Chaos Crown

Chapter 20, Miss Priest's Two Faces
In the study on the second floor, taking advantage of the time before dinner, Eleanor hadn't come yet, Aaron changed into clean clothes, handed the dirty clothes to the maid, and came to the study on the second floor.

There are a lot of books at home, and he wants to look up the content related to the "magician Mepham".

Aaron believes that since he is currently in Suzar, and the capital of Cormyr is in a wealthy area like the Triple Crown District where dignitaries live, safety should not be a problem, but as long as he still plans to go out and take risks, If he still intends to avenge Hicks, then he will definitely meet that elite magician again one day.

He wants to look up information about the magician.

Warlock is a relatively new and mysterious profession. Aaron knew very little about it before. He knew very little about the kingdom in his previous life, and he rarely heard news about magicians in this life.

Soon, Aaron found a book about wizards in the study.

"Warlocks are a group that rarely appears in the eyes of mortals, but their power should not be underestimated."

"Since ancient times, mortals' desire for power has been like breathing. Spellcasters spend their entire lives exploring the mysteries of magic, and non-spellcasters sweat their skills in the kingdom."

"But people's talents are different, and for most people they can't achieve their goals through their own efforts."

"Some people will try to take shortcuts. They try to summon outer-layer creatures, find a powerful source of power, and communicate with certain supreme beings outside the world through rituals to obtain power. Some indescribable existences beyond the stars have signed a contract and obtained the power bestowed by these existences."

"This is the magician, and the charm attribute is their most important attribute, which determines whether they can attract a powerful suzerain to sign a contract with them."

Aaron thought, isn't this somewhat similar to my situation?It's just that the powers given to me by the four gods are integrated into my body, soul and blood, so I became a warlock, a chaos warlock.

"Warlocks are not uncommon in the world, but most of them don't want to admit it and disguise themselves as mages, druids or warlocks, which makes warlocks not often known."

"Despite the similarities, warlocks themselves do not have the ability to cast spells. Their magical power comes entirely from powerful beings from other worlds."

"The supreme being who signed the contract and provided the power is the suzerain, and the warlocks are without exception the servants of the suzerain. Through the contract, the warlock can obtain the powerful and coveted spellcasting ability from the suzerain."

"As a price, the magician must always obey the orders of the suzerain, accept the arrangements of the suzerain, and safeguard the interests of the suzerain."

"This kind of relationship is a bit like the relationship between gods bestowing magic on priests, but the true god will not give a mortal arbitrarily powerful power, and seldom personally intervene directly in the mortal world. Mortals who want to take shortcuts can only hope that those who are not The alien existence of the gods bypasses the established laws of the world and embarks on this road full of thorns."

Seeing this, Aaron understood a little bit.

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is a price to be paid for taking shortcuts. Most of the time, the relationship between gods and believers is similar to that of legally protected partners. protected by the law.

The relationship between the warlock and the suzerain is similar to that of a slave, in that the warlock sells himself to the suzerain for the ability to cast spells.

Most of the divine spells released by a priest don't have a great impact on his body, but if a sorcerer uses a lot of the suzerain's power, his body and soul will gradually mutate, and gradually become an existence similar to the suzerain.

Aaron continued to look down.

The book emphasizes that all magicians are not necessarily evil, and there are also good magicians who are chosen by the suzerain by chance, so the relationship between some magicians and the suzerain is a relationship of strong confrontation, and the warlocks continue to try to break away from the suzerain Control, the suzerain is constantly trying to strengthen control, this kind of cat-and-mouse game between the two sides may have accompanied the magician all his life.

The relationship between a very small number of magicians and suzerains is similar to that of masters and apprentices, idol fans, or even lovers.

It's just that most magicians are slaves who surrender for power and sign a contract.

The main type of the suzerain of the wizard is the demon: the devil of hell or the devil of the abyss, they occupy the largest proportion, more than all other types combined.

Then there are the Old Ones, Supreme Elves, Celestial Creatures, Immortal Abominations, Shadow Fallen, Deep Sea Giant Monsters, Elemental Giants, Undead Kings, and so on.

