After looking for a long time, he had to admit that if he wanted to break into the tunnels like a dwarf, it was better to go into the woods honestly.

The forest is friendly to elves.

After Mo Tie entered the forest, he found that his perception had risen to a higher level, and he could clearly know the situation in all directions, what was hidden behind each tree, and where there was a quiet stream, could not escape his ears and eyes.

However, the feeling of being in the Troll Forest was not so strong at first, perhaps because Rivendell was hidden here.

Mo Tie walked and walked, suddenly stunned, and gently brushed the fallen leaves on the ground with his toes, and several white gravel with moss appeared in front of his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he blew away the fallen leaves on the ground, revealing a green white gravel path and finding his way.

Walking along the trail, at the end, Mo Tie felt a light in front of him, like a willow and a bright flower, and saw an open river valley.

Many of the exquisite houses are nestled in the valleys, shaded by trees, with a babbling stream running through them, and a long stone bridge leading to the deepest part.

After walking so many worlds, it was the first time for Mo Tie to see a scenery that was perfectly integrated with nature, maybe this was the racial talent of the elves.

He saw a few guards patrolling, there were not many of them, after all, it was difficult to find here, and only basic precautions were needed.

As he continued to advance and stepped onto the stone bridge, the guards saw him as well.

An elf walked over and greeted Mo Tie.

"Hello, welcome to Rivendell, are you here to join us?"

There is no shortage of wandering travelers in Middle-earth, there are humans, dwarves or elves, and it is normal for lone elves to come to Rivendell and join the extended family, although it is rare.

"Oh no, I'm just here to see the legendary Rivendell."

Mo Tie explained with a smile on his face.

The elf nodded and said, "That's also welcome, please come with me, and I'll take you to Lord Elrond." ”

Mo Tie nodded in gratitude and followed the elegant elf.

Walking across the stone bridge and entering the palace area, there is a melodious harp sound, accompanied by the crisp sound of the flute, and the sound of water in small waterfalls, a refreshing music is born.

"It's so beautiful here." Mo Tie couldn't help but admire.

"Rivendell is like that all year round, and this is the life that elves should enjoy." The elf who led the way explained.

On the way, the female elves who played melodious music looked at Mo Tie curiously, they had beautiful faces and soft bodies, and their beautiful black and white eyes kept peeking at him.

In terms of appearance, the face Mo Tie used was more angular and masculine than ordinary elves, so it was no wonder that those female elves were curious about him.

Pushing open the gate of the palace, there were already guards announcing Mo Tie's arrival, and Elon also sat on the throne, and four elves on each side greeted them, all smiling.

The elf who led the way reported, "Lord Elon, he's here." ”

After speaking, he retreated to the side.

On the throne is the Elven Lord Elon, who has one of the Three Elven Rings, the Wind Ring, Veya. Due to his half-elven blood, Elon has human features and a rather tough face.

"Greetings, Lord Elon."

Mo Tie saluted, this etiquette was specially asked by Gandalf for advice.

"Hello, traveler." Elon nodded in response, "Mind if I ask where you're from?" Woodland or Grey Harbor? ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I've been wandering in Middle-earth since I was a child, and I'm not from elven territory. I'm more used to living in a fixed place than an elf life. ”

Mo Tie explained.

"I see, no wonder you don't want to fit in." Elon nodded in realization, "Each elf should have his own choice, and I respect your wishes. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord."

"If nothing happens, I want you to wait here for a few months, Mr. Ain." Elon said suddenly.

Mo Tie was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was Gandalf who told Elon his name. The wizard hadn't come to Rivendell yet, but he should have some small means of delivering the news.

"As you wish, my lord. I've made an appointment with Gandalf, the Grey-robed wizard, to meet here. Mo Tie had no reason to refuse.

Elon smiled knowingly, "Gandalf will be here soon, I wish you a nice stay here." ”

Rivendell's elves are mainly vegetarian, but fortunately, Mo Tie brought a lot of wine with him, so he didn't have a full face of dishes, and of course, his wine also attracted the curiosity of other elves.

After trying to get drunk, the elf who secretly drank with Mo Tie called the wine a psychedelic country, and as a result, Mo Tie's backpack of all kinds of good wine was drunk.

Others were interested in his weapons, and when they heard that these two knives could be turned into longbows, they were all surprised and looked skeptical.

Mo Tie smiled slightly, turned the blades of the two knives outward, the handles of the knives touched, pulled out a steel wire from the tip of one of them, and tied it to the other end.

It's a longbow.

"But doesn't that affect your archery? This cannot be called a bow at all. ”

Mo Tie casually pulled out an arrow, only half of it was pulled, and with a "whoosh", it shot through the leaves thousands of kilometers away.

Even Elven Lord Elon watched Mo Tie's demonstration and said that it was an ingenious design. When he heard that this was a dwarven design, he couldn't help but admire: "Indeed, compared to elves, those dwarves are natural blacksmiths. ”

So, for the rest of the month, the elves held archery contest after archery competition, and Rivendell had arrows flying all day long, and all the leaves and fruits of the trees were killed.

This scenario continued until Gandalf's appearance.

"Mr. Gandalf."

When Mo Tie saw the gray-robed wizard appear on the stone bridge, he ran to him and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Ain, you came much earlier than I expected."

Gandalf said with a mysterious smile.

"That's right, because I can't wait to know your plans."

"You'll know, but I'll have to wait until I've talked to Lord Elon."

Gandalf and Elon had a long conversation in the open-air meeting room, and this time he told Elon directly about his plan to retake the Lonely Mountain.

"Lord Elon, Smaug's problem must be dealt with, otherwise I dare not imagine that in the future, when facing Mordor, we will have to be wary of enemies from behind."

Gandalf summed up his remarks with a straight face.

When Essidor severed Sauron's finger and claimed the Ring without throwing it into Mount Doom, Elon knew that darkness would one day return, and he was more worried and vigilant than anyone else.

Therefore, he could not make a completely objective assessment of Gandalf's plan.
