Chaos Crown

Chapter 30, Choose Your Knight Mentor
In the Red Scarf restaurant, Aaron and Kayneth sat opposite each other. Although there were only two of them, there were sixteen dishes on the table.

Baldur's Gate gin was contained in a chilled crystal glass, Duke Kayneth took out an envelope and pressed it on the table, and handed it to Aaron: "Take it."

"This is..." Aaron opened the envelope, his pupils dilated slightly.

Inside is a golden ticket!
With this golden ticket, he can exchange it for 1000 gold coins directly in any Church of God of Fortune, Ms. Joy, and Craftsman throughout the country!

The currency of the country is very, very, very complicated. As far as the north of the country is concerned, there are six currencies.

Platinum coins—gold coins—silver gold coins—silver coins—silver copper coins—copper coins.

Its exchange rate is not fully fixed either.

在科米尔，货币的本地名称分别是：1三冠（铂金币）=10金狮（金币）=20蓝眼（银金币）=100隼（银币）=1000拇指（铜币），银铜币在这个国家没有铸造。

The quality of currency in different places is different, and the exchange rate is also different. Among them, Silvermoon City often mints some special large-value currencies to disrupt the market, making the currency system in the northern part of the country very chaotic. At the same time, large-value transactions will inevitably appear. The case of excess currency.

This is inconsistent with Ms. Fortune's vision of breaking down all barriers to trade and making the economy of the entire country fully mobile.

So Ms. Fortune invented this kind of "golden ticket". Each golden ticket has a trace of Ms. Fortune's divine power attached to it. Merchants use the golden ticket to trade, which greatly facilitates transportation, simplifies the process, and greatly contributes to the country's trade and Currency circulation has played a very positive role.

So where did Ms. Fortune go?
"Your Highness, this..." Aaron tested the Duke's meaning.

1000 gold coins!

Not a lot, and not a little.

What Kayneth wanted was his reaction, His Royal Highness smiled with satisfaction: "I am old with your grandfather and father, back then... I didn't do anything, this is a little gift from me, you can't Refuse, keep it, I know there should be some remaining wealth, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, armor and weapons in Salian House, but now is the time for you to do big things, you should need a sum of cash, right?"

"Thank you very much, Your Highness, may the Holy Mother of Silver bless you." Aaron immediately got up, put the gold ticket in his arms, and thanked earnestly.

He does need a sum of cash.

If he still couldn't see what Duke Kayneth meant, he wouldn't be sitting here.

"Use it well." Kayneth was even more satisfied when he saw that Aaron accepted it without the slightest hesitation.

Manuel had a wonderful son.

If Kayneth wanted to, he could give Aaron a [-] golden ticket, but it is not necessary, a proper favor is enough, the important thing is to make him remember himself.

As the meal drew to a close, Aaron remembered that all his former clansmen had been exiled to Guangze, where Duke Kayneth was in charge of the war zone, so he asked casually, "Your Highness, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." Duke Kayneth was a soldier after all, he cut the steak with a knife and fork, and motioned for Aaron to ask questions.

"What is the reason why my family was taken away?" Aaron finally asked his long-standing doubts.

"Didn't your father tell you?"

"No, he didn't even let me mention it, but I want to know." Aaron said in a deep voice, "People can't always live with burdens on their backs."

Duke Kayneth put down the knife and fork, and his amber lion-like pupils flashed with remembrance and displeasure. Seeing Aaron's firm attitude, he nodded.

"Your grandfather, Earl Salian, fled the battle."

"Huh?" Aaron was stunned.

"Accurately speaking, it should be greedy for credit and underestimating the enemy, and then fleeing because of fear." Duke Kayneth talked about the Tukan invasion.

"Our army fought against the Tucan nomadic army. The Salian family and the Spoleto family were in charge of the northwest. At that time, the Earl of Salian was passive and avoided the battle and was unwilling to use his full strength. The heroic and loyal Earl of Spoleto saw that your grandfather was afraid of the battle. , It is proposed that he fight against the nomads first, and the Salian army ambushes at the mouth of the valley and then attacks from both sides."

