The journey from Susar to Darklight Village only takes one day.
After Leonard and Disma got in the car, Aaron didn't talk to them, but checked his weapons and equipment.
He counted all the resources he could use now:
Two weapons: Dark Moon Sword, extremely rare magic weapon, extraordinary weapon.
The energy storage staff is a non-ordinary magic item that has a certain amount of magic energy stored in it.
Equipment: Purple Dragon Knights standard armor, ordinary grade.
Props: Sapphire Flash Necklace, a rare magic prop that can launch two additional missiles after releasing a ring of magic chaos missiles, and strengthen all chaos missiles.
Shield brooch, a non-ordinary magic item, immune to magic missiles, and resistant to force field magic.
Frost Giant Belt, improves the wearer's physical fitness by 3 levels and has fire resistance.
The Red Ring of Conrad, a rare magic prop, can convert blood into magic power, which lasts for one minute. Currently, Aaron can convert the magic power of a 2-ring magic once used.
The income from the last adventure deducted the donations to the Silver Holy Mother Church, the donations to the civilians of Wanxing Town, the commissions to the Dragon Teeth Gang, the expenses of copying the scrolls from the warlock lady, and the expenses of 7788, plus the expenses.
Alice Searle’s 1,000 gold coin reward, etc.
Aaron's current available cash is approximately 2,000 gold lion coins.
What can you do with 2000 gold lion coins?
You can find a place in Cormyr to buy a manor, buy a piece of land, build a walled villa, buy a few pretty maids, and live a life of collecting rent and making money.
What can you do with 2000 gold lion coins?
A piece of full-body plate armor inlaid with ordinary anti-puncture runes, ordinary extraordinary equipment, and I still owe the dwarf blacksmith 500 gold lion coins.
During his more than a month of magic practice, Aaron had time to go to the master blacksmith inside the Purple Dragon Knight and asked how much a full-body white dragon skin armor would cost.
The blacksmith made a "1" sign.
"One thousand gold lion coins?" Aaron immediately wanted to pay.
"Ten thousand gold lion coins." The blacksmith added helplessly: "This is the cost price, Your Excellency, not counting the cost of processing. I can give you a cheaper price, a 15% commission. I also want to eat."
It’s really expensive! Aaron thought helplessly.
"What's wrong? Aaron, don't you welcome us?"
After Dean Leonard had tidied up his appearance and used a mirror to confirm that the position of his robe and badge, the knotting of his scarf, and the exposed size of the lining of his sleeves were all correct, he smiled at Aaron.
"Tsk! It's too late for the stinky boy to refuse. We're already here. This is the stinky old man's order. We won't listen to you."
Compared to Leonard, Disma is a rather slovenly guy. The leather armor robe he wears is in tatters, and the lining sleeves are all frayed. His hair is messy and spread out, with only a knife on his waist.
The sword received the greatest attention and the best maintenance from its owner.
"No." Aaron shook his head: "It's just because I stayed in Susar for more than a month and had to receive special magic training from my instructor all day long. I finally got the chance to come out. I couldn't wait. But you guys came, and I still
I’m still digesting the surprise you brought me!”
As soon as he said this, Leonard couldn't help but laugh, and even Disma turned his eyes outside the car window and raised the corners of his mouth.
Aaron's words made both seniors feel that Aaron must be an easy person to get along with during the trip.
The Sons of Chaos have changed their mindset from the Slaanesh mindset to the Tzeentch mindset.
So, what is the Tzeentch mindset?
To put it most simply, it's a tough talk.
If it succeeds, it's the plan; if it doesn't, it's the change. Tzeentch will never lose.
All actions have established plans. Through clever logic, precise thinking and strategic tactics, using the minimum cost to achieve the maximum gain is also Tzeentch.
Enjoy every change in the plan, observe every change in everything in the world, every success is Tzeentch's credit, every failure is also Tzeentch's success, because every trembling of the thread of fate makes Tzeentch's love for eternity
A closer understanding, this is also Tzeentch.
Plans often produce unexpected changes, and the conspiracy of the Lord of Change is often hidden.
His happiness cannot be understood by mortals.
"Your literacy is very poor. I chant the name of Saint Tzeentch every day, and treat you idiots who only have muscles in your brain as monkeys to kill you. This is the confidence that the Magic Bird God has given me. This is unbelief."
The fate of the Lord of Change."
————Tzeentch Sorcerer’s taunt to the Champion of Khorne
"It's not that the smelly old man is afraid that something will happen to you because you are still young." Disma still looked out the window: "Before, when you went out, you had your Silver Virgin Priest and an experienced barbarian. This time you only have one.
People, so he asked us to come and take a look, tsk, look at you like this, still so childish, like a child, no wonder the smelly old man said that."
"Disma, don't be like this, have you forgotten? When our mentor took us to the wild for the first time, you were hopping around like a rabbit in the forest! My mentor and I chased you for a whole afternoon.
!" Leonard spread his hands, and the college president smiled happily as he recalled the past.
