After setting up a tombstone for the Battle Mage, Aaron and Eleanor parted ways temporarily.
As the pastor of Our Lady of Silver, Eleanor has to report to Our Lady of Silver Church in Sousal. According to her, she has a mission.
Although Aaron felt that this task was most likely to monitor and assist him, since the pastor lady was not going to tell the truth, Aaron, as a gentleman with the power of sexual evil, naturally wanted to save face for the pastor lady and not expose her.
Many temples in the city have hotel functions, and for their believers, temple hotels are much cheaper than hotels outside.
Some gods' temple hotels are comparable to luxury hotels, such as the temple of the Lady of Fortune or the Lady of Fire.
Of course, it's expensive.
Some temple hotels can only be regarded as a place to protect themselves from the wind and rain. For example, the temple hotel of the Passion God only has a roof and a place to sleep. A dozen people squeeze into a room with thatch spread under them.
However, the God of Suffering is really generous to mortals. His temple has always provided free magical treatment of level 1 and below, and provided food and shelter to the poor for free. If travelers really cannot afford the money, the temple will not turn them away.
No, the living conditions in the hotel are not good.
You should find a way to let the pastor lady live in your home!
As a supervisor, how can you do it without personal surveillance?
Aaron thought for the pastor's sake with justice and empathy.
Let's talk about it in the evening. The two have already agreed to have dinner at Salian's house that evening.
Aaron also has his own things to do.
After he came out of the cemetery, he first went to the Purple Dragon Knights.
The Purple Dragon Knights' fortress in Susar is not difficult to find. It is a large independent castle with its own city walls and fortifications. Even if the city wall is captured, as long as the Purple Dragon Knights and the palace do not fall, the attackers will
There is still a very long war to fight.
At this time, the fortress gate of the Purple Dragon Knights was closed tightly, and Aaron didn't know what was happening here.
"What happened?"
The older guard spread his hands with a playful smile: "Who knows?"
Aaron rolled his eyes.
The guards at the fortress gate are all served by many retired senior knights. They just lack a little strength or a little luck (or maybe they lack someone who can speak for them). Most of these guards are just right.
At a barely elite level, he is not very outstanding among professionals, but he is better because of his rich experience.
If these guards face a battle, the first five to ten rounds are no worse than some young knights.
Therefore, for the fortress guards, youth means naivety, youth means innocence, and youth means wrong.
Aaron is too young.
Although the guard was very rude, Aaron did not fight back with words. He just smiled and snapped his fingers in front of the smiling guard.
"Snapped!"
boom!
A ball of pink flame larger than a bull exploded in front of the guard, and the blast of air knocked the guard to the ground.
It wasn't over yet, the pink cloud quickly formed into several fire monsters, and they rushed toward the guard while laughing wildly. They opened their mouths and exposed their teeth, biting the guard's face directly.
"Don't kill me! Don't!" The guard sat down on the ground, covered in sweat, and was about to struggle when he realized it.
Nothing at all.
The flame does not exist, the fire demon does not exist, and the teeth do not exist.
The only one who existed was the young nobleman with his back to the light, smiling at himself, and snapping his fingers.
It's illusion magic! The well-informed guard turned pale and quickly stood up to apologize.
An ordinary purple dragon knight is one thing, but a magic spellcaster is another!
Haven't you seen that so many warriors are eager to advance to the arcane knight sub-class, just to get a few low-level magics and greatly enhance their combat flexibility?
"There's shooting training going on inside, Mr. Master!" A flattering smile appeared on the guard's face: "To prevent accidental injury, the main door is closed. If you want to go in, continue to your right. There is a small door there.
In and out.”
Aaron thanked the guard and continued walking forward.
A small white door appeared in front of him, with a portrait of a god painted on the door.
This is a human woman wearing a luxurious robe, with a noble and elegant temperament, and wears a simple gold crown on her long platinum hair.
She is the goddess of luck, Taimora, also known as the Lucky Lady. This goddess has great influence in Susar. The largest temple in Susar is the temple of Taimora - the scale of this temple is comparable to the Purple Dragon.
Knights' Fortress.
No one hates good luck, and no one can disrespect a lucky lady.
Taimora's influence in Cormyr has been continuously expanding in recent years, because it was in the turbulent year two years ago that Taimora came to Arabelle, the largest city in the north of Cormyr, as a saint.
Staying at the Lady's Pavilion, chatting and laughing with mortals there. As long as any mortal pays enough gold coins, he can meet the goddess, shake hands, taste fine wine and food together, tell interesting stories to the goddess, or sit around the fire and listen to the goddess's outer plane.
