Rivendell, the last place east of the sea that claims to be the elves' sanctuary in Middle-earth, has so far gone the elves.

Originally, here in Rivendell, there were at least tens of thousands of Noldor elves staying in the depths of this dense forest far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

But now, a considerable number of them have begun to set off for the shore of Grey Harbor.

They are ready to accept the call of the Veras, go out to sea by boat, follow a special straight channel, throw the arc-shaped world far below the ship, free from the interference of the wind of the circular firmament, break free from the shackles of the sea and the planet, and soar in the clouds above the world with the air current, and sail directly to the far west of the ancient times, to the final destination of the elves - Amen Continent!

That is, the home of the elves, the eternal land where the gods Vera live......

So, at this moment, the streets of Rivendell now, in this beautiful city of elves, are already deserted!

In addition to the necessary guards and the elven lord of the area, King Elrond, most of the elves, including Princess Arwen, the daughter of King Elrond, have already begun their journey to the shores of Grey Harbor on the western coast of Middle-earth, ready to board the elven ships to the land of legends.

It's a pity that the elven king Elon may have miscalculated in some places......

Originally, he thought that his daughter Arwen had already gone west with the team, so he could now rest assured that he would continue to stay here in Rivendell, intending to deal with some of the follow-up matters.

For example: recording the deeds of some elves, continuing to observe the final evolution of the Third Age war in Middle-earth, and gradually arranging and receiving the elves who set off from the east of the Misty Mountains to the west, etc., as one of the leaders of the elves of Middle-earth, Elon is likely to stay here for another year or two before the last group to leave this Rivendell.

“……”

Then, when Elon was about to continue writing something and pass the lonely days for the rest of the day, he found a familiar figure outside, riding into the courtyard where he was, breaking his rare peace?

Arwen...... It's you, why are you back?! ”

Seeing that the person who came was his daughter, Elon had to put down the quill in his hand, he was really shocked! He never thought that at this time, his daughter Arwen still didn't go west with the team after all?

"Father's ......"

"Tell me, did you see something? I know, you can actually see some of the future! ”

After panting and running in front of his father, King Elon, Arwen stared into the other's eyes with blazing eyes, hoping to hear the other man say some truth.

"Please tell me, Father...... What exactly do you see in the future? ”

After finding that the other party's eyes were a little flickering, and he didn't seem to dare to look at him, Arwen asked eagerly again. That's why she'd just left the team and came back, because, when she was about to leave Rivendell, she also saw a glimpse of the future.

So, she thought, there must be something the gods foreboding for her, and she had to come back and ask for it!

"Yes, I see your future...... I have also seen your death......"

With a sigh in his heart, Elon suddenly felt a little annoyed with his wayward daughter. At the same time, he secretly regretted why he had adopted Aragorn's last descendant, Essidor.

Now let's see, it's a matter of whether the other party can succeed in the end, but on the contrary, he first seduced away his Ayron's baby daughter Arwen, and it is likely that they will also make their father and daughter Jin Lisheng have the pain of parting with death, which is really unreasonable!

"But there should be new ...... too"

Before that, Arwen is faced with a terrible dilemma: either follow the wishes of Aragorn and her father, King Elon, and sail with the other elves to the wonderlands of the West and continue to enjoy eternal life; Or, like her ancestor Lucien, give up her immortal life for the sake of that ethereal love, accept the cruel fate of becoming a mortal, stay in Middle-earth, and become Aragorn's wife......

Originally, when she was on the road, Arwen was still a little confused, and at that time, she was already walking on the way back to the west with the elves traveling west.

However, in a trance, she saw a glimmer of the future in the dense forest......

From that misty fantasy, she saw a child...... And on the other party's neck, there is precisely her necklace hanging - the magical elf jewel 'Twilight Star'!

Thinking about it this way, that child is likely to be her and Aragorn's future child......

"You should have seen that, right? There should also be a child...... That's my future son! That new life! ”

After discovering that his father, King Elrond, did not dare to face him, but turned his head directly and walked back to the pavilion in a gloomy manner, Arwen hurriedly took two steps forward and followed him to ask.

"Yes, you're right......"

"But...... Believe me, Arwen, that's what I've seen before! ”

Sighing softly, King Elon didn't continue to look at his daughter Arwen, but continued to take a few steps forward, holding the guardrail at the edge of the pavilion with both hands, and condescendingly looked at Rivendell, who was full of gloom, in fact, there were not many elves left......

