At this point in time of the 200th year of the Fourth Era, I was quite busy, because many people's "misfortunes" happened in this year, such as an old lady's husband who died accidentally while going out to collect medicine, and a certain person who was carrying refined void salt.
The cargo team was attacked by trolls, a certain mine in the Reach fiefdom was killed by the slain, and many other "side missions" were waiting for my intervention.
The calendar in the Elder Scrolls world is very strange. They clearly record years and dates in a way similar to Arabic numerals, but they refuse to record months in the same way. Instead, they record some common activities or scenes in that month, for example, February
, July and November are called the sunrise, sunheight and sunset months respectively based on the average height of the sun, while March, May and August are called the first seed, the second seed and the last seed based on farming practices.
The months of January and December seem to be named Morning Star and Starry Night because the nights are too long. The rain in April and the frost in October make me suspect that compatriots were mixed into the production team.
Well...except for the "middle of the year" in June, which has no technical content at all, the most special month is the "fire" in September. After the "last planting" ends and before the "frost", most people will sit in the warmth
There is nothing to do by the fire, but this supposedly peaceful month has become the starting date for many troublesome events in history. In short, it is idle.
On the 9th of the Hearthfire Month, I went to the northeast of Skyrim Province as planned, to Windhelm City, the home of the Stormcloaks.
This is a huge city like a fortress. All the houses are built of solid stone. There are no wooden buildings at all. It is divided into the royal palace area, the aristocratic area, the civilian area and the gray area. They are separated from each other.
The passages are all twists and turns, stone wall passages that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if they are attacked from the outside, the enemy will have to break through at least two "fortresses" to reach the Palace of Kings where Ulfric Stormcloak is located.
the Kings).
As the names suggest, the Noble District and the Common District are where Nords of relevant status live, while the Gray District is a unique specialty in the entire skyrim. All the "non-Nords" in Windhelm live there, and its residents include other provinces in the empire.
people and various elves, while Khajiits and Argonians are completely prohibited from entering the city.
Laowu is obviously a Nord supremacist. Since his banner is "restoring the glory of Talos", this behavior obviously earned him the support of most Nords.
However, for me, who is heading to the gray zone, it is more or less troublesome.
"Hey! Girl, this is not a place for people like you." Two glib guys blocked the way in a corridor.
Rolf Stonefist and Angeleno, the latter is just a bartender in a tavern in the Gray Zone and a Breton, while the former is a Nord who is related to the Stormcloak general Galmar Stonefist.
——After turning many corners, I don’t know.
"I'm looking for Callisto Cream. Get out of the way." I said in Sakamoto Maaya's voice.
【Hahahahahaha!】
'Shut up! Don't laugh!'
[Although that guy’s target is a ‘blonde beautiful girl’, she is not the only one with this appearance. 】
'It's a pity that there are too many twintails, and Saber is not suitable.'
"Hey, it's quite fierce," Rolf said with a crooked mouth: "I have to tell you, the dark elves in the Gray Zone are all criminals. If they find a rich lady alone, there's no telling what they will do.
So you’d better hire us brothers—”
"If you don't want to offend the Broken Shield Family, you'd better disappear immediately." A proud female voice came from behind, and the two guys in front of them turned around and ran away with a pale face.
"Frigga Broken Shield, it seems you have also heard of Callisto's reputation?" Turning around, I saw a tall woman with bright blond hair reaching out to me.
"Jeanne Darc," I shook hands with her: "Yes, I have a strange magic book that I want to ask him to identify."
The Broken Shield Family, the Kuhai Family, and the Stonefist Family are the more influential families in Windhelm City. Although the Kuhai Family, which was good at sailing, declined due to the war with the Empire, the other two families rose strongly during the war, and
Frigga Brokenshield, as the eldest daughter of her family, became famous in Windhelm for her beautiful appearance and strong skills. She even moved out of the main house and purchased her own villa "Hailim" - this is the same thing
It is also the beginning of tragedy.
Considering the architectural style of Windhelm City, where every inch of land is at a premium, it is naturally impossible to build another property out of thin air. Therefore, "Hailim" is a villa that originally had an owner, but was eager to sell it due to an accident. Frigga is buying it.
After entering the property, I soon discovered the "surprise" - an altar and a discarded magic book arranged in a hidden room.
It is an evil magic that sacrifices the soul of a living person to a powerful being and thereby obtains its gifts or even summons the true body. The previous owner of the villa could not understand the magic book at all, so he accidentally opened the communication without a sacrifice.
