Vol 2 Chapter 549: Snow Man

"Yes... he is my brother in Winterhold for the time being. Although there is a long difference in the training time between us... But he left a lot of books in school, and he occasionally reads after becoming a court wizard here. Go back there and communicate with his former friends." Bernardo answered truthfully. He and Farenga are not very close friends in the strict sense, but they still know each other's names and talk about it. Master Farenga is very knowledgeable in Dragon language and Mozu language, and is also quite accomplished in enchantment."
"That's it... Master Farenga complained that Skyrim's mage circle is too small. Almost anyone can have a relationship with him and ask him to do a lot of things." Skoyue suddenly realized, "But it seems that You really met Master Farenga."
"Well, but I don't have anything to trouble him." Bernardo blinked, "Even if there is, I will make a fair price based on his academic level. Don't worry, Mr. Scoyue."
"Haha." The latter laughed, Bernardo's frankness made him very useful, "Then, I won't disturb your life here. We are destined to see you, if you have any needs, please come directly to the bottom of Long Xiao Palace. Yue Swaka is looking for me." Sko Yue who finished drinking stood up.
"Wait a minute." Bernardo hesitated, although Hardawa should bring the news of the return of the dragon to Xueman soon, and then the city lord and his men would notify all corners of the city to take precautions— —However, Skoyue has already won his favor and trust just now. Would you like to return this enthusiasm and tell the news in advance? If she said something like this, would Skoyue really believe it?
"What's wrong?" Skoyue stopped, turned around, and asked strangely.
"... During this period of time, there should be some strange rumors... in various senses." After thinking about it carefully, Bernardo, who felt that if he said it bluntly, it would definitely lead to doubts and distrust of the other party. Knocked sideways like this: "If you have any questions at that time... please go directly to the lord and ask, so as to make preparations. Do you understand me?"
"What do you mean?" Bernardo's ambiguous attitude made Sko Yue confused.
"It's good if you know it in your heart, then you will know." Bernardo didn't want to continue.
"I will remember your advice." After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't think of anything, and Sko Yue could only turn around and leave. He wondered, what is this talking about? Could it be that it was hinting at the lord’s youngest son, he might have some clues?
Well, it must be so. Some things may not be convenient for him to tell me, and it may be somewhat miraculous to find the lord directly. Scoyue thought so, it made sense. Having figured this out, Skoyue no longer struggled with this issue.
"Okay...today I have to discuss the next step with that guy Wilkas." Skoyue rubbed his temples with her big fists, "I will be busy in the next few months."

"It seems to be gone." Bernardo, who drank a sip of cat's eye potion after Scoyue left, temporarily left the hotel for a while with the excuse of blowing the air, and with the help of the short-term vision improvement brought by the alchemy potion, he watched from a distance Skoyue crossed the long road and then disappeared at the intersection of another main road, which relieved her heart.
Because tonight, he still has one very important thing to do. One of the purposes of my trip this time was to find clues to the thieves' union and find the "Chill Crack" of his lost weapon. Before releasing Javier, Bernardo had already carefully asked where the Thieves Union's branch in the Snowman area was hiding, and used various means to ensure that he did not deceive himself. Next, what I had to do was to use this clue to get on the line with the Thieves Guild and retrieve my weapon.
Of course, if you use the right method-go directly to the thieves' union headquarters in Rift Valley City, explain the situation, and then buy the sword at a high price. But that would be too embarrassing. What's more, this time I was not succeeded by high-level thieves within the Thieves Guild, but only succeeded by unknown men like Havel.
Don’t expect Bernardo to be able to use formal negotiation methods to get the sword back without spending a Tamriel coin—the Thieves’ Guild essentially does a job similar to the Dark Brotherhood. They lick blood on the tip of a knife. In any case, the stolen goods that can only be obtained after taking the risk will not be given to others without a place—unless that person is a huge organization that they can’t afford, for example, Bernardo thought, ruling the entire Rift City, actually The Black Thorn family, which had already emptied the lord, is said to be the current thieves’ guild actually controlled by their family. If you know Marvin Blackthorn, you may be able to get your things back with a simple letter. Unfortunately, I am not a big nobleman, nor a celebrity around the emperor, so it is naturally impossible to know Such a big man, so he can only figure out his own way.
"Okay..." According to the observation just now, this place should be in the cellar of a humble house in the residential area to the west. As for which house it is... as long as the house is empty, but there are inevitably traces of people's activities, it is fine.
Although it is difficult to see the inside of the house at night, and the guards patrolling the streets will be very confused about this matter, Bernardo knows that after drinking the potion, he can avoid disturbing the guards and find himself going. The place.
This is indeed the case. With this method, Bernardo found a trace of okay in the third house on the left hand side at the end of an alley in less than a quarter of an hour.
The house was empty, without any furniture, and there was no trace of anyone living here for a long time. The corners of the walls were covered with dust and cobwebs, but strangely, some unusual marks were left on the lime floor.
With the mentality of trying it out, Bernardo saw the timing that the guards hadn't noticed, and gently pushed the outer door - sure enough, it was concealed and not locked. And in front of the lime floor with obvious traces, Bernardo, who stepped on it lightly, felt empty—something underground.
"Is it locked?" Bernardo, who tried to lift the plank up, naturally failed. "It's also... the rats of the Thieves Guild will not let themselves appear easily in broad daylight, right? "
There is only one way to enter their lair from the city. But to avoid attracting attention, they almost never use this road to the city. This means that there must be another tunnel deep underground, and it must lead to the outside of the city, and these union members must use another tunnel in their usual activities, and this tunnel is rarely used.
As for houses that have been left unoccupied for a long time... the upper level of the trade union will naturally be managed. The owner who pretends to be the real estate is out all year round and never returns to live. The procedures are complete, and the annual land tax is also paid as usual. No one will come to the trouble of looking for such a humble house.
Of course, except today. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Bernardo's mouth.
