Crown of Chaos

PS: This is actually the second update from yesterday, sorry for being late hehehehe~

In May of 1364 in the Valley Calendar, the Sea of ​​Sword was calm and the sailing was smooth. The large sailing ship that Aaron and others took was sailing on the outer sea of ​​Sword Bay. One day later, the curtain of the Endless Sea had opened in front of Aaron.

There are many small islands in the west of the Sword Coast. Closer to Baldur's Gate, there are the ancient homes of the ancestors of Illuskan - the Whalebone Islands and Rusmu, as well as the people who are now in conflict with the Falk people and the elven branch. Moonshae Islands in Vail Commons.

Among them, the Moon Shadow Islands is a relatively magical place. Gods often appear here, including Baal, the Lord of Slaughter, Silvanus, the Father of Oak, Chantia, the Mother Earth God, Mara, the God of Hunting, and Tower of the Lord of Storms. Luo Sidu often appears here incarnation.

Levi elves - a subspecies of elves between sun elves and wood elves living on the Moonshadow Islands. There are rumors that the Levi elves are a branch of high elves. After the Crown War, they wanted to withdraw to Forever to avoid the war. Judao, but eventually suffered a shipwreck and was forced to stay in the Moon Shadow Islands.

Not far away is Myeongtan's free port. It serves as a neutral zone for enemies to meet, and as a recruiting ground for sailors to be entrusted with various tasks. The small island of Orenburg has a dangerous port and There is a strong market demand for professional ships, and it is still an independent and influential country.

The voyage started smoothly. Relying on Reinsdorf's wealth and the special recruitment skills of the bald singer Morgan, Aaron quickly temporarily bought a large ocean-going commercial ship from the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce. Morgan managed to scrape together the A group of sailors gathered together - it is said that the soul contracts of the sailors are all in Morgan's hands, and the big devil promised to terminate the contract as long as he completes the voyage.

There are many dog ​​gamblers among sailors.

In fact, the salary of ocean-going sailors is not low. After all, this industry is a hard-working job. The main thing is to return safely from the sea. Ocean-going sailors can get a lot of salary, even in a place as chaotic as Baldur's Gate. Knowing that ocean-going sailors cannot be owed wages, any ocean-going sailor who can prove that the captain or ship owner defaults on their wages can basically win the lawsuit in the Temple of Helm.

However, the mental pressure of ocean-going sailors is indeed unusually high. Regardless of whether they have been engaged in heavy physical work on the ocean for a long time, lived in the narrow environment of the ocean for a long time, dangerous routes, a small amount of rations, and all kinds of enemies, the ocean-going sailors have become extremely stressed. Most sailors developed strange hobbies, and gambling was one of them.

Once a person gets into gambling, it is only a matter of time before he signs a contract with the devil.

At first, the sailors were happy to hear that if they could complete an ocean voyage, they would be able to terminate the contract and get a large amount of money. However, when they discovered that the route led to a very distant place in the endless sea, the sailors were Their mood gradually became suspicious.

If the route of the Endless Sea is most famous for something, then it is undoubtedly the Isle of Evermeet - a fragment torn from the elven kingdom of Arvandor by the elven archmages through the magic of the Great Schism. It is home to a hundred people. There are 600,000 elves, and it has probably the most powerful navy in the world, and also has a naval fleet of the Elf Empire stationed there.

The sailors originally expected that this might be a trade with Evermeet Island, but Aaron was obviously going further afield.

What lies beyond the endless sea?

no one knows.

It is a land that no one mentions and no one knows about. Many explorers have been to those areas, and some of them were even able to find their way back. However, the stories they brought back changed from generation to generation. The legends about the completely different In the area, there are numerous island chains with wrecked ships, terrifying warriors wearing feathers, and large tracts of land that suddenly appear out of thin air as the seasons change.

The waves lapped against the side of the ship, and Aaron stood on the deck staring into the distance.

The sea and the sky meet, the blue sea and the clear sky are clear. The bright sun in May shines brightly on the ocean surface, and the salty sea breeze blowing in your face is mixed with a subtle fishy smell.

Now, I'm off to find Dorne.

Aaron silently felt the salty sea breeze blowing through the corners of his clothes and blowing up his hair.

He was delayed for some time here in Baldur's Gate because there were too many things that he needed to deal with at once.

Fortunately, he quickly found Baldur's chart. First, he did not alarm the entire Baldur clan, and second, he obtained the chart from the monarch without even spreading any rumors in Baldur's Gate. .

Aaron has always been wary and suspicious of this perfect mind flayer.

The monarch seems to know Bodean very well. It's not that he knows Bodean's life and deeds well, but he gives Aaron a particularly confident feeling. Generally speaking, even the most powerful scholars can only try their best. Restore the historical image of a historical figure based on existing records, but the monarch gave people the impression that he had served as a bodyguard for Bodean. He spoke confidently and arrogantly in a determined tone. The records Aaron saw in Candlekeep The documentation of Bodian's deeds reads like an academic treatise, while the monarch's words are more like memoirs.

interesting.

Even more interesting is the character of the monarch.

The monarch is the most standard lawful evil character.

There are actually two types of evil guardians. The first kind of evil guardian is the devil. Everyone is familiar with the devil, so I won’t talk about it here.

If the devil corresponds to lawyers and litigants, then the monarch's evil-keeping style is that of bureaucrats under the bureaucracy system.

Use it if it's useful, discard it if it's not. They talk about it for your own good, but they are all calculating in their hearts. They only report the results, not the process.

