Crown of Chaos

Coming out of the Round Table Hall, Aaron took a look at the newly completed building. With the liberation of the power of chaos, the emblem of the eight-pointed star of chaos could be vaguely seen on the main entrance.

This will be the starting point for everything.

The Sunset Territory, which has just entered autumn, is still a bit hot. Not far away, the dwarf engineering team continues to build Aaron's Viscount Castle and Su Lun Mama's chapel in full swing. The white-bearded dwarf Kim Gong-Huowen saw Aaron coming out. He greeted him: Your Excellency?

Aaron knew that Kim Gong was asking if he was satisfied with the quality of the project, but the dwarves were so awkward. They didn't like to ask directly, because it would make them feel hurt if they were denied.

This is different from the elves. Recently, Aaron has been a little annoyed by the questions from Barrel. This guy has been studying astral magic recently. If he has any questions, he has to ask Aaron.

I'm a warlock, you ask me?

I am a warlock...

Aaron could only try his best to give answers.

Very good, great, I like it very much. Aaron smiled at Kim Gong-Fire Emblem, and he didn't know whether he was talking about the quality of the building or the good results of the talks with the Four Gods of Chaos.

Well, that's good. Jinmugong Fireweave touched his beard very proudly. He thought to himself that of course, besides the elves, we dwarves must have the best projects.

The dwarf master clapped his hands: Oh, by the way, Your Excellency, you said before that you need our firearm samples?

Yes. Aaron nodded.

There are firearms in the kingdom, but the power of the firearms in the kingdom is not as powerful as imagined. According to Aaron's knowledge from Elminster's books, there were firearms in the Imasca Empire a long time ago, and even There is also a profession specifically related to firearms-the artificer.

Then you'd better go see Foujar. Jinmugong gestured: This guy has been practicing the serpentine steel technique well recently. I heard that you want to make firearms, maybe he can help you. busy.

Aaron didn't say much, he just nodded to show he understood.

There are five large villages in the Sunset Territory. Among them, the village located near the castle of Viscount Aaron is called Coward Village. Its origin is unknown. Aaron changed the name of Coward Village to Starfall Town and transferred all his properties to it. Build on this.

Aaron currently owns four major industries: silver emulsion, silver incense, serpentine steel technology and astral magic. The first silver emulsion has been able to stably provide his wallet with at least 5,000 gold lions every month. Dividends from coins, and even so, such weak production capacity is still in short supply across the country.

However, with the establishment of the Round Table Palace, this situation will definitely improve.

The Silver Chamber of Commerce also brought Aaron a large number of clergy church members who participated in the construction of his territory. For example, from a distance, the Church of the Three Gods of Justice, the Church of Taimora, the Church of Fire, and the Church of Heim have already established themselves around Starfall Town. They set up chapels and began to preach the doctrines of their respective gods to attract civilians to join the religion.

Of course, there is no doubt that the most influential church in the Sunset Territory is the Silver Virgin Mother Suellen Church. Eleanor has been particularly keen on preaching since arriving in the territory. Miss Pastor always remembers her original duty: to spread Suellen to everyone in the country. The brilliance of Lun Mama.

And as Aaron once said to Su Lun Mama: Ignorant civilians actually don’t care at all about how ambitious your goals and ambitions are. They only care about the practical benefits of my believing in you? What can I gain by trusting you?

Eleanor's answer was also simple: Our church has very good financial resources. We believe that we can eat cookies, ale and barbecue for free on Sulon Holy Day, and we provide free relief to the poor.

The medical resources of our church are very good, and we have a dedicated medical team. As long as you believe that Su Lun is a follower of our Silver Holy Mother, the medical magic will be at half price.

As a result, Selun's faith immediately became the most common faith in the Sunset Territory.

Silver incense is already being prepared, and astral magic is already famous.

What we need to pay attention to now is Fujar's serpentine steel technology. After thousands of years, this forging technique invented by Saluk Wuhu has been successfully reproduced again.

How much benefit is there?

According to Fujar, the gross profit of normal dwarf forging equipment is 50%-60%, and the net profit after all costs are about 30%. However, weapons forged from serpentine steel are not only tough and sharp, but also inherently resistant to penetration. With the blessing of anti-charge, the gross profit from forging serpentine steel equipment can reach five times or even ten times, and the net profit after deducting all costs can also be three to five times!

This business is profitable!

One night, Fojar-Wilham proudly showed his results over the past few months to his father, God Moradin, and told him, I succeeded.

That night, the brilliance of Moradin's manifestation could be seen throughout the area around Feilongshui Lake.

Aaron soon found the Wilham Blacksmith Guild located near the Shepherd station of the Ninth Legion.