As groups of teams set off to return to the west, and more elves were willing to accept the call of the sea, the number of ordinary elves in this city was decreasing day by day.

Perhaps, it won't take much time.

At most, in another year or two, after King Elon and his own departure from here, this beautiful elven city may finally disappear in this forest and become a speck of dust in history and legends, right?

Arwen...... The future that you and I saw before is now nearing the end of life and becoming less and less real......"

Thinking about the fantasy he saw recently, King Ayron shook his head helplessly again after all, even if there were no variables, even if the illusion of the original future could still be realized, so what? When the time comes, his daughter, Arwen, will also die a desolate death......

As a father and parent, Elon definitely doesn't want to see his daughter and repeat Lucien's mistakes!

In Elon's opinion, compared to eternal life, the love between mortals is simply not worth mentioning!

When they grow old until they all turn into a handful of loess, where is their love? What's the use?

When the time comes, when their bodies and souls cease to exist, and only one or two desolate graves remain, their love will be nothing more than a legend or joke to be envied by posterity.

At that time, everything will disappear with the passage of time, and their existence and past will become meaningless!

"But the illusion isn't gone, is it? I just saw that too! ”

Remembering the illusion she had seen on the road before, Arwen looked at her father Elon, who was slowly sitting down, with expectant eyes.

She wanted to hear what she wanted to hear from the other person's mouth.

In Arminna's view, death is not terrible, but the bloom of a moment is eternal! Even if it was to give her life, she would not hesitate to do it!

She felt that she could believe in Aragorn, and she believed in her heart even more!

"There's little hope now, Arwen...... Nothing is certain about your future......"

Elon held his forehead with a little headache and closed his eyes in pain.

He understood his daughter's choice...... This will be a path of no return, once it is walked, it will mean death, and he does not want Arwen to go down this path.

"Awen, you should be able to see that if you really choose to stay, you can indeed be happy with Aragorn...... But, you have to think about it, their human lifespan is very short! ”

"And you? After Aragorn's death, you will live a long, lonely life......"

"You will become apathetic, you will become depressed, like the sky without stars in winter, cold and distant; As time goes by, people will forget about you, and then in the darkened woods, until winter comes, you will sleep in agony......"

Speaking of this, Elon closed his eyes again in pain, this is the future he can see.

He could now imagine that in the future, after Aragorn's death, Arwen would come alone to the deserted Roslorian or Rivendell, and be alone here, ending her life in a desolate way to what could have been eternal......

This is too cruel for Arwen and for Elon himself, this is much more cruel than Lucien's fate, this should not be his daughter's fate!

"However, some things are certain! Will I be with him, we will be happy, we will have our own children, those new lives? ”

"And I also know that if I leave him now, I will regret it for the rest of my life......"

Looking at his father's pained eyes, Arwen slowly knelt beside the other party's knee and pleaded softly.

"Father, it's time......"

"The flames of the ashes have been rekindled, the glory of the gloom has reappeared, the remnants of the blades have been reforged, and the uncrowned one will once again reign ......"

"Reforge the broken sword, father! Eventually, we will all pass away, but I am confident that I and my children will continue to exist and rule over this Middle-earth......"

“……”

Looking at his daughter, Arwen, Elon finally shook his head and stood up silently.

"Arwen, you may not understand it, but Middle-earth has changed!"

"The stars of the human emperor are becoming dim...... And a new star is rising! Moreover, it is emitting an incomparably dazzling light, and it is exalted in the sky......"

Elon walked over to the stone table, took out a copy of the espionage book full of information about Middle-earth, and handed it to Arwen, which he had just seen and wanted to record.

It is clearly written in elven script:

Anne, a powerful red-robed witch who eliminated the white-robed wizard Saruman and took over Isengard. Her magical flames were burning at the top of the Orzak Tower, and in the darkness of the night, it could be seen as far away as Roslorian......

A new country, a power called the United Kingdom of Alicia is rising strongly! With lightning speed, they quickly invaded all the territories of the former Arno Kingdom and radiated around......

In the north, they have now begun to gradually erode into the inherent territory west of the Noldor High Elves, and are still pressing towards the shore of Gray Harbor and other important places, and the white towers of the three elves can already see the red-backed and gold-edged vulture flags on their expanding territory in the distance!

Moreover, according to reliable information, there are a large number of dwarven craftsmen in the other party's capital! Those dwarven tribes in the north, they seem to have an ambiguous relationship with Alicia, and they have a great desire to form an alliance?!

