"Perrante!"

The two elves, who also had pale blonde hair as bright as the morning light, hugged each other tightly. Once the chief of guard of the Silvercrown King of the Forest, then the Archon of the White Tower, and now the administrator of the Grey Ridge, Perrant was enough to polish himself as bright and hard as Mithril armor, if not by nature, and only on rare occasions would he allow his emotions to be revealed, such as now— It wasn't that he didn't know that Kerry wasn't in danger of dying, but the elves were sometimes like humans, and until he saw the elf he had grown from infancy to warrior, Perrant's heart was hanging in the void or crushed under a boulder.

Carey could have said that he was full of joy in his arms of his teacher and relatives, feeling the warm and soft emotions repeatedly pounding in his heart and mind, and after a while, he stepped aside with a smile that even the sun would eclipse, "Come, Cremar, come?"

The lich hesitated, and Perrant smiled slightly, grabbed his arm, dragged him over, and gave him an exact hug like Kerryben, "We miss you all too much, Cremar," he said softly, the names of several elves, who had either soaked in a hot bath with otherworldly spirits, brewed linden wine with him, or fought alongside him in Thundercastle, "That's right. He added, "...... And white faces. ”

"Miss my little dried fish?" The former undead stiffened in the hug, his skin tingling when he touched the druid, and even though he knew it was just a psychological issue, he endured it several times to keep himself from being rude to push Perrant away.

Perrant hadn't been so gentle before. The Lich thought that maybe it was because of Kerryben, anyway, that the Elven Ranger had escaped from his mortal predicament more than once with his help.

"There is no doubt about it. Perrant finally let go of the black-haired spellcaster, "It has a baby again," said the druid happily, "We also grilled small fish for him, but he always seemed to be not satisfied, and every time a boat came, he would run to the beach and wait, and he would look disappointed if he didn't see you." ”

Strong, I am a big foodie empire - said the soul of the other world.

Hehe-by Lich.

"Then it won't disappoint this time. Carey Ben said.

The former undead cast an inquiring look.

"The will of the King of the Silvercrown Forest," said Perrant, "and all the people of the Silvercrown Forest shall return to the Forest within thirty days." He looked at Cremar, "Although your bloodline does not belong to the Silver Crest Forest, you have been determined to belong to the Grey Ridge. And this matter has something to do with you. ”

For a moment, the lich thought that his hole cards had been revealed, but then he thought that the elves had never disdained to do vile and hypocritical things like humans, and if they knew who they really were, they would not be greeted with a hug, but with sharp arrows and swords, or powerful spells.

"When are we leaving?"

Instantly, Perrant thought, but what he didn't expect was that Cremar was now a lord who ruled an entire island. And the kind of ruler who actually holds authority, like the Grand Duchess of the Azores or Anrui of the White Tower and the Partridge Hills, and the three thousand soldiers and their families from the Normans of the Highlands are in desperate need of his protection, and Perrant, who has been the Archon of the White Tower and the administrator of the Grey Ridge, knows of course that now is not a good time for Cremar to leave. He hesitated, "I left the forest four days ago," he said, as his wife teleported him to Cape Fort, where he then transformed into a black-footed albatross and flew across the sea. This was quicker and safer than the other way, but as soon as he stepped into the Bullland Fortress, Kerry's urgent letter about the Dragonfire Islands was transferred to him from Mage Alva. That's why he was able to add an important weight to the scales of the battle so at such an opportune time: "You may be able to return to Grey Ridge in twenty days?"

"Twenty days is enough. The lich said that he knew what Perrant was concerned about, but as far as Amos, the new lord of the Eastern Crown, was concerned, his departure might have eased the poor little slave's tense nerves a little, and that there was also Berdwin and the princess Leona.

Although the former undead were not so optimistic about Berdwin, Tyre's bottom line is much lower than it was a hundred years ago, perhaps because there are fewer and fewer fools willing to sacrifice their lives for so-called justice and fairness? The lord of Thundercastle was a humble hunter before he was chosen by Don Clay Sr., and perhaps his greatest hope was to have a wooden house that would not collapse in the storm, a woman who could bear birth to his children, a crockpot on the fire with boiling broth, and a few more copper coins to drink a shoddy glass of ale in the tavern after selling his prey on a lucky day?

But the god of fate is always bad, even if it once showed a seductive smile to Berdwin, but everyone knows that she is just an out-and-out female cousin, who has generously bestowed a commoner with dignity, supreme power and lofty status, but has not been able to give him the cultivation, vision and heart to match. This made Baldwin unable to get rid of his hatred and fear after the sudden change, although he covered it up well, but now only Kerry Ben and Leona are still unaware, but one of them is blinded by friendship, the other is blinded by love, as for the others, Mei Mi is not without resentment towards Balwin, she is more happy to see a joke, the relationship between Gülen and Baldwin has always been very tense, Adel is a keen and wise guy, as the priest of Rosada, he will not covet the power of the mortal world, so he immediately chose to retreat, and even the knight Xiu around them was also awareDidn't you notice that he hadn't had much contact with Adel since he came back from the side island?

