Lothlórien was one of the few elven territories at the end of the Third Age, and it was also the most prosperous and powerful one.
There are many kinds of elves living there, including the Noldor elves, the Sindar elves, and the native Nandor elves (the Silvan elves are a branch of the Nandor elves).
It is now ruled by Celeborn and his wife Lady Galadriel.
Celeborn is the royal family of the Sindar elves. If we talk about genealogy, he may be related to Thranduil of the Woodland Kingdom.
And his wife, Lady Galadriel's experience is far more remarkable than Celeborn's.
She is a light elf who has bathed in the light of the twin sacred trees, a princess of the Noldor Elf clan, and is the most powerful elf in the Zhongzhou Continent. She protects and controls the water ring "Nanya", one of the three elf rings.
And now, this noble and powerful lady stood in front of Allen.
She looked at Allen, who had his head lowered, and her gentle eyes seemed to see through Allen's heart.
In such a situation, Allen simply couldn't look at this lady for a long time.
He could only take a quick look at the lady's face, which seemed brighter than the stars and softer than the moonlight, and then lowered his head.
There are many secrets in his mind that cannot be revealed.
And this kind of concealment made the shame in Allen's heart even stronger.
Until a soft voice sounded in his ears.
"There seem to be too many things hidden in your heart. There is no need to think too much. You have the character of being kind to the weak and the courage to resist the darkness. This noble soul is far more important than other things. Just raise your head, you don't have to be like this.
"
Soothed by the voice, Allen raised his head and saw Mrs. Galadriel looking at him with a smile.
She spoke softly: "Mislandir told me that he got important information from you. After a while, we will have a meeting that may require your participation. Stay here, Gala.
The people will treat you well."
Allen nodded involuntarily in front of this lady and could not say anything else.
He settled here.
Gandalf did not panic. Lothlórien was indeed a very, very beautiful place.
It is now the autumn moon, and the beautiful trees that only grow here, the japonica, have silver bark and golden leaves.
During the day, under the sunlight, it shines brightly. When a gust of wind blows, the leaves are like a golden ocean floating in front of your eyes.
And at night, the place is lit up with magical lights from elves, and at a glance it looks like bright stars in the sky.
The elves here are also very hospitable to their friends, and they treated Alan with every possible care.
Living here, Allen really has a feeling that he doesn't know how time is flowing.
He only felt that after a short moment, Gandalf appeared in front of him again and informed him that the meeting was about to begin.
At first, Alan actually had a little problem with Gandalf.
After this guy took Allen to this place, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Allen was left alone at the door for a long time, until Lady Galadriel appeared in front of him.
However, this little concern has long since disappeared under the comfortable life of Lothlórien.
Now, when Allen heard that he was asked to go to the meeting, he followed Gandalf directly into the meeting place.
It's said to be a venue, but it's just a small open-air banquet hall.
At this time, three people were already sitting inside. In addition to Mrs. Galadriel, whom Allen already knew, there was another elf.
Although his face shows no trace of age, his black hairline seems to be a little bit backward.
A pair of gray eyes were very bright, as if containing the brilliance of stars. At this time, he looked at Allen with soft eyes and nodded to Allen.
This is the lord of Rivendell, one of the three elven rings, the holder of the Ring of Air "Viya", Lord Elrond.
This half-elf lord is very curious about Allen. In fact, he has a little ability to see through people's hearts.
At this time, he didn't see any clues from Allen's heart, at least he shouldn't be a lackey of the dark force.
But the fact that Isildur possessed the Supreme Lord of the Rings was probably only known to a few people even at the beginning.
Even at the beginning of the era, there were some specious legends, but they have long since disappeared with the years.
Over the years, Elrond only wrote these things in his books and did not tell many people.
What he was curious about was how Allen's tribe knew.
However, as a very, very kind-hearted half-elf, as long as Allen is not a minion of the dark power, he is not willing to pursue too much.
The other one is an old human, wearing a white robe, with his hair, eyebrows, and beard neatly trimmed.
At this time, the expression on his face was very serious, as if he was trying to suppress his anger.
His eyes were bright and sharp, staring intently at the approaching Gandalf and Alan. This was the guardian of Isengard, Saruman.
Saruman didn't know where the annoying Gandalf got the news about the One Ring, and he happened to meet his men who were sent to monitor the Orcs near the Golden Luanwei River.
This is not good news for him. He can no longer hide his knowledge of the Lord of the Rings.
Suluman was also thinking about how to divert the attention of Gandalf and others so that he could have more time to find the Supreme Ring.
The White Council actually has five members. The other one is Cirdan who lives in Gray Harbor, the legendary elf who gave the Ring of Fire to Gandalf.
