Crown of Chaos

PS: Sean Dota, best Dota, congratulations to LGD.Hotdog and AR.Honkai Star Railroad for entering the TI winner group semi-finals!

"We're going to get rich!"

"Deng Deng~ Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng~"

Having completely completed their mission in the upper reaches of the Chongsa River, the four of Eboud, Aimon, Jahila and Kalid are preparing to return to the Guichen Monastery where they were entrusted. The Lathander Temple located in the upper reaches of the Chongsa River has been It became one of the fortresses against the Skaven. There, the Dawn Lord Rockefeller issued a task to Chanem and others to destroy the Skaven's Wheel of Destruction. This task not only paid 500 gold coins, but also There is a reward of a pair of extraordinary gloves.

Eboud longs for war, not only because war allows him to vent his desire to kill, but also because it allows him to obtain many rewards. Although it is the first time he has left Candlekeep for activities, Eboud has realized that war can give him Bringing more rewards and opportunities to himself, to a certain extent, this is exactly what he needs.

"We are lucky. After this mission is completed, we should be able to collect enough money." Khalid probably didn't realize what he might encounter last night. Seeing that the mission went well, the Harpers warrior He said proactively: "What do you think? Jaheira?"

"Oh, please, Khalid, how many times do you need me to repeat this?" The beautiful wife Jahira frowned habitually: "We are not here because of wealth. After completing this mission, our real battle will be in Baldur. The door opens.”

After saying that, she heard the sound of Imoen jumping under a big tree: "What's wrong, our little girl?"

No one dislikes Imoen, she is simply the joy of the trip!

Imoen climbed up the tree quickly, and the girl dexterously picked out a shining diamond from the bird's nest in the tree. The crystal clear reflection of the diamond in the girl's hand could be seen from ten meters away.

diamond! Luxury goods for nobles, playthings for dwarves, precious spellcasting materials for mages, and hard currency in this chaotic year.

"You are really our lucky star." Jaheira's eyes were immediately attracted by the diamond, and she couldn't help but praise Imoen's eyes: "Your eyes are comparable to the eagle on the highest ice field, my dear!"

"Hehehe~" Aimeng accepted Jaheira's compliment proudly. The girl was an optimist.

diamond! When Khalid saw that Jahira liked diamonds so much, he immediately showed a look of depression and uneasiness on his face. His wedding ceremony with Jahira was held on a carriage surrounded by water, and the wedding rings were very cheap. ruby.

diamond! Eboud's face showed excitement. He thought that this would be easy. I must get the most beautiful and largest diamond in the country and present it to Jaheira!

The serendipity of the journey reached its peak while passing by the Coast Drive.

Just near the avenue, an old mage with white hair and beard, wearing a red robe and holding a pipe suddenly appeared: "Hey, travelers, please allow me to say a few words."

"Elminster!!!" Jaheira and Khalid both said in surprise.

The visitor was none other than Elminster, the great sage of the Valley of Shadows, and Jaheira and Khalid exchanged information with Elminster.

The situation in the Sword Coast is very bad. According to Elminster, he traveled all the way from the wild and saw no one for several days.

It's not that Elminster only walked through the wilderness, but that he followed the road, and all the villages that should have appeared around him disappeared.

There were no traces of massacres or battles, but they had literally disappeared from the map. Whether it was buildings, living people or farmland for livestock, they had completely disappeared, leaving only open space in the original place.

Obviously this is another work of the Skaven.

"You must go to Baldur's Gate to stop the Skaven conspiracy, my friend." Elminster smoked his pipe unhurriedly: "The danger of the Skaven has far exceeded what you can As far as we can imagine, they are not only threatening the safety of the Sword Coast, but also threatening the entire country, gods, magic network, and even the structure of the entire Great Wheel Universe itself."

"This is the purpose of this old man coming here, my friend Jahira Khalid." Elminster exchanged a few words with his old friend, and then very suddenly turned his attention to Eboud Adrian. .

"Young man, I have noticed that you are in a desperate or chaotic dilemma. If you don't mind my interruption, can I ask what kind of difficulty you are facing?"

Eboud always felt that although Elminster's tone was neither urgent nor slow, there was a faint sense of oppression in his tone, and his semi-archaic words also made Eboud sound uncomfortable. He knew Elminster, or in other words, there were few people in the country who did not know this great sage.

"It's not good. I had a strange dream last night. There was a shining golden person talking to me..." Eboud thought that the meeting with the Lord of Humanity last night was a dream. Fortunately, the son of murder was not stupid enough to kill himself. He wanted to kill Khalid and discuss the fight for Jaheira with the Lord of Mankind.

