Lord Hunter needs a commission

Beside him was Captain Raloff, the representative of the Solitude Army who came along with him.

In fact, since he came here yesterday, he has been having a good conversation with Larov. Most people think that as a businessman, he wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with the military.

However, during the period when the gate of the ruins was excavated, when all eyes were attracted, the two people who were talking here quickly ended the topic and stared closely at the door that had been seen again.

"According to plan, Raloff." At this moment, Ulfric said in a completely different low tone from before. "Be careful."

"Don't worry, Lord Ulfric." Captain Raloff responded in a low voice with a respectful voice. "It's just, how to deal with an accident when the time comes..."

"Don't worry, they won't break their word." Ulfric said meaningfully. "These mages from Winterhold are troublesome, but they are not impossible to deal with... Remember, later..." Ulfric's mouth moved, and Ulfric lowered his voice to the lowest level, barely audible. "...I don't believe that these mages of Winterhold will sit and watch the representatives of the government die here."

However, Captain Larov heard it clearly. He raised his head and looked at Anjie who was staying with Charlotte and Kallen on the other side. His eyes were stabbed like a saber-toothed tiger watching his prey.

"I understand." Captain Raloff nodded slightly. "Then, I'll get ready first."

"Stay away when something happens," Ulfric ordered. "Although those guys won't tear their faces apart, they definitely don't mind 'accidental injury', understand?"

"I see."

After the conversation, Captain Raloff pretended to be nonchalant, walked away from Ulfric, and walked towards Anjie.

Chapter 123 In the Ruins ([-]rd)

The dark corridor, the silent passage, the air is filled with a decaying smell, like the smell mixed by adding a pair of broken logs to a dry corpse and sealing it in an airtight coffin. All in all, it smells very bad .

I don't even know if this breath permeating here is poisonous gas. After all, in the dusty tomb, no one knows what changes will happen after years of erosion.

Fortunately, before entering this tunnel, before opening the bronze door outside, the people who were selected to enter the ruins to investigate for a while were not ordinary people.

For example, the mages of Winterhold who came in finally showed their side as mages this time, directly using several defensive spells to ensure that they can pass safely in the ruins.

And Charlotte and Kallen don't need this kind of spell.

The two walked together, showing no sign of the peculiar smell in the air, as if it didn't exist at all, and there was no abnormal breathing, their steps were steady and light.

"How old is this place?" Karen walked in the front. The people who originally entered the ruins, considering her age and gender, initially proposed to let her walk in the team, but she refused. , but also asked to go to the forefront.

"I don't know." Charlotte, who was following Karen, replied casually. "At least hundreds of thousands of years."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Charlotte, I'm afraid this place is much longer than you imagined." Professor Tofter suddenly stopped in the back, then looked up, looking at the wall illuminated by candlelight , stretched out his hand to touch the peculiar pattern on the wall, and said. "It is said that the Nords are not the real natives of Skyrim, but colonists from other places."

"And the Sattar Valley, according to some unrecorded documents, was one of the earliest colonies of the ancient Nords."

"Colony? Here?" Karen asked as she walked forward. "But it's a world of ice and snow outside, and the ruins here are probably cities built by colonies?"

"I think it might be," said Professor Tofter. "However, too much time has passed. There are traces left by the ancient Nords everywhere in the sky...maybe thousands of years old."

After a short pause, the temporary expedition set off again, heading deeper into the ruins.

Not long after walking, a golden-red light appeared in front of them, causing everyone to pause and become vigilant.But when I walked in, I saw that it was just a torch embedded in the wall.

In this passage that has been closed for an unknown amount of time, the torch radiates light, illuminating a small piece of darkness.

However, it is obviously impossible for a torch to burn for such a long time, and when the torch is burning, it neither emits a smell of smoke nor has the slightest temperature. When it is touched, the flame is more like an illusion and has no temperature.

"This is a kind of torch that is lit by magic, and it can be used as a light source for many years, unless someone takes the torch off the wall." Professor Tovdir introduced. "Such torches are common in ancient Nord ruins, and so far, there have been very few cases where such magical torches have been actively extinguished."

"In other words, the magic skills of the ancient Nords are not bad." Karen said after looking at the torch. "Then why, the later Nords would reject magic skills so much?"

"It is said that the later Nords believed that magic skills were quite dangerous and unstable, and would often be used by tyrants, so they began to ostracize mages." Professor Tofter replied. "This point is a continuation of the saying after the Dragon Worship Cult broke out in Tianji Province."

Dragon Worship is a fairly ancient cult. It is said that the target of its worship is the dragon after death. It is believed that one day, the world will usher in the end, and the dragon will rule the world after death.

Of course, this is pure nonsense.

After all, in today's era, even the shadow of the giant dragon is gone. Even if there are still remaining giant dragons, it is estimated that they will run as far away from human society as possible, so as not to be blocked by anti-aircraft guns.

