Chapter 61: The Thief and the Candle Castle (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Axter they didn't know what was happening behind them, as soon as they walked out of the temple, everyone hurried to the Brilliant Tavern, but unlike the previous doors, this time the Brilliant Hotel can be said to be overcrowded, the seats on the hall are full, many of them are soldiers of the Yanquan Mercenary Regiment, and the first thing they thought of was food and beautiful women, they made a loud noise, took a wine glass and poured it into their mouths, and when they saw the young and beautiful maids passing by, they would find a way to rub oil on each other's bodiesOccasionally, a few rich mercenaries could be seen whispering to the waitress with their ears attached, and then the two of them hugged each other and went to the second floor of the tavern. Yes, don't think that the Brilliant Tavern is a regular tavern, it can be said that all taverns on the continent of Faeron will provide special services, and Axter was molested by a stunner with a devil's body when he first came in.

"Bring us a beef stew with potatoes, two servings of roast chicken, two servings of mushroom soup, two plates of vegetable salad, a bottle of rum and white bread for 4 people, send us to room 523, thank you!" Axter couldn't find an empty spot after turning around, and even a few ladies in the team couldn't stand the noisy environment, so he had to put his hands to his mouth and shout at the bartender with the best voice he could, but even then Axter's voice was quickly drowned out in the hustle and bustle of cheers. Fortunately, the bartender's hearing was very unpleasant, and he actually heard Axter's words accurately in this environment, he made an OK gesture to Axter, turned around and ran to the kitchen to order.

"Let's go, it's a disaster here." Axter helplessly spread his hands to the others, and immediately walked towards the magic circle used to teleport to the rest room, but at this time, suddenly a young man in patched clothes walked towards Axter, he seemed to be drunk, and stumbled against Axter.

"I'm sorry." The boy whispered, and wanted to leave quickly with his head down, but he didn't succeed, Axter grabbed the other party's right wrist like lightning, and pulled the boy's wrist back, and the boy screamed in pain and was pressed to the ground, and the thing in his hand was the wooden box that Chasim gave him.

.......... noisy hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and when they saw the situation clearly, another louder noise erupted.

"Damn thief, how dare you steal in Uptown!" "Break his arm and let him know what will happen to being a thief!" "The untouchables in the port area are really looking for death!"

Most of the members of the Yanquan mercenary group around them shouted loudly with their necks pulled their necks and blushed, they were usually responsible for the security of Shangcheng District, which was equivalent to the identity of a policeman, and now there was a thief under their noses who had been caught stealing something, how could they bear it, and in addition, these people had drunk too much, and some even clamored to cut off the thief's finger directly to teach him a lesson.

"I'm sorry for the guest, but you didn't lose anything." Soon, a few people who looked like thugs came to Axter's side and asked, every tavern hotel has some people who are responsible for maintaining the security of the lobby, as the most upscale brilliant hotel in Baldur's Gate, Axter even saw that those thugs have a high professional level. They looked at Axter very flustered, as a high-end clubhouse, they actually cared very much about their reputation, and no thieves and robbers dared to come to the Brilliant Tavern on weekdays to make trouble, so they were also negligent, which led to this kind of thing. This is also because of the triumphant return of the army today, and the council of Baldur's Gate made a show in order to build momentum, which led to a large influx of civilians in the port area into the upper city, otherwise these people would not be seen in the upper city at all, let alone in the Brilliant Tavern.

"Didn't lose anything. What are you going to do with him? Axter took the wooden box back, then threw the thief to the bartender and asked casually.

"We're going to break one of his arms and throw it off in the port area, what do you think, guest? If you're not satisfied, we'll compensate you with 50 gold coins. When the thug heard Axter's inquiry, he immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, he knew that anyone who could stay and dine in the Brilliant Tavern was either a big merchant or a figure with a face in the city, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear of dissatisfying Axter, the owner.

"What, break your arm, it's too cruel." When Doris heard what the young man was going to face next, she couldn't help but feel compassion, she shook Axter's arm and pleaded, "He's still a teenager, and we've got our stuff back, forget it." ”

Axter frowned and looked at the teenager, his clothes were patched, and it seemed that his usual life was very poor, and he knew what the teenager with the broken arm would face next, the teenager who lost his arm must not have the spare money to go to the doctor for treatment, and in the port area, the crippled people will end up very miserable, they will either die of starvation, or they will be sold as slaves by others, or they will be killed and sold to those people in the black realm [thieves' guilds, necromancers, vampires, etc.].

"Why are you doing this?" Axter stopped the tavern thugs who were about to make a move, and instead lowered his head to look into the boy's eyes and said.

"My lord, I really can't help it, my parents all died after the gang battle in the port area, and there is a younger sister waiting for me to feed at home, she and I haven't eaten for 3 days, I really can't help but steal your things, if you are willing to let me go, even if I am a cow and a horse." The young man's eyes were no longer bright, but when he saw Axter talking to him, the young man said excitedly as if he had grasped the last straw.

