At night in Rift Valley City, there is a rule similar to a "curfew". Anyone who moves on the street after ten o'clock in the evening must be unconditionally inspected and questioned by the guards. If they try to resist or escape, the guards can directly attack.
Of course, they can't see me.
This rule, which is likely to encounter a lot of criticism in other cities, has been implemented very smoothly in Rift Valley City. Not only because of the huge power of the Blackthorn family, but also because there are always thieves activities at night. If there are no pedestrians on the street, they will naturally
There's no hiding - just like that guy over there who just slipped out of a certain house.
Wearing the standard clothing of the Thieves Guild, with a hood covering his face, he was carrying a small package containing property. Although he tried his best to hide in the shadows, he was still quickly discovered by the guards of Rift Valley City.
"Hey! You! Stop!" "Running towards the city gate!" "Stop him!"
Several guards on patrol shouted, and other guards who came after hearing the sound immediately intercepted the thief, but the guy didn't let go of the package in his hand when he ran away.
【Want to save?】
'It's a bit troublesome. The stolen goods will definitely be confiscated after he is caught.'
I watched the thief named Drav running away in a straight line stupidly, while several guards with their bows and arrows ready showed confident smiles.
Well, let's do that.
Bang! Bang! When he was passing by a small bridge across the river in the city, I teleported over and let an arrow hit his back. Then before Drav could have any thoughts about the arrow hanging in front of him, I kicked him.
The man kicked the package into the river.
"Do you want to chase me down the river?" "You go ahead."
The guards who chased after them looked at the dark river surface in the middle of the night, discussed with each other for a few words, and then dispersed.
This Drav is not a member of the Thieves Guild. He and a companion named Hennong Black Snow Rat are just ordinary thieves. After finding a way to imitate two Thieves Guild uniforms, they wear them in their daily theft operations to frame the thieves.
guild.
Originally, they were supposed to be in the sewer called "Ratway" underground in Rift City. The dragonborn protagonist recruited by Brynjolf broke through the frame-up conspiracy and was killed when he tried to kill people and silence them.
As for now... I destroyed the arrow while cleaning the wound.
[Parathos, who looks like the protagonist, has not yet returned to the Thieves Guild’s headquarters in the Rat Passage, and Princess Emilia, who looks more like the protagonist, has a high stealth level, so they didn’t notice them at all when she passed by them. ]
‘I wanted to ask before, even if Artoria changed to an old sword because of Ryunosuke, why did Emil come with her? She always looks like she’s looking for me.’
[Because her name was given by Ryuunosuke? 】
'Don't ask me questions! Even if I am the supreme being in every world, I don't know anything about the problems between worlds, otherwise I wouldn't be put forward by Mora!'
At this time, wearing the uniform of the Thieves Guild, the fake Hennong and the Black Snow Rat sneaked up to the place where Drav fell into the water to observe. I flew up and kicked him down again.
【Is this appropriate?】
'Both of them can swim, and since I deliberately controlled the underwater currents, they should land far away from Rift City. And since their faces have been seen by the guards, they will not come back to seek death. What's the problem?
'
[I mean, you are wearing high heels and kicking people...]
'It's so noisy! Shut up! I'm going to see Gui Luo!'
Hei Zhen has that look, what can I do?
——22:36——
The Hall of Glory Orphanage in Rift Valley City is very famous throughout the Skyrim Province. It was led by the Blackthorn Family and financed by many nobles and powerful people. The names of all the investors are engraved on the orphanage and can be seen directly upon entering.
on the wall.
Because of this advantage, it is not only built in the center of Rift Valley City where land is extremely valuable, but the interior decoration is as gorgeous as a high-end hotel. Members of major families come to visit it every day, and there are very few orphans accepted here.
Real civilians basically all have a given name, and some surnames even come from nobles with a long history.
Most of those children were involved in huge amounts of money or political inheritance, and the parties who might gain the benefits were at odds with each other. Eventually, each side took a step back and placed the children in an orphanage to wait for them to grow up before making further plans.
Therefore, the director, administrator, and even cleaners, chefs and janitors of the orphanage are all candidates decided in a multi-party game to ensure that they will not mislead those "orphans".
'Well... I can only say that this magical transformation is even more exaggerated than that of Winterhold College.'
I visited this huge building that can accommodate dozens of children. Most of the nineteen orphans were asleep, and there was no sign of abuse or harsh treatment at all.
The doormen are still on duty around, the cleaners and chefs have returned to their homes in the orphanage, and several female administrators are coaxing the little ones who are noisy and unwilling to sleep. As for "Cixiang Guiluo", she is
Write a report about the daily life of the orphans in their room.
[Even if there is no magic reform, she is still the vicious old lady who always abuses children because of her bad mood. You will not let her be killed, right? 】
'That's not nonsense.'
