Chaos Crown

Chapter 253, plot against Bilak
PS: Today is the third update, this is the first update!
Aaron woke up from the dream. He lifted the quilt and found that he was sweating all over his body.

Tick ​​tock~tick tock~tick tock~
Dark red raindrops dripped on Aaron's chest, and blood flowed down from his nostrils, leaving plum blossom marks on Aaron's clothes.

"Bilak..." Aaron wiped the blood off his nose with his hands, and he performed a cleansing technique on himself with heavenly magic, and he has never been sleepy since.

Aaron didn't know how Belak crossed the crystal wall system and came to the kingdom from the end of the infinite universe. What he knows now is that he is in trouble, or in big trouble.

Don't look at Belak who is always ridiculed as "never chosen", "13 family slaves", "defeatist strategist", "toy of the four gods of chaos", but that is against the primarch, star god, legendary heroes of various races, war For the head of the team.

For Aaron, Bilak is currently an enemy he can't fight against. As the original demon prince, Bilak is also a relatively weak god-like power. Aaron himself is not even a legend.

How to fight this?
Pushing open the window, it rained heavily outside the hotel room. The rain covered every corner of sight like a curtain, shrouding the world in an unclear mist, and pressing deeply on Aaron's heart.

If Belak was waiting for him in Myth Drannor, then his trip would be very, very dangerous.

Do you want to give up?

Aaron wondered what he should do.

The current favorable news is that from the time when Bilak lured him to appear until the two sides broke off contact, Bilak was either restricted or did not know his specific location, otherwise the Shadow King would not be able to use this method to lure him. Instead, it should appear directly in front of him, just like Be'lak manipulated Archaon and his previous series of Everchosen.

The second question, if he wants to deal with Bilak, what means do he have?

Aaron thought about it, and he realized that he was really not powerless in the face of Bilak.

First of all, Aaron has got rid of the burden brought by the last golden rule transformation. Facing Bilak, even if he has no chance of defeating him, but relying on Draconian, he should not be taken by Bilak with one move. next?
Secondly, I still have the high-level dragon covenant of the powerful dragon on my body.

What Aaron was referring to was not the covenant with the great dragon. That's right, Egil is a legendary dragon species. Only the young dragon has just entered the legend and already knows the eight-ring magic. Her strength is not enough to face Bilak.

Aaron was referring to using the High Dragon Covenant to call upon the older and more powerful Force Dragons from the Outer Planes to aid in the battle.

This trick is very powerful. Based on the level signed by Aaron, he should be able to easily summon old power dragons or even ancient power dragons. These giant dragons can be said to be afraid of no one except the real gods. With supernatural power, facing a group of divine dragons will certainly not be beneficial.

But the problem is coming.

How much does it cost?

According to Elminster's information, there are many powerful people in the country who have signed covenants with various giant dragons, but they have never used this method of summoning giant dragons very often, the reason is very simple.

too expensive.

The fee for a giant dragon above adulthood is astonishing. Even if they don’t do anything, at least they start with five-figure gold coins. ?

Then to the level of the ancient dragon or even the ancient dragon, the appearance fee directly starts at six figures (maybe seven figures), and the six-figure to seven-figure money and the commission paid by Ms. Raul will be kept by the local commission It is different for soldiers to consume and participate in the economic cycle. The consumption desire of giant dragons is approximately equal to 0. They often take the money and run away. The amount is large. The loss of a large amount of money transaction is not only permanent, but may even cause the Gold reserves fell sharply.

Can not afford?
Immediately in Aaron's mind, the great dragon Egil pointed at himself with his dragon claw excitedly.

"Father, I want that! Yes, I want him!"

Aaron didn't plan to use this path unless it was an absolute last resort.

Finally... Aaron took out a scroll from his body. The pattern of hammer and anvil was branded on the surface of the scroll, and the power of thunder rolled and surged within the scroll.

The gift of the dwarf god-king Moradin, the scroll of the thundering spell, was delivered to Aaron by the dwarf master craftsman Kimmgon Fireweave.

This is what Aaron kept at the bottom of the box. Tearing this scroll can cast a spell that is equivalent to a full-strength shot of the dwarf god king Moradin.

