Chapter Two Hundred and Eight, Knights of the Silver Dragon
That night, Aaron gathered the companions who were currently under his control.
In addition to himself and Eleanor, the following people came to the dinner:
Maximian, the warrior monk of the Sword Saint Sect.
Sadistic Champion Half-Orc Sword Saint Doherty - Blood Sword.
Samir, the Chaos Warrior.
Cousin, scholar Robert.
These were the small group that Aaron had just formed, and for the first time he had gathered them all together to prepare for what was next.
He needed to discuss the matter of the Son of Bane with these subordinates.
In addition to these people who were close to Aaron, there was also Fiorina, the knight of the Guard, who was sent to him by his cousin Anna and Alice Serre.
Cousin Anna seems to have turned on some wonderful switch since she woke up, this girl is particularly affinity for life magic, she has the potential of a druid, so under Aaron's training, Anna resolutely decided to embark on the path of life wizards, and in the temple of Suren, there are seven or eight such half-grown children who have decided to follow this path.
Aaron's goal is to have one such mage in a company in his army in the future, which can greatly reduce the number of casualties among soldiers, and even when there are more life mages in the future, Aaron can also establish a "medical security" system.
As for the knight of the guard, Fiolena, a taciturn and powerful warrior, Aaron did not fully trust her, and she did not care much, but silently fulfilled Alice's instructions.
Today's dinner was rich with steamed halibut with cauliflower mousse, navy turbot, roasted venison kidney, braised red cabbage, lamb tenderloin, charcoal grilled eggplant, carrot mixed with fresh vegetables, strawberry cream pie, verbena cream sauce, and Lucia-style mashed potatoes.
After the dinner, several people came to the reception room on the first floor, all of them coming because of Aaron's call, and their attitudes were different.
Samir always had a smile on his face, and no one was offended.
The orc sword saint Doherty leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, and his people were placed outside the city of Susar.
Maximian silently recited the penance, waiting for Aaron to speak.
Cousin Robert was a little anxious, he had already drunk two glasses of water, and was waiting for Aaron to speak.
On the wall of the reception room is written "Zhengqinghe", which is written by Aaron.
Pulling Eleanor to sit down, Aaron was a little regretful that Charlotte didn't come, the eldest lady was definitely an important help, but her secrecy was often not good enough, and people were busy, so Aaron didn't call her.
Aaron shared the information he had with everyone in the room.
"What? Are you saying that Lord Mannerkorn-Anaheim has colluded with foreign enemies to overthrow my Cormir kingdom?! Cousin Robert was the first to jump: "So what are you waiting for?" Aaron, aren't you free to come and go in and out of the palace? You should present this news to Your Highness as soon as possible! β
After saying that, Robert wanted to get up and take the pen, waiting for Aaron to dictate and he would write the paperwork.
"Robert, calm down, Aaron must have his own ideas when he chooses to do this." Maximian stopped Robert, and his cousin folded his hands: "Aaron, do you want to wipe out this son of tyranny?" β
"Yes." Aaron nodded, and he said to several of his subordinates: "Judging from the existing situation and evidence, if we want to completely solve his problem, we can only let him come out on his own." β
"What's so troublesome?" Doherty still had her eyes closed: "You want, who do you want to kill?" I'll kill whomever I want! Lead the knife into a piece, live up to the name of the blood god, go out in the morning, and return to the head at dusk! β
"Well said, Bloody Sword, if you kill him now, then Manakone will be a martyr of the kingdom, and we will be rebels." Samir laughed and clapped his hands: "You are going to give the son of tyranny a complete whitewash!" β
Doherty didn't answer, and the sadistic champion was clearly unwilling to think about it.
"Yes, Samir was right." Aaron glanced at Samir and thought to himself that this guy was indeed a team glue.
"Aaron, I trust your judgment, assuming that Manakorn is the God of Tyranny, then I have no objection to you trying to deal with him, and I am willing to assist you with all my might." Maximian was silent for a moment and asked, "But what about Duke Caspar?" β
"Duke Caspar and Mannakorn are the closest partners, and he is the legal regent, we can solve the son of tyranny, but if Duke Caspar is also involved, then without the support of the princess, this is a coup d'Γ©tat! Maximian raised his concerns: "Therefore, it is better to ventilate a little with His Highness." β
"If communicating with His Highness could solve the problem, I would have communicated with His Highness a long time ago." Aaron pinched his chin: "This path doesn't work. β
"Are you going to arrest the husband of the crown princess?" Maximian lost his voice and said, "Aaron, we can't do this, Duke Caspar is a good man." β
"Whether a person is good or not, sometimes it is not up to me to decide, cousin." Aaron said in a deep voice: "If the son of tyranny really did what we expected, then Duke Caspar is guilty of aiding in civil strife, and a husband of the crown princess who has taken the son of tyranny as his confidant and has always helped him, is he still a good person?" β
Maximian was silent, and his cousin nodded bitterly, and he had to admit that Aaron was right.
