Battle Valley. One of the eleven existing valleys in the valley. This name full of gunpowder does not reflect the character and foreign policy of the residents here. Rather, it is located at the center of the best route for Sembia to invade the valley. As long as the Sembia army follows the Rosaville Road and crosses the Black Feather Bridge, they will encounter the Battle Valley head-on. But compared with military invasion, the nature of the Sembia tycoon regime determines that they prefer to solve problems with money. They like to buy properties, manors, and land everywhere in the valley. In their own words, when they have bought all the land in the valley, do they still need to launch a military invasion? The Battle Valley has a special geographical location, which is naturally the focus of their special invasion. But behind every successful property of a Sembia noble, there will be two or three pieces that become ruins, and many have become famous ghost castles or ghost manors.
The Battle Valley has suffered greatly. In order to solve the problem of the increasing number of ghost castles, Lord Ilmes has specially introduced a policy-the Ghost Castle Auction. All the ownerless ghost castles in the Battle Valley are auctioned to everyone. Those who succeed in the auction will get the right to stay in the ghost castle and can live here for free for one month. Those who can permanently solve the ghost castle problem will obtain permanent ownership of the ghost castle and its affiliated property rights, and be recognized and protected by Lord Ilmes. Ezebra. The largest town in the Battle Valley is also the place that looks most like a capital. However, the size of this town really cannot be associated with the capital of a territory. It is more than 30 kilometers deep in the Cossoman Forest and is an out-and-out forest town. It has neither a castle nor large-scale buildings, but consists of farmhouses along both sides of the Rosaville Road. The only thing worth praising is that the layout of the farmhouses is well planned, especially the Rosaville Road that passes through the city is wide enough. It is more like a small square than a road. On the main road, there are observation posts and archer towers with roadblocks. They are obviously not empty, but have traces of human survival. When strangers pass by here, they will clearly feel that there are pairs of vigilant eyes behind them, staring at their every move. If they are just quiet travelers or merchants, they will have no obstacles. If they have any unreasonable thoughts and make trouble here, they will be greeted by sharp arrows that are fierce and accurate, and then the lord warriors who come after hearing the news. In the battle courtyard in the center, this huge courtyard surrounded by walls should be the only place that outsiders can regard it as a town. There are not only taverns, shops, and the Temple of Gond, but also the residence of Ilmet, the administrative department of the Battle Valley - Ilmet Manor. The Ghost Castle Auction held on the first day of every month in the Battle Valley is held on the high platform at the entrance of Ilmet Manor. Today is the busiest day in Ezebra. The tavern in the battle courtyard opened its door early and placed the mobile bar at the door, which was filled with various kinds of drinks.
The weapon store wiped the best weapons and armor in its shop and placed them in the most conspicuous place. The grocery store provides a variety of hot food and cold drinks, and also displays its own magic gadgets. Even the area around the Gond Temple, called the Gond House, was full of people. They all had their own small trucks or cargo poles, which were filled with various small handicrafts. These shrewd businessmen and craftsmen took advantage of today's opportunity to increase their turnover. The streets were already crowded with people watching the excitement. There were locals, passing caravan merchants, tourists who came here for the sake of fame, and ambitious adventurers, the latter of whom were the protagonists today. But compared to the protagonists, the number of the first three was far greater. "I'm here, I'm here, Miss Regina is the one who's hosting the auction today." "Ha... Regina is actually hosting today's auction. Regardless of whether the auction is successful or not, it's worth the trip to witness Miss Regina's honor." "Is Regina so famous? Who is she?" "I haven't heard of Regina before? She must be from another place?" "What a coincidence. This is indeed my first time to follow the Rosaville Road with the team. I used to go to the northern horse road and head directly to Cormier." "You're lucky. It's your first time here, and you're meeting Princess Regina herself hosting the auction. She's even busier than Lord Ilmet. , I only see her two or three times a year. She is the daughter of Lord Ilmet, the pearl of our Battle Valley, known as the most beautiful woman in the valley, more beautiful than nymphs, singing better than larks, archery comparable to elves, more elegant than nobles, and wiser than wizards. It is said that this ghost castle auction is all her work, not Lord Ilmet's. " "Now that you say that, my curiosity has been aroused. If she is only half of what you described, my trip will be worthwhile." "Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down... Here we go..." Amid a round of whispering, a group of heroic female cavalrymen galloped out of Ilmet Manor. These female cavalrymen were dressed in uniform, all in dark green leather armor, carrying longbows on their backs and long swords on their waists. Many of them also carried various musical instruments, and cloaks of the same color as the leather armor fluttered in the wind. From their facial features, they are not too old, the oldest is only in her early twenties, and the youngest is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Such a group of vigorous girls, put together, is the most eye-catching, not to mention that their looks are all above the average level - their pointed ears and gorgeous hair