Like the Amn capital Askatra, Baldur's Gate is also located at the intersection of land and water.
It is connected to the Trade Highway to the north, the Chongsa River to the south, and to the west it is as steep as a cliff for hundreds or thousands of miles, as if it has been split vertically by a sword. From here, all the way to Waterdeep, there is no coastline to any port.
This kind of geographical environment...
If Baldur's Gate's prosperity is rooted in their all-encompassing policies, this geographical advantage is definitely the prerequisite for their rise!
"Pedestrians please use the passage on the right."
"Goods take the middle road."
"Visitors arriving for the first time can come here to get the shopping guide."
"Anyone in need of moving services..."
The dock of Baldur's Gate is located in the inner bay of Chongsa River, which intersects with the Sea of Swords. This is not only because of the topographic factors along the coast of the Sea of Swords, but also because the port in the inner bay is more convenient to prevent attacks, regardless of whether the attack comes from
As for the fleet, there are still those evil underwater monsters.
When the passenger ship enters the inner bay and anchors at the pier.
From the pier, in a wooden structure like a sentry box, a trumpet-like sound spread immediately.
Then the crew members began to guide the passengers in an orderly manner, and some even thoughtfully presented exquisite cards one after another. On the cards, there were things like "Rock Castle Copper Hammer Workshop", "Fire Fist Private Security", and so on.
"Roland Winery" also solves transportation problems and physiological needs...
Everything is organized, novel and considerate. As long as you pay for it, any kind of service can be provided for you!
Even though we haven't landed yet, we are just looking around.
Whether it was Isaac or the kid who walked out of Wellen City for the first time, it was obvious that he felt an unusual smell.
It's like... this is a place with a completely different order from Nature's Green and Wellen City!
"No wonder people say that Baldur's Gate is more open than Waterdeep."
“But order and openness are integrated here in an all-encompassing way!”
While boarding the dock, Isaac's eyes turned to the dock posts, the groups of guards wearing unique black helmets decorated with red stripes on both sides.
With his eyes, he could tell at a glance that these guards included not only humans, but also elves and half-elves. Dwarves were all involved, and there were even half-orcs among them.
And their weapons and equipment...are obviously high-quality products, especially those armors with the same workshop logo.
Isaac's eyes turned over these guards, and finally stopped at the defense facility pointing toward the water.
In his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but move, and something strange lit up.
It is completely different from traditional giant crossbows and bulky trebuchets.
Although the core structure is covered up by defense projects.
But Isaac only looked at the thick giant tube, only at the wheeled structure, which seemed to be a structure that could easily adjust the angle and orientation...
"interesting!"
"Is it the result of the 'Palace of Supreme Miracles'?"
"Has it reached this level?"
His eyes lit up and he narrowed slightly at the same time, and some thoughts flashed through Isaac's mind.
It is said that the sect of the Goddess of Magic has a close relationship with the churches of gods who hold the priesthood of "knowledge", such as the God of Knowledge, the God of Literature, and the Goddess of Music.
However, there has always been a disagreement with the sect of the God of Crafts, and this is the root cause...
"Sir, shall we settle in a hotel, or arrange a private residence?"
Following the flow of people, the four of them were already walking outside the pier.
Beasley followed behind, asking for instructions in a low voice.
"No need to prepare anything special."
"I won't stay here for long, so I'll just stay at the hotel."
Isaac stopped certain thoughts from unfolding.
Baldur's Gate has never been a magical holy place. The only thing he wanted to visit was the temple of the God of Craftsmanship. Everything else was just a walk by for a few observations, but there was no need to waste too much here.
time.
Beasley nodded in response, almost immediately knowing his destination.
He is in charge of the intelligence agency and has specially accompanied this trip. Naturally, he needs to understand and master the key cities along the way in advance.
At that moment, he quickened his pace a little, recognized the street briefly, and then pointed the direction.
