Crown of Chaos

The location where Aaron and others arrived was Zamora on the 47th level of the abyss, which belongs to Graz'zt's domain, the deepest level of Graz'zt's three-level realm. Judging from its appearance alone, Zamora is different from the Baldur in the outside world. The door was almost indistinguishable, and even Aaron saw many humans and elves here.

What is confusing is that the demons walk in the abyss very naturally. They are loading and unloading goods naturally on the dock of the Styx. Not far away, a bull demon is swinging a whip and shouting at the workers to move quickly. Point, the timid demon had to speed up when he was panting. The kobolds and jackals were the meanest, and there were two dock workers who had fainted from exhaustion piled next to them, hanging on ropes.

This doesn't seem to be any different from Baldur's Gate.

Caravans from all planes of the multiverse are entering and leaving the abyss, selling their inventory, while the dock patrol army from Six Fingers is closely watching every passenger ship docked at the dock.

"Where is this? Are we, are we really in the abyss?" Asdalen scratched his head aggrievedly and helplessly, looking at the environment along the kilometer pier line with confusion.

"That's right, this is Azgrat." Samir nodded repeatedly: "Liu Zhi still likes to do business."

"It is because Liu Zhi likes to do business that Ms. Fortune has the opportunity to sign a contract with Liu Zhi. It is also because Liu Zhi likes to do business that my people can penetrate into Liu Zhi's field." Bald singer Morgan said unnaturally. His eyes had noticed the visitor in the distance, so he signaled to be silent.

Boom~boom~boom~boom!

A towering figure strode across the cursed ground, shaking the earth with every step it took. Its overly long arms are as thick as tree trunks, and it has a leering, demonic bison head with huge horns that extend forward. When it gets close, it gets on all fours, lumbering forward on its knuckles like a house-sized gorilla.

The giant bull demon, a legendary creature of the abyss, a living siege beast, serves as the guard of the abyss lords or the darling of the general!

"mark?"

The giant bull demon asked in a rough tone in a substandard Abyssal language. Its scarlet eyes unabashedly revealed its strong desire for destruction and killing.

Morgan looked cautious, and he took out the trade certificate granted by Graz'zt to the multiverse - a mark imprinted with the six-fingerprint path.

The giant bull demon roared in annoyance. It checked several times over and over again, but could not find the problem. It could only express welcome with a cold voice, and then warned Morgan and others not to evade taxes, otherwise they would be crushed into meat pies.

Because Graz'zt loves doing business so much, there are some basic rules in Azgra'zt.

The first hurdle into the abyss has been passed.

At this time, Aaron was still indulging in the sweetness brought to him by the bottomless abyss.

Aaron had imagined what the bottomless abyss looked like, and had heard descriptions of the six-finger realm from Morgan and the ogre guide Xinlan. But when he actually entered the abyss, he understood why the bottomless abyss was It is the source of chaos.

So cozy and sweet!

For mortals, when the toxic air enters Aaron's mouth and nose, all he can feel is the sweet smell like condensed milk. The chaotic and filthy abyss energy in the air can pollute the caster's mind, but when Aaron steps onto the abyss The land, every bit of energy here is like welcoming a wanderer returning home. It warmly embraces Aaron, opens its arms to him, and welcomes his return.

Welcome home, Aaron!

Welcome back, Children of the Abyss! Welcome home, our treasure!

The six-fingered realm of corruption, evil, distortion and chaos was only familiar to Aaron. He felt more relaxed than ever before. Compared to the stagnant and slow magic elements in hell, the chaotic energy in the abyss was not only waiting for Aaron's orders, And he also expected Aaron to do something quickly.

"Your Excellency, please give me an order!" In Aaron's ears, a faint whisper came from the abyss.

"loyalty!"

This time I am going home, this time I am really going home.

Aaron hummed a tune happily.

The clouds from my hometown float across the sky~ They keep calling me~

When the breeze of the abyss blows gently, there is a voice calling to me~

Come back~ come back~ wandering wanderer~

Come back~ Come back~ Stop wandering around~

It really feels like home.

At this moment, bursts of noise from the front suddenly interrupted Aaron's happiness.

All the workers and many demons on the dock were immediately attracted to the scene, and they were grinning and wanted to watch the fun.

Things soon became clear. A young halfling thief was caught stealing on the docks. The demon guards cut off his thumb and little finger on the spot, and then beat him with joy. The halfling thief was beaten. The whole body was covered in blood and the scene was horrific. This guy kept shouting "Mom~Mom~".

His words did not arouse any sympathy from the people around him. On the contrary, seeing some people being punished and others being unlucky, everyone's faces were filled with joy and malice.

