"Burn Castle, I've been there, there's no need to rush, if you want to go there to have fun, don't take me with you, I can't stand those crazy people!" Kogan heard on the ship that Solam was going to the castle to have a look, and immediately shook his head off, this thing was a rough man, which did not match the polite temperament of the castle at all, and more importantly, he had been to the castle once, and he had never been there again.

According to him, the castle is probably the most boring place in the world. It's not big, there's not much entertainment, and the only place you can relax is a bar. One city, only one bar, can you believe it? What's more, the bars there offer a limited number of drinks, and each person can only consume three drinks! It's still beer, and if you want to drink spirits, the glass is even smaller.

And the reason why this is the case is only because those intellectual sages in the castle are afraid that someone will get drunk and make trouble, which will lead to the destruction of precious books......

Of course, there are no casinos, no meat establishments, no gladiatorial fights, not even louder noises! In Kogan's opinion, it's hell anyway!

There is a saying in the Burning Castle, which can very well represent the style of the Burning Castle, that is, "Anyone who destroys knowledge, whether he uses ink, fire, or sword, will bring about his own destruction." Here, books are more important than human life. "This is the absolute law of the Bunker.

Knowledge and books are the most important thing here, and anyone who dares to break this rule will be mercilessly judged by the Guardians of the Castle.

The supreme power of the castle is held by the Keeper of the Tomes, whose assistant is the First Reader, who is traditionally the most knowledgeable sage in the Abbey of Candleskeep. The Candle Castle is also a huge monastery, and the people in the monastery are monks who are hungry for knowledge and willing to sacrifice their lives to protect it, and most of them are priests from the Church of Ogmar, the God of Knowledge.

Ogmar, the god of knowledge on the continent of Faeron. He was always cheerful, full of intelligence, and had a gift for convincing others to agree with him. He always combs through complex plans in his head before putting them into action. He is involved in judging every new idea, deciding whether it should remain in the mind of the maker and thus appear in the world.

This deity is also one of the oldest deities in all of Toriel, and his antiquity even surpasses Torrell itself. As early as the creation of the world by Suren the Moon Lady and Shar the Night Lady, and the birth of Zentia, the goddess of the earth, Ogmar came to the newborn Torreel. Attention, is to come into this world. Ogmar was not a native deity of Torreel, he had come here from other faraway lands.

When he arrived, he found that this nascent world was chaotic, and many basic concepts were still changing and forming.

These ever-changing concepts were in desperate need of settlement and fixation, so Ogma defined and named each of them for a long time, and the name he gave produced the power to fix all the previously unpredictable concepts of transformation, thus forming a materialized natural world.

It is for this reason that Ogmar is also called the Namer, the Restraint of All Things, and the King of Knowledge. And he is also one of the most powerful gods in the world, but he rarely takes the initiative to participate in the disputes of the gods on the mainland.

In Ferron, when a child is born, people pray to Ogma and take down their name to signify that the child belongs to this world.

The church in Ogmar was responsible for collecting and distributing books, scrolls, knowledge, and anecdotes. The church accepts people from any camp to join as long as they are interested in spreading knowledge. Priests of any faction can serve Ogmar.

And Candle Castle is one of the most important places in the continent, so there are many priests who believe in Ogma who will do penance and study in Candle Castle in the name of knowledge monks, and also to protect this city of knowledge. These monks, they call themselves Evowed.

Under the command of the Guardians of the Scroll and the Abbey of Knowledge, there are up to eight Great Readers. Their assistants are the Chanter, who leads the constant chanting of hymns in praise of Arlando's prophecy, the Guide (who teaches the prophecy), and the Gatewarden.

Most of these Candle Castle guardians are professionals, and they are all professionals on the spellcasting side, so don't underestimate their power.

It is also because of the existence of these guardians, so don't look at the Candle Castle is not big, but its guard power is very strong, and even many spellcasters are only younger brothers in front of the Candle Castle Guardians, after all, in Faerun, knowledge is valuable and very precious, if there is not enough power to guard, the Candle Castle would have been burned down long ago.

Because of this, the rules of Candlecastle are extremely harsh and strict, and no one is allowed to break them.

The city is surrounded by powerful multiple protection spells to guarantee that nothing can be burned except for wicks and wax oil. No piece of paper can be burned in this castle. This protection also blocks teleportation and destructive spells, kills any fungi and bugs, and has some other secret properties. Another protective effect is to prohibit anyone who is not wearing a special marker from entering the Inner Room, with very few exceptions. In the inner rooms are the most powerful scrolls of magic. Usually only large readers will be able to enter, but others will be able to enter if they have the approval of the Guardian of the Volume.

……

Soram is also a spellcaster, so he was interested in Candlestick a long time ago, but at that time, Soram had been running around outside, and even a little involuntarily, so naturally he didn't have time to go to Candlestick to see the style of this city of knowledge, and now hearing Kogan's description, Soram is even more interested.

Although listening to Kogan, Candle Castle is indeed boring and has no entertainment facilities, but it doesn't matter, anyway, it won't be long, and Soram feels that he should be able to carry it. This is because no visitor can stay in the Candlestick for ten days at a time, and they cannot re-enter it for a month after leaving.

Solam wasn't going to enter continuously, anyway, it was just for fun, and one time was enough. As for transcribing books, Solam had no need for that. By the way, the Candle Castle is also just right, so here, if you want to transcribe a book, you have to spend money, and you can't copy the book yourself in the library, you can only pay a monk to copy it.

The cost of these monks to transcribe books was 100 gold coins for a copy, and there was no counteroffer. At the same time, the library has to pay for transcribing the books, which starts at about 100 gold coins per book, and the price is finally determined according to the rarity and value of the book. The copy of the spell book or the introduction of spells, spell formulas, or including spell rituals, spell protection and mantras, and similar content of the document, each of which starts at 10,000 gold coins, the specific price is the same as before, and the final price is determined by the value of the specific copied book, in short, it is very dark.

But there is no way, in terms of the poor popularity of mainland books, Candle Castle is basically a monopoly industry in this regard, do you like to copy or not!
