Crown of Chaos

PS: Sorry for being late. My feeling when I played Baldur 3 yesterday was, holy shit, it’s dark? Damn it, is it dawn?

The journey to Baldur's Gate in search of Baal's son Chanem and the original demon prince began after the snow melted in early 1364 in the Valley Calendar. Aaron divided his troops into three groups and approached Baldur's Gate from three directions.

The first route was led by his butler Arian and others. Arian himself was not even a professional. He was a polite aristocratic diplomat. Aaron arranged for Arian to work with the Silver Chamber of Commerce and others to Cormyr's official diplomatic mission set out from the Sunset Territory, carrying a large amount of silver chamber of commerce goods, disguised as Aaron and Eleanor, and others were also in this caravan. A mighty visiting group of hundreds of people marched forward in a swaggering manner, Go to Baldur's Gate.

The team includes the legendary paladin Dawnhand, the quasi-legendary Silver Star Lady, and Aaron's knight mentor Lucian. This configuration is enough to deal with most enemies.

The second path is the dark elf sister Nastia. According to Aaron's arrangement, Nastia will first go to the Underdark to discuss the mass introduction of gray dwarves with the Rose Church. In this matter, Aaron gave Nastia Ti Ya made a relatively clear bottom line for the bid, and asked her to go to Baldur's Gate to meet Samir after the negotiation, and first investigate the specific situation of Baldur's Gate.

The third path is Aaron himself. After explaining a series of things to his cousin Robert and his cousin Maximian, he handed over the territorial affairs to Buyer and Egil.

Regardless of the fact that Egil is a haha ​​dragon, in fact, the era when dragons ruled the continent was far longer than the era when humans ruled the continent. When the five founder races fell one after another, it was precisely because of the giant dragons hatched from countless dragon eggs brought by the comet impact. Dragons are so powerful that in the heyday of dragons, almost all the rulers of the country were held by dragons. After a long war with giant dragons, only the northwest of the country was left. A foot of ruins.

The knowledge in Egil's blood naturally told her how to rule, but she just didn't use it.

When boarding the Feilongshui Lake passenger ship, the fat sun elf Barrel was still telling Aaron about the history of the country: "According to the records of Everjum Island, it can be basically determined that the summons of the fey, one of the five founder races, Here come the elves, the children born from the blood of my lord Corellon - the high elves."

Barrel's fat belly dangled in front of Aaron. The sun elf wore a pair of round glasses (he was not short-sighted at all) and a heavy Evermeet Island moonflower robe, and he happily looked towards Aaron said: "The fey hoped that we elves could destroy the dragon. In fact, we did it."

"So you elves are essentially aliens, and this country is just a colony of yours. And look at all the good things you have done." Aaron climbed up the VIP ramp with Barrel with a dark face, gesturing to the big guys behind him. The young lady and the vicar follow.

The other two teammates Aaron chose were naturally the eldest lady Charlotte and the pastor lady Eleanor.

The charming and charming young lady is wearing a wax-white Cormier winter aristocratic dress with gray matte pantyhose today. She has a silver chain hanging from her simple silver short boots. Her pink hair is slightly pulled up into a princess hairstyle, and she is full of energy. , golden eyes full of joy and yearning for the outside world.

The bright and holy priestess wore a silver Santa Maria Temple Christmas dress with pure white jacquard ice and snow pattern pantyhose. Eleanor, who is more afraid of the cold, chose a pair of brown leather boots suitable for travel and has long bright golden hair. Hidden inside the cloak, the secret half-armor on his body is hidden inside the coat, and there is a sword and hammer hanging on his waist. He looks not to be trifled with.

Eleanor was also very happy that she could travel with Aaron. Although she was habitually expressionless, the corners of her mouth raised from time to time and the gentle eyes she looked at Aaron showed that she was very satisfied with Aaron's choice. .

"Aliens? Colonies? Well... that's right." Faced with Aaron's question, Barrel was quite bachelor. This sun elf mage seemed to be much more frank than other sun elves. The sun elf spread his hands. : "For you humans, we elves are indeed aliens. In the long history, we elves have taught you a lot, and we have indeed done some things that are not very good to you. For the sake of standing stones in the valley, Come on, can we not discuss this topic?”

Aaron couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

The elves' colonial conquest of the country is actually somewhat similar to the European conquest of the Americas in Aaron's previous life.

