Chaos Crown

The cold lake wind blows over Feilongshui Lake. A large passenger ship comes from afar, ready to dock. There is the sound of the lake water beating against the rocks in the distance. In the cold winter, the pier is still very lively, and passenger ships come one after another. Now, there are more than one, more than two lighthouses on the dock in the distance. The purple dragon flag symbolizing the Kingdom of Cormyr, the silver eight-pointed star flag symbolizing the Salian family, and the military flag symbolizing the Shepherd Legion each occupy a high place. tower.

The soldiers on the pier used semaphore to inform the passenger ships entering the pier to wait for a while, and they were waiting in the passenger ship, wearing a black and white standard travel suit, wearing a black beret, and Varo dressed as a bard Take the time to take out your pen and write vigorously on the parchment.

"Varo's Guide to Cormyr, Supplement, Book of the Sunset Collar."

"Well, I have to say that Cormier has changed a lot since the last time I was here, so that I had to rewrite some chapters, and the content in some places is outdated. I think it is necessary for me to come to Sunset Territory personally. , Experience the legendary Chaos Expedition."

Walo quickly wrote a string of words, he observed a little, and continued writing on the book.

"The Chaos Expedition is well-known throughout the country for its generous rewards and huge risks. According to data from Candlekeep authoritative scholars, the overall success rate of the Chaos Expedition can only be barely reached even after the adventurers have gradually gained experience in recent months. More than 20%, any mortal only has a maximum of three chances... I think it is actually two, if the first two are unsuccessful, the third Chaos Expedition means a gamble with life as the stake."

The mage dressed as a bard looked around him.

Human passengers accounted for more than [-]% of the passengers. In addition, there were [-]% elves and half elves and half dwarf halflings. In addition, two legendary drows were performing in the crowded cabin. One plays the piano and the other plays the pipa. As long as there is any guest in the cabin who is willing to pay, they will continue their performances to earn enough travel expenses.

Thanks to Drizzt, the surface people's fear of drow has been slightly reduced. Even so, the captain still strictly ordered the two female drow not to move at will, and they will be closely monitored wherever they go.

Among the remaining half of the passengers, Asmo, Goliath, Elementals, Filbergs, lycanthropes blessed by the Silver Virgin, and even a tabby man, plus two talented performers Female drow, Valo silently added another sentence on the parchment.

"The world has never been short of gamblers."

After writing for a while, the passenger ship was finally able to dock. Varo stepped up the stairs, and the winter sunshine made him squint his eyes subconsciously. People were coming and going in the port, and cargo ships full of various goods were going During loading and unloading, group after group of adventurers came one after another, in groups of three or four on the pier, obviously all of them came for the Chaos Expedition.

At this time, a group of senior non-commissioned officers from the Shepherd Legion rushed over, and when they saw this group of non-commissioned officers, both merchants and guests all stepped aside in awe.

Varo took the opportunity to write: "There were many people who made trouble in Sunset, but they were all punished without exception. The soldiers of the Shepherd Legion here are all brave and skilled fighters, especially the officers. They seem to be Having mastered the ability to strengthen oneself, ordinary adventurers are not their opponents at all."

"Occasionally, troubles caused by particularly powerful adventurers will be resolved quickly. The dragon has been patrolling her territory all day long, and the people here are in awe of her."

Under the surveillance of the soldiers, adventurers boarded the pier one after another. The soldiers of the Shepherd Legion strictly enforced the law, and bribery was never useful. A certain rule will be released.

Varo then wrote on his parchment: "Viscount Aaron-Salian's style of ruling the territory is 'whatever is prohibited by the law', I have to admit that his style is really to my liking... "

Before finishing this sentence, a familiar voice came from the pier. A viscount clerk, Robert, who was nearly two meters tall and dressed in luxurious clothes, followed by several elite guards, was already waiting here. When he saw Varo appear, Robert waved excitedly: "Varo, here, here!"

"Robel!" Varo also looked at his old friend in surprise. The two met in the bar in Susar and participated in the Battle of Arabel together. Naturally, when we meet again this time, we must reminisce about the past.

Coming down from the deck, Varo looked at the luxurious clothes on his old friend, and the well-informed mage immediately saw that it was imported by the elves of Yongju Island: "Oh! Robert, I heard that you..."

"How did you know that I changed my job to become the Silver Apostle!" Robert was even more happy: "How did you know that I learned Power Word?"