The bellows were blowing and the fire was burning. A few dwarf craftsmen and a large group of human apprentices were busy working around. From time to time, Fujar's violent roar could be heard.

His most common yell is Damn! This is not what I want!.

Aaron held back his laughter at the door. He noticed several Ninth Legion soldiers guarding the door and stopped in front of a soldier.

The soldier was about 1.7 meters tall, with tanned skin and a scar on his face. His hands were holding weapons tightly, and there was some sweat on his forehead. Seeing Aaron stop, the soldier immediately shouted reflexively. : See Your Excellency the Viscount! Private! Caron!

Hello, Private Caron. Aaron bent down and noticed that the private's boots were obviously one size too big: Your boots don't fit well.

Several soldiers around him burst into laughter. The superior soldier blushed and replied loudly: I'm sorry! Your Excellency!

Aaron pointed at the boots of the superior soldier, his eyes filled with golden light.

Metal wind!

The magic power of the metal wind enveloped Sergeant Karon's boots like water, and the boots shrank slightly, from not fitting to being fully fitted.

The surrounding soldiers, including the few young dwarves who poked their heads at the door, all opened their mouths.

Is this okay? !

What kind of magic is this?

Aaron raised the corners of his mouth calmly.

This is the difference between his Chaos Magic and Magic Network Magic. Magic Network Magic is a kind of restricted magic. Magic Network is not only a spellcasting aid that makes casters easy, fast and convenient, but it also limits the use of magic. Explore deeper.

Chaos magic does not have this problem. In theory, subspace energy can allow the caster to do anything, with just a few side effects.

Well, just a few hundred million.

Okay. Aaron stood up and patted Sergeant Caron on the shoulder: Can you tell me, soldier, why the military boots don't fit?

The Logistics Office provides uniform equipment, my Lord Viscount! Private Caron immediately replied: My feet are naturally small. I also asked, but Master Doherty said that the important thing is not the boots, but the boots. Do I have a strong heart?

Aaron frowned, thinking that although the logistics of the Ninth Legion was currently handled by the royal family, he would have to gradually take charge of it. This kind of problem the size of military boots seemed like a small matter, but in fact it was a big deal.

You are my soldiers and the face of the Sunset Territory. When you encounter problems, you should react instead of holding back. Although military life is very busy, don't forget these basic things. Aaron patted Private Caron. shoulder, smiled and said: It's okay, don't take it to heart... The wound on your forehead is the reason why you were promoted from private to private, right?

Yes! The superior soldier straightened his back proudly: Two weeks ago, we went to the Hurek Forest to deal with what was left by the lizard people!

Then did you kill it?

Beheaded to death, both ends! Caron shouted loudly.

Very good. Aaron nodded approvingly: Stand guard well, believe me, each of you will never lack opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future. Sergeants, non-commissioned officers, generals, knights, fiefdom knights, and even fiefdom titles will be given to each of you. Personal wave.”

During this time, Aaron had the Ninth Legion conduct some small-scale security battles.

As mentioned before, the Ninth Legion is composed of marines, city defense troops and some local militias who did not fully participate in the rebellion in the Suzal Fire but had stains on them. For the former, they felt that they were exiled, and for the former, they felt that they were exiled. As for the latter, they seriously lacked the confidence and combat experience to win, so the morale of the entire legion was relatively low.

The small-scale security battles helped them slowly regain their confidence. These soldiers fought against the lizard and jackal tribes in the Hurek Forest. They tasted victory but also suffered a lot of losses.

Some soldiers began to receive military honors and opportunities for promotion.

That's what I'm saying. When I promote people, I always only look at their strength and merit, not their background.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Aaron went in, and the soldiers looked at each other, their legs shaking with excitement, and they straightened their backs.

Good times are coming!

Entering the blacksmith's guild, Foujar already had his hands on his hips. The ugly dwarf master craftsman rolled his eyes at Aaron angrily: It's very majestic. My Lord Viscount, do you want me to give you a military salute too?

After saying that, Foujar straightened his back in a learned manner: Loyalty! Honesty!

Loyalty~ Aaron returned the salute and gave the Purple Dragon Knight military salute.

Foujar stared at Aaron and circled around him: Private Salian, your military boots don't fit well!

The important thing is not the boots, but the heart of the strong! Aaron replied seriously according to the dwarf's sense of humor.

Hahaha~ Fujal Wilhelm finally couldn't help it anymore. He laughed so loudly that he couldn't stop laughing for a while.

Foujar gasped and took a kettle from the wall, and drank a sip of strong dark beer: You finally understand the humor of our dwarves, my lord, I thought your head was It’s just granite.”

Faced with Foujar's joke, Aaron was not angry, but asked about serpentine steel technology and firearms.

