Chapter 51, The Scheme of Stealing the Country
The basement of the elven temple was not very large, with a large hall and two inner rooms, which were stacked with scattered miscellaneous items, 22 bags of coffee beans and some tattered, faint torches and kerosene lamps hanging on the walls.
Elves used to be the civilization that dominated half of the world, and once approached the world's dominant civilization, but at the height of the elven kingdoms, the famous "Crown War" broke out, and it is said that it was fought five times.
Historical records of this war are very scarce, and the only thing that is certain is that the war led to the "Dark Calamity" and the "Birth of the Drow Elves", the former of which caused the entire elven kingdom to come to naught, and the latter caused the elves to split, and the dark elves named the drow elves went underground and became evil and bloody under the influence of the former elven lord god and now the spider queen Rose.
Since then, the Elven Empire has declined, degenerating from a world-ruling power to a regional influence-level power.
Miss Priest didn't know much about elven history, even if she was half-elf, she had only heard a few words, the northwest of Cormier was once the Elven Comanso Empire, but that former glory was a long time ago, and there are few books today about how powerful the Elven Empire was.
Unleashing a light spell, Miss Priest focused her attention on Aaron, the room was empty, Asha was still outside taking stock of the harvest, and Eleanor took off her mask, revealing her delicate and bright face.
She stared at Aaron silently, watching the man's handsome appearance preoccupied.
This guy, when he's serious, still ...... It's quite charming! Eleanor reluctantly admitted.
By Miss Pastor's light, Aaron held the letter in his hand, his brow furrowed, reading the contents of the letter.
It was a letter without the identity of the sender, and the letter was very long, with a long parchment hanging directly to the ground.
The contents of the letter are as follows:
Allow me to refer to you as M, the Great Heir of Darkness, the Son of Tyranny, and our undisputed master, for reasons that are well known to you, and that it is dangerous to attempt to do so.
Hello, Gui'an, Your Excellency M.
According to our plan, you have now successfully infiltrated the land of the Purple Dragon, please don't worry, your identity was planned and prepared before you were born, and we have set out to prepare this identity for you before a child quacks to the ground, and no one can come up with evidence to question your noble status, this is unassailable, please remember.
I have served your great, supreme, King's Kingdom Father (please allow me to call Him that) for more than half a century, I am your mentor, advisor, bodyguard, assistant, and most faithful servant, and now it is my duty to ensure that you, His new heir, succeed in ascending to the Dark Throne and reclaiming the power of Master from that damned usurper god.
Now, I have a couple of things to tell you.
Bane Miko?! Aaron's face was serious, he raised his head to look at Eleanor, saw Miss Pastor's determined expression, nodded slightly, and continued to look down.
The following content is relatively simple, mainly to introduce Cormier's customs, laws and main rules, what to pay attention to, how to be careful not to reveal your identity, these contents Aaron just roughly browsed and chose to skip, as a native of Cormier's local nobles, Aaron is too familiar with these.
And the next content made Aaron look solemn, and cold sweat broke out on his back:
To take back your father's throne, with your current strength is not enough, we need an elite legion, a group of loyal supporters, I am glad that we were able to work out such a detailed plan, as you said, Cormier has such a powerful army, if they do nothing, wouldn't it be a waste?
This is a very laudable idea, and I would like to offer a few suggestions:
First, the Cormiers are always proud of their glorious history, strong army and enlightened constitutional monarchy, you just need to make the appropriate declaration on the right occasion to tell the Cormiers: our nation, our country is the best existence in the country, we are the hope of the country, we are the "superior race", we are born qualified to enslave the "inferior race", you will never lack people to support you, the long history of mankind has proved this countless times.
Second, remember that your father is the god of strife, strife, war, fear, and hatred, and you need to spread it as He did, and we are now in a very favorable time when the Holy Holocaust has weakened the power of the churches, the gods need time to regain their faith, the human kingdoms are full of suspicion and conflict, and the Goblin Wars have cost Cormier their king.
