Crown of Chaos

The ascetic's question made the already cold atmosphere in the room even colder.

The eldest lady frowned almost instantly, and the smile on her face disappeared. She raised her hand, and golden sparks shot out from her fingertips, pointing straight into the sky.

Charlotte is an absolutely neutral soul warlock and cosmic warlock. For the eldest lady, she only cares about her best friends, younger brothers, magic, and at most a little sense of responsibility brought by the training in the Kingdom of Cormyr. She is not very strong. My concept of good and evil, and my view of rules is also very simple - I don't care much about order. If the order does not affect me, I will abide by the order. If the order will hinder me and hurt the people I value, then I will break the rules. A matter of course.

Leonard's reaction was a bit strange. The paladin did not look into the ascetic's eyes, nor did he show a questioning expression to Aaron. The university president just took a step back, lowered his head and remained silent.

Faced with Kong's doubts, Aaron regretted for a moment. He felt that he shouldn't have come to the monastery, shouldn't he have come to see Master Kong?

His teammates didn't find him, but instead he got himself into trouble first?

What's even more troublesome is that monks all have this kind of "intuition", which is an ability that is gradually realized during a long period of practice. Many of them rely on their own strong willpower, honed in a difficult environment, and finally directly Elemental energy that interferes with the material world.

They practice a type of magic called "ki". This magical element permeates the multiverse and flows in every living object.

Monks create various magical effects or enhance various body functions by manipulating the energy in their bodies. Some of its special striking techniques can also hinder the flow of Qi in the enemy's body. Monks use this power to greatly increase their speed and ability to strike with their bare hands. And as they accumulate practice day by day, they gain more sophisticated martial arts and more precise luck skills, and in the end they can even gain powerful power beyond themselves and their enemies.

Now that Sora had made his judgment, Aaron knew that it would be useless even if he defended himself, because Sora would not believe his excuse.

So Aaron said softly: "A person cannot choose his past and origin, but he can choose his future, Master."

As soon as he said these words, the ascetic monk's thick eyebrows trembled twice. He watched Aaron's reaction intently and saw that his expression was sincere and did not seem to be hypocritical. The hostility on his face dissipated slightly. Kong coughed lightly and nodded: "The last one." Salian, I'm glad that you can continue to be kind now, but this stain will continue to surround you and affect you for the rest of your life. Are you ready to fight it for the rest of your life? I think you should probably become a warrior. monk."

Charlotte, who was standing behind Aaron, showed a worried expression.

My brother wants to become a monk? How does this work? !

Leonard was thoughtful. He saw the commandments written on the wall and remained silent.

"I will not become a monk, nor will I stay in a monastery." Aaron clearly refused: "Master, I am here to ask for your help, not to let you make decisions for me! If you are not willing, we will do it now Farewell, if you want to help us, please give us a boost, it’s that simple!”

Kong was silent for a while, and then he suddenly said: "Actually, Maximian is my disciple. He is a good boy, very hardworking and hard-working, but like you, he is unwilling to take a vow of poverty."

"so?"

"Come on, let's hit the road."

The ascetic monk finally nodded. He picked up a wooden stick and signaled that he was ready to set off.

Kong is a powerful master-level Sanda monk. He does not use any weapons or wear any equipment, and only relies on his powerful intuition and hands to fight.

But anyone who is familiar with this profession knows that when monks join the battlefield, their combat effectiveness will be no less than that of any senior professional who is fully equipped with magic equipment.

Their strength, firm will, and fierce fighting prowess are renowned across the country and even the multiverse.

In the famous Abyss, there are divine-like beings such as the two-headed baboon Demogorgon and the succubus queen Melcantheut. The divine-like charms they release cannot even be resisted by many weaker gods.

But the legendary monks are directly immune.

Because after becoming extraordinary and becoming saints, their willpower is comparable to that of gods.

"Walking through the world, heaven and earth will be connected everywhere, dethroning dragons all over the world, and everyone will be like a dragon."

——"The Book of Dragon Deposition" written by the high-level legendary warrior monk "Xun"

…………

In this way, the three-person team turned into a four-person team, and the master monk Kong joined the team, and the group continued towards the exile of the Salian relatives.

On the way, the ascetic was taciturn. He didn't like to talk, but Aaron took the initiative to ask him many things.

