Crown of Chaos

That evening Aaron called together the companions who were now under his control.

Besides himself and Eleanor, those present at the dinner were:

Maximian, the monk of the Sword Saint Sect.

The half-orc swordmaster Doherty, the champion of Khorne - the Blood Sword.

Samir, the warrior of chaos unity.

Cousin, scholar Robert.

These people are the small group Aaron has just formed. This is the first time he has gathered all these people together to prepare for the next thing.

Regarding the matter of Son of God Bane, he needed to discuss it with these subordinates.

In addition to these people who are relatively close to Aaron, there are also cousin Anna and Fiolena, the guard knight assigned to him by Alice Sayre.

Cousin Anna seems to have turned on some strange switch since she woke up. This girl has a special affinity for life magic. She has the potential of a druid. Therefore, under Aaron's training, Anna decided to embark on the life magic. The wizard's path, in the Temple of Sullun, there are seven or eight half-grown children who have decided to take this path.

Aaron's goal is to try to have one such mage in each company in his army in the future. This can greatly reduce the number of casualties among soldiers. Even when there are more life mages in the future, Aaron can also establish "medical support" system.

As for the Guards Knight Fiolena, she is a taciturn and powerful warrior. Aaron does not completely trust her, and she does not care much. She just silently completes Alice Ser's instructions.

Today's dinner is very rich. The menu is steamed halibut with cauliflower mousse, navy turbot, roasted venison loin, braised red cabbage, lamb tenderloin, grilled large eggplant, carrot mixed with fresh vegetables, strawberry cream pie, verbena Cream sauce, Lucia style mashed potatoes.

After finishing the dinner, several people came to the reception room on the first floor. They all came because of Aaron's summons, and their attitudes were different.

Samir always had a smile on his face and would not offend anyone.

The half-orc swordmaster Doherty leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, and his tribe settled outside the city of Susal.

Maximian silently recited the penance scriptures and waited for Aaron to speak.

Cousin Robert was a little anxious. He had already drank two glasses of water and was just waiting for Aaron to speak.

On the wall of the reception room is written "Zheng Qing Renhe", which was written by Aaron himself.

Pulling Eleanor to sit down, Aaron was a little regretful that Charlotte didn't come. The eldest lady was definitely an important helper, but her confidentiality was often not good enough and she was busy, so Aaron didn't call her.

Aaron told everyone in the room the information he had so far.

"What? Are you saying that Lord Manakorn-Anaheim colluded with foreign enemies and planned to overthrow our Kingdom of Cormyr?!" Cousin Robert jumped up first: "Then what are you waiting for? Aaron, aren't you free to enter and leave the palace? You should present this news to His Highness as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Robert wanted to get up and write, waiting for Aaron to dictate, and he would write the document.

"Robert, calm down. Aaron must have his own ideas when he chooses to do this." Maximian stopped Robert, and his cousin clasped his hands together: "Aaron, do you want to kill this son of tyranny in one go? ?”

"Yes." Aaron nodded, and he said to several of his men: "Based on the current situation and evidence, if we want to completely solve his problem, we can only let him come out on his own."

"How can it be so troublesome?" Doherty still closed his eyes: "Who do you want to kill? I will kill him! Put the knife together and live up to the name of the blood god. Go out in the morning and pick up the head!"

"Well said, Blood Sword, if you kill him now, then Manakorn will become a martyr of the kingdom, and we will become rebels." Samir laughed and clapped his hands: "You are going to give the son of tyranny a thorough cleansing White!"

Doherty didn't answer, the Khorne champion obviously unwilling to think hard.

"Yes, Samir is right." Aaron glanced at Samir and thought that this guy is indeed a team gluer.

"Aaron, I trust your judgment. Assuming that Manakorn is the son of tyranny, then I have no objection to you trying to deal with him, and I am willing to fully assist you." Maximian was silent for a while and asked: "But, Where is Duke Caspar?"

"Duke Caspar and Manakorn are the closest friends, and he is the legal heir to the regency. We can deal with the son of tyranny, but if Duke Caspar is also involved, then without the support of the princess, this is A coup! Maximian raised his concerns: "So, it is better to have some communication with His Highness. "

"If communicating with His Highness could solve the problem, I would have communicated with His Highness a long time ago." Aaron pinched his chin: "This road will not work."

"Are you planning to arrest the husband of the Crown Princess?" Maximian lost his voice: "Aaron, we can't do this. Duke Caspar is a good man."

"Whether a person is good or bad sometimes cannot be decided by himself, cousin." Aaron said solemnly: "If the son of tyranny really takes action as we expected, then Duke Caspar is the helper of civil strife. Sin, is the husband of a crown princess who takes the son of tyranny as his confidant and always provides him with help? Can he still be considered a good person?”

