June 1365 in the Vale calendar, on the second day of the Battle of Baldur's Gate.

As soon as dawn had risen, the priest of Losanda had already played the song of heaven, and in the ruined city of Baldur's Gate, the priest of the Lord of the Morning Light played the organ, and then the priest of the goddess of fortune, Temorrah, took the coins from the basket and sprinkled them on the coffin.

In this disaster, nearly 80,000 people died in the Baldur's Gate, and the huge, majestic-sized long coffin contained the body of the Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, Takshi, according to the custom of the Takshi's hometown of Karatu Blackwater area, the Baldur's Gate City Council specially asked the Gongde craftsmen to quickly make the nine-headed dragon-shaped sculpture in front of it, forming the grand occasion of the "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin".

As for the coffin bearer, Baldur's Gate respected the last wish of the Grand Duke of Takers, and selected seven dancers from the Shanni Church wearing ties and suits and black jackets to carry the coffin, and the Charres Church was responsible for playing the energetic music next to it.

The coffin was golden, engraved with the golden double-headed eagle and the holy emblem of Brother Mao, and the whole body shone with a scorching light, and the watchmen and Flame Fist who had survived the battle were lined up, led by the Duke of Irtan, the commander of the Flame Fist, and on the other side were the Silver Dragon Knights who rushed to participate in the battle, led by Aaron.

The Silver Dragon Knights lost more than thirty of them in the Battle of Baldur's Gate, and now there are only about sixty left, but their souls have all returned to Aaron's arms, and if they are properly reforged, these fallen Silver Dragon Knights have a chance to resurrect.

The neat road is lined up on both sides, and today, the Baldur's Gate is empty, and all the Baldurians have come to pay the funeral of the Grand Duke of Taks, Viscount Cormier Aaron and his companion Goblin Princess Bouyere, and the legendary power dragon Egil stand at the forefront with their heads held high, and the church army, the High Priest of Gonde, the three holy warriors of justice, Kaidon Renard, and the legendary powerhouses of Baldur's Gate who live in seclusion are standing slightly behind.

As the priest of Temorrah sprinkled the last two gold coins for Takshi, Priest Shirek closed the coffin as the representative of the god of the dead, until this moment, all the Bode nobles saluted to the Tucker world, and the blessings of the gods fell on the coffin of Takshi, and the only two remaining Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate, Anta Silver Shield and Duke Iltan, came to Aaron and introduced himself to him.

Anta Silver Shield is a very typical image of a middle-aged nobleman, full of energy and ambition, he is not a very good warrior in his sixties, but he is a very good politician and nobleman, he has indeed been thinking about Baldur's Gate, but also for his own family, the Silvershield family has controlled several very important trade routes in Baldur's Gate, this war is not only a blow to the Silvershield family, but also means a lot of opportunities.

When the Duke of Iltan was inaugurated as Duke of Bode by Anta Silver Shield, he was only a squad leader of the Flame Fist, and the friendship and cooperation between Anta Silver Shield and the Duke of Iltan began at that time, and Irtan rose step by step with the support of Anta Silver Shield and gradually became the commander-in-chief of the Flame Fist, and these two people controlled the Bode Navy and the other controlled the Bode Army, becoming the two most powerful dukes of the Baldur Gate.

Unlike Duke Anta-Silvershield, Duke Iltan has always been a voice of reason and justice in the council of Baldur's Gate, and although Duke Irtan is not always on the side of justice, there is no doubt that Duke Irtan represents the interests of the commoners more, he is far more popular among the commoners than the other three dukes, and he symbolizes the independence of the judiciary and the spirit of freedom and the rule of law.

However, according to Nestia's investigation when she disguised herself as the Lady Julia of the Baldeon, the two dukes were allies in the full sense of the word, each of them responsible for supporting their own forces and forming a risk hedge mechanism, both competitive and xenophobic.

"I don't know what you talked about with Tuckers, but I hope Your Excellency will not interfere in Bode's internal affairs." Anta Silver Shield looked at the several Lady Dancers who were carrying the coffin with a complicated expression, and said to Aaron, "We can be friends, Cormier is far from here, isn't it?" ”

"Of course, I have always respected the tradition of Baldur's Gate autonomy and the four-dukes' parliamentary system." Aaron nodded at the burning gaze of Anta Silvershield.

