Crown of Chaos

Hurek Sacred Forest and Hot Spring Baths.

Anyone who comes to Hurek Sacred Forest will be surprised by the changes here in more than a month. It’s not that the changes here are so earth-shaking, but they are surprised by the compromise and transformation of the druids. Only after Aaron conquered In less than a month after entering the Hurek Forest, he personally took action several times to solve the problem of the corruption of the sacred forest. While welcoming back the former guardian Harsin of the sacred forest, he also erased the former guardian Da Ba - the mark left by thorns.

The sacred forest quickly accepted Aaron's comprehensive transformation. Aaron did not touch the core area surrounded by standing stones. He almost responded to the remaining moderate druids' requests. Not only did he provide money, but he also agreed. Despite the Druids' request to "not over-exploit the forest," the arable land developed in the Hurek Forest is less than one-twentieth of the total forest area. This level of development is too much for the Druids. Totally acceptable.

Many people would like to know, what are the standards for Druid development of nature?

The answer is simple, there are no specific criteria.

Moderates, centrists, and extreme druids each have their own standards for the level of development of nature. I can only propose an analogy here.

A hunter goes into the forest to hunt in winter, kills a deer to fill the stomachs of his family, and uses deer skin to make some clothes for the winter. In this case, most druids will express their approval, and the druids themselves will also want to Fill your belly by hunting and farming.

A hunter went into the forest to hunt many times in winter and killed seven or eight deer. Not only did he fill his family's stomachs with deer meat, but he also sold the excess meat and leather on the street to subsidize his family's income, allowing his family to live a comfortable and prosperous life. With this kind of behavior, the druids will begin to split within themselves. Some druids will think that the hunter is just to make a good life for the family of three. There is nothing to blame. After all, they themselves also have to gain some life through trade. Necessity, some druids will begin to try to stop the hunters, thinking that they have destroyed the balance.

A group of hunters established a hunting guild, regularly organized hunting teams to go into the forest to hunt deer and formed an industrial chain. In this case, most druids would want to strike hard and no longer hesitate.

Therefore, the druid's protection of nature is not just a simple difference between 0 and 1, but a long scale from 0 to 100. If the degree of forest development by the nearby resident nobles is 10, the vast majority of druids will They won't say anything. If the ratio reaches 50, then many druids will plan to take action.

However, the most troublesome part is here. It is always difficult for the lords to judge whether a druid is "moderate" or "extreme", because a moderate druid may keep appearing in the lord's meetings with a tough attitude. Protests were made in the guest room, using magic to intimidate the villagers, and deterring the pioneers by showing their fighting prowess, raising the warning level step by step.

In this case, a moderate druid might be considered "extreme."

An extremist druid may come out to investigate in a friendly manner, give "advice" calmly, tell the lord if he needs any help, just come to me, or even release magic to increase the yield of the villagers' land to show their power, but in the dark He may have united with gnolls, bandits, or even more terrifying evil races to provide them with intelligence and lure the villagers into the trap step by step.

In this case, the extreme druid will be considered "moderate".

So when Aaron announced his intention to completely transform the hot spring cave near the sacred grove into a large hot spring bath and a kingdom sanatorium, Harsin, the great druid of the moon, responded with a wry smile.

Mr. Aaron was swearing by Feilongshui Lake before, but he turned around and occupied the best land near the sacred forest, and shamelessly announced that "cooperation" would not only occupy their land, but also the Drews. Yi worked for him.

If it weren't for the fact that the druids who failed in their internal fights were all true moderates, there must have been some druids who had secretly planted the seeds of "looking for an opportunity to fight with him."

Frankly speaking, Aaron's salary to these moderate druids is very high, which is very exciting, but as the guardian of the sacred forest, Halsin does not care about salary, he cares more about how to maintain nature. of unity and balance.

Before he could express his attitude, Harsin was shocked by Aaron.

With the ability to turn stone into gold, the Son of Chaos quickly transformed the hot springs in the cave into countless tricks.

Courage Red Pond - Soaking in this hot spring can activate muscles, revitalize the soul, accelerate bleeding speed and physiological metabolism, quickly restore the soaker's physical strength and strengthen strength.

Blue Pond of Wisdom - Soaking in this hot spring can nourish the soul, restore magic power, and help the caster meditate and control magic power. Any spell caster who steps into the hot spring will feel that his head is extremely clear and comfortable.

