- Minas Tirith.

It's been a while since Sauron was wiped out.

Although the majestic city was the subject of a major attack by Sauron's army, and there are still traces of battle on its walls, this did not spoil the jubilant atmosphere in the city. For today is the day of the enthronement of Aragon.

Everything in the royal city was ready, and many people flocked to the royal city, for the news had spread throughout Gondor, and all those who could come to the royal city from Minremont, Pinasgerin, and the distant seashore came as soon as possible. Beautiful women and children wore many flowers and returned to the royal city, and from Doranros came the best harpists in the whole continent, and from Rambanning came the six-stringed instruments, transverse flutes, trombones, and singers with clear voices.

On the evening of the last day, tents outside the city could be seen from the city, and the city was lit up all night as people waited for the dawn. When the sun rises over the mountains in the east, the shadow is gone, all the bells of the city are ringing in unison, all the flags are waving in the wind, and the prime minister's banner on the white tower is solemnly raised for the last time in the sun. In the last moments of the night, several of the people who had participated in the battle of Mordor were talking here.

"Long after the battle, King Elon and Empress Galadriel have returned to their realms, and I still can't believe that we have defeated Sauron, the Dark King. The dwarf said, "Even after all this time, I still remember that battle in my dreams. ”

"Heh, you're not alone, I'm too. "Although I have not been in close contact with Sauron, and have only supported him with a bow and arrow from a distance, I can also feel his terribleness, which is completely different from our power in the world...... This time, the death rate of the coalition army reached more than half, and even the hussar king Siyodon was killed in that battle, which is the best proof of this. ”

Speaking of the sacrifices, everyone's faces immediately became serious, and they bowed their heads silently and mourned for a while before the conversation continued.

"Thanks to Zheng Zha and Canaan, we were able to win this war. After a while, Legolas spoke again, "It was they who combined the power of humans, elves, and dwarves, and they were the ones who contributed the most in the final battle. Unfortunately, after killing Sauron, they disappeared without even saying goodbye, and no one knew where they had gone or where they had come from...... Boromo, did they mention it on their way to Minas Tirith with Zhengzha?"

"No, it's a shame, they never talked about it. Instead of dying as in the original episode, he became the new prime minister of Minas Tirith, and Boromo, who was now dressed in a gorgeous costume, shook his head: "Why don't you ask Gandalf about this? ”

As he spoke, Borromo raised his hand, and the crowd followed his hand to see Gandalf walking slowly towards them. Maybe it's because the burden of a long time has finally been put down, since the final battle, his face is full of smiles, and now when someone asks him questions, he also laughs in response, not as serious as before, and tight-lipped about secrets.

"Hey, Gandalf!" Jin Li greeted him loudly, "You seem to be happy, but it's almost the enthronement ceremony of Aragon, is it really okay for you to be lazy here?"

"Aren't you the same? let me enjoy this rare leisure time, for celebrations and feasts are good, but too much can be overwhelming. Gandalf laughed and replied, "But my friends, what could be more to cheer about when the clouds that have long hung over Middle-earth have finally lifted?"

"Hmm...... I think about it, maybe there is?" Seeing Gandalf like this, Boromo deliberately pretended to think about it, and said, "For example, tell us about the origin of those mysterious friends?"

"Oh...... That's what you're asking. The smile on Gandalf's face vanished, and he scratched his head in a slightly annoyed way, which made him look less like a respected elder and more childish: "Will you keep a secret?"

"Of course. Legolas replied.

"Then so will I. Gandalf laughed again.

"Hey, Gandalf, you can't do this!" shouted the impatient Golden Bolt.

"Okay, okay. Seeing that he couldn't get over, Gandalf had no choice but to raise his hand and say, "Actually...... I don't know, but if I had to say anything, it might be the Heroic Spirit. ”

"Heroic Spirit?" said in unison, except for Gandalf, several people present.

"After the death of a famous hero, the soul will travel to Valinor and be given a chance to be reborn, appearing in times of crisis to follow Vera's instructions to save the land. Take Glaron's nemesis, Turin, for example. Gandalf explained, "Perhaps, Zheng Zha, they are also similar beings. ”

"If that's the case, then their mysterious disappearance can explain it......" Boromo said thoughtfully.

However, before they could think about it, the bell rang, and Gandalf laughed, "It's time, everyone, it's time for us to appear, and it's not good to keep the protagonist alone for too long!"

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――

When the sun rose, the generals of the West led their troops and began to march towards the city, and they were seen marching in an orderly manner, their armor shining silver in the sun. They came to the city gate and stopped not far from the city wall. All the gates were opened, but a barrier was erected at the entrance to the city, and guards in silver-black uniforms with unsheathed swords stood there. Before that stood stood the regent Boromo, and the keeper of the key, Hulin, and the other generals of Gondor, and Neowen, the princess of Rohan, led the marshal Aheim and many famous hussars, and on both sides of the gate were crowded with men dressed in all kinds of clothes and holding delicious flowers.

