Chapter 483 1.482 Two Letters from the Priestess

This is the logic behind telling the Raven Rock Council that the ebony mines are not exhausted.

Behind all transactions is the delivery interest.

As far as the current situation is concerned, 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 wasn't for the first member of the council to subsidize the family for 20 years, Crow Rock would have already needed the largest family in Morrowind Black Light City, the Redoran family.

Just imagine how much this rotten 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 reflect the symbolic meaning of "an overseas territory" to maintain the family's reputation.

However, when it is learned that the ebony mine has not been exhausted, this rotten land that cannot make ends meet is likely to turn losses into profits and make long-term profits.Then it is not just a symbolic "an overseas territory", but has actual benefits.Therefore, the price increase due to the increase in the value of the minerals will make the Redoran family tempted.And as the continuous improvement of Chenfeng's environment has paid off, compared with the Red Year catastrophe 200 years ago, the living environment of Chenfeng has been improving.This is also one of the main reasons why many dark elves living abroad choose to return to Morrowind to settle down.

Therefore, "a piece of overseas territory" is obviously not the core interest of the Redoran family whose business focus has been on Chenfeng, so it has options that can be traded.As long as the price is right, the transaction is clearly marked, and unnecessary military disputes and political gains and losses caused by black-box operations are prevented, what's wrong?
What's more, it is Lord Ximu who has the law and a golden mountain who clearly expresses his willingness to buy.

Law and Jinshan are a combination of 1+1>2.

This also means that the deal with Baron Ximu will not only obtain short-term economic benefits.There are also medium and long-term political benefits.

In a word, don't talk about politics, don't talk about economics.

As soon as he returned to the New Swordwind, the captain of the New Swordwind, Stormblade Angie, who acted as the "First Lady", entered the cabin to announce that a new temple priest had come to visit.

"Aphia Velothi?" The lord seemed somewhat impressed.

Dawn Hammer Siri thought: "Master, she is the wife of the old miner Cressius Carrelius."

"Ah, please come in." Wu Chen also remembered the conversation between the two of them earlier.The old miner Cressius told the lord that his wife was a priestess of a 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, dark elves have several times or even ten times as long lives as humans.Just a few decades is not even enough for a dark elf to grow up.This also means that this period of husband and wife life between the two people across races is precious.

"Good day, ma'am. Is there anything I can do for you?" The lord showed complete kindness.

"That's right, my lord." 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 them to open:

"Priest Vilotti, please pay attention to you or anyone who is reading this, I need your help. Well, it is obviously a stupid thing to write this distress letter, and of course this stupid one you are reading You don't stare at a piece of paper without reading it, do you (meaning do nothing)? Unless you're illiterate or insane. Not 'mad with rage' but 'I cut my toenails with a fork 'Crazy. You know what I mean. The point is, I think I've found Sotha Sil's mask in Kagrenzel, a dwarven labyrinth with a surprisingly high number of vowels. It's in Velos High up in the mountains, and you're from Velos too! Funny what a coincidence. Now there's just one problem. I'm stuck in some kind of fantastic situation and I'm not sure where I am. We've decided to camp here and let A mercenary I hired to help. He couldn't write, read or put together a coherent thought, but that's why I sent him this letter. Really, I should have left the sphere with just a mask on. You'd think I must know Don't fall into such an obvious trap. But this orb is glowing and cute, and it looks a little lonely.

Side note, if you come to rescue me, don't touch the sphere. "

The signature is Melita, the priest of the temple.

Not long ago, the lord had just returned from the Trial Seat Temple of Tears of Ashes.The mistress de Lefran told Wu Chen that the priest of the temple, Melita, had found clues to Sosa Hill's mask.So Wu Chen took it for granted that the temple priest Melita was the priest of the Trial Seat Temple.However, it now appears that Melita is actually the priest of the new temple.

Otherwise, how could the distress letter be sent to the priest of the new temple, Afia Vilotti.

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

"A friend who can talk about everything." Dark Elf Priest Afia Vilotti hastily added.

"Okay, ma'am." Wu Chen and the housekeeper looked at each other tacitly.Obviously, the definition of "talking about everything" is very debatable.After the rise of the new temple, Almalexia was demoted to the temple saint.All worshipers of the goddess were considered heretics and persecuted.With reference to the religious background of the dark elves, Afia Vilotti, who was looking for the new temple, and Melita, who secretly took refuge in the temple of the trial seat, it is obviously impossible for the two priestesses to talk about everything.

Later, the lord opened the second letter:

"Priest Vilotti, here is a transcript of the letter we found in the archives. Your expertise in this field, as well as your discretion, is required.

'You have lost the temple, but you are not lost.The right place was at the wrong time.Know that when the great egg "Baal Davu" cracked open, from its rotting yolk spilled dissidents and heretics, full of lies and lies that made Othellos and his reclamation.But in fact, the bile spouted by the rock of lies cannot deceive the minister of truth for long.The Inquisition will rise again, and the Grand Inquisitor will judge all over again. '"

Signed: ALMSIVI.

The "Baar Dau" is a huge meteorite that hangs high above the city of Vivec.According to the prevailing legend, in the distant first era, when the three living gods stole the power of Lockhan's heart to replace the three demon gods, in order to avenge the elves who stopped worshiping the demon gods, this meteorite was killed by one of the sixteen demon gods. Sheogorath, the mad god, is thrown from the void.But the fall was stopped by Vivec, one of the three living gods of the Tribunal.Vivec allowed it to remain high over the city, and decreed that if the people stopped loving him, Baal Daur would fall and destroy the city. In 4E5, as the divine power stolen by Vivec declined significantly, the giant egg Baal Dau fell from a high altitude, and finally destroyed the city of Vivec, leaving behind a huge crater, which later became the Land of Destruction. Bay (Scathing Bay).The tsunami caused by the impact swept across Morrowind and caused Red Mountain to erupt, destroying Vvardenfell.The Calamity of the Red Year ended the dominance of the Tribunal and the mainstream worship of the Three Gods.

"Othreloth" is Lder Othreloth, the elder of the new temple of Raven Rock.Go out of their way to call the cult of Azura, Mephala, and Boyesia the "True Tribunal" and go to great lengths to call Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec the "False Tribunal" False Prophets" and misled the people of Morrowind with "heart and deeds".

However, as far as Wu Chen knew, the extreme belief of the elder Othellos was not widely accepted by all the residents of Crow Rock, and the priestess Afia Vilotti was banned from entering the new Crow Rock because she disagreed with the official position of the new temple. shrine.

Obviously the "Rock of Lies" in the letter is Raven Rock.

The signature "ALMSIVI" is the abbreviation of the trinity of the three living gods (Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec) on the Morrowind Trial Seat.

So the second letter is actually a "propaganda leaflet for a cult".And it is very likely that it came from the Temple of the Trial Seat hidden in the Cave of Tears of Ashes that Wu Chen had just visited.
