As early as before the sun had risen, some blessed creatures were able to awaken in Quavier under the shining of the stars, and they multiplied and lived here for a long time. They were the elves, the firstborn children of Yinluvita.
Cirdan was born during this time period. Like Thingol, the High King of the Sindar tribe, he is a descendant of the Enel couple, one of the first three pairs of elves to awaken. They are the ancestors of the Teleri tribe.
As an elf born in the starlight, Cirdan has experienced a lot in his life. Not only did he participate in the great migration of the three elf races, he also participated in most of the wars that took place in the past seven thousand years, and contributed to
A lot of hard work was put into it.
The most commendable thing is that Cirdan's shipbuilding skills are extremely high. Thousands of years ago, he could build ships that sailed in the sea. And that ship made many contributions in the War of Wrath and was praised by the Valar.
The canonized white ship "Vengelot" was built by Cirdan with Eärendil's help.
With such outstanding shipbuilding skills, it stands to reason that Childan could have sailed to the land of immortality that he longed for. However, he did not do this because he was shouldering an extraordinary mission, which was to bring all the people together.
The elves were sent to Valinor.
This is an extremely difficult task, and Cirdan has been working on it for thousands of years. Since Morgoth was defeated, the king of the Sindar tribe has settled in Gray Harbor with the elves who follow him.
He came down and built many large ships there to fulfill his mission. Even five wizards who came from Valinor to Middle-earth were received by Cirdan, and he took a fancy to the digital Maia at a glance.
, Gandalf the Wiseest.
During the meeting, he kept paying attention to Gandalf from time to time. The two had not seen each other for hundreds of years since the last meeting of the White Council. At that time, Gandalf declined the offer to be the leader. Strangely,
Erdan was a little disappointed by this, but he was not prejudiced against the gray robe wizard, and believed that Gandalf must have his own ideas for doing this.
Sure enough, in the past few hundred years, Gandalf has been traveling around Middle-earth, giving advice to the kings of various forces to fight against the darkness. Gandalf will naturally appear in front of you when needed, but if you
It would be extremely difficult to find him. Such a situation is naturally not suitable for him to be the leader of the Bai Dao Society.
Cirdan, on the other hand, is not very interested in the battle against Sauron. He has his own mission in Middle-earth. As for fighting, he prefers adventure in the sea. The last time he was in Lothlorien
Childan did not attend the White Council meeting held at that time. At that time, he was driving a sea ship on the rough sea.
Of course, he will still lend a helping hand when his allies need it. After all, after the fall of Gil-galad, Cirdan has become the leader of the Linton elves, controlling a powerful elven force. When his relatives or allies are attacked,
When darkness invades, he will definitely dedicate his own strength to it.
But if the enemy does not invade in large numbers, the elves living in Linton prefer a stable life. They are keen on admiring the beauty of the sea at the beach, or setting up a boat to go on a quick adventure. It is worth mentioning
, Linton elves like silver very much, and have outstanding skills in making silver jewelry and silver tableware. They use it as a commodity to trade with forces across Middle-earth.
As the leader of the Linton elves, Chierdan also strongly supports his relatives in maintaining such a life. The far-sighted and extremely wise Chierdan knows that the elves' role has been played out in the first and second eras.
, in the Third Age and the following years, the protagonists are humans, especially the strongest among humans, the Númenóreans.
Cirdan had already heard about Alan, who was sitting next to Gandalf in the meeting. After all, he was the one who killed the evil dragon Smaug. There will always be some elves who are keen to travel around Middle-earth to spread such news.
Take it to Gray Port. Not long ago, there was also a caravan that purchased a large amount of silver jewelry and silver tableware from the Kingdom of Linton in the name of King Rovanian. If Childan remembers correctly,
If so, the wise and wise human king mentioned by the young leader of the caravan was the young man in front of him.
During the meeting, Cirdan observed the tense atmosphere between Saruman, Alan and Gandalf. After all, they had reached the point where they were about to take action. It was easy to find this. However, due to the distance, he
He was not aware of the underhanded trick Saruman used against Alan. After all, no matter how old he was, Cirdan was just a gray elf who had never seen the Two Holy Trees. He may be very wise and prestigious, but his strength
Compared with other elders at the meeting, he was still a little worse. Of course, the elders here did not include Allen, who was fully armed at the meeting. No matter from which aspect, Allen was still the weakest one at the time.
one person.
