"Hmph, you can follow that black-skinned elf, but the condition is that I have to follow too."
"This...Sil..."
"What? The blonde girl and the clown who can't stop laughing can go, but I can't?"
"Hey hey hey~(heart)"
I looked at the sitcom in front of me and wanted to sigh.
Ilya successfully persuaded her mother to "let go", but with her emotional slowness, when she said "that's the secret between dad and Aunt Kaliya", what kind of ending will happen?
It's already been decided.
Gallus was secretive, but what Sylvia must have wanted to know was not that complicated at all.
The place "Twilight Tomb" is the earthly kingdom of the Lady of the Night [Nocturnal]. Judging from the internal layout, it is probably the patron saint of thieves who was lazy and copied a Nord tomb somewhere, and then
After a little decoration, it was taken out for use.
If you want to enter there, as they analyzed one by one, you must be able to move between light and darkness. The reason is also very simple. The "Twilight Grave" itself is a test question for selecting nightingales. If you want to pass through it, you must
You have to pass various trials of light and shadow. If you are particularly biased towards one side, you will easily get stuck before certain trials, but you can ask friends who are biased towards the other side to help.
When they became Nightingales, it was Gallus and Calia who completed the trial together, but Mercer Frey passed it alone, so the "God's Favor" or "Nightingale Power" he obtained was greater than the other two.
They are all strong, so when Mercer betrayed them and took action against them, they were in a one-sided crushing state.
Even if you can pass the trial, there is still another problem. Stepping into the "earthly kingdom" of a demon god is actually similar to entering his realm of annihilation. It is basically entrusting your life to the hands of that demon god.
As the former Nightingales, Luce and Kalia will not be punished too severely. Illya, the successor of the Nightingale's power, will have no problem, but Sylvia will be in trouble. The devil will not care about the kinship of mortals.
Relationship, in fact, some demons, such as Boethia, are also keen on encouraging fratricide - although I have already dealt with this, and [Nocturnal] does not seem to have such a bad hobby.
As for Joan of Arc and Cicero, the "Night Mother" has already sent an oracle to protect them~
[A demon god ensures the safety of his followers in the realm of another demon god. This level of provocation is second only to a direct declaration of war, right?]
'Didn't I declare war on everyone from the beginning? In addition to those who retreated, those who formed alliances, and those who were defeated, there were also people like [Nocturnal] who were hiding and planning to survive in the finals. Why not use some tricks?
Maybe catch him out?'
[But if you still can’t figure it out before dusk, Mercer is about to go in, and you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to open it next time.]
'Hmm... indeed.'
On the other side, Xiaofan, Emil and Parasos were quite fast and could arrive before dusk if nothing else happened, but they completely missed Delphine and Isbon who were slightly off the route.
After the encounter between Mercer and Delphine, perhaps judging from the fact that she was wearing Blade Warrior armor, she had been fully tracked, so she gave up her original short-distance leapfrog action method and switched to space teleportation with a long distance and a long cooling time.
, directly threw away the pursuers, but this allowed the "Demon Hand" to clearly locate the location of each teleportation, and would not lose him.
At this time, Mercer Frey and the princess stand-in were camping in front of a dilapidated Nord tomb waiting for sunset. The tomb was very ordinary and had been completely "cleaned" by adventurers and tomb robbers, leaving it completely unexplored.
value, but when the sun sets and the last rays of light shine on this Nord Tomb, a new gate will appear next to its original entrance, and that is the real entrance to the "Twilight Tomb".
So, [Nocturnal] is so lazy that it doesn't even own the entrance.
"You, it's too late for you to let me go now." Although Eddie Septim was a little panicked, he was generally calm and could continue to play the role of the princess: "If something happens to me, you-"
"If I fail, your fate will not be much better," Mercer interrupted her: "Now that you are here, I hope you know what you should do."
"Well..." Since similar conversations had occurred several times along the way, this was obviously not a person who cared about the power of the empire or the identity of the princess, so Eddie did not continue to argue.
To me, Mercer's behavior is completely incomprehensible. He stole the Demon God's things. For some reason, the Demon God never came to settle the score with him. He just wanted to enjoy it secretly. He actually planned to take [Nocturnal]
Kill?
[If successful, the new Lady of the Night will have a new artifact, and she will no longer miss his "Skull Key"]
'But he also took [Azura's Star], won't it be 'disappeared'?'
