Chaos Crown

Chapter 138, Spoils Conference
In Guangze, the wind and snow are still there.

No other sound can be heard on the vast white land, only the sound of the wind blowing dead trees and broken branches, and the slight sound of snow falling to the ground. This place is always so desolate and lonely, even the most ferocious hobgoblins and gnolls hide. up.

The light flashed, and Aaron and others fell here.

Aaron, who was still in the state of being transformed into a secret keeper, hugged the warlock lady with the most standard princess, while the ascetic monk Kong fell lightly to the ground through the characteristics of a monk.

Only Leonard was not protected. The paladin fell from the sky and slammed into the ice of the swamp. There was a heavy blow and snowflakes splashed. dizzy.

"Ouch." Leonard screamed incessantly, and it took several seconds for the paladin to barely turn over, facing the sky, looking at the white snow falling from the sky, he spread out his limbs, and lay on his back with a "big" character, First, he complained and said, "Don't you have someone to pick me up?"

After finishing speaking, before Aaron and others answered, Leonard couldn't help laughing, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha~"

"Hahahahahahahaha~"

"Junior, and Master Kong, did you hear that? That dracolich is really mad."

"Haha, I didn't expect that we came to investigate the matter of the junior, but in the end we even stabbed the Dragon Witch Cult's lair, and we actually retreated unscathed!"

"When I think that the Dragon Witch Cult probably didn't understand what happened, I just want to laugh, hahahaha~"

The paladin had a hearty smile, a candid laugh, and an infectious laugh.

Sunshine and enthusiasm, under his influence, the eldest lady first smiled presumptuously, buried her head in Aaron's arms, and Aaron also laughed loudly, this time he slapped Cyric hard Along with the dracolich.

Even the ascetic monk Kong couldn't help laughing a couple of times, and he didn't know how many years he hadn't shown such a hearty smile.

For an adventure, as long as the mission can be successfully completed and no one is killed, it is worth celebrating. After the mission is over, there is a drink and a big meal in the tavern.

Kingdom adventurers are so cruel!
The venture was such a success that the four had no reason not to be delighted.

A burst of laughter eased the atmosphere. Taking this opportunity, Aaron took the initiative to say to Kong: "Anyway, Master Kong, thank you for your help this time. How about this? We have harvested a total of 28 boxes. Please choose 5 boxes from Master Kong." as a reward."

Thinking of the ascetic's vow of poverty, Aaron quickly added: "The money will be donated directly to the monastery."

"Thank you, master, for your help. My brother and I are very grateful." Charlotte was put on the ground by Aaron, and the eldest lady also smiled sweetly and bowed.

The smile on the ascetic monk's face gradually disappeared, and he was still staring at Aaron with doubts and vigilance in his eyes.

At this time, Aaron had just lifted the Keeper's transformation, and the power remaining on him from the Silver Virgin Suren had not disappeared.

"Just give me one." Kong put his hands together, and he sighed slightly: "Your Excellency Aaron Salian, it is my honor to be able to participate in this adventure, but...we are not the same kind of people after all. , since the Silver Virgin recognizes you and takes you as the carrier of His power, then I have nothing to say, let’s say goodbye, I will not appear in front of you again in the future, and you, don’t come to me again , you and I are destined for this."

"Master..." Aaron also sighed slightly, knowing that Sora refused to contact him again.

During the whole adventure, Aaron could feel Kong's doubts and hostility towards him. The two sides just cooperated reluctantly. The ascetic monk didn't obey orders so much from the beginning, and after arriving in the secret place of the Dragon Witch Cult, he was even more worried. , it is not easy to successfully complete the adventure now.

Aaron now began to understand why many of the protagonists of the web articles he had read in his previous life were inclined to the evil camp.

The definition of goodness and evil in "Electric Youdan" is actually different from the "good and evil" in the Chinese tradition. The camps of good and evil in "Electric Youdan" actually refer to "altruism" and "selfishness". Opposite, kindness represents the person's behavior tends to be altruistic, while evil represents the person's tendency to be egoistic.

Naturally, all people would like to live in an altruistic society where friends are good-aligned.

And here lies the problem, because different people have different understandings of "altruism". There are hundreds of altruisms, while "self-interest" is the same in the end.

