The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 135 Cirdan

As early as before the sun rose, some blessed creatures were able to wake up in Cuvier under the shining of the stars, and lived here for a long time. They were the firstborn children of Iluvita, the elves.

Cirdan was born during this time period. He, like Singol, the High King of the Sindar tribe, is the descendant of the Enel couple, one of the first three pairs of elves to wake up. They are the ancestors of the Teleri family.

As an elf born in the starlight, Cirdan has experienced a lot in his life. He not only participated in the great migration of the three elf races, but also participated in most of the wars that took place in the past 7000 years, and paid for it. A lot of effort was put into it.

The most commendable thing is that Cirdan's shipbuilding skills are extremely high. As early as thousands of years ago, he was able to build ships that sailed in the sea. The holy white ship "Venkilot" was built by Cirdan with the help of Erendil.

Mastering such outstanding shipbuilding skills, it stands to reason that Cirdan could have sailed to the place of immortality that he longed for long ago, but he did not do this, because he shouldered an extraordinary mission, that is, to take all The elves were all sent to Valinor.

This is an extremely difficult task, and Cirdan has spent thousands of years on it. Since the defeat of Morgoth, the king of the Sindar tribe has settled in Gray Haven with his elves. He came down and built a lot of big ships there to fulfill his mission. Even the five wizards who rushed to Middle-earth from Valinor were received by Cirdan, and he took a fancy to the digital Maier at a glance. , wisest Gandalf.

During the meeting, he kept an eye on Gandalf from time to time. The two hadn't seen each other for hundreds of years since the last White Daoist meeting. At that time, Gandalf declined his offer to be the leader. Erdan was a little disappointed by this, but he did not have any prejudice against the gray robe wizard, and believed that Gandalf must have his own ideas in doing so.

Sure enough, for hundreds of years, Gandalf has been traveling all over Middle-earth, giving advice to the kings of various forces to fight against the darkness. Gandalf will naturally appear in front of you when needed, but if you It would be extremely difficult to find him. Naturally, such a situation is not suitable for being the leader of the Baidaohui.

And Cirdan is not very interested in the battle against Sauron. He has his own mission in Middle-earth. In terms of battle, he prefers to take risks in the sea. The last time he was in Los Loryan Cirdan did not attend the meeting of the Baidaohui held. At that time, he was driving a seaboat on the rough sea.

Of course, he will still lend a helping hand when his allies need it. After all, after the fall of Jill Galad, Cirdan has become the leader of the Lindon elves, commanding a powerful elf army. When the darkness invades, he will definitely dedicate his own strength to it.

However, if the enemy does not attack aggressively, the elves living in Linton prefer a stable life. They are keen to enjoy the beauty of the sea by the sea, or take a boat trip for an adventure that is worth mentioning. , Lindon elves like silver very much, and have outstanding skills in making silver jewelry and silver tableware. They use it as a commodity to trade with the forces in Middle-earth.

As the leader of the Linton elves, Cirdan also supports his relatives to maintain such a life. The visionary and wise Cirdan knows that the role of the elves has been played in the first and second eras. , in the Third Age and beyond, the protagonists are humans, especially the strongest among humans, the Númenoreans.

Cirdan had already heard about Alan who was sitting next to Gandalf in the meeting. After all, it was the existence of Smaug who killed the dragon. Take it to Gray Harbor, and not long ago, there was also a caravan, in the name of King Rovanian, bought a lot of silver jewelry and silver tableware in the Kingdom of Linton, if Cirdan remembers correctly If so, the young leader of the caravan, the wise and wise human king mentioned in his mouth, is the young man in front of him.

During the meeting, Cirdan observed the tense atmosphere between Saruman, Alan, and Gandalf. After all, they had reached the point where they were about to make a big move. He didn't notice Saruman's tricks against Allen. After all, no matter how old he was, Cirdan was just a gray elf who had never seen the Two Sacred Trees. He might be very wise and prestigious, but his strength Compared with other bosses at the meeting, it is still a bit worse. Of course, the bosses here do not include Alan who was fully armed at the meeting. No matter how you look at it, Alan was still the weakest one at that time. one person.

