"It's a great honor to meet you, King Elrond. I am Jiang Hua." Jiang Hua greeted him deeper. Aragorn did not need to introduce him, because he was raised by King Elrond. Aragorn introduced the four hobbits: "This is …Frodo…Sam…Perry…Merry…”
The group followed King Elrond into Rivendell. They didn't go far before they saw Bilbo Baggins, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. At this moment, he looked much older and his hair was completely white. It must be that the Lord of the Rings was not there. Because of the people around me, I lost my ability to delay aging.
"Bilbo..." Frodo was happy and distressed when he saw the old Bilbo Baggins. He was happy to see his uncle and nephew again in a foreign land, but he was distressed because of Bilbo's demeanor. How long has it been? It’s only been half a month, and it’s really heartbreaking to watch.
I met my relatives and nephews here. The Hobbit population is very small, so they are all related by relatives. Bilbo Baggins was also very excited: "Hello, Frodo, Sam, Piri and Merry, you all are here. Yes, it’s great to see you.”
"Bilbo..." Sam, Piri and Merry also stepped forward to hug Bilbo Baggins and began to talk about what they had experienced these days.
"Jiang Hua, are you here too? When I left, Gandalf mentioned asking sir for help. I didn't expect to meet him in Rivendell." Bilbo was also very happy to see Jiang Hua, although we didn't have many interactions in the previous year. But it's still familiar, and Jiang Hua also agrees with the changes he made to the Hobbit Village.
Jiang Hua patted his shoulder, and a burst of magic power surged. The color of Bilbo Baggins' hair became darker visibly to the naked eye, his skin became rosy, and his wrinkles became smoother. This surprised the people around him. Although the elf is immortal, but There is still nothing we can do about rejuvenation
"What...what's going on? Do you also have the Lord of the Rings?" Bilbo felt the vitality in his body, and then looked at the skin on the back of his hands that had become tight, and asked in surprise. He also lived in Rivendell. After so long, he also learned from King Elrond that the reason for his longevity was the effect of the Supreme Lord of the Rings. Although he only carried it with him, it still had some effect.
"The magic ring is just a dead thing," Jiang Hua said calmly.
Jiang Hua's methods and tone surprised the people around him. The nineteen Lord's Rings were regarded as treasures by elves, dwarves and humans, especially the Supreme Lord's Ring, which caused chaos in the Middle-earth world. But under Jiang Hua's words Here, these Lord of the Rings are like weeds on the roadside and are not worth mentioning. This tone is a bit loud, what is his identity? Maia didn't have this tone. Could it be that she was a Valar, but there was no such person among the fifteen Valar? Could it be that Ilúvatar had created sixteen Vaiya instead of fifteen?
While talking, a group of people came to a platform. This is a good place to enjoy the scenery. Sitting here, the female elves presented fruits. Every elves here are very beautiful and exquisite, even the male elves are the same. They are beautifully dressed. His clothes and armor make him look noble and elegant in his movements. This may be the characteristic of the immortal race. After living for a long time, knowledge will naturally accumulate. As the first batch of creatures created by Vera, Che is still an immortal race. Elves also have noble capital
At this time, Aragorn revealed the purpose of his trip: "The Lord of the Rings is now in Frodo's hand. Gandalf asked them to meet at Bree Village, but they didn't expect that the Ringwraith had already arrived nearby. I was on the Prancing Pony. We met them at the inn and brought them back, hoping to find a solution here. Maybe Gandalf will come here with an idea."
King Elrond looked at Frodo and said: "The age of the elves is coming to an end. We will move to Valinor. It is best for the Lord of the Rings to be destroyed. Otherwise, human beings will not be able to withstand the gathering power of Mordor with their fragility." Orc"
"The orcs are gathering, preparing for a war? And how to destroy the Lord of the Rings? Keeping it is always a disaster." Jiang Hua asked, looking at King Elrond who was leaning on the railing of the platform.
"The Supreme Lord of the Rings was smelted by Sauron from the Doomsday Mountain. Only the lava of the Doomsday Volcano can destroy it. Sauron is already gathering an army of orcs. It must be for the Supreme Lord of the Rings. Sauron's current power is all in the demonic world. Ring, if he gets the Ring and the power of recovery, the entire Middle-earth continent will be devastated." King Elrond looked at the sky in the canyon: "But Rivendell will not be able to save it."
"That's it. The Nazgul already know that the Supreme Lord of the Rings is in Rivendell. I believe that the orc army is not far away from the expedition. How should we learn about this next?" Jiang Hua pinched a lychee-sized fruit and sent it to him. When I put it in my mouth, my teeth broke through the skin, and the inside was as crispy as a pear.
"This is a matter for the entire continent, so we need to gather the elites of each race. I will send envoys to each force and ask them to send representatives to discuss." King Elrond thought for a while and said: "If you want to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings, you must To secretly send the Lord of the Rings into Mount Doom, we will definitely need to assemble an elite team. The large-scale escort will definitely be noticed. Then the orcs will attack with all their strength. We may not be able to save it. It is best to have about ten people."