The era when these winged lizards ruled the sky has long since come to an end. Today, it is neither gods nor demons, nor elves and dwarves who rule this era, but the most humble human beings.

Therefore, after hearing the word Dragon Worship, none of the people present showed surprise.

"I really don't know what it means." Karin shook her head when she heard that the Nords seemed to be rejecting magic skills because of the cult. "Just because of this, they reject magic. Even in today's era of prosperous technology, they don't choose to reject magic. What do these Nords think?"

"The Nords are a relatively superstitious people, so it's not surprising that this kind of thing happened."

Going forward, shortly after passing the magic torch, you came to a rotunda, and here seemed to be a fork in the road, but unfortunately, many paths were buried and impassable by gravel, only the passage below Stay stuck.

There was nothing valuable in this hall, and it was covered with dust everywhere, so the people who entered stopped again.

"Do you want to move on?" Charlotte asked Professor Tofter.

"This..." Professor Tofter lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "Let's go a little further. According to the architectural style of the ancient Nords, this room should be the so-called front hall. We haven't gone deep at all."

At this distance, there was no danger, so Professor Tofter's proposal was not opposed.

Then, everyone walked down the stone ladder, and walked in to the only passage that was not blocked.

After turning a few corners and walking out of this passage, everyone came to the second hall. This hall is no different from the previous one, and it seems to be even worse.

The passages in this hall were also blocked, and none survived.

"Well, it seems that our luck is not good." Seeing this situation, Professor Tovdir was quite helpless. "That's the end of the work of going deep into the ruins. Next, let's find out if there is any special place nearby. We will start going up in 10 minutes."

Hearing this, Professor Toftil and several other Winterhold mages scattered and searched among the ruins in the second hall.

"Is this a treasure hunt?"

Karen turned around, hugged Charlotte's right arm, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Charlotte said helplessly with a sigh. "Can you let me go?"

"No."

Chapter 124 Outside the Ruins (fourth update)

The gates of the ancient Nords' relics are often accompanied by various magics for sealing, because the ancient Nords believed that the corpses buried in the ground would be affected by evil forces, and thus resurrected as evil things and ran back to the world raging.

Therefore, in every existing ancient Nord ruins, there is a magical power that cannot be seen with the naked eye and is specially used for sealing, and the entrance and exit of the ruins are often the most powerful place for this magical power.

It's a pity that the ancient Nords who built these 'relics' didn't know that after countless years, these relics sealed by magical power will be opened.

No matter what kind of seal, it is basically internal, but it is quite lacking externally.

As a result, the bronze gate under Sattar did not stop the archaeologists for long before it was unlocked by the experienced Professor Tovdir.

Then, Professor Tovdir led a few people, and as the first group of people to enter the ruins, they walked into the dark passage behind the bronze gate. So far, nearly half an hour has passed.

But obviously, no one outside the ruins felt worried about it.

The workers who had completed the excavation gathered in twos and threes by the bonfire in front of the tent. Now their work has come to an end, and the next step is to wait for the return journey and settle their wages.

So when they were free, they cooked hot soup on the campfire one by one, drinking and chatting.

On the contrary, the mages of Winterhold who remained were full of energy. Although they were not selected to enter the ruins, these mages with strange paintings and strong physiques focused their attention on other unearthed buildings during this period of time. On the wreckage and bottles and jars, I don't know what is being studied.

All in all, if there is no accident, the excavation of the ruins can come to an end after the people who went down to explore the ruins return.

And this is a good thing for An Jie.

At this time, while she was gently sipping the hot tea in the teapot, she cast her eyes on the opened bronze door.

In her eyes, the dark passage is like a door leading to death, full of unknown and cold.

Although An Jie also knew that most of the coldness she felt was caused by the climate here. After all, before she came to Tianji, she could not have imagined that the climate in various parts of Tianji Province was so different.

The scenery in Dugu City is beautiful, although the temperature is not high, but it also makes people feel comfortable, full of the unique atmosphere of a seaside city.

However, shortly after leaving Solitary City, the temperature plummeted all the way. After arriving in the Sattar Valley, all he could see was the dark sky, howling wind and snow, and the bitingly cold low temperature, so Anjie had to wear Wear cold clothes.

Thinking of this, An Jie showed a little bit of envy.

Compared to her, Charlotte and Kallen, no matter how the temperature changes, have never changed their attire, and still maintain the original clothes, almost without fear of the severe cold.

It's a pity that she is not a superhuman, even with the help of guns and some props, it is no problem to contend with ordinary superhumans, but compared to Charlotte and Kallen, who can be regarded as superhuman beings, she is not much of a threat.

"Major." Just as An Jie was thinking wildly, suddenly, a blond man in military uniform came in front of her.

"Captain Larov, what's the matter?" An Jie looked at the visitor and asked.

