Chaos Crown

Chapter 582, Red Dragon Blacksmith Hibberchard

As soon as he entered the city, Aaron felt something was not right in the atmosphere.

Glaxturg is a city dominated by gray dwarves, derro dwarves are second-class citizens, and other races are inferior people. Except for a few organizations from the surface world such as the Zhentarim that have trade relations with the gray dwarves, the gray dwarves are second-class citizens. Dwarves are hostile to other humans and elves.

Gray dwarves don't like killing. They prefer to be captured as hard labor or slaves. If they are not forced to do so, gray dwarves will try to avoid fighting, especially those that lack gain.

The derro dwarves, who are second-class citizens, are completely different from the gray dwarves. The derro dwarves are frivolous, frivolous, and crazy. They have no credibility or morality at all. The only thing that maintains the commonality of their races is hatred. The derro dwarves hate everyone. This inexplicable hatred supports the souls of the derro dwarves. Any reason can make the derro dwarves gnash their teeth with hatred, thus giving them new motivation.

It is said that the derro dwarves were once a hybrid of humans and underground dwarves. Because they were a dwarf, they had a particularly unstable personality.

The derro dwarves once launched a large-scale rebellion to refuse their status as gray dwarf slaves. This war caused the destruction of many gray dwarf kingdoms. Although they were eventually suppressed by the Deep Kingdom, the madness of the derro dwarves was really shocking. The duergar were frightened, so the derro were absorbed into the ranks of the ruling class, becoming second-class citizens.

But what Aaron saw was a gray and hazy street. The gray dwarves were getting nervous. A few merchants were catching passing customers buying and selling by force. However, they knelt down and prayed. I tearfully begged kindhearted people to buy my products, otherwise I would go to hell.

Street cleaners hunted "drow spies" everywhere, but turned a blind eye to Nestia and Viconia.

Another weapons craftsman enthusiastically took Aaron's hand and said that Aaron and he were half-brothers. Not only would he give Aaron a long-barreled firecracker, but he would also open a letter of introduction for him. Let him go to the King of Deep Land to recognize his marriage.

Father! Have you ever been to the Underdark before when you went on adventures as a Purple Dragon Knight?
Aaron was shocked and refused.

"I feel something is wrong with this city." Aaron, Nestia and Viconia said: "I feel a familiar force, but I can't be sure who it is."

"It can't be Rose. Rose has fallen silent. Could it be Cyric or Max?" Nestia and Viconia were both dressed in leather clothes and high leather boots with pointed toes. Stepping on the slightly damp stone road, heroic spirit and murderous aura burst out.

"Don't worry, let's go see Hibberchard first." Aaron thought for a while and gave a non-stop answer.

The Deep Kingdom is ruled by Deep King Holga-Steel Shadow V. He and many clans in the kingdom form a "Landlords' Council". Each clan will have its clan leader participate in the meeting as a landlord. The gray dwarves have a watchdog. It seems to be a united social organization, but in fact this unity is very weak. Each generation of deep kings will continue to instigate and intensify the conflicts between the various clans, making them suspicious of each other and fighting each other so that they can be alone.

Prince Enrique was a victim of this struggle.

In this case, any movement by Aaron may break this fragile balance.

Aaron needs that balance now until he defeats Rose.

With Aaron's charisma and Zhentarim identity certificate, Aaron successfully obtained permission from the Stone Guard to meet with the Red Dragon Blacksmith.

Hibberchard's lair is located in the southeast corner of the city. Gatoka, the guardian of the flames, looked at the letter of introduction doubtfully for a while. When the gray dwarf priest led Aaron to a stone-cut room outside the wide entrance, there was a slight vibration on the ground. A thunderous voice echoed off the stone walls.

"Gatoka." A giant reptilian beast appeared and called.

It was clad in lava-colored scales, and its bright yellow eyes glowed in the shadows of the cave.

The dragon slowly walked out of the cave and continued, "You didn't tell me that today's dinner is for surface people. Hey, aren't drow and surface elves high-end goods? Why are they delivered to me?"

So fat!

This was Aaron's first reaction when he saw the dragon.

This is the first time he has seen a dragon with a double chin! Although this red dragon was huge, its neck was almost invisible. Its fat belly slid all the way down the pile of gold coins in the dragon's nest, and its claws and feet swelled up like balloons.

Is this fat dragon suffering from gout?
Aaron complained in his mind.

