ps: Today's three watches, this is the first one!

Aaron woke up from his dream, and he lifted the covers to find himself covered in sweat.

Tick ~ Tick ~ Tick ~

Dark red raindrops dripped on Aaron's chest, and blood flowed down his nostrils, leaving a little plum mark on Aaron's clothes.

"Bilak ......" Aaron wiped the blood from his nose with his hands, and he used his heavenly magic to perform a cleansing spell on himself, and he never slept since.

Aaron didn't know how Birac had crossed the crystal wall system and came to the kingdom from the end of the infinite universe, but what he knew now was that he was in trouble, or if he was in big trouble.

Don't look at Birac who is always ridiculed as "never chosen", "13 family slaves", "defeatist strategists", and "toys of the four gods of chaos", but that is for the original body, the star gods, the legendary heroes of various races, and the warband leader.

For Aaron, Birac is currently an enemy that he can't fight, as the original demon prince, Birac is also a relatively weak god-like power, and Aaron himself is not even a legend.

How is this going to be fought?

Pushing open the window, it rained heavily outside the inn, and the rain covered every corner of the eye like a curtain, shrouding the world in a fog that was not clear, and also pressed deep on Aaron's heart.

If Birac was waiting for him in Mistrono, then his trip would be very, very dangerous.

Do you want to give up?

Aaron pondered what he should do.

The good news at the moment is that from the time Birac lured him to appear to the time when the two sides broke off contact, Birac was either restricted or did not know his specific location, otherwise the Lord of Shadows would not have been able to lure him in this way, but should have appeared directly in front of him, just like Birac manipulated Archaon and his previous series of eternal divine choices.

The second question is, if you want to deal with Birak, what means do you have?

Aaron thought about it, and he realized that he really didn't have the strength to fight against Birac.

First of all, Aaron has gotten rid of the burden of the last Golden Rule transformation, and even if he can't defeat Birac in the face of him, but relying on Draconien, he shouldn't be able to be taken down by Birac with one move, right?

Secondly, he also has the High Dragon Covenant of the Power Dragon on his body.

Aaron is not referring to the covenant with the Great Dragon Dragon, yes, Egil is a legendary dragon species, and only the young dragon has just entered the legend and already knows the eight rings of magic, and her strength is not enough to see in the face of Birac.

Aaron was referring to the use of the High Dragons Covenant to summon the older and more powerful dragons from the outer planes to aid in the battle.

This move is very powerful, with the level signed by Aaron, he should be able to easily summon the old power dragon or even the ancient power dragon, these dragons can be said to be no one except the real gods, even if Birac is a god-like power, he will definitely not be able to get benefits in the face of a group of divine dragons.

But here's the problem.

How much does it cost?

According to Yin Erminster, there are many powerful people in the kingdom who have made alliances with all kinds of dragons, but they have never used such methods to summon dragons for the simple reason that they have not used.

It's too expensive.

Dragons above the adult level have an amazing appearance fee, even if they don't do anything, at least they start with five-figure gold coins, this is still a friendship price, you really have to face a high-intensity battle, how much do the dragons want, do you dare not give it?

At the level of the ancient dragon or even the ancient dragon, the appearance fee starts directly at six figures (maybe seven figures), and the six-figure to seven-figure money is different from the commission issued by Ms. Raul who will be left in the local mercenary to participate in the economic cycle, and the dragons' desire to consume is about 0, they often take the money and run, and the amount is large, and the loss of a large amount of money is not only permanent, but may even cause a sharp drop in the gold reserves of the plane.

Can't afford it?

Aaron's mind immediately popped up with the great dragon dragon Egil, who excitedly pointed at himself with his dragon claws.

"Father, I want that! That's right, it's up to him! ”

This path is not a last resort, and Aaron does not intend to use it.

At last...... Aaron took out a scroll from his body, and the surface of the scroll was imprinted with the image of a hammer, and the power of thunder rolled and surged within the scroll.

The gift of the Dwarven God King Moradin, the Thunder God Spell Scroll, was delivered to Aaron by the Dwarven master craftsman Kim Gun-Fire Emblem.

This is what Aaron pressed the bottom of the box, and tearing this scroll can unleash a spell equivalent to the Dwarven God King Moradin striking with all his might.

