Chapter 640 1.639 Why Marwen Blackthorn?
During this period of time, the lord's Nightshade spies were the main ones, and the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood were supplemented, looking for the 24 Barenziah Stones scattered across the sky.After the stoneless crown is embedded, the lord will get the last prophecy clue about the "Book of Dragonborn".And there is a high probability of getting enlightenment related to the follow-up plot.
The process of collecting Barenziah stones cannot be omitted.And similar to this kind of work of running errands all over the world, the lord does not need to do it himself.After returning to Gray Rock Castle, except for spending time with his female companion day and night, the lord spent almost all his free time on handling the government affairs of the territory.Speaking of returning to the sky, the lord has not been so diligent.
"Master, the dean of the Dwemer Mechanical Academy, and the mayor of Ximu City. Do you have a suitable candidate?" The housekeeper who accompanied the lord was always busier than him.Because almost all the specific work is handled by the housekeeper.Then it is distributed downwards by category and handed over to a special person to complete.
"Do you have any suitable candidates?" The lord is used to brainstorming.After all, Mrs. Gissying, who can be selected by the housekeeper, all have their own talents and intelligence.and their respective fields of expertise.
"Speaking of which, only the capitals of the nine lords in Skyrim can be compared with our Ximu City. These nine cities are all controlled by the nine lords themselves. So we only know the most about the mayor level. "Twilight and Wind Cattleya, who managed the lord's study together with Dawn Hammer Siri, always spoke straightforwardly.As a well-informed Nord adventurer, the addition of Twilight and Wind Cattleya makes Dawn Hammer Siri, who is also a famous adventurer, feel like a fish in water.The two are definitely a strong combination of 1+1>2.
"Cattleya is right." Dawn Hammer Siri obviously agreed: "The size of Skyrim's city limits the upper limit of government talents. Most of the mayor candidates with similar experience will retire in the imperial capital." The implication is, either Retired or inactive for some reason.Even so, these people would rather die of old age than go to the icy and snowy province of Skyrim in the northern border of the empire to serve a Nord lord.
"The imperial capital is too far away, and the civil war is far from over. Don't have too many 'fantasy' associations with Cyrodiil at this time. This option also applies to Ulfric Stormcloak's Windhelm. "Balgrove the Strong" Snowrun Lord who followed him and remained neutral in the civil war locked his eyes on the province of Skyrim: "Is there any suitable candidate in Skyrim?"
"Maven Black-Briar in Rift Valley and Thongvor Silver-Blood in Markarth City." Sinette's mother Yige, who managed the Astrology Pavilion, gave the advice. Rod Raven.As one of the nine lords who had just abdicated to give way to the virtuous, her proposal must have the foresight of the nine lords.
Unlike Windhelm, Snowman, and Rift Valley, which each had two noble clans, Markas City has only one Silver-blooded clan.The Silver Blood clan controls the silver mines, prisons and even hotels and inns in Macarth.It is a powerful family not inferior to Blackthorn.In the whole city, it is not Markarth Lord Igmund who has the most say, but Songwa and Tonar of the Silver Blood Clan.
Sonvar Silverblood is a staunch supporter of the Stormcloaks.It is believed that Sonvar Silverblood has reached a private agreement with Ulfric Stormcloak, and that when the Stormcloaks successfully capture Markarth, he will become the new Lord.
The Blackthorn Clan in Rift Valley City is a supporter of the empire. Marwen herself runs the popular Blackthorn Honey Winery and family farm, and has close ties with the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. The relationship with Laila the "Law" is also very good. It can be said that she is a true black and white female boss. She is cruel, cruel and arrogant. She will use the power of the Thief Society and the Black Brotherhood to persecute opponents. Anger dare not speak, although the ability is outstanding but not attractive.
The two cities also share the same disease.
Markarth and the Rift, one haunted by Forsworn, one by Thieves Guild meddling.Two lords, one subject to Blackthorn and the other subject to Silver Blood.The lord's influence on the territory is very limited, while Silver Blood and Black Thorn have used their strong financial resources and various behind-the-scenes transactions to grab a lot of political privileges.
Compared with Marwen Blackthorn, Songwa Silverblood's methods are too arrogant, and the desire to control is too strong.Blackthorne is willing to cooperate with the empire and does not control military power. Its industries are mainly wine making and trade, and most of its work is solved secretly by the Thieves Guild.However, Yinxue dared to directly and blatantly bribe the city guards, and those who resisted were either executed or arrested.Moreover, Silver Blood's family business is supported by the mining industry, mainly relying on controlling the lifeline of the territory.Any powerful nine lords will not tolerate the existence of such family power.
Marwen Blackthorn of Rift Valley City and Songwa Silverblood of Macarth City, a man and a woman, one east and one west, are obviously not good friends.Randomly letting one of them be the mayor of Ximu is tantamount to bringing in the family power behind each.Secretly operating, using power for personal gain, there will be a day when the tail will never go away.However, on the other hand, the two do have superior vision and skills.
Without waiting for Mrs. Gissying in the study to object, the lord has already nodded happily: "Then invite Marwen Blackthorn to be the mayor of Ximu."
"Okay, master." Unexpectedly, the housekeeper seemed to have no doubts at all.
"Why Marwen Blackthorn?" After all, Twilight and Wind Cattleya has always been straightforward.
"A few days ago, Marwen Blackthorn's daughter, Yingan Blackthorn, Lilia Snowhoof, and Orfina Graymane attended the lord's castle dinner in the same carriage." The housekeeper told Gray Rock Castle that there is no secret The "Madame's Creed" is carried out to the end: "After the ball, our man went to the guest room where the three noble ladies rested, and 'personally' learned some unknown reasons behind it. He also 'personally' experienced the black thorns, snow hoofs, Greymane, Broken Shield and other major families in Skyrim have a strong desire to join Ximu (﹃*)..."
Hearing the housekeeper's eloquent narration, Mrs. Gissying, the daughter of the ocean, Monica, and the pupil of the starry sky, Asara Quinn Ville, who were sitting around the lord's desk, looked at each other tacitly.
"I understand." The lioness Mu Yueer, who manages the lord's showroom, nodded happily: "As long as you serve the "Golden Tree Law", Blackthorn, Snowhoof, Gray Mane, and Broken Shield will all become our vassal families."
"So, who does the master want to take into the castle and become the new Gisesh?" Monica, Daughter of the Ocean, asked with a smile.
"There is a saying in my hometown: 'Only children do multiple-choice questions.'" The lord frowned lightly.
"Hehehe..." Mrs. Gissying in the study was all amused by the lord's serious expression.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Master, let Murui, the pharmacist who arrived at the castle with Ingan Blackbrier, manage the medical room with Dlavinia the Stoneweaver."
Ingan Blackthorn's best friend, female pharmacist Cold-Aroma Lily Mu Rui, gave almost everything to the lord.With the continuous influx of memory copies, it is obviously reasonable for the lord's previous adventure companions to keep returning.
The old saying goes well: "The rich have distant relatives in the mountains."
What's more, Ximu City, which has become the end of the Silver Road, is not remote at all now, okay?Even without the reputation of "the end of the silver road", the brook before the civil war was the main road for travelers in the province of Skyrim.
"Who will the Dwarven Mechanics Academy be entrusted to, my master?" The housekeeper asked another personnel problem.
"Sister Phil." The lord has long been selected for this vacant position.