"Let him go." Axter gave the boy another deep look, then dropped three gold coins from the space bag, "Find some work, don't work for your so-called gang, this money is enough for you to have a new start." ”

Maybe it's because everyone has a sister, Axter made excuses for his momentary kindness, maybe the boy was lying to himself, but his words made him think of Lavis, if it weren't for the inexplicable memory of his previous life, maybe he wouldn't have a system at all, and he wouldn't have great combat skills and rich experience, so at this time, he probably didn't disappear with Tuke Town, or just like this teenager, he had to do all kinds of things every day in order to survive.

"Thank you, my name, Lorul. Derek, I swear that in the future I will repay you for your kindness today! The young man was overjoyed, he originally only dared to ask Axter to let him go, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such money, Roruel looked at Axter excitedly, and promised Axter with a serious expression.

To this, Axter just waved his hand, where could he get the help of a beggar thief? Ignoring Rorul's assurances, he turned around and led the others back to the second floor of the tavern. The Yanquan mercenary group who were watching the play around also sat back in their seats with interest, they originally wanted to watch a good show, but they didn't expect the party to directly send a message to release the damn thief, so even if they were law enforcers, they couldn't say anything.

Returning to the room that Axter had rented a month earlier, since Axter had paid another month's rent the second time, his and Lavis' room had not been confiscated, and the sumptuous food was quickly brought up by the waitress, lying on the soft cushions, and everyone was lazing on the delicious food.

"What's next for us?" Ling drank the wine in her hand and slurred her mouth as she stuffed the greasy thighs of roast chicken into her mouth.

"I don't know, but I have to make a trip to the Dragon's Shore, that red-robed lich has a special meaning to me, and I must kill him with my own hands." Axter drank the mushroom soup in the bowl, the rich aroma and sweet and sour taste stimulated Axter's taste buds, making Axter want to stop, this is how long it has been since he has eaten such a seasoned food, Axter himself is a little unclear, in Feron, who does not know how to use seawater to refine salt, condiments can be said to be a very precious thing, in the Friendly Arm and those taverns in Belgost Town, the food condiments made are naturally only a little bit, and the taste can be said to be as light as a bird.

"Oh, we understand, you're going to the red-robed mage's residence over there to investigate the lich's information, right?" Ling understood what Axter meant, the stronghold of the red-robed mage, Cell, was around the Dragon Coast, and Ling, who had been on the Feren Continent for a while, now has a rough understanding of some famous organizations and regions on the continent, she thinks that Axter is holding on to the other party because of the hatred of the destruction of his hometown, and she doesn't know that in fact, the task given by the system also makes Axter have to kill the other party.

"Yes, but there's no hurry, the Dragon's Coast is too far away from Baldur's Gate, and we have to pass through Am, Waterdeep, and the Cormier Empire to get there, so let's take it as a trip on the way." Axter touched his bulging belly, and the fatigue of the past few days of continuous fighting suddenly exploded, and at the moment he just wanted to lie on the carpet and not move.

"Ah, let's go to Candlefort first, I have something very important to go there!" Doris suddenly thought of something.

"Candle Castle? That's not a place where mages go, why are you a druid? Axor recalled, Candle Castle is a famous place in the Feron Continent, Axter naturally knows that it was originally the residence of the great prophet Arlando, and then gradually became a library with a large collection of books, and now anyone who wants to enter Candle Castle must hand in a book worth no less than 1000 gold coins, and there must be no precious books in Candle Castle to have a ticket to enter the castle, and after entering, you have to face the current leader of Candle Castle The guardian of the scroll is Ullant, a level 10 mage apprentice/ Level 7 Prophecy Mage/Level 3 Pharadia/Level 7 Scroll Keeper, a high-level mage, but this old man has a bad habit of inviting everyone into Candlekeep to dinner, and then asking three questions of his own at dinner, and if you answer all of them incorrectly, then you will be kicked out immediately. And that's not all, every traveler who enters the Candle Castle cannot stay in the Candle Castle for a week, and cannot enter the Candle Castle twice in a month, and finally the books in the Candle Castle are not allowed to be copied, if you want to copy it, this can pay 100 gold coins for the monks in the Candle Castle to do the work for you. Although there is a lot of books in that place, it is definitely a place to pit money, and the memory of the previous life Riaxe has not been in.

"I'm a part-time mage! One Ring Mage! And my mom told me when I was very young that if I could get out of the Forest of a Thousand Needles in the future, I would have to go to Candlecastle, where she had something left for me! Doris glared at her big eyes dissatisfied, and skimmed sideways at Axter, as if if Axter would eat and peel him alive in the next second.

"Okay, let's go to Candle Castle tomorrow." Axter raised his hands and surrendered, no matter what the other party said, it was also to take his mother's relics, and Axter naturally had no reason to object.

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Doris turned her head proudly and continued to fight with the beef in the bowl.........
