Chapter 480: The Noldor Elves who have reconciled "2/3"
Since the death of Fernor of the Noldor, the Noldor Elves have lost one of their greatest figures. Ferno wanted his sons to avenge him by carrying on his legacy. The sons naturally comply, after all, the hatred of killing the father is not shared!
In the Mislin region, there were some gray elves who had wandered north from Beleriand and crossed the mountains, and the Noldor elves were very happy when they met them, as if they had been reunited after a long absence. However, communication between them was not easy at first, and in this centuries-long separation, the language of the High Elves living in Valinor and the Dark Elves living in Beleriander had become very different.
From the elves of Misrin, the Noldor elves learned of the power of Eru Singh (Elway), the king of Doriath, and the circle of enchantments that defended his territory. On the other hand, these events that took place in the north also spread south to the Minni Kingdom (palace of the Thousand Grottoes), as well as to the seaports of Besumba and Igrariste.
So all the elves of Beleriander were full of wonder and hope at the arrival of this powerful kinship; In their desperate need for help, the clan unexpectedly arrived from the west, so at first they assumed that the Noldor were the envoys sent by Vera to rescue them. (The elves who stayed in Middle-earth did not know about the massacre that happened in Okutaki at this moment)
At this moment, Morgoth sent an emissary to the sons of Fernor, who not only admitted defeat, but also made terms for peace, including an Elven Diamond. As the eldest son, the tall Mezlos persuaded his younger brothers to pretend to agree to Morgoth's terms of peace. He then went to meet his envoy at the agreed place, but the Noldor were not as arrogant as Morgoth thought. As a result, when the two sides met, they both brought more men and horses than they had agreed upon, but Morgoth brought more, including a fire demon. This is the appearance of the degraded god who has been polluted by him, and the form of a mutated incarnation, surrounded by a thick flame, even the evil and powerful Ugoliant, who is so terrifying to Morgoth, has been banished by the fire demons. Therefore, the outcome of this war is naturally unknown! The men and horses brought by Mezlos were wiped out, and he himself was captured alive and taken to Angbon on Morgoth's orders.
When his brothers heard the news, they retreated back to Heslon and fortified themselves. Morgoth, on the other hand, took Myzlos hostage, and spread the word that he would not release Myzlos unless the Noldor Elves gave up the war and returned to the West, or relocated to the South, far from Bellan. But the sons of Felnor knew that no matter what they did, Morgoth would break his word and would not release their eldest brother as promised; Moreover, they are bound by their own vows that they will not give up waging war against their enemies under any circumstances. Morgoth then hung Mezlos from the cliff of Angolom, and handcuffed one of his wrists to a steel chain, one end of which was nailed to the rock of the cliff.
At this time, Fen Guoyu and his people had already crossed the Strait of Ice. At the same time, the whole world is amazed by the rising crescent moon. As Finn Koh's brigade marched into Mislin, the blazing sun rose in the west. (In the beginning, the sun rises from the west, because the world of Alda is flat, and when it becomes spherical later, it rises from the east.) Finn unfurled his blue and silver banner and sounded his trumpet loudly, and the flowers did not bloom under his feet, and the age of the stars was over.
Under the intense light of the rise, Morgoth's servants rushed into Angban, and Finn and his party hid underground while the enemy hid underground. Unhindered, they came to the city of Angban, and beat the drums! The sound of their trumpets and drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and shook the towering Angolom, and Mezlos heard their voices in his torment, and he cried out to them with a loud voice, but the sound dissipated in the echo of the rocks.
Fen Guoxuan's temperament is different from that of Fernau, who is more cautious and considerate of things. Unable to call out the enemy, he led his people out of Angban and back to the Misling region. Because, he had heard that Fernor's son was there, and he also wanted to use the Shadow Mountains as a barrier to make his people grow.
However, because Fernor had abandoned them, Finnor and the Noldor Elves he led had no good feelings for Fernor and his people. And Felnor's sons were also extremely surprised that this group of people had walked out of the Ice Strait. They were tempted to join forces with the group, but were ashamed of the fact that they had abandoned them. So, one of them lived on the north shore of Lake Mislin and the other on the south shore.
So, during this time, they achieved nothing. Although Morgoth's servants were hiding in the underneath Angban, it might be a good thing if they could put aside their old grudges and join forces at this time. However, it is clear that there is already a big problem between the two sides. Therefore, it is simply impossible for them to join forces against the enemy!
Morgoth laughed happily when he found out, and then he reacted. He released a thick cloud of black smoke and poisonous gas, obscuring the sun's brilliance. Black smoke pollutes the fresh air, while poisonous gases turn the clear water into highly toxic. And it spread to the Mislin region, which made the Noldor who were in turmoil know one thing, they missed the opportunity!