Healing Green Pool - The bright green pool water can lift almost all curses, repair body parts, repair soul wounds, and even strengthen the body after long soaking.

Rose Purple Pool - A pool full of rose petals with attractive incense, easily removes odor, removes acne pits, scars, blackheads and oil, regulates cuticles, repairs skin barrier, and offers one-click whitening services.

Harsin still can't figure out how Aaron did it. He didn't see Aaron transporting several boxes of rose petals. How come the rose petals can sprout endlessly from the rose purple pool? And what about incense?

As if with a "whoosh", he appeared from the pool.

Regardless of whether Harsin agrees or not, at least his girlfriend, Fina, who likes to transform into a bear, has agreed. The female druid is now in love with hot springs, especially the eight druids that Aaron promised to stay in the sacred forest. Enjoy unlimited free access to the benefits of hot springs.

Harsin himself also soaked in the healing green pool several times, and felt that the hidden wounds left on his body by years of imprisonment felt much better.

Okay, the Archdruid of the Moon compromised again.

Harsin discovered that his life was a life of compromise.

Hey, I'm such a useless guy!

The archdruid hung his head in frustration on the standing stone, criticizing his own cowardice.

Failure to protect the sacred forest, failure to protect associations, and failure to handle interpersonal relationships will lead to a life of relative failure.

My lord, Silvanus, father of the oak tree, please forgive me!

At this time, someone told him that Lord Aaron was here.

"Your Excellency is here?" Harsin quickly got up from the ground: "Where is he? Take me to see him quickly!"

The Grand Druid of the Moon met Aaron at the front desk of the hot spring sanatorium. The Viscount of the Sunset Territory, the conqueror of the Hurek Forest, was accompanied by his Black Vulture Guard Captain Maximian, the Sun Elf Arcane High Priest Barrier, and His new financial controller Arian.

"Good morning, my Mr. Harsin." Aaron smiled at the Archdruid: "Are you satisfied with the hot spring I built?"

"Uh... I'm very satisfied, Your Majesty the Viscount." Harsin forced a smile, thinking that although the result was not bad, you did not fully keep the promise between us!

Forget it, the situation is stronger than the people, and it was not made clear at the time whether the sacred forest reserve included the cave hot spring area.

Fortunately, Aaron is the chosen one of the Silver Virgin. If the pressure is too much, Halsin can at least talk to the Silver Virgin Suellen through the Father of Oak, Silvanus.

Thinking of this, the Archdruid felt much more comfortable.

It's okay, with the Silver Virgin here, His Excellency the Viscount will definitely not dare to mess around!

"I have something to ask you, Mr. Guardian." Aaron observed for a moment, and when he saw that Harsin didn't look particularly resistant, he nodded inwardly.

He has given this group of moderate druids a little chaos shock. As long as he can continue to show the corresponding magical abilities, it will not be difficult to win back their hearts.

His big future plans also require the assistance of a group of druids.

"If you have any questions, I will definitely answer them." Harsin was very cooperative: "I wonder what you want to ask?"

"There's no rush." ​​Aaron waved his hand and said with a smile, "I've asked your girlfriend, Ms. Fina, to arrange dinner and a hot spring bath for us."

"Let's talk while we eat and have a drink."

…………

At the same time, on the eve of the Midwinter Festival in the year 1362 in the valley calendar, in Sunset Town, by the Feilongshui Lake, the second phase of Salian Castle was held.

Within the huge treasure house, which is more than ten meters high, the sound of metal collision and flipping can be heard constantly.

"Mine, it's all mine! It's all mine!"

The great dragon Egil is lying on her treasure house (in her opinion, Aaron's is her own) and rolling over and over again. Her whole body is covered with a force field and her mature body appears in a one-piece black silk dress. Rubbing the remaining pile of gold coins and various treasures taken from the monastery vigorously, trying to dye all the money with his own scent, Egil, who turned into a human form, carelessly wrapped his soft body in fine black silk. Squeezing the brand-new golden lion coin just produced by the Royal Mint of Sousal under her body, she casually picked up a golden dragon coin traded from Waterdeep City, put it in the corner of her mouth and bit it gently. The satisfying touch made everyone The dragon felt the joy that originated from the deepest instinct of the dragon's soul.

"My money, my wealth, my servants~hehehehehehe~"

(sound of wiping saliva)

In the mountain of treasures, Egil kept going up and down, rolling back and forth, his hands wrapped in black stockings restlessly weaving through the pile of wealth over and over again, looking at himself having so much not long after his debut. Egil felt particularly satisfied with the money.

