"Yes, but you have to swear by your soul." The necromancer lowered his head and thought for a moment, and after a long moment he said as if he had made up his mind. Without saying a word, Acoste solemnly swore in front of Sacraed, and then the necromancer swore with his soul oath in front of him that everything he had told Acoste was true, and he whispered a whisper to Acoste's ear.

Acoste frowned and listened, he was not a mage, he didn't understand many professional terms, but this did not prevent him from completely recording Sakrid's words, this kind of secret art is powerful, it can make people who have not mastered the expertise of instant spells instantly avoid spell casting materials, casting syllables and gestures to instantly send a spell, which can definitely play a decisive role in life and death, and this secret art is theoretically unlimited to the magic ring, that is, if you learn the legendary spell, Then you can completely avoid the 40, 50 seconds or even a few minutes of casting time of the legendary spell and release it, but as the saying goes, how much a person gains will lose as much as he loses, and the price of this secret spell is to lose the spell slot of the same ring spell forever, and this price is definitely unbearable for ordinary mages. Acoster looked at Sakrid a little surprised, this kind of high-level secret art didn't seem to be in the hands of a low-level necromancer like him, because it looked more like the secret art of the great arcanist during the Nethariel period, but the necromancer refused to tell him how he obtained the secret art, and Acoster had to give up.

However, Acoste did not go to great lengths to ask for this secret to be learned by Doris, he had been thinking about one thing in his heart, and this secret technique was just the bargaining chip in this matter.

After completely solving the robbers, the fishermen who had been in a sluggish state at the entrance of the village instantly burst into cheers, they loudly praised the exploits of Acoste and others, and were originally going to point the spearhead at the villagers of Acoste and others to a 180-degree change of face, and some people even proposed to erect bronze statues for the six adventurers of Acoste and put them at the door of the dragon bridge, of course, this kind of corrupting character was directly rejected by Acoste's righteous words.

However, they still enjoyed the treatment that heroes deserve, along the way, Acoste they were welcomed to the door of the mermaid tavern, and the owner of the tavern was even more enthusiastic, and invited Acoste for free to all the expenses of their accommodation and meals, and promised that as long as Acoste visited their tavern in the future, the cost should be free. After the fierce battle, they didn't enjoy much time as heroes, and after a few hasty interactions with the fishermen at the mouth of the Dragon Bridge, several people went back to their rooms to take a hot bath to remove the blood stains that had already dried up, and then slept beautifully.

If you want to talk about who suffered the most after this incident, it is undoubtedly the merchants at the mouth of the dragon bridge, almost all the business in the hands of these people is closely related to the bandit camp, although they believe that after a while there will be a batch of outcast bandits here to resume their old business, but the loss of these days is inevitable, but when Acoste took out the books that were sorted out from Candle Castle, those merchants who were originally blue immediately smiled, and almost didn't have a mouthful of an uncle to Acoste to lick, This time, Acoste and they sold nearly half of the books, most of which were about geography and civil engineering, and even so, Acoste and they also earned hundreds of thousands of gold coins, counting the secret gold coins given by the young mage, their huge sum of money was enough for all the equipment to have a big change from head to toe.

However, Yacoste did not use the money. After a day's rest in the tavern, Acoste bought a detailed map of the vicinity of Baldur's Gate from the local merchants, and the group left the mouth of the dragon and headed south, the dwarven berserker Kogan had nothing to do, he forgot that he had drunk and said that he was going to explore the ruins of the Cloak Forest, and he temporarily joined Acoste's adventure party, and after walking for two days and two nights, they finally stopped in front of a white castle.

"Brother, why are we stopping here?" Lavis tilted his head and asked Acoste, it stands to reason that they should have been heading south to Am.

Yacoste shook his head and didn't speak, he walked directly to the door of the white castle, the gate of the castle actually opened by itself with the arrival of Yacoste, and an old man with white hair walked out of it, he had a kind smile on his face, but the deep gaze and a device that flashed with magic aura made people angry and contemptuous,

"Dear Master Tyrantil of the High Fence Fortress, we are admirable adventurers who wish to seek your help." Acoste bowed his head respectfully, and said to the old man dressed as a mage, his memories of his previous life have an impact on this old mage, although Tyrantiel has been living in a low-key life in the high fence fortress, but in the turmoil, Tyrantiel had recently helped Baldur's Gate to repel the demon's attack, and at that time people knew that this seemingly kind old mage actually had a spell-casting ability close to that of a legendary mage, and his fame immediately spread throughout this Baldur's Gate area.

"I didn't expect you to know me, young man, tell me, what help are you going to ask for in the High Fence Fort." Tyrantiel looked at Acoste a little surprised, but he didn't say any more nonsense, and asked the other party directly.

"I'd like my sister and Doris to study in your castle for a while." Acoste didn't care about Lavis and Lavis's surprised eyes, and directly dragged his sister and little druid out from behind. "As for the master, I have prepared your reward, and I believe that I will not disappoint you."

