Regarding the existence of secret societies in the Purple Dragon Knights, Aaron had already heard about it from Lucian's flag officer.
There is no way, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As mentioned before, there are countless small groups within any large group. Small groups are classified into each other because of their hobbies, identities, political views, and personal demands.
There is conflict, but there is also cooperation, and together they form a large group.
The National Salvation Army is also a small group among them. This party has been dissatisfied with Alice for a long time since her regency.
Do they dislike Alice Sayre's methods for being too radical and her rule being too domineering?
wrong!
They think the regent's methods are not radical enough! Her rule is not overbearing enough!
The National Salvation Soldiers will believe that what Cormyr's current national policy tree needs to do is to regain Arabel and conquer the Moon Sea region and Zambia in the east. Apart from military objectives, nothing else matters.
They proposed more than once that the Purple Dragon Knights should be directly granted the power to convict and execute people, implement indefinite nationwide martial law, and place all ports, trade routes, and markets under the management of the Knights.
They advocated a universal compulsory military system, and at the same time closed all entertainment venues, banned all entertainment activities, and abolished the actions of major churches to relieve the poor and sick, on the grounds that such behavior would only breed lazy people and weaken the people of Cormyr.
These people's views were so radical that even Alice Searle, who was quite strong-armed, disagreed with them.
This led to a rather interesting scene: as a veteran on the battlefield, the princess could not get the support of many professional soldiers. Instead, they supported the late Crown Princess’s husband, Duke Caspar, even though the Duke had never been to the military.
On the battlefield, those with weaker personalities would not dare to confront Alice Sayre.
Similarly, Kaspar, who clearly has a slight advantage in claiming the regency, has gained more support from external forces, while Alice Searle, whose claim is not so convincing, is more supported by the people.
How interesting is everything in the world?
What happens in reality is often something that novelists cannot imagine even in their entire lives.
That's why Tzeentch enjoys manipulating all things so much, because every little change is a new pleasure.
Change is a good thing!
However, if you think of the doctrine of Bane, the god of tyranny, and the identity of Bane's son, then everything makes sense easily.
It seems that Son of God Benn has been planning for a long time, Aaron is thinking about how to deal with it.
Look, I've ruined your plan for you!
If your guess is correct, the core of Son of Benn’s plan lies in the regent princess!
"We Harpers need your help very much, Mr. Aaron." Samir was always so optimistic and lively: "After the goblin war, the strength of this generation of Harpers has suffered heavy losses. You are a believer of the Silver Virgin, and you should have been
It’s from our side.”
"Yes, but I will not join the Harper Alliance." Aaron responded affirmatively at first, but then shook his head decisively: "I can become an ally of the Harpers, but I will not become a Harper."
The Harpers Alliance has always been known as the "shit stirrups". They often go their own way and do what they think is right. They have done a lot of things, but also messed up a lot of things. They are not always popular.
Aaron has his own rules and judgment. He does not accept moral kidnapping. He feels that if there is a need, they can just help each other or wave flags to each other. There is no need to be tied together.
"I think it is the best choice for you to join us." Samir sniffed the snuff. The warlock was obviously not satisfied with Aaron's reply: "Well, I have no right to force you. If you change your mind one day, I will
I can still be your introducer."
"I've finished talking about my business, is it your turn, Mr. Samir?" Aaron raised his hand with interest: "Why did you appear in Cormyr? And why did you join the Harpers?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Hey! You really asked the right question!"
Samir proudly unbuttoned his clothes, and he picked up the hem of his clothes with both hands: "Two years ago, my sect master gave me a task to protect Arabelle and protect the saint form of the goddess Taimora.
.”
"I successfully foiled a plot by the Lord of Hell, Asmodeus, to assassinate the goddess Tymora, but I only paid a small price."
The Harper rolled up his clothes, revealing a thirty centimeter-long scar from his abdomen to his chest. The stitching marks left on it looked as ferocious and twisted as a giant centipede: "I'm lucky, I just broke two intestines.
"
Aaron and Eleanor were in awe.
Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells!
It is said that the most evil being in the multiverse, the supreme king of the devil, was once a leader of the Seraphs. He was appointed by the gods of the multiverse who were tired of endless bloody battles to be the person in charge of the war against the bottomless abyss. Asmodeus
The angels headed by Si faithfully carried out this order, but due to long-term contact with the abyss, the appearance of the originally powerful and beautiful leader of the Seraph Archangel began to become ugly, and his strength also mutated.
As a result, the gods began to be afraid and disgusted with the dark angels led by him who were eroded by the power of the abyss. In the end, the two parties reached a "prime contract" and Asmodeus created nine planes to intercept the entry of the abyss.
The mortal passage is separated from the divine kingdom of the gods.
This is where hell comes from.
The Lord of the Nine Hells deceived the gods to gain independence through half-truths. He told the gods that he would "put evil in a cage." However, it was not until the day the Nine Hells were completed that the gods discovered that the Nine Hells were not restrained.
