It was dusk, and I had already used Joan of Arc's vest to lead Illya and Cicero to the lair of the mastermind of the "Hall of the Dead Corpse Destruction Incident". As expected, that man had a bad head and actually asked the Brotherhood to assassinate him.
My sister, Mu Rui, was naturally easily deceived by Eola who was hiding in the Hall of the Dead.
After Iola left, Mu Rui used provocation and inducement to get Verulus, the guard of the Hall of the Dead, to leave Markarth City with her to "eliminate the criminals of the corpse destruction incident."
This man-eating mission is recognized as one of the three most disgusting missions in The Elder Scrolls 5. The other two are the Boethia mission in which one of his followers is killed in the plot, and the Sanguine drunk mission, which is extremely horrifying.
However, judging from the current appearance of the "Crow Hag", Sangjian's mission probably cannot be called disgusting.
The realm that Namira governs is "darkness", which is different from the "darkness" caused by light like Nocturnal and Azura. She is committed to causing negative emotions in humans, so the priesthood and the ugly and weird
Related to insects, decay, and diseases with nausea symptoms.
'These priesthoods...if I hadn't gone to FZ for a tour, they would probably belong to me.'
[The first person you came into contact with in FZ was Mr. Chong. Isn’t it clear what field you should be in charge of? 】
'You deserve a beating, right?'
I forcibly silenced the stupid system, while Mu Rui and Verulus also cooperated with each other to clean up the corpses in the cave. I began to think about what to do after a while.
Although this side mission seems to be just a story about a low-profile female version of Hannibal, it actually involves the reverse of the law of causality to a certain extent, because it mentions the past of the "protagonist" in the plot for the first time.
In other missions, the "Dragonborn" controlled by the player can be lawful and good, or chaotic and evil. Sometimes they value honor more than life, and sometimes they do anything for money, but those actions all affect the future. Only under the control of the demon god Namira
In this mission, the final choice will cause changes in the "past".
That is, whether this "Dragonborn" had ever been Hannibal before he was captured in Helgen.
Looking at the entire mission process, if the "protagonist" has never eaten anyone, it is absolutely impossible for him to kill Verulus and eat it naturally and then get the Ring of Namira. Without the player's God's perspective, who knows what he will get.
Demonic artifact reward and a follower?
Pretending to cooperate, instead of killing Verulus when the ceremony reaches the final stage, he suddenly kills Iola and other participants. This is the most marginal ending for a protagonist who has never done that. As long as Verulus dies.
, the world line will switch directly to the branch where "the protagonist is a former Hannibal, but has forgotten it".
Hmm... Steins;Gate's Choice.
Of course, that was the situation in the original game. In this world where I exist, Arthur, whose past is not completely blank, even if he really triggers this mission, it will not have any impact on his clear past, let alone him.
Not long ago, I was beating up Lao Du in the snowy fields in the north.
As for Mu Rui Shattered Shield, who is clearly on the road to getting the Ring of Namira... I can only say it again, he is indeed a person stupid enough to hire the Brotherhood to assassinate his sister.
——18:36——
"Well done, my sister."
Deep in the nameless cave, Mu Rui and Broken Shield cooperated with Verulus to successfully defeat the ghoul overlord entrenched here. Immediately afterwards, Iola walked out of the shadows in the corner.
If you see her on the streets of the city, almost no one will pay much attention to it, because she looks like a very ordinary adventurer, but she hides quietly in deep caves, and when she suddenly appears and speaks, she is scary.
too much.
"You have cleaned up the hostess's sacred place and brought fresh food. It seems you are qualified enough to participate in this dinner." She said.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Those corpses - and the party? No, I want to leave immediately." Verulus seemed to notice the strange atmosphere, took a few steps back, turned around and ran away.
"The 'main course' can't leave without permission." Iola took out a staff from behind and pointed it at Verulus. Without chanting, a bolt of lightning-like white light flew out from the head of the staff and accurately hit him from behind.
he.
"Ah...I am..." Verulus turned around with dull eyes.
"Follow me." Aiola hooked her fingers at him.
"Oh..." The priest of Akai followed unsteadily.
Mu Rui looked at him, as if she couldn't bear it, but remained silent in the end.
"Is that a 'calm spell' that makes the enemy stop fighting? But the effect doesn't seem right?" Ilia, who was invisible, asked doubtfully.
"Hehehe~ (Spade) If it involves the devil or the Holy Spirit, the magic effect cannot be judged by common sense~ (Heart)" Cicero answered.
"Yeah," I had previously forcibly changed the soft voice spell used to assist stealth into a silent spell that prevents the sound of conversations from being transmitted outside the range. I was convinced: "Follow me."
There is actually a bit of personal grudge in this incident: Akai, as the Holy Spirit in charge of death, has no good feelings towards Namira, the demon god who blasphemes death. They have had conflicts that have lasted for thousands of years and no one can do anything about the other, which ultimately resulted in
The result is that if Namira does something, the victims are usually Akai's priests, and if any of Namira's followers are found out, Akai will definitely help.
Click, click, click—
Iola activated a mechanism at the end of the cave, and a secret door disguised as a rock wall slid open to the side, revealing a large cave behind it, and then brought Mu Rui and the unconscious Weilu with her.
Ruth walked inside.
Since the secret door did not close on its own, we followed in quietly.
The interior decoration of this cave is similar to a temple of the Holy Spirit. Many long stone benches fixed to the ground surround an iron altar. On the altar as wide as a long table stands a strange-shaped statue. Look.
It looks like a twisted six-clawed giant insect poking out its mouthparts.
"Lie down." Iola walked to the altar and ordered Verulus.