Barrett and Heath naturally followed closely.
Especially Heath, as he quickened his pace, he didn't forget to look around, and from time to time something strange flashed across his eyes.
If he hadn't been picked up by the cheap teacher, this city, which seemed to be more prosperous than Wellen City, would have been his future place of struggle.
If this is the case, how can he gain a foothold here?
It seems...not very friendly!
When a group of guards with red stripes and black helmets patrolled across the street, it could be seen that they were constantly scanning the surroundings with penetrating and stern eyes.
There was also a sense of joy in Heath's eyes.
According to his budget, when he first arrived here, he naturally had to use the "survival ability" he had been accustomed to since childhood to establish himself first.
But looking at the completely different order here from Willen City... if his "survival abilities" were used here, he would probably be in constant trouble!
Fortunately, now there is a cheap teacher to rely on...
In fact, when he was first picked up by the cheap teacher, Heath just wanted to submit temporarily and superficially.
Once given the opportunity, he would run away without hesitation.
But along the way, as Teacher Cheap began to teach him his true skills...
So delicious!
This is a much more advanced technique than trying to figure it out on his own...
The idea of running away was completely abandoned immediately!
Coupled with the ability to observe words and emotions that he has been proficient in since he was a child, he could vaguely see, at least from the attitude of "Uncle Beasley" who looked a bit "mixed"... His abilities, and the resulting...
Although the talent I came from has been valued by the cheap teacher, I am afraid that for this force that the cheap teacher wants to follow, I am afraid that it really does not have the qualifications to be specially designed!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And since it is not specially designed... Heath naturally doesn't mind hugging this thigh tightly!
This is much more reliable and much more reliable than his previous idea of gradually getting ahead in the Shadow Thieves Guild!
so……
"Shadow Assassin!"
"Teacher takes over!"
Walking in the noisy streets, seemingly looking left and right, Heath was constantly making decisions in his mind.
And this is the way to go.
Not on the boat, I have quickly gotten rid of the uncomfortable feeling of seasickness. I don’t know when...
"Um?"
An inexplicable feeling that I can't explain, I don't even know when it started.
Although Hisna was firm and cold, he still had a childlike look between his eyebrows...
A secret frown!
The beating of the heart seems to be a little accelerated.
The breathing rate is also a bit rapid.
Kind of...
I still can’t tell the specifics or the feeling of why.
It's equally hard to tell whether it's uncomfortable or not.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't explain it clearly, Heath would even wonder if it was because the boat was too weak and it was moving too fast, so he felt uncomfortable!
"It didn't appear until we got here..."
"What does Baldur's Gate have to do with me... my bloodline, or my abilities?"
"Or is it because of my bloodline and ability that I feel this way about something here?"
For a moment, Heath could only think of this.
After all, with his identity, only his bloodline and ability of unknown origin can do strange things!
His eyes changed secretly, but he didn't say any words.
And since he was walking to the side, no one could see the change in his expression.
Under Beasley's guidance, the group quickly walked into a stone castle hotel.
…
Baldur's Gate's Upper Town.
Unlike Amn, or the cities of Tethyr and Calinsay.
The upper town and lower town of Baldur's Gate, as well as the dock area, are not that kind of status division.
The upper city was the city when Baldur's Gate was first built. Because defensive facilities such as city walls were not pushed down, there were corresponding divisions with the lower city and dock area that were built later.
However, although it is not a division of status.
But because when it was first built, the castles and palaces of the four Grand Dukes were obviously within the upper city area, there is no doubt that this area must be the political center of the city.
at this time.
Uptown, one of the four most representative castles, even symbolizing the origin of Baldur's Gate.
A young aristocrat who looked to be no more than twenty years old and was a brave and energetic man.
Ben was undergoing routine swordsmanship training.
Suddenly...
First, his brows gradually furrowed, and then he quickly stopped training, sheathed his sword, and there was some abnormal beating of the heart, and even some kind of trembling effect on the blood...
