Chaos Crown

Chapter 151, the hero on the wall

That afternoon, under the kind invitation of Ms. Lauer, Aaron and Eleanor did not leave Ms. Lauer's manor, but stayed and attended Ms. Lauer's ball.

At the beginning, Aaron came to the stage to play "Salex's Palace" amidst the cheers of the crowd. His melodious singing voice, magnetic voice and no skill at all, all emotional playing blew up the atmosphere of the scene.

"Welcome to Salax's Palace~"

"What a lovely place (referring to the six rings of Slaanesh), and what a lovely face (referring to the face of Slaanesh's erotic demon)."

“There are so many guest rooms in Salax Palace~”

"All year round, no matter what time of day, you can find this place~"

Relying on the violin presented by Samir, Aaron maximized his power of Slaanesh. His charm technique overwhelmed the entire venue, and even the lowest-status servant couldn't help singing along with Aaron. Everyone on the dance floor Whether it's druids, mages, or even paladins, they all swayed like they were drugged.

Aaron is spreading Slaanesh Corruption, and so far, it's working pretty well.

After the song was over, Aaron left the dance floor secretly after dancing with Eleanor, and found a place to sit and rest.

"Army of the ancestors?" Aaron took the parchment scroll.

"You're right, so to you, I'm the same." Aaron nodded.

"Yes, it's a lot of expenses." Aaron nodded, he put one arm around Eleanor's waist, and kissed her on the lips: "You must be thinking, why Ms. Lauer has already left All the riches are spent to raise an army, so why spend so much money on this banquet?"

Aaron just laughed: "Okay honey~"

Regarding the fiefdom, he couldn't tell Ms. Lauer directly, because it was a private agreement between him and Alice Sale.

"It's not me." Aaron shook his head: "It's my father. My father has always had a wish. He wants to be a hero."

"So, in order to regain Arabel, apart from defeating the thousands of orc tribes under Tujin's command, more than 1 retinues composed of goblins, hobgoblins, half-orcs, gnolls, mountain giants, ogres, and kobolds Apart from the army, our most powerful enemy is the spirit of the orc ancestors summoned by Turkin."

"Let me ask you one last time, Viscount Salian, do you really want to join the Battle of Arabel?" The lady lord said concisely, staring at Aaron: "Alice Searle mentioned you to me."

"I saw a lot of statues in the royal library, my lord countess." Aaron changed the subject calmly: "And I heard that there is a special room named It is the Zilong Pavilion, which is used to display the portraits of the heroes of the kingdom for thousands of years."

"I'm serious. As far as your magical talent is concerned, as long as you are willing to go to Waterdeep City, you will definitely have the opportunity to become a masked lord in the future." Gail raised his glass: "Among warlocks, there is an arcane magician like you." Manipulative, this is the first time I’ve seen it.”

"Hmm! This orc khan is not only a super powerful shaman himself, he is also a favorer of the one-eyed orc lord god!"

After speaking, the lady Karina licked her lips, looking eager to swallow Aaron in one gulp.

For example, the aristocrats' favorite sport of fox hunting, everyone went to the country manor to hunt together in summer.

The Salian family, which was seized before, has become a disgrace to the nobility. Aaron's father, Manuel, does not have so much money to participate in social activities and maintain the dignity of the family. The influence of the Salian surname continues to decline. , No one took them to play in the aristocratic circle at the back.

"They gave me the biggest defeat of my life."

"Hello, Mr. Gale from Waterdeep City." Aaron showed a bright smile: "Of course, please sit down."

Ten minutes later, in the inner room of the manor, Ms. Raul, wearing a phoenix crown and Earl's costume, received Aaron and Eleanor in the room.

Adventures are risky and can kill!There is no risk in being ostentatious and decent, the most is debt!

"But they're playing with you again now?" Eleanor shook her calves, and the pastor asked curiously, "Didn't it mean that Salian has no influence anymore?"

The price of a fox hunting dog is as high as 400-700 gold lion coins, which is equivalent to the annual income of a relatively well-off middle-class family (based on the income of an excellent blacksmith).

"Okay! Very good!" Ms. Raul couldn't help laughing heartily, she clapped her hands vigorously, and her laughter was full of uninhibited joy: "I used to think that the old Salian family was finished! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, just like It's like the phoenix nirvana, the Salian family has finally produced such a character!"

"Your choice?" Ms. Raul smiled noncommittally, and did not continue: "There is always a reason for any choice, Salian, I was once an adventurer too!"

"I am a nobleman of Cormyr, Ms. Lauer. I don't need many reasons to fight for my country. I enjoy so much."

The young couple flirted with each other in the corner for a while, and finally someone found them.

"I and my army were defeated by the spirits of the ancestors summoned by Tujin! Those pure killing machines scattered my army and slaughtered my people."

Aaron knew that he was going to have something to do, but Ms. Lauer still had doubts about his motives for joining the Liberation Army.