I looked around Gui Luo, and I was basically sure that the name "Ci Xiang Gui Luo" was an obvious irony. This old lady had silver hair on her head, and was taller and stronger than the average old man. The corners of her eyes and mouth were a bit droopy.
, coupled with the deep wrinkles, his appearance can almost be called ferocious, and how could he be kind?
Although the brat from Aventus summoned me for the first time when he performed a dark ritual, and Sister A from the Dark Brotherhood didn't have any special reaction, I'm still not sure if there will be any consequences if I leave this old lady alone.
Others want to kill her, so if they find a way to fake her death——
"Are you here to kill me?" Gui Luo put down the report in his hand and looked towards me.
【Akatosh, you have been discovered!】
'I think you haven't been punished enough just now!'
I turned sideways and looked along the path of Gui Luo's gaze. That location was the corner of the wall that "seemed" empty. Even after Gui Luo made a sound and looked there, the lurker remained motionless.
"Ever since I accepted the terms of the deal and listed Aventus Aretino as 'killed in an accident' in the report, I have been wondering when you would send someone to tell me that I was also 'killed in an accident.' Obviously, than
When it comes to transactions, you trust another way to shut people up - but you don't seem to have much confidence in yourself?" Gui Luo looked very sure that there was someone there, and he was talking freely.
Although I could know the strengths and trump cards of both of them through other methods, wouldn't that be boring? I stepped back a little and continued to enjoy this drama.
"You can call me 'Boxer'." The air in the corner fluctuated a few times, and a man wearing tattered linen clothes appeared there. He looked like a beggar that can be seen everywhere in the dark corners of Rift Valley City.
Apart from the conspicuous bare head, he has almost no obvious features. Likewise, he does not carry any weapons.
"My attack will not cause any trauma or traces. Even if the priests of the temple come to check, they will only conclude that you died of 'heart paralysis' or 'organ failure', a common geriatric disease," the boxer took a stance.
Walking towards Gui Luo: "Now, you can reveal the trump card of knowing that someone is going to kill you but still being calm and composed."
"With no equipment or weapons at all, fighting only with fists, it's really not easy to be discovered," Gui Luo stared at the approaching boxer: "Then, maybe it's time for you to see another fighting method that also doesn't carry equipment or weapons.
"
"...!" The boxer seemed to have thought of something, his expression did not change, he stepped forward and delivered a powerful and heavy left punch.
"Guessed it right." Gui Luo raised his right hand, and an invisible barrier blocked the front of his fist. Although it shattered and scattered in the next moment, it still blocked the boxer's attack.
Well, the magician is not completely unexpected. What was just broken should be an intermediate shield. From this, it can be inferred that the boxer's unarmed attack power is about 60 points... I have more free time before I want to digitize it.
They!
After the boxer's attack was blocked, he immediately raised his other fist to attack without hesitation. It was also blocked by a barrier. Taking advantage of this gap, Guiluo summoned a single weapon exuding purple mist on his right hand.
With his sword in his hand, he drove back the boxer who tried to attack again.
"Magician?" Boxer's expression was a little distorted.
Click. Guiluo's free left hand successfully cast a spell again. A layer of body-hugging light film shimmering with a faint green light enveloped her whole body, and then she made a gesture to release the shield spell.
[Poof, the empty-handed old lady instantly turned into a sword and shield warrior]
"Summoning and transformation spells are also magic." Guiluo's ferocious face looked very terrifying under the illumination of green and purple light.
'I guess she used this method to scare children a lot.'
"These spells of yours can only last for two minutes at most... Tsk." Halfway through his words, Boxer's expression changed due to the shouts and running sounds coming from outside.
"It's a pity that I didn't learn to cast spells silently." Guiluo held up the sword and shield summoned by magic and began to approach the boxer, as if planning to counterattack.
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime." The bald boxer quickly drank a bottle of potion that looked very unpleasant to drink, and then disappeared into thin air.
[He drank the invisibility potion and escaped through the window. What now? 】
'Hehehe, I was originally worried about how to place an old lady, but now it's fine. I don't have to hesitate to throw it to the Mage Academy. But before that, I have to make a fake corpse first, and -'
——22:57——
"Dean Guiluo!"
Vice-President Constance Mitchell rushed in, just in time to see me stab "Gui Luo" to death with the black dragon flag.
After pausing for a moment to make sure she saw my appearance and clothing clearly, I turned around and jumped out of the window, while the naughty children who came after hearing the news were still cheering "Aventus did it" and "Long live the Dark Brotherhood".
I heard that Sister A has a magical skill that "catch you as soon as you fall asleep, no matter where you are in the world". I wanted to give it a try and go to Songjiade to sleep later.
