PS: I finished the final root canal today, and it's finally finished, and it's uncomfortable.

After meeting Suren Ma Ma in the Chapel of the Stormy Coast, Aaron takes Eleanor back to the Elven Song Inn, where Reinsdorf has already opened a room for Aaron in the Elven Song Hotel, and Charlotte checks in.

The Elven Song Tavern has been in operation at Baldur's Gate for a long time, it has been passed down from a half-elf family, and is named after the most popular pastime of the common citizens of Baldur's Lower Town, where every now and then the sad song of an ethereal female elf echoes through the tavern, hence the name.

While the singing isn't loud enough to interrupt people's conversations, most guests stop chatting when the song starts and continue their conversation when the singing stops.

Many tavern regulars come here to listen to the song. Those who know Elf can understand the meaning of the lyrics, which are mourning for the nameless lover who lost the ocean.

No one knows when this soul will inhabit this tavern, just as no one knows when it will sing again.

"Varro said in his adventure notes that no one would dare to entertain himself unarmed in the tavern of Baldur's Gate." Aaron took Eleanor's little hand and recalled Varro's "Travels to Baldur's Gate": "The streets and taverns of Baldur's Gate are actually the most dangerous places in Baldur's Gate, where alcohol, money, conflicts, and murders happen every day in Baldur's Gate. ”

Before they could finish speaking, Aaron and Eleanor noticed a brawl going on in the alley on the side of the street, where the locals of Baldur's Lower Town and the outsiders dressed as refugees scuffled together, and the two were invusing each other in accents they didn't understand, and their fists were slamming at their stomachs and heads.

No one tried to persuade them, and the crowd cheered loudly, and there were people with clay pots openly accepting bets, including a patrol of Flame Fist, a rock gnome with his hands on his chest, and an interesting idea for the two brawlers.

"Hit! Hit him, Gal Shinkin is on it, this punch is really strong! ”

"Hit it there, hard!"

"Baldur's Gate does not accept tears."

The refugees from other places may have been malnourished, and his body was obviously more athletic, and he finally couldn't support it and collapsed after being punched in the stomach a few times, and the people around him rushed up and took away all the valuable things on his body, including his clothes, and the bare-bottomed refugees were thrown into the depths of the alley, and everyone saw that they had no fun to watch, and left one after another.

The Flame Fist Patrol shook their heads in disappointment, "It's boring. ”

A conflict ended with one of them being thrown naked into the sewers, and such clashes take place every day in Baldur's Gate.

Aaron asked Eleanor to give the refugee a magic treatment from afar, otherwise if Aaron didn't guess wrong, this refugee would soon become an accessory to make the next Iron Warrior, and Baldur's Gate was originally having a headache about how to deal with the large number of refugees who had taken refuge in the city, and Birac's approach was perfect from a utilitarian point of view.

"Baldur's Gate is a city of 300,000 people."

- Primordial Demon Prince Birak,

Two blocks away, the Elven Song Tavern arrived, and at the door of the tavern stood two strong female orcs.

"Welcome, traveler, welcome to Baldur's Gate, welcome to the Elven Song Tavern, remember, this is not a blushing mermaid, if you don't follow the rules, then we'll throw you out of the tavern."

The female orc's eyes lit up when she saw Aaron's face: "Weapons are not allowed in the tavern, but you can use your fists. ”

The door opens, and a green carpet spreads on the brown-yellow wooden floor leading to the bar, flanked by more than a dozen round tables, each filled with guests, drinking and sharing their experiences.

A group of shipwrights are discussing the possibility of heading to the Lunaris Islands, and they've had their fill of food.

Several halfling thieves sang ballads of the halfling god Yodara, and from time to time mixed in words of praise for Temorrah.

A human dramatist is listening to two adventurers tell their story at the cost of a glass of fine ale.

Keira Knightley, the female orc arena champion from the North, flexes her muscles on stage, drumming others on stage to challenge her.

The priest of Safras, the god of prophecy, offered divination services in the corner of the tavern.

The halfling flame fist guards openly recruited a group of gutter rat catchers, with preferential salaries, food and shelter, five insurances and one housing fund.

Drinks are constantly being pushed out of the kitchen and delivered to the hands of the guests, two animate armors and a female half-ogre closely watching for possible conflicts,

Fully-equipped guests gather around tables or private rooms in the main hall.

On the east wall beneath the creaking wooden staircase leading to the second floor is a fireplace, facing which three upholstered chairs are placed. Some drunks will get drunk and fall on the couch facing the north wall.

Next to the couch is a sailor's storage compartment filled with a variety of games.

