Chapter 384, The Mystery of Chanem

The Ogmar Monk Rubick determined that Chanem did not exist in the Candlefort.

Chanem doesn't exist at all?

Aaron continued to try to ask about Chanem's adoptive father, he remembered that Chanem, who was the son of the Bal gods, had an adoptive father named Ge or something, because it had been too long, Aaron didn't remember it, he only remembered that his adoptive father originally took Chanem to live in Candlefort and lived a happy and warm life, but a letter from a harpist broke the peace, and the adoptive father obviously knew something and quickly fled with Chanem, but he was unfortunately caught up by the Bal believers, and after a vicious battle in the wild, the adoptive father died in battle, Chanem escapes and meets Aemon on the way, and the story of Baldur's Gate officially begins.

The adoptive father's letter tells Chanem to go to the Arms of Kindness Inn to find his friends harpist Druid Jahira and her husband Khaled.

Now, Aaron meets Jahira and Kalid and makes sure that there is indeed Ammon in Candlecast, and then you tell me that there is no such person in Candlestick as Chanem at all?

The monk of Ogmar, Rubick, refused to reveal a word, the monk was always responsible for communication, not for investigation, and Rubick did not accept any vague search options, and if he wanted to find someone, he had to provide specific and accurate information, such as house number, job title, and name.

Aaron and Rubick's tugging attracted the attention of Eleanor and Charlotte, and Miss Pastor said helplessly: "Aaron, don't embarrass Mr. Rubick if you can't provide accurate information, he doesn't know either, why don't you think about it again?" ”

Charlotte took over the menu from the innkeeper Prigozhin presumptuously, the eldest lady was in a good mood and ordered a lot of dishes, she couldn't wait to order all the signature dishes of the Mamba Hotel, and then turned her attention back to Aaron, hearing that Aaron was always entangled in the name "Chanem", the eldest lady smiled and said: "It must be a mistake, brother, who would name their child Chanem, the character name, it's too funny, it's not as good as Prell!" Hee-hee, Eleanor is right, think again? ”

"On Yongju Island, if someone names a child Chanem, then the elven elders must sigh that there is an illiterate among the elves." Barrell also complained: "So, we Sun Elves think it's a very strange thing for any species to get married and have children before the age of a hundred. ”

"One hundred years is enough for five generations of humanity." Anomin disagrees with Barrell's argument: "Don't apply your view of time to humans. ”

The conversation between several people brought Aaron to enlightenment.

That's right!

Wrong, wrong, he was wrong from the beginning.

Chanem is not called Chanem at all! The name Charnum is a transliteration of Charname! What is his name, the difference is from what the player gives him a name, but in the environment where he didn't understand English at the time, the default name and the string in the dialogue were called Chanem, and over time, everyone got used to calling the protagonist with Chanem.

Damn, so what was the original name of Chanem in the story?

Aaron really doesn't know this.

But because of this, he was relieved.

No news is good news, which means that Birac has not noticed the Baal Mizuko brothers and sisters in Candle Castle, Aaron is already one step faster than Billac, and then he only needs to use this world of activities in Candle Castle to contact Ammon, and by the way, dig out Chanem, and at the same time, he can also give Amon and Chanem vaccinations in advance.

The fate of the Son of Baal is actually destined to tragedy, because Baal has always controlled his divine bloodline behind the scenes, and there are only two endings for the Son of Baal, either using the power of divinity to become strong and go to the path of becoming Baal, or resisting the power of divinity to keep a low profile, and finally being killed by other Baal Sons and becoming the spoils of this chicken contest.

There is no third way, and this is the fate of the Son of Bal.

Aaron didn't play this to the end at the beginning, but it depends on what other people who have played said.

From Aaron's own interests, he is determined to obtain Baal's divinity, which is one of the foundations of his canonization, and it would be better if he could prevent the tragedy that happened to Chanem, Ammon and others by the way.

He could offer Chanem and Ammon a third path that they had never envisioned, if they wanted to.

If they don't want to, Aaron will try to "convince" them to.

No, Aaron doesn't mind taking advantage of it, there is no negotiable question, otherwise once Baal's divinity is mastered by Birac, Aaron's situation will be very passive.

The fact that he can give in appropriately and compensate the Sons of Baal does not mean that he will not do it.

With a plan in mind, Aaron asked Rubick to go back, and the two parties agreed to take Aaron and others into the library to read the books tomorrow, and the monks of Ogma left, leaving the space for Aaron and the others, and Aaron began to really pay attention to the interior of the Mamba Inn.

The lobby of the hotel is grand and imposing, with purple and gold elements everywhere, a row of brown leather balls hanging from the ceiling, and a rotorcraft propeller that the chef owner Prigozhin once shot down is suspended in the air using iron cables.

