"Gandalf, I don't think the half-elf named Wayne you're talking about is definitely not a good guy."

Rivendell, in a secluded room, Saruman tapped the table to keep the other people's eyes on him, and continued:

"A truly righteous man never cares about his reward."

"He alone wanted to occupy a third of the treasure of the lone dwarf, and we all know what a huge fortune it is, and the fact that many kingdoms have not been able to accumulate so much gold for hundreds of years is enough to prove his greed."

"And people like this, just like the former human kings, even if they don't have the Nine Rings of Humans, they are easily tempted by Sauron, and they are very likely to throw themselves into the forces of darkness in the future."

"We've already experienced that lesson once."

"I think we should take some measures to prevent this half-elf called Wayne, and maybe it will reduce a lot of losses in the future."

After listening to Saruman's speech, the elven queen Galadriel did not speak, but looked at Gandalf, most of them had heard of the half-elf's deeds for the first time, and they had no understanding at all, and only Gandalf had the most right to speak.

As for Saruman, after getting along with him for a long time, the elf queen probably figured out the character of this white-robed mage, and she didn't pay so much attention to many of his radical remarks, just listened to them.

As the owners of the Elven Three Rings, Gandalf, King Elrond, and Queen Galadriel, the three of them have always been firm allies and have the highest level of trust, and in most events, the Elven Queen agrees with Gandalf's opinion.

And King Elrond has actually inquired about her evaluation of Wayne from his daughter Arwen, but this king has a relatively calm personality and will not say these evaluations to affect other people's judgment.

The gray-robed wizard touched his white beard, wrapped his hands around his deadwood staff, his bright eyes flashed with thought, and he was silent for a long time before he said:

"It's hard for me to make too many comments about this half-elf, after all, he and I have only been on the journey for more than a month."

However, Bilbo on the team thinks highly of him, and the Wayne Manor he built in the Shire has provided a lot of jobs for the local hobbits and made life better for the surrounding civilians.

"Basically, we have never heard about the bad deeds of this adventurer, and we cannot slander a person's character because of our own speculation."

"Moreover, Wayne's strength is undoubted, whether it is against the evil Orc, or those monsters that twist the darkness, maybe he can really fulfill his promise and take down the evil dragon Smaug."

"If that's the case, let alone a third of the Lonely Mountain Treasure, why not make him king?"

Gandalf's words fell, and the others fell into thought and fell silent.

The brown-robed wizard Radhagast scratched his hair full of bird droppings, and said strangely:

"What are you all talking about?"

"Isn't it nice to have such a person? In the future, when we need his help with any problems, we just need to pay him, and what is the use of foreign objects such as gold? ”

Ladagast also caused others to think, and after a while, the most powerful queen of Galadriel finally spoke:

"Maybe we're thinking too much, but it's not a bad thing to plan ahead, and people's futures are not predestined."

"What we need to do is to guide people's hearts to the light, not to depravity and corruption, and let the power of darkness spread in people's hearts."

The Elven Queen looked at Gandalf and her son-in-law, King Elrond, with divine eyes, and said:

"Whatever path this half-elf chooses in the future, all you have to do is guide him, help him, and make him one of us."

"Friends, I already feel that the forces of darkness are growing in the dark corners, and we must remain vigilant and ready for the battles that may come in the future."

………………

On this morning, Wayne and Alwen met to fish in the river, because the environment in Rivendell was very good, and with the blessing of the ring of qi in the three elven rings, it was not polluted by any filth.

In this valley, whether it is fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and poultry, they are extremely delicious.

A rough man like a dwarf may not appreciate the charm, but as a top chef, Wayne was pleasantly surprised by the ingredients here, and he already had a plan to collect a batch of ingredients and bring them back to the wizarding world for his friends to enjoy together.

After breakfast, Wayne took an artistic jujube fishing rod carved by the elves and wandered along the river with Princess Alwen to find a fishing spot.

As she walked around, the elf girl suddenly mentioned that she wanted to meet his pet Deathclaw Robin.

It turns out that recently, Arwen has heard the knights of her clan discuss this terrifying beast, and is quite interested in the ferocity and strength of the deathclaw.

As an elf, she was born with an aversion to evil, and her mother was depressed because she had been mistreated by the orcs, and chose to cross west hundreds of years ago, leaving Middle-earth and her own family, and it was difficult to see each other again.

Therefore, this princess of the valley will naturally have a slight affection for any warrior who can defeat the orcs, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why she was willing to become Wayne's guide in the first place.

Lord Wayne rarely refuses the requests of beautiful maidens, and thanks to the careful teaching of this princess, he has learned Sinda quite well, and some simple spoken words have been learned by him.

For this little sister of the elf clan who is more than two thousand years old, he still has some good feelings.

The two of them walked along the river for a long time, and before they could reach Robin's area, they suddenly heard a childish shout, not loud, but very hard.

Following this voice, I saw a cute little boy with short black hair, wearing a linen coat and holding a wooden stick in his hand, practicing basic swordsmanship at a glance.

Chopping, chopping, stabbing, picking, with the pace of forward and backward and left and right translation, it also looks presentable.

What made Wayne more concerned was that this young boy did not have the long ears of the elves, but had the appearance of a human.

