Chaos Crown

PS: Work hard to update, the next step is the plot of harem farming and improving personal strength, and a battle in the Shura field is ready to go.

"Aaron, you should come and see this."

In the depths of the Hurek forest, in the druid's sacred forest, the pastor lady signaled Aaron to come over to see her new discovery: "There are many people imprisoned in the druid's sacred forest!"

Aaron immediately followed Eleanor into the sacred forest. The priest group led by Miss Priest, the black eagle guards and others had already controlled the entire sacred forest.

The area of ​​the sacred forest is not very large, covering an area of ​​about 50 hectares, of which the area that truly belongs to the "sacred forest" is only about two hectares. The pillars of the third ring consist of 3 standing stones in the center, 9 standing stones in the second ring and 27 standing stones in the third ring.

Standing stones are a symbol of druids' enclosure of the "sacred forest". Druids like to use huge standing stones to express that they have considered this place as a "sacred forest".

"I remember Ms. Silver Star told me that there are two types of standing stones." Eleanor came to Aaron and pointed them out to Aaron: "They are magic standing stones and non-magic standing stones. Non-magic standing stones are just symbols of honor and enclosure, while magic standing stones can often play a role of guarding, teleportation, echoing, or suppressing volcanoes, floods, storms, and evil beasts."

"These standing stones seem to be non-magic standing stones." Eleanor pointed to the standing stones with a lot of druid patterns engraved on the surface, with a little envy on her face: "Living in such a place seems to be good?"

Hearing this, Aaron squeezed Miss Pastor's palm lightly and said nothing. Eleanor immediately gave him a blank look, and angrily led him to see the prisoners in the dungeon.

Both of them knew each other very well, to the point where they could understand each other without words.

Aaron didn't believe that Eleanor really wanted to live around the Sacred Forest. Miss Priest was used to the convenience of town life and the high quality of life provided by Aaron. It would be no problem to come to a place like Sacred Forest for a few days for vacation. If she really wanted to live here for a long time, like a Druid, she would manufacture most of her daily necessities and raise her own livestock. Eleanor couldn't say how long she could last.

Eleanor expressed her indignation at Aaron's distrust, and the pastor said viciously that I have lived a self-sufficient life. When I was a pastor at the open-air altar in Shenhai Town, I also lived in a dormitory and participated in childbirth every day!
Yes, but you can't go back now!Aaron teased with his eyes.

Is Eleanor still willing to return to the dormitory after getting used to the luxurious life of the Palace of Aquitaine?
The pastor was speechless, she didn't need to lie to Aaron, so she had to signal Aaron to leave quickly.

This guy knows how to bully me!Eleanor said that she has a little emotion.

Near the sacred forest is the dwelling of the druids. There exudes a very uncomfortable smell. Chaos corruption, bloody killings and shadows are mixed together. The decoration in the cave is relatively primitive. The floor is paved with huge stones. The ground is smooth and shiny. The furniture is also stone furniture and decorated with simple animal skins.

On the ten-meter-long stone table were some leftovers of uneaten food, and the tableware was very simple. It can be seen that this group of Holy Forest Army, or at least the extreme druids, lived very frugally. Apart from the necessary expenses, they never obtained any more benefits.

Passing through the hall, a really large cave appeared in front of Aaron and Eleanor. Warm water vapor was faintly emitted from the mountain excavated by the earth magic of the druids. A dozen rooms were scattered under the huge stone wall. Six hot spring pools gushed out with the heat of the earth, forming an internal circulation of hot spring water under the power of magic.

Eleanor couldn't walk as soon as she saw the hot spring pool here. Miss Pastor loved to take a bath. She was afraid of the cold. After fighting in the blizzard just now, Eleanor wanted to take a hot bath more than ever.

But no one knows if there is any problem with the water, Eleanor will not take risks, and dare not take risks.

She motioned for Aaron to follow her.

The other entrance of the hot spring cave goes down the stone steps, just like the crime and decay hidden under the glamorous skin of the nobles, there is also a dungeon hidden in the basement deep in the sacred forest. Many prisoners are locked in the stone prison and stuffy space, most of them are dead, and a few are still alive.

The soldiers outside were already preparing to cook porridge under Maximian's order. These people had obviously been hungry for a long time. Giving them dry food from the army at this time would easily lead to gastrointestinal problems. Maximian knew this. Some monks often fainted themselves in order to pursue the limits of their physiology and mind.

Among them was a tall and strong man dressed as a druid sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was also the only prisoner with a relatively good complexion. This man was covered with scars, not only between his eyebrows, but also his wrists, ankles, thighs, chest, abdomen and back.

"Are you the leader of this group of people?" The tall and strong man sat cross-legged on the ground, and he said to Aaron with a wry smile: "You look good, I prefer to believe that you are a nobleman of the kingdom, or a priest of the Church of Our Lady of Silver. Anyway, since you can come here, you must have defeated Daba, right? Is he still alive?"

The tall and strong men had a lot of problems, and Aaron decided not to accept his set: "I am Aaron Salian, Viscount Cormyr Sunset Collar, and this is Eleanor Dinefour, Pastor Sulun."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Viscount. Although I haven't heard your name, I can see from your subordinates that you are a very powerful and respected person." The tall and strong man said calmly: "The half-elf lady next to you should already belong to you. You are a couple, right?"

"You!" Eleanor was immediately blushed by this tall and strong man, and the pastor said dissatisfiedly: "You have said so much, who are you? Why are you locked up here? What is your relationship with those druids, tieflings, and bandits?"

"Hehehe, don't underestimate the perception of a druid, Ms. Priest." The tall and strong man smiled ambiguously, and then his expression became more serious: "Halsin, the druid of the Moon Society, Halsin, is just a prisoner now. If I have any duties, it is the guardian of this sacred forest."