Aaron thought to himself that apart from the supreme elf, the elemental genie, which is neutral and the celestial beings, which are kind, the others can be roughly known to be evil by just looking at their names.

He didn't look at the other content any more, but focused on the column of the old rulers.

The suzerains of the Old Ones include Ghannad the Lurker, Sarrizdon the Bound God, Zagon the Returner, Cthulhu the Great Dominator, Azathoth the Blind and Idiot God, etc...

Why are all the gags here? ? ?
Aaron couldn't help but complain.

Forget it, since I can travel through it myself, it seems that there is nothing strange about the appearance of the restraint system.

The biggest difference between the suzerain of the old days ruler and other suzerains is that these indescribable supreme beings outside the stars basically do not give guidance or orders to warlocks. Warlocks are relatively free, but because these existences are constantly passing on With incomprehensible extra-dimensional knowledge and unspeakable thought echoes, it is only a matter of time before the magician is driven crazy, and he basically lives less than half of his normal lifespan.

Warlocks who can sign contracts with the Great Old Ones are all masters of the occult.

Almost, Aaron closed the book, he began to think, and a strange idea gradually appeared in his mind:

Look at my face, can I be the suzerain of sorcerers?

I am the son of chaos, the owner of the four powers of the four gods of chaos, can I, like other suzerains, sign contracts with mortals and distribute power to them, so as to cultivate a team that is loyal to me?

how?Demons can do it, celestial creatures can do it, elemental genies can do it, but I, the son of chaos, can't do it?

Although I am not a Primarch and cannot create my own space warrior legion, it shouldn't be a problem when I continue to unlock the power of the four gods and upgrade a few demon princes, right?

This matter is still a long-term plan for Aaron, who is currently weak, but Aaron feels that he can write it down now.

The future can be expected, the future can be expected.

Aaron closed the book. He also wanted to find books about magic, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it.

There are not many books on magic in the Salian family's collection, and the family has never been known as a spellcaster.

It seems that I need to find some time to look in the royal library. There should be books explaining the power and magic of the gods, but the question is where can I find a warlock mentor?

If you ask the royal family or the great nobles to help you find a mentor, it is a great favor, and Aaron does not want to owe such a great favor.

While the Viscount was pacing in the study, thinking about what to do next, he inadvertently glanced at the scenery in his garden under the window.

He was stunned for a moment.

Eleanor Dinefour of the Flower of the Sunken Sea, the priest of Suren of the Silver Virgin, is standing in the garden downstairs!
Following the afterglow of the setting sun, the crimson sunset glow fell on the small garden in front of the door. In the short cobblestone path, Eleanor stood under the vines of Salian's house, quietly watching the mansion near the palace.

There is no mask on her delicate, holy and pure face, her face is like a bright moon, her face is like a silver star, there is a little hesitation in her sapphire blue eyes, a pair of golden crescent eyebrows are not as sharp as before, and her rosy lips are slightly pursed. At the same time, the golden waterfall-like hair fell smoothly and neatly from the back of her head.

Miss Pastor is wearing a knee-length dress of silvery moon silk silk inlaid with gold embroidered stamens. Her fingers are slender, and a pair of white and jade-like wrists are exposed from the long silk sleeves of the dress. The sleeves made of gold silk add a lot of sanctity to the pair of flawless lotus arms. On the jade neck is the pendant of the small bottle containing the blue hair, which sets off the delicate and sexy collarbone, and the silver moon embroidery On the knee-length skirt is the pattern of lisianthus flower stamens. Although the neckline looks looser, the full pride still bulges it up a lot, and reveals a little ravine between the canyons.

I didn't expect Eleanor to hide very deeply!Aaron thought to himself, usually wearing armor does not feel that Miss Priest is also expected!
Why didn't she knock on the door?

Aaron didn't think much, he went downstairs immediately and opened the door: "Miss Eleanor? Welcome! Welcome to Salian House, my home."

"Ah! Why are you here?!" Miss Priest, who was struggling, was startled when the door opened suddenly, and couldn't help but lose her voice.

