Chaos Crown

Chapter 141, Stigmata Brand

Aaron and the others walked very quickly when they set off. They arrived near Guangze after a day's driving from Suzar. They had a day's rest that night and spent a day heading to the secret place of the Dragon Witch Cult. After returning to Guangze, they rested for a day before setting off.

On the way back, the convoy of escorts moved a lot slower, and the soldiers were also a little lazy and unable to get up. After all, during the national public holidays, not only had to work overtime, but also had to take risks when traveling outside. drudgery.

Charlotte was very excited. After a good rest, the eldest lady decided to show her powerful magic to her younger brother.

Seven Rings of Magic - Magic Duncan's mansion technique!
With the disappearance of Charlotte's will and the magic props in her hands, a magnificent mansion shrouded in brilliance and with a strong Baroque style appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is... the Magic Duncan Mansion Technique?" Aaron squeezed his chin with interest, looking at the young lady's creation.

This mansion is made of stone and bricks, without any wood. It has a circular structure on the outside, and the interior decoration is baroque and magnificent.

The gorgeous crystal hall contains countless gold and silver utensils and paintings, porcelain, tapestries and other royal supplies, with white walls and marble floors, and a gleaming dome made of milky alabaster on the ceiling.

The Charlotte-designed entrance hall is domed with crystal chandeliers, velvet embroidery on the floor and flanked by ancient bronze lions.

From the design of the building alone, it can be seen that the eldest lady doesn't like winter. The design of this magic mansion is obviously a mansion for escaping the summer heat. Aaron can even think of the bright and warm afternoon sun outside the house. Or a garden of grapes, and a sparkling swimming pool.

But these are not important, what is important is the magic of the seven rings of magic Duncan mansion.

The seven-ring magic of Magic Duncan Mansion can be understood as creating a different-dimensional residence, which will last until the duration of the spell ends.

The only entrance to the residence is 5 feet wide and 10 feet high. It is a large mansion with a maximum area of ​​no more than 50000 cubic feet (approximately 1145.14 cubic meters). There will be enough to make a nine-course meal for 100 people. There will also be 100 translucent servants that are materialized according to the master's conception. The servants can do anything that ordinary people can do, except for fighting, and they cannot leave the mansion.

The mansion lasts for 24 hours. During this period, everyone can freely enter and exit the mansion and rest inside. The caster can close the entrance of the mansion. At this time, the mansion is completely invisible and cannot be entered or exited.

This is a must-have spell for a senior mage to easily live a luxurious life in the wild.

It is not without reason that Faye holds a high status in the kingdom!
While a legendary warrior still has to live and sleep in a harsh area, a legendary mage can provide himself with the most comfortable shelter in the harshest environment.

This is called the gap.

Legendary fighters seem to be majestic, but in fact they are powerless in many ways. Most of the time, the only thing these legendary professionals can do is fight, and mages can do too many things, and fighting is only one of them. A small part, even after reaching a higher level, many legendary mages don't like to join the battle in person.

For example, Mordencan, who named this magic after himself.

As mentioned earlier, Aaron's understanding of the kingdom is very limited, and most of his knowledge comes from contact in this life, but as the most out-of-the-box camp of "Electric You", he has really heard of it. Mordencan's name.

Mordencan is a legendary archmage in the world of Greyhawk. Apart from his powerful magical attainments and reputation throughout the multiverse, he is most famous for being in the camp. Mordencan is always regarded as the representative of the "absolutely neutral" camp. mentioned.

Many people find it difficult to understand the absolute neutral camp. They think that the absolute neutral camp is a very harsh existence. For example, the four major elemental gods are all absolutely neutral camps except Vulcan, because no matter whether it is air element, earth element or water element There is no alignment bias of any kind (only fire has a strong destructive streak, so Vulcan is chaotic evil).

In fact, the absolute neutral camp is the easiest.

An ordinary farmer who only thinks about filling his stomach is an absolutely neutral camp, that is, if farming can fill the farmer's stomach, he will farm in a regular manner without causing trouble; if he cannot fill his stomach through farming, then he will Maybe go fishing, maybe go hunting, maybe pick fruit, maybe go to the city to work or even steal, but if all his goals are just to survive and eat, then the farmer is absolutely neutral.

In the same way, a businessman who only thinks about making money is an absolutely neutral camp, and a bounty hunter or mercenary who only thinks about how to complete reward tasks to get commissions is also an absolutely neutral camp.

Therefore, people in the absolute neutral camp are often very monotonous, because they only care about a certain standard, such as filling their stomachs, such as making money.

Things like filling one's stomach and making money do not have any good or evil nature in themselves.

Mordencan's absolute neutrality is higher than a farmer who only wants to eat or a mercenary who only wants to earn bounties. What he cares about is "the great balance", that is, he is committed to keeping the good and evil forces of a world in balance State, so sometimes he fights in the name of justice, but sometimes he joins forces with the devil.

