Chapter 57: Minas Tirith!(2)
Boromo didn't pay any attention to Yang Yun's curiosity about the white tree, and he strode across the atrium and walked straight to the gate under the tower. Beyond the tall, silent gatekeepers, into the cool, empty hall of the stone tower, and through an empty corridor, finally stopped in front of a metal gate where people were visible.
"It's finally back again. Boromo said with emotion, and then he began to knock on the door.
The door opened almost instantaneously, but no one seemed to be behind it. The people of the Zhongzhou team saw that behind the door was a large hall, the light in the hall came from the windows lined with tall stone pillars on both sides, and the hall also displayed many black marble statues, with the images of various exotic beasts and plants, and the faintly visible roof of the hall shimmered with a dull golden light, mixed with colorful light. There are no ornaments or brocades hanging in this majestic hall, nor are there any wooden objects, but between the pillars there are many reliefs carved into cold stone slabs.
At the end of the main hall, a tall throne carved from marble resembling a helmet canopy was placed on top of the staircase, and on the wall behind it was a large tree in full bloom arranged with precious stones, but the throne was empty. Beneath the throne, on the lowest of the wide staircase, sat a simple black stone chair, on which an old man sat glaring at his knees and holding a scepter with a golden orb at the tip.
"Father!"
When Boromo saw the old man, he couldn't help but shout in surprise, he galloped quickly to the old man's approach, and knelt down on one knee: "Boromo is back!"
Hearing Boromo's voice, the old man opened his eyes and stood up suddenly, and everyone in the Middle-earth team could clearly see his proud face and white ivory skin, as well as his deep black eyes and hooked nose. He was the lord and regent of Minas Tirith, Boromo's father, Dinether, son of Exirion, and the regent of Gondor couldn't help but smile when he saw Boromo standing in front of him unharmed.
"Yes, very good! I am very happy to see you come back safely!" Dinethor smiled and helped Boromo up, "So, when you come back this time, have you found the answer to that prophecy?"
"Yes, I've found the answer. ”
Boromo raised his head and said in a cautious and vigilant tone, "The Supreme Ring has reappeared, and the Dark Lord is looking for it. In order to recover his lost ring and power, he can even turn Middle-earth into a scorched earth at any cost!"
"The Lord of the Rings...... The One Ring! I should have thought of it. ”
Dinethor repeated what Boromo had said, and although his tone was quite shocked, everyone on the Middle-earth team could tell that he was clearly mentally prepared for the news. And I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, when Dinethor mentioned the One Ring, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and it was completely different from the appearance of Xiàn before.
"So, is there any worse news? Speak up! Borromo! I can bear it. Seeing that Boromo seemed to have something else to say, Dinether said directly: "Your father is not old enough to bear any blow!
"I'll leave the rest to me. ”
And just as Boromo took a deep breath and was about to say what he had seen and heard along the way, as well as the information that Rivendell and Roslorian had received from the elves, Chu Xuan behind him suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Boromo's words that were about to be spoken.
"Who are you?" said Dinethor with black eyes turning to Chu Xuan and in a questioning tone.
"Chu Xuan, a traveler. Chu Xuan replied calmly.
Yang Yun, who was on the side, suddenly realized that there were many similarities between the two people, and he could clearly feel the rivalry between the two. It seemed that something hidden was running between the eyes of the two, and it could burst out at any moment. The difference is that Dinese's eyes are exploring, questioning and sharp, while Chu Xuan is breezy and calm, as always.
Dinethor did look more like a leader and wise man than Chu Xuan, he was more kingly, more handsome, more powerful, and looked older. However, Yang Yun could feel that Chu Xuan had stronger strength and wisdom, he was like an iceberg hidden under the sea level, if he didn't explore, he would never know the depth, Chu Xuan's wisdom was not light. Compared with Xiao Honglu, who is superior in intelligence, but still can't change the limelight and pride of his age, and Yang Yun, who has taken the lead by knowing the plot, Chu Xuan is far more terrifying than the two of them.
Chu Xuan didn't speak, but still glared at each other with Dinethor, as if he wanted to read each other's thoughts, but in the end, Dinether withdrew his gaze first.
"Okay, okay, I apologize to you for the gaffe. "I can sense that you are no ordinary traveler, and there are not many people who can look at me for so long without flinching. Boromo, won't you introduce me to the guests you brought?"
Only then did Boromo react, and he hurriedly introduced the names of everyone on the Middle-earth team to Dinether one by one, but it was only limited to the names. Because the origin of the people in the Middle-earth team is too mysterious, Empress Galadriel, who knows the inside story, is tight-lipped, except for Aragorn, who guessed that he is half-clawed, and several other plots and characters are completely confused.
"It doesn't matter who we are, it's the news we bring to you. Chu Xuan said, "Isn't that right?
"yes. Dinethor said noncommittally: "Although everyone says that the spar has been lost for a long time, the princes and nobles of Gondor still have sharper eyes than mortals, and there are many channels for gathering intelligence, everyone sit down first!"
When Dinethor had finished speaking, he struck a small silver gong by the footstool, and the servant standing in the niche by the door came at once, and said, "Bring the chairs and the wine and food to the guests, and no one shall disturb them for an hour." I'm going to take a good look at how much of the big thing is happening in places I don't know. ”
And several servants came in with chairs and low stools, and one of them came in with a tray with silver kettles and cups and white pastries. Chu Xuan's narration also began......