"Your grandfather agreed to this plan, so Count Spoleto attacked. The nomadic vanguard saw Count Spoleto's aggressiveness and wanted to fight desperately. The momentum was suppressed and the first day of the battle was unfavorable. Back, Count Spoleto won a small victory. "

"As a result, Earl Salian, who was ambushing at the mouth of the valley, learned that Earl Spoleto's lone army had actually won the victory. In order to compete for military merit, he could not care about anything, and immediately ordered the army to attack and abandoned the original plan."

"Count Spoleto only defeated the vanguard of the Tucans, and soon the army of nomads arrived. Count Spoleto was defeated and retreated, trying to lure the Tucans to the valley as planned."

"As a result, your grandfather got the news of Count Spoleto's defeat and the approach of the nomadic army. Count Salian, who had already left the valley, fled with fear and threw Count Spoleto to the nomads."

"The Count of Spoleto withdrew to the mouth of the valley. The valley was empty. Facing the siege of the Tucans, more than 3800 people under the whole army fought hard for eight hours and all died in battle, including the count, his three sons and two daughters. There are also almost all collateral relatives, and this 800-year-old family is extinct."

Aaron: "..."

Thanks, already starting to get annoyed.

"You probably can't imagine how angry His Majesty the late king was when he heard the news. It was the first time I saw him so angry." Duke Kayneth looked away, flipping the silver knife and fork with his hands: "Only you His father served His Majesty as a purple dragon knight and did not participate in the whole process, so His Majesty did not punish your little family."

"So did my grandfather go to the guillotine?" Aaron was speechless, no wonder his father kept this matter secret.

Isn't this too deceitful?
"The nobles were seized, hanged, and the whole body was left. Except for you and your father, all the rest of the Sally Security Department were exiled to Guangze, and their surnames were stripped. Your Majesty's original words are that they are not worthy."

The Duke of Kayneth played with the tableware, his amber eyes gradually softened: "I am willing to tell you this because I hope you can learn from it. The past is also in the past. You have received the punishment you deserve, you are Viscount Salian, you should not bear those heavy pasts."

"Your Highness, I have a request."

"Say."

"Guangze is now under your rule, can you give me a list of exiled clansmen?"

"...I'll have someone bring it to you later." Duke Kayneth took a deep look at Aaron: "But, you can't tell others!"

"Also, I will leave Suzar in three days and return to the territory. The last Salian, I can only and will only help you here."

"This year, your age is a little too old for both the caster and the way of the purple dragon knight. You need to fulfill your talent, kid."

"If the eaglet cannot learn to spread its wings, it will never be able to fly."

————I can’t tell others the dividing line———

The previous assassination of Aaron caused chaos in the city, and Duke Kayneth also sent three guards to his door.

There are more guards patrolling the streets, and Queen's Blade is prowling around.

When I got home, only my aunt and my cousin were there. My aunt just bought some cod from the market. She was going to make cod soup tonight. My cousin Uta was playing happily. Seeing Aaron came back, he gave back to his cousin. Called, asked him if he brought himself a gift.

Aaron couldn't laugh or cry, he was going to meet the princess, not go shopping!

Thinking that he only had six months, he was in a bad mood and just dealt with his cousin casually.

"Sister Eleanor has come." Uta said suddenly.

"Oh? When?" Aaron suddenly recovered.

"She came in the morning. Cousin, you were not there at that time. Sister Eleanor asked if you were hurt. I told my sister that you were fine. She stayed for a while and left." Uta pointed her fingers: "Also, Sister Eleanor wants me to tell you that she has recently received a commission from a church, and she will not be able to return until three or four weeks ago, so she told her cousin to pay attention to herself."

"Understood." Aaron thought to himself that Miss Pastor actually came to say goodbye to him, but he was not here, and it would be at least three weeks before the next meeting.

"Cousin, when will you invite Sister Eleanor to play at home again?" Cousin Uta asked with her eyes open.

