Chapter 281: Set sail
The year 1415 in the Shire calendar, and the year 3015 in the Third Age.
The Armageddon between the Free People and the Forces of Darkness lasted two years, finally ending in the autumn of 1415.
After Sauron's death, Saruman's army was finally defeated by Gandalf and the Wind King, and Saruman also died in the chaos after being defeated at the hands of Gandalf, his body was destroyed, and his soul was unable to return to Amen due to his rebellion against the gods, so he could only flee to the far and remote east.
After several days of final battle, the Northern and Western forces slaughtered the remnants of Mordor and returned home to purge Sauron's men who had infiltrated the country.
The local turmoil in the countries of Middle-earth was completely ended at the end of this year, and countless heroes and martyrs emerged in this great war that spread to the whole continent, and at the same time exposed the shortcomings of the great kingdoms of mankind to effectively control the people of the land and defend against powerful enemies.
In mid-1416 the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Army, Aragorn became King of the United Kingdom, a great power from Eriador in the north to Gondor and Rohan in the south, with the full support of the family of the regent of the Kingdom of Gondor and the Hobbits, and in the middle of 1416 in the Shire calendar.
Aragon also became the greatest figure of his time, and he was an indelible epic hero in the records of history, regardless of race.
In July, the royal palace of Minas Tirith in the southern capital is lit up, and today is the most lively and joyous day in the kingdom of men, when King Aragon will marry Arbon, the youngest daughter of Elrond, lord of the valley, a beautiful elven princess.
The halls of the palace were flanked by a crowd of guests, including the thirtieth mayor of the Shire, Paladin II Tuke, the dwarven king Dain II, the green elf princess Trillis of the Blue Mountains, and mayors, generals, and ministers from all over the kingdom.
But in the front row stood Aragon's closest comrades, the leaders of the two coalition armies and Gandalf.
The bell on the bell tower rang three times, the palace gate was pushed open by the guards, and Aragorn and Arwen walked hand in hand into the main hall in their ceremonial robes and stepped onto the red carpet, and the cheers and applause of the crowd thundered.
The court band began to play, the wedding was soon over, and then it was time for everyone to enjoy the feast.
After the wedding, Gandalf invited the Lord of the Glen, Lord Lotslorion and his wife, the two heads of the Natural City, and the Hobbit's Bilbo and Frodo, and set to leave in the spring of three years.
A few people who were going to leave Middle-earth and go to Amen knew that this might be a lifetime, so they all returned to their hometowns to arrange their funeral, and finally went to the "Gray Harbor" in the northwest of Middle-earth in the middle of three years to find Gandalf.
In the year 1420 of the Shire calendar, this year was a bumper harvest that the Shire had not seen in a century, and the grain and tobacco planted last autumn were richly rewarded in this summer.
In the spring of this year, Gandalf passed by the Shire, and made a special trip to the old forest to meet Tom Bombardier, and the two talked for a long time for a day and a night, and the next day Gandalf left Bombardier's hut and rode his "Shadow Shadow" with the blood of a divine horse to the Doomsday Volcano in Mordor.
Xian Yutong and Zhang Sanfeng sat cross-legged on the Doomsday Volcano and closed their eyes to recuperate, they hadn't gone down since they had climbed the mountain to refine treasures five years ago, and in the third year, Gargamel also came over, plunging headlong into the magma, preparing to use the earthfire magma to forge a golden body.
Now there are several newly practiced magic weapons of the two people in the volcano with the help of earth fire, after a few days, Zhang Sanfeng and Xian Yutong opened their eyes at the same time, and in the moment of the change, a magic bow and a black arrow, spar Ruyi, red gold circle and other treasures flew out of the magma.
Putting the treasure into the pure yang bag, Xian Yutong suddenly said, "Gandalf is here." ”
The brilliance on Zhang Sanfeng's finger ring flashed, and a door of light opened in the void, and then countless huge treasure bricks and fairy tiles fell into the volcano.
Xian Yutong said with a smile: "Let Gargamel take care of the sacrificial refining, and the next time we return to Middle-earth, it will be the time when the Immortal Palace is refined!"
In the distance, there was a sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Sanfeng and Xian Yutong got up and looked down the mountain, and sure enough, they saw a white shadow rushing towards the mountain.
A gust of wind blew in his face, and when the wind and dust cleared, Gandalf, the white-robed wizard who rode a divine horse and a white horse, appeared in front of the two with a smile and a groan.
"Two Taoist leaders, don't come unharmed. ”
......
It was a clear day in the middle of the year, and outside Grey Harbour, just north of Linton, passengers were arriving as they were about to embark and set sail west.
Chirdan the "Shipbuilder", Lord of Grey Harbor and member of the White Way Society, and his men greet Elrond, Kellerborn, and Galadriel, as well as Beorn, Reker, Bilbo, and Frodo, in the harbor.
The few members of the White Way Society, who led the people of Middle-earth against the darkness, except for the betrayed Saruman, the lingering Brown-robed Radhagaste, and the unarrived Gandalf, the wise men of Middle-earth have all arrived, and they are ready to set sail for the kingdom of God to be far from death and suffering, with the great merit and heroes recommended by the collective.
