Crown of Chaos

The Moonrise Tower stands alone on the bank of the Chongsa River, shrouding the nearby area and being heavily guarded. It is full of order like a treasury of swords and guns. Both sides of the long stone road are lined with well-equipped soldiers. The general himself walks In the front, Aaron and the Harper leader Brosnan followed, followed closely by Eleanor and others.

Anomin, who has released the transformation of the Demon Prince, is experiencing his new power - the Eye of Tzeentch ray given by Aaron has mutated among the Skaven. The power of Tzeentch is not a destructive bombing, but a destructive bombing. It is more reflected in distortion, evil, and mutation.

An Nuoming really wanted to turn his father Selim VII into a chaotic egg, but his father Selim VII was very cautious. Six shifts of guards changed around the clock, leaving nothing for An Nuoming. No chance of revenge.

That's all. Anomin was already prepared to fight to the death with Selim VII.

Anyway, his purpose of becoming a demon prince is revenge.

However, while sorting out her mother's belongings during this period, Annuoming unexpectedly came across some records left by her mother.

Not only did his mother have no resentment towards Selim VII, but she always loved the great Pasha. In the view of Annomin's mother, it was her luck and her supreme honor that the great Pasha was willing to pamper her. She, a maid who was born lowly and was not even worthy of a concubine, could actually be pregnant with Selim VII's child. Doesn't this show her glory?

My mother has always loved my father.

This made Anomin feel very painful.

The legitimacy of his revenge comes from his mother, for which he can kill his three brothers without any psychological pressure and carry out righteous executions in public.

But now comes the problem: if he still plans to avenge his father, he will be violating his mother's wishes. If he does not plan to continue to avenge his father, he will lose the reason and excuse to fight.

All these things made Anuoming feel tired.

Was Selim VII really heinous?

he does not know.

Should I follow my mother's wishes and give up revenge on my father, or should I go against my mother's wishes and kill my father for my mother's death?

An Nuoming didn't know either.

Unexpectedly, the general Keserik Somu whom he met today gave Anomin a feeling very similar to the state of his father Selim VII - helpless, empty and tired. The demon prince looked ahead. General Catherick, who straightened his back as much as possible, always felt as if he saw his father's back.

The Demon Prince couldn't help but think: Could it be that the lord of the Moonrise Tower also had a rebellious son who wanted to kill his father?

How can it be! I must be overthinking it!

However, everyone could see His Excellency General's mood. Aaron took the initiative and said: "Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?" General Kesrick paused and waved his hand unnaturally: "Really, even you can see it? Holy Mother Suellen, I have lost too much during this time."

"Melotia, my wife, Isobel, my daughter, they left me one after another. Their departure was like a knife deeply piercing my heart. If I didn't still have responsibilities, body, my soul is ready to leave with them at any time." General Catheric sighed: "My Lord Suellen, why does this kind of misfortune happen to them, why can't I die in their place? ?”

After saying that, the old general seemed to remember something, and the fire ignited in his eyes again: "Sir Aaron, you are the chosen one of the Moon Girl, you must have something to convey, right?"

"I'm sorry." Aaron could feel the anger and endless emptiness in Kesrick's heart. Life and death are human nature: "I am just like you. The Salian family has respected the Moon Maiden since their ancestor Liudolph. It has been more than seven hundred years now, and I have also experienced the pain of losing my parents."

"It's so painful, so heart-wrenching, how should people fight against this kind of hatred?" Catherick nodded in agreement. Aaron's incident gave him some comfort, but the old general still said in an unhappy tone: "Why? When a person talks about his misfortune, others always like to tear open their wounds to show their misfortune so that others can get some comfort? Not only does this have no effect, but it will also deepen each other's memories of misfortune. It ended up being a bigger misfortune.”

"If this is the will of the Moon Maiden, then I would rather forget it." Catheric said the last thing, indicating that he did not want to discuss this topic anymore.

Would you rather forget? Aaron sighed. There are always many misfortunes in life. Some people like to forget, but some people keep them in their hearts throughout their lives.

