Crown of Chaos

Chapter 144, Laying out Sword Coast

The representative sent by the Three Gods of Justice is a middle-aged legendary paladin who looks about 40 or 50 years old and has gray hair on his temples. His name is Anton. He brings a small team of paladin, several priests and some church administrators. People come here.

His nickname is "Hand of the Dawn". This legendary paladin once achieved many feats in the south of the country. It is said that his greatest deed was that one day he went to explore a noble castle. Unexpectedly, the noble family had already fallen into Devil's hand!

Anton went in at night, and when he opened the castle door at dawn, there were piles of corpses inside the castle. His whole body seemed to be fished out of blood, except for the hand holding the sword that was uninjured.

He single-handedly defeated the entire devil army and a big devil!

It was from this day that Anton got the nickname "Hand of the Dawn"!

This legendary paladin is a representative figure sent by the Three Gods of Justice to cooperate, and is also the famous special profession "Three Holy Knights".

The Three Holy Knights are special professions and holy warriors who believe in "Tyr, Tom, and Ilmat" at the same time. The history of the Three Holy Knights can be traced back to the evil war in Imbutu, and since then they have become the three gods of justice. symbol appears.

It is said that the three holy knights have a unique skill called "Triple Evil-Breaking Slash", which can be three times as powerful as the "Holy Slash" at one time.

Unfortunately, few people have seen it, and those who have seen it have died.

Anton, the Hand of the Dawn, greeted Aaron. Visitors from the Church of the Three Gods of Justice seemed out of place in the Temple of Suni. Although both parties were from the good camp, the Hand of the Dawn always felt that these hedonists were a bit "too much." free".

When Anton just came in, he saw a muscular man wearing a red scarf and wearing only star-striped shorts singing and dancing, showing the unique enthusiasm of tropical barbarians, which made the visitors of the Church of Justice look dark. I wanted to stop him, but I realized that this was Shuni's church, so I could only hold it in.

That's the good thing about lawful good. As long as it's not clearly illegal or evil, they often can only persuade. No wonder everyone likes to be friends with them.

Anton was not very enthusiastic. The Hand of the Dawn was just following orders. Although he was surprised by Aaron's charisma, he just looked at Aaron twice.

Another legendary professional, the representative of the God of Guard Heim, is called Vigilant Eye. This guy behaves even more differently. He has his entire body framed in armor from head to toe, and even his faceplate is only open. There were a few thin gaps, making it doubtful whether he could see clearly outside.

The Heim guards behind him were also dressed in this way.

Unlike the Three Gods of Justice, the Church of Heim pays special attention to and is particularly enthusiastic about the Silver Chamber of Commerce. They are mainly responsible for the execution and notarization of cosmetics business contracts, and the protection of caravans.

The Church of Helm may be one of the churches that has been most affected after the Year of Turmoil. The guardian god Helm's cold and ruthless act of killing the second-generation magic goddess made him lose all popularity, and the Church of Helm has suppressed civilians on a large scale in the mortal world. Their reputation was also tarnished by the uprising and the plundering of Maztec wealth.

The Church of Heim is trying hard to restore its reputation and influence, but it is also eager for new wealth and income.

Therefore, contrary to Anton, the Hand of the Dawn, the Vigilant Eye was quite enthusiastic about the composition of the Silver Chamber of Commerce. He asked questions repeatedly, and Ms. Garland and Ms. Silver Star also gave sufficient answers.

Aaron sat on one side with Eleanor. He didn't say much during the whole process. Lady Silver Star mainly negotiated on behalf of the Sulon Sect.

This is also Aaron's purpose, and an alliance with him as the core is forming.

In today's meeting alone, three legends appeared. This shows one thing, that is, as Aaron's strength and influence rise, he begins to enter the vision of legendary powerhouses, and he can also begin to come into contact with them. These people are gone.

Unfortunately, he is still just a supplier of raw materials, and he is currently unable to order these legends.

But considering that financial interests have tied everyone together, Aaron has reason to believe that if he encounters trouble, these legends will never stand by and watch. Even a little further, the gods behind these legends will definitely not watch something happen to him, right?

And, beyond financial gain, Aaron also had his future in mind.

That is how to expand your influence in the Sword Coast region.

Sword Coast is located in the west of Cormyr. It has always been the place where major events in the country have taken place. Whether it is Waterdeep City, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter City, or Silvermoon City, they are all the places where many forces clash.

Aaron remembered that many games and novels related to Den Ni in his previous life took place in the Sword Coast region.

It's a pity that he has only played a short period of Baldur's Gate, and has only heard of the others. For example, he knows that "Neverwinter Nights" takes place in the city of Neverwinter, and he knows that Silvermoon City once banned Drizzt from entering, but he knows He knew almost nothing about the specifics.

All these things must be prepared in advance.

Aaron already had a faint sense of crisis.

Aaron entrusted Eleonora to take another look at the snake-man ruins in the Stormhorn Mountains.