The Lich valued Leona more than Birdwin, and although she was a bit incompetent as a royal daughter, her bloodline and surname more than offset this error, and her father did teach her as an heir, she was both majestic and powerful, and she had sincerity and compassion. She is neither ruthless as the ruler of the Dragonfire Islands, nor shallow and ignorant as An Rui of the White Tower, nor as stubborn as the Norman King of the Highlands, she listens to others and makes trade-offs when necessary, she understands that this plane is not black and white, she can tolerate thieves like Glenn who walk in the dark gray zone, and even if he can offer some of his loyalty, she can use him freely- The princess is more fit to be a leader than Baldwin, if there is anything she is missing. Then it may be that only her love remains, and more directly, Berdwin.

However, this is not impossible, and the soldiers of Thunder Castle may be more willing to submit to Baldwin, after all, he is the man who has fought side by side with them for nearly twenty years, and the reason why Knight Xiu still chooses to return to Baldwin's side is also for this reason, then, Leona can be the banner that is held in Baldwin's hands, and now he needs to think about how to let this former paladin be able to see farther. For example, Adelle, as a priest in Rosada, had never been trained to be an army leader, but he was able to be banished by Dylan Donclay. Gathering four or five thousand men, persuading and managing them, and succeeding in bringing two-thirds or more of them out of a vast wasteland under repeated interception by orcs and thieves, only shows that he has a great talent for this. And now when Baldwin needs manpower the most, if the Lich is in Baldwin's position, he will put Adel in the position of deputy without a hint of hesitation. Not only would this allow him to be used better and more completely, but it would also allow his soldiers and knights to retransfer their love and trust in Adel to him, and would not make them have any doubts about him or any guilt towards Adel - the lich wondered if Berdwin had noticed that since Adel had returned to semi-invisibility, his knights would unconsciously bow their heads when facing Adel, and the soldiers and his family would always kneel down and murmur prayers to Rosada. It's just because Adel gave them great favor and help, but they didn't get the due reward and gratitude.

It's a dangerous situation, Baldwin is a paladin of Tyre, and although his murder has been misinterpreted as a despicable conspiracy by those who believe in him, it will eventually leave a seed in their hearts, and if Baldwin fails to be as just and honest as people think, that seed will sprout and grow, and no one knows what kind of fruit it will bear when the time comes.

He should be grateful that Adel wasn't duplicitous, the lich shook his head, and it only needed a little push, or it wasn't impossible that without Leona and Kerryben, Baldwin's place among the soldiers would be gradually replaced by someone else.

Baldwin may have sensed this, and he was becoming more and more anxious about when the new limbs would be completed, but he still failed to understand that strength, especially personal power, was not everything, and that he was on the path that Tyre did not want. It's a pity that those who find out about this are willing to sit idly by, or don't know how to correct it—after all, Baldwin hasn't shown much of his mistake yet, and they still have deep hopes for him.

It's just that his new limbs may have to wait until they return from the Silvercrown Forest, and the gnomes who died in the tsunami, and the surviving gnomes have to mourn their loved ones for three months in a row, during which they won't do any work, but luckily McGee is safe and sound, and although he has stopped what he does, it doesn't stop his brain from working. He had a lot of new ideas about Baldwin's arm, he made comparisons on paper, and he often disturbed Cremar, which was a bit presumptuous, but the new owner of the side island now had no eunuchs around him, no close knights or mages, no one would care about his rudeness, and the soul of the other world was willing to have a brainstorm with this stinky dwarf, like could he let this arm have its own rocket launch system or something- And the former undead is also willing to listen to McGee's thoughts, in addition to Berdwin's arm, he would prefer to have a silver golem, in his mentor's tower, there are two silver golems, but the mentor said that this is not the work of a gnome, it can only be said that it is an imitation he made on a whim, but all those who have seen the power of these two golems (or non-humans) are shocked.

The Mentor's golem could be placed in a small dimensional pouch at the smallest, and the dwarf McGee said that his father's quicksilver golem could be kept in a test tube at its youngest, much to the lich's dismay.

"Twenty days later, then. The former undead said, "Kerry and I would have returned to Grey Ridge before the morning light swept through the forest. ”

"The stars will shine on your way home, and the darkness will be hidden," said Perrant, who was eager to accompany them until they returned to Grey Ridge, but he had other companions to inform besides Kerriben and Cremar, and a grey gull had just brought news from an elf that he was in the village about a hundred miles from the Bullland Fort, and that if Perrante left immediately, he could get there before sunset. "I'll be waiting for you at Grey Ridge. He said, and then took a step back, and in the astonished gaze of the people changed into a black falcon - it was small, but it could fly at a speed comparable to that of a black-footed albatross, and inland, it was a little more inconspicuous than an albatross that should only be found at sea.

After that, things were much simpler, Cremar gave a power of attorney to the princess Leona, she was no longer the heir of the Norman of the Highlands, but she had royal blood, and as a superficial ruler was more convincing than others, even if everyone knew that the real manager of the side island would only be the former lord of Thundercastle, Berdwin, to the lich's slight surprise, he actually proposed in their small meeting to make Adel his deputy.

He knelt down on one knee before Adelle, bowed his head and begged for his forgiveness, confessing that he had prejudiced him because of jealousy and selfishness, and that he could not trust the priest of Rosada to agree to Adel to give up the respect he deserved and go into self-exile, and he begged Adel to forgive him for his negligence and return to their side as a trusted companion to help him, as well as their soldiers and their families.
