Chapter 397, You Also Call Yourself Emperor?
Long before the mission began, Aaron had Nestiana and Annomin ready for battle.
Baldur's Gate is so chaotic that the Lower Town is a haven for criminals at all times, with a limited number of Flame Fist mercenaries who will only punish the offenders, completely ignoring street fights and walking on the edge of the law, and may even join in.
And Baldur's Gate is a place where "freedom of association" is stipulated, and everyone is ready to "talk about not achieving a turn of face".
In the underground hall, the black-robed skeleton-faced man's order was given, and the Bal believers behind him immediately poured crossbow short swords towards Aaron and the others, and from time to time there was a roar of chanting magic, and the two Bal believers immediately guarded the door, wanting to prevent Aaron and the others from escaping.
The black-robed skeleton masked man led by him screamed, and the dense, thick air suddenly gushed out, it was the stench of burning incense and rotting corpses, and from the depths of his soul came a low and hoarse howl like a distant tornado, all showing the desire for blood and killing.
Darkness!
Another Bal believer tore open a scroll, and a large cloud of black mist enveloped the three of Aaron's place.
An Nuoming's pupils widened, and the demon prince immediately reacted to the darkness around him, but no matter how wide his pupils were, he couldn't see things in the darkness clearly, he still felt like he was in a sandstorm, and the heavy, stagnant darkness pressed him, and he could only barely see the vague figure that Qing himself touched.
From time to time, there is a faint light and shadow flashing ahead, and something is about to kill!
"Ann Nuomin, transform!" Suddenly, Aaron's roar woke up the demon prince: "Do it! β
Before Annomin transformed, the killing power from the Chaos Demon Domain shone first, Aaron pressed his waist with both hands, and the bright red eight-pillar emblem shone first on his belt!
Bloodthirsty Maniac, transform!
Sadistic power!
The blood of the tyranny flashed through the hall, and the power of Baal and the power of the sadism collided head-on, and the thirst for blood and killing on both sides was so desperate that everyone heard the sound barrier shattering and the structure of the hall shaking at the moment of the collision.
Aaron, in the state of bloodthirsty mania, grabbed a Bal believer into the air with his bare hands, he grinned and pressed his hands on the face of the Bal believer, his index and middle fingers clasped his head, and his thumb pinched along the eye socket, and in the screams of the Bal believers, the skull shattered, and the body dedicated to the King of Slaughter was torn into two pieces from the head to the body!
It was also at this moment that the power of the Sadist officially overpowered Balwin, suppressing the power of Bal, which had always been worshiped by the followers of the Lord of Slaughter.
Red, white, yellow, and green clumps fell, and Aaron threw the two stumps aside: "Nestia, cover me." β
"Giggles, it's finally a bit of a warrior, Aaron, you haven't done it all the time, and my sister still thinks you've been corrupted by aristocratic life!" Nestia giggled, sword and dagger, and followed Aaron into the midst of the Baal believers.
The roar of the Demon Prince of Chaos filled the area like a continuous ringing of bells, drowning out the eyes and ears of the Baal cultists, and Annomin stepped out of the dark arts, the black body of the Demon Prince and the huge bat wings all showing the power of Chaos.
It was not easy to confront the demon prince head-on, and the moment the Bal believer Annomin transformed, he was torn to shreds in the moment when he transformed, and the stone floor where Annomin walked was tumbling with flames, and the pink and blue Tzeentch fire was tumbling in the darkness, stretching out like a devil's claw to the Bal cultists.
A beast spirit exploded on the floor, lighting up the armor of the hall, and Nestiana found that it was incredibly high,ββ and the dimension here must have been strengthened by magic, otherwise it would be impossible for the Elven Song Tavern to contain such a large space underneath.