The mother and daughter of Julia, who had finally acquired it, gave it away as soon as they said they would, and they kept saying good things just to gain the greatest favor from Aaron. But when the paladin came to the door, they immediately cut her into pieces, but afterwards they emphasized that if something happened, I would take action.

The monarch always likes to talk about law and the tradition of Baldur's Gate. It seems that he is a person who abides by rules and procedures very much, but in fact, Aaron knows too well:

If you don't want to solve a problem, you have to start with systematization, programming, and standardization and push the problem into the system called system and let the problem go to the system. I can't accomplish anything, but I Never make a mistake.

If you really want to solve a problem, don't go through the motions.

These are the most typical evil-preserving bureaucracy.

In his previous life, Aaron was an ordinary civil servant. He knew too much about the knowledge left by his ancestors, and it took a lifetime to study it!

It's just that he doesn't need to use it in this life.

The monarch himself is a CPU master. From the first meeting to when he deliberately said that he would like Aaron (Aaron didn't believe this at all, because if he really knew him, the monarch's transformed image should be different in some places. Obviously he was just (I made a universal elf beauty template), from the moment the two parties started negotiating until the monarch took the initiative to admit that he needed Aaron more, the mind flayer's routines were repeated layer by layer.

What is the origin of this mind flayer?

No matter what the background of this mind flayer is, Aaron only plans to cooperate with him this time. It is too dangerous to have such a guy as a partner, as the betrayed Lady Julia is proof.

Then there's the matter of Rogal Dorn.

Aaron frowned.

How he faces this primarch will largely determine the path he takes in the future.

The power of Nurgle is calling, calling constantly. Aaron believes that there must be factors in Roggedorn that fully activate Nurgle's power.

As the tribune of the Imperial Guard, La-Endymion, Aaron didn't quite understand why the stone men of Holy Terra were related to Nurgle's great love?

I believe this matter will be answered soon.

In addition to the busy sailors on the deck, the demon prince Annuoming was also standing on the deck. Aaron noticed that Charlotte was holding Eleanor and whispering something. Miss Priest blushed and endured the humiliation but did not run away. The eldest lady. They kept gesticulating, with expressions of excitement and expectation on their faces. They looked in the direction of Aaron from time to time. The matter must be related to them.

An Nuoming, how do you feel? Aaron asked the demon prince: Is this your first time going to sea?

Before my mother got sick, I basically never left the pasha palace in Calimport. Annuoming's freshness about going to sea for the first time has disappeared, replaced by thoughts about his own life: I have some problems now. We understand why the young people in Calimport are so keen on going to sea. At sea, they are their own kings.

You also have a sea of ​​your own, and I have given you the boat. Aaron crossed his arms and looked at the blue sea and sky with Annuoming: The question is, Annuoming, what is your dream?

I don't know. An Nuoming was a little confused: I only want to punish evil people, especially those powerful people like my brother, but I don't understand. Obviously I am punishing those powerful people, but the civilians who are oppressed by them are not. They see me as a thug who brings justice to them, but they see me as evil.”

Because many times, order is more important than kindness. I can tell you a lot of truths, but I think you have to find the answer yourself. If you can't figure out why you are fighting, then the power of chaos will gradually swallow you up. In my heart. Aaron nodded: Actually, I don't want you to take this path, but you have already gone.

What about you? Sir, what is your ideal? An Nuoming was still thinking.

I guess I'll find out soon enough. Aaron looked at the horizon.

This is the last power of Chaos.

All the answers will be revealed on the island of Bodean.

…………

The news of Aaron's departure to sea could not be hidden from Billak. As soon as Aaron left, Billak immediately ordered Baal's Death Eaters to take action.

Bring Eboud Adrian to me!

The followers of Baal, the King of Slaughter, soon began activities in Candlekeep. One of the guardians of Baldur's Gate, the retired old Gillian, felt the wind, and he immediately left Candlekeep with Eboud Adrian. fort.

The adoptive father and son were attacked by Baal's Death Eaters and Chaos monsters outside Candlekeep. Fortunately, they were rescued by a fat sun elf archmage, Barrell, but Old Gillian was seriously injured, and he asked Elf to save him. Bude first went to the friendly arms of Belgost to find his two good friends Khalid and Jaheira.

On the way, Eboud met Imoen. The quirky sister Emoun told her childhood sweetheart, the brother next door, that he might be the son of Baal like her. Unfortunately, Eboud thought that Imoen was talking nonsense. Just didn't take it seriously.

Arriving at the Friendly Arms, Eboud met Khalid and Jaheira. What left Aimeng speechless was that his brother Eboud immediately fell in love with Jaheira as soon as he saw the beautiful wife and the druid Jaheira in the green garden. He couldn't walk anymore, and the green light in his big brother Eboud's eyes didn't even hide it at all.

Can you wipe the saliva from your mouth, brother Eboud!

complained little Imoen.

Jaheira and Khalid were getting the call of the Verdant Gardens at this time and were preparing to go to Baldur's Gate to fight the rat tide. Jaheira asked Eboud and Imoen if they were interested in going together.

Eboud is actually not interested in the national security and fighting evil that Jahira and Khalid talk about. His attitude is very simple: I will go wherever Jahira goes.

The four of them hit it off immediately and headed straight towards Baldur's Gate, forgetting Gillian's instructions.

History has undergone drastic changes because of Aaron's appearance, and it has begun to move towards an unknown future.
