Chapter 239 Revealing Life Experience

The night at the Candlekeep Inn was as lively as ever. Scholars and mages who study and work here all get together to have a glass of wine and exchange their experiences with each other. Henry noticed that Sarevok was also among the crowd. After so many years, his appearance has not changed at all, but he looks more imposing than before.

After arguing with Aimon and Apodel for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. The next morning, they got up early and headed towards the library. As soon as I entered the gate, I met old Karen who had taught Henry here before. He told Abodai that a man named Sarevok was reading Alando's language aloud just now, and when they came over, this suspicious man left quietly immediately.

The old man's words aroused everyone's vigilance. After all, a lot of evidence directly or indirectly shows that Sarevok formulated and participated in most of the plans of the Iron Throne. The group didn't go far, and met Sildan and Jessop at the stairs leading to the second floor. These two old guys not only talked about Apodell's three-year-old bed-wetting and five-year-old pony's tail pulling, but also told the story of him playing tricks on Kyle.

Because the two broke too much news, the son of Baal finally raised a middle finger at the two old guys in anger, and quickly fled the scene with the others. Everyone laughed and chatted for a while about Apodell's childhood anecdotes, and then went up the stairs to the second floor. Suddenly, Salovek came over from behind the bookshelf. He claimed to be Ge Lian's contact person in Waterdeep City, and wanted to hand over a magic ring to Apodel.

Henry calmly forced him back with words. He doesn't want a tracking ring on a teammate's finger. As soon as Salovek left, a monk named Piedo came in front of everyone. He said that Ge Lian left a letter before leaving, and asked Aberdell to go and see it.

A group of people came to the room where Ge Lian used to live without stopping. And found the letter he left behind from the box. Looking at the shocked Apodell. Henry sighed slightly. The time to unravel the mystery has finally arrived. The letter not only detailed the identity of Baal's son, but also had malicious intentions in Sarevok.

Jiaxila noticed that Apodell's face was very ugly, and hurried over and asked, "How is it? What did Greian say psychologically?"

"He wrote in the letter that I... I am actually a son of Baal! No wonder I often lose control easily, and every time after killing, I have some strange dreams. It turns out that the divine nature of killing inside me is at work. Did you all know my life experience a long time ago, so you let me watch the "History of the Three Death Gods"?"

Jiaxila nodded helplessly and replied: "Yes, I knew about your life experience a long time ago. Ge Lian always hoped that you would live a normal life all your life, so we didn't tell this matter. But now it seems that we are a little too naive. There are always some people with ulterior motives who want to use you."

"The letter came to Sarevok who had been conducting research in Candlekeep for a long time. He knew my life experience like the back of his hand. It seems that we need to go to the meeting room of the Iron Throne to ask what these guys want to do." After speaking, Apodel drew out his weapon and hurried downstairs.

Jia Xila stretched out a hand to grab the impulsive guy, but it was in vain. She cursed Zhou in a low voice: "Damn it! We have to catch up quickly. Otherwise, if there is a conflict with the people of the Iron Throne, the guards of Candlekeep will arrest everyone." After speaking, she took the lead and quickly chased up.

Henry deliberately slowed down and walked at the end of the team. While others were not paying attention, he used the "Mage's Hand" to steal the book marked yesterday. There's going to be doppelgangers rampaging up Candlekeep in a little while anyway, as long as the protective spells on the books are removed before they start chasing them with divination spells and you'll be fine.

By the time everyone arrived at the venue, the battle here had already begun. The angry Apodel brandished his weapon and defeated the four Iron Throne executives. These old guys were no match for the Son of God. In the blink of an eye, one of them was decapitated by the giant sword.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, others joined the battle one after another. Henry commanded the Scroll Demon to kill the mage as quickly as possible. The remaining two fighters are also too old. It didn't take long to die under the swords of Minsk and Apodel. The sound of fighting attracted the guards in the library, and a team of heavily armed guards quickly surrounded everyone.

Henry quietly picked up a crown on the corpse while Apodel was arguing with the guard. After simple identification, he got the specific information of this crown.

Crown of the Fallen Kings:

Originally found in an ancient ruin south of Amn, the crown seems to have witnessed the rise and fall of countless empires. It is revered by many rulers who advocate peace or advocate war. History shows that the crown last belonged to a cruel tyrant who fled to the Sea of ​​Swords after the fall of his kingdom, where the crown was lost in the icy waters.

