Chapter 52: The Best Time
Who is Elrond?
Maybe many people don't know very well, because many people may be familiar with the picturesque Thrandil, but in fact, in terms of real turn, Elrond is not inferior to Thranduil, and may even be higher.
After all, Josh remembers that in the Hobbit prequel, Thranduil was not present at a high-level meeting, and it was Elrond who came forward on behalf of the elves.
And Josh now suddenly felt that this elf was indeed very familiar.
After all, he used to be an invincible agent in the Hacker Empire, of course Josh remembers that face, but now Elrond looks much younger than in the movie, so Josh can't help it, and Josh is still worried about whether this will be some terrible world.
Josh still has a very good impression of Elrond, after all, this elf king is a very outstanding character no matter what step he is in the Lord of the Rings movie.
Of course, Josh is also very embarrassed now, the place where this elven king rules is Rivendell, and Josh's territory unfortunately happened to change to the exact same name.
Josh's original intention was to hope that his territory could be the same as here, and to be honest, Josh also hoped that his territory could surpass the legendary Rivendell.
But when he actually came to this world, Josh realized that it seemed that he couldn't compare with this place except for many magic devices.
This makes Josh, a knockoff, feel very ashamed.
Elrond also seemed to see Josh's embarrassment, so he asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong?" Lord Josh? ”
"Well, nothing, just thinking about something. By the way, I have a magic here that will allow me to learn your language and knowledge quickly, but I may need your help. ”
"No problem, what do you need me to do?"
"It's simple."
Josh directly took out three magic crystals from his space bag and handed them over: "This is a special magic in our world, I have already set up magic on the magic crystals, I only need to import my soul power into it, and then you can choose to put some knowledge that you think is okay." ”
Elrond took Josh's handover of the magic crystal with a little confusion, and chose to try it after taking a closer look.
The elves of this world are actually very strange, they don't seem to belong to the natural magic of the elves, which is very strange.
I don't know if it's the setting of this world or something else, but of course they're very prominent in other aspects.
For example, their melee strength and skills are very powerful, which Josh has not seen in the movie, and even Gandalf, who was ridiculed by Josh, is also a melee master.
Also, he has some special magic, some similar to the soul.
Josh also learned this from the movie, Galadriel, the ruler of the Golden Forest Roselorian, the most powerful elf in Middle-earth, the princess of Noldor, once used a mage similar to soul magic to repel the sudden attack of Sauron.
Elrond infiltrated his spiritual power, and soon he understood the effect of this magic crystal.
Or maybe Josh had already left the relevant information in the magic crystal, and Elrond knew what to do.
I have to say that Josh is still relatively well prepared, of course, in fact, this is his practice work, the purpose is to solve some daily problems less violently.
For example, if he goes to a world like Warcraft, if he accidentally meets a guy like Medivan, then such a magic crystal is very necessary.
Elrond was quick, and it didn't take long for him to return the crystal that Josh had handed him.
Josh handed the other two directly to Galen and Natasha, who knew how to use them anyway, and used one himself.
Soon, Josh directly absorbed the memories in the magic crystal.
And Josh was also surprised to find that he seemed to have a very high degree of integration with these memories, of course, it can also be said that his absorption was very high, because he felt that he could directly use the knowledge inside, such as language.
Josh, who was a little confused, tried to say, "Mr. Elrond? ”
It was a very simple sentence, not even a word, but it still made Elrond feel very surprised: "Hello Lord Josh, it's incredible, your spoken language is completely different from the elves, not the whole world, and more importantly, you learned it so quickly?" ”
"It can only be regarded as that I am special."
Josh glanced at Galen and Natasha behind him, and of course ignored their slightly playful eyes, Josh shrugged his shoulders and said.
After a little thought, Josh probably knew why this was happening, and I have to thank the believers in the Assassin world.
It is because of the power of faith of those believers that Josh's soul has grown beyond imagination, and Josh has gained a lot of benefits after his soul becomes stronger.
Being able to quickly absorb foreign knowledge like this may only be the smallest aspect of it.
"Thank you very much for your help, Your Majesty Elrond, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have mastered the basics of this world so quickly."
"It's really a joy to be able to help friends who come from afar."
Elrond smiled indifferently, looked at the sun in the distance, and said with a smile: "If I can, I would like to invite you to my palace to rest, after all, you have just come to this world." ”
"Thank you very much for the invitation, Your Majesty."
Elrond is indeed as warm as he describes, with a summery warmth.
Faced with his invitation, Josh had no intention of refusing at all. Of course, Josh was also thinking about some more important things, as well as some of his plans.
