Crown of Chaos

Chapter 532, The goddess’s gift and dowry

What a joke.

Although Eilistraee was melancholy and sad, and was wandering about the issue of the drow, she still had the pride and strength of being an elven god. When Aaron said these words, Eilistraee Feeling offended.

just you? Do you also want to be my main god?

There was a trace of displeasure in her innocent eyes, and her body language changed from the excitement before to caution: "This request allows me to consider it. I don't want to become a follower of God, especially a follower of a divine creature. god."

"I didn't say that you will become my follower now, I said that after I become a god in the future, you will become my follower." Aaron also put away his kind expression.

Eilistraee said nothing, but the dark girl's body language undoubtedly showed a considerable degree of resistance.

With a sneer, Aaron held out three fingers: "First, for your plan, I must lead my shogunate army to personally conquer the Dark Territory, and thousands of drow from Menzoberranzan City, and even the Abyss. The devil and the spider army are fighting, Lady of Darkness, human life is also life, you don’t think that the blood of drow is a tragedy, but the blood of human beings has nothing to do with it, right?”

"I have never thought about it this way." Eilistraee pursed her thick purple lips, and the dark girl looked at Aaron with a complicated expression: "Please don't do this."

"Second, for your plan, my people and I must face Rose in person. She may be the most cunning and cruel god in the entire multiverse. I admit that I defeated Rose once, but that time except for Rose's attack on me. Apart from the miscalculation of my strength, it was Ms. Night who gave me great help, and I owe Ms. Night a huge favor for this. You don’t think I want to take such a huge risk just to hear you say thank you, do you?”

Eilistraee bit her lip and nodded. Of course she knew how dangerous her mother was.

"Third, in addition to my reward, I also need to seek the support of Su Lun and other gods. Of course, I can't let my lord work in vain. Since you plan to leave the Underdark God System, I will most likely do it for you. Pledge to the drow and your church to prepare a place and resist external pressure to create a realm for your people to live in the sun. You also have to work hard to explain the difference between your drow and the Spider Queen drow, so I demand remuneration accordingly.”

Aaron gestured with three fingers and waited for Eilistraee's reaction.

The dark girl's white teeth bit her lips tightly, and the scroll of thousands of years passed before his eyes.

"I can accept all other requests, but... can I change the conditions for becoming your slave god?" Eilistraee said with difficulty: "For example, after the matter is accomplished, I can become Suellen's slave. From God.”

"Deal!" Aaron made the decision immediately.

"???" Eilistraee's transparent and clear pupils widened, and the dark girl realized that she had been tricked by Aaron, and that he had actually been deceived by a mortal!

"Then it's decided. Su Lun and I promise not to betray you or devour your godhead, and we will try our best to ensure the safety of your church's followers.

"As a price, I want Eilistraee to swear to Cuthbert, the sacred law of the Absolute Contract, and use half of your soul as collateral to ally with me and promise to join the heavenly system in the future and become me or The follower of the Silver Virgin Suellen. If I give up midway or die due to reasons not caused by you, the contract will be terminated."

Aaron crossed his arms and said, "As for what I should pay, I have already made it clear."

"You... have such great ambitions and such a big appetite!" Eilistraee was numbed by Aaron, but the dark girl was not so easy to get angry. If she was angry, she would not attack Aaron. She would just express her sadness and sadness. He looked at Aaron for a while, then suddenly smiled mockingly: "Are you so sure that you can become a god?"

"Have I not already done it?" Aaron smiled naturally: "I am gathering an army to attack the Moon Sea, preparing to overthrow the thrones of Bane and Cyric. This will be the biggest event since Tukan's invasion. A large-scale battle, Ms. Darkness, do you think that if I can win, will my reputation be enough to become a god? As for my strength, although I am not as good as the true god, it is not a problem to compete with Six Fingers for a short time. Woking can testify .”

"As for whether I can guarantee the win, isn't it very simple? If I win, then everything will go according to the contract. If I lose, then you won't lose anything." Aaron continued to add: "I have already given in. , when the time comes, you can choose for yourself, whether to be my follower or Su Lun's follower. I won't force you. I have already analyzed the unreliability of your plan. Believe me, my plan is definitely better than yours. The plan has a high probability of success.”

Eilistraee's eyes flickered for a moment.

Aaron's charm attribute was ridiculously high, well-founded and endorsed by Suellen. The dark girl thought about it again and again, and finally made up her mind.

"You are my last hope, Aaron Salian, I hope you will do what you say." Eilistraee nodded painfully, and he surrendered.

He also realized that Aaron had seen through his bottom line. No matter how excessive the conditions Aaron proposed, Eilistraee would eventually accept them. Aaron left her a little space, but she did not understand or accept them.

