Lord Hunter needs a commission

"Don't worry about this, a group of scholars who are keen on academic research will generally not be so wary." Ulfric replied. "Also, they don't know what is buried under Sattar."

Chapter 117 Two Cultists

The Father of the Oak Tree and the King of Storms are the titles used to address the two gods in the old days. The former is another name for the famous God of Nature, Sivanus, and the latter is the nickname for Talos, the God of Storms.

It is worth mentioning that although these two gods were written in history books, they both belonged to the kind of gods that were confirmed to have fallen, and the myth system to which the two gods belonged was also annihilated together.

Today, the beliefs of these two have basically been cut off. Except for some folk songs, there are no relevant traces in this world anymore. As for why the two people in the car at this time used the names of two fallen gods. No, this is intriguing.

As for the reason, both of them know it well, and they can confirm that the other party is not the kind of person who talks about the name of a god, but a believer in the true sense. Without feedback, even if they have almost unbelievable piety, they cannot become priests.

But in a sense, this is also a good thing.

They are also gods in charge of natural authority. The relationship between the Father of the Oak and the King of Storms is not good at all. It is said that most of the gods in the natural disaster fury myth system that Talos belongs to are related to Sivanus.

For example, Aurul, the goddess of winter, was actually subordinate to Sivanus at the beginning, and Mara, the god of hunting, according to unreliable rumors, is likely to be Sivanus and the goddess of the earth. Asia's illegitimate son.

Well, it is said that Chauntea, the goddess of the earth, is also the wife of Losander, the god of dawn...

Therefore, even in today's academic circles, both Sivanus and Talos are classified as cult beliefs. The former has been revealed that its believers often secretly disguised themselves as robbers in the old days, and drove the beast tide to bloodbath some humans near the forest. Villages and pioneers, and extremely exclusive of human development and progress.

The latter is keen on spreading fear and creating disasters, and its believers are mostly criminal gangs such as robbers, pirates, and bandits, so it is also classified as: anti-human evil god heresy that has no contribution to human society and hinders social development .

Religious persecution has no meaning in the current era, but it does not mean that the federal government will recognize the existence of these religious beliefs that specifically disrupt society and development.

So suppressing, banning, and forcibly disbanding, they have been targeting the beliefs of the Father of the Oak and the King of Storms since a long time ago. In the era when such priests lost their magic, basically believers of these heresy beliefs have no way to resist a country .

If their beliefs are exposed, it is estimated that federal police officers will come to investigate in the next moment.

Therefore, concealing their identities is the top priority for Ulfric and Fandral.

……

After a brief conversation in the car, Ulfric and Fandral both avoided the original topic of discussion and remained silent.

Not long after, the car stopped outside a farm on the outskirts of Solitude. Ulfric and Fandral pushed open the door and got out of the car. Then Fandral lowered the brim of his hat, Head to the farm first.

"Thank you for coming to pick me up." Ulfric didn't leave directly, but closed the door first, and thanked the driver sitting in the driver's seat inside the half-down window. "Don't pick me up later, go back early to avoid being suspected."

"I understand." The driver who hid his figure behind the window replied with a slight nod. "Please also be cautious. At this juncture... these guys may not be completely trustworthy."

"Relax, lad." Ulfric smiled confidently. "We are all mice in the shadows, and we are all rebels persecuted by this country. We can't change anything by fighting alone. Only by uniting can we resist the rule of the Federation."

"They will make a rational decision before reaching their goal."

"Then, please pay attention to your own safety at all times."

After all, the driver clenched his right hand and leaned out of the car window. Seeing this, Ulfric also clenched his right hand and touched the driver's fist lightly. The two shouted in unison.

"Long live the Stormcloaks." X2

The roar of the engine sounded again, the driver withdrew his hand, grabbed the steering wheel, started the car engine, and drove the car back to Solitude.

Ulfric, on the other hand, glanced at the receding vehicle, then turned around and walked towards the open gate of the farm.

In the house on the farm, apart from Fandral who came in first, there are several other figures, but just like Fandral, these visitors also cover themselves tightly, not showing too much appearance .

"Is it necessary to wait so long to have a heart-to-heart talk with the people under him?"

After Ulfric stepped into the house, one of them who was already here, a man in a red robe complained to Ulfric.

