Chapter 1359 The elf prince with double chin sounds miserable
Middle-earth, Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor.
After destroying the Lord of the Rings and annihilating the demon Lord Sauron, Aragorn was crowned king by Gandalf and officially entered the white royal city as the King of Gondor.
Aragorn ascended the throne, known as 'King Elisa'. This year marked the end of the Third Era and the beginning of the Fourth Era. Middle-earth officially transitioned to the era of human rule.
In the same year, antivirus software... ahem, Elrond, the elf lord of Rivendell, arrived with his daughter Arwen. Gondor welcomed its queen, and the wedding was held on Midsummer's Day.
Aragorn liked to mention his childhood sweetheart whom he had raised single-handedly. Elrond was devastated to lose his family, which was very sad because Aragorn had been his adopted son before he became his son-in-law.
After taking office, Aragorn reorganized the Council of Gondor, sent messengers to various places to spread the news, and drove away all remaining evil forces, bringing peace to Middle-earth.
After years of rest and recuperation, the pain was healed, and the world gradually forgot the dark age ruled by fear. Minas Tirith also became the holy land of humans in Middle-earth, synonymous with prosperity and stability.
The breeze blows through the pure white city, and Aragorn overlooks the plains from a high position. At the end of the distant mountains, the Doomsday volcano that was shrouded in shadow in the past is now just a tourist attraction that no one cares about.
It lay there for many years in silence.
The memory of the friendship between comrades emerged in my mind, and smiling faces passed by one after another: Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Boromir, Gandalf, Russell...
The corners of Aragorn's mouth curled up, and he muttered each name in a low voice, but when the last face appeared, his whole face instantly stiffened, and his smile was not as warm as it was at the beginning.
To be honest, even though times have changed, every time I think about it, that face at the end is still too deceiving.
Aragorn still remembers that a poet once visited him, saying that he wanted to sing the adventures of the Fellowship of the Ring, write a biography, and pass it on to the world.
What a good thing!
The sacrifices of the heroes of our ancestors are a warning to everyone that peace is hard-won and needs to be cherished and we will not use weapons recklessly in the future.
But the poet knows nothing about the specific details and the thrilling stories the Fellowship of the Ring experienced during their adventures, and needs Aragorn to tell them orally.
sacrifice?
Does having a double chin per capita count as a sacrifice?
You should forget it, it doesn't matter to others, but the elf prince with a double chin sounds miserable.
Aragorn was confused when asked. There were no adventure stories, but there were a lot of accidents. Because of Russell's cauldron, the difficult journey related to the fate of Middle-earth suddenly turned into a gourmet journey.
Therefore, it is impossible to tell the truth. If the word spreads out that all the members of the Fellowship are greedy, where is the majesty of the Holy War?
Moreover, not only will the world not cherish peace, but they will also open up a food road according to the guide, seriously damaging the ecological balance.
In desperation, Aragorn had no choice but to delete and delete, and made up an exciting adventure story on the spot to fool the poet.
The white lie received the praises of heroic epics, and the glorious image of the Fellowship of the Ring has since spread throughout Middle-earth. Every time this story is mentioned, people will give a thumbs up and lament their hard work.
"Aragorn, what are you doing here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Aragorn slowly turned around, hugged the graceful Queen Arwen, and looked at Mount Doom with her.
"I thought of some past events and former friends."
"Gandalf and Frodo?"
"Um!"
"..."
The two of them cuddled up together, and they were in perfect harmony without even mentioning a random name. It was so embarrassing.
After a while, Aragorn suddenly woke up in the gentle village. Something was wrong. The Doomsday volcano, which had been dormant for many years...
There's smoke!
Looking into the distance, wisps of ominous black smoke rise from the crater. The smoke is thick and blackens the sky. The evil devil's face spreads out overwhelmingly, and soon the Forbidden City of Mordor, surrounded by the Ash Mountain and the Shadow Mountain, is firmly enveloped.
.
Aragorn looked frightened, and Arwen was no better. At the same time, he blurted out Sauron's name.
"Impossible, Sauron is dead. Russell transformed into a dragon and killed him. The Supreme Lord of the Rings was also destroyed. There is no possibility of his resurrection..."
Aragorn sweated at the corner of his brow, glanced at Arwen in his arms, and hurried back to the palace hall.
…
The bells rang, and Minas Tirith entered a state of war. The whole city was sealed off, and the soldiers and horses were in preparation.
In the meeting hall of the royal palace, Aragorn was sitting at the head of the long table of the parliament. Next to him was Queen Arwen. All the ministers in the royal capital were there, all looking worried.
"King Eliza, Mount Doom has rekindled the demonic flames. Is it really Sauron who has been resurrected?"
Gondor General Boromir looked sad. He was the eldest son of the former regent and a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. In order to help Aragorn ascend the throne, he did not hesitate to join forces with his younger brother to cheat his father.
Brothers, friends and brothers are respectful, father is kind and son is filial!
After Aragorn became king, Boromir refused to take distant fiefdoms, and because of his lack of political ability, he could not bear the heavy responsibility of prime minister, so he stayed in Gondor to serve as a general. He was loyal to the country and the royal family, and was Aragorn's most trusted minister and friend.