This scroll can protect Aaron once, but only once.

However, reminded by this scroll, Aaron thought of another way.

At this time, you must not retreat. Once you retreat, not only will Bilak know exactly his whereabouts, but it is even more likely to bring trouble to other people, to his own territory, and to Cormyr.

On the contrary, Myth Drannor's complex terrain, dangerous monsters, terrifying environment and mixed forces can provide Aaron with a lot of benefits. It depends on how he operates.

When Bilak first came to the kingdom, he didn't know many things. This was his own advantage. He should take the initiative to try to solve the threat of Bilak once and for all.

Fortunately, I have awakened and now have a good relationship with some kind-hearted gods.

He begins to pray:
Lord Silvermoon, your child is in trouble.

I need your help!
His prayers were quickly answered.

"My child~"

…………

A day later, under the leadership of Sandra the harpist, Aaron and Anoming came to the Valley of Shadows.

The son of Pasha from Calinshan insisted on going to Comanthor. Even though Sandra repeatedly persuaded that the Comanthor forest was very dangerous, Anuomin was still very firm. This guy didn’t want to reveal his surname, but he didn’t enforce his morals. Kidnapping Aaron, he saw that his request was not accepted by Aaron, so he asked if he could at least send him to Shadow Valley.

Harpist Sandra agreed to the request, and the three of them arrived in the Valley of Shadows together, which is the residence of the great sage Elminster.

Shadow Valley is located in the agricultural area of ​​the valley in the north of the country. The earliest recorded history here is the rule of the drow elves. After enslaving the humans here, the group of black elves built a twisted tower and let the slaves work on the ground. It is located in the dark area to monitor here.

After that, the mage Ashaba led the enslaved people who were mainly humans to try to overthrow the rule of the drow elves, and he also got the honor of naming the Twisted Tower and the River of Shadow Valley with his own name.

It seems that because of this reason, the residents of Shadow Valley hate drow-like power rule very much. The lords of Shadow Valley are often elected by the residents, and compared with local residents, Shadow Valley people obviously prefer to invite "outsiders" To serve as their lords, they believe that only those outlanders who have been tested, solved problems for the people of Shadowvale, and earned their respect will sincerely serve them.

It is worth mentioning that the previous lord of Shadow Valley had some relationship with Cormyr. As a member of the royal family of Cormyr, Omri Obeszier was invited to serve as the lord. After 39 years in office, he was finally killed by an assassin. His wife, Helen Silverhand, one of the Seven Sisters of the Northland, was briefly regent as the lord's wife until Shadow Valley invited Kelben Orosan, the "Black Rod" of Waterdeep City, to A new lord, Florin - Silverhand.

Yep, another silver hand.

Aaron can only say that the private life of the second-generation Goddess of Magic is a bit too open. She has left many descendants in the country and has had intimate relationships with many mortals. She bestowed silver fire on them. After joining the WTO, voters left a large number of blood to form a network of relationships, forming a political entity with huge influence.

No wonder there are rumors that Elminster is the mastermind behind Waterdeep.

In the previous life, a well-known stalk of the second-generation Goddess of Magic was "The seeds of cloth in the world!".

The Shadow Valley in late autumn is not as lively as expected. Asaba passing through the canyon irrigates the fields on both sides of the valley. The valley is covered by forests, and the sunlight is very weak here. The town of more than 1 people is not even a decent place. the fence.

"We have El, we have Helen, and we have Storm-Silver Hand, what kind of wall do you want?"

——What people in Shadow Valley like to brag about when they are drunk.

Elminster's residence is called "The Tower of Elminster", but from the outside, it is just a small villa with two floors and a garden. During the turbulent years, Benn once personally Leading the Zhentarim's assault here in an attempt to wrest the power of the Silverfire and the Weave, Elminster miraculously repelled Bane's Avatar of the Sage.

Aaron knocked on the door, and a young and neatly dressed magic apprentice opened the door: "What's the matter?"

"Thank you for reporting, Aaron Salian, Minister of Cormyr's Guards, Champion Knight of Obesthir, Hero of the Zilong Pavilion, Viscount of the Sunset Collar, Chosen of the Silver Lady, and leader of the Arabel Five Heroes, came to see Ilmins Your Excellency Te-Omar."

