How dare Cicero pretend to preach an imperial edict?
——4E, 201, Hearth Moon, 23rd, 6:15——
"[The most important thing in life -]" "Silence! Brother! Open the door!" "Can it still be like this? Hehehe~ (Heart)"
Southwest of Falkreath, in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, a group of Brotherhood members were gathering in the hall at a loss. They all looked relieved after hearing the sound of the black door sliding open.
Although that clown is strange, and Jeanne Darc who can beat him at will is even stranger, but they are at least the listeners and enforcers of the Night Mother, and there should be nothing wrong with listening to them on major issues.
"The leader took over the contract of 'Assassinating the Emperor' without authorization," Nazir stepped forward and said, "Please ask the Night Mother's attitude towards this matter... Where is Master Gallus?"
"He is dealing with personal emotional problems," Jeanne Darc replied: "We rushed back after receiving instructions from the Night Mother. She said-"
"Hehe~ (Spade)" Cicero smiled strangely: "Mother said, let us abandon this sanctuary immediately and move to the larger one near the Morning Star~ (Spade)"
"Is it so serious..." Nazir's eyes were a little straight.
"Why did she accept that kind of commission without authorization? That was not the Night Mother's arrangement," Jeanne Darc stared at the stack of information in Nazir's hand: "Did Astrid explain the reason in the briefing?"
"Well... yes..." Nazir lowered his head and turned two pages and read: "'Since the Night Mother has successfully arrived in Skyrim Province, the Dark Brotherhood will surely rise, so a shocking event is needed to announce that we have returned to the Skyrim Province.
On the world stage, the assassination of the emperor is a good opening act.'"
"Tsk - hee hee hee - (club)," Cicero laughed strangely: "That eldest sister just wanted to express that 'she can do great things without the night mother'~ (spade)"
"So, what do you think we should do?" Nazr looked at the other members in the hall: "Before you came back, everyone was debating between 'rush to reinforcements' and 'stand still'."
"Then you can choose the third option and move immediately." Jeanne Darc looked around the interior of the sanctuary and added before anyone raised any questions: "As for Sister Astrid, I will rescue her alone.
.”
"Hey~ (hearts)" Cicero said: "Mother asked you, how sure are you? (clubs)"
"People who are not on the Night Mother's list will naturally never die," Jeanne D'Arc gave the clown a strange look: "So, 100%."

Rift Valley City, main entrance.
After nearly two days of discussion, the Snowhoof family decided to go to Dugu City with their whole family, leaving only Amide Snowhoof to guard and inherit the villa in the Rift Valley. If Esgail really marries Her Royal Highness the Princess, then with their
It would be very embarrassing for him to continue to remain in the Stormcloak-controlled area, but as the eldest son of the lord's guard, there is no big problem.
Originally, the Snowhoof family's convoy to Dugu City only had five carriages, but at this time, more than ten carriages had gathered.
Obviously, the marriage of the princess to the heir of an established local noble has brought glory to all the nobles in Rift Valley City. Naturally, they will not consider such things as "what if the princess is kidnapped and cannot be found". She and
The actions of the emperor who is about to arrive in Skyrim Province have shown the sincerity of the royal family towards Skyrim Province, so on insignificant issues, these nobles can express their willingness to cooperate with the empire - such as using various gifts to hoof the snow.
The family's fleet has doubled.
One of these gift carriages had a few uninvited guests mixed into it.
"We can travel much faster than them on our own," Parasos said to the two princesses sitting side by side on the gift box: "If we borrow the Shadow Nightmare, the speed will be even faster."
"Parry, why are you so stupid?" Eddie glared at him: "These things are all going to Her Royal Highness the Princess, so of course you have to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from being damaged."
"But the 'princess' now is you." Parasos said to the point.
"...Help Eddie keep an eye on the bride price." Emilia directly ended their argument with one sentence.
"Okay, although I don't think any robbers or thieves would dare to attack this convoy." Parasus shrugged.
"So you're stupid," Eddie replied, "Obviously it's to prevent Ulfric's people from causing damage."
"If you say so——"
"You're just——"
"Drive!" Snap!
As the coachman climbed onto the driver's seat and without realizing it, whipped up his whip and drove the horse forward, the carriage became quiet again.
——10:57——
South of Rift Valley City, Nightingale Hall.
The new "Nightingales" are planning how to use this new base.
"First of all, the tunnel leading from the big jug here is necessary. I have found the entrance and exit of that cemetery unpleasant for a long time." Xiaofan said, "It would be best if it could be connected to Pali's villa."
Although the identities of "Emil" and "Pari" have become clear, everyone still interacted with them in the usual manner until she said goodbye in the morning. After all, a princess who would come to be a thief probably wouldn't care about those red tapes.
"The several businessmen we have contacted can also be placed here in the hall," Sapphire said: "Those idiots actually got lost in the rat track. I highly doubt it was an excuse because they didn't want to go down."
