After returning home, Aaron first took out the information given to him by the Princess Regent and started reading.
Sit down firmly, light the fire, close the window, Aaron sat in the study, glanced at a pair of weapons hanging on the fireplace, many animal heads, and remembered his father pointing at himself in the study and scolding him.
Waste time.
Stop scolding, stop scolding, father, I am really working hard to realize your wish.
Aaron couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing as I have worked so hard, father, you don’t need to thank me too much. Just don’t mind if I take advantage of your wish.
After all, "Father's Wish" is so useful that once you use it, you can't stop using it.
Thinking about it carefully, both father and mother seemed to have died fighting under the city of Tifanton in the north of the kingdom. According to fellow knights, they may have been killed by drow, but there is no definite evidence. The battlefield was very chaotic at the time.
No one can be sure what happened.
And I also have a close relationship with a big sister Bai Pi Zhuoer.
Have you seen it? Father and mother, I am avenging you.
Just wait, Sister Nastia, when I gain strength, I will take you down!
Aaron has secretly... even openly put the mark of Slaanesh on Nastia. He can now vaguely feel the general direction of Nastia. The dark elf sister is far away from him now, and her position is always
It's a change.
Another target who was secretly marked with the Mark of Slaanesh is steadily living in the direction of the palace.
I don’t think so much now, in the future they will all be branded with the stigma of chaos sooner or later.
Aaron untied the silk thread on the document bag and began to read the news about Countess Arabelle Millman-Laure.
The news about the Cormyr female great nobleman Millman Raul has been mentioned before, that is, this landless nobleman is Countess Arabelle. She lost her fief in the Goblin War and is currently bringing her retainers and
A small number of private troops are temporarily stationed in Susar. She is a master ranger and a devout follower of the lucky lady Tymora.
There is more detailed information in the information provided by Alice Searle.
Milman-Laur was born in 1323 of the Vale calendar. Countess Arabelle was born as a commoner. She was also an adventurer in her early years. She traveled to most places in the country, including the legendary Evermeet Island.
This earned Millman-Raul a lot of money and honors, and also won the recognition of the former king Assan IV. He recruited her and appointed her as the general of the kingdom. Millman was happy to settle in Cormyr and serve as the general of the kingdom.
The kingdom has made numerous military exploits.
At this time, Millman was not yet thirty years old.
The real key to Millman's title was the rebellion in 1352 of the Valley Calendar. The northern Earl of Arabelle and Lord Gondgar declared independence and called himself King of Arabelle, trying to establish an independent kingdom centered on Arabelle.
As a result, the news of his rebellion was learned by Millman-Laure, and the female general managed to let Assan IV know the news of Gondgar's betrayal at the first time.
Assan IV reacted quickly. The king who was on an expedition immediately negotiated peace with the enemy, and quickly assembled a reinforcement force composed of Tifanton, Zambia, Susar and Valley troops, with the Susar army as the main body and the Purple Dragon Knights.
The backbone of the army reached Arabelle at lightning speed.
In just eight days, from the announcement of the betrayal to the suppression of the rebellion, King Arabel of Gondgarh only sat on the throne for eight days.
Therefore, King Arabelle, the "usurper" and the "lost king" also got a brand-new nickname, called "Eight-Day King", and his Kingdom of Arabelle was also ridiculed as "Eight-Day Kingdom".
Cormyr's quick response was praised by the bard as the "Purple Dragon Retreat".
Milman-Laure contributed greatly in this war, so she was appointed commander of Arabelle's garrison, and eventually received the title of Countess of Arabelle after proving herself to be an excellent ruler.
The Countess is considered a very wise (but hot-tempered) ruler. She ruled Arabelle for eight years, and finally lost her territory in the Goblin War at the beginning of the year. Now Milman-Raul is using all his power to try to
Raise an army to take back what's hers.
Aaron frowned when he saw this. Less than a year had passed since the Goblin War. The kingdom's army suffered heavy losses. The king died in the battle, and the ancient dragon also died. However, there are still more than 20,000 orcs entrenched in Arabelle!
It's an orc, not a goblin!
Every adult orc is a qualified warrior, otherwise he will be used as feed for livestock. There are even legends that orcs will actively kill orc babies who are short and not strong enough.
Aaron continued to read.
Milman-Laure had two marriages. Her first husband, Duck, was a gambling dog. They had a daughter, but her husband sold her daughter to pay off her debts, so Milman divorced him.
