Chaos Crown

Chapter 60, Popularity
To enjoy the cheers of thousands of people, to hear them call your name, to be adored, to be admired, to be the center of attention.

This is a temptation that mortals and even gods cannot refuse, and it is also something that the power of Slaanesh will never get tired of.

The previous Aaron also felt a little bit pained because he gave up the ownership of part of the spoils.

According to the unwritten rules, although the loot in the goblin camp was plundered from the local area, the three of them can still share at least 1000%. Above [-] Golden Lion Coins.

It's all money, money!
However, with the great cheers and love he received when he entered the city, and as he felt his warlock professional level has improved, Aaron felt that it was all worth it.

For now, strength is the most important thing, and wealth is temporarily placed second.

He would never have been welcomed on this scale had he not given up such a large sum of money.

Because Leonard and Disma returned to Evening Star Town half a day earlier, distributed the wealth to those who suffered from the disaster, and then took this opportunity to vigorously publicize Aaron's efforts, the achievements of the trio, and the three of them The fact that groups destroy groups of enemies.

Wars don't always bring wealth, but wars do bring pain, solving problems near towns at almost no cost, and returning supplies looted by the goblins to the victims.

At least for the next few years, Purple Dragon Knight Aaron Salian will be the hero of Evening Star Town!
People wanted to ask the hero to say a few words, and the Lord Baron of Evening Star Town not only gave him this opportunity very generously, but also didn't ask Eleanor and Asha for their opinions at all.

Aaron is succinct.

"By the order of the Virgin of Silver, the monsters will bestow their heads, and the disasters will recede. Aaron Salian, Susar's little rookie, sends his greetings to all the friends in Evening Star Town!"

"It's a pity that I only made some small contributions, because the protection of the town needs the help of each of you!"

"At least today, we won!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The blood-red sunset glow on the horizon of Evening Star Town witnessed the welcoming ceremony.

After enjoying the treatment of heroes, Aaron and the three of them still sought divine treatment from the senior priest. The lay on hands of the paladin could stabilize the injury, but the wound on Asha's chest, the broken bone and dislocated shoulder of Miss Priest Although it can grow naturally, Aaron still insists on performing magical treatment.

This is also one of the courses of the Knights. Naturally grown fractures are prone to hidden dangers, and dislocated shoulders are also prone to problems.

Some people will definitely say that it is not easy to dislocate. Look at me, a big country player in the country, if I push it, I will pick it back up for you?Why go to waste money?
It is true that dislocations can indeed be treated in this way, but the courses of the Purple Dragon Knights have explained many times that such physical therapy is very easy to cause habitual dislocations, especially for adventurers who often have to fight, it is best to use God Surgical treatment to avoid future hidden dangers.

For 100 golden lion coins, a priest of the Lord of Dawn released a magic spell for the three of Aaron and performed a thorough treatment, avoiding all future troubles.

Before saying goodbye, the priest of Losander asked proactively, "Since your Excellency has gained so much, why don't you give it to others and enjoy yourself every day? The Lord of Dawn will bless you and me!"

"Thank you very much for your help, sir." Aaron politely declined: "But I have already given my promise to my lord, the great Silver Virgin Suren, the silver moon is my life, and it is shining brightly."

"The sun and the moon are connected, and hope is passed on." Speaking of this, the priest of the Lord of Dawn had no choice but to give up.

Lathander priests have always been very good at "asking" at the right time, but Aaron brought out the Silver Virgin, Su Lun, and Su Lun and La Thander are staunch allies, which made it difficult for him to speak again .

Coming out of Lathander Church, Aaron saw that the female barbarian couldn't hold back her words and asked in the twilight: "Asha? What do you plan to do next?"

"Hey! Aaron, Eleanor, we have done a great thing, shouldn't we celebrate?" Asha's chest was still wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, and the magic treatment could not stop her chest Another scar was left, but the female barbarian didn't care about it at all. She directly hooked Aaron and Eleanor's necks with both hands: "I've booked the entire Wild Boar Tavern, and I'll have a night out tonight. Drunk Carnival! We will not stop getting drunk! Work till dawn!"

Aaron and Eleanor looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Barbarians may be one of the professions that pay attention to instant gratification. This group of guys who bless themselves with the original power of the wilderness are the most unrestrained and enjoy life. They always spend money when they have money. Few barbarians had savings when they were young. If there is a habit, most of them are just to keep some guarantees for their clansmen or family members.

They wholeheartedly embrace their animal instincts—sharp instincts, primal urges, and raging rage. Savages don’t like life surrounded by walls and crowds in their bones. Their life is adventure—pleasure and rest—the next adventure .

"I won't go, I'm a little tired and need to rest." Aaron pushed away the strong arms of the barbarian, expressing his rejection clearly.

"Tsk, that's it? Ah, that's it? The last Salian, can you do it?" Sure enough, seeing that Aaron didn't want to go, Asha immediately turned from enthusiasm to contempt, and the female barbarian stomped irritably: "So, Ay Lino, you're not going either, are you?"

