Chapter 36: Whose Gaze?
"What?!, you're going to take them to His Majesty Elrond?"
Glorfindale was stunned by Gandalf's yell, and then his face turned gloomy with anger, his expression changing between hesitation and desperation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Gandalf, Mithranda, I want you to know what you're doing, and what kind of villains you're protecting. ”
Groffindale realizes that he has lost the contest completely, and he underestimates Gandalf's determination, as well as his prestige and his weight in Gandalf's eyes.
He was no longer the patriarch of the Golden Flower Family, one of the twelve nobles of Gondolin, but only the High Elf of Rivendell, Glover Dell.
Although in terms of identity and seniority, even if he loses the title of patriarch of the Golden Flower Family, he is still the elder of King Elron, but he knows that this alone will definitely not affect King Elron's will.
Elrond would not be an enemy of Gandalf for no reason, or out of such "minor frictions", as he and Galadriel, Queen of Lothlorin, were Gandalf's strongest allies, as they had proven time and time again over the past two thousand years.
At the end of the day, he was only underestimating Gandalf's determination to defend these people, he couldn't understand the importance of these people, and the gray-robed wizard's approach was a naked slap in the face.
Groffindale thought that he would at least wait until he had finished pronouncing the verdict, and when all of them had been arrested, he would go to King Elon to mediate on his behalf.
As long as that's the case, he has a hundred ways to solve some troubles in advance, at least to make the guy he hates the most disappear forever!
That bastard's taste is just as fishy as Rogge's, his personality is even less pleasant, and the descendants of the Giant Hammer family are really not as good as the next!
Grofendale glanced at Ling Qi fiercely, and found that his hand had no intention of leaving his precious daughter, and his face couldn't help but start shaking.
Gandalf saw something in his eyes that elves should never have, and he frowned, immediately deciding that he was doing the right thing.
"Glorffindelle, I know exactly what I'm doing, and I know who I'm defending!"
"I hope you understand what you're thinking!"
"There are enough troubles in this world, I hope you are still the heroic Glover Dale who dared to break off the queens for his clan and the prince, and even sacrificed his own life to die with the fire demons!"
Gandalf's tone was firm and heavy, and it was precisely his attitude of being a good teacher that made people most unhappy.
You won't always be right!
When a person who is always right makes an unexpected mistake, the consequences are often worse than the mistake itself.
Glorfindale looked away from Ling Qi and looked back at the calm river, quickly regaining its apparent calm.
"I'll always be the same Grofvendale, but I'm not naïve enough to be attacked by the enemy when I'm about to win. ”
Glorfindale had something to say, as if he was just looking back on the past and regretting the feat of the past. He could have defeated the fire demon instead of waiting hundreds of years and spending hundreds of years in Valinor to be reborn.
"Gandalf, your enemy is in Mordor, in Dolgodo, in the shadows of the sun, in places where most people can't see and are more unaware, but it definitely won't be me. ”
Grofendale spoke in a strange tone, as if warning, as if sheer complaint!
He glanced at Ling Qi casually, maybe he found something, but he couldn't be sure, so he seemed hesitant, and he needed some other emotions to cover the natural hostility.
A good mood can make inexplicable hostility weaken and finally disappear. Negative emotions can lead to increased hostility and turn into murderous intent.
Groffinddale chose the latter, and this was also the choice Ling Qi made.
Gandalf looked down in contemplation, not noticing Grofendale's gaze. Even if he had noticed, he would probably have thought that the elf had discovered something he had already discovered.
He thought of the necromancer of Dolgodo, who was the enemy of Middle-earth.
No one can be sure that it is Sauron, and even if he is more than ninety percent sure, it is still speculation, and he can only say to his friends that he cannot bring it up at the Holy White Council to seek real help.
Grofendale's words confirmed most of his conjectures.
Anyone who is really old knows that Glorfindale is not only an outstanding warrior, but also has a rare gift for prophecy.
Prophecy is a glimpse into the river of fate, but that river has countless branches, so there are very few prophecies that can be fulfilled. No matter how brilliant the prophet is, the prophecy can only be used for reference, and cannot be corroborated, which is helpless.
Nine out of nine guesses, or guesses.
"If you're right, then I should protect these people, you can't understand how visible they are in the trajectory of fate. ”
"Take me to King Elrond. ”
Gandalf had his own peek into the future, so he unilaterally ended his exchange with Groffindelle, and the last sentence was said to Captain Elf.
Ever since he was clamoring to see King Elrond, the elves who had already made an attack or a grappling stance had all laid down their weapons.
In Rivendell, only Elrond is always the only king, and Groffindelle may not be weaker than him, but he will never be able to replace the former in giving orders, especially when there is a possibility that the orders of the two will diverge!
