Chapter 136: Temporary Departure
After the battle of the Demon Hunter Fortress, the power of the orcs began to shrink, and the traces of paladins began to appear on the Charr-Iron Hills defense line, and the Demon Hunter Fortress towering in the south of the central part of the defense line became the most solid shelter in the middle of Middle-earth, a large number of merchants and travelers walked on this avenue opened up by the demon hunters with peace of mind, looking at the paladins who frequently ran by, their hearts were full of admiration and peace of mind, they no longer had to be afraid of the sudden appearance of ogres, trolls and half-orcs.

The emergence of this avenue has brought rare prosperity to the north-central part of Middle-earth, benefiting from the kingdoms of Rivendell, the Dark Forest, and the Dwarven Kingdom, and the rapid development of national power and population, becoming the three most powerful countries in the north-central continent.
The Knights of the Demon Hunters benefited the most, and Edward's purpose of respecting every good faction and welcoming anyone with lofty ideals to the Order was supported by several countries, and people gradually gathered on the vast plains of the Demon Hunter Fortress to form a town close to the Demon Hunter Fortress. In honor of Edward and the Knights of the Demon Hunters, she was named the town of Light.
In the year 2981 of the Third Age of Middle-earth, the year after the Battle of the Fortress, the town of Light was basically formed and added to the map of Middle-earth. All the reserves of the Demon Hunter Knights have basically become official paladins, and the number of the Knights has suddenly expanded to about 3,000 people. Although this number is not a lot for some large countries, if you add the super combat ability of the Paladins and Holy Rangers, it is a powerful combat force.
Seeing that everything is on track, and the orc base camp in the north is not something that the current righteous camp can uproot, Edward intends to return once.
Throughout the year, he missed Aisha all the time, and he had to return to Little Lake Fort to see her in order to strengthen his faith.
Legolas was excited to hear that he was leaving. The free-yearning elf had been imagining scenes from other planes, and he couldn't wait.
But Aragorn, who had been entrusted with the command of the Order, frowned, fearing that he would not be able to control the Order with his prestige.
"Don't underestimate yourself, Aragorn. Edward handed the Scepter of Light, which symbolized the commander of the Order, to the Aragonese Dao, "I may be like last time, and it will take many years to return, but I promise you: before Sauron is destroyed, I will return again, and this is one of my hometowns, and I cannot give up." ”
"What's more, the members of the Demon Hunter Knights are all people of immaculate character who are favored by the Holy Light, and they can distinguish right from wrong, I believe that under the leadership of you and these old members, the purpose of the Demon Hunter Knights will always be carried out, and the evil of Middle-earth will be punished enough. ”
"And what about Legolas?, and he'll be on to your hometown with you, too?" Jin Li looked at Legolas with a little envy, he also wanted to go with the two of them, but with his achievements and status, the future of the dwarven kingdom would most likely depend on him to inherit, and Edward couldn't take a future king with him.
Legolas, on the other hand, had only one son, Thranduil, but the elves' lives were eternal, and they did not need to worry about the royal succession.
"Well, I accept your commission. Aragorn thought about it and agreed, but he couldn't find an excuse to stop Edward from his journey. All the while, Edward gave him the feeling that he would leave at any time.
"Go early and come back early. Bion said crisply, patting Edward on the shoulder.
The news of Edward's departure was not widely publicized, and only a few people knew about it. However, by the time King Elon and Gandalf were about to see them off, they had long since disappeared.
............
"This is your home?" Edward and Legolas were already in the Little Lake Fort when they reappeared. After Edward threw a suit of clothes to Legolas, he hurried out of the bedroom, leaving Legolas looking around curiously.
The Siphon Crystal was placed in the basement of Castle Smalllake, and Edward rushed down the basement.
"I'm back, Aisha, are you alright?" Edward's expression softly stroked the smooth siphon crystal, in which Aisha's figure was blurry, almost only an outline, but it soothed Edward's longing.
