Although Mongmong Island was small, it covered a fairly considerable area, and its terrain was quite interesting. It was lower in front and higher in the back.
The lower area was the beach where Maud and the others had landed, and it was also the only place on the entire island where landing was easy.
Heading inland from the beach, they would pass through a forest. Beyond that, the terrain gradually rose.
Farther on was the highest ground on Mongmong Island.
There, a valley was surrounded by a half-ring of rocky mountains.
In Maud's words, it was a giant ancient Roman arena built on a hillside, with a huge gap torn into it.
The islanders called this valley Ring Valley, and it was also where they lived.
The valley was surrounded by mountains on many sides, yet it nurtured lush grasslands.
Because natural fodder was plentiful, the residents of Mongmong Island raised many sheep in the valley to meet their daily needs.
To the islanders, sheep were an important source of everyday necessities. As a result, the clothes they wore were generally embroidered with adorable sheep heads.
Mongmong Island had only a hundred households, but there were a great many buildings in the valley. It could easily accommodate a thousand households, let alone a hundred.
These buildings had a distinct Greek style. Whether it was the beams, pillars, and bricks, or the decorative reliefs, everything was unusually neat and orderly.
Moreover, Maud had noticed several dilapidated, collapsed buildings. They were called residences, but actually looked more like ruins.
The existence of these ruins gave the entire Ring Valley an intangible air of mystery.
Maud had only just arrived. Even with his connection to Gaban, he normally would not wander around at random, much less stroll through those ruins.
