Obtaining it from the auction from Lord Ilmet is different. At least the Lord of Battle Valley has to support him in name.
Even if you don't take this into account, just take advantage of the fog barriers that Lord Ilmet sent people to set up in those manor houses. The auction money is not a loss at all.
Even the simplest mist barrier is a seven-ring ritual spell. Even if it is a familiar mage, it will inevitably cost more than 30,000 yuan. Not all mage who have reached the corresponding level can make it.
At least Lord Virginia doesn't know the spell Mist Barrier.
It’s just that plans can’t keep up with changes.
Unexpectedly, the ghost manor he was optimistic about would collide with the paladins of the Hammer of Justice.
But this is good, just let them help you test the water.
As for whether they can solve the problem of Wezeme Manor, Gavin really isn't too worried.
Judging from the information he has collected, Vizeme Manor has formed an etheric closed loop and has its own operating rules.
The key to solving this kind of supernatural incident is to find the core of the closed loop and open up the crux.
This often relies on intelligence and puzzle information rather than pure force. In this aspect, he clearly has the upper hand.
In addition, you can also take the opportunity to build a good relationship with these paladins.
Human society is different from the kobold tribe. One word will not work here.
Laws and regulations are the most useful weapons to rule here.
Paladins are great examples of this, and Paladins of Tyr are the best at it.
The Dun Hills where the Hammer of Justice Monastery is located is only across the river from the Vizeme Manor. Once it is really captured, there will be many opportunities to deal with them.
It doesn't matter even if Darnell and the others are really capable of taking over the Vizeme Manor.
There are many ghost castles in Battle Valley, take your time and choose one.
With this mentality, Gavin took Anna and followed the three paladins on the road to the Land of Three Rivers.
Unexpectedly, Regina, the princess of Battle Valley, also came over. Obviously she had great expectations for Darnell. Maybe she could solve the ghost incident at Vizeme Manor with the help of this Hammer of Justice. By the way, Clear out the entire Three Rivers Land and turn it into the new granary of Battle Valley.
The Land of Three Rivers definitely has that potential.
Because of its excellent geographical advantages.
It is wrapped in a V shape by the Asaba River that runs through the entire valley.
The Sambo River, which originates from Lake Sebo, and the Gramri River, which originates from the remnants of the Thunder Mountains, meet here to join the Asaba River.
Therefore it is called the land of three rivers.
There is a large area of impact plains here, the soil is fertile, the soil is excellent, and irrigation is convenient, making it an excellent environment for cultivating fertile farmland.
Colonfer, a wine merchant from Sambia, was interested in this. He spent all his money to buy dozens of square kilometers of land here and established the Vizeme Manor. He spent ten years building it. It was turned into a large vineyard, a wine workshop was established, and the Vizeme Cristal wine, which is famous throughout the valley, was produced.
Everything is going well. As long as he persists for another ten or eight years, the refugees who came after hearing the news will stick to the Wezeme Manor, reclaim land, and build villages. He will no longer be a self-proclaimed knight, but will become a real knight. The noble master with real power has absolute power of life and death over his surroundings.
But all this ended due to the atrocities of Sir Colonfell, who murdered his wife and daughter with a pickaxe in the stables on a rainy night at the Manor of Wezeme.
It didn't take long for Sir Colonfell, who fell into a semi-mad state, to commit suicide by taking poison at Wezemay Manor.
As the group of people were on their way, Regina told the story of Vizeme Manor in detail in her infectious voice.
She is indeed a bard, and a bard with a high professional level and high skills.
This tragic story was brought to life by her.
Combining the cruelty of Sir Colonfell, the gentleness and virtuousness of Estelle, and the tenderness and loveliness of Amanda,
Unmistakable.
It was as if she was an eyewitness to the whole thing, witnessing with her own eyes how the cruel Lord Cronfell used a pickaxe to crush his wife's head on that rainy night, and how he smashed his weak daughter into a pulp. .
In order to cover up this matter, he calmly and brutally dragged them into the barn and shot his beloved horse to cover up his crime.
Even if everyone knew what the truth was, no one could judge him.
At least in the Land of Three Rivers, at the Manor of Vizeme, no one could judge him at that time.
But the trial of his conscience did not let him go, and he committed suicide by taking poison one rainy night not long after.
"This doesn't make sense!" David, the young paladin, said with confusion after hearing the story. "If Sir Colonfell is still alive, the ghost incident at Wezeme Manor is a typical vengeful ghost at work. He wants to I want to seek revenge from him, but Sir Colonfell is obviously dead, and the resentment of the revenge ghost has been dissipated, so he should re-enter the reincarnation."
"Those who have entered Wezeme Manor said that Sir Colonfell was not completely dead and turned into a ghost." Regina added.
Another paladin apprentice, Dick, waved the war hammer in his hand and said: "This is not simple. What the revenge ghost wants is a just trial. Although Sir Colonfell is dead, he has not been punished. In some trials, we even have reason to suspect that the ghostly incident at Wezeme Manor did not start after the death of Sir Colonfell, but had already begun during his lifetime.
