Chapter 650

"Martha, can you tell me more about candleburg?"

Qin Lun's eyes flickered. When he was near millaras before, the well-known Prince of the Japanese elves introduced him to many famous events and regions in the land of Fillon, including the contents of candlelight castle, but only a few words, including the detailed internal information, which millaras himself did not know.

"Of course!" It's not surprising that the prince of the moon elves in front of him doesn't know about Candlestick castle.

In fact, although candleburg is well-known in the mainland of Phelan, most of the people who know it are knowledgeable historians and arcane researchers. Ordinary people, even the aristocracy of various countries, don't know this place very well. They only know that this place is a fortress library occupied by arcane scholars.

Candleburg and belgost, an important trading city of the Bay coast highway, face each other across the sea.

This gathering place of knowledge stands on the high cliff overlooking Jianwan. It is a hexagonal pyramid fortress, with a mage tower at the angle of each two sides.

It used to be the home of the great prophet and the great sage "arando". The great library here keeps many historical predictions he made to Phelan, the most famous one of which is about the appearance of the mallow.

Candleburg used to be a small gathering place for scholars studying the prediction of allandou. With more and more research works and knowledge inheritance left here, it has gradually become a famous library and arcane Holy Land in the whole continent.

(the arcane magic here refers not only to magic, but also to all fields related to magic, such as enchantment, alchemy, magical creatures, Ancient Runes and divinity. There are also popular academic fields such as philosophy, music, architecture, forging, political economy, etc.)

There are two costs for outsiders to enter the castle, one is a large number of gold coins, and the other is a solitary book of knowledge or literature that candlelight Castle does not have. It is usually said on the mainland that a new book is to be provided to candlelight castle.

The candlestick castle is surrounded by powerful multiple protection spells to ensure that nothing but wicks and wax oil burns, and that no piece of paper can burn in the castle. The protection also blocks destructive spells, kills bacteria and moths, and prohibits anyone who does not wear the candle Castle sign from entering the central library.

However, this kind of protection magic covering the whole fortress consumes magic crystal extremely, so the annual maintenance cost is an astronomical figure.

There is an absolute rule in candleburg: "anyone who destroys knowledge, whether using ink, fire or sword, will destroy himself. Here, books are more important than human life! "

There are two kinds of resident people in candlelight castle. One is research scholars. They usually wear monk clothes and show more loyalty than the most devout religious believers. They call themselves knowledge promoters and disseminators, and entrust agents to purchase some precious books and texts.

Another resident of candleburg is arcane researchers, who are usually powerful magicians and sages. They signed a contract with the propagandists of the past dynasties. The candleburg provided them with the books and knowledge they needed and the high tower laboratory, while they provided the candleburg with force protection.

Among them, the most powerful one is called volume guardian, and his assistant is called the first reader. He is not only the second power in tradition, but also the most knowledgeable sage and diviner in Candlestick castle.

Under them are other big readers, chanters, professors, and tower guards.

The central tower of candleburg, the central library, is surrounded by beautiful gardens, surrounded by other buildings. It includes visitors' residences, Griffin stables, barns, sundry warehouses, hospitals, ogmar Abbey (God of knowledge), as well as a temple of Danielle, gonde and milier, with the hexagonal walls and mage tower on the outside.

Visitors are usually allowed to stay in Candlestick for ten days at a time, and cannot enter again for one month after leaving. Visitors are not allowed to write in the library, but can entrust scholars here to copy.

The price of each common manuscript is 100 gold coins, and the price of magic books and some precious documents is higher, usually between hundreds and hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Forbidden spells are not allowed to be read or outflow.

The most precious documents of candleburg are usually kept in the underground labyrinth storage room. There are also the tombs of scholars who have contributed their lives to knowledge.

Although these scholars will not regard books as burial objects when they die, their tombs often leave personal heritage items and magic notes, which is absolutely precious wealth. In general, only their recognized heirs can take them out of the tomb.

The defense here is so tight that no one can actually enter the candlelight castle from the underground maze. Even if a legendary thief enters here, he will face miriamu, the strongest guard in the maze.