This is why there is a saying that "goodness is infinitely divisible, but evil always tends to be the same".

Therefore, when you need help and assistance, it is very simple to negotiate with those from the evil camp. You only need to talk about "benefits" and "remuneration", which is simple and clear. Of course, you must pay attention to the risks of betrayal and breach of contract.

The good camp is different. They don't like to talk about benefits and rewards so much, but there are always various reasons, reasons, and moral principles that affect their decisions.

To put it simply, there are too many things to force.

Kong is a lawful and good monk, and Leonard is a lawful and good paladin, but they have different positions on these two lawful and good camps. For example, Kong doesn't like Aaron's cruel magic, while Leonard felt that it didn't matter as long as he did something good.

Another example is the attitude towards killing the peripheral personnel of the Dragon Witch Cult. Leonard and Kong also had differences.

Good people are like this, once they have an opinion, they will endure it very hard.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a friendly teammate, and we must pay attention to how he understands "kindness".

"As long as I have this much, that's enough." Kong gently opened the big box that Charlotte took out, and the ascetic monk picked up four gold, silver, jewelry, and diamond coins from Zhentil Castle with his fingers. Platinum coin: "This money is donated to the monastery by your Excellency, and I will convey it on your behalf."

The value of 4 platinum coins is only equivalent to 40 golden lion coins.

Kong asked for these four platinum coins. The reason he gave was that the cafeteria and the clean room needed to be repaired. Apart from these four platinum coins, the monk did not ask for any material remuneration: "Besides, I also There is a request."

"Master, please tell me." Aaron put away his thoughts.

"Please treat your cousin Maximian well, he is an excellent monk, and his talent should not be buried." Kong put the four platinum coins in his arms, clasped his hands together, and saluted Aaron: "If he commits a serious crime in the future, please don't kill him, and exile him to the monastery here."

"Okay." Aaron nodded without hesitation. Seeing nothing, he immediately added: "I swear to the Silver Virgin Sullen, I will treat my cousin Maximian well, as long as he does not betray me or do anything wrong." A shameful thing."

"That's good." Kong finally bowed to Aaron: "After all, I am still not enough in practice when I travel here. I am hesitant to act and violate the taboo. Starting today, I will punish myself for three years. Please forget about Kong. , even if we meet again by fate in the future, we will still be strangers."

"Finally, I would like to send you three words." Kong took a deep look at Aaron: "Precepts, samadhi, and wisdom, these three words are good for suppressing the filth in your blood, please be sure to remember them."

When he left empty, he was strong and thin, wearing only burlap clothes and leggings, and his figure disappeared into the vast snow.

Aaron has mixed feelings.

Precepts, samadhi, and wisdom?

You say this to a person chosen by the four gods of chaos, is this a bit...

"Master is really thinking of you, Aaron."

Leonard also got up from the ground, and the principal said softly: "He has always had some opinions on you, but his heart is not bad, junior, please don't bear any grudges against him."

"Master-level strength, a monk who took the poverty oath, was able to risk his life to come out with us at Midwinter Festival, and finally asked for 4 platinum coins." Aaron shook his head and smiled: "How could I hate him?"

"Besides, it's your turn." Aaron said with a smirk, "You are different from him, senior. There are 28 treasure chests, choose 5 of them!"

"Eh..." Now it was Leonard's turn to be in trouble, and the headmaster hurriedly said, "I haven't done anything, how can I take your money? Besides, didn't we agree to pay 325 Golden Lion Coins? I'm just your employee, you just need to honor my commission."

"That's not okay, I said 5 treasure chests are 5 treasure chests!" Aaron put his arm around Leonard's shoulders maliciously: "I'm the employer! I can give you as much as I want! "

"No, junior, you want to tarnish my purity!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Leonard pushed Aaron away and ran away.

"Hmph, want to escape?" Aaron's interest also rose, he directly picked up the treasure box confiscated by Charlotte, and ran after Leonard.

"Don't run away, Sir Leonard, you have a special delivery~"

"Hahaha~"

"Hahahaha~"

The wind and snow in Guangze were full of cheerful laughter. Leonard ran ahead, and Aaron chased after him carrying a treasure chest. The two laughed like brats.

Sometimes friendship between men is just so unpretentious...and inexplicable.

