Crown of Chaos

PS: I have some diarrhea today, sorry for being late.

Different people have different affinity and manner of affinity to the laws of nature, which depends not only on the particularity of that person but also on the way in which he and the laws of nature fit together.

As mentioned earlier, spellcasters such as druids, priests, rangers, and monks cast spells in a way that is more like guidance than casting. They use their own perception as a medium to guide the forces of nature and gods. The energy of laws such as the power of law and the power of discipline releases magic through one's own body as a carrier.

The difficulty of perceiving and casting spells is lower than that of wizards constructing magic models. They do not need to know much about the magic model. All they have to do is get closer to the laws and gods to resonate with each other and better guide the magic.

The difficulty of perceiving spellcasting is higher than that of warlocks and warlocks, especially warlocks.

For a warlock, casting spells is a complete chore.

This is how Aaron casts spells. He doesn't quite understand the mechanism of how magic works, but it doesn't matter. He was chosen by the four gods of chaos. He has the divine sparks of the four gods in his body. He is the master of magic. He only needs to make the magic obedient. .

So when Aaron tried to cast spells like a druid, it was a bit difficult.

Fortunately, the life spells in the Eight Winds of Magic are very close to the Druid spells. Aaron does not need to fully master the wisdom of Rodok, the Earth Walker. All he needs is to borrow the Druid's spellcasting method to simulate the life spells.

Soon, Aaron discovered that different druids had different ways of getting close to nature and integrating the laws of nature.

Some druids manifest fire, some light, some wind, and some earth and stone.

Aaron's way of being in harmony with the laws of nature is water.

All life-based magic he performs uses water as a carrier and is released through water. He can condense magic power into water and use water to nourish all things.

The magic water condensed by Aaron is called Water of Life Jilun. It can re-fertilize wasteland, cure crop diseases, make all life thrive, and even have the effect of giving birth to children.

very good!

Aaron looked at the water ring surrounding his fingertips and nodded with satisfaction. He could feel a whole new world opening in front of him.

With his special physique, it can be seen with the naked eye that Aaron can resist almost any corruption and curse in the future, and absorb most of the magic power that contains destruction and corrosion.

So, what if he could transform these magical powers into the pure wind of life, and use it to nourish, soothe, and purify the earth?

Now, who is the real Druid?

Aaron also had a vague guess.

Isn't the north of Cormyr the Nese Empire's abuse of magic to create terrible arcane pollution, and the Anonok Desert was eventually formed?

To others, arcane pollution is the most terrifying curse and the most terrifying corruption.

But maybe this thing is the best fertilizer for me?

But these things are still a little too far away.

Aaron made up his mind to take advantage of the fact that there was still more than a month left before Midwinter Festival, so he would study life magic during this period.

The only magic he can fully master now is some of the first, second and third ring magic in the kingdom, Tzeentch magic, Slaanesh magic, and a small part of the eight wind magics of metal magic. If he can master the life magic, he will be very confident about his own strength. It's a great addition.

Aaron now only has elite-intermediate strength. If he transforms into a secret keeper, he can temporarily fight against master-level enemies.

As mentioned before, it is from the elite level that the strength of professionals gradually increases. Some elite levels are just a little stronger than apprentices, and some elite levels can even start to participate in the games of the gods.

For example, it seems that the famous Cyric was just an elite rogue and a part-time warrior when he was looking for the Tablet of Destiny in the Year of Troubles.

In this way, for about the next two weeks, Aaron focused entirely on studying life magic.

He went to the palace on Mondays to serve the Queen Regent as a chamberlain. On Sundays, he went to Sullon Church to accompany Eleanor, and by the way he promoted the research and production of Slaanesh cosmetics.

Slaanesh cosmetics also has an official name, called Silver Virgin Lotion, or Silver Lotion for short.

Su Lun Mama has given a sample to every goddess she is familiar with.

The effect was outstanding, even Arkady, the goddess of the wind element who least likes to be in charge and the most casual, said it was good.

The new goddess of magic, Midnight, has already ordered 100 copies for herself and the seven Northland sisters under her command. However, the Silver Virgin Church has not yet started production, so the orders can only be held back.

As for the affairs of the inner court knights, it was simple. The authoritarian Alice Sel rarely asked Aaron's opinion. Basically, she made her own decisions on everything. She only occasionally said a few words to Aaron.

But I don’t know why, but the regent princess just likes Aaron to be by her side. No matter what she does, Aaron must follow her, which makes Aaron unable to desert.

The two got along quite well, and Aaron also learned that the regent's daughter had a very cute magical cat named Yuumi.

Youmi was given to his daughter by Phil Ferrell, Queen of Assan IV. The Queen Mother is still alive, but rarely meets outsiders. Aaron learned from the princess that Queen Phil Ferrell came from the valley. The Queen Mother had a deep connection with Lord Kelben Blackstaff, a great mage in Waterdeep City, and he held a position as the Queen Mother's personal magic advisor.

