Chapter 351, Go, Baldur's Gate!
PS: I'm sorry to be late, but the feeling of playing Baldur 3 yesterday was, it, it's dark? Damn, it's dawn?
The journey to Baldur's Gate in search of Chanem, the Son of Bal, and the Primordial Demon Prince began after the snow melted in early 1364 in the Vale Calendar, and Aaron approached Baldur's Gate from three directions.
The first way is to be in charge of his butler Arian and others, Arian himself is not even a professional, he is a courteous aristocratic diplomat, Aaron arranged for Arian and the Silver Chamber of Commerce and others to set off from Sunset Territory in the name of Cormyr's official diplomatic corps, carrying a large number of goods of the Silver Chamber of Commerce, disguised as Aaron and Eleanor and others are also in this caravan, and the visiting brigade of hundreds of people swaggers forward towards Baldur's Gate.
With the legendary Paladin Hand of Dawn, the quasi-legendary Lady of Silverstar, and Aaron's Knight Mentor Lucian, this setup is more than enough to deal with most enemies.
The second way is the dark elf sister Nestia, according to Aaron's arrangement, Nestia first has to go to the dark region and the Rose Church to discuss the matter of introducing gray dwarves in batches, in this matter Aaron gave Nestia a more clear bid line, and asked her to go to Baldur's Gate to meet Samir after talking, and investigate the specific situation of Baldur's Gate first.
The third way is Aaron himself, who, after explaining a series of things to his cousin Robert and cousin Maximian, handed over the affairs of the territory to Buyer and Egil.
Don't look at Egil is the head haha dragon, in fact, the era of dragon domination of the continent is far longer than the era of human domination of the continent, in the fall of the five founding races, it is precisely because of the countless dragon eggs brought by the comet impact that the dragon strength is too strong, in the heyday of the dragon, almost all the rulers of the entire country are served by the dragon, and the once prosperous giant empire is only left with a ruin in the northwest of the country after a long war with the dragon.
The knowledge in Egil's bloodline was born to tell her how to rule, and she just didn't use it.
When boarding the Wyvern Water Lake passenger ship, the fat day elf Bariel was still telling Aaron about the history of the kingdom: "According to the records of Yongju Island, it can be determined that the spirit of one of the five founding races has summoned the elves, that is, the children born in the blood of our lord Corellon, the High Elves. ”
Bariel's fat belly shook in front of Aaron, and the Sun Elf, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses (he was not nearsighted at all) and wearing a heavy Moonflower robe of Eternal Gathering Island, said to Aaron happily, "The elves hoped that we elves would be able to destroy the dragon, and in fact, we did. ”
"So you elves are essentially aliens, and the kingdom is just a colony of yours, and look at the good things you have done." Aaron climbed the VIP gangway with Bariel with a dark face, and motioned for the eldest lady and the pastor behind him to follow.
The other two teammates Aaron chose were naturally Miss Charlotte and Miss Eleanor.
The charming and foxy eldest lady is wearing a sallow white Cormier winter aristocratic dress with gray matte pantyhose today, a simple silver bootie with a silver chain on it, a pink hair slightly coiled up to make a princess hairstyle, full of vitality, and golden eyes full of joy and yearning for the outside world.
The bright and holy lady priest was wearing a silver Santa Maria Christmas dress with pure white jacquard ice and snow pattern pantyhose, and Eleanor, who was more afraid of the cold, chose a pair of brown leather boots suitable for travel, a long bright blonde hair hidden in the cloak, the secret realm close-fitting half-armor on the body was hidden on the inside of the coat, and a sword and hammer hung from the waist, which looked not easy to mess with.
Eleanor was also happy to be able to travel with Aaron, and although she was habitually expressionless, the corners of her mouth that curled up from time to time and the gentle look she looked at Aaron showed that she was happy with Aaron's choice.
"Aliens? Colony? Forehead...... Sort of. In the face of Aaron's question, Bariel is also very single, this day elf mage seems to be much more honest than other day elves, the day elf spread his hands: "For you humans, we elves are indeed aliens, in the long history, we elves have taught you a lot, and we have indeed done some things that are not very good for you, for the sake of the valley standing stones, can we not discuss this topic?" ”
Aaron couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
The elves' colonial conquest of the kingdom is actually a bit similar to Aaron's European conquest of the Americas in his previous life.
