Chaos Crown

Chapter 109, fiefdom has never been easy

Since they were about to leave Suzar, the two purple dragon knights with strange origins walked shoulder to shoulder at this time.

"I've always believed that one must be young to enter politics."

Mannacorn-Anaheim arranged his cuffs elegantly, so that his shirt cuffs were just about one centimeter exposed from his coat. He has no more than three colors in his body, and blue is the main color. It seems to be unrestrained, but it can always be controlled within the category called "gentlemanly demeanor".

"When you're young, you're full of energy, you're in the prime of life, you can have a romantic spa bath and a good night with a beautiful lady last night, sneak out of the room in the middle of the night and play cards with a few brothers until late at night, and then we We can drink and talk about state affairs together until dawn, and come to the Knights in good spirits the next day."

"Thank the gods we are all so young, so... young."

Mannacorn-Anaheim smiled and said: "Aaron Salian, I envy you very much. I wanted to become an inner court knight from the first day I entered the Purple Dragon Knights."

"Then I was earlier than you, I have thought about it since I was a child." Aaron also replied with a smile: "Do you like me to become an inner court knight, Mr. Anaheim?"

"Well, I don't like it very much." Manacorn pouted, his handsome face tilted down, and he expressed his dissatisfaction with the upper eyeliner: "At least you proved your strength."

His facial expression is very rich.

"It's more like a punishment for me to become an inner court knight." Aaron also opened his eyes wide and squinted, looking towards the direction of the palace: "The situation is constantly deteriorating, sir, becoming an inner court knight at this time is not a gift at all, but revenge , I'm terrified, Mr. Anaheim, terribly terrified."

"What do you have to be afraid of?" Manacorn asked casually, "Your Highness the Regent who doesn't like to leave the palace? The hobgoblins in the north? Or the expelled Old Ones?"

"My poor judgment."

"You have faith and courage."

"The Burden of Salian."

"You have a will of steel and a sense of humor."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Aaron repeated.

Mannacorn's expression changed during Aaron's answer. The smile on his face disappeared and he frowned, without restarting the conversation.

Aaron's words tapped into his deepest fears.

The so-called dripping water wears away the stone, gathering sand to form a tower.

The will of his great dark father, Bane, has been eroding his soul.

For the next five minutes, neither of them spoke again. Mannacorn was thoughtful, and Aaron's eyes drifted as he thought about countermeasures.

The wet and cold rain fell from the sky, dripping on the bluestone pavement of the streets of Susar, and the vendors on the street had already started a new day of business.

The flower seller girl who sold flowers delivered the flowers to the noble lady, and bowed humbly to take the silver coins from her.

The shopkeepers cursed the damn weather, strapped their wares on their belts, and peddled passers-by with spices, crafts and cheeses from the Sword Coast region.

The female apprentice who was following the wizard was lifting up her little skirt to prevent the skirt from being splashed by the rain. The girl who was the same age as her was an apprentice craftsman, but her whole body was wet by the rain, and she had to work in the rain while the master was scolding her. .

But the rain couldn't touch Aaron at all, and all the raindrops were blocked by the divine shield.

The same is true for Manakorn. The cloak on his body is not ordinary at first glance, and it has a similar effect.

"Since I can remember, I have rarely been exposed to rain." Aaron said suddenly.

"What?" Manacorn didn't realize what Aaron was saying.

There was a hint of a smile on the face of Lord Viscount, and he pointed to a group of people who were queuing up to buy bread on the street: "Just like me, I never line up to buy bread, because my bread is baked in the oven in my own home. "

"The city is too crowded," Mannacorn said to Aaron. "They should all go back to the country, where there are dogs, horses, farmland, clean air, and comfortable thatched huts. They shouldn't be crowded in the city." Li, make a mess of this place."

"The Arabel refugees have no home to return to." Aaron shook his head: "Their homeland has fallen."

"So I have always believed that the best culture developed by human beings for thousands of years is the city. Our civilization allows the most educated, powerful, and noble people to socialize and live comfortably in the city, not for everyone They all come to the city, making the city so crowded and messy."

The two left the rich area and came to the poor area. Manacorn couldn't help frowning as he watched the refugees lined up on the side of the road waiting for relief: "Country people should stay where country people should stay. , they shouldn't come into the city."

"Do you think we should deport these refugees?" Aaron said casually.

"Kings should be like kings, nobles should be like nobles, free people are free people, farmers should be in the countryside, everything is orderly, and the seasons don't change. This is the truth of human beings. This is what distinguishes us from filthy orcs. Mannacorn pointed to the hooded homeless men who were being driven away by the guards: "Look at those homeless men, they shouldn't be here at all. If the poor can still create employment value for the city, then these homeless Han is of no value at all, they go anywhere but not in Susa."

"Do you think the city should not accept these people?" Aaron was noncommittal.

"So look at our current Suzall like a slum, Your Excellency Aaron." Mannacorn nodded: "Someone is in a position that shouldn't be there. As the nobles of the kingdom, we should set things right and let the kingdom Get back on the right track."