After the elves came to the country, they began to ask the local races: "Who does this planet belong to?"

At that time, the founder race had declined and the continent was in chaos. The native race who was questioned certainly answered: "I don't know who the country belongs to."

"Then it belongs to me." The elves thought.

So this group of aliens defeated all the local races and became the dominant race on the mainland.

The only one who told the elves that "the kingdom belongs to us" was the dragon family.

The elves responded by taking out the Dragon Madness Lock.

The dragon died.

So the elf officially declared himself the master of the kingdom.

"Your Excellency, I have prepared a surprise for you and the two ladies today." Seeing that Aaron had no intention of asking any more questions, Barrel said with a smile.

"Surprise?" Aaron raised his eyebrows: "I arranged the most expensive VIP cabin and gave you an extra salary of 2,000 gold coins. Now you want to give me a surprise?"

"Hehehe, it's not something expensive, but it will definitely satisfy you." Barrel pushed up his glasses: "Please look forward to it!"

"Looking forward to it!" The eldest lady raised her hands, jumped on her legs, and stepped onto the gangway.

"...Let's take a look at the room first." Eleanor was thinking about other things. She always carried a small statue of Suellen in her arms.

With this, how dare you bully me?

Miss Pastor was thinking wildly in her mind. Two blushes quickly appeared on her face. Her mind was filled with some strange pictures. However, as a pastor, her super-high perception attribute immediately made her feel that there were people in the queue to board the passenger ship. Two people were peering at them.

Eleanor immediately looked back, and she saw two drow elves with their bodies covered under cloaks and carrying musical instruments on their backs. They had gorgeous silver hair and jet black skin. They were both women.

Noticing the gaze cast by the pastor lady, the two female drow immediately lowered their figures and blended into the crowd.

"Aaron, it seems there are two female drow following us." Eleanor immediately whispered to Aaron.

"Two female drows?" Aaron also noticed after being reminded: "By the way, it seems that Tiqi did report before that there are two female drows who have been making money by singing and performing on the passenger ship."

"Drow is just drow, don't worry too much." Barrier waved his hand: "People in your country always subconsciously regard all drow as people of the Spider Queen, but let me tell you, in the multiverse , the majority of dark elves who believe in the Spider Queen are not counted, and some other dark elves of the crystal wall system have not even heard of the Spider Queen’s name.”

"I feel it. They are not drow who believe in the Spider Queen. Sir, two ladies, let's board the ship."

"The surprise I have prepared for you is in the dinner!"

"Set off!"

…………

Two hours later, in the restaurant of the large passenger ship that set sail, the four-person team that had just settled down reunited and sat down in the corner of the restaurant. As expected, as Barrier said, the two drow elves were singing in the restaurant, accepting everyone's attention. of rewards.

On the wooden table lay Barrier's surprise - a large pot of stew, still steaming.

There was a lot of unknown meat stewed in the pot, and the head of a crawling thing could be faintly seen.

"Wow, it smells so good!" The eldest lady, Charlotte, was simply curious about everything. She clasped her hands together, flicked her pink hair in the air, and sniffed the contents of the cauldron with her greedy little nose. , saliva almost flowed down: "What is this? It looks delicious!"

"Like a lizard?" Eleanor rolled her eyes at Charlotte, and Miss Priest wondered if this greedy fox could stop being so embarrassed! There are people watching nearby!

Fortunately, I had acted quickly and had a favorable position in the suite.

"Is this what you call a surprise?" Aaron frowned and looked at the cauldron, looking at the various spices in the pot, the unknown organs that were stewed into a sauce color, and coiled into a ball, and he had an ominous premonition: "Could it be..."

"I specially ordered this." Barrel pushed up his glasses proudly: "That's the one!"

"Which one?" The eldest lady's eyes flashed.

"Wait, could this be it?!" Eleanor also had a bad feeling, and the pastor took a step back.

"The baby dragon of the white dragon! A complete one! I bought it from the snow elf!" Barrel laughed and clapped his hands: "How is it? Do you like it?"

"Hey~" The eldest lady pretended to be shy, but there was no shyness on her face. Instead, she was looking forward to it. She had already grabbed the knife and fork with both hands: "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

"..." Eleanor's face was already stained with wine red. The saintly pastor lady pretended to be reserved and calm, but her slightly trembling hands and the eyes she looked at Aaron from time to time had betrayed the pastor lady. Under the table Her long boots drew slight circles along the ground, and her hands were clasped tightly on her knees. These small movements told Aaron that Eleanor was nervous.

