The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 39 Pretend It Never Happened
Elrond poured Gandalf a glass of wine, and he bent down to Gandalf's ear.

"It's only been a year since the last time the members of the White Daoist Society were called to hold the Holy White Conference. The Holy White Conference has never been held so intensively, Gandalf."

"I'm afraid that Saruman will challenge you at this meeting, and you have to come up with something that will leave him speechless."

Gandalf added some tobacco to his pipe, rubbed his fingers together, and lit it.

"I know, last time in this meeting, I think some of us had some trouble with Saruman, Lord Elon." Gandalf looked towards Gao Yuan who was not far away.

At this time Gao Yuan was holding Arwen's hand and introducing to Bilbo.

Elon looked at Gao Yuan's back, and couldn't help but think of the meeting a year ago. He couldn't help laughing: "It's his own fault. He always looks superior, but I don't think Gao Yuan is in this meeting. Will participate, it has nothing to do with him."

"I think, Gandalf, you also arranged this way, didn't you?"

Gandalf nodded, and a smoke ring flew into the sky.

"Mrs. Galadriel found me a powerful helper. I want him to go to the Lonely Mountain with Thorin's expedition team. He has great potential. Maybe he will surprise me a little, just like he did today. It’s like a surprise for you, Lord Elon.”

"The Nauglamir Necklace is very precious to you, isn't it? Even if there is no Silmaril on it."

Elrond stared at the Nauglamir necklace worn on Arwen, and gradually became fascinated.

"Even the Silmarillion is not as important as my daughter. You don't need to persuade me. Of course I hope to have a happy ending."

On the other side, Gao Yuan was sitting next to Bilbo with Arwen, listening to the dwarves singing cheerful dwarf folk songs.

Bilbo took out the sting sword and asked Gao Yuan.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, someone told me that the sword will leave its name in history only after it has gone through war and made achievements in war. Is this true?"

"Or, it's just a letter opener." Speaking of this, Bilbo's mood was a little depressed.

Gao Yuan took the Sting Sword from Bilbo's hand, looked at it for a moment, and then handed it to Arwen.

Arwen carefully read the elven language on the sword, but it only recorded the name of the caster.

"Bilbo, you must know that every sword has its own name, and no one knows its name, perhaps because you are its first owner."

"As his first master, you can give him a name."

Gao Yuan returned the Sting Sword to Bilbo's hand.

Bilbo thought for a moment, not knowing what to name the sword, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't decided what to call him yet, and maybe I'm not ready to be its master."

"Becoming the master of a sword requires no preparation, Mr. Baggins." Arwen said softly and kindly.

"Whether the name of a sword can be remembered does not depend on how sharp it is, but on how great its holder is."

"You can't deny it just because it used to be ordinary."

"Perhaps in the future, its current or future owner will use it to write a legendary story in a great adventure."

Gao Yuan took a strange look at Arwen. Her words, to Gao Yuan, a traveler who is familiar with the plot, sounded more like a prophecy.

In The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, two of Middle-earth's most important stories, the two bearers of the Stinging Sword, Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins, were both a legendary person.

It is also the legendary stories of these two legendary figures that made this stinging sword leave a strong mark in the history of the third era and be remembered by people.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and it didn't end until dusk and night fell.

After the banquet, Gao Yuan bid farewell to Arwen, and together with Gandalf and the members of the Lonely Mountain Expedition, he found Elrond and wanted him to help the dwarves unlock the secrets on the Lonely Mountain map.

But when everyone actually found Elrond, and he was standing in front of Thorin, waiting for him to take out the map, Thorin was unwilling to take out the map of the Lonely Mountain and hand it to Elrond for interpretation. .

"This matter has nothing to do with your elves."

Thorin thought that Elrond was inquiring about the secrets about their trip to the Lonely Mountain, and he didn't want more people to know that Smaug might have left the Lonely Mountain.

He worried that the elves would covet the dwarves' inheritance in the Lonely Mountain, and he insisted that he was protecting it and the secrets it held.

It was not the first time that Gandalf had a headache because of Thorin's stubbornness.

Annoyed and helpless, he asked Thorin to take out the map.

Sorin replied to him like this: "That is the inheritance of my ancestors. As the heir to the throne of King of the Durin Dwarves and King of the Mountain, it is my duty to protect it and the secrets it carries."

Gandalf sneered. He had really, really, really had enough of the dwarf's stubbornness.

"Thorin Oakenshield, your arrogance and stubbornness are destined to lead to failure in your journey this time."

"I have told you more than once that standing in front of you is one of the few people in the entire Middle-earth who can understand maps, and the others are also elves, and they will not have such a good temper as Lord Elon .”

"Lord Elon is not interested in the so-called secrets and inheritances you said, Thorin Oakenshield." Seeing Thorin hesitate, Gao Yuan, who had been standing by the side, couldn't help but stand up.

Sorin turned his head and looked at Gao Yuan with cold eyes.

"Lord Elon learned of Gandalf's plan to help you drive away or kill Smaug and take back the Lonely Mountain during the Holy White Conference a year ago."

"If he wants to, Lord Elon has already led his own army, standing on the top of the Lonely Mountain, with Rivendell's flag planted."

Gao Yuan took out the contract he signed and threw it into Sorin's arms.

"That's exactly the case. I, who also participated in that meeting, was entrusted by Lord Galadriel to help you complete that plan with Gandalf. If you suspect that I also covet your so-called property or secrets , you can tear up this contract."

"Just as if nothing happened before, you don't need to share a penny of my treasure."

Gao Yuan sneered, he was suspicious all day long, he really looked like a miser.

After a long silence, after Gandalf's persuasion and Gao Yuan's explanation, he finally figured out that Elrond had never coveted their treasure; his expedition team really needed the secrets hidden on this map.

Letting go of his prejudices, Thorin finally handed over the map to Elrond.

Elrond took the map and carefully checked the text on the map.

He recognized the language in which the secret was written on the map.

Sindarin - Origin of all Elvish languages, known as Proto-Elvish.

　In the past two days, Kawen has been very good. I feel dissatisfied no matter how I write it. I deleted and changed it, changed it and deleted it.

　　It will be recommended on Monday, and I hope you will support me a lot.
