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

Chapter 28 Reunion

"God, I really can't stand you dwarves. You're more stubborn than the stepping stones under my dining table. I told you not to plant cabbages here. The fields here are already full of vegetables, and planting cabbages will only make the fields tired. Don't you dwarfs have a concept of planting density in your muscular minds?"

A handsome elf in brown cloth lost some of his elegance and held the seeds he brought from Rivendell tightly in his arms.

The red-bearded dwarf in charge of the fields below him heard the elf's reasoning, exchanged glances with his two fellow dwarves, and scoffed, "Haha, my friends, did you see that? This guy with pointed ears actually doubts our planting techniques. He must not know the miraculous nature of the golden tree Lord Tanes brought, so he's clinging to his pitiful mindset and refuses to accept our persuasion."

"Exactly. If you ask me, it's these pointy ears that are the most stubborn. We immediately discovered the magic of this land!"

Neferi Lu listened to the quarrel and held her forehead with a headache. She said, "Mr. Elf, how about this? You can first give some seeds to the dwarves to plant here, and keep some for you to cultivate as you wish."

The elf shook his head repeatedly and said in a beautiful voice, "I understand your good intentions, Lady Neferi Lu, but I simply cannot trust the dwarves. These seeds are high-quality varieties that the lord specifically instructed me to select. If even a single seed fails to germinate because of these dwarves, I would be heartbroken."

As soon as the dwarves heard the elves' words, they began to argue with each other fiercely again.

In the fields outside the Moren Castle, the elves and dwarves who were arguing about how to grow vegetables suddenly discovered that the originally quiet Moren Castle began to bustle with people constantly walking out of the castle's main gate.

Some of them wore relatively luxurious brocade clothes, while others wore more ordinary cloth clothes.

There were also some humanoid creatures that were covered with scales or had wings on their backs. The reason why the elves and dwarves did not regard them as Orcs was simply because these humanoid creatures had long and thick tails behind them.

However, those who were wearing clothes and those with long tails were walking in two distinct sides, and seemed to be wary of each other.

The elf with better eyesight also discovered that the pupils of both the people wearing clothes and the humanoid creatures with long tails were golden in color, the same as the light of the golden tree.

After Tanes summoned the residents and hybrids of the border area, strands of golden light hung down from the branches of the golden tree, and the golden blessing entered the bodies of each of them equally.

This is also the reason why the hybrids were able to calm down and the powerful and common people did not object.

Although the rebellion in Moren City was fraught with doubts, including a conspiracy by the Mad Fire believers, the fundamental reason for the rebellion was that they were treated as slaves and subjected to the inhumane oppression of Moren City.

Therefore, after Tanes blessed the hybrids equally, it meant that the hybrids' identities were also recognized by the Golden Tree. At least they could live normally as civilians in the Golden Tree's territory, rather than being slaves at the mercy of others.

As for the nobles and common people in the border area who regarded the golden tree as their lifelong belief, they naturally did not dare to complain when they saw Tanes who could drive the golden tree.

However, Tanes also knew that the conflict between the two sides could not be completely eliminated with just one sentence from him. The current peaceful situation was entirely due to the pressure he brought to the powerful and the common people.

Perhaps while he was there, the Golden Tree's people and the hybrids wouldn't clash. However, once Tanes left, the suppressed conflict between the two sides would likely erupt again.

Therefore, Tanes did not foolishly arrange the two groups of people to live and work together, but divided the land into two parts for them to separate.

This kind of contradiction that has been formed over a long period of time will take a long time to slowly resolve. Now all Tanes can do is to minimize the stimulation on both sides.

Soon, the two groups separated to the left and right not far after they walked out of the castle gate. Those wearing clothes went to the right, and those with long tails went to the left.

Following these two groups was a century-long squadron of King's soldiers, led by two Gregor knights.

However, about 80% of the soldiers in this hundred-man team were auxiliary soldiers. These auxiliary soldiers wore white base clothes and chain mail shawl soft armor, and wore round helmets on their heads, but they did not wear the green and gold clothes embroidered with the Grek flag.

Moreover, they were holding relatively short daggers, and it was obvious that their equipment was not as sophisticated as the Grek soldiers in front of them.

