Crown of Chaos

In July 1361 of the Valley Calendar, Feilongshui Lake, the Susar Navy warship "Shesheng".

The scorching sun shines on the spray-filled Feilong Lake, and the surging waves hit the bow of the warship. Under the bright sky, all the secrets are invisible.

Aaron Salian, Viscount Sunset officially went to his fiefdom of Sunset to claim the vassal after bidding farewell to Alice Serre and Charlotte. By the way, he also resigned from his position as Black Staff Ceremony Officer and only retained the title of Minister of the Bodyguard. position.

Before leaving, he and Alice Searle agreed to let her visit his territory next year and come with the eldest lady. He would leave an "unforgettable experience" for the two of them.

Alice Searle happily agreed, and she and the eldest lady said goodbye to Aaron reluctantly.

At the same time that Aaron left Susar, the Queen Regent officially notified the country and established her supreme rule.

Subsequently, Alice Searle issued three important decrees.

First, check the land.

The Princess Regent announced that all registered lands in Cormyr would be inspected from top to bottom. She ordered that the entire country use unified methods to organize the previously complex land ownership and update the land system. Any noble estates, including royal fiefs, would be inspected. All areas must be inspected uniformly, and the majority must be returned to civilians.

This decree is known in history as "The Queen's Concubine".

There are three methods of land inspection. The first is for the nobles as land owners to report their property rights themselves. The second is for the yeoman farmers and the citizen class who own a small amount of land to accept the investigation. The third is for Alice Searle to send bureaucrats to the United Church. Conduct exploration.

This move made the nobles of the whole kingdom complain. Many nobles wanted to complain about nearly half of the illegal occupation of their direct territories, but it was in vain. Alice was resolute. The princess already had enough political capital at this time, and she also had In order to attack her opponents, she did not even let go of her own manor land as the Obeschier royal family, and the nobles had no choice but to hold their noses and comply.

This timing is perfect. After all, Caspar had opposed the seizure of the land before. If a noble dared to jump out at this time, does that mean that he is a comrade of the Duke's faction and a sympathizer of the Son of Bane?

Second, cancel curfews and martial law, and appropriately limit the Queen's Blade's extrajudicial powers.

Third, cancel some tariffs, encourage trade, open most docks, cancel some commercial taxes and market taxes, encourage import and export trade, and reward technological innovation. At the same time, Alice Searle successfully succeeded with the help of Kelburn-Black Stick Established trade relations with the aquatic elves in Dragon Lake and Falling Star Sea.

Articles 2 and 3 can be understood as the lessons the princess learned from this civil strife. She also realized that this kind of control could not last forever. One day, she must step out of her father's shadow and manage the country in her own way.

Three political orders were issued, and the entire environment of Cormyr took on a new look. People rushed to tell each other and cheered for the coming of a new era.

It’s just that these things have little to do with Aaron. As a new fiefdom, he also has to inspect the land. As for the rest of the decree, it is simply the pillow wind that Aaron gave to Alice Searle.

In the dining room of the warship, a transparent divine barrier kept the heat out. In the dining room, Aaron was standing in front of the stove cooking a feast, while Eleanor was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper with a cup in hand. Hot coffee made by Aaron.

Today, Miss Pastor is wearing a soft and elegant knee-length lace skirt in the early summer breeze, and a refreshing cross-stitched flower blouse. Her long, smooth golden hair hangs down naturally, her calm blue eyes are bright under her bangs, and her legs under the skirt are She did not wear stockings but had bare feet. Ru Canbaobao's toes were not painted with any decoration and were exposed through the straps of a pair of simple thick-heeled sandals.

From time to time, Eleanor glanced at Aaron, who was immersed in "Beef and Potatoes Stewed in Tomato Sauce" in front of the stove, and her heart was filled with peace and joy.

Finally, we are heading to the fiefdom, and the next step is our two-person world.

Whenever she thought of this, Miss Pastor couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hahahahahahahaha~" The laughter of a big dragon came from outside, which immediately broke the pastor's joy.

Eleanor glanced out the window and saw a white-haired dragon girl standing on the bow of the ship with her hands on her hips and laughing, with an expression of "I am the king of the world". She ignored other people's chats and lived in her own world. .

That dragon... Eleanor asked in a weird voice: "Aaron, what happened to her?"

