Wu Chen was still thinking that as the last High King of Skyrim in the Isgramor Dynasty, the ancient tomb of Bogas of Winterhold should be full of traps and filled with corpses. As a result, the entire journey was as clean as if a dog had licked it.

When he walked to the bonfire, Wu Chen immediately smelled the strong smell of grease. Only then did the Lord realize that the neatly stacked tree trunks from a distance were actually ancient mummies. The Nords have had them since ancient times. The custom of burning enemy corpses is correct. But those buried in the tombs are all ancient Nord warriors. It seems that the Dark Brotherhood also sprinkled a special alchemical potion on the "corpse wood", which can neutralize the corpses produced by burning. It smells bad, and has a certain blessing (?) effect. Of course, for the Dark Brotherhood, this is a good way to use local materials and avoid future troubles. According to a conventional understanding, anyone who "dies with a sword" Nord warriors will all go to Sognard. The corpses will also be well protected by the magic ice. Those who can't rest in peace with the dragon's curse will eventually become wights. It doesn't matter if they are burned.

What's more, slightly stimulated by the mysterious power in the flames, Wu Chen saw a more realistic scene from the perspective of his spiritual body.

Another important function of burning corpses is to offer sacrifices to Sithis, the Father of Fear. This is also the essence of "corpse fire sacrifice".

It is said that the housekeeper used a dragon's eye diamond to trade with the Night Mother. It is said that after obtaining this powerful Demus magic stone, the Dark Brotherhood immediately secretly held a forbidden ritual of the devil. Let the Night Mother in the coffin "Giving birth" to the Dark Brotherhood a "Daughter of Sithis" and opening up the "Dark Age" for Stalkers.

According to Wu Chen's understanding, Sithis worshiped by the Dark Brotherhood is actually an illusion created by the Whispering Lady Mephala, one of the Sixteen Demon Gods. Mephala secretly controls the entire Dark Brotherhood through the Night Mother. So this person is controlled by the Night Mother. The dead girl who was born is most likely the daughter of the demon god Mephala. Or she is the "will container" of the demon god Mephala.

It is also very possible that the so-called "dark age" actually refers to the arrival of Mephala, the Whispering Lady, in Mundas. The reason why the listener asked the lord in person to take back Mephala's artifact, the Ebony Stone Blade, to perform a caesarean section for the Night Mother was Because what is "cut open" is not the Night Mother's shriveled belly, but the barrier that cuts through the plane, connecting the continent of Tamriel and the realm of annihilation of the Whispering Lady Mephala: the Spiral Skein, also called "Chaos." swirl".

It is said that there is another evil aspect of the Ebony Stone Blade, which is that it corrupts the holder, making them immersed in the madness of killing. Eventually, the holder's soul will be swallowed by Mephala's Annihilation Plane and become a part of it. It can be seen that this magic knife can indeed cut through the plane. Otherwise, how can it swallow the soul of the knife holder?

However, in history, in order to save the holder of the magic knife, an unnamed mage put a magic seal on the knife so that the weapon would not be held by one person for a long time and could protect the souls of those who held it from being possessed by this weapon. The sword is too confusing. You need to kill 10 close relatives to release the seal.

"Could it be that..." Thinking of this, Wu Chen suddenly stopped.

Mephala, the Whispering Lady, seduced Hologna and killed close relatives in Dragon's Landing Castle. The purpose was actually for the upcoming caesarean section of the Night Mother? It was not to fool Hologna and satisfy the god's selfish desires.

"In the hearts of Westerners, Mephala is a demon god who controls killing, sex and secrets. These have their secret and subtle parts (such as assassination/massacre, love/debauchery); and Mephala is the master of all these

Fusion." - "Vivec and Mephala".

"He/she has been weaving an airtight web - full of lies, desires and murders." He/she also stopped immediately, with obvious meaning in Astrid's smile: "Ah, I

Lord Ximu. You must have discovered it, right?"

"So, the 'Daughter of Sithis' born by the Night Mother is actually the 'divine body of Mephala', right?" Wu Chen simply asked directly.

"Yes, my lord." In the underground hall where corpses were burning with no one prying or listening, Astrid finally revealed the biggest secret in his heart: "Then my lord, I learned that Mephala is coming.

Tamriel, what would you do?"

"Obviously, like most people in Skyrim, I don't want to experience the crisis of plane fusion again." This is the responsibility of the lord and the challenge of the brave.

"Have you read the book "Rumors of the Spiral Skein"?" Astrid asked again.

"Not yet." Wu Chen seemed to have this ancient book in his lord's study, but he hadn't had time to read it yet.

Astrid read out the important contents of the book softly: "'The spiral yarn is the domain of Mephala.' Like Nirn, it has a tower in its center: "The Pillar Palace of Mephala"

Palace of Mephala"', 'Rotating around the columns like the spokes of a wheel are the Eight Strands of the Skein. Each strand has its own space, and each space is its own sin':

Lies, jealousy, corruption, fear, evil, murder, greed, anger.”

"This is Mephala's law." Wu Chen understood: "So she wants to take advantage of the collapse of the snow tower and throw her tower (law) into the sky."

"Yes, that's it." No wonder Astrid chose to meet the lord here and now. Obviously, the biggest reason behind it was that the lord did not hesitate to be hostile to the Whispering Lady Mephala and killed the ebony blade wielder.

Someone, Hologna. Even based on the simplest principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", Astrid would believe that Wu Chen is the person who can join forces to deal with this crisis.

"How to block Mephala's plane fusion?" Wu Chen asked directly.

"The Night Mother without the 'clown' is just a dead person lying in a coffin." Astrid already had a plan: "Kill the clown Cicero before the last rites."

"Huh?" The memory of the previous adventure suddenly emerged.

By the way, when he and his housekeeper were out on an adventure, Wu Chen encountered a broken carriage on the road to the northeast of Xueman City, near Loriius Farm. After talking to the man dressed as a clown next to the carriage, Wu Chen learned that

He was transporting his mother's body and didn't want the carriage to break down midway. The clown was Cicero, and the carriage was obviously the Night Mother.

The clown Cicero begged Wu Chen to go to the nearby Loreius farm and ask the farmer to help repair the carriage. When talking to the farmer, Loreius said that he suspected that the clown's coffin was filled with contraband, and quietly suggested that Wu Chen go to the farm to repair the carriage.

Report from the patrolling guards. These are also the two options given in the original plot. Choose the first option, persuade the farmer to repair the carriage, and get 400 gold coins from the clown Cicero. The other option is to report to the patrolling guards.

The clown was later arrested but soon released because the coffin contained indeed a corpse. Cicero, who was released later, would bloodbath the farm one night and kill everyone in the Loreius farm.

Wu Chen clearly remembered that he chose to believe the clown and persuaded Loreius to help repair the carriage that transported the night mother. Therefore, everyone at Loreius' farm survived.

"Why?" Astrid was puzzled by the Lord's choice.

"He is really sad, not pretending at all." Wu Chen gave his own answer: "If there were only contraband in the coffin, he would only be anxious but not sad. So I chose to believe him."
