Crown of Chaos

Long before the mission began, Aaron had Nestia and Anomin prepare for battle.

Baldur's Gate is so chaotic that the Lower City is a paradise for criminals anytime and anywhere. The number of Firefist mercenaries is limited. They will only punish criminals and are not interested in street fighting and wandering on the edge of the law. completely ignore it, and may even join in it.

And Baldur's Gate is a place that stipulates "freedom of association", and everyone is ready to fall out if the negotiation fails.

In the underground hall, the skull-faced man in black robe gave the order. The Baal believers behind him immediately poured out crossbows and daggers towards Aaron and others. From time to time, the roar of magic chanting was heard. Two Baal believers immediately stood guard at the door, thinking To prevent Aaron and others from escaping.

The leading man in the black robe and skull mask screamed, and the dense, heavy air suddenly surged out. It was the smell of burning incense and burning corpses, and a low, hoarse sound like a distant tornado came from the depths of the soul. Howling wildly, all showing the desire for blood and killing.

Dark magic!

Another Baal believer tore open a scroll, and a large black mist enveloped the location of Aaron and the three of them.

An Nuoming's pupils widened, and the Demon Prince immediately reacted to the darkness around him. However, no matter how wide his pupils were, he could not see clearly the things in the darkness. He still felt as if he was in a sandstorm, blind and heavy. , the stagnant darkness oppressed him, and he could barely see clearly the blurry figure touching him.

From time to time there are faint lights and shadows flashing ahead, something is coming to kill!

"An Nuoming, transform!" Suddenly, Aaron's roar woke up the demon prince: "Do it!"

Before An Nuoming could transform, the killing power from the Chaos Demon Realm shone first in the audience. Aaron pressed his hands on his waist, and the bright red eight-column emblem was the first to shine brightly on his belt!

Bloodthirsty maniac, transform!

The power of Khorne!

The bloody light of Tyranny flashed through the entire hall, and the power of Baal and the power of Khorne collided head-on. Both sides were equally eager for blood and killing, so that at the moment of collision, everyone heard the sound barrier shattering and the hall structure A wavering voice.

Aaron, who was in the bloodthirsty state, grabbed a Baal believer into the air with his bare hands. He grinned and put his hands on the Baal believer's face. His index and middle fingers were clasped around his head, and his thumbs were dug into Baal's eye sockets. Amidst the screams of the believers, the head was shattered, and the body dedicated to the King of Slaughter was torn into two pieces from the head to the body!

It was at this moment that the power of Khorne officially overwhelmed the power of Baal, and the power of Baal, which the followers of the Lord of Killing had always worshiped, was suppressed.

Red, white, yellow, and green clumps fell, and Aaron threw the two remaining bodies aside: "Nestia, cover me."

"Giggle, you finally look like a warrior. Aaron, you haven't taken action all this time. My sister thought you had been corrupted by the aristocratic life!" Nastia giggled, followed with a sword and a dagger. Aaron rushed among the followers of Baal.

The roar of the Chaos Demon Prince filled the place like endless bells, drowning out the sight and hearing of Baal believers. Anomin walked out of the dark arts, with the black demon prince's body and huge bat wings all on display. Power from Chaos.

It is not easy to confront the demon prince head-on. The Baal believer Anomin was torn into pieces the moment he transformed. The stone floor Anomin walked on was rolling with flames, and the pink and blue fire of Tzeentch rolled in the darkness. , reaching out to the Baal believers like a devil's claw.

A beast soul exploded on the floor, lighting up the armor in the hall, and Nastia found that the height here was incredibly high - the dimension here must have been strengthened by magic, otherwise the underground of the Elf Song Tavern would never be able to accommodate such a level. Huge space.

