The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 478 Eregion
"Lady Galadriel?"

Hearing Gandalf's advice to him, Rohan couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment, obviously not thinking about how the other party was related to forging technology.

Galadriel, the lord and wife of the Golden Forest, is also one of the few and most powerful light elves in Middle-earth, and the holder of the Ring of Water.

In Rohan's imagination, the image of Galadriel should be that of a gentle, virtuous and righteous elf lady. Her personality is very different from that of the Misty Lady, and she belongs to the image of a decent queen.

But Gandalf actually said that he could ask Galadriel for forging skills. This statement was indeed beyond Rohan's expectations.

Is it...

Galadriel is actually a muscular woman who wields a blacksmith's hammer and hammers forges next to the anvil all day long? !
After all, the plot descriptions in the movies and novels I have seen in my previous life may deviate from reality. Who knows what the legendary lady Galadriel looks like who can make people unable to feel evil?
Thinking of this, Rohan could only shudder silently and shook his head, and then said to Gandalf helplessly:
"Elele~ Forget it, I'd better look for an opportunity to go to the Eregion ruins in the valley and the south to find some knowledge about rune forging, so that I can make enough food and clothing myself."

"Are you sure? Lady Galadriel was once a member of Eregion's [Jewellers' Guild]. I believe that with her guidance, your forging skills will definitely improve at a rapid rate!"

Hearing Rohan's refusal, Gandalf asked again with some reluctance. Obviously he still hoped to let Rohan go to the Golden Forest to face Lady Galadriel.

After all, over the years, rumors that the red comet, one of the twin-tailed comets, has appeared in the Gondor region have been learned by the elves, so now the White Council is in urgent need of wooing and confirming Rohan's identity.

If Rohan can be allowed to join the White Council, their battle with the Red Comet will become more leisurely in the future.

But Gandalf probably didn't know that it was precisely because of his previous exaggerated description of Galadriel that Rohan could no longer imagine and face Galadriel's stunning appearance:

"I refuse. I have already made my own action plan for the next few years. At least in the short term, I will not choose to travel through the Misty Mountains to other places."

In the end, Rohan was still not ready to cross the Misty Mountains to meet Galadriel in the Golden Forest on the other side. Instead, he secretly made up his mind to plan his actions in the next few years.

He was not really intimidated by the Galadriel he imagined, but it was mainly because he was indeed planning to travel around Middle-earth during this period.

Eregion was an elven city south of Rivendell and west of Moria founded by Celebrimbor, the grandson of the Noldor Elf King, during the Second Age. It was destroyed by Sauron's army a thousand years ago.

According to Cirdan and Gandalf, a group of Noldor elven craftsmen with superb forging skills once gathered there and formed an organization called the "Jewellers' Guild" to exchange knowledge.

Because of this, Eregion not only hoards a large number of exquisitely crafted ancient elven rune creations, but also retains a large number of ancient secretaries from the First Era, which is also an unimaginable wealth!

Nowadays, the city has been destroyed by Sauron's army for thousands of years, and the truly valuable treasures have long been depleted by the plundering of Orcs and the looting of human explorers.

But Luohan's goals are never those treasures that can be used directly after taking them:
"I heard that there is still a lot of knowledge about elven forging carved on the ruined rock walls of Eregion, and there are even many books mixed with dwarven craftsmanship left there, so I am going to go there to explore Are there any books left behind?”

Rohan silently watched the hobbits' celebration, casually took a sandwich from the passing hobbit's plate, then took a bite of it and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

One good thing about the Hobbit Celebration is that all the food is brought by each family to share with others, so all food is free even for outsiders.

For hobbits, failure to receive recognition for their cooking skills is more irritating and remorseful than having their food eaten by hungry outsiders.

Obviously, Rohan was extremely satisfied with the taste of this sandwich, so he hid a cup of gold coins without leaving any trace and placed it on the plate of the hobbit who was looking forward to comment. He smiled and gave his own evaluation:
"The meat is roasted a little too old, which affects the taste and chewing texture. In addition, this sandwich is delicious enough to be praised by even an elf. Congratulations, sir."

"Oh! Thank you so much, dear Mr. Elf, your comments and encouragement are enough to put me in a good mood for the whole day. I wish you a safe journey!"

The hobbit who was praised immediately bent over and bowed awkwardly to Rohan in excitement, and then jumped up and ran to other places with the dinner plate. His short back made Rohan couldn't help but smile.

Gandalf, who had been silently observing Rohan, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the twin-tailed comet would be an elf that was too cold and difficult to deal with.

But judging from the other party's performance now, he should still be a very 'Asasi' young man, right?
Thinking of this, Gandalf, who felt good about himself, couldn't help stroking his beard, and then shamelessly approached Rohan and tried:
"Ahem, I wonder if Lord Rohan who is far away in the Gray Port has heard a piece of news about Mordor, saying that a dark Númenórean named 'Diedric' appeared in Gondor during this time. At the border, the Dongyi Rune army led by him does all kinds of evil there... Why do you look like that?"

Gandalf kept talking about the news about Mordor beside Rohan. After a while, he noticed that Rohan was looking at him with a complicated look.

Facing Gandalf's rhetorical question, Rohan didn't say much. He only said in a strange and sinister voice after eating all the sandwiches in his hand:
"You know, an elf once told me that I must not easily believe in the existence of wizards, because every time they appear, it symbolizes impending doom and may even ruin the mood of the moment. I didn't believe in this view before... "

The implication is that Rohan thinks that Gandalf has ruined his appetite!

