The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 479 Heading to Rivendell
"The years turn into songs, and time passes like flowers. Even the me who I once was has long been forgotten by my former believers with the passage of time. Everything is just a cloud of the past."

Just as Rohan was flapping his wings and constantly flying through the ruins of Eregion, admiring the remains of the former Noldor elves, he heard a burst of emotion belonging to the flare coming from his ears.

Luo Han looked at the golden and blue soul fire in his heart with some confusion, obviously not understanding why the always taciturn Flare suddenly moaned without any illness.

Could it be that he was moved by the scene and recalled some memories about the past?

Flare obviously also noticed that his endless exclamation could easily trigger daydreams, so he took the initiative to explain for himself:
"I'm just lamenting my past. After all, my soul fragments have long been scattered across the dimensions along the cracks of time. If my former believers were still praying to me, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."

"There is no need to be sad. At least your soul is gradually recovering now. From now on, we are soul classmates. At least you will not be alone until I die."

"Well, it seems I can't let you die casually..."

Rohan's half-joking self-mockery finally made Flare's spirit return to normal again, and then he took the initiative to help Rohan search for valuable items worth recycling in the ruins.

As the saying goes, "A man and a woman can work together without getting tired." The two soon discovered many ancient murals in the ruins of Eregion, as well as a few jewelry and decorations that had been covered in dust for a long time.

However, most of these murals only record some totem verses from ancient legends, and most of the jewelry are just ordinary items of good specifications, and do not have the research value of rune props.

decorations?
What purpose did he need these decorations for? Could they help him defeat Sauron and Archaon?

Looking carefully at the silver candlestick in his hand that was covered with cobwebs and dust, Rohan couldn't help but read the inscription on the bottom of the candlestick, then put it in the system space and complained:

"The Rivendell produced in the Second Era... I guess it's a bit too unreliable to give as a gift now, right?"

"Perhaps you can use it to fool Bilbo or other ignorant humans. I believe they will like these handicrafts very much."

"Forget it, I might as well melt these materials and make them into other things. Let's continue looking in other places."

Rohan casually put the backpack containing silverware into the system space, and then left the hall where no murals and decorations could be seen, constantly searching for information about the Jewelers Guild.

The Jewelers Guild, as an organization founded by Lord Celebrimbor of Eregion, this guild brings together almost the most skilled elf masters in Middle-earth, and contains all kinds of magical wisdom.

Although according to Gandalf, Lady Galadriel, who had learned forging skills from the god of craftsmen Aulë, was also an excellent blacksmith, she was located on the other side of the Misty Mountains after all.

It was a majestic mountain range with an average altitude of more than 6000 meters. Even Rohan, who could fly with the wind, had to admit that it was indeed quite difficult to cross such a mountain range with only flesh wings.

What's more, the severe cold storm in the mountains is not something that Rohan can withstand now, so even he has to choose to cross the mountains honestly and by normal means.

Through the explorers from the Golden Forest in Gray Port, Rohan has also learned about three methods of crossing the Misty Mountains:

First, the north-south highway starts from the Shire all the way to the capital of Gondor. It passes through the Isengard Ferry and the territory of the Kingdom of Rohan, and finally goes north along the Anduin River to the Golden Forest;

The second step is to enter the Misty Mountains through the Moria Gate, then exit through the main entrance of Khazadum Fortress and fly for a while, and finally reach the Golden Forest.

Finally, you pass through a rugged road in Rivendell called the East-West Avenue. After passing through the rugged mountain slopes, you can leave from the high pass, and finally go south along the Anduin River to the Golden Forest.

These three roads were all recommended to him by the elf explorer, but Rohan would not be so naive as to believe that these three roads were so absolutely safe:

The first is the first path. The controller of Isengard is none other than the legendary industrial pioneer Saruman. Although he has not yet rebelled and defected to Sauron, he has never stopped searching for the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

Even Rohan could not guarantee that he would not encounter any accidents 100% when passing through, so he had no choice but to choose to abandon this seemingly safest avenue.

As for the second path, although Rohan was able to learn the password to pass through the gate of Moria in advance through the original information, it also meant that he had to face the orc lord Azog among them, as well as the grumpy one among them. Balrog!
He didn't dare claim to be 100% sure when facing Saruman, let alone Azog, who had countless soldiers, and Balrog, whose strength was no less than that of ordinary Maiya?
As for the third way, it is also full of dangers:

According to the journey of the dwarf expedition in the original book, they not only encountered the fighting and play of stone giants and the night attack of the Goblin Kingdom, but also encountered an attack from Dol Guldur!

Not to mention the Nazgul who wander around Dol Guldur looking for traces of the Lord of the Rings. Inside Dol Guldur is the ritual of Sauron himself, who is a real heavyweight!

Although with his current strength, he should be able to deal with the Ring Spirits he accidentally bumped into, the battle here will surely soon arouse the awareness and vigilance of Sauron, who has been looking for traces of the Lord of the Rings.

In summary, the road to the Golden Forest is not easy to walk. Wait until your strength is enhanced to surpass Balrog and Saruman before you consider going there!
Of course, he could also consider another option:

"There don't seem to be many traces of living people around... Flare, what do you think is the possibility of me rebuilding the Eregian Fortress in this place?"

Rohan is constantly circling the ruins of Eregion. The only way to enter the ruins of this fortress from the ground is an unobstructed road, so you only need to hold on here.

However, it is such a dangerous military fortress. Even though humans and elves have tried to rebuild it several times, the area is sparsely populated because of the Angmar War that lasted for more than [-] years in the Third Age. So far it has not been possible.