"You can do it if you have an idea." Jiang Hua ate the fruit. The elves are indeed creatures close to nature. These fruits taste very good. Maybe Vera specially prepared food for them when he created the elves: "I am a better person. I have a craving for food and have a hobby of collecting those delicious fruits. Can you give me some fruit food seeds?"
"It's our honor that you like the food we prepared. I'll ask someone to prepare some seeds." He was talking about the Lord of the Rings, but Jiang Hua made a sudden change and talked about fruits. King Ailong was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly. , and then let the elves prepare to go. Jiang Hua was not idle either. With a wave of his hand, many kinds of fruits appeared on the stone table. There were also some seed saplings on the side of the table. These were taken out by Jiang Hua from the space and appeared in his hand. A book: "It is rude to come and not reciprocate. This is the fruit I collected. Come and try it. This book is a way to cultivate it."
King Elrond blankly took the book of cultivation handed over by Jiang Hua and looked at the fruits on the table and the seed saplings on the side. This wizard is really a bit careless and does not do his job. The elves and hobbits around him There was also a human who was very speechless. Four and a half-year-old hobbits reached out to the fruit on the table.
After chatting for a while, King Elrond asked people to prepare rooms for everyone. Jiang Hua was not polite and moved into an open room, because Rivendell is located in a valley, and the climate is pleasant and there is no bad weather. Even if it is an open room, A transparent room will not make people feel uncomfortable
Jiang Hua took out a lounge chair and a coffee table, brewed a pot of good tea, lit a pipe of tobacco, and looked at the picturesque Rift Valley.
After staying for two days, Gandalf arrived at Rivendell on a giant eagle. Looking at him in a panic, Jiang Hua joked: "What's going on? Didn't you go find Saruman? It looks like this." Got robbed”
Since Jiang Hua saw Gandalf on the giant eagle, it turned into a burst of smoke and flew over, so he was the first to arrive. Gandalf smiled bitterly: "The result of this trip is much more serious than being robbed. Saruman has betrayed We, in collusion with Sauron, are creating a large number of orcs in an attempt to seize the Supreme Lord of the Rings by force. I believe you have also encountered the Nazgul. Thank you for protecting Frodo and the others when they came to Rivendell."
"You're welcome. We are also friends. We can't just watch them in danger. It's just a little effort." After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he turned around and saw King Elon rushing over, as well as Yawen and Aragorn.
"Oluoin, why are you in such a mess? Frodo said you went to find Saruman. What happened?" King Elrond looked at Gandalf who was in embarrassment and asked hurriedly. You must know that Gandalf was looking for Saruman. Saruman's, he is the Speaker of the White Council
The White Council is an organization established by wizards and elves, including the white robe wizard Saruman, the gray robe wizard Gandalf, the shipbuilder Cirdan, the elf queen Galadriel, and the half-elf King Elrond.
"Saruman betrayed us and is now preparing to launch a war against us with Sauron. This time I went to Saruman to find a way to solve the problem of the Supreme Ring. Unexpectedly, as the Speaker, he has betrayed us. We are fighting After a fight, but my abilities were limited, he finally imprisoned him on the Orthanc Stone Tower. In the end, he had no choice but to ask for help from the giant eagle clan, and then he was able to escape." Gandalf said with a look of sadness and anger, and also said to the giant eagle next to him Said: "Wind King Guan He, thank you again for your help."
The giant eagle nodded, flapped its wings with both feet, flew into the air from the platform, and flew away with a long cry. The giant eagle family is the subordinate of Manwe, the leader of Valar. They can understand human speech, are intelligent and powerful, and the giant eagle clan The leader of the eagle is called Thorondo. He and his people will help elves and humans from time to time.
The descendant of Thorondo, the Wind King Guan He, is now the leader of the Giant Eagle Clan. Their tribe now lives on the Misty Mountains. Guan He has a good relationship with Gandalf. This is also the reason why he rushed there in person as soon as he received Gandalf's request for help. Reason for rescue
In this short period of time, Jiang Hua has collected the cells and tissues of the giant eagle. This giant eagle clan is also an immortal race. Its body structure is still different from that of the ordinary goshawk. This does not mean that the goshawk can be directly enlarged. It has a special structure
"Gandalf, the Supreme Lord of the Rings cannot stay here. The entire Middle-earth world is under threat. I have sent envoys to invite the leaders of other races to come and discuss how to save this endangered Middle-earth world. The age of elves has ended. My people are leaving the seaport and moving to Valinor. Who are you going to ask for help when we leave? The dwarves? They all hide in caves to dig for treasures and never care about other people's affairs. If the orcs attack humans first, they will not be able to help them at all. I won't help." As an elf, King Elrond does not look down upon rude and rude dwarves.
But based on Gandalf's understanding of the dwarves, they can really do such a thing, so he still agrees with King Elrond's arrangement, but he still expressed his own thoughts: "We must put our hope in humans."
"Humans?" Although King Elrond had no aversion to humans, the fragile souls and bodies of humans, as well as the constant wars between humans, made King Elrond surprised by Gandalf's proposal: "Humans are too fragile. Their race are declining, their dignity and glory long forgotten, the survival of the Ring is due to human frailty, I was there at the time, Gandalf."