"My time is precious, Ulfric, I hope next time you won't waste it with unimportant things."

"Be patient, my friend," Ulfric replied. "It is precisely because you red-robed mages have never been patient enough that you will be defeated one by one by the Federation."

The Nord glanced at the people in the house, and continued in a low tone.

"Everyone here is dissatisfied with the rule of the Federation, dissatisfied with this era of materialistic desires, abandoning traditions, abandoning beliefs, and living like walking dead for money, wealth, fame and power. They are all eager to return this world to its original state. on the right track.”

"But before our goal is achieved, what we need is patience. So many years have passed, is it possible, do you still care about waiting an extra week or two?"

"I don't care, it's all the same to me if I wait a few more decades." Fandral responded with a hoarse voice. "But what about you? Ulfric, open your mouth and say that among the few people here, you are the only mortal with a mortal body. If you don't succeed this time, you probably won't have a next time."

"So I was able to wait and wait for my life to tick away as I grew older," Ulfric said. "Since I can be more patient, so can everyone."

"Stop talking nonsense, Ulfric," the man in the red robe cut Ulfric impatiently. "Are you sure, is that thing really under Sattar?"

"Of course, I'm sure," Ulfric replied. "And the mages of Winterhold College have also confirmed that there are indeed hidden underground ruins below. Is there any other place that is more likely to have such a thing than the underground ruins?"

"Everything is according to plan."

"The moment the artifact lost in history returns to the sky, it is the beginning of the return of the gods."

Chapter 118 This Chapter Shouldn't Be an Insinuation

The geographical environment of Tianji Province is very bad. Most of the areas are either steep mountains or barren forests.

Before coming here, Charlotte didn't think it was a big deal.After all, no matter how bad the traffic environment is, even if there are no railways connecting every city and laying down a network called industry, there should still be roads.

Unfortunately, the reality told Charlotte not to think too brightly, although the prosperity of Solitary City is no less than any big city in the Federation, and it is a trading city with a seaport and an airport.

A large amount of money and wealth created the scenery of Dugu City, and also opened up a gap between Dugu City and other cities in the entire Skyrim Province, becoming the products of two completely different eras.

In Solitude, there are clean and tidy roads and cars coming and going, which is much better than Novigrad.

But shortly after leaving Solitary City, the original road quickly deteriorated into mud or stone roads, and even the width became narrow, and the driving process became bumpy.

And the scenery seen along the way is mostly barren and inhabited suburbs. Even if one or two villages pass by, all the low houses built of stones and thatch appear in front of Charlotte.

Without electricity, without electric lights, after leaving the scope of Solitude, all the villages I have seen are out of touch with the times.

It has been decades since the Federation brought Skyrim into its sphere of rule, but obviously, in these decades, they can only use commerce and trade to build Solitude into a modern city, but cannot truly control it through influence skyrim.

On the way over, he, An Jie, and Karen were arranged to ride in a car together, and they were all in the back seat.Since the vehicle he was riding in was an off-road vehicle type, the rear seat was not spacious, and the two girls were petite and slender, so they didn't look so compact.

But even so, they are closer to each other, and Charlotte can even clearly feel Anjie's petite body sitting in the middle, and... Kallen's dissatisfied expression in the past.

Well, she was dissatisfied with why An Jie was sitting in the middle instead of her.

But Charlotte didn't pay attention to the silver fur's thoughts. In fact, after the surprise kiss last night, he was quite embarrassed after meeting Kallen today.Moreover, Kallen looked at her with a hint of teasing, which made Charlotte's scalp tingle.

It's not that he doesn't know what a girl's actions last night represent. However, although she has always remembered Karen's surname before, she has forgotten her name. I don't know what attitude to use to face Kallen.

Moreover, I don't know if it is an illusion.

Charlotte always felt that since the light kiss last night, whenever he and Karen stayed within the distance of less than three meters, there would be an inexplicable feeling, as if some kind of eyes were staring at him.

It was a look of deep dissatisfaction, but no matter how suspicious Charlotte checked, he couldn't find the specific source of that feeling.

So when he got in the car, he didn't lean against Karen's side, but chose to get in the car on the other side of the car, squeezed on An Jie's left side.

And then there is this situation.

