Søren landed softly on the balcony.
He quickly cast Invisibility on himself and walked out of the noble district. He had gotten quite a lot from that trip. He had found over a hundred Kindler Coins in the hidden compartment. Including the jewelry and the ring, he could get about three hundred Kindler Coins worth of profit. Of course, that was not counting the value of the energy ring. Otherwise, the ring alone would be worth about two thousand Kindler Coins. He would have to wait until he opened the safe.
As for the two unlucky fellows, Søren did not care about them at all. He was leaving Whiterun the next day.
It was about time for the skinning incident to spread to Whiterun. The skinning incident had affected the entire southern region, which meant that skinning incidents had occurred in most of the cities in Whiterun. The purpose of the skinning incident was to spread fear and strengthen the power of a certain demon from the abyss. Søren did not know the specifics. He did not have access to such high-level missions at the time.
The effect of Invisibility was very powerful.
Søren swaggered out of the noble district. When he passed by an alley, he suddenly saw a shadowy figure sneaking around.
"The Shadow Council? Or the Masked Walker? "
Soran suddenly stopped in his tracks and hid behind a wooden crate to observe the silhouette. Without night vision, Soran could not see the figure clearly. He looked around cautiously, then opened the cover of Whiterun's sewer, and quickly dived into the sewer. Soran did not follow them. This was a very dangerous thing to do. He was able to live until he reached the realm of legends because he was not overly curious and wanted to find out the truth of everything.
He retreated from the alley and hurried back to his place.
There were many disputes before the Time of Troubles. The most active ones were the Children of God, the Shadow Mask, the Druil Cult, and a mysterious organization called the Godslayer. There were many legendary existences among them. If he accidentally bumped into them, he would die at their hands. Søren did not want to see them now.
After returning to his residence, Søren took out the safe and took out some tools to unlock it.
After some effort, he still didn't succeed. He could only use a more violent method to break the lock from the gap. Fortunately, this wasn't a magic lock. Ordinary locks, no matter how precise they were, could still be broken by brute force. After opening the box, Søren couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression, because inside the box was a property deed. This kind of thing could be reissued through the City Hall, and there was no way to exchange it for any money. However, when he flipped open the contract, what he saw made him hold his breath.
It was a very familiar card!
It was not the card Søren had once obtained, but a higher-level Arcane Card.
"This!?"
Søren's expression suddenly became very disappointed. When he flipped open the card, he noticed that there was already an image on the front of the card. This meant that the card had been used before, and the mana on it had already disappeared. What appeared on the card was a mechanical arm. It looked a bit like the arm of a steel golem. There were hexagram runes on all four sides, and a mysterious black vortex behind it. It seemed like this card had been kept for a long time. There were some light scratches on it, and they didn't look like they were left there recently.
"A golem's arm?"
Søren picked up the Arcane Card and carefully examined it. He muttered to himself, "Is this one of the cards in the Combination Deck? That woman has no combat ability at all. How could she have something like this? "
Arcane Cards were very mysterious.
Søren knew a little more about the Card of Many Things, but he didn't know much about Arcane Cards.
He only knew that Arcane Cards could be combined, allowing the user to summon a powerful creature, or temporarily gain a powerful ability.
For example, three different wind elemental cards could summon a legendary Elder Wind Elemental!
This was the only Arcane Card that he had collected, and it was very popular for a period of time. Even Søren was very tempted and wanted to assassinate that guy.
A row of data suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
"Enchanted Armor Arm [Arcane Card] obtained! … Do you want to repair it?! … "
Enchanted Armor?!
Søren was stunned for a moment, and then he tried to repair it, "Repair it."
A row of data appeared again:
"Enchanted Armor Arm [Arcane Card] required 80,000 Soul Points to repair! … Insufficient Slaughter Experience Points! Unable to repair! … "
80,000 Slaughter Experience Points?
Are you kidding me? That much Slaughter Experience Points should be enough for me to level up to Grade 3.
Soran was speechless as he looked at the Arcane Card in his hand. He carefully observed the scratches on the card, which seemed to be made by a sword. The card's texture was very hard, so it took a lot of effort to leave a mark on it. He had heard of Enchanted Armor before. It was a product of the Arcane Empire, and it was one of the standard equipment in the floating city. It was a top-grade product in the golem domain. Golems were relatively common in this world. They were one of the standard equipment in the wizard tower. If you went to the wizard city, you could even see Golem patrol guards.
