"Among the five major Daedra war zones, Balgruuf of Whiterun has the greatest ambition and the highest popularity."
In the royal room on the top floor of the Rift Fortress, Lorifis explained her plan. Ren Xingmei listened and took notes, while Ren Suo sat next to Dong Chengling and translated for her. Now Dong Chengling was the only one who couldn't understand Daedra, and Ren Xingmei hadn't mastered it yet to the point of simultaneous interpretation, so the translation was naturally the responsibility of Ren Suo.
Ren Suo didn't mind the trouble. After all, he knew very well the feeling of "other people are talking about their own things but I can't understand them".
Although Dong Chengling didn't seem to care, she was reading a basic language textbook and nodding from time to time to indicate that she was listening, Ren Suo still patiently explained to her.
Ren Suo in this posture is naturally Ren Suo's real body.
After some twists and turns, Ren Suo finally accepted Loriface. Besides the fact that she was really pretty and could be put aside for eye candy, she also proved her worth: she really understood the situation of Daedra, which was totally beyond the reach of Sony, a fool.
Although Sony is standing high, he can only pee far at most.
Sony rarely pays attention to the currents of power within the empire, because he doesn't need to care at all. As long as Sithis successfully becomes the Armored Lord, he will either become the Grand Master of Menelaus or the Grand Master of his father.
Becoming a blood descendant of a great dharma means automatically mastering the highest authority, which can be described as ruling the world.
What is very different from Earth is that the Daedra Empire has completely adapted to the hierarchy of 'bloodline-descendants of gods-mortals'. Even if someone like Sony becomes a great master, he will automatically gain recognition from all living beings, and no mortal descendants of gods will try to resist.
Because the power of the Bloodline Law comes from the Grand Lord, and the Grand Lord signed an oath with the Daedra people in ancient times. As the price of protecting the Daedra, the Daedra people need to obey the Grand Lord absolutely. And this obedience is almost rooted in the genetic soul.
Only a very small number of Daedra could escape this fate. These few chose to rebel against the Grand Lord, gathered together and hid in the Black Drop Plane, calling themselves the Forsaken.
The Daedra, who cannot betray their oath, can only obey the game system set by the Grand Lord and follow their own class attributes.
In this case, Sony can gain power as long as he becomes the Bloodline Dharma Master, and no one will resist him, and his orders will be absolutely implemented. Of course, Sony will not spend time studying the so-called imperial mentality and understanding the situation of various forces.
But Loriface is different. She is just a weak person in this world full of power, but she is unwilling to succumb to this hierarchy, so she chooses to be obsessed with power and is proficient in scheming.
She had analyzed it clearly for Ren Suo. Even if Daedra opened the Gate of Annihilation and connected the two worlds, Ren Suo still had a problem that he couldn't solve in order to return to Earth from Daedra.
How did Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei travel back in time.
It was different from coming to Daedra. For the two of them, coming to Daedra was equivalent to being hooked by Sony's 'fishhook', but the 'fishing rod' was in the Daedra plane, so Ren Suo could easily take them to Daedra.
But Ren Suo couldn't help them when they traveled back. All Daedra traveled through the alien world on their own, and there was almost no such thing as hitching a ride with a companion or "please take me with you, big man".
Therefore, Ren Suo must prepare drive belts and travel cassettes for Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei. However, this is not a problem that can be solved by Ren Suo simply asking for supplies in the name of Sony Dafa. Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei are black households with no identity and no legal status.
The Daedra Empire system is almost flawless. The most important point is that all psychic armor, psychic belts, and psychic cassettes must be authenticated before use, and most equipment is bound to the user's identity and cannot be used by others.
This results in the so-called "weapons" being in fact tools perfectly controlled by the privileged class. Even if there are rebels like the Forsworn, they have to spend a lot of effort to crack the cartridges and belts, and they cannot fight to support themselves, so they have never become a force to be reckoned with.