Recently, many people have taken refuge in Candle Castle, the hotel is full, there are many guests around, due to the rules of Candle Castle, no one stirs up trouble, no one makes a noise, everyone is silently tasting food and discussing the recent rat tide.

Merchants from Neverwinter in the north discussed the dangers of the rat tide to the trade routes, some villages disappeared in place, some adventurers witnessed the presence of legions of ironclad rats the size of men, and Am's army was assembling on the border, which was echoed by several Ammen.

If it weren't for Taks' repeated thwarting of the nezumi attacks, perhaps the nezumi would have reached the vicinity of Candlekeep.

The mages of Waterdeep complained that the Candle Keep was getting more and more dilapidated, and one of them mentioned that the new Goddess of Magic, Midnight, was not the same as his predecessor, and that he always favored the good ones and imposed more restrictions on the evil ones, which caused the mage god Azus and the prophetic god Safras to work only reluctantly with Midnight, and the intimacy was far less than that of the second generation of the goddess of magic, and the mages speculated that it might be for the sake of the god AO.

At the same time, there was a craze for faith in the gods AO in Waterdeep, and a group of people formed a church to worship the gods AO, but any attempts to contact AO have failed so far.

The lobby was full of people, lively and not noisy, and Aaron could tell that Eleanor and Charlotte were enjoying the atmosphere.

After a while, the boss Prigozhin's feast came up.

Caviar with butter, beef stew with Wagner potatoes, Rostov pie, sturgeon back platter, woodland game bird barbecue skewers, glitter sturgeon with refined mushrooms, beetroot soup, tomato broth, strawberry mousse, fresh homemade cucumbers.

After a long journey, a few people in the same group can finally temporarily leave behind the fatigue of the journey and enjoy a feast in a foreign country.

As a master of Roman cuisine and hairy vegetables, Aaron has to admit that the craftsmanship of the boss Prigozhin is really good, more than one grade above Aaron, and this level can go to the Kremlin for a state banquet.

The only thing that made Aaron a little dissatisfied was that the bird skewers were a little too burnt, and the bird meat was so burnt that he couldn't taste the original taste of the bird meat, and the entrance was a mass of burnt meat.

Salty Aaron wants to drink iced tea.

On the lobby stage, two bards are singing the famous song "Look, Owl" by the verdant druids.

"Five rabbits are selling medicine everywhere, five rabbits are selling medicine everywhere~"

"Frogs and lizards are selling ruthless goods, frogs and lizards are selling ruthless goods~"

"The black rabbit only knows how to drink, and the black rabbit only knows how to drink~"

The style of this piece is particularly clean, with a raw beauty that has not been polluted by the city and technology.

Listening to songs, eating good food, and chatting leisurely by the fire, Aaron leaned back in his chair for a moment, and for a moment he even felt that it would be nice to live like this in Candlekeep, isolated from the whole kingdom, enjoying his own peace behind closed doors.

It's a pity that this is impossible, he has too much to do.

Thinking of this, Aaron gently patted Eleanor's little hand.

Miss Reverend was probably mistaken, and her delicate pretty face immediately flushed with a layer of redness, and she stepped on Aaron's foot with the heel of her boots in shame and annoyance, indicating that you don't want to think about it!

You're ...... Do you like it that much?!

Aaron, you bleak soul! Perverted, big perverted!

My lord has mistaken you!

………… I'm the dividing line of the big pervert............

The next day, refreshed Aaron, Charlotte, and Barrell arrived at the north side of the Candle Castle Empty Court.

The north side of the Candle Castle is made up of twelve towers of various sizes, but all of them are gray columns, collectively known as the "Pillars of Teaching".

This is an area where visitors can freely enter the study area, with large and small reading rooms and reception rooms scattered throughout the Pillars of Teachings complex, where visitors wait while the Ogma monks pick up the books requested by the visitors from the Great Library of Candlecastle, and can also offer exchange and counseling programs for further help from the Ogma monks.

Of course, all other services cost money other than access to books, and the monks of Ogma could not survive by drinking the sea fog on the west side of Candlefort.

Permanent silence is released inside the tower, no magic or magic can work in the tower, unless someone can release the superring magic, visitors are free to take notes (the tower sells pen and paper), but it is not allowed to copy books, if a copy of the book is needed, the binding building on the south side of the empty court will provide a copy service, and the standard price for the Ogma monks is 150 gold per copy.

The Empty Court is also the largest area where visitors can move, and visitors are not allowed to enter the Great Library of Candlestick without a higher level of permission.

The eldest lady immediately made a long list of books, and Ogma monks immediately went to fetch them.

Barrell's expression was calm, he asked for a few books, and said with a smile, "I want to see what the people of the kingdom think of our day elves."