"Huh? When did you contact the sales supplier?" Xiaofan was quite surprised.
"While you were 'running out to play'." Sapphire narrowed her eyes and stared at her.
"Ahaha... Um, Illya? What do you think of the renovation here?" Xiaofan wiped his sweat and changed the subject.
When there are no outsiders, especially when Delvin Mallory is not present, Xiaofan does not always maintain an aura of "ah-so annoying." as her name suggests. In front of her friend Sapphire, she naturally
More casual.
"Well... I think we should clean out the bedroom and kitchen first. The 'big wine pot' where you usually live must be very humid, and there is no place to cook," Illya said while thinking, "Listen to what you said,
If there are businessmen moving in, the place must be cleaned and provided with a warehouse to store their goods. Furniture must be purchased and various decorations must be placed. Since the area is not considered safe, some protective magic circles must be set up. In addition, it must be cleaned.
The statue of Lady Nocturnal at the main entrance, the furnishings nearby should focus on highlighting her majesty..."
Xiaofan and Sapphire were completely dumbfounded. It wasn't until Illya's "opinions" came to an end and she tilted her head to look at them that she echoed with a few meaningless words such as "Yes, that's right."
"Then, if everyone has no objections, we will carry out the original plan. Sister Xiaofan will dig the tunnel, Sister Sapphire will contact the supplier, and I will complete the tasks I have proposed." Illya said while talking.
The Nightingale's Bow appeared in front of him, and he walked towards the entrances of the collapsed and abandoned rooms.
"Obviously, this was not deliberately taught by Aunt Sylvia. Ilia was probably just imitating her style of acting." Xiaofan was a little stunned: "This proves... that aunt is usually so resolute and thorough.
?”
"Although I'm not familiar with Gallus, I have to express sympathy for him at this moment," Sapphire looked out the door: "Didn't the three of them say they want to find a place to sort out their relationship with each other?"
——12:31——
Black light tower,restaurant.
"Well, I think the new little nightingales may need help from their seniors..." After lunch, Gallus thought about the reason for leaving.
If he faced Sylvia or Kalia alone, he would have a hundred ways to deal with them, but now when the three of them were in the same room, and the two ladies were all staring at him with piercing eyes, his usually eloquent mouth could not
It's as if it's sealed by magic and it's difficult to open.
"Except for this one, the replacement of Nightingales in the past can only be carried out after the sacrifice of the 'predecessor', and the simple familiarity with the power and the use of Nightingale Hall does not require anyone's help." Kalia, who knows the inside story better than him, is not convinced.
Moved.
Kallia is just emotionally slow due to her long lifespan, but she is not too stupid to be a nightingale. Those little girls said "Do you like Gallus" and directly lifted her seal on this aspect.
Then suddenly I realized that I, as Gallus's "childhood sweetheart", had now become the "third party"?
"Well, with the Dark Brotherhood, I still have some things to deal with..." Gallus changed the subject.
"Not only can they use the power of the Night Mother to defeat the devil, but they can also bring us back from the realm of annihilation," Sylvia sneered: "You said you wanted to clean up the mess for that girl?"
No matter who comes first, after all, Gallus has no real relationship with Kalia. Should she blame Sylvia for her own lack of enlightenment? Apart from anything else, the mere existence of Illya makes her
She has enough capital not to give in.
"Well... Also, Mercer's whereabouts are unknown..." Gallus closed his mouth mid-sentence.
Because Mercer Frey angered several demon gods, all the demon artifacts and even the power of the nightingale were taken back by them. At this time, the result of no life and no dead bodies was undoubtedly the work of the demon gods. It is said that some cruel demon gods
It allows a person to live for hundreds or even thousands of years without wanting to die. If he insists on stepping in, he is afraid that he will be given the same treatment.
But is his current situation really better than Mercer's...
——14:19——
Snap, snap, snap...
Mercer was awakened by the cold feeling crawling on his face, and he smiled bitterly without opening his eyes.
The plan failed.
Although Nocturnal has been having things stolen by his followers and seems to be the weakest among the Sixteen Demon Gods, that is just because he does not care about those things. He may be "stolen" deliberately.
.
The god-killing being behind the princess did follow her to Nocturnal's domain, but it was unexpected that Nocturnal had two more allies out of thin air.
Night, day, dawn and dusk represent Nocturnal, Meridia and Azura respectively. If he had known that these three good-natured goddesses had formed an alliance, he would have reconsidered the entire plan.
It was too late to say anything now. The unknown demon god had nothing to do but probably threw him somewhere where there was no alternation between day and night.
It seems like... some underground dwarf ruins?
The coldness crawled across his face again. Mercer sat up impatiently and slapped the dwarf spider away from his face. As soon as he raised his head, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
What is going on with this huge, deep cave, the "starry sky" on the top of the cave, and the large number of dwarf spherical guards marching forward in neat lines?!