From Childan's own perspective at the time, most of the conflicts that occurred at the meeting came from Allen's rude words to Saruman, although those words were very strange and seemed to contain some meaning that was not easy to understand.
, but Allen's expression and tone at that time had completely shown his disdain for Saruman. You must know that the white-robed wizard in front of him is the nominal leader of the White Council, and he came to Middle-earth from Valinor all the way.
As the messenger, Childan felt that no matter what happened, Allen should not treat a wise man who was committed to fighting the darkness like this.
So whether it was the end of the meeting or the companionship along the way, Cirdan just listened quietly to Elrond and Allen's family affairs, and never took the initiative to say a word to the two of them. He could
He felt that Allen wanted to make friends with him. After all, the young man's eyes that looked over him from time to time were too eager. However, Childan, who already had prejudices in his heart, was not willing to make friends with Allen. However, this man with extremely strong personality
The elf king with good demeanor did not show any embarrassing look on his face. He always smiled and nodded in response to Allen's greetings.
Alan, who had been talking to Elrond all the way, naturally didn't know what Cirdan was thinking. In addition to hoping that Elder Elrond would help him connect with Arnor's descendants, he talked eloquently along the way.
At the same time, he also held a little extravagant hope in his heart, that is, when Elrond heard that his situation was so miserable, might he send some powerful elf warriors to help him fight this battle? Of course, Allen had no idea about it.
It's difficult to have too much hope here. It's good to succeed. Allen will also prepare some expensive gifts in return. If not, then nothing. He doesn't have any better way. Is it possible?
Is it okay to suddenly kneel down and recognize "Grandpa"?
As for Cirdan and Allen on the side, they were planning to find ways to make friends with Elrond after a detailed discussion. At this time, Allen felt a trace of resentment towards Gandalf in his heart, because after the meeting,
, Gandalf disappeared again, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Alan. If the gray robe wizard was here, he could completely act as a middleman and introduce Alan himself to Chierdan, and then the rest would happen naturally.
It will be very simple.
However, things are always unpredictable. Allen's words in front of Elrond made Cirdan get to know the young human in front of him again. At this time, the young king seemed to behave completely differently from the meeting.
It's not the same person. At that time, he was still a reckless young man who was sharp-edged and ignorant of etiquette, but now he has become a wise king who is far-sighted, worried about his people, and can be considerate of others. As for what Allen said at this moment
Whether it is sincere or not, Cirdan does not doubt this, because Elrond, with the help of "Viya", has the ability to see into people's hearts. Maybe Allen can hide something from him, but "deception" is almost impossible.
possible.

"As far as I know, there are indeed a lot of Arno's descendants. You use their lost heirlooms as a stepping stone to establish friendship. It seems to be a thing with a high success rate, but if this matter is handled
If it's not good, it's easy to have some other meanings in it. What I want to say is, if they are unwilling to send troops to help you attack the Dongyi people, are you still willing to return the "Star of Elendil" to those who are there?
A nomad living in the wilderness?"
Cirdan, who temporarily put aside his prejudices, suddenly inserted such a paragraph in the gap after listening to the conversation between Allen and Elrond. He was determined to help Allen in this matter, as he had misunderstood others before.
At the same time, Cirdan also wants to know whether the human youth in front of him will use the "Star of Elendil" as a bargaining chip to force the northern wanderers to participate in a war that does not belong to them. This determines whether the young man in front of him is worthy of Lin
The Dun elves formed an alliance with them, and Cirdan believed that in front of Elrond, Alan's answers would hardly be false.
Sure enough, Cirdan's problem was also concerned by Elrond. In fact, the "grandfather" of the Arnor royal family also thought of this, but in his concept, Allen also had the Númenorean
With his bloodline, he shouldn't do anything too extreme, and as an elder, he was embarrassed to ask such a question.
