Perhaps due to some natural connection between father and daughter, Illya recognized Gallus from the beginning.
The sparse stubble, melancholy eyes, disheveled hair, and tasteless coat all proved that no one had taken care of his appearance, which relieved some girls who were worried that they would have an extra stepmother.
There is no doubt that his father is a member of the Dark Brotherhood, so he performed a dark ritual to be brought back by him. In this way, the reason why he left his mother in the first place is readily apparent - her mother was actually the target of one of his missions, but
The two fell in love at first sight. After his birth, his father transferred his power to him, then gave up the mission and left on the pretext of lack of strength.
Really, seeing as how my mother doesn't pay much attention to the lord's laws, she can definitely join the Dark Brotherhood with him. Are there any special requirements to join here?
After confirming that the people of the Dark Brotherhood did not intend to limit themselves, Illya began to observe the members of the Brotherhood one by one.
First of all, there is the leader of the Brotherhood, Ms. Astrid. This is a very confident person whose strength is worthy of this confidence. She can make other members subconsciously obey her command. Although her husband Einberjorn is a
He is a werewolf, but he is like an obedient puppy in front of her.
The short-haired, cold and arrogant dark elf Miss Gabriella, although she has a bit of a temper, is surprisingly a good person. She is the one who smiles at her the most among the fraternity members - except for Cicero.
Festus Krex is a traditional old mage who is always very serious and is not interested in things other than magic. He has been trying to study the automatic defense magic on Illya, or in other words, the one called "Nightingale".
force"?
Babette, who looks like a seven or eight-year-old girl, has a pet spider named "Peter". It's hard to believe that she is actually close to five hundred years old. When she appeared in the sanctuary confused,
She was taking care of herself, and they had a good relationship with each other, except that once when I asked her about her age, she simply crushed a dwarf metal plate with her bare hands.
There are also red-skinned Nazir and green-skinned Savila, who have not had much contact with each other. They are a little curious about themselves, but they seem to be deliberately keeping their distance.
As for Cicero... whenever Ilia thinks of him, she hears "Hey hey hey~" "Little Apple~" "Why so serious?" and other patterned auditory hallucinations in her ears. No wonder her father wants to run away.
"[What is the most beautiful music in life——]" The black door at the entrance of the sanctuary roared.
"It's silence." Illya replied.
"[Wrong answer——]" Black Gate fell into silence.
So, what's wrong? She clearly heard this answer when the other members entered. Illya stood stunned for a while, then turned and returned to the sanctuary hall.
"Girl, don't try. There is really no precedent for this." Ironboyn, who was attacking the target dummy with his bare hands in the public hall, said to her: "Just wait here for Master Gallus to come back."
"Hmm..." Illya shook her head.
Her father said that she was going to Markas City to persuade someone named Mu Rui. She was worried and planned to follow her, but the black door at the entrance did not allow her to go out. Even if she followed the person who went out in front, the black door
It will also lock her in very accurately, and since the body protection spell will automatically push her backwards, Carmen will not be able to do anything like that.
"Hehehe~ (Heart) This is normal~ How can you go out if you have never been in before? Come on, smile~ (Heart)." Cicero, who was talking to himself in front of the Night Mother's iron coffin, suddenly turned around and faced
She made a face.
In this way, that door actually not only functions as an entrance, but also records all the people who pass by. If you want to go out, you must have a record of entry. If you directly enter the sanctuary through some method like yourself, you will not be able to go out.
.
Hmm...somehow...Illya's eyes turned to the iron coffin of the "Night Mother".
Since he had passed out from pain at that time, he had no memory of how he appeared in the iron coffin, but judging from its huge size, even if there was a corpse inside, it would be more than enough for him.
A... corpse?
Can talk to the listener, can sense the person and the specific location of the dark ritual, and can even teleport oneself over and remove the hidden danger of his father's "Nightingale Power". Even if the "Night Mother" is not a demon or a holy spirit, it cannot be one.
An ordinary corpse.
Illya ignored the funny Cicero, walked to the Night Mother's iron coffin and stared at it quietly.
"Hey, little Apple, you can't be a listener, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible~ (Spade)" Cicero kept making weird noises next to him.
Her mother had said that, and Ilya thought unaffectedly that her problem was that her body could not withstand the witch magic from her mother and the power of the nightingale from her father. If she wanted to be completely "cured", she would either eliminate one of the powers or transform her.
own body.
At this time, the power in her body has not disappeared, which proves that she can withstand two powers at the same time with her silver-haired and red-eyed appearance. The only question is whether she will not recognize her mother when she sees her later.
