Chapter 40: The Gift

Despite being puzzled by Nyos' decision, in the end, the Middle-earth and Arctic teams did not go to Nios for discussion. Because judging from the current situation, taking the initiative to leave the Fellowship of the Ring Expedition is definitely a thankless task, since the Nanyanzhou team is willing to suffer, then the others will naturally enjoy it.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Although this is true, I always feel that there is some conspiracy on the part of Neos, he is not the kind of person who will be conceivable. I remember the last time the Galaxy Clan, he was angry with Chu Xuan because of his arrogance, could it be that he has changed in such a short period of time?" Zheng Zha said while pinching a hair that had just been plucked from his head.

"Of course not, a person's personality wants to change unless he is stimulated by something. Neos should be introspective after the last failure, but he will never go from one extreme to the other, so Zheng Zha's hunch is fine, he does have other plans. Yang Yun replied, "But actually, I don't think you need to worry too much...... Because from the current point of view, it is very likely that after seeing our strength, Neos feels that the strength of the Nanyanzhou team is insufficient. Instead of following us to pick up leftovers, we might as well go somewhere else to get other side stories. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Zheng Zha said with understanding: "It's true, but it's really unexpected that this guy Neos has learned to admit his shortcomings...... Then we don't have to worry about the affairs of Nanyanzhou?"

"Yes, in fact I can roughly guess what Neos is thinking, and he might want to 'take advantage'. Because in fact, in this Lord of the Rings, many forces are neutral, such as Roslorian, where we are currently located. At this time, Chu Xuan, who was munching on an apple on the side, spoke: "In the novel, there are many similar races and forces, such as Tom Bombardier in the forest in the first part, the remnants of the Elven King Gilgalad also live on the shore of Gray Harbor in Linton, and the shipbuilder Serdan, who has survived from the First Age, and the Tree Man who destroyed Isenger and completely disintegrated the forces of Saruman's side. ”

"The advantage of the Nanyanzhou team is Neos's intelligence, and their biggest disadvantage is the lack of 'strength', so they need to win over the plots and characters in this world to gain the advantage of 'strength', and they have more confidence when talking to us. Admittedly, following the Lord of the Rings is the clearest thread, but in this vast world, there is more than one battlefield. Nyos's behavior can be described as an escape, but it is not necessarily a smart choice. ”

"That's right...... So Chu Xuan, which side is it possible for Neos to look for support?" Zheng Qi asked.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. It has nothing to do with us which side he is looking for support or whose support he gets. ”

Chu Xuan said crisply: "Zheng Zha, tomorrow we will go directly to Minas Tirith with Bolomo, and as for the task of acting with the Fellowship of the Ring, it is good to leave it to the Arctic Continent team." ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to Boromo right away. ”

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

For this sudden reinforcement, Boromo naturally would not object. Although he didn't know the specific strength of the Zhongzhou team, after Zheng Zhe easily brought him down, Boromo was overjoyed.

The night was fleeting, and in the morning, some elves arrived at the Middle-earth garrison, bringing with them a lot of food and clothing. Most of the food was a thin cake, baked in light brown on the outside and cream on the inside, and Chu Xuan seemed to be interested in this kind of cake that the elves called "Lambas", and the group of elves had to laugh to stop him.

"Don't eat any more! Don't eat enough! You've eaten enough to walk all day! If you eat any more, you'll be unable to move!"

"Looks good...... And it can quickly replenish the energy I expend when thinking. Chu Xuan said lightly.

"Indeed, yes!" The elves didn't notice what Chu Xuan said was "it looks good" instead of "it tastes good": "The effect of this tonic is better than any food made by humans, and the taste is much better than dry food." However, we must ask you to save as much as possible. Eat only a little at a time, and only when you are hungry, because these things are used to help you through food deprivation. If you don't mess with the exterior and let them wrap inside the leaves as they are now, they can stay fresh for many days. Just one piece is enough for a traveler to walk all day and do a lot of physically demanding work, even if he is a tall human at Minas Tirith. ”

The elves then unpacked the clothes given to each party member, and they gave each person a fully custom-made hooded cape made of the lightweight, warm silk satin that the treants usually used to weave their clothes. It is difficult for the onlooker to tell what color it is, because when under the trees they look like twilight gray, but when the cloaks are moving, or when they are under a light source, they turn green like leaves, brown earth at night, and waves of water under the starlight. Each cloak is pinned to the body with a green leaf and a silver-trimmed collar pin.

"These clothes also need at least C-level side plots or even higher in the main god space to redeem huΓ n's ......" While looking at these cloaks, Yang Yun said in the soul chain: "The elf clan is really rich, I think not only us, I'm afraid everyone in the reincarnation team will have one." ”

The elves explained to the members of the Middle-earth team: "They are very good clothes, and the handiwork is quite good, and they are all made in this land. Leaves and branches, flowing water and rocks, they have the color of the scenery in the land of Lorian, and they are also the scenery we love. When we are weaving, we weave our thoughts and longings for this land into it. ”

"But they're still just clothing, not armor, and they can't stop arrows or swords. But they should be quite practical for you, they are light to wear, warm or cool when necessary, and they are great for hiding from unkind eyes and gliding for short periods of time if necessary, whether you are walking on the rocks or in the forest. You are very much favored by the Empress, for she herself and her maids have sewn it with stitches, and no outsider has ever worn our clothes before. ”

Finally, when the three teams and the Fellowship of the Ring stood in front of the docks, ready to leave Roslorian, Kellanhall himself came to see them off.

"I'm glad that you've all made your own decisions. ”

Galadriel's eyes swept over each of them, and she said, "Although your journeys may not be the same, I believe that one thing is that you are all fighting, fighting to destroy MiΓ¨ Sauron and his ring, to banish the darkness from this world forever. In addition to those clothes and weapons, we also have some gifts for the warriors present. ”