Similarly, Charlotte is also an absolutely neutral warlock. The eldest lady cares about very limited things, such as herself, the princess, Cormyr's battle mage, etc. She has a concept of good and evil, but she doesn't feel that she must abide by it.

Because she is a warlock, a proud and powerful warlock born to be extraordinary!
Aaron hopes that Charlotte can live like this without restraint, do what she wants to do, enjoy magic, and enjoy life.

However, maintaining neutrality requires cost and capital.

Because without exception, those who can always remain neutral in many world-class events are the real strong!
There are only Aaron and Charlotte in the Mordencan mansion, although there may be enough room for 50 people, and Sir Leonard, who only has one of the cheapest rooms, is downstairs, and the eldest lady has no intention of inviting him .

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding and said nothing. Aaron cooked a sumptuous dinner with the food produced by the magic in the mansion. After the dinner, Charlotte took Aaron into her thoughts. Come out of the room.

It's so messy... This was Aaron's first reaction after entering the room.

The boudoir conceived by Charlotte is about 50 square meters in size, with a thick red carpet on the floor, a large bed with four gold pillars and curtains at the four corners is placed in the center of the room, and the two sides of the room are placed There is a golden screen with the holy symbols of the sun, a scale and a clock on it, and a desk and an alchemy table on both sides.

What really made Aaron speechless was that the floor, the bed, the screen, and the hangers on the other side of the room were all messy clothes!
"Hmm~ la la la la la~" Charlotte casually gestured with a pink and white waistcoat and a small dress with suspenders, and the eldest lady blushed: "Brother, what do you think I should wear?" Which one is better?"

"My sister looks good in anything." Aaron said with a smile.

"Hmph~ I'm not serious, you should hit me! You're obviously dealing with my sister!" Charlotte complained dissatisfiedly. She jumped onto the bed, hugged the big pink fox doll on it, and rolled around on the bed.

The room fell into silence again. Charlotte buried her head in the doll, suddenly too ashamed to lift her head.

Well, as expected, I still want to be this warrior!
The corners of Aaron's mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered, "So, it's about to start, sister?"

"Well...all, leave it to Aaron." Charlotte pursed her lips slightly, feeling Aaron's big hand caressing her hair, and the silky satin-like long pink hair brushed against his. palm.

"Sister is really cunning. She obviously brought it up by herself, but she still wants me to speak up." Aaron rubbed and smiled, "Really, like a fox."

The eldest lady slightly opened her eyes, pursed her small mouth, and shyly pushed Aaron's hands away. She averted her gaze and covered her face with a fox doll, but the reddish color that spread from her cheeks to her whole body Still betrayed her true emotions.

Aaron didn't tease her anymore. The Son of Chaos pricked his finger with a silver needle, and using his own blood as paint, he untied his sister's clothes and began to paint the Stigmata of Chaos.

Drawing the chaotic stigmata this time is completely different from the previous situation, he must concentrate all his attention.

But even so, an idea couldn't help popping up in Aaron's mind during the whole process.

It turns out that my sister's hair is really pink by nature!

…………

The horse-drawn carriage team rested for a whole day in a small town near Masampa.

Leonard had some complaints about this, and the paladin didn't understand why Aaron had to stay here for more than 24 hours when he clearly stated that he wanted to return to Suzar as soon as possible.

For a paladin, praying once a day means that his lay on hand energy pool and all his divine spells have been refreshed today, which means he can help more people.

Fortunately, 24 hours later, Aaron came out and announced that the team could start again. After he carried Charlotte, who looked very tired, into the carriage and let her sleep, he rarely stayed in the carriage, but went with Leonard Hike in the snow.

The seniors and juniors chatted about some recent events.

"I heard that recently, there was a very powerful half-orc named Doherty who unified several orc tribes in the Horn of Storm Mountains." Leonard brought up a topic: "It is said that his strength is very Powerful, with unbelievable swordsmanship."

"Oh? Orc chieftains appear in poor places like the Horn of Storm Mountains?" Aaron responded casually, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the engraving of the Chaos Stigmata did not go smoothly on Charlotte. When Aaron started to brand, there was a force in Charlotte that stopped him.

Fortunately, the eldest lady was willing to accept the brand both physically and mentally. Even though she completely gave up resistance, Aaron finally succeeded in leaving his deepest mark on the eldest lady's lower abdomen.

According to the eldest lady, when Aaron started branding, there was a voice in her heart warning her, but Charlotte firmly ignored it.

After the branding was completed, Charlotte's evaluation was: "Hey~ I feel like my soul is locked by my brother, so comfortable~"

The eldest lady was very satisfied with her stigmata, and she also said that her younger brother must not be partial, and must give Alice Searle one too.

What else can Aaron say to his good sister?

Neither of them planned to make it to the end.

Charlotte wants her best first-time experiences to be with her best girlfriends.

Aaron had made a promise to Eleanor, so he didn't think about it. This was unfair to Charlotte, but it was also in line with the young lady's wishes.

"What's the matter, junior, are you listening?" Leonard asked the headmaster when he saw Aaron's eyes wandering.

