After leaving the city of Anjost, we followed a road paved with stones and walked for twenty miles until we saw a high mountain blocking the way. However, the road did not end. There was a mountain stream among the high mountains. A stone bridge connects the outside and inside of the mountain.
Abel already knew that this should be an important palace, because the stone road in the forest showed the value of this palace.
It is not easy to build a road in the forest. A five-meter-wide stone road that can accommodate two carriages side by side at the same time does not just need to be paved with stones.
There are a large number of plants in the forest that will grow automatically. During the growth process, they will push over the rocks or grow out of the gaps between the rocks.
In order for the road to exist for countless years, it is necessary to heat all the land that the road passes through so that no plants can grow in the land, and then pave it with stones.
The project was so large and expensive that its value far exceeded the value of a piece of territory.
"Master Bennett, this is the Aussie Valley, and the Aussie Palace is named after it!" Butler Derek said, pointing to the valley across the bridge.
"Is this a man-made road?" Abel asked, looking at the mountain stream that divided a high mountain into two halves.
"This place is a gift from the Moon Goddess, a gift from the Twin Moon Forest!" Steward Derek said emotionally.
Abel watched the carriage pass over the stone bridge. Under the bridge was a crystal clear mountain spring, with small fish swimming by from time to time.
At the same time, he also discovered the dangers here. The only way in and out was this stone bridge, but he didn't know if there were other entrances.
The stone bridge is more than 20 meters long. After coming down from the stone bridge, the cracks in the mountains have not been completed. There is still a stone road next, with steep cliffs on both sides of the stone road.
"There is a magic circle here!" Abel suddenly felt a trace of energy fluctuations. Although it was very vague, it did not escape his perception.
"Master Bennett, your mental power is really too sensitive. There is a defensive array here, but it is not open now!" Butler Derek said with admiration.
The carriage traveled another few hundred meters on the stone road. There was a bright light ahead. The carriage walked out of the mountain road. In front of it was a valley. There were trees everywhere in the valley. The trees here should have been artificially planted in a planned way.
The neat trees are arranged in straight rows whether viewed horizontally or vertically. Countless efforts have been spent just to plant the trees here.
At this time, Abel also felt the change in the temperature here. It was still winter, but the temperature here was as warm as spring.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after walking for more than twenty miles, Abel saw a white palace and castle built on the mountain.
If Abel was not mistaken, this palace was entirely made of white Hao Jade. Hao Jade is a unique stone in the Shuangyue Forest. Because its material is like jade, it is the top material for construction.
But most nobles use it as a floor or part of the interior. This is the first time Abel has seen this kind of palace and castle built entirely with Hao jade.
The white palace castle in front of you is made of Hao jade. It is called a palace castle because it is built according to a castle, but its style is like a palace.
So the palace and castle in front of you has the defense of a castle and the luxury of a palace.
"Master Bennett, this is the Australia and Asia Palace, one of the most beautiful palaces in the Twin Moon Forest!" Butler Derek felt like he was in a fairyland every time he saw this palace.
"I like it here!" Abel, who has a preference for white, said with a smile.
In front of the Australian and Asian Palace, there is a moat that separates the Australian and Asian Palace from the road in front.
It can be seen that the defense here is quite tight, and the multiple defenses make this place look like a military powerhouse.
Butler Derek took out an ID card from his waist and raised it. The sunlight shone on the wooden ID card, giving it a metallic texture.
The suspension bridge of the Australia and Asia Palace was slowly lowered, and the road into the palace was connected.
The carriage continued to cross the suspension bridge. At this time, the ironwood door of the palace was opened. Elf warriors in black armor stood on both sides of the road. A black-armored warrior with a gold badge on his chest stood middle.
"Jacob, Grand Duke's order, from today on, you and your subordinates will become Master Bennett's guards, and the Aoya Valley will become Master Bennett's territory!" Butler Derek jumped down from the carriage and walked away When he arrived in front of the elf warrior named Jacob, he said in a deep voice.
Abel also stepped out of the carriage and looked at the group of elf warriors in black armor in front of him.
He felt a familiar smell on these elf warriors. These were dead warriors, real dead warriors. This Austro-Asia palace was a base for training dead warriors in the Grand Duke's Palace.
These elf warriors are at the lowest level of intermediate knights, and most of them are senior knights. The only elf warrior at the knight captain level is Jacob.
"Master Bennett, Jacob will lead his thirty elves to die for you!" Jacob knelt down on one knee and said loudly. The black-armored elven warriors on both sides of the road all knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "To You die!"
Jacob is not like an elf, but more like a killing machine. The murderous aura in him is very heavy. It can be known that he should be a warrior who has been fighting for a long time, and the same is true for the thirty black-armored elf warriors.
"I accept your loyalty!" Abel stepped forward and said in a deep voice, and then he made a supporting gesture, and all the black-armored elf warriors stood up.
"Jacob, take everyone back first. I have something to discuss with Butler Derek. Come see me later!" Abel ordered Jacob.
He has come into contact with a lot of dead soldiers and knows that these dead soldiers only need to give direct orders and do not need to explain anything, but he still does not want to regard Jacob as a dead soldier, or in other words, he does not like to train people or elves to become dead soldiers. scholar.
"Yes, Master!" Jacob responded loudly. He turned around and made a gesture in the air, and then thirty black-armored elf warriors quickly disappeared.
"Butler Derek, does your Highness the Duke have anything to say?" Abel turned around and asked after watching Jacob's figure disappear.
"Master Bennett, this Australia and Asia Valley is the territory given to you by the Grand Duke. This Australia and Asia Palace has always been an important palace for the Grand Duke's Palace to avoid the cold in winter, and it is also an important fortress!" Butler Derek introduced.
"This Aussie Valley is twenty miles deep and sixty miles wide. It is all flat land and surrounded by mountains. There is only one entrance, which is where we just entered. On the surrounding mountains, thorns were planted many years ago. , and the surrounding mountains are almost impossible to climb to the outside. It is a natural fortress. Due to the several hot springs underground and the closure of the surrounding mountains, the climate is very suitable for the growth of fruit trees, because the role of the Austro-Asia Palace itself is. A fortress was built, so all the fruit trees planted here are necessary for the survival of elves. After countless years of management, there are mainly three types of fruit trees here, one is the sweet fruit tree, and the other is the moon pear tree. One is the green jujube tree, these three are the main food of the elves, and the fruit trees grown here can ensure food for a thousand elves!" Butler Derek continued to introduce.
At this time, Abel already understood the reason why Grand Duke Edwina gave this place to him. No matter how beautiful or valuable the place was, it was not the reason. The only important reason was the fruit trees here.
The climate here can keep fruit trees in the growing stage. It is estimated that Grand Duke Edwina thought this was the most suitable place to test his fertility potion, so she gave him such an important valley.
"Master Bennett, the elf warriors here are all dead warriors. You can order them to do anything. There are also two hundred elves who manage fruit trees living here. They are also your subjects and servants in the palace. They are also your servants." Butler Derek's introduction did not end, he continued.
"I'm very satisfied here. I will express my gratitude to Duke Albert in person on his birthday!" Abel is very satisfied with everything here. Maybe this is also a good choice for him as a vacation spot.
Duke Albert's birthday invitation has been delivered to Abel, and it will start in three days. Abel has arranged everything here and is about to attend the birthday party.
