97 A sword from the north
Although Charles was much more famous in Gondolin than he had been at first, his narrow social scene here remained the same.
During the three months he lived in Gondolin, he had little contact with outsiders, except for members of the royal family and some elves related to work or study.
This also led to rumors that he was withdrawn and not good at words.
So much so that some elves who knew his true identity were quite surprised by this, wondering how a king could be so withdrawn.
In reality, however, Charles was just avoiding meaningless social interactions, which in his opinion were just a waste of time and had nothing to do with the purpose of his visit.
Turgong told him about this several times, but to no avail, and in the end he had no choice but to let it go.
However, in addition to some necessary personnel, there is actually a very special existence that Charles has contact with.
That's the Great Eagle.
In the past, when he was in the Land of the Seven Rivers, he met and "befriended" a special eagle.
At the time, he thought that this eagle was not ordinary. Later, he was able to wrestle with the angry giant for a long time without being crushed to death, and the eagle contributed a lot to it.
Originally, he thought that the eagle might never be seen again after he left. However, when he arrived in Gangdorin, he suddenly found that that guy was actually the "local eagle" here!
It is the leader of the Eagle of Manwair, an appendage of the Eagle King Gwihill, called Gwihill.
Because of everything in the past, Charles and this eagle can be regarded as sharing hardships and sorrows, so the friendship between the two of them is actually not bad.
The charr did not consider the eagle to be a brute, as it possessed a high level of intelligence and could even speak.
This may be because his boss is a Maia, or he may be a Maia himself.
In short, despite being an eagle, he became one of the few friends of Charles here.
During his busy and fulfilling life, Gwyhill would often come to visit him, bringing occasional gifts that he thought were great.
Rare mountain flowers and fruits, plump rabbits, and even brightly colored poisonous snakes......
Gradually, Charles got used to the eagle's seemingly mighty and heroic style, but in fact it was a bit nonsensical.
However, no matter what it brought in the past, it was not as special as the sword that was in front of Charles at this time.
That's right, the sword.
A silver-gray sword with a straight blood groove, a curved gauntlet, and a hilt makes for a very beautiful sword!
"Angveriel?"
Charles was familiar with the sword, but as an elf he had more contact with, Arettir recognized it at a glance.
Because the eagle's cry was so loud, she heard the movement as well.
What she saw at this time made her even more emotional, "This is your father's sword!" This...... How could it be gotten by the Great Eagle? β
Charles knew why, for he had already "asked" the reason for the sword before Gwyhill left.
That was obtained within the northern plains of Adgaran.
Bands of orcs often sprang out of the besieged Angban to probe the encirclement, and the sword was in the hands of one of the attackers.
Fen Gong, the eldest son of the High King of Noldor, obtained the sword after repelling his enemies.
Because the dark elf Eor had visited his father, he recognized the owner of the sword at first sight.
And because his brother Turgong had written to them to help keep an eye on Γor's whereabouts, he had a great eagle active on the northern line of the encirclement send the sword to him.
After explaining softly to Arityr, this one looked worried.
What does Eor's sword mean when it is held in the hand of an orc?
If it was an ordinary sword, it wouldn't make her think too much, but this sword wasn't ordinary.
It's called Angwereel, and it was created by Eore from a meteorite from outside the sky in his early years, and when the sword is formed, it can cut off any weapon made of mortal iron in this world!
Angveriel had always been regarded as his life, and even when he was attacked by orcs and thought that there was no hope of escape, he solemnly handed over the sword to Arityr, apparently treating it as a precious family heirloom.
Later, after being rescued, Eor found Arettir in Doriath, and after arguing and scolding, he took the sword away and disappeared until now.
"Don't think too much about it, maybe it was just left behind by accident."
Charles comforted his cheap mother, but not to mention that Arettir didn't believe it, even he himself could hardly convince himself so much.
The cheap father who has been looking for him for decades has an accident, and this probability accounts for more than 80 percent.
What was the accident?
If it's just a simple injury, it's okay to say, but if it's ......
Charles secretly felt a little bad, but at this time there was no news from him except for a sword, and he couldn't be sure of his guess.
"I'm going to the north to find him, and since this sword has appeared in the north, then your father must still be in that place! I know him, and if he does leave Angveriel behind, he won't give up on finding it, yes, he ......."
"It won't help you to go to the north, since there is Uncle Fingon there to help you keep an eye on the search, there will be no more success rate if you have more of you, but if you really leave here, it will definitely worry Uncle Turgong."
He persuaded the agitated Arettir to persuade him, and the other party gradually calmed down.
"That'...... We're just waiting here? Arityr, who faintly regarded Charles as his backbone, looked a little at a loss at this time.
"That's right, wait, wait for news."
Charles rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If it's just a simple accident, then Uncle Fengong will be able to find my father sooner or later." And if the worst happens, he won't die, as you've probably heard that Morgoth loves elven slaves and never kills much, because they are highly skilled and can help mine and forge weapons. The former needs to wait for a reply from the North, and the latter ...... If it is really the latter, then there is no other way but to break Angban, and it is useless to rush. Anyway, you go and rest, and I'll keep an eye on it. β
His tone was firm, but his heart was also full of uncertainty.
However, this can be regarded as a temporary end to this sudden accident. Worried, Arettir calmed down and was eventually persuaded by Charles to go back.
Charles was at a loss.
What would E'ol do if he was really captured by Angban?
Indifferent?
Apparently impossible.
Fighting for the rescue?
The ability is not enough......
Thoughts flowed through my mind, thinking about what I would do in the worst-case scenario, thinking about the skills I had just broken through.
Think about when the talent you have will change again, and whether you can find a way to actively improve.
I thought that I had thought about learning too many spells before, but I didn't bother with it for the time being because of the jewelry......
In the end, all his thoughts were swept away, and there was still only one sentence in his mind - wait for the news first, and do whatever he should do.
So he put aside it for a moment, and lay down on his bed trying to put himself into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the atmosphere at breakfast was a bit dreary.
But then Charles resumed his normal routine, went out to the library to learn language and writing, and returned at noon to continue his unfinished work.
Flashes of light flickered one after another, but the result was still terrible, either the jewel was dusty or cracked inside.
Time passed, and another month had passed since Charles had figured out this method.
It was a quiet month, except for a heavy snowfall every once in a while, and there was no news from the north.
It seems to be very bad, and it seems to be full of luck.
Warm furnaces burn with freshly mined black ore, and this winter, the well-prepared city of Gondolin is full of red heatwaves.
It was in this special atmosphere that Charles finally created a finished product.