The large flat that Reinsdorf chartered for Aaron and others is located on the second floor of the tavern, which has a large suite of more than 300 square meters, this palatial room has velvet curtains, eight four-poster beds, meeting area, game area, sanitary area, and can directly get food supply from the kitchen on the first floor through the lifting window.

When Aaron and Eleanor entered the suite, Charlotte was already there, the eldest lady took off her pink pearl lace-up heels and leaned against the sofa, a pair of white silk jade feet were set up high on the table, and when she saw Aaron come in, she beckoned to her: "Brother brother~ here and here!" ”

"What a big suite! Hey, that's what deserves to be my daughter of the sun god! Charlotte spread her hands and was going to give Aaron a big hug: "I'm going to sleep with Aaron at night!" ”

"It's really good." Aaron sat on the sofa with Charlotte in his arms, and his eyes rolled: "It's just that the sound insulation effect may not be very good." ”

"Hee-hee~ It's okay, I've long wanted to see how you and Eleanor are doing with your brother, isn't there a chance now?" A little star popped up in Charlotte's eyes: "The bride is practicing, the bride-to-be is practicing~ Nestia also agreed!" ”

"Don't even think about it!" Eleanor glared at Aaron in exasperation, and Miss Pastor firmly disagreed.

Hmph~ Charlotte's little nose hummed, thinking that it would be up to you to agree or not when the time comes?

Looking at his brother's expression, he has already agreed!

Aaron, Eleanor, and Charlotte chatted in the newly opened flat, and after enjoying a moment of relaxation, Nestia arrived with Anomin.

Sister Darkspirit is always resolute when she does things: "Aaron, we have made contact with the Knights of the Shield. ”

"As luck would have it, the Knights of the Shield agreed to discuss with us a deal for the Bodian chart." Nestia was also surprised that things went well: "Luckily, the joint location is here. ”

"The Knights of the Shield have asked us to negotiate in the Tavern of the Elves?" Aaron motioned for Nestia to sit down first: "In which restaurant, or the club on the third floor?" ”

"Neither." A sly smile appeared on Nesdia's bewitching face, "So I said, luckily." ”

"The place where the Knights of the Shield meet us is below."

"The underground of the Elven Song Tavern!"

…………

Three hours later, the Elven Song Tavern, underground storage room.

Aaron, Nestia, and Anomin struggled to navigate through boxes of fruit, skewers of bacon hanging from the beams of the house, vats of drinking water, syrup, olive oil, and wine sealed in wooden barrels.

There is no light in the storage room, and the light is very dim.

"What a stinky brother, let my sister come for troublesome things, and let your little priest and your warlock sister enjoy the luxurious suite, why didn't I see you little villain before?"

Dressed in a leather suit and high boots, Nestia uses dance-like moves to avoid all kinds of ingredients in the air, and she doesn't forget to laugh with Aaron.

"This kind of thing, others can't do it, only Sister Nestia can come." Aaron said with a smile as he brushed away the bacon that was reverberating in the air with his hand.

"Interesting, I didn't expect the Knights of the Shield to be in the basement of our tavern." Anomin flickered in a vat full of syrup: "A lot of mice! ”

From time to time, rats could be seen on the floor of the storeroom, and a rat really bit a piece of bacon and circled in the air by inertia, and was unwilling to let go until the moment it was pinched to death by Annomin.

"If we don't deal with these issues as soon as possible, there will be more and more rats." Aaron narrowed his eyes: "Nestia, did the other party say how to connect?" ”

"Well, if I'm not mistaken......" Nestia fumbled open a door as she fumbled open a door as she fumbled her way open a door.

There is a large wine storage room, with two or three hundred bottles of fine wine in the cupboard, and several huge barrels that are taller than a person embedded in the walls.

Sister Darkspirit found the second large wine barrel from the left, found the button on the lower edge of the large wine barrel, and pressed it gently.

"Gacha~" The sound of mechanical rotation immediately came from inside the large wine barrel.

The barrel was not opened, as if waiting for something.

Both Aaron and Annomin looked at Nestia.

I saw the dark spirit sister smile suddenly, a hint of playfulness flashed in her mature and charming scarlet eyes, her small hand with black silk gloves gently tapped twice on the wine barrel, and spit out the agreed code words from her full red lips.

"Help me, Mr. Bodean!"

"Click~Click~"

The giant barrel opens outward, revealing a passage inside.

Torches hang on both sides of the stone tunnel, and four stone statues stand on either side of the tunnel, in the image of a standard knight, the only notable thing is that their shields have special coats of arms.

