Crown of Chaos

When he returned home, Aaron first took out the information given to him by the Princess Regent and started reading.

Sit down, light the fire, close the window, Aaron sat in the study, glanced at a pair of weapons hanging on the fireplace, many animal heads, and remembered his father pointing at himself in the study and scolding him. Waste of time.

Stop scolding, stop scolding, father, I am really working hard to realize your wish.

Aaron couldn't help but laugh.

For the sake of my hard work, father, you don’t need to thank me too much. Just don’t mind if I take advantage of your wish.

After all, "Father's Wish" is so useful that once you use it, you can't stop using it.

Thinking about it carefully, both father and mother seemed to have died fighting under the city of Tifanton in the north of the kingdom. According to fellow knights, they may have been killed by drow, but there is no definite evidence. The battlefield was very chaotic at the time. No one can be sure what happened.

And I also have a close relationship with a big sister named Bai Pi Zhuoer.

Did you see it? Father and mother, I am avenging you.

Just wait, Sister Nastia, when I gain strength, I will take you down!

Aaron has secretly...or even openly put the mark of Slaanesh on Nastia. He can now vaguely feel the general direction of Nastia. The dark elf sister is far away from him now, and her position is always It's change.

Another target who was secretly marked with the Mark of Slaanesh was steadily living in the direction of the palace.

I don’t think about it so much now. In the future, they will all be branded with the stigma of chaos sooner or later.

Aaron untied the silk thread on the document bag and began to read the news about Countess Arabelle Millman-Laure.

The news about this female great noble of Cormyr, Millman Raul, has been mentioned before. That is, this landless noble is Countess Arabelle. She lost her fief in the Goblin War and is currently bringing her retainers and A small private army is temporarily stationed in Susal. She is a master ranger and a devout disciple of the lucky lady Taimora.

There is more detailed information in the information given by Alice Searle.

Milman-Laur was born in 1323 of the Valley Calendar. Countess Arabelle was born as a commoner. She was also an adventurer in her early years. She traveled to most places in the country, including the legendary Evermeet Island.

This earned Millman-Raul a lot of money and honors, as well as the recognition of the former king Assan IV, who recruited her and appointed her as the general of the kingdom. Millman was happy to settle in Cormyr and serve as The kingdom has made numerous military exploits.

At this time, Millman was not yet thirty years old.

The real key to Millman's title was the rebellion in 1352 of the Valley Calendar. The northern Earl of Arabelle and Lord Gondgar declared independence and called himself King of Arabelle, trying to establish an independent kingdom centered on Arabelle.

As a result, the news of his rebellion was learned by Milman-Raul. The female general managed to let Assan IV know the news of Gondgar's betrayal as soon as possible.

Assan IV reacted quickly. The king who was on an expedition immediately negotiated peace with the enemy, and quickly assembled a reinforcement force composed of Tifanton, Zambia, Susar and Valley troops. The Susar army was the main body and the Purple Dragon Knights The backbone of the army reached Arabelle at lightning speed.

In just eight days, from the announcement of the betrayal to the suppression of the rebellion, King Arabel of Gondgarh only sat on the throne for eight days.

Therefore, King Arabelle, the "Usurper" and "Lost King" also got a brand-new nickname, called "Eight-Day King", and his Kingdom of Arabelle was also ridiculed as "Eight-Day Kingdom".

Cormyr's quick response was praised by the bard as the "Purple Dragon Retreat."

Milman-Laure contributed so much in this war that she was appointed commander of Arabelle's garrison, and eventually received the title Countess of Arabelle after proving herself to be an excellent ruler.

The countess was considered a very wise (but hot-tempered) ruler. She ruled Arabel for eight years, and finally lost her territory in the Goblin War at the beginning of the year. Now Milman-Raul is using all his power to try to Raise an army to take back what's hers.

Aaron frowned when he saw this. Less than a year had passed since the Goblin War. The kingdom's army suffered heavy losses. The king died in the battle, and the ancient dragon also died. However, there are still more than 20,000 orcs entrenched in Arabelle!

It's an orc, not a goblin!

Every adult orc is a qualified warrior, otherwise he will be used as feed to feed livestock. There are even legends that orcs will actively kill orc babies who are short and not strong enough.

Aaron continued to read.

Milman-Laure had two marriages. Her first husband, Dak, was a gambling dog. They had a daughter but her husband sold her daughter to pay off her debts, so Milman divorced him.