So try to provoke a war! With Zambia, with the Sea of the Moon, with the Valley, with goblins, orcs, kobolds, trolls, lizardmen, and even the fishmen of the Sea of Falling Stars, only war is the best ladder for promotion, and only war can give you the opportunity to control the country of the Purple Dragon!
Third, you should also keep in mind that despite the death of Ahsan IV in battle and the political turmoil in Cormier, the people here still have a high level of reverence for the royal family of Obiszir, and any attempt to cross the royal family of Obiszir to control the country of the Purple Dragon is dangerous.
But danger always coexists with opportunity, the reign of the regent is not stable, she is a good soldier, but not a good monarch, her rule has accumulated a lot of discontent, this is our chance.
At the same time, we have received information from inside the palace that the body of the princess regent was very weak by the curse of the primeval red dragon before her death, so she rarely meets outsiders these days, and this information may be put to good use.
If necessary...... You are the son of God, and no woman can resist your charm, be sure of that.
Finally, having said that, I hope that you will be able to endure for a moment the misdeeds of the Prince of the Dark Sun who has stolen your authority, and that you are not strong enough to be against Him right now, which could easily lead to disaster.
You may think that the local priests with a sense of justice will help you, or that you will meet a just and helpful paladin or something, but you must know that your father has always conquered the world with fear, hatred, anger and brutality, which is why I am writing to you personally, do not trust the priests of the holy warriors and the three gods of justice, who are unwilling to believe in our lord and do not want to die, will only become your trouble.
Let my experience be your teacher so that you don't have to learn from your own mistakes, every one of which could be fatal without me.
Steal the country, lead its army back to Santil Fort, claim the throne that is rightfully yours, light the gods, and inherit all that your father has to offer! Son of the Supreme Tyranny, we all sincerely hope that this moment will come soon!
May we succeed!
Your faithful servant C-L.
July 1360 in the valley calendar.
Underneath the end of the payment is a emblem of the god of tyranny.
Aaron put down the letter, and Lord Salian of Cormier sat on his side, tapping his index finger on the table, his brow furrowed, his face solemn, and the joy of having just reaped a large windfall quickly faded.
Did this person read my script?
How can this god of tyranny be exactly the same as my plan?
Someone imitated my face? Someone else imitated my face?
No, if the information on this letter is true, then the plan must have been implemented very early.
Stealing the country?!
Fun, it's so much fun! Aaron's face changed again, and he couldn't help but smile.
Then let me play with you!
Children of Chaos stealing the country? The Son of Bane steals the country?
Cormier's future is not destined to be peaceful.
"What's wrong? Aaron? Eleanor watched Aaron's face change back and forth, nervously wiping sweat, silent and then smiling, Miss Pastor's sea-blue eyes showed concern, she moved to Aaron's side: "The content of this letter should be very important, but unfortunately I don't know that much, but I think you should read it."
"Thank you, Eleanor." Aaron put down the letter, he looked at Miss Pastor with his eyes, and took the initiative to take her hand: "You have helped me, and even done the country a great favor!" You may have really saved the country! β
"Do you see anything?" With her hands clenched, Miss Pastor couldn't help but turn her head to look at Aaron, her slender legs quietly retreating under her priest's robes.
Eleanor was a little panicked, she was a little panicked!
Aaron's eyes are wrong! His eyes were literally bubbling with hellfire.
This flame is called ambition!
What does he want to do? Asha is still outside!
In a panic, Miss Pastor took another step back, she felt her back against a bookshelf, the swaying wooden frame was like Miss Pastor's mood, undulating, her slender legs under the priest's robe rubbed slightly, trying to push him away, but afraid of hurting him, Eleanor could only cry out in shame, "What do you see?" So excited? β
Miss Priest deliberately amplified her voice so that the female savages outside could hear her.
At the same time, she is also warning Aaron: Don't continue!
Aaron also let go of Miss Pastor's hands at this time, he pinched his chin, thought for a while in Miss Pastor's obscure expression, and said firmly: "Eleanor, go and help Asha light things clearly, lock the door and check the security, let's have a small meeting!" β
"This little meeting may determine Cormier's future!"
With that, Aaron casually pulled a book from the bookshelf and sat back in his seat to read.
