Empress Galadriel's gaze was a test, and as the strongest psychic in the world, she made her desire visible to everyone on the expedition.

――If you could make your wish come true, what would you choose to do?

It is a test to test their hearts and beliefs to see if they can grasp their desires.

Basically, everyone on the expedition went through the same experience, and everyone was given two choices, one was to go through the path in the darkness in front of them, and the other was the dream they desperately wanted. As long as they abandon the dark path in front of them and let others resist Sauron, they can gain everything in that sweet dream.

And except for the two people, all the rest of them went through this test and made their own choices, one of the two was the rightful Xiao Lan, his mind was not so easily penetrated, and the other was Zhang Xiaoxue, who was the same prophet as Galadriel, and the gray fog around this girl made it impossible for her to directly peek into her heart. But if it wasn't necessary, she wasn't willing to forcibly invade the closed minds of others, and the girl's expression didn't seem flawed, and the empress finally freed them from her almost unbearable gaze.

"Don't worry!" "Tonight you will sit back and relax and recharge your energy for the onboard, and I will give you a precious gift that is better than that a mortal king can give," she said......

Then she sighed softly, and the group suddenly felt very tired, and although they didn't say a word, the eye contact just now seemed like a long interrogation.

And at the same time that the empress gently said this decision. Xiao Lan immediately heard a whisper that only he could hear, "...... Come with me and I will fulfill my promises. And you also need to watch your own future once. ”

The demon was stunned, turned back to Flora and made a reassuring expression, and then followed Galadriel to Callas. On the southern slope of Galaton, through a green fence into a secluded garden, where no trees grow, open directly under the sky. The stars of the night have risen and shone on the forests of the west. The Empress who came here walked up a series of stairs. Come to the deep green valley with a babbling stream that flows from a fountain outside the garden. Next to it, there is a pedestal carved like a small tree. There was a silver basin on it, wide and shallow, and next to it was another silver jug.

Under the quiet gaze of Xiao Lan, who had stopped on the side, Galadriel used the spring water in the stream to fill the silver basin. Blew on it. When the ripples on the surface of the water have stopped. She spoke.

"This is Galadriel's Mirror, and I'm bringing you here to show you this mirror." The valley under the stars suddenly became quite dark, and the figure of the elven woman appeared tall and pale, "I can let people see in the mirror what I let them see, but this mirror can also show the unexpected, and if you let the mirror look for anything on its own, I don't know what the result will be, because what it shows is the past, the present." and what the future may look like...... Do you want to check it out now? ”

Xiao Lan didn't answer immediately, but summoned a mirror as well.

"My mirror. It can show real dreams, and thus deduce a future that is not real - that is, a future that may happen. Letting the Nightmare Mirror hovering in front of him, the Majin pursed his lips and said, "So let's give me the knowledge I want first, it's my greatest wish at the moment, it will greatly affect the future I can see, and I don't plan to waste the opportunity to see the real future on what I already know." ”

"As you wish, anxious man......" Galadriel smiled faintly, then nodded slowly, "Now that you've proven yourself to resist the temptation of the Ring, I'll certainly fulfill my promise to give you the knowledge you need." ”

The empress said softly, then stretched out her white fingers and gently rubbed them on her temples for a while, and then just like the wizard in the "Harry Potter" movie when he used the meditation basin to take out the memory substance, the empress's removed finger brought up a bright silver band of light, like an invisible gaseous state and like a stable fluid, and in Xiao Lan's slight surprise, the empress gently put this materialized memory into the nightmare mirror suspended in front of him.

"Elon told me that your mirror allows you to go back to memory, which gives you almost unlimited time to repeat an experience, and that what others have summarized doesn't mean much to you, and this method may be the best way to learn." Galadriel said softly, and the silver substance in the Nightmare Mirror rippled like the wind blowing across the water, and quickly rotated until it became transparent, reflecting a visual image: many handsome elves stood in a fine room, and an equally handsome young man introduced his knowledge and techniques, and then they began to forge together......

"Is this how Sauron tricked the elves into creating the Ring?" Xiao Lan asked in surprise.

