- "Taurrell...... A name I've never heard of, and it doesn't seem to be a character in the Lord of the Rings. Not...... It doesn't seem to be an original character in the movie...... It seems that she has some degree in common with that 'Talion', both of which are variables that should not exist in the first place under this worldview? ”

In the mental network, Zhan Lan tilted his head slightly. She carefully retrieved the memories of the Lord of the Rings in her mind. And confirm that there is no trace of this character in either the movie or the middle.

And rightfully so.

Because she lives in the timeline of 07, and the elf woman in front of Jiang Yu comes from the prequel movie of The Lord of the Rings that will not be filmed until several years later.

The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit. It tells the story of Bilbo Baggins, who is hired by a dwarven expedition to go to the Lonely Mountain to steal the Arkon Diamond. As the last Ring-bearer of the One Ring, Bilbo obtained the most sinister treasure in Middle-earth during this unexpected journey. And in the sixty years of keeping the ring, he has suppressed the restlessness of the Ring with the unique ambition of the hobbit, so that this dark power that can set off a bloody storm at any time is of great use.

Zhan Lan knew the story, but even so, she didn't know the elf of Torrell.

Because she is a movie character, an individual who does not exist in the film - when the director forcibly lengthens the 'hobbit' with only a thin book into an epic trilogy, he sets up some emotional scenes involving the conflict between elves and dwarves. And she unfortunately became the director's tool, and the final ending was not satisfactory.

She falls in love with a dwarf, a member of the Lonely Mountain Expedition, the dwarven prince Chiri.

Eventually, Chili dies in a battle with the orcs. She was also tortured because of this, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Jiang Yu originally thought that she had died a long time ago.

Because in Middle-earth, elves who are the firstborn of gods have a certain quality - they are so pure that they can be killed by extremely strong feelings. As long as the elf has a lover, he will never change his mind. And when a loved one dies, they may even grieve to the point of physical heartbreak, giving up this long and permanent life.

Taurrell is indeed in love with Chili, and as an original character who does not exist in the canonical history, it is not uncommon for him to die of a real heartbreak.

Sixty years later, however, she appeared here, in the westward migration of the Wood Elves, not in the Black Forest or near the Dwarven Kingdom of the Lonely Mountain on the other side of the Misty Mountains. She was clearly traveling west with her kind, but her current target was the Moria Mines, the area where the remaining members of the Dwarven Expedition had finally arrived after the disbandment of the Dwarven Expedition.

- "She must be hiding some secrets. ”

- "This secret may be more powerful than the C-rank branch that the Lord God has promised us. ”

And is there anything wrong with the word used by the Lord God? Witness the destruction, not the remnants of the destruction...... Could it be that the members of the Dwarven Expedition have not died completely until this moment? ”

- "Jiang Yu, I think we should pay special attention to this matter. ”

Zhan Lan's voice chattered endlessly, because the speed of telepathic communication was too fast.

She uttered five sentences at the same time, rather than saying them one after the other in order. And this also shows the sudden surge of interest in her chest, and the eagerness of her heart.

Jiang Yu was a little speechless.

As a prophet, he knew that Taurrell was most likely in love with the house and the black, as well as the improvised intention. She didn't die of heartbreak, but she no longer had any interest in the land of Middle-earth, which had lost her love. That's why she tried to travel west, across the Misty Mountains, to meet and gather with her own people on the other side of the mountain. And it wasn't until Jiang Yu mentioned Oak's alienation here that she woke up from a dream at this moment and thought about the Moriath Expeditionary Force.

Maybe it's love for the house and Wu, or maybe it's pure empathy. She became interested in the final ending of Chili's former companions. She wanted to go to the mines of Moria, to know what happened to the dwarves. In this way, she will be able to let go of the last burden in her heart, and go across the sea to the west or simply die on the spot, so as to return to the ancestral land of the elves.

Jiang Yu thought so—but he couldn't explain the secret to Zhan Lan.

And he only hesitated for a moment, and Zhan Lan in the mental network showed more interest.

- "It's a coincidence. ”

She said.

- "This coincidence is too delicate. ”

She progressed.

- "We just found a random place to stop, and we came across an Orc march. We just erase this darkness at will. I found the wood elf in the distance who was being attacked by Oak. We were desperate to get some information, but it was in this place that we met this woman who called herself Taurrell. And she happened to be involved in a big secret. ”

She laid out the evidence.