When the sharp blade of the Bal believers touched the terrifying power of Aaron's body, the domineering power from the eight pillars of the skull emblem rune made every Bal believer scream, and they were horrified to find that even the Baal divine power in their bodies could not fight against the demon in front of them, Aaron beheaded a Bal believer with a sword, and the blood of the Killing King believer almost sprayed to the ceiling, and the indescribable joy in this made Aaron's emotions even more irrepressibly excited, he turned the blade and smashed half of the face of another black-robed man with a punch, grabbing his head with his hand, pulling his spine and his head out of his body, and with a backhand sword, the sword of the Dark Moon burning with chaos fire pierced the fear aura shield of the Baal cultists, following the deadly rhythm from the left shoulder to the right knee, severing in two.
Through the dark spell, Aaron saw that Nestia was also fighting, the dark spirit sister was as light as a cheetah, her small mouth was not open, one sword song after another, the magic tattoos on her body appeared along the magic power of the song, the colorful beast patterns strengthened Nestia's body in waves, the dark spirit sister swirled in the air, and under the power of the sword song, the heads of the Bal believers flew up, with her tight leather coat and knee-high leather boots, like a thorny thorn rose.
The Demon Prince Annomin was constantly firing at the nearby Bal cultists, one of his hands spitting strings of Tzeentki's colorful flames, making him look like he was standing in the middle of a volcano, the demon black sword in his hand slashing, each sword causing the flesh of the Bal cultists to fall apart under his jagged greatsword.
There was a cracking sound in his ears, Aaron's chains of hatred shattered, and the black-robed skeleton man broke an arm in the explosion of the abusive power, and retreated in pain, the curse of the sadism made the Baal believers lose their strength, and he wailed and signaled to retreat, but at this time, the Baal believers who had killed mad completely lost their minds.
Bleed, bleed more! Every once in a while, if one of the throats is not tore open and a life is given to Baal, the growing hunger and thirst will swallow up the sanity of these believers.
Annomin was attacked by a bloody scythe, the Blade of Fear of the Bal Believers cut his throat directly, and the Baal Believers who swooped down beheaded him, and the great head of the Demon Prince flew up, but then it was pulled by the black silk thread in the neck of the blood spray, and returned to his neck again, Ann Normin calmly broke his head with his hand, ripped the Bal Believer from the air and fell to the ground, and slashed it with a sword.
A thunderbolt mixed with the sound of sword songs, Nestia's sword dagger slashed along the throat of the Bal believer, the dark spirit sister threw out the dead black-robed man, and in the air a delicate body dodged the sneak attack of another Bal believer, the delicate and soft dark spirit sister with a pair of black silk boots and long legs hooked the neck of the comer, and twisted, click, the Bal believer fell to the ground.
The power of abusiveness exploded again, and the lava of the Iron Fire Fortress dripped from the giant axe, slashing at the shoulder of the black-robed skeleton man, and the bloodthirsty demon Aaron pressed down the axe handle, and the black-robed skeleton man's body was already charred in the magma, like a helicopter crash.
The encounter ended, and none of the dozen or so Bal believers who came to meet survived.
Aaron's side had nothing to lose except for Annomin's head being cut off and Nestia's leather armor leaving a few cuts, revealing the Mithril inner armor inside.
Pulling the Drapotic Axe from the blackened corpse of the blackened skeleton man, Aaron, the Bloodthirsty Demon, groped around with him with a frown, finding a charred letter and two keys, as well as some scattered coins.
The charred letter bears a few short sentences:
"For more information on what you want, please go to the Hall of the Knights of the Shields in the Underground of the Elven Song Tavern.
This matter (a long paragraph of illegible words)
You are faithful, Emperor! β
EmperorοΌ Aaron didn't remove the bloodthirsty demon transformation, he thought to himself, the person who this group of Bal believers met in private was really called Emperor?
The Emperor?
Due to the fierce fight before, part of the letter was burned, and the content was already blurred, and Aaron couldn't help but feel very sorry, he flipped the burnt letter several times, and could not find more useful content.
