“That’s right, this matter will count as Deep Forest Valley’s share.” Lord Serlemon of Deep Forest Valley was the first to express his stance.

“Feather Wing Valley is also willing to join in, doing all we can to assist you, my Lord, in advancing this matter,” the few representatives from Feather Wing Valley concurred.

“We will strive to persuade more people from Taser Valley to join us,” said Valon, the Grand Inquisitor of the Hammer of the Holy Light Abbey.

Although he has a very high reputation in Taser Valley, ultimately, he is not a lord, so there are limits to the substantive decisions he can make.

“Thank you all for your trust. With your assistance, I am more confident about this matter,” Gaven said with a smile. “There are indeed many aspects that require the cooperation of local residents. Why don’t we all sit down and discuss it in detail?”

“We couldn’t ask for more.”

Everyone responded in agreement.

Managing the Ashaba River is undoubtedly a brilliant move, not only for future planning but also for consolidating the strengths of other valleys for one’s use, and their enthusiasm is sufficiently high.

Especially for Deep Forest Valley, Taser Valley, Battle Valley, and Feather Wing Valley, they are either located at the junction of three rivers or at the lower reaches of the Ashaba River, heavily affected by this river.

Especially the first three, when the rainy season of Comanso arrives, a large amount of river water gathers at Yewen Pond, causing the water level to rise by more than ten meters in a short time, flooding many areas, with Deep Forest Valley being the most affected.

However, judging from Lord Serlemon’s reaction, they do not oppose raising the water level of Yewen Pond, indicating that this matter brings them more benefits than harm.

With the addition of new members, their discussions on managing the Ashaba River have entered a deeper phase, and the valleys most affected can begin personnel distribution and preliminary preparations. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

Managing the Ashaba River was just an opportunity; they have many matters to negotiate. The cooperation projects Gaven previously discussed in Mist Valley are applicable to other valleys as well, though the focus may differ.

For example, in Deep Forest Valley, isolated by three rivers and two lakes, arable land is extremely scarce, and the residents primarily rely on fishing and hunting.

Feather Wing Valley, on the other hand, is involved in large-scale economic crop planting. Their high-quality cotton is famous throughout the valley.

The former is very interested in planting Styrak Bush and breeding Boom Boom Arowana Shrimp, while the latter has a strong need to join the agricultural association.

Naturally, Gaven had no reason to refuse. After all, the more participants, the wider the promotion, and the greater the risk resistance.

Silently, centered around Battle Valley, a new valley economic alliance is forming, and with intertwined interests, they are more connected than other valleys and more easily coordinated in actions.

After the Conqueror Army entered Battle Valley, their approach changed again.

Once they emerged from the Comanso Great Forest, they began to move forward while establishing roots.

The deserted Ghost Castle, Ghost Manors, and villages in Battle Valley naturally became their first choice.

Since these places once housed humans, it indicates that the basic elements for human survival are present here, and it holds its own value—otherwise, no one would have wasted time and effort pioneering here.

Yet, they were abandoned due to irresistible factors, at least for ordinary people, they were irresistible.

Such factors are diverse.

There are places like Weizemay Manor, truly haunted by evil and powerful ghosts.

Such locations are exactly what Gaven prefers, as they perfectly match his expertise.

No matter if it’s ghosts or shadows, there’s no need for Gaven to personally intervene; all it takes is the Shadow Wings, who possess shadow abilities, to pull them into Weizemay Manor within minutes, turning them into unpaid ghostly laborers.

Gaven practically proved that addressing undead issues is best suited not to the priests or holy warriors of the gods of light, but to the sacrificers related to death, particularly those who hold the Undying Goddess of Vengeance, who excel among them.

Yet, regrettably, this Lady of the Dead walks the same path as the Dark Gods, using fear and dread to create more undead existences and gather faith for herself.

Her believers not only do not help intelligent beings solve undead plagues, but instead, they actively promote such events, creating undead creatures everywhere, spreading death at every turn.

For Gaven, who does not have a strong demand for the Undead Divine Office, he does not have such concerns.

For him, Weizemay Manor, infused with Undead Divinity, is a convenient tool for rapid development, used as conveniently as possible.

It can be used as a unique prison to imprison his enemies, turning the incarcerated beings into part of his strength.

It can also serve as a convenient transport method for large-scale material transfer.

Now, using it for purifying the undead is actually its most original method of usage.

Ironically, the Undying Goddess of Vengeance, who has been fervently pursuing power, is now so weak that even her divine consciousness cannot remain clear, falling into unprecedented frailty.

Meanwhile, Gaven, who has little demand in this area, has instead grown wildly, not only giving rise to an Undead Divine Spark but possessing more than forty points of Undead Divinity.

Among these ghostly castles, less than one-tenth were truly abandoned due to ghosts.

Most were due to inconvenient transportation, surrounded by powerful monsters or bandits, making them nests for monsters and bandits.
