Chapter 21: The Dagger
There really wasn't anything special about this silver-haired claw-like dagger, the only thing special was that he could hurt Maia's spirit.
Gandalf looked at Wang Yonghao in confusion, which explained the origin of the Twin Sacred Trees, and the original light of this Alda was provided by two giant lamps, namely the silver Iruin in the north and the golden Ormo in the south.
But both of these giant lamps were destroyed by Mirkor.
Later, Vera traveled to Valinor, and Yavanna sang to create the Twin Sacred Trees, the Silver Tree Terperian and the Golden Tree Lorelin, which is the origin of the Twin Sacred Trees.
Wang Yonghao knew that these two holy trees were very important, and during the original great journey, the elves were actually divided into two categories, those who had seen the light of the double sacred trees were called light elves, and those who had not seen the light of the double sacred trees were called dark elves.
Gai Milk is the only light elf in this Middle-earth continent who has seen the brilliance of the Twin Sacred Trees, and his husband Calebon is an out-and-out dark elf.
This distinction between elves has nothing to do with anything else, but it is different from the light of the Twin Sacred Trees that have never been seen, not that the dark ones are the villains.
But Wang Yonghao still didn't understand what this dagger had to do with the Twin Sacred Trees, but he still listened patiently to what he said.
"It is said that the leaves of this silver tree, Terperion, are dark, and one side is silver."
Gandalf ended up playing with the dagger in his hand, and his mind seemed to be stuck in a memory, and even his eyes froze.
"When Mirkor and the great spider Ongorian (the ancestor of the corpses) destroyed the Twin Sacred Trees, Valinor was plunged into darkness.
Maia was only able to save the last flower of Terperian (which became the moon) and the last fruit of Rorelin (who became the sun). ”
Wang Yonghao listened to it with relish, he didn't know much about this history, and now he feels quite enjoyable listening to the story.
Gandalf raised the dagger in his hand and said to the distant skylight, "But there is a legend that a handful of leaves of the Silvertree Terperian were taken away by Mirkor. Who would have noticed that? ”
No matter how stupid Wang Yonghao is, he understands that this dagger eight achievements has something to do with the leaves of the silver tree in the double holy tree.
Of course, if he was stunned and told him that this dagger was a leaf that killed him, he wouldn't believe it!
So Wang Yonghao continued to listen to how Gandalf explained this matter, why this dagger could hurt the spirit of Maia, who shared weal and woe with the world.
The souls of the firstborn elves and Maia basically cannot die in the setting of the creation god, and even if the elves die, they will only go to Vinolin for another life.
The souls of elves are destined to end with this world, and will never be destroyed for other reasons, even if they are twisted into orcs, their souls are relatively immortal.
Gandalf looked at the dagger in his hand, which did not seem to be sharp or had the unique brilliance of treasures, and said, "This is the Soul Destroying Dagger mixed with the brilliance of the Silver Tree imitation of the leaves of the Silver Tree. ”
"It's so powerful?"
Wang Yonghao was a little incredulous, but he also felt that it was reasonable, after all, "The Fairy Diamond", which is also part of Tolkien's system, tells the story of various ethnic forces snatching gems containing the light of the double sacred tree.
That story takes place a long time ago, and the core thing is something that contains the light of the Twin Sacred Trees.
Wang Yonghao clearly saw the hesitation in Wang Yonghao's eyes, and Gandalf was a little hesitant to return this very dangerous dagger to Wang Yonghao.
Wang Yonghao saw this very clearly, and at the same time, there were too many things he had made up his own opinions along the way, which meant that he was almost beyond Gandalf's tolerance limit.
Craft a dragon and attack the Elven Palace...... There are too many things to do for Gandalf!
Wang Yonghao wants to make a difference in this world, but it doesn't mean that he wants to be unscrupulous enough to become the next Sauron or even the next Morgoth.
In the case that Wang Yonghao does not want to start a war with the mainstream forces of this world, he still needs Gandalf as this link of communication.
In this case, he didn't need to exchange a dagger that he didn't use at all, so that Gandalf could temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart.
"Let's talk about Morgoth and Sauron instead of this dagger!"
Wang Yonghao deliberately diverted the topic, but he also succeeded in attracting Gandalf's attention, and Gandalf was eager to hear some details about Sauron's death.
Gandalf said, "I'll talk about you and that, and it's also to prevent you from being deceived, after all, Sauron has been a very powerful and evil existence for a long time!" ”
Wang Yonghao saw that Gandalf put away the dagger quietly, and didn't care, just said: "Sauron fixed me through the Ring, and then didn't say any nonsense, he used this dagger to cut off my head, but he didn't fix me at all, and I grabbed the dagger and cut off his head." ”
Gandalf nodded noncommittally when he heard this, because Gandalf couldn't tell what the situation was like now.
He could only tentatively say, "Do you still have Sauron's body?" ”
Wang Yonghao put away this body in order to use it against Gandalf, and he knew that he needed this body as evidence for his rhetoric.
Sauron's previous appearance was only in the form of an armor on the outside of the energy body, just like Wang Yonghao's latest image in the Terra world, but this time Wang Wenhao made it clear that he cut off his head and left a corpse.
This unusual situation was enough to attract Gandalf's attention, because even if Sauron was defeated in the past, even if he was "killed", it was just a pile of armor in pieces!
This time it may be really dead, because there is actually a corpse left!
But when he saw the corpse and looked up at Wang Yonghao who was standing in place, Gandalf was a little confused.
"How so?"
The corpse on the ground was almost indistinguishable from Wang Yonghao's, which was by no means what Gandalf had in mind that Sauron should be.
Wang Yonghao explained: "Because I used the [Supreme Ring] trap to imprison his Maia Spirit, he can only look like me for the time being, and I don't know where he got this skin." ”
This explanation can barely be said to be in the past, after all, Maia itself has no fixed form, and what kind of body she enters is what it looks like.
The reason why Sauron had always looked like an armored man was because he had to be in a state of battle, as if he had been looking for a good-looking man called a prophet when he had been among the elves.
Gandalf crouched down and scrutinized the corpse's breath, but in a matter of moments he could be sure that the corpse didn't feel the slightest connection to any of the Maian spirits.
There are only two possibilities for this scenario: first, it did not carry any Maian spirits; Second, the spirit of Maia is really dead!
Gandalf automatically ignored the first possibility, because he couldn't imagine that this body was originally Wang Yonghao's, and he Wang Yonghao was really not Maia!
"Sauron is really dead!" Gandalf's expression was mixed with disbelief, but he felt relieved both inside and out.