This was indeed the case. Through Gandalf's description, Rohan almost immediately realized that the dark Númenórean who called himself 'Diedric' was Archaon on the other side of the Misty Mountains.

Rohan was not surprised by Archaon's appearance, because he had already prepared military mobilization when he returned to the Pendor continent and could recruit more than 20 Pendor reserves at any time.

But the problem now is that the time has not come yet, and now he does not understand Archaon's progress, not to mention Sauron's strength is far from being comparable to that of Rohan now, and now is not the best time to start a war at all;
When Rohan can improve his strength to the point where he surpasses Sauron, and then brings together the local elves and human forces in Middle-earth to join the war, he will be able to defeat Sauron and Archaon in one fell swoop!
Under such circumstances, Gandalf actually kept mentioning Archaon in front of Bilbo at his current banquet, which naturally aroused his dissatisfaction.No wonder Sauron rated him as the one with the lowest IQ among the five Maia who came to Central Continent. I guess the IQ here refers to emotional intelligence, right?

As for the so-called Chinese and Turkish social butterfly's name...

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that except for the members of the White Council, every human and elf who meets Gandalf has a bad face, right?
Is this guy able to know so many people in Middle-earth because of his thick skin and his constant popularity?

Seeing that Gandalf seemed to be planning to say something else, Rohan waved his hand and refused to continue the conversation:
"If you are worried about Archaon, the 'Diedrich' in your mouth, then I advise you not to think about having a chance to defeat him in a short period of time, because the day of the decisive battle has not yet come."

"You...do you know him?"

After listening to Rohan's description, Gandalf also figured out two things from the conversation with the other party:
First, the real name of Didric the Dark Númenórean is Archaon, and his identity is likely to be another twin-tailed comet corresponding to Rohan;
Secondly, Rohan and Archaon have known each other for a long time, and the relationship between the two-tailed comets does not seem to be as harmonious as he imagined. Instead, there is a sense that black and white are incompatible.

Faced with these two answers, Gandalf obviously had no intention of smoking his pipe anymore. Instead, he hurriedly reached out to stop Rohan who was about to leave and continued to ask anxiously:

"Please, Lord Rohan, I hope you can tell me more information about Didric, or Archaon, for the sake of the free people of Middle-earth, right?"

"There's really nothing to say. You can understand that guy as another Sauron, but he is weaker and more extreme than the Dark Lord. He is a madman who only wants to destroy the world."

Rohan looked helplessly at Gandalf who was standing in front of him. Regarding Archaon's question, he really had nothing to tell him.

After all, if you want to explain Archaon's past, it will inevitably involve the Sigma Empire and Belak, and then you need to explain the existence of Norsca and the Chaos Gods, as well as the Eternal Chosen...

If he wanted to discuss these issues in detail, he would have to talk about them for several months. This time would be enough for him to refine his forging skills!

Therefore, for Gandalf, who is likely not to be exposed to the Warhammer world in the future, he only needs to know Archaon's identity and goal.

But obviously, how can such an answer satisfy Gandalf's curiosity?
"Your Excellency Luohan..."

"Bilbo, it's almost time to cut the cake. I think we should go to your celebration center now, right?"

However, Rohan did not respond to Gandalf's intention at all. He walked directly towards Bilbo's position in the distance, and at the same time spread his wings without leaving a trace to block Gandalf's way.

He was tired of answering. The main reason why he came to Bilbo's birthday party this time was to find a short break from the busy practice, rather than to be dragged by Gandalf to answer questions!

Gandalf, who was blocked, could only watch Lu Han leave his sight. Finally, he reluctantly put away the Ring of Fire on the table, took a puff of his pipe and complained:

"Really, there's no need to block the road if you don't want to answer the question. Can't I just go over and have some cake with you?"

————A few days later, Eregion

In order to avoid another encounter with Gandalf, Rohan stayed briefly at Bilbo's house for one night, then directly flapped his wings and flew away from the Shire, and finally came to the Eregion region.

Since it is impossible to accurately judge the coordinates of the ground in the sky, Rohan's journey during this period can be said to be casual and enjoyable.

Along the way, the scenery is beautiful, with green mountains and green water, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the scenery is picturesque.

Even Rohan, who thought he was well-informed, couldn't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery here. Then he couldn't help but hover in the air and took a deep breath and said:
"Ah~ Such a wonderful scenery, I really hope I can bring Isabel here with me to relax~"

In recent years, Rohan has not returned to Pendor World to visit his wife and daughter. However, for the sake of safety, he still did not take them away from his military base camp.

After all, there are also evil presences in Middle-earth. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the already impregnable continent of Pandor is obviously more suitable for the development of his daughter.

"However... although Eregion is already an abandoned city in ancient times, its strategic location is surprisingly good!"

Looking at the vast area below with the continuous dangerous hills and the vast plain in the distance near the valley area, Rohan couldn't help but start to look at the broken walls and ruins around him that were visible to the naked eye.

After thousands of years of erosion, this elven fortress that was once built on the hills has now lost its former glory. Only some milky white stone wall ruins tell the story of the former glory here.

There have been some elven explorers and human lords who have tried to rebuild their territories on these ruins, but these efforts have basically come to nothing.

Due to its location close to the Misty Mountains, some wandering mountain orc tribes and trolls often visit this land, plundering surrounding farmers and passing travelers.

Under such living conditions where everything is full of vitality, anyone who tries to settle here is likely to be eating hot pot and singing songs, and the next second they will be attacked by Orcs attracted by the light of the fire!
