Chaos Crown

In the hotel room, when Eleanor was cleaning up the room that Aaron had ordered, she heard the noise outside.

There were many Harpers gathered in the hotel today. Eleanor guessed that it might be because the Harpers had some activities recently, or they had something to discuss, so they didn't pay too much attention.

Although Su Lun Mama is the patron saint of the Harper Alliance, the mixed nature of Su Lun did not force his followers to join the Harper Alliance. Eleanor, as the priest of Su Lun, can only be said to be an alliance with the Harper Alliance There is a certain connection, and her attention is not on the so-called good cause of the Harper League. Like Aaron, Eleanor always has her own understanding of kindness.

The noise outside still affected Eleanor. The pastor herself is a quiet person. After making the big bed where Aaron and herself slept, and putting Charlotte's small bed next to the toilet, Eleanor finally decides to go out and see what's going on.

On the surface, the night is falling, the setting sun stubbornly leaves a small semicircle in the mountain depression, a thick smoke is filling the sky above the hotel, the dinner is being prepared, the heating coal is burning, the hotel is mixed with a smell of humanity and The musty smell was hidden in the aroma of beer and food. Eleanor, who was a bit of a cleanliness, couldn't help but frowned. Miss Priest thought that she would release a three-ring magical spell after Aaron was done with it——Li Ormon's hut.

As soon as she came out of the room, Eleanor heard two harpists talking.

They were chatting about a frustrating incident, two Harper members who were in charge of the investigation had an accident, one Harper was missing for a long time, and another Harper was found dead in a nearby underground tunnel.

One of the harpists thinks that things are getting out of control, and they should report to their superiors immediately, while the other harpist thinks that this is not a big deal. It is normal for someone to die accidentally on the Avenue of Kindness. As for the disappearance—— According to the habits of the harpists, under normal circumstances, those guys who have been missing for a few days will return to the queue with a shy face, and smell of alcohol by the way.

"No, the missing Drake is not a rabble. He is an experienced elite ranger. He has survived so many investigations before!" One of the harpists firmly denied: "As for Patrick, there is What could surprise a half-elf with darkvision in the sewers and make him bleed dry in one blow?"

Harper's body was found in the tunnels near the Tower of the Moonrise - no surprises, the area near Baldur's Gate is full of these tunnels, either for protection from danger, or for smuggling , or hide some ulterior secrets.

"What's going on?" Eleanor couldn't help asking.

Although Miss Priest is not a member of the Harper League, the Harpers basically know her. As one of the most well-known Su Lun priests in the country, Eleanor's appearance and characteristics are already well known to everyone. See Miss Priest. , The two harpists couldn't tell for a while, and they asked Eleanor to go to Brosnan, the leader of the harpist assembly this time.

Brosnan is on the third floor of the Last Light Hotel, and he and several harpists are working on a strange device together.

The appearance of the device looks like a nut shell - two semicircles of dark yellow metal protect the green ore power system in the middle, surrounded by tangled wires and interfaces, and there is a drill at the front of the device. Make it look like a rig again.

Harper leader Brosnan studied this metal device for a long time, but couldn't find any clues: "So, can anyone tell me what this thing is?"

"I don't know, boss." The black-skinned harpist next to him shook his head: "We may need a dwarf mechanic, or a gray dwarf mechanic."

"We asked the gnomes on the surface, and they don't know where this thing came from. According to their mechanical experience, this thing should not work in any sense." Another harpist spread his hands and expressed his helplessness: "Head Son, is this thing really important?"

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that things must be more than just ordinary industrial garbage." The leader of the harpist, Brosnan, with a greasy back, tried to study the strange device: "Remember before report?"

"Nasikai's mines have recently been polluted by this strange green ore, and all the ores mined are substandard, because the ore is getting worse and worse, resulting in Baldur's Gate and even the Sword Coast region not getting qualified ores Supply, combined with trade pressure on Amn... if we Harpers don't get in on the action soon, there is a possibility that Amn will go to war with Baldur's Gate."