Looking at the two keys again, one key has a skull insignia on it, and the other key is mediocre, and I don't know where it is used: "Sister, Ann Nuomin, have you found anything?" β
"Giggles~ Brother, your adventure experience is still not enough, who told you to use this kind of spell indiscriminately, now it's okay, you burned the most important letter!" Nestia laughed coquettishly, and the dark spirit sister immediately put away the golden ticket brought by the Bal believers, and by the way, she looked for other useful things on the Baal believers: "And you, Annomin, you are also a fool, don't use fire magic indiscriminately in this narrow terrain, didn't Aaron teach you?" β
An Nuo Ming, who was in the state of the demon prince, roared angrily, he didn't have much reason at this time, and only relied on instinct to do things.
"Tut-tut, a total of 25 tickets, 25,000 gold coins, these Bal believers are really rich, I just don't know what they want to buy." Nestia ordered the golden ticket, and the dark elf sister put the golden ticket away for Aaron: "It seems that there was an accident, brother, we are going to meet the noble Lady Julia of the Bode Sect, and the Bal believers are going to see the emperor, and we have all brought money and are ready to trade...... Could it be that the Bal believers also wanted to buy Bodrian's charts? β
Before the words fell, a portal opened on the side of the underground hall of the Knights of the Shield: "The answer is incorrect, the lady of the Mistress of the Ban Rui family, what the Baal believers want to buy is other news." β
Out of the portal stepped out of the portal a beautiful elf lady with brown hair and white skin, she had a very similar appearance to Nestia, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a white and gold bust and a golden-red lining symbolizing the nobility of Bode, two mink furs hanging from the outside, a pair of knee-high heeled boots with a zipper behind them shining like a ribbon on a Christmas tree, a slightly curly brown hair coiled into a hanging ponytail tied at the side of the front of her, a high nose, big eyes, and a delicate face without a trace of flaws.
"Welcome to the Hall of the Knights of the Shield, honored guests, you have shown that you are more worthy of cooperation, so, tell me, guest, what do you want to get Bodrian's charts for?" With one hand on her waist, the Elven Lady stood condescendingly on a high platform, seemingly unaware of the corpses and the smell of blood in the entire hall.
"You're Lady Julia?" Aaron calmly looked at the noble lady on the high platform: "Or are you the emperor?" Are you deliberately asking us to fight, intending to test our strength? β
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters, my honored guest, what do you want to get the Bodian chart?" The elven lady always kept a commercial smile: "Don't you want to get the charts anymore?" If you don't want to, just go ahead and answer the questions with questions. β
"You are not Lady Julia, none of the Bode nobles are of elven blood, there is only one dwarf family in the entire Bode Sect, and all of them are human...... Then you must be the 'emperor' mentioned among the Baal believers. Bloodthirsty Aaron raised his head: "Interesting, it's the first time I've heard that there are similar masterminds behind Baldur's Gate who like to call themselves by the code name 'Emperor', we all know that Baldur's Gate has been a parliamentary system since its establishment, and unless the founder Bod'an returns like lightning, the council will not recognize a so-called Baldur's Gate 'Emperor'." β
"Looks like you know a lot about the history of Baldur's Gate." Lady Elf continued to support her waist: "Lady Julia is my partner, if you want, you can also become my partner, I have to say, you have found the right person, in the entire Baldur's Gate, only we have Bodan's charts in our hands, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I can consider giving you the charts." β
"Then the question is, Outlander, or Your Excellency Viscount Cormier, Aaron Salian, the Flower Knight of the Fairy Princess, what do you want Bodrian's charts for?" The elven lady asked the question again.
"In the face of this death trap, there is nothing to talk about between us." Aaron pointed to the corpse of the Bal believer on the ground: "Do it! β
The Demon Prince swooped to his feet, his wings spread, and Nestia's sword song resounded, cold as ice.
The moment she turned her face, time became so slow, so slow that it was tormentingly slow, and the elven lady obviously didn't expect Aaron to change her face so quickly, and a surprised expression just appeared on her face, Nestia and Annomin had already killed her side.
