Chaos Crown

Chapter 36

PS: I set the alarm clock at 4 o'clock this morning, but I was fed a mouthful of Xiang. I was so angry that I still haven't recovered, and my heart still hurts. Let me adjust and rest for a day. There will be no change tomorrow.

The smelly old man's test was very strict, and Aaron was naturally prepared for this.

"So what is the general test for Lucian's flag officer?" Aaron asked.

"I don't know, the test of the smelly old man is always inexplicable." Disma seemed unwilling to say more: "The test of different people is different. I promised that the smelly old man would not tell others. I can only say that the smelly old man sometimes It won't let you do what you're good at."

"I guess, the test of the flag bearer of Lucian has never been a battle?" Aaron understood.

"Huh!" Disma snorted coldly, drank the remaining soup in the bowl, then dropped the spoon and picked up the plate: "I'm done eating, recruit, eat slowly."

It seemed that he had hit the mark. Seeing that Disma left without looking back, Aaron smiled helplessly.

The flag officer Lucian only brought three apprentice knights. If Leonard can pass the test this time, it is basically equivalent to bringing only Disma and him. How will this close friend of his father train and assess himself?
Anyway, Aaron knew that Lucian would not let him go easily.

You can only take one step at a time.

Aaron ate his meal slowly. He was not like Desman who was always in a hurry to do things. On the contrary, Lord Viscount ate in the Knights every day, and even had dinner in the Knights, which really impressed everyone. I thought that Aaron really came to train seriously.

There have always been no shortage of children of great nobles who came to participate in knight courses and brought a whole servant group with them.

However, no one probably expected that the reason why Aaron would choose to have lunch and dinner at the Knights was because the lunch and dinner of the Knights were free, and it was similar to a buffet, and you could add more if you couldn’t finish it.

I love free!Every time Aaron thinks that he does not need to spend money on meals, he only feels that his appetite improves, he is more motivated to cook, and he is not so tired from training.

Eat a meal and save a meal!

Moreover, although the meals of the knights were not very delicious, they still had enough meat, fresh vegetables, and fish from Longhu Lake.

The training of fighters is so cheap, as long as there is enough meat and suitable instructors with enough training, the combat effectiveness of fighters will soon take shape and become suitable ().

Aaron continued to eat, and the discussions among the recruits who were sitting next to him became more and more heated.

Aaron remembered that the names of these guys were Moore, Roswell, and Maidome. One of them was the son of a senior blacksmith in Mashanbai, and the other was the son of the best tailor in Shenhai Town. Aaron Maidom did not know , but judging from his appearance, he should be the child of a small nobleman in the border area of ​​the kingdom. He has undergone basic military training, but his clothes are more shabby than the other two.

The relationship between these three people doesn't seem to be very harmonious, but the atmosphere of the Purple Dragon Knights is destined to make them a close group from other places, otherwise it will be difficult for them to survive surrounded by locals.

Aaron heard them talking.

"What are you planning to do tomorrow?" Moore said rather relaxedly, "I can't wait to go around our royal city. Do you want to go together?"

Tomorrow is Sunday, the recruits' first day off.

"You go around, I'm going downtown to get something, oh, please, the taste of butter cheese here is too weak, it's unbearable after a week, fire-haired lady, save this place Let's eat!" said Roswell, son of a great tailor, "I can't wait to eat El Toril."

El-Toril?Aaron remembered that this seemed to be a city in the Sword Coast area. It is said that around the time he was born, a powerful angel led a heavenly army to attack hell here. After that incident, paladins and priests came here A city and expanded it, they want to make this city into a holy place on earth.

El Toril gray cheese is very famous in the country, its price is not high, only 1 silver coins for 454 pound (6 grams), the blue surface has black lines, it is very easy to store for a long time without deterioration, And it has a strong spicy taste.

"You like to eat El-Toril gray cheese?? Mother Earth, I really can't stand the spicy taste."

"I just want that taste, I wouldn't eat it without that spicy taste!"

"But, how did you get El Toril gray cheese?" Moore's question was not unreasonable.

The catastrophe of the Holy One two years ago brought a huge disaster to the whole country, coupled with the disappearance of Ms. Fortune, it dealt a devastating blow to the country's commerce and trade. A large number of business routes were either actively or passively cut off. Cormier himself experienced another After a few months of goblin warfare with heavy losses, the princess managed to restore a small part of the trade in necessities, but alternative everyday items like El Toril gray cheese were neglected. Cheese imports are also not very profitable.

