Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 209 A New Covenant
In the days following the coronation, the king sits on a throne in a well-established building on the sixth floor, where he judges affairs of state.From the east and the south, from the borders of the Black Forest, and from the Black Barbarians to the west, came envoys from all nations and lands.

The king forgave the group of people who had been bewitched by Sauron before, and he said: "Now the light has returned to the White City, and all the lies and evil will leave this great city. Many of you are not sincerely evil, so I allow you to continue to be the people of Gondor, and may the remaining days be filled with happiness and laughter."

Only then did these people realize the forgiveness and justice of the king. They gladly knelt down and kissed the king's hand, and left happily and contentedly.

Then Aragorn gave Ithilien to Faramir as a domain, and told him to live in the hills of Emyn Alnen, where the White City could be seen.

"Because," he said, "Minas Ithil in the Vale of Morgul should be utterly demolished. Though it may be cleansed someday, it may be uninhabitable for many years."

The youngest son of the Hu Lin family could hardly hold back his tears. At that time, sadness and joy flooded into his heart at the same time, because he remembered his brother who had passed away.

Boromir, Boromir, and the White City have finally returned to the hands of the humans of Gondor.May you find peace in the halls of your ancestors.

So the House of Hurin returned to Minas Tirith.

In addition, many other brave men were summoned to receive his award.

Among them, Halballad rejected the reward from the King of Gondor. He said: "The descendants of Isildur have returned to their homeland and gained the power of the king. The oath about me should also come to an end. I will not accept his A reward, just because I am now the Deputy Prime Minister of the Northern Kingdom."

Aragorn was very sad to hear his refusal, and he sighed, and said: "I will not force the faithful, but please accept my gratitude, Hal Barad, and may the stars bear witness, there is no king and king between you and me." A subject is the friendship of a friend."

Hal Ballad accepted, he respectfully saluted the king, and then left the king's palace without saying a word.

Then Aragorn met with King Theoden of Rohan.This time, the old king was more respectful to Aragorn, and their conversation showed the majesty of the king.Aragorn said: "Gondor and Rohan have been brothers between you and me. How happy was the moment when Eorl rode from the north when he rode up from the north, and there was never a union of people so blessed as our two peoples. , have never failed each other in the past, and will never fail each other. Now, as you know, Gondor has ushered in a new life, and so should Rohan."

King Theoden agreed, saying: "I am old, and many deeds of valor are gone, but the alliance between Rohan and Gondor remains. Éomer is my only heir, and he shall be the heir of Rohan. leader."

At that time, the son of Eomund was also by his side. He stood up and saluted respectfully to the old king and the new king.

King Telkanta accepted his salute and stepped down from his throne to embrace him like a friend.He said: "Then I believe that Gondor and Rohan will live forever."

Eomer's answer was also extremely inspiring, saying, "Pema testifies!"

Thus, the covenant between Gondor and Rohan was reaffirmed.

Eowyn also witnessed all this along with her uncle and elder brother. Her eyes never left Aragorn. She loved him, but fate made their love like mist in the morning. Although it was beautiful, it could not last forever. It made her heart ache.

It is said that one day Éowyn was walking alone in the royal gardens, and the sun warmed him all over, and she felt life rushing again in her veins;A voice called her name, and she turned to see King Aragorn.He could see clearly what was going on in her heart, and had a keen eye for her sadness and disturbance, and he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

The daughter of Eomund was tall and tall, with bright eyes on a fair face.When she turned around, the sun shone on her beautiful face, a moment that even elves couldn't compare to.

So Aragorn came to her, and they stood together again under a beech tree.He said to her: "Eowyn, why do you delay here? Why don't you go to the ball beyond Pelennor and join in the celebration? Your brother is waiting for you there."

She said, "Don't you understand?"

And he replied: "You want to be loved by a person. But I don't know if your love can be reciprocated, just because that person loves his country and his people more, even if he loves you, it is out of respect for the country. Responsibility."

"I know that," she said, "but not even the Valar can stop man's longing for love. I love you, Lord Aragorn, even if this love may not be as bright as the elves say, But it's still love, it's like a flame that burns in my heart, and if it goes out, it will be the day I die."