It is a cage of evil, but a source of corruption that constantly spreads evil and induces mortals to fall.
"I was dragged into Avernus, the first level of hell. In order to survive, I escaped from hell to the bottomless abyss and spent another two years. I recently returned to the main material plane." Samir's smile still remains.
Sunshine, he seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Oh my, my, I almost became the devil or his plaything many times."
"...So you signed a contract with the Abyss Demon?" Aaron understood a little bit.
"No, I signed a contract very early. After my parents who were killed by the Zhentarim sent me as a child to a druid, a celestial envoy found me and became my suzerain.
." Samir touched the scar on his body as carefully as if he were touching a family heirloom: "Later, during my adventure 16 years ago, I met the current God of Art and Reptiles, Mr. Fander Dragon Thorn. At that time, he was still a
The legendary bard, he sensed that I was one of his people, so he invited me to join the Harper Alliance."
"No, I can feel the power of the bottomless abyss from your eyes and your body." Aaron shook his head.
"Yes, that's right." Samir put down his clothes and smiled even brighter.
"I have two sect masters! One is a heavenly envoy, and the other is an abyssal demon."
"I have worked very hard to survive!"
A magician who was dragged into the nine hells, then into the bottomless abyss, and finally escaped unscathed?
Dual sect masters? There are not only celestial sect masters, but also evil demon sect masters?
Aaron solemnly took the initiative to extend his hand: "Reintroduce myself, Aaron Salian, Viscount Cormyr, the last Salian, son of Manuel, loyal servant of the Silver Virgin."
"Samir Morningstar is a magician, hehehehe~"
The journey continues. It takes a slight detour from Wanxing Town to Shenhai Town. Since Arabelle has fallen, the carriage needs to divert eastward through Deddok to reach Wanxing Town. It can only go with the official caravan. It needs to be walked
It takes about two days.
Faster than the caravan, was the report from the Queen's Blade. Just one day later, the report about Aaron's feat in Evening Star Town, the heroic deed of three people wiping out two battalions, was delivered to the desk of the regent of Suzal Palace.
One day later, in the morning.
The unparalleled Alice Searle is wearing an elegant black bouquet bra-covering short skirt today. Her golden hair is combed into a simple princess sideburn. Under the bright summer sun, her head is covered with gold threads.
It hangs down between the back of the head and the collarbones of the shoulders without any unnecessary modification. The white and delicate skin is slightly glowing with a faint halo. There is a deep ravine between the full canyons, and a gorgeous amethyst pendant hangs there.
.
Alice Sayre's facial features are not as gentle, bright and soft as Eleanor's, nor are they as sweet and lovely as Charlotte's. Alice Sayre's facial features reveal a cold and iceberg-like pride, mixed with a hint of pride.
This kind of strange charm and coquettishness, at first glance seems to be unattainable, cold and full of aggression, but occasionally it can make people feel blasphemous.
The dark red pupils under the slender golden eyebrows are particularly beautiful, as attractive as a pair of rubies.
What is even more eye-catching is a pair of beautiful legs in stockings under the table.
The summer light outside the window pours into the room along the glazed windows, shrouding the ultra-thin black stockings, reflecting a fascinating light, and even illuminating the white skin wrapped in the stockings.
The beautiful legs in the ultra-thin black spider silk stockings imported from the underdark are white and flawless. Next to her feet are the black suede red-soled high heels that the princess usually wears. At this time, Alice's legs are slightly raised and her calves are stretched forward.
Wearing only a pair of simple gold-strap high-heeled sandals, the toes of her beautiful feet painted with bright red nail polish were exposed under the hazy stockings.
Slender and straight, the thighs are plump and the calves are as slender as a complete whole. They are as big as gold. Everyone will marvel at the wonder of the Creator, especially the moving black silk with a sense of light on these impeccable legs.
It’s just that no one has the chance to appreciate it.
The incident report was reflected in her crimson eyes, her brows relaxed, and her cold eyes couldn't help but bring out a hint of joy.
Well done, last Salian, I did not promote you in vain.
Seeing Aaron destroying two battalions with three people and taking out part of the loot to distribute to the victims, Alice Searle felt that she had made the right decision. After thinking about it for a moment, she reached out and sucked up the red liquid on the quill.
Ink, I adjusted my sitting posture and prepared to write. My green forearms were dazzlingly bright in the sun.
Since his strength has improved so quickly, it seems that there is no need to continue the training of the Purple Dragon recruits, and he can be directly awarded the official knight title.
Now is the time to employ people. Aaron has a perfect background and is a native of the country. He will not cause anyone to object if he reuses him. He is also a disciple of Charlotte, a spell caster with explosive talent. He should be promoted to him as soon as possible.
Just listen and use it around you.
Will he be further promoted to a knight in the inner court?
