#152 - Rachel the Eagle
The giant eagle carried everyone flying for an entire night, finally landing on a lonely mountain peak the next morning.
With the help of the rising sun on the horizon, the dwarves saw the silhouette of the tall Lonely Mountain behind a continuous range of mountains and plains.
For a time, their hearts surged, their eyes filled with tears of excitement and nostalgia, and they gathered together, hand in hand, looking at the former home and paradise of the dwarven race, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.
Unlike the development of the original plot, after the giant eagles put everyone down on the mountain, they did not choose to leave immediately, but stopped and gathered together, discussing something.
Even more surprisingly, Gandalf was also among them at this time, arguing with the eagles in the common language of humans.
When he heard Liang Yue's question, the old wizard didn't even turn his head, but just waved his hand at him, signaling him not to disturb...
This matter has to be continued from last night's topic~
Simply put, Liang Yue wanted to get a batch of giant eagle chicks from Gandalf and the giant eagle tribe. Even if he couldn't use them as mounts for the time being to soar in the sky, he could still look forward to it in the future.
What he didn't expect was that Gandalf seemed unusually concerned about this request, which he originally thought might be a little impolite and a little unspeakable.
Moreover, the giant eagles, in principle, did not seem to object to his request.
Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was that Liang Yue first had to prove that he did indeed have an independent and vast world as his private territory, as he said.
How to prove that he owned a world was too difficult for Liang Yue, after all, this proposition was too broad.
Simply summoning a few lively cows, sheep, horses, chickens, pigs, and other animals from the stronghold world immediately made Gandalf and the giant eagles' eyes light up.
However, they all said that this was not enough to prove the truth of his words.
So after thinking about it, Liang Yue finally gritted his teeth and decided to take out a "precious" villager spot from his body and give it to one of them!
"First of all, I want to state that although I can relatively freely summon or introduce a batch of plants and animals in and out of my world, this does not include intelligent creatures.
However, if you become my villager, this condition will be relaxed a lot, and it is feasible to temporarily travel back and forth between my world and this original world.
Who will accept this spot, you decide for yourselves~"
That's what Liang Yue said before~
After he finished speaking, Gandalf and Arwen next to him asked him a lot of relevant information about this spot.
For example, what responsibilities and obligations would be borne after being given this spot and becoming his villager, what permissions and benefits would be obtained, and so on.
Liang Yue didn't hide anything about this and answered them one by one.
......
"What kind of place is your world?"
The elf princess Arwen, after listening to Gandalf and the giant eagles' discussion, couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart and ran over to ask Liang Yue directly.
"Quiet, peaceful, pure, natural, magical, but~ there are also some dangers lurking in the dark, such as once it gets to night, or when there is no light.
Many places will spawn some monsters, zombies, skeleton archers, self-detonating monsters, etc., but they are not difficult to deal with, and with careful precautions, there is no substantial threat."
"...Could you be more specific?"
"Specific~ Hmm, right! When I bought that spherical video recorder before, in order to test its function, I recorded some scenes within a small range.
However, the range is not large, only limited to my village, and part of the surrounding area."
Saying that, Liang Yue turned his sleeve and took out the ball from his storage space.
Then, in Arwen's expectant gaze, he tapped the screen with his finger a few times and dialed the video recording progress bar back to the starting point.
Soon, the screen began to show the picture at normal speed.
The first thing that appeared was Liang Yue's handsome face...
At this time, he was looking at the camera with curiosity, watching and fiddling with it back and forth.
After making a few funny expressions, he hummed a little tune and aimed the camera at the surrounding environment.
As the camera slowly rotated, standing on the top floor of the library, he quickly recorded the outline of the entire village in the picture.
Beautiful, quiet, sunny, birdsong and flowers, garden-style classical architecture, integrated with nature... All these adjectives can be placed on the village at this time.
Of course, in the process of the picture flowing, the five women who were also standing on the top floor of the library, practicing Hunyuan Pile, also appeared on the display screen at this time.
Quiet Fragrance Teacher, who was a little distracted during the exercise, after noticing Liang Yue's behavior, also gave a scissor hand to the camera, with a sweet smile on her face.
“The environment there is really nice, um… who are they? Didn't you say this was your own world?”