"Your answer, I am very surprised." Elminster found that the exchange between the emperor and Eboud was so difficult and laborious: "With open arms, I am quite sympathetic to your difficulties at this time, but I need Make sure some things...Oh, I already know what you said. Sorry for bothering you, I will leave. I wish you and your companions all the best."

After saying that, Elminster planned to leave.

"Wait! Great Sage, won't you go with us to Baldur's Gate to fight against the Skaven?" Ebde stopped Elminster. The Son of Slaughter didn't understand: "You are so powerful, with you With the addition of the Skaven, why are we afraid of the Skaven?"

"Your opinion is very interesting, but it is a pity that the goddess Mystra's duty lies with the old man." Elminster said with interest: "Different travelers have different paths of their own."

Compared with the Horned Rat God, what is more troublesome now is that the lord of mankind - the goddess Saint Mystra cannot tolerate his autistic and extremely racist heresies. Elminster thought with a headache, that human being in the multiverse God is annoying enough.

"Then why doesn't Goddess Saint Mystra come on stage in person? With the magic net, she can definitely destroy any enemy she wants, including gods!" Eboud continued.

"Profanity!" Elminster gave Eboud a deep look: "I forgive you for being vulgar and rude, because there is something that obscures your eyes. This is what I said, and I hope you can take good care of yourself. to complete this journey.”

Elminster left, and Imoen walked to Eboud with his hands behind his back. The girl asked curiously: "Does the great sage of Shadow Valley always talk like this? It's half-understandable." "

"Yes, the only thing we can be sure of is that Elminster is not a bad person." Jahira walked to Imon, and she took a deep look at Eboud: "Otherwise, with his strength, he wants to take your Life is just a matter of effort, Eboud, you must learn to respect others."

"But he is obviously so strong and capable, why doesn't he help us directly? And the goddess Mystra, can't she do the same? Why are these gods and these chosen people so strange? Why can they look at mortals? Die because of their plan?" Eboud still didn't understand.

"Elminster always has his own reasons, just like the gods always have their own ideas." Jaheira looked at the place where Elminster disappeared: "After the turbulent years, we all know that God The high god AO hates the excessive interference of gods in mortal affairs. Anything the gods participate in can easily affect the stability and balance of the country. Their power will make things worse. He must have his reasons for not doing so. .”

"Elminster has saved countless countries and mortals. You should not talk to him like this, Eboud." Khalid also disapproved of Eboud's attitude.

"Let's go to the monastery to hand in the commission, and then go to Baldur's Gate."

…………

At the same time, at the end of May 1364 in the valley calendar, Shangcheng District.

After the influx of waves of refugees, Baldur's Gate has become more crowded. The city council has increased the military budget again and again. Grand Duke Tucker is organizing a huge army at a slow but determined speed to prepare for the war. A decisive battle with the Skaven.

The number of Iron Warriors in the city also exceeds a thousand.

The problems caused by the forced concession of all activities in the trading city to the military have made the city feel pain from top to bottom. However, just the rat infestation in the sewers makes the citizens miserable.

Few people have noticed the rise of Mrs. Julia, who was originally considered a simple aristocratic woman who was only responsible for looking good. But with the death of her husband, Julie Mrs. Ya first demonstrated her business and diplomatic abilities, and during this period, she suddenly showed to the outside world that she was an excellent master professional, which was really shocking.

It turns out that Mrs. Julia is hiding so deeply!

With business ability, internal affairs ability and strength, Lady Julia soon became a new member of the Bode family. There are rumors that she may replace the death of Duchess Lila, one of the four dukes.

Today, Mrs. Julia's mansion in Uptown welcomed two familiar guests.

The great dragon Egil and the fairy princess Buyel!

"Welcome, very, very, very welcome, both of you!" The owner of Julia's mansion, the dark elf sister Nestia, who has completely replaced Mrs. Julia's identity, opened her arms to welcome the champion and the winner of the hot spring bath Shura field brawl. The runner-up arrives.

As for Lady Julia herself? Unfortunately, Nestia stood not far behind her, wearing a short black and white lace maid dress, a pure white silk scarf on her head, and a pair of ultra-thin white pantyhose wrapped around her long and round legs. Coupled with a pair of black pointed-toe high-heeled shoes with red soles, the gorgeous young maid named "Jingxiang" is the real Lady Julia.

Unfortunately, she was ruthlessly deprived of her own name by Nestia.

Luckily, at least she wasn't used up and thrown away.

