I'm supervising the scumbag to take care of the children.

Near Windhelm City, there is a high ground overlooking the city's main entrance, moat, and many surrounding farmlands and manors. It is said that this was once a battlefield clinic when the Imperial Army's troops came to the city, and "Angel" Lilith Snowhoof was here.
Although she became famous, the tent where she once lived and worked, as well as the furniture and medical supplies in it, have been collected by the Stormcloaks and displayed in the Temple of Talos, so now it is just an ordinary hillside with history.
"Look, we can't just ride this horse into town."
Xiaofan was looking helplessly at the black-smelling mount in front of him, and the little girl holding its neck and refusing to let go.
"...Yeah." The girl agreed, but her arms around the horse's neck showed no intention of letting go.
"One of the rules of the Thieves Guild is not to touch anything that may cause trouble. This big guy is so iconic. It must be a toy of some great noble." Xiaofan patted the huge horse's head.
"Puff!" Black Horse snorted dissatisfied.
"Okay, it's not a toy. Although I don't know how you abducted it, as long as it appears with us, the noble who lost his horse will definitely find us soon, which will be very detrimental to the next action." Xiaofan said.
She persuaded patiently, which didn't fit her name.
If Delwin dared to go to such trouble, she would definitely get over it with a roundhouse kick. If she was in a bad mood, she would add a few more jabs.
"...[Midnight] will not be discovered." Emil let go of the horse's neck and sat upright on its back.
Even with the name, Xiaofan felt like a mother who was worrying about how to get her daughter to give up on adopting a wild cat.
Huh——shua——
When Xiaofan was about to speak again, the black horse suddenly disappeared from her sight. If Emil hadn't been sitting in the air, she might have suspected that she was hallucinating due to exhaustion.
"...look" "咴咴~"
The girl reached out to touch the horse's head, and a response from the black horse came from there.
"Okay, now we have to abide by another kind of rule," Xiaofan also tried to touch the invisible black horse, and then raised his eyebrows: "——If you accidentally get something troublesome that cannot be settled even if you return it, you must
Pretend you've never seen it before."
Based on her knowledge, for a horse that can be invisible and extremely fast, she can instantly think of hundreds of ways to use it, and at the same time, it can be related to dozens of unsolved cases in her mind.
"You can let 'Midnight' come with us, but it's best not to let it hit anyone." Xiaofan concluded, and then stretched out his hand to the girl suspended in the air: "Come on, let's go see the 'shawl blonde'
people."
"...Hmm!" Emil jumped off the horse lightly.
——12:14——
Based on Xiaofan's understanding of the methods of those nobles, the existence of the "Blonde Mane" organization is entirely due to various coincidences.
An organization that allows anyone to join regardless of origin, property, power and interpersonal relationships is a target that high-ranking aristocrats in any city must be wary of and attack. However, among its founders are Shattered Shield and Cool
The daughters of the two major Hai families exist, and whoever wants to deal with them must first consider whether they can withstand the ensuing revenge.
Lord Ulfric promotes Nordic supremacy and suppresses other races. However, as long as they have beautiful blond hair, they will be protected by the organization. As a result, even if the lord wants to have a seizure, he can't find an excuse - because of the blond hair.
Blue eyes are a characteristic of Nord blood. With such beautiful blond hair, she must be related to the Nords.
The most critical thing is that it is a purely female organization, which is naturally able to gain the support of noble ladies and ladies - although they may not participate even if they have beautiful blond hair, they will always be interested in someone who clearly classifies them as their own.
People's organizations have a favorable impression. If some stubborn guy insists on dealing with them, there might be a fire in the backyard before he can take action.
But I heard that they have recently begun to secretly protect cute boys with blond hair, um...
After Xiaofan walked into Windhelm City, she didn't cover up her dazzling blond hair at all. As a result, she had learned from the intelligence that the residents of Windhelm City were not friendly to strangers, and none of the things with similar hair color happened.
When women pass by each other, they will also get friendly smiles from each other.
However, this kind of scene can only be seen in the aristocratic and civilian areas. The dark elves and a few other humans living in the Gray Zone are rare types with blond hair, not to mention the completely hairless Argonians and Khajiits.
Having said that, even if the girls with "blond hair" wanted to help them, they couldn't do it.
"Please come in, Miss Jodi has been waiting for you for a long time." At the door of the Kuhai family's villa, a maid was welcoming Xiaofan's arrival. Of course, she was also blond.
——12:37——
"I'm a little disappointed. I originally thought you would meet me in a more mysterious way." In the living room on the second floor of the villa, there was a banquet table. The person sitting at the main seat was still young, but his appearance was already revealed.