"Eh..." Valo thought to himself that people like Robert could learn one or two small spells.

Aaron Salian's influence on the country is really not insignificant.

The two chatted for a few words, and Robert immediately took Varo to the commercial street near the dock area. Thanks to the large number of adventurers who participated in the Chaos Expedition, the short two kilometers from the dock to the Palace of the Round Table were full of various shops. From the Trident Tavern run by the Sea Goddess Amberley Church, to the Golden Shield Bar run by the dwarves, to the Whispering Moon Bar run by the local elves in Cormyr, there are all kinds of catering, service, metallurgy, forging, teaching, and accommodation.

Robert dragged Valo into the "Triple Crown" hotel with the most luxurious decoration. This is the most upscale hotel in Sunset, the best gold-selling cave, with the best wine and the most delicious food in the whole country. The most beautiful maid, the Triple Crown Hotel is jointly funded and established by the churches of the three goddesses, they are the fire-haired lady Suni, the silver-moon lady Su Lun and the cat goddess Charis, which are the "Three Crowns".

Priests and disciples of Fire-haired Lady Sune and Cat Goddess Shares also provide evening carnal services directly in the hotel, but they don't accept ugly men and women who are too unattractive.

Seeing the price on the list, Valo secretly touched his wallet.

"Don't panic, buddy, I'll treat you to this meal, just order whatever you like!" Robert was very generous, and he spoke very loudly, as if he was afraid that the people around would not recognize him: "Aaron has approved the funding for me! Today we eat what is expensive, drink what is expensive, and we will not give up until we spend all our money!"

Upon seeing this, Valo put aside his doubts, and the two good buddies took the funds approved by Aaron and had a good night in the Triple Crown Hotel.

Waking up the next morning, Valo continued his writing with a headache. Through the thick glass window, he watched from night to early morning, the fiery atmosphere never stopped, even at three o'clock in the morning yesterday. , there are still more than a dozen people on the commercial street, continue to write with a pen:

"The development of the Sunset Territory is changing with each passing day. Aaron has used a...very special method to greatly stimulate the economy of the Sunset Territory. In addition to reclaiming new fields, setting up new villages, and constructing large-scale construction projects like other lords, I think it will allow Sunset collar has grown from a small fishing village to a large city in just two years, and Aaron Salian's continuous fresh technology has contributed greatly."

"Look, silver lotion has become a must-have cosmetic in every lady's home in the country... at least in the places I've been to. The popularity of stockings has become a new fashion in the country, especially The priests of the goddesses all wear the silk stockings of the Silver Chamber of Commerce as a symbol of dignity and wealth, raw Coke is hard to come by on the black market, and only the richest and most well-connected adventurers will drink it during the most difficult tasks.”

"The name of our country's upstart has spread so widely, and the stage play of the Goblin King Oberon can be said to have contributed..."

"Then the question is, how many good things are there in our Viscount Salian's treasure bag?"

When Varo wrote here, he suddenly stopped writing. He hesitated for a while, and instead of continuing to write, he sighed.

A few months ago, in Calimport, the capital of Calimshan, a very bloody murder occurred.

The three sons born to one of the four wives of Selim VII Pasha, one of several major pashas in Calimport, lowered the curtain at a cut scene in a performance of "Silver Dream of a True Summer Night" in Calimport , descend from directly above the stage.

The three sons died in different ways.

Mahmoud's body was cut in half, half of which was stuffed into his intestines, and the belly of the corpse was swollen like a ball, as if pregnant with a child.

The epidermis of Mustafa's whole body was stripped off, and replaced by the skin of a big golden retriever grafted onto his epidermis. It is neither human nor dog, and it is unknown what kind of creature it is.

Abdullah succeeded in losing weight. This buddy's entire body was compressed to the size of an urn. The whole body was compressed very tightly, and the flesh, organs and bones were completely compressed into one piece, but it was strong.

In addition to the three sons of the Pasha, there were also six Helm guards who died.

Who is the murderer is ready to be revealed. After all, in "The Silver Dream of True Summer Night", everyone knows why the son of Pasha who reported Bilak's weakness at a critical moment was not promoted as a hero by Calinshan.

Anomin, son of Pasha.

Unexpectedly, Selim VII, as his father, did not intend to pursue the culprit. The Great Pasha just said sadly: "If this satisfies you, that's fine. If you are really not satisfied, my This life can also be given to you."