"Didn't Sister Jaheira and her husband Khaled rush over?"

"Then we can't relax!" Brosnan continued to focus all his attention on this strange device: "Damn it, it would be great if there were artificers from Imasca among us."

The Imasca Empire, one of the most powerful empires in human history, used to be the regional hegemony in the east of the country. It obtained part of the Nether Scrolls. In the end, because the country was too big, the management was out of order. The entire pantheon of Mulhorand came from other multiverses and led the slaves in the form of incarnations to overthrow the Imaskar Empire.

Some of the remaining old wizards of the Imasca Empire formed an order, and it is generally believed that they are the predecessors of the red wizards.

The Imaskar Empire has a very famous profession that is the artificer. Unlike Netheril, the Imaskar Empire did not lose the Netheril Scrolls. They kept all their knowledge in a file called "Imascar Card Seven Secret Artifacts"—then the country was destroyed under the attack of the incarnations of the Mulhorand gods, and the Seven Secret Artifacts disappeared.

The artificer, a profession that uses magic to make tools to power objects through magic, has remained.

Well-informed harpists have seen the creations of artificers before, but they have never seen the creations like the device in front of them. In their opinion, part of this device can be described as a real high-tech instrument, and its complex internal structure , the multiple wires and linkages are beautifully crafted like works of art.

The other part is as rough as a child's toy, especially the power system. It always feels like when cooking, no matter how exquisite the ingredients are, the process is as simple as boiling water and putting things in.

At this time, Eleanor's appearance caught the attention of several harp players, and the leader of the harp players immediately expressed his concerns to Eleanor. They found this device in the underground stronghold near the Moonrise Tower.

When the Harpers discovered the device, they saw two rat-shaped lycanthropes working on it. When they saw someone coming, the Ratmen were startled. They immediately activated the device and pointed the end with the drill towards them. emission.

At first the drill roared like a tiger, and the green lightning bolts startled the harpers.

Fortunately, the drill bit looked very powerful and majestic. It flew less than two meters in the air before shaking. It just kept bouncing up and down on the stone floor, and continued to shoot out green lightning sparks.Until a large puff of dark green smoke rose from the device, it jumped on the ground a few times due to inertia, and stopped moving.

The Ratman himself was dumbfounded, and ran away quickly, and the harpers recovered the device.

"Let me see." Eleanor was also baffled by this device, but Miss Priest realized more. She found that the green ore at the center of the entire device was spreading polluted energy towards the surroundings.

"I don't know what this is." Eleanor was very cautious: "I asked Aaron to take a look."

…………

Ten minutes later, Aaron, Ba Ruier, and An Nuoming came to the third floor.

As soon as he saw this familiar device, familiar dimension stone, and familiar malfunction, black lines immediately appeared on Aaron's forehead.

"Skaven, yesyes! Humans, hairless stuff, dieie!" Aaron pointed at the dimensional stone drill rocket and said to everyone.

Everyone present: "?"

"Dimensional Stone Flame, breakbreak, nono! Big, Big Horned Rat didn't bless us this time, bless us!" Aaron continued.

"???"

Aaron didn't say anything more, and after making a joke with Warhammer characteristics, Aaron frowned.

The Horned Rat is here!
What does the Four Gods of Chaos mean?
"The situation is very bad, everyone." Aaron pointed to the dimensional stone drill device: "When you find a cockroach in your home, guess whether it is only this one cockroach in your home, or there are already groups of cockroaches in your home. , this one was seen by you?"

"What do you mean???" The Harpers all looked ugly.

"I mean, we're going to be in big trouble." Aaron's face sank.

While everyone was studying the dimensional stone drill rocket on the third floor, there was an unusual commotion in the sewers of the hotel.

There were strange echoes all over the hotel. The first thing started was the sewer of the back kitchen of the hotel. A few little mice with dark green eyes emerged from the foul-smelling swill sewer. They ran around food residues and disgusting swill. Slowly, the gutters, burrows, and cracks in the walls were filled with rats.