"Then the Silver Shield family will always be your customers, Lord Sallian." Anta Silver Shield said without hesitation: "The Silver Chamber of Commerce will get a high-quality piece of land in the upper city, and your people will always be treated preferentially at the Baldur's Gate, I promise." ”

"I promise too."

"I'm sad and glad about what happened to Tuckers." Seeing that the negotiations were going well, Antar Silver Shield put down a big stone in his heart, and the old duke was worried that Aaron would participate in the internal affairs of Baldur's Gate as a hero of the city, if so, it might be difficult for his alliance with Irtan to resist Aaron's invasion: "In a moment of crisis, we need him, but the war is over." ”

The meaning of Anta - Silver Shield Aaron understands.

In a state of war, Baldur's Gate can tolerate a "dictator", and when the war is over, Baldur's Gate does not need a dictator.

However, if Takshi insists on continuing to serve as the Grand Duke with the power of victory and the political correctness of the rat, and the remaining two dukes are not able to stop it, then over time, the tradition of Baldur's Gate will be broken, and the status of the free port and the trade capital will inevitably be greatly affected.

The attitude of Anta Silver Shield and Duke Iltan towards the death of Takshi was "joy and pity", they were glad for the death of Takshi, and grieved for the hero's sacrifice, they took out a lot of real money to hold the most solemn funeral for the hero of Baldur's Gate, and did not want Takshi to be resurrected.

This is exactly what Aaron wants, doesn't Birac want to disguise himself as a human hero and absorb the faith?

It was a real show that left a deep impression on others and carved the image of "the people are gone" into the DNA of the nation, and when everyone thought that Tuckers was dead, the concept of "death" was added to Birac.

At that time, even if Birac announces "I won the repechage and came back", do you think everyone will believe it?

"I heard you're not married." Duke Anta-Silver Shield appropriately mentioned, "Have you considered my daughter Shi Ji?" ”

As soon as these words came out, before Aaron could answer, he immediately felt several eyes behind him like a stab in his back.

Due to the funeral, Eleanor, Charlotte, and Egil all changed into standard black mourning dresses with opaque black silk pantyhose, black top hats, and only a slight decoration on their hair accessories.

The charismatic Lord Aaron Salian is a blessing.

As soon as he heard this topic, all eight eyes, including Bouille, locked on Aaron.

Eleanor sneered, Charlotte smirked, Bouiller blinked with interest, and the dragon dragon Egier slapped Aaron on the back: "Oops, minion, good charm!" ”

"I have a girlfriend." Aaron, who was under a lot of pressure, said to Duke Anta-Silvershield.

Aaron, who had visited Baldur's Gate, also had an impression of Duke Anta-Silvershield's daughter, who he remembered repeatedly appearing in the Baldur's Gate series and ending up running away with a bard?

"Who decreed that a man could only marry one wife?" Anta Silver Shield had an indifferent attitude, he deliberately glanced behind Aaron, and raised his voice: "I have two wives in my manor, Your Excellency Salian won't be unable to find the blessings of two different gods, right?" ”

"Then why don't I go back and ask Her Highness Alice Serre, the Regent?" Aaron retorted quietly, "I told her that Duke Anta-Silver Shield of Baldur's Gate wants to marry his daughter Shiji to me and let Her Highness make a decision?" ”

This time it was Anta-Silvershield's turn not to speak, and the treacherous and cunning Duke had already understood Aaron's subtext.

This kid...... At this time, Antar Silver Shield believes that Aaron really has no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of Baldur's Gate.

He wants to be Cormier's prince!

"It's my turn." Seeing that the situation was about the same, Aaron said to Anta Silver Shield and Duke Iltan that he was missing, and walked towards the center of the funeral.