Maximian was silent, and his cousin nodded painfully. He had to admit that Aaron was right.

"What we have to do is to try to control the scale of this civil strife and minimize its damage to the kingdom. If the conspiracy of the son of tyranny cannot succeed, we must try our best to avoid harming the civilians." Aaron continued Said: "At present, our understanding of the Son of Tyranny's plan is still limited. Apart from the plan to mobilize foreign troops into the capital and his possible collusion with the Dragon Witch Cult and Hell, we don't know what else he has prepared."

"Dougherty, your people will be stationed outside the city, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. We may need your strength at that time."

"clear!"

"Samir, please pay attention to mobilizing the power of the Harper Alliance. If the situation changes, you need to respond immediately."

"give it to me."

"Robert, you should keep a low profile during this time, attend more banquets, and go if you are invited. Mark, you should keep a low profile during this time, and improve your skills."

"Eleanor, if you can't contact me by then, I give you full authority to manage all my affairs, everything."

"I know." Miss Pastor's eyes were shining brightly. She didn't like to talk much when she was around Aaron.

"Everything is for the good of the kingdom!"

"So, this is an emergency, please be careful, everyone." Aaron stood up and ended the meeting.

"Wait a minute, boss." Samir said with a smile again: "As soon as you start the meeting, we can be considered a small organization. Please give us a name, boss."

Give me a name?

Aaron thinks about his future.

Yes, as his power grows, his organization should also have a name.

What should it be called?

Aaron recalled his favorite team in his previous life, thought of the Slaanesh power he first activated, thought of his origin and identity as the Purple Dragon Knight, and he had the answer.

"Let's call it, Silver Dragon Knights."

…………

In the following time, Aaron began to make various preparations intensively while waiting for the news.

He first asked someone to identify the treasure of the legendary assassin.

At this time, he finally confirmed that this legendary strongman came from the Sea of ​​the Moon, nicknamed the Terror Blade, and was powerful. He was hired by the priest of the Dark Sun Church to assassinate him.

The reward is a bit of the divinity of the former Phantom Goddess Leila.

Cyric! Dark sun!

Just wait for me! Aaron clenched his fists, furious.

He swore that he would kill this madman.

Unfortunately, Fear Blade is just his nickname, not his real name. In the country, most people engaged in black industries such as assassination will not use their own names.

In the kingdom, real names cannot be revealed at will.

It is said that believers of Ogma, the god of knowledge, have a special ritual. Through a mysterious sacrificial ceremony, they can learn their [true name] from the oracle of the namer. This [true name] will be related to the soul of life. The body is completely bound. This ritual will greatly strengthen the person's power. However, if the [true name] is exposed to others, it means that life and death are controlled by others.

In Aaron's previous life, his ID card was controlled by others and could be used for facial recognition at will.

Among the treasures of the legendary assassin were an extraordinary enchanted longbow "Whisper of the Wind" and an elf magic item "Elona's Quiver". Aaron gave these two items to his cousin Maximian, who, as the Sword Master Zongwu Monk needs a good bow.

A ring called "Summoning Wind Element Ring" can summon a wind element to assist in the battle. The specific wind element summoned is determined by the user's charm.

However, this ring has flaws. I don’t know whether it’s due to overuse of the Terror Blade or the brute force of Tzeentch’s good brother. This ring can only be used once for the last time.

Aaron held this ring and thought to himself, what kind of wind element could I summon with my level of charisma?

This can only be known when you use it.

Then there's the horn.

The appraiser from the Adventurer's Guild gave Aaron a 50% discount for his sake and took a full 500 gold lion coins from Aaron. Only then did he appraise this extraordinary magical item.

[Horn of Valhalla: A legendary extraordinary item. Using this horn will summon 4-10 random berserker souls from the Joseph Garden plane. If the user is proficient in military weapons, the berserkers will assist the user in fighting. , otherwise the berserkers will attack the user.

The horn will enter a recharging state after use, and it will take at least 10 days before it can be used again. 】

This is an extremely rich harvest. With this horn, Aaron has an elite team that can protect himself at any time.

In the end, the pile of sundries, souvenirs and gems were depreciated and sold for more than 3,000 gold lion coins.

After taking care of the dirt, Aaron went to the library again. Relying on the highest authority given by the Queen Regent, he finally found the information about Everesca and the previous Hell Merchant Bald Singer.

