"Doctor, when will my husband stand up?"
The Blue Palace is located in the deepest part of Dugu City. It is named after its sky-blue roof and walls. It is the most easily defended and difficult place to attack in Dugu City after General Tullius's military camp, Dur Castle. It is also the place where the lord and the Supreme King of Skyrim trust
The place where Ige handles government affairs and lives.
The blond Elisif, Toig's wife, temporarily took over the responsibilities of the lord after her husband fell, but she was somewhat powerless when faced with those intricate documents, reports and orders. While understanding her husband's work,
I hope he gets better soon than anyone else.
Although she was born into a noble family, she was not raised as a lord. The title of "blonde" that praised her beauty and long hair that would shine like gold in the sun did not help the current situation.
"It's coming, don't worry," Angela Moreland said slowly: "Don't worry, my dear, little Toig just needs the last dose of medicine."
"Angela's Fragrance" is a potion shop with a long history. It is said that it was opened by another alchemist also named Angela a long time ago. However, because Dugu City also has the largest Holy Spirit Temple in Skyrim Province, the nobles are sick or injured.
In the end, he was more inclined to go to the priests in the temple for treatment instead of drinking various potions with very strange ingredients and uncertain taste. Therefore, this potion shop became more and more consistent with its name, almost becoming a spice shop.
Toig's problem was the dragon's roar that Ulfric Stormcloak made during his assassination. The imperial princess endured the dragon's roar head-on and still moved freely, while the high king obviously only suffered a single impact, but was directly paralyzed.
Even if the high priest of the temple, Lorende, was asked to personally use healing spells, there was no sign of recovery. In the end, he could only try traditional potions.
Toxic alchemical materials such as lavender, mountain flowers, butterfly wings, inverted moss, even nightshades, and death knells were made into various potions for him to try by the old lady who owned the shop. Alisif even suspected that she was taking the supreme power.
Wang tried the medicine, but in the end Toig recovered half of his body - he could move around and handle official duties.
"Let me think about it, the ingredients of the last medicine should be-" Angela Moreland shook her head: "A silver ingot, a death knell, a ruby and a handful of vampire ashes, yes, that's it.
"
"Here, it's easy to talk about other materials, but vampire ashes..." Since he was not in the council hall, Alisif could not consult with the steward Foko Huohu or the court mage Sibili Stent, so he had to turn his attention to his own
husband.
Toig's appearance looks very young. Although he grew a beard in order to maintain his dignity, it doesn't change much. His wavy brown curly hair makes him more attractive. Even if he is half sitting on the bed, his demeanor is not compromised.
"Vampires," the High King said: "Most of them should have been eliminated in the attack on the Hall of the Vigilant. The remaining ones are either mixed in the city or hiding in remote caves."
He pointed to some reports on the low table beside the bed: "Those witnesses who claimed to have seen vampires, most of them only saw wolves, bats or evil wizards."
"If that doesn't work, we can only issue a reward order to clear out those doubtful caves." Alisif picked up several reports and tried to distinguish the authenticity.

Raje Parasos, an elite member of the Septim Empire's royal guard, is tall, handsome, and skilled in combat. He is part of the "Sharp-Eyed Eagle" unit that clears out unrest in advance for the Emperor's trip to Skyrim Province, and is ordered to protect the princess.
His Highness Emilia Septim has just found the princess who disappeared from his eyes for the fourteenth time on the roof of the Blue Palace.
"...Razhe, what are vampire ashes?" The petite purple-haired girl was sitting on the edge of the roof and asked her bodyguard.
"That evil creature will burn when it dies," Raje replied: "The burning embers are vampire ashes, and they must be collected before they fall to the ground, otherwise they will be unable to be distinguished from the soil."
"...function?" the princess continued to ask.
Her Royal Highness the Princess would always pause for a moment before speaking, as if she was thinking about her words, but sometimes even short words would be like this. Although Raje had doubts about this, he had no intention of getting to the bottom of the royal family's affairs.
"It has the functions of invisibility, restoring mana, and increasing life, so it sometimes appears in the formulas of invisibility and mana potions," Raze replied: "If you eat it directly without caring about the taste and sequelae, you can become invisible for a few seconds."
"...Where can I buy it?" The princess tilted her head, stood up, and seemed ready to leave.
And even with Raze's less sensitive hearing, he could still hear the voice of the blond Elise Ferde sending old lady Angela out of the house on behalf of the lord.
This style of directly paying for what you want is the behavior that best fits the concept of a "princess" in his impression. Since His Majesty the Emperor has handed over the entire Eastern Empire Company to her, it is inevitable that she will become like this.