Ogre Xinlan muttered: "Don't worry, don't ask, don't touch, let's go, let's go. In Zamora, the only rule is not to affect Liuzhi's business. This is a thief! Every day in Zamora, there are people Stealing!”

Compared with other areas of the Abyss, the area of ​​Six Fingers is slightly more orderly, because Six Fingers likes trade, and all security, theft, and fighting behaviors that may affect trade are strictly prohibited.

But the rules of the abyss are still chaotic and evil in nature. Theft occurs every day in the prosperous Zamora. The residents of the abyss believe that as long as I am not discovered, it does not count as stealing. As long as I can destroy people's corpses and eliminate traces of them, Even killing the witnesses and the guards who arrived was not considered theft.

What is stealing if there is no owner? This is called picking up.

Don't steal, don't steal, I found it~

Correspondingly, if the owner catches the thief, they can also deal with it themselves. No matter what they do, it is considered acceptable, not to mention cutting off fingers, even cutting off arms, limbs, and heads. People have opinions, because the abyss is like this, but the residents here generally don't do this, because there is no profit in killing a thief, but beating him up, punishing him and then selling him to the slave market can get some money back. capital.

Graz'zt thought the same way, so Six Fingers didn't like his people executing prisoners at will. If they were discovered by the guards, they would have to pay an additional fine.

"You little bastard! You are lucky today." The half-drow merchant who was stolen from was kicked hard. He found that the guards had arrived, so he took his money bag back from the little halfling and asked directly : "Who wants this little halfling? Deal for 12 gold coins!"

"It hurts~ it hurts~" The little halfling lost two fingers and the bleeding was not stopping. He just murmured on the ground: "Mom~Mom~"

The demons and mortal workers around just looked on with smiles and made noises. Some people said that this little bastard had two fingers missing and could not even be a worker. Is 12 gold coins too expensive?

"Ten, how about ten?" the half-drow merchant then shouted.

"Mom~" The little halfling was still struggling.

"I want it!" At this moment, Anomin suddenly spoke, and the son of the pasha counted ten Calimshan gold coins from his body: "I bought it!"

An Nuoming is usually taciturn, but his sudden and inexplicable speech surprised Morgan and Xinlan.

"Calimshan, what are you doing?!" The big devil immediately walked quickly to Annuo Min and grabbed his collar: "This is an abyss, you are here to do business! You are not here to show mercy! "

"This matter has nothing to do with you." An Nuoming coldly shook off Morgan's claws. He looked at the little halfling lying in a pool of blood, the expression on his face changed, and he pleaded towards Aaron: "I saw him This look reminds me of my previous situation. Maybe... a child who has experienced life and death will become a great hero. Mr. Aaron, do you think you can be accommodating?"

Aaron glanced at the thief lying in a pool of blood, and then at Annuoming. He said meaningfully: "This is the abyss, Annuoming."

"I know this is an abyss, but... I can also understand his language, Your Excellency!" An Nuoming begged again.

"Oh well."

In this way, Anomin paid the money and took the little halfling with him, and the group entered the city of the abyss, the trading place of Six Fingers, Zamora.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, the melon-eating devils and workers on the dock dispersed in a hurry. There was no excitement anymore, and the work had to continue. No one sympathized with the thief. Instead, they laughed at Aaron and others. Idiot, you would pay so much for a slave that has lost its fingers.

For 10 gold coins, you can go to the slave market and choose the best halfling. Not only will he have all the fingers, but he will even have a cage as a gift!

Aaron heard all these discussions, and his heart moved slightly, but he didn't react much.

The environment of the Abyss really suits him. With the blessing of Slaanesh and the embrace of the will of the Abyss, Aaron can automatically get huge bonuses when dealing with any demons or residents of the Abyss. With his current Judging from the attributes that have gone a long way in Charisma, it can be said that it is an immediate success by default.

The residents of the abyss also found that Aaron was particularly pleasing to the eye, and they also had an instinctive fear of higher-level people. Many guys who wanted to cause trouble hesitated for a few times, but in the end did not come forward.

Seeing that Aaron had no objection, Morgan could only curse secretly that he was in a bad state now, while the ogre guide Xinlan had a dark face and rethought his work.

Buy it, it’s expensive.

Annuo Ming bandaged the little halfling carefully, and from the little halfling's mouth, he learned that he was called "Brie".

Zamora is not so much a city as it is a giant maze. The streets here are crowded and narrow, the directions are messy and there is a lack of signage, and Six Fingers seems to deliberately make guests lose their way. There are few crossroads in the city. Most of the intersections are T-junctions or even one-way streets. This design makes it difficult for visitors to block the road, but it takes double the time for visitors to repeatedly shuttle through the streets.