"Outlanders," the gray dwarf priest said respectfully, "This is the Father of Flames, the Eternal Burner, and the heart of the city's foundry industry—Hiberchard, the dragon blacksmith of the city of Graxtug."

"Gatoka, please go out first. I have something to discuss with them." The fat dragon rolled on the pile of wealth.

The gray dwarf glanced at Fat Dragon, Aaron and the others with doubts, and left first.

Peace returned to the dragon's nest, and Nastia took the initiative to take a step forward: "Your Excellency Hibberchard, it's been a long time since I last saw you, and you are feeling more and more refreshed."

"Oh, who am I? It turns out to be you, little white-haired one. Didn't I hear that you have left the Baenre family and become an honorary outsider like that Drizzt? Although you are not here to come to me this time. You're certainly not here to reminisce about old times when you're helping Menzoberranzan find reinforcements, right?"

Fat Dragon rubbed his head against the gold coin with the Ladugue pattern on it and said casually.

"I'm here to introduce you to a friend." Nestia motioned to Aaron.

"Oh, friend, friend, anything related to friends is definitely not good." Big Fat Dragon said casually: "I hate people asking me questions. You'd better be fine. Don't you know? Your Banrui family Disaster is coming to Menzoberranzan!"

After saying that, Feilong laughed in a very tasteless manner: "Okay, let me see what kind of fucking friends you are going to introduce to me."

"Hey, low-level species!"

With a flash of light, the great dragon Egil appeared with his hands on his hips: "Get up, you fat pig!"

"What?" Feilong's half-open eyes widened suddenly when he saw Egil. He rolled up from his pile of wealth like a lazy donkey and climbed up: "Egil?!"

"That's right, it's me. I'm here to discuss a bill with you today. Do you agree? Or do you agree?" Egil raised his head proudly, opened his mouth, and reflected the two pointed dragon teeth. Mingguang, with an expression of "I'm fierce" on his face.

But the fat dragon just did this. The red dragon faced the powerful dragon, just like the old Parisian old guard facing the old Parisian master in a small town in Algeria, Africa. When he came up, he was inferior to the dragon, and Egil's name He had heard that the great dragon had five times and ten times the wealth of the fat dragon, and his reputation spread throughout the multiverse!
"It seems that you are Aaron Salian." Fei Long reacted quickly, and he immediately said to Aaron: "Very well, Prince Enrique's rebellion was all your fault, right? I'll Where did Prince Enrique get the magical support and equipment supplies? You have a grudge against Rose, so you came here to ask for my help? "" Clever." Aaron nodded with a smile. "That's a mistake. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Red Dragon Blacksmith, the new order of the Underdark will be rewritten.”

"I don't want to hear so many so-called new orders, stars and seas, and historical documents." Feilong immediately interrupted Aaron: "We are all sensible people, just tell me, what do you want? What can you give me? "

"Quickly, I want you to contact all the deep dragon lords in the Underdark and let them attack Menzoberranzan City together."

The fat dragon narrowed his eyes. He was lying on the pile of his treasures. Hibberchard had already judged that he could neither beat Egil nor Aaron, and the other party said these words. He definitely didn’t plan to leave any escape route after that, so he had no choice but to cooperate, otherwise Aaron wouldn’t mind having a few more sets of large-sized red dragon armors.

"I, Hibberchard, the red dragon blacksmith of the Deep Kingdom. I can eat two living creatures and enjoy various delicacies here every day. I have a large group of gray dwarf servants who are responsible for serving me and satisfying me every day. requirements.”

The fat dragon touched his slack chin: "Every time I build a piece of equipment, I get 30% of the profit. Although these dwarfs raised by myconids and the landowners whose brains have been infected by fungus have recently deducted my remuneration from time to time, I Very satisfied with my current life.”

"If I promise to help you, will this good time still happen?" Feilong said.

The great dragon Egil was stunned.

Is this a good time for you?
Are you really a red dragon? Isn't this too easy to satisfy?
Hey, no wonder you’ve become a fat pig, that’s all you’ve got~
"After everything is done, you will have good times now and in the future!" Aaron said with enthusiasm.

"Okay~" The fat dragon first looked at Egil, thinking of her astonishing wealth and reputation in the multiverse, and swallowed: "Then, what about the good times of my gray dwarf servants and other deep dragon lords?"

"There will be some too!"