When the sharp blade of a Baal believer touched the power of Khorne on Aaron, the overbearing power from the eight-pillar emblem rune on the skull made every Baal believer scream and wail. They were horrified to find that even the divine power of Baal in their bodies could not compete with it. In the confrontation with the demon in front of him, Aaron beheaded a Baal believer with one sword, and the blood of the King of Slaughter believers almost sprayed to the ceiling. The indescribable joy in this made Aaron feel even more uncontrollably excited. He turned the blade of the sword, He smashed half of the face of another man in black robes with one punch, grabbed his head with his hands, pulled his spine and his head out of his body, and then struck back with a sword, burning with the fire of chaos. The sword of the dark moon pierced the fear aura shield of Baal's believers, and followed the fatal rhythm from the left shoulder to the right knee, breaking two with one sword.

Through the dark magic, Aaron saw that Nestia was also fighting hard. The dark elf sister was as light as a cheetah. Her little mouth was not opened, and she was singing sword songs one after another, and the magic tattoos on her body moved along with the singing. Magic power emerged, and waves of colorful animal patterns strengthened Nestia's body. The dark elf sister whirled through the air. Under the power of the sword song, the heads of Baal believers flew up, matching her tight leather clothes and The knee-high leather boots look like a rose with thorns.

The demon prince Anomin was constantly firing at the nearby Baal believers. Strings of colorful flames of Tzeentch spewed out from the palm of one of his hands, making him look like he was standing in a volcano, slashing with the demon black sword in his hand. With one strike, the flesh and blood of Baal's followers fell apart under his serrated sword.

There was a shattering sound in his ears, and Aaron's chain of hatred was broken. The black-robed skeleton broke an arm in the explosion of Khorne's power, and retreated in pain. Khorne's curse caused Baal's followers to lose all their power, and he They wailed and signaled to retreat, but at this time, the Baal believers who had gone crazy completely lost their minds.

Bleed, bleed more! Every once in a while, if a throat is not torn out and a life is dedicated to Baal, the growing hunger will swallow up the sanity of these believers.

Anomin, who was fighting, was attacked by a bloody sickle. The fear blade of the Baal believers directly cut his throat. The Baal believers swooped down and beheaded him. The demon prince's great head flew up, and was immediately taken away from him. The black silk thread in the blood-spurting neck returned to his neck again. Annuoming calmly pushed his head straight with his hands, pulled the Baal believer out of the air, threw him to the ground, and cut him in half with a sword.

A thunderbolt mixed with the sound of sword singing, Nestia's sword dagger slashed along the throat of the Baal believer, the dark elf sister threw out the dead man in black robe, and in the air, she skillfully dodged the body of another Baal believer. In a sneak attack, the delicate and soft-bodied Dark Elf sister swung her long legs in black silk boots and hooked the visitor's neck and twisted. With a click, the Baal believer landed on the ground.

The power of Khorne exploded again. The giant ax dripped with lava from the Iron Fire Fortress and struck the shoulder of the black-robed skeleton. The bloodthirsty demon Aaron pressed the handle of the axe, and the black-robed skeleton's body was burnt black in the magma. , turned into a ball of coke like a helicopter crash.

The encounter ended since then, and none of the dozen Baal believers who came to meet him survived.

There was no loss on Aaron's side except that Anomin's head was chopped off and a few holes were left on Nastia's leather armor, revealing the mithril armor inside.

Pulling out the great ax of Khorne from the charred corpse of the black-robed skeleton, the bloodthirsty Aaron frowned and groped around on his body, and found a charred letter, two keys, and some scattered items. coins.

The charred letter contained a few brief sentences:

“For the specific information you want, please go to the Shield Knights Hall underground in the Elf Song Tavern to discuss it in detail.

This matter (a large paragraph that is difficult to read clearly)

Yours faithfully, emperor! "

Emperor? Aaron did not release the bloodthirsty demon transformation. He thought to himself, is the person these Baal believers met in private really called the Emperor?

Emperor?

Because the previous fight was too fierce, part of the letter was burned and the content was blurred. Aaron couldn't help but feel very sorry. He turned the burned letter over several times and couldn't find any more useful content. .

