The logic behind telling the Crow Rock Council that the Ebony Mine is not exhausted is this.

Behind all transactions are delivery benefits.

For now, Crow Rock, which cannot make ends meet, is a pure negative asset for the Redoran family. It only has the symbolic meaning of "an overseas territory" and has no actual benefits at all. And if it weren't for the first councilman to supplement the family's income by 20

Years ago, Crow Rock had already needed a lot of money from Redoran, the largest family in the Black Light City of Morrowind.

Just imagine how much this piece of bad land is worth? So instead of selling it at a low price and being criticized for "losing an overseas territory", it is better to hold it for a long time and use it to embody the symbolic meaning of "an overseas territory" to maintain the family.

reputation.

However, when it was learned that the ebony mine was not exhausted and that this piece of land that could not make ends meet was likely to turn a profit into a long-term profit. Then it was not just a symbolic "overseas territory", but had actual benefits. So

It seems that the increased selling price due to the increased value of the minerals will tempt the Redoran family. And as the continued environmental management of Morrowind pays off, compared with the Red Year Catastrophe two hundred years ago, the living environment of Morrowind has improved.

It has been improving. This is one of the main reasons why many dark elves who have been exiled overseas choose to return to Morrowind to settle.

Therefore, "an overseas territory" is obviously not the core interest of the Redoran family, whose business focus has always been in Morrowind, so it has options that can be traded. As long as the price is right, the transaction can be done openly to avoid unnecessary black-box operations.

What's wrong with military disputes and political gains and losses?

What's more, the person who clearly expressed his willingness to buy was Lord Ximu, who owned the law and a gold mountain.

The law and the golden mountain are a combination of 1+1>2.

This also means that the transaction with Baron Ximu will not only achieve short-term economic benefits, but also medium- and long-term political benefits.

In a word, if you don’t talk about politics, don’t talk about economics.

As soon as they returned to the New Sword Wind, the captain of the New Sword Wind, Stormblade Angie, who acted as the "First Lady", entered the cabin to report that a New Temple priest was visiting.

"Aphia Velothi?" The Lord seemed somewhat impressed.

Dawn Warhammer Xili thought: "The master is the wife of the old miner Clayius Carelius."

"Ah, please come in." Wu Chen also recalled the previous conversation between the two. The old miner Clesius told the lord that his wife was a priestess of the new temple.

"Good day, Lord Baron." A dark elf priestess saluted respectfully.

The husband-and-wife combination of the old man of the empire and the dark elf shows that there must be true love between the two. Because as we all know, the dark elf has a long life that is several times or even ten times longer than that of a human being. Just a few decades are not even enough for a dark elf.

Grow up. This means that the life of two people as a couple across races is extremely precious.

"Good day, madam. How can I help you?" The lord showed full kindness.

"That's right, sir." The dark elf priestess took out two letters and handed them to the housekeeper: "I did encounter some difficult things."

After confirming that it was correct, the housekeeper handed it over to the lord.

The lord chooses one of the letters to open:

"Priestess Velotti, please note to you or anyone reading this, I need your help. Well, it's obviously a stupid thing to do to write this distress letter, which is certainly the stupid thing you are reading.

letter. You wouldn't stare at a piece of paper without reading it, would you? Unless you were illiterate or crazy. Not mad with anger, but 'I cut my toenails with a fork'

'Go crazy. You know what I mean. Point is, I think I've found Sotha Sil's Mask, located in Kagrenzel, a dwarven labyrinth with an astonishingly high number of vowels. It's located in Veloth

High up in the mountains, and you're a Velos too! Funny what a coincidence. Now there's just one question. I'm stuck in some weird situation and I'm not sure where I am. We decided to camp here and let

A mercenary I hired to help. He can't write, read or put together a coherent thought, but that's why I gave him this letter. Really, I should leave the sphere with just a mask. You'd think I must know

Don't fall into such an obvious trap. But this sphere is glowy and cute, and a little lonely looking.

Side note, if you come to my rescue, don’t touch the sphere.”

Signed by Temple Priest Melita.

Not long ago, the Lord just returned from the Judgment Seat Temple of Tears of Ashes. Matron Delevlan told Wu Chen that the temple priest Melita had found clues to the mask of Sotha Sil. So Wu Chen

It was taken for granted that the temple priest Melita was the priest of the Judgment Seat Temple. However, now it seems that Melita is actually the priest of the new temple.

Otherwise, how could he send the distress letter to the priest of the new temple, Afia Velotti.

"So, this Priest Melita is your companion in the new temple?" The Lord felt that the conflict between the old and new beliefs in Crow Rock was far from over.

"They are also good friends who talk about everything." Dark Elf Priest Afia Velodi hurriedly added.

"Okay, ma'am." Wu Chen and the housekeeper looked at each other in tacit understanding. Obviously, the definition of "talking about anything" is very debatable. After the rise of the new temple, Almalexia was demoted to a temple saint. All goddesses

The worshipers were considered heretics and were persecuted. Referring to the religious background of the dark elves, Afia Velodi, who loves the new temple, and Melita, who secretly seeks refuge in the Tribunal Temple, it is obviously impossible for the two priestesses to be

Talk about anything.

Later, the lord opened a second letter:

"Priestess Velotti, this is a transcript of the letter we found in the archives. Your expertise in this area is required, as well as your discretion.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! 'You lost the temple, but you are not lost. The right place exists at the wrong time. You know, when the dome "Bar Dawu" cracks

, from its putrid yolk spilled dissenters and heretics, filled with the rock of lies and lies that made Othros and his reclamation. But in reality the bile spewed by the Rock of Lies could not long deceive the Lord of Truth.

"Baar Dau" is a huge meteorite hanging high above the city of Vivec. According to popular legend, in the distant First Age, when the three living gods stole the heart of Lorkhan,

After the divine power replaced the three demon gods, in order to retaliate against the elves who stopped worshiping the demon gods, the meteorite was thrown from the void by the mad god Sheogorath, one of the sixteen demon gods. However, it was thrown out of the void by the three living gods of the Tribunal.

Vivec of One stopped the fall. Vivec allowed it to continue to hang over the city, and sent down the oracle that if the people no longer loved him, then Baal Daur would fall and destroy the entire city. 4E 5 years

However, as far as Wu Chen knows, Elder Othelloth's extreme beliefs are not widely accepted by all residents of Crow Rock, and the priestess Aphea Velodi is banned from entering the new temple because she disagrees with the official stance of the new temple.

Obviously the "Lie Rock" in the letter is Crow Rock.

The signature "ALMSIVI" is the abbreviation of the three living gods of Morrowind Tribunal (Almalexia, Sotha Sil, Vivec).
