The commotion of the crowd immediately attracted the attention of the Fist Flame soldiers, and a young female knight wearing shining silver-white armor, carrying a wide two-handed sword on her back, and wearing a standard helmet of Fist Flame approached.

When this female knight walked over, many people's eyes were attracted to the female knight. She has long red hair that is as striking as a flame, her temperament is awe-inspiring, her eyes are sharp, and her beautiful and determined face has a solemnity and majesty in the sunlight.

"Hey, Sister Annie, it's your turn today!"

Shi Ji poked her head out of the carriage and saw the female knight walking over, and couldn't help but cheer and raise her hand to greet her. This female knight was none other than Anne, the adopted daughter of Captain Ska, Duke of Iltan's right-hand man, a very good female knight.

"Shiki, and Lord Eleta?"

Anne Knight's eyes looked through the car window, and in addition to Shi Ji, he also saw the existence of Dugu Feng.

"Ah, it's Aelita back!"

"What, Lord Elita, Princess Killing?"

"I heard that Lord Aelita rebuilt the Dragonspear Castle?"

"Yes, yes, now, we don't have to worry about the monsters of the Supreme Wasteland and the Troll Roaring Forest in the future!"

"With the Dragon Spear Castle here, our trade route to Waterdeep City will be better in the future......"

Although the voice of Knight Anne was not loud, the pedestrians around him could hear it clearly, and when they heard the famous "Princess of Slaughter" Lord Elita, everyone immediately showed reverence and admiration, and while they were discussing, they turned their eyes to the carriage with the double sword and silver shield badge, trying to see the true face of the legendary Princess of Killing.

As the descendants of pioneers and reclaimers, the people of the Western Soil scattered among the settlements scattered in the wilderness are generally strong and independent, and their blood is born with the courage and glory of their ancestors, and they have a special respect for those who are safe and guarded. Although there are many strong people in this world, there are extremely few strong people who can continue to go deep into the wilderness to fight monsters and robbers, and expand the living space for ordinary civilians.

And Dugu Feng's persistent fight against wilderness monsters for more than ten years has indeed won the admiration and admiration of most of the people in the Western Lands, and by the way, even the prestige of the Silver Shield family has risen a lot.

"Captain Annie, what's going on......"

The commotion outside the city gate immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on duty at the head of the city, and the mage on duty also poked his head out of the arrow tower and asked, but when he saw the carriage with the silver shield family badge, as well as Shi Ji and Dugu Feng in the carriage, he immediately jumped down quickly, trotted all the way to the carriage, and greeted him very courteously: "Miss Shi Ji, Lord Elita!" ”

It was a young mage dressed in a well-dressed mage robe, with beautiful blonde hair, a handsome face, and a tall figure who would smile before he could say anything, and he looked quite attractive.

"Hmph, it's you, William Gast!"

However, apparently Shi Ji didn't seem to be very interested in this young man, she snorted twice, glanced at the young man disappreciatively, and stopped talking.

Dugu Feng didn't have too much prejudice against this young man, although his personality was smooth and he looked a little flattering, but this young man was indeed a very outstanding genius. He is a disciple of Master Ramasis, the magic advisor of the Grand Duke of Anta * Silver Shield, and is an out-and-out magical genius, and now he is not yet thirty years old, he is already a ninth-level mage, such an achievement is also an extremely dazzling existence among mortals.

Moreover, this young man is not only a genius of magic, he has a sleek personality, long sleeves and is good at dancing, and is extremely sociable and clinging. When he was an apprentice to Master Ramassis, he repeatedly looked for opportunities to try to get the attention of Grand Duke Anta Silvershield. It's just a pity that the Grand Duke of Anta * Silver Shield has a high and powerful position, and there are countless people who want to cling to the Grand Duke in order to support him, and the Grand Duke of Silver Shield will not take a second look at the featureless mage apprentice like him. Therefore, even though he spent a lot of effort, he never gained anything.

Fortunately, Dugu Feng took a fancy to his talent and talent, and gave him certain support and resources, which allowed him to get rid of the fate of being constantly pressed under the hands of Master Ramasis and get the coveted climbing opportunity.

Of course, Dugu Feng accepted him as his younger brother, in addition to his talent and talent, but also because he was cautious and intelligent, although he looked very sleek and flattering on the surface, he seemed to do whatever it took to climb up. But in fact, this person is very self-aware, and does not think about it because he has the opportunity to get close to the daughter of the Grand Duke.

Even with Dugufeng's appreciation and support, he still worked very hard, after learning from Ramasis, he took the initiative to join the mage group that served the "fist flame", and kept taking various opportunities to expand his contacts and influence, while the mage's strength was steadily promoted, he also quickly became a rising star in the Baldur's Gate.

As for the reason why Shi Ji doesn't like him very much, it is also that he has seen too much of his submissive, respectful and flattering image in front of his sister and father, and directly equates him with those flattering villains who surround her father, and he doesn't have a good impression at all.

Regarding Shi Ji's opinion full of the eldest lady's temper, Dugufeng did not say anything. It's just that as a duchess, you can judge others by your likes and dislikes, but as a leader, you can't be so emotional. Therefore, there is still a long way to go to train Shi Ji into a qualified leader!

“…… Lord Eleta, the elven emissaries sent by Avresta from the north have arrived, and the Duke has arranged for them to be entertained at the official residence...... However, the council is still debating whether to send troops to aid the elves of Ephrisca...... The Duke of Iltan was ill and could not participate, but Angelo Dusen, who attended in his place, expressed his support for the rescue...... The Grand Duke of Pentt and some chambers of commerce objected, arguing that Baldur's Gate should not waste its precious forces on unrelated battlefields......"

