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

Chapter 39: It Becomes Justified as Long as It's Witchcraft
Mills came back to his senses from the light and saw the city of Stonewell in the distance.

The walls of Stonewell City rose from the ground, towering into the clouds, a majestic spectacle. They were constructed from delicately squared stones, their bluestone texture giving them an exceptionally solid appearance. Their astonishing height made them seem to connect the blue sky and white clouds, as if they were about to break through the heavens.

The rough, nearly square blocks used in the wall were polished and processed by stonemasons to create neat edges, making the wall more durable and sturdy. Each stone was placed in a specific position and tightly joined with the surrounding stones to form an amazing wall.

At regular intervals, towers stood like sentry posts. These octagonal towers not only served as a defensive measure but also provided stable support for the city walls. They allowed for multi-angle arrow fire, further strengthening the defenses.

From a distance, it looks like a huge Gothic sculpture.

The golden border makes the stone walls in the city gorgeous and luxurious, as if telling you that it is a golden paradise.

The surface of the city wall of Stonewell is decorated with great care. The gray color of the stone wall complements the golden flags on the edging, adding more elegance and nobility.

The walls are adorned with a wealth of relief and carving techniques, making each stone more exquisite and detailed. For example, the tops of the towers are adorned with branches, like branches growing outwards, and are beautifully decorated, as if they are raising their hands to the sky in prayer.

Mills exclaimed as he looked at the beautiful blonde girl with golden eyes in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Ms. Roderica, may I ask what city in the distance is...?"

Rodlika clasped her hands together in front of her chest. She had just been praying in the direction of the golden tree.

After hearing Mills' words, she lowered her hands and replied with a smile, "Please don't worry, Mr. Mills. This is Lord Tanes. He is casting a spell to call back his territory and people."

After she finished speaking, she observed Mills' expression inconspicuously.

Sure enough, after Mills heard the word "witchcraft", the curiosity on his face disappeared, and was replaced by admiration and sighs.

"Lord Tanes is truly powerful. I've only heard that wizards can perform all kinds of magical spells, but I didn't expect it to be so grand." Mills exclaimed as he looked at the golden tree in the distance that was emitting two different lights.

Roderica nodded secretly in her heart. Lord Kenneth Hyde was right. No matter what strange things happened, as long as she told these people that it was Lord Faded who was casting witchcraft, they would have all kinds of reasons to convince herself.

If strange things happen again, just use this timeless rhetoric to deal with the humans, dwarves, and elves outside.

Rodlika thought about it, with a smile on her face, and stopped by several elven-style wooden houses.

The cabin is constructed from rough logs, the surface of which is faintly marked by the passage of time. The moss-covered roof blends in with the surrounding natural landscape, like a long-standing tree in the forest.

A few rays of sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves and fell in front of the wooden house.

Scattered around the cabin are some beautifully carved log stools, covered with moss, which is soft and elastic.

The door of the wooden house was half-open, revealing a soft wood fragrance.

In front of the door hung a small ornament woven from dry branches, swaying gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

On both sides of the wooden house, vines slowly climb along the walls, with a few crystal clear flowers interspersed among the emerald green leaves.

Mills and others looked a little dumbfounded. It was more like a work of art than a wooden house.

Rodlika turned around and said to Mills and others behind her: "This is the accommodation that Lord Kenneth arranged for you. It has the most basic daily necessities. If you are still not satisfied..."

Mills's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he asked nervously, "Is this really the place for us to live? Isn't it a little inappropriate? These houses should be for elves, right?"

Although Mills had never seen an elf, he had heard descriptions of their appearance and whereabouts from the elders in his village who had seen elves.

So when he saw these wooden houses for the first time, he thought: Yes, these are the houses where elves should live.

The people following behind him also nodded after hearing Mills' words.

Although the eyes of these people revealed the desire to live there, they looked at themselves and saw that they did not fit in with the exquisite house, and felt a little ashamed. They felt that they were not worthy of living there and would only make the house dirty.

Roderica maintained her amiable smile. "Don't worry. These houses were originally built by the elves to help Lord Tanes. They were originally intended for human habitation. However, since there aren't many people in the territory, many of them are left unused."

Then he winked mischievously and said, "Or do you want to live in the dwarves' stone house? Although the environment inside the two houses is similar, dwarves are naturally a bit noisy. If you can tolerate the noise the dwarves make all day long, I will take you there."

Mills immediately waved his hand and said quickly: "No need, we can just live here."

Roderica nodded, leaning over and making a gesture of invitation. "You can choose your own houses. Soldiers will come and bring you some clean clothes shortly. Each house has a bathing area. The water pool is behind the cabins. It's filled with clean river water that Lord Kenneth just ordered the soldiers to fill. But from now on, you'll have to fetch water yourself. The stream is not far from here."

"We are now at Hyde Fortress. A little further south is Morn City. See that big castle and city walls? That's it. Morn City is inhabited by the people of the Golden Tree. If you're interested, you can go and say hello, but be aware that some people might have bad tempers. There are also some elves and dwarves living there. When you have money later, you can buy things from them. Behind Morn City is Stonewell City, which Lord Tanes just summoned. It should be quite empty right now, so you'll slowly get to know it."

Mills listened carefully to what Roderica said, took note of the things to pay attention to, and thanked her gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Roderica."

After watching these humans excitedly walk towards the wooden house built by the elves, Roderica said goodbye to them and left.

On the other side, Tanes rode Torret and came to the city of Moren.

"Lord Tanes, welcome back."

Tanes had just dismounted when he heard D's respectful voice.

He looked up and found D standing at the door of the Moren Castle, waiting for him meticulously.

Behind him, Roger was leaning against the edge of the castle corridor. Seeing Tanes looking at him, he slightly raised the brim of his pointed hat with his hand and greeted Tanes with a smile.

Tanes shouted in surprise, "D-Roger? You two actually came back from Erin Vaughan? When?"

He walked over quickly, first giving D an unexpected hug, and then gave Roger, who was walking towards him, a hug as well.

D shook himself uncomfortably and replied, "We just got back today, but it was only this morning."

Roger added, "Yes, and we were just explaining the situation of Elin Vorn to Neferi Lu. But suddenly we felt a strong light and knew you were back."

As Tanis and the lion hybrids headed for the great port of Longderdale, he did not forget Gandalf and another region he had mentioned: Elinworn.

When Elrond brought the elves over, Tanes also asked them about Elin Vorn's situation.

Unfortunately, Elrond knew very little about the place called Elinvorn.

Or rather, the relevant information he knew was about Elin Vorn thousands of years ago, and Elrond had no idea what the current situation of Elin Vorn was.

"In the distant Second Age, this land was covered with lush primeval forests, and Erinvorn was the western part of this primeval forest. But then a brutal war took place on this land, the primeval forest was destroyed, and Erinvorn became a land we haven't set foot on for a long time."

Tanes recalled Elrond's words to him and asked Roger and D, "What were the results of your investigation? What's the current situation in Erinvorn?"

Roger paused, then smiled and asked, "One bad news, one good news, which one do you want to hear?"

D rolled his eyes at Roger and said to Tanes, "Don't listen to Roger. There's no such thing as good news or bad news. Lord Tanes, Erin Vaughn's situation can be said to be—"

"Awful."