If nothing else, let's just talk about this manor. Ms. Lauer needs twenty or thirty servants to maintain this manor, right?The lowest-level handyman needs at least 30 Golden Lion coins a year, and it usually takes 35-40 to find a qualified maid who can do most of the housework.

After all, Eleanor was watching from the side.

"So, I can take my talents to the West Coast?" Aaron laughed.

As soon as Aaron's words came out, Millman-Raul's last bit of doubt finally dissipated, and she nodded slowly: "What a big ambition, Aaron Salian, you want Manuel to rely on With the merits of giving birth to you, you will be selected into the portrait of the hero on the wall, Zilong Pavilion, do you know how far you want to go?"

The three chatted for a while, and Samir and Eleonora came: "Aaron, Eleanor, Gail, you are all here."

"Ms. Lauer is welcome."

For nobles, how to choose is not clear at a glance?
Who would want to go out and kill someone who can live a life of luxury at home?
"Hey, your aristocratic circle is really filthy!" Eleanor was speechless, and the lady pastor pinched Aaron's face: "In short, you can't become like that! I have an obligation to keep you away from those unclean and corrupt lives ~"

"And this, this is the orc great Khan Tujin's information, you also take it back and have a look." Ms. Lauer took out another long parchment roll, mentioned Tujin's name, Ms. Lauer almost Subconsciously covered the scar on his face: "I know you have done many feats before, but war is different from adventure, and if we want to defeat the orc tribe entrenched in Arabel, we must face Tujin and his army. Ancestral Army!"

"My entire battalion of 200 guards was slaughtered by them in order to cover my escape, and the heads were flayed and scraped."

The pastor immediately slapped his big hand away like an electric shock: "No! I don't want to be in this kind of place. Who knows how many people have been in this kind of room before?"

(Master-level dwarf artisan Fojar earns more than 1000 Golden Lion coins a year, and 2000-3000 is not a problem if the business is good.)
In fact, Eleanor is the pastor of Su Lun in Shenhai Town, and her annual expenses are only 60-100 gold lion coins. For the maid, in addition to the food and housing, he only pays the two maids a combined salary of 75 Golden Lion Coins a year, which has only recently risen to 80.

"If there is a chance, I will." Aaron did not answer directly.

Holding a glass of spirits in her hand, and wearing a black feather peacock diamond goblin high-necked see-through dress, Ms. Karina from the Harper Alliance swayed her body closer, ignoring Eleanor who was held by Aaron on her lap , with pink hearts shining in a pair of eyes: "Your Excellency Aaron Salian, may I have the honor to dance with you?"

How much will this cost?
Not to mention social expenses. In addition to the aforementioned fox hunting, Cormyr’s nobles held various social dinners, receptions, speeches, plays, etc., all of which were large expenses.

"I hope." Aaron smiled, and he shook his head again and again: "Father spent his whole life fighting to prevent the kingdom from being overthrown by evil. These?"

"You are the last blood of the Salian family, you have unlimited talents, you are the key training object of the royal family, and your strength is not bad... Salian, let me tell you the truth, I am not sure of victory in this war, Even so, do you still want to participate?" Ms. Raul sat behind her desk, and she took out a file bag from the drawer: "War is not a child's play, son of Manuel, I fought alongside your father, I hope not……"

"Because only in this way can we guarantee that there is still a chance to stand up."

"But..." Aaron said aggrievedly.

"I'm thinking, there should be room in Ms. Lauer's manor?" Aaron said meaningfully, while his big hand was quietly reaching up under Eleanor's skirt.

Naturally, Miss Pastor, as Aaron's female companion, kept a close eye on him throughout the whole process. Many people wanted to come up to dance with Aaron, but Aaron politely refused.

Fortunately, he still has a universal card.

Gail was sitting two seats away from Aaron. The mage first chatted a few unnutritive topics, and then asked immediately: "About your magic... I am very interested, and all my colleagues are interested. very interested."

During this time, Eleanor had already started to help Aaron with some family matters, and invitations to various New Year banquets came like snowflakes.

"Isn't that because your boyfriend has done a lot of things?" Aaron smiled and held Eleanor in his arms: "It's like this in the aristocratic circle. If you are very powerful and influential, then you don't need ostentation and Decent, if you lack strength and have no actual position in the court, then you need to maintain decency, even if you are heavily in debt, you need it even more."

"I can only bear this loss once, just once... so this time, either I cut off Tujin's head to comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers, or my head is hung on Tujin's totem pole."

"Ms. Raul is holding so many activities precisely because she needs everyone's support and needs more people to join." Aaron sighed: "For nobles, respectability is often the most important thing, even if you are poor. If you are down and out, even if the business is difficult, you must maintain your dignity, maintain your expenses, and maintain your ostentation."

"I'm tired of being called the son of Manuel, Ms. Raul, and I hope that later, when people look back on their father as a wall hero, they'll say, 'Oh, he's Aaron Salian's father. '!" Aaron's eyes were burning, and the young man showed his ambition without any concealment: "I want my father to become a member of the 'Heroes on the Wall', painted in the Zilong Pavilion, and history Manuel is mentioned in the book, and his greatest contribution is written, that is, he and Battle Mage Elizabeth gave birth to me, Aaron Salian!"