Equipment capacity:

Protection against fatal blows

Increases hit and magic resistance

Always keep morale high

Putting the crown into the dimension bag, Henry stood silently on the spot without saying a word. After some intense negotiations, Aberdell finally agreed to stand trial. The group was taken to a magical prison underground in Candlekeep. The guards did not confiscate their weapons and armor because they surrendered voluntarily.

Sitting on the floor of the cell, Henry immediately began to remove the protective magic on the book. Taking advantage of the quarrel between Jasila and Apodel, he poured all the books on the ground and performed several "removal magic". After seeing the dark blue magical aura on the book being expelled, he put all the books back into the dimensional bag with confidence. Next he set the Io Stone on the "Crown of the Fallen Kings" and put this powerful magic item on his head.

"Why are you so impulsive! Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Looking at the current situation, if Candlekeep pleads guilty to us, I'm afraid the best end is to spend the rest of our lives here!" Jasila taught Apodel a lesson, and the latter drooped his head and said nothing.

Henry walked over to stop the half-elf's tirade. He knew that even if this hadn't happened, Sarevok would have sent everyone to the dungeon in other ways. This guy will not allow Apodel to return to Baldur's Gate at this critical moment. After all, becoming the Duke is the most important part of his plan.

After the quarrel, everyone lost the desire to speak. They leaned against the wall and closed their eyes to rest, quietly waiting for the judgment to come. A few hours later, Ulan, the guardian of the volume, came to announce their murder. Looking at this self-righteous idiot, Henry sneered secretly in his mind. He has already told Robert to start buying other great readers in Candlekeep, and kill this arrogant bastard when the time is right.

Henry's goal is to control all the lands of Baldur's Gate. Places like Candlekeep and Lathander Temple, which have huge influence and are not yet under secular rule, will be eradicated sooner or later. In his opinion, it is necessary for him to find some time to talk to the silver dragon Miriam, as long as the ghost of this ancient silver dragon is moved, it will be much easier to take over Candlekeep.

Wu Lang turned and left immediately after reading out the crime. As soon as he left the cell, Gelian's old friend Testoril quietly appeared in front of everyone. The old man not only confided many secrets to Apodel, but also sent them to the catacombs in the end.

Looking at the eerie underground tunnel, Jaheira sighed. The underground of Candlekeep is not a playground. Not only are there various deadly traps, but there are also many undead and monsters. It is not an easy task to find a way to the outside from the catacombs.

Everyone sorted out their equipment and began to explore in the tunnel. Just a few steps away, a woman suddenly came out from the corner. The "Konta Sword" in Apodel's hand suddenly began to vibrate violently, and it was obvious that the woman in front of him was a shapeshifter. Just as he was about to hear what the monster was going to say, Henry directly fired a few magic missiles, instantly blowing the shapeshifter's head off.

"Hey! Dude. You shouldn't kill it so quickly, maybe this guy knows the way out." Apodel glanced at the body of the shapeshifter on the ground and complained.

Henry walked over and pointed to the corpse on the ground and explained: "Didn't you find out? This monster turns into people you know. If you kill it with your own hands, you will feel subconsciously guilty. Believe me, this feeling will drive you crazy."

Recalling the appearance of the woman just now, Apodel suddenly remembered that she was exactly the same as the Felicia he knew. Fortunately, I was not the one who killed me just now, otherwise I would definitely be at a loss now. He patted Henry on the shoulder gratefully. "Thanks, brother. I owe you a big favor."

"You're welcome. Remember, don't kill anyone you know along the way. Even if you know they are shapeshifters, leave it to others to deal with. Otherwise, there will be a crack in your heart, which will be very bad for the future." Henry issued a serious warning.

Dai Nahei nodded in agreement. "That's right. This kind of spiritual trauma is very difficult to heal, and the feeling of pain and regret is likely to be with you for a lifetime."

Hearing what everyone said was so serious, Apodell immediately made a promise. "Don't worry, I'm going to be a pacifist and promise not to trample a single bug to death before I walk out of the catacombs."

"It's best if you think like this. I heard that there are many treasures hidden underground here, let's explore them carefully now." Henry activated the second-level magic "detection trap" and walked in the front. He has been coveting the magic books with high attributes hidden here for a long time, and since he has arrived here, he cannot return empty-handed.

The "Immortal Flame" on both sides of the tunnel illuminated the way forward for everyone. With the help of divine arts, all the magic traps on the ground were discovered one by one, and Aimon quickly dismantled them with thieves' tools. After the baptism of dark elf trap art, these ordinary magic traps in front of me are no trouble for this talented girl. (To be continued..)