After finishing speaking, Selim VII returned to his palace, equipped himself with 24-hour rotating guards, invited several mages to release the protective barrier, and strictly prevented An Nuoming from making several forced charges without success. .

The Church of Haim was furious, and hunted down the culprit, An Nuoming, who had violated local laws and regulations. However, during the hunt, no matter how much damage the Haim guards did to the culprit or how much his limbs were destroyed, he would be punished. No matter how badly he was injured, An Nuoming could return after a period of time. His body had the ability to regenerate, a hole was blown out in his chest, his arm was broken, his heart was pulled out of his chest, and his kneecap was cut off. cause substantial damage.

After completing his revenge, the shadow in the dark night began to become a role similar to a "vigilante". He specifically targeted those who were full of evil and acted alone in the dark night, but he was different from other similar "vigilante" , An Nuoming does not reject killing people, and he doesn't even care about the possibility of harming innocent people. When the battle is critical, he will automatically change from a human being to an evil giant with two legs, two wings on his back, and a perfect tall body image, bestowing death upon the wicked.

This made Anormin's reputation both bad and bad, and the Calimshanites gave him a nickname.

"Spawn!"

This made people all over the country believe even more, how did An Nuoming, a mortal with such mediocre talents, become a "spawn" capable of revenge?

Without a doubt, Chaos Crusade!
Coming out of the tavern, Robert, who was also hungover, took Varo to the Palace of the Round Table. Adventurers were everywhere along the way. Everyone was discussing what rewards they could get after completing the Chaos Expedition. Their faces were full of excitement. With hope, expectations for the future, and a desire to change the status quo.

No one forces them, everyone is voluntary.

Valo thought for a while, then wrote a joke on the parchment.

"Zantil Fort came to the Sunset Leader to visit, and the leaders lined up to welcome them. The Zhentalin Society asked how these leaders came here. Your Excellency Aaron said that everyone who came to greet them can get 1 gold coin!
Your Excellency Aaron went to Zhentil Castle for a visit, and the leaders lined the road to welcome them. Your Excellency Aaron asked how these leaders came here, and the Zhentarim people said, whoever dares not to come will be fined 5 gold coins!"

After writing this joke, Varo himself was impressed by his genius writing ability. The happy scholar thought that this is the city he dreamed of, full of vitality, maximum freedom, ability to meet people's needs, and upward promotion ladder.

Risks are always accompanied by rewards. Along the stone road leading to the Hall of the Round Table, Varo noticed that some mages were laying magic street lamps on the side of the road: "Are they also here for the Chaos Expedition?"

"Yes, and no." Robert proudly puffed out his chest, "Do you know the Silver Library?"

"Many, many mages want to enter the big library to find out. Cousin, I gave each mage a chance to enter the library for free, but some people are not satisfied. In exchange, they want to enter the library again You must stay and serve us." The cousin looked proud: "Some of them chose to stay forever."

"It seems that the caster is not so unattainable!"

Upon hearing this, Valo couldn't help showing a look of anticipation.

The Baiyin Grand Library and the Baiyin Grand Theatre, this time he will come to see the past one by one.

There was a dragon roar in the air, and a huge power dragon spread its wings and glided past at low altitude.

"Ahahahahahaha~ welcome to Sunset Collar!"

The adventurers on the road stopped immediately and gave the necessary courtesy to the dragon.

Under the sun, the door of the Palace of the Round Table opens, which symbolizes that the Chaos Expedition of Infinite Opportunities will begin again.

The Silver Great Library welcomed a new guest today. The 31-story record left by Simbu, one of the Seven Northland Sisters, is waiting to be refreshed later.

The new play "The King in Yellow" at the Baiyin Grand Theater is about to be staged, and the theater has begun to train bards and has developed a unique branch occupation system.

Reservations for the sanatorium in the Shenglin District will be scheduled for next year.

Every leader's face was full of confidence, he raised his chest to the visitors, and proudly introduced everything about Sunset Leader.

It's not that the Sunset Leader needs the kingdom, but the entire kingdom needs our Sunset Leader!

After a whole day of visits, at the Three Crowns Hotel at night, Varo crossed out some of the content he had written before, and replaced it with a new beginning.

"Varo's Guide to Cormyr, Supplement, Book of the Sunset Collar."

"Gentlemen, it is my great honor to introduce to you the jewel in Cormyr's crown, the Sunset Land and its lord, Aaron-Salyan..."