"Ha, who wasn't a kid once?" Aaron simply couldn't imagine that this scene would happen to Disma.
"Tsk, I was only eight years old at the time!" Disma said impatiently: "It's not like the smelly old man has locked me up for too long. It's painful to stay in the city and I have too much time."
"Kid, kid~" Aaron made a face, the nature of chaos is to cause trouble.
"Can I throw this guy down?" Disma asked Leonard.
"Haha~ Okay, okay, please stop arguing." Leonard quickly motioned to the two of them to stop: "Junior, tell us the situation."
"Okay." Aaron also became serious and began to tell the two seniors about the task entrusted with a value of only 1 copper coin.
He did not hide anything this time, but told the general story, only concealing the news that the fishermen couple were secretly sent to the city by the Longya Gang through smuggling channels.
"Warlock of the Dark Sun?"
Sure enough, both seniors were surprised, especially the college president Leonard, whose face showed an expression of hatred almost immediately.
Cyric, Prince of the Dark Sun! The successor of the Three Gods of Death and the enemy of the Three Gods of Justice!
Leonard is a devout believer in Thom, the god of loyalty and courage. Since his father "Grand Cross" died at the hands of the Zhentarim and was adopted by Lucian, this university president once fell into loneliness, depression, and isolation.
, he once cried and asked the gods for enlightenment as to why fate had to treat him like this.
Among the gods, there was a god full of courage and faith who responded to Leonard.
That is Thom, the god of loyalty and courage. He told Leonard that his father's sacrifice was valuable. There is only one life for a person. The value of life is comparable to the endless holy light at the top of Heavenly Mountain, and it can also be compared to the mortal world.
The most anonymous piece of sand on the beach, it depends on how you use it.
Don’t ask for everything that everyone wants, but ask for a clear conscience.
Since then, Leonard has become a devout believer in the Three Gods of Justice. He mainly believes in Thom, the god of loyalty and courage. He has become a glorious paladin and swore an oath of devotion to fight for all justice and beauty in the multiverse.
.
"Since I am the magician of the Dark Sun, it is impossible for you, my junior, to get me out of the car now!" Leonard closed his eyes. Although he was still laughing, the smell of Mars could already be smelled in the car: "
In the name of justice, why didn’t you tell me about such a good thing? God above!"
"Yes, the three gods are on top! You know that the three gods are on top!" Disma curled his lips and mocked.
The Three Gods of Justice are the collective name for the three gods. They are Tyr, the god of justice, Ilmat, the god of suffering, and Thom, the god of loyalty and courage. The three gods form the justice system. Tyr, the powerful god,
He is the head of the justice system.
Tyr is said to be a foreign god who came to the country from other crystal wall systems in 247 BC in the Valley. His appearance triggered a major event "Justice Comes", which brought the justice that people longed for to the country that was in the midst of a crazy melee at that time.
and order, so Ilmat, the god of suffering, and Tom, the god of loyalty and courage, were infected by his spirit and joined his team. The three gods formed the justice system. This was considered a major event in the country. Since then,
, the country has the concept of justice.
Aaron always found the name Tire familiar.
The god of war and courage in Norse mythology in his previous life seemed to be named Tyr?
Among the three gods of justice, Aaron prefers Tire and Thom, but hates Ilmat, because the teachings of the God of Suffering are like praising suffering, praising poverty and happiness, and praising selfless dedication and silent sacrifice. Aaron held a meeting in his previous life to write these things.
I feel like vomiting when I read the manuscript. I am a child of Chaos in this world, so I am really tired of these things about Ilmat.
He respects Ilmat. The God of Suffering is a good God. He protects all the little lives that died young and endured the pain for this world. Therefore, Aaron's attitude is respect, but not cold, very cold!
In recent years, as Prince Cyric of the Dark Sun inherited all the authority of the Three Gods of Death, he naturally became the enemy of the Three Gods of Justice. However, the Prince of the Dark Sun quickly proved himself to be powerful - he is now almost
He has become enemies of all the gods, and his madness shocked the gods.
As we all know, the three gods of death represent the most evil symbols of all things in the world, but even so, the three gods of death still have a positive meaning.
The strife symbolized by Bane, the god of tyranny, not only brings disaster to the world, but also represents the power of progress. Without contradictions, progress cannot be made, and without conflict, things cannot be resolved. At the same time, the absolute dictatorship advocated by Bane is in the minority.
Special periods are considered necessary and efficient.
The death symbolized by Baal, the Lord of Slaughter, is also considered to be a manifestation of survival of the fittest. Life and death are the two sides of the coin, transforming each other. Without death, the world of the living will fall into disorder and madness.
Melkor, the King of Bones, as the King of the Dead, is responsible for the peace of the dead souls in the underworld.
Melkor actually did not do a good job in his position as the King of the Dead, and was far inferior to the ancient god of death Jaeger before him. Melkor's attitude towards the dead was "disposing of them", which was quite the essence of bureaucrats.