It’s Ms. Silinci’s book. She mentioned that Everesca is one of the last settlements of the moon elves in the country. This place is still connected to the Elf Empire Navy, but the specific location and how to access it are unknown to Silin. Ms. Linxi’s reply was “no comment.”

It's okay, it's already marked on the Dreadblade treasure map.

Then there are Menauros and Azgrat mentioned by the bald singer.

The third level of hell, Minauros, the territory of Grand Duke Mammon, a place forever covered in rain and mire swamps, is also where the bald singer belongs.

Azgrat, levels 45-47 of the Abyss, is the territory belonging to the abyss lord "Six-Finger" Graz'zt.

Graz'zt, Lord of Darkness, great lord of the abyss, godlike power, fallen ruler and guardian of decadent life. Warlocks and mages also generally respect him, as he is said to be the keeper of countless secrets.

"Emm... This guy, I always feel like his personality is a bit like..." Aaron looked at the description in the book and fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, the frivolous and graceful voice of Slaanesh's good brother inside him sounded in his ears, and he couldn't wait to hear it.

"Oh~ dear, where did you find the information? What is this? Huh? Six fingers? A symbol of dissoluteness? Does he deserve it? Does he deserve it? Does he deserve it? Does he deserve it? Does he deserve it????"

"Cricket, a false god, dares to claim to be the embodiment of temptation and charm! How bold, so bold!"

"Keeper of secrets? Presumptuous? How dare you call yourself a keeper of secrets?"

"My love, you will dedicate the body and soul of this false god to me as a witness of our love and a symbol of our friendship, right?"

Good brother Slaanesh whispered in Aaron's ear. Obviously, this abyss lord named Six Fingers not only aroused Slaanesh's anger, but also aroused the extremely strong interest of good brother Slaanesh.

It seems that Slaanesh's good brother wants to have a "close encounter" with Graz'zt.

Aaron was silent for a while.

The fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields.

He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Of course!"

"Great! My love, I'm going to give you a snake kiss and stick my tongue into your stomach!" Slaanesh screamed excitedly.

"That's fine." Aaron rejected Slaanesh's offer.

He likes to use Slaanesh's tongue on others, but he doesn't like others to do this to him!

All preparations are being carried out intensively. At the same time, Aaron has not given up on honing his body and strength. He continues to improve his magic control and exercise his body.

He had a wonderful premonition that he would come face to face with Son of God Bane.

It's interesting to say that according to his intelligence, God Son Bane changed careers halfway like him. God Son Bane was said to have been trained as an Anaheim arms dealer, but he was forced to switch to purple after the Year of Turmoil. Dragon Knight, embark on the road to participate in politics.

Aaron has always been trained as a Purple Dragon Knight but the results were not good until he awakened the power of chaos and embarked on the path of a warlock. Although Aaron still has the title of Purple Dragon Knight on his head, everyone knows In the future, he will not continue his studies in the Knights. He will either go abroad or work in the palace as a close minister of the princess.

The two people are actually very similar, but they are completely different at heart.

Aaron was personally chosen by the Four Gods of Chaos. Although he retained a certain amount of kindness, he deeply hated Bane's bureaucratic, lawful and totalitarian style.

The two sides are destined not to get along harmoniously, not to mention that Aaron still needs to seize the priesthood of "Dispute".

Aaron has learned that Duke Caspar and Duke Marelli jointly proposed to hold a large banquet in the manor in the city to celebrate the recapture of Arabelle. The expenses will be paid by Duke Marelli. All the nobles of Cormyr and the Queen Regent were invited to the banquet. He also agreed to go.

Aaron already smelled a conspiracy.

He took the opportunity to make a request to the Queen Regent.

"What, you want to conduct combat training with me? Are you sure?" On a bright spring day, the regent Queen Alice Searle was surprised by the request of her black staff ceremonial officer.

"Yes, please have mercy on me, Your Highness." Aaron said respectfully.

"It's not impossible..." Alice Serre confirmed from Aaron's eyes that he was serious. The ice and snow on his delicate and cold face melted instantly, and she raised a slight smile at the corner of her mouth and raised her fingers towards the overestimating man. .

"Yes, yes, but if you lose, there will be punishment~!"

"Let's do this. If you lose once, you have to serve me once. If you lose five times, you have to unconditionally agree to my request. How about it?" Alice Serre smiled. The princess was actually a little bit embarrassed when she saw Aaron not taking the initiative during this period. Dissatisfied, and just thinking about how to find an excuse to get Aaron to take the initiative to bring up this matter, wouldn't Aaron just show up at his door?

You are a little kitten, what else can you do? Can you escape from my grasp?

You can't!

Alice Searle already has a picture in her mind!
