Chapter 689
Seeing that Xia Dong really walked to the side and sat down leisurely against the tree, everyone finally reacted.
Lygoras couldn't help but step forward and pick up the broken arrow from the ground, but even after carefully studying it for a long time, the elven prince was still silent with a complicated expression.
Beside him, the dwarf Jin Li grabbed his long thick hair vigorously, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really a magical ability, and I don't know if they still accept apprentices?" I also want to be a mage, I have always been a smart person in the clan, and I should be able to become a powerful mage too. ”
Gandalf, on the other hand, looked at Xia Dong with a complicated gaze, then turned his head and smiled at the elven leader, "I'm sorry, Dong and his partner just had a fierce battle with the evil fire demon in Moria, and they probably haven't completely calmed down yet. ”
"Firefiend?" The elven leader suddenly exclaimed.
As an ancient race with a long heritage, he certainly knew what a terrifying demon it was, having defeated the leaders of the three High Elves and even sacked the hidden kingdom of Gondolin.
"Yes, it's the Fire Demon, but it's been wiped out by Master Chapfa."
Holding his head high, Jin Li took the words with a proud expression, and it was a pleasure to be able to see the self-proclaimed elegant, high-flying elf with such a surprised look.
At this moment, Xia Dong next to him suddenly frowned.
After successfully achieving his intimidating intentions, he had been closing his eyes and listening to the conversation of the crowd all the time.
But just now, vaguely, he seemed to sense a looming spiritual power, and although the amount of power lingering around him was faint and ethereal, it was condensed and not dispersed, as if it was from someone's prying eyes.
Another wizard?
Subconsciously, this thought flashed through Xia Dong's heart.
Immediately, he quietly set his eyes on Gandalf, and sure enough, the other party's face seemed to be a little strange, it should have also found the comer, or the comer had already greeted him.
Pretending to be unaware and continuing to lean against the big tree, Xia Dong's mind moved, and the stealth guard had risen into the sky, exploring the place where the spiritual power came from, but he kept flying far away, not to mention seeing the wizard, not even seeing a single figure.
In other words: either they are strong and can snoop at great distances, or they have special stealth methods.
"Come with me, the queen wants to see you."
Soon after the spiritual power appeared, the stubborn elven leader's attitude suddenly changed, and after dropping a word, he turned around and led the way.
So the Fellows of the Ring followed the spirits on their journey overnight, from night to early morning, from early morning to noon, and finally to dusk.
Carasgalaton, the so-called land of elves, has finally appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at this dense forest composed of extremely tall trees not so much a city, Xia Dong suddenly didn't know how to describe it.
These elves are really ...... Pristine.
"Everyone, welcome to the main city of the Elves, the reign of the Elven Emperor Kellenpeng and the Queen of Light, Galadriel."
With a look of excitement and pride, the elven leader led everyone into this dense forest.
After Xia Dong came in, he found that their life was completely dependent on those tall trees, and these elves would not only hollow out the trees as rooms, but also build pavilions and attics on the branches and trees.
And although there don't seem to be many buildings here, it is still gorgeous and unusual under the meticulous craftsmanship of the elves.
Especially with those unknown gems with a faint white light, the whole environment is even more holy and quiet, and even makes people feel ashamed of themselves, as if their own steps are a kind of blasphemy.
In this state of mind, the crowd followed the delicate staircase that winded up the outside of the tree, higher and higher, until they reached a hollow circular hall with red leaves on the floor.
Standing on a protruding platform, facing the steps that stretched from high to low in front of them, they were waiting to be received.
Suddenly, a bright, warm, but unblinding white light appeared.
In this light, two figures slowly walked towards everyone, on the right was an elven man, who should be the elven emperor, and on the left holding his hand was a woman with an extremely delicate appearance, probably the queen of light.
Unlike the other members' intoxicated indulgences, after Xia Dong saw her appearance clearly, in addition to the fleeting amazement, he was more vigilant.
After all, he had seen too many beauties, neither Diao Chan nor Minaya of the otherworldly world would be inferior to this one, in fact, they were even more moving.
Moreover, he could already be sure that the spiritual power that had been faintly surrounding them before came from this female elf.
In other words, this elven queen is also a wizard, and judging by her mental power often surrounding Gandalf, it is almost certain that she should be on the same side as the old wizard.
"The Demon Lord knows that you have come here, and your hope of keeping it secret has been dashed."
As soon as they met, the Elven Emperor said something bad news, which made the members of the Ring Guard team feel depressed in their hearts.