Auxiliary troops, as the name suggests, are soldiers who assist the king's army in battle. Their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the regular king's army.

Their main duties were to stand guard for the King's Army, carry weapons, operate the crossbows on the castle, and cooperate with the King's Army to create loopholes for the enemy.

But now, these large number of auxiliary soldiers can also allocate manpower to help plow the fields and graze.

Nepheli Lu, who was in charge of mediating the conflict between the two sides, immediately understood that this was Tanes summoning the royal army soldiers, residents and hybrids in the border area.

She was just about to find a reason to explain this phenomenon to Tanes, but she found that the elves and dwarves were simply curious about what the people who walked out of the castle looked like, but neither of them had any questions about why people kept appearing in the castle.

Well, everything about elves and dwarves is thanks to the magical title of "wizard".

After spending a long time with these Middle-earth natives, Neferi Lu discovered that no matter what happened in the territory of the Golden Tree that they had not seen before, they never found it strange.

Some of them were surprised, but they quickly convinced themselves that it must be a new thing made by a wizard, and never doubted its rationality.

Since the elves and dwarves had no questions about the sudden appearance of such a large crowd, Neferi Lu was happy to relax and not waste words explaining.

Then the female warrior was surprised to find that they stopped arguing, the elves walked towards the area where their compatriots lived, and the dwarves ran towards their farmhouses.

Neferi Lu asked in surprise: "Wait, what are you going to do?"

The elf heard the voice, stopped, turned around and saluted Neferi Lu, saying, "Lord Tanes's compatriots have traveled all the way here. I believe they need delicious food and clear spring water."

The red-bearded dwarf shouted without even turning his head, "You're just going to give spring water to the people of Lord Tanes' hometown? As expected, your pointy-eared thinking is incomprehensible to us. We're going to bring them fine wine and milk! And steaming hot barbecue! Hahaha, there will definitely be a grand celebratory dinner tonight, and we're going to get drunk!"

The elf's mouth twitched as he looked at the excited dwarf, shook his head, and then bowed to Neferi Lu and said goodbye.

Dinner party?
Neferi Lu looked at the residents and hybrids walking in different directions and sighed in her heart. Perhaps the atmosphere of the evening banquet would not be as cheerful as the dwarves imagined.

Inside the castle of Moren City, in the open space illuminated by the light of the golden tree, there were several figures besides Tanes, standing clearly separated by Tanes.

The city lord Edgar, wearing silver armor, and his blind daughter Irena, who was protected behind him, faced a lion hybrid with fiery red fur on his body and a lion-like face, and a scaly hybrid with a hunched body and a hammer in his hand, the blacksmith Xiugu.

Next to Tanes was a man wearing gold and silver armor, inserting a golden sword into the golden grass with both hands - [Hunting Death] D, who was Roger's good friend Darien.

Xugu also protected a cute girl with golden hair and a red hood behind his hunched back. He nervously gripped his hammer and looked fiercely at Edgar, who was also looking at him fiercely.

The girl with the red hood was none other than Roderica, who was summoning the spirit for Tanes in the Round Table Hall at the border area.

"Humph."

The lion hybrid snorted coldly, blocking Edgar's gaze and using his majestic body to protect Xugu and Roderica.

Roderica looked at the tense atmosphere between the two sides, placed one hand on her chest, and asked nervously: "Lord Faded, what is going on? I, I feel like a lot of similar memories suddenly entered my mind..."

At the same time, Edgar, Irena, Xugu and Dallion all held their foreheads at the same time.

The lion hybrid, however, was unfazed and wondered what had happened to them. Especially when Xiu Gu's face showed a pained expression and his body was shaking, the lion hybrid even approached and helped him up with concern.

To Tanes's surprise, it was Roderica who came to her senses first.

Her clear emerald eyes gradually turned golden, and the golden blessing returned to her body. Roderica looked at Tanes with admiration and heartache, and murmured, "Lord Faded, you have worked so hard."

Tanes gave Roderica a familiar smile: "Roderica, welcome. But you may be very busy these days, spirit-training? No, not spirit-training, but some clerical work. Kenneth Hyde will explain it to you in detail, he is almost too busy these days. Do you know Kenneth Hyde? If you do, that's good." Although Roderica was a little surprised that her job changed from spirit-training to simpler and easier clerical work, she immediately agreed because it was arranged by the Faded One she trusted.