"Shh, listen to me, there is a Dragon Tooth Bar in the lower city, which is the stronghold of the Dragon Tooth Gang. The leader there is called Ma Long, and he can get a lot of cheap smuggled goods, gray cheese is just one of them."

"He has a lot of things that are cheaper than the market. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

At this time, the three of them had almost finished their dinner, and they seemed to realize that it was not good to say such things in the Great Hall of the Knights Order. The three Zilong recruits looked around and saw that Aaron was burying his head in dealing with a piece of pork chop, so he got up We made an appointment for tomorrow, and we left separately.

Downtown area?Dragon Tooth Bar?Longya Gang?Malone?
Aaron searched his memory desperately, and he had a little impression of the name Malone.

Where have I heard this name comer?
Think, think.

Have!Aaron remembered!
Malone of the Dragon Tooth Gang!He heard it mentioned in the Three Crowns neighborhood, not because of smuggling, but because the Dragon Tooth Gang can help deal with cats!

Yes, there is a "do not harm cats" in the decree issued by the Queen Regent after she took the throne, but some nobles don't want to raise cats after raising cats, or they encounter very fierce wild cats attacking themselves but cannot fight back because of the law , what should I do?

Dragon Tooth Gang is willing to help "handle" this kind of problem, give them the cat, they will use the fishing boat to transport the cat out of Cormyr, and then these cats will "accidentally drown and be eaten by fish".

Therefore, the Dragon Tooth Gang is a bit famous in the neighborhood of the Three Crowns, which is adjacent to the palace, because they can "handle" cats.

But this can no longer be said to be playing with fire, it is simply a life-and-death business. Only the Silver Virgin knows what will be waiting for them if they are discovered by the princess.

Aaron didn't say anything, he got up after eating and left the Knights.

It is now the end of May 1360 in the Valley Calendar.

The first rest day after he entered the training of the Knights, that is, Sunday, but the believers of the Virgin of Silver always pray to the moon at night. As a goddess of the chaotic and good camp, Su Lun has very few requirements for the believers. There are not so many and harsh dogmas, just pay attention to sincerity.

The next day, Aaron, who finally didn't have to go to the Knights for training, slept soundly until dawn. He ate the breakfast left by his aunt. At this time, the weather was getting warmer. Aaron changed into a pair of short-sleeved trousers , sitting in the study, thinking about what to do next while writing.

The sun is shining outside, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the atmosphere in the study is quiet, quiet and leisurely. Adding a glass of juice calmed with cold well water in a carved glass goblet, it is not elegant.

Aaron summed up what he had gained this week, as well as his future goals, and he wrote them down one by one with a pen.

He has successfully entered the Purple Dragon Knights, he has met the regent princess and obtained a magic teacher for himself, he has used his father's contacts and made some friends.

This is what he has gained in a week.

Lord Viscount counts those goals that have not been achieved.

The first to bear the brunt was the magician Mepham. After the regent princess Alice Searle believed her words, Cormyr began to arrest the magician nationwide, but Aaron really couldn't provide enough identity information. He even The face of that Mepham has never been seen, so the hunt is very difficult. It has been a week, but no useful clues have been found. The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that the magician must still be within the borders of the kingdom.

Secondly, because of the failed assassination of Susar's enemies in the city, the city-wide search of the Queen's Blade has been carried out. At present, all activities have been temporarily hidden in the dark. Since the other party has no activities, Aaron's current strength and Resources can't find the other party, so we can only be careful.

Finally, there is the issue of power.

Aaron leaned against the soft back, and he stretched out his hand, a mass of purple-gray distorted energy in his hand reflected with thin colorful flames.

The son of chaos, the four powers.

The power of Slaanesh has been unlocked by more than 15%. As long as the current rhythm continues, it is only a matter of time for me to use the power of Slaanesh.

Tzeentch's power has only been unlocked to less than 5%. This power still comes from the Silver Virgin, Su Lun. There is a trace of freedom and change in Su Lun's priesthood, so Aaron, who has received Su Lun's favor, can also use it a little bit A little bit of Tzeentch's power.

The remaining powers of Nurgle and Khorne are tightly sealed, with no sign of opening.

At present, it is still too early for Aaron to use these two powers. He does not even plan to improve his professional warrior level for the time being. The purpose of the six-month Zilong recruit training is only to master and become proficient in the professional abilities of warriors. , just learn a few more combat skills.

