Chapter 60 Offering Treasure and Inviting Merit
The eagle carried Glenn and Niang back to Sheffield in early spring, where the snow had long since ceased, and the treetops of the maple and El Tora trees were full of green shoots.
"Look, we're finally back! That's the wooden walls of Sheffield Town! The Baron's Titan Treehouse is the towering Titan Tree. Glenn and Niang shouted happily, and the eagle began to circle and descend over Sheffield.
The sentry post of the wood elves had already seen the giant eagle hovering above Sheffield, and they all waved at the giant eagle in the sky and the two of them.
After a while, the eagles found an excellent landing spot, and in the open space next to the Titan Treehouse in Sheffield's Fountain Square, the giant eagles carrying Glenn and Niang landed steadily in the open space, Glenn and Niang scrambled to flip off the back of the giant eagle, and after the giant eagle let out a chirp, it spread its wings and soared into the sky again, and after lingering in the sky for a while, it flew away in the direction of Green Mountain south of Sheffield Town.
Glenn and Nyon were surrounded by the wood elf inhabitants of Sheffield, who were talking about the unusual landing.
"Ah, isn't this Glenn in the cabin and Niang staring at the woman being carried by the eagles?" The wood elves who knew them whispered.
"Yo, these two Wood Elf warriors returned to Sheffield on a giant eagle, which is a rare honor among Wood Elf warriors. What an enviable treatment. The other wood elves pointed quietly.
"Look at their armor seems to have a little blood stain, it is a stain of black blood, even the Green Mountain Giant Eagle has been dispatched, is there a large number of goblins outside Sheffield Town? I haven't heard of it. A few sharp-eyed townsfolk pointed to Glenn and Nyon's rattan armor.
"What's so strange about this, hasn't the Sheffield guard been strengthened recently? Even the trade routes of Entre were banned. The Wood Elves whispered to each other.
Glenn and Niang ignored the chatter and suspicion of the Sheffield Wood Elf townspeople, they just silently pushed through the crowd and ran towards the Sheffield Baron's Titan Treehouse, while the Wood Elf townsfolk watched them rush into the Baron's Titan Treehouse mansion from a distance.
In the Titan Tree House in the center of Sheffield's town in the Baron's mansion, Baron Wood and Team Deputy Legral happened to be there, they were studying the battle map on the wooden desk with solemn expressions, and the wooden elf regiment sent by the old servant Squire was placed untouched next to the baron's wooden desk for official business. The sudden intrusion of Glenn and Niang almost startled Baron Wood, who was facing the door of the treehouse, and the lieutenant of Legral turned sharply and pressed down on his saber, and then his face like an old engraving showed a rather happy look.
"You're finally back!" The Legral deputy's hand let go of the handle of the saber, slightly agitated.
"They are" Baron Wood felt that this was simply inexplicable, and there was even a hint of anger on his slightly tired face, the two wood elf soldiers broke into the mansion without being polite to him, and Legral actually had a happy smile on his face, "Ral, what do these two unruly guys do?" They weren't like the patrols who came to report. ”
"Captain, these are the two elite warriors of the Wood Elf Special Operations Team we have sent. The yellow-skinned one is Glenn and the other is Niang. The deputy of Team Legral introduced Wood to the sudden intruders of the two barons' mansions.
"Report!" A Wood Elf patrol also rushed into the Titan Treehouse during the introduction of Team Legral, and he looked at the two Wood Elf warriors who were panting, "These are the two who were carried back from the north by the giant eagle. ”
"Got it, patrolman, stand down." Wood waved his hand at the patrolman in the treehouse who entered behind, and then he couldn't wait to take out the strip of Teucer's blood-lettered cloth from his bosom and looked at Glenn and Nyon, "Tell me, what happened to you Wood Elf Einsatzgruppen!" Warrior Glenn, warrior Niang. I'm sorry, I thought you were unruly ordinary soldiers. You came to me in such a hurry, you must have brought important news from the Einsatzgruppen! Say it! ”
"Quick, Your Excellency Baron, I will tell you what has happened in the operation." Legral was equally anxious, and he shouted in a commanding tone.
"Report to the captain and the team vice-president, we have completed the investigation mission of Tuang Village and done an extra big thing!" Glenn and Niang stood still, and their words were surprisingly unanimous.
"But you're long past the deadline for completing your mission, do you know how anxious we are these days about Teucer's bloody cloth and your delay!" The deputy of the Legral team put back his old engraving on his countenance, and he put away his stingy smile.