In this way, Eilistraee summoned the god of punishment from other heavens, Saint Cuthbert.

If anyone still remembers, when it comes to the story of Asmodeus, the Lord of Nine Hells, the Gods of Dawn once signed a contract with the Lord of Nine Hells, and the Gods of Dawn and the Lord of Nine Hells had a discussion about the Contract of Beginning. The debate is specifically about "should mortals be punished for deviating from the order established by the gods and the laws of the world?".

At this time, a low-level god attendant came up and said: "Reward and punishment are the basis of all order."

From this sentence, Dennidan's Jiugongge camp was officially formed, and the gods began to realize that in addition to the "good" and "evil" coordinate axes, there are also "order" and "chaos" coordinate axes.

The low-level god attendant was directly promoted to the main god because of these words.

This god is Cuthbert, the god of punishment.

It is said that one of the highest-level rewards among the devils is a bet on whether they can get a hair from Saint Cuthbert's head.

The God of Punishment often appears in the form of a bald, long-haired old man wearing a red robe and white armor, holding his famous mace.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Aaron chose St. Cuthbert instead of Heim is because the elven pantheon actually has aspects in multiple universes and even the multiverse, and the primordial contract overrides everything. The contract above the contract, Eilistraee is the Elf God. If she really wants to default on her debt, then she can abandon this aspect of the kingdom.

This is what Shar reminded Aaron. Shar said that you made a mistake when you signed the contract with Moradin. Don't make such a stupid mistake next time.

Saint Cuthbert glanced at the contract between Aaron and Eilistraee. Even the well-informed God of Punishment couldn't help tightening the wrinkles on his face when he saw this contract. He almost Can't even hold a hammer.

Eilistraee actually wants to bet everything on this young man in front of her? On the premise that the other person has not yet become a god, he has promised to become his follower god in the future?

Are you afraid that you have been cheated? The white-haired and bald old man glanced at Eilistraee for a few times. Seeing Eilistraee's firm expression, Cuthbert could only start the oath.

Although the God of Punishment favors the good camp, he strictly maintains neutrality.

The mace was raised high, and the original contract document symbolizing the new era of the multiverse appeared in the hands of the God of Punishment.

"Since both parties have no objections, as a witness of the Taichu Contract, in the name of the God of Punishment, and in accordance with the principles of fairness, justice and openness, I witness the signing of the Divine Contract by both parties. I ask you, Aaron Salian of Kingdom Tianyu , do you agree to provide all your possible services to Eilistraee, to make every effort to end the sins of Spider Queen Lolth, and to share your achievements with Him?"

"I agree." Aaron put his hand on the Taichu contract document.

The God of Punishment turned to Eilistraee: "The daughter of the Elf Father Corellon, the dark maiden Eilistraee of the Dark Elf pantheon, do you agree to do your best to ensure the completion of your matricide plan in Aaron-Salian, for you? Under the premise of arranging a way out for the sworn people, with the body of a god, he chooses the moon girl Su Lun or Aaron after becoming a god as his master? From then on, he breaks away from the elven god system and joins other possible god systems? "

Eilistraee glanced at Aaron for the last time, pursed her lips and said with a tone that was three points cheerful and seven points melancholy: "I agree."

"Then under the witness of the impartial Taichu Contract, I declare that this contract will be established starting from today."

Saint Cuthbert nodded, the contract was formally established, and the God of Punishment left.

A red stone star mark like a tattoo appeared on the wrists of Aaron and Eilistraee almost at the same time, each reminding them of the highest level of contract between them.

"I entrust everything to you, Aaron Salian." Eilistraee looked at the brand on her wrist sadly: "Don't forget the agreement between us, don't forget..."

The dark girl slowly disappeared into the room. Before leaving, He stretched out his index finger and poked Aaron's face: "Don't forget."

"You still owe Nestia an apology, Lady Dark." Aaron gently kissed the back of Eilistraee's hand wrapped in white silk: "Don't forget it."

"I will……"

Elminster's home is always filled with a warm atmosphere. The great sage is always as lively as a bad old man. He likes to laugh and tell all kinds of jokes to amuse the atmosphere. He is humorous, but when others make mistakes, When speaking, Elminster would correct the other party's grammatical errors very seriously and correct them word by word.

He held a meerschaum pipe in his mouth and inadvertently blew out smoke rings on Eleanor's face. He took pleasure in admiring the frown on Miss Vicar's face. He was happy to show his collection to Egil. , and chatted with Dalonglong about all kinds of interesting things in the multiverse, and which demiplane might have the most treasures.