When the elves arrived in the kingdom, they began to ask the local races, "Who does this planet belong to?" ”
At that time, the founding race had been weakened, and the continent was in chaos, and the local race that was questioned naturally replied, "I don't know who the kingdom belongs to." ”
"Then it's mine." The elves thought.
As a result, this group of aliens overwhelmed all the local races and became the dominant race on the continent.
The only ones who told the elves that "the kingdom belongs to us" were the dragons.
The elves responded by pulling out the Dragonmania Lock.
Dragon, pawn.
So the elves officially declared themselves masters of the kingdom.
"Your Excellency, I have prepared a surprise for you and the two ladies today." Barrell said with a smile when he saw that Aaron didn't plan to ask any more.
"Surprise?" Aaron raised his eyebrows: "I arranged the most expensive VIP cabin, and I also gave you an additional salary of 2,000 gold coins, and now you want to surprise me in turn?" ”
"Hehehehe, it's not a valuable thing, but it will definitely satisfy Your Excellency." Barrell pushed his glasses, "Stay tuned!" ”
"Looking forward to it!" The eldest lady raised her hand, jumped on both legs, and stepped onto the gangway.
“…… Let's take a look at the room first. Eleanor, on the other hand, always carried a small statue of Suren in her arms.
With this, see how dare you bully me?
Miss Priest thought wildly, and two blushes quickly appeared on her face, and her mind was full of strange images, but the super high perception attribute of being a priest immediately made her feel that there were two people in the queue to board the passenger ship, watching them.
Eleanor immediately looked back, and she saw two drow elves with gorgeous silver hair and jet-black skin with their bodies hidden under cloaks and musical instruments behind their backs, both of whom were women.
Noticing Miss Pastor's gaze, the two female drows immediately folded their bodies and blended into the crowd.
"Aaron, it looks like there are two female drows following us." Eleanor immediately whispered to Aaron.
"Two female drows?" Aaron also noticed after being reminded: "By the way, it seems that Titch did report that there were two female Drows who had been singing and performing on a big passenger ship to make money. ”
"Drow is drow, don't care too much." Bariel waved his hand: "The people of your kingdom always subconsciously regard all the drow as the children of the spider queen, but if you want me to say, in the multiverse, the dark elves who believe in the spider queen are not the majority, and some other dark elves in the crystal wall system have not even heard the name of the spider queen. ”
"I feel it, they are not the Drow of the Spider of Faith, Your Excellency, two ladies, let's get on board."
"The surprise I've got for you is at dinner!"
"Let's go!"
…………
Two hours later, in the dining room of the large passenger ship that set sail, the four-person team that had just set up a residence reunited in the corner of the restaurant and sat down, and sure enough, as Barrell said, the two drow elves were singing in the restaurant and receiving rewards from everyone.
On the wooden table was Barrell's surprise - a large pot of stew, still sibling hot.
There was a large pile of meat for unknown reasons stewed in the pot, and the head of a crawling thing could be faintly seen.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Miss Charlotte was simply curious about everything, her hands were interlocked, her pink hair was flicked in the air, her greedy little nose sniffed the contents of the cauldron, and her saliva was about to flow down: "What is this?" It looks delicious! ”
"Like a lizard?" Eleanor gave Charlotte a blank look, and Miss Pastor wondered if this greedy fox could not be so ashamed! There are people watching from the side!
Fortunately, I moved quickly just now and took a vantage point in the suite.
"Is this what you call a surprise?" Aaron frowned and looked at the cauldron, looking at the various spices in the pot, marinated into a sauce-colored, coiled into a ball of unknown organs, and had a little ominous premonition: "Is it ......?"
"I ordered it." Barrell smugly pushed his glasses, "That's it!" ”
"Which one?" The eldest lady's eyes lit up.
"Wait, could this be?!" Eleanor also had a bad premonition, and Miss Pastor took a step back.
"O young dragon of the white dragon! The complete one! I bought it hard from the Snow Elves! Barrell laughed and clapped his hands, "How's that, do you like it?" ”
"Oh~" The eldest lady pretended to be shy, but there was no shyness on her face, but she was very looking forward to it, and her hands had already grabbed the knife and fork: "I want to eat, I want to eat!" ”
“……。” Eleanor's face was already dyed burgundy, the holy Miss Priest pretended to be reserved and pretended to be calm, but the slightly trembling hands and the eyes that looked at Aaron from time to time had betrayed Miss Pastor, the boots under the table were slightly circled along the ground, and her hands were clasped on her knees, these small movements were telling Aaron that Eleanor was nervous.