Miremo is the ghost of an ancient silver dragon, which was bound here by the great warlock TOLES thousands of years ago to protect the scholars, buildings and books of candlestick castle. Supported by the protection array of candlestick castle, miriamu is the immortal spirit. Unless the whole Candlestick castle is destroyed by forbidden spells, even if it is defeated, it will die and come back to life in a short time.

However, miremo usually does not kill the intruder, her soul is too lonely, so she prefers to talk rather than fight, and often appears in front of the visitors, exchanging information about the major events in modern times with the historical legends she knows.Of course, if you plan to cheat Miriam with false information, or attack her. Then the ghost of the silver dragon will not hesitate to throw out a lot of dragon language magic, and directly blow you into slag.

The other thing to be aware of when facing Miriam is that you can't carry books with you, whether it's from candlelight castle or your own. The ghost of the silver dragon will insist on your surrender and return the book to the candleholder.

(in Miriam's view, all books belong to candleburg, which inherits the tyranny and evil taste of all ancient Dragons: mine is mine, yours is mine.)

Every volume in candleburg has at least one copy, and there is a rumor that a complete "mirror library" is hidden somewhere in Phelan. All the books of candlelight castle have the symbol of the castle - the tower with candlelight on the top.

……

"Linda, is candleburg's stronghold in the Bode gate area ahead?" Martha asked, turning her head.

"It's not a big stronghold. It's just a relay station for transferring magic materials." "My teacher also has some investment here. We can borrow their hornhawk to go back to Candlestick castle and save you some precious time," Linda said

When they heard the words and looked at the hillside ahead, they could hear some hawk like chirps in the sparse woodland.

At this time, they have been half a day away from the troll's claw. With the help of the giant eagle that illistin turned into, a group of people left the top of the waterfall cliff without any danger, which was a real escape from the troll mountain.

The blood stabbing trio, the old steward of Xifo and Mason have parted ways with them. In order to express his gratitude, Qin Lun gave some gold coins from the amboli church to the three of Rick, and some of them were left to Xifo Hulan, who was once again destitute in order to save people.

As a matter of fact, the three apostles now followed Martha, and could not use the gold coins to dot the road. Anyway, the gold coins were useless for the apostles, so it was better to give them to Rick and others to make a good impression on the highland elves and Linda.

As for whether to pay after arriving at Candlelight castle, Qin Lun and others don't need to worry about it. Even without Linda, Martha would have found a solution.

Rick and SiVo didn't refuse the gift. Whether the Knights return to the kingdom of Xia or SiVo rebuild the caravan, they need a lot of money.

The only thing that surprised Qin Lun was that idriya had gone through so many tribulations and had to follow them to the north. Ms. lawita's followers were indeed crazy and masochistic.

Because the conspiracy of the santalin society is close at hand, Qin Lun and other people have to go on the road again and rush to the place in front of them when they leave the troll's claw, or even have no time to feel the sadness of parting with their friends.

This is the closest Candlestick stronghold to the northern exit of the troll's claw. It keeps more than ten adult horned Eagles for transporting valuables. Generally, it is precious books and documents, magic materials and alchemy articles used in mage tower.

After climbing the hillside, a simple double-layer wooden house appeared in front of the public, in front of which was a small horned Eagle stable. Although it's a small Eagle stable with more than ten eagles, the eagles belong to large flying birds. They usually have a large range of activities and cover a large area than the stables.

"Miss Linda! Aren't you supposed to be in candleburg at this time? " The magic apprentice stationed in the wooden house obviously knew Linda and was surprised to see her.

"Hey, Lasco!" Linda's expression was very unnatural. Obviously, she thought of the teacher's anger in the magician. "It's a long story. I'd better prepare some food for us first. I'm starving! And get some holy water No. 7 for some of my companions. They are all seriously injured. "

Leaving the heavy burden of more than half a month behind, Qin Lun felt that this time of sleep was very sweet. Even with his self-discipline, it was dusk the next day when he opened his eyes again. The others were no better than him, and had to stay in the cottage for another night.

However, the rest is necessary. Although the medical effect of holy water 7 is strong, it will take some time to work. In particular, elistin and Idria, who suffered a lot, have not fully recovered from their dark injuries even now.

On the third day, at dawn, the people finally regained their spirits, mounted the horned eagle and ascended into the sky, and began to fly towards the holy land of knowledge - candleburg.
