Chapter 407: The Fifth Labour (1, 2) : Morag Tong (2/2)
Finally, the woman showed some expressions that Jon likes
”Hold on a sec” He said as he put his hand on his face casting 'Dispel'
None in the roo, a Khajiit with its face refor and his tail going away
As soon as this was done, some else entirely stood in place of that Khajiit
A talldown at them
”Matches the description now?”
(Part 2)
”How in the dark nas, this ain't a ic others can do”
Jon made himself at home and looked around for a cozy chair beside the houses fire pit
”What can we call you now?” The woman stood in front of Jon and asked
”The Red Man sounds good, you guys call yourself some fancy names around here so pick me one” Jon said
”I am in no mood to humor you so answer the questions I ask”
”Many faces, many aliases, it is hard to keep track I prefer to be known as Krilon”
Red Leaf seemed short on patience with Jon's temperaments but she still wanted to know more
”So, Krilon I suppose you are the ones who Labour for lady Azura”
”Indeed”
”We received a e from a Priestess of Azura called Aranea, Azura's Prophet, and also aus to cooperate with you”
”I' you have to remember, however, is that I am the leader of this Sanctuary and I don't take orders from some Labourer Whatever that Labour is, ill provide help as we see fit and operate our way”
”Whatever”
”Now to thematter, how do you know about the Traitor?” Red Leaf asked
Jon looked to the people around and the back at Red Leaf
”You seeh I was only teasing you with it”
”Please, we are Servants of Mephala, Lady of Murder, sex, and Secrets Do you think we are so just because one is an idiot” She said while glaring at Grey Sand
”Truth be told, your deuys and the so-called idiot is the one who found me on the end”
”Fine, now cut to the chase Is your Labour about the Traitor?”
”Not really” Jon said and found a fresh-looking apple on the table, ”Is this Poisonous?”
”No”
”Tsk So unprofessional 200 years ago, these things were the real deal”
”Your Labour!” Red Leaf's tone became stern
”Collect the Blade of Deceit Maybe I'll face so to Azura's poem”
The atmosphere of the room turned cold as Jon said those words Jon didn't even bother as he ate the apple and offered a bite to Nefertiti
Read Leaf was very frustrated, her face twitched and twistedher complicated e away on her feet to take soo near her while her mood was foul
”The Gods they are so cruel!” She groaned
”Tell
”For years For soyears, I have established this sanctuary to retrieve the Blade and kill the Traitor but GAH!” She slapped the furniture again
”For only that they would send another guy to get the job done?” Jon continued for her
She turned around glaring at the” Jon turned to her, ”It seeoal in life are entwined Now let's have a chat”
Red Leaf found it frustrating but as the Gods have spoken, she can do nothing about it She merely walked back to her chair beside the fire opposite to Jon
”Lady Red Leaf, I aree with your frustration If your mission is to retrieve a blade and kill a traitor then considerover Don't you agree it is for the best?”
”” The wo
”I assume that the Blade of Deceit is the [Ebony Blade] of Mephala The blade is currently sealed in the Jarl's Castle and your et it out but you seem to be unsuccessful till now I assume that the Traitor is someone inside the Jarl's castle too and is pretty much a formidable opponent”
Red Leaf eased up a bit and nodded
”You are right The [Ebony Blade] is sealed souarding it”
”Good, my exact mission is the Blade so I'll be blunt when I say I have no interest in your grudges But I can't help but be curious Who on Nirn is so foro up against?”
Jon's question was received by Red Leaf's stiff face and bitter reply
”My older sister The finest assassin the Morag Tong has trained in the whole Fourth Era as the Elders would say Her name is Irileth”
”Hold on, hold on, hold on Irileth? Jarl Balgruuf's attendant”
”You seem aware of her identity”
”Yes this is a problem indeed”
”A problem?”
”Eh I mean I aht a few tis on his mind were how Irileth was an important character in the future If she is to die now, the Gaet really more messed up than what it already is Irileth is one of the characters that the players interact with very early and is basically Jarl Balgruuf's bodyguard and lifeline who is opposing the Civil War
This was problematic indeed
”Do you have a plan?” Jon asked
”No” Red Leaf was blunt about it ”Anyone who enters in there doesn't survive Irileth”
”I see, so your apprentices are obviously no ainst her and she detects them quite easily That means whatever plan we come up on't put someone with the level of your people in any close position to Irileth even as a lookout”
” You are right”
”What about you?”
”What about ainst her?” Jon asked
Red Leaf turned silent before replying
”She taughtI know”
”Oh! No wonder”
All in all, the fact that Red Leaf and her Appreciates are not ainst Irileth is because she is actually their mentor That's the worst natural enemy of all especially with how talented Irileth is
Just what is the Tong thinking by sending Red Leaf after Irileth?
”How did she becoruuf's attendant anyway? Her talents are so wasted as a bodyguard and I a their old friends story”
” My sister was talented So talented that she was chosen to carry the Blade of Deceit According to Legends, the blade will grow dull and rusty of it is not fed with the Blood of Deceit and as its Keeper, she was to slay those who trust her in order to bring up the blades full potential”
”In other words you”
” Yes”
”But she chose not and Balgruuf found her, talked his wisdoed to abandoned the blade then swore fealty to him and lived happily ever after”
”You summed it up”
”So your sister spared you and you just see her as a traitor?”
Red Leaf frowned She glared at Jon and roared
”And what do you know? The sister I knoas everything I had pride in She was the one to bring the Tong back on top and ain but she chose what? This? I'd have giventhe Blade and leading the Tong”
Red Leaf's break doas surely tough
Jon looked at her with lazy eyes and yawned
”Being a Fanatic is sure tough Being an Elfa Fanatic Elf okay, sucks to be you”
Jon stood up and faces the rest
”You are all too dull and out of practice You can't even infiltrate a single da”
”How dare you?” Red Leaf ju unexpected occurred
His head turned around facing her with a grueso unleashed froround holding their chests as their hearts were about to explode
Jon's silhouette was red as a devil fro like children
”I kill people for that word Sadly, I have a use for you ants” His voice ca souls out of Red Leaf and her disciples
Nefertiti was seeing this and shaking her head She transformed into her Child Form and pulled Jon from his robe
”Duh! Duh! We talked about this Don't go all psycho when the 'D word ' is said”
Jon calradually and retreated his Tyrant Aura Those ere on the verge of suffocating on the ground found it easy once again to breathe They kept groaning and ony that befell on the Jon with a body too frightened to even stop shaking
”I don't knohat kind of assassins you are but you all suck Looks like you are soistics tea to your story”
Jon walked around and seeents
”I don't want toone so here is ill you do, you will sleep early and wake up early like good boys and girls, you will prepare some flammable et the attention of the palace, I'll be sneaking in alone”
He looked around and glared
”Ah to respond barely nodded
”Good Will see you tomorrow”
Jon and Nefertiti disappeared in their places and went in the [Cube] leaving the du cell to clean their own shi+t