"For example?" Aaron thought deeply, "There should be a king on the throne?"

"of course."

"You want a king, and I want a king." Aaron said meaningfully: "The nobles want a king."

"Then why can't we have a king?" Manacorn frowned: "We can, Lord Salian, we can."

"Because they want Alice Sale." Aaron pointed at the soldiers, and then pointed at the Arabel refugees who were queuing up to receive relief porridge: "And they also want Alice Sale."

"Pfft." The handsome man sneered, "It's them, not us."

"Unsightly, what did she bring to Susar? 30000 refugees? Breaking off diplomatic relations with Zambia? The Queen's Blade? Or ignoring the correct opinions of the Kingdom Council all day long? And that...then..." Manacorn After hesitating for a few seconds, seeing that Aaron said that he could talk about everything, he said: "I never know from some wilderness, or a fishing village, I found a... an inexplicable warlock, and announced that she is the successor to the chief wizard?"

"This is against the rules, Your Excellency Aaron, you are from a famous family, the queen of the Earl." Manacorn's tone was deep and full of strength.

"I am a soldier, Mr. Mannacorn." Aaron raised his head and looked directly at his colleague: "Soldiers are all simple, and they are all born to be loyal to the country."

After finishing speaking, Aaron stopped talking, and the two approached the south gate in silence.

Manacorn frowned. The last purple dragon knight chewed on the words, and felt that the more he thought about it, the more meaningful it became. For a moment, he couldn't be sure what Aaron meant.

"It's almost done, let's say goodbye, Mr. Mannacorn-Anaheim, and look forward to our next meeting."

The two came to the gate of the city, and Aaron shook hands with Mannacorn.

"See you."

Aaron left, leaving Manakorn standing in the city gate, watching his back with complicated eyes.

This guy's threat is too great. If he can do it again, his side simply doesn't have the combat power to match him.

Today's contact between the two made Mannacorn doubt Aaron's attitude.

Leave him alone, because no matter what, his plan cannot be stopped because of this.

This is a road that cannot be turned back.

————I am the dividing line for the plan to continue———

On the shore of Longhu Lake, Karadenai Manor.

Alice Searle, the daughter of the Regent, sat lazily in front of the French windows. She leaned on the recliner, feeling the impact of the rain hitting the glazed windows, and looking at the Long Lake shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance, half-closed. Eyes, leisurely and comfortable.

There are exquisite pastries and a cup of steaming hot milk on the table. The luxurious decoration inside the house is dominated by white, gold and blue, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, imported carpets made of elves on the ground, exquisite murals on the walls, two lamps The Karatu floor lamp and the magic communication device were placed on the long table not far away, and there was an exquisite wine cabinet next to it, which contained fine wines collected by the eldest lady from all over the country.

Wizards know how to enjoy it, especially witches. The eldest lady's property comes from the gift of her mentor Van Gedard Hester, the gift from the Queen Mother, and it is also inseparable from the financial support of the Regent Princess.

Just as Aaron regards the Salian House in the upper town as a "safe haven", Alice Searle also regards the Missy's manor as her own safe haven. The Queen Regent finally has a place where she can temporarily put aside countless troubles after all her daily affairs , Relax your spirit a little.

Well, it would be better if no one was there, Alice Searle took a small sip of the hot milk, and at the same time turned her gaze to the young lady who was studying at the other end of the room.

Charlotte is concentrating all her attention on the first volume of Sallyan. She injects her own magic power into the scroll, and the chaotic text in the scroll immediately turns into a golden arrangement to form a new text combination for her to read. .

According to her, she's just now learning the story of "the battle between the Old Ones and the Necrontyr and the C'tan and Heaven".

"Xia Lu, take a break, don't focus on that volume all day..." Alice Searle tidied up her slightly messy long blond hair.

"Ouch, Alice~" The eldest lady moved away from the scroll, and she brushed her clean and clean chin playfully with her hand: "Who told me that you want to come to me to have a good rest and relax?"

"I asked you to come here to rest, not to let you take care of me, Alice, this is a treasure my brother gave me!"

The pink-haired young lady jumped up and down, she couldn't put it down holding the first volume of Salian's book: "If you want to read it, I can show it to you, but only for a while, really only for a while!"

Alice Searle sighed helplessly, this best friend of hers is really her "brother" who never leaves her.

Is the first book of Salian so magical?

Just thinking of this question, the regent queen's thinking immediately turned into a political brain.

This year, the registration for Battle Mage Apprentice had just started, and Alice Searle immediately noticed the difference from previous years.

The estimated number of recruits for this year's Battle Mage Apprentices is more than three times that of previous years!
In the qualification test hosted by Charlotte Carla Denay, in addition to measuring the applicant's intelligence attributes and magical talents as in previous years, there was an additional separate test.

The first book of Salian.

As long as any applicant can read the first volume of Salian and understand the chaotic text above, he can directly become an apprentice of a battle mage and learn "star magic".