Of course, with the identity of Sony Dafa, Ren Suo can easily obtain unbound belts and cartridges, but the fact that they are not bound does not mean that these things can be used at will. Otherwise, wouldn't someone rebel if they seized a large number of unbound cartridges?
It is not difficult to use unbound cartridges. If you are a Descendant of God, you can use and bind all ordinary cartridges of non-Descendant of God series at will. This means that adults over the age of 18 can surf the Internet freely without being restricted by anti-addiction systems or anti-underage viewing systems.
If ordinary Daedra want to use unbound cartridges, they need a God-descended noble or above to activate the unbound cartridges first. Only then can the Daedra bind and use the cartridges. This is equivalent to all Daedra being minors who need parental supervision. They need permission from their God-descended parents to play any games or watch any movies.
But here comes the problem: Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei are neither descendants of gods nor Daedra.
It has nothing to do with genes. The reason why they can't use the cassettes is because all the cassettes are extraordinary equipment made by the Great Lord. The cassettes contain the energy of the Great Lord. Every time you use the cassette, you are actually using the energy of the Great Lord. It's just that the Great Lord is constantly injecting energy into the surface world, so the cassettes can last infinitely.
The will of the Great Lord has always been watching over the world, and only those recognized by them are qualified to obtain extraordinary powers. The so-called identity binding is actually just the Great Lord renting out the cassette to mortals.
The only people who can use the Grand Lord's cartridge normally are the Daedra who abide by the Grand Lord's oath and pass the Grand Lord's energy verification. Therefore, the Oathbreakers who betrayed the oath need to crack the cartridge before they can use it.
Therefore, Loriface's suggestion is: in the name of Sony, try to collect cracked cartridges that can be used for dimension crossing. This is the only way at present.
But Ren Suo knew another way: after the Sixteen Lords were exiled by Los, the cartridges would naturally lose their restrictions, and then even the people on Earth would be able to use Daedra's extraordinary cartridges.
However, in addition to the need for crossing equipment, they also need to cross the environment if they want to escape from Daedra!
The Daedra plane is actually a besieged city. The reason why the Daedra Empire invades other planes so recklessly and the warriors fight bravely without any scruples is that they are sure that their own plane is very safe!
The entire Daedra plane is shrouded in a layer of time and space barrier. This is the wall that the sixteen great lords have spent countless years to build. It is the pride of Daedra. Because of the existence of this time and space barrier, other planes can hardly invade Daedra in the opposite direction, and Daedra will always be invincible.
But at the same time, this space-time barrier also restricts the Daedra from traveling through planes, so when Daedra warriors travel through planes, they almost always have to pass through specific locations, such as the Spider Silk Bed in the Rift Fortress.
When conducting the Bayonet Operation, the fortress commander opened the space-time barrier of the Spider Silk Bed, allowing the soldiers to pass through.
There are only five places in the Daedra plane that can open the space-time barrier, and they are the five major war zones!
Therefore, if Ren Suo and the other two wanted to go back, they had to first pass through the five major war zones, and then they could leave through the loophole in the space-time barrier!
"Of course, if you can take down Balgruuf, you don't have to go to the five major war zones. Instead, you can give an order to have the five major war zones open their time and space barriers. Then the Daedra can directly travel through any place."
Lorifis said: "According to the latest plane invasion records, as long as the five major war zones open the space-time barrier at the same time, the loopholes in the space-time barrier will not be limited to those five locations. All places in the plane will become a sieve for arbitrary entry and exit."
"But this is very risky. Crossing an unstable area may lead to danger. According to the information I found, the mortality rate is about 33%. One out of every three people who cross randomly will be torn apart by the turbulence of time and space."
"Whatever you choose, Balgruuf is your target."
Lorifis pointed at the golden-haired descendant of God on the projection screen: "Among the five major war zones, Stone Fortress, Solitude Blue Palace, and Windhelm White Palace are all neutral or pro-priest factions. Only Blackthorn of Rift Fortress and Balgruuf of Whiterun are not in harmony with the Empire, but are trying to expand their strength and improve their popularity... When necessary, Balgruuf may not listen to Sony."