Khelben-Blackstaff is also an important member of the Harpers Alliance.

Aaron can only understand so much for the time being.

In the remaining time, whether he was doing activities on his own or studying magic with the eldest lady, Aaron completely focused his attention on the research of life magic.

Winter is coming, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.

The Obeschier royal family and the Crown Princess's husband Kasper's faction have also temporarily stopped fighting, preparing to spend this midwinter holiday and compete again in the spring of next year.

At this point, Aaron still found it quite interesting.

Alice Ser's personality has changed under the influence of the ancient red dragon's blood, and she should now belong to the lawful neutral camp.

The son of Bane was influenced by his father, Bane, the god of tyranny, and was naturally of the lawful evil alignment.

Therefore, the fight between these two people abides by the rules and the laws of aristocracy by default. No one will easily cross the line, and they both pursue dominance rather than destruction.

This has instead stabilized the situation in Susar after winter.

Two weeks later, as Aaron's research on life-based magic deepened, strange rumors began to spread in Susar.

The foul-smelling sewers grew moss overnight.

Seriously ill refugee Arabelle makes a miraculous recovery.

The flowers in the royal garden are growing like crazy.

Out-of-season fresh fruits and vegetables appear in the vegetable market.

Is this the druid's method or the blessing of the gods?

Someone saw a druid with green light all over his body in the dark night.

Is it the envoy of Father Oak or the chosen one of Mother Earth?

The curious Susar people are always looking for the truth, and the druids who believe in the Father of Oak believe that it must be Silvanus who has appeared. Some druids from the Green Garden came to Susar, planning to Studying the source of these miracles, they could not figure out the reason at all. They found that the magic that caused this situation did not seem to be the power of Silvanus, the father of the oak tree, nor the handiwork of Chantia, the mother of the earth.

Everyone was puzzled.

The initiators of these behaviors have turned their attention to other aspects.

At the end of November 1360 in the valley calendar, Aaron began the fifth week of practicing life magic.

The Viscount finally mastered the essence of life magic.

Sousal also received its first snowfall since the beginning of winter.

Fine snowflakes covered the roof of Salian House in the Three Crowns neighborhood, and even the road was covered with a thick layer of silvery white. The baker had to get up early in the morning to bake bread for the family, and the thick smoke rising from the chimney The black smoke formed a strong contrast with the silver-covered fairy tale world, and also told everyone that this was a place of reality.

The sun was shrouded in dark clouds, and only a faint ray of light reached the ground through the clouds, but the reflection from the white snowflakes made the early morning light less dim.

In the middle of winter, Suzal begins to wake up.

Aaron also woke up from his sleep. He rolled around in the quilt a few times nostalgically, twisted the quilt between his legs, forced himself to leave the warm and comfortable big bed, changed his clothes, walked to the window and opened it. window.

The cold wind blowing against his face made him shiver, and also made the warm master bedroom feel a little cooler while the fireplace was still burning.

Snowing.

It’s the season of the white photo album again.

Aaron stretched out his hand to catch a piece of snowflake. The Viscount watched the pure hexagonal snowflake melt in his hand. The cold wind blew against his cheek, causing him to subconsciously close the window.

It’s almost time and the house is ready.

It was time to pick up Eleanor and bring her home for the holidays.

The snowflakes melted into water droplets and were held in Aaron's hand. With the injection of his magic power, the water droplets gradually glowed with a layer of green light. It had been purified by Aaron into Ji Lun, the water of life.

Aaron spent five weeks reorganizing his bedroom. He changed himself to a larger and softer bed. He also asked the dwarf craftsman Foujar to specially reinforce the bed frame and bed boards to ensure that the two people could sleep comfortably. It's not too crowded for three people to sleep in.

Aaron also ordered new furniture and got rid of the old furniture left by his parents. His aunt also followed Aaron's instructions and packed up a guest room next door and decorated it.

At the same time, he also specially purchased a set of brand new thickened plush animal skin rugs from the Northland from the market in Susar to lay in his bedroom, so that even if two people lie directly on it, they will not catch the cold~

Hehehe~ With these thoughts in mind, Aaron washed up a little and went downstairs.

As always, Aunt Mellie was already up making breakfast. She deftly beat the eggs, heated the milk, put two strips of good cured bacon into the frying pan, and at the same time shouted: "Lotaire! Don't just sit down." There, go to the door and see if our things have been delivered?”

"I know, I know." My uncle, wearing a thick down coat, was sitting behind the table reading a newspaper. He seemed very impatient when he heard his wife's words.

"Good morning, Mellie, Lothair." Aaron came down the stairs.