It is a huge fleet that has been controlled by the royal family since ancient times, transporting ebony ore, food and other supplies between Morrowind and the Empire. It has many ports and strongholds in almost all provinces, although it cannot be used due to the climate problem in Skyrim.
Transportation work was carried out on a large scale, but it was still very rich.
"They can't be bought," he said, following the princess as he walked on the roof: "Just like the lord said, they are almost extinct. Even if vampires are clearly found in the witness reports, it is only possible that they will not spontaneously combust and cannot harvest the ashes.
A new, low-level vampire."
"...How to find it?" The princess stopped and let a group of guards under the eaves pass before jumping across the gap between the two houses.
The guards of the Blue Palace were useless to her, and she could move without any hindrance, just like she was at home - but when she thought about it, it was indeed like that.
After Her Royal Highness came to Dugu City, Lord Toig gave her the largest house in the city, the Aoyao Villa, to live in. Although the princess didn't seem to like it very much and rarely stayed there, she later took the initiative to replace her.
There must be a reason for Toeg's blocking of the dragon's roar because of that house.
"At least there are no vampires near Dragon Bridge, the base of Sharp-Eyed Eagle," Raje shook his head: "Perhaps the lord's court mage can use prophecy spells to look for them."
"...It makes sense." Princess Amelia suddenly fell from the roof, hooked the eaves with her backhand, opened the window and jumped into the house. She recognized this room as the palace mage of Dugu City, Sibili Stan.
After entering Ms. Te's residence, Raje had no choice but to follow up with the same action, and was ready to loudly inform the female mage that he had entered.
"Emilia, and Mr. Parasos," the window was not a bedroom but a living room. The court mage in dark blue robes was sitting at the table holding a book and reading. He didn't pay any attention to the two people who entered through the window.
What a big reaction: "What's the matter with coming to me so late?"
"...We are looking for vampires," the princess said.
Buzz——
Raje instantly felt that at least six deadly spells and mechanisms were aimed at him. Since none of them were aimed at Emilia, he did not immediately fight back.
"...Ashes." The princess, who had obviously forgotten her words just now, completed the sentence.
Half of all fatal attacks directed at Raje disappeared instantly.
"Oh? Why are you here looking for me, Your Highness?" Sibili put down the book and asked the girl with a smile.
"... Because the vampires are extinct, Toig needs ashes. Please divine where to find them." Raje saw that the princess was completely unaware of those attacks. If she wasn't too slow, it was because there were no attacks aimed at her at all.
.
Swish - all the prepared attacks disappeared, and Raje breathed a sigh of relief. Although he might not lose in a real fight, this was still inside the Blue Palace, and it would definitely be very troublesome.
Speaking of which, this court mage who still looks like a young woman has served the lord of Dugu City for three generations. She has been the court mage of Dugu City since Toig's grandfather. Many people speculated that she has elf blood, but the truth turns out to be even more
Horrible, she is a vampire.
Once the conclusion is known, many conditions can be deduced. For example, the chef said that he has never seen her eating. For example, prisoners in Dugu City Prison always complain that they are bitten by rats after falling asleep. Although the specific reasons are not known,
But she seems to be planning to hide her identity and protect Dugu City all the time.
But what happened to those preparations for the attack? His identity was exposed and he planned to kill him to silence him? But if the princess knew, there would be no problem?
...Well, judging from the princess's personality and skills, it seems that there is no such thing. With his status as an elite eagle, he will be slipped away by the princess right under his nose. There is no doubt about her strength, at least in terms of stealth.
"In the mountains to the west of Dugu City, there is a 'Yuesong Cave'. The thing you are looking for is inside," Raje cursed. Sibili had already completed a crystal ball divination and informed Emilia of the result.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Raze: "If you let Her Royal Highness hurt a hair——"
"Then you come with me?" Raze glared back not to be outdone.
"If you admit that you are incompetent." The court mage covered his mouth with a book.
Although he was dissatisfied with the court mage, the results displayed by the crystal ball made him feel a little relieved. There was no "prophecy" spell in the magic of Nairn Road. The so-called divination basically meant seeking revelation from the Holy Spirit or the Demon God.
The devil will answer quickly, but there is no way to know whether there are traps or scams, while the Holy Spirit, although the chance of answering is very small, can guarantee that there will be absolutely no moisture.
The scene that just appeared in the crystal ball seemed to be a dragon. If it was Akatosh and the Dragon God of Time answered it personally, there would be no problem.
"...Thank you." Her Royal Highness the Princess responded: "I will clear it out."
