'So, the current Thieves Guild has become a dog-eat-dog tool among the nobles?'
[Pretty much, none of the thefts that occurred near Rift Valley City had anything to do with them. They were basically the work of thieves with similar identities to the two guys you kicked into the river.]
‘Well, speaking of which, how are the two thieves doing now? I remember their name was...Black Sea Rat?’ I looked at the heavy armored high heels on my feet that looked inexplicably sharp, and I observed three seconds of silence for them.
[It's 'Draf' and 'Hainong Black Snow Rat'. They are working in a familiar fishing ground by the lake and are completely afraid to engage in any criminal activities.] A new light screen window pops up, showing the names of the two fishermen.
image.
'It seems that we don't need to worry about them anymore. Let's continue to observe Emil's actions this time.'
I was sitting on a chair in a hotel room, chatting with the stupid system over and over again, while watching a live broadcast projected in the air.
Although I had no involvement in the process of contact between these two people and the Thieves Guild, they still successfully joined through different channels and successfully joined forces. At this time, they carried out tasks as a combination of "master" and "newcomer".
Several split screens showed from different angles that Emil was leading her followers to approach a Skooma manufacturing den hidden in a valley near Rift City, and the Skouma dealers in that den were talking about "
People were chatting and having fun around the arena, with no intention of warning the surrounding area.
This place called "Split Helm Valley" is the final destination of the previous batch of dryads disguised as fir trees. They will extract the juice of those dryads and mix them with the moon sugar bought from the Khajiit for processing.
, and finally created an alchemical potion called Skooma.
Although it can treat wounds and restore physical strength, it also has serious hallucinogenic and addictive properties. It is more like a drug than a medicine. Its sale is strictly prohibited in any territory, even in Rift Valley City.
The Blackthorn family did not dare to get involved in the matter. After its current head, Marwen Blackthorn, learned about this incident, she immediately issued a commission to the Thieves Guild to destroy this den.
In my opinion, that powerful old lady should have known about such a thing for a long time, but she had been secretly collecting evidence, waiting for an opportunity to uproot them - such as now when this matter was accidentally exposed, otherwise
, how could she directly point out the location of the valley to the Thieves Guild as soon as the incident broke out, and then turn around to deal with the family behind it without hesitation?
As for the Skuma dealers in the valley, I can only say that they are really big-hearted. In order to cover up the truth, they hired the Dark Brotherhood to silence the mercenaries who were responsible for this matter. In the second place, they just wanted to make their usual entertainment more exciting.
To capture the Khajiit monks, the nobles who supported them clearly did not have the capital to be so arrogant.
'If the Thieves Guild's daily free work consisted of this kind of mission, they could change their name to the 'Rogue Guild'.'
[That's because there is a master thief who wields Dagon's Razor from nowhere to prevent them from attacking ordinary residents, and Mercer Frey, who doesn't care about his reputation, was also hidden by a certain holy spirit. ]
'Okay, everyone will mistake a deer for a horse.'
[Isn’t it referring to mulberry and scolding huai?]
'Well……'
The stupid system in the FZ world is a bit cute, but it entered the rebellious stage after collecting only one doomsday element. If it waits until it collects all sixteen doomsday elements in this world, will it touch its beard and yell at me, "What's the matter?"
"Decent"? That's not okay.
While the stupid system was still waiting for my reply, I went directly back to Songjiade, grabbed the little black dragon and rubbed it.
[Woo woo woo...]
Well, it’s much more pleasing to the eye.
"...Pari, you attack head-on." At this time, the master and servant were approaching the entrance of the valley. Emil said this to her follower, and the figure completely disappeared from the light screen.
From the perspective of my light screens, although the security outside this small valley is very loose, there are still many guards inside. However, their purpose is not to guard against external intruders, but to prevent "fighters" who are forced to fight with each other.
Suddenly he bit back, and with amazing intuition, the little princess sneaked towards the place where those "fighters" were being held.
"She really has confidence in me, but I'm not the barbarian like Tasilius who is good at outnumbering enemies." Parasus muttered, took off the ebony bow from his back, opened the bow and aimed an arrow at a trap trigger at the mouth of the valley.
shooting.
Bang! Boom! A hanging burning oil can was shot off its tether, and after it fell, it completely ignited the large oil stain on the ground. The fire and thick smoke generated instantly attracted the attention of the Skuma dealers and guards deep in the valley.
'This method is actually quite good. Not only does it attract Emil's attention, but it is also blocked by the fire and the other party cannot see exactly how many people are coming from Taniguchi.'
[But since this task is entrusted to the Thieves Guild, don’t we just want them to solve it quietly? 】
'So you are stupid. Old Mrs. Marwen hopes that the matter will be resolved quietly under her control. Sapphire and Xiaofan must have seen it, but they still sent this "newcomer adventurer" to execute it, which proves that they want to
Things are going big.'
