I swear I didn't interfere with these coincidences.

By cooperating with the wrong people at the wrong time to implement the wrong plan, the Thieves Guild may be in trouble this time.
At the port of Dugu City, on the roof of the East Empire Company warehouse, Parasos, who had changed into a gray leather armor, thought so.
He had already put the "Blue Balmoral" into the cargo hold of the light cargo ship "Elegant Steady", but was not optimistic about Baron Aricourt's plan of "ordering the guards to raid".
This cargo ship, owned by the Eastern Empire Company and theoretically owned by Princess Amelia, had not attracted the attention of Sharp-Eyed Eagle before, even though it was the most profitable fleet in the company - because the princess had no interest in those fleets at all.
Interest, even close, let alone the possibility of getting on the ship.
When Parasos was "ordered" to investigate it, he discovered that the ship owner was very thoughtful. He did not transport large quantities of goods with low profits but stable enough like other fleets. Instead, he relied on his speed and flexibility to focus on
Speculation, each time, even the same shipment may be different. After arriving at the destination, sort and sell them according to prior investigation, leaving a time lag that other people have no time to react. Even if someone is watching him doing the same thing, it is very difficult.
You may lose a lot of money because the only gap is filled.
If Baron Ericur's plan succeeds and he takes stock of this fleet, just submitting and reviewing the trade plan according to the process will let the fleeting business opportunities slip away. When the actual approval comes back and he is allowed to go to sea, the same
A business may go from a pot of gold to a complete loss.
However, anyway, it was Baron Ericul himself who showed up. Even if he failed, it was his own failure. The Thieves Guild's mission of "Placing Blue Balmorra" can be regarded as a perfect success.
For now, the more important thing is to listen to the lord's reaction to "that incident". The kind of substitute that can be easily distinguished by acquaintances is actually regarded as the real person by Esgail Snowhoof, which shows that there is no relationship between them.
What a profound connection, maybe it's just Snow Hoof's unrequited love, but it still needs to be confirmed.
Parasos jumped off the roof and rushed towards Dugu City from the main road.
——18:52——
"According to my analysis, Mercer Frey's target is probably 'your' Eastern Empire Company."
"……Um."
The sun has set in the west, and the sunset has illuminated the entire Dugu City port and the sea around it in a golden color. If ordinary people looked at the Sea of the Dead at this time, they would probably be dizzy by the golden light.
Xiaofan and Emil, on the other hand, stepped on the roof of the warehouse and approached the pier completely unaffected. The setting sun and the golden light reflected from the sea were absorbed into the dagger wrapped in gauze around Xiaofan's waist when they approached them.
Although it looked ugly, Xiaofan had no choice but to do this because the sword started to glow on its own after it got dark.
As the saying goes, "When the house leaks, it rains continuously." Not only did she obtain the artifact that disrupted the stealth, but she also disabled the "Demon Hand" used to find Mercer - it will now point firmly at the "Dawnbreaker".
However, since Mercer set out ahead of them, he must have arrived at Dugu City. However, due to the palace mage Sibili, he definitely did not dare to use a combination of magic artifacts with large magic fluctuations, and could only quietly use [Skeleton]
Key's ability to open locks.
The plan was to search for Mercer among the onlookers when the lame drama "Princess Tribulation Field" was performed, but an unexpected spoiler appeared. In order to avoid being discovered, they sneaked away before the sharp-eyed hawks gathered.
gone.
Emil, or Princess Emilia Septim, was originally taciturn, but after witnessing the actions of the silly boy from the Snowhoof family, she seemed to be thinking about something and became even more silent. Xiaofan looked at her intently for a while.
Continue to analyze.
"Judging from the fact that he can use two demonic artifacts at the same time to achieve a weird 'teleportation' effect, Mercer must be looking for more demonic artifacts, but most of the demonic artifacts are personally controlled by their owners, as if they were randomly discarded."
It can be said that there are very few magical artifacts such as Azura's Star] and the [Skull Key] that he stole using some method. However," Xiaofan pointed to the warehouse below and the returning ship: "In your
In the Eastern Empire Company, there are transaction records for at least two magic artifacts - although they were determined only after the fact, they were Clavicus Vile's [Persuasion Mask] and Sanguine's
【Bloody Rose】.”
"...So?" Emil blinked.
"So we will stay here during this period, unless we find Mercer or are sure that he has succeeded and left," Xiaofan said angrily: "Or do you plan to go back and be your princess?"
"...No." Emil replied immediately without thinking.
The silly boy from the Snow Hoof family was quite lethal. Xiaofan curled her lips. At this moment, from the corner of her eye, she noticed an arrogant nobleman leading a group of guards who seemed to be reluctant to surround them.
A fast sailing ship, vaguely heard words such as "Ericure", "Balmoral", "medicine", "inspection" and "force".
"It's probably the conflicts and tricks between the nobles. 'Her Royal Highness', look - huh?" When Xiaofan turned around, she found that Emil had disappeared.
