Chapter 65: Knowledge is Power

The atmosphere of the team is becoming depressed and dull, and there is no trace of the state of drinking and talking last night, the mercenaries and adventurers actually have the consciousness of dying in the wilderness, but they are reduced by more than half at once, even the most conscious people can't bear it.

"Those damn winter wolves, those damn pigs!" Rakchel slammed his arm fiercely, the iron armor made a gurgling sound, Axter knew that the pigs he was talking about were referring to the people of the Yanquan mercenary group, it is definitely not a trivial matter for hundreds of winter wolves to appear on the trade road of Baldur's Gate, the winter wolf is not a kobold goblin or the like, but a real demonic beast, a monster of this scale is enough for Baldur's Gate to send a regular army to clean it up, and now the other party probably doesn't even know about this matter.

Axter didn't know how to comfort the other party, he also had the feeling that the brothers who got along day and night said that they didn't have it, and some things could only be left to time to heal, but maybe the people on the continent of Feren were used to seeing life and death, and in just half a day's effort, Rakchel regained his spirit and began to command the caravan's escort work.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw other people on the lion road, in addition to connecting the lion road, Candle Castle is also connected to the trade road of the coastal road, some of the people on the road are the same caravan as themselves, and some are wearing a magic robe, come to Candle Castle to find information or learn spells. The merchants of the Merchant Alliance finally let go of their hanging hearts, this place already belongs to the realm of Candle Castle, and basically there will be no danger.

As we got closer and closer to Candle Castle, a majestic and magnificent medieval castle in Western Europe appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with tall and heavy walls, towering towers, and scaly houses built together, giving people the illusion that the castle was unbreakable, the castle was built on top of a mountain cliff, and the only road to the castle was a suspension bridge paved with bluestone planks, where 5 or 6 fully armed guards stood there, and Axter knew that these people were advanced to the special profession Candle Castle Arcane warriors, and they not only had skilled martial arts, And everyone has a high level of spell casting, everyone is not strong in combat, just like the words in the memory game of his previous life, spells can be martial arts, and gods can't stop it.

After reaching the gate of Candlefort, the merchants of the Merchant Alliance handed a large bag full of gold coins to Rakchel, which was only half of the deposit, and Lacchel and they were to stay outside Candlefort for a day, and when the next day the merchants and the monks of Candlefort were completed, Lacchel was also responsible for sending them back safely to Baldur's Gate, so that their mercenary group in the Land of Warriors could get all the bounty.

Waving at Lakchel, Axter and his party followed the caravan into the Candle Castle, where the guards at the gate seemed to be familiar with the merchants, and let them all in without much investigation. Upon entering the Candlekeep, a strong bookish atmosphere filled the space, and Axter looked out over the eyes of a towering main tower in the center of the Candlekeep, next to which were eight relatively small towers erected in eight directions, forming a starry and moon-like pattern, surrounded by beautiful gardens, and on the periphery of the gardens were a number of other buildings, including the Candlecaste's famous library, visitors' residences, stables, barns, warehouses, hospitals, the Temple of Ogmar, and a shrine to Daniel, Gonde, and Miliel. The robed monks who walked up and down the streets, calling themselves guides and chanters, had it their job day and night to sing hymns in praise of Arlando's prophecy and to tell the travelers who came to Candlefort about these things.

At this point, Axor officially parted with the Merchant Alliance, and although the Merchant Alliance euphemistically expressed to Axter that they wanted to hire them again to protect him and return to Baldur's Gate, this was undoubtedly rejected by Axter. The merchants of the Merchant Alliance had no choice but to give up, and after introducing the rules of the Candle Castle to Axter and the others, the Merchant Alliance went to the warehouse of the Candle Castle with the monks in charge of reception.

Axter and the others didn't stop, they walked directly into the library of Candle Castle, and the main purpose was to find the relics left by Doris her mother, but reading Candle Castle books is also the top priority, this is the entry ticket for 1000 gold books, and Axter, who went through the "back door", they don't have to face the three tricky questions of the old man of the file keeper, I don't know when this opportunity will be waited for next time.

"Oh my God." After entering the library, the rows of neatly arranged bookshelves shocked everyone's nerves, Ling rubbed her eyes in disbelief, every shelf in it was stuffed, it was estimated that there were hundreds of books and scrolls on each shelf, you can imagine how many books there are in the entire library, and it is estimated that you can build an identical candle castle outside by taking out all these books.

But fortunately, these books have been organized, they are placed separately according to the region, and there are subdivisions in each area, which makes it a lot easier for people to find the books they want to read, otherwise it is estimated that only the mage casts spells to find books to read in them, and the time for other professions to find books for a week is simply not enough.

"Let's go separately and meet at the accommodation in the evening." With a wave of his hand, Axor asked the team to find the books they needed, and Axter himself led Lavis to the books section on magic and began to select the knowledge she needed for his sister.

"An Overview of the Origin of the Source of Order", "Priest's Spell-Casting Techniques", "Priest's Combat Techniques and Divine Casting Sequence", "How to Increase the Casting Speed of Divine Magic". It took half a day, and Axter finally picked out four of the books in a large pile, and here he had to sigh again at the richness of the variety of books in Candlecastle, in his cognition, all those who can be connected with the source of order are extraordinary talents, and there are not four or five out of hundreds of thousands of people, and there are books here that tell about this knowledge, Axter took them off the bookshelf without saying a word and handed them to Lavis, in Candlecastle books are allowed to be taken back to the residence to read, The people of Candlecastle have no fear of losing their books or having them copied without permission, because they are all attached to the spells released by the Guardian of the Dossier himself, and it is impossible for ordinary people to crack them.

And after solving Lavis's problem, Axor himself randomly selected a few books on spell identification, the warrior and the way of the sword master he has almost explored, and these things are not mastered through the content of the book at all, the reason why Axter chose these books to read is to hope to have more understanding of spells, if he can master the spell identification this special session would be the best, so that he can predict the spell released by the opponent in advance through the caster's gestures and syllables, This is equivalent to opening a bug in the battle with the spellcaster, just imagine that when a mage spell is just halfway recited, others can judge the opponent's spell in advance and avoid it, then the caster's effect must be reduced by at least half. Many warriors are big bosses, and most of them tend to use their strong bodies to resist spells, rather than calm down and study the essence of spells, which also leads to many spellcasters and warriors always losing when they fight.

It is said that time always passes very fast when people are serious, when Axor finished looking for all the books he can use, it was already dark, and Lavis, who was beside him, obviously did not feel the arrival of the evening, at this time the little girl was tilting her head to read the first book of a serious reader, seeing her sister so cute, Axter couldn't help but pick up Ravis and rubbed the little girl's soft double ponytail.

"Brother, why are you bothering me, I'm seeing an important place!" The little girl pursed her lips, clearly unhappy that she had been disturbed.

"No matter how important it is, you have to eat, you can go back and read these books, but if you don't eat on time, you will not grow tall and beautiful. Haven't you always envied Sister Ling? Seeing that Lavis was a little angry, Axter had to coax Ravis in the way of coaxing a child, but this trick Ravis was really useful, as soon as he heard that eating was related to his future height and appearance, the little girl immediately put down the book and obediently put her head on Axe's chest............