Aaron was led by Rubick to a small, separate room by the fireplace, with a large comfortable sofa, bright magic lamps, warm-colored hanging pictures and simple bookshelves to provide the most comfortable environment for reading.

"What books would you like to read?" Ogma Monk Rubick asked.

"I want to read books about the Golden Giant in Kalinsan, the history of Bodrian, the creator of Baldur's Gate." Aaron spoke out about his needs.

"Understood, please wait."

After waiting for more than an hour, Rubick used a cart to fetch a cart of books from the Candle Castle for Aaron to read.

For the next day, Aaron searched Candlefort for information about Rogdorn, the original fist of the empire.

He soon made a discovery.

After Rog Dorn left Callinsan, he spent some time in Sword Bay, and in addition to beating up a Terrasquian beast, he adopted some children and established a shelter during that chaotic time, and it is mentioned in the book that perhaps Bodrian's hometown of Grey Harbor has a shadow of Dorn.

The Imperial Fist Primordial has always protected the humans of Sword Bay in a physical way.

Due to the age of time, Dorne's movements are mostly unknown, and Candleburg was founded in the 75th year of the Vale calendar at the time of Arlando's arrival, and some records that are too old have not been recorded.

Stacking dusty, worn-out old books aside, Aaron flipped through the history of Bodean, the founder of Baldur's Gate.

According to previous information, Bodean once obtained an inheritance of Dorne during a voyage, which quickly turned the navigator into a wealthy man with a vast amount of wealth, which eventually led to the establishment of Baldur's Gate.

Due to the close proximity between the establishment of Baldur's Gate and the establishment of Candlefort, the historical data is very rich.

A few details were immediately taken seriously by Aaron.

It is mentioned in a book that when Bodean built the giant wall of Baldur's Gate, he used the "power of giants" to make the giant granite wall that can surround the entire Grey Harbor be built in a very short time, and after so many years, the original old city wall has not only stood in the erosion and changes of the long years, some scholars have found that there is a powerful protective force within the giant wall, which has always protected Bod'an's legacy.

This power may be the power of Rog Dorne, the original Fist of the Empire.

Aaron was sure.

In terms of construction, there are two experts in the original body, namely the original Rogdorn of the Fist of the Empire and Petrabo the original Iron Warrior.

Rog Dorn presided over the construction of the entire Terra Palace, and when it comes to repairing the city, Dorne is a professional.

"Rog Dorn has a castle fetish, or the worst kind, so serious that he would be disrespectful to the chancellor of the Empire."

- Machado, Prime Minister of the Empire

Bodian may not only have received Rogdorn's legacy, but it is also highly likely that he communicated with Dorn and received his powers from the Fist of the Empire.

The good news shook Aaron's spirits, and he continued to flip through the thick stacks of books.

The second detail was also captured by Aaron.

The Flame Fist Mercenary Regiment at Baldur's Gate was formerly a military organization in Grey Harbor, and its founders left a crest of the academy with a fist facing upwards, which eventually evolved into today's Flame Fist Mercenary Regiment.

Flame Fist – Emperor Fist?

Then there is no doubt about everything.

Aaron closed the book.

Not only did Bodrian receive the legacy of Roger Dorne, he must have communicated with Dorne himself, and the navigator obtained the "Golden Giant's Power" from Dorne and built the giant granite walls to protect Grey Harbor, which eventually formed the prototype of Baldur's Gate!

If he can find Bodrian's nautical charts and navigation records, Aaron will be able to find the traces of Rog Dorn, awaken the original body, and fulfill the emperor's request.

As for whether Dorne is still alive......

Ra Endymion, the son of the Water Thief and the son of the Water Thief, who had worked with Rog Dorn during the Siege of Terra, believes that the original Fist of the Emperor is not so easy to die!

The day passed in a hurry, and before I knew it, it was afternoon, and Aaron, who had finished his research, put down the book.

He was satisfied, the trip to Candlefort was worth the money.

At this time, the eldest lady was still wandering in the ocean of knowledge, and Bariel was in the mood to debate with the monk Ogma, and neither of them had time to pay attention to him, Aaron saw this, and left the pillar of teachings alone, wanting to return to the Mamba Hotel through the middle of the empty court.

On the way, Aaron pondered what he was going to do next, Birac had already preempted the favorable environment of Baldur's Gate, but Aaron's background was obviously much deeper than Birak's.

Just then, a voice stopped him.

"Your Excellency Aaron! You must be Lord Aaron, right? It's me, I'm Ammon, Ammon of the Winthrop family~"

The delicate and beautiful, youthful brown-haired girl stopped in front of Aaron: "I heard that you have something to find me?" ”

Updated, ask for a ticket duck~