"Sir, I think the person who should take charge of the northern wanderers on Estel's behalf at this time should be his mother, Ms. Gilraen. Regardless of whether this venerable lady agrees to my conditions or not, I will transfer the "Star of Elendil"
"Return it to them. In fact, this treasure is just a stepping stone. I will pay other prices as reward to thank them for their help. The most important thing is that they are willing to sit down and listen to my ideas. In fact
Actually, they are very secretive in their behavior, and at the same time they are not willing to suddenly come into contact with strangers.”
Cirdan took a brief look at Elrond's expression, and after seeing nothing strange, he nodded and continued: "In fact, I have had several simple meetings with Ms. Gilraen. The Kingdom of Linton and Arno
The descendants have always maintained a good friendship. If you are willing, I can vouch for this matter."
Allen didn't know why Cirdan made such a decision. Although it is always good to have an elder to guarantee him, as long as Elrond recommends this matter, the probability of success is actually very high.
, Childan's guarantee is actually redundant. Allen feels that this goodwill cannot be used in this matter. This is an extremely wasteful behavior.
"Sir, thank you very much for your helping hand in this matter. However, I have entrusted Lord Elrond with this matter. As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters, so I will not trouble you. However,
I have always made a merciless request, hoping to get help from the Linton Kingdom, and I hope you can consider it."
"oh?"
Seeing that there was no hesitation on Childan's face, Allen briefly talked about the need for ships. Childan said that there was no problem at all, although the elves of Linton Kingdom were more interested in building sea ships.
Ships, but they can also build ships for use on rivers. Cirdan generously said that he happened to have a few Sindar elves with high enough shipbuilding skills. After returning to Gray Harbor, he would send them to the Long Lake.
Town, where he helped Allen complete the construction of the navy, and also went to the Woodland Kingdom to see relatives he had not seen for a long time, killing two birds with one stone.
Allen was naturally overjoyed by Childan's unusually generous help. He even said that he would prepare a valuable gift to thank the Linton Kingdom for its help. Childan waved his hand and refused, and instead invited Allen to talk to him if he had time.
, you can come to Gray Port as a guest and take a look at the charm of the sea. Faced with Chierdan who had just helped him a lot, Allen naturally couldn't refuse and even said that he would go to Gray Port at the right time.
After all was said and done, the leaders of the three forces started chatting mode during the long journey. After all, thanks to Allen's efforts, the current Antonin River Valley can be said to be very safe. They have a large number of
Use your time and leisure to recall past events.
Cirdan and Elrond actually knew each other very early on. The time when they first met can even be traced back to the First Era. After all, Cirdan and Elrond's father Eärendil
They are good friends, one generation older than Elrond in every sense. They have countless common languages to chat with, and Allen benefits from the documents that record various major events. Occasionally, he can communicate between the two
The elf elder inserted a few words into his words, and at the same time learned some secrets that he didn't know before.
Among them, the two things that concerned Allen the most were the Silmarils that once belonged to the Noldor clan. One of them was thrown into the deep sea by Maglor, one of the sons of Fëanor, in the Frohel Ice Bay.
It happened that Cirdan happened to talk about his friend Ulmo, Lord of the Waters. At that time, when the two of them were sighing at the beauty of the three diamonds, they accidentally talked about the whereabouts of the diamonds, as the sea.
Ulmo, the king of the world, naturally knew where the diamond that fell into the sea was, but Ulmo, who had no greed, did not put away the diamond, but let it lie quietly in the deep sea.
middle.
Another thing is that with the return of Sauron, the remnants of the former Kingdom of Angmar received reinforcements from unknown sources and became a little arrogant. Some humans living on the edge seemed to be attacked by these dark servants.
, According to the descriptions of the two people, Allen felt that these orcs were probably the remnants of those who escaped in the battle of Gushan. However, these guys did not need to worry about Allen. The two elders in front of him would send soldiers.
To expel them, it depends on the wishes of the two elders as to whether they need help from the northern vagrants.
Running along Lothlorien on the vast wasteland, if you want to reach the high pass, it will take more than a month, and this journey took Allen and the others less than two months.
We just finished walking because the three of us are all talkative people and spent a lot of time just chatting along the way.
However, the gathering always ends with farewell. Allen, Cirdan and Elrond's team parted ways at the old ferry. After more than three months, Allen returned to his territory again.
