Wu Chen first went to the dwarven player's forge workshop and ordered a spare beast saddle for the team with python skin. He also casually inquired about the information of Thrandil. It seems that the closest relationship with the elven king of the dark jungle is the tavern in Long Lake Town.

Because the wine of the Elven King is transported from here to the Dark Forest. When Thorin first meets Bard the Marksman by the river, Bard is actually waiting for an empty wine barrel floating down the river from the Elven King's Hall. It's just that I didn't expect that there were dwarves in the barrel.

So Wu Chen and the others rushed to Changhu Town non-stop.

The half-elf docked the boat outside the sluice, and Wu Chen stepped on the player's temporary path along the deck of the sailing ship and walked into Changhu Town.

There is also a charge for pedestrians to enter. Wu Chen didn't bother to bother with them, and motioned to Ophelia to pay the fee for the four of them.

The tavern is easy to find, but it's too difficult to walk along the way. There are too many pedestrians. And a lot of them are players, and many more are Middle-earth mercenaries hired by players. Wu Chen also saw the figure of the powerful Northland Dengdan Ranger.

Similarly, the Demon Lord Sauron must also have gathered a large number of dark players.

When is the tavern full, and players are still called players if they don't club?

Although 0326 is like thunder, not many people have really seen Wu Chen. Coupled with the appearance deliberately camouflaged by the colony, Wu Chen, who was mixed in the crowd, was not conspicuous. And the three female companions were also covered by a long cloak, which did not cause unnecessary trouble.

Walk to the bar. Wu Chen ordered a pint (about 568 ml) of ale for everyone. Occupy a corner. Savor it.

After waiting for three cups, Wu Chen finally asked: "Boss, I heard that you are very familiar with the elves of the dark forest. ”

"It depends on what you want to know." The boss is really a human spirit.

Wu Chen quietly pressed a gold coin and pushed it in front of the boss with his fingertips.

The boss quietly carried a rag into his palm, and his smile suddenly became much warmer: "What do you need?" A pass to the jungle, or an audience to meet the Elven King? ”

"I want to meet the Elven King." Wu Chen lowered his voice.

"Everyone wants to see the Elf King...... the boss glanced at Wu Chen meaningfully, motioned him to wait, turned around and greeted the drinkers on the other side. Busy. It wasn't until he was drunk and asleep that everyone was slightly drunk, and the boss returned to Wu Chen's side.

"Outlander, I have a tricky matter, and if you can help me solve it, I think the Elf King will be happy to see you."

"Tell me about it." Wu Chen is very, very familiar with the conversation that began in this way.

This is a sign of an NPC rough hidden quest wow!

"As you can see, the wine that the Elven King buys is not locally produced. Instead, it was transported from all over Middle-earth, and finally gathered in Changhu Town, and then I sent people to send it to the Elven King's Palace. One of the best wines of the Elf King. It was sent by a relative from the south. It was the city near the easternmost estuary of the Rushing River: Dorwinion. There is a river bend there, which is the best grape producing area in Middle-earth. The best wines produced, the wines used at the royal banquets in Thrandil, are obtained from there. ”

"Dowinian......" Wu Chen sighed. Before you know it, your worldview has expanded again......

"That's right, Dowinian." The tavern owner stared at Wu Chen's face with a little hope, "How about it, stranger, if you are willing to run for me, I will be more than happy to knock on the door of the Elf King's hall for you." ”

"Boss, how many people have you sent this task to?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

"To be honest, there were a few, but they all deservedly refused. They would rather huddle around the town all day with nothing to do than let Lone Mountain out of sight. The tavern owner said meaningfully.

"Understood." Everyone is coming for the main story, but they have to do an inconsequential side line, and they have to go to the Lune Inland Sea in the east, which is obviously not what the players want.

"So, would you like to make a trip for me?"

Wu Chen smiled and nodded, "No problem." ”

Neither in the novel nor in the movie, there are not many depictions of the Rune, and there are only glimpses in the Lord of the Rings films. Second only to the Lord of the Rings 1 opening, the last High King of Middle-earth, Jill? Two seconds of Galad flashed to the elf receiving Serdan, the shipbuilder in the middle of the Elven Three Rings.

Remember the humans Frodo and Sam saw when they passed by the Black Gate in Lord of the Rings 2, led by Gollum? Sam accidentally rolled down the hill, and the two spearmen walked over to check. Although wearing a helmet, the exposed eyes and nostrils clearly show that they are human and not ugly orcs.

Those were the Easterlings, who lived east of Mordor (usually called Charioteers, or 'Orientals').

Rhun means East in Sinda. The inhabitants of this area are collectively referred to as "Orientals" and include a variety of ethnic groups. The inhabitants of the region were in constant conflict with the kingdoms of Gondor and Rome (allies of Gondor and now extinct ones), and several of the kings of Gondor were killed by the Runians throughout history.

Rune is located at the far northeast pole of Gondor, on the eastern edge of the map on the common Middle-earth map. But in fact, since the Lord of the Rings story only takes place in the northwest corner of Middle-earth, and according to the author, there is still a vast area east of Middle-earth, so Rune is actually in the center of Middle-earth.