Ann Nuomin has never been a cold-blooded killer like the Bal Believers, but he is also strong and agile with the blessing of the power of chaos, and he only needs a chance to get close to him, and he has the confidence to take down the weak lady in front of him in one fell swoop!
The flying Annomin was noticeably quicker than Nestia, and he was already approaching the noblewoman, standing up, thrusting, claws like lightning.
However, the noble lady reacted like lightning, and she turned her body around with an incredible speed of spell preparation, and raised her palms.
The purple force field beam smashed a demon prince directly to the ground, and slammed into the pile of books, kicking up countless smoke and dust, Annomin was smashed by this blow and his eyes burst, blood spurted out of his mouth and nose, and the chest of the beam in the middle was directly shattered into a big pit!
Solving Annomin, the noblewoman acted again, she tore through the space with her bare hands, creating gravitational points in the air, and the sudden black hole forced Nestia to give up the advance and retreat, and the sword song resounded.
This time the sword song magic did not work, and a laser shot out from the noble lady's body, forcibly interrupting Nestia's spell, and the dark spirit sister had just landed, and the noble lady said, "Just stay there." β
The human immobilization technique was completed, and Nestia's body was shrouded in purple light, and the angry expression of the dark spirit sister stayed on her face.
The giant axe landed, and the bloodthirsty demon Aaron found that what he had slashed was nothing more than a phantom, and the elven lady rushed forward a distance, and the force field shock wave shook the roof of the underground hall and fell a few pieces of rubble, and the two sides clashed in the air for a few rounds, and sparks splashed everywhere!
Much to Aaron's expectations, the elven lady in front of her actually did not fall behind in the face of the melee battle of the bloodthirsty demon, and the force field energy in her hands was as skillful as a free-turning Rubik's cube, and even the bloodthirsty demon transformation could not suppress the other party.
You can't capture her alive!
Luckily, Aaron still has a weapon.
Holding down his waist with one hand, the Keeper of Secrets transforms into the place of the Bloodthirsty Maniac, and the power of Slaanesh is activated, and his seductive eyes open, locking the soul of the Elven Lady.
Slaanesh's super magical ability, Slaanesh's countenance!
The Prince of Pleasure's face emerged from the void, and he opened his mouth to spit out six spiked nine-section whips, ready to slash the soul of the elven noblewoman.
However, Slaanesh's nine-section whip hit nothing, the spirit world of the elven noblewoman was empty, nothing existed, and the power of Slaanesh did not find a trace of the existence of the soul after touching the elven noblewoman.
The "emperor" has no soul.
The noblewoman's counterattack came with great speed, and the razor-sharp force field blade pierced Tzeentch's divine spark shield and pierced Aaron's shoulder armor, nearly chopping off his arm.
The pain made Aaron the Keeper of Secrets even stronger, and his brain suddenly remembered something, and quickly retreated to dodge the noble lady's heart explosion, and his hand covered his injured shoulder: "You are ...... Mind Flayer?! β
"I'm glad you recognize me for what I am, Outlander." The elven lady slowly discarded her disguise.
More than two meters tall, the long octopus whiskers writhing, the perfect heart gravitating demon with purple skin suspended in the air with his hands behind his back, and his small purple eyes were solemn and elegant: "I refer to the rumored image you like...... It turns out that the information in my hands is incomplete, and this appearance does not seem to appeal to you, Lord Aaron of Cormyr. β
"To reintroduce myself, my name is 'Emperor', but in the language of Mind Flayer I shouldn't be called Emperor, Monarch, the name given to me by the Mastermind." The Perfect Mind Flayer 'Sovereign' gracefully saluted Aaron: "Nice to meet you, I repeat, I don't think there is any point in the fight between us. β
"You, from Cormier, want to get Bodan's charts, and I, want your help."
"We need each other, very much."