"I'm sorry, Asha, but I really don't like that environment." Seeing that Aaron didn't want to go, and the only motivation for Miss Priest disappeared, she shook her head obediently: "Enjoy this night, Asha, this is you Deserved."

"You guys are so boring! I really don't understand what can compare to the beer barbecue and men's service after returning from an adventure... Forget it, if you don't go, I will go by myself!"

The barbarian left alone, leaving Aaron and Eleanor alone.

His Excellency the Viscount's playful eyes immediately fell on Miss Pastor, and his slightly profound eyes made Eleanor's heart pound.

"Let's go too."

"Yeah." Eleanor looked at Aaron suspiciously. She waved her small fist at Aaron to say that I am not afraid of you, and you will come if you are brave enough, and then followed Aaron's pace in small steps.

"There are a lot of people here, so be careful not to get lost." Aaron wanted to take the hand of Miss Pastor.

"How could it be possible to get separated? You are more eye-catching than the temple of Lathander!" Eleanor pushed Aaron's hand away, half complaining and half teasing, pursing her lips and snickering, the lady pastor's face was shrouded in a moving halo , her bright golden braids are still so dazzling in the increasingly dusky twilight.

The bonus from Charisma always grabs the attention of everyone nearby.

The thing that distressed Miss Priest continued. Aaron stopped trying to hold her hand, but reached out and held the end of her braid. She could feel the man's hand brushing her hair from top to bottom, gently holding her hand. Tie the ribbon on the tip of the hair.

I have pushed away his hand before, if I refuse again, will it make him feel uncomfortable?
The soft golden hair brushed against the palm of his hand, and Aaron felt his fingertips brushing against the end of Eleanor's hair, smelling the fragrance left in Miss Priest's hair, and felt satisfied.

The adventure paid off.

Personally speaking, Aaron has improved the Warlock professional level twice in a row, becoming an elite Chaos Warlock/Warrior, and expanding the list of spells.

In terms of wealth, although there are some concessions on the final loot, the total wealth gained from this adventure is as high as 6000 Golden Lion Coins!Calculated according to the share of the three people, Aaron got 1800 Golden Lion coins in cash.

Obtain two pieces of magic equipment, namely the non-ordinary magic equipment sapphire flashing necklace, and the rare magic equipment frost giant belt. The value of these two pieces of equipment is more than 3000 golden lion coins.

In terms of reputation, Aaron has gained a reputation at the village and town level through this adventure. I believe that in time, his name will spread throughout Cormyr.

This is "fame" and "prestige".

Fame is a very strange thing. It can't be seen clearly, it can't be touched, sometimes it's worthless, and sometimes it's extremely important. A high Fame can't allow adventurers to gain the slightest combat power in battle, and even help them Attract more enemies, greedy hunters, opportunists eager to get ahead.

In the early stage of the adventurer, the popularity can only affect the interaction with others most of the time.

However, if you want to step into the legendary realm, if you want to become a god, then "famousness" and "fame" are extremely important!

Wanting to be promoted to the legendary field itself means that he is already a legend in the story.

This is even more so for the Conferred Gods. When Van der Longthorn, one of the founders of the Harper Alliance, successfully conferred the Conferred Gods, he was easily accepted by the gods, because for thousands of years, as a legendary bard, he Countless legends have been left in the whole kingdom, good, bad, right, wrong, smart, and stupid, so when he conferred the gods in the turbulent years, all the gods easily accepted him .

In contrast, the Red Knight of Tethyr was also conferred the title of god during the turbulent years. She also created an almost mythical epic victory and led the "Red Falcon" army to guard Tethyr in the turmoil, repelling ten Multiple attacks by enemies more than twice as strong.

But his great deeds are much weaker than Van der Dragon Thorn, almost completely relying on the god of battle Tempus to forcibly promote him into a god with a powerful attitude of divine power and a character of no brains to protect his weaknesses, so among the gods, he is extremely powerful. How unconvinced, even with the full support of the God of Battle, she still has to face countless challenges.

The higher the "famous degree", the easier it is to be accepted by the gods. It is said that whether you can be a god is also related to the gods.

Compared with other mortals, Aaron needs "famousness" more, because the four gods of chaos like to be famous!Even Nurgle, who is the laziest and doesn't like to make troubles, also hopes that his father's love can be spread all over the world!

As long as everyone accepts the love of a loving father, the world will surely become a beautiful world!

So, dear father, when will your love come?

Sensing the power of Nurgle still tightly closed in his body, Aaron sighed slightly.

Tzeentch and Slaanesh, the two good brothers have shortcuts to their powers, and the two good brothers Khorne and Nurgle obviously don't intend to release the water.

"what happened?"

His sigh was heard by Eleanor, and the pastor, who was originally planning how to grasp the topic, immediately turned around with concern, her eyes glowing with watery tenderness: "This kind of thing is always inevitable, Aaron, don't be sad .”

Why don't you be sad?Aaron was stunned for a while, and he suddenly understood.