In the south, this United Kingdom of Alicia has annexed all the territories of the Denlanders and completely conquered this barbarian tribe! At present, they have already gained the other party's joining after they wiped out tens of thousands of strong orcs in the Valley of the Holy Helmet and saved the Rohan Hussars!

Moreover, through the message of the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, who is now in urgent discussions with Queen Galadriel in the Golden Forest of Roslorian, the Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom of Gondor, the regent Dinethor II, has recovered his health and expressed his intention to join the United Kingdom of Alicia!

The most important thing is that the other party has made it clear: the kingdom of Gondor will not accept Aragon as the new king of Gondor!

At this point, the vast plains of Erealdo, the dense forests of Denland, the Ininwich Mountains, the Rohan steppes, and the kingdom of Gondor, and nearly half of the rich Middle-earth were all under the rule of the Alician Union......

Now, the army of the United Kingdom of Alicia, led by Queen Orfina and the Hussar King of Xieudon, is starting from Idoras, the capital of Gondor, out of the East Valley, along the line of Anorion, and is rapidly marching towards Minas Tirith, preparing to fight with the upcoming army of the Demon Lord Sauron on the fertile plains of Arnorien in front of the capital of Gondor!

"Alas......"

Looking at his daughter's gradually deteriorating face, King Ayron can now foresee: once the war between the two sides is over, no matter who wins or loses, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do in Aragorn! There is no longer a glimmer of hope for his human throne, and the Númenor royal family will become a speck of dust in the history books......

"How can this be ......?"

After reading this not long or short, but powerful information at a glance, the elf princess Arwen exclaimed, and the spy report in her hand also slid silently to the ground.

"So, Arwen...... Once you've figured it out, follow the next group of people to the Grey Harbor Shore! ”

"This Middle-earth, the era of our elves, is over...... Next, if nothing else, will be the age of humans and dwarves! Aragonese ...... He doesn't have a chance anymore! ”

"I'll still send someone to give it to him, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, King Elrond's eyes darkened and he exhaled heavily, and simply turned around, intending to leave the pavilion, which was gradually covered with fallen leaves.

In fact, he felt that it was pointless to reforge the Nasir Holy Sword, and that sword was no longer enough to change the current situation!

The age of the elves is over, and at the same time, the imperial power of Essidor has quietly come to an end. The era that originally belonged to Aragon ended shamefully before it had even begun......

"Father! Maybe...... Can Aragon travel with us to Amen? ”

Suddenly, Arwen seemed to have found a good idea: could he not leave Aragorn, but also not disobey Elon's order to go to Amen?

If, if Aragorn could leave Middle-earth with him......

"Nope! Arwen......"

"If nothing happens, the gods of Vera will never allow a Númenórean to set foot on the land of Amen! Not before, not now, and not in the future! ”

Ayron, whose face suddenly became cold and serious, said such words sternly.

In his opinion, Arwen must have really been carried away by those so-called loves! How dare she say such nonsense casually?!

Although, Aragorn also has the blood of elves......

But since their side has chosen the fate of humanity, there will never be a turning back! Elon believes that the gods of Vera will never agree to Aragorn setting foot on Amen Continent, after all, what the other party represents is the Númenórean royal family!

Back then, the greedy Númenóreans attacked Amen in search of eternal life, and it was impossible for the Vela gods to forget it so quickly!

"Arwen, my daughter...... It may be a long time before we elves finally leave Middle-earth. ”

"So, I hope you'll use this time to figure out whether you're willing to leave here and go to that eternal land...... Or stay in Middle-earth and watch yourself decay day by day? ”

"Believe me, if you stay here, there will be no hope for you, or your descendants......"

After saying this, Elon didn't say anything more, and just turned and left.

Their elves were now organizing their evacuation in an orderly manner, and Elon had placed himself on the last ship to leave with Galadriel.

Therefore, he believed that if there was such a long time, when the time came, when everything was settled, Arwen would definitely figure it out!

……

"Tell me, Galadriel, what the hell are we going to do now? Now things are going to be bad for us! ”

While King Elon of Rivendell was troubled by the fate of his daughter Arwen and Aragorn, Gandalf who had a gray nose at the red-robed witch of Isengar at the Golden Forest of Roslorian hurried to the place.

However, the little witch in the red robe didn't know anything about him, so she planned to come here and have a good talk with Galadriel, maybe, maybe she could do something good?