The original sporadic rat tide began to gather and turned into a strong wave. At first, the little rats were not strange in appearance. They were the black and gray pests known to people who lived in the city. Its fur and worm-like wagging tail are absolutely disgusting.

At this time, the helpers who were busy in the kitchen of the hotel and some drunkards who came out to vomit discovered the rats, but no one thought that rats would become a big problem. There are many rats in environments such as kitchens and warehouses. Everyone has become accustomed to them, but rats More and more gathered together, forming a gray tide of rats, which attracted the attention of the drunkards. They pointed at the rats moving in groups, laughed, and pointed at the trajectories of the rats, which completely aroused their interest.

The drunkards started a competition. They competed on who would trample the most rats to death. Every time a foot landed, the puddle of pink debris from the trampled rats would cause everyone to howl. Looking forward to the performance of the next player.

But none of this could stop the gathering of rats. When the swarm of dozens of rats was replaced by hundreds of rats, the rats began to run up their trouser legs, and then began to bite their bare skin.They will choose the soft places on those people, such as eyes, open mouths, fingers and so on.

The massacre began.The drunks who had stepped on the rats on the street before were bitten to the ground one by one by the rats, and were then eaten alive by hundreds of rats.

"Squeak chee chee chee chee ~"

"Yesyes~yesyes~hairless thing, diedie!"

The chaotic sound of rats finally aroused the vigilance in the hotel. The sound of the swarm of rats overwhelmed the chatter of the people in the hotel. The panicked chef began to run for his life. He slammed down the kitchen door and locked it hysterically. , the high-level adventurers opened the shutters and watched the rat wave sweeping the hotel grounds.It was no longer possible to see the cobblestones on the ground, for a carpet of seething rat swarms had completely covered the former green grass.

In the distance, several bulls in the cowshed were quickly swallowed by the tide of rats, and the bulls screamed. In a few seconds, only the large skeletons of the bulls were left rolling over the heads of the rats!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The shrill roar alarmed the harpers, as well as Aaron and others who were studying the warpstone device. When he poked his head out of the blinds and saw the tide of Skaven rats coming, Aaron took a deep breath. Take a breath.

"Ready to fight! Ready to fight!"

His roar finally awakened the frightened adventurers. The adventurers in the country will not sit still in front of the rat tide. They quickly took out their weapons to deal with the black tide composed of thousands of rats. The hotel owner is even more experienced. , He quickly pulled out two bottles of spirits from the wine cabinet behind him, and the ignited crossbow smashed the bottles in the air, and the flames covered the door of the tavern, forcing the rat tide to retreat.

But there were still too many Skaven.

From the hotel to the backyard, and then to the surrounding area, the battle broke out everywhere. The rat people chased anything that moved, and some even stopped and began to devour the corpses on the ground. They ate them all, they devoured humans, horses, even cats and dogs.

To put it simply, anything that falls into the hands of a rat man will only lead to death.

But this was only the beginning, and the real skaven came after the rat tide, armed with simple short knives and shields, and dressed in tattered clothes, rushing from the sewers and the pool under the hotel.

"Harper!"

"Where's the Harper?!"

The Harper Alliance gathered together, and Brosnan led them down the stairs quickly, preparing to fight the rat tide.

Only Aaron stood still: "Eleanor, Barrell, Anuoming, go down and protect the civilians."

"What about you?" Eleanor said worriedly.

"I'm right here." Aaron waved his hand and pointed to the device on the table: "If I guess correctly... they are here to recover this."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of tearing the air in the afterglow of the setting sun, and just as a black shadow rose, Aaron randomly pointed it in the air!
Human immobilization technique!
Crack the invisibility!

The Ratman, whose head was covered in a black robe, was forced to appear in the air, holding a dimensional stone dagger in his hands and tail.

Skaven Assassin!
