Lord Hunter needs a commission

Before the new era of the federation came, countless mages dreamed that one day they would be able to ignite the mystical fire of Mythra's core again, raise the city to a high altitude and be equal to the gods again, and rebuild this ancient civilization.

Of course, such attempts failed in the end without exception.

It's just that among the many people who pursue the glory of Netheril, only a few can realize the source of Netheril's prosperity, those scrolls, and the meaning behind the scrolls.

"Many people, even the vast majority of transcendents only know that the beginning of dividing the old era and the new era originated from the end of the last era, the twilight of the gods."

"Of course, according to the gossip from unknown sources, it can also be called the end of the death of the gods."

The old professor Tovdir made a joke, his tone was full of ridicule and ridicule to the gods of the old era, and then he said while drawing with chalk on a blackboard.

"But few people realize how long time has passed in our world, and how much history, civilization, and race have been buried in this innumerable time."

"According to some archaeological excavations, current scientific methods can detect ancient fossils that are at least tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. This also proves that the history of the world we live in is far more than what we know. Much more."

"In the river of time, even the former gods are just a bigger wave...and what about the other waves?"

"Then, can we draw a hypothesis, assuming that a long time ago, in the upper reaches of the river, did some powerful super ancient civilizations have been born in this world?"

"And magic, in the old days, was described as something derived from the goddess of magic weaving the magic net...Of course, we all know now that this is just bragging and nonsense. One of many lies woven."

Speaking of this, the old professor Tofter still taunted the gods who had withdrawn from the stage of history, and then continued.

"But the question is, where did the technology of magic originate? How did it come about? Who created the original magic? Who engraved the concept of magic in this world?"

"...Could you please tell me the main point? Professor Tovdir."

An Jie interrupted Professor Tofter's academic forum with a blank face.

"I'm not interested in history, background or even archaeology, so please explain directly what you found in Sattar?"

"Yeah, but I am very interested in this kind of historical academic forum."

Karen on Anjie's right side, holding a cup of black tea, said with great interest.

"Even if there are suspicions about the word count, it's still quite interesting to listen to as a story."

Chapter 112 The Academy of Winterhold, which specializes in digging ancestral graves

Skyrim Province is a very ancient land. In this land where the temperature is very low, many areas are shrouded in ice and snow, there are lofty mountains and various complex terrains, no one knows exactly how many ancient ruins are hidden.

But here in Skyrim, archaeological excavation has always had considerable risks, and the benefits are disproportionate to the risks.

A few years before Skyrim was merged into the territory of the Federation, many archaeological enthusiasts, or modern adventurers, brought shovels and pickaxes, and came to Skyrim from far away, for the prosperity of archaeology. Make a small contribution.

Of course, while contributing to the advancement of federal archaeology and the prosperity of the underground black market, a little income is also essential.

It's just that there are many people who come, but there are very few people who can really get a good income, go back to their hometown to get married, and live their lives peacefully without being entangled by some weird curse.

Most of these adventurers who came to dig archaeologically left behind among the many ruins and tombs in Skyrim.After a long time, when the blood cools down, no one will contribute to the archaeological excavations in Skyrim... except, the mages of Winterhold.

As this piece of land known as the Magic Desert since the old days, the Winterhold Mage Academy can be said to be a local magic institution born and bred.

Before Skyrim was annexed by the Federation, Winterhold Mage Academy was the only place in Skyrim to train spellcasters. Almost every incumbent Nord lord would have a mage who graduated from Winterhold Academy as an advisor.

With this, Winterhold College has developed and prospered despite the hostile attitude of the Nords.

But when the federation was established and the soldiers came to the almost closed sky, the mages of the academy decisively chose to quit, sold the Nord savages, and magnanimously abandoned many Nord lords and joined the federation. in the big family.

Although because of this, the College of Winterhold lost its power to interfere in the politics of Skyrim Province, but it was not a college that fought for rights when it was established, and it didn't care about this aspect at all.

In the past, he had a close relationship with the Nord lords, but he just prevented these barbarians who lacked a string in their brains from spying on the academy every day, lest they come to fight the autumn wind.

You must know that as a college specializing in academic research, archaeological excavation, geography, collection and dissemination of knowledge, in fact, the mages of Winterhold are quite unwilling to pay attention to the brainless Nord barbarians, and are more willing to use their fists. Teach these Nord savages what knowledge is power and posture is brewing.

So after the Federation promised to support their academic research and archaeological excavations, the mages of Winterhold abandoned the Nord barbarians who looked down upon them.

Even when the Nord rebels fanned the flames everywhere and carried out terrorist attacks, it was these Winterhold mages who couldn't stand the Nord savages who disrupted the archaeological work and killed him.

He used prophecy spells to locate the target, covered his body with buffs, jumped with space spells, and punched to death with his fists after landing, these Nord savages who have always hindered academic research and archaeological excavation work and caused trouble for others.

In order to commend the sharing of Winterhold College, the Federation has always turned a blind eye to these college mages who are thinking about digging people's graves all day long.

