Chapter 481: Durin Dwarves "3/3"

Angrod brought the message to Mislin while the Noldor princes were in a meeting. When they heard Singar's request, they were all extremely angry. Mezlos even ridiculed Singar, believing that Singar's self-righteous generosity was nothing more than giving them land beyond the reach of his power. In fact, they despise the kingdom of Doriath, which is hiding in the Ring of Beauty, believing that it is just an illusory title and has no effect. Even, in their words, there was a covetousness for Doriath. They even said that they were glad that their neighbors were Noldor elves and not the minions and orcs of Morgoth, otherwise, it would be impossible to protect them even with the Charm Ring, and even mocked the Thousand Grottoes Palace as a cave in the ground, and the inhabitants of Dorias as dark elves and cowards. He even humiliated Angerod's mother for this, saying that she was just a foreigner. This made Angerod angry and wanted to walk away, but Mezlos relented.

The group then moved away from Mislin and headed east, across the Alos River, to the land of Shimrin, which they named the Mezlos Line. From there to the north there were hardly any hills or rivers to the north to make a barrier against attacks from Angban. Mezlos and his brothers watched the line of defense day and night, gathering as many as they could to follow them; Except when necessary, they had little contact with the people who lived in the west. It is said that such a plan of defense was invented by Mezlos to reduce the likelihood of being attacked, and also because he very much hoped that the greatest danger would fall on him when the attack came; At the same time, he continued to maintain a personal friendship with the Finns and the Finnafines, and he would visit them from time to time to consult with them. But he was still bound by the oath, which was still at this time.

……

And in the valley delta, the city-building operation is in full swing! Thanks to the expansion of the race, the addition of Sindar and Nando has made the Isvel elves, who are already overstretched, fully powerful. Not only did the population jump back to its heyday in Valinor, but it also had a thousand more people. In this way, the action of building cities has undoubtedly been greatly accelerated.

And it was also during this time that they were in full swing to build a city, which alarmed the dwarf clan on the mountain, that is, the Durin clan! They are passionate about blacksmithing, and they are even more passionate about digging for metals and treasures underground. Therefore, their city is also constantly extending underground, and over time, they have built an incomparably large underground city, Moria!

The dwarves had lived peacefully in their cities, but the sudden arrival of a group of Isvel elves, and the arrival of a group of people who he thought were uninvited guests, made the dwarves angry. So, they quietly reconnoitred it, and the news they found almost frightened the dwarves.

Tens of thousands of people, well-armed weapons and a variety of large killing weapons, plus good quality. (The dwarves look at the tents and the soldiers on patrol to deduce the conclusion.) And the fact that it was far taller than the elves they had ever seen before, which was unsettling to the dwarves. Although, they were confident that their city was built underground, and that it would be impossible for the elves to breach his fortresses and fortresses. However, anyone who is facing such a huge group of people who are building cities in a hurry and want to settle permanently will feel uneasy!

So, the dwarves began to try to get in touch, after all, things were discussed. Unable to distinguish between hostility and kindness, the dwarves still felt that they should talk to the elves. Find out what they want to do or what they want to do, and then talk about it. If the dwarves indiscriminately attack the elves who are mining rocks to build a city, then they may cause some trouble. At this point, the dwarves' sudden premonition in their hearts was very disturbing to them.

Then the dwarves sent a delegation to the delta region below the mountain. For the dwarves, the Isvel elves were seeing them for the first time, so they were extremely curious. Looking at this group of dwarves, no larger than their thighs, the Isvel elves began to slowly evaluate the armor worn by the dwarves and the weapons they carried in their hands. It was concluded that the dwarves possessed a high level of blacksmithing skills, and although they were not as skilled as theirs, they were not to be underestimated.

And the dwarves were equally curious to observe this group of strange visitors, well, very tall, with long silver hair, blue eyes, elegant dress, and excellent armor and weapons. They were amazed by the strange shapes of the armor and weapons that the dwarves had never seen before. However, when they saw a group of patrolling soldiers, the two-meter-long spear in their hands (roughly similar to the Mo knife. Their eyes widened, and they had no doubt about the lethality of the seemingly slender and thin knife.

Then they began to look at the camp, and the outermost guard towers and fences were built to drain the entire huge camp circle. Flat land, foundations being excavated and prototypes of cities being built, and polished boulders. Piles of dirt and gravel, river boats under construction, and so on.

