Chapter 403 1.402 Walking with the Shadow

Under the guidance of the president of Blood Money, the lord arrived at the secret meeting place under the Yemen Tavern through a secret passage.

The moment the president of Blood Money revealed his face, a copy of Wu Chen's memory appeared out of thin air: "Long time no see, Kalia."

"It's been a long time, my lord." The eyes of the president of Blood Money were full of undisguised loneliness and loneliness.Although the dark elves have a long life, Kokaria's heart is older than her body.

Karliah, the most famous dark elf thief in Skyrim, bar none.Also a former member of the Skyrim Thieves Guild, a Nightingale.But during the 25 years on the run following the murder of her lover and guild master, the nightingale Gallus Desidenius, she has been blamed for her lover's murder.

"Nightingale Trinity", often simply referred to as "Nightingale", is one of the three dedicated to one of the sixteen demon gods known as the Goddess of the Night, Lady of Shadow, Agnostic, Queen of Gloom, Daughter of Dawn, Lady of Mystery, etc. The realm is endless A highly skilled thief in the service of Nocturnal, the goddess of night and shadow.

Nightingales are usually chosen from the top ranks of the Thieves Guild and wield powerful influence over the guild's operations.Some even claim that this is where the union catchphrase "walking with the shadows" comes from.

The nightingales will swear to Nocturnal to protect the "Skull Key" and keep it forever in Nocturnal's sanctuary - Twilight Cemetery.Nightingale was also sworn to guard the cemetery from threats.Even death never ceases, until Nocturnal lets the nightingale's soul into her realm of endless twilight, to escape the cycle of the present and become immortal.In return, the nightingales can use the magic from the goddess of the night and do whatever they see fit.And not subject to the laws of the world (please distinguish yourself from the laws).

It is believed that, unlike the ubiquitous human-god contract, the oath between the nightingales and Nocturnal is more like some kind of business contract.While most members take the oath very seriously, they do not worship Nocturnal as a deity, but rather as the patron saint of thieves, giving her the respect she deserves.

The time when the Nightingale Trinity was first established is unknown.But it is certain that the most famous nightingale in the history of Tamriel was Jagar Tharn, who was first recorded around the distant year 3E 383.Interestingly, the nightingales of all ages denied that Jagger Sarn was a nightingale, and claimed that the bard who seduced Queen Balanyaz was Drayven Indoril, a The master thief hired by Tharn to steal the War of Chaos (he was also a member of the Nightingale Trinity).Nightingale also claimed that Draven had an affair with Queen Barenziah and had a child.The illegitimate child and his descendants became Nightingales.

According to the second book of "Nightingale" written by Gallus Desideris, it can be determined that Kalia's grandparents are Queen Barenziah and Nightingale thief Draven Indori.Kalia's mother, Dralsi, also a nightingale, taught her the art of stealing when she was very young.Just as her mother was about to pass the nightingale cloak to Kalia, unfortunately she was killed in a battle defending the Twilight Tomb.In the end, Kalia was introduced as a nightingale by the guild master and lover Gallus.

This copy of memory that emerged out of thin air told Wu Chen that during the 25 years of fleeing, Kalia quietly turned into a blood money merchant and formed his own thief organization: Yemen Death Flower.

No wonder the housekeeper had no trouble recruiting Violet Jeannard of the Nightgate.It turned out to be the flower of death carefully cultivated by Kalia, an old acquaintance.

"So since you escaped from the guild, you have been hiding here for 25 years." Wu Chen jumped out of his memories.

"I spend most of my time at the Night Gate, in charge of the Blood Money Merchant Guild, and training the Flower of Death. You know, my lord. The only advantage of our dark elves is their longevity." Choosing to reveal her identity at this time, it is obvious that Kalia has already had Prepare.

"That's true." Wu Chen said with a smile: "So, why did Janet sign a lifetime contract, only to work for me."

Wu Chen was just asking casually.Kocalia would definitely not simply think: "My lord, this is my agreement with Alicia: If Janet's service satisfies you, please allow me to take charge of the Flower of Death for you."

"So, you and your Blood Money Merchant Guild also want to be contracted by Crimson Dragon Po to serve the law of the Golden Tree." Wu Chen understood.The ancestor Nightingale, who has been on the run for 25 years, wants a safe haven.It's like the dragon-slaying sword, Iriles, who has also been on the run for a long time.

"Is it okay, my lord?" Kalia waited for the judgment of fate with anxiety.

"Why not?" Wu Chen said with a smile, "You know, I have a golden mountain. I will also set up an 'organization much like blood money' later on, which can be managed by you and your Yemen Death Flower , but it must not be stained with anyone's blood. This is my bottom line."

"Blood money is a debt trap. But as long as you collect the appropriate tax rate like your territory, the blood will fade away and become a territorial facility similar to blacksmith shops and hotels." Kalia's eyes brightened for a moment.The "blood money-like organization" that the lord wants to build is actually a bank.

"I believe what you said, and I also believe that you have this ability. But to be on the safe side, everything must be discussed after the contract is awarded." Wu Chen smiled.

"As you wish, my lord." Kalia liked Wu Chen's straightforwardness.This is also the daily life of the brave in the sky. As long as the two sides negotiate the conditions, everything will be fine.I'm afraid of hiding it, and harboring evil intentions from the beginning.

Walking out of the secret room, the housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time smiled and took the Lord Lord's arm: "So?"

"Guess?" Wu Chen's smile said everything.

"Walking with the former nightingale can make up for the eyes and ears in the darkness that Ximu urgently needs." The housekeeper's choice must not be wrong.

Wait for Ventus to fill the cargo hold with the accumulated wealth.The Storm Prospect rose slowly and returned to Creekwood Collar.

Lord's cabin.

Wu Chen is reading two private letters intercepted by Kalia.

A letter was written by Sabjorn, the owner of Snowman Mead, to Marwen Blackthorn of Rift Valley, saying that reasonable business competition is harmless, but Marwen secretly hired thugs and the Thieves Guild to rob him In response, he threatened to report to Lord Snowrun and let Balgrove the Strong deal with her.

The second letter was written by a man named Christopher Bartley to Marwen Blackthorn. The words in the letter were extremely humble and apprehensive, saying that this was already the second letter of apology he wrote to Marwen, and the last one was lost to nothing. There was no news, and he hoped that Ma Wen would not misunderstand him, and said that he begged Ma Wen's forgiveness with extreme humility and fear in the banner of Xueman's mare.

Unexpectedly, the two letters were related to the Blackthorn family and the Snowman collar in Rift Valley City.

Delphine, the proprietress of the Sleeping Giant Inn, once asserted that the gin of Secuda Castle was far superior to the Nord mead produced in the mead field outside Snowrun.The unique taste of gin is even comparable to the popular black bramble mead.

Since Blackthorn mead has always been a guarantee of quality, why plunder the mediocre Nord mead in the mead land?
Also, why did Christopher Batley, who was temporarily staying in the Mare Banner Tavern, offend the famous Blackthorn family?

It seems that there are more side plots that need to be completed all of a sudden.

With a cabin full of harvest, the Storm Prospect returned safely to Gray Rock Castle.

"Master, the southern Feitian outpost has been built. According to your request, it has been transformed into a solid outpost." The housekeeper fetched the latest official document of the territory.

Of course, there is also the thick "Golden Tree Code".