He tilted his head slightly at Arwen and asked:

"Whose child is this, do you know, Arwen?"

The elf princess was originally in a daze, but after hearing Wayne's question, she tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly smiled toothily and said softly:

"I remember, this is an adopted son adopted by my father a few years ago, named Aragorn, who seems to be ten years old this year."

"But at that time, I had been living in my grandmother's house, and this was the first time I had seen him."

Seeing Wayne nodding abruptly, Alwen added:

"He is the sixteenth generation patriarch of the Dunedan people, the son of Alazon, according to the tradition of the Dunedan people, the son of the patriarch of each generation will be raised and educated by my father, the Dhunedan people are different from ordinary humans, they can generally live to more than two hundred years old, which is a fairly long-lived human race."

Hearing Aragorn's name, Wayne immediately had the impression that this was not the human emperor of the future Fellowship of the Rings?

And when it came to this human emperor, he instantly thought of a question, at this time, the elf princess next to him seemed to be the wife of the future human emperor, it seems that later Alwen gave up her elf identity for love, became a human being, gave up immortality, and died with this human emperor Aragorn after more than two hundred years, which is considered to be the end of her life.

Thinking of this, Wayne felt a little emotional in his heart, and he felt like witnessing history.

So, with some bad taste, he walked in front of Aragorn with Alwen.

When the future human emperor stopped his training and looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

Wayne reached out and took out two well-made wooden swords from his spatial bracelet, threw one in front of Aragorn, while he himself picked up the other and stood in front of him, saying:

"Little friend, I think you like swordsmanship."

"This wooden sword will be given to you, come, pick up this sword, today, uncle and aunt will teach you a little real swordsmanship."

Aragorn was still a half-old child, because his father died at the hands of the orcs when he was two years old, so this child was more precocious and eager for revenge and strength than ordinary human children.

He looked at the rough wooden stick in his hand, and then at the delicate wooden sword that Wayne inserted in front of him, without any hesitation or fear, he immediately threw away the wooden stick, picked up the wooden sword, stood in front of Wayne, put on a decent swordsmanship offensive posture, and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Elven, I'm ready."

Wayne was not polite when he heard this, and shouted "Be careful" in his mouth, and then the wooden sword in his hand slashed quickly, and Aragorn's forearm hit his muscles with a snap, making the corners of the little guy's mouth twitch slightly, obviously quite painful, and even the posture of holding the sword was a little distorted.

In this regard, Wayne smiled slightly, and then explained in a few short and easy-to-understand words, how to defend such an attack, and how to make moves, and then began to practice in the style of abuse.

And in the next hour, Wayne used the method of teaching the witcher's apprentice swordsmanship, not maliciously misleading, but seriously gave Aragon a lesson in swordsmanship.

From the most basic sword holding and swinging, to the follow-up dodge and blocking, his subordinates showed no mercy, and every sword hit Aragorn's body, which made him remember it deeply.

Pain and sweat are the best teachers, an hour of teaching, let the future human emperor enjoy a good one, one-on-one master swordsmanship teacher professional training, the future human emperor hit the nose and face swollen at the same time, but also benefited a lot.

Due to the blessing of talent and system, Wayne's swordsmanship level is basically at the pinnacle of mankind in terms of skill alone, and Aragorn, as one of the protagonists in the future, is also very talented.

It wasn't until little Aragorn sat down on the ground with exhaustion that Wayne smiled heartily and withdrew his sword.

There are not many opportunities to beat the future protagonist like this, and make the other party grateful to Dade, a sensible child like Aragorn is much more gratifying than those bear children who can only get into trouble.

"Okay, that's it, the wooden sword will be left for you as a gift, I still have something to do, let's meet again!"

After saying that, Wayne was ready to take Arwen, who had always had a smile on her face, to continue the search for deathclaws.

Unexpectedly, when Aragorn, who was originally sitting on the ground, saw that he was leaving, he immediately struggled to stand up, saluted respectfully to Wayne's back, and said loudly:

"Mr. Elf, my name is Aragorn, the son of Arazon, the future patriarch of the Dunedan people, and your swordsmanship is very high, and I admire you very much."

"Can you tell me your name, I hope to invite you to be my sword teacher and teach me true swordsmanship."

"If you are willing to take this plea, I will take it to heart."

As Aragorn's words fell, Wayne, who was about to leave, suddenly heard a system prompt sound in his ears.

Bite! Quest trigger, [Aragorn's Sword Teacher] special quest, do you want to take it?

Bite! This quest rewards you based on the degree of completion, up to the master level.

Wayne paused, and his heart was instantly shocked, it was actually a special task that could reach the highest master level.

He turned his head to look at Aragorn, whose face was blue and swollen, and his expression was extremely sincere, and he thought about it for a few seconds, and then nodded with the mentality of not doing it in vain, and said:

"All right, Aragorn."

"You can call me Mr. Wayne, and I'll be here to teach you swordsmanship for two hours every day at this time, but I won't stay in Rivendell for long, and how much you can learn before I leave depends on your savvy and diligence."

With that, he left the place under the cheers of Aragorn's surprise and the somewhat surprised gaze of Arwen.
