Just as Ai Xingyan and Peterqi were talking in the secret room, many new things quietly happened in the outside world.

On the eternal land of the Holy Wing Empire, there are many beautiful worlds dotted around, and the Gray Valley is one of the most famous.

Nestled in the valley of the Sky Mountains in the southwest of the Empire, it divides the entire mountain range in two, with white walls connecting the mountainsides and noble eagle banners fluttering as far as the eye can see.

The verdant ivy is a local specialty, and it is rumored that they are as old as human civilization, climbing one level at a time until they form a unique landscape in the walls and courtyards......

However, when they came to the majestic and solemn temple of the Ash Valley, they had to stop themselves.

This is a magnificent group of temples that occupy the core of the entire Ash Valley.

Its entrance was guarded by countless guards armed with gray steel swords and spears, many of whom had endured the vicissitudes of time, and their resolute countenances had long since become a symbol of the Valley of the Eagles.

Behind them, the Imperial Prince, Riddle Greyvale, commands all the soldiers and knights in the valley, the strongest of whom is affectionately known as the "Great Guardian Knight" by the inhabitants.

As you can imagine, they are highly capable and their prestige is unique in the empire.

Moreover, the air here is filled with phantom particles of magic, the product of mages who have silently deduced and saved everything in the Valley of the Eagle since ancient times, and pure enchantments surround the temple like the blessings of the gods.

On weekdays, they all live in the Spell Tower at the top, and under the influence of the spirit and magic of keeping up with the times, they can see the Eagle Knight who often flies in the sky.

I don't know how long it took, maybe at that time the ivy had spread to the deepest halls, and the glory of the Valley of the Eagle would not end.

The Greyvale Eagle and the Royal Griffin are proudly referred to as the "Twin Blades of the Sky", and as long as their fame remains, the empire's territory will last forever.

On this day, Hayes, the young prince of Grey Valley, was patrolling the edge of the city walls as before, and he saw again, the familiar, thriving homeland.

Whenever he appeared, the admiration of women and the cheers of the crowd could be heard nearby, and Hayes was one of the most popular figures in this place.

This time, he passed by the shooting range in the east, where Hayes met his friend Cloud Hunter, who was hand-in-hand teaching a soldier how to practice his bow and arrow.

As the current owner of Ashenvale, Hayes knew that the Cloud Hunter possessed archery skills like no other in the world.

"What, do you want to try your hand?" The Cloud Hunter said cheerfully.

"Okay, I can't ask for it." Hayes readily agreed.

Immediately, he drew his bow and set up an arrow, and a brass arrow shot at a target at an incredible angle to the target 200 meters away.

With a sound like the wind, the center of the arrow target was directly penetrated, but the power of the arrow was still inexhaustible, and it continued to fly backwards, and hit more than a dozen identical bullseyes in a row.

Eight hundred meters away, one of the guards picked up the last target and found that the brass arrow had passed through the bull's-eye impartially.

Obviously, the other targets suffered the same fate.

However, the guards saw a strange sight then.

I saw that the hole in the bullseye suddenly glowed green, and in an instant, the appearance of the target returned to its original state......

"Oh, you've got magic in your bowarts?" The Cloud Hunter asked curiously.

"It's just a little bit of it, as you can see, it's a natural recovery." Hayes said with a sassy gesture.

"That way, everyone can continue to practice with these tools."

Immediately, after bidding farewell to the Cloud Hunter, he came to the gate of the city again.

Suddenly, he saw a dusty face.

I saw a dirty girl hurrying into the place guarded by the guards.

Her hair was fluffy and curly, her eyes bloodshot and her clothes were in tatters, and she was looking at the guards with begging eyes.

"She looks like a refugee from outside, but I haven't heard of any cruel disasters happening in the neighborhood."

She also said that she wanted to enter the castle and that she hadn't eaten in days.

Looking at the earnest face of the girl, Hayes guessed that she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Because, the descendants of the Gray Valley family have a special ability, that is, they can easily estimate the age of strangers.

Now, a flash of pity suddenly rose in his heart.

"Well, we'll give you food for survival, but you'll have to take care of yourself and become a servant in charge of keeping the castle clean and tidy."

The girl nodded slightly, her expression giving a sense of rebirth.

"Thank you, my lord." The girl said a little shyly.

"So, can you tell me your name?" He lowered his head and looked at the girl, meeting her gaze.

The girl's gaze shy evaded.

"I don't know, I don't have a name, I just know, this is the end of my journey."

The guards looked at each other.

"Alright, let's get into the valley, remember, the restaurant is on the second floor of the third castle."

"You must remember to do your own thing, don't wander around, there are some mysterious places, and don't enter alone without permission."

Hayes sternly commanded these things, and glanced away at the girl and into the depths of the Valley of the Eagles.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Hayes sat in the center of his study, flipping through a magical tome in his hand.

He remembered many of the Cloud Hunter's pasts, as well as other family members.

However, there is always a figure that lingers no matter what......

His thoughts gradually floated, and he vaguely saw the starry night of that moon again.

"Remember, child, the Star of the Gray Valley has been shining in our hearts since the moment you were born."

A gentle-looking aristocratic woman was holding a child under the age of six, humming a dreamlike ballad and pointing her white fingers to a shining star in the western sky.

Hayes, who was only ten years old, stood quietly aside, his eyes surging with joy.

It's been a long time since I've seen my mother so happy......

The child opened her pure eyes, and the sun, moon and stars she saw in her eyes were like the most beautiful pictures in her memory.

"Behold, Iya, you are slowly growing up, and one day, you will follow the guidance of the Star of the Gray Valley and return to your homeland from a blessed distance."

"Which star, the one you are talking about?"

Hayes's sister, Ia, asked her mother in a misty tone.