The ghosts of his wife and daughter haunted him. Finally, unable to bear the torture, he committed suicide by taking poison. Someone who had worked as a maid at the Vizeme Manor didn't mean that Cologne Fell had been muttering in a low voice before committing suicide. , they are back, they are back, I think they are his wife and daughter he is talking about. "
The more he talked, the more Dick felt that his guess was reasonable. Finally, he said a little excitedly: "If this is the case, this is not a confession, but another way of escape. As long as we find the ghost transformed by Sir Colonfell, we will be able to escape." His trial should bring the whole matter to an end.”
Darnell asked Regina: "I remember it was mentioned in the information that a paladin had already visited Vizeme Manor before us."
"That's right." Regina said familiarly, "He is a powerful Paladin of Tom. Although he failed, most of the information in our hands was brought back by him. Only a Paladin can be so selfless."
Regina didn't mean it as a compliment, but as a compliment from the bottom of her heart.
They have already auctioned off dozens of access tickets to the Ghost Castle.
However, after the mission failed, he still went to great lengths to send the information back to Ethebra for reference by those who came after him. This Paladin of Tom was the only one.
Although Darnell did not preach, he used the actual situation to wake them up.
Since they can think of that Paladin Tom, it is impossible not to think of it, but they are afraid that things are not as simple as they thought.
From Ethebra to the Vizeme Manor in the Land of Three Rivers, it traverses the entire Battle Valley diagonally, covering nearly 200 kilometers.
The scenery along the way fully explains what it means to have a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and what it means to have a vast plain.
While on the Rosaville Road, you can see one or two villages, towns or settlements every three or five kilometers.
When we came down from Rosaville Road and turned onto a country road, we couldn't see one for ten or eight kilometers.
Even if there are, most of them are manors with high-walled compounds, or directly castles, and they are highly vigilant against figures coming from afar.
It wasn't until he saw Regina that he put down his guard and showed a friendly smile. Her reputation in Battle Valley was not very high, and her footprints were very far. These manors and castles had all been helped by her.
Especially when he saw three paladins and a priest accompanying him, the enthusiasm went up several notches.
Here, they will inevitably stay for an hour or two to help the injured and sick patients and solve their problems.
Not to mention the three paladins, even Anna couldn't refuse.
Compared to the manors and castles with people in them, there are more deserted ones. Without asking, you know that 80% of them are the work of those Sambian merchants.
It is too easy for these wealthy businessmen who have lived in safe cities for a long time to expand their territory in the wilderness.
The most difficult thing is not to spend money to buy the land, nor to send hired workers or slaves to cultivate it.
But how to permanently protect this land and prevent it from being violated.
This level of difficulty will be greatly increased.
Not to mention the sparsely populated places, where various beasts, warcraft, and other intelligent races are everywhere. Those evil humans also act unscrupulously here, and many devastating damages are often caused by them.
In the final analysis, it is caused by too small population.
The total population of the entire Battle Valley does not exceed one hundred thousand. This does not only refer to humans, but also includes elves, half-elves, dwarves, halflings and other intelligent creatures who stand in the human camp.
It sounds like a lot, but on a land of nearly 30,000 square kilometers, it is really sparse.
In fact, this is the case in most of the inland areas of Faerûn, except along the coast, in some very few large cities.
Here, kind and intelligent creatures, led by humans, are the minority.
Goblin tribes, hobgoblin tribes, gnoll warbands, orc tribes, and bandit lairs are everywhere here, many of which are much larger than those in the rocky land, and their simple farmland can even be seen nearby.
The land here is fertile, the output is large, and the population that can be fed will naturally be large.
Only kobolds were rarely seen, perhaps because this is a plain area and not suitable for them to dig holes.
This situation becomes more and more serious the further you go to the Three Rivers Land.
By the time they arrived at Vizeme Manor, they had already traveled twenty kilometers without seeing a single human settlement.
The group of people killed many heads along the way, including various monsters and human bandits.
This is a situation that a few people will inevitably encounter when traveling on a wilderness trail.
The site of the Vizeme Estate and its associated vineyards is called Griffon Hill.
It is a small mound with a height of no more than fifty meters, and the Vizeme Manor is located on the top of the mound.
"It's so beautiful. I've long heard that Vizeme Manor is like a paradise in the upper realms. I didn't expect that the reality is even more beautiful than the rumors. With this scenery alone, this trip is not in vain." Regina couldn't help but express her heartfelt words. sigh.
Standing at the gate of Vizeme Manor, you can not only overlook the entire vineyard, but even the Asaba River in the distance is looming, with waves rolling into the sky.
The Vizeme Manor stands in this background, looming in a layer of mist. Its three-story structure with white walls and gray roof can be seen, but the specific situation cannot be seen clearly.
Without using your admission ticket, no matter how you walk in the direction of Vizeme Manor, you will end up walking in circles, never walking five meters from beginning to end.
This is the most basic function of fog enchantment.
"Come together." Darnell invited Regina and Gavin.
Regina smiled and shook her head and said: "Sorry, my ability is basically ineffective in this situation. I will be a drag on you inside. I'd better stay here and wait for your stories."
Gavin also shook his head and said: "As agreed, you come first until you are sure. If there is no way to solve it, I will try again. If we follow now, if it is solved, disputes will easily arise. If it is not solved, we will Taking advantage of you."
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