Anyway, these guys will only stare at the graves of the ancient Nords digging, which can be regarded as digging the ancestral graves of the Nords, and it will not hinder anyone.

……

"That is to say, Professor Toftil, your Winterhold College has recently surveyed an ancient Nord grave, are you going to dig someone's ancestral grave?" Kallen said with wide blue eyes. "Although I don't know much about academic issues, isn't this practice of digging people's ancestral graves...a bit wicked?"

"What is digging someone's ancestral grave? Don't talk nonsense, we are making a great contribution to the academic research of all mankind and the archaeological world."

With an expression of excitement on his old face, Toftil shouted.

"In the past, in order to find the lost history and dig out the buried secrets, the College of Winterhold has had great goals and firm beliefs throughout the ages. We..."

"So, what did you find this time?"

Anjie interrupted old Professor Tofter's words.

"Although I know that you are measuring something everywhere in a place called Sattar, and it has lasted for nearly ten years, what made you hesitate for so long?"

"Forehead."

Tovdir, who was interrupted by An Jie again, showed an embarrassed look on his face, but soon he became serious and said in a solemn tone.

"Our college has detected a very powerful energy in Sattar, which is buried deep in the ground. The energy is quite huge. Judging from the existing information, once it gets out of control, it is very likely to cause A terrible explosion."

"As for how much damage it will cause, we can't judge it until we see the real thing."

"So Winterhold College intends to ask the Federation to help?" Charlotte asked. "But it has nothing to do with the Hunter's Guild. Why do you ask for the help of the Hunter's Guild?"

"Actually, the huge energy we detected is not as dangerous as imagined. On the contrary, this energy is very stable, even beyond our previous understanding of magic." Afterwards, we decided to go deep into the location of this energy to conduct further observation and evaluation."

"However, after our investigation, we found that there seemed to be caves and underground relics under the ground of Sattar, and judging from past experience, whenever there are underground relics and magic is involved, there will be many difficult problems monster."

"It means that we, the Hunter Guild, have been asked to help clean up monsters in an underground ruin?" Charlotte said, "But, according to what you said, I'm afraid this is not an easy job, at least there is a shortage of people."

"No, we don't plan to go deep in and dig out the source of that energy."

Tofter shook his head and replied.

"Right now, the three are from the Hunter's Guild, the Church of Destiny, and government agencies, each representing semi-official organizations, religions, and the official government. This time, our College of Winterhold only intends to excavate the underground ruins and evaluate them, and then Then decide how to proceed with the development of Progress One, and I invite you all to conduct a professional analysis of the underground ruins."

"I understand, let us represent the forces behind each of us to be a witness..." Karen nodded and said, "Is that what you mean, Professor Tovdir?"

"That's right." Toftil said, "Our college has always been based on academic research, and this archaeological excavation is also the same, and it will definitely not be involved in any profit distribution."

(PS: It’s cool at five o’clock, codeword crematorium, a little slower, let me save some drafts, and then five o’clock)

Chapter 113 Ulfric? Kaolin Sage

But anyone who knows the mages of Winterhold College in Skyrim Province is quite speechless about these maverick mages. Basically, seven or eight out of ten will think that these mages have been affected by the Nord barbarians all the year round, which leads to brain damage. There is also a string missing.

The specific situation is that the mages from Winterhold College are more keen on using fists than using spells, and each of them has a fit body that is not commensurate with the mage profession.

Even if it is a bad old man who is 80 or [-] years old, as long as he graduated from the Academy of Winterhold, he will definitely have six-pack abs under the baggy old clothes, and he has boxing skills comparable to that of a monk. The kind that kills a cow and a Nord barbarian with one punch.

In addition, the mages of Winterhold College give the insiders the greatest understanding because they are quite keen on digging people's ancestral graves, and they especially like to survey and dig the ancestral graves of the Nords. Feeling uncomfortable.

MD~ A good group of mages would definitely be a powerful evil force in the old days. Why is it that the group is a group of mentally retarded people? As for the ancestral grave of the Nord barbarians?

Many people have cursed in their hearts the mages of Winterhold College who have collectively flooded their heads. Among them, how many of them had malicious intentions and planned to fool these mages for their own interests but were rejected simply and rudely? And I got it.

In short, looking at the entire Federation, the mages of Winterhold College are also an extremely unique group of people.

After all, the mage organization that specializes in making trouble with people's ancestral graves has been repeated in the old era and the new era, and they are probably the only ones.

Of course, in today's era, no matter how much they peek at the tombs of the ancient Nords, these mages have to abide by the order of the Federation, and they cannot dig the tombs of the Nords as they want.

Some escalation approvals are still required.

And even if the speed of approval is generally very fast (mainly because no one is willing to provoke these mages who have trouble with other people's ancestral graves, the bureaucratic system has always given the green light in this matter), But the necessary witnesses still had to be there.

If it's just an ordinary tomb, you can just assign someone from Dugu City to visit it.