"Oh..." Verulus' mind became even more confused after entering the secret room. He staggered up to the altar and lay just below the "mouthparts."
"Hmm~(plum blossom)" Cicero touched his chin and looked at the sculpture: "What if that thing bites off in one bite? (plum blossom)"
"Please don't say anything-" Illya has been hiding behind me since entering the secret room. I have to say that this is indeed the safest place.
"The banquet has been set, now we need to entertain the guests~" Aiola chuckled and stepped forward to do something on the altar, so two secret doors were opened on the rock wall on the other side of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, several people who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time walked in one after another.
I stared at the names above the heads of those people and confirmed them one by one: Honey Red Arm, Banning, Nimferas, Sand Rock, Gallus, and Lisbet.
All of them cannot be saved...wait?
"Is this really here? I feel weird." "Believe me, my friend, this is the most delicious food you have ever tasted in your life."
Gallus and Sang Yan, dressed as the Forsworn, were having a conversation with each other, clearly treating each other as a fool.
'Hey, stupid system?'
[Sang Yan is one of the Forsworn people rescued by Gallus. He deceived him under the pretext of "introducing the Forsworn people's traditional delicacies." Besides, I'm not stupid. 】
"Everyone," Iola said loudly, standing in front of the altar, "let us welcome our new friend, she has brought us a big meal~"
"Oh!" "He's a priest? Not bad, not bad." The unknown crowd was very happy.
"So where is the dinner?" "Don't worry, my friend, you will see it soon. This is just a pre-dinner performance." Gallus and Sang Yan were still playing with each other.
"Now, kill him." Aiola ordered Mu Rui with a cold tone.
"I...I can..." Mu Rui picked up the dagger she carried with her and walked towards the altar with a slight trembling.
"Hey, are there going to be people killed over there?" "It's fake, my friend, it's just a show."
"[Stop Du Rui's murder of Verulus]." I gave instructions to Cicero through the Night Mother channel, and then began to prepare a large group fear spell. You must know that this group of people includes both mages and archers.
It would be troublesome if it affected Priest Akai who was lying on the altar.
Cicero let out a hey, and kept sneaking towards the altar. The blue shadows around him, representing the invisible state, shone brightly in the starlight.
...Wait, Starlight?
I looked up and saw that I was in a cave, but I saw the sky. It should be dusk outside, but what I saw now was a sky full of stars, and a huge golden planet was shining with dazzling light.
Whose Holy Spirit is this? Do you take Akatosh seriously?
[Um... Strictly speaking, you are just the former saint of Akatosh. It is completely impossible for them to see through the identity of the vest. ]
[Tip: The Holy Spirit of Art and Beauty, the Goddess of War and Love, DiBella.]
There is obviously something wrong with this priesthood!
"[Angalta Kigalse (Angalta Kigalse)!]"
Huge and dense golden spears of light fell from the sky. It was not until they appeared inside the cave through the illusory sky that the giant insect sculpture on the steel altar just discovered it and raised its mouthparts. However, it was too late to make any reaction and was killed by the giant insect that fell from the sky.
After that, it shrank a lot, and the intensive attacks that had turned into "light rain" were pierced through a sieve.
The real "Fight of the Gods".
[Wake up, you are also a ‘god’]
'Shut up and watch the show!'
After being pierced by the light rain, a vague female figure appeared on the giant metal insect. She only appeared for a moment, and disappeared immediately before I could see her specific appearance and attire.
[Tip, Namira was defeated]
[Tip: Obtain the doomsday element: decay]
[Tip: Obtain the priesthood: ‘Disease’, ‘Regret’, ‘Neglect’]
Can I not lick this bag? Where is the "discard" option?
"[How pitiful, Namira, where do you get the confidence to do something small next to my temple? Now even Lord Akatosh will not have any objection to my actions~]" Guangyu said again
They gathered together, and then, a voice that felt inexplicably familiar sounded.
No, I actually had some objections, but now my interest in the appearance of the "Beautiful God" overwhelms other emotions, so like everyone else present, I turned my head to look at the place where the sound came from.
As expected, what appeared there was a young woman with an excellent figure but also very few clothes. She had long black hair, scarlet eyes, and wore a gold crown with a huge ruby on her head. Her body coverage was minimized.
Her clothes were made of gold rims and black bottoms, and there was a giant blue double-stringed bow as big as two of her suspended next to her, decorated with many golden stars.
...Well, I have to say that the statues in the temple are completely different.
"[Haha~ I am the goddess of beauty Dibella~ Be fascinated by me, believe in me, worship me~]" She said while giving me a wink.
'...Speaking of which, if I defeat a Holy Spirit, can I take her priesthood?'
[Calm down, she is looking at Illya.]
"Dad!" Illya completely ignored DiBella and rushed directly towards Gallus who had fallen over there.
Hmm? What about the loveless curse we promised?
[Tip: Dibella attaches divine power to Gallus in the form of a curse. After being treated with the breath of ‘Alexstrasza’, he can use it to appear once, but the curse will be completely consumed. 】
Blame me?
While complaining, I noticed that DiBella stared at Illya for a while, then yawned and disappeared. It was only then that the people who were suppressed calmed down.
"Come on and smile~ (Hearts)" Cicero held the magic poker in his hand and scratched it towards Iola's throat.
I've thought about it!
When the poker was only 0.01 centimeters away from Iola's throat, a large number of dark spears suddenly appeared from the ground and pierced all the low-level Hannibals.
Under Cicero's sad eyes, I slowly sheathed my sword.
[Send them all to Atayumu? The demon-forbidden prison there is not full yet? 】