With her hands let go, Eleanor pinched her iron gloves, the expression on her face was very complicated, and she stared at Aaron for a full five seconds, and when she saw that he was really reading carefully, she whispered that she knew, and then hurried out of the inner room.
It's really not appropriate here.
ββββI'm the inappropriate dividing line hereββββ
In addition to 22 bags of coffee beans, a small treasury of bandits, a bunch of weapons and equipment, and two rings, Asha also got two good things from Balde's body.
Extraordinary items, rare equipment ogre bracers! Wearing it will increase the wearer's strength by one level, but it will not break through the limitations of the transcendent attributes!
This piece of equipment naturally belongs to the female barbarian Asha, who needs the strength attribute the most.
Extraordinary items, rare equipment sapphire glitter necklaces! Wearing it enhances the wearer's intelligence stats by a small amount (and it also fails to break through the limitations of the supernatural stats), and it also strengthens the wearer's magic "magic missile", giving it additional damage and two additional light darts!
This piece of equipment naturally belongs to Aaron, and Aaron is the only one of the trio who can unleash magic missiles!
Casually estimated, the value of this piece of equipment is more than 800 gold lion coins.
"Hey, this kid is really lucky!" Asha enviously picked up the sapphire glitter necklace, and the female savage held the ends of the necklace between the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, and compared the size of Aaron's neck: "This thing belongs to you!"
Seeing that Asha was going to put it on Aaron directly, Eleanor immediately stepped forward: "Asha, I'll come." β
"Come, dear Eleanor, pamper me!" Aaron closed his eyes and arms outstretched, looking like he had made a great sacrifice.
ββ¦β¦ Tell me again, be careful, I accidentally caught you! Miss Reverend took off her iron gloves, and carefully unbuttoned the necklace with her white hands, and put it on Aaron, the sapphire necklace glowing with the man's handsome and seductive face, making him look more attractive.
Eleanor slowly adjusted her position to put on Aaron's necklace, and she smelled Aaron's good smell again: "Okay." β
Simple distribution of spoils, because Asha and Aaron got equipment, so they gave all the coins to Eleanor, and Miss Pastor did not refuse, she herself did not use money much, but weapons and equipment cost money, and the church also needed money.
The three of them sat down again, and by this time it was already evening, and Asha had bolted the door shut, and they sat down in the inner room.
Aaron took out the letter and told Eleanor and Asha about his speculation, the death of the three gods, and the information revealed in the letter.
"Son of Darkness?" Asha obviously couldn't accept it, and she scratched her hair in disbelief: "The god of tyranny and the son of God? Oh no, I was at a two-day, two-night city party to celebrate Bane's fall! He's not going to take revenge on me, is he? β
"If that's the case, then there are a lot of people he wants to take revenge against, when the news of Bane's fall came, and 27 countries across the country held a public celebration of it." Aaron complained, "It's probably going to be a few months before it's your turn." β
"Tsk, then cool for a few months, and then it's my turn!" The female savage is relaxed again.
"Aaron, this matter is troublesome." Eleanor's focus was all on Aaron: "We don't have the ability to face the Son of God now, since we have this letter, can we give this letter to Her Royal Highness the Regent and let her be careful?" β
"Hmm......" Aaron looked down and thought for a moment, but let out a sneer: "Hey, believe it or not, if I give this letter to His Highness Alice Serre, it won't be this Bane Divine Son who will be in trouble, but me?" β
"I have personally met Her Highness Alice Serre, and I can roughly feel what kind of person she is, she only trusts her own judgment, and if anyone wants to help her judge, then she will send him to the water prison of the Queen's Blade." Aaron took the parchment from Asha's hand.
"Right now, the biggest problem we're facing is."
"First of all, who is this Son of Bane? The letter has written a rough outline, but there is no detailed plan, but if we don't even know who he is, then how do we get him out? Aaron put the letter away, pressed his elbows on the table, interlocked his fingers, pressed his nose, and narrowed his sky-blue eyes slightly: "Let me think." β
"Ahh I know who he is! β
It barely took a second for Asha to get up excitedly.
"Isn't that the ......?"