The black smoke and poisonous gas that covered the sky made the Noldor people nervous, and they thought it was a precursor to Morgoth coming to attack them! Therefore, Fingon, the most courageous son of Finn, was determined to reconcile the feud between the divided Noldor before Morgoth came to attack them. Because, during the time of Valinor, during the time when Morgoth was imprisoned by the Veras, the Noldor were at peace with each other, harmonious and loving. At that time, Morgoth's remoteness and provocation had not yet spread among them. And he and Fernau's eldest son, his cousin Mezlos, were very good friends.
So, Fingon went on his own road to find his cousin Mezlos. He traveled to Angban alone, and the black smoke from Morgoth served as his best barrier. He came to Angban unnoticed, and climbed the mountainside of Angolom without fear of any difficulty. However, the endless wilderness presented before his eyes did not allow him to find a passage into the fortress of Angban. In despair, Fingon took out his harp, not afraid of the danger of the orcs, and sang an old ballad about Valinor. It was a song that was passed down when the Noldor were not born. The song echoed through the wilderness, and instead he found his purpose, and a weak echo was heard above his head, as Mezloth, tormented by Morgoth, in response to Fingon's song.
So Fengong climbed all the way up to the bottom of the cliff that bound his cousin, for there was no way to continue his upward climb. He looked at his cousin, who was tortured by Morgoth, and his heart was so sad that he couldn't help but cry. In desperation, Mezlos begged Fingon to kill him with an arrow, so Fingon drew his bow and looked at Mezlos with trembling hands and red eyes. In this hopeless situation, he cried out to Manway, "O great king whom the wings love, let the arrows fly away, and give them some mercy when they are in dire need of help!" ”
His cries were answered immediately, for all the birds in Middle-earth loved Manway, and they continued to relay what had happened in Middle-earth to the summit of Tyniketil. Manway also ordered his eagles to fly back to the north to nest and monitor Morgoth's movements. Because Manway still has compassion for the exiled elves, and the birds are constantly passing these things on to Manway's sad ears.
Just as Fingon was about to shoot an arrow, Sorondo, the king of the eagles, descended from the sky and stopped Fingon. With his wings outstretched, thirty feet (more than 9 meters), he sat Fingon on his back and carried him to Mezlos. However, the wire that Morgoth used to bind Mezlos was so strong that it could not be pulled out, and the weakened Mezlos begged Fingon to kill him again. But Fingon did not do this, he severed the palm of the hand that bound Mezlos's hand, freed him, and returned to Mislin with the help of Sorondo, the Lord of the Eagles.
After a period of recuperation, Mezlos healed his wounds, for the fire of his life burned in his soul, and his power was the power of the ancient earth, possessed by those who grew up in Valinor. His body recovered from the torture he had endured and he had become stronger, but the pain he had endured had left a shadow on his heart. Now he trained himself to wield a sword with his left hand, making it even more terrifying than he had used to use his right hand. This work of Fingon earned him great fame, and all the Noldor elves praised him; The hatred between the two families, Finn and Fernor, was finally resolved. Begging for forgiveness for the betrayal of Ariman, and relinquishing the royal power over the entire tribe of Nuodor, Mezlos said to Finn, "If we do not have these grievances and grievances, my lord, the line of royal power is still yours, and here you are the oldest and wisest of the Fenway family." However, not every brother of Mezlos approved of his actions.
In this way, Mandus's prophecy came true. As Mandus had predicted, the Felfno family had lost not only the Elven Diamond, but also the royal power. As a result, the reunited Noldor set up a defensive line in the Terror Mountains (Eredgolos), surrounded Angband to the east, west, and south, and sent emissaries into the Berland region to trade with the people they lived in.
King Xingar did not welcome the arrival of so many powerful elven princes from the west to occupy new lands; He would neither open his kingdom nor remove the enchanted ring, for Merian's wisdom had made him wise to anticipate that Morgoth's restraint would not last long. Of all the Noldor princes, only the family of Fernafin was saddened by the ban on entering Doriath; Since their mother was Irwen of Okolondi, the daughter of Owe, they were close relatives of King Singar.
Fenafin's son Angelode, who was the first exile to come to Minni Kingdom, came as an emissary of his brother Finrod, and talked for a long time with King Singar, telling him of the exploits of the Noldor elves in the north, and their numbers, and their troops; In accordance with his supposed sincerity and wisdom, and his belief that all the tragedies were now resolved, he did not say a word about the murder of his relatives, nor did he say anything about the exile of the Noldor and the oath made by Felno.
Believing that he was unaware of the massacre that had taken place in Amen, before leaving, he told Angrod to tell him to send a message to the person who had asked him to take the message. Tell them that they may reside in his territory, but that they must not expel their people, and that they must not be allowed to enter the Ring of Merry without cause. They are not allowed to set foot in Dorias unless they have his permission or are received by him!