Elrond's memories are relatively comprehensive, though only very basic things - geography, the politics of the world, and the customs and languages of various places, as well as the present time.
But that's what matters most to Josh.
It's the year 2940 of the Third Age, and if Josh remembers correctly, a year later a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins will be here with a group of rude lovers.
Then more than sixty years later, another Hobbit called Frodo Baggins arrived.
To put it simply, Bilbo Baggins' amazing journey is still a year away, and the story of the Fellowship of the Ring is more than sixty years away.
Josh, who learned this, suddenly felt that he had crossed over a little early?
Of course, there are also advantages to crossing early, such as Josh can plan more things.
Josh likes this world very much, whether it was the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, Josh has gone to the cinema to watch the movie, and Josh likes the culture very much.
Of course, after coming to this world, Josh also found something very interesting.
That is, the people of this world do not seem to be too friendly to their main god, Galadriel has rebelled against the main god, and is also one of the leaders of the Noldor elves who left Amen.
There is also Josh who found that it seems that in the original movie, those so-called gods have not appeared.
No matter how fierce Sauron was, even if Middle-earth was about to explode, there was no reaction. You know, Morgoth was dealt with by some human, elven heroes, and even human heroes who returned from outside the territory.
Big things Josh didn't dare to guess, after experiencing the previous world, Josh was a lot more careful, and he specifically inquired about his inheritance.
He didn't get much of a response, but he was asking himself if he was in danger if he put some ideas into practice.
The answer is: no.
This is completely enough for Josh, which also makes Josh have more ideas - the reserve power of the magician's back is basically set at Hogwoods, and Josh does not plan to change it, so what about the reserve power of the warrior?
Along the way, Josh and the others followed Elrond to the royal palace, and enjoyed a rare lunch accompanied by the harp of Elrond's daughter Arwen. Unfortunately, the food didn't satisfy Josh, as it was all vegetarian.
"Sir Josh, it seems that our food here is not to your liking." Elrond could tell at a glance that Josh didn't seem to be happy with the food.
"It's already very tasty, Your Majesty, after all, meat is the staple food for us."
Josh's answer made Elrond pause: "Do elves also eat meat?" Oh, you're half-elf, will your future choice be human? ”
In Middle-earth, half-elves are a very special being.
Although they appear in the same way, they are all species born from the union of humans and elves, but the half-elves of this world have the power to choose - either choose elves and gain a near-eternal lifespan, or become humans.
"No, I don't really have to choose anything."
"Why?"
"I've been in the human empire since I was born, haven't you noticed that I don't actually have elven characteristics?"
Josh really doesn't have the characteristics of elves, although Josh is also very handsome, but there is still a certain gap compared to elves, of course, Josh thinks that the gap in this area may be smaller.
Then there's Josh's ears, which don't have the distinctive ears of elves.
"So, why do I feel a vigorous vitality in your body? Of course, I'm also very strange that your life seems to be ......"
"My life is actually entirely because of some special ways we have it, such as practicing magic."
In the Muya Continent, cultivation is the only way to improve the level of life.
It can be said that every time he ascends to a stage, then that professional will gain a lifespan of nearly a hundred years or so, and until he breaks through to the level of a demigod, his lifespan will be almost eternal.
God is the only eternal. There is no such thing as a natural death unless there is an unpredictable lifespan.
"Practice? Do you mean, to hone your swordsmanship, or to learn more? ”
Elrond is very strange that the word spiritual practice is rarely used by them, and even the concept of this is not very much.
It seems that only by exercising one's body and constantly honing one's swordsmanship can it be called cultivation, but it seems that no human being can rely on this to achieve longevity.
"Of course not, Your Majesty."
Josh took a sip of Elf's wine, his favorite thing so far.
Looking down at the magical item hidden on Elrond's body, it contained the powerful magic of the wind element, and Josh knew that it was one of the legendary rings.
Elrond also noticed Josh's eyes, and when he was about to ask, Josh had already begun to speak: "The cultivation I am talking about is not a simple exercise, Your Majesty. It's something more magical, something more peculiar. ”
"What's that?"
Elrond asked suspiciously, but soon he was speechless, for he felt a magic force that was no less powerful than his ring, and suddenly emerged from the half-elf named Josh in front of him, and then a green ball of energy with a furious wind appeared in front of him.
"This.... What is it? ”
"It's magic, Your Majesty." Josh slowly stood up, holding a wine glass in one hand and the green orb of magic that looked very gentle but extremely violent in the other.
"This is our practice."