Looking at Senior Sister Zi and the others who happened to appear on screen, the surprise and curiosity on Arwen's face instantly vanished, and then she squinted at him and asked.
“The five of them are also my villagers, survivors I rescued from another world on the verge of collapse~”
Liang Yue heard this and didn't care what it was, explaining unhurriedly.
“Another, world on the verge of collapse?”
“Yes, it was a world shrouded in ~ um, a vicious plague. Anyone unlucky enough to be infected would almost immediately turn into a monster without thought or emotion, retaining only the instinct to eat.
It's kind of like the zombies created by necromancers!”
“There's actually such a dangerous world!?”
“Yeah~! I once trained in that world for a while and helped some survivors build a safe haven, but unfortunately, not long after I left.
The haven still collapsed, and these five little girls are among the few survivors.”
“Under those circumstances, the hope of a life surviving is indeed small.”
“That's what I'm saying! I can't leave five little girls like them in such a dangerous situation.”
“Then why are there only women among the people you saved, and no men?”
“…I don't have many villager slots left, and I didn't want to save people I didn't know.”
“Hmph~”
…
Listening to Arwen's slightly sarcastic laughter, Liang Yue subconsciously turned his gaze, unexpectedly seeing Bilbo Baggins' figure peeking over from the side.
At this moment, the little hobbit was at least five or six meters away from him and Arwen, tilting his feet and curiously looking at the screen, his mouth unconsciously opening.
Seeing that someone had discovered his intentions, Bilbo immediately showed a slightly embarrassed smile, then put his hands in his pockets, trying to walk away as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Liang Yue simply smiled and waved to the little hobbit, signaling him to come over and watch together.
A moment later, Gandalf and a group of giant eagles finally finished their discussion.
In the end, they decided to let one of the giant eagles, who looked extraordinarily divine but whose feathers and curves vaguely carried a hint of femininity, accept this spot.
“Her name is Rachel, a young giant eagle lady who recently became a mother. She doesn't want to see her children kill each other like she and her siblings once did.
So this lady overcame all objections and made this brave decision.”
Gandalf said, reaching out and patting the mother eagle's feathers, his old face full of loving kindness.
Liang Yue heard this and nodded, then looked at the giant eagle with a smile and greeted.
“Hello~ Rachel.”
“Hello, human.”
“Don't worry, you are indeed very brave, but what I said before is also true, and I am also very happy that you can make such a decision, because it won't be long before you discover.
How wise your current choice is!”
“Thank you, human, oh~! Can you understand my words?”
“Yes, I can understand. In fact, this is a certain ability granted to me by my guardian power. Any species in this world, as long as they can speak, I can understand what they mean.
At the same time, as long as they possess wisdom, they can also understand my language.”
“Wow~! That's amazing! I suddenly feel much more at ease now!”
“Hehe~ Don't be nervous, Rachel. In a moment, you just need to choose to accept the invitation.”
After speaking, Liang Yue moved his mind, instantly summoning his villager invitation interface light screen, and quickly found the 《The Hobbit》 world option on the top horizontal row of world options.
Then, he searched for Rachel's name and avatar in the drop-down menu of this item…
“What is he doing?”
“Not sure, but it looks like he's performing some kind of mysterious magic ritual, after all, this is an invitation from another world.”
“Magic ritual? Then why can't I sense any magic fluctuations?”
“I don't know either, let's just watch quietly from the side. I feel that Liang Yue doesn't have any malicious intentions.”
Looking at someone in front of them pointing and gesturing at the air, with a focused expression on his face, Arwen and Gandalf gathered together at this time.
Their faces were filled with inexplicable expressions, whispering to each other…
And the actions of the two also successfully attracted the attention of the dwarves and the giant eagles on the other side.
Faced with such a mysterious and unknown existence, some showed great nervousness, some had a hint of expectation on their faces, some had eyes full of anxiety, and some opened their mouths in surprise.
Some had even begun to flap their wings unconsciously, murmuring in their mouths, looking like they were ready to fan the wind and escape at any time…
Fortunately, Liang Yue didn't keep everyone waiting for too long~
“Found it~ Rachel!”
Looking at the entry on the light screen in front of him, as well as the appearance and name that were exactly the same as the mother giant eagle in front of him, Liang Yue suddenly smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden, and then gently clicked the invitation sending button~