This scroll can protect Aaron once, but only once.

But reminded by this scroll, Aaron thought of something else.

At this time, you must not retreat, once you retreat, not only will Birac know his whereabouts exactly, but it is more likely to bring trouble to others, to your own territory, to Cormier.

On the contrary, the complex terrain, dangerous monsters, terrifying environment, and mixed forces of Misdrano can provide Aaron with a lot of benefits, depending on how he operates.

Birac is new to the country, he doesn't know a lot of things, this is his advantage, he should take the initiative and try to solve the threat of Birac once and for all.

Fortunately, I have awakened to the present and have a good relationship with some kind side gods.

He began to pray:

Silvermoon, your child is in trouble.

I need your help!

His prayers were quickly answered.

"My child~"

…………

A day later, led by the harpist Sandra, Aaron and Anomin arrive in the Valley of the Shadows.

The son of Pasha from Karlinshan insisted on going to Comanso, even though Sandra repeatedly persuaded that the Great Forest of Comanso was very dangerous, Annomin was still very resolute, this guy was unwilling to reveal his surname, but he did not forcibly kidnap Aaron, he saw that his request was not accepted by Aaron, so he asked if he could at least send him to the Valley of Shadows.

The harpist Sandra agreed to the request, and together the three of them arrived in the Valley of the Shadows, the residence of the Great Sage Yin Erminster.

The Valley of Shadows is located in the northern part of the kingdom in the valley agricultural region, and its earliest recorded history is that of the Drow Elves, who enslaved the humans here and built a warped tower for the slaves to work on the ground, while they watched over it from the Shadows.

Later, the mage Ashabah led a predominantly human enslaved man to overthrow the rule of the Drow Elves, earning him the honor of naming the Tower of Twist and the River of the Valley of Shadows after him.

It seems that for this reason, the inhabitants of Shadow Vale are very disgusted with the rule of power like Drow, the lords of Shadow Vale are often elected from among the inhabitants, and the Shadow Vale people are clearly more likely to invite "outlanders" to serve as their lords than the natives, believing that only those outsiders who have been tried and tested to solve problems for the people of Shadow Vale and who have earned their respect will serve them sincerely.

It is worth mentioning that the previous lord of Shadow Valley had some relationship with Cormier, Omri Oberszir was invited to serve as a lord as a member of Cormier's royal family, he reigned for 39 years and was eventually killed by the Assassins, and his wife, Hiren Silverhand, one of the Seven Sisters of the Northlands, briefly served as regent as the lord's wife, until Shadow Valley invited a new lord, Florin Silverhand, under the introduction of Kelburn "Black Staff" of Waterdeep.

Yes, the silver hand again.

Aaron can only say that the private life of the second generation of the goddess of magic is a little too open, she has left many descendants in the kingdom and has had intimate relationships with many mortals, giving them silver fire, these voters have a long lifespan, one by one to enter the WTO activities, and the voters have left a lot of blood to form a network of relationships, forming a political entity with great influence.

No wonder legend has it that Yin Erminster is behind Waterdeep.

In the previous life, a very famous stalk of the second generation of the goddess of magic was "The world's cloth seeds!" ”。

The Valley of the Shadows in late autumn is not as lively as expected, and the Ashaba that passes through the gorge fills the fields on both sides, the valley is covered with trees, the sun is so weak here that the town of more than 10,000 people does not even have a decent wall.

"We've got Yin'er, we've got Helen, we've got Storm-Silverhand, what kind of wall do you want?"

- The words that the people of Shadow Valley like to brag about when they are drunk.

The name of the residence is the Tower of the Tower, but it is a small two-story villa with a garden, and in the turbulent years, Bane personally led the Santarimin to attack it in an attempt to seize the power of the Silver Fire and the Magic Net, and Yinminster unexpectedly repelled Bane's Sage Incarnation.

Aaron knocked on the door, and a young, well-dressed magic apprentice opened the door, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Aaron Salian, Minister of the Cormyr Guard, Champion Knight of Obeszir, Hero of the Purple Dragon Pavilion, Viscount Sunset, Elector of the Silver Virgin, and Head of the Five Heroes of Arabell, has come to see Lord Yoominster Omar."

