Chapter Forty-Six: The Holy City of Eraclair
Back at the family hotel, the little boy made him ham to eat as agreed.
He casually invited Teddy Lan, but he didn't expect to actually sit down.
"I want to make a deal with you." Rie Tedi Lan said after waiting for Liu Zheng to finish eating the ham.
"Oh? What is the deal? Liu Zheng said curiously.
Ritediran pointed to the ancient rune shield and said, "I want to buy this shield." ”
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "A dragon tear gem." ”
Rietediran thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "It's not that valuable." ”
Liu Zheng was not too disappointed, and spread his hands and said, "Then I don't have anything I really want." ”
Rietydilan was silent for a moment, then said, "I can give you Noldor's weapons, armor, or horses, or I can serve you for ten years." ”
"Why is this shield so important?" Liu Zheng was a little surprised.
Even if the life span of the Nuodoren is far better than that of humans, ten years of effectiveness is not too short.
Noldor's equipment and horses were not readily available, and only one merchant in the entire Pander had such a concession.
"This shield was made by the Sindar and has lost magical technology on it." Ritediran revealed a little.
"You want Noldor to do this." Liu Zheng debunked his thoughts.
Ritediran didn't refute, just looked at him in silence.
"You let me go to Eraclair, and I'll give the shield to Noldor." Liu Zheng put forward his own request.
"No way, the location of Ellaclay must not be known to humans." Ritediran refused without hesitation.
"You can blindfold me. Either Dragon's Tears, or take me to Ellaclay. Liu Zheng's will is also very firm.
Ritediran was once again lost in thought, the Dragon's Tears Gem was impossible, and Ellaclair's magic array needed it to maintain.
But as the only city of the Noldor Elves, Elaclair's location is also top secret.
But the Ancient Rune Shield is also very important, and the magic technology on it can not only be used to strengthen weapons and equipment, but also to reduce the consumption of magic arrays.
"What are you going to do in Ellacle?" Ritediran asked.
"I want to see if there is any chance to exchange for the Dragon's Tear Gem, and by the way, I want to fight with your powerhouse." Liu Zheng said frankly.
The Noldor Elf has a talent for discerning people's hearts, and Tedillan can sense that Liu Zheng's answer is sincere.
"I need to ask for instructions, and I'll answer you in three days." As soon as Riedylan's voice fell, he hurried away.
Three days later, Ritediran returned to the hotel.
"Come with me." The Nuoduo turned over and got on their horses, and Liu Zheng also rode to follow.
Riding all the way to the border of the forest in Changhe Town, Ritadilan took out a rune and handed it to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng took it, and it was suddenly dark in front of him.
"This is a blind rune, and it will automatically expire when it enters the range of Ayrraclair." Ritediran explained.
"And how do I ride a horse?" Liu Zheng asked.
"It will follow me." Rie Tedillan didn't explain, but it was estimated that it was a rune or something, and the race with magic was willful.
After losing his vision, Liu Zheng's sense of time was also a little confused.
It felt like a century later, and he had finally regained his light, but it was a little too bright.
In front of him was a pure white city, the sunlight was absorbed by the mist-like magic array, and through the magic transformation into the light emitted by the city itself, it was gentle and solemn, so that people did not dare to look at it directly.
"This is the holy city of Ellaclay, the only and last home of the Noldor." After many years, he was finally able to return to the Holy City, and Ritadilan was also a little excited.
The guards at the city gate seemed to know that they were coming, and did not interrogate, but only glanced at Liu Zheng covertly with curious eyes.
Instead of taking him around the city, Rietydilan led him directly to the castle hall, where four tall and handsome Noldor elves were already waiting.
"Go see your mother, Risol, she's been missing you for a long time." The only female Noldor said gently.
"Yes, Patriarch Keller von Il." Rietediran bowed his head respectfully, and then exited the castle hall.
"In fact, many people are not in favor of allowing humanity to enter the sacred Eraclair. But Ritediran is the best scout for Noldor, and we're willing to trust his judgment. Now, could you please show us the shield? Keller von Ilwin said.
Liu Zheng put down the package he was carrying and took out the ancient rune shield.
Keller von Il stretched out his hand, and the shield flew into her hand.
"It's the handiwork of Master Sinda Elves, and although the magic has faded, the lines are well preserved." Keller von Il's tone was delighted.
The other three elven patriarchs also smiled with satisfaction.
"Human, this shield is of great value. The Noldocrats don't like to take advantage of them, and you can challenge a Twilight Knight who won't use any magic or magic items. If you can defeat him, you'll get a full set of Noldor Noble gear. Keller von Il made a bid.
"What if I want to challenge you?" Liu Zheng asked.
"If you can hit us, I'll give you a full set of Twilight Knight gear and send three Noldor Ranger as your mercenaries." The tallest of the Noldor patriarchs looked disdainful.
"What do you call you? Honorable Lord Noldor. Liu Zheng asked politely.
"I'm Aldaryan." Ardarian replied haughtily.
"Then, the human Wallace challenges you, noble Lord Aldaryan." Liu Zheng stroked his chest and said.
"Okay, let's get started." Ardalian said as he drew his elven sword.
"No, go to the Arena, Your Highness Ardarian." Keller von Il stopped him.
"I don't think it's necessary." Aldarian was unimpressed.
"It is necessary for children to see the true human powerhouse." Keller von Il spoke firmly.
Ardalian was silent for a few seconds, then let go of his sword-gripping hand and strode out of the hall.
"Patriarch Ardalyan wants to compete with humans, and Patriarch Keller von Il has ordered us to go to the arena to watch." The Noldor bureaucrats gathered the warriors who had stayed behind in Ayrclay and the Noldor elves who were about to become adults.
"Bring a human sword." Aldalian glanced at Liu Zheng's club, and then ordered the manager of the arena.
The steward immediately went to the warehouse and retrieved a one-handed sword and presented it to Aldarion.
Aldarian casually grabbed a few sword flowers and raised his chin proudly: "Come on, human, let me see what you are capable of." ”
Liu Zheng was not angry, no matter whether Aldalian was naturally proud or the tricks that affected his mood, he could not shake his state of mind.
The battle in the Dream Gladiatorial Arena and the combat experience in the "Secret Keeper" mission world allowed him to at least maintain the best attitude when fighting.
The Lord of Noldor in front of him was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered, and he was also the best appraiser in his strength ranking among the Pande powerhouses.
