The villain also has spring 2

Chapter 458 1.457 Maintaining the seemingly tacit harmony is also a must-answer question for politics
Thinking of this, the lord has already made a decision: "Then Israelen, you must have heard of the "Silver Vigilance Hall" and "White River Overlooking the Rock Fortress". "

"Yes, my lord. It is said that it is a strong fortress built by the Silver Hand and the vigilantes on the White River Mountain, and it is protected by the golden tree supported by the cold tower." Regarding the rumors that happened around the lord lord, Islan obviously I've heard of it.

"So, have you heard of "Tiangang Temple"? "The lord asked with a smile.

"...Yes, my lord. Hanluo Feilai Peak." Islan nodded solemnly.

"Then, I want to move the Dawnguard Fortress to my territory, do you agree?" The lord asked step by step to the point.

"My lord, the Dawnguard Fortress does not belong to me, but to the Lord of the Rift Valley." Islahn's meaning was very clear.Unlike Hanluo Feilai Peak, which has been neglected since Dragon Guard disappeared, Dawnguard Fortress belongs to the Rift Valley Lord.As long as Baron Ximu can legally hold the Dawnguard Fortress without violating the "Lord's Convention".Then it would be no problem to transfer this strong old castle to Ximu.Being able to get the support of the cold tower and the protection of the golden tree, as well as the blessing of the magic ring engraved by the lord, is really great for the recruits of the Dawn Guard.But the premise of all this is that Wu Chen must legally own the Dawnguard Fortress.Otherwise everything is empty talk.

This also means that Wu Chen is going to Rift Valley City to buy this strong fortress at a reasonable price.

The Rift Collar, located southeast of Skyrim and northwest of the cross between the Veros Mountains and the Geral Mountains.One of the "Four Ancient Leaders" of Skyrim.The capital, Rift, sits amidst vast autumn forests on the shores of Lake Honrich, which flows to the Treva River and Lake Geir.The Rift is also one of the southernmost territories of the province of Skyrim, sitting on the plateau to the southeast of the province.Bordered by Morrowind and Cyrodiil, but separated by steep cliffs and rolling mountains.Including the Geral Mountains, the Velos Mountains and the legendary Throat of the World, they all become insurmountable natural barriers around the Rift Valley.Sitting on two large lakes and autumn deciduous forests, the Rift Valley Territory, in addition to the capital Rift Valley City, also has two prosperous settlements, Yew Town and Shor's Stone Town (Shor's Stone).

In the middle of the Second Era, the Rift was a rapidly growing city in Skyrim, and the main activity area of ​​​​trade caravans and travelers from Morrowind.It is also home to branches of the Warrior and Mages guilds.The city also has a sewer system known as the "Ratways", which is occupied by the Thieves' Guild.Early in the Third Era, Rift City had become the headquarters of the Skyrim Thieves Guild.Queen (sleep!) Barenziah herself was a member of the Thieves Guild.When the Rift developed into the Fourth Era, the cities reached their peak in size and affluence.However, the city fell into decline in 4E 98 when the reigning lord was assassinated and succeeded by Hosgunn Crosse-Daggers.Although many believe Hothgang was responsible for the murder of his previous lord, he used the Rift Guard to brutally suppress any dissenters.During his long reign, he imposed strict martial law and unreasonably high taxes, and used most of the exploited gold to build a huge and luxurious wooden castle.When Rift City fell into decay and squalor, and its people died of disease and famine, the city finally reached a turning point in its fate when an armed uprising swept through the city in 4E 129.Hosgon's castle was set on fire, sparking a fire that quickly engulfed the entire city.Although the tyranny of Lord Hothgang ended in that fire, many citizens were also killed in the flames, and Rift City was reduced to ruins.Over the next five years, the city was rebuilt into a smaller, darker, more fort-like town, with its wooden structure and rough stone style, which remained until 4E 201.That is today.

The current female lord of the Rift is Laila Law-Giver.For the people of the Rift who are accustomed to the laws of darkness, the influence of Lyra the Lawbreaker's rule has always been controversial.

Lady Rift "Lawbringer" Lyra has two sons, Harrald and Saerlund.Because Saellund publicly opposed Ulfric Stormcloak, he was imprisoned in the palace by the female lord for madness.Of course, this is probably just a cover. It is rumored that the lord has complained privately to her vassals that although she supports the storm, she has no confidence in Ulfric herself.And her Captain of the Guard, Unmid Snow-Shod, was the staunchest supporter of Ulfric and his Stormcloaks.

When Wu Chen, who was still an adventurer, entered Rift Valley City for the first time, he discovered that the Thieves Guild secretly had a great influence or dominance over the city, far surpassing the female lord of the Rift Valley, the "lawbreaker" Lai. Ra and her vassals.I don't know where Lord Lila's inexplicable self-confidence comes from, believing that she is in control of everything.She didn't even notice any problems with the Thieves Guild.The vassals also did their best to assuage her concerns, especially her housekeeper, Anuriel, who was actually a thieves' guild spy.Legend has it that Marwen Blackthorn sent the housekeeper Anuriel to manipulate Lila to protect the family's interests and prevent the Rift Maiden from interfering with the guild.Therefore, the black hand who controls the city is far more than a thieves' union.

In addition to the lord, Rift Valley City also has two major clans, Blackthorn and Snowhoof.Blackthorn is a supporter of the empire. Marwen herself runs the popular Blackthorn Honey Winery and family farm, and has close ties with the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. Marwen and Lila also have a good relationship. A true female boss who takes everything black and white, she is ruthless, cruel and arrogant, and will use the power of the Thief Society and the Black Brotherhood to persecute opponents. The civilians in the Rift Valley dare not speak out. Not very popular.

The Snowhoof clan is a supporter of Stormcloaks, and the youngest daughter Lilija is even a medic for Stormcloaks.Recently disappeared on the battlefield and is said to have been killed.So the Vulwulf Snow-Shods are very hostile to the Empire.But eldest son Asgeir Snow-Shod (Asgeir Snow-Shod), Marwen's partner and fiancé of Emperor Titus Meade II's cousin Victoria Vici (Vittoria Vici), doesn't quite agree with this, And in public conversations, he also showed some opinions that were at odds with his family.Therefore, his marriage with the imperial side was even seen as a signal of a turning point in the relationship between the empire and the sky.

So two big families, two unions, and a confident female lord.Intrigues and deceptions, all parties wrestle with each other.Make Rift City the most depraved and chaotic dark place in Skyrim.

Even so, maintaining the seemingly tacit harmony is a must-answer question for politics.The palace ball, which was full of drunkenness and drunkenness, still arrived in the hall of the lord's castle as promised.Never postponed.

At this moment, a letter was quickly sent by the wood elf housekeeper, Anuriel, into the lord's hall of Mistveil Keep.

"Baron Ximu?" The exclamation of "Lawbreaker" Laila attracted the attention of the audience.

"Yes, my lord." Subconsciously, she glanced at Marwen Blackthorn, who was dressed up, and the housekeeper replied respectfully.