Kallen on the right pouted dissatisfiedly, staring at Anjie on the left and Charlotte who was passing by.

An Jie, who became the middleman, had a cold face and sat upright unmoved, but impatience flashed from her eyes from time to time, which proved that she was also a little dissatisfied.

As for her dissatisfaction, it is not known whether she is dissatisfied with Kallen on the right, Charlotte on the left, or both.

"You didn't even repair the road, just use the old road to make do with it?" In the bumpy car, Charlotte grabbed the handle above the window and asked An Jie who was sitting beside him. Naturally, it was also for ease Take a look, the low air pressure of the girl sitting in the middle.

After all, this is another form of using people as a shield. With Charlotte's connotation, she can't keep her expression on her face.Of course, if he did, he could be called a scumbag.

"The infrastructure of Skyrim is not perfect, and there is no chance for it to be perfect." An Jie kept staring at the front, and replied without tilting her head, "The Nord people's stubbornness and tradition, and their unwillingness to accept new things prevail. , the federation can't find a chance to recruit enough workers from the local area to build infrastructure for Skyrim."

"Of course, it's also because of the Stormcloak terrorists. These Nord rebels, in order to maintain their living environment, will stop the Federation from laying railways and building roads here at Skyrim at all costs."

"Especially ten years ago, the Railway Planning Bureau originally planned to lay a railway from Solitary City to Windhelm City, and started to build the skyline railway network around this, but it was destroyed by the terrorist attacks of those terrorists. "

"why?"

Although Charlotte brought up this question in order to ease the weird atmosphere in the back seat, but hearing An Jie's answer, she couldn't help asking curiously.

"That is……"

"Oh, oh, I know that." Before An Jie could continue to answer, Karen who was on the right side of the back seat interjected first. "The Nords are very stubborn. In their traditional culture, the belief of Talos has always occupied an extremely important position."

"In their cultural legends, Talos, the Lord of Storms, was the ancient king of their Nords, and the greatest one, who once ruled the world and established an empire ruled by pure Nords. God seat."

"So they have always had the ambition to rule the world. In the old days, they sent troops to the south more than once, trying to replicate their legendary greatness... Therefore, they are naturally extremely dissatisfied with the Federation ruling them by force, and in the Federation In the religious management of the country, there are clear regulations that classify Talos' beliefs as cultism."

"The Stormcloak terrorists believe that after laying railways and roads, their culture and traditions will be shaken, and the influence of the Federation will expand to every corner of the sky, 'polluting' the purity of the new generation of Nords."

"...Are you saying that a regional terrorist organization is a group of Great Nordists, and it still has the pure nature of the supremacy of national traditional culture, and its ambition is asymmetrical with its strength?" Charlotte unexpectedly Looking at Kallen asked. "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Caroline smiled and said in a sarcastic tone. "That's what they think, and it's always been that way."

Chapter 119 Sattar

Rule the world.

It is a very tempting term, and it is also the glory that many kings with great ambitions, great ideals and grand goals have been pursuing.

Of course, this "ruling the world" has to be discounted at any time. In fact, it is simply impossible to completely rule the world.

In the old era, when the society was rigid, the culture was weak, and the ignorance was backward, because there were all kinds of gods and demons watching from above, any careerists and kings who wanted to dominate the world, even if it was only a known world, would be used by others. All kinds of methods are deadly.

For example, the famous long-eared black gloves in the old days, the anti-humanity, anti-civilization and anti-society terrorist organization-the Harpist, more than once gave those excellent monarchs who were full of ideals and started to carry out military, political, economic and even religious reforms. Assassination, and it is still a massacre operation that kills the whole family and the nine clans.

The reason for doing this is that in that era, no one wanted to see everything that had been traditionally changed, no matter whether it was an aristocratic businessman or a strongman from all walks of life, even the gods and demons above were unwilling to see that the already stiff The civilized civilization is rejuvenated and does not want to see the emergence of a centralized country.

At that time, the last centralized country was called Netheril, and it created a brilliant moment, almost pointing at the gods to say a word about Netheril civilization.

Therefore, whether it is in terms of interests or traditional politics, in the old days, division was normal, and unification was heresy. Whoever dared to create an empire deserved to die for the whole family, and whoever dared to shake the theocracy would go to hell.