"What we need to do is to try to control the scale of this civil unrest, to minimize its damage to the kingdom, and to avoid harming the civilians as much as possible if the plot of the Sons of Tyranny cannot succeed." Aaron continued, "For now, we still have limited knowledge of the Son of Tyranny's plan, and we don't know what he has prepared other than the plan to transfer foreign troops into the capital and his possible collusion with the Dragon Witch Cult and Hell. β
"Doherty, your people will be arranged outside the city, raise troops for a thousand days, and use them for a while, and we may use your strength when the time comes."
"Understood!"
"Samir, you pay attention to mobilizing the forces of the Harpist Alliance, if the situation changes, you need to react immediately."
"Leave it to me."
"Robert, you should be high-profile during this time, attend more banquets, and try to go if you are invited, Mark, you should keep a low profile during this time and improve your skills more."
"Eleanor, if you can't reach me then, I'll allow you to take full charge of all my affairs, all."
"Got it." Miss Pastor's eyes lit up, and she didn't like to talk much when she was around Aaron.
"All for the good of the kingdom!"
"So, in these extraordinary times, be careful, everybody." Aaron got up and ended the meeting.
"Wait, chief." Samir grinned again and said, "You'll be able to get started, we're a small organization, give us a name, boss." β
A name?
Aaron thinks about his future.
Yes, as his power grows, his organization should have a name.
What should it be called?
Aaron thought back to his favorite team in his previous life, thought of the Slaanesh power he was the first to turn on, thought of his origins and identity as a purple dragon knight, and he had the answer.
"Just call it, Silver Dragon Knights."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
For the rest of the day, Aaron waited for news and began to make all kinds of preparations in full swing.
He first found someone to identify the legendary Assassin's treasure.
At this time, he finally determined that this legendary powerhouse came from the Sea of the Moon, nicknamed the Dreadblade, and was hired by the priest of the Dark Sun Church to assassinate him.
The reward is a little bit of divinity of the former phantom goddess Leila.
Ciric! Dark Sun!
You wait for me! Aaron clenched his fists, furious.
He swore that he would kill this madman.
Unfortunately, the Dreadblade is just his nickname, not his real name, and most of the people in the kingdom who are involved in the black industry such as assassination do not use their own names.
In the kingdom, real names are not allowed to be revealed.
It is said that the followers of Ogma, the god of knowledge, have a special ritual that allows them to learn their true name from the oracle of the named one through a mysterious ritual that will be completely bound to the life soul body, and this ritual will greatly strengthen their power, but if the true name is exposed to others, it means that life and death are controlled by others.
In Aaron's previous life, the ID card was controlled by others, and then it could be used for face recognition at will.
Among the treasures of the legendary assassins are the "Whisper of the Wind", an extraordinary enchanted longbow, and the "Elona's Quiver", an elven magic item, which Aaron gave to his cousin Maximian, who, as a warrior monk of the Sword Saint Sect, needed a good bow.
A ring "Summoning Wind Elemental Ring" can summon a Wind Elemental to help in battle, and the specific Wind Elemental summoned is determined by the user's charm.
However, this ring is flawed, and I don't know if it was due to the overuse of the Dreadblade or the brute force cracking of Tzeentch's good brother, this ring can only be used one last time.
Aaron held this ring and thought to himself, with my level of charisma, what kind of wind elemental would I summon?
This will only be known when it is used.
And then there's the horn.
The appraiser of the Adventurer's Guild took a five-fold discount on Aaron's face and accepted Aaron's entire 500 gold lion coins before identifying this extraordinary magic item.
[Valhalla's Horn: Legendary Transcendent Item, using this horn will summon 4-10 random Berserker Souls on the Joseph Garden plane, if the user is skilled in military weapons, then the Berserkers will assist the user in the battle, otherwise the Berserkers will attack the user.
Once used, the horn will be charged and will take at least 10 days to use it again. γ
This is an extremely rich harvest, and with this horn, Aaron is equivalent to having an elite that can be protected at any time.
In the end, the pile of sundries, souvenirs and gems was depreciated and sold for more than 3,000 gold lion coins.
After disposing of the filth, Aaron went to the library again, and with the highest authority given by the Regent's daughter, he finally found the information about Efrisca and the bald singer of the Hellmerchant before.
