Iffia blinked, "You know a lot, but I've also read about this history, and the Ghost City and Mistrano are ruined, hey...... It's a pity, it is said that someone found something left over from that battle decades ago, but there is no record of it, probably just gossip among adventurers. ”

Shepard smiled and said, "The goddess of the night, the goddess of magic, the god of knowledge...... The inside story of that battle is still shocking to this day. ”

Iffia grabbed the shoulder of her clothes and said indifferently: "Anyway, the goddess of the night has become much more low-key since then, and in the last hundred years, there have been fewer miracles, and many people think that the goddess of the night may have been severely injured by the god of knowledge." ”

Shepard shrugged and didn't answer, he pointed to the top of the underground prison: "Although this place is forgotten, in fact, if you go from here to the end, push open the three trapdoors, you can enter the interior of the Candle Castle, which is a corner of the Candle Castle Garden, where no one will find it, and whether you want to learn from the Candle Castle or get food, as long as you are careful, nothing should happen." ”

Ifia was curious: "Your Excellency, thank you very much, not only did you allow me to hide in your town when I needed it most, but you also promised me to help me find a suitable hiding place...... But may I ask you a small question, why are you so familiar with Candlekeep? Have you ever been? ”

Shepard said lightly: "You have paid for your money and knowledge, ma'am, and I have always been a person of principle and good business qualities, and this matter is just a gesture to me, if you have not studied the skills of combining and assembling teleportation arrays from the knowledge left by the Magic Empire, it is not so easy to avoid the eyes of those who are looking for you to come here, speaking of my knowledge of Candlekeep, I am more curious about your identity." ”

Ifia said calmly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Earl, I have said since the day we reached an agreement, I can't tell you my identity yet, but when I break through the epic barrier, maybe I can tell you!" ”

Shepard laughed and said, "When you break through the epic, the hole card on your body can be used, right?" I think that's where your confidence lies. ”

Ifia's face turned white, cheerful and generous like her, and she couldn't help but be a little flustered when she was suddenly pointed out to her last dependence, and smiled reluctantly: "Your Excellency, you ...... it"

Shepard waved his hand: "Iffia, please allow me to call you by your name directly, since I helped you come here, you should believe that I have no malicious intent, otherwise I would have known that you have more than one thing on you that can be called a hole card, why block those three groups of killers for you, and let my knights destroy the corpses?" If I come forward when they and you are both defeated, won't I be able to take it all in size? ”

Ifia took a few deep breaths, remembering that the man in front of her led his men to sneak up on those bastards, killing all the damned guys who were chasing her and cornered, she shouted loudly in her heart, trying to calm herself down: "Yes, Your Excellency the Earl, you are right......"

"You can call me Shepard," Shepard interrupted the female mage absentmindedly: "I have a lot of confidence in your breakthrough epic, an epic mage, you can see the king and look at me equally, and it is nothing for you to call me by my name directly, because you will definitely have this qualification in the future." ”

Ifia stood quietly for a moment before nodding slightly, "No matter what, I won't forget your help, Earl...... Shepard. ”

"Although it is not easy to find a mage, it is not difficult to find a nobleman," Shepard looked at the female mage with a smile, "After you break through, you can naturally decide where to go, if you want to find me, just go to my territory, even if I am not there, you can leave a message to let me know." ”

Iffia nodded, took a deep breath after a while, and suddenly smiled like a flower: "Well, maybe, I will decide to build a mage tower in your territory at that time!" ”

"Huh?" Shepard was stunned, looking at the female mage's shining eyes, he said cheerfully, "Extremely welcome! I'm willing to bear half of the cost for you then! ”

Ifia's heart jumped, the cost of building a mage tower has always been astronomical, such a huge expense can bankrupt an archduke, the establishment of any mage tower, except for some special exceptions, echoes the mage's cry, Shepard's promise is he not understanding this, or does he know but don't care?

The female mage stared at the eyes of the human earl in front of her, but there was only calmness and calmness in it, Shepard's face was as usual, without the slightest hesitation or doubt, obviously not a rough and arrogant person who could not speak, the kind of confidence and strength that flowed from her eyes made the woman feel as if she knew this man for the first time.