"Haha, don't be angry, my dear, our stable life in the future depends largely on her." Aaron finally got the heat right, and he brought the steaming beef stew with tomato sauce to Eleanor, smiling. Then he said: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a giant dragon as a bodyguard?"

"Hey~ Then why do I feel that she seems to have other ideas?" Eleanor pursed her lips, and the pastor lady thought that her boyfriend was really popular.

This is a war that will never stop!

The topic did not continue because cousin Robert came in with a stack of documents, sweat on his forehead: "Aaron, I think you need to take a look at this."

"What is this?" Aaron also changed the subject. He glanced at the door of the restaurant and saw a brown-haired beauty in a short-sleeved skirt standing nervously at the door and watching him.

Her name is Vickers, and she is Robert's current girlfriend.

Since my cousin became famous and got an honorary knighthood, he went around in bars and clubs to hunt for women by telling "the legendary adventure stories of me and my cousin Aaron", relying on his aristocratic status and Susar's military merits. After returning from Arabelle, Robert had many women around him.

My cousin is also very smart. He doesn’t want church girls, aristocratic girls, or high-level professionals. He is specifically looking for someone who is a little bit capable but not too strong. He comes to Susar alone to work alone, and is eager to live a stable life in the city. Single women from civilian backgrounds start their lives and secretly choose the partners they are satisfied with.

Robert actually found a female bard from Tethyr. She was young and beautiful, with a hot figure and wavy brown hair. She longed for a stable and wealthy life, but Robert took her down hard.

But judging from the way he asked Vickers to wait at the door, she didn't have the chance to become a "cousin sister-in-law" yet.

Aaron didn't want to get involved in Robert's personal affairs. He signaled Robert to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

"This is the Anaheim file I compiled, Aaron, and I found something related to you in it." Robert placed the thick file on the dining table, pointed to one of the paragraphs and said, "You Look here, Aaron, the Son of Tyranny once thought you were a Son of Tyranny."

Aaron and Eleanor immediately read the passage Robert had highlighted.

Sure enough, Manakorn had always thought that Aaron was a son of tyranny like him from the beginning until he was preparing to start the uprising. It was not until the two parties had a serious conversation that Manakorn realized that maybe Aaron was not his brother. But that's just suspicion.

"I have never been a son of tyranny. Manakorn recognized the wrong person." Aaron frowned and pinched his chin: "However, if this is the case, then many problems will indeed be explained."

"Yes, this is what I thought of." Robert then quickly turned over the parchment, stopped at the place where he marked, and pointed to the other end: "There is another message, Aaron, Manakorn has been 100% It’s certain that there is definitely a murderous son of God hiding in Susar!”

"Look, here, before you awakened due to that mission, the Son of Tyranny once performed a sacrificial ceremony. During the ceremony, he confirmed that there was indeed a murderous son of God in Susar." Robert continued: " But then the priest in charge of the ceremony was killed mysteriously. Look here, cousin, after the priest was killed, the son of tyranny could no longer perform similar rituals, and there was no clue to find the murderous son of God. "

What? !

Aaron stood up immediately, his eyes narrowed.

Is there a Son of Baal hidden in Susar? !

However, if there really is a son of Baal, then why has he not appeared or participated in so many events?

Aaron looked at the words on the file and was puzzled.

The Anaheim family is a large military-industrial family with countless resources and connections. Afterwards, Manakorn did not give up and continued to search for the hidden son of the murderous god, but he still found nothing.

Did he hide himself to the extreme? Or is he not fully awakened for some reason?

Aaron vaguely remembered that the protagonist Chanem of Baldur's Gate also began to awaken due to some special reasons. Before that, he was an ordinary boy.

"What should we do? Aaron?" Robert had no idea about this. His cousin's extraordinary strength was just that. He could only ask Aaron for his opinion.

"If Anaheim has spent two years without finding it, then our search will be in vain... Killing the Son of God does not mean that he is destined to be evil." Aaron thought and said: "For now, we still focus our energy on Let’s go to new territory.”

"Wait, Aaron." At this moment, Eleanor suddenly spoke, and the pastor remembered what Aaron had just told her: "Well, didn't Senior Disma... just choose to leave the kingdom? ?”