Of course, he was accompanied by three good friends: the dwarf Golden Bolt, the Dendanan ranger Aragon, and Sylvan's elven prince Legrath.

"Nope! It's not what we do, it's what you do? ...... Misrandire"

Galadriel was standing beside her basin-like magic mirror, and after pouring some special spring water from the Golden Forest, she began to look at the wonderful scene inside with great interest.

It was something different, an alternative fragment of the future, completely different from what she had seen before......

Although, she herself knows that what she sees inside, sometimes, is not necessarily true! However, she still thinks that if everything continues to develop according to this momentum, those future clips in it are actually quite good.

At least, it won't be worse than the previous one, will it?

"Me? What else can I do now? What can be done? I can't help that little girl anymore! ”

"It's all a mess! It's all that little girl, that red-robed witch, it's all her fault! Look at what Middle-earth has been stirred up by her now?! ”

Gandalf, who had lost almost all of his original plans and was in a mess, began to complain to Galadriel very dissatisfied.

Anyone can hear it, and now his tone is very angry, like a little old man who has been robbed of his favorite toy?

“……”

Jin Li and Legolas looked at each other and muttered twice, for fear of provoking Gandalf, who was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

Actually, in Jin Li's opinion, everything is fine now!

Look, Alicia has united all the forces that can be united, annexed or eliminated all the minions of Mordor in the northwest, and is proud to concentrate her forces on the fight against Mordor! In the future, maybe they can also send their troops north to the aid of the Lone Mountain Dwarves and Riverdale who are being caught between Mordo's orcs and Rune?

How good is this, what Gandalf is not happy with a hundred? In this regard, Jin Li has long complained in his heart, but he just doesn't dare to say it casually.

"Galadriel, do you have any good ideas?"

The situation in Middle-earth has been completely disrupted so far, and Gandalf does not know what kind of trouble this change will cause. Therefore, he immediately came to the golden forest here in Roslorian (Lothrin), intending to discuss countermeasures with this wise and powerful Galadriel.

If he could, he would like to get a solution to the problem from the other person's mouth.

"Mithrandier, it's time for you to learn to let go of ......"

After a moment's nostalgic glance at the contents of the future fragments that appeared in the magic mirror, Cui'er turned around and looked at Gandalf with a smile.

"I also see a glimmer of the future, yes, the era that belongs to mankind, has come......"

"Perhaps, it's time for us to heed the call of the Veras and prepare to sail to the West and leave this beautiful Middle-earth......"

After reaching out and gently brushing the surface of the Magic Mirror, and completely disrupting the image with his white fingers, Galadriel turned around with a smile and whispered to Gandalf and the other three.

"Leave? No, you can't leave yet! I'm gone, what about this Middle-earth?! ”

Hearing the meaning of the other party's mouth, it turned out that he was going to admit defeat, abandon the plan and go to Amen Island, Gandalf was obviously a little unhappy.

Gandalf has been in Middle-earth for so many years, and this is the first time that he has failed so inexplicably!

"Perhaps, you should go to Minas Tirith now, a great war is about to begin......"

Seeing Gandalf's refusal, Galadriel was not annoyed.

"When that great battle is over, I think, Mithlandil, and Aragorn, you will understand, and when the time comes, you may all answer the call with me and go to Amen?"

With that, Galadriel looked at Aragorn pointedly and smiled.

This Aragorn, who was supposed to be the emperor of men, can be said to be very unlucky, because what originally belonged to him was taken away by a mischievous little girl!

This thing is indeed a bit cruel......

However, he was also very lucky, because she had just learned that the other party might have a chance to get a ticket to Amen Island! This is unprecedented!

Galadriel thinks that the subtle relationship between gains and losses in this world is a very interesting thing.

"Minas Tirith......?"

After glancing at Aragorn next to him, Gandalf seemed to have something in mind.

In fact, there is no need for Galadriel to remind him that Gandalf is also planning to go to the capital of Gondor and witness the great battle with his own eyes! Of course, he also plans to fight one last time to see if there is a chance to turn the tables?

"A big war? So what are we waiting for now, hurry up and go, I can't wait! ”

The dwarf Jin Li, who had not understood the conversation of these people all along, finally stood up impatiently.

He hadn't had a chance to fight since he got the large-caliber musket that his father had built and given him! Since Lady Galadriel said that there would be a big battle in the capital of Gondor, he definitely didn't want to miss it!

