Chaos Crown

Chapter 25, Unique Chaos Art
PS: Updated, watch the game, watch the game, rebuild the glory of EDG, it is my duty to recast EDG!
As the most typical royal country in the country, Cormyr has a very detailed aristocratic system, headed by the royal family of Obeszier, from top to bottom are king (queen), prince (prince and princess), duke, marquis, and earl , Viscount, Baron, Baronet, Knight.

As mentioned above, there are dependent titles in this system, that is, the prince is attached to the king, the marquis is attached to the duke, the viscount is attached to the earl, and the baronet is attached to the baron. The former is only an attached court title, and the latter is hereditary. noble.

But it is not absolute.

for example.

If a count owns an actual fief, he can only designate one person from among his children or relatives as the heir to the title of count, and the rest of his children born to the countess will automatically obtain the title of viscount, which is a subordinate title. cannot be inherited.

If the earl likes a non-heir son very much, then he may allocate a "fief" to him from his fief, then the viscount is a real nobleman, but he still belongs to the earl and the fief does not belong to the earl. It cannot be hereditary, and the earl has the right to take it back at any time after he dies.

If the earl doesn't like a non-heir son but does not intend to deprive him of his surname and drive him out of the house, then the most likely thing is to send the child to the church to become a priest. In this case, even if the son has the title of viscount, it means nothing No, he was just a church member.

This shows, at least in Cormyr, how powerful the real nobles are.

There are not many dukes in Cormyr. Among them, the dukes in the royal family are only honorary titles. There are only two real dukes, the Duke of Kayneth-Irelands in front of Lothair and the other Duke of Marelli.

The Duke of Kayneth, the veteran of the Kingdom of Cormyr, fought against Zambian mercenaries all the year round in Guangze in the east.

He only needs one command to pull out the duke's army consisting of 200 fully armored knights and 1200 heavy armored infantry from the territory!

With dark skin due to years of fighting, a head of thick black hair like a lion and a well-groomed beard, Duke Kayneth's amber eyes are always full of a powerful spiritual force, 30 Years of military career brought him a very strong self-confidence and unquestionable power. Although he was very polite to keep a smile in front of Lothair, the horse breeder who had never seen the world could feel that he was wrapped in this Under the layer of shell is a mighty and staunch soul.

When Duke Kayneth called him to get up, Lothar struggled on the ground a few times but failed to get up. The horse breeder only felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't use his strength, so he couldn't stand up.

"You've worked hard, you must be tired, right? This..." Duke Kayneth naturally discovered Lothair's predicament, and he naturally relieved the horse breeder, but he couldn't call out Lothair for a while. name.

The steward immediately whispered a few words into the Duke's ear, and Kayneth immediately said, "Mr. Lothar, would you like to have lunch with me?"

"Yes, yes!" Lothar could feel that although His Highness the Duke seemed to be inviting him, the words contained an undeniable meaning that he could not refuse, so he nodded and agreed, "It's a great honor."

Afterwards, things became much simpler. The horse breeder accepted His Royal Highness's kind invitation to dine at a high-end restaurant near the Royal Stables.

At the dining table, Lothair, who drank a few more glasses of high-end red wine, seemed to be a lot more relaxed. He ate the fat and tender roast swan while recounting what happened to Aaron.

Duke Kayneth listened carefully to all of Aaron's performances after returning home this time, and His Royal Highness became more interested in this little warlock who had awakened his charisma.

Kayneth naturally knew about the Salian family. Kayneth also knew about the level of this earl family. How embarrassing Aaron’s grandfather was in the Tucan invasion, why the duke who was robbed of the duke It was clear, Kayneth had also seen the level of Aaron's father Manuel.

When a knight reported to him that there was an awakened charismatic warlock, Kayneth, who happened to be in Suzar, was very interested. It turned out that the charismatic warlock was Aaron Salian when he came.

This little guy is really a genius, Kayneth thought to himself that Manuel was a complete mess in terms of political maneuvering, his son actually has this level, although the schemes he designed are a little immature, but they are far from what ordinary just grown-up noble knights would expect. can be compared.

Sallyan, such a character has emerged!

Thinking of Aaron being a native of Cormyr and the son of Manuel, Kayneth subconsciously felt very happy, but within a few minutes of being happy, he suddenly remembered a detail that he had forgotten.

"Wait, besides Kanter, who else did you tell this news to? The one after Kanter?"

"I also told Mr. Modern."

"Hey!" The Duke patted the table angrily, got up quickly, and signaled to a knight next to him: "Goodman, you have lunch with Mr. Lothar."

