Chapter 397 1.396 Shadowscale
"What's wrong?" the housekeeper asked hurriedly.

"It's... the murderous aura from the Black Swamp." Dragon Slayer Demon Sword Iriles seemed to sense the aura of a former companion.

"Everyone be careful." Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret jumped off the deck directly.The power of the void released by the flickering magic ring protected her from landing safely.

Holding his right hand empty, the Divine Light Titan Warhammer appeared out of thin air accompanied by a rapidly extending arcane engraved line: "Come out, crawler of the mud."

"Stop, I mean nothing." Seeing that the Shenguang Titan's war hammer was about to fall heavily, a dull voice sounded from the excavated mound.Followed by an Argonian wearing a Dark Brotherhood assassin suit, he quickly emerged from the mound.

"Good day, lady. I am Veezara. I have been a member of the Dark Brotherhood since the day I was hatched, and the last Shadowscale of Black Marsh. You see, I was born under the sign of Shadow. I Serving Astrid and the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, life is so simple and beautiful." While patting the dirt on his body, he chattered about introducing himself.

Shadowscales (Shadowscales) is a subordinate organization of the Dark Brotherhood, its members are Argonians, and its training base is in the Black Swamp.After completing all the training, members of the Shadowscale who survive to adulthood can join the Dark Brotherhood.

They also worship Sithis, the father of fear.According to some unverified sources, the ancient Argonians fell because their "scales were darkened by the touch of Sitis".Shadowscales are also a law enforcement tool in the Black Marsh, enforcing "swamp laws" against unruly outlanders and natives alike.

In many cases, Shadowscale does not strictly abide by the Dark Five rules traditionally followed by members of the Brotherhood. They have a different set of Black Marsh laws.For example, shadowscales cannot kill companions, even if they are not members of the Brotherhood.Violating the Brotherhood's tenets, however, would have sparked the wrath of Sithis, but if Shadescale and his family survived the bloody punishment that Sithis unleashed, forgiveness was a possible outcome.But if Shadowscale violates the tenets of Black Marsh, it will be regarded as treason and punished with death, and there will be no forgiveness.This is usually carried out by a shadowscale assassin unrelated to the traitor sent by the wurronic royal house of Black Marsh.Even during the assassination contract, Shadowscale would generally kill the target in the most humane way. Torture and massacres that have nothing to do with the contract are usually not welcomed by Shadowscale.Unless there is a specifically stated slaughter clause in the contract, Shadowscale will reluctantly execute it.

Among common Argonian tribes, especially Black-Tongues, shady scales are held in high esteem.While all tribes in Black Marsh participate in the cultivation of shadow scales, the Black Tongue tribe values ​​this tradition the most and spends a lot of energy on cultivating shadow scales.It is also well known that some Shadowscales opposed the Ebonheart Pact signed in the Second Age out of hatred for their former slave masters, and some even defected and fled Black Marsh.Scattered across the continent of Tamriel.

Shadowscales are called "Ku-Vastei" by the inhabitants of Black Marsh, meaning "the catalyst of needed change."Argonians believe that death is more than the end of everything.It is a form of change.Could be the start of "one loop and turn again".That is the so-called "samsara".

As Assassins, they are called upon to cause social change by sowing death.Blessed to live to an advanced age, Shadowscale learned to serve as Kuvaste in addition to killing, sharing their wisdom with the denizens of Black Marsh.The people of Black Marsh also like to believe that Shadowscale will keep things in their natural order.

As for the "Astrid" in the mouth of Vaisala Shadowscale, she is the female leader of the currently feared Dark Brotherhood.Rumor has it that she is still a ruthless, scheming, ungrateful, and jealous femme fatale, who even tried to assassinate the emperor Titus Mead II.

She joined the Dark Brotherhood at a very young age.It is said that when she killed the uncle who molested her, she discovered that she was very talented in this area.Because of her beauty, she was often molested by men, so she joined the Dark Brotherhood all the way, and finally became the female leader.

"You said you serve Astrid." Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret discovered the deep meaning hidden in his words: "So, do you also serve the Night Mother?"

"Of course not, ma'am." Argonian assassin Vaisala quickly shook her head, "I only serve Astrid."