Her second husband was named Haverstrom, who was also an adventurer. The two lived happily after marriage, but Hallstrom soon died in an ambush during the adventure.
Aaron noted that her second husband Haverström was a cousin of the former king Assan IV.
Therefore, Ms. Raul is not a true grassroots counterattack, an inspirational story about an adventurer who became a great nobleman. She first became the wife of a great nobleman, and then became a general of the kingdom.
Alice Searle would also like to call Ms. Lauer her cousin.
At the end of the information, some trivia about Ms. Raul was mentioned: his first husband reappeared after she became Countess Arabelle, who wanted to beg his ex-wife who had become a nobleman because she owed a lot of gambling debts.
Help, he told people everywhere that I was the Countess' real husband, and was eventually arrested and imprisoned for murder.
Milman-Laur met with him as a judge. Her ex-husband told her the news that their daughter was not dead, but was sold by him to pay off gambling debts. Now you can give me a large sum of money to pay off the debts.
Let me off the hook and I'll tell you where she is.
Ex-husband Duck thought he was bound to win because he knew how much his ex-wife loved his daughter.
As a result, the angry countess stabbed her ex-husband directly in front of the court, causing blood to splash in the court.
Okay, this is very neutral and kind, Aaron likes it.
Later, she formed an investigation team through her connections and wealth in the great nobility to find her daughter. However, her daughter is now living happily as an ordinary person and has no idea about her life experience. Ms. Raul is not willing to disturb her daughter's life.
She gave up on recognizing each other in life, and instead adopted another girl who was mistaken for her daughter during the investigation, and truly raised her as her own daughter.
She is also the first heir to the title of Countess. Whoever can marry this girl named Christine will become the husband of the next Countess Arabelle.
Well, she is only 13 years old.
Well, loan countess, because Arabelle is still in the hands of the orcs.
Aaron put down the document bag and had a deeper understanding of this fiery-tempered, fair and sage, neutral and kind-hearted countess. He knew that if he wanted to join the Arabelle Restoration Army, then he must have a relationship with this claimed countess.
deal with.
Aaron covered his head.
Traditionally, there are three ways to establish a fiefdom.
One, find a female aristocrat with a fiefdom to marry into your marriage, such as...Aaron Obeschier.
Second, claim a title based on blood ties. For example, when a certain nobleman dies without a designated heir, Aaron, as the son of the husband's younger brother of the wife of the real nobleman, can stand up and claim that he is the correct heir.
Third, just like Ms. Raul, if you stand in the right position and make contributions in the battles of the great nobles, the king may transfer the title and fief to you.
Aaron chose the more difficult path: regaining lost ground.
But he also felt that he did have an obligation to do something for Cormyr. The refugees in Arabelle were suffering in the increasingly cold weather.
He only talks but does not do anything, only expresses sympathy and does not do any practical things. So what is the difference between him and Manakorn-Anaheim, who "should let the country people go back to the country"?
So...what I should do now is...
In the study, Aaron took out a stick wrapped in thick linen.
Even though it has been wrapped tightly in linen, tied tightly with thick hemp rope and tied with a chain blessed by Pastor Su Lun, the stick-like object is still emitting wisps of evil visible to the naked eye, and the thick black smoke has already
The linen was completely blackened and corroded in many places.
This thing is the "Deadwood Staff" left by the master druid, the Earthwalker Rodok, to Aaron.
Aaron put the staff on the shelf, untied the chains and hemp ropes with his bare hands, and opened the linen.
The corroded magic power and the curse-filled resentment on the dead wood staff immediately rushed to Aaron's face, and the black smoke turned into a crazy and ferocious figure, shooting straight for Aaron's chest!
"roll!"
Aaron uttered a word lightly, his eyes were focused, and the eight-pointed star emblem of chaos flashed in his sky-blue eyes.
The power of chaos across the universe occasionally reveals itself.
"咻~咻~咻咻咻咻咻!" The magic power and resentment of the dead wood staff immediately retracted into the staff as if they had seen something extremely terrifying. This extremely rare magic weapon was completely black and only had a skull on the top.
Objects shivered on the shelves.
Even the figure turned into black smoke immediately made gestures and expressions begging for mercy. Seeing that Aaron had no intention of taking action, it immediately retracted its staff.
The dead wood staff finally calmed down, at least in Aaron's sight, it stopped moving.