- "A series of coincidences point to a precious side plot. And the Lord God has made it necessary to take her with him. In other words, as long as we choose the wrong one of the actions described above, which are entirely stacked by chance. She would either die or stay away from the survivors. The probability that we will come into contact with this side plot is equivalent to a miracle. ”

She seemed to have a point.

- "It's not an accident, there's a behind-the-scenes driving force. Some invisible, vast force is influencing us, dispatching the fate we are experiencing...... I think the main god is very suspicious because the main god has put a side story on us. And this side quest, there is no punishment, only reward. ”

- "Promise her, Jiang Yu. But beware of the secrets she brings us. I think Chu Xuan should be informed of this matter, maybe he can find out some secrets from here. And in that mine, called Moria, there may be something that would be useful to us. ”

Jiang Yu decided to temporarily block Zhan Lan's fragmented thoughts.

He stared at Taurrell—and the Sylvan Elf of Li Shuaixi, who would not be higher than normal, was fearless in his gaze. He could clearly read the weary and withered heart in the elf's eyes. And he believed that if someone had implanted something inappropriate in Taurrell's spirit or body, then Zhan Lan must have peeled off the corresponding traces in repeated scans and inspections.

His thoughts didn't last long, but his gaze brought too much pressure.

The hearts of the wood elves, which had been slightly relieved, tightened again and again at this moment. Jiang Yu heard more than one sound of toes rubbing against the ground, breathing through the alveoli, and the sound of saliva swallowing in his throat.

It's all noise.

"Yes." And Taurrell gave him a clear response—her tone was full of determination. "I want to go to Moria, I want to know what's going on in that pit. And since you are so hostile to Isinger and yet so murderous, it means that you have a plan or need to go to Isinger, and I ...... can help you in this matter. ”

Her people suddenly sent her a flurry of hurried elven words, and she immediately responded with the same hurried, but more determined, elven language. The exchange was swift and full of emotion. And before Zhan Lan could complete the transcription and translation in Jiang Yu's ears, she turned her head and provided a little help to the reincarnators before all the actions began.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't know your truest purpose. But I don't think you're telling us for no reason that Issinger has turned away from the right path and made a move on the elves. She said.

And the wood elf who had spoken to her fiercely, the warrior leader who was the first to look at Jiang Yu, nodded to Jiang Yu after a short silence.

"I can blow the trumpet and gather all the wood elves in this woodland who are preparing to go west like us. I will convince them to visit our old neighbor one last time before leaving Middle-earth, the Speaker of the White Council, the white-robed Saruman who has been on the front lines of the suppression of darkness for many years. It could be an ordinary visit, or it could be a march of revenge. And if you are confident in Saruman's allegations, then you probably don't mind if we go to the area where you meet as witnesses. ”

This has an implication, that is, if Jiang Yu's accusation is false. Then their group of wood elves who are preparing to travel west will stand on Saruman's side at that time to attack the evil forces that frame the white-robed wizard. But if the accusation is true, or if there is something else hidden. The elven migrants, who have suffered a lot of losses among their kin, will not hesitate to vent their anger and firepower to the betrayer.

And Jiang Yu's decision is......

………………………………

A few minutes later.

"So...... You just go to the jungle and you trigger a side plot and get a clue to secretly go to Isengard. And this elf who provides you with clues has a high probability of hiding a major secret? ”

Above the clouds and mist, Zheng Zhe stared at Taurrell who remained on the surface - the two of them didn't know anything, but they were also clearly reminded that the newcomer who was not allowed to leak secrets was having a nutritious communication with this sudden entrant. And after listening to Jiang Yu's relay, he blinked with some doubt.

"It seems so." Jiang Yu nodded. "Zhan Lan thinks that there is a high probability of this."

"And you've even pulled a big army...... Although they may not be equipped with heavy weapons, they are undoubtedly all elite elven armies. And they are willing to help us in our crusade against Issinger even if they meet one condition that is simply a free gift for us? ”

"Uh...... I didn't know the elves could unite on this. "Jiang Yu, turned her head a little embarrassed." Generally speaking, though, I think there are gains and losses. Having the help of the Wood Elves may not be entirely positive. ”

"......" Zheng Zha was silent.

"............," Zheng Qi sighed.

“………………！” Zheng Zha picked up the axe.

"I'm going to beat you to death, a cheap dog who sells good things!"