This has led to a sharp increase in the number of apprentices, and many children whose intelligence attributes or magical talents do not meet ordinary standards can rely on the first book of Salian to become noble spellcasters.

In other words, the invention of Salian's first volume and "Astral Magic" not only allowed ordinary wizards to obtain an additional spell table, but also greatly lowered the entry threshold for mages.

The number of Battle Mage apprentices has tripled. Is this bad news or good news for Cormyr?

Need to say more?Undoubtedly, this is the best news. You must know that the entire battle mage group is only a few hundred people.

If the largest red-robed mage group in the country is fully capable of fighting, it will be difficult to fill up 1 mages, and it may be necessary to recruit all apprentices.

But even so, the red-robed mage is already famous in the whole continent, and Searle is also known as the country of red-robed.

Is this scroll really that magical?
Alice Sale wanted to see it too.

"Hee hee, this is given to me by my younger brother who is both beautiful, wise and courageous!" Charlotte is always so lively, and the eldest lady is very excited: "According to him, the second volume is about to be written, Uh~ This bad brother always bullies my sister."

bad brother?Alice Searle couldn't help but glanced at Charlotte again.

The eldest lady told the regent princess that it is extremely happy to be in harmony with her brother's soul, but that bad brother always stops at inappropriate times, which makes her feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

How come I can understand these words separately, but I can't understand them together?

"Forget it, I won't watch it." The regent princess shook her head.

"Oh! Alice, why are you doing this!" Charlotte was about to talk about the astral magic created by her good brother and the two of them, but Alice Searle suddenly said that she didn't want to watch it.

The eldest lady held her breath, her little face flushed red.

My brother does this to me, Alice, you do this to me too!
"Pfft~" The Princess Regent who was sitting by the window pursed her lips and snickered, thinking that you taught me this.

"Alice!" The eldest lady kicked off her small high heels, and threw herself directly on her best friend, wrestling with her. .

"Okay, okay, Xia Lu, don't be like this, hahaha~" Alice Searle was pressed down by Charlotte, and the princess, who was a master warrior, immediately grabbed the young lady's wrist in turn, and the two were on the sofa. Rolling up and down, pink hair and blonde hair tangled.

However, within a minute, Alice Searle's face turned red suddenly, and her breathing gradually became faster. She hugged Charlotte tightly, gasping for breath: "Huh~ Don't move, Xia Lu, let me hold Charlotte like this for a while Is it?"

"Alice, you..." The eldest lady immediately understood what was going on, she took the silk scarf on the table, and let the princess regent bite her.

"No way, it's always been like this since she bathed in the ancient dragon's blood..." Alice Searle bit the silk scarf and hugged Charlotte tightly.

…………

This strange state lasted for about 5 minutes, until the Queen Regent took a long breath and gradually stretched her body: "Okay, Charlotte, thank you."

"You can't do it all the time, Alice." The eldest lady straightened her messy hair and complained, "My waist is almost broken by you."

"..." Alice Searle was leaning on the sofa. Just as she was about to say something, the regent princess's scarlet eyes suddenly showed killing intent: "Wait! Charlotte, there are people in the rain!"

"What?" The eldest lady was startled.

"There are people in the rain, and this feeling is quite a tricky guy." Alice Searle sat up immediately, her feet wrapped in black silk were put into red-soled high heels, and she held the purple dragon on the table with one hand Zhijian: "Do you have guests today? Didn't I tell you not to have outsiders around?"

What a quick response!Charlotte was surprised. Before she could feel her brother coming, Alice Searle felt it.

This is also the "Legacy of the Dragon": the princess's sensory abilities are several times that of normal people.

"No one is coming." Charlotte pretended to be thinking, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Yes, maybe my brother is here!"

"Brother?" The Queen Regent frowned, but thinking that it might be Aaron, she put down the sword in her hand: "Aaron? He should be on duty today."

"Yes, but my brother said that if the second volume of Salian's book is finished, he will send it as soon as possible." Charlotte said as a matter of course: "You should also meet him by the way, don't you always think that Aaron is not bad? Is it?"

"Well..." Alice Searle hesitated.

It was this hesitation that made Charlotte stop hesitating. The eldest lady ignored the regent princess's thoughts and went downstairs to open the door: "Brother? Sister is here~"

"Xia Lu!" Alice Searle hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

The eldest lady ignored her.

Damn it, damn it!Alice Searle could only get up from the sofa in a hurry. She seized the time to touch up her makeup, combed her slightly messy blond hair, smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes, patted her face to make the redness fade away, and opened the window to take a deep breath. In the cold moisture, he straightened his waist and stood in front of the inner room door after confirming that he hadn't lost his composure.

She could already hear footsteps.

"Please come in."

"Boom~" The door opened wide, and Aaron, who was wearing the knight's dress of the inner court, walked quickly with his head bowed. He just showed a look of surprise and knelt down on one knee: "Good day, my lord?"

"Good day." Alice Searle stretched out her hand, with the back of her hand facing up, hanging in the air.

A very good sign, thought Aaron.

hope everything is fine.