Her heart trembled, and she suddenly didn't dare to look at Shepard again, just turned her head away, pretended to be calm, and said, "Well, okay, then...... Then I'll ask you for money! ”

She blurted out the last sentence, and immediately blushed with shame when she reacted, Shepard was stunned, then laughed, laughed for a while before stopping, and remembered something again: "By the way, if you have any trouble in Candle Keep......"

He paused, and then continued: "If you run into any trouble, go to the tower to the northeast and find an old lady who lives in a room on the third floor facing the mainland, and she is accompanied by a blue-gray cat of hers, whose name is Thomas, but don't mention it." ”

"When you go there, you say to her, 'Greetings to Kurgal, Ranger, do you remember the starry sky of the Dragon's Well?' Then tell her about your troubles, and even if she can't solve it, she can keep you okay. ”

Ifia was stunned: "Kurgal? Thomas? The name seems familiar......"

Shepard interrupted, "Aren't you curious how I know so much about Candle Castle?" I knew a sage from Candlecastle when I was traveling, and he told me everything, all right, I should leave, and then you will be here alone. ”

Ifia nodded, and saw Shepard turn away in a dashing manner, first rounding the reflective spot he had noted earlier, and then heading straight for the exit, disappearing into the long dark passageway.

Under the gentle and bright light source, Ifia was still thinking hard, and after a long time, she suddenly slapped her slender and tight thighs and said to herself, "Kurgal? The missing master of the Arcane Brotherhood? Thomas and the Ranger? I seem to have heard ......"

……

The storm subsided, and although the sea was not calm, it was enough for the boat to leave the dock and resume its journey.

Shepard leaned against the flagpole and looked at the Candle Keep in the distance, hundreds of years after the barrier disappeared, the Candle Keep had not regained its huge armor, but this did not detract from the momentum of the Candle Keep, but with one of the Guardians, two Electors, the seat of the Elect, this place with the power of three legends was even more unstable.

His brow furrowed slightly, his expression was very relaxed, and he just played with a gold coin in his hand, which was extremely delicate, but the workmanship and luster were full of ancient traces.

[A thief's lucky coin, a rare and strange object, this old Magic Empire gold coin is said to be a special trophy of a legendary thief - he stole it from the money bag of the goddess of luck, the goddess of magnanimity not only did not blame him for this, but gave him blessings, from now on, this gold coin is the dream of any thief - it can make you lucky favor, steal without being caught, unlock without fail, trigger the trap and not be killed, just a line of small letters engraved on the edge of the gold coin,' Remember: Luck and bad luck are sisters']

Not only has the long time buried everything in the dungeon in the corners of history, but also the things that have witnessed history have not been left much, this strange gold coin is an unexpected bonus, and other than that, only a comb has some value, and the rest is nothing more than broken crystals, rusted copper mirrors and the like.

[Dragon horn comb, strange thing, only the horn of a dragon can withstand the washing of time, but using dragon horns to make a comb, the maker is indeed very thoughtful...... The grip of the comb is engraved with a line of small letters, 'Love you, not just because of your beauty']

I've never seen this comb in my previous life, but if it's still in the game, I'm afraid that the introduction of such an item can trigger a wave of discussion, causing countless crazy men and women to pour water in the forum until dawn, and it may also be related to one, two, three, four, or five serial tasks......

Unfortunately, this is not a game world, and for a true god, he will be happy to participate in everything he encounters with his heart, and experience the surprises brought by these accidents anytime and anywhere, but he will not be willing to spend too much time on a small matter that has no clue and does not see how much return there is.

"My lord, the next stop is Baldur's Gate."

Baron Krell Garter asked Shepard for instructions, and the Garter family often produced noble merchants who were good at business, and Krell followed Shepard as the head of the family, and was also responsible for the purchase and sale of merchant ships along the way, as well as the collection of trade information on this sea route.

The coastline was far away, but the bustling city was still far away, and even the clone of the true god couldn't see it, Shepard nodded slightly: "We're not long away from Candlekeep, it will take a long time to get there, right?" The thought of seeing one of the most prosperous cities in the Sea of Swords makes me inexplicably excited. ”

Krell smiled slightly, "My lord, haven't you been to Baldur's Gate?" ”

Shepard shook his head, he had certainly been there, but not in this world: "I haven't been, but I've heard a lot of stories about it, such as the sculpture, the former killing incarnation, the majestic temples...... Oh! And that world-famous gate! ”