"When Sister Eleanor comes back, my cousin will invite you in person." Aaron smiled and touched Uta's head: "Go and play, cousin still has something to do."

Back in the study, Aaron sat down and took out three rolls of parchment.

He is going to choose a mentor for himself.

According to the information given by the princess, there are currently three Knight Commanders and above in the Purple Dragon Knights who are willing to serve as his mentors.

The first one is Knight Commander Grafni, a female purple dragon flag officer, about 30 years old. It is said that Aaron was seen by her when he went to the Knights Fortress to write a report that day. She expressed her willingness to become Aaron’s knight tutor.

Aaron just glanced at it and PASSed.

Because according to the information, she just divorced her husband...

He went to the Purple Dragon Knights to receive knight training in order to improve his skills and improve his strength to hone himself, not to rely on his own face to gain relationships!It is not what he wants if the relationship between the master and the apprentice is not clear and it will end up in a mess!

And this face value is not too good~
The parchment was thrown aside by him directly.

There are actually only two candidates that can be considered.

The first one is Lucian Buckman, the flag officer who visited once before. He is an old friend of his father and has a master level of strength.

However, the flag officer Lucian is a very, very strict person. In his hands, almost half of the apprentice knights failed the assessment. Lucian never cared about the assessment standards.

The 21-year-old paladin who saved him, Sir Leonard, who could unleash such a powerful Holy Slash, has not yet passed Lucian's test to become an official knight.

I only have six months, one chance, can I do it?

Aaron twitched the corner of his mouth, and he put Lucian's information aside first.

The second is also an acquaintance, Ian Hutson, the great mentor and chief inspector of the Purple Dragon Knights.

Yes, even though Ian tried his best to ridicule him that day, the great mentor and chief inspector also offered to be his knight mentor, which also confirmed Aaron's guess - he deliberately used mean words that day. The sarcasm tested him to make sure he was not traumatized.

Choose Ian Hartson as your mentor?

Ian has many advantages over Lucian.

First of all, his rank is high. The Great Instructor and Chief Inspector are several positions in the knight order, second only to the supreme commander. A high status means more resources.

Secondly, Ian's strength is also strong. As a master-level powerhouse, Ian's strength is definitely one or two levels stronger than Lucian.

In the end, Ian has always been very lenient in the assessment, and the failure rate is only about 20%. As long as the standard can be met, he will give him a pass.

But this guy's character is really bad.

As the Great Inspector General and in charge of logistics property, Ian Hutson has already formed serious professional habits over the long years.

When a purple dragon knight dies in battle, some people will feel sorry, some will cry, and some will secretly rejoice.

Ian Hutson's first reaction was to calculate how much the pension should be paid, and where he could pay less.

Seeing a beautiful woman in high heels passing by on the street, some people will appreciate it, some will whistle, and some will pretend to be serious.

Ian Hutson's first reaction was "This woman's ankle is so fragile, it will break with a little force, level 25 disability, [-]% disconnection rate, how much should I pay, how can I find a solution Reject this order."

Thinking like this for a long time has already distorted Ian's way of thinking and speaking, and he uttered vicious words. He used his set of claim logic to calculate the value of everything, and devalued anyone and everything as much as possible. In his mouth, everything is worthless, the difference is only worthless garbage and worthless garbage.

Aaron knew that Ian might really think about him sometimes, but with his way of speaking, Aaron could bear it for a few days, and it would take six months to get along... He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself Fighting with the mentor, and then being rubbed on the ground by Ian.

He is a warlock!Warlocks should have a temper!
After sitting quietly for a while, Aaron finally made a decision.

face the challenge!

Six months is six months!
Am I a child of chaos?How can you impact the legend if you are afraid of the front and the future?How to apotheosis?

Can't even pass a small test of the princess, what qualifications do I have to be the suzerain of the magician, what qualifications do I have to face those four good brothers?
If you only want to pass the test and don't want to learn something real, what kind of waste is this?
Dry!Aaron slapped the wall.

Just do what you said, and the next morning, Aaron came to the fortress of the Purple Dragon Knights again with the official letter.