"[What is the most beautiful music in life——]" The roar of the black door sounded at the entrance of the sanctuary.
"It's silence, my brother." A female voice that Ilya had never heard sounded.
"[Welcome home——]" There was the sound of the black door sliding open.
"Oh? Go to the door to greet the newcomers? (Diamonds) Okay, mother~ (Hearts) What kind of apple will it be? (Spades)" Cicero spun around, pretending to tidy up his clothes, and faced
Go to the entrance.
What's there to do with that clown suit? Illya also cast her eyes over it.
Swish—swish—a figure wearing a dark red mage robe walked in.
She seems to be a sister? Illya judged from the other person's slim figure and half of her delicate face exposed under the hood.
"Welcome to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary ~ (Spade) my sister ~ (Diamond)" Cicero said the standard Brotherhood welcome language, but deliberately adopted a weird tone: "Wei~ Tired of cutting wood~ (
Hearts)"
"Cicero! Stay away from her!" Astrid appeared on the other side of the public hall.
Ding~ Before Cicero was about to say anything, the female mage bounced a gold coin, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Due to the blessing of "Nightingale Power", Illya can clearly see that the two sides of the gold coin are not the patterns of ordinary Septim gold coins. One side is "scale" and the other side is "flame".
Bang, the woman caught the gold coin, the "balance" pointed upward, and Ilya heard her sound like "tsk".
The next moment, bursts of golden light suddenly rolled up around the female mage, accompanied by traces of icy blue lightning. However, it only lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared. When Illya looked at her again, her appearance had changed drastically.
.
It was a young woman with long blond hair, blue eyes, a well-fitting silver heavy armor, a bright metal forehead ornament, and a snow-white flag in her hand. If she appeared in any Holy Spirit God,
It must be very suitable in the temple.
"My name is Jeanne d'Arc," she gestured to everyone present one by one, her voice soft and sweet: "I came here at the invitation of Ms. Astrid. It's great to meet you."
"...Who are you?" Astrid was rushing towards her quickly, but after hearing the words, he froze on the spot.
Is there something wrong? This sister looks very polite? Illya looked around at the fraternity members who were stunned in various forms.
No, wait...this is the "Dark Brotherhood" where assassins gather.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! (Hearts)" Cicero laughed wildly: "This is so interesting! (Hearts) There is a 'saint' from the Dark Brotherhood? Don't worry, mother~ I will adjust it well -
—”
Ding~ The coin flew up again. This time, before it could fall, a hand with heavy black armor gloves pinched it in the air, and then punched Cicero, who seemed to have something to say.
"Uh-huh!?" Cicero flew backwards and hit the wall, then bounced back to the lady's feet.
Snap, a jet-black heavy-armored boot stepped on the dizzy Cicero.
"It's so noisy." Jeanne Darc's voice did not change, but her tone became sinister and impatient.
Only then did Illya notice that the light group that had just disappeared appeared again, this time it was emitting colorful light, and what it spread around was the illusion of feathers.
The originally white heavy armor turned dark in this light, and Ms. Jeanne Darc's original blond hair and blue eyes also turned into pale short hair and dark golden eyes like a giant dragon. The whole person exuded a...
The smell of danger.
I always feel like...are the lights reversed these two times?
"Long time no see, Jeanne," Ms. Astrid looked relieved when she saw her like this: "Welcome to our big family."
"If your 'family' is full of people like this, I will not accompany you." Jeanne d'Arc looked at Cicero, who was saying "hey hey hey" even though he was stepped on by her.
"Well... I think you 'Sino Scholars' know something about the 'Night Mother'. He is the 'Listener'." Astrid explained.
"This is really the worst class of listeners she has ever had." Jeanne moved her feet.
"Hey hey hey~ This new lady (Hearts), my mother has just released a large number of assassination lists, (Spades) do you want to listen?" Cicero got up quickly, and then poked his ear.
"I guess you've been saving it for a long time." Astrid snorted.
"These targets are all from Markarth City (spade). I guess it's Gallus who caused some trouble~ (square)" Cicero said while reading quickly: "Adventurer Io
La, the butcher Honey Redarm, the beggar Banning, the magician Nimferas, the miner Sangyan, and the hawker Lisbet~(Hearts)"
"Well..." Astrid pondered.
"I, I want to go too!" After Illya heard that something might happen to Gallus, she immediately volunteered herself before Astrid decided on the person to be executed.