This is order, the unshakable order that the gods, demons, and even various mortal forces default to.

Although this kind of order, in today's view, is a heinous crime, a hopeless anti-humanity, anti-civilization, and anti-social terrorism, but at that time it was the only truth in the world.

But in that era when everyone is fighting with cold weapons, a conflict of dozens of people can be called a war, a melee of a few hundred people is a battle, and a few thousand people can be called a battle. There is a nation that has been striving to one day rule the world...

Well, there are not a few villains with such ideals, but how can the mere Nord Hede be compared with those villains who are at least legendary spellcasters?

So the Nords have always been in a state of being unlucky and about to be unlucky.

In the old days when there were gods and demons above, whenever the Nords united under the command of their high king and then went south to invade, they would always be raided by heroes from all walks of life.

Including but not limited to: knights under the command of various good gods, harpers who resolutely fight against the unification of mankind, dwarves who sell cold weapons for war trade, elves who restrain the development of monkeys (humans) on the ground, orcs who come to fight the autumn wind, and the territory suffered Aristocratic lords who threaten desperately, giant shit-scrambling dragons that turn into human forms, villain bosses with different ideas, horse boys of evil gods and their followers...

Basically, every time the unlucky Nords unite and dispatch, they will be hit head-on for various reasons.

If you are smarter, you can take it as soon as you see it, and you can return with the wealth from the robbery. If you are stubborn and unwilling to give up, the whole army will be wiped out in all likelihood.

What a bunch of stupid and cute savages.

"From the very beginning, the traditional culture of the Nords cannot help them rise." As a nun of the Church of Destiny, who is the leader in today's religious circles, Karen continued to criticize. "Too much emphasis on tradition, not thinking about progress, unwilling to reform, not accepting any new things, not recognizing any advanced technology...even when the current era comes."

"When gunpowder weapons appeared, large-scale group warfare became the mainstream, and airships and cannons became a reality, these Nords not only did not make any changes, they even actively rejected the arrival of gunpowder weapons just like they rejected magic in the past."

"When the Federation shattered the gate of the sky through heavy artillery, airship bombing, and rows of armored vehicles, these Nords still maintained the style of hundreds of thousands of years ago, wielding giant swords and axes, and drawing bows and arrows. Crossbow arrows, come to meet the army of the Federation."

"Then they were finished. It was even easier than fighting a city security war. These Nord troops collapsed at the first touch. They were pressed to the ground without even splashing a little water, and their spines were broken."

For what happened to the Nords, Charlotte only expressed her sympathy, but didn't pay much attention to it.

In this kind of military affairs, it is not his turn to point fingers. The unfortunate fate of the Nords is their own fault. It has been decades since they were defeated and brought into the rule of the Federation for decades. And Nords People would rather rot in the mud with the corrupt system and culture than change it. All I can say is...

... I, Great Nord, have my own national conditions here.

"For so many years, Skyrim has neither a railway nor a smooth road. Is this the reason?"

"That's right, because railways and highways bring not only commercial development, but also advanced systems and culture, and the Nords headed by the Stormcloak terrorist organization are afraid of this aspect."

Caroline said quietly.

"The confrontation between barbarism and civilization, the comparison between advanced and backward, anyone who is not a fool can see the advantages and disadvantages, and once this happens, no one will be willing to hold on to the past."

"..."

Charlotte, Anjie, and Karen, who were talking in low voices, didn't notice that when they talked about the Nords, in particular, they were all about the backward traditions and culture of the Nords, as well as the stormcloaks. When there was irony both inside and outside the words, in the driver's seat of this car, the hand of the blond man driving the car was slightly tensed while holding the steering wheel.

And his face became even more gloomy.

It's a pity that the man and two women who chatted more deeply didn't notice his expression through the rear-view mirror.

……

Sattar, located in the east of Skyrim Province, is quite far away from Solitary City in the west, almost across the entire skyline.

In this place where there is neither railway nor road, it is really not easy to go to Sattar.

A whole convoy set off from Solitary City, first it took several hours to arrive at Mosar, and then it took several hours from Mosar to Morning Star City.After a night's rest, they drove straight from Morningstar City to Winterhold, and after spending two or three hours passing the Froststream Lighthouse, they entered a low valley.