"Has another dangerous guy arrived?"
"It's much stronger than the previous two inductions..."
"Hmph, do you really think of my place as a place where you can come and go at will?"
After a gloomy look in his eyes.
The young nobleman shouted: "Here comes someone!"
"Duke!"
In response, a whole team of guards immediately entered the training ground.
"Send the order and all guards will be on alert to investigate any abnormalities."
"Please invite President Ravenskan and Vice-President Scar to come to my place."
The young noble issued two orders.
The guards immediately took the order and left separately.
"Since the induction is so strong... let me see if you have arrived in person, and what exactly are you...?"
The young noble strode into the castle.
A soldier's firm pace and tough temperament.
However, the sun was gradually going west, and the shadow under his feet... seemed to be darker than the shadow of the castle.
…
Castle Inn.
As the name suggests, it is a hotel as solid as a castle.
After all, the magical world must be thick and sturdy enough to give travelers a sense of peace of mind.
In addition, the hotel also has a dwarf background. With the dwarf's expertise in the field of illusion, it has considerable advantages in dealing with certain emergencies.
The most important thing is that as long as there are gold coins of corresponding value, dwarfs can be absolutely trusted in providing services of corresponding value.
It is precisely because of this that this hotel with a dwarf background has become one of the most popular hotels in Baldur's Gate since it was built. It is also the most comprehensive and full-service hotel that has ever existed.
one!
For the pursuit of gold coins, Stone Castle Hotel not only provides high-quality services, but also has cooperative relationships with many well-known brands in Baldur's Gate.
Moreover, due to Gnome's reputation in this regard, they can even provide customers with unilateral commitment guarantees for brands that can cooperate with Stone Castle Hotel. Of course, the prerequisite for this guarantee is that they must first reach an agreement on their platform, and secondly
...If there is a guarantee, there will naturally be a corresponding price!
And this kind of place that can provide high-quality services is naturally a place where Beasley's spies will visit from time to time.
With the release of several signals.
Not even an hour passed.
Isaac and the others have just gotten ready.
A hotel waiter has already come to deliver a message, a friend has come to visit!
After getting confirmation.
Soon, a businessman came from the Northland and had settled in Baldur's Gate for several years.
After communicating with Beasley in code words and gestures, and corresponding with each other.
"I've seen the messenger!"
"I wonder what the messenger's instructions were when he called me here?"
This secret agent, who had only been engaged in business in the Dragon Worship Sect in his early years, immediately respectfully asked for instructions.
Just from the code words, he knew that this must be a high-level messenger coming from the headquarters.
"Two things."
Beasley nodded slightly: "First, prepare the information related to the 'Supreme Temple of Miracles', the bishop over there, the paladin over there, and all noteworthy people or things, and make them as complete as possible
, and prepare to come as soon as possible. I will receive them before tomorrow."
His Majesty has already said that he will not stay here for long, so Beasley has to speed up.
The supreme palace of wonders!
The businessman spy felt a little confident and nodded quickly: "I will complete the arrangement as soon as possible. Although it may not be absolutely perfect, I will list the well-known clergymen and famous inventors as completely as possible."
After all, he has settled here for several years, so he is naturally no stranger to the "Supreme Temple of Wonders" that affects all aspects of Baldur's Gate.
Beasley nodded slightly, then took out another secret letter and said, "The second thing is to arrange for a messenger to send this secret message back to the headquarters as quickly as possible."
It was also His Majesty's order to launch an investigation into the person who caused the riots in Port Willen. Beasley would not forget it at all, even if this order might be due to Barrett.
The businessman's spy received the secret letter and saw that the messenger had no further instructions. After agreeing on a time to deliver the information tomorrow, he immediately left.
And he just walked out of the hotel.
Outside the hotel, groups of black-helmeted guards could be seen patrolling and guarding various shops on the street.