The magic apprentice's face showed a confused look: "It's so long, I can't remember such a long title, can you be a little concise?" ”

"Poof~" Sandra and Ann Nuoming couldn't help but laugh, the Wind Chaser laughed the loudest, and Ann Nuoming held back a smile and moved his face away.

“…… You just say that Aaron is here to visit. "After Aaron's temptation, he can be regarded as having an understanding of the character of the people of Shadow Valley.

It seems that the people here really hate this.

"The Great Sage is not here, and the other day, he said that he was going to take a look outside." The magic apprentice shook his head, "The Great Sage is sometimes gone for years, and only His Excellency Storm-Silverhand can occasionally contact him. ”

Yin Erminster's absence disappointed Aaron, but he didn't have much hope for Yin Erminster, this old guy doesn't like to cause trouble at this age, and he doesn't like to take action in person, Aaron will come to see him more to understand "how to deal with a kind of divine power"?

Without seeing Yin Erminster, Aaron didn't even want to visit Storm-Silverhand: "Take me into the Great Forest of Comanso." ”

"I'm only responsible for bringing you to the vicinity of Mistrono." Sandra has no objections.

At this moment, Ann Nuomin finally spoke again, he walked up to Aaron, and bowed: "Your Excellency Aaron, I solemnly pray to you, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Can you help me get a bottle of water from the Pool of Glilariel in Mistronor?"

Ann Nuomin took out an ordinary ruby out of nowhere and sent it to Aaron's hand: "This is my request for a lifetime!" Please, this ruby is worth at least 200 gold coins in the market, as your reward, is that okay? ”

Aaron didn't take the ruby, he frowned, "You have to tell me why?" Why are you still here with such low strength? Why did you come here in all the trouble just to ask for a bottle of water? ”

Seeing that Aaron didn't answer, Anno pursed his lips in embarrassment and reluctantly twisted his head: "Can't it, is it just a simple transaction?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay." The son of Kalinshan's Pasha was finally forced to confide in the truth: "Everything started with my mother's bizarre illness. ”

As the son of the Pasha, Anomin had a low status in the family, and a few months ago his mother had a serious illness, a very strange disease, and his father sent a doctor to see it, saying that it was a strange curse, and that medicine and magic were ineffective.

In Karinshan, women were seen as possessions and had a low status, and each pasha was allowed to marry four wives and many more concubines.

In order to save his mother, An Nuoming asked for help everywhere, and a gas monster responded to him.

The strange spirit said: Give me a bottle of water from the pool of Glilariel, which is a fan of Strono, and I will save your mother.

Annomin came, despite his lack of strength, despite his lack of actual combat experience, he still came.

"So, all the reasons why you're here are just to save your mother?" Aaron pondered for a moment, remembering his parents who had fallen in battle, and then said softly, "Do you just want a bottle of water from the pool of Glilyriel?" Are there any other conditions for the gods? ”

"No, it just asks for a bottle of water from the Pool of Glilyriel in the ruins of Mistronor, that's all, as long as it's water from there, it says it will cast a spell to save Mother no matter what the water is."

"Okay then." Aaron looked at Ann Nuoming's expression and thought that this incident should not be fake.

Men's acting ability is naturally much lower than that of women, without special practice, it is almost impossible for a man in his twenties to have acting skills that can deceive Aaron, and Ann Nuoming is the first time to go out on an adventure, if he has such a powerful acting ability, then he will not fall to the current point.

Saving the mother, no matter what era and any background, is a display of the glow of human nature, and there will always be endless stories and stories to tell on this theme.

"Thank you very much!" Anomin immediately handed the ruby to Aaron, and he was about to cry with excitement: "Please take it!" ”

Aaron did not take it: "Put it away, son of the Pasha, you need it more than I do." ”

"Finally, let me make sure, do you really just want a bottle of water? When the time comes, if that angry monster says no, I will explain in advance that I will not be responsible. ”

"Yes, yes, as long as it's from the pool! I've asked three times. ”

"Okay, leave it to me."

Aaron agreed to the request and let Anomin wait here.

Everything is ready to go.

He looked out over the dark, deep, and fantastical forests of Comanso to the eastern part of the Valley of the Shadows.

So, that's where it begins.