The dwarves found that the strange elves looked like a well-trained army. All of them, whether male or female, or young children, have their own things to do. It's just that what the toddlers do is to have fun playing and learning words, art, martial arts, and so on from the teachers, in short, a lot of lessons.

During the two hundred years of the dwarf's lifespan, such a course of study was extremely irritating. It was enough for them to learn how to forge, how to work with gemstones, how to build cities, how to fight. As for the rest, to the dwarves, it was just a dispensable foil. The elves, on the other hand, have plenty of time for them to learn these things in their long lives. Jiang Ning divided a specific division of labor for them, ensuring that almost everyone could find a career that they were interested in.

And these professions that interest them, falling into the hands of elves, represent the possibility of developing to the peak state in the long and endless time in the future. That's because the elves have the capital to squander countless hours unscrupulously! In contrast, the other secondary races have no such capital at all.

But who made the elves the sons of Iluvita? While the other one is the youngest son, and the other is the adopted son. It can't be compared to his own son and eldest son at all!

In a gorgeous, extensive royal tent, the dwarves finally met the king and leader of this elven race.

Jiang Ning turned his back to them, his hands behind his back, his eyes staring at a design and the surrounding terrain map, thinking carefully about the problem. Then, his attendant told him in his ear that the dwarven mission was coming, so Jiang Ning turned around and looked at the group of dwarves with his head slightly down. With a height of more than two meters, you can't raise your head even if you want to face a dwarf who is no bigger than your thighs!

Dwarf: "¥#@&**..."

Elf: "......"

No one speaks the language of the dwarves, and the language of the dwarves sounds vulgar to the elves. How could it be compared to the beautiful language of the elves? And the contrast between elves and elves is that the Elves of Isvir despise the other people in general, no, their language. It's an elegant elf, but it's no match for the new language they speak. In terms of writing, it is also different, their writing is more like art and painting, the lines are smooth, all in one go, very refreshing! Therefore, the Elves of Isvel do not bother to learn the languages of other peoples except Quenya and Tellery.

In desperation, Jiang Ning could only communicate with his heart, and his body began to bloom with a faint white light, connecting everyone's hearts. In an instant, to the dwarf's ears, an incomparably elegant and gentle voice rang out, "Welcome, children of Olli!" ”

"You..."

The dwarves were very surprised, not because of this telepathic voice, but because of the fact that the elves in front of them knew in an instant that they were the children of Olli. This shocked them, but even more shocking news came, "Don't be surprised, Durin Clan, we are a group of High Elves from Valinor, who have settled here to fight the darkness and evil under Morgoth's rule!" You are the children of Olli, and naturally our friends, so please don't worry about the dwarves of Durin, our people have kindness to you, not malice! ”

"And how do I know if you're trying to deceive us?"

"And then attack our cities, kill our people, and rob our treasures?"

Faced with the dwarves' doubts, Jiang Ning invited them to sit down, after all, it was very uncomfortable to keep their heads down, and after they all sat down, he ordered someone to bring food and wine, Jiang Ning said: "You don't have to worry about this. If our people want to do you badly, they will attack you at the first opportunity. Believe me, the city fortress you are so proud of is completely invincible to our people! Ignoring the angry dwarves, he continued, "Our forgery has been learned from the teachings of Ori, and therefore our children have come with kindness rather than malice. We are a peace-loving people, and the purpose of returning to Middle-earth is also to declare war on evil! I heard that in the West, your people are fighting alongside our kind, not only helping our people build weapons, but even helping them build cities! Therefore, we can be friends, not enemies, to dwarves who are also good people! I believe that neither you nor we want a war that will lead to the death of our people. "It's a fact that our people have settled here, and we just want to establish a home in peace and then declare war on Morgoth. The two races can be completely united, and they will be safe with each other! ”

The leading dwarf replied, "We dwarves have been living here, and it's okay after so many years, so why do we want to ally with you?" ”

Jiang Ning said with a smile, "Even if it is strong, it is impossible for a prosperous group to be strong forever. Decline is inevitable, and no one will refuse a friend, not even a dwarf or an elf. If your people reject the alliance, we can still live with each other in peace. But when the day comes, your people's calamity comes, you will regret your decision to refuse my helping hand. At the same time, you will regret it, you will be annoyed, and you will despair to find that you have no friends to help you! ”