But as a navigator, Cirdan was not in the Gray Port at this time.
Therefore, only four wise men participated in this meeting, namely Lady Galadriel, the white-robed wizard Saruman, the Lord of Rivendell Elrond and the gray-robed wizard Gandalf.
Allen can be considered a participant, but in the meeting, he only listens most of the time.
No, he only listens. Anyone picked here can probably hang Allen up and beat him.
Allen didn't want to stand out, he felt that being able to participate in such a meeting was already a worthwhile trip.
However, even if the participants are all famous wise men in Zhongzhou Continent, situations often occur at the meeting.
First, Gandalf told the news he had received and what he saw at Golden Luanwei.
Then Saruman criticized Gandalf for following the wind, showing no patience or respect at all, and mocking Radagast for providing the information.
At the same time, he quibbled that he had just received the news about the Lord of the Rings, and he just arranged for people to go to Jinluanwei River to confirm the results.
Then Saruman said categorically that according to the information he had learned, the Supreme Ring had flowed into the sea along the Anduin River, and no one should be worried about it.
In fact, this was just his own idea of getting the Supreme Lord of the Rings. He had even found Isildur's body, but not the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
Lady Galadriel did not participate in the discussion between the two, she just listened to everything with a smile.
Lord Elrond has long made up his mind that he and his people will migrate to Aman.
Of course, it is his duty to resist the dark forces, but his main interest now is not here.
From time to time, he glanced at Allen sitting in the corner, seeming to be more interested in this young human being.
Allen, who was sitting in the corner, knew that this meeting had started early, and the content of this meeting should have been discussed in two meetings in 2941 and 2951 of the Third Era.
Now that many things have been advanced, Allen is finally a little worried about whether the Battle of Five Armies will still happen.
Soon, the matter of the Supreme Ring was stopped from being discussed by Saruman, the leader of the White Council, and everyone believed his statement, that is, the Supreme Ring had flowed into the sea and would no longer be a threat to kind people.
Now everyone is discussing how to deal with the dark power of Dol Guldur. Gandalf strongly urges to gather strength to attack Dol Guldur.
Different from the original plot, no one objected this time, even Saruman did not stop him, because at this time he already knew that Sauron had started searching for the Supreme Ring, so it was better to strike first.
At this time, Allen, who has always been transparent, raised his hand to express that he had something to say.
Although Saruman was not interested in this little follower following Gandalf, Lady Galadriel agreed with Alan's speech.
In front of so many big guys, Allen was a little nervous and cleared his throat.
Then he said: "If I heard correctly, you want to launch an attack on Dol Guldur, then I have some news that I should be able to share with you. First, my villagers told me that one of the
The pale orc of the hand often appears near Dol Guldur. If I guessed correctly, it should be the pale orc active in Moria, Azog the Blasphemer. Some say that he was killed by the dwarf prince Thorin a hundred years ago.
. Oakenshield slew, but it was clear that his blasphemy was not over yet."
When Allen said this, he paused.
"Second point, I ambushed Azog's son Bolger in the tunnel of the Misty Mountains. He comes from Gundabad Mountain. Obviously, Azog also rules some or all of the people living in Gundabad Mountain.
Half-orcs, this is nothing. Thirdly, although I have no conclusive evidence, there are various signs that the evil dragon Smaug lying in the Lonely Mountain should also have a tacit understanding with the dark power of Dol Guldur.
At least I haven't seen him have any conflict with the orcs in Gundabad Mountain. Everyone, this is all the information I can provide."
After Allen finished speaking, he quietly sat back in the corner and continued to do his little trick.
But his words made the big guys of the Bai Dao Society fall into deep thought.
It is obvious that the enemy's strength has exceeded their budget.
If you want to attack Dol Guldur at this time, in addition to facing the evil power in that strange castle.
We also have to deal with the orcs from the Misty Mountains and a giant dragon that may fly over at any time.
This was not something that could be solved by the elves of Lothlórien alone, and the scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
After a long time, Gandalf spoke, his voice a little heavy and helpless.
"In fact, in my original plan, I will organize an expedition against the Durin clan next year. I have something in hand that can persuade Thorin Oakenshield to initiate a dwarf meeting, and then help Thorin get back the king's royal treasure.
At that time, I can gather all the dwarf armies to defeat the evil dragon occupying the Lonely Mountain. I originally just wanted to take back the strategic location in the north to face the dark power that may rise at any time."