His big gun is already hungry and thirsty! Perhaps, as his father Groyin said, killed an Ohei trolls with one shot?

————

When the elven bosses and Gandalf in the Golden Forest of Rivendell and Roslorian were having a headache over some little red-robed witch who was causing trouble; The orc armies of the Demon Lord Sauron, hiding in the shadows created by the Doomsday Volcano, are ready to wait for the clouds to obscure the sun and are about to launch a general assault on Gondor's capital, Minas Tirith; While Alicia's combined army was marching to East Rohan to be reinforced by Annorian to the south to Minas Tirith, the initiator of it all, a mischievous and playful little girl, was in her new mage tower, agonizing over the topographical map of the world!

"Hey! Tibbs, this universe seems a little weird, huh? ”

"Here, it's really too small, and it doesn't seem like the rules are too complete?"

Anne obtained these holographic simulation data through the interstellar detection equipment she installed in the tower of Ozark: This Middle-earth is still a complete universe?

In the past two days, through the equipment in the main control room of the Mage Tower, she discovered: Here, this Middle-earth world, is not so much a universe as a small divine kingdom of a certain god?

Or is it just a small enclosed copy of the holographic simulation game that Anne developed with the Dawning Brain when she was in StarCraft?

What makes this Middle-earth different from the holographic simulation of the replica is that it is an embodied plane of matter? All things have become 'existent' because of the intervention of some powerful force of rules? And, can you take it away?

This is like the supreme god Iluvita, who has the function of the Dawn of the Brain in StarCraft, and he has established a copy of this Middle-earth, where there is only the sphere of Middle-earth for the time being and the Amen continent that is floating in the universe far away from Middle-earth?

And then the world is surrounded by unedited 'walls of the night'! If you go through this wall, it's like you're out of an unrecognizable packet? And this outside is the so-called realm of emptiness? And those suns, moons, stars, and so on, are they really just big and small balls dotted on the sky?

Anne thinks that the gods of this world, his cosmology subjects must have failed for many years, or is it the kind that can't cross the passing line if he keeps repeating it? And then, in his anger and shame, He built this inexplicable little universe?

"Oh...... We might be in for a big deal! ”

After looking at the model of this world for a while, when her probe flew to Amen Island to conduct some field trips, but was suddenly captured by some kind of being, Anne felt that she really seemed to be in a big deal?

Who was the person who shot just now, and she couldn't even find out?

If you can create this kind of personal god-like existence out of thin air, then it must be undoubtedly a powerful existence like a creation god or world consciousness! And now, Anne is still in someone else's world, if she continues to mess around like this, she will always feel a little scared?

（…… ）

(Actually, don't be afraid, my little master!) Once we find out that the situation is not right, we will run immediately! ）

(Or, now, you anchor a world you've already been to with a space gem, and when the time comes, we don't even have to open the door, just run away, and no one can catch up!)

- This world, Tibbs doesn't think there's anything to worry about.

Because, it is obviously a new world, and many of the rules are not complete! Even the power of those gods is a mess!

Like that Gandalf, or the lesser god, Maia? Then, that's how his strength is, right? Even if he wasn't restricted, Tibbs wouldn't have instigated him! It felt, at most, that Master Anne needed to pay a little attention to what was called Iluvita? ）

"It's annoying!"

The planetary probe instrument was inexplicably fished away, and Anne didn't plan to continue the launch, so as not to anger the other party or something.

"Then happily decided! Let's finish this vote and withdraw immediately! Anyway, it's not much fun here! ”

Anne is now testing the reaction of the gods of this world, and judging by the fact that her Alicia United Kingdom has not been intervened, it seems that the result is quite good?

In the near future, her temptation may be a little more intense, and if the other party reacts violently, then she will probably start to find a way to evacuate.

(Little master, I don't think you really need to let that fool out, let him continue to be locked up for a long time?)

- Thinking about Anne's plan before, Tibbs thinks that it seems better to be conservative? In any case, this world is also a world with creation gods, and there are some things that should not be done too absolutely, so as not to make the other party unhappy and fight. ）

"I don't! It's so fun, I should always give it a try! ”

After shutting down the instrument with a snap, Anne walked to the lounge at the top of the mage tower, and in two or three days at most, a big battle would start, and then everything would be decided!

So, she decided to stay in the mage tower and rest for two days, after she was done recuperating and getting ready for some fights, like melon seeds or drinks? When the time comes, go out to that place called Minas Tirith and watch humans and orcs fight and play!
