VALORIA WILDEROSE
Thanks to Yue's brief tour around the castle, I'm able to find my way to the eastern parts and stumble across the old tower—it's remarkably easy to spot.
It's an old bell tower, one of the tallest buildings in the area, with a construction style dating back to the 1600s.
It's definitely old; a good strong wind could probably tear it down.
By the time I reach its entrance, there's an array of yellow caution tape surrounding it along with a signboard stating that the building is slated to be torn down in a few weeks.
I can't help wondering what about this creepy, fragile-looking building screams "perfect secret meeting place" to my blackmailer—aside from the fact that it reeks of "obvious trap."
It's a clear sign to abort mission, but the stakes are too high to ignore, even if it means walking straight into a hazard like this.
Taking a deep breath, I summon courage and step inside, stepping over the tape.