Beorn and Rek were very old, their beards were gray, their eyes were cloudy, and even their bodies were rickety, but they were looking into the distance with some anxiety.
Rick asked, "Old Bei, how are your eyesight, how are you?"
Beorn said in a deep voice, "No! The two loving fathers should have come with Gandalf. ”
At the end of the war a few years ago, the two went to Doomsday Volcano to meet Zhang Sanfeng and Xian Yutong, and learned that the two old men would also go to Amen Continent before deciding to go together.
Not long after, a white shadow and a black fog quickly approached in the east, and when a gust of wind blew on the face, the white shadow and black fog stopped in front of everyone, revealing Gandalf on a white horse and Zhang Sanfeng and Xian Yutong sitting on the shoulders of a huge black panther.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after a few words of greeting, Childan smiled and said, "Everyone is ready, please board the ship." ”
A huge white ship sailed from the depths of the harbor, and Childan waved his hand: "This white ship is the best ship I have built since I received the oracle, and it also has the blessings of the Sea King Osi and the Sea Queen Uni, and will soon be able to lead you out of Alda and towards Amen Island." ”
The crowd walked up to the white ship through the deck, and there was not a single sailor on this ship, but it was able to follow the course to the kingdom of God, and it was a treasure similar to an artifact.
Soon the white boat left Grey Harbour and Grey Fjord, and rode all the way to the west.
Three days later, the people who were meditating and sleeping on the ship suddenly woke up, and then they heard a beautiful singing sound in the distance, and at the same time smelled the refreshing fragrance.
Beorn, Rek, and Bilbo, as well as the two elven lords and a lord's wife, could only feel the fragrance and the singing that calmed their minds, and they guessed that it was the coming of the kingdom of God, the song of the mermaid and the smell of fairy grass in the kingdom of God.
But for Xian Yutong, Zhang Sanfeng, and Gandalf, the three sub-gods came to say, and what they saw was different.
At this time, the white ship had reached the edge of the ocean, and immediately entered the straight course of the Ascension Kingdom.
is about to leave Alda, just as the great god's power restriction on Middle-earth has gradually weakened, and the suppressive power has decreased, the mana of the three immortals and sub-gods of Xian Yutong has begun to gradually recover.
At the time of the song and fragrance, the power of the primordial gods flew to the edge of the ocean in the distance, and saw seven or eight mermaids as beautiful as elves sitting on a reef singing loudly, to the effect of worship of the gods.
There is also a pair of huge white swans swimming and playing in the water next to the reef, and among the mermaids are two men and women with perfectly proportioned bodies smiling and looking at the Gandalf, Xian Yutong, and Zhang Sanfeng's Yuan Shen who suddenly appeared on the sea in front of them.
It's a couple, and they all have a divine light in their eyes that makes it impossible to look at them directly.
The man is naked, the lower body is a navy blue scarf, the woman is wearing a green algae shirt, the appearance of the two is more handsome than that of elves and mermaids, but there is a sinister aura between the man's eyebrows, while the woman's face is soft and bright.
The man smiled, "Eurolin (Gandalf), you have finally returned from completing your mission as a god-king. ”
The woman smiled softly and said, "Two great martial arts masters, our husband and wife have heard of the big name for a long time, and when we see it today, it is indeed worthy of the name, and it is worthy of the big man that even my lord wants to visit." ”
Gandalf laughed and said, "Two Dao Masters, these two are my fellow Daoists in Valinor, I am a disciple of the God King, and Ossi and Uni are the most beloved servants of the Lord of the Waters, Uomu, they control the seas and storms, and they also control the waterway gateways of the Kingdom of God and Middle-earth. ”
Xian Yutong and Zhang Sanfeng bowed their hands, and the Sea King Oxiha laughed, and learned to bow back: "Welcome to Linton Xianweng and Hebian Gong." ”
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Thank you to Haiwang and Haihou Xian and his wife for greeting him." ”
Xian Yutong chuckled and said, "Thank you for your love, and I am deeply honored. ”
"You're welcome. "Owe it, Osi," the two of them will come to Valinor, and we will have more opportunities to get close. ”
Uni pointed to the brilliant Milky Way in the distance and said, "Amen Zhou has arrived, please come in!"
The three of them nodded and returned to the white boat, and then the flesh on the boat opened its eyes, and then the white boat flew off the sea and crashed into the bright Milky Way.
In the next moment, the Milky Way became a splash of fluorescent light like a broken rain curtain, and Xian Yutong saw the white ship cut through the fog, revealing the white sand beach and beautiful oasis below, as well as the ethereal and majestic mountain in the distance.
Just now, the three of them met with the Sea King couple, and it seemed that they had been talking for a long time, but the exchange between the primordial spirit and the soul of the gods was actually only for a moment.
The white ship was about to leave the ocean when the song sounded, and within a few seconds it had already flown away from Alda and into Amen Island.
After a while, the white boat landed steadily from the sky, and then drove forward for a kilometer in the calm sea and docked on the shore of Amen Island.