"Your departure has taught me a painful lesson and perfected my heart of faith. ”
"It's all your work, it's you who make me stronger. ”
"I swear, I'll wake you up as soon as possible and continue the good days of your time at Rivendell. ”
Edward muttered to himself at Aisha's soul frozen in siphon crystals, completely oblivious to Ania standing in the basement doorway.
"Who is Edward, and what have you been through?" Ania asked with a heavy face as she looked at Edward with a slight tear in surprise. She could see that inside the crystal was the soul of a woman. From Edward's muttering, she could roughly associate something.
Her heart suddenly ached.
But to her surprise, Edward took her in his arms, his shoulders shaking, tears streaming down her back.
Edward was crying, but his voice was full of determination: "You won't want to know, and I won't let you know, Aniah. I only need to carry everything, and it is my greatest wish that you can live happily in Xiaohu Fort. I won't let anyone who cares about me down anymore. ”
"Tell me what's going on, and I'll share it with you. Edward's answer confirmed her suspicions, because every once in a while, Aniah, who was fully attached to Edward, would be sensitive to Edward's changes.
It was as if Edward had been away from her for a long time. In her eyes, although Edward is powerful, his heart is still only a teenager under the age of twenty.
"I'm worried about you, Edward. Whatever happens, tell me. ”
Edward didn't answer her, quickly wiped away his tears, and pulled Anya out of the basement.
"Trust me, Aniah, it's not the time yet. Edward replied to Ania without looking back, "I'm not strong enough, and when I have enough strength, I won't tell you what I've been through." ”
Annia was a little dissatisfied, and was about to get to the bottom of it, when Legolas, dressed up, walked out of the bedroom.
"This ...... This is the elf of this plane......" Legolas covered his mouth in the middle of speaking, because he was reminded by the system that he had leaked a small amount of information and was deducted points. Soon, though, Legolas was drawn to Aniah.
It wasn't that he was attracted to her beauty, but that he was amazed by her long ears.
So far, the elves Edward encountered were all long-eared, but they were all different.
The elven ears of Middle-earth are the shortest, almost only the pinna are pointed.
The elven ears of Azeroth are about the same length as the native planes, except that the former are backwards and the latter are horizontally.
Ania was also curious about this "human" who suddenly appeared, but she quickly noticed the word "plane" in the other person's mouth, and her heart suddenly opened up a lot!
"Let me introduce you, this is Legolas Greenleaf, my friend. This is Annia Holy Oak, my ...... My ......" Edward was halfway through his introduction, when he suddenly couldn't go on.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Legolas, I'm Edward's fiancée. Annia shook Legolas' hand graciously.
"Fiancée, Lovely Sha, she ......," Legolas looked at Edward, confused.
"That's Aisha, a nice name. The clever Annia had roughly guessed the origin of these sudden appearances, "Maybe the customs here are a little different from yours, Austria allows men to marry more than one woman, and it's not very strange that I'm Edward's fiancée, what do you think?"
"And this custom?" Legolas exclaimed, his eyes wide, a little incredulous.
"Yes, it's not some strange custom. "A good man will always have a lot of people like him, and the custom of polygamy is precisely to avoid tragedy." Of course, before the parties get married, the witnesses will ask about the wishes of both parties, and if the forced marriage is discovered, it will be punished by the law. ”
"Well, I'm alone. Legolas bowed slightly, apologizing.
"It's okay, you must be tired from your first arrival, let's start dinner now. ”
Afterwards, Annia left to prepare dinner.
"Does she know something?" asked Legolas softly.
"I think so, but that's fine, at least I don't have to explain it. Edward looked at Annia with some emotion.
"Dinner seems to be waiting a little longer, don't you think it would be a good idea to show me around your castle?" Legolas quickly forgot about this concern and said with great interest.
"It's a great honor, come with me, I have to release Alan first. Edward replied, then leading the way.