"Mortals shouldn't talk about those eternal nobles." Aragorn was angry and sad. He begged her not to talk about life and death, just because he really liked her very much and couldn't bear her wasting time on it. He said: " The love you long for may be like a young soldier looking up to a great general. It may be true, but is it love? You want fame and glory to rise above the crawling mortals of the world. You think I'm worthy of admiration, but I can only offer you understanding and pity, Éowyn! Éowyn! I love you, but that is not all."

Éowyn gazed at Aragorn for a long time, heartbroken and weeping. "Then I understand. Aragorn doesn't love me, but my love is true and cannot be slandered. Maybe today is the last time I see the sun, because my heart died on this day."

Saying that, she turned and left stubbornly.

Hearing this, Aragorn changed his mind; in other words, he finally understood her mind.In an instant, his love fell on her, her winter receded, and the sun shone on her.

He took the hand of the white princess and made a vow of love.

Their combination represents the integration of Gondor and Rohan. Many years later, when the line of Éomer was completely cut off because of the war with the Erin Vaughan, Aragorn and Éowyn's son Eldarion became Co-lord of the United Kingdom of Gondor and Rohan.

Finally, Aragorn received the son of Turka, the first prince of Elpera in the northern kingdom, Alatu Arakano, and his brother, Noratu Alakano, with extremely solemn court etiquette.

"If Gondor and Rohan are brothers, then I will always regard the Silver King as my father!" Aragorn stood under the steps himself, and said to the twins: "This is not flattery, but sincere words. If Mies Randir is the promoter of all achievements, so Turka Arakano is the one who is destined. The people of Gondor will never forget that it is the help of the Arakano family that will be freed from evil! Therefore, may the friendship between you and me last forever, that Gondor may never disappoint the northern kingdom that rescued it."

But Aratu saw farther than him, because he was destined to be the Lord of Central Continent in the next era. Fragments of history slowly unfolded before his eyes. The king's banner flew on the Tower of the Guard (ie Minas Tirith) and the Tower of the Moonrise (ie Minas Ithil), while the great city in the river was engulfed in flames.So he said: "I don't doubt your promise, you and your descendants will rule Baicheng, but the prosperity of human beings is always fleeting and short-lived, betrayal starts from the wall, and the kingdom falls; how can it be avoided?"

It is said that at that moment, Aragorn might not be happy in his heart, but the king's heart was beating vigorously, so he calmed down and thought about what the son of Turca said. Overthrow, how can human beings talk about eternity? You are right, Your Highness Aratu, we cannot know the future, but is it not our business to be united now?"

"Indeed." Aratu nodded in agreement and said no more.

Thus, the conversation between the two sides came to an end in friendship and joy.

In this way, the newly born Kingdom of Gondor successively made covenants with Rohan, the treants of Fangorn Forest, the northern kingdom of Elpera, and the dwarves of Kazadum.Among them, the Aisin River is the boundary, and the north is the territory of the Northern Kingdom, including the abandoned Orthanc Circus; the Rohan Pass is east to the Merlin River and the gloomy hills, and the vast plains to the south of the Limqing River For the land of Rohan; to the north-west of him was the Forest of Fangorn, where the Ents took root, and Treebeard was their king, and in this ancient land neither Men nor Dwarves entered but good will.

The Kingdom of Gondor has the entire territory and the Mordor Basin.

The elves do not participate in the covenant between humans, dwarves, and tree people. Some of them still live in the Great Green Forest—this part is headed by Legolas, who took over Thranduil's position and continued to be his The King of the Woodland Elves; and among the Northern Kingdoms - this part is headed by Orofenwe; not a major event, no longer published.

Finally, the happy June is over.The sun went down, and the full moon rose slowly over the mist of Anduin, and the moonlight fell from among the rustling leaves, and all the people who lived far away returned home happily.The survivors and many volunteers in Baicheng are constantly busy, rebuilding, repairing, removing all the scars left by the war, and erasing dark memories.During this time, the weary are rested and the wounded are healed.Because some of them fought a tough battle with the remaining Dongyi and Nanmanzi until they were all subdued.Also, those who entered Mordor and destroyed the northern strongholds of the land have only recently returned.

The army began to repair, and everyone was preparing to go to the northern border of El-Nuyin-Lodgon.

During this time, something happened.One day, Gandalf suddenly disappeared, and he led Aragorn to the south foot of Mount Mindoruin, which was knocked down by Alatu.There they found an ancient road built in the very long past, which few people dare to walk now, because the ancient road climbs a high mountain and leads to a high holy place that only kings used to frequent.They went up the steep mountain road until they came to a plateau beneath the snow that covered the high peak, overlooking the cliff that rose behind the White City.

