Giving up doesn't mean there's no interest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Varendil never gave up asking about the situation on the peak. A month earlier, he had asked Elrond that "all the creatures who have gone there have seen a different view. Some saw Arnoor, some saw the Doomsday Volcano, some said they only saw clouds and mist, and some said they saw a gorgeous palace suspended in the air. What exactly can be seen there? ”

Elrond's answer at the time was, "If you want to know the real answer, why not choose to experience it in person?" What every creature sees in his eyes is different. If you want to know what the scenery is in your eyes, you have to witness it yourself. ”

Despite his courage, Elrond knew that the Emperor would not take action. At that time, the wise man did not arrange everything, and for the sake of safety, even he would not allow the human emperor to take the risk of challenging the steep mountain, let alone a human being? So it wasn't until all the preparations were made to ensure that there was no risk that Elrond sent an invitation to the Human Emperor.

"What you say is true?" Valandil was a little nervous and couldn't hide his excitement.

If Elrond is accompanied, there will be no more humans who will stop themselves with "unsafe" reasons. In the eyes of the Emperor of People, no matter how dangerous the behavior is, it will become safer with the company of the mentor. In other words, the scenery at the top no longer needs to be known through the mouth of others?

As he made his way to the ascent, Varandil couldn't help but say excitedly: "I have never been trained in combat, and I am not agile at all, for fear that I will become a burden to my mentor......"

"There is no combat training because I am afraid that there will not be enough time for you to master all the skills. You have to govern two great human countries, and your people and I believe that governing a country so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment is the most urgent skill you need to master. Pausing at the foot of the mountain, Elrond tested the force of the rope and passed it with both hands. Don't worry about your abilities. Even if you can't match the climber's level, you'll have the Human Emperor bloodline on your body and you'll be able to put them to good use to reach your destination. ”

In order for me to climb the mountain smoothly, the instructor has prepared everything in advance?

Looking at Elrond with grateful eyes, Valandil decisively took the rope. When, under the guidance of the wise man, he wound the not-so-thick rope around his waist and in his hands, he found that there was a gap in the mountain that was enough to tread.

Going to great lengths just so that I can witness the view from the top? Valandil was a little puzzled and very moved. He didn't know that the highest view was the last lesson that the wise man had prepared for him. This lesson Elrond wanted him to understand: if you want to fly higher and see farther, you must abandon the horizon.

"Don't get too excited. The gap will soon be gone. Elrond, who was following in front of the human queen, raised his voice and said, "There is no gain that can be easily obtained. How can you easily have the best scenery? ”

"I will always remember this sentence." With a echo sound, the Emperor began to put all his attention on the rope - and sure enough, as Elrond said, he had reached a position where he had no point to borrow. Next, he had to rely on ropes to climb to the top.

An hour later, the Emperor finally stood at the top of the mountain. During this process, he subconsciously wanted to turn around several times to see his height, but was stopped by Elrond every time. The wise man, who was also climbing hard, rebuked in a firm tone: "Don't look back. The only goal is the summit! ”

It is this kind of incentive that makes the emperor forget about the horizon for a while. But when he stood at the top of the mountain, he realized what a dangerous area he was in. It turns out that the mountains are not only steep, but the area at the top of the mountain is small enough to accommodate a person. When the Emperor of Man was carefully lying on the top of the mountain to avoid being blown off by the wind, the wise man pulled the rope and levitated beside him.

"Valandier, stand up." The sound of the wind blowing very solemnly. "Stand up and see the scenery in your heart."

Do you really want to stand up? Looking at the uneven ground, Valandil carefully found a place to step on his feet, and then slowly straightened up. He subconsciously looked to the north and saw the faintly visible Arnol Mountains.

"I saw Arnol! You can see Arnol here! The excited human emperor braved the strong wind and carefully looked to the southeast. This time, there was disappointment and frustration in his tone.

He said, "I can't see the white mountains of Gondor. Not even a single outline could be found. ”

"You stand a little taller. You can definitely see it. "Elrond, who was hanging from the side with a rope, had a rare look.

Stand a little taller? But I'm already at the top......

Valandil didn't dare to look directly at Elrond at this time, he even felt that the current wise man was a little strange? He had never seen a wise man look so fierce since he came into contact with him. Therefore, when the wise man urged again, the Emperor of the People had no choice but to start looking around, trying to find a higher place. As a result, he was disappointed.

It's already the top of the mountain, where is there a higher position? What made the emperor even more headache was that when the foothold was not flat, he had already stood against the wind for a while. The wind raged even more, and the feeling of dizziness slowly came over his mind, and Valandil couldn't hold on anymore. Despite knowing that his next actions would disappoint his most respected mentor, he gasped and fell on the top of the mountain.

"I felt a little sick. Moreover, there is no higher position. If you don't see it this time, forget it......"

"Do you mean to come back later?" Far from being disappointed, Elrond climbed to Valandier's side to offer encouragement. "You are the supreme king of Arnol and Gondor. Having finally found the commanding heights, how could we miss the opportunity to watch the two countries at the same time? Hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to see them in full. ”

Although he did not quite understand the deep meaning of the wise man's words, Valandil struggled to his feet under the expectant gaze. This time, he turned his entire body directly to the southeast where Gondor was.

"There are only faint lines, and it is impossible to determine if it is a white mountain range." Valandier, who had been fighting the howling wind for a long time, lowered his head in confusion and asked, "Can you really see Gondor?" It is three times as far away from Ringu as Arnoor. ”

"It doesn't matter if other beings can see it, what matters is that the human emperor must see it. You have to see not only Gondor, but all of Middle-earth. From the Lune Inland Sea to the east and the Grey Harbour to the west, you should have a panoramic view. At this point, Elrond lowered his head and looked at it for a moment, and when he looked up again, he actually said to Valandil: "Jump higher, I promise you can see the whole world." ”