Ren Suo was a little confused: "But I think Black Thorn is still very respectful to me..."
"Whether human or god-descended, don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does." Lorifis shook his head. "You have already taken down Blackthorn, let's not talk about it for now, but Balgruuf has been interfering in every aspect of Whiterun in recent years, turning Whiterun into his own castle, deliberately cultivating the pride of the Whiterun people and making them despise people from other regions... Balgruuf doesn't like the current empire and is working hard to cultivate his own team."
"Besides, Balgruuf has the support of Lord Farkas, so he doesn't have to give you face." Lorifis said, "If you want to be absolutely sure, it's best to remove Balgruuf and replace him with someone who will listen to you. Then, no matter which war zone you go to, you will be able to open the time and space barrier and travel through it."
Ren Suo nodded silently. At this time, Dong Chengling suddenly said something to Ren Suo, and then Ren Suo asked Lorifis: "What about you? You instigated me to capture Balgruuf. What good will it do for you?"
Loriface restrained his smile and said coldly: "Revenge."
"revenge?"
"Balgruuf is the leader of the Werewolf Companions. The Companions is an organization founded by Apostle Farkas. Los is also a member of the Companions. But when Los was imprisoned, it was Balgruuf who ordered Los to be abandoned and expelled from the Companions."
"Blackthorn is Los's direct enemy, and Balgruuf is Los' indirect enemy. Los has won so much military benefits and reputation for the Companions. The Apostles' organization promised mutual benefit and mutual assistance, but after Los got into trouble, they just threw him away like garbage. I can't pretend nothing happened."
"It would take Ross ten years to get revenge, but my revenge is as quick as possible, from morning till night. Now that Ross can't get revenge, I will make those people pay the price on his behalf."
Seeing the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him say such vicious words, Ren Suo felt a chill run down his spine.
The most important reason why Ren Suo accepted Lorifis was not because of Lorifis's talent, but because she was Los's sister.
What else could Ren Suo do? Kill her?
Regardless of whether Los would kill him or not, Los is now working hard to stop the war between the two worlds and exile the feudal lord. Moreover, he was cleared by Ren Suo himself, so he can be said to be a game character that Ren Suo raised with great care.
Even if Ren Suo was in the bloodless and tearless Sony state, he couldn't be cruel to this beautiful silver-haired girl who was fighting for Los with all her heart.
We can't kill her, but if we let her go we're afraid something might happen, so it's better to just keep her by our side and let Lorifis act as a consultant and tutor to help Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei learn about Daedra.
"And if you're not lying to me, Los has now joined the Forsworn and become a traitor against the Empire."
Lorifis said calmly: "In order for Los to overthrow this country better, Xueman must change a master who has no ambitions to reduce the difficulty of Los' rebellion."
There were conditions for Lorifisken to join them. The most important one was that Ren Suo promised not to attack her, and the second was that Ren Suo had to guarantee Los's safety.
After thinking it over, Ren Suo not only agreed, but also deceived Lorifis in the name of Sony: the Forsaken who was imprisoned was actually looking for a Dragonborn, the son of destiny. Now Los can actually lead the Forsaken to escape from prison. If Los and the Forsaken leave together later, then Los must be the Dragonborn that the Forsaken are looking for, and he is destined to overthrow the empire!
Later, Los teleported away with the Forsaken, which confirmed Ren Suo's statement. Although Lorifis was skeptical about the so-called Son of Dragon Destiny, he was very sure that 'Los would overthrow the empire'.
After a night of discussion, Ren Suo finally had a clear idea of what to do next.
Seeing that it was almost time, they took a shower and rested. During this time, Loriface gave Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei extra lessons, helping them learn the most basic Daedra vocabulary and teaching them the skills of learning the Daedra language.
"Cheng Ling..."
Before going to sleep, Ren Suo called Dong Chengling, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Dong Chengling, who was listening to the class, looked over and couldn't help but smile. He signaled to Loriface and pulled him out to the living room.