Foujar is expanding his blacksmith shop.

Moradin sent a group of outstanding dwarf craftsman apprentices to learn the serpentine steel technology from Foggal. At the same time, Foggal also recruited some human apprentices locally in the Sunset Territory.

As soon as they heard that the dwarf blacksmith was recruiting apprentices and they would provide food and accommodation, the locals came in droves. Every farmer tried his best to recommend his son to Foujar. The successful ones celebrated by killing chickens and pigs, while the losers shed tears on the spot. Crying loudly, Eleanor privately complained to Aaron more than once during the recruitment interview scene.

Aaron knew that Foujar actually looked down on these human apprentices, but the blacksmith guild needed to take action after all. Foujar quickly gathered 70 or 80 people under his command, and the serpentine steel equipment brought The astonishing profits not only supported these apprentices, but also made Foujar consider expanding the scale of his blacksmith guild for the third time.

I want to expand the scale, Your Excellency, you should also expand the scale. Foujar said to Aaron: A business that is too profitable is easy to be targeted. You don't really think that those soldiers guarding the door Can you stop visitors with malicious intentions?

Think about those red-robed bald men in Serge. Who knows when they will sneak in and capture people's souls. I'm not kidding. Foujar said seriously.

Great Soul Forger, hasn't your father God manifested himself before? Aaron pointed to the nearly eight-meter-high, carefully carved statue of the dwarf father God Moradin enshrined in the middle by the blacksmith guild.

The last time I asked Father God to come forward, I already suffered a terrible shame. I used everything I had and my efforts to wash away this shame. Foujar said impatiently: You still want me to do it again ?”

This business won't be able to survive without two legends. Foujar concluded: Just like your silver lotion.

You're right, but where do so many legends come from? Aaron sighed: I just broke through the master level, buddy.

Forjar was also silent. The dwarf was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, so he could only answer Aaron's question with silence.

Yes, how can it be so easy to recruit legendary strong men?

In the country, many master-level professionals are already strong men of one side. They are either great nobles, worshipers of the city, or senior managers. No matter how bad they are, they are still small leaders of one side, let alone legendary strong ones. Magicians often have a proud history and strength. It is very difficult to recruit legendary strongmen who are not spellcasters, but legends of spellcasters are easier - because many spellcasters need huge amounts of real money to pay for their magic research.

Since taking office, the chief wizard of Cormyr, Fangda Hester, has minted nearly one million gold lion coins in the past few decades in order to study dragons.

As Barrel-Moonflower said, what kind of magic consultant do you want to hire for 500 gold lion coins? Don't think about it, it's just me. If you go anywhere else, you wouldn't be able to hire me for 5,000 a month. I'm just here to learn magic from you.

Let's not talk about it for now. Fujar carefully took out a large number of gold tickets with the Holy Emblem of Lady Joy Lierla from the safe, and handed them to Aaron's hands with some reluctance: According to the accounts and camp Collect, this is the dividend for these three months, a total of 27 gold tickets, a total of 26,500 gold coins, among which I have given discounts to some large orders, please take a look.

Aaron took the golden ticket and clicked it. The number was correct. He had not read the account carefully, but Eleanor and Barrel had both reviewed it, so there should be no problem.

Fojar looked at the stack of gold tickets and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The greedy dwarf master craftsman swallowed his saliva and stared at Aaron's hand, thinking about how much money it was.

According to the design of the Sousal Mint, 50 gold coins are one pound, so 10,000 gold coins are 200 pounds. If the gold tickets in Aaron's hand were completely replaced with gold, they would be a small mountain!

Foujar has rarely seen such a large amount of money. If he hadn't learned a lesson, he really wanted to hide it. As the person in charge, it would be too easy to do something...

Very well, now tell me, Foujar, how long did it take you to make up your mind to give the money directly to me? Aaron said with a half-smile.

The feeling that his soul was being spied on immediately made the dwarf craftsman angry: No! You bastard!

I'm very happy that you can overcome your greed. Who knew that Aaron thanked Fujar seriously: You dwarves have given me surprises again and again. Your Father God is, and so are you. This proves that You are a fine race, and you, Foggal-Wilham, are a fine blacksmith.

Humph~ What if? Forjar turned from anger to joy. The dwarf craftsman turned his head away and glanced at the statue of Moradin outside the window.

I will never cause you any more trouble, my Father God!

So, I have something new to share with you. Aaron pointed his fingers into the air, and following his fingertips, a whole set of forging techniques appeared in front of Foujar.

Grand, spectacular, detailed and enchanting.

Is this?! Foujar's eyes widened.

This is the war rune technology memorized in my bloodline! Aaron blinked: Brand new!
