Crown of Chaos

In early October of the year 1360 in the valley calendar, in the Kingdom of Cormyr, on the bank of Long Lake, in the Dark Light Village.

This is a small fishing village. The low houses, dilapidated streets, and humid environment all illustrate the poverty here. The men here go out to fish early every morning, nine times a year. They have to work at sea for months, while the women are responsible for washing, cooking, drying goods, tailoring and repairing, and raising children.

This is a typical small fishing village. It is so typical that any lord or noble would always stay far away from the lowly people here except when they collect taxes every year. It is so typical that even the second largest city in the kingdom, Masanbai, is only in the 20s and 30s. Kilometers away, its prosperity cannot benefit even a little bit of this place.

On the contrary, any young person with the slightest ambition in the fishing village packed up their bags and left the fishing village. Most of the people who stayed in the fishing village were adult men over 28 years old, who were also the main component of the fishermen.

They all have one thing in common: bad throat, frequent coughs and phlegm, poor joints, and almost everyone has joint pain on rainy days. Their skin is always dark and red, and there are always varying degrees of chappedness.

If there is any building worth seeing in the fishing village, it is the Temple of the Sea Goddess in the village.

However, during this period, frequent disappearances and news of sightings of terrifying creatures on the beach have made the villagers of Dark Light Town very frightened. They have recently reduced the number of fishing trips to the sea. A small number of fishermen who insisted on fishing at sea looked dull when they came back. They all have a very strong fishy smell that cannot be washed away no matter how hard they are washed.

In this tense environment, at noon, a purple dragon knight came to the fishing village.

This Purple Dragon Knight was wearing beautiful armor and a white robe. Judging from his appearance, he was very elegant. With his brilliant blond hair and gorgeous Purple Dragon emblem, he attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

He took an attendant and a traveling horse and strode into the only tavern in the village. His attitude was extremely arrogant. Facing the waiter who came up, he pushed the waiter away, threw off the hem of his robe, and walked out. He took out two golden lion coins and threw them directly at the hotel owner.

I want a salmon, the biggest one, the freshest one! the visitor said arrogantly: Hurry up!

Okay, Your Excellency. The tavern owner immediately took the golden lion coin, bit it with his teeth, and smiled immediately: I will arrange it right away. Do you want it smoked? Or roasted? Make soup?

No! The visitor opened one leg and said carelessly: I want to eat it raw!

Ah? The tavern owner was stunned. Eat it raw?

Your Excellency, eating raw fish will cause stomach upset and worms...

Where did all the nonsense come from? Just say it or not, right? The visitor was still so arrogant.

The tavern owner thought that this was probably a noble knight who had never seen the market before and came to experience life. Anyway, he had already paid the money, so there was no need for the owner not to accept this lucrative business.

So the boss immediately sent someone to get the fish, and after spending some time, a huge salmon of nearly 30 pounds was put on the table. It was even jumping around, which really fulfilled the customer's request, that is, it was fresh enough.

The knight was obviously very satisfied with the boss's arrangement. At the same time, a large group of villagers gathered inside and outside the tavern.

For the villagers, their lives are very boring, day after day, year after year. The villagers who are extremely lacking in spiritual life are interested in anything new, not to mention the various strange things that have happened in the village recently.

It was already afternoon, and the villagers were watching the noble knight, wanting to see him perform Eating Big Fish Raw, and a man wearing a hood and a hood also came to the tavern on time. .

As soon as he saw so many people, his eyebrows furrowed subconsciously. He immediately took two steps back and wanted to leave, but found that the knight had already seen him and greeted him with a smile. After a moment of hesitation, he gave up and left.

It seems like a paladin?

The hooded man pulled over the tavern owner: Who is this person? What's going on?

Maybe he's a noble knight nearby, right? He's such a rich man, sir. He wants to buy a big salmon and eat it raw... The tavern owner has been getting along with the hooded man for a month, and they are already familiar with each other: It's still the same as before. Is it the same, sir?

...Just like before, damn, I hate crowds. The hooded man cursed and wanted to leave, but felt that he had been noticed by the knight, so he had to find a corner and sit down: Hurry up.

Okay sir. The tavern owner was used to it. Without saying a word, he asked the chef to bring the lunch that had been prepared. At the same time, he also took out a bag with several sandwiches in it, ready to be packed for the hooded man. Walk.

The hooded man just sat in the corner of the tavern, watching with cold eyes the noble knight rubbing his hands and shaking his legs, preparing to enjoy his live fish dinner.

snort! Weak chicken! The hooded man secretly cursed, look at how stupid this noble knight is!

The elbows, steps, sitting posture, and the weapons on the waist were actually taken off and placed on the table!

Has this man really received training as a knight?

I'm afraid he's not a nobleman coming to experience life in the countryside, right?

If there was nothing wrong, he really wanted to chop off the knight's head, steal his things, and dedicate this murder to the great Holy Lord of the Black Sun!

This kind of young and stupid paladins are the most annoying. They like to release detection of good and evil everywhere. As long as they determine that you are evil, they can't wait to take action directly and bring all evil to justice. The key is that there are so many people at the scene. .

