Chapter 12: Paradise

Everyone sighed for a while and then left Psur City, due to the turmoil last night, there are about twice as many garrisons at the checkpoint at the city gate today as usual, Yacoste showed his identity as a D-level adventurer, but the captain of the garrison did not buy Yacoste's account, he felt that this kind of adventurer who was a little famous but not strong was likely to be used by the cultists or become a part of the cultists, and they were going to take down Yacoste and they entered the interrogation room.

But when Yacoste unhurriedly took out the Honored Noble Insignia of the Temple of Justice, the captain of the garrison instantly changed his face. Cold sweat spread all over the sides of his emaciated cheeks in an instant, and he turned around and drank off the guards who were about to step forward to make a move, and turned into a crying and laughing expression at a rapid speed, groveling to Yacoste for mercy, claiming that he had not slept all night because he had been busy all night last night, so his brain was a little unclear now, which offended Acoste and the others.

Acoste naturally didn't care about the other party, he waved his hand and left the checkpoint of Psul City, his noble medal might not be easy to use if he treated the priests of the Earth Temple yesterday, because the other party also believes in the gods of powerful divine powers, and they won't bite you at all, but it is very useful to deal with these small fish and shrimp, just a noble identity can overwhelm this group of soldiers of the civilian class, not to mention that this noble status is issued by the Archbishop of Tyre, the Temple of Justice, which exists all over Faerun.

With this thing, Acoste can get a fief with a fief certificate in a place where there is a Tyr church, and then form a knight order of no more than 200 people in its own size, if he develops his own territory in the wild, Acoste can completely copy the Tuke town where he used to live, but Acoste did not do this, during this time they ran around, there is no place where they can stay for a long time, even if they have to start doing these things, Then we have to wait until the matter of Ling and Li Qing's ancient evil things is all resolved.

To the south of Psul, there are many small rivers, and if you can fly high into the sky and look down on the earth, you will find that these rivers are scattered over the land like a chessboard, and eventually they all flow to a huge lake that is not too much to call an inland sea, Lake Esmere

This deep blue lake is located in the middle of Amm, and in parts of the south and east, the bottom of the lake rises dramatically and becomes unfathomable, and mineral hot springs gush out of the shallows of the western part of Lake Esmere, making it a tourist hotspot and health resort. Many rumors have suggested that there is an aquatic monster in the water, but most of the rumors have been debunked based on sightings of a subspecies of bipedal wyvern, BalagostheFlyingFlame, a large, large, legendary bipedal wyvern in red, with its unbelievably large size, temper, and reckless use of spells.

However, although the flame temper is not very good, but the characteristics of the bipedal wyvern do not allow it to wantonly attack the human and halfling gathering points that settle around Lake Esmere, it always lives in a cave in the cloud mountain range in the southwest of Lake Esmere, when it is hungry, it will fly to the lake to catch some fish or catch some trolls on the mountains for dinner, as long as the humans do not deliberately provoke or trouble it, it can sleep quietly in its cave all day.

Yacoste they encountered countless caravans along the way, the trade road here is very neat, the soil is obviously tamped artificially, no matter how heavy the caravan carriage is driving on the road, the wheels will not collapse, and the surroundings of the trade road are very calm, except for the endless plains and the wild grass swaying in the wind, there are no robbers, bandits or kobold ogres can be seen, the vast majority of caravans do not hire adventure teams or mercenary groups as escorts, they only bring a few of their own men to drive many two horses, The ox cart was on the road.

Seeing this scene, Acoste couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is the avoidance of a unified country and scattered lords who occupy their own land, although Amm is a commercial kingdom, and only the six-member council is the supreme leader of the country rather than a dictatorial king, but even so, the unified Amber can still send a strong army or gather a large number of workers to solve various things in his kingdom, such as repairing roads, cleaning up monsters, and opening up new trade routes, These things that are powerless for Baldur's Gate come naturally here at Am. After all, no matter how prosperous Baldur's Gate is, it is a city at best, while Amm is a country with a population of more than a million.

At the end of the main trade road, there was a fork, and the merchants drove along the wide dirt road to the right, which was opened up by Am, and there were no monsters on the way, and at the end of that road was Kreemul, the commercial city of Am, but Acoste broke away from the main army and walked on another thorny path.

This road runs along the other side of Lake Asmee, across the Cloud Mountains to Ascalla, the capital of Am, but this road is inaccessible, there are muddy swamps, steep mountain roads, bushy paths, and wild beasts all over the road, even if Am's strength is strong, it is impossible to destroy the monsters living in the cloudy mountains, not to mention the wild monsters like the White Dragon, even the hordes of trolls, Genting giants, and swamp lizards are enough for Am's army to drink a pot. The reason why Acoste chose this path, firstly, because it is close enough, there is no need to go through Cremur like those merchants and then circle around Esmire Lake to reach Askatra, and secondly, they can avoid the eyes and ears of the shadow thieves to the greatest extent, although Acoste is very relaxed after listening to all the things about Ling, but there is no bottom in his heart, the other party is an organization with the legendary wanderer profession, and if he is not good, he will fall into a place of no return.

In the evening, when the sun was setting, Acoste suddenly saw a chimney smoke rising beside them, and they walked over there, and a beautiful village appeared before their eyes.

The houses in the village are very clean and tidy, they are all domed houses made of wood and painted with bright paint, and each house is surrounded by a patchwork yard full of exotic flowers. Even when winter comes, these flowers bloom brilliantly, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance. Street lamps were erected in every street outside the village, this kind of alchemical product was very expensive on the continent of Faerun, even Psur, the capital of barns, could not afford it, but it was everywhere here, and the sound of laughter and laughter continued to come from the village, combined with the refreshing night view of the adjacent Lake Esme and the night scene full of sparkling diamonds, giving Acoste the illusion that they had come to a paradise.

The only discord is that the houses here are so small that the height of the doors of each house does not exceed 50 inches [1]. 27 meters, like a house built for children. It would have been okay to live at Kogan's height, but Acoste knew that dwarves would never have built such elaborate houses and beautiful environments to live in.

"Hey, stranger, are you here to visit the Bag Bottom Cave?" Just as Acoste and the others walked to the gate of the village, a young child's voice suddenly sounded from the side, Acoste turned his head to look, and found that his eyes were empty, could he have encountered a ghost again