"So, it was Astrid who asked you to dig this ancient ruin." Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret retracted the warhammer into the void.

"Wow... you are indeed the last deep elf dragon knight in the sky." The Argonian assassin Vaisala was amazed at the void power that Ashtaret casually cast: "As you can see, these days are indeed I'm digging a hole. Although the hard frozen ground has worn my claws, it's not delayed."

"Okay, Vaisala." As the last deep elf of Skyrim, Ashtaret was also full of kindness towards the last shadow scale of Skyrim: "Master will be here soon, what do you have to say?"

"My mistress is waiting for Baron Ximu in the underground hall." Vaisala, the Argonian assassin who only serves the female leader of the Dark Brotherhood, has another mission: "Please rest assured, ma'am. The thieves nearby and the ghouls underground All rest in peace."

"Wait a minute, Vaisala." Ashtaret sent the message back with psychic skills.

The Storm Prospect flying over the ruins dropped its anchor and plunged heavily into the frozen ground.Driven by the steam gear, it descends slowly.The airbags also start venting excess steam outwards.

Soon, the airship landed firmly next to the ruins.

The planks of the boat were lowered, and Mrs. Gises Ying walked to the ground surrounded by Lord Ximu.The airship squatting on the hard frozen soil is like a war bunker armed to the teeth.Whether it is the brass ballista on the array deck or the Brighton sharpshooter on the watchtower, they are all powerful forces for defending against attacks.It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a strong ship and a sharp gun.Just imagine, a small group of enemies is difficult to capture.Even in a tight siege, as long as the air bag is inflated, it can rise from the ground and escape from the sky.

What's more, the dharma ring engraved on the hull already possesses powerful protection.Especially after the Day of the Crash, the sky was torn apart by annihilation, and the Dwemer airship added great assistance to the lord's expedition.

Wu Chen walked down the door of the tomb on the lowest floor along the simple wooden ladder built by the Shadowscale Assassin.The black iron gate has also been pried open by Argonian assassin Vaisala.The two major skills of lockpicking and stealth are necessary specialization skills for assassins and thieves.Many seemingly untouched ancient tombs have been looted and excavated, and they are the masterpieces of these people.

When the lord walked into the warm and bright hall of the tomb, beside the bonfire full of firewood in the middle, a stranger stood up with a smile.

"Long time no see, my lord."

A copy of Wu Chen's memory related to it then appeared: "It's been a long time, Astrid."

"It's a great honor that you haven't forgotten me, a little assassin." Astrid complimented the lord for not forgetting his status as a brave man.

"I remember you once said that Skyrim is the Skyrim of the Nords." Wu Chen's implication is that, as the leader of the Brotherhood of Darkness in Skyrim Province, Astrid has always been unwilling to be subordinated to others.Not even under the Night Mother.

"Ah, you remember. These are indeed my words. As you can see, the Night Mother, as a chapter in the history of the Dark Brotherhood, is long gone. Today we live according to our own will. Our sanctuary is also the whole of Taim The last refuge of the Dark Brotherhood in Riel, you see, 'you can only survive for a long time if you give up the old ways'. The only thing I worry about is the 'Guardians' who don't change around her. Not sure about the 'Joker' 'What the hell is going on in taking the Night Mother all the way from Cyrodiil to Skyrim, but anyway, they'll soon know it's my sanctuary." This passage from Astrid is informative.The coffin of the Night Mother, who was far away in the imperial capital Cyrodiil, was rushing to the province of Skyrim under the protection of the guardian nicknamed "Joker".

Obviously, there is an irreconcilable deep-seated conflict between Astrid, the actual ruler of the Dark Brotherhood, and the Night Mother, the nominal leader of the darkness.Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the near future, there must be a bloody battle between the foreign forces headed by the Night Mother and the Guardian, and the local faction headed by Astrid.Like the saying "Skyrim is Skyrim for the Nords".However, Astrid may not have a complete chance of winning this open and covert battle with the Night Mother.

Thinking of this, the lord sincerely issued an invitation: "Ximu will always open the door for you."

"I salute you, my lord." This was also the purpose of Astrid's trip.