At least the eldest lady bent over with laughter watching this chase, and Charlotte laughed so tenderly that tears came out of her eyes.

Employers want to pay more, employees want to get less, and there are no middlemen to make the difference.

Such oddities are rare!

The two sides quarreled for a while, and in the end, Leonard reluctantly agreed to accept the gold, silver and jewelry in the two treasure chests as his reward.

He counted casually, and he knew that the coins in the two treasure chests were about ten times the commission promised by Aaron. In addition, there were some fragments of gold, silver and jewelry, with an estimated value of more than 4000 Golden Lion coins.

Suddenly receiving such a large sum of money, the head of the university was a little confused.

"Senior, first of all, save some money, I think you can update all your equipment." Aaron gave Leonard the address of the dwarf craftsman Forjar, and he continued: "Also, donate Donate directly to the church as much as possible, don't give directly to refugees, it's useless."

"Finally, remember to save some for yourself, for example... our Miss Maria-Lysa needs a New Year's gift?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, and he smiled wretchedly.

"Miss Lysa and I are not..." Leonard quickly explained when he heard Maria Lysa's name, as if he had been put into water and electrified.

But halfway through the explanation, the headmaster remembered the words of the flag officer Lucian again. The upright paladin blocked himself with what he wanted to explain, and his face turned red.

In the end, the headmaster sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head: "If I had a student who is one-tenth of your level, I wouldn't be in such a predicament."

"However, Aaron, are you ready?" After finishing speaking, Leonard also looked at Charlotte in the distance with a smirk: "That Miss Eleanor and this Miss Carladney look terrible It's not a good temper!"

"Heh~ heh heh heh~" The smile on Aaron's face gradually froze.

Not good tempered?Eleanor and Charlotte's tempers have been counted!

The other two... Aaron thought of the dark elder sister who killed people without blinking an eye, and the confident, arrogant and autocratic princess regent, and couldn't help feeling a lot of pressure.

If these two women meet Charlotte or Eleanor casually, will sparks hit the earth?

Can you handle this situation yourself?

Aaron swallowed involuntarily.

Well, Su Lun Ma Ma is the best, gentle, loving, big, soft and fragrant!
Praise the moon, praise Su Lun Mama!
…………

The next thing is much simpler.

Aaron and the others left Guangze and came to the Duke of Kayneth's territory to rest for a night. Afterwards, the Duke arranged a convoy and escorts for them and sent them back to Suzar.

Inside the warm and comfortable luxury carriage, Aaron and Charlotte began to really take stock of the gains of this adventure.

The 28 treasure chests are presumably gifts for the dracolich, so there's nothing but shiny stuff in them, nothing else of value, just money.

After distributing the two treasure chests to Leonard, Aaron and Charlotte still have 26 treasure chests. According to Leonard’s calculation of wealth, there should be at least 26 gold lion coins in the 5 treasure chests. .

Just money and gold, silver and jewelry, nothing else, only diamonds are common spell-casting props.

So Aaron and Charlotte's main attention was focused on the two magic items that could not be included in the dimensional ring, and the few books on the table, the letters between the dracolich and the outside world.

Aaron focused his attention on the talisman with the golden ancient dragon pattern on it.

With four heads and six claws, this ancient golden dragon was not the same as the golden dragon among the five-color metal dragons he had seen in the book.

What is this thing, how did it come about, and what is it for?

At that moment, what was the overlapping triple ring that Aaron saw, the golden central axis separating the rings, and the curved arcs at both ends of the central axis?
What exactly does this magic item want to tell me?
Is this an item made by the Platinum Dragon God Bahamut, or does it come from another source?
Aaron played with the talisman, wondering if he should do it again.

"Oh! I got it, I got it, brother!" Charlotte's voice interrupted Aaron's thoughts, and the eldest lady said excitedly: "This thing is the legendary Dragon Whisperer mask! This letter says Now! Listen, I tell you, the mask of the Dragon Whisperer..."

"Wait, sister, where is this amulet?" Aaron picked up the amulet and asked, "Is it mentioned in the letter?"

"This thing seems to be called the Holy Dragon Emblem Amulet!" Charlotte flipped through the letter, and the eldest lady was very excited because she came into contact with new knowledge.

"It came from a great ancient dragon's accidental travel in the outer planes, and it contains the embryonic form of a law..."