As always, the gate is closed, and the guard said that shooting training is going on inside, please go through the side door.

"Boy over there! Don't move!"

As soon as he entered the side door, Aaron immediately found a good position according to his memory and stood there. Immediately, he heard someone shouting towards him. The voice came from the side of the door. He just turned around and saw a person wearing The purple dragon knight in armor and vest was aiming at himself with a crossbow!
"Don't move!" the guy yelled again.

Aaron didn't listen to him, he swayed around on purpose, and his charisma was particularly striking at this moment.

"I told you not to move!" the shooter yelled angrily, but Aaron seemed to be attracted by the fight in the training ground and moved back and forth.

"Damn it!" The archer was angry, he pulled the trigger, and the short crossbow shot across the air and passed Aaron's head. The viscount could feel the air rubbing against his hair, and he instinctively moved backwards. He tilted his neck and leaned forward under the instinct of maintaining balance, almost falling to the ground again and again.

The shooter ignored Aaron, who reloaded with great speed and aimed the crossbow at Aaron again as if Aaron were his prey.

Around the shooter, a group of apprentices were laughing, laughing at Aaron's embarrassing state.

As the Son of Chaos, how could Aaron endure this kind of humiliation, he got up from the ground, angrily pushed away the crowd and came in front of the shooter, the apprentices automatically made way for him because of Aaron's expression.

The shooter held a piece of thatch in his mouth. Seeing Aaron approaching aggressively, he put down his crossbow reluctantly: "I told you not to move, didn't you hear me?"

Aaron looked at his opponent. He had messy red hair, a pair of dead fish eyes looking at people with the white of his eyes, and his unruly face was facing Aaron. "The expression replied.

He was only wearing a warrior vest with scales, his muscular and muscular arms were full of streamlined muscles, and a pair of simple leg-fitting cropped pants were made of cheap linen material, and many places were slightly worn out.

"Hey! You are murdering!" Aaron reached out and grabbed his collar, and shouted in his face: "In the name of the Silver Virgin, does the shooting training of the Purple Dragon Knights have to use living people as targets? Is it?"

"Murder? What are you kidding? New here?" The shooter grabs Aaron's neckline instead: "Didn't I tell you to stand still? Are you deaf? What are you shaking while I'm aiming?" If you want to die, just say it! Go and stand there, and watch me shoot your head that is stupider than a groundhog!"

Aaron didn't even have to turn his head. He remembered that there were several targets hanging from the fortress wall about 30 meters away, with crossbow bolts stuck on them.

Almost all of them are ten rings, and a few crossbow arrows hit eight or nine rings.

"I can't believe you are stupider than a groundhog, newcomer, if I aimed at you, your head would have been pierced, I told you not to move!" The shooter spit out the thatch in his mouth, and Spit on the ground with a mouthful of saliva: "You are really retarded, newcomer, get out now, before I make up my mind to kill you, get out."

The archer pushed Aaron away, turned around, raised the crossbow, and aimed at the target behind Aaron.

Yes, that's it, Aaron nodded in his heart, this buddy is not very friendly, fine, it's just you!

"Very good, very good, so that's why you use live ammunition at will?" Aaron stretched out his hand to the long sword at his waist, and the Viscount provocatively said: "Sir, you committed first-degree murder, can you Confession? Oh no, I was just shooting the target, and he walked between me and the target by himself!"

Aaron's gestures are vivid.

There was real fire in the dead fish eyes of the shooter, and he didn't look at Aaron with the whites of his eyes this time: "Your Excellency, Viscount, tell me your name."

"Aaron-Salian." Aaron reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

"Disma." The shooter finally put down the hand crossbow, and he stretched his hands to his waist on both sides, on which hung a one-handed sword and a knife: "I know you, the last Salian, you will soon Just kiss my shoes, or I don't think you'll get out of here alive."

"And I want to be more merciful." Aaron showed the red Conrad ring on his right index finger: "You just need to kiss my ring."

At the same time, the sharp knife was unsheathed!
The battle is imminent!