Looking at the two keys again, one key has a skull emblem on it, while the other key is ordinary and I don’t know what it is used for: "Sister, An Nuoming, have you discovered anything?"

"Giggle~Brother, you still don't have enough adventure experience. Who told you to use this kind of magic indiscriminately? Now it's better. You burned the most important letter!" Nastia couldn't stop laughing. The dark elf sister was the first. He took the time to put away the golden tickets brought by the Baal believers and look for other useful things on the Baal believers: "And you, Anoming, you are also a fool. Don't use fire magic indiscriminately in such a narrow terrain. Didn’t Aaron teach you?”

Annuoming, who was in the Demon Prince state, roared angrily. He didn't have much reason at this time and only relied on instinct to do things.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are 25 tickets in total, 25,000 gold coins. These Baal believers are really rich, but I don't know what they want to buy." Nastia clicked on the golden tickets, and the dark elf sister collected the golden tickets for Aaron. Good: "It seems there was an accident, brother. What we want to see is Madam Bode Zonggui Julia, and what the Baal believers want to see is the Emperor. We all brought money to prepare for the transaction... Could it be that the Baal believers also want to buy Bodean’s chart?”

Before he finished speaking, a portal opened on the side of the underground hall of the Knights of the Shield: "The answer is wrong. Madam Madam of the Banre family, what the Baal believers want to buy is other information."

A beautiful elf lady with brown hair and white skin stepped out of the portal. She had an appearance very similar to that of Nestia. She was about 1.7 meters tall. She was wearing a white-gold half-plate armor and a symbol of Bode Zonggui. The gold-red lining has two strips of mink hanging on the outside. The zipper on the back of a pair of over-the-knee high-heeled boots shines like ribbons on a Christmas tree. Her slightly curly brown hair is tied into a ponytail tied in front of her. , high nose bridge, big eyes, delicate face without any flaws.

"Welcome to the hall of the Knights of the Shield. Distinguished guests, you have shown with your performance that you are more worthy of cooperation. So, tell me, guests, what is the purpose of getting Bodean's chart?" The elf lady supported her waist with one hand and stood condescendingly on the high platform, seemingly unaware of the corpses and the smell of blood in the entire hall.

"Are you Lady Julia?" Aaron looked at the noble lady on the high platform calmly: "Or are you the Emperor? Are you deliberately letting us fight to test our strength?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is, my distinguished guest, you want to get the Bodean chart, for what purpose?" The elf lady always maintained a commercial smile: "Don't you want to get the chart? What if? If you don’t want to, just keep answering questions with questions.”

"You are not Mrs. Julia. No family in the Bode clan is of elf blood. There is only one dwarf family in the entire Bode clan. The rest are all humans... Then you must be the one mentioned among the Baal followers. That 'emperor'." Bloodthirsty Aaron raised his head: "Interesting, this is the first time I heard that there is a similar mastermind behind Baldur's Gate who likes to call himself by the codename 'Emperor'. We all know that. , Baldur's Gate has been a parliamentary system since its establishment. Unless the founder Baldur returns like lightning, the Parliament will not recognize a so-called 'Emperor' of Baldur's Gate."

"It seems that you know the history of Baldur's Gate very well." Mrs. Elf continued to support her: "Mrs. Julia is my partner. If you are willing, you can also be my partner. I have to say, you We have found the right person. In the entire Baldur's Gate, we are the only ones who have Baldur's chart in our hands. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can consider giving you the chart."

"Then here's the question, stranger, or His Excellency Viscount Cormyr, the Elf Princess' Flower Knight Aaron Salian, what is the purpose of wanting Bodean's sea chart?" The elf lady asked again. this problem.

"Faced with this kind of death trap, there is nothing to talk about between us." Aaron pointed to the bodies of Baal believers on the ground: "Do it!"

The demon prince jumped up, spread his wings, Nestia's sword song resounded, and the light was as cold as ice.