Her second husband, named Haverstrom, was also an adventurer. The two lived happily after their marriage, but Hallstrom soon died in an ambush during the adventure.

Aaron noted that her second husband Haverström was a cousin of the former king Assan IV.

Therefore, Ms. Raul is not an inspirational story of a grassroots counterattack and an adventurer becoming a great nobleman in the true sense. She first became the wife of a great nobleman and then became a general of the kingdom.

Alice Searle would also like to call Ms. Raul her cousin.

At the end of the information, some trivia about Ms. Raul was mentioned: His first husband appeared again after she became Countess Arabelle. This forced her to seek help from her ex-wife who had become a nobleman because she owed a lot of gambling debts. Help, he went around telling people that I was the Countess' real husband, and was eventually arrested and imprisoned for murder.

Milman-Laur met with him as a judge. Her ex-husband told her the news that their daughter was not dead, but was sold by him to pay off gambling debts. Now you can give me a large sum of money to pay off the debts. Spare me, and I'll tell you where she is.

Ex-husband Duck thought he was bound to win because he knew how much his ex-wife loved his daughter.

As a result, the angry countess stabbed her ex-husband directly in front of the court, causing blood to splash in the court.

Okay, this is very neutral and kind, Aaron likes it.

Later, she formed an investigation team through her connections and wealth of the great nobles to find her daughter. However, her daughter is now living happily as an ordinary person and has no idea about her life experience. Ms. Raul is unwilling to disturb her daughter's life. Instead of recognizing each other, she adopted another girl who was mistaken for her daughter during the investigation and truly raised her as her own daughter.

She is also the first heir to the title of Countess. Whoever can marry this girl named Christine will become the husband of the next Countess Arabelle.

Well, she is only 13 years old.

Well, loan countess, because Arabelle is still in the hands of the orcs.

Aaron put down the document bag and got a deeper understanding of this fiery, fair, sage, neutral and good countess. He knew that if he wanted to join the Arabelle Restoration Army, then he must have a relationship with this claimed countess. deal with.

Aaron covered his head.

Traditionally, there were three ways to establish a fiefdom.

One, find a female aristocrat with a fiefdom to marry into, such as...Aaron Obeschier.

Second, claim a title based on blood ties. For example, when a feudal noble dies without a designated heir, Aaron, as the son of the husband's younger brother of the wife of the feudal noble's wife, can stand up and claim that he is the correct heir.

Third, just like Ms. Raul, if you stand in the right position and make contributions in the battles of the great nobles, the king may transfer the title and fief to you.

Aaron chose the harder path: regaining lost ground.

But he also felt that he did have an obligation to do something for Cormyr. The refugees in Arabelle were suffering in the increasingly cold weather.

He only talks but does not do anything. He only expresses sympathy and does not do anything. So what is the difference between him and Manakorn-Anaheim, who "should let the country people go back to the country"?

So...what I should do now is...

In the study, Aaron took out a stick wrapped in thick linen.

Even though it had been wrapped tightly in linen, tied tightly with thick hemp rope and tied with a chain blessed by Pastor Suellen, the stick-like object was still emitting wisps of evil visible to the naked eye, and the thick black smoke had already The linen was completely blackened and corroded in many places.

This thing is the "Deadwood Staff" left to Aaron by the master druid, the Earth Walker Rodok.

Aaron put the staff on the shelf, untied the chains and hemp ropes with his bare hands, and turned over the linen.

The corrosive magic power and curse-filled resentment on the dead wood staff immediately rushed to Aaron's face, and the black smoke turned into a crazy and ferocious figure, shooting straight for Aaron's chest!

"roll!"

Aaron uttered a word lightly, his eyes were focused, and the Chaos Eight-Pointed Star emblem flashed in his sky-blue eyes.

The power of chaos across the universe occasionally reveals its true power.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The magic and resentment of the withered wood staff immediately retracted into the staff as if they had seen something extremely terrifying. This extremely rare magic weapon was completely black with only a skull on the top. Objects shivered on the shelves.

Even the figure turned into black smoke immediately made gestures and expressions begging for mercy. Seeing that Aaron had no intention of taking action, it immediately retracted into the staff.

The dead wood staff finally calmed down, at least in Aaron's sight, it stopped moving.

This thing still wants to corrupt me, the son of chaos, right?