Alice Searle thought about the pros and cons of doing this: Aaron is an elite warlock and part-time warrior, and his basic skills are also good. There is absolutely no problem in becoming a knight of the inner court.
But he is now young and full of energy. Taking risks, working in the field, and fighting are the best ways to improve his strength. Will becoming a knight of the inner court early affect his growth?
Then she looked down, and when she saw Aaron saying "dedicate this victory to the Silver Virgin," she couldn't help but frown again.
I am the one who promoted you, shouldn't you dedicate this victory to me?
Alice Serre suddenly remembered that meeting for no reason.
The daring guy kept staring at his legs from the first moment he met her!
A pair of beautiful legs in black silk sat upright under the table, and the heels of her gold strap sandals unconsciously made a few crooked circles on the carpet.
Alice Searle, nicknamed "The Princess of Steel", has seen a lot of strong winds and waves. Naturally, she will not only look at people's appearance, but it is the nature of mortals to like good-looking things, and Aaron has a well-founded approach to his views.
They pulled her back and forth and even offered some opinions quietly, which left a deep impression on her.
Appearance is secondary, talent and loyalty are most important!
Does Aaron have talent? No question.
Is Aaron loyal? Hmm... The princess recalled Aaron's sonorous answer and his eyes.
It seems that there is no problem?
The princess suddenly realized that she could actually want them all?
"Aaron Salian is hereby granted the official title of Purple Dragon Knight! He will be rewarded with 1,000 gold lion coins. The whole Kingdom of Cormyr will report his deeds, and let the bards of the Conservatory of Music write poems about this matter and publicize it vigorously! To encourage him!"
Orders are issued immediately, and the princess always handles things efficiently and quickly.
Shortly after the edict was issued, a mansion in the upper town of Sousal.
In the dim room, a handsome man with short hair and an evil and arrogant face held a purple astrological ball in his hand. There was a faint murderous intent in his scarlet pupils. Everyone could feel that he was enduring.
With great anger.
Playing with the astrological ball in his hand and seeing the scene of Adam-Heavy Hammer's head hanging in the ball at the city gate, the evil man playfully said to the people kneeling below: "So, it's over like this?
"
"We have carefully designed the plan for several months. We have spent so much money to bribe the guards and officers to create a carefully planned plan for that stupid hobgoblin, and then it is just gone?"
"I'm still preparing to set off, and the poems at the bard have been arranged. Now tell me, there was an accident? Balder died? Adan Hammer was killed, Aaron Salian became
To save the heroes of Evening Star Town? Not me?"
"Who can tell me what's going on? Is this a coincidence? Or is there a traitor among us?"
The evil man always had a pleasant face and spoke calmly without any foul language, but everyone kneeling below looked ashamed and did not dare to look directly into his scarlet eyes.
"Why don't you speak? Who can answer me?" The evil man crossed his fingers and randomly named someone: "Collin, tell me."
"...Your Excellency, I am wondering if there is something wrong with Balder and a letter has been intercepted? Or maybe Bren did not understand our meaning well?"
The people whose names he called were cautious and reserved in giving their opinions.
This incident was a moderate blow to them. In order to make the evil man sitting on it become the hero of the kingdom, they had carefully planned for several months and spent countless wealth. Unexpectedly, before setting off,
Someone has already beaten them to it.
Moreover, the man named Aaron actually did better than the evil man!
"I'm very disappointed, Colin, both for you and for both of you." The evil man sighed. He stood up from his seat and stretched out his hands to help the trembling man up: "But the one who has to bear the main responsibility,
it's me."
"The news came from the Zhentarim. The Dark Sun Prince plans to carry out a large-scale purge of his father's loyalists. Once this purge occurs, sooner or later it will affect Cormyr."
"Furthermore, my brother is definitely imprisoned in the prison of Zhentil Castle. There may be a thousand people, ten thousand people, and one hundred thousand people planning to rescue him. He was born hundreds of years before I was born. Once
When he comes out, it will be the end of us brothers and sisters."
There was silence in the room.
"Get up, my friends, I have no intention of blaming you." The evil man clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to get up: "If anyone has to take responsibility, then there is no doubt that I am the first person responsible."
When everyone in the room saw the evil man saying this, they stood up slowly. They all felt a warmth in their hearts: "Your Excellency, we..."
He is always like this, otherwise everyone would not gather around him and fight for him.
"I will never cry because of spilled milk." The evil man waved his hand: "I just hope that you can sum up your experience and learn lessons. This is just to create an opportunity to get close to the regent. Some people and
Money, if you lose it, lose it, stop the loss in time.”
"Ahead of our plan and execute the next goal."
"Cormyr, must be mine!"
In this world, gods and demons (referring to the great devil Faker) have arisen. Although Beryl has no intention of competing, he knows the suffering of the people (referring to Mr. Dai's 10 or even 9-year career).
I just want to clean up the four sides (referring to the explosive killing of LPL and LCK) and protect a corner of the world (referring to the status of the first division).