The conversation mainly focused on Aaron's cousin, Maximian.

I learned from nowhere that Maximian was his disciple.

Unlike the Sanda sect that his master chose, Maximian was born into a noble family and his cousin was unwilling to take a vow of poverty or fight with bare hands like Sora, so he chose the path of a monk - the Sword Saint sect.

The word saint does not mean "justice" or "moral model" in the kingdom. The special context of the word saint in the kingdom represents "the supreme pursuit of a certain kind of affairs."

The monks of the Sword Saint Sect represent the highest pursuit of weapon skills. After choosing this path, Maximian made the "penance oath", which can improve his perception and magic resistance. Advantages, but after taking this vow, Maximia will be troubled by the vow of penance - he must spend at least two hours every day on practice, unbreakable.

Of course, occasionally there may be special circumstances where he cannot practice for more than three days, and then the vow of penance will begin to punish the Sword Saint Sect monk. For example, if a Sword Saint Sect monk has not practiced for three days due to special reasons, then his He will never be able to improve his professional level, and will temporarily lose the bonus of the oath until he finds time to make up for 3*2, which is 6 hours of practice.

Cousin, it’s not easy either.

Aaron learned about Maximian's reconstruction process from nowhere. This true heir trained as a noble knight could be rebuilt as a Sword Saint Sect monk within a few years, and he did not know how much hardship he suffered.

This guy can be used!

The surname Salian is difficult for his cousin to continue with, but as a relative of his own, Maximian may play an important role in his future plans.

The world of the kingdom is different from the world of Aaron's previous life, which was completely atomized and organized into small family units. The power of relatives is very important, very, very important.

It's time to give him and his cousin Anna new surnames.

How about just... Su Pulin?

"Cousin, what is the natural weapon of the Juggernaut that he specializes in?" Aaron asked the last question.

"Sword, and longbow!"

Seeing Aaron's expression gradually softening, the ascetic monk showed an expression of joy after hearing the word "Longbow" and shook his head silently in his heart.

There is always the stain of evil in this child's heart, the original darkness deep in the multiverse.

It wasn't until that moment that this person finally let go of his vigilance towards Mark.

He is not worthy of trust!

While Kong was thinking about Aaron, Aaron was also secretly looking at the master monk.

Since monks always live a life full of rules and regulations, as well as arduous training in controlling "qi", monks are basically lawful.

But lawfulness does not mean kindness. There are many sects among monks, such as Sanda Sect, Shadow Sect, Four Symbols Sect, Sword Saint Sect, Sun Soul Sect and Eternal Death Sect.

Among them, most of the monks of the Eternal Death Sect are lawful evil. These monks believe in the fallen King of Skulls, Melkor, the God of Tyranny, Bane, and even Shar, the Lady of the Night, and Lovita, the Maiden of Pain. .

There are even some Eternal Death Sect monks who still believe in the ancient god of death, the former king of the dead, the king of the end of all things, and the recorder of death, Yeager.

Yes, the previous King of the Dead is still alive today. He is probably an ancient god who has survived in ancient times and has not fallen to this day. He once approached the peak of powerful divine power and was comparable to the current Prince of the Dark Sun, Cyric. He is He gave up most of his priesthood and fell to weak divine power, but his influence was always there, and his followers seemed to be planning something all the time.

Along the way, the few people who had their own thoughts stopped talking. Instead, the two chaotic powers in Aaron's body reacted.

Both of these two great powers of chaos were not shy about their hatred of Sora.

The monk is probably the most hated profession by the four gods of chaos, just like the paladin.

Even the Four Gods of Chaos hate monks more than Paladins.

When a young and vigorous paladin comes to a new area to "do justice" and "slay evil", at least Khorne will look at him with admiration, while Tzeentch will be eager to see the changes that the paladin is about to bring.

Nurgle will smile with contentment and Slaanesh will drool over the conservative paladins who uphold the existing legal order and advocate against radical changes. , the morally steadfast paladin's fall made his good brother Slaanesh even more ecstatic.

Only the monks and the four gods of chaos would frown.

These things are so annoying!

Aaron couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

He was thinking that when he becomes a god in the future (if he can do it), should he introduce Ilmat, the God of Suffering, to the 40K universe to spread his beliefs of "enduring suffering" and "restraining desires"?