color all indicate that they are either elves or have elf blood. Compared with the woman in the front, the other girls have all become green leaves to set off the flowers. It can only be said that the adjectives used by the locals in the Battle Valley are not exaggerated, but only describe part of her. It is true that the goddess Nymph will be eclipsed in front of her. Her facial features are delicate as if they were carefully matched, her figure is tall and slender, and the bulge is just right, especially her slender neck, which is like a swan, white and long, and the aqua blue gem necklace on her neck has become a foil. The smile on her beautiful face made her look not superior, but friendly and infectious. From a distance, people could feel her genuine happiness and joy, and even the mood of the people around her was lifted. Her actions were extremely clean and neat. After riding to the gate of the manor, she jumped directly from the warhorse that had just slowed down, and flew up easily. When she landed, she was as light as dancing, which attracted thunderous applause and cheers from the people below. Just based on her appearance, even if she just threw a wink, she could make the males watching the excitement below scream with excitement, not to mention that in the previous action, it was obvious that she had a superb dance foundation, which was indescribably elegant and beautiful. After taking the stage, Regina opened her mouth and Bai Ling was overshadowed. Her voice was clear and melodious, and every word was like a poem, with a strange rhythm: "In order to save everyone's time, I will not say more about the reason why you are gathered here today. Now let's get to the point. The first place in the auction of lost territory recovery is still our Anka Manor. Although there is a suspicion of duplication, in order to take care of those new friends, I still need to introduce the basic situation of this manor, so that those adventurous warriors can have the minimum psychological preparation and avoid unnecessary danger.
Anka Manor originated from Anka * Barisk, who is our Battle Valley and the greatest king of our valley, the Supreme King, the King of Cloaks. This manor is his The origin of Anka Manor is also his burial place. It is said that Anka's lifelong treasures are all here, including his world-famous magic cloak. It is said that the restlessness of the bound spirits and ghosts walking here is not due to darkness and resentment, but for faith and inheritance. Only by gaining Anka's recognition and inheriting his faith and ideas can he and his soldiers rest in peace and even gain their loyalty. Those who can recapture Anka Manor, regardless of their origin, race, or age, will become the owner of Anka Manor and win the respect of everyone in the Battle Valley. The starting price of the right to recapture is 5,000 gold coins, and it is now officially open. " This Princess Regina is definitely a bard, a bard of high level and superb skills. A story that everyone has heard of, a manor haunted by ghosts, was introduced by her as a heritage point in a legend. Not to mention those outsiders who don't know the situation, even those locals were excited one by one, as if the inheritance of the King of Cloaks is just around the corner. As long as they are willing to go, they will become the protagonists of the story. Not only will they be recognized and inherited by Anka, and obtain the ownership of Anka Manor, but they will also inherit his beliefs and his lofty status, and become the new supreme king in the Battle Valley and the valley. But the admission ticket of 5,000 gold coins directly poured cold water on the young people who were full of enthusiasm. Even if they think they are extraordinary, they can't even enter the gate of Anka Manor without these 5,000 gold coins. Although there are no guards stationed there all year round, there are more troublesome things than guards - mist barriers. Lord Ilmet spent money to hire mages to set up, and now the auction is the key to freely enter and exit these mist barriers. People who don't understand think that Lord Ilmet has a way to make money and makes a lot of money by selling admission tickets. People who understand know that Lord Ilmet uses this method to keep those young people who don't know the height of the world out of the door. If they can't even come up with 5,000 gold coins, they must be the passionate young people who have just embarked on the road of adventure. The place where ghosts appear is too dangerous for them. Even if the bound spirits in Anka Manor are not as ferocious as those in other castles, they are still bound spirits after all. Once they act recklessly and accidentally trigger taboos, they may still lose their lives. More than a hundred people have lost their lives in Anka Manor. Even if many people are resurrected, they are confused about how they died before. For some, ordinary resurrection spells are ineffective. After Regina's voice fell, the people below whispered to each other, but there was no bidder. The Battle Valley has been holding this ghost castle auction for more than one or two years. Since the first session, Anka Manor has been at the top of the auction list, and it is still unshakable now. Before the auction, Anka Manor had existed for more than 300 years. Before Anka Manor was shrouded by the mist barrier, everyone could enter and exit freely. Many old people here were even frequent visitors there when they were young. If this problem could be easily solved, it would have been solved long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now. Most of the time, Anka Manor will be unsold, and this time seems to be no exception. Regina paused for a moment, then included Anka Manor in the unsold process and said: "I will count to three. If there is no bidder, Anka Manor will be unsold. One... two..." "Wait!" A young voice interrupted Regina at the most critical moment. The map is in the comment area. I marked it in detail, but it's a little blurry. If you are interested, you can take a look