"Mr. Lothar, this is Goodman. He is an excellent knight and my friend. You can talk to him more, and you can talk to him if you need anything."

Kayneth hurriedly got up and led the people away.

"My lord, what's the matter?" the steward followed the Duke and asked, "Could it be that stupid horse breeder..."

"Damn it, Goddess Timora didn't take care of us this time. I originally wanted to block the news, and let our Irish family raise this little guy." Kayneth's face was not good, and the Duke's eyes narrowed slightly, like a male. Exuding the prestige of devouring people like a lion: "It's too late, the Queen's Blade must already be in the palace by this time, tell the news to our Royal Highness the Regent!"

"My lord, if this is the case, don't we..." The steward also realized the problem: "Our princess regent has always been very... Let her know about this matter, how could she let go? Aaron- Salian currently belongs directly to the royal family, and his salary is also paid by the royal family, we are too late."

"No!" Kayneth shook his hand domineeringly: "At least, I will enter the palace as soon as possible and report this news to our princess regent. Guy, in this way, even if Aaron gets the key training of the royal family in the future, he must remember my favor."

"Go, enter the palace now!"

"Yes!"

————I am the dividing line into the palace———

Outside because of the news that Aaron released, even Aaron did not expect that Lothar would meet a duke who came to interrogate him personally. The last Salian knew nothing about the outside world for the time being. He was in the library After having lunch nearby, I continued to read books related to warlocks.

"In every corner of the realm, every existence is imbued with the power of magic. Every stone, every stream, every living thing, even the air itself contains untapped potential energy. These native magic It is the raw material of creation, and it is also the silent consciousness of existence, which permeates every bit of matter, and exists in the form of various energies in the multiverse.”

"Primitive magic is wild, and it can hardly be directly used by mortals. The power of primitive magic is very likely to destroy the caster itself in an instant, so unless the caster is strong enough to touch the power of the 'inside' ( extremely rare), otherwise, if you want to cast spells, you can only use the 'magic net'."

"The 'Magic Web' is considered to be a magical weaving structure as a bridge connecting the caster's consciousness and the original magic raw material, and its origin is 'Mystra', the goddess of magic."

"In most cases, spellcasters can only cast spells by relying on the magic net. Whether it is arcane magic (spell) or divine magic (divine spell), without the magic net, the caster is no different from ordinary people."

Aaron frowned.

Can't cast spells without magic net?But why did the web articles he read mentioned that there are great arcanists who can cast spells without the magic net?

Also, what is the "inside" power?

law?cause and effect?The root cause?The door of truth?Little man in a bottle?Brain in a vat?The indescribable ultimate chaos in the depths of the stars?
The book doesn't say that.

Aaron also thinks that if this can be easily understood in the royal library in Suzar, then it is impossible for only a few people to be able to cast spells without the magic net.

Without reading the chapters described in the book, such as "Mage", "Druid", "Priest", "Paladin", and "Ranger", Aaron directly turned to the chapter on Warlock.

"Warlocks are the arcane opposite of mages. Using spell materials, even weak magical energy, warlocks can release powerful explosive energy through their bodies. They do not obtain magical energy through rigorous study and research, but through A magical gift in the blood waiting to be awakened. If a wizard wields his spells like a warrior wields a sword, then a sorcerer's magic is like a great ax in the hands of a barbarian."

Most of the spellcasting abilities of warlocks come from their own body blood, and the energy of magic surges and roars in their bodies.

There are four main sources of power for Warlocks:

Dragon Bloodline: The most common and well-known source of sorcerers, stems from the magic of the Dragon, whose essence is mixed in your blood or the bloodline passed down from your ancestors.A sorcerer of this origin can often trace his bloodline to a powerful sorcerer who made a pact with a dragon in ancient times, or even to a dragon's blood relatives.

The dragon vein warlock is the most common and well-known warlock in the country, born tall, rich and handsome.

Wild Magic: From the wild power of Chaos in opposition to the Order of Creation.

Wild warlocks are all masters of movement, their power is violent and disorderly, and they often cannot control their own power, and some wild warlocks simply let their power do things casually, so they are always easy to Kill and hurt yourself, but sometimes it can work wonders or even save the entire battle.

Wild warlocks are also well-known in the country. They are not tall, rich and handsome. Their whole work may kill themselves directly, but they may also take away the enemy in waves. They are born to be kings of life.

Storm Warlock: Power comes from unrestrained natural forces, such as thunderstorms, storms, seaspouts and other primitive magical powers.