"Yes." Aaron responded casually: "I gave up chasing, because when things got to this point, apart from the relatively conservative rules of the Purple Dragon Knights and the somewhat arbitrary mentor Lucian, it was mainly Disma's own problem... …Later, the university president learned about this and went to chase him, but he couldn’t be caught. They just had a fight.”

"Aaron, Senior Disma is only a little older than you..." Eleanor continued, Miss Pastor's eyes were full of worry.

"Yeah, he just...wait, what do you mean?"

Aaron lowered his head and looked at the pastor lady.

A possibility came to their mind.

Could it be?

…………

Aaron didn't try to chase Disma again. He had done his best regarding the second senior student.

The next day, Aaron and others officially arrived at their fiefdom, Sunset Territory.

Sunset Territory, the plain beside Feilongshui Lake. There is a small hill on the side of the plain near Feilongshui Lake, called Sunset Hills. It is said that a priest of Lathander, the god of dawn, died gloriously here in battle. After he died in battle, Later, Lathander was grateful for the priest's loyalty and courage, so the morning light did not rise for a long time. Therefore, for a period of time, this hill could only see the sun, sunset and night, but not the dawn, so it was difficult to see the dawn. It's called Sunset Hills.

The Sunset Territory began large-scale reclamation during the Asan IV period. One after another, logging teams entered the Hurek Forest and established many settlements. However, this also led to conflicts with the indigenous people and some druids in the Hurek Forest. After a fierce conflict, with the Holy Catastrophe and the Goblin War, Cormyr was unable to invest military and financial resources to continue development. It became a place of chaos and continued to be harassed by orcs, kobolds, gnolls, goblins, and the forest. Occasional attacks by lizardfolk tribes, duergar, and drow.

The people here are strong and they painfully resist attacks from foreign enemies again and again.

The people here are poor, and they are constantly asking the kingdom to lend a helping hand to save the settlement in trouble.

And now, as the warship docked and the figure shrouded in the sun stepped onto this land, the thousands of local residents surrounding the shore suddenly burst into the fiercest cheers!

"Aaron! Aaron! Aaron!"

"Here he comes, he comes toward us."

"Your Excellency Salian is here! The sun is here!"

"The sundown leader will no longer set the sun. From today on, we have our own lord!"

People cheered and crowded in on themselves, struggling to stretch out their hands to get closer to their idol.

The elders of the local village came forward and presented wine, sun-salted salt and bread made by themselves.

This shows how important it is that Aaron has been carefully cultivating his reputation and prestige. Without this reputation, he would never have received this level of welcome and support.

At the same time, the local militia leaders also presented their swords and shields and knelt at Aaron's feet, swearing allegiance.

Eleanor, Robert, Maximian and other people who came to the fief with Aaron all felt honored.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Magical consultant Barrel-Moonflower touched her belly and exclaimed: "It's just another reincarnation. This is human beings, full of vitality, so lovable."

"..." Doherty, the half-orc who was resurrected by Khorne, crossed his arms. The humans around him were obviously very happy, but he only felt noisy.

The dwarf craftsman Foujar struggled to stand on tiptoes. The greedy master craftsman was already planning to choose that place as the base of his blacksmith guild, but he couldn't see outside no matter how hard he tried, and he was so anxious that he blew his beard and stared.

"Hahahaha~ These slaves are very understanding~" Dalonglong happily accepted the welcome of the lower races.

All the restlessness ceased as Aaron clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

I saw the Viscount of the Sunset Territory pointing a "3" to the sky: "I am here to do only three things!"

"First, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!" Aaron yelled.

There were gasps, and many residents had red eyes on the spot when Aaron said this.

"Second, tell all the races here that we are the masters of this place!"

There were suppressed cheers, and many young and energetic humans spread their arms. Aaron's words touched their hearts.

"Third, everyone, I love chicken!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was a sound of confusion around him, and even Eleanor looked at Aaron strangely.

Aaron ignored everyone's reactions and then extended a third finger: "I like chicken very much, so I plan to make every resident of this land affordable to eat chicken for dinner!"

“Winner winner, chicken dinner!”

Feilong Water Lake is boiling! People's shouts set off waves in the lake.

The new lord won the hearts of the people in just three sentences.

Good luck, let’s eat chicken tonight!

Aaron was squeezed in the middle of the crowd. He looked at the residents of the Sunset Territory who were in ragged clothes but with light in their eyes with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the scorching sun above the sky.

So, here goes!

My ambition!