The beautiful tutor Loriface looked at the door, then looked at the female student in front of her, and asked, "You want to go over too? Then let's take a break?"
"No," Ren Xingmei quickly shook her head: "You continue to teach."
About a few minutes later, Ren Suo and Dong Chengling both came back with a satisfied look on their faces. Ren Suo happily lay down on the sofa and fell asleep, while Dong Chengling continued to attend class and study.
Lolifis glanced at Ren Xingmei and nodded at Ren Suonu. Ren Xingmei shook her head slightly to avoid Lolifis's hint.
After studying for another ten minutes, they also needed to rest, so the three of them slept together on the big bed, with Loriface sleeping in the middle.
The lights became dim and sleepy, and the room was silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Ren Xingmei suddenly felt a weight on her chest. She opened her eyes and saw Loriface's little white-haired face pressing against her chest.
Ren Xingmei looked at Dong Chengling on the other side, lowered her voice, and asked in Daedra: "What are you doing?"
"Well, what's your relationship with him?" Loriface asked.
"What's it to you?" Ren Xingmei's Daedra language improved rapidly.
Loriface didn't mind at all and guessed, "I see, both of you are in a relationship with him, but the one with big breasts is the favored lover, and you are the disfavored lover, right?"
"Bullshit!" Ren Xingmei was furious and said in a low and hurried voice: "He is my brother, he and I are not lovers!"
"Oh, so you're the sister who fell from favor, right?"
"I'm not out of favor! Brothers and sisters aren't as close as lovers!"
"Oh, is that so?" Loriface smiled, stared into Ren Xingmei's eyes and said, "But you don't seem to be satisfied with the current distance."
Ren Xingmei felt inexplicably guilty when she looked at her: "No way, don't talk nonsense."
"When that busty girl pulled him out just now, I saw your eyes almost bulged out, and you wanted to teleport over there."
“No, no…”
"You and I are just strangers. I don't know your past, and I'm afraid I can't see your future. Is there any point in lying to me?" Loriface said, "Don't pretend not to care. Unless you really don't care, you will regret it."
Ren Xingmei was silent.
After a long while, she suddenly asked, "Daidra's brothers and sisters also grew up together, right?"
Loriface nodded: "Yes."
"Then you should understand, right? That's it..."
"No, I don't understand." Loriface shook his head: "What's wrong with brother and sister?"
Ren Xingmei felt that this Daedra was simply unreasonable: "Brothers and sisters are meant to be relatives! They can't be lovers!"
"Why? You people from other worlds are really interesting." Loriface said with a smile: "We don't have such a rule here."
Ah, yes, the Daedra have no concept of family at all, and they adopt brothers and sisters in orphanages.
Ren Xingmei instantly felt that she was being stupid for discussing this with her, so she pouted her lips and stopped talking.
"It is easy to escape, and enduring pain is not as difficult as imagined. People can always easily allow themselves to endure pain because they can get happiness from their inner sense of mission, such as doing it for your own good."
Lorifis said leisurely: "But in fact, as long as we take a brave step, we may be able to find a way to have the best of both worlds."
Ren Xingmei still didn't say anything.
Loriface added: "Secret love is a good courtesy, secretly building a perfect castle. However, I don't know if you have ever performed on stage...ah, I don't know what it is like over there, but on the Daedra stage, the lights are very bright, and the people on the stage can't see the people below clearly."
"So, if you don't go on stage and show yourself, the people on stage will never see you. If you are wishful thinking, you have to accept the loss."
Lorifis waited for a moment, but got no reply. He touched his red face, sighed secretly, and prepared to go to bed.
However, at this time, Ren Xingmei suddenly whispered, "I'm afraid."
Loriface was shocked: "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid I'll delay him."
"But if you don't delay him, someone else will. Are you willing to accept that? It would be better for you to delay him."
Hearing the murmurs of discussion behind him, Dong Chengling opened his eyes, turned his head to glance at Ren Suo who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, sighed softly, and showed a helpless smile.
