The Silver-blood clan controls Markarth's silver mines, prisons, and even hotels and inns.

.It is a powerful family that is not inferior to Blackthorn. The person with the most say in the entire city is not Markarth Lord Igmund, but Songwa and Tonar of the Silver Blood Clan.

Sonvar Silverblood is a staunch supporter of the Stormcloaks. It is believed that Sonvar Silverblood has reached a private agreement with Ulfric Stormcloak. When the Stormcloaks successfully capture Markarth, he will become the new lord.

.

The Blackthorn clan in Rift Valley City is a supporter of the empire. Mawen herself runs the popular Blackthorn Mead and family farm, and has close ties with the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. Mawen and the female lord "Bu"

The Dharma Master "Laila" also has a very good relationship. She can be said to be a truly black-and-white female boss. She is ruthless, cruel and arrogant. She will use the power of the Thieves Guild and the Black Brotherhood to persecute opponents. The civilians in the Rift Valley dare not

He dare not express his anger, and although he has outstanding abilities, he is not liked by others.

The two cities also suffer from the same problem.

Markarth and Rift Valley, one is troubled by the Forsworn, and the other is interfered by the Thieves Guild. There are two lords, one is controlled by the Black Thorn, and the other is controlled by the Silver Blood. The lord's influence on the territory is very limited, while the Silver Blood and Black Thorn

With the help of strong financial resources and various behind-the-scenes transactions, they have obtained a large number of political privileges.

Compared with Marwen Blackthorn, Songwa Silverblood's methods are too arrogant and his desire for control is too strong. Blackthorn is willing to cooperate with the empire and does not control military power. Its industry is mainly brewing and trade, and most of its work relies on the Thieves Guild.

Solve it secretly. However, Yinxue dares to directly and blatantly bribe the city guards. Those who resist are either executed or arrested. Moreover, Yinxue's family industry is supported by mining and mainly depends on controlling the lifeblood of the territory. Any powerful nine lords

No one will tolerate the existence of this kind of family power.

Marwen Blackthorn from Rift Valley City and Songwa Silverblood from Markarth City, a man and a woman, one from the east and the other from the west, are obviously not good friends. Just let one of them be the mayor of Ximu.

, which is equivalent to bringing in the family power behind each other. They operate secretly and use power for personal gain, which will eventually lead to failure. However, looking at it from the other side, the two of them do have superior vision and skills.

Without waiting for Mrs. Gisei Siying in the study to object, the Lord already nodded happily: "Then please invite Marwen Blackthorn to be the mayor of Ximu."

"Okay, Master." Surprisingly, the housekeeper seemed to have no doubts at all.

"Why Marwen Blackthorn?" Dusk and Wind Catalia have always been straightforward.

"A few days ago, Marwen Blackthorn's daughter Ingan Blackthorn, Lilia Snowhoof, and Ofina Graymane rode in a carriage to attend the lord's castle dinner." The housekeeper said that there are no secrets in Graystone Castle.

The "Lady's Creed" was followed to the end: "After the ball, our man went to the guest room where the three noble ladies rested, and learned 'personally' some of the unknown reasons behind it. He also 'personally' experienced the black thorns, snow hooves,

Gray Mane, Broken Shield and other major families in Skyrim have a strong desire to join Ximu (ˉ﹃ˉ*)..."

After hearing the narration narrated by the housekeeper, the Lady of Gisethying, Monica, the Daughter of the Ocean, and the Eye of the Starry Sky, Asara Quinn, who were sitting around the lord's desk, looked at each other in tacit understanding.

"I understand." The lioness Mu Yuer who managed the lord's showroom nodded happily: "As long as you serve the "Law of the Golden Tree", Black Thorn, Snow Hoof, Gray Mane, and Shattered Shield will all become our vassal families."

"So, who does the master want to bring into the castle to become the new Giseth Ying?" Monica, the daughter of the ocean, asked with a smile.

"There is a saying in my hometown: 'Only children do multiple-choice questions.'" The lord raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Giggle..." Mrs. Gisei Siying in the study room was all amused by the Lord's serious expression.

The housekeeper smiled and said: "Master, let Apothecary Mu Rui, who arrived at the castle with Ingan Blackthorn, and Stoneweaver Delavinia manage the medical room together."

Yingan Blackthorn's best friend, the female pharmacist Cold-Aroma Lily Mu Rui, gave almost everything to the lord. With the continuous influx of memory copies, it is obviously reasonable for the lord's previous adventure partners to keep returning.

.

As the old saying goes: "Wealth in the mountains has distant relatives."

What's more, Ximu City, which has become the end of the Silver Road, is not remote at all now. Even if it does not have the reputation of "the end of the Silver Road", before the civil war, Ximu City was an important route for travelers from Skyrim Province to travel from east to west.

"Who will entrust the Dwemer Mechanical Academy to, my master?" the housekeeper asked about another personnel problem.