This is why Tanes summoned Roderica. Roderica, who is also a member of the royal family, must have received a good higher education and can solve the problem that Kenneth Hyde is currently too busy to handle alone.

With the residents summoned by Tanes not long ago, Kenneth Hyde will definitely have more work to do next.

If Tanes didn't help Kenneth Hyde find some assistants, the naive nobleman would definitely complain to Tanes in his dramatic way while working hard until he collapsed.

On the other side, Edgar and his daughter came back to their senses from their memories. The father turned around and wanted to hug his daughter tightly but was worried that the hard armor on his body would hurt her.

Tanes gestured to Roderica to talk later and walked over. When he passed by the lion hybrid, the latter bowed slightly to him.

"The wise and benevolent King Elden," the lion hybrid said sincerely.

Tanes nodded slightly, then stood in front of Edgar and his daughter Irena. He cleared his throat and said, "Edgar, let me check Irena's body first."

Edgar, the middle-aged knight did not agree immediately, but showed an expression of hesitation and worry on his face.

He knew from the memory of a certain reincarnation that Tanes had become the King of Elden, so he did not dare to disobey Tanes' orders, but his deep love for his daughter gave him the courage to stand between Tanes and Irena.

Tanes watched Edgar's actions and decisively pulled out a King's Army straight sword from his space backpack. He placed the sharp blade against Edgar's neck, sighed slightly, and then shouted sternly, "Edgar! You've recovered those memories, so you should know why I did this. I have no tolerance for insanity. But I promise you, as long as Irena doesn't have the witch with insanity living inside her, she will be fine. On the contrary, I will give her an easy job."

Edgar's movement was sudden, his knees buckling as he landed heavily on the soft, golden grass. The grass didn't leave a deep mark, but Edgar's body, as if drained of strength, sank deeply into the grass.

The sound of his kowtow echoed beneath the tranquil golden tree. The blood on his forehead was like a cruel red flower, slowly blooming under the golden light, each drop of blood reflecting Edgar's inner struggle.

Then he raised his head, his lips trembling, and his voice was filled with a subtle cry: "Your Majesty Tanes, Irena is absolutely not a lackey of Madness. She is so kind, even towards hybrids."

Tanes remained unmoved. He looked at the blind, bewildered, and frightened Irena and said slowly, "Irena may not be the one, but that doesn't mean the Mad Fire hasn't planted a seed in her. I once had a friend named Yura. When I was weak, he protected me from a powerful Blood Finger that was hunting Faded Ones. He also charged alongside me when I challenged the dragon. In the end, he died in battle with a pure Purple Blood Finger."

Tanes took a deep breath and looked at Edgar, who also had a bewildered expression on his face. He tried his best to suppress his anger towards Mad Fire and said in a low voice, "You must be curious why I mentioned this friend. It's because he has been inhabited by one of Mad Fire's lackeys—Shapolili! After Yura's death, this shameless Mad Fire lackey took over his body!"

"And you are undoubtedly aware that after the death of your daughter Irena, a Mad Fire Witch, Heida, appeared with the exact same appearance and voice. Edgar, I don't believe a knight who has guarded Morn for so many years couldn't see that this was a Mad Fire conspiracy, even if you were once consumed by a bloodthirsty frenzy."

Irena then spoke, her voice weak and somewhat frightened, "From your voice, are you the kind-hearted fader who helped me deliver the letter to my father?"

Tanes looked at Irena, who was trembling with fear and reaching out her hands to try to find her father. He calmed down and nodded, "Yes, it was me. But because of something that happened later, I need to check your body for any marks left by the Mad Fire Followers. I apologize, but I will not stop checking your body because it is very important to me."

Irena nodded. "From your willingness to deliver the letter for me, I knew you were a kind person. Although I can't see, I can hear the deep sadness and anger in your tone. This shows that you have been deeply hurt by the 'mad fire' you mentioned. To reassure you, please feel free to examine my body."

"Irena..." Edgar heard his daughter's words, tightly grasped her soft hand, and whispered his daughter's name.