[Hmm... Are you planning to get rid of the control of the Blackthorn Family?] The stupid system is once again shrewd.
'After all, it is a problem left over from history. It may be difficult to get rid of it for a while, but if you always obey her words, it will be completely impossible to get rid of it.'
【Who caused the ‘problems left over by history’? 】
‘How could I know~’
Although Mercer Frey is quite annoying in the game and keeps causing trouble, but now without his participation, the Thieves Guild was almost annexed. Fortunately, I had the foresight to strengthen the sapphire, hahaha.
"Boy, you got lost at the wrong time." "We will kill you and take your money." "You are dead."
After all, it is just a layer of fire oil, and the burning time is very short. A dozen strong men wearing iron armor and horn helmets have already surrounded Parasos at the entrance of the valley, but they seem to be afraid of the equipment on his body.
Didn't take action directly.
Compared with the armor made from easily obtained copper and iron, the emery dwarf equipment from the dwarven ruins, the bronze orc equipment carefully crafted by the orc weapon masters, and the materials produced by only a limited number of mines, the masters who can forge them are more powerful.
The rare ebony equipment makes people feel very uneasy just by looking at it.
'If he wears demon or dragon bone equipment, will the opponent be scared away?'
[I can’t run because I don’t know him at all.]
'...makes sense.'
"I heard in the hotel in Rift City that there is a group of bandits living here. It seems to be true." On the screen, Parasos began his performance: "You guys come together! I'm in a hurry."
"Ha, he turns out to be a 'hero'," a Nord man who was a head taller than the other guards stood out from the crowd, with cyan orc heavy armor on his body and an orc heavy hammer in his hand that was extremely conspicuous: "But crack
The Valley is not a place to show off as a hero, so I will accept this ebony armor."
Hmm? Are you planning on having a one-on-one fight?
"Come together! Give me blunt weapons and smash that kid to death inside. No one is allowed to use sharp weapons to break 'my' armor!" The big man swung his heavy hammer and rushed over with a group of bandits.
"Damn it!" Parathos turned around and ran away, and the Skuma traders in the valley who were still paying attention at first burst into laughter.
'Well, at least his role in attracting attention has been achieved.' After judging that the follower could not be caught, I simply turned off his camera and turned to look for Emil who was sneaking. After switching several times
After displaying the mode, her light red figure appeared near the place where the "Fighter" was imprisoned.
This is a deep underground pit at the back of a valley. It is covered with a layer of iron mesh just above it. A circle of ear holes on the wall around the bottom that can barely keep out the rain is the residence of the "fighters". In addition to the only passage with multiple door locks
There is no other means of escape.
These "fighters" are basically composed of Khajiits, Argonians, Dark Elves and other unpopular races. Occasionally there are one or two guys who look like humans. Just from the wild light in their eyes, you can tell that they are actually werewolves.
.
'It can only be said that these Skooma dealers who have made a lot of money are not bold enough to catch ordinary people for wrestling. After all, no one can protect them in that case.'
[Even at this level, they are already finished.]
On the screen, Emil skillfully opened the doors of the cage one by one, and then hit a Khajiit on the head who didn't look too reckless. When he looked up in annoyance, he saw that the road leading to the ground was open.
"Fuck..." The tiger man looked around, but didn't see anyone, so he said to the air: "No matter who you are, I will remember this kindness, Sarah Red, if you need me to do anything in the future.
, I will not hesitate to do so."
'Who told this key NPC of the Thieves Guild quest line why he is here?'
[Is there any quest line that has not collapsed despite your chaos? 】
'It's so noisy, shut up, the main line will not collapse.'
"Hello~ I have a letter here for Ms. Jeanne Darc~" I was watching the drama of a group of fighters breaking out of the cage to deal with the Skuma dealers, and suddenly a voice sounded outside the door.
"She lives in that room. Just knock on the door." Wilhelm, the innkeeper, replied.
'Really, the efficiency of the Dark Brotherhood is too low. Fortunately, in order to let them find it, I rented a house here in Ivarstede, and even went out for a walk from time to time.' I complained while adjusting my sitting posture to look like a lady.
A bit, after all, compared to the heavy armor style of Skyrim Province that tightly wraps people up, Heizhen's armor is still a bit... revealing.
"Hello -" "The door is unlocked, come in."
"That...a fierce-looking man in black robe asked me to send you a letter. He didn't leave his name, but gave me a lot of money...that...goodbye..." The messenger was a young man,
With a look in her eyes that she really wanted to see but didn't dare to look at me, Aiai walked over and put the letter on the table a few steps away, explained everything, then turned around and ran away.
[Pfft...hahaha...]
Damn it, how impactful is the ripped off-the-shoulder look? I even covered my legs deliberately, maybe this messenger is a potential black chastity fan.
As for the letter, you don’t need to read it to know what it is. It has a black handprint and the words “We Know”.