The expressions of the four good brothers will be wonderful when the time comes!

After another two hours of driving in the wind and snow, the exile of Salian's relatives arrived.

This is really a desolate place. Just above the frozen swamp stands a small camp with no obstacles around it.

In other words, in the summer, the exiled tribesmen have to live in a humid and hot swamp, and in the winter, it is almost equivalent to living directly on the ice, and then they have to go out to hunt constantly, and every year for Kayneth The Duke turned over enough furs, wood, and rare plants.

Otherwise you will be punished.

If it weren't for the occasional cheese and meat sent by the monks from the monastery, only Su Lun Mama knew how long these tribesmen could persist.

"It's hard for me to imagine that Cousin Mark can persist in this environment for so long and be able to become a monk again." Aaron said to the sky.

"This may be a barren land for you, but for practitioners, it is a blessed land." Kong said calmly: "The summer training is hot and the winter training is extremely cold. It is either hot flashes or cold. When the cold air enters the body, the practitioner can always be in the grinding process. Without suffering, how can one transcend the ordinary and become a saint, realize the cessation of death, and create an ethereal body?"

"Master makes sense." Aaron smiled when he heard this and did not refute.

The camp was in dilapidated condition, and the longhouses that had been barely built had been destroyed in the massacre. The wind and snow blew through the grass, dead trees, and collapsed walls, leaving only traces of the massacre.

"Oh my God, Thom is on top." Leonard looked around, the paladin gritted his teeth, and his iron gloves clattered loudly: "It's simply...inhumane, simply...crazy!"

In the middle of the camp, there was a large iron pot with some leftover bones in it.

Those bones were not animal bones.

There are even some bones that are significantly smaller than others.

All the meat on it was chewed clean.

It's one thing to hear about cannibals, it's another thing to see real cannibalism!

The college president simply couldn't imagine that in the glorious and proud Purple Dragon Kingdom, there would actually be a degenerate person who dared to do such a thing so crazily!

"...May your people be reborn in bliss." Sora clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and sat on the ground.

"Brother..." Charlotte came to Aaron's side and held Aaron's big hand with her small hand in her glove.

The last Salian, Lord Viscount, looked livid.

Dark sun, right?

It’s not over between us!

I said!

After venting his anger for a while, Aaron quickly suppressed the slight sadness in his heart and the anger of seeing the tragic situation with his own eyes, and began to seriously explore the scene.

He soon made a discovery.

The remaining corpses in the camp were all adult female corpses. If Aaron guessed correctly, they should all be wives who were exiled with their husbands.

The bones in the big iron pot were almost all male. In addition, there should be many male corpses taken away.

Aaron took out the list of clansmen given to him by Duke Kayneth and frowned.

Why were all the male corpses of his tribe taken away, leaving only a small number of female corpses still in place?

Why did Cyric, Prince of the Dark Sun, send cannibals to massacre his people?

Cyric has only been a god for more than two years. Logically speaking, neither he, the Salian family nor the Silver Virgin Suellen are the primary enemies of the Prince of the Dark Sun. He has too many enemies, especially She is the third-generation magic goddess, the one Cyric hates, is jealous of, and hates the most.

Well, even if the Dark Sun Church recognizes itself as the Son of Baal or the Son of Bane, then it should deal with itself. Why should it attack its own people?

Many questions arose in Aaron's mind.

However, there may not be correct answers to some questions - Cyric, the Prince of the Dark Sun, is the god of the evil camp. Nothing he does will surprise anyone. People in the evil camp often do things without a reason.

As Aaron knew in his previous life, the most difficult case to solve in criminal investigation is not a well-planned murder, but one where a person suddenly suddenly stabs a lone passerby and then has no witnesses.

"Brother, have you noticed anything? It's so cold outside." The eldest lady hugged Aaron's arm and blew into his ear.

"Sister..." Just when Aaron was about to say, sister, let me see it again, an answer suddenly popped into his head.

Could it be that? !

At this moment, the power of Tzeentch in his body was also activated! The will of the demon bird god from beyond the stars, the Lord of Changes, comes from afar.

"New fun! New species!"

Tzeentch, interested in the cannibals of the realm!

Tzeentch told his chosen ones that he wanted some living cannibal specimens to be sent to the Crystal Maze for the Lord of Change to study.

There are rewards!
