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

Chapter 38 Stonewell
Although Tanes was confused about the current state of the golden tree, he tried his best to calm his somewhat anxious mood and led the hybrids who followed him with the corpses of their compatriots into the castle of Moren City.

Tanes understood the significance of returning to the tree for those who believed in the golden tree. Moreover, this was the first time the hybrids had returned to the tree in many years. He did not want to ruin their mood by urging them.

You see, when passing by the residential area of ​​the Golden People outside the city of Moren, the hybrids all straightened their chests without exception, and followed Tanes into the castle of Moren City in the surprised eyes of the Golden People.

"Let's do this right here. Let these hybrids who died gloriously in battle return to the embrace of the golden tree."

Tanes said as they arrived at the separate large courtyard where the golden tree was located.

Then he came to a hybrid and picked up a frozen hybrid corpse from the cart pushed by the other party.

"Your Majesty Tanes? How can you come here..." The hybrid widened his eyes and hurriedly tried to reach out to help.

Tanes dodged to the side and said calmly to him and the hybrids behind him, "Let us see them off together. Although I know that in your hearts, it is an honor for them to die fighting for me. But if possible, I still hope that they can live."

The hybrid withdrew his hand. He looked at the hybrids who were coming in one after another around him and nodded silently.

Tanes' words made the hybrids, who were originally a little emotional, become solemn.

The hybrids also realized that no matter how great an honor it was to return to the tree, their departed compatriots would never be able to stand up and shake hands with them again.

They pushed carts into the courtyard one by one, and like Tanes, they picked up the bodies of their compatriots and came to the golden tree.

Tanes gently placed the cold, scaly hybrid corpse in his arms on the golden grass swaying in the wind, removing the freezing effect of the snow magic.

The golden tree, shimmering with golden light, swayed gently in the wind. Its branches crisscrossed and swayed in time with the wind, making a rustling sound, as if singing a mournful elegy for the hybrids who had died on the battlefield.

The golden leaves slowly drift down, and they tremble with the branches, as if they are tears shed by the golden tree.

Beneath the golden tree, the bodies of the hybrids were neatly laid out. Their expressions were serene and peaceful, as if they were simply sleeping.

Golden leaves fluttered down lightly, silently covering the fallen hybrid bodies.

Suddenly, a faint golden light emanated from the corpses. This soft light gradually spread, accompanied by bursts of subtle flickering. The hybrids' bodies began to become transparent, until they transformed into clusters of dazzling light particles.

They jumped and spun in the air, surrounding Tanes and the hybrids, as if saying their final farewell.

After turning a few times, they began to rise slowly and finally merged back into the golden tree.

There was complete silence all around, with only the sounds of swaying branches and the rustling of fallen leaves in the wind.

Tanes stood there, closed his eyes, and prayed for the hybrids who returned to the tree.

Behind him, all the living hybrids prostrated themselves on the golden grass, knelt three times, then raised their hands high and murmured their thoughts for their deceased compatriots.

Tanes waited quietly until the last hybrid stood up and saluted him, then he said, "Go find Nefe Lu and have her arrange for someone to prepare your supplies for your return to Longdedale, including weapons, rations, bedding, and so on. Well, have her prepare about 300 people first. There are some old supplies in the warehouse in Morn City, which should be enough for you to use in Longdedale."

The hybrids nodded and left one after another, not forgetting to take the cart away from the Golden Tree's courtyard before leaving.

When Tanes was the only one left in the courtyard, he walked to the trunk of the golden tree, closed his eyes, and sensed the Elden Ring in the tree.

There were no problems with the golden tree.

On the contrary, due to the existence of the Shadow Tree, the Golden Tree can better guide the deceased souls, while also preventing itself from absorbing too many dead souls and being infected by the power of death.

Moreover, the appearance of the Shadow Tree also brought new scenes to the Elden Circle.

Tanes recognized at a glance that these images all showed things from the Shadow Land.

He looked at the pictures of the Shadow Land, then shook his head and turned his gaze to the city of Stonewell.

The Golden People are unaware of the existence of the Shadow Land. If the things in it are summoned out and the Golden People know about these buried sins, who knows how much panic will be caused.

What's more, Tanes discovered that what was needed to summon the Shadow Land was not the Golden Blessing, but the Shadow Blessing.

That was the blessing stored in the Shadow Tree. It was clear that the Shadow Tree, having only just appeared, didn't store enough Shadow Blessings. However, while the cities in the Shadow Land couldn't be summoned for the time being, some of his old friends could be summoned to help later.

In short, we must summon the city of Stonewell first, and then if there are any remaining blessings, we must summon more soldiers and residents. The hybrids far away in Longdale also need more compatriots.

The blessings stored by the Golden Tree for nearly a month, plus the Oak souls absorbed from Longdedale, should be enough.

Once Stonewell City was summoned, Storm Eagles, Exile Soldiers, and Lost Knights could also be summoned. Neferi Lu was now the true Storm King, finally no longer having to command Greg's King's Army.

More importantly, there is a demigod from the borderland who can be summoned.

Although the blessing required to summon this demigod is less than half of the blessing required to summon the city of Stonewell.

While Tanes was fantasizing in his mind, he took out the soul collector made by Teacher Serlian.

From the moment the soul collector made of dark blue pyroxene appeared in front of the golden tree, it released a large number of souls of orcs and wargs.

While the golden tree was absorbing these souls, the shadow tree that existed with it was also gradually changing into black and gold.

After releasing all the souls, the Soul Collector lost its light and fell back into Tanes' hands.

Tanes carefully took it back into his arms, and then couldn't wait to touch the trunk of the golden tree again.

In the quiet courtyard, sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the two trees that grow together.

After Tanes confirmed the summons, the Golden Tree and the Shadow Tree simultaneously bloomed with different colors of light.

The golden glow of the golden tree is like flowing molten gold, warm and full of vitality.

The leaves on the tree ripple with golden color under the gentle breeze, like a golden river flowing in the quiet courtyard.

The shadow tree next to it, however, displays its majesty and solemnity in a completely different posture.

Its leaves also sway gently in the wind, but they glow with a black-gold light, like gems hidden in the deep ocean, unobtrusive but hard to ignore.

The light of the two trees intertwined with each other, covering the entire territory of the golden tree. Following a brief earthquake, the towering city of Stonewell appeared around the golden tree.

The city of Moren was moved to the original location of Hyde Fortress, and Hyde Fortress was moved further north from its original location.

As for the location of the level outpost, there is no change, because it is an outpost set up in front of the city of Stonewell.

The settlements of the dwarves and elves remained unchanged, so the fields and farms were not affected.

The emergence of Stonewell City also means that the territory of the Golden Tree has become much larger again.

Now, it takes a whole day to walk from Stonewell to Morn, and only half a day to get from Morn to Hyde Fortress.

It's time to build a carriage-friendly road between Stonewell, Morn, and Hyde Fortress.

As Tanes thought about it, he continued to immerse his mind in the Elden Circle.

There is still some blessing from the golden tree left, and he wants to summon some more things.

Inside the Lord's Hall of Morn City, Roger looked out the window at the fading light and the magnificent silhouette of Stonewell City in the distance. He smiled and said to D and Neferi Lu behind him, "Shall we guess what else Tanes summoned this time?"

D was originally praying when the light enveloped him, but after hearing Roger's words, he said, "Boring."

Seeing his friend reject him, Roger curled his lips deliberately and looked at Nepheli Lu.

Neferi Lu looked at the small black dot rising from the distant Stonewell City. After closing her eyes for a while, she opened them and said excitedly, "I feel a familiar breath in the wind. It's the eagles! The Storm Eagles are back!"