It was also Ms. Selinthy's book, and she mentioned that Everska was one of the last settlements of the Moon Elves in the realm, and that this place was still connected to the Elven Empire's navy, but the exact location and how to access it, Ms. Selinthy replied "No comment".
It's okay, the Dreadblade's treasure map has been marked.
Then there are the bald singers, Minauros and Azgrat mentioned.
The third level of hell, Minauros, the domain of the Grand Duke of Mammon, a place forever covered in rain and mire swamps, is also where the bald singer belongs.
Azgrat, the 45th-47th floors of the Abyss, is the domain of the Abyss Lord "Six-Fingered" Grazt.
Grazt, the Eomsy Monarch, the Great Lord of the Abyss, a god-like power, a fallen ruler and guardian of a decadent life. Warlocks and mages also usually revered him, as he is said to be the caretaker of countless secrets.
βemmmβ¦β¦ This guy always feels a little like ......" Aaron looked at the description in the book and fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, the flirtatious and graceful voice of the good brother in his body sounded in his ears, and he couldn't wait.
"Oh~ dear, where did you get the information? What is it? Well? Six fingers? A symbol of dissoluteness? Is he worthy? Is he worthy, is he worthy, is he worthy??? β
"Cricket, a false god, dares to claim to be the embodiment of temptation and charm! It's bold, it's bold! β
"Keeper of the Secret? Licentious? What kind of rags dare to call themselves the keepers of secrecy? β
"I love~ You will give me the body and soul of this false god as a testimony of our love and as a symbol of our friendship, right?"
Brother Slaanesh whispered in Aaron's ear, and it was clear that the Abyss Lord named Six-Finger had not only provoked Slaanesh's anger, but also aroused his intense interest.
It seems that the good brother of Slaanesh wants to have a "close contact" with Grazt.
Aaron was silent for a moment.
Every miller draws water to his own mill.
He curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Of course! β
"Great! I love, I'm going to give you a snake kiss and stick my tongue in your stomach! Slaanesh screamed excitedly.
"That's free." Aaron rejected Slaanesh's kindness.
He likes to use the tongue of slacker on others, but he doesn't like people to do it to him!
All preparations are going on closely, and at the same time, Aaron himself has not let go of the honing of his body and strength, he is constantly refining his magic control and exercising his body.
He had a wonderful premonition that he would come face to face with the son of Bane.
It's interesting to say, according to his information, Bann Miko changed careers halfway like him, and Bann Miko is said to have been trained as a merchant of the Anaheim arms dealership, but was forced to turn into a Purple Dragon Knight after a turbulent year and embark on the path of politics.
Aaron has always been cultivated as a purple dragon knight but the effect is not good, until he awakened the power of chaos and embarked on the road of warlock, although Aaron still has a purple dragon knight title on his head, but everyone knows that he will not continue to study in the knights in the future, either to go out, or as a princess and close minister to the court.
The two people are actually very similar, but the two people are completely different in their bones.
Aaron was chosen by the Four Gods of Chaos, and although he retained a certain amount of kindness, he was extremely disgusted with Bane's bureaucratic and totalitarian style to the extreme.
The two sides are destined not to get along, not to mention that Aaron still needs to seize the priesthood of "strife".
Aaron had learned that the Duke of Caspar and the Duke of Marelli had proposed to hold a large banquet in the manor in the city to celebrate the recapture of Arabel, at the expense of the Duke of Marelli, for all the nobles of Cormier, and the regent's daughter had agreed to go.
Aaron already smelled the conspiracy.
He took the opportunity to make a request to the regent daughter.
"What, you're going to have combat practice with me? Are you sure? On a bright spring day, Alice Searle, the regent's daughter, was surprised by her request from the Black Staff Celebrant.
"Yes, please have mercy on Your Highness." Aaron said respectfully.
"It's not impossible...... Alice Searle made sure from Aaron's eyes that he was serious, the delicate and cold face melted in an instant, and the corners of her mouth raised a light smile and hooked her fingers towards the man who was overwhelmed.
"It can be, but if you lose, you lose~ but there is a punishment~!"
"Well, if you lose once, you have to serve me once, and if you lose five times, you have to agree to a request unconditionally, how about it?" Alice Searle smiled, the princess was actually a little dissatisfied when she saw that Aaron didn't take the initiative during this time, and she was thinking about how to find an excuse for Aaron to take the initiative to bring this up, Aaron didn't send it to the door?
You little kitten, what else can you do, can you still escape from the palm of my hand?
You can't!
Alice Searle already had a picture in her head!
Updated, ask for a ticket duck~
