Chapter 1068 1050. Galloping
When talking about 'those things', Elrond's usually steady and calm voice could not help but reveal solemnity.
Sauron, the former dark enemy, forged sixteen rings. Disguising himself as an elf called the 'King of Gifts', he gave these rings to the most powerful and powerful hero kings among the dwarves and humans.
Since the possession of these rings, the greed of the dwarves has become more serious, and they have become generally obsessed with gold jewelry.
The dwarf cities are also digging deeper and deeper in their increasingly enthusiastic mining wave.
To this day, even the royal bloodline of the Turin clan suffers from a mental disease called "Dragon Disease".
The resistance of humans is not as good as that of dwarves.
The nine kings who accepted the ring were all leaders of ancient and powerful countries.
But with the erosion of the ring, they became Sauron's servants from soul to body.
Wearing black robes and riding black horses, they galloped through the night.
The nine Nazgul known as Sauron.
The Witch-King of Angmar is the leader of the nine ring spirits.
“When?”
Lan En began to enter working mode, he asked simply.
"The sooner the better." Elrond also stood up from the chair, "That's why I personally sent you this good sword."
The witcher nodded and began to simply pack his things and prepare to set off.
Elrond stood behind Lan En, watching him work neatly.
“I also want to thank you, Adanisil.”
“Thank me? For what?”
“It’s been a long time since Lady Galadriel I feel relaxed and happy like these days.”
Elrond walked to the window, looked at the warm sunshine outside the window, and spoke softly.
Lan En turned his head curiously, but continued to pack things in his hands.
"According to what you said, she is the last elf in Middle-earth who has bathed in the light of the Twin Holy Trees. These days, I am just happy because I heard the news from my old friend. I actually didn't do anything." What’s the relationship between this and Lady Galadriel?”
After all, it sounds like Elrond’s concern for Lady Galadriel goes beyond an ordinary relationship.
“She is my wife’s mother.”
"Are you married?" As soon as Lan En said it subconsciously, he realized something was wrong. "Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't seen your family in the past few weeks."
"What about your wife? Is she not in Rivendell? Is she in Lothlórien?"
"No." Elrond did not look back. He turned his back to Lan En and stood in the sunlight projected by the window. "She is no longer alive."
Lan En pursed his lips and his expression froze.
“Oh, but please don’t get me wrong, she did not enter the palace of Mandos.”
Elrond seemed to know Lan En's reaction, so he deliberately spoke in a nonchalant tone.
“She was captured by orcs and tortured. Her body and mind have reached their limits, so we sent her to Valinor, hoping that the Blessed Land can give her recuperation.”
"Sorry." Lan En said apologetically.
He could tell that Elrond felt bad.
“No, it’s nothing.”
The elf lord was as calm as ever on the surface. He shook his head and walked out with Lan En who had already packed up.
"It's time to take action, Adanisil. In order to prevent you from not knowing the way, I also found a guide for you."
"Who is it?"
Lan En asked, and as he walked out of the room, he blew a loud whistle.
The sharp whistle spread far away, and finally there was a messy crashing sound in the trees across the room, separated by a small waterfall.
Then the flannel ball pressed his little helmet and emerged from the messy trees.
“Here I come, meow!”
It also had a small dried fish in its mouth.
The elves in Rivendell really like it and Qilin very much, and they are always friendly and feed them many things.
The velvet ball very nimbly jumped on the smooth rocks exposed under the waterfall, and then landed on Lan En's shoulder.
"Your paws are wet, flannel ball!"
"Don't worry, meow! Are we finally going out on adventures again?"
Elrond had a smile on his face , watched the velvet ball grasp Lan En's shoulders before continuing.
"Your acquaintance, he should be waiting for you outside Rivendell."
——
The sound of horse hooves trampling on rocks echoed on the narrow but deep rocky path.
This is the way out of Rivendell.
It's strange that Lan En remembers that the way in is not here, but it may be that the magic that envelopes the entire glen is taking effect.
“唏伦LU!”
“Click! Touch!”
Qilin is too big for an ordinary horse, and the trail is too narrow for it, which makes it uncomfortable.
So Gu Long muttered and hissed, while using the unicorn horn on his head to hit the rocks that made the road too narrow.
The crystal horns that were hammered off by the Golden Lion with its fists appear to be invincible when faced with ordinary rocks.
Paired with Gu Long's physical fitness, Qilin can basically knock down a rock the size of half a person with just one bump of its head.
It was actually a little happy to leave Rivendell.
Gu Long's living area is very large, so Lan En has never restricted Qilin's freedom and let it run around as it pleases.