"Paris, my old fellow. Don't interject just yet, I'm going to ask these two fighters what happened to them during their mission, which will be very helpful for us to analyze the current situation. Wood got up from the wicker chair, patted Legral on the shoulder, and walked over to Glenn and Niang, who immediately knelt down on one knee, "I want to hear your statement, remember not to brag to me in your statement." Although you have overdue, I know that this operation is beyond your ability. And you say that you have not only accomplished your mission, but also done great things. I'm interested in that. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency the Baron of Glory!" Glenn and Niang are helped up by Wood, and they begin to tell the story of the Wood Elf Einsatzgruppen and his party, Wood does not like the stammering Nyon, but prefers Glenn's colorful description, from the attack on the village of Toueng to the vicious fight on the hill south of the village of Toueng.
"When you talk about ЫКел, how can you be sure that the monsters that crawled out of the snow are ЫКел?" Wood coldly interrupted Glenn's narration, his deep eyes seemed to be penetrating Glenn's heart, "I hope you can explain it more clearly." ”
"Yes, Lord Glory Baron, I once read the book "Studies in the Dark Arts" by the Elder of the First Age Awakened in the altar of the Druid, and I remember it clearly: ЫКел, the corpses contaminated by the Demon Lord Trian rose from the ground and faltered, they gnawed at the people of Forrester, we had to flee, I hope the scorching sun and the forest will rot these corpses and the gnawed people." Glenn read out the tome from this memory, and Wood nodded affirmatively as he listened.
"Then later, Teucer stumbled upon a way to kill these walking corpses, and led you from the village of Tuang, which was surrounded by walking corpses, to the South Hills, right?" Wood is very good at pushing aside Glenn's embellishments, and his questions are brief and to the point.
"Yes, on my reminder, Teucer led us from the south to break through the hordes of walking corpses that were besieging us, and climbed up the South Hills, but the growing number of walking corpses surrounded the whole of the South Hills, and we held the hills until the early morning, until we ran out of arrows. And we, at that time, only 9 players remained. Glenn's description came to an abrupt end, and he noticed that Wood's deep eyes were full of incomprehension.
"At that time, Teucer didn't have time to write the blood letter and still let the giant eagle pass it back, so," Wood's words changed, "this has to be related to the giant eagle in Green Mountain again, but what Toke's blood cloth says is true, and this blood letter is also true, and it was sent back to Sheffield by the giant eagle, so the giant eagle happened to rescue you?" Teucer must have been alive at the time of the rescue. ”
"At that time, Teucer was indeed alive and fighting side by side with both of us, and we had already realized that we had died in battle. Your Excellency the Glorious Baron, you are not wrong in your guesses, but the Giant Eagle did not stumble upon us who were trapped in the beast, but I tried to summon it. It was because of my calling that we were able to do some of the more important things that followed. Glenn quickly pulled out a gift from his bosom from the centaur patriarch Alec—the delicate blue fluorite that glowed with light, and a tied parchment handscroll, "We've brought this for you." ”
"Such a large piece of round and delicate blue fluorite!" Wood's eyes were filled with the glint of blue fluorite, and even Legral was dumbfounded, "Captain, you can't find such a large piece of blue fluorite in the Elf King's garden courtyard!" This is a real treasure! ”
"Yes, this is a gift from Alec Takr Gilberg, the centaur chief of the caves of the Highlands, and the parchment scroll is his handwriting." Glenn saw the opportunity, and he tried to keep smiling as much as possible, "The big things we were forced to do under the commission of the Giant Eagle should be in that handwritten letter. The centaurs are willing to be friends with the Wood Elves of Elvenia for generations. ”
Wood happily played with the polished round and delicate blue fluorite in his hand, and slowly opened Alec's handwriting:
---------------------------------------------
All the Highland Mountain Gilbergs salute the glorious Lord Baron Wood with Alex's blessing:
We Gilbergs recognize the tremendous contribution you Wood Elves have made to our Gilberg family, and we admire the bravery of your five Wood Elven Task Force members: Tok Hovent, Glenn, Meck, Dahl, and Nyon, for their bravery in driving away the Calamity of Alex Entrenched in Goodbe.