Wu Chen's destination is Dorwinion, on the western shore of the Luen Inland Sea, a rich land that produces the best wines in Middle-earth.

The Rune had fought with their ancestors in the Rohan before. During the Holy War of the Ring, they joined Sauron's dark army as the embodiment of their dragon god, and joined the orcs of Gondaba in attacking the elves, dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, and the Glacier Valley in the dark forests of northern Middle-earth. Of course, in the end, there was no good result due to the fall of Sauron.

But it is undeniable that the strength of the Rune is very strong, and the third-line battle in the Holy War of the Ring has also defeated the northern humans and dwarves.

During the Holy War of the Ring, the result of the Northern Battlefield, which is not depicted in the film, was the Northern Legion of Rune at the cost of 10,000 casualties. Annihilate the main forces of the river valley and the dwarves of the lonely mountain. Bland, King of the Valley (grandson of Bard the Marksman), Dane, the dwarf king of the mountain? Iron Foot II was killed. The Dark Forest, Lorian, Rivendell, and Iliard Free Folk are fully mobilized, and Mordor's stronghold in the southern Dark Forest, Dorgothor Magic Castle, once again attacks Rorian, and the battle is deadlocked.

But at this time, there is no obstacle between Dolgodo and the Northern Army of Rune, if Sauron does not defeat in advance, it is estimated that in a month at most, the Dark Forest will face Mordor and the Lune coalition army, numbering more than 40,000.

The result. The Dark Jungle will eventually fall, and the Northern Army of Rune will cross the Antuin River and attack Rohan. Then he fought with the Mordor army attacking Gondor from the north and south, completely destroying the human kingdom. There were many ripple effects, such as the fact that Rohan's 6,000 cavalry would not be able to rush to the aid of Gondor in order to protect themselves, and would probably be wiped out in a head-on collision with Rune's heavy dragoons; Without Rohan's help, the fall of Gondor will take place before Aragorn recruits an army of the undead, followed by the Orcs slaughtering the city......

The Lune faction has a strong shadow of the nomadic dynasties of Central Asia. Scales and heavy cavalry, a tribal social system, and an army with nomadic archers as the main body. Somewhat similar to a combination of Persia and Mongolia. Its leader, also known as the "Khan", also had a standing army and large cities. The Lune army has a wide range of weapons, including the lightly armed and rushing Veria Rangers (cavalry archers), the heavily armored Lune Dragoons (noble knights), as well as excellent tribal heavy infantry and hoplite archers. And slavery.

Although it was Sauron's vassal state, the owner of the tavern in Changhu Town still got a document for Wu Chen to pass unimpeded.

That's the beauty of business.

Clearly, at the merchant level, the town of Long Lake and the Iron Hills maintained a thriving trade with Dorwinian thanks to the easy passage of the Rushing River and the Red Water River.

The task that Wu Chen accepted was very general.

Although the tavern owner only asked him to go to Dowynian to run errands, Wu Chen knew that he could only complete the task by transporting the best wine from Middle-earth back to Longlake Town.

Like her name, the River Rushing flows eastward and flows into the Inland Sea of Lune.

This journey down the river looks simpler than the journey up the river to the town of Long Lake. It was still the half-elf ship, carrying Wu Chen and the others from Changhu Town again. The only difference was that in the dense bushes on the shore, five demon wolves were following closely.

After the river passes through the dark and dense forest mountains, there is no obstruction.

The boat was very fast, although it was almost 'a day to return to Winyon in a thousand miles', but it only took two days to reach the intersection of the Hongshui River and the Rushing River. These two rivers, one originating in the Lonely Mountains and the other in the Iron Hills, meandered and converged into a roaring river in Eastern Rome that eventually emptied into the Inland Sea of Lune.

On the map of Middle-earth in the Three Eras, the Luan Inland Sea, which looks very eastward, is actually a frontier land that is too westward in the eyes of the Luan people. As mentioned earlier, the east, farther east than the Lune Inland Sea, is the center of Middle-earth.

On the eastern coast of the Inland Sea of Lune, there is a vast forest, which should be an important stronghold of the Avari Elves.

The three major elves of the elves accepted the advice of the gods and moved west across the sea to the blessed land of Amen, but there were still many elves who refused to move west, so people called the Eldar elves who moved west across the sea, and those who refused to move west were called the Avari elves.

The elves who remain in Dowinian are the Avari Elves.

When they entered the mouth of the Lune Inland Sea, the number of ships began to increase. And most of them are beautiful and long elven ships. Wu Chen even felt that the entire Luen Inland Sea was the world of elves. On the side of Rune is a vast forest, and Dorwinian is blocked from the west coast by great rivers and inland seas. The dragoons of the Rune were beyond the reach of the whip.

Of course, it is said that the secret agreement between the elven patriarch and the Khan of Lune was also an important basis for ensuring peace in Dowinion.

As for the content of the agreement, what kind of price the elf paid was not something that Wu Chen could understand.

With the identification certificate issued by Changhu Town, Wu Chen easily passed the inspection of the patrol boat and sailed into the bustling Dowinnian Harbor. (To be continued......)