"Ah, I'm listening. You said that there was a half-orc sword master named Doherty who unified several orc tribes in the Horn of Storm Mountains." Aaron said quickly after regaining consciousness.

"Yes, a half-orc sword master." Leonard continued: "We have collected information that this half-orc is simply a whirlwind of death on the battlefield. The enemy's nightmare."

"This half-orc sword master has never been afraid of group battles. He can always counterattack with a long knife through unreasonable body spirals at the moment of being attacked. The more people there are, the stronger he is. At the same time, he seems to know a thing called With the big killing move of 'beheading', several orc chieftains fell directly under this blow, clean and neat, with a single blow."

"According to the descriptions of some escaped half-orcs, the martial arts of this half-orc sword master is the most advanced killing art..."

"Where did such a powerful half-orc come from?" Aaron pinched his chin, and he said in doubt: "The half-orc race is short-lived and violent. Although they are not as extreme and martial as the orcs, they live in blood. Therefore, it is impossible to obtain the protection of the main god of the orcs, and this race rarely produces talents."

"Hey! Junior, I have to criticize you for this. Half-orcs are indeed short-lived, and they are indeed irritable by nature, but this does not mean that we humans must be nobler than half-orcs!" Leonard immediately criticized : "All beings are equal, regardless of high or low. Even if we have to face the enemy on the battlefield one day, we should respect our enemies and our opponents."

"Senior is right." Aaron nodded, frankly admitting his mistake.

All things are born equal, nothing more than high or low, this is taught by the education of the previous life, and it is also included in the Su Lun teachings of this life.

If he despises, despises, and despises him just because he has orc blood on his body, then what is the difference between himself and the group of sun elves who practice racial discrimination all day long?

Half-orc swordsman Doherty?

He kept the name in his heart.

"Has Disma heard about this?" Aaron thought of his proud second senior.

"I heard that that fellow Disma has said that he wants to have a duel with this half-orc sword master. He is very confident." Leonard remembered Disma's offended face and smiled.

"He will have a chance." Aaron nodded: "If this continues, it's only a matter of time before this half-orc sword master goes down the mountain."

After another full day of travel, Aaron and others returned to Suzar.

On the day they returned to Susar, the three of them met the princess directly without stopping, and reported the whole process.

When she heard that there was a dracolich in the Cult of the Dragon, the Princess Regent's complexion changed a lot, and Alice Searle immediately notified the current chief wizard of the royal family, Van Ganda Hester, without hesitation.

After learning the news, the chief wizard who was on vacation immediately decided to go out due to illness. He contacted the two "Saints of Leisurely Garden" legendary druids and the three legendary powerhouses in the Emerald Green Courtyard through a special method. Mobilized a small number of purple dragon knights and elite battle mages, and directly rushed to the stronghold of the Dragon Witch Cult!
It is a pity that when they arrived, the stronghold of the Dragon Witch Cult was empty, and the Dragon Witch Cult withdrew collectively. The Dragon Lich also disappeared with his treasure, leaving only some property and Some traces of the activities of the Dragon Witch Cult.

This time the action was incomplete.

However, the names of Viscount Aaron of Salian, the next chief wizard Charlotte, the ascetic monk Kong of Guangze Monastery, and the paladin Leonard Grosskreutz have resounded throughout Cormyr and even the entire center of the country. area!
In just one day, the royal family of Cormyr released the official news:
[At the end of December 1360 in the valley calendar, the bloody case known as the "Salian robbery" occurred in history. Aaron Salian went to Guangze to investigate in person despite all the opinions. During the battle, Aaron Salian discovered the cannibalism In order to kill Aaron first, the Left Hand of God did not hesitate to collude with the Dragon Witch Cult and wanted to use Aaron's blood to sacrifice his master.

But what everyone didn't expect was that in the absence of reinforcements, Aaron Salian personally killed the cannibal "Left Hand of God" with only a four-member team, destroyed the stronghold of the Dragon Witch Cult, and repelled the legendary Dracolich "Shadow Neigher" Oglorosa! 】

How did they do it?
no one knows.

But there is no doubt that the name of the four people has been famous far and wide with this feat.

If before, everyone had only heard the name Aaron Salian, then from now on, when this familiar name is mentioned again, people in the kingdom will show a trace of awe and fear.

They defeated the killer of the Church of the Dark Sun, the well-known "Left Hand of God" among the cannibals!
None of them had legendary strength, but they defeated a legendary dracolich, forcing the legendary dracolich to run away with the treasure!

Not to mention that the entire stronghold of the famous Dragon Witch Cult was smashed by them!
This kind of strength shocked the hearts of the common people.

Aaron's reputation has risen, his reputation has risen, and his reputation in the Kingdom of Cormyr has risen even more.

From Sword Coast to Searle, from Sea of ​​Falling Stars to Sea of ​​Moons, more and more people will have heard of Aaron and their deeds.

At the same time, with the ringing of the New Year's bell, the large troops of the Sune Church also came to Suzar.

The Silver Chamber of Commerce took shape.