"Hey, it's such a small mansion, how can we live in it~" Egil, the great dragon, casually kicked off his black high-heeled boots and stepped directly into the room, with a touch of bright red in his beautiful long hair like the Milky Way. The highlight on his forehead looks charming and domineering. Dalonglong put his hands on his waist and showed off his broad bust unceremoniously: "I am a giant dragon! There is no one ten thousand meters wide around me. How can I turn over?"

"Hello, Sister Nestia." Elf Princess Buyer was much more elegant. She lifted the hem of her bud dress and showed an impeccable courtesy in the air: "Gui'an, how are you doing? You deserve it. Knowing you needed our help, we came immediately."

"Aha, I heard that the servant went to sea? You didn't call me, I am the majestic Egil, the giant beast of the abyss!" Dalonglong raised his head high, put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Tell me, my servant this time How much did he make at Baldur's Gate? As his partner, I should have half of it!"

"And, I feel it~ My servant, he has finally been promoted to a legend! Hahahahaha~ Human beings who have been promoted to a legend are finally qualified to be on par with me!" The great dragon Egil stretched out his hand, gesturing that he had gone from Asia to a legend. The power she shared with Lun appeared in the center of her palm, which was wrapped in a one-piece black silk garment. The golden law ring belonging to Aaron appeared.

"Buyer has also felt Mr. Knight's progress!" The fairy princess nodded repeatedly. Unlike Dalonglong's arrogant mental state, Buyer's body exuded a kind of primitive goodwill, which made people feel like spring breeze: " Buyer is really happy to be able to help Mr. Knight and you all!"

She's so kind, she's so cute, she's so charming.

Everyone in the room, including Nastia and the maid Kyoka who was serving behind her, couldn't help but think about it.

Nestia entertained Egil and Buyer to sit down in the reception room and asked about various preparations.

Aaron left behind a series of plans in order to deal with the Horned Rat, Billak, and Chanem, the son of Baal, and the great dragon Egil and the fairy princess Buyel came precisely for Aaron's plan.

"The Grand Duke of Takshi is about to launch a surprise attack against the Skaven." Nestia shared the secret plan that she had obtained from the city council as Bode Zonggui to Egil and Buyer: " On the other hand, my intelligence network here learned that the Skaven are making a vital artifact - the Calamity Bell."

"The Skaven plan to ring the Calamity Bell in the sewers of Baldur's Gate. It is said that as long as thirteen bells ring, their god, the Horned Rat God, will appear."

Nastia assigned tasks.

Egil's mission is to help defend the city. According to the secrets that Nastia learned from the Hall of the Supreme Lord, there seems to be an ancient guardian dragon underground at Baldur's Gate. This dragon once promised to be at Baldur's Gate. Come out and save the city when needed.

It would save Baldur's Gate once, and only once.

And Nestia's plan is to use Egil to create an illusion - the guardian dragon of Baldur's Gate has been summoned, and what is coming is the legendary power dragon Egil!

"Okay! No matter it's a rat or a demon prince or a big devil, watch me use my claws, tail, my dragon's breath and the power borrowed from my servants to knock all the enemies away!" Egil was very confident. Laughing wildly.

"As for Buyer, your mission is to the sewers. The Skaven are likely to transport the Calamity Bell into the sewers. We will need your power then." Nastia continued.

"Buyer will work hard!" The fairy princess faced a real test for the first time. Buyer looked a little nervous: "Well... although I have learned a lot from sister Isa, but facing a real battle, Maybe I'm still a little bad at it... You may have heard that gods rely on widespread belief to gain strength, but I am not as beloved as sister Isa or that kind old father. If we really need to fight, maybe we I still need to ask my father, mother, or Laosanda Santiago for help!"

Hearing Buyer say that he was "not good at fighting", Egil and Nestia rolled their eyes without any trace.

"So, Sister Nestia, where will the rat-man's big clock be placed in the sewer? I'd better make preparations in advance." Buyer blinked his big green eyes, and his petite and cute face was slightly red. , so cute and maternal.

"We'll find out soon enough."

Nestia let Egil and Buyer move freely first. She packed her things and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, Nestia called her maid Jingxiang in front of her: "Have you remembered everything I told you during this time? Mrs. Raymond?"

"I remember, Master." Jingxiang lowered her head in tears. She was deprived of her name, her property was taken away, and she was reduced to a slave. She knew she was incompetent, but she didn't know why things turned out like this.

"Just remember." Nestia looked at this woman who had never been able to control her own destiny. A trace of self-mockery and sympathy flashed in her eyes: "I want to go out. You change into my clothes. Just do as I told you in advance."

"yes."

After all, you may have to be by Aaron's side instead of me in the future.

Nastia and Kyoka changed their identities, went out, and took one last look at the glorious Baldur's Gate.

The Spider Queen is calling her!

Something big has happened!