"Dragons crave wealth because they are essentially hamsters among large reptiles."

——Sarogenologist Alrod Duarte

"Dragons collect treasures primarily for their beauty—you can never have too much beauty, right? Besides, some of the treasures are delicious."

——Carter Danymira, an ancient female golden dragon’s reply to an anthropologist

This most primitive joy made it difficult for Egil to control himself, and the big dragon rolled around in the treasure house over and over again.

This is a huge dual satisfaction of rationality and sensibility that non-dragons cannot experience.

At the same time, the amount of wealth in the treasure house also represents the status of the dragon in their social evaluation system to a certain extent. Although for the dragons, their strength and status are more based on age, but if they can With an enviable and huge treasure house, younger dragons will also have a lot of face in front of older dragons. On the contrary, if the older dragons cannot reflect the corresponding wealth, they will be beaten by the young dragons with huge treasure houses. Dragon despised.

Egil is lucky. Since she hooked up with Aaron, the speed at which her treasure house has accumulated wealth has continued to increase. Dalonglong is therefore very confident and proud, which is also reflected in her improvement in strength.

Although Aaron sometimes uses her wealth to do some things, this is allowed in the eyes of Egil, because in the eyes of the dragon, Aaron is her property, and Aaron's subjects and castles are Her belongings, even the entire Cormyr who regards her as the "Aspect Dragon", are hers. She spends her own money on long-term investment in her own territory and her own servants. Egil can still be easily fooled by Ya Lun said it was moving.

We dragons all live long lives, so we are farsighted in the first place~

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?"

——A brass dragon said to the human friend it had a good conversation with that I will give you a surprise in 100 years.

Egil continued to tumble through the treasure house. The dragon's innate ability allowed her to quickly make a general list of the wealth under her.

At this moment, the door of the treasure house suddenly opened, and two half-dragon sisters wearing warrior robes came in from the outside, interrupting Egil's pleasant journey.

"Shui Ya, Huo Yun, what's the matter?" Egil yelled impatiently. Her gradually yellow-amber irises were as bright as gems, and the narrow black vertical pupils in her eyes were the arrogant and elegant dragon. The dragon belt has a hint of danger. The waist-length silver-white hair is elegant and wild except for the bright red highlight on the forehead. The two dark dragon horns with a slight red gradient are twisted back. Under the intimidating power of the dragon, there is a hint of charm that is alluring.

The half-dragon sisters are Dalonglong's servants carefully selected from the half-dragon team trained by the Dragon Witch Cult.

"Master." The half-dragon sisters said hesitantly: "There are a large group of royal warships docking at the dock."

"Her Royal Highness Princess Alice and Her Excellency Charlotte seem to have arrived in the Sunset Territory."

"But Lord Aaron is away, and Lady Eleanor is officiating at church services elsewhere."

"There was no one in the territory to receive them."

"Mr. Robert thought this was rude and asked us to come to you."

The half-dragon sisters quickly explained the situation in one sentence.

"Oh, he is the self-righteous guy who has undergone the blood purification ceremony and was beaten into an idiot by me with one punch or two punches." Egil immediately remembered the one-on-one duel between the two of them before. Dalonglong stood up from the pile of treasures, holding both hands He put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Ah hahahaha~ Does she want to be fucked by me again? Human memory is really short~"

"No, Mr. Robert just wants you to receive her on his behalf. He said that you can be considered the mistress of the Sunset Territory after all." The half-dragon sister calmly relayed her cousin's words.

"Mistress?" Dalonglong's eyes lit up.

Yes, mistress, of course I, Egil, am the mistress of the Sunset Territory, and Aaron is my servant. Am I not the mistress?

However, the saying on the human side seems to be that a lord's wife must be married to be a mistress in the true sense, right?

Egil thought for a while and had an idea.

The big dragon waved its claws and said with pride

"Shui Ya, Huo Yun, bring paper and pen. I want to write an invitation letter, asking all the women who have contact with the servant to go to the Sacred Forest Reserve to soak in the rose hot spring created by the servant!"

"Let us use force to decide who is the real mistress of the Sunset Territory!"

"Yes, let's do it like this. Write an invitation letter to Eleanor, Alice, Charlotte, Nestia... and that other fairy princess. I will cover all the expenses this time. La~"