Jodi Kuhai, who has a bit of the aura of a superior and is well suited for wearing aristocratic gorgeous clothes, is looking up and down at Xiaofan, who is quietly holding black tea like a well-bred young lady.
"Because the signature of your letter is 'Yoti Kuhai with blond hair' instead of 'Yoti who likes jewelry'," Xiaofan sipped her tea elegantly: "So the one who appears here is 'Thieves Guild'
Wicks Wright' rather than 'kicking little annoyance'."
"Huhuhu, you made a mistake, Xiaofan." Jodi showed a smile that showed success, and took off the disguise of his aristocratic dress, revealing the tight-fitting cyan leather armor underneath that was suitable for sneaking and moving easily: "I
You can change back at any time, but the way you appear can no longer be changed."
"Really?" Xiaofan put down the tea cup unmoved, then raised his hand and patted the air beside him: "Look here."
"...I'm so annoyed." The air fluctuated, and Emil appeared with a bunch of candies and was biting it.
"Okay, we're even," Jodi circled half a circle around Emil: "Although he's not blond, he's still a cute kid."
"...Thank you?" Emil blinked.
"It's only a tie, okay? You asked me to help, right? You lost from the beginning." Xiaofan was speechless for this handkerchief who always liked to decide the outcome with her at every turn.
"No, no, no, if you can't solve this incident, wouldn't I win?" Jodi shook his finger.
"Okay, you win," Xiaofan almost laughed angrily, put the teacup back on the table and stood up: "Emil, let's go."
"I'm so sorry! Please help me!" Jodi rushed over and hugged Xiaofan: "I will die if I can't find that batch of jewelry!"
"I have a hundred ways to avoid this attack and make you fall to the ground." Xiaofan frowned and looked at Jodi, who was hanging on her body and did not have the manners of an aristocratic lady at all: "If you don't talk about the business, I will really leave.
"
"Okay...I'll tell you right now." Jordy let go and stepped away.
——12:49——
The "trouble" that Jordy mentioned was pretty much what Xiaofan expected.
A few decades ago, when the Thieves Guild had not become a vassal of a certain noble, its power spread throughout the Skyrim Province. The words of a master thief might sometimes be more effective than the orders of the lord, and civilians basically did not have to worry about being stolen—
-Because all the wild thieves were taken care of by the guild, although the nobles were dissatisfied with the guild's "robbing the rich and giving to the poor", they did not dare to impose restrictions or arrest them, otherwise their pillows might disappear when they slept.
This kind of "rules" and "habits" disappeared after the Big Three disappeared inexplicably and the guilds declined at an incredible speed. So all the cities began to recast order in various ways, and most of them changed back to
Lords and nobles decide everything, and there is a strange situation in Rift Valley City where the Thieves Guild is located, where the nobles are greater than the lords.
The only exception is Windhelm City. After the power of the Thieves Guild disappeared in this city, a new underground organization emerged - "Summerset Shadows". Basically, they do everything the guild can do.
, they also did things that the guild was not allowed to do. Although Ulfric carried out several eradication campaigns, they had little effect.
Some say that its members are all high elves and were sent by Thalmor to deal with the Stormcloaks who opposed them. Others say that it is actually an extra-staff force set up by the lord of Windhelm to control the city, and its members are all lord guards.
But for Jodi, no matter who they are, it does not affect her determination to get the stolen jewelry back.
To maintain the operation of "Blonde Mantle" and to protect and support those blond women, money, materials, intelligence and force are naturally indispensable. Fortunately, as if they had been planned in advance, the abilities of the founders perfectly combined these elements.
Including it, and Jodi, as the young lady of the Kuhai family, is responsible for handing over the "materials" collected through Susanna's "intelligence" to Avalia and converting them into "money".
Although the entire organization now no longer needs to rely on a few founders, the families behind them, and the connections they have to operate normally, the sudden loss of a large amount of supplies is still a big trouble.
"Yes, I am very convinced that it was 'Summerset Shadow' who did it." Jodi slapped a pile of intelligence documents on the table. "Normally, since we transport only daily necessities and production supplies, we are in peace with each other, so we can't
I didn't pay too much attention to them. After these jewels were lost, the 'Shadow of Summer' spies that I usually see completely disappeared, which is very suspicious no matter how you look at it."
"But you have no evidence, right?" Xiaofan glanced at her.
"Uh...well...that's why I invited you here..." Jodi said coyly: "Although I know that their lair is in the mountains in the southwest, with the leader of Xia Mu Shadow, Lin Wei
'If we take action, they will run away immediately. Other ordinary jewels don't matter, but if I let him take [Azura's Star] away, I will die."
Yes, if you dare to make a deal with the devil and lose the transaction items, who else will die if you don’t die? Xiaofan will look at you sideways.