"Okay!" Fei Long shook his head with satisfaction. He took out two goblets directly from the pile of financial reports under him: "Wine!"

"It will all happen!"

…………

After successfully reaching an agreement with the Fat Dragon, Aaron, Nestia, Viconia and the great dragon Egil quickly left the Deep Kingdom.

After leaving the kingdom, they learned that the Chaos Dwarves were becoming more and more powerful, and that other forces were also starting to move.

The Underdark is not just for drow, gray dwarves, derro dwarves, myconids, kobolds, orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, giants, shield dwarves and mind flayers have all started their own plans.

Especially the gray dwarf god Ladugue and the derro dwarf god Diylinka. The news channels of the gods are much wider than those of mortals. In addition, Aaron has already greeted some gods, Ladugue He and Dee Linka already know about Rose's disappearance. If they don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, wouldn't it be inconsistent with their position as evil gods?
They issued oracles one after another, encouraging the underground dwarves to join the rebellion against the drow.

Lolth's drow pantheon is so powerful that it has overwhelmed the various forces in the Underdark. Now there is finally an opportunity, and with a mysterious god from the surface taking the lead, why not do it?

Blessed is the prosperity of the palace!

As for who the mysterious god is, there are many theories that it is Wojin, the goddess of wealth. After all, the golden gloves, golden melt and powerful financial resources are all the work of Wojin, and the wave of collective disappearances of drow can also feel a trace of Wojin. The existence of divine power.

It can be said that except for Shamans City, which is ruled by male drow wizards, almost all the forces in the entire Underdark Region are interested because of Prince Enrique's rapid destruction of the city.

Rose really just doesn't care?

So either Rose has really fallen, or even if Rose has not fallen, she is now unable to solve the current predicament of the drow, and she can hide behind and take advantage.

For a time, all the forces in the Underdark gave up waiting and watching, and joined the gathering to share the spoils of drow rule.

As for Aaron, after completing the work of persuading the fat dragon, Aaron was finally able to meet Eilistraee.

The meeting place chosen by the Dark Maiden and Aaron was an abandoned city of deep dwarves. This city was once home to thousands of deep dwarves and was famous throughout the country because of Drizzt Do'Urden's incident.

But this also brought disaster to the underground gnomes. After what happened, the invading army of Menzoberranzan destroyed the place. Thousands of gnomes were killed or captured. The city was destroyed. Lady Fungi's demons, myconids and ghosts Occupy this place.

"I'm ready, what about you?" Eilistraee felt that she had never had such a wonderful start.

The entire Underdark has become restless, and Rose's rule is crumbling. Every force has joined the fight against Rose, and with help from Aaron, the Dark Girl feels that she is just around the corner to win this war.

"Yes, I'm ready too." Aaron affirmed Eilistraee's high morale, but still emphasized: "But don't be too proud. Nestia said that Rose has not fallen. She is just gathering strength to prepare for promotion. These so-called allies of ours only joined the resistance team when Rose was away. If Rose even coughs, most of them will defect on the spot. "

"Then you still spent so much manpower and material resources?" Eilistraee was a little disappointed. The dark girl felt that Aaron was a little too cautious: "We are going to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the deep pit of the magic network and give our mother a fatal blow. No matter how cautious you are, you will miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Aaron, we have been planning for this opportunity for a long time, why are you being cautious now? To be honest, this is different from what Su Lun described you!"

Aaron was silent for a while. He looked at Eilistraee and Nestia behind him: "Because, I don't want to see you fall."

"?" Eilistraee widened her jade-white pupils. The dark girl was shocked by Aaron's words: "You...what do you mean?"

"Because there are too many uncertain factors in it." Aaron said: "If you want to completely defeat Rose, you, me, and Nastia must personally enter the magic network pit, and even Rose." If Si's body belongs to the Kingdom of God, then he will take huge risks."

"Why I must attack Menzoberranzan first instead of directly entering the Demonic Pit to fight Rose. This is why. Otherwise, how can we determine whether we entered the Demonic Pit on our own initiative or whether Rose deliberately induced us to do so?" Did we go in?"

"Wait a little longer, Eilistraee, be more patient. I hope you can survive well and work with me and Suellen to create a new future for the drow race and the Underdark." Aaron held his hand. She took Eilistraee's hand and said, "Believe me, the girl of darkness, the flower in the darkness, will eventually bloom."

"You..." The dark girl pursed her lips tightly: "Are you caring about me?"
