"She is the new priest of Lady Decay." Thinking that Iola is still in an "uncivilized" state, I then added, "To be precise, it is not yet, she is still in the 'assessment period'. "She hasn't officially taken office yet." "Sure enough, I smell a strong Daedra smell from her body. I'm afraid Ms. Decay deliberately put it on her body." Flotra pointed out the abnormality on Iola's body with concern. . I put my nose out and sniffed carefully, but there was no suspicious sign left in the air. "Can you smell it?" "This smell is very hidden, as if Ms. Decay identifies her identity but does not want her to know it at the same time. But I am the prophet of the goddess Dibella, Andra said to Dide La's smell is always very sensitive - and vice versa. In additionhow did you and her meet? "I will tell you about my experience traveling with Iola some time ago - including the death in Markarth City. The encounter in the hall, the tracing of the location of the Temple of the Corrupted Lady, and the series of disturbances caused by the sacrifices - all were told to Flotela, but the specific treatment process in the temple was omitted by me. "So she also participated in my treatment?" Flotra frowned slightly, with a hint of panic in her tone, "Has she done anything else to me?" "No, she only used The arrow in your body was dissolved by the power of decay, and I never touched you again. " "Really What method did Ms. Decay use to cure me? I was too nervous when I saw her that day. So much so that I forgot about this important matter. ""Well, how could I see anything from the actions of a Daedra king" I noticed that Flotra's expression became a little strange. He asked her doubtfully, "What happened?" "I'm just a little worried. Andra and Deidra's attributes are completely conflicting. I'm afraid that Ms. Decay is secretly planting hidden dangers in me. This may "Bring me unexpected trouble." "Why don't you check if there is a mushroom tattoo on your chest when you are alone?" "Unlike a pure hedonist like Sangjian, Ms. Decay is real. She is a practical person, so she would not act in such a childlike manner. " My teasing failed to make Flotela relax. She still frowned, as if she was thinking of something not so wonderful. I remember Lady Decay once said that she had no interest in Flotra, and I believe that a Daedra king would not go back on his word and take the initiative to act contrary to his own words. "Didn't Ms. Decay already tell you that she's not interested in you in front of you? Isn't it recorded in history that Ms. Decay is a guy who doesn't keep her word?" "Nobut I" "Okay, no. You're just thinking nonsense, aren't you now intact? No trace left behind." I slapped Flotra's head gently, interrupting her unfounded worries. Unknowingly, the topic got dragged into a messy aspect, and I asked Flotra the question I had planned to ask before. Flotela is the prophet of Dibella, and Iola is the future female priest of decay. They are both clergy, and they must have something in common in their way of thinking. Through Floterra's feedback, I may be able to deduce ways to deal with Iola. "If I slaughtered all the Dibella Temple in Markarth City, how would you react after learning about this?" "But you have no motive for doing so?" "Uh I mean, if I If you do this." "Didn't you say that those people are 'false believers'?" Flotra didn't take my question seriously. It seems that I should ask in a different way. "If you were in Iola's position, how can I clear up your misunderstanding?" "WellI understand what you mean," Floterra did not answer me directly, but gave me another suggestion, "Actually, for people like us, only one way is enough to eliminate misunderstandings." "Oh? What kind of way?" "The status of those false believers in her mind must be only insignificant. The corrupt lady's dissatisfaction Ignoring you is the fundamental reason why she hates you. If you can let her feel the power of Lady Decay again, all misunderstandings will be melted away. " "That's true, but Lady Decay has already told you. But I will not appear in front of Eola, all things have to be handled by myself." "The Daedra kings have their own dignity, and they will not do everything by themselves; but unless there is an equally powerful god beside them. Despite obstacles, things always develop in the direction they want.