"Master Thorn locked you in?" Aaron immediately understood.

"It's not me, it's us." Halsin, the druid of the Moon Society, sighed: "I once thought that Daba-thorn was here to assist me."

"I found out later that he was a little...too extreme."

"We often quarreled because of the course of action. His extreme plan of eradicating the nearby human beings who destroyed nature quickly won the support of most members of the association. I can't say no to him... I also have problems. I need his strength. Without him, we would not be able to build the vicinity of the Sacred Forest so well. I hesitated until a group of druids secretly recruited by him publicly announced the abolition of my guardian position and locked me and my supporters here."

"It's strange. Although Daba used to be extreme, he wasn't so scary. Ever since I found out that he had frequent secret meetings with the bishop of the nearby Huimin monastery, his temperament has become more and more weird." Halsin said with self-deprecation: "I am responsible for everything. I didn't perform my duties well. I always wanted to unite everyone, but in the end so many members died because of me."

Looking at the corpses in the nearby dungeon, and the few living people were already described as emaciated, Aaron's eyes immediately became sharp.

Lorgar, you should die!
Bishop Mozgov also escaped with the help of the Daemon Primarch.

In the future, I will face this demon primarch and his dark apostle again.

"I will provide you with enough help, Halsin. As the Viscount of Sunset, I declare that you are free. I will take over the entire forest. Whether you want to stay or leave, I will give you a chance to choose."

"If you choose to stay, I can designate this sacred forest and the surrounding area as a 'Moon Society Reserve'. In principle, you have the right to autonomy. I will not interfere with your actions, and even... I plan to jointly develop this forest with you."

"If you choose to leave, I will not stop you. I will send you travel expenses and food, and send you to the Green Garden headquarters. What you plan to do after that has nothing to do with me."

"Harcin, what are you going to do?" Aaron asked the Grand Druid of the Moon Society, with a look of expectation on his face.

If he wanted to develop the Hurek Forest in the future, he would definitely not be able to get around this sacred forest and the druids. As we all know, there are moderates, middlemen, and extremes among the druids, and if the extreme druids can lock them all in, then the druids headed by Halsin should be moderates.

I have saved their lives, and I am a moderate Druid. The two parties should have a basis for negotiation and cooperation.

There is a sacred grove here, and guarding the sacred grove is a druid's vocation and life goal. Even if I drive away all these druids and disband them, there will definitely be druids from other places trying to come to the holy forest of Hurek to establish an organizational settlement. Wave after wave, one after another, until someone succeeds.

Some people will definitely say, why not let a group of moderate druids come?

Sorry, whether a Druid is a moderate, a middle or an extremist is unpredictable until they take specific actions. A Druid who looks gentle and kind, and has nothing to do with the world may have secretly planned to destroy nearby human activities for many years, just waiting for the moment when everything starts.

A druid who looks world-weary and has a weird temper and drives away whenever there are human activities may secretly protect villagers, restrain monsters, and eliminate evil in his own way, but he never expresses, and has no interest in telling others what he has done.

That is, before taking specific actions, it is difficult to know what a druid is thinking.

Candlekeep authoritative scholars named it "Druid's Uncertainty Theorem".

Instead of opening a blind box, it is better to choose a group of trustworthy ones.

"The members of the commune can reunite if they are lost. The power of nature will make us one. As long as there are people, there is hope." Halsin hesitated for a while, and said tentatively: "Really? Can you promise me?"

"Yes, I can assure you of keeping my promise." Aaron nodded: "I can swear by Feilongshui Lake. I will try my best to meet your protection and preservation needs for the Hulek Sacred Forest."

"Okay, then let's conclude a gentleman's agreement." Halsin also agreed happily. The archdruid knew that the strengths of the two sides were not equal. Since the other party was able to defeat Daba Thorn, it showed that he had the strength to slaughter all the remaining moderates like himself, and no one could say anything.

"Yes, that's all right!"

Seeing how easily Halsin succumbed, Aaron understood why Daba-Thorn seized power so smoothly.

There's a ten to nine chance this guy is a lawful good druid.

Good people are always easy to bully.

…………

He came out of the cave with the support of two black vulture guards, and a big brown bear suddenly rushed out of the nearby forest, arousing everyone's vigilance. In an instant, at least ten arrows and five spears were aimed at the giant bear.

"Wait! Don't hurt her! Wait!" Halsin shouted anxiously: "She is not the enemy!"

Maximian looked at Aaron, Aaron waved his hand, and the soldiers put down their weapons.

The brown bear immediately pounced on the Grand Druid of the Moon Society, and rubbed his head against his chin. Halsin also burst into tears, and touched the brown bear's head with his hand: "Great, Fina, you're still alive! Great, I thought you were dead too!"

The brown bear was also crying and didn't speak, just rubbing vigorously in his arms.

"Your pet?" Aaron asked curiously.

"Pet? Fina is not a pet!" Halxin was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he blushed and said, "She is my girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend???!!!" Eleanor opened her mouth wide.

This archdruid found a bear as his girlfriend?
Although my lord Su Lun said that love does not distinguish between races and nationalities, is this a bit... Miss Pastor's eyes became strange.

You pervert!
Equally, Aaron felt strange.

Mr. Halsing, your taste is so unique.

He has played Baldur's Gate before and experienced romantic scenes, but he remembers that there is no such thing as man and beast in Baldur's Gate.

The country is really a very open place.

"No! No!!!" Halsin quickly explained: "Fina is a human being, a druid like me."

After finishing speaking, the archdruid himself blushed a lot: "It's just that she...she likes to be like this, especially when she's with me."

"Oh~~~~~" All the people around took a step back subconsciously, and their eyes changed again.

So this is ah!

You pervert!
Updated, the second one is asking for tickets!