"..." Aaron squinted at Miss Pastor, and pointed to the house number.

"Well... sorry, it's mainly me too... I don't want to be like this, they must make me dress like this!" Eleanor also realized what a shameful mistake she had made. Immediately, the red sunset glowed, reflecting each other with the setting sun in the distance.

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and finally she couldn't continue.

She doesn't want to dress like this either!But after she went to the Church of Our Lady of Silver in Suzar and handed over Ms. Silver Star's letter, the priestess of the church branch took out this suit and asked her to wear it, and learned that she was going to visit Aaron's house together. After dinner, without any explanation, I took all the clothes she had changed to wash!
The clothes have been washed, so you can wear this set, it's a gift from Ms. Silver Star.

Eleanor couldn't argue. Seeing that the time was approaching, she, who had always had the virtue of being punctual, could only wear this suit to the banquet.

The pastor was so wronged that she was about to cry.

Are you people believers of the Silver Virgin?How could you cheat me like this!
Doesn't it look like... doesn't it look like I'm trying to please him?

In fact, if Aaron hadn't seen it, Miss Pastor would probably continue to struggle until someone found her.

"No, don't keep looking!" Seeing that Aaron was still staring at her unscrupulously, Eleanor finally became a little annoyed, and she subconsciously reached out to touch her waist.

This man can't do without knocking!

Hey, where's my Warhammer?

Only then did Miss Priest remember that her hand of Warhammer Moon was placed in the church.

Well!What to do? What to do? What to do?
Eleanor, who didn't have a hammer in her hand, was completely panicked.

Aaron's big hand was just right in front of her, and the handsome and charming man's face was full of seriousness: "Very very very welcome, Miss Eleanor, you are so beautiful tonight!"

"..." The pastor's face was flushed, she carefully confirmed that Aaron's expression was serious and not hypocritical, and finally gave up the idea of ​​running away.

"Hi, excuse me." Under Aaron's guidance, Eleanor, who was wearing a pair of white shallow-cut lace-up high heels and walked a little shaky, stepped into the door of Salian's house.

"Welcome, very welcome!" Aunt Mei Li was the first to come out, this middle-aged woman was very familiar, she directly held Eleanor's shoulders with both hands: "Oh, the Virgin of Silver, Ellie Nuo, my little angel, you are really getting more and more beautiful!"

"Hello, Ms. Mei Li, hello, Mr. Lothar." Miss Pastor greeted warmly, she forced herself to hold back her embarrassment, feeling her face was burning hot.

It's weird and shameful to look without a mask...

They are all acquaintances, but... there is always an indescribable feeling, and it is still in front of this guy and his family... But their family has worshiped the Silver Virgin for generations, I can't...

Feeling that Ms. Mei Li was holding her by the shoulder, she habitually began to ask her parents if she had a boyfriend. Eleanor, helpless, quickly looked at Aaron for help.

"Okay, Auntie, this is Eleanor's first visit to Salian House, she won't be used to your enthusiasm." Aaron immediately came out to rescue Miss Pastor, and Aunt Mei Li let go of her hands when she saw this.

Without being touched, Eleanor immediately became more natural. Unlike getting along with Aaron, Eleanor put on a bright and bright smile, and enthusiastically asked her aunt and uncle how her body was. In the recent situation of cousin Uta, she performed a little trick, conjuring a bright lisianthus flower from her hand and inserting it on the little girl's head, making her giggle and correcting her prayer gestures.

The scene quickly came under her control.

Damn, is this my house or yours?
Aaron couldn't calm down now.

Miss Priest also gave him a provocative look just right.

Now the rhythm is in my hands!
"Miss Eleanor, this is your first visit to my house. There is still some time before dinner. Let me show you around?" Aaron decided to take the initiative.

"That's right, we are all old people, don't disturb the young people's communication." Aunt Mei Li was so shrewd, she immediately followed up, and at the same time hit Lothair's waist with an extremely precise elbow.

"Yeah, dinner will take a while, Eleanor, you can visit here with Aaron." Uncle Lothair said while enduring the pain, while holding his daughter.