At that time, from Cirdan's own point of view, most of the conflicts that occurred at the meeting came from Alan's rude words to Saruman, although those words were very strange and seemed to contain some kind of meaning that was not easy to understand , but Alan's expression and tone at that time had completely expressed his disdain for Saruman. You must know that the white-robed wizard in front of him was the nominal leader of the White Daoist Society, who came to Middle-earth from Valinor all the way. Cirdan felt that no matter what, Allen should not treat a wise man dedicated to fighting darkness like this.

So no matter whether it was the end of the meeting or the companionship along the way, Cirdan just quietly listened to Elrond and Aaron talking about their daily routines, and never took the initiative to say a word to them. I felt that Alan wanted to make friends with him. After all, the eyes of this young man who looked over from time to time were too eager, but Cirdan, who already had prejudices in his heart, was not willing to make friends with Alan. The handsome elf king didn't show any embarrassing expressions on his face. Facing Alan's greetings, he always smiled and nodded in response.

And Allen, who had been talking with Elrond along the way, naturally didn't know what Cirdan was thinking. Apart from hoping that Elrond boss would help him match up with Arno's descendants, he talked freely along the way. At the same time, I also had a little extravagant hope in my heart, that is, if Elrond boss heard that his situation was so miserable, might he send some powerful elf warriors to help him fight this battle? It is difficult to have too much hope for this, and it is good to be successful, and Allen will prepare some expensive gifts in return, if not, then there is no way, and he has no better way, is it possible? Kneeling down suddenly to recognize a "grandfather"?
As for Cirdan on the side, Alan was planning to find a way to make friends with Elrond after the detailed discussion with Elrond. At this time, Alan had a trace of resentment towards Gandalf in his heart, because after the meeting , Gandalf disappeared again and again, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Alan. If the gray-robed wizard is here, he can be used as an intermediary to introduce Alan himself and Cirdan, then the rest will be natural. It will be very simple.

However, things are always unpredictable. Alan's words in front of Elrond made Cirdan re-acquainted with the young human being in front of him. At this time, the young king seemed to be completely different from the meeting. It's not the same person. At that time, he was still a reckless young man who showed his sharpness and didn't know how to be polite, but now he has become a wise king who is farsighted, worried about his people and can understand others. As for what Alan said at this moment Cirdan does not doubt whether it is true or not, because Elrond with the help of "Via" has the ability to read people's hearts. Perhaps Alan can hide certain things from him, but "deception" is almost impossible. possible.

"As far as I know, there are indeed quite a few descendants of Arno. It seems that you use their lost treasures as a stepping stone to form a friendship. It seems to be a matter with a high success rate, but if this matter is dealt with If it’s not good, it’s easy to have some other meanings in it. What I want to say is, if they are not willing to send troops to help you attack the Dongyi people, you are still willing to return the "Star of Elendil" to those who are here A nomad living in the wilderness?"

Cirdan, who temporarily put aside his prejudices, suddenly inserted such a sentence in the gap after listening to the conversation between Alan and Elrond. He wanted to help Alan in this matter, as he misunderstood others before At the same time, Cirdan also wants to know whether the human youth in front of him will use the "Star of Elendil" as a bargaining chip to force the northern vagrants to participate in a war that does not belong to them. This determines whether the young man in front of him is worthy of forest The Elves allied themselves with it, and Cirdan believed that in the presence of Elrond, Alan's answers could hardly be false.

Sure enough, the issue of Cirdan was also concerned by Elrond. In fact, the "grandfather" of the Arno royal family also thought of this, but in his concept, Alan also had the Numenoreans. With his blood, he should not do anything too extreme, and as an elder, he is also embarrassed to ask such a question.

"My lord, I think it should be his mother, Ms. Gillean, who will replace Estaire to manage the northern wanderers at this time. Regardless of whether this venerable lady agrees to my conditions, I will send "Star of Elendil" "Return it to them. In fact, this treasure is just a stepping stone. I will pay other prices as rewards to thank them for their help. The most important thing is that they are willing to sit down and listen to my thoughts. On the surface, they are actually very secretive, and at the same time, they are not willing to come into contact with strangers suddenly."

