Chapter 36: The Parties Gather
After Lin Bin and the others stayed in Rivendell for a whole month, the envoys of the various forces invited by King Elon and Gandalf could be regarded as arriving.
When talking about this plot in the movie, there are almost no twists and turns in the description, and only two or three kittens have arrived from all sides.
When the movie becomes a reality, it's not the same thing, no one or two people come by themselves at all, and the number of people brought by the messenger of any party is at least dozens, and a little more is a few hundred people.
It's understandable to think about it a little.
The movie is about the squad, that is, no matter how noble the identity is, you can't bring too many people, so you ignore the iron law of the real world that the more noble the identity, the more you need to guard the force.
"The number of elves in several teams is only more than twenty at most, which may have something to do with the fact that there are not many elves in Middle-earth." Brandon, who stood on a balcony with the crowd and watched the processions from afar, said, "The son of the vizier (and regent) of Gondor, the man named Borromo, brought with him the largest number, a force of three hundred. ”
In fact, it was not only the people of the Gondor Kingdom who came, but also an envoy composed of nobles from all sides of the Human Kingdom called Arno.
Later, Lin Bin and the others learned that the human kingdom called Arno had actually been destroyed, and only a few nobles had escaped, and they came here purely to join in the fun.
There were also dwarves, but in contrast to the elves, who were four factions (kingdoms or tribes), the dwarves were only a side branch of the royal family of Turin.
The Turin dwarves once had an incomparably powerful dwarven kingdom, strong enough to suppress the elves and not dare to fight with them, but it also disgusted the elves of all sides.
At present, the Turin tribe has been completely weakened, especially after the kingdom under the mountain (Irub, the king of the Turin tribe) was gathered and destroyed, the dwarves who lost the lonely mountain were completely divided, most of the dwarves lived a displaced life, and there were almost no powerful dwarven tribes that remained. (The Lord of the Rings)
Decades ago, the dwarves regained the lonely mountain, and the dwarves of Turin continued to prosper, and even reconciled with the elves for a time, and had good relations with some human countries.
The point is that the dwarves are really greedy, and they also have a proud and arrogant character, and it didn't take long for them to regain a bad relationship with the elves, even if humans also hated the rich, arrogant, and arrogant dwarves.
"Lin Bin, Melly." Gandalf came to the edge of the balcony and beckoned, "Come with me to the meeting." ”
The meeting was held in a courtroom, which was obviously not so solemn and formal.
For important meetings, the most important meetings are the majestic and complete indoor meeting rooms, but the King of Elon is arranged in a courtyard that looks full of fallen leaves and dilapidated.
When Lin Bin, Melly, and Gandalf came over, the participants had already chosen their seats.
They formed a semi-circular circle, sitting casually on some chairs, and most of them nodded when they saw Gandalf coming, and a few people (elves) even showed happy expressions.
The two hobbits with no identity were placed in the same place, causing them to move constantly and look a little uneasy.
The arrangement of the position is a bit according to the meaning of the status, for example, the people on the Gondor side are arranged in the middle position, and then there are several elves of the light elves.
The Light Elves are divided into three major groups: Fanya, Noldor, and Tryre, and then there are many branches.
The Lord of the Rings is a very large world, and the elves are naturally divided into several kingdoms (tribes), and a long time ago there was an elven king recognized by all the elves, but then there was no more.
There are light elves, naturally dark elves, and even half-blood elves.
King Elon is a half-blood elf, also known as a half-elf, and he now represents the two elves of Noldor and Sindar, who are still active in Middle-earth.
Aragorn was placed in a central position, and those who knew his identity were not greeted, and those who didn't know would wonder how such a ranger could sit in such a position.
Here, something that is not described in the movie is that Legolas (Prince of the Woodland Kingdom), who represents the Dark Forest, is placed in a corner.
At the same time, this aspect of Gimli (also translated as Golden Bolt) is also in the corner.
Lin Bin had no one to pay special attention.
Melly, who originally strengthened the "vampire bloodline", and later strengthened the "dark elf bloodline" and served as the main bloodline, her appearance is actually fully elf.
Melly's arrival attracted a lot of attention, and she was dressed as a dark elf, and for a moment the elves were all on their feet.
"Who is he?" Gimli's voice was a little rough, and he asked the elder who came with him, "I haven't seen it." ”
The dwarves were very short, of course, but they were very stout, and their entire faces were almost completely obscured by their beards. They are a race that grows beards for both men and women, but the beards of female dwarves are not as thick as those of male dwarves, and most female dwarves also have the habit of shaving, but male dwarves do not shave.
"Dark Elves." The dwarven elder was very surprised: "It is a dark elf that has not appeared for a long time, and it seems that the bloodline is still very pure. ”
"What elf?" Gimli had never known of the existence of a dark elf, and said, "An elf from the Dark Forest?" ”
"It's not. It's just that ......" the dwarf elder thought for a moment before he said, "Most of my people's books are missing, and I can't say it clearly. ”
The elves stood up and saluted Melly, and each elf said something in Elven language.
In the translation of "Lord God", the elves are paying homage to the race behind Merry, the dark elves.
Merly responded, no matter what language she used, her words would be translated by the "Lord God", and there was no such thing as impurity of spoken language.
"All elves are grateful to the dark elves." Gandalf saw that Lin Bin was looking at it seriously, and said a few more words: "The dark elves are the pioneers of the elves in the Western Continent this time, and they are also the pioneers. ”
Lin Bin understood in seconds.
Isn't it that the dark elves are the vanguard and launch the elves to invade the western continent?
Then, the elves will leave Middle-earth and go to the Western Continent anyway, which means that all the elves owe the dark elves a great favor.
Because of this, they haven't even asked which Dark Elf kingdom (tribe) Merry is from, just because of the Dark Elf blood (very pure) to salute.
"Alright, please sit back." Gandalf didn't wait for everyone to take their seats, and said, "This time I invite everyone to come because it's because of ......," Gandalf said and looked at Frodo, and then continued: "The One Ring has appeared again. ”
When King Elon invited them, he only said that the future of Middle-earth was at stake, but he didn't say anything about the Supreme Ring, causing them to all sit down, and almost all of them stood up after hearing this.
