Transmigrated as a Ghost

568 Chapter 568 Gifts and Going to Norr Village

Receiving advice from Andrea to try and get the aid of a man named Dagwood who was in Norr village, Marcus had a feeling he had heard this name before.

However, he could not place exactly where, and as much as he thought about it, he just could not bring up a face to the name or where he had heard it before.

'Maybe someone mentioned him to me before. Well, I guess I will figure it out when I meet with him.'

Shrugging it off, Marcus stopped trying to remember who this guy was and responded to Andrea.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. If he is still in Norr Village I will see if he is willing to help. Now I am going to go and talk to the chief a bit more, before settling down for the night. Tomorrow I will make my way to Norr Village and get what I need to done there. Oh, and after we have dealt with the beasts and monster, I will treat everyone in the village including your tribe to a feast."

Her ears perking up when Marcus said the word feast, Andrea said, "I am looking forward to it. I will make sure to tell the others to raise their motivation."

After that Marcus left the main hall where Andrea's tribe had gathered and headed back to the village chief's house.

It was already late into the night, and he figured he could stay there and discuss some other things tomorrow.

Luckily when he arrived, Amos was still awake and was more than accommodating.

"You can take Marianna's room. She is currently in River Landing attending school, so she is not here anyway."

Hearing this Marcus was a bit surprised but did not pry since Amos looked pretty tired.

Heading into Marianna's room, he found that it was pretty bare as she must have taken most of her possessions with her. Still the bed was there and that was pretty much all he needed.

'Guess I should get some rest since I probably will not have a chance for a while after this.'

Shutting down his brain like a piece of equipment, Marcus quickly fell asleep in order to pass the time and make sure that he was in absolutely peak condition.

When he woke up the next day, he came out to find Amos and the old chief preparing some oatmeal and roasted nuts for breakfast.

Though Marcus also caught sight of them adding a bit of sugar to the oatmeal, probably for him since they knew he was technically a noble even if he asked them not to treat him like one.

"Amos if you would not mind getting the eggs we stored away. It would be poor manners of us to not give Irene our best." The former village chief said to his son.

But as Amos left the kitchen to go and get their precious store of eggs, he saw Marcus coming out of the hallway where the bedrooms were located.

"Ah Irene you are awake. We are preparing breakfast right now and if you would just wait ten minutes it will be ready." Amos said with a slightly flustered expression.

He then rushed off to the back of the house and put on his thick winter clothing, before heading outside to the place where they kept the eggs.

"Good morning chei-"

Moving up to the former village chief, Marcus was going to greet him and nearly reflexively called him chief.

"Good morning to you as well Lady Irene. And as I am no longer the chief, you can just call me Raymond now."

Nodding his head, Marcus said, "Well then good morning Raymond, and thank you in advance for breakfast."

After that interaction he moved over to the couch and waited for them to finish preparing breakfast.

Once they had all finished eating, Marcus looked towards the two of them intently, and said, "I actually have a few things that I was given by the kingdom to distribute to the villages and towns up here."

He opened his item box and took out a crate that was full of cured meat which he opened up to let Amos and Raymond see.

Both of them went wide eyed seeing so much food, and all of being meat which was pretty scarce for them especially during the winter.

"I also have another crate filled with dried fruits and vegetables that you can distribute to everyone in the village. Oh, and no need to worry about sharing it with Andrea and her tribe. I already gave them some."

With the large supply of extra food that Marcus had brought, both Amos and Raymond brighten up immediately and asked if they could begin disrupting the food right away.

"Yeah, that should not be a problem. Let me take everything to the main hall and I will leave it all there." Marcus said as he put the crate of cured meat back into his item box.

The three of them headed over to the main hall, and Marcus dropped off the two crates that were filled with preserved food that would allow the village to have enough to eat to get through the winter.

Yet this was not all Marcus left here, as he pulled out two magic bags from his backpack that was full of them.

"Here, the deputy king sent me with these as well and told me to give them out." Marcus said as he handed one of the bags to Amos. "Inside you will find fifty sets of winter clothing that have been enchanted with a heating formation."

Taking this bag, Amos was in utter shock. Something like this was worth more than their entire village.

But that was not all that Marcus handed over, as he passed over another magic bag.

"This one Is a gift from me. In it you will find one thousand gold coins that you can use to replenish the goats you lost, and to cover any expenses the village has for a while."

Amos blinked furiously as Marcus placed this magic bag into his hand, wondering if he ahd heard him correctly.

A thousand gold coins was probably what the entire village would earn in forty years, yet Marcus just handed it over along with a magic bag like it nothing.

"Lady Irene there is simply no way that we can accept this. That is a large sum of money that you must have worked very hard for. After all you have already done for us, it would be impossible for us to take something like this." Raymond said while Amos was still in a daze.

Naturally while this was not that great a sum to Marcus. To this remote village, it was a massive amount that was more than they could ever expect to have.

Even a single gold coin could get them far here as they lived simple lives away from the hustle and bustle of the kingdom.

"Sorry but I have already given it away, and it would be rude to take back a gift. I am just paying back the kindness you gave me two and a half years ago with some interest. Anyway, I am a noble now. A thousand gold is not difficult for me to earn in the royal capital."

Not allowing them to return the thousand gold, Marcus swiftly left the building before they could offer any more resistance to his generous gift.

"Well, I am going to stop by Norr Village and will be back tomorrow. If you really do not want that gold, you are free to give it to Andrea or throw it out into the snow for all I care. It is yours to do with as you wish now."

After saying this he disappeared from view as he launched into the sky with his iron wings, and began flying in the direction of Norr Village.

Moving at an incredible pace Marcus covered the thirteen miles between the two village's in just a little under a half hour.

Normally at this time of year it would have been a harrowing trek through dense snow and would have been a multiple day journey to get here, but for Marcus it was just a quick flight.

Looking down on the village he could see that it was about twice the size of the one he had just left, though its condition was not doing the greatest.

A dozen buildings that were closest to the woods had been heavily damaged or demolished, and the merger fence around the place had been broken through multiple times and shoddily patched.

However, Marcus did not have long to examine the state of the village as he saw a horde of beasts attacking.

Except these were not your average beasts, and Marcus had never seen these before, though their did bare a resemblance to something he had seen recreations of back on Earth.

'Dinosaurs!'

Seeing the reptiles covered in thick white feathers, there was no doubt in Marcus' mind that these things looked like the creatures he had seen in movies or video games.

'There are a lot of them.'

Scanning the ground from above he identified around fifty of these dinosaur-like beasts.

'They look like velociraptors, though five of them are quite a bit bigger and higher level. Probably they evolved and are the leaders.'

Once Marcus had finished analyzing the battle from above and had identified the area that was in the most trouble, he dropped into a nosedive.

Speeding towards the ground he did not pull up and slammed into the ground at full speed. Right into one of the larger raptors that was about to tear a soldier to shreds.

The beast even at level thirty-six stood no chance against Marcus' impact and was crushed into the ground.

Walking out of the crater he had just created, he looked back at the terrified solder that he just saved, and said, "Reinforcements have arrived."
