After a few days of communication with the villagers, Grom was very sure that the deep valley behind the village was one of the most famous canyons in the Orsay Empire, the Arle Valley.

The valley is 100 kilometers long, up to a kilometer at its widest point and more than 50 meters at its narrowest point. As for the depth, no one has ever explored the bottom of the valley, and it is said that the two ends of the valley are also straight down, and the valley is perennially covered with dense fog, no birds are entrenched on the cliff walls, and the vegetation is even more scarce.

There have been attempts to build bridges between deep valleys, but few have succeeded in building them due to the large spans and the constant blowing of winds during construction.

There are only two ways to cross the valley, and that is to detour from both sides of the valley, but both roads are very dangerous, and most of the people who try to cross them have died strangely, and the few who have been left are either frightened or never returned.

As for those who came back without incident, the news of the horror spread to the ears of the Imperial King. The king sent his troops in, but the result was the same......

After the remnants of the army had fled with heavy losses, the king ordered the two entrances to be sealed, and a few adventurers would sneak in. But without exception, all of them encountered disasters, and over time, those two entrances became uncared for.

Of course, these are just rumors, and they will only be known when they actually come here and ask the villagers in person. It turns out that there are still people who can bypass the deep valley to reach the other side, and those two entrances are indeed very dangerous, but not every time you enter, there will be disaster.

As for why people are reluctant to develop on the flat ground opposite the deep valley, it is probably directly related to the risk of those two entrances.

A hundred years ago, the Orsay Empire also tried to build bridges from here. After overcoming the fierce winds, the wide bridge was erected. Some people began to migrate across the valley, where they farmed and herded, and built houses and barns.

But the good times didn't last long...... At the end of the open space is a mountain range. When people try to enter the mountains, they are attacked by inexplicable creatures.

Some say it's a wolf, some say it's a bear, and some say it's the beast king of the mountain who is enraged. Demons, geyers, evil spirits, and brutal ghouls have all become the protagonists of horror stories.

At first, domestic animals disappeared for no apparent reason, and then humans disappeared mysteriously. The Imperial guards disappeared overnight, and even the bodies and blood were not found.

"Several guards were sent in succession. But they all disappeared overnight. The panicked people moved out of the area and fled to the city of Hitra. And the empire had to give up this land very quickly. The village man sat on a wooden stake and sighed softly as he looked at the setting sun.

Daciano, who was sitting opposite, nodded silently, there was indeed a record of this matter in the materials he had read, but it was not as detailed as the old man.

Grom, who was standing on the side, involuntarily looked behind him, "In such a dangerous place, you still have to live so close...... Wouldn't it be nice to move to the city of Hitra?"

The village chief's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile of hope appeared on his face, "Those who stay here...... They are all descendants of craftsmen who built bridges back then. You should also realize that the people here are no strangers to the craftsmanship of construction, precisely because their ancestors completed such great projects. So everyone has something obsessed with in their hearts. ”

Daciano and Grum were shocked by the village chief's words at the same time, and they could not imagine that those great craftsmen were the ancestors of this nameless village......

"Hey...... It's only been a hundred years, but fewer and fewer people are willing to stay in the village. A lot of people left at a young age. They yearn for a broader world and a better life. When I was young, how could there be so few people in the village...... It's your little bit of work, and it won't be able to be completed in a few days. Hey......" the village chief sighed, shaking his head.

"I didn't expect it...... Really, I didn't expect that. Daciano didn't know what to say for a moment.

The village chief waved his hand weakly, "Hey...... Actually, you can see it. The people in the village, including me, are very fond of money. ”

The two nodded thoughtfully. Daciano asked a little puzzled, "Isn't it because of the poverty here?"

The village chief smiled bitterly, "Hey...... Life in the village is not rich, but at least it is abundant. But that doesn't satisfy the desires of those young people. We need money not for ourselves, but to keep more people, to keep the young people in the village, and also to want those who left to come back......"

"So thank you for so many jobs, even though it won't take long to complete. But if Lord Bell doesn't dislike it, the people in the village are still willing to do more for him. The village chief said with a little excitement.

In this way, Daciano completely understood that the essence of these people was not greed, and they worked hard to make money in order to retain the bloodline in the village.

With such persistence living here, they must have obsessions in their hearts. Looking at the excitement of the village chief when he just told the story, I am afraid that the villagers who stayed here still have some hope for the bridge.

"I see...... Ay...... But it won't be long before the house is finished, and I'll talk to him when Bell comes back to see if I can build some other facilities in the valley...... Anyway, that guy's family has money. When the time comes, come a brave adventure, let those who are idle and uncomfortable and not afraid of death go to the other side to experience the real adventure fun......"

Daciano spoke quickly, and when he said that when the bridge was repaired again, although it was a passing by, the village chief's eyes obviously flashed with strange colors. This subtle change was firmly grasped by her!

Deliberately hiding the excitement on his face, the village chief lowered his head deeply, "There are many dangers lurking on the other side of the deep valley, if Lord Bell wishes, we can build some other facilities in this valley, and our people will do their best to do it." As for the Fukaya Bridge...... There are still not enough of us. ”

I didn't say that I couldn't fix it, I just said that the number of people was not enough! The village chief's little trick was useless in front of Daciano, and he nodded lightly, and did not give more promises, she knew one thing deeply, and it would be better for Bell to give some favors.

In the past, even if someone funded the reconstruction of the bridge, the people in the village would still be a little hesitant. But now the situation is completely different! Everything is because of the appearance of Bell and others, which has changed the minds of the villagers. (To be continued.) )
