Chapter 1066 1048. Greetings from Friends
Lady Galadriel seemed to have a deep friendship with Gandalf, and the two of them chatted some more on the platform.
The demon hunter who had already walked down saw Elrond standing on the stairs.
The elf lord stood on a small platform in the middle of the spiral staircase, looking at Lan En who was walking down.
“You’re welcome, Adanisil.”
Elrond nodded gracefully, causing Lan to raise a brow.
“What?”
“You have a request to fulfill, and I facilitated this meeting. When Lady Galadriel and Gandalf finish talking about business, she will still be there. Stay in Rivendell for a while, and you will have plenty of time to fulfill your entrustment."
Elrond shrugged.
“So I say: You’re welcome.”
I have to say that Elrond is quite humorous in his character when there are no emergencies or serious situations.
He took a few steps up the steps so that his head was level with Lan En.
This angle just allows you to see the platform above.
In the morning sunshine, Galadriel and Gandalf stood under the arch, talking to each other. The atmosphere between them was as natural and comfortable as familiar old friends.
With a smile on his face, Elrond tilted his head in the direction of the two people, looked at Lan and said.
"You know what's in this picture."
As he spoke, Elrond made a 'picture frame' with his hands, framing Galadriel, Gandalf, and the sun together.
"What is the youngest thing?"
Generally speaking, no one would choose the Suns, but Lan En blurted it out.
"The sun."
"Huh?"
Sure enough, Elrond had a choked expression on his face.
"Wait. Why?"
"Because I know you want to tease me."
The young witcher said with a sneer.
"Okay, now you can reveal the answer to this question. Brainteaser? Homophone? Or something else?"
"To be honest, when others want to say a joke or riddle, tell the answer in one breath. Saying it and then watching the person who asked the question awkwardly explain the punchline sometimes makes me feel happy."
But Elrond is not embarrassed.
“I didn’t expect that a joke could be played like this, it’s really profound. But maybe it’s because I’m not very good at it, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to see my awkward way of explaining the punchline today, Adanisil. .”
It was Lan En’s turn that the sneer on his face gradually froze.
"Wait. What?"
"It means: this is not a riddle or a brainteaser, young Lann."
Elrond had a relaxed look on his face smile.
"The sun in the sky is indeed the youngest thing in this picture."
Elrond led the way down.
"The sun and moon today rose at the beginning of the First Era, which also symbolizes the beginning of the First Era."
"Before the First Era, they were called by us elves [ The Age of the Two Trees], because what illuminated Arda and brought light to the world were two giant trees that grew in the blessed place."
"They were planted by Valar's own hands, one of gold and one of silver. , its light is divine and pure, illuminating everything."
"Mrs. Galadriel is one of the few people who still remains in Middle-earth and has witnessed the light of the twin sacred trees in the blessed land of the west. Elf. You have seen her eyes, haven't you?"
"The light of the twin sacred trees still remains in her eyes."
"Then the twin sacred trees were sucked by Morgoth and his helper from the Void Realm - the [giant spider] Ugoliant, who sucked the sap, injected venom and died."
" Then the Valar raised the flowers of the silver tree to the sky and became the moon, and the fruits of the golden tree rose to the sky and became the sun. The first era began."
The demon hunter blinked, feeling more certain.
A world with a clear creator god is bustling, and the sun and the moon have not been born for a long time.
Lane's surprised and dazed expression made Elrond smile.
Races with short life spans always find it hard to believe these things.
And all other races in this world can be said to have "short lifespans" for elves.
For the Elves are immortal, they are the firstborn children of Ilúvatar and will live until the destruction of Arda.
The death of the physical body is but a stage, and their souls will reunite in the halls of Mandos after the death of the physical body.
It is even possible to take time out from the halls of Mandos to play in Valinor, the blessed land of the Valar.
So Elrond was not surprised that Lann didn't know what the sun and moon above his head were.
Because most humans with limited life spans do not know these things.
At this time, Lan En's curiosity reminded him of the topic they discussed during dinner at Old Tom's house.
"So." The witcher asked hesitantly, "I heard people said that Arda used to be a round sky? When did it turn into a ball?"
"Ah, This happened not long ago," Elrond said easily while walking down the stairs.
But Lan En can no longer believe the local elf's words of 'not long'.
What does the devil know?
"It was at the end of the Second Age. Ilúvatar was angered by the Númenóreans and greatly changed the terrain of Arda and became a ball." "Later, the Valar and Vali Activities such as raising mountains and changing land masses are no longer allowed in Middle-earth. The dwarves have left. Gandalf followed closely.