Interesting people and interesting things to explore.
There are even occasionally one or two high-quality men who can win the favor of the goddess and become her guests.
The goddesses have appeared in front of you, and naturally the influence of the lucky lady in Cormyr is growing.
But Arabel City is now in ruins - during the Goblin War a few months ago, the orc Khan Turgeon, under the command of the ancient red dragon, led a large group of orc tribes to occupy the place and set fire to all the temples of the gods.
They soared.
The ancient red dragon and the former King Asan IV of Cormyr died together. Cormyr, which suffered heavy losses, was unable to regain the city of Arabelle. The current regent of the kingdom, Alice Serre, ordered people to take in Arabelle's refugees and temporarily live in Susar.
The small door was also guarded, and Aaron used the opportunity to charm the human beings past.
Now he can cast this spell as easily as breathing.
"Please wait a moment, Lord Salian, someone is coming." The guard said loudly, trying to cover up the noise nearby.
A heavily armed knight came forward. He was wearing a standard purple dragon knight's full-body plate armor, with three fleur-de-lis pinned to his helmet. A tattered purple robe was wrapped around his polished breastplate.
The two long mustaches paired with his thick mustache fully demonstrate his masculine charm, but the hair on his smooth and shiny forehead is already sparse.
With his thin and sunken cheeks, deep eye sockets, and long and protruding nose bridge, Aaron would feel uncomfortable every time he saw him.
This person is Ian Hutson, the Grand Instructor of the Purple Dragon Knights and the Grand Inspector General. He is a master professional. In addition to being a powerful Purple Dragon Knight Instructor, he is also responsible for the finance and logistics of the Knights.
discipline.
"Ouch, who is this? Isn't this the little chick from the Salian family?" Ian glanced at Aaron with the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Why is he back alone?
Where’s the mission?”
"I'm just here to write a mission report, Grand Master." Aaron said calmly.
"How dare you write a mission report when you come back alone?" Ian stared at Aaron, observing Aaron's changes with his small eyes sunken into the sockets, and sneered: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's right, after all, you really have to get used to the next one.
People have lost their lives!”
"Wow wow wow, do you need me to give you some time to go to the lounge and cry alone? Woo woo woo... dad... mom~" The Grand Instructor of the Purple Dragon Knight looked at Aaron's mental state and found that although he was
A person comes back without feeling depressed or sad at all, and suddenly feels bored: "I'm just telling you the truth."
"And I want to tell the truth to Her Highness Alice Serre. Our Chief Inspector General, can you let me in?" Aaron's face showed no expression.
This person is so annoying. After more than ten years in charge of financial logistics and supervision, he can no longer communicate with others normally.
"Are you really not going to tell me what happened between you and Irina? I saw her having sex with Baron Bradley before~" Ian clapped his hands and laughed: "So you were really dumped by her?
Wow, no, I should really ask everyone to come and see the little chick who has become so handsome even though the mission failed~"
"Well said, so where is your female mage apprentice? Didn't you say that you were squeezed to death by her delicate little hands? Oh, my little sweetheart, my light of life, the fire of my soul...
"Aaron also imitated Ian's expression and gestured: "Speaking of it, this seems to be your twenty-sixth introduction partner. Tell me, Ian, has the priest of the Fire-haired Lady Church followed you?
The guard said, don’t let this water ghost come again, otherwise we will have to find a female ogre to have a blind date with him!”
Every time Aaron said something, Ian's face turned darker. The Purple Dragon Grand Instructor stared sinisterly at the greatly changed junior in front of him, as if his mouth was blocked and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how.
What to fight back.
"Oh, let me think about it, what is the journey of Your Majesty the Great Master? Falling in love, stabilizing the relationship, getting engaged, getting married, buying a house, having a baby, having an extramarital affair, continuing to have babies, getting divorced, being alone, and going to the Kingdom Court for property division.
There was a huge quarrel over the visitation rights to the temple... Where has our dear Grand Master reached?" Aaron counted the numbers on his fingers, pretending to be surprised, and covered his mouth with his hands: "Ouch~ It seems that even the first
There are no steps!”
"Tell me, dear Grand Master, are you planning to enter a nursing home like this?" the young Viscount reminded kindly.
Every time Aaron said something, the muscles on Ian's thin, black face would twitch a few times.
The guard next to him was laughing so hard that he almost fainted.
"Hmph~ It seems that the little chick is fine."
For a long time, Ian Hutson, whose face was darker than the Holy Emblem of Lady Night, managed to force a smile.