"I accept your joining, son of Manuel, take this, report to the army camp in Evening Star Town before February 2th, and prepare to fight for Cormyr." Ms. Raul took out a Roll the parchment and hand it to Aaron: "This is my warrant!"

That's right, the largest Sulun Temple in the country is located in Waterdeep City, and it is a great building known as the Mansion of the Moon.

"Let's start with the restoration of Arabel, my lady lord." Aaron did not give in. "What could be a more glorious cause than shedding blood for the country?"

Aaron didn't understand many things in his previous life, but only after he became a nobleman in this life did he know how the noble circle works.

It was only then that the lady of the Harpist Alliance realized Aaron's verbal trap. She glanced at Eleanor unwillingly, and saw that Miss Priest had no intention of getting up from Aaron's lap, so she left unwillingly.

"He owns a pair of legendary totem poles, which were condensed through witchcraft using the blood of his orc's biological parents."

"No!" Eleanor was firm: "I repeat, Aaron, at home, in our room, I can do whatever you want, but absolutely not outside, it's dirty!"

"Thank you." Aaron took the warrant and held it in his hand.

"This is a little selfishness of mine, Ms. Raul, and it does not conflict with fighting for the country."

Eleanor carefully covered her skirt with one hand so that no one would notice that Aaron's hands were stroking her legs in gray aurora silk, and Miss Priest looked at the eight or nine couples dancing on the grand dance floor. The men and women were singing and dancing, and seeing the poet laureate from the Harper League recite the song on the stage, he couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, isn't Ms. Raul going to attack Arabel? Then why is she holding a banquet here? ? The banquet cost a lot, right?"

Embracing the charming Miss Pastor, Aaron leaned on the back of the long chair, stretched his hands into Eleanor's skirt, felt the ultimate silky smoothness, tenderness and fullness, and did not speak.

"Please sit down, son of Manuel, the sunken flower of Our Lady of Silver." The furnishings in the room are relatively simple, mostly quaint old decorations. Ms. Raul saw Samir bring Aaron and Eleanor in , A smile appeared on his face.

"He can use this pair of totem poles to summon the spirits of the ancestors of the orcs to join the battlefield!"

Aaron sighed, Miss Pastor is a bit obsessed with cleanliness in this regard, and he respects Eleanor's ideas.

"If you have such an idea, then why not?" Gail turned his attention to Eleanor: "Waterdeep City even has the largest altar of the Virgin of Silver, the Mansion of the Moon."

What?You said that you did not participate in the event to save money?
Well, it turns out that you are the shame of the nobility in the legend!Don't even think about someone taking you to play.

In the kingdom, nobles maintain their decency, and they often have to maintain themselves until they go bankrupt!

"Therefore, we invite you to visit Waterdeep City at a time you think is appropriate. We look forward to seeing you show us your magic, and let us explore the mysteries of the magic web together and lead to the source of arcana."

"Oh, Your Excellency, your girlfriend is very good. I don't think she needs your company for such a long time. You spend a lot of time with her." Ms. Karina was a little disappointed when Aaron directly rejected her.

Therefore, the nickname "The Last Salian" given to Aaron by the aristocratic circle is not only regrettable, but also somewhat malicious.

However, some nobles spend as much as 4000-5000 Golden Lion Coins every year just for hunting dogs and horses raised for fox hunting!
How many Arabel refugees in the refugee camp could the money save?
That's why Aaron has little interest in donating.

"How do I know what's going on in your aristocratic circle?" Eleanor had already changed back to her previous dress and high heels at this time. Seeing that there was no one around, Miss Priest let Aaron take advantage of her. She said with some emotion : "You let me go back to a year ago, and think about it [-] times. I wouldn't think that my pastor would find a noble boyfriend."

"Yes, that's right." Ms. Raul nodded: "Only the real heroes of the kingdom can be painted by the painter and hung in the room to highlight their achievements. These people are called 'heroes on the wall'... Do you mean Do you want to become a 'hero on the wall'?"

He needs to dispel this doubt.

"I see what you mean, but it's my choice."

"Sorry ma'am, I would have liked to accept your invitation, but I want to accompany my girlfriend." Aaron smiled calmly.

After a while, Abi Gail, a mage from Waterdeep City, appeared, holding a wine glass in his hand: "Hello, Ms. Dinefur, Your Excellency Salian, can you forgive my trash talk during the duel? "

"You are really welcome." After Ms. Karina left, Eleanor snorted in a weird way, very cute: "Shall I avoid it first? Is one hour enough?"

"It's been a very tough battle, Aaron Salian, much harder than you think."

"This is also your last chance to quit."

"Don't rush to make a decision, first read the information I gave you."

"I'll wait for you at the camp in Evening Star until February 2th."