At this point Gandalf sighed and continued: "It seems that this matter is no longer simple. I will arrange the expedition as soon as possible. If the evil dragon that occupies the Lonely Mountain can be expelled by then, not only will the Lonely Mountain be captured,
This important strategic location in the north can also reduce some troubles in the attack on Dol Guldur. Even if it cannot be driven away, as long as Thorin Oakenshield appears in the Lonely Mountain, the enemies hiding in the shadows will not remain indifferent. Maybe we will
There’s a better chance.”
Saruman was noncommittal about Gandalf's proposal, and Lord Elrond said that if he needed any help, he could come to him.
As long as you don't allow yourself to arrange for elves to escort the stubborn dwarves, it will be a disaster.
Lady Galadriel agreed to this proposal, and most people agreed.
Saruman did not object, but said that Isengard he was guarding was too far away from the Lonely Mountain and could not provide any effective help, but he would definitely participate in the attack on Dol Guldur.
In fact, Gandalf did not expect Saruman to provide any help in the expedition.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as he does not hold back, he is already good. What really needs to be paid, except for Lord Elrond, may be sitting over there in the corner.
Alan is pretending to be transparent.
Thinking of this, Gandalf came to Allen's side, sat down, and said with a smile: "Alan, I'm sorry to tell you that our trip is coming to an end. I originally wanted to take you to see
I want to see the beautiful scenery of the Dark Creek Valley and the people and customs of the Black Barbarian Land, but I can’t do that now. I may have to prepare for other things. I need to go to the north and gather the homeless people there to prepare for the attack on Dole.
Gordo prepares."
After saying these words, the smile on Gandalf's face became even more kind, and in Alan's opinion, it even had a hint of the Big Bad Wolf kidnapping Little Red Riding Hood.
"But I will launch an adventure next year. This adventure will start from Shire. If there are no accidents, this adventure will continue to the dwarf kingdom in the north, the Lonely Mountain. It was once very prosperous and prosperous.
There are countless treasures, are you interested?"
Allen knew that it was impossible for him to avoid this matter, and Allen didn't want to avoid it.
Not to mention that he occupied Beorn's role in the original plot, he also had many demands in this war. Even if Gandalf didn't come to him, Allen would rush to participate.
"Gandalf, yes, I will agree to your invitation again. I have to say that traveling with you is quite pleasant. If I can be of any help in this matter, please feel free to ask, Wilderness
Alan from the town is willing to help you."
Gandalf was slightly moved when he listened to Allen's words, but he quickly calmed down his emotions because the meeting was over and he had a lot of things to be busy with.
Not to mention Saruman, who glanced at Alan and then left without saying a word, Lord Elrond came to Alan and extended an invitation to Alan.
"Young human lord, if you have the opportunity, you are welcome to go to the valley, and you will definitely receive good treatment there."
Allen was a little surprised when he heard it. He was not familiar with Elrond at all, but Allen was still polite.
"Thank you very much, Lord Elrond. I believe there will be a chance."
Having said this, Allen glanced at Gandalf, who was talking to Mrs. Galadriel.
It was obvious that Lord Elrond understood what Allen meant, smiled softly, patted Allen on the shoulder and left.
In his previous life, Allen had always speculated about the relationship between Lady Galadriel and Gandalf.
Many people say that Gandalf is a Maia, who is much older than Lady Galadriel. This is true. When it comes to Gandalf's Maia identity, Orolin, he is at least one era older than all the elves.
But Gandalf's identity is different. When Maia left Middle-earth, she gave up her own strength and wisdom and appeared in Middle-earth as an old human being.
If you calculate it this way, there is actually no difference between it and the new student. It is estimated that the memory of being Maiya has been discarded.
If we consider it as a new student, then Lady Galadriel sees Gandalf as a junior, so there is no problem at all.
Some people even said that Gandalf and Lady Galadriel were lovers, and Lady Galadriel and Gandalf fell in love with Celeborn on the spot.
Alan, who has met the lady now, really wants to drown him in a mouthful of old phlegm. How is this possible? If he said this in front of Gimli, he would definitely need an axe.
But these are just thoughts for Alan, he will leave Lothlorien soon.
Because the meeting organized by the White Council was over, Allen had to go home.
He was a little reluctant to give up, but he also knew that there were still many things that Allen needed to do.
Before leaving, Lady Galadriel gave Allen a great gift.
A large amount of soil contains the power of the Ring of Water. Mrs. Galadriel told Allen that as long as a little bit of soil is sprinkled into the field, the plants growing in this area can grow very lushly.
This effect will last for a very, very long time. Allen expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Galadriel and accepted this precious gift. This is what Wilderness Town needs.
Soon, Allen, escorted by a small group of Lothlorien elves, once again set foot on the road back to the wilderness village. This time he would no longer have leisure when he went back, because the war was coming.
