Rivendell is also known as the Deep Rift.

The human world is called Rivendell, but Sinda is Imratri.

In Elven lore, Rivendell is the elves' last refuge in Middle-earth, and many elves come to Rivendell first and then sail to another continent in the west.

It is a valley flanked on either side by high cliffs, some of which have been built with buildings and walkways.

There are also buildings on some of the mountains, and the material is mainly milky white, and the withered yellow leaves all over the mountains in the late autumn season, and the sunlight at the other end of the mountain shines obliquely, producing a beautiful picture.

Before they could enter Rividale, they had to cross a slender bridge.

The bridge is built on the suspension of two mountains, and there are no supporting columns in between, which is a style of arch bridge.

The width of the bridge deck is only about two meters, but the length is 100 meters, so that it looks very dangerous.

"It's so beautiful...... Maggie looked at the mountains in the distance, where there were many waterfalls, "It's so much more beautiful than when I watched the movie." ”

"Desolate." Melly focused on the local popularity: "Along the way, I kept seeing the elves who were evacuating. There are so many buildings here, but I don't see many elves moving. ”

In the movie, it only shows a rough part of Rivendell with a wide-angle vision, which should be the location of the area where the palace is located, and does not shoot the elven village.

When they actually came, they were able to see the villages that had not been repaired for a long time, many of which were not inhabited by many elves, and even some of them were completely abandoned.

When you get to the core area of Rivendell, where the royal palace is located, except for the majestic architectural pattern, you can't see the well-guarded nature of a palace, and you can't even see how many people are active.

"The number of elves should not be much." Brandon glanced at the deep bottom under the bridge and said, "The number of immortals has always been very small, especially since the era of elves has passed. ”

None of them had seen The Lord of the Rings other than the movies, and if they did, they would know that Brandon was right.

As elves of the immortal race, their population only ushered in an explosive increase during the era of elven prosperity allowed by the gods, but the number of all elves never exceeded one million.

Later, the elves first went to war with the dwarves, and then joined the coalition to defeat Sauron, losing some of the population, but the losses were actually much less than those of the dwarves and humans, but they were still distressed and half dead.

As we approached the end of the Elven Age, it became increasingly difficult for female Elves to conceive.

Death in battle, death from disease, and death from old age have led to a decrease in the number of ethnic groups, but there has not been a newborn for tens or hundreds of years, causing the elves to avoid wars, let alone take the initiative to provoke wars, and become so-called pacifists, completely lacking the domineering spirit of the elves in the era of prosperity.

In the past, elves were able to assemble armies of tens of thousands.

At this stage, not to mention tens of thousands, thousands of troops have to grit their teeth fiercely.

"When the Twin Towers were plotting, they went to support Rohan's elves, isn't it this elf?" Lin Bin didn't remember it clearly, he saw the decay of this elven race along the way, and realized that the number of this group was scarce, and said in surprise: "How could Gandalf think that the Supreme Ring can be properly kept here?" ”

The strength of a group is related to the number, there must be enough members, in order to have more soldiers, and at the same time, the lack of cold weapons in society is also destined to not be very strong.

Elves also need to eat, and they need to wear clothes, and they definitely need to produce over there.

What they saw was that this elven race didn't have much agricultural area, and they didn't even see the workshops that were producing.

It is not difficult to make a certain judgment from this, the elves here have simply transferred most of the clansmen, and those who have not left are also preparing to leave.

"Even if all the elves are warriors, they can't gather more than five hundred warriors." Chu Fan didn't count women and children, he said what he saw as elven males: "That's why there is the so-called Ring Expeditionary Force." ”

The plot of the movie is like this, and King Elon is frightened enough that Gandalf sent the One Ring to Rivendell, and at the same time, he can see that he is somewhat angry. He made it clear to Gandalf that Rivendell had no power to protect the One Ring.

They had crossed the slender bridge and arrived at a square that looked like a bucket and a channel.

This is a terrain that comes out of a gate like a pass, and at a glance it looks like it is all enveloped, and there is another pass in front of it, that is, it is full of green shade, and some of the walls are also crawling vines.

"Gandalf!"

Frodo saw a figure and ran quickly away from the group.

Directly in front of him stood an old man dressed in gray, holding a smoking gun in his hand, smiling gently.

Passing through a city gate hole again, the terrain can be regarded as becoming a little more open, but because this side is a group of buildings on the edge of the cliff, the terrain is open and very limited.

"Gandalf, Merry and Piri have been captured by the bad guys!" Frodo was like a child who had been greatly wronged, anxious and angry, and said unwillingly: "Sam and I have no ability to save it, and they don't save it." ”

"Merry and Piri?" Gandalf was originally very happy that the One Ring was sent safely, the two hobbits were fine, Aragorn also came, and the hired team did not see any less members, and when he heard it, he frowned: "Who captured it?" ”

Frodo began to tell everything he encountered along the way, including how powerful Lin Bin and Chu Fan were, how many ring spirits they killed, and how many strange orcs they killed, and they couldn't help but complain that Lin Bin and Chu Fan were obviously able to fly, and their strength was so strong, but they were unwilling to save people.

"Alright, Frodo." Gandalf smiled apologetically at Lin Bin and the others, looked at Frodo and said, "Their responsibility is to escort you and the One Ring safely to Rivendell. Their mission was well accomplished, and Merry and Piri couldn't be blamed for being caught, and it was right not to save them. Once they're gone, can you guarantee a safe arrival in Rivendell? ”

Gandalf's words made Frodo fall into deep thought.

"Alright, my old friends, you've been tired from the journey, and you'll be able to rest well when you get to Rivendell." Gandalf, apparently taking himself as the host, gestured with an invitation gesture, and then continued: "King Elon will be very happy to see the brave man who can kill the Ringwraith." ”

Lin Bin and the others could see that Gandalf's face was dignified that could not be concealed, and it was obvious that something was causing Gandalf to feel distressed.