As a young man full of desire for power and status, William Gast seized the opportunity to express himself as much as he could, constantly reporting to Dugufeng what was happening in Baldur's Gate during this time.

"Very good, I see, you did a good job!"

Dugu Feng nodded slightly, and was not stingy with the praise of the outstanding little brother. Over the years, many young talents have emerged in the Baldur's Gate area, such as William Gast, such as Anne Knight next to him, such as Shaflock, the rising star of the Iron Throne, such as Deedy, the ace of the Thieves' Guild, etc., are all very outstanding figures.

It's just that the excellent characters are very individual, each with their own arrogance and ambition, not so easy to accept, and Dugufeng is too lazy to learn from those pig's feet who look at the thatched house and put their hearts in their hearts, so until now, there are not many suitable talents under his command. William Garst is good at franchises, there is no shortage of means, although he can not be relied on as a confidant, but as a qualified treasurer there is no problem.

"Thank you, sir, for your appreciation!"

William Gast smiled and nodded repeatedly, this kind of courteous gesture even the Anne Knight next to him couldn't stand it.

"Alright, Gast! If you want to report to your master, you might as well wait until the shift is over, and for now, get out of the way and let the convoy into town! ”

"Well, it was my negligence, I'm sorry, Captain Annie!" Accused by Anne Knight in person, William Gast did not have any unhappy expression, but sincerely admitted his mistake.

"If you can follow the example, I will propose to the Duke to replace his personal magic advisor!"

The carriage moved forward, and Dugu Feng nodded slightly to say goodbye to Anne and William Gast, and left such a sentence.

Getting this promise that is not a promise, William Gast's face suddenly showed a smile that could not be concealed, sure enough, it is not wrong to pay attention to performance at all times, the personal magic adviser of the Grand Duke of Anta Silver Shield, that is the position of the old guy of Ramathis, that position represents not only a huge amount of annuity and benefits, but also represents that he will really enter the private circle of the Grand Duke. Hehe, he's been looking at that old fellow of Ramasys for a long time, and this time he finally has a chance......

……

The carriage traveled through the gates of Baldur's Gate, along the central avenue, straight towards the northern noble district of the inner city. The city of Baldur's Gate can be roughly divided into two areas, the upper part of the city, where the nobles, merchants, and wealthy people lived, and the lower part where the commoners, craftsmen, thieves, sailors, sailors, and so on were located.

The Upper Town is the old town of Baldur's Gate, which existed at the time of the establishment of Baldur's Gate, and has a fine tradition here, and is an area that is heavily patrolled by the Fist Guards, with orderly order and good law and order. The lower districts, which were later expanded as the city expanded, were so mixed with so many outsiders and unknown people that the civilian areas of other cities were so chaotic that even the Fist Soldiers were reluctant to patrol there. The law and order of the lower districts is maintained more by the autonomy of the chambers of commerce and guilds, as well as the dark order of the thieves' unions and other forces.

However, although the upper and lower districts are separated, in fact, the construction of Baldur's Gate is still very chaotic. After all, the Baldur's Gate area was founded by a group of merchants, landless peasants, and pirates, and you can't expect this group of rough people who don't even know much to have a sense of urban planning.

Moreover, with the inhabitation and growth of various forces, out of the need for defense and defense, nobles, churches, chambers of commerce, guilds and other forces have built their own castles and temples in the city, as small fortresses to defend against possible attacks by hostile forces.

So, as you follow the central avenue of Baldur's Gate, all the way from crossing the lower district to the upper town. Along the way, you can see many buildings full of rough style, such as the Port Bureau, the Flame Fist Headquarters, the Hall of Mysterious Wonders, the Iron Throne Headquarters, and the Witchcraft Grocery Store, all of which are fortress-like buildings with thick walls and closed doors.

With so many buildings that could serve as small fortresses clustered in one city, it's no wonder that the layout of the city has become incredibly messy. As a large city with a permanent population of more than 50,000, Baldur's Gate is far inferior to the Winterfall to the north, which has a population of only 17,000 but is known for its craftsmanship and garden city, not to mention the beautiful Silvermoon City.

Of course, as one of the famous commercial cities on the west coast of the mainland, Baldur's Gate still has its own unique advantages. The port of Sword Bay, located between Waterdeep and Am's capital city of Askatra, also has the best of both worlds.

Waterdeep in the Northland is known for its tolerance, and it is an important place of harmony in the land of Fajou, benefiting from a fine port, an enlightened system, a tolerant spirit, and a strong magical tradition, the city is inclusive of all intelligent races on the continent, even the drow elves and orcs who are known for their evil can live openly here. Therefore, as its name suggests, Deep Water City is the deepest city on the mainland, and all kinds of strong people lurking in it emerge in an endless stream.

Ascat has the strongest commercial tradition, where almost the most money-worshipping people in the entire country are gathered, and even their philosophy of life has been integrated with money. This merchant city has the most prosperous trade and economic vitality, and of course, there is no shortage of all kinds of intrigues and betrayals brought by merchants.

In between, Baldur's Gate, which is deeply influenced, has both the inclusive spirit of Waterdeep and the mercantile spirit of Askatra. So, although on the surface, Archduke Anta Silver Shield has mastered the situation at Baldur's Gate, but in fact, beneath the calm surface, there are also deep shadows.

And these shadows, with the awakening of the Son of Baal, the arrival of the day of fate, will be like a powder keg that has been suppressed for a long time, directly detonated!