An open eye.

Aaron knew that there weren't many nobles or kingdoms that used eyes as their coat of arms, and that few gods liked to use eyes as their emblems, except for Heim's vigilant eye.

If there is one god who likes to use his eyes the most, it is undoubtedly Tzeentch, whose emblem is the eyes that open in the midst of colorful flames.

However, in fact, in the early days of the Human Empire, the eyes were also used as holy emblems, which were called "Emperor's Eyes", and in the early 30K Great Expedition era, many primordial bodies had this kind of decoration, such as the emperor's son primordial Fugen, the thousand sons primordial Magnus, and the warlord Horus had eye decorations on their bodies.

It was only after the Great Rebellion of 30K that this decoration was naturally as taboo as the Second Empire.

To some extent, this is also evidence that the Emperor was once chosen by the Four Gods of Chaos.

The stone tunnel is not long, and at the end of the stairs about twenty or thirty meters down, there is a thick wood-clad iron double door, and when you open the gate, the scenery in front of you suddenly opens up.

In the middle of the stone hall, which is more than three hundred square meters, there is a round table with eight seats around the round table forming the core of the hall, and there are some furniture around the hall, similar to office compartments and bookcases, a row of weapons hanging on shelves, several sets of standard shield knight armor are framed, and there is a small altar dedicated to a certain celestial oracle, but if you look closely, you will find that the face of the celestial oracle is blurred and somewhat ...... Uncanny.

There were already a few people in the hall, all dressed in black robes and metal skull masks on their faces.

This dress Aaron is all too familiar.

Bal believers?!

Behind the Knights of the Shield is the Church of Baal?

The black-robed skeleton man was not surprised by the appearance of Aaron and the others, and the leader was originally admiring the portrait of Bodean, the founder of the Baldur's Gate, when he saw someone coming, the black-robed skeleton did not reply: "Where's the thing?" Did you bring it? ”

Stuff?

Wait, it wasn't us looking for you to ask for Bod'an's charts, why are you looking for something now?

Aaron and Nestia glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"We're ready." The black-robed skeleton man motioned for the two black-robed men behind him to come up, each holding a suitcase.

This made Aaron even more puzzled, the two sides had not talked about the transaction amount of the chart before, right?

At this point, Aaron motioned for Ann Normin to take the money, and the demon prince stepped forward and lifted the bag full of gold coins.

The black-robed skeleton masked man nodded, and he motioned for his subordinates to open the suitcase, and at the same time took out the knife himself and swiped it lightly on the bag.

The bag broke, and a large amount of gold fell to the ground.

"You guys?" An Nuoming was obviously a little annoyed, and he didn't feel a trace of respect in the actions of the black-robed skeleton man.

However, the next scene made Aaron and the others even more strange.

When the black-robed skeleton man slipped open the bag, their suitcases opened at the same time, revealing a row of golden tickets branded with the emblem of the goddess of joy, Lierla.

The golden ticket in the box, the gold coins in the bag, the black-robed skeleton man and Aaron and the others stared widely.

Aaron: "? ”

Black-robed skeleton: "??? ”

Aaron thought to himself, I'm here to trade the Bodian charts, what do you want to do?

How did you make such a secret joint as if the two parties were making an underground transaction of changing change for whole money?

The black-robed skeleton man obviously had exactly the same doubts as Aaron and the others, and after looking at each other for a while, these Bal believers finally couldn't help but speak: "Emperor, this is different from what we said. ”

The Emperor? Emperor？

Does the Lord of Humanity still have a deal with Baal?

Aaron was even more confused, he could only look at Nestia, after all, it was the Darkspirit sister who was in charge of connecting with the Shield Knights.

Nestia took a step forward: "What about Lady Julia?" I'm here to talk about the deal! Is this how the Knights of the Shield treat their guests? ”

"It seems that you are not the emperor." The Bal believers understood now, and the black-robed skeleton man led by him made a gesture: "The question is simple. ”

The suitcases were closed, and the black-robed people unsheathed their blades.

"Kill them."

…………

The mirror on the wall mirrored the confrontation in the underground secret hall in a crystal ball, and the head of the glamorous and famous Lady Julia of the Baldeonist was entwined with nimble octopus whiskers, her eyes were white, and her tongue was sticking out.

A perfect mind flayer watched the battle in the underground hall while using its tentacles to wrap around the brain of the noble lady of Bodezong.

"If you want to get the Bodian chart, you have to show value."

"Which of you is more valuable, Tuckers or Aaron?"

"I think I'll find out soon."

Updated, ask for a ticket duck~