The moment they fell out, time became so slow, so slow that it was painful. The elf lady obviously didn't expect Aaron's face to change so quickly. She just showed a surprised expression on her face, and Nestia and Anomin were already there. Killed to her side.

Anuoming has never been a cold-blooded killer like Baal's followers, but he is equally strong and agile with the blessing of the power of chaos. He only needs a chance to get close, and he is confident to take down the weak lady in front of him in one fell swoop!

The flying Anomin was obviously faster than Nestia. He had already approached the noble lady, standing up, thrusting, and his claws were like lightning.

However, the lady reacted as fast as lightning. She turned her body around with incredible speed in preparing spells and raised her palms.

The purple force field beam knocked a demon prince directly to the ground, and he fell heavily into the pile of books, setting off countless smoke and dust. An Nuoming's eyes exploded from the blow, and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose. The chest that was hit by the beam was directly shattered into a big pit!

After solving Anomin, the noble lady took action again. She tore open the space with her bare hands and created a gravitational point in the air. The sudden black hole forced Nastia to give up her advance and retreat, and the sword song sounded again.

This time the Sword Song magic did not work. The noble lady shot a laser from her body, forcibly interrupting Nestia's spellcasting. As soon as the dark elf sister landed, the noble lady said: "Just stay there."

The human body-holding technique was used, and Nastia's body was enveloped in purple light, and the dark elf sister's angry expression stayed on her face.

The giant ax fell to the ground, and the bloodthirsty demon Aaron realized that what he had struck was just a phantom. The elf lady rushed forward suddenly, and the shock wave of the force field caused several pieces of gravel to fall from the top of the underground hall. The two sides were in the air. After several rounds of confrontation, sparks flew everywhere!

Much beyond Aaron's expectation, the elf lady in front of him actually managed to survive the close combat with the bloodthirsty maniac. The force field energy in her hands was as skillful as a freely rotating Rubik's cube. Even the bloodthirsty maniac was able to Even the demonic transformation cannot suppress the other party.

There's no way to capture her alive!

Fortunately, Aaron still has a weapon.

Holding his waist with one hand, the Keeper of Secrets transformed and replaced the bloodthirsty demon. The power of Slaanesh was activated. His charming eyes opened and locked onto the soul of the Elf lady.

Slaanesh’s super magical powers, the face of Slaanesh!

The face of the Prince of Joy emerged from the void. He opened his mouth and spit out six nine-section whips covered with spikes, preparing to severely punish the soul of the elf lady.

However, Slaanesh's nine-section whip hit nothing. The spiritual world of the elven lady was empty and nothing existed. Slaanesh's power did not find a trace of the existence of the soul after touching the elven lady. .

The "Emperor" has no soul.

The noblewoman's counterattack came extremely quickly. The sharp force field blade pierced the Tzeentch divine spark shield, pierced Aaron's shoulder armor, and almost cut off his arm.

The pain made Aaron, the Keeper of Secrets, even more powerful. His brain suddenly remembered something, and he quickly retreated to avoid the lady's mind explosion. He covered his injured shoulder with his hand: "Are you... a mind flayer?!"

"I'm glad you can recognize my true nature, stranger." The elf lady slowly removed her disguise.

Over two meters tall, with long octopus tentacles twisting, the perfect mind flayer with purple-red skin is suspended in the air with his hands behind his back. His small purple eyes are solemn and elegant: "I took reference from the image you like in the rumors... Facts Proving that the information in my hand is incomplete, this appearance does not seem to attract you, Lord Aaron of Cormyr."

"Re-introducing myself, my name is 'emperor', but in the mind flayer language I should not be called emperor, monarch. It is the name given to me by the mastermind." The perfect mind flayer 'Emperor' elegantly moved towards Aaron Salute: "Nice to meet you. I repeat, I think there is no point in fighting between us."

"You, from Cormyr, want to get Bodean's chart, and I want to get your help."

"We need each other, a lot."
