After the trial, Idoras entered into a state of festivities, where people vented all their negative emotions as if to console their departed relatives and friends. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the King's Hall, it was even more festive. The hobbits, Merry and Pippin, danced at the table and sang merry songs, with Hardiel playing for them, Legolas was provoked by the golden bolt and was there to drink, Eowen shouted cheers and watched Aragorn and Iomo wrestle their wrists, Hiudon sat with his son Hiyud, father and son chatting happily, Edward was surrounded by a crowd of children at the door of the King's Hall, performing fireworks for them with his fire magic, and Gandalf watched with a smile and a smile as he smoked his pipe。 Even Bion, who is usually not smiling, has an ugly smile and distributes his favorite honey cake among the children.
All of this makes people feel that life is so good, there is no war, no death.
"For peace. After a while, Edward walked up to Gandalf with two glasses of wine, handed him one, and said.
"Cheers to peace. Gandalf touched him and poured it down.
"No news of Frodo, Boromo, or Sam?" asked Edward, sitting on the railing at the entrance to the king's palace, sipping his wine.
"No, no news. ”
"We all trust Boromo to do his duty as a guard, don't we?" Edward said as he looked into the distance, "I'll send Alan to Mordor's direction tomorrow to find out where they're going." ”
"Alan can't go there. Gandalf said, "Since we think Sauron's next target will be Minas Tirith in Gondor, we must go there as soon as possible to warn us, and Alan is the best helper. ”
"Moreover, Alan's goal is too big to attract Sauron's attention and cause trouble for Frodo. Our mission is to fight against Sauron's army, and Frodo's mission is to destroy the Ring. ”
Edward thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Then I will go with you, there are three people sitting on Alan's back, and there is one more person who are you going to take with you?"
"No, Aragorn can't go, he hasn't made up his mind to accept the throne of Gondor. Gandalf said, "Just the two of us, if Aragon also goes, it will inevitably be at odds with the regent of Gondor." ”
Just then, Edward saw a line of people coming towards Idoras. In the darkness of the night, the white armor and robes on their bodies were so eye-catching, and they faintly emitted a holy light that dispelled the darkness.
"Huh, it's Arwen's clergy, and the paladins of Rivendell. ”
When King Elon decided to leave Middle-earth and return to Amen, some of the Elven Paladins and Priests of the Order decided to stay in the Order, while others returned to Rivendell. Judging by the equipment of the elven knights of this team, they were the paladins and priests of Rivendell, and Edward's keen eyes also saw Arwen in a white robe and hood.
"I think Aragon would be happy to see her. Edward laughed, and then went into the palace to speak to Aragorn.
Soon, Aragorn rushed out and embraced Arwen at the door of Idoras, in front of the crowd.
Aragorn then took Arwen's hand and entered the king's palace, to the applause of the majority.
"Estelle, I am between my father and you, I choose you. Arwen's face was a little shy, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "I will give up the eternal life of the elves and stay in Middle-earth with you." ”
"Wow!" the crowd around them immediately erupted in applause, what could be more joyful on this festive night than to see a couple of lovers become dependents?
Iomo patted the gloomy Iowen to comfort her sister. The latter wiped away his tears, shook his head with a smile, and applauded with the crowd.
Aragorn hugged Arwen tightly, and he remembered many fond memories between the two of them.
"And, I have brought you a gift. After the hug, Arwen picked up the white cloth in her hands and gently uncovered it.
A sword with an ornate scabbard appeared in front of everyone, and those who knew it all showed surprised expressions.
Elendil's sword, the holy sword of Nahir, is not only a holy sword, but also a symbol of power - only the royal blood of Gondor is qualified to hold this holy sword, it is the king's sword!
Upon seeing this holy sword, Edward and Gandalf glanced at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes.
Aragorn also looked at this holy sword in surprise, with mixed feelings.
"Anduriel, the sword of the flames of the West, a reforge of the fragments of Nahir's holy sword. Arwen looked at Aragorn and whispered in Elven language, "Take it, Estelle." There is no escaping your fate, and you must lead your people to the challenge of evil. ”
Aragorn slowly picked up the holy sword and drew it at once.
The holy sword, with its beautiful lines and runes engraved on its body, appeared in front of everyone.
"Aragorn, son of Arason, you must make up your mind for your duty. Seeing Aragorn's hesitant expression, Edward encouraged, "From now on, you will no longer be a member of the Demon Hunter Knights, you are the thirty-ninth grandson of Essidor and the sixteenth King of the Dendans, Aragorn II!"
"Your identity will be recognized by all the people of our Rohanate!, Your Majesty the King of Gondor. "Even if Gondor doesn't support us in the Battle of the Valley of the Helm, we in the Rohan Kingdom will keep our ancient covenant with Gondor, because their king fought for Rohan, and we will fight for Gondor! ”
"Fight for Gondor, fight for the King!" cheered loudly from the crowd around him, and Aragorn looked moved, gritted his teeth, and lifted Anduriel.
"I swear here that I will lead the warriors of Gondor to fight evil to the end!"
............
On this night, in Idoras, the capital of the Rohanate, the name and identity of Aragon, was accepted by the people of the Rohanate. They witnessed the return of the King of Gondor who had been absent for many years.
Aragon did not take place at Idoras, and he needed the support of the people of Gondor to have to do it at Minas Tirith.
The next day, Edward rode Alan and flew to the capital of Gondor with Gandalf and Aragorn, with the aim of seizing power from Gondor and making Aragorn the true king!
The Knights of the Demon Hunters marched towards Minas Tirith as a vanguard of the Rohan army, who would march to Gondor with the army there against the Sauron army after a brief repair.
