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 big 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 wall and the mage tower.
The temple on the right dedicated to Ogma, the god of knowledge, and his followers is connected by a white marble road.
Edna smiled softly.
Black Eyes is so powerful that he actually turned this famous library, which was originally composed of Ogma believers, into one half owned by Magic Network believers and one half owned by knowledge scholars.
Although followers of the Magic Weave can only live in the Great Library and the Underground Fortress... the real magical defense center of Candlekeep is the underground fortress.
And the famous mirror library... was originally in a certain dimension exclusive to the God of Knowledge... and is now connected to the large study room in Joseph Garden.
And to obtain these benefits, the only price Heitong paid was Azuth's magic encyclopedia, which could also be obtained by the high priests of the God of Knowledge.
Anyway, Azuth 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 wizards not by relying on his black pupil, but by himself.
He is strong enough and is indeed a good teacher.
Countless young mages have found their future path from him.
If it weren't for the fact that the black-eyed archmage he fell in love with turned out to be the goddess of magic, the path he would have chosen would have been that of Elminster.
Edna frowned slightly. The current person in charge of Candlekeep, the Scroll Guardian Urlant... the entire Faerûn continent knows what an arrogant and arrogant prophecy mage he is. It is rare that he is not sitting here at this moment.
Instead of waiting for someone to meet him in his study, he stood at the door of the big library.
Edna turned her head and thought for a moment... Scroll Mage relies on Azuth's encyclopedia in many aspects. It is normal for Urlant to come out after taking up this profession.
She organized her words in her mind, but was shocked to find that the other party just looked at DeVos and the others with a cold, arrogant and contemptuous look, nodded coldly to Leonard, and showed her a reserved and cold smile.
: "Welcome to Candlekeep, I wish you can find elegance and happiness in books."
Then he walked slowly towards the gate.
"Ah, such an inexpressive and insincere greeting... Fortunately, Edna's identity is very intimidating!" Nasr said sinisterly, "Otherwise, would we have been kicked out after taking the money?"
"Doesn't it mean that after getting the reading certificate, you can stay in Candlekeep for ten days?" Leonard asked softly.
"No more than ten days." Nasr sneered twice, "If the volume guardian doesn't like you, your visit can be ended in an instant.
Of course, if you take out 10,000 gold coins at a time, he will never look down upon you.
In the past! In this big library, books are more important than human lives. Anyone who has the ability to destroy knowledge, whether with ink, fire, or sword, will bring about his own destruction.
Now! Gold is more important than books.
As long as he had enough money, he would have dared to sell it!"
"Ogma...don't you care?" Luca asked a little heartbroken.
Nasr looked at him in surprise: "You don't know? Ever since the predecessor Mystra took away half of the management rights of Candlekeep from Ogma, Ogma has not paid much attention to the affairs here.
Haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer scroll scholars in Silvermoon City?
Although Ogma is willing to admit defeat, he can't do more for Candlekeep... Originally, if Black Eyes were still there, she should have her own way to restore the God of Knowledge. Miriel wouldn't
Is he her close friend?
With this singer here, Black Eyes can always find a way to make Ogma no longer angry.
As a result, she died before that.
After that, it was a bit close to being independent.
Now, hey, hey, it's so easy to take advantage of her.
Otherwise, how can a volume guardian who is not even extraordinary have such high power?"
Edna raised her head and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Ah, the sun is so bright today."
The front hall where they were standing was open from the ground floor to the top of the castle. The arc-shaped crystal glass windows seemed to have the magic of concentrated light. Some people were sitting on the scattered benches in the front hall and bowed their heads.
Read the book carefully.
"Ah... this... a place like Candlekeep that does not allow visitors to write in the library, why does it have to create this kind of reading hall?" DeVos asked a little puzzled, "Didn't magic candles always be used in the past?
Are you following?"
"Well..." the arcane mage who had been leading the way, who had been silent all this time, said calmly, "I remember you are from Aglaia?"
"That's right~" 'Xueyunfeng' walked forward with a smile, "How to pull it?"
"Lord Aglaia copied almost half of the books in Candlekeep." The arcane mage answered softly, "During that time, each of us had to copy until we went crazy. Under the candlelight, our eyes were really tired.