[It seems that Azula has been hiding for a long time in order to avoid meeting you - so Mercer's intuition is quite accurate]
I perfectly avoided the demon god thrones that are now under my control, and then went to find the trouble of two demon gods who didn't dare to take the lead... It was indeed accurate.
As for other aspects, Arthur and Galeb will have to wait until tomorrow to counterattack the Twilight City, and the Emperor will arrive in Skyrim even later, so currently only the main plot of Nocturnal can be followed up.
.
"Sister Joan of Arc? Let's go."
I was observing other events and chatting casually with the stupid system, but the people here seemed to be in a daze, so after a preliminary compromise was reached, Illya came over and pulled my arm.
"Oh, okay." I nodded in response.
——17:10——
In the end, Sylvia accepted the condition that she was allowed to follow, but she was not told the specific details. If she did not pass the "test", she would leave immediately, and Illya could explain to her afterwards.
The "Twilight Tomb" is located near Falkreath in the southwest, while the Blacklight Tower is on the outskirts of the Rift Valley. If they use conventional travel methods, it will take two days to arrive no matter how fast they are, although they don't know how far away Mercer is from the Dusk Tomb.
It was very close, but this did not prevent the two former nightingales from making the decision to arrive as soon as possible through the "Nightingale Hall".
"Nightingale Hall" is located in the mountains south of the Rift Valley, and its level is much lower than "Dusk Grave". Although it is possible to communicate with Nocturnal there, it is more often used as a secret base for the Nightingales.
Therefore, it is not the strong men of the Thieves Guild who are called Nightingales, but the Nightingales established the Thieves Guild and allowed the best among them to participate in the trial of light and shadow. Those who successfully pass can take over the identity of the old Nightingale after he retires - sounds like
It feels similar to the inheritance method of the demon god. [Nocturnal] is indeed a lazy demon god.
"This is the 'Nightingale Stone'," Kalia said, standing in front of a black boulder two people high. "After touching it, if you get permission, you can see our destination."
The dark elf touched the boulder, then turned and walked towards the mountain wall not far away, disappearing into thin air after two steps.
Of course, she didn't disappear, she just passed through a special magic circle. I could clearly see the entrance to the hall like a casually dug storage room. The first batch of nightingales were probably because they couldn't stand the night.
This is a thieves guild created by ladies because of their laziness.
Although Calia didn't say whose permission he got, or what would happen if he forced his way through, generally no one would dare to act recklessly in such mysterious events that obviously involve the devil.
"Speaking of which, I was also near here when I first met you..." Sylvia glanced at Gallus thoughtfully, then walked forward and touched the black stone.
This black stone is not a real black stone, but a collection of some kind of divine power. If any living creature comes into contact with it, it will check whether it exists in the "friendly" database. If so, it will
The defensive measures of the magic circle are lifted. If not, continue to search whether it exists in the "enemy" database. If so, convert divine power to attack it. If it is still no, do nothing.
Of course, this is just a principle, and it is probably not a database that stores black and white lists.
Bang, Sylvia's hand is pressed on the black stone. If it is according to the original setting, she must be two Nos, and nothing will happen. But the problem is that [Nocturnal] is a bit too lazy. This kind of
The list should obviously be updated at any time, but He actually stored it in the Black Stone. As a result, it took less than a second for me to add Sylvia to the white list through remote control.
"Oh, is this your secret base?" Sylvia turned to look at Kalia, and in her surprised eyes, she crossed the magic barrier in a few steps.
"I want to play too!" Illya ran over and touched the black stone, and successfully passed through the barrier.
Then came Gallus, who hurried in because he was worried about a fight inside.
"Hey hey hey~ (Heart)" Cicero refused to enter as expected, but I still changed the list and put him in.
[Are you going to cause trouble?] Stupid System said very keenly.
'Don't you want to know how the people on the blacklist react after touching it?' I eagerly stretched out my hand to touch the stone, preparing whether it detected that I was "Jeanne Darc" or "Zela Pesh".
They are all directly thrown into the blacklist.
[I know, it just spawned a few ancient nightingale ghosts to attack.] The stupid system replied: [You can find out if you want to know, you don’t have to take the initiative to touch it.]
'No sense of adventure!'
While complaining about it, I raised my hand and pressed the Nightingale Stone.
Crack-crack!
It broke.
[When you just discovered that you can change its data at will, you should have known that there would be such a result, right? 】
