In the distant past, at the end of the Second Age more than 3,000 years ago, when the free lands of Middle-earth felt the power of the Supreme Ring created by Sauron, and the world was shrouded in the dark shadow of Mordor, humans and elves formed a final alliance against the evil legions of Mordor.

The supreme king of the Dendan, Elendil.

Supreme King of the Noldor, Gilgalad.

The two armies that formed the alliance gathered at Rivendell, and it is said that the army gathered in Rivendell had not seen such a formation since Vera called in the Battle of Fury to defeat Angolom.

The Allies' army crossed the Misty Mountains across Middle-earth, along the Anduin River, and finally reached the plains of Dagora in front of the gates of Mordor. On that day, except for the elves, all who followed Gilgalad, all the breathing creatures of the earth, including birds and beasts, chose their own masters, or joined the free alliance of light, or joined the fallen side of darkness, and confronted each other. The few dwarves who participated in the war were also on both sides, but the descendants of Turin who lived in Moriaa joined the anti-Sauron faction.

Fighting for freedom in Middle-earth at the treacherous Mount Doom, the Coalition besieged Balado for seven years, and even Sauron had to meet it himself.

Under the power of the One Ring, Elendil, King of the North, and Gilgalad, King of the Elves, were both killed, but Sauron was also defeated. Elendil's son, Essidor, picked up a fragment of Nahir's sword and carelessly cut off the finger on which he wore the One Ring. The Dark Lord's body has since disappeared, and the spirit body has not been able to gather for thousands of years.

The righteous man won the final victory. However, the alliance between humans and elves was dissolved, and Essidor was seduced by the One Ring to destroy it instead of destroying it, but keeping it as a family heirloom, and was eventually betrayed by him and died on the way back to Gondor. The Noldor elves stationed in Middle-earth were unable to recover their previous strength after this battle, and the area with the most casualties in this battle was so angry that it became a swamp of death that later made people hear, and countless undead who died in pain and could not be relieved were entangled there, and as long as anyone fell into it, they would be taken away by the undead to join them.

But this is not the only land of the dead.

- In the valley of Eriech, there is another group of forsaken.

The King of the Mountain swore allegiance to the king at the time of Gondor's creation, but. When Sauron rises again, evil spreads, and Gondor needs them most. But they fled and disappeared into the dark depths of the mountain, and Essidor cursed them: You will never have rest until the first vow is fulfilled! So they were forgotten by the world. Isolated from the world under the curse of the King of Gondor. The dead who have turned into unresting people still wander around in the mountains, the wine has become tasteless in their mouths, the food has turned to dust in their mouths, they are so thirsty that they can't quench their thirst, they are so hungry that they can't die but they can't die, and all the joy and pain in the world can no longer be felt......

“…… But as warriors who were qualified to fight with Essidor and who were supposed to make a name for themselves on the battlefields of antiquity, they were definitely the most powerful army in the world. That's where we come in. When Flora and the other three rode away at dawn and stepped together into the shadows of the Mountain of the Dead, which the sun could not dispel. Aragorn whispered the story of the valley.

Flora had known that the Lord of the Rings novels had been mentioned in detail, but the words could not be true history anyway, so she listened quietly to the whispers of the heir to the throne of Gondor, and the following narration of the elves who also knew everything.

"They are indeed a formidable army now, but there is only one man who can summon them from the gray twilight." In a solemn atmosphere of terror, Legolas whispered, "The heir to the forsaken who swore allegiance to their master is you...... Aragorn, son of Essidor and master of the sacred sword of Elendil. ”

Aragorn didn't speak, he was proud of his ancestors, but he didn't want that to be his everything.

And after walking in the shadows for a while, passing through many terrifying-looking rocks, they finally came to a rock wall, and the dark door was deep in the rock wall, glaring at everyone like an opening in the night. The huge arches were carved with many vague symbols, and the aura of fear flowed from them like a gray mist.

"I feel like my blood is freezing!" The others were silent, Mr. Kim said.

They stopped at the door, and everyone shuddered, and then Legolas read out the ancient language engraved on the door, "The road ahead is sealed, and the undead cast a net of heaven and earth......"

And as if his voice had awakened something, suddenly a dark wind rose from the darkness.

The four of them couldn't help but shudder, they were not frightened by such a little formation, but no horse could endure this breath, and the three horses all neighed out of fear, sweating and trembling under the pressure that could not be seen by the naked eye, trying to break free from their master and escape from the forbidden place of the living.

"We have to go in, and so do the horses!" "If we can get through this darkness, we will have a long way to go before we reach our destination," Aragon said. Every minute and second we wasted will make Sauron move faster to victory, follow me! ”

Under the control of his strong willpower, his war horse quickly calmed down, and walked into the door as fearlessly as his master; Legolas covered his horse's eyes and sang softly songs that could not be understood by human ears, convincing it to reluctantly go in, and the elves to follow him; Flora gently brushed the ring of words on her finger, and the whisper of magic calmed the warhorse, and then she followed her with a faint white light, leaving only the lone dwarf Golden Thunderbolt outside the door.

His knees trembled, and he was extremely angry at his reaction.

"Nothing like this has ever happened!" He said, "The elves are willing to go underground, and the dwarves don't dare?" ”

As soon as he had said that, he rushed in, but he felt that his feet were as heavy as lead, and as soon as he walked in, even he was covered in overwhelming darkness. This is extremely weird and unusual! As the son of Groyin, Jin Li has explored countless underground passages, but he has never felt like this.

But fortunately, this is not the absolute darkness of the invisible object, the holy sword that Flora holds cautiously in her hand is simply a searchlight, and the golden bolt staggered to follow the Aragorn in front of them, just in time to hear the female knight whispering to herself, "I have killed many undead in the past, and I have also reached areas eroded by the breath of death, but this place gives me more than just ominous...... What we have to face may not be so simple. ”

The others listened silently to her advice, and then cautiously groped their way through the cavern.

There was no force or anything to stop them from moving forward, and as time passed imperceptibly, the road ahead began to become very wide, and the chilling aura drifted around, and the mist that covered the ground turned into whispering figures, and the never-ending murmuring was heard from all directions, and then Flora's face changed.

"Didn't you hear?" She asked.

No one answered, and Aragorn, who had walked in front of her, looked as usual, and she turned to look at the dwarf behind her, who was looking a little frightened, but this time she saw nothing.

"Golden Bolt!" The knight exclaimed, she turned her head to look to the other side, and then exclaimed again, "Leglas! ”

The elf beside her disappeared at some point, and when her pupils shrunk and she turned around, Aragorn, who had been walking in front of her, disappeared without a trace...... She was lost.

But after a brief moment of consternation, she quickly calmed down.

She should have been caught in some kind of psychic illusion, and time should be on her way to step into this "realm" of death, but she didn't need to worry that she would be trapped here forever: since this realm was not completely cut off from reality, then in the worst-case scenario, she would be able to open a passage by freeing the holy sword in her hand.

And since it is a test and not a dead end, there is definitely a way to pass it...... (To be continued......)
