After a few days of leisurely spending time in the Knowledge Islands, Soram set out for Candle Castle. This time, however, instead of taking their original large boat, Solam and the others needed to switch to a small boat for the inhabitants of the Knowledge Islands. Because Candlefort did not have a port for large ships.

As I said before, Candle Castle is actually not big, it is built on a small island, or peninsula, on one side of the cliff, on the other side is a not very spacious road connecting the Lion Road, there is no good deep-water port around it, and the big ship is easy to run aground there, so generally people who come to Candle Castle from the sea need to change to a small boat in the Knowledge Islands to a small port about five kilometers away from Candle Castle, and then reach Candle Castle by land.

Of course, Soram is no exception, so Soram can only leave Kogan and Harris, who are not very willing to see Candlekeep, in the Knowledge Islands, although there is a lot of culture, but there are still some entertainment facilities on the island that meet Kogan's appetite, after all, no matter how cultured, it is inevitable that people will have seven emotions and six desires.

This time, there were not many people who followed Soram to Candle Castle, only Trism, Loris, and Sianna, although Vahid and they followed Soram to the small port by boat, but they were not ready to enter Candle Castle, these guys were all gangsters, they were all semi-literate, they knew how to read, and the rest was difficult for them. So they decided to stay in the town outside Candlefort and wait for Solam while they got the news.

Solam and the three of them followed the Lion's Path to Candlekeep, which was technically built on a small island, with only a narrow road connecting it to the mainland. The huge city wall encloses the entire island, and there is actually an urn city on the city gate. This is a sanctuary of knowledge, where books are more valuable than people.

Arriving at the city gate, they handed over the four books they had prepared in advance to the gate guards of the Candle Castle, and after checking them, they confirmed that the books were worth more than 1,000 gold coins before they were allowed to enter. This kind of request is not difficult for Soram to do, Soram has a lot of books of higher value than this, and if he takes out a few books that are not important, he has already met the requirements for entering the city.

is different from what Soram imagined, the gate guard here is not the little guy he imagined, on the contrary, the gate guard who gave Solam and them a verification check is actually a fourteenth-level knight!

This kind of profession that can be a high-ranking military officer in other cities is actually just a janitor in Candlefort! Aside from the magical equipment they were equipped with, they were really no different from ordinary doormen. By the way, the magic equipment equipped by these guards looks like standard equipment, and everyone wears the same magic equipment, the same is a black short stick with strong magic fluctuations, and the other is a magic ring, Soram can see from the magic fluctuations on the ring, it is a magic equipment that strengthens the wearer's will, as for the magic short wand, Soram can't see it, the magic fluctuations on it are very obscure, but it should be roughly a magic equipment for attacking.

After entering the Candle Castle, Solam roughly walked around the famous Candle Castle, to be honest, it is really not big here, the size is the size of a medium-sized town, the outermost part of the Candle Castle is naturally the wall of the Candle Castle, the wall of the Candle Castle is very high and thick, and it is built against the edge of the cliff, which leads to a very large drop from the city wall to the sea level, the highest part of the cliff is about seventy or eighty meters from the sea level, plus the height of the city wall twenty meters, which leads to the distance from the city wall to the sea level is almost more than one hundred meters!

And the city wall at the main gate of the candle castle connecting to the mainland is even more exaggerated, and the bunker is well-defended. At least Soram felt that even if a dragon tried to break through the front of Candlekeep, it would have to be stripped of a layer of skin.

Behind the city wall is the living quarters of the Candle Castle, the living quarters of the Candle Castle are not large, but the environment is very good, like the garden, most of the civilians living there are ordinary people who work in the Candle Castle, among them, there are teachers, scribes, scholars, and staff who take care of all aspects of the Candle Castle.

At the same time, the visitor's residence, stables, barns, warehouses, hospitals, the temple of Ogma, and a shrine to Daniel, Gonde and Milil are also here.

Daniel: Lord of Words and Graphics, God of Literature and Language; Gunde: the god of craftsmanship and invention; Millil - the god of poetry, the god of eloquence, the god of singing. These three deities, along with Ogma, are known as the 'Gods of Knowledge and Invention', and the Lord of Knowledge has a more master-slave relationship with Daniel and Miliel, who are seen as his servants responsible for preserving and promoting knowledge. And Gunde, the god of craftsmanship, is very much appreciated by Ogma. He admired Gunde's enthusiasm and creativity. But Ogma was also unhappy with Gonde's unbridled ambition to promote craftsmanship, arguing that he placed too much emphasis on innovation and ignored the fact that innovation could only be carried out after knowledge had been accumulated

After the living quarters, there is another wall, which is called the Wall of Learning, on which are inscribed many names, all of which are famous scholars on the mainland, and below the names are engraved the achievements of that scholar. There is a saying circulating in the mainland that a scholar who does not leave his name on the wall of knowledge is not a real scholar. Of course, this is a bit of a generalization, but as long as the name of the scholar is inscribed on it, it must be a scholar who has made outstanding contributions to the academic world.

In short, this is an important cultural landscape of Candlefort. Many people come to Candlekeep to see this wall of knowledge. This means that there is no selfie tool on Feiren's side, otherwise many people will leave a large number of selfies here every year.

Behind the Wall of Knowledge is the heart of the Candle Castle, the Central Tower! A sanctuary for all books and knowledge, and a sacred place for countless thirsters for knowledge, the central tower is 100 meters high, and according to legend, this tower has a hundred floors, and the space inside it is much larger than it seems! It has always been shrouded in the power of Ogmar, and it is not so much a tower for books as a sanctuary for Ogma, and in Candlefort there are people who say that they have seen Ogmar's avatar wandering in the tower.

The central tower is surrounded by beautiful gardens in which the servants of Ogmar and the monks of the Monastery of Knowledge wander to discuss and argue.

Solam walked around, except for the central tower, Solam had visited all the other places, and it was getting dark after shopping, so they decided to find an inn to stay in first. After questioning the patrolling guards, he made his way to the Candle Castle Inn, located northwest of the fortress. It's a vulgar name, but it doesn't care so much.