If it were not for the great deeds they accomplished with their lives, the Highland Mountain, the Iron Ore Ridge, Goodbay, and even the noble lords would have been poisoned by the resurrected monsters and goblins, for which we Gilberg would like to express our great respect for the great help provided to your baron and the heroic battle to drive away the Goodbay Alex Plague, whether alive or not, and hope that through this opportunity, the clansmen of the two races will become friendly neighbors and friends in the days to come.
Whereas, prior to the mission, the Einsatzgruppen had promised me and my people that your country and your lords would support the highland mountains, iron ore ridges, and the completely destroyed town of Goodbay claimed by our Gilberg people, and I hope that Your Excellency will keep your oath to the Elwinian Wood Elves to us Gilbergs and write a letter back to fulfill it.
Attached to the book is one of the precious treasures of the Gilberg family, a delicate blue fluorite that represents the holy light of Alex, hoping that the light of this blue fluorite will always bring light to you and your family.
Patriarch of the Gilberg family: Alec Tucker Gilberg

"Privately agree to support the Centaur Claim to the Highland Mountains, the Iron Ore Ridge, and the completely destroyed Gudebai? Is this bold enough to dare to promise such a thing? Wood smirked as he read Alec's handwriting, snorted softly, and placed it on the wooden desk.
"Your Excellency the Glorious Baron, this is the decision of our temporary acting captain, Tork Hovent!" Glenn lost a smile on his face, he knew deep down that these things related to territory were not something a warrior like them could promise, and he looked at Nyon meaningfully, and secretly glanced at him. Baron Wood was whispering something to the Legral squad lieutenant with the same face as the old engraving.
"yes, that's a stupid idea that our acting captain Teucer came up with in his head!" Niang had an epiphany, and his whole person looked nervous, and he echoed Glenn's words, and suddenly began to justify.
"Oh? It's a great way to get reinforcements! And it's in our interest. Tecke, the friend of the Wood Elves, could not have imagined such a clever move. Baron Wood and Legral laughed, "This is a very clever move, no one takes it seriously in such a few areas, so we will safely get rid of the heart disease that Brother Wang and the Trians have been entangled in, not to mention that we have gained a strong ally!" This is undoubtedly the most correct thing that Teucer kid has done! ”
"Yes, the ownership dispute in the three regions is indeed a big problem between us and the Trians, and I can't imagine that the clever boy of Teucer can solve it by mistake! In this way, the centaur Gilberg is sandwiched between the Trians and us as a balanced buffer, and the centaur undoubtedly acts as a barrier to our Elvenia, and if any foreign race wants to work against us, we have plenty of time to prepare and send troops in Erwinia! Hah, of course we have to support their claims, which is a pretext that we can use to resolve disputes when the Trians find fault in the future. The centaurs have taken control of the first-line areas of Goodbay, Iron Ore Ridge, and Highland Mountains, and we Wood Elves can't control it! And we now admit that they have also taken advantage of the precarious situation in the Kingdom of Rinston! A bright smile appeared on Legral's old engraving face again.
"I really want to reward our clever friend of the Wood Elves, Mr. Tok Hovent, who has no doubt what it takes to be a Wood Elf nobleman! Warrior Glenn, you have also done a good job, you can be Toc's deputy, your summoning of the Giant Eagle is very timely, one credit, then our Tok Hovent throughout this campaign must still have a long talk with the Patriarch of the Highlands in Goodbay! I think I should call him Mr. Nobleman in Sheffield's Lands. Wood looked very happy, he walked up to Glenn and patted Glenn on the shoulder, "You're also a good soldier with cleverness. ”
"Yes, his sword is also very suitable for the title of the noble lord of the wood elves." Legral agreed with Baron Wood's proposal, "I have seen that Tocke Hovent is not a simple human being, and that he has many good qualities that the Wood Elves do not have.
"Ral, in fact, I recommended him to the Wood Elf Special Task Force, which is a test for him, and it's no wonder that my good sister has a crush on him. I was wrong before. Wood smiled and snorted at his old companion.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Miss Avenna's eyesight is indeed good, and she has found a piece of unpolished talc jade, which I think can be sharpened and carved. I can vouch for my life that Mr. Todder Hovent will be a great man, and will be your good assistant. Legral laughed.
"But, your Excellency, Mr. Todder Hovent," said Glenn, whose face turned pale and a hint of chagrin, looked at Nyon beside him again, and stammered, "Mr. Thorfen is dead!" Miss Evenna's jade was shattered, oh no, it's missing. ”