Aaron gave Eleanor the same arrogant look.

this is my house!

Tsk, seeing that the situation is over, Miss Pastor had no choice but to return a fierce look.

Two wins out of three!

————I am the dividing line of two wins in three rounds———

Pay respects with Eleanor in front of the small shrine of Su Lun on the first floor, and the pastor followed Aaron to the study.

She really seldom came to noble houses, so she couldn't help feeling novelty. She followed Aaron and looked around, only thinking that although Salian's family had fallen, they were still very rich!
No wonder the priests and paladins who came into contact with the Church of the Three Gods of Justice occasionally hated these nobles!

snort!If the Salian family hadn't recognized the gods correctly, I wouldn't have given him a good face!

Miss Pastor thought so in her heart, but in fact Aaron showed her a very pleasant tour.

This Lord Viscount is eloquent and possesses charisma. Eleanor only finds it very pleasant to listen to him.

Of course, Aaron also took this opportunity to secretly look at Miss Pastor.

Under the knee-length skirt with embroidered stamens, two slender and delicate jade legs are straight together. The thin skirt is slightly pressed over the knees. The white and tender legs are as smooth and symmetrical as silk satin and extend to the ankles. The ankles are crystal clear, and two jade feet are worn in a pair of white fish mouth laces. A few toes are slightly protruding, plump, tender, delicate and well-proportioned, which makes people want to find out. There are patterns of silver stars on both sides of the chest, enveloping Eleanor's pair of jade feet.

Miss Pastor's beautiful and graceful figure swayed slightly in front of Aaron's eyes. She was obviously not used to walking in high heels, and her delicate and small ankles were swaying, as if they were about to break at any time.

It's just that something is missing, Aaron, who was secretly admiring in his heart, thought with regret.

Eleanor naturally sensed Aaron's gaze. Miss Priest was annoyed but couldn't find any reason to criticize him, so she pointed to a giant tapestry in front of her and asked, "Is this your family tree?"

"Yes." Aaron raised his head now,

In front of them hung a huge eight-meter-long and four-meter-high tapestry, on which the long inheritance of the Salian family was drawn, and each name represented a piece of past history.

The ancestors of the Salian family can be traced back to the marriage of Countess Ostracy, the daughter of the third-generation descendant of the Ondas-Obeschiel family, the first king of Cormyr, to the local nobles to obtain the title of earl. Among the ancestors, Liudolf was the most famous. He obtained a fief with his military exploits and pioneering achievements, and the concept of the Salian family was truly formed.

"I can't find your name." Eleanor searched directly at the end of the tapestry, but couldn't find Aaron's name: "I can't find your father's either."

"Mine? My name is here." Aaron couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He pointed to the last place of the tapestry, which was obviously burned by fire: "Here, my name and my father's name are all He burned it with fire."

"Why?" Eleanor obviously didn't understand.

"Because we are all useless and unworthy of the surname Salian. He thinks my existence and his are insulting our family name." Aaron snorted and sneered a few times.

"I always feel that he is not that kind of person." Eleanor recalled Aaron's parents: "He was always so upright, so polite, so humble, and so full of compassion in front of people."

"People often have two faces, just like you, Miss Eleanor." Aaron approached from behind and whispered in Eleanor's ear: "It's like when you face my family, you have two faces. It's completely different when you face me!"

"That's just because of them..." Eleanor felt the pleasant smell blowing in her ears, and Miss Priest blushed by Aaron's intimate movements, and she tried to defend herself.

"You don't need to say, I understand." Aaron stared deeply at Eleanor with his sky-blue handsome eyes, and said softly, "I'm very happy that you treat me like this, really."

"If you treat me like you treat my aunts and uncles, then I will be sad. This shows that you don't really regard me as your own, as a like-minded partner, as the touchee of the Silver Virgin, and treat me as your own. as a true friend."

"I'm very happy, you allow yourself to show your true self in front of me, dear Eleanor, in the future, I still hope that we can get along like this, with ease, and show our true self, is that okay?"

boom!
Aaron's words were like a huge battering hammer, hitting Miss Pastor's heart.

He understands me!
