Chapter 586: Elven Capital, King Elon, and ...... queen
To the east of the Endless Sea, there is the most tranquil sanctuary in the world, long enough to sustain the world until the world is completely subjugated, the valley of the Imlaris River in the Misty Mountains, but it is usually called by another name...... Rivendell.
King Elon established this elven home in the Second Age, and he possessed the Ring of Heaven, one of the three rings of the elves: Via, which protected it from evil invasions, and preserved the good memories of ancient times, maintaining the beautiful scenery of the territory The passage of time seems to have stopped, and the erosion of time has also been restrained, like a blessed fairyland, where live the elven nobles who were exiled to Middle-earth in the great turmoil of the ancient Noldor tribe, and the descendants of human heroes, the fallen kings of Arnor, all of whom are protected by King Elron, It's the safest stronghold in the entire Middle-earth continent.
When the sun rose in the east and the golden light of the morning sun gilded the earth with a layer of brilliance, Xiao Lan and Flora left the conquered Moria, spread their wings and flew into the sky and headed straight for the elven capital.
But with the exception of Gandalf, who was in suspended animation, none of the other acquaintances followed or were brought along.
Although Moriath has been occupied by the alien legion, there are still many unexplored places in it, and there are still lost treasures hidden in unknown corners, Xiao Lan does not have that world to explore, it does not mean that he has given up this plan, as the empress, Kira was left to lead the legion here, supervise the forging process of the orc undead craftsman, and at the same time use her spiritual network to manipulate the aliens to explore the details of the entire mine, Xiao Lan is expected to find many weapons, armor, and records left by the dwarves within a month of returning, It's also possible to find hidden inscription workshops and Mithril refining rooms.
As for Pandora. She has exposed a lot of flaws in the battle of the fire demon, and she is still in the dream world for the time being, and if she can't solve the problem of carrying weapons, she can only keep it in this world.
And the road to the elven capital of Rivendell was much easier than finding the entrance to Moria.
Finding the last refuge on the west side of the mountain range is not as easy as you might think. It was very difficult, at least on the ground, for there seemed to be no trees, valleys, or hills to guide the traveler in the direction, only a large slope rising gently in conjunction with the nearest mountain, and the surrounding land was desolate and uninhabited, except for the gray and brown air of decay, surrounded by weak greenery, and moss growing in places with a meager amount of moisture. Rivendell could be hidden anywhere between here and the mountains.
But if you look down from the air like Xiao Lan and the others, it is not difficult to find a river valley that retains its ancient beauty - as long as you find the river that flows through it, the rest is simple.
In fact, this estimate is still a bit underestimated. As they flew along the way, they found many hidden valleys, which were not only narrow, but also very steep, and the steep terrain could not be climbed on foot. There is also a deep ditch with a very deep flow of water. Dense woods and many seemingly calm and unwavered, lush plains with flowers and trees, but in fact they hide a murderous moor......
These scenes made the two of them quite glad that they were able to fly, because it would take at least ten times longer to advance on the ground.
And when the sun rises overhead and is close to noon, the end of the journey can be seen in the distance.
“…… It's finally here! Xiao Lan, who had slowed down her flight, shouted softly, and Flora, who was not far away, immediately leaned over and looked down from the sky beside him.
They saw a valley in the distance, and they could hear the sound of flowing water jumping on the rocky riverbed. The air is filled with the scent of trees, and there are warm lights in the valley on the other side of the river.
"Rivendell. Elven Capital......" The angel murmured softly, the woman had little resistance to beautiful things, but she did not lose her due judgment because of this, "It seems rude to fly in directly, we should go down and enter on foot, right?" ”
"Of course, but it's not just a matter of politeness." Xiao Lan nodded, and then added, "Rivendell is protected by King Elron's Heavenly Ring, and neither Sauron's power nor the monsters under his command can enter it, we should not be considered evil but also strangers, but if we break in rashly, we may encounter something." The Ring of Heaven is an elven ring of the imperial envoy's atmosphere, although it has not been particularly shown in the movie, but it is very likely to be able to control local wind, rain, thunder and lightning and other celestial phenomena, I don't want to be struck by thunder as soon as I enter and then be greeted by a rain of arrows......"
As he spoke, he had already landed first, and Flora also showed a sudden realization on her face after staying for a while, and patted her chest with some fear while leaning over to catch up, "So you can't underestimate it at any time?" Whew, it turns out that if you don't talk politely, you will die. ”
They landed gently to the ground, stepped onto the winding path, and entered the secret Rivendell Valley in awe.
