Chapter 420: Gray Harbor
Grey Harbor is the largest port in Warnerheim, and from this port, you can leave this plane and head west to the elven kingdom of Alfheim, the legendary realm of the elves.
This port city is tasked with sending elves out to sea, so elves don't stay here for long, and only a few tall, fair-skinned elves can occasionally be seen in the city, and there are some dwarves and vanheims from all over the world.
The Warnerheim look the same as the Earthlings, but Bella's Eagle Vision can see the subtle differences, and their bone hardness and skin density are greater than those of the Earthlings.
Thorin. Oakshield and they are to resupply in Grey Harbor, where some of Narnia's loot is to be sold for necessary supplies, and then cross an entire continent to the Lonely Mountain in the east of the continent.
Without a reference, Bella didn't dare to rush to teleport, and it was not unacceptable for her to spend a month on the road, and she could use this time to learn some knowledge and increase her knowledge.
Traveling was a must for the mage, and with thirteen dwarven warriors around her, she felt that the safety factor was high.
Separated for a moment, Bella and Thorin wander alone through this exotic old port city, stopping from time to time to listen to the voices of the intelligent beings around them, view their artwork, and admire the layout of the city.
"A traveler who came to Mysrond for the first time?" As Bella looked closely at a statue of a valiant knight, an old voice rang in her ears.
She looked back and saw that it was an elf, a male elf with silver hair and a long beard on his chin.
Bella walked all the way, and the elf gave her the impression of arrogance, elegance, and no one in her eyes, and if you added one more physiognomic feature, it was that she was beardless.
The dude next to her was the first bearded elf she had ever seen!
Of course, when she first came to Grey Harbor, she hadn't seen more than ten elves, and it was a bit arbitrary to say that elves didn't grow beards, but the elf in front of her gave her such a different impression.
Elves who grow a lot of beards in a long-lived race like elves, how old is that?
Bella, who is considered young among the human race, said politely: "Yes, the first time I came, Mislond is a great city, but ......"
The older elf looked at her quietly, and she could only continue, "...... But the city felt a little heavy, and I heard the city weeping, grieving for the elves who had left. ”
From Bella's point of view, she could not see the harbor in the distance, but she still pointed in the direction of the harbor and said: "The sea is full of parting sorrows, and the elves put their emotions in the mountains, in the rocks, and in the tides, and they miss this land, but they have to leave. ”
Bella didn't know why she said so much to a stranger, only that Grey Harbor's emotions affected her, and the psychic warlock was the most sensitive and least resistant to this emotion.
The elder elf's gaze was deep, and his mind was wrapped in dense memories, and even without any protection, Bella could not see any information.
"You're right, Misrond is such a sad place, it is the destiny of all elves to go to the realm of elves, but it is also cruel to abandon the land that raised them...... It's a bit heavy on the subject, but it's a pleasure to meet you, traveler from afar, I'm Sedan, a shipbuilder. ”
Who is this? Bella scratched her head, searched her memory, and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who this old elf was.
"Isabella. Swan, just call me Bella. ”
After learning that Bella was interested in the history of the city and the culture of the elves, the old elf instructed her to go to the city lord's private library to read books.
It's the lord of the city, and it's a private person, can I see this?
Bella reckoned that the old elf's identity was not ordinary, but she didn't think that she had been a great sin to read two books in the past.
As she was pointed, she found the ornate-looking library, in a remote corner of the northwest of the city.
A day later, the old elf Serdan came to her again, and they talked about poetry, music, the relationship between the gods and the believers, and finally about architecture.
Although Bella is less than a fraction of the old elf's age, she is well-read and can say a few words on any topic.
Just when she thought that the old elf was going to talk to her about elven magic, the old elf suddenly changed his words: "Miss Bella, your words and deeds seem to give people a feeling of enthusiasm, but in fact, your heart is cold. ”
Is it so obvious that you are acting yourself? The ancient one can see it, and this old elf who doesn't know how old can he see it?
Bella bit her lip and didn't speak.
Gu Yi has the status of master and apprentice, and he won't do anything to her, but this old elf is difficult to say, she waits for the following with a default attitude.
Serdan, the shipbuilder, sighed: "I'm really too old, I'm almost fifteen thousand years old this year. ”
Bella o((⊙_⊙))o
It's not showing off, is it?
The old elf continued, "I'm so tired that I've sent away batches of young people, and I'm still here, waiting, waiting. My heart is already cold, and my body is nearing the end. ”
There was some confusion in Bella's eyes: "But I think you are still very enthusiastic, when we discussed music before, that was your heart, right?" High-pitched, intense, and never seem to be knocked down? I don't think I heard it wrong. ”
"Haha-" The old elf chuckled as he raised his left hand with a ruby ring on his middle finger.
"My passion comes from this ring, and now it's time for her to have a new owner."
The old elf took off the ring and gently placed it in front of Bella.
"Naya can help you resist fatigue and despair, and she will be able to help you muster the last shred of strength in your heart when you are at your most tired."
Looking at Bella's inquiring eyes, the old elf stood up and walked out of the library slowly: "Take this ring, your burden will be very heavy, she will support you when you are tired, this is the ring of fire, she will ignite your increasingly cold heart." ”
Seeing that the old elf was about to walk out of the door completely, Bella had to stand up and ask, "Why?" Why give it to me? What is the prophecy? ”
"You need her more than I do, that's why. By the way, you can take these books with you, but ..... It's best to leave a few books for me, an old fellow, to pass the time. The old elf finished speaking, and left without looking back.
On the third day of coming to the port of Misrond, Bella and Sorin. Oak Shield and his party walked on the road to the east, and their journey was extremely long.
After some hesitation, Bella finally accepted the Ring of Fire, one of the three elven rings, Naya.
