Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1142: The Oghma Believers Who Are About to Step on the Tightrope

Candlekeep is indeed as majestic and luxurious as its legend says.

Following the arcane scholar who guided them through the beautiful garden, Edna walked towards the large white library in the middle and looked around... Behind the tall trees at the end of the garden, a circle of buildings and buildings could be vaguely seen. The outer hexagonal city wall and the mage's tower.

The temple on the right, dedicated to Oghma, the god of knowledge, and his followers are connected by a white marble road.

Edna smiled slightly.

Heitong is really fierce, and turned this famous library originally composed of Oghma believers into a magic net believer and knowledge scholar.

Although followers of the magic net can only live in the Great Library and the underground fortress... But the real magic defense center of Candlekeep is the underground fortress.

And that famous mirrored library...was originally in the exclusive dimension of a certain god of knowledge...now it is also connected with the big study in Joseph Garden.

And to obtain these benefits, the only price Hei Tong paid was Azuth's spell encyclopedia, which the high priest of the God of Knowledge could also obtain.

Anyway, Azus doesn't care about his achievements being shared. He likes the feeling of sharing the latest spells with people who know how to appreciate them... Azus can become the god of mages not because of his black pupils, but because of himself Strong enough, and indeed a good teacher.

Countless little mages have found their way to the future from him.

If it weren't for the fact that the black-eyed archmage who fell in love turned out to be the goddess of magic, the path he chose would only be that of Elminster.

Edna frowned slightly. The current person in charge of Candlekeep, the guardian of the volume, Urlante... the entire Faerun continent knows what an arrogant and arrogant prophecy mage he is. Instead of waiting for someone to meet in his study, he stood at the door of the big library.

Edna turned her head and thought about it... The scroll mage relies on Azuth's encyclopedia in many aspects, so it's normal for Urlant, who has taken up this profession, to come out.

She organized the words in her mind, but was shocked to find that the other party just looked at De Weis and the others coldly and contemptuously, nodded coldly to Leonard, and showed her a reserved and indifferent smile : "Welcome to Candlekeep, may you find grace and happiness in your books."

Then he walked slowly towards the gate.

"Ah, such insincere and insincere greetings...Fortunately, Edna's identity is very intimidating!" Nasr said eccentrically, "Otherwise, would we have to be kicked out after taking the money?"

"Didn't it mean that after obtaining the reading certificate, you can stay in Candlekeep for ten days?" Leonard asked softly.

"No more than ten days." Nasr sneered twice, "If that tome guardian doesn't like you, your visit can end instantly.

Of course, if you take out 1 gold coins at a time, he will never dislike you.

Before!In this large library, books are more important than human life. Anyone who has the ability to destroy knowledge, no matter whether he uses ink, fire or sword, will kill himself.

now!Gold is more important than books.

As long as the money is enough, he would dare to sell it! "

"Oghma...doesn't care about it?" Luca asked with a bit of heartache.

Nasr looked at him in surprise: "You don't know? Since the former Mystra took half of the management rights of Candlekeep from Oghma, Oghma didn't care much about the affairs here.

Haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer scroll scholars in Silvermoon City?

Although Oghma is willing to gamble and admit defeat, it is impossible for him to do more things for Candlekeep... Originally, if the black pupil is still there, she should have her own way to restore the God of Knowledge. Is it her close friend?
With this singer around, Heitong can always find a way to stop Oghma from being angry.

As a result, she fell before that again.

After that, it's kind of close to no matter what.

Now that one~ Hehe~ It's too easy to take advantage of her loopholes.

Otherwise, how could a guardian of the volume who didn't even have a supernatural power have such a high power. "

Edna raised her head and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Ah, the sun is so bright today."

The vestibule where they were standing was opened from the ground floor to the top floor of the castle. The arc-shaped crystal glass windows seemed to be enchanted with the magic of concentrating light. Some people were sitting on the scattered benches in the vestibule and lowered their heads. Read carefully.

"Ah... this... a place like Candlekeep that doesn't allow visitors to write in the library, why did you create this kind of reading hall?" De Weiss asked a little puzzled, "Didn't magic candles be used before?" Follow along?"

"Hmm..." The silent arcane mage leading the way said lightly, "I remember you are from Aglaia?"

"That's right~" 'Xueyunfeng' walked forward with a smile, "How do you pull it?"

"Lord Aglaia copied almost half of the books in Candlekeep." The arcane mage replied softly, "During that time, each of us had to copy until we went crazy, and our eyes were a little tired under the candlelight.

Urlant was worried that someone would stop writing, so he specially asked someone to change the front hall to what it is now... Only in this way can he complete all his orders within three years.

Thanks to your lord, everyone is doing well now.

It's still early, so no one has come out yet. In the morning, it's my spell time.

When lunch is over, someone will float their own exclusive table and chairs to find a place. "

Edna looked at him in bewilderment...and then realized that ink could only be used on those tables carved with magic circles.

As for whether Hill spent millions or even tens of millions of gold coins in Candlekeep, what's the problem?
That's not a problem.

