Chapter 013: Life in Rivendell

Gandalf had left Rivendell early the next morning, and Edward had taken up residence in Rivendell, where Elon had given him rights second only to himself, and with his deeds, all the elves here looked at the demon hunter with reverence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Galadriel's forging took five days, and although Edward was eager to go into the forging room to help the elven queen, he also knew that with his beginner forging skills, he could only help. If you want to reach Galadriel's forging level, you must at least reach the advanced forging technique.

During his time in Rivendell, Edward felt a completely different life. Here, he wakes up early in the morning to exercise, and after breakfast, he joins the Rivendell musicians to talk and practice the various instruments of the elves. He also composed his own songs to the elven musicians, which were praised and loved.

Playing and singing were Edward's only hobbies besides fighting, and he learned three songs during his demon-hunting career in the Eastern Continent.

"Pathos", "The Brave" and "The Triumph of the Good".

The elven musicians who were taught named these three movements "The Demon Hunter Trilogy" and played them together with many musical instruments at the dinner, which received a lot of praise.

After music lessons, it was usually time for lunch, after which Edward would go to the herb and forge rooms of Ruiwei Dale to practice the alchemy and forging techniques he had learned.

Alchemy is also recorded in the history of elves, but the elves of Rivendell are not very knowledgeable, and the potions they concoct can usually only cure minor ailments.

Edward also taught the elves the three recipes that came with elementary alchemy as a thank you to Galadriel for building his weapons - which the generous King Elon did not ask him to do - but Edward was not a man who liked to owe favors.

Among the three recipes, the refreshing medicinal wine is the favorite of the Rivendell elves who have been in peace for a long time, this requirement can not only make people feel uplifted, but also will have a fresh taste with the fragrance of licorice, and will not be dizzy after drinking too much.

Elrond, on the other hand, is more interested in healing plasters and antidotes, and now that evil is gradually coming, war will be inevitable, and with these two potions, the casualties of the elves will be greatly reduced.

Especially the antidote, King Elon tested its effectiveness as soon as he got his hands on it, and the results made him very satisfied—it was a good antidote to the poisons used by orcs.

As for the art of blacksmithing, with Edward's skills, he could now only become a student and apprentice. Although the elves' forging skills are slightly inferior to those of the dwarves (the dwarves are the creations of the god of forging, Ori), they are not comparable to Edward, who has only mastered the primary blacksmithing skills.

Edward would go to the forge every day to learn the art of elven forging and help with the work, or forge some of the less important parts himself. On the third day, he will also build some arrowheads for his own use, which will be needed for the rest of the journey.

After afternoon tea, Edward would go to the elven army and train with the elven soldiers.

Edward's swordsmanship is definitely mastery, his archery and spear skills are equally superb (for the Li family demon hunters who can't cast magic, bows and spears are their only long-range attacks), and he has a lot of experience in dealing with monsters.

Here, Edward will teach the elven soldiers some rare swordsmanship, tactics, dodging methods, battle formations, power use techniques, and even demon-breaking techniques, etc., and will also teach the elven soldiers some common Warcraft habits and weaknesses.

Edward's humility, knowledge, and strength earned him the recognition and admiration of the elven soldiers, and greatly enhanced their methods against the orcs.

For dinner, Edward prefers to have dinner with some of the civilians and soldiers of Rivendell, laugh with them, and tell these elves who have lived in peace for a long time his blood-boiling battlefield stories. Under his influence, the amiable King Elon also came here from time to time, rejoicing with the people, sometimes cheering and sometimes lamenting Edward's stories.

In just five days, Edward, a human who looked like an elf, was accepted by the elves of Rivendell as if he were one of them.

From the past few days of life in Rivendell, Edward has also thoroughly learned some of the elven culture and skills of Middle-earth, and he has even begun to learn elven language and can do daily communication.

The magic of Middle-earth, in Edward's opinion, was still in a very primitive stage, or rather a relatively obscure stage. Most of the magic in this world does not manifest an exact mana body, and usually only manifests itself in a relatively abstract form. Gandalf, for example, relied on the slashing of his staff and sword in his battles, and Edward never saw him use magic.

In the native plane, even a junior mage does not use melee attacks, and usually uses relatively low-level magic such as small fireballs against enemies.

This is almost impossible to see in Middle-earth. There are also elven wizards in Rivendell, and most of them are healing and blessing systems, and the concept of using wizards to form a cannon array is almost impossible in Middle-earth.

This made Edward a little disappointed, for a long time, not being able to cast magic was a nightmare for the Li family's demon hunters, and how many people in the Li family wanted to get the ability to cast spells, but they couldn't do it, and Edward was of course one of them.

However, Edward was not in a hurry, there were many more worlds he would have to experience in the future, and there was always a world where he could find the ability to cast spells.

After five days of living in Rivendell to the fullest, Galadriel finally emerged from the forge at dusk on the fifth day.

She seemed much haggard, but her face was happy. Behind her, two elves came out with a one-man tall greatsword, and one elf with a purple longbow in his hand.

When Edward saw the greatsword for the first time, he fell in love with it.

"Thankfully, Edward, this greatsword is one of the few masterpieces I've ever built in my life, and I'm sure he's worthy of you as a mighty demon hunter. Galadriel looked at Edward and smiled, "I've used almost the most precious gems and metals, and I've given this greatsword some magical properties. Although this magical property only prevents the greatsword from breaking, I guess that's what you want. ”

"Thank you, Honorable Madame Galadriel, for amazed me by your generosity. Edward bowed heartily, "You're right, although I have a strong physique, I can't cast any magic, including magic on magical items. ”

"No, the magic on the greatsword doesn't need to be cast by you, it repairs the damage of the greatsword itself, and the source of the magic is the gem set in the tail of the hilt. ”

"Now that this greatsword is yours, please give it a name. ”

"I want to call it Shine. Looking at the giant sword that radiated silver brilliance, Edward said without hesitation.