The two Duke of Baldur's Gate and Eleanor and others were left behind, but before Eleanor could speak, the Duke of Iltan took the initiative to speak: "Yesterday, the representative of the Golden Dwarf reported that after the battle, the settlement house was ransacked by a group of unknown robbers wearing hoods, and the deposits and valuables of the citizens of Bode totaling 280,000 gold coins were looted, Miss Eleanor and Miss Charlotte, do you have any clue?" ”

"Uh............" Charlotte and Eleanor immediately shut their mouths.

Fortunately, the Duke of Irtan did not intend to pursue the matter, and the two sides tacitly stopped the conversation.

And at this time, the big dragon dragon Egil clapped his hands excitedly: "It's started, the servants are about to start performing!" ”

At the end of the cemetery, preparations were made for Aaron's arrival, and the priests of the King of the Dead, Hirek, had set aside an ancient stone platform for Aaron's performance, an old marble platform surrounded by statues of stalwarty warriors, illuminated by a brazier with incense.

Everything was ready on the platform, the richly dressed Baldean dignitaries gathered just to catch a glimpse of Aaron's own performance, the children's choir was all in place, Aaron bowed to everyone, he smiled as best he could, and greeted the crowd with absolute calmness and peace.

Today's protagonist is not him, or at least not exactly him.

A strong sense of dislocation caused Aaron's heart to be stirred into a whirlpool of turmoil, even for the Baldur's Gate and even to Aaron's final fight against the Great Horned Rat.

I am the Child of Chaos, I am the Emperor's Forbidden Army, I am the King of the Golden Law, and I am the Lord of Reincarnation.

Aaron warned himself – never to fall into such arrogant conceit.

The band plays, and to a light and empty beat, Aaron's performance begins.

The song he was going to sing for Taks was "See You Again".

"It's been a long day~without you my friend~."

"When I reunite with you, I will open my heart and confide everything~"

"Looking back, we have walked a long journey hand in hand~"

"When I reunite with you, I will open my heart and confide everything~"

"when I see you again~"

Magnetic singing resounded from the cemetery, the coffin of Taks slid into the cemetery under the gaze of tens of thousands of Bod'ans, and the quiet bass was ethereal and beautiful, causing thousands to weep.

They wept not entirely for the Takers, but for the lost dwelling, for the wealth that had been taken away from them, for their dead loved ones and for the Baldur's Gate, which was no longer in its old glory, and that it would take a long time for Baldur's Gate to regain its former prosperity after such a catastrophe.

Singing and singing, chorus from one side of the crowd to the other.

Aaron himself was moved by his own feelings, he looked up at the distant sky, remembering his friends, his loved ones, his peaceful life, and ...... The man.

Boss, I miss you.

Aaron's performance was an unimaginable success, with a tsunami of cheers and tears of joy flowing down countless faces at the end of the song.

Even Nestia, disguised as Lady Julia, cried, she was certainly not crying for Tuckers, but for her past, and she had experienced too much during this trip to Bode.

And Bouille, Eleanor, Charlotte, each of whom has been through a lot during Bode's trip, and even the maid Kyoka can't hold back her tears - she is crying over her uncertain fate.

Only Egil was smiling all the time - what was there to be sad about?

Music is the most primitive language of human beings, and with the song "See You Again", Aaron touched the heartstrings of tens of thousands of people, and thus firmly bound the image of Takshi with this song and the death of the people.

In this way, Aaron mixed a lot of things into the kingdom worship of Bilak.

The path of the primordial demon prince who wanted to become a hero god was sealed by Aaron at once, and not only that, when everyone thinks of the Tak world, they will automatically think of this song, they will automatically think of Aaron, and the power of faith and reverence will be divided by Aaron in half.

As soon as the song ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and Aaron calmly accepted everyone's congratulations.

Coming down from the marble platform, a mage stood in front of Aaron.

"Very good song, bring me back to life, love from the Chief Council of Serre."

The visitor took off his hood, his face was ruddy on his high cheekbones, and under his long white hair, his black eyes were full of smiles: "Hello, Your Excellency Aaron Salian, when will the next Salian Grand Celebration be held?" ”

"I can't wait to see the seventh book of Salian and the rest of the story of the 'Lord of Mankind'."

Aaron recognized the "acquaintance".

Ser Red Robe Chief - Sazastan!