The dwarves and human guards were all relieved, including Charles and Alex, who were snickering at the fact that they didn't have to fight a battle with no chance of winning.
Only Ling Qi, he was even ready to summon demons.
Hiding is to better protect yourself, but if the benefits are too big and any risks are indifferent, then there is no need to hide.
Eventually, he let go of the elven girl in his arms and calmly followed Gandalf, who seemed to be sulking.
Gandalf's efforts to get the best possible result on the surface were certainly not a reason for him to give up, he was never a man who cared about other people's attitudes.
He can turn his face and kill people at the negotiating table at any time, even if it is a peace conference that he leads. This is Ling Qi, the true nature of a real man.
He gave up his best chance to sneak up on Glorfindale because he felt that familiar attention again!
Not through Gandalf's gaze, looking at him, someone who is on a high position, who is hard to beat.
It's the one he felt but couldn't catch when he was outside the troll forest, when they hadn't crossed the last bridge and were still in Kadolan!
At that time, he was distracted by other problems and missed the best opportunity to "catch" "it"!
Maybe he didn't even think he had noticed it yet, in fact he had been looking forward to seeing it again, and its owner would certainly taste better than Groffinddale!
Now, he had determined that the main body of that consciousness, the soul carried by the main body, was definitely more delicious and nourishing than any soul in front of him!
That's not even a "attention", just a clear and ethereal "gaze".
It's in the wind, out of sight.
Every time it collides with a blade, every time it rubs against dust, it shows a little bit of something out of the ordinary!
It is a very mysterious magic, perhaps some kind of visual kei magic. Or maybe it's more magical, mind-detecting magic.
Ling Qi always felt that something was entering his ears with the breeze, trying to invade his brain, but it couldn't interfere with his rock-solid will.
He's pretty sure the caster is nearby!
The nature of this world makes it far more difficult to cast spells than in other planes, even if it's a natural ability. Thousands of meters apart is a dream, and it is extremely difficult to have props, and at least the success is a legendary progression!
This level of sorcery -
This person's strength other than soul qualifications will definitely not be weaker than Gandalf, but it will not be much stronger than Gandalf in the extreme state!
It's not a legend yet!
Another ancient elf, troublesome law powerhouse! This person should be more difficult to deal with than Glorfindelle, and it will take more effort and greater risk to get greater gains!
The world's extremely severe weakening of spells does not mean that * spells are chicken, because all living and non-living beings' natural resistance to magic are also weakened at the same time.
For example, Ling Qi's flame resistance talent is basically useless in this world, and he will still be burned alive when he stands in a bonfire, at most he is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
More difficult spell casting often means that every spell that can be released has its own meaning of existence, and the caster's mastery of spells is far beyond the master's level.
This means that both the weaker-looking spells and the weaker-looking casters are actually closer, closer to mastering the essence of the rules, which makes them harder to deal with!
The world in the eyes of the weak is material, and a goblin is a master with an axe.
The world in the eyes of the strong is pluralistic, and physics is only the simplest foundation and the carrier that must exist.
The weak are afraid that the enemy is too strong, and the strong are afraid that the enemy has a means that they do not understand.
Ling Qi decided to go and meet the King of Elon first, so it didn't hurt to go deep into the enemy camp.
If King Elon was the mysterious person who had been paying attention to him and them for a long time, he would not be surprised.
There is no vanity under the fame.
After a forest of oak and elm trees, a stone bridge that spans the banks of the river, and a staircase climb up the cliffs, guests arrive at the legendary Rivendell.
Standing outside Rivendell's palace, in the open-air plaza on the second floor platform of the fortress, looking out at the shrunken greenery and hillside below, everything felt completely different.
The scenery is too small, and the long river is not as wide as the ditch.
Sure enough, it will be the top of the mountain and see the mountains at a glance!
Rivendell is a great place to stay independent, with a difficult terrain and a lot of land.
All they had seen at the bottom of the hill was the cliff side, a large lawn beside the river, not even the back garden of Rivendell.
The main entrance of Rivendell is just below the platform, on the first floor of the fortress, and directly outside the gate is a flat playground, more than ten times larger than the open-air platform on the second floor.
At the end of the playground there is a steep girder bridge, made of stone, similar to the one on the river floor, with red and black markings on the surface.
But it's longer, and therefore narrower, like a rainbow crashing from cliff to cliff, completely unaffected by gravity.
There are no guardrails on either side of the bridge, and if you climb the bridge and lean over, you can see stalagmite-like diamond pillars hanging at the bottom of the bridge, which makes people tremble when they walk on it, as if they are about to fall down when the wind blows.
The bridge deck is at least three or four hundred meters away from the bottom of the valley, who can survive if they fall?
This is the true gateway to Rivendell, and there is no need for falling rocks to guard it, and I believe that the route to the outside from the opposite side is definitely more complex and secretive.