A puzzled look appeared on the magic apprentice's face: "It's so long, I can't remember such a long title, can you be more concise?"

"Pfft~" Both Sandra and An Nuoming couldn't help smiling, the Windchaser laughed the loudest, while An Nuoming held back his laughter and moved his face away.

"...You can just say that Aaron came to pay a return visit." After Aaron's probing, he had some understanding of the character of the Shadow Valley people.

It seems that people here really hate these things.

"The great sage is not here. A few days ago, he said that he would go outside to take a look." The magic apprentice shook his head: "The great sage sometimes goes for several years. Only Lord Storm-Silver Hand can occasionally contact him."

Elminster's absence made Aaron return disappointed, but he didn't have too much hope for Elminster. At this age, this old guy doesn't like to cause trouble and doesn't like to take action himself. Lun will come to see him more because he wants to know "how to deal with a god-like power"?
Without seeing Elminster, Aaron didn't even want to visit Storm-Silver Hand: "Take me into the Comanthor Great Forest."

"I'm only responsible for bringing you to Myth Drannor." Sandra had no objection.

At this moment, An Nuoming finally spoke again. He walked up to Aaron and bowed: "Your Excellency Aaron, I solemnly beg you here, can you do me a favor?"

"Would you help me fetch a bottle of water from the pool of Grylair in Myth Drannor?"

An Nuoming took out an ordinary ruby ​​from nowhere and sent it to Aaron: "This is my request for a lifetime! Please, this ruby ​​is worth at least 200 gold coins in the market. As your reward, is it okay?"

Aaron didn't pick up the ruby, he frowned: "You have to tell me why? Why do you show up here with such low strength? Why did you come here after so much trouble, just want a bottle of water?"

Seeing that Aaron didn't answer, An Nuoming pouted his lips in embarrassment, and reluctantly turned his head away: "I can't, is it just a simple transaction?"

"No."

"Okay." The son of Calinshan's pasha was finally forced to reveal the truth: "It all started with my mother's strange illness."

As the son of Pasha, An Nuoming's status in the family is not high. A few months ago, his mother had a serious illness. It was a very strange disease. His father sent a doctor to look at it and said it was a strange disease. Curses, drugs and spells have no effect.

In Calimshan, women were considered property and had a low status, and each pasha was allowed to marry four wives, and many more concubines.

In order to save his mother, An Nuoming asked for help everywhere, and a ghost responded to him.

The eccentric spook said: Give me a bottle of water from the pool of Gryleril in Myth Drannor, and I'll save your mother.

An Nuoming came, even though he was weak, and even though he had no actual combat experience, he still came.

"So, all the reasons for your appearance here are just to save your mother?" Aaron pondered for a while, thinking of his parents who died in battle, and then said softly: "I just want a bottle from Greyler Is the water in the pond? Are there any other conditions for the gods and monsters?"

"No, it just wants a bottle of water from the pool of Glileril in the ruins of Myth Drannor, that's all. As long as the water is taken from there, it says that no matter what the water is, it will cast spells to save the mother."

"Okay then." Aaron looked at An Nuoming's expression and thought that this matter should not be fake.

Men's acting ability is naturally much lower than that of women. Without special practice, it is almost impossible for a man in his twenties to have the acting skills to fool Aaron. This is the first time An Nuoming has come out to take risks. If he is so good If he has no acting ability, then he will not be reduced to the present situation.

Save the mother, no matter in any era and in any background, it is a display of the brilliance of humanity. This subject will always have endless stories and good stories to tell.

"Thank you so much!" An Nuoming immediately handed the ruby ​​to Aaron, who was about to cry with excitement: "Please accept it!"

Aaron didn't take it: "Put it away, son of Pasha, you need it more than I do."

"Finally, let me confirm again. Do you really just want a bottle of water? If the spirit monster says no, I will explain in advance that I will not take responsibility."

"Yes, yes, as long as it's from the pool! I've asked three times."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Aaron agreed to this little request and asked Anuoming to wait here.

Everything is ready.

He looked towards the dark, deep, and endless fantasy forest of Cormanthor in the eastern part of the Valley of Shadows.

So, here it goes.