In this way, Six Fingers forces guests to spend a lot of time in his domain. As time goes by, the power of the abyss will gradually penetrate into the body and soul of the visitors, and the weak-willed will gradually succumb to the abyss. influence and "voluntarily" stayed in Azgrat.

Fortunately, the ogre Xinlan was an old guide, and Aaron and his party were able to enter the city normally.

There were noisy sounds everywhere in the narrow streets. During the day, there were wandering warblers standing on the street soliciting customers. Sometimes they would just go into the alley and start selling meat. Aaron also saw a black Piedadro, specially dressed in leather clothes. He looked like a ranger, with a sign erected behind him: "You can pretend to be Drizzt Do'Urden. You need to pay an additional 5 gold coins. You can do it from the front or from the back. If you want to enjoy it, you can press Drizzt under you and explode. Do you feel like fuck? It’s better to act than to move your heart. Don’t miss it when you pass by!”

"Hahahaha~" Nastia laughed when she saw this scene and bent over: "I really should let Drizzt see it! There are many of his patrons in the abyss~kekeke~"

"Do you want to taste his ice death sharpness?" Aaron also twitched his lips, but he and Nastia had different views. What he thought of was that Cui Heizi was really famous, and even the bottomless Are everyone so famous in the abyss?

I'm so envious. I also want to be like Cui Heizi and let my name be praised in Baator Hell and the Abyss.

What we need to do now is... hmm?

There was a strange smell in the chaotic and twisted air of the abyss. Unknowingly, Aaron and others had entered a very narrow alley. The dim blue sunlight was almost invisible here, and when Aaron was alert When the ground raised his head, a dozen (12) demons were already standing on the roofs of the surrounding houses.

The two headed demons appear to be strong orangutans, but the burning cruelty in its cold red eyes shows its advanced intelligence filled with hatred. Its face is disproportionately dominated by a pair of overly long teeth protruding from its jaws. Its skin was rusty red and covered in dirt.

Ape demon! Challenge the elite tanar'ri demon!

The ten demons following the two ape demons also showed their fangs.

This demon is tall and muscular, with a long head, bat-like horns and ears, and looks a bit like a gargoyle.

Its fangs are extremely long and protrude from its mouth disproportionately to its head, and its eyes emit a malicious yellow light. Its long fingers ended in equally slender claws, and scales covered its wings and skin. Tufts of black hair littered its shoulders. The demon's back and limbs were as black as ink, while its chest and abdomen were pale dark gray.

The visitor was unkind, so Aaron and others stopped.

"Ape demon, soul snatcher demon?" The ogre guide Xinlan immediately recognized the enemy. He shook his head repeatedly and retreated slowly and calmly.

Is there an ambush?

Aaron immediately grasped the hilt of the Dark Moon Sword. Meeting the enemy in the abyss not only did not trouble Aaron, but made him extremely excited!

The abyss craves chaos, the abyss encourages murder!

Anomin almost subconsciously protected the little halfling Bree behind him. The demon prince realized that he might face a battle next. Bree was obviously not good at fighting...

But he didn't protect anything. In the corner of his eye, he saw Bree holding the money bag on his body, jumping up to the roof with two steps and staying with the demons.

"Brie?" Anuoming's pupils dilated.

"Why is this so?" The little halfling checked Anomin's purse with disappointment: "Since you came to Zamora to do business, wouldn't you bring more money?"

"You stole my money?!" An Nuoming reacted quickly, and the demon prince immediately realized more: "You called these demons? Why, I obviously saved you!"

"You, save me? What is 'rescue'?" A confused expression appeared on the little halfling's face: "You are obviously restricting my freedom. No one can restrict my freedom. Since you are here in Samo A businessman must have a lot of money and goods with him, right? Tuhe, Fido, according to the price, I brought you the people, and I will share the goods 15%."

"I saved you because you were calling mommy!" An Nuoming's eyes were already red. He clenched his teeth and looked at the little halfling with hopeful eyes: "You were calling mommy. Why were you calling mommy?"

"Mom?" The little halfling tilted his head: "This is an abyss. Every resident here has no mother, and I don't have a mother. Isn't this normal? Since there is no mother, it should be something valuable, right? I Just shouting."

At this point, Brie was still confused: "But, you chose to buy me. Why? I don't quite understand."

The little halfling looked at the angry Anomin, as if he was admiring the goods in the slave market: "Forget it, it doesn't matter."

"You bought me and you are my master. I don't want to be a slave. I must kill you. As long as the master dies, I will no longer be a slave."