——19:38——
"Sir Supreme King Toig, please feel free to leave Emil to me. I will definitely make her happy!"
In the Blue Palace Council Hall, Esgail Snowhoof held the hand of "Princess Amelia" and bowed solemnly to Toig, Toig, the blond Alisif and the steward Foko Fire.
Hu Du's face was full of expressions, while Bogel Bearclaw, who was still wearing the uniform of the Sharp-Eyed Eagle, had the same expressionless expression as the court mage Sibili Stent.
"Uh, Ai, Emilia, what can you say?" Toig spent a long time trying to figure out what to say, and finally turned his attention to "Princess Emilia".
"I always thought that I was not interested in love and marriage because I was in the Blue Palace and met so many outstanding men. But it wasn't until I met Esgail that I realized that I just hadn't met the right person~" "Ai
"Princess Milia" said in an aria-like tone: "I would like to be his wife, please allow Master Toig."
"Haha." Esgail giggled.
That's enough... Toeg would rather have Ulfric come back and give him another dragon roar so that he can lie down in the back house for a few months.
Emilia Septim is a princess! Princess, do you understand? When asking to marry her, you should not ask the High King of Skyrim, but go to Cyrodiil, the capital of the empire, instead of proposing marriage to the emperor! And don’t pretend to be a princess.
By "marrying" you, you want to be naturalized as a royal! And the most critical problem is that this stupid girl who wants to marry you is not a princess at all!
Toig wanted to roar out these words, but in the end he just turned back weakly and asked his wife sitting behind his throne: "Alysif, what do you think?"
"Isn't that pretty good?" The blond Alisif smiled.
How could he have forgotten his wife's personality of not taking things too seriously... Toig's eyes turned to the dull-eyed steward, the expressionless chief guard and the court mage.
"Your Majesty the Supreme King, the marriage between our Snowhoof family and Miss Emile's full name from the 'Fill in according to your own investigation' family is an important factor in maintaining the peace and stability of Skyrim Province. If you show disapproval of most of the nobles of Skyrim Province in this matter,
The goodwill of the class, and there must be no actual conflict, they are willing to mediate the battle between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks, turning the real war into a dispute on the negotiation table, which is a matter for everyone
Good thing, you don't have to worry about Thalmor. As the birthplace of mankind, Skyrim has a hundred ways to prevent those elves from coveting this place." Esgail took the opportunity to take out a piece of paper and began to read.
"'Emilia', I think you should be very clear about the meaning, consequences and price of your choice." Toig sighed and said to the "Princess" in a deep voice: "I hope you will not regret it."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty," "Emilia" nodded: "Although I was a little stupid because I fell in love, I still insisted on this decision after carefully considering all the factors that would affect it."
"Mr. Snowhoof, please go and rest," Toig said weakly, "The process of marrying a princess is very complicated, and we have to plan it carefully."
"Emil~ I'll come back to you tomorrow~" Esgail happily waved to "Emilia" when he was led to the guest room by Bogail.
"Hey..." Toig looked at "Emilia" distressed and sighed: "The princess will probably be angry."
"I actually want to see her angry, but maybe she will be very happy after knowing this." "Emilia" shook her head slightly.
Eddie Septim, the maid brought by Princess Emilia from the Capital Province, is also the adopted daughter given the surname by His Majesty the Emperor. It is absolutely correct to say that she is a princess, and because she grew up with Princess Emilia, she is not
People who are familiar with it can't tell the difference at all, but the princess herself has no talent for sneaking, illusions, and daggers. She can only occasionally show up for Emilia when she runs out to play for too long, even though she is lying.
Not really engaged in intelligence, but enough to appease the people. Such behavior has never gone wrong before - until today.
"You and Ali Silver should discuss the relevant details. I really have a headache and I need to go to rest first." Toig shook his head, pressed his forehead and got up and walked towards the back house of the Blue Palace.
——19:51——
"roll!"
After finishing the impromptu meeting about the "Princess", Sybil Stent left the council hall and walked slowly to his room. When he was passing by the corridor by the window, he suddenly heard a loud roar, and a strong electric current hit someone lying outside the window.
The black shadow was directly shaken away. After the black shadow rolled to the ground, it quickly disappeared before the guards could surround it.
"Ah, I was worried about how I would show up if you never found him." Shortly after the black shadow disappeared, Parasos came in from the window.
"Why do you think I opened the sound shielding barrier after Toig opened the snow hoof?" Sibili looked at him and said, "Where is the princess?"
"Master of the Thieves Guild, she's much better at it than I am, and if she doesn't show up on her own initiative, no one can find her, right?" Parasos shrugged: "I'm just saying, the princess and that big black guy are just
We met once, and it's probably just love at first sight and unrequited love. If you want to make up for it and marry Eddie by mistake, the princess will probably be angry."
"Love at first sight." The court mage repeated: "The feelings are incredible."
"Why do I feel like you are missing someone?" Parasos asked desperately.
boom--
Someone flew out of the silent barrier with lightning, fire and ice.