This is a quiet elf capital in the canyon, the whole city is not too big, but it is a city that is almost indescribably beautiful, it has the grace and elegance of the elves, the whole city is built against the same wall of the mountain, the city is full of emerald green trees, and there are many small waterfalls next to the city, this is a beautiful city like a fairyland, the first feeling of anyone who comes here, is absolutely sighing, just for the beauty of the sigh.
And as they gradually descended to the open meadow at the edge of the river, a young elf with a hazy glow from the mountain came to them, and bowed to the two who had come to the elven capital.
"Welcome to the valley!" The elf's gaze fell on Gandalf who Xiao Lan was holding in his hand, and with a hint of shock on his face, he said with a slight heaviness, "King Elon knows of your arrival, as well as Mislanda (the elven word for Gandalf's name)...... Please come with me. ”
Xiao Lan and Flora both nodded, and the two who knew the situation didn't say anything, just quietly followed behind the young elf.
Along the way, the elves watched with sadness and amazement, and they passed through several corridors, over many stairs, and finally came to a highland garden by the steep slope of the river. At this moment, it is already late autumn, but it is still quite warm here, the sound of the stream rushing and the waterfall is very noisy, and the air is filled with the fragrance of trees and flowers, as if the garden of Ailong is still in the beauty of midsummer, and in this middle of this, Xiao Lan has seen the expected King Ailong-
His face seems to be unaffected by the years, neither old nor young, but it bears many traces of joy and sorrow. His hair was as dark as the shadow before dawn, and he had a small silver crown over it. His eyes were as gray as a clear evening, and there was a faint light like a star. On the outside, he seems to be a wise king who has been baptized by countless years, but he exudes a spirit like a battle-hardened warrior. He is the master of Rivendell, the best of the elves and humans.
But in addition to that, there was an uninvited guest.
It was a peerless beauty with amazing beauty, exuding a queen-like noble temperament all over her body, a white robe without any decoration like the bright moonlight sprinkled in the night sky, her hair without any traces of wind and frost was dotted with silver dark gold, and her white jade arms and face were even more white and flawless, and she could be broken by blowing. Her eyes were as bright as the stars, as clear as a cloudless night. The beautiful eyes are full of wisdom and deep meaning, as sharp and shining as the tip of a gun in a moonlit night, which contains deep memories and can directly see through people's hearts.
"Hail to you, Empress Galadriel......"
Before recognizing this birth in the first era of creation, witnessing all the changes in Middle-earth since the creation of the world, the oldest, noblest and most powerful elf in Middle-earth, who is also the owner of the Water Ring, Xiao Lan bowed with Flora on the side from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time there was a violent wave in her heart.
- The Empress actually left Roslorraine?
"I can see the shadows in the water, fate tells me I have to come here, but I didn't leave Rorian, what you see is my water apparition...... Maia, who is new to Middle-earth, you seem to know a lot of things already? ”
Xiao Lan originally trusted his soul incomparably, but the moment he heard this voice directly in his head, his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
This was undoubtedly the strongest psychic ability he had ever seen, not to mention that it could directly penetrate the whispers of his heart, at least the "phantom" didn't see any flaws until she admitted it, and even if the Water Ring played a key role in it, it would definitely not be able to erase her own strength.
It is said that people are old and refined, seventy ancient times are rare, 100 years old can be called immortals, myths and legends have more spiritual aura to become immortals, every 500 years to suffer a harm, harm from their own and their own unavoidable, need to cross the three disasters for a total of 1,500 years, into the big Luo Jin Immortal can really live forever, usually a thousand years old demon can already deter one side. And in Middle-earth, King Elron, who was born in the First Age, is more than 6,000 years old, and the empress Galadriel, who was born before the creation of the world, is more than 2,000 years older than him, and this long time even the most rubbish mentally retarded can cultivate several skills to at least proficient, not to mention the already amazingly gifted elves, even ordinary elves are all proficient in swordsmanship, archery, horsemanship, medicine, and art, although they may not be able to break through to the extreme, but "all-rounder" is already extremely terrifying, In this kind of world, anyone can underestimate anyone, but you can't underestimate the guy who has lived for a long time.
But there is no need to grovel in awe.
I didn't think that the other party would directly drill into the secrets in his heart, unlike the words of the heart, which could lead to great danger, and the empress was not the real deity here, Xiao Lan, who had calmed down, quickly sorted out her thoughts, and then slowly opened her mouth with an elegant and plain posture like an elf.
"As You Think, My Lady ......" (To be continued......)