For a moment, Aaron caught a hint of relief from Ian's eyes, but before he could recognize it, this subtle emotion disappeared.
"Welcome back to Susaal alive, little chick."
"Come here, take him to the library. Our little chick has to write a report on the failure of the mission."
"Hopefully he doesn't misspell the word."
"yes!"
————I am the dividing line of the little chick————
In the library, Aaron briefly wrote a mission report, reporting the reasons for the failure of the mission, the enemies encountered, the intelligence collected, battle losses and deaths.
When reporting losses, Aaron directly filled in the loss of a war horse, the loss of a full set of weapons and equipment, and the loss of a carriage. He thought about it and felt that the cost of the Nine Rings Miracle Technique would never be reimbursed, so he simply
Written on it.
After completing the report, Aaron sealed the report with paraffin, stamped it with a red Conrad Ring seal, and placed it in the box.
This is called "documenting".
The archivist of the Purple Dragon Knights will send it to the Supreme Lord of the Purple Dragon Knights, the quasi-legendary powerhouse Staval, or send it to the Purple Dragon Regent Queen Alice Thel. This is a "file"
.
After recording the file, Aaron must go home and wait for news. Wait until the Supreme Lord or the Queen Regent reads his report. Aaron cannot leave Susar until one of them has read it.
Normally, if the mission goes well, the Supreme Lord or the Queen Regent will give two sentences of approval and reward. After confirmation, Aaron can move around freely.
This is the most normal procedure.
But Aaron felt that what he had to face was probably the second type.
His identity as Viscount Salian, the sudden awakening of his talent as a caster, his awakening of charisma, the failure of all his teammates to die in battle, the emergence of the Queen's Blade, and matters involving the Silver Virgin, Aaron's report can only be sent to
He was handed over to the Queen Regent to read personally in the palace, and then it was very likely that Princess Regent Alice Searle would order him to come to the palace to see him and explain the situation.
It should take a few days from filing to summoning. He had to prepare well. At the same time, Aaron also had to confirm a question.
How does the Princess Regent feel about him? Is this country suitable for him to continue to stay?
I believe there will be answers in the subsequent summons.
Coming out of the Purple Dragon Knights Fortress, Aaron walked along the clean and tidy road, facing the weak sunshine at around four o'clock in the afternoon, and walked home.
Salian's house is located in the Sanguan District, a wealthy area of Sousal. All the dignitaries live here. It was once a symbol of the wealth of the Salian family's ancestors. The house covers an area of about 230 square meters, with a rear
The garden has a construction area of three floors, with a total of 14 rooms including two servant rooms, underground warehouse, wine cellar, independent bakery, kitchen, study room, 5 bedrooms, etc.
Since Aaron's grandfather, Earl Salian, was completely defeated in Tukan's great invasion and was killed by nomads like a father beating his son, the furious Assan IV ordered the title to be transferred and confiscated, and all the people with the surname of Salian were deprived of their surnames and exiled.
After arriving in Guangze in the east, this mansion was inherited by Aaron's father.
Manuel, Captain of the Purple Dragon Knight, Aaron's father, was the only one who did not participate in that fiasco. As an outstanding knight of the Purple Dragon Knight who accompanied King Assan IV in the north and south, he escaped this incident.
After a disaster, he was allowed to retain the title of viscount, the Salian surname, and the family mansion located near the palace.
Although my father was very secretive about how miserably his grandfather's family lost and what mistakes they made, judging from the fact that no one in the kingdom's nobles spoke up for his family, it seems that the honor and reputation that had been lost for hundreds of years were completely destroyed.
I believe some people will have questions after reading this. Since the title of Viscount is a title subordinate to the earl and cannot be inherited, and the title of earl and the fiefdom of the Salian family have been confiscated, then how did Manuel's title of Viscount Salian pass to Aaron?
of?
The reason is very simple. Manuel and his wife sacrificed their lives for the country in the Saint Catastrophe two years ago. They died in the battle at the gate of the northern city of Tifanton. It is said that they were killed by several drow in the melee.
Assan IV felt pity for his loyalty and bravery to the country, and the king ordered that the title of viscount be granted for one more generation.
That's why everyone calls Aaron "The Last of Salian."
In this family, it is a miracle that this title of Viscount has been passed on to Aaron after all the hardships. No matter how you look at it, it will be impossible to pass it on.
This family, which has lasted for 900 years and worshiped the Silver Virgin Mary Sullun for more than 700 years, seems to have come to an end here.