The Silver Virgin, the Silver Moon Lady, and the Moon Maid are the three aspects of Sullun Mama respectively. It seems that He prefers to appear in front of him as the Silver Virgin, but Kesrick likes to call Sullun Mama the Moon Girl. Ma, it should be the face of the Moon Girl that the old general usually admires.

"Let's not talk about this." Kesrick motioned for Aaron and others to sit down: "Tell us what you know about this group of ratmen! Recently, the nearby patrol team has reported some rumors."

A document was thrown on the table: "Ratman who likes yesyes."

Second document: "The Chaos of the Leyline and Technology Powered by Green Ore."

Third document: "Rumors about Baldur's Gate, rumors in the sewers, and job postings for more sewer cleaners."

"Sir Aaron, do you know anything about the rat people?"

The old general sent all the information at hand, and in response, Aaron took the information and told Kesrik what he knew about the Skaven.

The Thom family is worthy of being a family that has believed in Selun for generations. When Aaron and Catheric were chatting, Eleanor could not help but be attracted by the decoration of the Moonrise Tower.

This is a building that is full of Suellen elements from construction to decoration, just like her Palace of Aquitaine, which made Miss Priest couldn't help but feel good about it.

Normally speaking, a defensive building like a castle is actually not a suitable place to live. It has poor lighting, is dark and humid, has a small space and lacks personal privacy, is cold in winter and hot in summer, is difficult to transport food, and is difficult to clean up human waste and debris. This makes the castle seem not very suitable for living. Most nobles often set up other manors and mansions for daily residence, and few live in the castle for a long time.

But judging from Eleanor's observations, General Catherick has indeed lived in the castle for many years.

Well, the character of this old general is already evident - whether as a father, as a general or as a believer, General Keswick is undoubtedly a model worthy of praise.

These are our followers of Su Lun!

The priestess nodded repeatedly in her heart, thinking that the Som family had respected Su Lun for generations, and she couldn't help but be full of admiration for the pious old general.

My Lord will definitely reward you!

Keswick's statement was also shocking. After listening to Aaron's description, the old general immediately decided to use 10,000 Baldur's Gate double eagle gold coins from his family wealth to help Aaron eliminate the Skaven. As payment for the danger, he declared that all the dead would receive adequate pensions, that the cost of the Harpers' assembly would come out of his treasury, and that Catheric's troops would be ready to respond to any need thereafter.

The old general sincerely entrusted Aaron to solve the problem of the Skaven rat infestation for the sake of the country, for Baldur's Gate, for the sake of the Silver Virgin Suellen and the thousands of civilians relying on his territory. The problem of rats is inevitable.

He promised that as long as Aaron was willing to help, he could transfer his family business, the Moonrise Tower Brewery, to the Salian family.

Finally, the old general said that even if he considered giving up his title, he must give everyone an explanation.

Catherick's sincerity, generosity and devout faith all moved the people present.

So loyal, so religious, so kind!

A good father to the family, a good believer in the church, and a good leader to the people.

Great, needless to say!

…………

Kessrick arranged accommodation very enthusiastically and asked the housekeeper to receive Aaron and others with the highest standards. He also agreed that as long as Aaron found any clues, he would definitely send troops to help. At the same time, regarding the dimensional stone drill recovered by the Harper Alliance, Rocket, the old general also said that he would send this strange device to the Gond dwarfs in Baldur's Gate for research.

His series of arrangements left no one with any objections.

Things went so smoothly and the lord was so enthusiastic that Aaron was too embarrassed to continue disturbing him. He followed the location given by the Harpers and went to the sewer where the warpstone drill rocket was found to investigate.

The Harpers went to take care of the funeral affairs. Eleanor and Charlotte both used a lot of power and needed to rest. After everyone dispersed, Catheric closed the door, locked the door lock, closed the window, and activated the magic circle.

The portraits of his wife Melodia and daughter Isobel on the cliff moved away, revealing the dark, lightless mirror inside.

For a moment, the old general looked dazed for a few times, as if he had returned to the good old days, but the past years were like gravel passing through his fingertips. He sighed heavily and began to pray in front of the lightless mirror.

It is better to forget than to miss.