Rivendell has restored its former tranquility and elegance.
Not long after talking to Gandalf, Lady Galadriel found Lan on the small bridge over the leaf-filled pool in Rivendell.
To be precise, it was not 'found', but Lan En was wandering around as usual, and when he turned the corner from the grass wall trimmed by the gardener, Mrs. Galadriel was already standing there On the bridge.
Her beautiful eyes looked down at the fallen leaves floating with the weak water.
Lan En was just stunned for a moment, and then walked to the side of Mrs. Galadriel in a normal and comfortable manner.
"Good afternoon, madam."
"Good afternoon, Adanisil."
Galadriel raised his head with interest and looked at Lan En beside me.
“Can you accompany me for a walk?”
"What an honor."
The two of them walked side by side on the small stone bridge. The red leaves not only floated into the pool, but also fell on the stone bridge.
The pool is so clear that it reflects the entire sky, the stone bridge, and the people on the bridge.
"That sword." As she walked, Mrs. Galadriel said, "Please take it out again and let me see it."
Even though Lan En can feel it , the elf queen beside her is deliberately suppressing her own power, but she can still bring out an ethereal echo when she speaks.
It was a huge and high-quality force reverberating.
An elf who is older than the sun and the moon. The elves in this world may really be able to fight with the gods, and maybe even win!
The Sword of the Lady of the Lake was pulled out by Lan En with one hand, and the light of the sword, as clear as lake water, fell into Galadriel's hand.
As soon as she got it, the Elf Queen raised her lips in a funny way.
“This is not the shape I taught her originally. I only taught her to forge swords, not swords.”
"This knife turns out to be indeed a long sword."
Lan En said in surprise, while looking sideways at the Elf Queen.
"It's just that my habits and skills are more suitable for the shape of the knife, so I asked the lady to help me change it. Did you teach her this forging technique?"
Garadriel His hands were playing with the long knife, skillfully and lightly.
At the same time, there was a reminiscing smile on her face.
"That was a long time ago."
"I was in Valinor, learning knowledge from many Valar and Vali. I didn't know it at that time, but I would be traveling eastward to Middle-earth."< br>
"Nimue suddenly appeared in Valinor at that time. She and I were still young at the time, and we were rare friends."
"We chatted under the Two Holy Trees, The Valar also view Nimue with kindness, and they don't mind if I share what I have learned with her."
At this point, a look appeared on Galadriel's face. The smiles of happiness and relief that appear when old people recall the beautiful days of the past.
But soon, this smile was mixed with a hint of pride and teasing.
"Of course, Nimue is not smart. She learns slowly and miscellaneously. In fact, she didn't learn anything at all. Compared with me."
Lan En said with this expression and tone During the turning point, his closed mouth made a muffled sound, and even this muffled sound was immediately choked back by him.
He is not stupid, don’t talk at this time!
There was a soft sound of "ding" that echoed constantly, and Galadriel's long and elegant knuckles struck Arondette's sword.
There was a smile on her lips as if she were laughing at a friend's joke, which made the sacred and noble light around her become more approachable.
"Thank you for being so good, Lan En. Nimue was stupid again. She actually dared to convert the sword shape I taught her into a sword without any processing."
"This But Aulë, the god of craftsmen, taught me the skills.”
Garadriel’s voice was a little deep, and seemed mature and steady.
Therefore, the lethality in comments cannot be underestimated.
Lan En already felt the corners of his mouth twitching.
Galadriel and Lann walked across the stone bridge and strolled through the neatly and elegantly manicured gardens, which revealed the artistic quality of the elves.
The Elf Queen holds the knife behind her back and swipes lightly. On a green leaf by the roadside, there was a shallow scratch that did not even cut through the thickness of the leaf.
"Well, she also attached a unique magic to this sword that she researched herself? That's really a bit of progress."
After a series of comments about guns and sticks, added Ladrelle suddenly stopped in the garden.
The teasing and evil smile just now disappeared from her beautiful face.
She looked down at the long knife in her hand, and in the end she only had a nostalgic smile.
"Is she okay now, Adanisil?"
Galadriel whispered, her fingers gently, as if touching her best friend. , brushing against Arondette's blade.
"The Lady of the Lake is well now, ma'am."
Lan En said sincerely.
The Elf Queen responded with a grateful smile.
“Thank you.”