All the sleeping snake people disappeared, and they were collectively at a loss. There were only empty ponds left in the secret room, and a big Slaanesh symbol.

Aaron knew very well that as his activities intensified, the projection of the Four Chaos Gods on the country was deepening. Perhaps in a few years, he would face the first Chaos invasion.

His "novice protection period" is almost over. After entering rashly and being beaten by blasters at the beginning, the Four Gods of Chaos have begun to understand through Aaron what the rules of the game are like in the kingdom and how to play the game of the gods.

Chaos technology must be realized as soon as possible, and the Sword Coast region is indeed the best trading place. There is no unified empire or dictatorship in this region. Goods can be easily circulated quickly. After being released in waves, After trying the product, thousands of ladies, high-level professionals and great wizards have been waiting eagerly for the silver lotion, waiting for it to be sold by the Silver Chamber of Commerce.

Over and over again, it is estimated that the annual profit from the silver emulsion alone can reach tens of thousands of gold coins. This is still a conservative estimate.

With such a huge profit, Aaron would never dare to take it all for himself with his current strength.

As for why he wanted to involve the Church of the Three Gods of Justice and the Church of Heim, in addition to helping Su Lun Mama, Aaron also had his own considerations.

If the Church of Helm can provide the most unbreakable spiritual contract and caravan guard in the world, then why does Aaron want to involve the three gods of justice?

This actually involves the characteristics of the three gods of justice.

As the god-king of the three gods of justice, Tyr has two slightly conflicting spirits in his teachings.

First, Tyr represents civilization and enlightenment. He resolutely opposes tyranny and unfair laws, and works hard to promote the construction of various morals and laws and supervise the fairness and justice of all intelligent creatures in various regions. He is the force that promotes enlightenment and reform (even revolution) in areas of corruption and disorder.

Secondly, the Three Gods of Justice are firm conservatives regarding those well-established and customary laws formed by laws and folk morals that are generally recognized as fair.

With the dual imprints of reform and conservatism, the believers of the Three Gods of Justice uphold the belief that "I won't keep the law if it is not good" and "I will keep the law if it is good."

Therefore, from a certain perspective, the three gods of justice are comrades who share the same ideals as Su Lun.

For Aaron, this is something to exploit.

Aaron once said in his previous life, "Comrades are more reliable than compatriots."

In Aaron's opinion, this statement is only half correct, that is, if it is based on principle, comrades are indeed more reliable than compatriots, but in terms of long-term and specific practice, compatriots are easier to maintain long-term relationships than comrades.

To give a decent example, when we are all against Romanov, anyone who opposes Romanov is a comrade and a united front target to be fought for, even if this person is just facing Romanov's portrait. Comrade Iron.

However, what if Romanov is gone? Was it wiped out?

The concept of homosexuality has a shelf life.

When they were sent to the Lubyanka, the Gulag, and the mental hospital, they were no longer gay and had been expelled.

It is even more difficult to expel compatriots. Even if they are sent to the Lubyanka, their status is still that of compatriots, because compatriots have a longer shelf life. This is an identity that relies on language, culture, beliefs and blood.

But we should not be overly superstitious about our compatriots. In human history, compatriots have killed each other no less often than they have against foreigners.

Don't be superstitious about your compatriots or comrades. Use whichever one is easier to use. Conflicts are always changing.

Therefore, if I have to choose, I can only say "comrades among compatriots are more reliable."

As for the Church of the Three Gods of Justice, they are "comrades among compatriots" to Aaron. Coupled with the binding of interests, Aaron believes that the alliance between the two parties should be able to last for a long time. The Three Gods of Justice are also a lawful good camp, even if they are If there are differences later, the alliance of egoists will almost always break up and merge, while the altruists can negotiate concessions and at most break up peacefully.

Devils and demons can go through countless years of bloody battles, but Aaron has never heard of good angels and good goblins fighting every day.

As for who is truly reliable?

Aaron squeezed Eleanor's little hand under the table and smiled at her.

Interests and emotions are intertwined, and the pastor lady who is one with her body and soul is the most reliable!

In addition, Aaron has a deeper purpose in his heart that he cannot tell anyone.

He needs to prepare an escape route.

This is the profound experience he summed up as a grassroots employee in his previous life, that is, in a centralized system, no matter how powerful a person is, it is only temporary, and you must always prepare an escape route for yourself in advance.

The escape route Aaron prepared for himself was:

You know, Samir is my brother. We have fought side by side and defeated many opponents. Chanem and I have known each other for a long time. This guy is incredibly strong. I think the three of us can have a good chemistry together. , sometimes it’s hard to make a decision. After many days and nights of thinking, I decided to bring my talents to the West Coast (Sword Coast region). I can’t wait to put on the robes of the nobles of Waterdeep (or the nobles of Baldur’s Gate). , as for Leonard, Disma, I wish them all the best in Cormyr!

He was loyal to Cormier, but that didn't mean he would be foolish enough to die without resisting if he was de-lorded and sent to the guillotine.