Cosmic Warlock: Also known as Fortune Warlock, an extremely rare type of Warlock. This kind of Warlock integrates the original law of the universe and the law of the rotation of the sun, moon, and stars into his blood, and all changes can be found from it. The corresponding law relationship, They are born with a deep affinity with the laws of the universe, and can easily control magic with the power of the laws.

In addition to these four kinds of warlocks, the book also mentions a kind of existence called "spiritual warlocks", that is, some warlocks have divine sparks or the blood of gods and celestial creatures on their bodies, and they can use this as a basis to release magic or magic. It is magic.

Aaron closed the book.

What is he?What kind of warlock is he?
His power comes from the four gods of chaos, corresponding to the chaos and disorder that is opposite to the order of the universe, so according to this classification, he should be a wild spell.

But according to the power of the four gods of chaos, he should be a cosmologist.

Also, if you look at the power bestowed by the gods, it is reasonable to say that Aaron is a soul warlock.

Hmph, I am nothing, I am the son of Chaos, and even if I am, I am a unique Chaos technique!

Finally, Aaron skimmed the book a little bit, and turned back to the first page to see who the author was.

I saw that the author's signature was "Ms. Ereshkigal".

I seem to have heard of this name somewhere. Aaron only thinks that this name has a strong sense of sight, but he can't remember who it is for a while.

Looking out the window, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Aaron did two things next. First, he spent two silver coins seeking a test from the library to test his professional level.

The library tester concluded after testing him that, according to the current level of professionals,
According to the current national professional standard conversion, Aaron is an apprentice-level chaos warlock/warrior.

Afterwards, Aaron summarized the list of spells he can master now.

Cantrip that costs nothing: Charm Human.

1st Ring of Magic: Tzeentch Blue Flame, Tzeentch Powder Flame, Whip of Slaanesh, Dream of Slaanesh, Chaos Missile.

2nd Ring Magic: Tongue of Slaanesh.

Special bloodline magic: Create Chaos Egg, gift from Slaanesh.

Among them, the tongue of Slaanesh, the second-level magic, has clearly appeared in Aaron's mind, but with his current level of sorcerer, he can't release this magic at present.

After summarizing, Aaron knew where his problem was, and he immediately borrowed a copy of "Encyclopedia of Spells" from the library.

Compared to other spellcasters, he has only one "charm human" trick.

Tricks are simple, small spells that can be cast at will without consuming any magic power and memory. These 0-level spells are the most commonly used spells by low-level spellcasters in battle, and can be understood as ordinary attacks by spellcasters.

But Aaron didn't master any tricks except Charm Man, which was mutated into a trick by the power of Slaanesh.

This is a very strange thing for a warlock, which means that Aaron is not a qualified spellcaster at all.

However, something unexpected happened.

When Aaron randomly picked a small trick from the "Encyclopedia of Spells" and tried to chant a spell, the surging violent magic inside his body ran rampant in his body uncontrollably, and he felt a pain in his abdomen and chest before he finished chanting the spell. Feeling a strong pain, Lord Viscount had a ferocious expression, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted from his throat.

"Woo!" The dark red blood splashed on the ground, and Aaron's performance shocked the apprentice Battle Mage next to him.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Aaron's handsome face was wrinkled, and he took out a towel and wiped his mouth randomly a few times.

idiot!Aaron scolded himself like this: Dare to do nonsense if you don't understand anything!Are you going to kill yourself to be willing?
Sure enough, I still need a warlock mentor. My own strength is special, and I may kill myself if I fumble around.

Aaron didn't dare to try again, he left the bloody towel on the ground, and said to the apprentice Battle Mage, "What's the matter?"

If it's okay, it's impossible for the Battle Mage apprentice to come in and disturb him.

"Someone is looking for you, Your Excellency the Viscount." The Battle Mage Apprentice glanced out.

A Queen's Blade was standing at the door of the training room.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, His Highness the Regent ordered that Viscount Salian be invited to meet in the Throne Hall at nine o'clock in the morning two days later."

"Understood." Aaron nodded calmly to show that he understood.

Queen's Blade left, and Aaron also realized that it was getting late, so he packed up his things and left the library directly.

Time to go home.

From the Royal Library to the Salian House in the Three Crowns neighborhood, you have to go through a long alley. For some reason, when Aaron passed by today, there was no one here.

In the darkness, a figure in a cloak appeared silently, slowly approaching from behind along the corner of the wall.

A steel dagger slid out from under the cloak.

Time to kill!