Instead of dreaming, take action.

Instead of worshiping the incompetent Moon Girl, why not...

Close your eyes and press down with your hands.

"Dear Nightsinger, witness our reverence and see how we serve you wholeheartedly, you alone."

“We have emptied our hearts of lies, we have destroyed your enemies, and we see in the darkness the truth you pointed out.”

"Embrace us, embrace your loyal warriors, cast us in your shadow, and lead us to victory."

"Shar's will must be done! Just as night must fall!"

"This is fate!"

Catheric's powerful and devout prayers communicated with the existence from the Shadowfell Underworld. In the lightless mirror, he wore a semicircular gold-rimmed giant crown, a tight-fitting leather coat, and the clothes were covered with golden ornaments. He had perfect The Lady of the Night, with her beautiful face and purple-black skin, came in the form of a Nightsinger.

"You gave me a surprise, Catherick!"

Lady Night said to the old general expressionlessly.

"My lord! I am very honored to receive your reply!" The old general knelt down on his knees with excitement, unable to be more excited.

"You spent long and boring years, Catheric, when you chanted the name of my sister Suellen, and the only thing she could do was make you mate with a shaved lycanthrope, Every time you feel that you are standing with your Moon Maiden, you are becoming weaker and more wretched!”

"The misfortune that happens to you will only be the beginning. Your wife, your daughter, you are still learning to obey. If you don't get over the sadness of losing them for a day, you will suffer a lot. You let the situation It gets worse and you don’t even know it!”

"My Lord, in the name of the night, please guide my path!" Catheric fell to the ground with great piety, and what Shar said was true.

"This is a test for you. How you handle the relationship between Aaron and Salian, lead him to our enemy, and use his power to serve us will determine my final evaluation of you." Shar's black mist was reflected on the mirror.

"My lord, what kind of existence is Aaron? Why is he worthy of your attention?" the old general couldn't help but ask.

"...Aaron, like you, is living a lie. He has been my chosen one from the beginning. It was the shameless Su Lun who brainwashed him and made him always think that he is Su Lun's person! This lie will be shattered. One day, but not now." Nightsinger said meaningfully: "What you have to do now is to find a way to lead him to Takshi and let him go to Baldur's Gate."

"There, the power of destruction has gathered. The original demons from outside the multiverse, the fallen angels who were punished in ancient history, and the succubus queen from the bottomless abyss are forming new alliances."

Silence returned to the room.

…………

A few hours later, there was the Silver Virgin-themed room in the lord's annex near the Moonrise Tower.

Enough rest has allowed Eleanor to regain some energy. Miss Priest got up and changed into a set of clothes. She was admiring the art painting on the wall depicting the god of dawn, Lathander, and the moon girl, Suellen, working together to fight the darkness.

Before Aaron came back, the door to the room rang.

"Who is it?" Eleanor subconsciously took out the Tears of Suellen warhammer!

"It's my sister!" The lively voice of the eldest lady, Charlotte, made the priestess couldn't help but relax her vigilance. However, she soon frowned, and a deeper fear arose in her heart.

What does this strange and irrelevant warlock lady want to do with me?

"What's the matter?" Eleanor said a little coldly.

"It's my first time coming to this place, why don't we go out for a walk?" The door opened, and Charlotte pulled Eleanor's sleeve excitedly: "A friend I met at the Final Light Hotel invited me to visit his brewery. Factory!"

"What does that have to do with me?" Eleanor couldn't help but ask.

"As long as you have time, come with me!" Charlotte grabbed Eleanor, and the eldest lady's face was full of excitement: "Go and have a look, don't you want to see the advanced brewing in Baldur's Gate? Craftsmanship?"

"I……"

"Let's go, let's go. If you act like this, you won't get my sister's approval!"

"Who wants your approval?!"

"Hmph~ Don't forget, if I hadn't saved the Emperor of the East China Sea, my brother's horse would have been eaten by the rat men! As Ms. Salian, shouldn't you express your gratitude to my sister?"

"Uh..." Eleanor's holy and kind character was really unable to withstand the moral kidnapping of the eldest lady.

"Oh well."