How rich and powerful Lord Aglaia really is... She knows very well... He is a big boss who earns at least 50 gold a day!
If it weren't for Hill's more conservative style of work, tsk, it would be no problem to buy Candlekeep.

The undead are no surprise, the price of transcription here in Candlekeep is not an issue at all in their eyes.

What they want to know more is... "Then... what is Mr. Urland doing?"

"Then who knows." The arcane mage said disapprovingly, "Anyway, there must be some important person coming, so he simply waited at the door.

I don't know who came to Candlekeep last night, even Miriam came out.

Urlant communicated with them until the early hours of the morning, always acting very excited. "

"Ah?" Luca came to his senses... In the current Sword Coast, there is only one thing that can make a person in charge of Candlekeep so excited. "Will Oghma go mad?"

"If only Urlante is the only one, then probably not." Nasr said softly, "The reason why this guy can take the position is because he is a mage, a prophet and a polymath.

It happens to belong to two factions.

So it's normal if he wants to participate in it. After all, isn't it because he is inclined to the magic net that he can suppress the authentic tome scholar?

If the first reader... is the most knowledgeable sage in this monastery, the person who is in charge of the Oghma Monastery is involved, and Oghma will be angry. "

"The God of Knowledge obviously doesn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter." Leonard said in a low voice, otherwise, his brother's place is the best entry point.

The arcane mage leading the way turned and looked at them: "You are talking about the path of destiny?"

"The person who owns Mystra's soul fragment is following us." Edna said with a smile, "A larger fragment, with a group of fragments, is about to enter Candlekeep."

"The front is the inner room, where the high-level spell books are." The arcane mage felt that his feet had a mind of his own, and he didn't want to move anymore... He was really a little panicked, "The badges you carry are all great readers, Most areas of the Great Library can be entered at will, except for a few secret rooms, and that is only possible with Urlant's permission.

I... still have something to do, sorry, excuse me first. "

He nodded apologetically to Edna and her group, and then quickly disappeared into the corridor... Who doesn't have many friends yet, please let me know quickly, and run if you have to.

Waterdeep City, it can't even be called a ruin now!
If something happened to them, it would be worse than those people in Shui Shui City, at least those people in Shui Shui City would have already dragged their families and pack their bags and run away!

damn it!Is the dimensional bag on his body too small?
"There are so many traps in Candlekeep." Looking at the place where the mage disappeared, Nasr said thoughtfully, "It's a bit troublesome to get in!"

"Regarding your professional habits may easily cause misunderstandings." Edna reminded lightly, "Let's read the books first! Find what you want the most...the estimated time...is quite urgent.

Hurry up and read one book at a time. "

"Go to the mage's library inside!" 'Perfect Bald' said a little depressed, "I swore never to read any books related to any profession since I finished the examination.

Those of us who are ignorant, just look through the picture album outside. "

'Xue Yunfeng' struggled and thought for a while, but in the end he still didn't give up his responsibilities: "It's better for legal professions to go in, there may be special rewards, including priests.

For the rest, feel free... Be careful, don't cause trouble.

Of course, if someone finds fault, they should report their identity first... If they are not honest, they should apply for war.

As long as it is a legal counterattack, William will not refuse!
but!Must be legal!do you understand? "

"No problem~we understand~"'Nanfeng' replied happily, and took the lead to run away.

"I think what he heard may not be the same as what I heard." De Weiss asked 'Xue Yunfeng' gently, "Or what you said was different from the beginning?"

"Human! You have to know how to adapt to changing circumstances." 'Xue Yunfeng' said happily, "It's pleasing to the eye, everyone is lovely Edna.

It's not pleasing to the eye, isn't that Rose?

No one wants to step on a shithole, but if it blows up, it blows up, right? "

"I... don't like this kind of analogy very much." Edna, who was walking in the front, turned her head and condemned unhappily.

　No visitor can stay in Candlekeep for more than ten days at a time, and cannot re-enter for a month after leaving.Visitors are not allowed to write in the library, but the monks here can make copies for you for a fee.A copy costs 100 gp, and a copy of a spellbook or document with spells, spell formulas, or descriptions of spell rituals, protection from spells, and mantras, or similar content, costs 10000 gp each.

The guards who guard the ancient tombs and storage caverns below Candlekeep are so conscientious that few intruders can actually enter Candlekeep this way.Few people know that this guardian dragon was once the silver dragon Miriam.She is bound here by Grand Warlock Torth to protect the monks, buildings, and books of Candlekeep.Mirimu is now a ghost of an ancient silver dragon who regenerates 48 hours after being destroyed.Miriam relentlessly defends Candlekeep, but her soul is too lonely to talk rather than fight.She exchanges the legends she knows for information about events happening in modern times.

Anyone who tries to deceive Miriam or surprise her will enrage the dragon, and she will throw all the spells she knows at these tricksters in anger, and attack them violently.If she discovers that the entrants are carrying any books, the dragonguard insists that they surrender and return the books "correctly" to Candlekeep (all books, in her opinion, belong to Candlekeep).