In this case, why can't I rebuild this place as my own territory?
Thinking of this, Rohan simply sat down on the ruins, and finally started to think about what he needed to do next:
"I need to regroup the troops. Rebuilding this place requires a lot of manpower and material support. It will definitely take a long time to complete the reconstruction, which means I will need a large number of migrant workers. And in order to prevent the invasion of evil forces, I must also It has the power to protect the territory like the Three Rings of Elf, but if the Lord of the Rings is destroyed, the Three Rings of Elf will also lose its power...

I need to forge a symbol of my own territory and a protective platform, which must contain magic to drive away the corruption of chaos and evil forces, and also make the surrounding plants more lush..."

Luohan mentally talked to Flare about the things he needed to prepare next, the most important of which was the idea of ​​a territory guarding platform.

To put it simply, he plans to build a territory stone similar to that used in previous life survival games. The area covered by the territory stone is an absolutely safe area that can prevent the invasion of evil forces.

According to Cirdan, the most important thing in the rune forging process of the Noldor elves is the power of mind and will. Only by injecting all your own will into your creation can you give it a power that is no less than magic.

A few examples:
The reason why the Lord of the Rings caused corruption was because Sauron injected the darkness and evil will in his heart into it when he created it, and consumed most of his power for this;

In the original work, Oakcrest, one of the three ancient elven swords hidden in the Troll Cave, was made by the master elven blacksmiths who injected their hatred of the Orcs into it, eventually giving it a special attack against the Orcs. addition;
Even Arda itself was permanently tainted by the evil power injected by Melkor, which eventually turned Arda into the Ring of Morgoth, eternally bound to it.

From these three examples, it can be seen that unlike the traditional rune carving technology in the Warhammer world, the rune craftsmanship of the Arda elves pursues the power of the soul, which can be regarded as a poke at Rohan's strengths.

After all, his fusion with Flare can greatly enhance the transmission of psychic power. In recent years, he has been able to fight Glorfindel back and forth after the fusion!
Under this premise, Rohan is actually not lacking in talent for spiritual rune forging. The only thing that needs to be considered is where to learn the skills.

"Go and say hello to the leader first, Rohan. Although Lord Elrond does not seem to be good at forging skills, you may be able to find some relevant books and knowledge there."

Seeing that Rohan still seemed to be bowing his head in deep thought, Flare couldn't help but take the initiative to put forward his own opinion. At the same time, a tentacle of light stretched out from Rohan's body and pointed far away to the north.

As Lohan's life-and-death partner, she had been secretly studying next to him when he was studying in Gray Port, for fear that she would drag him down in the future.

Because of this, Flare is more familiar with the situation in Central Continent and the distribution of lords than Rohan, and he is also able to analyze which plan is most beneficial to Rohan at the moment.

"North, do you mean Rivendell?"

Following the direction pointed by the flare, Luohan also realized what the other party's idea was for him, so he immediately followed the other party's pace.

Indeed, whether it is learning technology in the future or rebuilding Eregion, Rivendell is a link that he cannot avoid, not to mention that the Ring of Air is still in the hands of Lord Elrond.

What's more, when he is away in the future, other lords will need to take care of this area. It is expected that the noble Lord Elrond will be able to take on this responsibility.

Thinking of this, Rohan straightened his butt and jumped down from the ruins of the tower, then spread his wings in mid-air and flew towards the northern forest:
"In that case, let's set off now, shall we?"

However, at this moment, tentacles of light suddenly extended from Rohan's body, then wrapped around Rohan's body and persuaded:
"Wait, if you want to rebuild Eregion, you at least need to prove to Elrond that you are indeed capable of rebuilding this place, so I suggest..."

——Rivendell, Secret Path
Rivendell, also known as Rivendell, is also the last large elven stronghold west of the Misty Mountains. It is also the place where all the elves of Middle-earth rest when they go to Gray Harbor.

Since the death of Gil-galad, the previous high king of the elves, the elven kingdom Linton on the western coast has gradually disappeared, so most of the elves have gathered here.

Today, at the entrance to the canyon in Rivendell, hundreds of Rivendell Elf soldiers are waiting at the sentry post here, waiting for the Dúnedain to send their leader to Rivendell for foster care.

The Dúnedain are the descendants of the Númenóreans who once fled to Middle-earth. They are also the humans who wandered after the demise of the former human kingdom of Arnor in the north.

According to past customs, the son of every Dúnedain clan leader will be sent to Rivendell for training. This is also a rule that the Dúnedain have agreed with Rivendell for thousands of years.

The elven troops arriving in front of the sentry at this moment are the Rivendell elves who are preparing to welcome Aragorn, the heir of the Dunedain!

"They seem to be late?"

Rivendell's steward and Elrond's adjutant, Lindir, was standing on guard at the moment. He looked at the ferry in the distance, which seemed to be motionless, and his heart was full of doubts and worries.

According to past practice, the Dúnedain will send their heirs to Rivendell today, but it has been an agreement for thousands of years.

But now the Dúnedain troops have not arrived, so Lindir has to worry about whether they encountered any accident on the way to Rivendell.

"Logically speaking, we have been cleaning out the Orcs near Rivendell during this period. Even if we encounter scattered Orc tribes, we can't delay it for so long, right?"

The elf officer on the side was also a little confused. During this period, the number of Orcs that the patrol went out to kill was not thousands but hundreds. Shouldn't there be a large-scale Orc tribe?

But it won't be long before they understand why the Dúnedain are late:
Roar--

A roar that resounded throughout the sky came from the top of the wind and cloud in the distance, which immediately caused all the elf soldiers present to straighten their bodies and tighten their weapons at the same time.

Isn't this a simple greeting task? Why do I always feel like something is not quite right? !
