I reforged the glory of the magic ring in Middle-earth

Chapter 149 Ensis City
If you want a soul collector with a higher capacity, you must summon the Rhea Lukalia Academy or the Kalia Castle.

If you want to summon the Rhea Lukalia Academy or the Kalia Castle, you need a soul collector with a higher capacity.

Just play a loop with me.

Tanes sighed helplessly and said to Teacher Serlian, "I understand. I will solve the problem of the source pyroxene as soon as possible."

Se Lian turned the pyroxene stone mask he was wearing and said, "You too? It seems you have a lot to do right now, my dear disciple."

Tanes sighed again. "It's not too much, but it's not too little either. Basically, I need a large amount of runes to solve all the problems I have. During the Battle of Lonely Mountain, due to the capacity of the Soul Collector, many dead Orc souls were not absorbed in time. It was a huge loss."

Seren said thoughtfully, "If you're in urgent need of souls to replenish your Blessed Runes...would you consider those primitive people of Erin Vaughn? They're isolated from the world anyway, so no one would know if they were silenced."

Tanes waved his hands quickly. "No, no, absolutely not. Teacher Seren, it's best to give up this idea. Besides, although those primitive people of Erin Vaughn are unwilling to cooperate with us, they certainly haven't come out to provoke us."

Teacher Se Lian continued, "So, as long as they provoke the Golden Tree, you can attack them?"

Tanes waved his hands in annoyance. "We can't go over there and make them provoke us, Teacher Seren. Anyway, I will find a more efficient way. I will come back to you after I get the source stone."

Teacher Seren was used to Tanes's rejections. She knew that her apprentice had relatively high moral standards, so she simply nodded and said goodbye to him, indicating that he should not disturb her while she continued her experiments.

After Tanes led Melina out of Serlian's room, the girl behind him spoke up, "Serlian's reputation as a witch is well-deserved. Only someone like you can deal with her with a normal heart, right?"

Tanes shrugged. "Teacher Seren isn't as terrifying as the rumors say. It's just that her unusual outlook on life sometimes makes others find her a bit intimidating. Okay, now I need to figure out how to quickly replenish the runes and summon some more soldiers from the King's Army... Otherwise, let alone send troops to garrison River Valley, I won't even have enough manpower to patrol the territory as Neferi Lu requires."

Melina asked, "When you replenished the runes for the Golden Tree, I remember you told me that you obtained the souls of those orcs after killing them, right?"

Tanes replied as he walked, "Yes, and the orcs in this world seem to reproduce very quickly. We can't kill them all."

Melina looked up at the twin golden trees standing in the distance within the Royal City of Rodel. She looked at the other half, the Shadow Tree, and asked, "You also mentioned that Freya, a female warrior of the Red Lion Legion in the Shadow Land, was summoned here by you using the Shadow Blessing? Did you also need to use the Shadow Blessing to summon me and the Royal City of Rodel?"

Tanes slapped his head and said, "Oh, that's not necessary. You reminded me that I've never used the blessing stored in the Shadow Tree to summon anything other than Freya."

He turned sideways and took a few steps back, then walked beside Melina and walked with her. "You and I have been to the Shadow Land together, so you can accept the things there. But many people in the border area, even the nobles, don't know some of the secrets of the Shadow Land, so I have never thought of summoning things from the Shadow Land. Freya herself belongs to the Red Lion Legion, so she won't arouse other people's suspicion..."

Melina withdrew her gaze from the Shadow Tree and said venomously, "Do you think those nobles have been blinded by the Golden Blessing just like you? The gleaming Shadow Tree, the other half of the Golden Tree, stands before the very eyes of the people of the Borderland. Do you still think the events of the Shadow Land will sway them?"

Tanes was stunned and silent for a moment. After glancing around to see if anyone else was around, he muttered back, "The Shadow Tree isn't a big deal. The main thing is what happened in the Shadow Land... Think about what your brother Messermo did for Queen Marica, and what Queen Marica did at the God's Gate. Can we really reveal all this to the people of the borderland now? We should at least wait until the twin golden trees are fully formed. That way, even if there's some unrest, I can deal with it in time."

Melina fell silent, and after a while, she reluctantly praised him, "Okay, this time I admit that you're the one who thinks more than me."

Tanes was already used to Melina's awkward compliments. He smiled and said, "No, I have to thank you. Your words reminded me that although I can't tell you what happened in the Shadow Land right now, it doesn't mean that people from the Shadow Land can't be summoned."

Melina asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Tanes looked like he had a plan. "Didn't Latarn reach an agreement with Bard for me to station a garrison from the Golden Tree Territory there? We just need to let the soldiers from the Shadowlands through. As long as we strictly control the portal in Long Lake Town, the Shadowlands soldiers are far away in Lonely Mountain, and the people from the border area won't be able to communicate with them immediately."

Melina nodded calmly. "So you plan to summon Messemo? But you said that if you want to summon a demigod from a certain place, you must first summon the landmark building where it is located. You can send Messemo and his army to Lonely Mountain, but you can't move Shadow City to Lonely Mountain, right?"

Tanes said, "Yes, and there are too many secrets about the Shadow Land in Shadow City. There are many shameful things both inside and below the castle. We must send people to guard it when summoned. So, unfortunately, Melina, I can't reunite you with your brother this time."

Melina shook her head slightly. "That's not a big deal. So who are you planning to summon from the Shadowlands? Besides Messermo's King's Army, there doesn't seem to be any army from the Loyal Golden Tree, right? You can't be planning to summon the mad dragon and his dragon minions from Spike Mountain? Or perhaps [Bud ​​Saint] Romina, who's connected to the Scarlet Corruption?"