This thing still wants to corrupt me, the son of chaos, right?
Aaron complained speechlessly.
Chaos has always been the only one that corrupts others. How can anything else corrode chaos?
Do you understand the value of four good brothers? Earth Walker?
Putting his hand on the surface of the dead wood staff, Aaron probed his magic power into the staff, feeling the knowledge and power contained in the staff, and of course the resentment of the Earthwalker Rhodok.
All I can say is that humans are really complex animals.
The deadwood staff left behind by Rhodok the Earthwalker is an example.
This staff left behind the endless hatred and resentment of the Earthwalker. He hated it very much. He hated all mortal creatures. He hated the Cormyrs, hated humans, and hated all those who destroyed nature. He wished that all mortals in the kingdom would be destroyed.
Kill them all and return the world to its original beauty.
But the staff is also full of love and hope, Rodok's love for the little tree, and his last obsession - to send the staff back to Hurek Forest.
The staff is filled with Rhodok's magic power that has begun to corrupt and corrupt.
The staff is also filled with all of Rhodok's wisdom, a complete set of inheritance about druid knowledge, his knowledge, etc. It details the path of the earth association in the way of druid.
The wise men who founded the Earth Society guarded ancient knowledge and various traditional rituals.
The druids of the Earth Society gather under the ring of the sacred tree or in the stone circle. They communicate in low voices in Druid language and pass on the original secrets. The wisest members of the society have a distinguished status. They are like members of the order.
The chief priest also upholds the ancient oaths and preaches and resolves doubts among the people under his leadership.
As a member of the association, the rituals of the Earth Association establish a mysterious connection with the druid, allowing the druid's magic to be affected by the earth.
So when Rhodok, the Earthwalker, lets Aaron hold the staff, does he want to harm him, does he want him to return the staff, or does he want him to get his druid heritage, his decades of wisdom and knowledge?
It seems like they both have it, but they don’t seem to want it either.
So humans are really complex creatures.
When Aaron read online articles in his previous life, he often imagined that all people were "purely rational animals", also known as "vacuum spherical people". After calculating the best choice for the characters at the time from the perspective of God, he immediately criticized the book.
Why don’t the characters choose this way? But in fact, when really involved in an incident, very few people can remain absolutely rational.
This is the case with Rodok. He came to awaken the snake people, but when the snake people regarded him as an accomplice, he did not hesitate to help Aaron fight and died. When he was dying, the Earth Walker was probably
He wanted to take revenge on Aaron, and wanted to send back the staff, but he was reluctant to part with his own magic power and knowledge.
In the end, the dead wood staff looked like this.
But Aaron found the contract between the earth walker and the way of nature from the dead wood staff.
He pressed his hand on the contract, and the chaotic magic followed the contract on the staff and began to connect with the laws of nature.
In this way, Aaron intends to practice the druidic ways of casting spells and communicate with the winds of life through his connection with nature.
He didn't know if he could succeed, but he planned to give it a try.
Sure enough, as Aaron injected magic power into the deadwood staff, he began to feel that the world was different.
Magic, dyed with color.
Green, lots of green, more and more green!
He felt the green energy surrounding every part of the world. It was the power of nature, the power of nature's laws, and the source force that constituted the origin of the world.
Whether it is the polar regions, coasts, deserts, forests, grasslands, mountains, swamps, or dark areas, the power of nature is everywhere, and the laws of nature govern all things.
Everything is in order and moves around the world.
The power of nature constitutes the cycle of life, which reincarnates endlessly from life to life.
The force of nature is sometimes very powerful, such as the forest sea in summer and the ocean at high tide.
The force of nature is sometimes not so strong, such as grasslands in winter and human farmland.
Aaron searched for the context of the power of nature. He evolved his magic power into the power of life. He followed the laws of nature and felt the logic of the druid's magic.
He felt that the force of nature that belonged to him operated more like rainfall. It was particularly easily attracted by water flow, spread across the earth, and then gathered into ponds or whirlpools full of life energy. Finally, it flowed like a green river that was not controlled by the laws of physics.
Overland, nourishing all flora and fauna in the basin.
Only Aaron could see this sight.
All things have animism.
Under Aaron's will, the magic power full of resentment and corruption in the deadwood staff changed. The black color faded and turned into a green wind. The magic energy was condensed and shaped by him into a trickle, swirling around his fingers.