He stopped the little pirate Tikki from groping around, and scolded Tikki so severely that the little pirate never dared to leave his seat. Facing Harald and Halfdan who were devouring their food, Elminster But he responded with a helpless smile and did not criticize them for leaving apple pie sauce and food residue everywhere.

The atmosphere in the house was harmonious until Aaron came down from upstairs.

"Young man, I dare to ask, did your negotiation with the Dark Lady go well?" Elminster took the pipe off his lips: "I have no intention of prying into the secrets between you, but it depends on what we do next. matter."

"I prefer to call it the 'Twilight Alliance.'" Aaron laughed.

"Oh, this couldn't be better." Elminster motioned for Aaron to sit down: "In this case, we can start, Storm, Dove, Florin."

Silver fire jumped over the large map of Faerûn, and the original power of Mystra stared at the familiar coastline, plains, mountains, rivers, forests, and cities.

Aaron, the great general of Cormyr, sat on one side with the great dragon Egil and the priestess Eleanor.

On the other side sat the great sage Elminster, two of the seven sisters of the North, Storm Silverhand and Dove Hawkhand, Dove's husband Florin Hawkhand, and their son. Mielikki's ranger Azara-Hawkhand, according to rumors, Azara Hawkhand is very likely to become the next lord of Shadow Valley.

The eldest sister Shiron, one of the Seven Sisters of the North, has died and is currently guarding the Valley of Shadows as a spirit. Aaron believes that through the silver fire, the Seven Sisters of the North and other Mystra elects are listening to him.

Aaron briefly described his plan, the dangers of the Zhentarim, Cyric's ambitions, and his worries about Bane's comeback.

"Without further ado, I need your support, everyone." Aaron said towards Elminster.

"The enemy is at hand." Storm Silverhand answered first: "I am happy to see the destruction of the Zhentarim, but should you explain it to us in advance?"

"The Harpers are always called when needed, aren't they, Lady Storm?" Aaron made a pun towards the tall silver-haired beauty: "I think this is the difference between the Harpers and the Zhentarim. I firmly believe that justice Always on our side.”

"Is there any chance of winning?" Florin Hawkhand is mature and prudent. He looks like a real general, but his impulse has been worn away, leaving only a calm and calm look in his eyes: "The knights of Myth Drannor cannot do it because of Your ambition is at risk, Your Highness Aaron.”

"Whether we take risks or not depends on the judgment of the Great Sage and you all." Aaron clenched his fists and said seriously: "We have a righteous name, and there will be many countries and armies in the central and western parts of the country joining our army. , as long as Lord Elminster, the great sage, makes a decision, then our army will be sure of victory."

"Victory is certain, right?" Dove-Hawkhand said very few words. She hesitated between moving forward bravely and being cautious and conservative: "We don't doubt your ability..."

"You can't say that." Elminster said slowly. The great sage took off his pipe from his mouth and stared at Aaron with his deep-set eyes full of wisdom: "Young man, justice often happens It cannot determine victory or defeat, but victory or defeat can determine justice... If I was killed by the elves when I was wandering in the Cormanzo Forest when I was young, there would be no subsequent story."

Justice cannot determine victory or defeat, but victory or defeat can determine justice.

This sentence actually came out of Elminster's mouth, and Aaron felt that every word was full of profound meaning.

Elminster is over a thousand years old, and he has spent hundreds of years roaming the multiverse. He has obviously seen too much to say this.

"But you are protected by the goddess Mystra, aren't you? My great sage?" Aaron's heart suddenly flashed and he said tentatively.

"There will never be a shortage of gods who support the Zhentarim. Once some forces join you, other forces will definitely join the Moon Sea side." Elminster said slowly: "You should understand the philosophy of balance, right? ?Why did the god AO suddenly appear in the year of turmoil? Isn't it because the actions of the three gods of death destroyed the balance?"

"Never underestimate your enemy." Storm Silver held a silver spoon in his hand and waved it towards Aaron's face: "Dark Sun, Lady Night, Lady Torment, Lady Doom, including the Son of Bane's dark army that has been active recently, Se Your red robes, the Dragon Witch Cult, the demon elves in the Cormanthor Forest, and the frost giant tribes in the north will all join the Moon Sea."

"However, maybe this is also an opportunity." Elminster thought deeply about various possibilities: "You are Alice Sayre's fiancé and a voter of the Silver Virgin... If, I mean if, young man, If you are willing to contribute in the subsequent Elven Holy War to regain Myth Drannor, and provide the greatest range of military assistance as a reinforcement to the Elven Restoration Army, we will consider joining your camp, how about it?"

"Recover Myst Drannor? The elves plan to rebuild the Cormanthor Empire?!"