Melina paused, frowned, and said in a serious tone, "Are you planning to summon that weak [Lord of Mad Fire] Midra?"

Tanes quickly waved his hands in denial, "How is that possible? You forgot that when I summoned Edgar, the Lord of Morn, and his daughter Irena, they were both very wary of the Mad Fire. How could I have summoned Midra directly? Even if he's weak, he's still the King of Mad Fire. If he burns my golden tree, I'll have nowhere to cry."

Melina's expression softened slightly. "That's good, but don't keep me in suspense. Tell me who you're planning to summon."

Tanes smiled and replied, "Although Messermo cannot be summoned due to the secrets of the Shadow Land, the [Twin Moon Knight] Laelana, who loves him, and the city of Ensis where she lives, are completely safe."

Then Tanes paused and said, "She was once the princess of Kalia and is acquainted with Latarn. It wouldn't be a big problem to have her stationed at Lonely Mountain."

Melina thought for a moment, then turned to look at Tanes. "The only question is whether the Knight of the Twin Moons will be as friendly to the Golden Tree as my brother, Messermo."

Tanes said affirmatively: "She will. Even if not for the sake of the golden tree, she will at least help me for the sake of Kalia."

Melina tilted her cute head and asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

Tanes suddenly fell into a strange silence, and then Melina's eyes became sharp and dangerous.

She asked calmly, "Is it because of your relationship with Lani? Although I don't have any memories of what happened after the tree burned, I clearly remember you putting her ring on the demigod who orchestrated the Black Blade Night. Does that mean you married Lani in the reincarnation you told me you took the Star Path?"

Tanes could only nod, not knowing what to say. Melina didn't say anything either, but suddenly quickened her pace, forcing Tanes to follow quickly.

As Melina walked away, she asked, "Is the doll she gave you still with you?"

"Uh, on me..." Tanes followed Melina, who was walking faster, and opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.

Does it mean: Let me explain, things are not what you think?
Come on, Melina was there when she put the ring on Lani, how else can she explain it?

Or you could say: Lani and I are just partners, and the one I really like is you.

Then when Lani is summoned, it will be even more doomed.

Tanes was frantically calculating in his mind how to talk to Melina, but every result of his calculations told him that the best option now was not to say anything and not to explain anything.

Because he was thinking wrongly, anything he said at this time would only have the opposite effect.

Therefore, the Storm Legion soldiers, servants and maids along the way saw Tanes following a beautiful girl with an embarrassed and flustered look on his face, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Melina didn't stop until she walked out of Stonewell City. She took a deep breath and suddenly turned around to look at Tanes.

Tanes stopped abruptly, right in front of Melina. Not knowing what to say, he could only smile foolishly.

"It was obviously me who gave the ring first. Isn't Torret's whistle in the shape of a ring..." Melina muttered softly, her voice so low that Tanes couldn't hear it clearly.

So he asked cautiously: "Did you say anything?"

"Hey……"

Melina saw Tanes's expression, sighed, and said, "Nothing, just some personal complaints. Or do you want to hear what kind of insects I use to describe your behavior?"

Tanes winced. "If that helps you calm down, I could sit here and listen all day."

Melina turned her head away. "Even a mayfly only lives for a day. Are you trying to say that your brain can only remember things for a day?"

Tanes quickly shook his head: "Of course that's not what I meant..."

Just when he was about to say something to comfort Melina, Melina suddenly forcefully stuffed something soft into his hand.

Tanes looked down and found that it was an exquisite rag doll that looked 80% like Melina.

Melina turned around again and threatened dangerously, "Keep it. If I find out you lost it..."

Before she finished speaking, Tanes solemnly put it away and swore, "I swear to the Golden Tree that I will never lose it!"

Melina closed her mouth, then hummed softly and said, "Call Torret out now and go to the Royal City to do your business."

"okay!"

Tanes and Melina quickly returned to the royal city of Rodel and came to the golden tree in front of the cathedral. Without any delay, they used the shadow blessing that the shadow tree had stored until now to summon the city of Ensis.

Unlike the golden light emitted by the Golden Tree in the past, the Shadow Tree did not seem to have any strange phenomena when it was summoned, except that the rhythmic halo of the black and gold trunk was more frequent.

Tanes chose to place the city of Ensis near Shabad because he planned to place these two large building complexes in this place when he summoned the Rhea Lukalia Academy and the Kalia Castle later.

Moreover, the city of Ensis also belongs to the Kalia faction to a certain extent, so Tanes planned the location in advance to facilitate subsequent summoning.

Another reason why Tanes did not summon the city of Ensis to the royal city of Rodel or other pro-Golden Tree castles or fortresses was that he remembered that the relationship between Kalia and the Golden Tree was not as friendly as that between the city of Stonewell.

Stonewell City can be said to be the defeated party, at least on the surface it has surrendered to the Golden Tree.

But Kalia is different. Even the Golden Tree at its peak did not succeed in conquering the Kalia royal family. Instead, it chose marriage to peacefully resolve the conflict between the two sides.

But later, everyone in the border area knew about Radagon's deeds. He abandoned the then leader of the Kalia royal family, the Full Moon Queen, and his children with her, and returned to the royal city of Rodel to marry Marika.

Although Tanes knew that Marika was Radagon, Kalia and his group didn't know. They only knew that Radagon of the Golden Tree was a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children to become the King of Elden. They must be very angry with the Golden Tree.

If he directly summoned Kalia's buildings and soldiers to the vicinity of the Golden Tree's forces, Tanes would probably have to urgently deal with the conflict between the two.

Therefore, he threw Ensis City to a place farther away to give the two sides some buffer time to meet, so that they would not start to fight each other with resentment.