Golems were from clay golems, stone golems, iron golems, and even steel golems. Although they were not weak, there was a limit to their strength. Even the strongest Diamond Golems only had the combat strength of a Tier 4 Magic Beast. The only Legendary golem structure that was developed during the Arcane Empire was the Enchanted Armor in front of him, or it was called Enchanted Skeletal Armor. There were some Enchanted Skeletal Armor in the ruins at the bottom of the sea, and it almost destroyed the legendary team that Søren joined.
"What's the use of having only one arm?"
Søren put down the card in disappointment and continued to rummage through the contents of the safe. There were some jewels in it, which comforted him a little. He threw the Arcane Card into his multi-dimensional bag. It was useless to him for a short period of time. Søren could not spend so much Slaughter Experience Points to repair it. Besides, what was the use of repairing an arm?
Could he rely on an arm to fight for him?
A full set of Arcane Cards would at least include the head, the limbs, and the power unit. No matter how strong the Enchanted Armor was, it was not worth wasting his precious Slaughter Experience on it.
The sky was starting to brighten.
Søren was in high spirits. He played with the Energy Ring in his hand and observed its properties. This was one of the most common Rare-grade items, and it came with a Ring of Protection. The Energy Ring could shoot a ray of energy, and the Ring of Protection could create a 100-point defensive force field. They were the best life-saving items in the early stages of the game.
Item Type: Energy Ring + 1.
Item Grade: [Rare (Grade 1)]
Item Description: A ring enchanted with alchemy. After activation, it can shoot a 36-point Spell Power Energy Ray. It can be recharged with alchemy.
Requirements: None.
Effect: Energy Ray (1/1).
The recharging of the ring was very simple. He just needed to set up an alchemy circle and use alchemy to convert some gems into energy. Søren used to wear a + 3 Energy Ring and a + 3 Ring of Protection. They were the items that were second only to Legendary. The Ring of Protection, in particular, had saved his life several times.
After the sun rose.
Søren walked back to the caravan's base as if nothing had happened. He did not leave any traces of what he did last night, and neither of them saw his face clearly, so he was not worried about being discovered. However, the security in Whiterun seemed to be a lot stricter than yesterday. He wondered if they had notified the guards, but being robbed in the middle of the night was probably not something to be proud of.
When Søren arrived at the caravan's base, he was surprised to find that the place was also heavily guarded.
Before Søren could say anything, the mistress of the caravan said with a serious expression, "Someone was skinned last night!"
'What?!'
Søren's expression changed slightly, and he said without hesitation, "Where's Vivian? I want to take her away from here! "
The mistress of the caravan stared at him and said slowly, "So you do know something. No wonder you left Whiterun with me that day. Did you already know what disaster was going to befall Whiterun? "
The Skinning Incident.
It was the biggest chain of events in the South.
Søren was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't know much about it. I only know that it's a sacrificial ritual of some evil god. It might affect many places, and the Fallen will bring a lot of slaughter and death. Fear will spread everywhere. "
"I knew it!" The mistress of the caravan had a look of understanding on her face. "So that's why you want to take Vivian away? To the elves' territory? It's the territory of the Forest Goddess, and it's hard for the Fallen to sneak in. "
Søren did not know how to answer, so he nodded slightly.
He could not tell her about the upcoming Time of Troubles, so he could use the Skinning Incident as an answer. After all, it was just the beginning.
The mistress of the caravan hesitated for a moment, then took out a file and handed it to Søren. She said seriously, "How much do you know? This is what the Witch Council told me. There was a mass suicide in Psalm City! There were thousands of people who watched a bard's performance, and hundreds of them committed suicide that night, including high-grade clerics. "
"Does this have anything to do with the Skinning Incident?"
'Hellpoemer?!'
Søren looked at the file with a serious expression, then slowly said, "It shouldn't have anything to do with it. That bard might be one of the legendary characters. Have you heard of the [Hellpoemer] before? "
The mistress of the caravan trembled and murmured, "Hellpoemer?! … Didn't he fall hundreds of years ago? … "
Sauron glanced at her and finally decided to tell her what he knew. He said in a deep voice, "It was only his body that died. At the moment of his death, he made a deal with the devil in hell."
'Hellpoemer.'
One of the only three legendary bard in the world!