But although Rivendell is comfortable and the elves also like it, Qilin feels a little too small and suffocated after staying there for a long time. After walking out of the deep valley, the sight was once again a large meadow.
Meadows that have turned yellow since autumn grow on small soil slopes, and these continuous, high and low soil slopes extend all the way to the east.
In the end, the power of the map tiles piled up peaks one after another, forming a continuous mountain range.
The sun shone slantly on those towering mountains, and from time to time the shadows of clouds drifted across.
Lonely and majestic.
“This is it, meow? No one is there!”
The flannel ball climbed onto Qilin’s head, grabbed its horns and straightened up, with its little paws still forming tents on its eye sockets and pointing in all directions. look.
“No, it’s already here.”
Lan En's ears heard distant noises and he turned his head.
Behind them, the sounds of tramping on the ground and sliding on the grass became louder and louder.
Several big rabbits jumped out from the other side of a small slope!
Their big feet pattered on the ground, pulling wooden sleds behind them.
“Whoops!”
Qilin snorted because he saw an acquaintance and took two steps away.
The big rabbits made a sharp turn and threw the wooden sled attached to the back to the position where Qilin took two steps back.
Obviously, these Rothgarburg rabbits are also very familiar with Qilin.
"Good morning! Lan En, the cute kitten! And the cute unicorn!"
The sloppy old man on the sled jumped down happily, and then stroked the unicorn's hair , and scratched the flannel ball's chin.
"Radagast, are you the guide?"
Lan sat on Qilin's back and asked with his head tilted.
"That's awesome of you. You didn't even bother to say a word and just left me here."
Radagast didn't even turn his head to Lan En. No, everything is full of unicorns and flannel balls.
"Then what do you want me to do? I originally sent you out of the Dark Forest, but didn't you come out? I even let you find the elves! But I have to go back quickly. Who knows those poor and helpful people? How will species be bullied by darkness? ”
"Tsk."
The demon hunter made a dissatisfied click and waved his hand, and the matter was over.
"How did Elrond inform you? He was able to drag you out of the forest."
"Hey, I didn't want to come out either. But Lady Galadriel sent A butterfly sent me a message.”
Radagast took off his hat, revealing his hair, which was plaited and made into bird's nests.
The three little birds in the sky immediately returned to their nests, and then Radagast put his hat on again.
The sloppy old man's face became serious, his voice lowered, and he leaned forward to approach Lan En.
“She also said that the situation this time is not optimistic.”
“What was the outcome of the meeting?”
“If you really want to know, you should go yourself Meeting.”
Lan En first complained on the horse, and then replied to him seriously.
"Nothing has come of it. The one in the white robe among your wizards keeps saying, 'It's not that serious', 'Don't act rashly', 'Don't create panic' and so on. I think he just wants to minimize the big issue. Then the world will be peaceful."
"But from my observation, when Elrond and Lady Galadriel saw the dagger we brought over, they still resisted in their hearts. It’s time to recognize reality.”
“Reality.” Radagast muttered worriedly, “Darkness is coming.”
“Okay, let’s go.” En tugged at Qilin's mane.
Gu Long turned in a cooperative direction, and the large and drapey rune cloth revealed the strong figure of Qilin in the rolling waves, as well as the surging muscles under the blue and white scales.
“Let’s go to the Rudolf Plateau first and see if the evil spirit we dispersed before is actually the Ring Spirit.”
Radagast nodded heavily. head, and then stepped on his wooden sled again.
The chaotic sounds of the big rabbits treading the ground are intertwined with the crisp sound of the unicorn's horse hooves.
Run north from the broad meadow.
Rivendell is located in the middle of the west side of the long Misty Mountains, while the Rudolph Plateau is to the north.
Not far away from Rivendell, the earth still remains green and beautiful, and the occasional yellow also brings the refreshing feeling of autumn.
Although the road is crude, it is fairly smooth. You can still see humans or dwarves on the road, and you can occasionally see simple wooden cabins and hotels dozens of miles apart.
Most of them would be dumbfounded when Lan En rode a unicorn galloping past, as if the 'giant and giant horse' passing in front of them all jumped out of the story.
But as we gradually go deeper into the wilderness, the number of human traces begins to decrease.
The roads are also rough and the smell of earth and grass is no longer fresh.
You can even see eerie hills reaching into the sky from a distance, covered with dry and twisted trees, as well as the ruins of a very strange old castle.
Everything looks a little shadowy.
“These are all signs of the spread of evil!”
Radagast said this while looking at these grasslands and forests sadly.
In this world, evil forces not only bring a strange atmosphere, but this atmosphere also has a real impact on the environment.
Under such an environment, the big rabbits and the unicorn galloped for about two days and arrived at the Rudolf Plateau.