The passage in front of the walls of Minas Tirith was crowded with the knights of Gondor and Rohan, flanked by a crowd of onlookers. The Dendans, dressed in silver-gray clothes, stepped out of the troops, and the crowd fell silent, with Aragon following closely behind. He wore black armor inlaid with silver, a pure white cape, and a neckline pinned with a glittering green gem, but he had no helmet on his head, only a jewel pinned to his forehead with silver. He was surrounded by Rohan's new king, the former Third Marshal Iomo, King Inrahir, Yawen, who had just been married to Arragon a few days earlier, and Gandalf, who was dressed in a white robe.

The trumpets sounded, and Borromo and Hulin stepped out of the city gates, followed by only four men in fortress uniforms, carrying a huge chest made of a rabbi syllon, black with silver trim.

Boromo walked up to Aragon, knelt down, and said, "The last Prime Minister of Gondor, please take over his authority!"

As he spoke, he handed out a white scepter, and Aragon took it, and then withdrew it, saying, "Your mission is not over, it will always be yours, and it will be inherited by your descendants, as long as my dynasty exists!

Boromo stood up straight and announced in a clear voice: "O people of Gondor, listen to the announcement of the Prime Minister of this country! This is Aragon, son of Arasson, leader of the Dendans of Arno, commander of the Western forces, master of the Star of the North, bearer of the Reforged Sword, who has returned triumphantly and healed the wounds of the people with his hands. He is the Elven Jewel, a direct descendant of Eliza, son of Esidor and a descendant of Elendil of Númenor. Should he become the Emperor of Men and live in the royal city?"

All the crowd shouted in unison: "Should!"

Amid the cheers, the guards stepped forward and asked Faramir to open the chest and pull out an ancient crown. It looked similar to the helmet of the fortress guards, except that it was more ornate and pure white, and the wings on both sides were set with silver and pearls, imitating the wings of a seabird, as they were the royal symbol of crossing the sea, and the crown was set with seven diamonds, and in the center was a jewel that radiated a flame-like light.

Aragon took the crown, held it aloft and shouted, "EtErello Endorennautlien." SinomemaruvanarHildinyartennAmbar－metta！”

These are the words of Elendil when he rode the wind across the sea to this place: "I have crossed the sea to Middle-earth, where I and my children will dwell until the end of the world." ”

To everyone's surprise, Aragon did not put the crown on immediately, but he held it in his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, before that, I have a few words to say. ”

Everyone fell silent and listened to Aragorn's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it was through the efforts and sacrifices of many people that I was able to regain this throne. Some of the heroes who fought Sauron head-on didn't make it here, but I don't want you to forget their heroic deeds. ”

Then, Arragon accurately said the names of everyone in the First Central Continent and the Arctic Continent, the Southern Flame Continent and the East American Team, some of these names have long been known to everyone, and some are unknown, but without exception, they are all heroes against Sauron!

"Poets, I want you to pass on their deeds. Their names will be remembered by people thousands of years later!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty!" shouted a voice from the crowd.

Several members of the expedition seemed to feel that the voice was familiar, and they followed the sound to find that it was the former host of the Ring, Bilbo the Hobbit, and beside him was the former host Frodo.

Aragorn apparently spotted Frodo's traces as well, and he shouted, "To thank you, I hope that the Ring Bearer will hand me the crown and let Mislanda put it on for me, and I hope he will do so, for he is the one behind everything, and this is his victory!"

Frodo's clapping hand stopped, and he looked at Arragon in a daze, until Bilbo behind him pushed him with a smile, and he stumbled forward, and the people on the road smiled at him, which seemed to increase his courage and confidence. The ordinary hobbit took the crown from Borromo and gave it to Gandalf, who knelt down, and Gandalf put the crown on his place, looked at him with an incomprehensible look, and said, "It's not over yet, Aragon, you still have a lot to do." ”

But before Aragon could react, Gandalf turned around and shouted, "The days of the reign of the human emperor are back, may the Lord God bless you!"

At this moment, Aragon felt that his thoughts were beginning to become distant, as if he had become the world, and he felt joy, life, and laughter from heaven and earth......

When Aragon got up again, the people stared at him with a smile on his face, as if it was the first time he had shown his true colors. He was as tall as the ancient emperors, overpowering all the people in his vicinity, he looked weather-beaten, but he was in the prime of life, with wisdom on his face, strength and healing power in his hands, and he radiated light all around him. The temperament on his body made everyone unconsciously hold their breath, and Gandalf felt more obviously that Aragorn's strength had obviously entered another level......

Boromo shouted, "The Emperor of Man has arrived!"

At that moment, all the trumpets sounded in unison, King Eliza came to the door, Hulin pushed the barrier open, and to the sound of pleasant music, the Emperor of Man walked through the flower-filled streets to the fortress, and went straight in. The banner of the sacred tree and the stars was unfurled at the shoulder tower at the top of the fortress, and the reign of Emperor Eliza began, and there will be many songs to praise this great moment.