"Yes..." Raloff showed a hesitant expression on his face, and then he said in a low voice. "Here, I mean, is this ruin really going to be given over to the mages of Winterhold?"

"Is your officer dissatisfied?"

"No, Major." Raloff said seriously. "In the ruins below, there is some kind of mysterious energy. It's too inappropriate to hand over this dangerous thing to those mages."

"Then what does your officer mean?"

"I want to say that no matter what is in the ruins, it is better to be in the hands of the military than handing over to those untrustworthy Winterhold mages..."

"This kind of thinking is not a good thing." Anjie interrupted Raloff's words. "You know, your statement is very problematic in itself."

"Sorry." Raloff said with a bow. "It was the officer who offended."

"Yeah." An Jie shook her head slightly. This kind of dispute over interests was not uncommon for her, so she didn't think much about it. "Next time, don't say such things in a crowded place."

"Yes, sir." Larov saluted solemnly, then walked past Anjie.

And the moment the two passed by, Larov quickly took out the gun from the holster, and pressed it against An Jie's temple.

"You." Being pressed against her head by the muzzle of a gun, she didn't react at all to this unexpected situation. She let go of her hand, and the teapot in her hand fell down. Subconsciously, An Jie put her hand on her matching cup. on the gun.

"Don't move." Unfortunately, Larov's indifferent voice made you, Anjie, stop pulling out the gun. "Sir, if you move around, I promise to pull the trigger before you draw the gun."

"……what do you mean?"

Raloff's naked threat made Anjie's heart sink instantly.

"how dare you?"

bang.

At this moment, a roar exploded.

Not far away, an orange-red flame crossed a parabola and landed on the mage of Winterhold who was studying the traces of the ruins, triggering a distant explosion.

The high-temperature flames raged, and the shock wave violently lifted the two mages and landed on the snow.

Bang bang bang.

Immediately afterwards, successive gunshots rang out, and many of the workers who were originally digging held up guns that came from nowhere, and indifferently pulled the triggers on the compatriots around them.

"You!" Seeing the killing scene in front of her, Anjie squinted at Laluofu who was pointing a gun at her. "Rebellion?!"

"No, sir, this is not a rebellion." Larov said to Anjie with his hand holding the gun motionless, and his eyes were even colder. "It's about correcting mistakes..."

"correct?"

"That's right, the rectification of Skyrim, the Federation, and the entire world, starting from here, let this world return to its proper track." A fanatical smile appeared on Larov's face. "Long live the Stormcloaks."

"Stormcloaks? You are, damn it."

An Jie gritted her teeth, anger churning endlessly in her heart, but she did not dare to move, and could only watch helplessly as the sudden killing continued.

In front of them, the mages who were blown away by the fireball had already stood up from the ground. Obviously, they had prepared defensive spells on their bodies, so they didn't die in the explosion comparable to high explosives.

Unfortunately, the moment they stood up, a large cheetah covered in flames appeared behind them and jumped down, tearing them apart.

Chapter 125 Rebellion Stormcloak (Fifth Watch)

In a blink of an eye, blood splattered everywhere, and an unsuspecting killing dyed the surrounding snow red. Many unsuspecting people fell on their backs directly after the gunshots sounded, and returned to the scene in this shocking change. The overwhelmed people screamed in horror and fled in all directions.

But a few black shadows flashed past, and those who ran away were all cut to death by sharp blades.The only ones capable of fighting back were the mages of Winterhold. Unfortunately, they were also defenseless. They were already one step ahead and were torn to pieces by a cheetah burning with flames all over their bodies.

After 1 minute, the killing stopped, and the corpses all over the ground witnessed the end of the massacre.

"You..." Smelling the bloody smell that filled the icy air, An Jie's face turned slightly pale, but she was more angry. However, she had no room to resist when Larov held a pistol to her head.

Maybe she could give it a try. Before Larov pulled the trigger, she leaned sideways and forcibly grabbed the gun in his hand, and tried to see if this rebellious soldier dared to shoot.

However, the idea of ​​fighting to the death only appeared in her mind for a moment before being discarded.

She thinks she is better than ordinary people in unarmed combat, but that is only against ordinary people, while Larov is a soldier with a much stronger physique than her, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, and her basic quality has completely crushed her. Still an active duty soldier.

If she was an extraordinary person with inhuman strength like Charlotte and Karen, this kind of physical difference was nothing. Even in terms of strength alone, Charlotte and Karen were much stronger than Larov.

But there are no ifs in this world, and even if she can get rid of Raloff's checks and balances, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to escape the poisonous hands of others.

The enemy also has supernatural beings with supernatural powers.

Roar.

The flaming cheetah that tore the unsuspecting Mage of Winterhold to pieces let out a low growl, and changed directly. It changed from a large beast to a shirtless upper body with flame patterns on its body and a brown head. Man with long red hair.