"I don't want it!" "I refuse!" Before Master Tyrantiel could speak, Lavis and Doris shouted in unison, and Lavis's big eyes were full of mist, she didn't expect that her biological brother would "sell" herself to someone else without saying a word.

"This is an order to Doris," Acoste didn't talk nonsense with little druid, and directly blocked Doris's mouth as his captain, as for Lavis, Acoste didn't dare or was reluctant to use force with the other party, so he had to squat down and touch the girl's head, "You've grown up, haven't you?" ”

"But brother." Lavis is not a stupid person, he knows that he is still too weak, Yacoste is a warrior, it is impossible to teach himself any experience in spell-casting experience, many times Lavis relies on his own half-understanding to go on like this, no matter what else, if Lavis and Sacrad are put alone, although Lavis occupies the level, and there are 6 more four-ring magic positions, but if it really fights, the little girl will definitely be educated by the other party and can't find the north, and Doris is the same.

"Learn the spellcaster's fighting methods here, although you are a priest, but you are very different from other priests, you know, you have to learn the spellcaster's combat skills, consciousness and some other knowledge, if you can, I hope you can take up the mage profession again." Acoste said to Lavis in a serious voice, his eyes revealing sincerity and doting. "Brother swears that he will pick you up in a few months, okay."

"But brother. You have to count when you speak. "Lavis, too, has grown up, and since she learned the first magic of light in the Temple of Justice in Belgost, the little girl has met the Death Knight after her brother, seen Berserkers, killed kobolds, and fought ogres. From the original destruction of Tuk Town, to the mines of the Friendly Arm, to the caves outside the village of Capella, to the Forest of a Thousand Needles, to the underground tunnels of Candle Castle, the little girl has grown up with knowledge and experience far beyond her peers, and although the little girl has been trying to improve herself during her own adventures in the past few months, she knows that this is not enough.

"I promise you, when did my brother lie to you." Acoste smiled at Lavis, and after calming the two of them, he once again faced the old mage who was left to the side, but fortunately the old mage had a good temper, and he didn't care about the slightest disrespect from the other party.

"Have you thought about it? I don't have a problem with taking two more apprentices, even if that little girl is a priest, I see in her the potential to become a mage, but what price do you have to pay to make me tempted? You must know that there are generally only two ways to accept mage apprentices in the High Fence Fort, one is the introduction of old friends, and the other is to issue a letter of introduction to the caravan that has dealings with the High Fence Fort. ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Yacoste walked up to the old mage's ear and told the old mage about the secret technique he had just tricked, in fact, if there was no secret technique, Yacoste would also take out a part of the collection of books in Candle Castle as an "admission procedure". Tyrantiel had an expression of disbelief on his face when he heard Acoste's words, but he couldn't help but believe it, as a seasoned mage, Tyrantiel had always hung on the detection of lies, and he didn't believe that a warrior could pull up such a complex set of spell theories to coax himself.

"Yes, that's enough to tempt me. Although I don't know how you know about this secret. They've officially become apprentices at the High Fence, and I'd like to teach them the same way as any other apprentice. After listening to the complete set of theories, Tyrantiel couldn't wait to agree to Lavis and Doris's things, looking at him as if he was going to experiment with the principles of this set of secret techniques immediately, in fact, most mages are similar to the scientific madmen in their previous life memories, and they will immediately become interested in the theory they don't know, and they don't want to waste a minute or a second.

Acoste also knew the temperament of these mages, and he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and took out all the secret magic gold coins that the young mage handed over to him from the space bag, the cost of a mage apprentice is definitely an amazing amount, even if Lavis and Doris become Tyrantiel's mage apprentices, the other party is just teaching the two of them knowledge, providing them with places and accommodation, and the real big head experiments, materials for magic items, and money for the purchase of magic scrolls are all reimbursed by themselves.

Acoste waved his hand and walked towards the outside of the High Fence Fort, the dwarves Kogan, Ling, and Li Qing were waiting for him outside the gate of the High Fence Fort, Yacoste had discussed these things with them, and they all voted in favor without exception.

"Brother! You've got to come back to pick up Lavis! Looking at Acoste's back, Lavis's tears finally burst out of her eyes, she has only one relative since she was a child, she only has one relative since she can remember, she wakes up every morning to see her brother, who was still a teenager at that time, carrying a hoe on his back to take care of the fields, and at night when his brother came back in a barmaid's clothes, in Lavis's eyes, Acoste is her own world, if time permits, she just wants to be a little girl forever, stay by Acoste's side.

Yacoste didn't look back, he was afraid that he didn't have much courage left, and if he turned back, he couldn't help but feel sad about parting and then pick up his sister back, all he could do was keep waving his hand, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone his slightly vicissitudes of life but a tall figure on the ground, and it was very long, very long. until they disappear into the forest