But if the tomb to be dug is not an ordinary tomb, but a super-large underground relic, not only will there be many corpses, but there will also be more monsters... mass graves.

Yes, that's right.

The ancient Nords generally used public burials. Generally, a tomb was dug out, and then everyone used it together until it could no longer fit, or was forced to be abandoned due to haunting.

Under such circumstances, after the Winterhold College made a report, the higher-ups would usually coordinate with all parties to send an official person over.

Of course, it is still a formality.

After all, the excavation of such a long-standing large-scale relic cannot be completed in a day or two, and it is normal for it to be delayed for several years or even ten years.

During this process, the government agencies can be careful, lest when a troublesome monster suddenly emerges from the ground, it is too late to mobilize manpower to deal with it and cause heavy casualties.

……

After knowing the whole story, Charlotte suddenly realized why Vesemir would show such a mysterious expression when he was in Livia City, but said that this task was nothing.

Feelings, this is just a formality for him!

This, this, this... is just too good.

'Sure enough, is the time turning around? ' thought Charlotte in her heart. 'Just as a representative, well, I like this kind of work, at least it's better than working hard with a devil. '

"Do you have any questions?" While Charlotte was thinking, Toftdir, who had already told everything, looked at the three young people sitting together in front of him.

"I'm fine." An Jie nodded. "I will still report to my superiors through remote communication later on. If it does not involve the scope of my agency's responsibilities, we will not do anything to stop it."

"It's the same here." Kallen immediately interjected, "But if there are any dangerous factors found in the ruins, if the power of Winterhold College can't solve it, then St. Freya College, which belongs to the Church of Destiny, will intervene."

"Okay," Tolfdir said. "If there is a problem that even our academy can't solve, then it is estimated that there will be no one side in the entire sky." After speaking, Tovdir turned his attention to the last person who hadn't spoken yet.

Not only him, but even the two girls who were also sitting on the sofa turned their heads and looked at Charlotte.

"...I have no objection." Facing the eyes of several people, Charlotte shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't care. The power to make the decision, but what about him?

Well, it’s not as good as it is... With the urinating nature of an idle organization like the Hunter’s Guild, he himself is not so much here to represent the Hunter’s Guild, but rather to be pushed out to support the situation. By the way, let’s take a look. No to pull a batch of orders to the guild.

So what confidence can he have?

"In that case, please, the three of you, sign the agreement."

Seeing that Charlotte had agreed, Tovdil was very happy, and quickly took out the documents and pens he had prepared early in the morning, and placed them in front of the three of them.

Charlotte subconsciously looked at the paper on the table. After omitting most of the nonsense, she looked straight at the line of signatures at the bottom.

[First-level professor of Winterhold College: Tovdir]

[Honorary Professor of Winterhold College: Sibilly Sdent]

[Mayor of Dugu City: Elixir]

……

[Sponsor of Windhelm City: Ulfric? Kaolin Sage (kaolc mrots)]

……

"..." Charlotte was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned out and pointed to one of the signatures on the treaty. "Excuse me, I want to ask, who is this person?"

"Oh, Ulfric," Tolfdir replied with a look. "He is a Nord born and raised in Windhelm, and now he is one of the few merchants in the sky, specializing in tourism, fur and timber business, and is one of the financial sponsors of our college."

"Yeah, what a strange last name!" Karen looked at the name Charlotte pointed at, and laughed happily. "Isn't this too strange? Hahahahaha..."

"Eh..." Toftil was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. "Ulfric's family was once prisoners and slaves in the old days, but after the Federation annexed Skyrim Province, his family took the opportunity of the war to get rid of their past identities, and climbed step by step. stand up."

"And this surname... is said to be derived from the ancestors of their family. Although it is a bit strange, it is not easy to change it."

Chapter 114 Very Synchronous

In the Commonwealth, due to a large number of customs and cultures left over from the old times, there are often some extremely special circumstances in terms of first and last names.

In the old days, surnames were often belonging to the ruling class and a status symbol of the aristocratic class, while it was difficult for commoners to climb to the upper echelons of society.

But there are always exceptions to everything. When a commoner, due to various factors, gets a chance by chance, he will be granted the right to a surname. At this time, he can only barely squeeze into the noble class and become the bottom of this class. That is, the ranks of gentlemen.

But at that time, having an identity and not having an identity were two different things. With an identity, one would have a surname, and with a surname, one would have an inheritance. With an inheritance, one might develop into a family one day in the future.

Perhaps it is to stabilize the rule, or to maintain the vitality of the class. In short, in the old days, the rulers and nobles did not completely lock the path of the lower class to climb up. After the lower class people stepped into this circle through hard work and luck, what they gained My surname is sometimes strange.

What Hellscream, what Lightbringer... Often some titles will become the surnames of these newcomers.

And this legacy has also come to a new era.

Although in the current era, it is not so important to have a surname. Just like Charlotte, he does not have a surname. As an orphan, he naturally does not have a surname that looks tall, but he is still Live how you want to live.

I didn't see him without a surname, so he couldn't read and write, couldn't he?