His greatest reliance is still the power of chaos flowing in his veins, the power of his chaos warlock.

Before unlocking the power of Khorne Nurgle, Aaron had no idea or talent to improve his warrior profession.

Otherwise, why did he, who received family military training, live for a full 18 years and still be just an apprentice soldier?

Because he really has no talent in the way of a warrior.

Father Manuel was extremely frustrated because of this, and Aaron before was too mediocre.

As for how to unlock the powers of Khorne and Nurgle, Aaron has no idea at the moment. The only thing that is certain is that these two powerful powers can never be unlocked by killing a few people or releasing a few plagues.

It may require a very strong impact increase, just like the power of Slaanesh is opened at the moment of life and death by the extreme madness, despair, and desire to survive. In the end, the Silver Virgin Su Lun with medium divine power must fully treat it.

So when will my magic teacher arrive?

Aaron smiled wryly for a while on the soft armchair. After training for a week, he finally had a day off. He was a little annoyed at the thought of going to train again tomorrow.

No, I can't do this, I still have a lot to do, I must not stop, I must not rest.

Aaron stood up abruptly from his chair, picked up a pen, and carefully wrote a sentence on the parchment.

"Easy for a while, miss a lifetime."

Blowing the ink dry, Aaron looked at his work with satisfaction.

Let's frame this quote of wisdom.

The six-month recruit training time is still a bit too long, and I can't wait passively without doing anything.

He must look for opportunities!
"Cousin, come here."

"What's the matter? Aaron, I'm busy."

In the study, Aaron sat behind the desk and looked at the impatient Robert, shaking his head in his heart.

Robert obviously intends to go out for a walk, he is more relaxed now, because his uncle has a job, and Aaron also has funds to subsidize the family, so almost all of his salary is at his own disposal, every rest day, Robert must go out to eat Drink up and spend your money.

It seems that Westerners have a much weaker concept of savings than Easterners. Aaron thought about the cultural differences between the two sides. Westerners especially like to use credit cards to overdraft tomorrow’s money, and there are famous payday loans... Westerners are born with tend to consume.

But Aaron immediately thought of his mortgage in his previous life, and thought that his ancestors were wiser.

As for my cousin, he has an arrogant personality and likes to talk big, spend money lavishly, and especially likes to call himself "Viscount Salian's cousin". As for his strength, that's it. He is good at writing with a quill pen, and has no special talents other than that.

Finally, he knew that his current good life depended on Aaron, and Robert was somewhat self-aware. Although his cousin was very impatient when Aaron called him, he still sat down obediently under Aaron's sharp eyes.

"About the Warlock's arrest warrant, what's going on in the guild?" Cousin is not completely useless, he works as a scribe in the Adventurer's Guild, so he is naturally very familiar with the changes in the guild.

"Oh, for that matter, the reward is 180 gold lion coins, but the clues you provided are too few. There are many gold coin fighters (a derogatory name for mercenaries) in the guild who want to receive this money, but they don't know how to get it. How to find it." Robert said nonchalantly: "Instead, several wizards were arrested. Although it was later proved that they were not the ones you mentioned, these wizards still entered the dungeon."

"Eh..." Aaron thought to himself that these buddies are really sorry.

However, as I said before, most of the wizards are not good things, because most of the masters of the wizards are supreme existences on the evil side, so Aaron has no psychological burden.

"Aside from this incident, is there any other news? A major event? A super high reward? A new discovery that has attracted the attention of the mercenaries?" Aaron continued to ask: "Of course, let's forget about dragon slaying."

The Power of Slaanesh still wants to be famous, it is eager to be famous in Daifen, so that everyone knows its name.

Aaron is now just a little bit closer to improving his Chaos Warlock professional level!
"Cousin, what you said... there is really a big event recently." Robert was asked by Aaron, and he really remembered something: "Countess Arabelle, Millman-Raul is preparing to form a huge team. The army is going to recover her territory occupied by the orcs, and she has been released recently to recruit adventurers! This is a big event."

"Oh?!" Aaron's eyes glowed brightly: "Tell me in detail!"

Will there be a major military operation in the future?
Is there a better opportunity to gain fame and merit than this kind of thing?

　Brother Taobo is really good at playing with people's mentality, I've already been nauseated, it's so uncomfortable, let me take it easy.

　　If you want to blame, blame Brother Taobo.