¡± Hmm, does this mean everything is a general trend? I have never understood the reason why Ms. Decay asked me to come to assist Medenach. Now, under the guidance of Flotra, I finally figured it out. It turns out that Ms. Decay had already foreseen what would happen next. change. When Iola returns to the temple and sees the tragic situation in front of her, she will definitely feel resentful. Lady Decay naturally stopped paying attention to her, and Iola, who had lost her shelter and gave up on herself, would definitely find a new place to stay. It is not difficult to imagine that Iola must join the crow hag's camp. She has received similar invitations before. Now that the Crow Hag has declared war on the Mednaki, Iola has joined the ranks of the war and is completely on the opposite side of us. Lady Decay¡¯s plan is obvious, we just need to defeat Iola and capture her openly on the battlefield. After that, Iola became my prisoner, and she couldn't help but disobey me. By the way, according to the Decaying Lady, doesn't it mean that Medenach will be invincible in this war? Lady Decay would definitely like to see Iola return to the right path under my guidance, instead of me running around with my head in pursuit of Iola. It seems that we do not have the upper hand in the war. What methods will Lady Decay use to reverse the situation and win the battle for us? Calling in foreign aid? This is the simplest and most direct method. If a group of new troops suddenly come to fill our gap, the chances of winning will definitely be greatly improved. However, the only two people who have any connection with the Corrupt Lady - her spokesperson and her priest - are now facing each other tit for tat. The other false believers have long since died. I can't imagine what other forces she can mobilize to affect the overall situation. Inducing internal strife in the other party? As a Daedra king, Ms. Decay will usually have some crow hags offering sacrifices to her and praying for strength. In other words, if Ms. Decay opens her mouth, all the crow hags in Reach will have to do so even if they are not happy in their hearts. Kind words and coaxing. But if Lady Decay is willing to do this, there is no need for her to wait until now. Performing miracles on the battlefield? Impossible. Under the constraints of the Holy Spirit's rules, King Daedra cannot show his true form and strength in the mortal world. Give us power directly? Come on, give me a worthless ring and I'll have to moan about it for a while. Anyway, let¡¯s wait and see. ¡ ¡ Mednach¡¯s face was gloomy and his hands were trembling slightly. After reading, he took a deep breath to calm down his shocked mind, put the letter of challenge away in the drawer, stood up and walked around. "It's too bad that the war is coming so soon." "When did the other party agree to do it?" "Three days later." I smiled and comforted, "You should feel lucky that the other party is willing to tell us the time. If the other party is willing to tell us the time, "We didn't say a word, and waited until the enemy was approaching the city before shooting a letter of challenge with a bow and arrow. Then we didn't even have to prepare mentally." "You are quite optimistic" Mednach glanced at me sideways. His face was uglier than crying. "People at the top are not optimistic. How can you expect the people at the bottom to create miracles?" "This is the truth, but what we are talking about now is serious matters. We have not made sufficient preparations for war. This is not optimism. It can be made up for!" Mednach paced back and forth anxiously for a few times, probably thinking that it would be useless to worry here, and then asked me again, who was standing calmly aside. "You have been wandering around outside for a whole day. Do you have any reliable ideas that you can tell me?" "I once participated in the dragon-slaying battle with Xueman's legion, and also experienced several life-and-death battles with the comrades. Their I remember some tactics and training methods, but" I spread my hands helplessly and came to a regrettable conclusion, "Honestly, with less than three days left, I can't change anything. Things. What I can do now is probably some cleverness." Mednach nodded calmly and called the secretary outside the door. "Go ahead and ask everyone to put aside all irrelevant matters. , all the energy will be focused on the upcoming war, just like we arranged before!" After the secretary closed the door and left, Mednach walked up to me, "You can figure it out yourself, I have given you enough! I have the authority. I hope you can give me a surprise, even if it increases our chances of winning a little bit." I walked to the door of the hall with peace of mind, and turned back to make a promise to Mednach. "You can rest assured that the other side will lose this war." Mednach raised his head and stared at my back, "Where did you see it?" "Oracle." Mednach squeezed out a trace of tooA natural smile, "The oracle of the goddess Genales?" Actually, I have never communicated with Genales. All this is inferred from the oracle of the corrupt lady. If we lose, there will be no room for recovery. Iola will completely fall into the arms of the Crow Hag and become the successor of the Crow Hag. Of course, Lady Decay will not allow this to happen. "Absolutely." Whether it's Genales or Lady Decay, they are all well-known gods. No matter who gives the oracle, its weight is as heavy as a thousand. (To be continued.)