Immediately, his gaze turned and fell on Xia Dong's body, "Mage from a foreign land, I have never heard of your hometown, nor have I heard of your deeds, please forgive me for my curiosity." ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Dong replied very casually, "We are just here to travel, or we will leave soon, and we may never come back in the future, and you will never be able to go to our world, why waste energy to understand us." ”
"Mighty mage, your mana can destroy the fire demons, your anger can bring Moriath to the top, and when I see you, I feel like I see hope, thank you for your righteous deeds." The crisp voice like a mountain spring sounded slowly, but seeing that the Elven Emperor was a little embarrassed, the Queen of Light took over the conversation.
Pursing his lips and smiling, Xia Dong looked at the queen carefully, and responded meaningfully: "You're welcome, we didn't deliberately want to destroy the fire demon, it's just that it has to stand in our way, there is a saying in our hometown: If you don't die, you won't die, give it to you." ”
Looking at the Elven Emperor who was a little blue, he added: "Actually, we are just passers-by, and now we are only involved in these things because of Frodo, although we don't regret it, but to be honest, these things have delayed us too much, so what we urgently need now is to be able to destroy the Ring as soon as possible, and then continue our journey." ”
After a pause, the Queen of Light was silent for a moment, and then spoke with a gentle smile: "We have received news that not long ago, Isengard, the territory of the white-robed wizard Saruman, was attacked, and a group of strange beings with strong strength destroyed the entire Isengard and killed Saruman. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, especially Gandalf.
After all, who is Saruman, the white-robed wizard?
One of the gods, Maia, the Speaker of the White Council, possessed immortal life and strange powers, and once nearly buried the Fellowship of the Ring alive with magic thousands of miles away, and he even created a powerful orc who was not afraid of the sun.
No matter how unwilling Gandalf is, he can't change the fact that he is suppressed everywhere.
But such a powerful existence, how could he suddenly be killed by a group of guys who don't know their origin?
Not to mention the people in the field, even the Queen of Light couldn't believe it when she first got the news, she even used magic repeatedly to confirm and verify, but when she finally affirmed it, she was shocked into a cold sweat.
She was shocked by the terrifying strength of those people, shocked by the desolation and misery of Isengard, and even more shocked: she knew nothing about these people.
Knowing nothing is terrible!
Whether it is an enemy or a friend, as long as you can know his purpose and understand his desires, you can have a way to save yourself, but knowing nothing means that you don't know what to do, so you can only wait passively.
"Your Majesty, you just said that Saruman has ...... Is this source credible? ”
There was a slight tremor in his voice, and Gandalf, who had reacted, grabbed the staff hard and asked, he was really a little sad and happy, sad that his friend for many years had fallen like this, and happy that once Saruman died, Sauron's power would be equivalent to a big blow.
In the face of his questioning, the elven queen only stared at Xia Dong tightly, "Yes, I have personally confirmed that Isengard has been attacked by terror, the earth has been torn apart, the sky is wailing, the original wizard territory has become a barren and dead land, and the white-robed Saruman has not been spared. ”
Sensing her gaze, all the members of the Ring Guard team instantly remembered, didn't Xia Dong still have a few companions?
Since Xia Dong and the others can destroy Moriah alone, his companions ......
Sensing the change in everyone's faces, Xia Dong had no choice but to slowly show a smile and admit it calmly, "Yes, the affairs of Isengard and Saruman were all done by my companions, but I want to state first, they are them, we are us, if you want to settle accounts, I can provide you with their whereabouts, please don't implicate us." ”
Hearing this, the corners of the Queen of Light's eyes immediately jumped, what are you kidding, those crazy people...... Who would dare to settle accounts with them?
She had seen what had happened to Isengard with her own eyes, and although she couldn't imagine what kind of magic could have had that effect, she was sure that if Carasgalaton faced that kind of attack, the outcome would not have been much better.
"Higashi, why would your companion attack Saruman?"
Seeing that the scene was embarrassed again, Gandalf took the opportunity to ask his own question, after all, Xia Dong had said before that his companions left first because they didn't want to cause trouble, but why did they suddenly clash with Saruman?
Or rather, why do they want to destroy Isengard, destroy Saruman?
Xia Dong's strength is indeed strong, and it is indeed a good thing to have his help, but if he has a ghost in his heart, the consequences will not be ordinary bad.
At least Gandalf admits that the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring, even if they are tied together, are far from being a match for others.
Therefore, if the other party really has any problems, Gandalf prefers to have a showdown now, at the very least, there are elves here to help.
Although, he already had a faint feeling: maybe he and the others plus the elves would not be Xia Dong's opponents.