They stand there looking over the land, for the dawn has come.They saw the White City far below. Most of the old towers in the city collapsed in that battle, but more new towers were taking shape. The light of hope filled the whole city, and the valley of Anduin slowly unfolded before them like a garden. In front of him, the golden mist was like a veil, covering the Shadow Mountains.

On one side they looked as far as the gray hills of Emyn Muil, and the waterfall of Raauros shone like a distant twinkling star; Er, go further, the sky is bright, and that is where the sea is.

"This is your kingdom," said Gandalf, "and will be the center of a greater realm to come. The third age of the world has ended, and a new age has begun. It is your business to order the beginning of the new age, and preserve Those things that can be preserved. For, though many of them are saved, many more will perish from now on. And the power of the three precepts has ceased. All the districts, shall be dwellings of men. For the time of man's dominion has come, and the elder kind shall fade or depart. Except the sons of Olwe. But this elf will not disturb the age of man, they Only to the Sons of Turka, Aragorn, you must not forget this."

"My dear friend, I am well aware of this," said Aragorn, "but I still wish to have your assistance."

"Not long from now," said Gandalf, "the Third Age is mine. I was Sauron's sworn enemy, but my work is done. I shall go soon. Willy The trial of Sauron in Mar has been delayed too long, and the burden must now rest on you and your kindred."

"But I am mortal," said Aragorn, "for I am mortal. Although I myself have this birth, and have the blood of the Western peoples that has not been mixed, I will live much longer than others, but that is still true. For a short time. When the children that are now in the womb are born and grow and grow old, so will I grow old. Then, if what I desire is not granted, who will rule Gondor, and rule over those who will Who does the White City regard as the queen? The White Tree in the Fountain King Court is still withered and bare, it was destroyed by the battle between Aratu and Sauron, when will I see signs that it will come back to life from now on?"

"Turn back from the green world, and see the barrenness that seems frozen!" said Gandalf.

So Aragorn turned around, and saw behind him a rocky slope extending from the outer edge of the snow, but on closer inspection he perceived a growth isolated in the wasteland.He climbed towards it and saw a small tree no more than three feet high growing just on the edge of the snow.It has germinated slender and elegant young leaves with dark green tops and silvery white backs. A small cluster of flowers grows on top of the slender crown, and the white petals are as bright and dazzling as white snow in the sun.

Seeing this, Aragorn exclaimed: "Yé! utúvienyes! I have found it! Behold, it is a descendant of a thousand trees! But why is it here? It is not even seven years old."

Gandalf smiled and said: "This is indeed a young tree of the Yushu Nimloth line. Nimloth is born of Galashilian, and Galashilian is the one of the ten thousand trees with many names. The fruit of Long Telperion grew. Who knows how it came here at this appointed time? But this is an ancient holy place, and there must have been a fruit before the blood of the kings died and the white tree died in the king's court Buried here. It is said that although the white tree rarely bears ripe fruit, the life contained in the fruit may experience long years of dormancy, and no one can predict when it will wake up. You must remember this. If One day a fruit will ripen, and it must be planted, lest the line of the White Tree be cut off from the world. This young tree is hidden in this mountain, as the Elendils are hidden in the northern wilds."

Aragorn reached out and touched the young tree, and behold!It seemed to grow shallowly in the ground and was removed without any damage.Aragorn brought it back to the king's city.Then, with reverence, the dead tree buried by the battle between Aratu and Sauron was dug up by the roots, but they did not burn it, but placed it in the silent Rustinon.Aragorn planted the new tree next to the fountain of the newly-built Osgilias Royal Court—because most of the buildings in Minas Tirith were destroyed by Alatu and Sauron, in the end, Aragorn chose to be in Gondor. The first royal city, the great city in the river, the fortress of the stars - Osgilias was the capital.It begins to grow merrily and rapidly.When July comes, it is already in full bloom.

"The sign has been given," said Aragorn, "and the day is not far off." He placed lookouts on the walls.

At last, one day in the seventh month, a messenger came from Amundine to the White City, reporting that a beautiful race on horseback had come from the north, and was approaching the walls of Pelennor.Then the king said, "At last they have come. Let the whole city get ready!"

　On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I wish my lovely book lovers... um, a lot of money, a lot of tickets, and a lot of subscriptions.