Irena sensed her father's presence and soothed Edgar with gentle words, "It's okay, father. Lord Fader is truly a kind person. He was the only one willing to listen to the requests of a blind girl like me, and he didn't bully me because I couldn't see. So I trust him."

Then she turned to the place where Tanes had just spoken and said, "Please begin, Lord Faded."

Just as Irena finished speaking, the golden tree was under Tanes' control, and several golden blessings poured into the blind girl's body.

Furthermore, he possessed a catalyst for prayer. The Golden Rule's fundamentalist prayer, the "Principle of Return," which removed all mimicry and revealed the true face, was unleashed alongside the golden light emanating from Tanes' body.

However, there was no change in Irena's body, which meant that there was no epilepsy in her body.

Tanes calmly said to Irena, who didn't know the examination was over yet, and Edgar, who looked worried, "The examination is over, Irena. There's nothing wrong with your body."

When Edgar saw this, he collapsed on the golden grass and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tanes looked at Irena. Facing this kind-hearted girl who had been innocently dragged into the conspiracy of the Mad Fire, his tone softened again. He said to her, "Irena, remove the bandages that bind your blind eyes. As a reward for your willingness to undergo the examination, I will grant you sight."

After Tanes finished speaking, Irena suddenly felt a warmth surging through her body, and then the warmth rushed straight to her eyes which were in darkness.

And Edgar knew that his daughter's body was being wrapped in the golden blessing from the golden tree.

He looked at Tanes, who pointed at Irena and then turned and walked towards D, leaving this place temporarily to the father and daughter with a tragic fate.

Before Irena's eyes, darkness seemed like thick ink, boundless and weighing heavily on her vision. However, within this endless darkness, wisps of golden light began to quietly bloom, until the light completely filled her eyes.

Then the next moment, Irena felt that the light was blocked by something, and then she realized that it was the cloth wrapped around her eyes that blocked the light.

Edgar stood up and looked at his daughter excitedly as she took off the blindfold, revealing a pair of bright golden eyes that looked at him smartly.

"Father?" Irena felt a familiar and reassuring aura from the unfamiliar middle-aged knight and subconsciously called out.

At this time, D said to Tanes who was walking towards him, looking at the father and daughter hugging each other, "You showed me a good reunion scene. But I didn't expect that the weak Faded One, um... would become the King of Elden. This is really beyond my expectations."

Tanes smiled and said, "It's not just Edgar and Irena who are reunited. You also have an old friend who is looking forward to meeting you."

"Oh?" D looked at Tanes in confusion, but found that the other party's eyes passed him and looked behind him.

Tanes shouted to the magician who was hesitant in the distance and didn't dare to come over: "Roger, how long are you going to stay where you are?"

　Thanks for the 3000 favorites!! (Kowtow) Thank you all for your recommendations, monthly tickets and rewards!!!
　　There is really no foreshadowing in Irena, and there is no Dianhuo hiding to cause trouble. I don’t like writing this kind of foreshadowing.

　　Summoning this father and daughter was purely to reunite them. After all, the daughter had died tragically in the border area, and the father had gone mad in pursuit of revenge.

　　I know there are a lot of conspiracy-theorizing versions that suggest Irena is the problem, but in my case, I chose the version where Irena is just an innocent girl caught up in a conspiracy. The problem is Haida, so go find her.

　　In addition, I will not write CP randomly. For me, the friendship between men and men, and between women and women is pure and noble friendship or comradeship.

　　There is also the conflict between the indigenous people of the border region and the hybrids, and even the subhumans. This point must be expressed.

　　We have all played games, and we all know that the races in the border area are not just playing house games on the surface.

　　On the contrary, there are deep prejudices and conflicts between races in the border areas.

　　How to resolve these prejudices and contradictions is what I have to deal with and describe, rather than just telling a fairy tale with a happy ending.

　　Of course, I also promise that I will not use this to write any dark and cruel stories or stories that want to tell some profound moral truths. There is really no need to do that.

　　As for reading, dear readers, the essence is to relax, and now everyone understands many principles, so there is no need to make it so tiring.

　　It is enough to simply write a story with laughter and ordinary touching moments.

　　Finally, thank you all readers for your support again! Please recommend and reward me with monthly tickets~