.
Because of his past experience, Boromir knew Sauron's fear very well. Without strong support, it would be difficult for the country of Gondor to resist the invasion of the claws of darkness.
"Whether it is Sauron or not has yet to be confirmed. This is an urgent moment. The troops are divided into two groups and go all the way to Mordor to collect information. In addition, messengers are sent to convene the Council of Gondor."
Aragorn pondered for a moment and added: "Contact the elves and dwarves. Mordor has made a comeback, which affects the entire Middle-earth continent. They should also send people to attend the meeting."
"Understood, let's make arrangements."
The opening of the Fourth Age means the arrival of the human era, and the elves have traveled across the oceans to avoid contact with humans.
For example, Aragorn's old father-in-law, the elf lord Elrond of Rivendell, Galadriel of Lothlorien and her husband all took their people away from Middle-earth.
But not all elves have left Middle-earth. The woodland kings led by Thranduil live in the Greenleaf Forest, which was once the Dark Forest, all year round, and live a life without being disturbed by the outside world.
This elf kingdom is quite strange. I don't know if it's because I'm used to being a homebody, or because I'm too obsessed with the green leaf forest, so it migrates very slowly, and finally becomes completely immobile.
Can't walk, can't go.JPG
As for the dwarves, there are even more countries and territories. They love Middle-earth so deeply that they will not leave even if humans move away. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most hardcore.
The meeting continued, and a group of people discussed and discussed, and found that before the messengers arrived and the Council of Gondor was convened, Minas Tirith had no plan to deal with emergencies other than strengthening military alert.
There is no way, the Doomsday volcano erupted too suddenly, and there is a lack of information on hand.
In the past, at this time, an old man with a white beard would appear, with a kind smile, and tell a lot of precious information like a spoiler.
"Well, if only Gandalf were here."
Boromir muttered, looked up and saw Aragorn nodding with empathy, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
What are you thinking about? Gandalf is long gone.
"King Elisa!"
A soldier hurriedly walked into the hall and said excitedly: "The white-robed mage Gandalf is here and is asking for an audience outside the palace."
"???"
Boromir was confused. This efficiency, how should I put it, is worthy of a white-robed mage. Every time he appears, he is just right.
"Quick, please... I'll go and greet him personally."
Aragorn was overjoyed and walked out of the hall side by side with Arwen, followed by a group of ministers. Halfway there, he saw the dusty Gandalf... and a ball.
The crystal ball is Saruman. What this guy did back then made the people above him very dissatisfied. After Gandalf returned, he received a salary increase and a promotion. Saruman was left behind in Middle-earth, living a miserable life as a lonely ghost.
The first thing Gandalf did when he came to Middle-earth was to find Saruman and put him in a crystal ball.
That's right, once again, before Gandalf left, he used a crystal ball to pretend to be Saruman.
Carrying it around is not to show off a salary increase, promotion, and reaching the top of the Maia, nor is it to show off and mock Saruman. As a mature Maia, Gandalf disdains this.
He couldn't bear the suffering of his companions, and wanted to take this opportunity to make Saruman guilty and perform meritorious service to show his superiors, so he carried it with him.
Yes, that's it. Saruman didn't believe it, but Gandalf himself did.
"Gandalf!"
"Aragorn, no, you should call him King Elisa."
"Then how should I call you, the great white-robed mage?"
"Hahaha……"
The scene was very lively when old friends met. Gandalf hugged Aragorn, Arwen, and finally Boromir.
"What's wrong, Boromir, you have a sad face, do you don't want to see me?"
Seeing Boromir's confused expression, Gandalf couldn't help but joked.
"No, I am very happy to see the white-robed mage, but..."
Boromir looked around: "Why are you alone? Where is Master Russell?"
"Well……"
Gandalf winked. According to his understanding, Russell should be like him, a Maia who was sent down to perform a task by the people above.
However, he had never heard of who Russell was before, and when he went back and asked, he didn't get an answer.
It suddenly appears and disappears, which is quite confusing.
…
In the meeting hall, everyone took their seats again, and Aragorn asked someone to add an extra seat for Gandalf, right next to the king's main seat, to show respect for him.
Gandalf did not forget Saruman. He took out the crystal ball, rubbed it, and placed it on the long table in front of him with a serious face.
"I believe everyone still remembers Saruman the Gray. This ball is him. Back then, he made one wrong move and colluded with Sauron to bring disaster to Middle-earth..."
Gandalf said a lot, basically saying that Saruman was not a human before and had done countless bad things, but now he has changed his mind and hopes that everyone will give him a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds regardless of past suspicions.
Saruman: "..."
When he was found by Gandalf, he knew that hard times were coming, that is, Maia would not die, otherwise she would definitely self-destruct on the spot, dragging Gandalf with him to support him.
"Gandalf, since you are here, let's talk about the current situation in Mordor. Is Sauron resurrected?"
Gandalf:(˙灬˙)
How do you know that I know the current situation in Mordor, even though I don’t even know!