Aaron complained speechlessly.

Chaos has always been the only one that corrupts others. How can anything else corrode chaos?

Do you understand the value of four good brothers? Earthwalker?

Putting his hand on the surface of the dead wood staff, Aaron probed his magic power into the staff, feeling the knowledge and power contained in the staff, and of course the resentment of the Earth Walker Rodok.

All I can say is that humans are really complex animals.

This deadwood staff left behind by Rhodok the Earthwalker is an example.

This staff left behind the endless hatred and resentment of the Earthwalker. He hated it very much. He hated all mortal creatures. He hated the Cormyrs, hated humans, and hated all those who destroyed nature. He wished that all mortals in the kingdom would be destroyed. Kill them all and return the world to its original beauty.

But the staff is also full of love and hope, Rodok's love for the little tree, and his last obsession - to send the staff back to Hurek Forest.

The staff is filled with Rhodok's magic power that has begun to corrupt and corrupt.

The staff also contains all of Rhodok's wisdom, knowledge about druids, and a complete set of his knowledge. It details the path of the earth association in the way of druids.

The wise men who founded the Earth Society guarded ancient knowledge and various traditional rituals.

The druids of the Earth Society gather under the ring of the sacred tree or in the stone circle. They communicate in low voices in Druid language, passing on the original secrets. The wisest members of the order hold a distinguished position. They uphold the ancient oaths like the chief priests of the order and preach and explain the doubts of those under their leadership.

As a member of the society, the rituals of the Earth Society establish a mysterious connection with the druid, allowing the druid's magic to be affected by the earth.

So, did Rhodok, the Earthwalker, let Aaron hold the staff to harm him, or did he want him to return the staff, or did he want him to get his druid heritage, his decades of wisdom and knowledge?

It seems like they both have it, but they don’t seem to want it either.

So humans are really complex creatures.

When Aaron read online articles in his previous life, he often imagined that all people were "purely rational animals", also known as "vacuum spherical people". After calculating the best choice for the characters at the time from the perspective of God, he immediately criticized the book. Why don’t the characters choose this way? But in fact, when really involved in an incident, very few people can remain absolutely rational.

This is the case with Rodok. He came to awaken the snake people, but when he encountered the snake people, he regarded him as an accomplice. He did not hesitate to help Aaron fight and died. When he was dying, the Earth Walker was probably He wanted to take revenge on Aaron and send back the staff, but he was reluctant to part with his own magic power and knowledge.

In the end, the dead wood staff looked like this.

But Aaron found the contract between the earth walker and the way of nature from the dead wood staff.

He pressed his hand on the contract, and the chaotic magic followed the contract on the staff and began to connect with the laws of nature.

In this way Aaron intended to practice the druidic ways of spellcasting and communicate with the winds of life through his link with nature.

He didn't know if it would work, but he was going to give it a try.

Sure enough, as Aaron injected magic power into the deadwood staff, he began to feel that the world was different.

Magic, dyed with color.

Green, lots of green, more and more green!

He felt green energy surrounding every part of the world. It was the power of nature, the power of nature's laws, and the source force that constituted the origin of the world.

Whether it is the polar regions, coasts, deserts, forests, grasslands, mountains, swamps, or dark areas, the power of nature is everywhere, and the laws of nature govern all things.

Everything is in order and moves around the world.

The power of nature constitutes the cycle of life, endless reincarnation from life to life.

The force of nature is sometimes very powerful, such as the forest sea in summer and the ocean at high tide.

The force of nature is sometimes not so strong, such as grasslands in winter and human farmland.

Aaron searched for the context of the power of nature. He evolved his magic power into the power of life, followed the laws of nature, and felt the logic of the druid's magic.

He felt that the force of nature that belonged to him operated more like rainfall. It was particularly easily attracted by the water flow, spread over the earth and then gathered into a pond or whirlpool full of life energy. Finally, it flowed like a green river that was not controlled by the laws of physics. Overland, nourishing all flora and fauna in the watershed.

Only Aaron could see this sight.

Everything is animistic.

Under Aaron's will, the magic power full of resentment and corruption in the dead wood staff changed. The black color faded and turned into a green wind. The magic energy was condensed and shaped by him into a trickle, swirling around his fingers.

This thing is called the water of life - Guilun.

A new world opened before Aaron's eyes.

Life magic!