Aaron understood.

After eating, go to the line with Miss Priest!

Aaron decided to accept Barrier's kindness. He scooped up a piece of white dragon meat cut into pieces from the cauldron and bit off half of it in one bite.

Well, very fresh and very delicious.

"Is it delicious? It's owl bear eggs, I added owl bear eggs!"

Seeing Aaron eating, Charlotte and Eleanor were not to be outdone. The eldest lady, who had been waiting for a long time, scooped up a column without caring what it was, and cut it into six finger-shaped cylinders with a knife. Take one bite at a time and chew firmly.

Eleanor was much shyer. Miss Pastor carefully picked up a piece that looked like a big eyeball, cut off a small edge, and tasted it in small bites.

Enjoying Barrier's surprise, Aaron asked what he had always doubted: "Barrel, why did you come to the country? Is it just to be the outpost of the Myth Drannor Restoration Army?"

"Outpost?" Barrel poured himself a glass of red wine and said meaningfully: "I want to be the man who crowns the king!"

Mianwang? Crowned King of Myth Drannor? Aaron looked at the confident Barrier and couldn't help but joked: "You don't have the blood of the Cormanthor royal family. The bloodline of Crown King Ilta Green has been cut off, and you are not the designated partner of Ms. Silinci." , how could you become the crowned king of Myth Drannor?"

Although the elves talk about freedom and equality all day long, the sun elves attach great importance to blood. They consider themselves to be the direct descendants of the high elves and the pure heirs of Corellon's blood, and they never look down on other elves.

Faced with Aaron's question, Barrel was noncommittal. He did not answer Aaron's question, but said naturally: "If there is another one, it is the Elf High Mage Council. If I continue to stay in Eternal Gathering, Island, you may have to wait in line for a lifetime and never have the chance to sit on the parliament in your twilight years.”

"But your astral magic gave me hope, so I came." The fat man from the sun elf held a mouth full of white dragon bones and spoke indistinctly: "The High-level Archmage Council stipulates that you must be 300 years old to qualify. I’m on the waiting list, I’m only 127 years old this year, and I don’t want to continue wasting time on Everjum Island.”

"That's it." Aaron didn't say any more. After eating a lot of surprises, he was already feeling it.

After dinner, Barrel watched Aaron and the others go back to their room. They sat in the dining room and listened to a performance before getting up and going back to their room.

Without any surprise, two female drow elves suddenly stopped Barrel.

"The Yuehua tribe members of Yongju Island, on behalf of the Dark Maiden, we hope you will introduce us..." Pipa Dark Spirit, the leader, said proactively.

"Go away, nigger." Barrel immediately put away the smile on his face. The sun elf looked at the two female drows from head to toe with his eyes, and raised his chin: "I don't need to buy goods... either. No need for slaves.”

"You!" The expressions of the two female drows changed.

"Guilty." Barrel continued: "Corellon ruled that your master was not guilty, but your master admitted that he was guilty."

Barrel opened his mouth and blocked Drow's words.

The fat man from the sun elf said with contempt: "A black cow and a white cow can make a Friesian cow together, but a nigger and Al-Tay Quesser cannot make a Friesian cow."

After saying that, Barrel motioned the two drow to go away and returned to the house alone: ​​"Go back to where you should go. For the sake of the dark girl, I will forgive your offense and remember Al-Tai-Quesser." You drow can't talk to me before I take the initiative to talk to you."

"Vanessa, what should I do?" After the sun elf entered the door, the slender female Drow with blue eyes said helplessly: "Obviously in his eyes, we are not his compatriots."

"Kafka, it seems we have no choice but to find another way." The female drow with a marimba on her body had a firm look in her eyes: "For the master's plan, no matter what the cost, we will not hesitate!"

At the same time, in a luxurious single room.

Barrel was sitting on the bed. His round-framed glasses reflected bright light, completely covering his small eyes in the reflection. Along the sun elf's body, a row of gray beads rotated rapidly.

"Who said I must be the crowned king of Myth Drannor?" The sun elf mage observed the nodes of time and space. Around him, countless destinies in the long river of light were changing and converging. He kept looking for what he wanted. the result of.

"Didn't I say that I want to be the man who crowns the king!"