Eleanor thought he was sad because the trio broke up, and Asha had left the team to have fun, and she didn't plan to come out to take risks in the next few months.

"You are still by my side, why should I be sad?" Aaron continued to play with Eleanor's hair, and said with a smile: "If you leave, I will be really sad!"

Unexpectedly, Eleanor seemed to think of something suddenly. She glanced at Aaron carefully, turned her head away, and pretended to say casually: "Speaking of which, I got the holy object of my lord this time."

The pastor's tone was normal, without any ups and downs, but she kept secretly looking at Aaron from the corner of her eye.

Who is Aaron?He almost understood what Eleanor was implying in seconds, and said with a light smile, "Yes, it must be the blessing of Our Lady of Silver that the holy relic of our lord has suffered so much and can be returned to our hands."

"Well! But the sacred object is of no use in my hands, it should be placed in the temple." Eleanor pointedly: "What do you think of the open-air altar in Shenhai Town?"

"I think so too." Aaron nodded immediately, and the Miss Priest looked expectantly, waiting for his next words.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Eleanor, I can rest assured that you can handle the matter!" Aaron patted Miss Pastor on the shoulder, cheering her up.

Before the words fell, Aaron felt a chill.

Miss Pastor pushed away his hand holding the tip of his hair, turned around and left.

"Wait." Aaron hurriedly followed: "Are you planning to go to the open-air altar in Shenhai Town alone to return the holy relic?"

"Otherwise?" Eleanor slowed down a little, her pointed ears pricked up under her blond hair, "Do you have any suggestions?"

There was a slight look of anticipation on the delicate face under the mask.

"I mean, you must pay attention to safety on the road!" Aaron said very seriously: "Girls must protect themselves when going out!"

This person must have lost his mind!The corners of Eleanor's mouth twitched wildly, she really wanted to smash a crack in Aaron's head with a warhammer, to see what was going on in his mind?
I have hinted so clearly!
Does he really understand or pretend to understand?

and many more!The pastor suddenly realized, and she turned around sharply.

Under the night, the radiant and charming handsome young man was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, and the teasing at the corner of his mouth was almost uncontrollable.

I lost again!Miss Pastor felt a sense of sadness in her heart, she pouted and stomped her feet.

Aaron immediately took her little hand, and said teasingly, "I don't seem to have anything wrong, why don't we continue to go to Shenhai Town together, and then return to Suzal together?"

"You decide for yourself, anyway, I'm going to Shenhai Town." The pastor turned her head away, and said coquettishly: "I'm just afraid that I will mess around if you don't have it. After all, you went in without me last time." The confinement room...you want me to rescue you."

"Yeah, Eleanor, I can't do it alone without you, so let's go together." Aaron immediately asked solemnly.

"Since you said that..." Miss Priest wanted to agree.

"So, why can't you be more frank, my dear Eleanor?" Aaron took a step closer, and he lifted the lady's golden bangs with his hand, and untied the ribbon behind her mask, revealing her brilliant bright face : "You know, I can't refuse your request."

snort!You nonsense fellow!Always likes to embarrass me!

Eleanor silently recorded another "bad debt" from Aaron in her heart, but when she thought of him agreeing to accompany her to Shenhai Town, her little anger was replaced by deep joy.

You also know that you can't live without me!
Yes, I am your watcher!
After taking off their masks, they held hands, and the two looked at each other with a smile, without saying anything.

The great Silver Virgin, I am really happy to be with him~
In fact, Aaron also needs to go to the Altar of Our Lady of Silver in Shenhai Town. He has something to meet with Su Lun and talk about his plans with the oldest goddess.

Many of his ideas require the support and cooperation of Su Lun.

By the way, test out his newly enhanced bloodline magic ability: the Ritual of Slaanesh!

"Let's go tomorrow." Aaron said directly.

"I'm fine, but don't you want to take another day off?" Eleanor held Aaron's big hand, feeling a warmth coming from his palm all the time, which was very comfortable.

"It's better for us to leave here quickly." When mentioning this matter, the smile on Aaron's face also faded a little.

Before, Leonard mentioned something to him.

Originally, the reinforcements that Aaron had agreed with Wanxing Town almost couldn't start!Because the lord of Dangerous Rock Fortress Bren Yongjian, who was stationed not far from the city, temporarily changed his mind and refused to send troops. If Leonard hadn't produced the official letter from the Purple Dragon Knights, the reinforcements from Evening Star Town would not have arrived as scheduled. !

It was an unusual signal, and Aaron remembered the letter he had intercepted.

How much has Son of Bane infiltrated this area?

It's better to leave as soon as possible.

————I am the dividing line that leaves as soon as possible———

The next day, early in the morning, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Queen's Blade, Your Excellency!" The leader was Queen's Blade, and Captain Hendry Higginson, Aaron's old acquaintance: "Please open the door!"

"What's the matter?" Aaron was still sleepy. He played cards with Miss Pastor very late last night.

"What? The Warlock caught it?"