"Yes, but it's more than that." The Empress nodded, and then continued, "There is also the process of forging the Elven Three Rings by the best craftsman of the Noldor Clan, Celebrim, and the forging process of many divine weapons in the First Age, if you can control time in the mirror, it may not be impossible for you to master these techniques that are equivalent to loss, and let them be able to reproduce them." ”

"Of course that's excellent, now let me look in the mirror." Xiao Lan said with a slightly wry smile, he took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the urge to immediately devote himself to these memories.

To solve such a problem, the key now is to see the future...... The real future.

"You can watch whatever you want, but remember: don't touch that water!" The empress emphasized this for a special time, Xiao Lan nodded and walked to the side of the pedestal, looking down at the basin.

The water looked very clear and dark, and the stars in the sky were reflected in it, but soon the stars began to fade, as if a dark veil had been lifted, and the things on it gradually disappeared, became gray, and then became clear again, and then he immediately saw a scene beyond his expectations: a forest that was originally full of life and greenery, and there were constantly ancient trees awakening into huge tree people, these ancient beings had incomparably powerful power, and the bow and arrow were like mosquito bites to them, Tough bark requires a very heavy axe to split, but whoever cuts an axe at a tree man will never have a chance to cut a second blow, a single punch of the tree man can pierce through the hardest steel, and they will also see them pick up boulders from the ground and throw them out like catapults, but their enemies are countless orcs, they carry sharp axes, machetes, and flaming flames, and they are ready to use the nemesis of the trees to turn the mighty tree people into flaming torches one by one......

Xiao Lan was silent, this was obviously the situation in the Fagong Forest, but I don't know if it happened in the future or in the past, and who made Saruman take the initiative to attack the Treants?

Before he could get the results, the scene changed again, and this time he saw a somewhat familiar creature: over two meters tall and extremely strong, with a heavily puffy forehead that looked as if it was covered with a thick layer of lumpy sarcoma, causing its eyes to sink deep into it, barely leaving a tiny visual gap. The skin of its mouth is severely folded, which makes its unusually thick lips never close, and it is always baring a mouthful of jagged and rugged fangs. At first glance, its head resembles a huge shriveled and wrinkled persimmon, ugly and disgusting. It had strong, aggressive limbs, and several whip-like tentacles stretched behind it, covered with small, dense sharp spines with counterblades, the tips of which were curled up. Always maintain a certain distance from the ground, like the letter in the mouth of a poisonous snake, soft, sensitive, and deadly! He was dressed in heavy armor made of steel plates nearly two centimeters thick, and held an equally heavy and huge weapon in his hand. And the most important thing is that this thing is not a single one, but a thousand that you can't really see at a glance!

Tracker ...... The by-product of the failure of the evolution of the T virus in Resident Evil, the experimental product of the Nemesis Project, these things that Xiao Lan saw were obviously modified with strong orcs as the body, and they were almost perfect combat weapons, but how could these things appear in this world?

The picture didn't end there, suddenly everything stopped, and then a large series of scenes appeared, and the demon subconsciously knew that this was part of the great history he was involved in. When the fog cleared, he saw something he had never seen before, but immediately knew what it was: it was Mordor's Doomsday Volcano. The poisonous air was filled with blood-red hot sand, the smoke of volcanic ash obscured the entire sky, countless orcs and other depraved creatures were shrouded in evil scarlet light, fearless of death, holding weapons and baring their fangs to launch a fearless charge, and on this battlefield as their enemies were quite embarrassed elves and humans, as well as aliens that he would never mistake, and in the center of this battlefield was a tall figure wearing black hideous armor, and that thick finger wore a golden ring- Sauron? After all, he didn't see the result, and the picture faded away, and finally disappeared.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but sigh and prepared to turn around and leave.

But suddenly, the image in the mirror became distorted, as if a time and space tunnel had been crossed in an instant.

He stared at the blue sky that seemed to be nothing special in amazement, but then an incomparably familiar pitch-black blade slashed through the mirror, and the sky, or the more essential world, began to be filled with shattering rifts, constantly expanding and cracking until everything was completely reduced to the eternal nothingness of absolute darkness...... (To be continued......)
