Fang Hong exhaled lightly. "What do you think about the travel plans afterward?" he asked Hilveld.
"That depends on the Captain's opinion," Hilveld looked at him. She put down her wine glass, interlocking her fingers. "We generally still have to go through the Great Canyon. It's an ancient road that existed before the trade route to the east of the Kudi Mountain Range was established. The Great Canyon passes through the mountainous area to the south, and there's an abandoned ancient castle in the mountains, just south of here—"
"What's said about that ancient castle?"
"It once belonged to a noble family, but its ownership is unclear now. I couldn't even trace its noble lineage. Now it's haunted by ghostly creatures, and there are also some legends about 'strange shadows'—the Captain should know that the area around Tibial Creek has always had a lot of undead creatures, so it's particularly dangerous there. Adventurers with average strength typically avoid that direction."