Passage, frightened by the appearance of "that existence", he hurriedly sold his house and fled.
Frigga naturally couldn't understand it, but she knew that there was a mage in Windhelm who could understand it, the owner of the "House of Legends" who acquired and appraised various strange items, Callisto Krim, so she brought him
Writing a book to come here to identify it may be out of pure curiosity, or it may be that she hopes there is some magic in it that can help her family.
Unfortunately, the only thing that can be related to her is the sacrifice rule "On five specific dates, sacrifice five blond girls in succession to obtain the Necromancer inheritance", and Callisto is a
The mage who was expelled from Winterhold for studying necromancy was one of the limited contents in the magic book that he could understand.
Of course I could just beat this "butcher" to death, or throw him into the realm of annihilation, but as I said a long time ago, if the crime that is about to happen is deliberately guided to its original path, logically it is
If it doesn't make sense, there is a saying called "If you don't teach, you will punish those who abuse them." Although it's not quite accurate, it probably means this.
And what I want to give him for appraisal is the "Luoyan City Textbook".
【Hahahahahaha!】
I found that pinching the wings has no effect on this stupid system, and I am considering whether to start pulling out teeth.
[Joan of Arc is holding Marshal C’s Noble Phantasm, hahaha! 】
'Shut up!'
"So, Miss Dark, your book is used to summon evil gods?" Frigga asked in surprise.
"Based on the scene, it should be Boethea." I flipped through the textbook in my hand: "The host of the ceremony refused to admit guilt, and none of us 'Hino Scholars' could understand this thing, so I was sent to find him to translate.
As evidence."
Since Miss Shattered Shield is very interested in mysticism and magic, my identity as "Xino Scholar" was quickly recognized by her. Of course, this is not a lie. Those guys from Xino Scholars really gave me
He was given the title of honorary scholar.
For noble ladies who have no magic qualifications but are interested in magic, most of them will give up this hobby after getting married. A small number will go astray like Frigga and become victims of evil wizards. Only by truly finding a way to learn
Only the lucky few who have mastered magic and have a good teacher can successfully become a magic apprentice.
"I think your book has a lot of similarities with mine." When she was about to reach the door of Callisto's shop, the House of Legends, Frigga stopped and opened the book she had packed in her backpack.
Show me the books in .
Of course they are similar. After all, they are all used to summon tentacle monsters. I took a look at the magic book with a thick green cover. This is a book called "Darkness" written by the demon god of knowledge, Hermaeus Mora.
Magic Sutra].
Generally speaking, this book will stretch out its tentacles and capture anyone who reads it into Mora's "canon" annihilation realm. After completing some strange trials, they will receive corresponding rewards. Obviously, the original world online
Callisto became the "Butcher" through this behavior, but now if Mora really dares to stretch out his tentacles, I can catch him by the tentacles, so this book has now become a book composed of strange words
It is a strange book that is completely unreadable, and its only function is to serve as a sacrifice.
"For the sake of the reputation of the Broken Shield family, it is best to tell this Callisto that both books are mine, and of course I will share them with you after the translation is completed." I suggested to Frigga.
"Well... ok," Frigga thought: "Do you want to come and stay at my house?"
"No, if I live with you, this cover-up will be meaningless. I will live in the Candleforge Inn, next to Captain Lone Wind. You can come to me later." I shook my head and answered.
Frigga nodded and opened the door of the "House of Legends" magic item shop.
——20:41——
A small banquet is being held on the second floor of Candleforge. The participants include Frigga Brokenshield, Jody Coolsea, the naughty host Susanna, the merchant Avalia who is very passionate about horses, and me. Although there are some bragging
Suspicious, but everyone here is a beautiful girl with golden hair.
"To our beautiful blond hair~" Frigga raised her glass and tried to take the initiative.
"Honor our beautiful jewelry~" Jodi, who is also the eldest daughter of the family, was naturally not to be outdone.
Susanna and Avalia obviously did not intend to get involved in this dispute, so the two drunk girls turned to me.
"Well..." I felt the five knives that Callisto stabbed me in the back not long ago when I went to get the text to be translated, and I also raised my glass: "I wish you all the best to meet here."
I hope that the guy who still decided to become a "butcher" to sacrifice after understanding everything will have fun in Sheogorath's Annihilation Realm. As for me, after finishing various branches, I will use this image to register at the Mage Academy.