Urland was worried that someone would stop writing, so he specially asked someone to change the front hall to what it is now...so that he could complete all his orders within three years.
Thanks to your lord, everyone is living a good life now.
It's still early, so no one has come out yet. In the morning, it's my own magic time.
When lunch is over, someone will float their own table and chairs to find a place."
Edna looked at him in confusion...and then realized that ink could only be used on tables with magic circles carved on them.
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.
She knows very well how wealthy Lord Aglaia is... He is a big boss who earns at least 500,000 gold a day!
If Hill hadn't had a conservative style of doing things, hey, there would have been no problem buying Candlekeep.
There is nothing surprising about the undead. The price of copying here in Candlekeep is nothing to them.
What they want to know more is... "Then... what is Mr. Urlant doing?"
"Then who knows." The arcane mage said disapprovingly, "Anyway, it was inevitable that some big shot was coming, so he simply went to the door to wait.
I don’t know who came to Candlekeep last night, even Mirimu came out.
Urland communicated with them until the early hours of the morning and was always very excited."
"Ah?" Luca reacted... In the Sword Coast now, there is only one thing that can make a powerful person in charge of Candlekeep so excited. "Is Ogma going crazy?"
"If there is only Urlant, then it probably won't happen." Nasr said softly, "The reason why this guy got to the position is because he is a mage, a prophet, and a polymath all at the same time.
They happen to belong to two factions.
So it's normal for him to want to participate. After all, wasn't it because he was able to suppress the authentic volume scholar because he was inclined to the Magic Network?
If the first reader...the most knowledgeable sage in this monastery, the person who is specifically in charge of Ogma Monastery, is involved, then Ogma will be furious."
"The Knowledge God System obviously doesn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter." Leonard said softly, otherwise, his brother would be the best entry point.
The arcane mage leading the way turned and looked at them: "Are you talking about the road of destiny?"
"The people who possess Mystra's soul fragment are following us." Edna said with a smile, "A larger fragment, along with a group of fragments, is about to enter Candlekeep."
"In front is the inner room, where all the high-level spell books are." The arcane mage felt that his feet had their own ideas and didn't want to move anymore... He was actually a little panicked, "The badges you are wearing are all Great Readers.
You can enter most areas of the Great Library at will, except for a few secret rooms, and that can only be done with Urlant's permission.
I...have something else to do, sorry, I'll excuse you now."
He nodded apologetically to Edna and the others, and then quickly disappeared into the corridor... Who didn't have a few friends anymore, so he quickly informed them and those who needed to run ran away.
Waterdeep cannot even be called a ruin now!
If something happened to them, it would be worse than the people in Waterdeep City. At least the people in Waterdeep City would have packed up their families and run away!
Damn it! Is the dimensional bag he's wearing too small?
"There are so many mechanisms in Candlekeep." Looking at the place where the mage disappeared, Nasr said thoughtfully, "It's a little troublesome to get in!"
"Reinforce your professional habits, which can easily cause misunderstandings." Edna reminded lightly, "Let's read a book first! Find what you want most first... I estimate that time... is quite tight.
Hurry up and read every book you can."
"You guys go to the internal mage library!" "Perfect Bald" said a little depressed, "Since I took the exam, I vowed never to read any books related to any profession again.
The few of us who are unlearned can just look through the picture albums outside."
‘Xue Yunfeng’ thought for a while with a struggling look on his face, but in the end he still did not give up his responsibilities: “It’s best for legal professions to go in, there may be special rewards, including priests.
For the rest, feel free to do whatever you want...be careful not to cause trouble.
Of course, if someone is looking for trouble, then report your identity first...if you are not honest, then apply for war.
As long as it is a legitimate counterattack, William will not refuse!
But! It must be legal! Do you understand?"
"No problem~ We understand~" 'Nan Feng' replied happily and took the lead in running away.
"I think what he heard and what I heard may be different." DeVos asked Xueyunfeng gently, "Or what you said was different from the beginning?"
"Humans! You have to know how to adapt to changes." 'Xueyunfeng' said cheerfully, "Everyone you see is lovely Edna.
I don’t like it. Isn’t that Rose?
No one wants to step into a shithole, but if it explodes, it will explode, right?"
"I... don't like this analogy very much." Edna, who was walking at the front, turned around and condemned unhappily.