If you don’t show respect to me? Then our souls will not be able to rest in peace.
If you don’t listen to me? Then everyone’s souls will not be able to rest in peace.
If you don’t do as I say? Then everyone’s souls will not be able to rest in peace.
If you don’t pay the fees I stipulated? Then everyone’s souls will not be able to rest in peace.
Question my approach? Then everyone’s souls will not be able to rest in peace.
Melkor's actions have made the gods and mortals very angry. They feel that there is something wrong with the ancient god of death's brain when he chose Melkor to be the next king of the dead.
But no matter what, Melkor at least guaranteed one thing, that is, fear Him, do what He asks, listen to Him, and pay the full fee, and He will at least guarantee the rest of the dead souls.
After Cyric, Prince of the Dark Sun, took control of the priesthood of the dead, he actually did worse than Melkor!
Changing orders day and night, constantly changing regulations, and asking for more money over and over again. Only in this way can you rest today, and in this way can you rest tomorrow. Cyric regarded the priesthood of the dead as his own cash cow and a means to expand his faith. He not only used this method over and over again
Blackmailing mortals, and assigning various targets all day long, requiring the priests in charge of the cemetery of the dead to complete their tasks.
Not only that, Cyric also ordered his priests to "show loyalty" to him, implemented the last-place elimination system, and constantly tried to influence the souls of the underworld, trying to gain more benefits from the countless souls resting in peace.
This is a madman! A real madman!
It has only been more than two years since the Saint's Catastrophe ended, and it has only been more than two years since Cyric, the Prince of the Dark Sun, became a god. He has already used a series of crazy methods to make him almost a public enemy among the gods.
Mortals were even forced to miss Melkor, the previous King of the Dead.
Do you need a reason to hate and dislike Cyric?
unnecessary.
Do you need a reason to deal with this madman Cyric?
unnecessary.
With Tzeentch in his head, Aaron made Leonard and Disma stand on the same side with him and share the same hatred with him with just a few words.
"Great, I thought this matter had something to do with the goddess of the sea. If it is Dark Sun, then there is no need for any mercy or scruples." Leonard's eyes turned cold.
"Isn't this simple?" Disma was full of disdain: "He is just an elite magician. Three of us brothers can easily defeat him alone!"
"Don't be careless, senior." Aaron shook his head: "Cyric's follower is also a sorcerer, so we must be careful."
"And, do you feel it?" Aaron secretly glanced out the window: "Someone is following us secretly!"
…………
The one-day journey was not long. The next day, the three brothers arrived at the small fishing village of Anguang Village in the east of Mashanbai.
Anguang Village is just an ordinary fishing village. From a big city to an ordinary village, the scenery here has changed greatly. There is a strong smell of sea in the air. Wood has become a luxury here. Most of the buildings are
Made of mud brick or stone.
Dark Light Village is named after the sea area here. There is a high cliff near this village. Whenever the sun goes down, the sunlight will be blocked by the cliff. The beach outside the fishing village where the sunset cannot shine will form a shadow with the distant ocean.
The contrast is so great that it is called the Dark Light Village.
People from the Longya Gang have been waiting here for a long time. When Aaron arrived at the meeting point, a tall and thin man from the Longya Gang wearing ragged fisherman's clothes introduced Aaron to the situation here.
The warlock Mepham has recently been disguising himself as a fortune teller and living in a cave under a cliff outside the village. There are countless magic traps there, and the Dragon Teeth Gang dare not approach them.
However, Mepham would come to the tavern in Darklight Village every day. He would have a meal here, pack some food, and at the same time wait for the smuggling ship to leave the sea. He would also ask the tavern owner about Cormyr's recent movements.
"He plans to go to sea here?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, there are smuggling ships docking here all the time." The smuggler from the Longya Gang said in a low voice. He did not dare to look directly at Leonard's sanctioning eyes: "But the recent inspections have been strict, and there are very few smuggling ships.
Stop here."
"Any other news?" Aaron then asked.
"Your Excellency, something is wrong with the situation in this village." Longya Gang members whispered: "The villagers are feeling more and more calls. The sea is calling them. Some people have abandoned the belief in the sea goddess and turned to a certain religion.
Some greater and stranger beings."
"Even we heard an incomprehensible language in our sleep."
Sure enough, I guessed right.
The warlock Mepham has made two preparations. He is secretly performing some kind of ritual!
Aaron narrowed his eyes, his mind began to spin crazily, and the divine sparks of Tzeentch spread along his blood vessels and rushed straight to his forehead.
Tzeentch Brainstorm!
A few minutes later, Aaron turned around and spoke to the two seniors: "President, second senior, can you perform a stage play with me?"
"You said." "Tsk, I don't like performing at all." Both Leonard and Disma affirmed.
"I have a plan, your just have to trust me! (I have a plan, you just have to do as I say)"
Aaron showed a mysterious smile, and the phantom of a strange bird flashed in his pure sky-blue eyes.
After hearing Aaron's plan, the two seniors became a little uneasy.