Introducing foreign capital has always been a great achievement. If Aaron can have considerable influence and interest network in the Sword Coast and the country, it will be difficult for the princess or the possible Duke Casper to move him.

There was a lot of content going around in my mind, and Ms. Silver Star, Ms. Garland, Hand of Dawn and Eye of Vigilance had almost finished talking.

The Silver Virgin Mary Church accounts for 45% of the equity of the Baiyin Chamber of Commerce, of which Aaron exclusively owns 20% through technology investment, Suni Church is responsible for promotion and 20%, Heim Church is responsible for contract notarization and protecting trade routes, and the Church of the Three Gods of Justice accounts for 20%. Responsibility for handling various emergencies and safeguarding justice accounts for 15%.

The agreement has since been signed.

Under the magic fireworks, the Silver Chamber of Commerce was officially established!

Before the meeting ended, Ms. Garland found Aaron: "Please stay, Lord Salian.

"Is there anything else, Ms. Garland?" Eleanor immediately came to Aaron's side, held his arm, and looked at Suni's legendary priest with eyes as guarding against thieves.

"Keke, Yuemu Zhe, I'm not looking for him because of personal matters." Ms. Huahuan was stunned for a moment, then giggled: "I know he is your boyfriend, but I am also his collaborator. I want to follow him He said a few words in private."

"My business is Eleanor's business, Ms. Garland, please speak frankly." Aaron pulled Eleanor, indicating that Suni's pastor could speak frankly.

"Your Excellency Aaron Salian, I am telling you on behalf of our Lord's Church." Ms. Garland put away her smile: "What happened to Cavill Kent will not happen again."

Both Aaron and Eleanor's expressions changed slightly, Aaron frowned slightly, and Eleanor looked at Aaron in disbelief. The pastor lady knew that Aaron had finally taken revenge on that guy.

"He came to mess with me first." Aaron said helplessly.

"My lord knows, but the things you used on him are really... If it weren't for the fact that he himself enjoyed it very much, living a life without touching the ground surrounded by the druids in the green garden, We must ask you for an explanation." Ms. Garland stamped her heels: "He is our Lord's pastor anyway. If you encounter something similar again in the future, you can come to me directly, but you can't retaliate privately like this again! "

"I will give you the same words, Ms. Garland." Aaron nodded: "Also, if there is a next time, then I will ask him what 'true love' is in his mouth? If true love can be designated casually, then what is it called? Real love?"

"Let this matter be over." Ms. Hua Huan did not answer directly.

Good people have a trait that makes people both love and hate them - protecting their shortcomings.

…………

The news of the establishment of the Silver Chamber of Commerce, followed by the news of Aaron's team of four annihilating the Dragon Witch Cult, once again shocked the entire Cormyr and even the central region of the country.

Outside Susar City, in the great noble manor, Purple Dragon Knight Manakorn-Anaheim was playing with a bright Netheril platinum coin in his hand. The front of this platinum coin was engraved with the pattern of the floating city. , and on the north side is engraved the photo of Grand Arcanist Karthus.

Divine Son Benn frowned.

Aaron Salian's rise has exceeded his imagination. Now the establishment of the Silver Chamber of Commerce means that it is very difficult for Son of God Bane to take action against Aaron.

The headquarters of the Silver Chamber of Commerce is located in Susal. There are currently three legends in the headquarters, namely the Lady of the Garland, the Hand of the Dawn, and the Vigilant Eye. If you include the quasi-legend of the Silver Star Lady, there are four!

This guy Aaron!

Divine Son Benn clenched his fists tightly, his teeth gritted loudly, and the evil fire in his heart had nowhere to vent, and he really wanted to smash everything in the room.

After getting angry, Manakorn moved his eyes to the table in front of him, and his expression finally relaxed a little.

His plan is almost complete.

There is a slender glass bottle on the table, with red liquid rippling in the bottle. The bottle cap is made in the shape of a bone dragon sculpture. Inside the bottle is the cooperation content of the Dragon Witch Cult - a potion used to stimulate the bloodline of the ancient dragon. .

With this potion, he can prove to the people that the regent is nothing more than a lunatic with no sense or self-control, and she cannot unify the entire country at all.

At the same time, he gained a new ally. The dracolich "Shadow Neighing" Oglorosa found him through the relationship with the Cult of the Dragon. A whole battalion of half-dragons and the legendary dracolich were ready at any time. revenge.

And another ally...

Son of God Ben opened the mechanism on the table, and a small black and red sculpture rose up.

The projection of a big devil appeared. His body was covered with crimson scales, and a pair of huge bat-like wings stretched out from his back. Green venom was constantly dripping from his mouth, and there were 12 hanging on his waist. A belt made of screaming angel heads, a giant flaming sword held tightly by claw-like hands.

"Have you thought about it? Son of tyranny?"

"The Eight Demon Generals' armies can be dispatched at any time, as long as you abide by the agreement."
