The current Lingu Conference ended in a warm atmosphere of peace, and representatives of all parties exchanged views and suggestions on the establishment of a national united front against Solon, and reached consensus on many major issues, laying a solid foundation for the successful development of the next session.

In a word, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

The delegates returned to their bedrooms, and before night fell, a lively discussion began.

In the elven council chamber, a group of elven elders exchanged heads and argued with themselves.

A male elf with a worried hairline frowned and said, "Sauron's army is too strong, we must migrate to the overseas fairyland for refuge." There the ranks were reorganized in the hope of counterattacking the continent. ”

Another elf with thick eyebrows and big eyes scolded: "Ridiculous! How many big ships can cross the ocean? Can they carry everyone? Only by staying and fighting for their homeland can they find a glimmer of life." ”

An old god was there, and the elven elder who closed his eyes and meditated also spoke: "That's right, the weapon sold by that goblin is a bit powerful, we can buy the next batch first, and then hurry up to imitate and learn." ”

"Copy, don't you see how much time is left? Saruman's army of terror is almost finished, and when winter passes, it will be able to pour out and destroy everything. If you want me to say, everyone should dig out their families and buy as many weapons as they can. ”

"Hmph, ask Grofendale yourself, a Mithril dagger inherited from the Second Age can only be exchanged for two Maxim machine guns, according to this exchange method, it is not enough to empty Ravendell. ”

King Elon sat on the wooden throne at the top of the hall, looking at the chattering and noisy elven compatriots in the audience, and only felt very irritated.

The king stopped the argument in a majestic voice, and said, "Groffinddale, you and Mr. Anduin went to the treasury of Rivendell today to take stock of the property, and tell me the result. ”

Standing beside Elon, Grofendale bowed slightly, pulled out a long, ground-to-drag scroll from behind him, and read it.

"A pair of gilt colored ruby brooches from the Second Age, worth 100,000 points. The so-called points can be exchanged for guns, ammunition, transportation vehicles, and other items in the merchandise section. ”

"There are eighteen sets of Ranger Cloaks from the Dark Forest in the Third Age, with a total value of 200,000 points. ”

"There are five hundred sets of elven close-fitting scale armor of the Third Age, worth 300,000 points. ”

After reading the tedious and detailed form, Groffindale concluded, "The treasures in the entire Rivendell warehouse add up to eight thousand, two hundred and twenty-thirty thousand, and nine hundred points. ”

The elven elders glanced at each other, looked up a little confused, and asked, "Uh, what is this number?"

"Much, not much. Glorfindale shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we just buy guns, these possessions will be enough for us to arm a full thirty thousand elven soldiers." But if you add in the steel carriages called 'automobiles', or the more powerful artillery, it is somewhat stretched. ”

"Cars?" muttered the elven elders like repeaters, "is that the thing the goblins sat on when they drove into Rivendell? it doesn't look faster than a horse." ”

Groffindelle laughed, "That's just that Mr. Anduin didn't raise the car to top speed." Moreover, it is also written on the commodity list that the carrying capacity of these cars is not comparable to that of horses, and it is also convenient to serve, and only need to exchange some fuel called 'gasoline' to carry seven or eight people and travel thousands of miles a day. ”

What's even more terrifying is that a car named Wuling Hongguang on the form is fast, sensitive to cornering, comfortable to drift, and has built-in air conditioning, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.

In addition, the actual number of Wuling Hongguang far exceeds its nuclear capacity, and more than ten people can also be squeezed, which can be said to be quite high from the perspective of cost performance.

"A thousand miles a day! I'm afraid even the best horse in the hussar kingdom can't do it. ”

The elven elders were amazed and asked hesitantly, "Sounds like it's worth buying." But what are you talking about?"

"Well, according to the description on the form, an eight-pounder cannon is enough to break the gates of the capital of Gondor, and on top of this there are 16-pounder cannons, wooden conscience cannons, and other weapons, but the exchange price is also staggeringly high. ”

Grofendale glanced hesitantly at King Elrond, and continued, "It looks very tempting, maybe we can exchange a few cannons for a test fire tomorrow to see how effective it is." ”

"That's it. King Elon stood up and said, "Groffindelle, you and the elders will consult with each of the elders, and tomorrow you will buy every item in the list, test it, and finally give me a draft." ”

With that, the elven king ignored the elven elders who were arguing again, and hurried to Gandalf's bedroom.

Ahem, King Elrond's wife gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him, and he was wounded by a poisonous arrow from an orc in the early years and died. Since then, the king of Ayron has been indulging in the pain of losing his wife, and has the greatest hatred for the orcs.

The reason for interpolating this point is to keep the reader from thinking that at this moment King Elon is standing side by side with Gandalf, standing in the gazebo to discuss the establishment of a national united front against Sauron.

The elven elder frowned and asked, "That goblin, is it trustworthy?"

Gandalf's face was not filled with joy or sorrow, and he pondered for a moment and said, "I don't feel the darkness in his heart. ”

"The absence of darkness does not mean that he believes in light. King Elon said unceremoniously, "With all due respect, you have also looked away from Saruman. ”

Gandalf sighed and whispered, "Perhaps, the world has become too crazy, do you know what is happening next to the noisy river?" ”

"?!" King Elon was shocked, "Impossible, most of his essence has been stripped of and exiled to the Void Realm. ”

"Well, maybe. He claimed to have connected to the vast and majestic Source Sea and mastered new powers. Gandalf tapped his staff and said, "The power of the sun." ”

The king of Elon was speechless, and did not know how to feel.

Gandalf sighed, as if talking to himself, "I can't see Anduin clearly, he is like a duckweed without roots and no source, but he can provide us with a lifeline against Sauron. ”

The gray-robed mage was silent for a moment, and said coldly, "Even if it is a cup of poisonous wine, I will drink it without hesitation." In front of Sauron, there is no hope of victory without giving up something. ”