Aaron understood.
After eating, go and match the pastor's lady!
Aaron decided to accept Barrell's kindness, and he scooped a white dragon meat from the cauldron with a flower knife and bit off half of it in one bite.
Well, very fresh and very tasty.
"Delicious, right? It's a owl egg, I added a owl egg! ”
Seeing Aaron eat, Charlotte and Eleanor were not to be outdone, and the eldest lady, who had been waiting for a long time, scooped up a column casually, no matter what it was, and directly cut it into six finger-shaped cylinders with a knife, one bite at a time, and chewed it vigorously.
Eleanor, on the other hand, was much more shy, and Miss Priest carefully scooped up a piece that looked like a large eyeball, cut it a little, and savored it in small bites.
Enjoying Bariel's surprise, Aaron took the opportunity to ask his long-standing doubts: "Bariel, why did you come to the kingdom?" Is it just to be an outpost of the Lost Strano Army? ”
"Outpost?" Barrell poured himself a glass of red wine and said meaningfully, "I'm the man who wants to be the crown!" ”
The crown? Lost to the crown? Aaron looked at the confident Barrell and couldn't help but quip: "You don't have the blood of the Comantor royal family in you, the bloodline of the crown king Iltaglin has been cut off, and you are not the designated object of Lady Serinhy, how can you become the crown king of Misdrano?" ”
Don't look at the elves who talk about freedom and equality all day long, the Japanese elves attach great importance to bloodlines, they consider themselves to be direct descendants of the High Elves, pure descendants of the blood of Corellon, and never look down on other elves.
In the face of Aaron's question, Barrell was noncommittal, he did not answer Aaron's question, but said naturally: "If there is more, it is the Council of Elven High Archmages, if I continue to stay on Eternal Gathering Island, I may not have the opportunity to sit in the Council in the twilight of my life." ”
"But Your Excellency's astral magic has given me hope, so I'm here." The fat man of the day elf had a mouth full of white dragon bones in his mouth, and his words were indistinct: "The High Archmage Council stipulates that only 300 years old can be eligible to sign up for the waitlist, and I am only 127 years old this year, so I don't want to continue to waste time on Yongju Island." ”
"I see." Aaron didn't say anything more, and after eating a stomach full of surprises, he was already feeling.
At the end of dinner, Barrell watched the three of Aaron go back to his room, sat in the dining room and listened to a performance, then got up and went back to his room.
No surprise, the two female drow elves suddenly stopped Bariel.
"The Moonflower Clan of Yongju Island, on behalf of the Dark Maiden, we hope that you will introduce us to ......," the Pipa Dark Spirit led by the Pipa Dark Spirit took the initiative to say.
"Fuck off, nigger." Bariel immediately put away the smile on his face, and the Sun Elf examined the two female Drows from head to toe with his eyes, and raised his chin: "I don't need to buy goods...... Slaves are also not needed. ”
"You!" The faces of the two female drows changed.
"Guilty." Barrell continued, "Corellon has acquitted your master, but your master has pleaded guilty. ”
With a single mouth, Bariel choked Drow's words.
The fat man of the day elf said with contempt: "The black cow and the white cow can be matched with the black and white flower cow, and the and the El-Tai-Kviser together can not be matched with the black and white flower essence. ”
With that, Bariel motioned for the two Drow to get out of the way and return to the house alone: "Go back to where you should go, for the sake of the Dark Maiden, I forgive you for your offense, and remember that you Drow can't talk to me until El Tay-Kviser takes the initiative to talk to you." ”
"Vanessa, what to do?" After the Sun Elf entered the door, the slender daughter of the blue eyes, Zhuo Er, said helplessly, "Obviously, in his eyes, we are not his compatriots. ”
"Kafka, it looks like we'll have to find another way." The female Zhuoer with the marimba on her body had a firm look in her eyes: "For the master's plan, no matter what the cost, we will do whatever it takes!" ”
At the same time, in a deluxe room.
Barrell sat on the bed, his round-rimmed glasses reflecting a bright glow, completely obscuring one of his small eyes in the reflection, and a row of small gray beads swirling rapidly along the Sun Elf's body.
"Who said I had to be the crown king of Mistronor?" The Sun Elf mage observed the nodes of space-time, and from his surroundings, the countless fates in the long river of light were changing, constantly constricting, and he was constantly looking for the results he wanted.
"I didn't say that I was going to be the man who crowned the king!"