The hooded man cursed secretly and ate quickly.

But things soon changed.

When the noble knight took the long knife from the tavern owner amidst the cheers of the crowd, he plunged the blade into the belly of the salmon. When the salmon was struggling in pain, someone passed by.

It's a druid from the wilderness!

This druid had a ferocious face, and his eyes were full of contempt for mortals. When he saw the noble knight actually eating like this, he became furious, pushed away the crowd, rushed in, and pressed the noble knight's head on the table. superior.

Bastard! the Druid scolded: You, a disgrace among mankind, a demon of nature, a brother and friend of the devil in hell, a fanatic who tortures ladies, what kind of glorious knight are you? You actually torture creatures from the ocean like this. , you are simply the excrement of goblins, the saliva of gnolls, the maggots in the mouths of zombies, and the soul of a demi-lich is ten thousand times cleaner than this son of a bitch like you!

I will never allow you to do this. Now, apologize to this little creature from the ocean, quickly!

The furious druid pressed the knight's head and roared.

The surrounding villagers were so frightened by this scene that they all backed away.

It's a druid!

In the kingdom, druids are divided into many types, and a few druids are kind. For example, druids who believe in the Mother Goddess of the Earth advocate making good use of nature, developing nature, giving back to nature, and achieving harmony between man and nature.

Most druids are neutral. They believe in the balance of one body and believe that any creature must maintain balance, just like a flock. If humans hunt in small quantities, such druids will not care, but If humans hunt a large number of sheep, the druids will come with anger, but if the number of sheep multiplies too much, the druids themselves will not hesitate to kill some to maintain balance, otherwise the grassland will It will become a desert.

There are actually many druids in Cormyr. Many druids believe that excessive deforestation in Cormyr has seriously affected the balance of nature. They have protested many times and even went so far as to eliminate human logging teams, cultivate orc tribes, and awaken tree people. against humans.

There are also a very small number of druids who are extreme. How extreme are they?

There was once a group of extreme druids who believed that the existence of mortals itself was an extreme blasphemy to nature, so they planned to use a ritual to attract an asteroid to hit the country, completely purify the country, and return the country to the age of ice and snow.

Naturally, this group of extreme druids did not succeed.

Are you sick? What does it have to do with you if I eat fish? The knight struggled violently, and he was also furious: My lord, I think you are a guy full of sins! You virtuous people It’s up to me to pay back the numerous blood debts Rui committed in the forest today!”

After saying that, the noble knight immediately threw a Detect Good and Evil on the druid. As expected, a faint red light appeared on the druid. This showed that although he was not an evil extreme druid, he killed There are definitely a lot of people or creatures.

You are a handyman for a righteous idiot, an idiot among inferior humans, a fool who despises life, you will pay the price for this!

If the two of them disagree, they will start fighting!

The hooded man looked at this scene with a sneer, and he suddenly felt a little happy.

Paladins are annoying, druids are annoying.

He wished that all the paladins and druids in the world would die.

Now, seeing this scene of dog eating dog, the hooded man suddenly felt that this was such a happy thing!

Let's fight, fight, it's best to fight to the death.

I will dedicate this wonderful performance to the great Black Sun. My Lord will definitely like it!

The hooded man decided to enjoy the duel and held up his wine glass.

After hiding for so long, there is a pleasant thing, which is really happy.

A passionate idiot noble paladin and a radical environmentalist druid. Once the two sides started fighting, all the villagers ran out screaming, and even the tavern owner hid behind the bar.

Both sides were really rude. The paladin raised his hand and struck with a thunderous strike. The rumble of thunder was enough to shatter a person's eardrums!

Not to be outdone, the Druid raised his hand and released pieces of thorns, which fell from the air like raindrops!

The first time the two sides fought, the entire tavern was turned upside down.

Naturally, the battle also affected the hooded man. The power of the Thunder Slash and the patches of thorns made him subconsciously raise his hands.

But for some reason, just when he raised his hand, both parties seemed to notice him at the same time.

Despicable human! It turns out you have a helper!

Damn Druid, he must be yours!

The aristocratic paladin who believed in justice and was passionate about justice, and the extreme druid who had a fiery temper and was quick to take action were actually attacking the hooded man at the same time!

what happened? Why are you coming at me?

The hooded man was shocked. It was too late to prepare spells at this time, so he could only draw his weapon immediately and prepare to fight.

Before he could get into his stance, a flash of lightning fell to the ground, covering the hooded man in the lightning!

Tzeentch Lightning Bolt!

His whole body was hit by lightning, and the hooded man's body stiffened for a while.

How could the noble paladin and the fiery druid miss this opportunity?

Holy Slash!

Two wolves attack!

Two attacks rolled towards the hooded man in two directions!

Outside the door, looking at the fleeing villagers, the servant of the hot-blooded idiot noble paladin drew his extraordinary weapon with moonlight flowing on the surface of the blade, his expression indifferent.

Plans, plans, are all part of the plan.

The hunting time has begun!

The second update, it’s the climax of the first volume~