"Hey, Aaron, are you up? Just in time, do Auntie a favor!" Aunt Meili hurried over and grabbed Aaron's sleeve: "There is no fresh food at home again!"

"... Got it." Aaron nodded.

He asked his aunt to follow him to the back door of the house, where some gooseberries were growing, but now that winter has come, these plants, also known as leaf lettuce, have been frozen.

Under Mellie's eyes full of admiration, Aaron spread his palms flat and let the drops of melted snow drip into the vegetable basin, and the Viscount guided the magic power.

Ji Lun's style, in my name.

Green light spread across the back garden, and a miracle happened!

The goose vegetables in the vegetable pot thawed instantly and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just half a minute, the fresh goose vegetables in the pot were fully grown.

"Okay, Auntie." Aaron smiled and nodded.

"Oh, magic is such a magical thing!" Aunt Meili clapped her hands excitedly. She skillfully stretched out her hands to pick vegetables, shook off the frozen mud on them, and smiled at Aaron: "Aaron, is this going to be the best for our family in the future?" Don’t you even need to buy groceries?”

"Pfft! Why don't you buy vegetables?" Aaron was amused by his aunt's magical logic: "Doing this consumes magic power. Dear aunt, do you know how much it costs to hire a wizard? Just for some fresh vegetables. ?”

"Oh, this costs a lot of money!" The aunt suddenly realized, and then she looked at Aaron worriedly: "Aaron, are you okay? Will doing this consume a lot of magic power? I'd better not do this in the future. I Go tell Lothair and Robert to eat pickles."

"It's okay. This little magic power is still fine. Just don't go out and talk nonsense." Aaron said seriously: "Otherwise, there will be trouble."

"I got it! Don't worry, Aaron." Melly immediately promised solemnly: "I swear to the Silver Virgin!"

Aaron smiled.

Meili is actually a big talker. When she has free time, she will hang out with a large group of housewives in Sullon Church. This group of middle-aged women can get together and talk for many hours, and the more they talk, the more energetic they talk. Meili is also nothing I dare not tell anyone about anything, but it is always difficult to keep secrets.

For example, when Lothair had hemorrhoids, her uncle had repeatedly warned her not to tell her. However, when Mellie arrived at Sullon Church, she just said, "Don't tell others. My husband actually...".

By the end, Lothair's hemorrhoids became known even to his stable colleagues and became an open secret.

But the big-mouthed aunt is also very measured in her heart. She knows that Aaron's matter really cannot be talked about randomly. Even if others bring it up, Mellie always shakes her head and refuses to answer.

"Has the guest room been tidied up?" On the way back, Aaron asked Mei Li, who was holding a basket of goose vegetables.

"Okay, Aaron, do we have any guests?" Melly couldn't help but be curious.

"Get ready after dinner. Today we will go to Our Lady of Silver Church to pick up Eleanor. She will spend Midwinter and New Year with us this year." Aaron said with great certainty.

Today is Sunday.

"Then he's not a guest!" Melly said seriously, "It should have been like this a long time ago. If you hadn't been so busy, I would have told you."

"Haha~" Aaron laughed again, but he didn't refute.

My aunt seems to be a staunch Eleanorian.

Ms. Pastor’s support rate is very high.

After breakfast, Aaron and his aunt's family changed into heavy winter clothes and set out collectively for Our Lady of Silver Church.

Walking along the stone streets that had just been cleared of snow, we arrived at the Church of Our Lady of Silver. The air inside was not as cold as outside. Su Lun believers from all religions worshiped in the church, and the scene was very chaotic.

Su Lun is a good-natured and funny goddess. Her teachings are relatively vague and her ritual requirements for worship are weak. Therefore, believers are naturally more relaxed. After completing rounds of worship, they hang out in the temple and make friends. , holding activities, leisure and entertainment, the temple priests did not stop them and allowed them to perform.

There is no strict hierarchy within the church. Believers are relatively equal, and communication generally does not involve superiority or inferiority.

Aaron also casually prayed with the believers, and then got up to find Eleanor.

"Where is Eleanor?" There were many people, and Aaron asked, grabbing a Pastor Suellen.

"It's Your Excellency Salian! Miss Eleanor is in the Crescent Hall." The priest replied.

Aaron nodded and walked all the way towards the Crescent Hall.

As soon as he reached the door of the Crescent Hall, he heard a very frivolous and dissolute voice coming from inside.

"Beautiful Moon Bather Miss Eleanor Dineful, your prince is here!"

"Hey, don't ignore me! Miss Eleanor, I have fallen in love with you at first sight since I last saw you at the ceremony. The fire-haired lady and the Silver Virgin are best friends. I think we should also be the best friends." Good friend!"

Aaron's face immediately darkened.

Who is this guy?