Cirdan glanced at Elrond's expression for a while, and after seeing nothing unusual, he nodded and continued, "In fact, I had a few brief meetings with Ms. His descendants have always maintained a good friendship, if you want, I can guarantee this matter once."

Allen didn't know why Cirdan made such a decision. Although it is always good to have another big boss to guarantee himself, as long as there is Elrond's recommendation for this matter, the chance of success is actually very high However, Cirdan's guarantee is actually superfluous. Allen feels that this kindness cannot be used in this matter, which is an extremely wasteful behavior.

"My lord, thank you very much for your help in this matter. However, I have already entrusted Lord Elrond with this matter. As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters, so I will not bother you. However, I have always had an unfeeling request, hoping to get the help of Linton Kingdom, I hope you can consider it, my lord."

"Oh?"

Seeing that there was no hesitation on Cirdan's face, Allen briefly talked about the need for ships, and Cirdan said that he had no problem with it, although the elves of the Linton Kingdom were more keen on building ships. Ships, but they can also build ships used on rivers. Cirdan generously stated that he happens to have a few Sindar elves who are skilled enough in shipbuilding. After returning to Gray Harbor, they will send them to Long Lake. Town, where he helped Allen complete the construction of the navy, and went to the Woodland Kingdom to see his relatives whom he hadn't seen for a long time, killing two birds with one stone.

Allen was naturally overjoyed at Cirdan's unusually generous help. He even said that he would prepare enough valuable gifts to thank the Kingdom of Linton for his help. Cirdan waved his hand and refused, and instead invited Allen if he had time. , You can come to Gray Haven as a guest to take a look at the charm of the sea, and facing Cirdan who has just helped him a lot, Allen naturally cannot refuse, and even said that he will go to Gray Haven at the right time.

When everything was said and done, the leaders of the three forces started chatting on the long journey. After all, with Allen's efforts, the Antonin Valley can be said to be very safe now, and they have a large number of people. Time and leisure to reminisce about the past.

Cirdan and Elrond actually knew each other very early. The time when they met for the first time can even be traced back to the first era. After all, Cirdan and Elrond's father, Erendil Friends, in every sense, they are a generation older than Elrond, they have countless common languages ​​to chat, and Allen benefits from the documents that record various major events, and occasionally can talk to the two elves. A few words were inserted into the elder's words, and at the same time, he also learned some secrets that he didn't know before.

Among them, the two things that Alan cared about the most, one was the Silmaril once belonged to the Noldor family, and one was thrown into the deep sea by Maglor, one of the sons of Fëanor, in Frocher Ice Bay. The thing is that Cirdan accidentally talked about what his friend Ulmo, the lord of the waters, was talking about. When the two were lamenting the beauty of the three jewels, they accidentally talked about the whereabouts of the jewels. Ulmo, the king, naturally knew where the jewel that sank into the sea was now, but Ulmo, who had no greed, did not put away the jewel, but let it lie quietly in the deep sea. middle.

Another thing is that with the return of Sauron, the remnants of the former Angmar Kingdom got reinforcements from somewhere and became a little arrogant. Some humans living in the fringe seemed to be attacked by these dark servants According to the description of the two, Allen felt that these half-orcs were probably the remnants of the escaped forces in the battle of Gushan, but these guys don't need to worry about Allen, the two big men in front of him will send soldiers To expel them, as for whether they need the help of the northern vagrants, it depends on the two big brothers.

Running along the wide wasteland along Los Lorian, if you want to go to the high pass, it will take about a month, and this journey, Alan and the others will spend less than two months. It was only because the three of them were talkative people that they spent a lot of time just chatting on the way.

However, at the end of the gathering, there is always a farewell. Allen, Cirdan and Elrond's team separated at the old ferry. After more than three months, Allen returned to his territory again.

　As for the location of the Silmarillion, I actually didn't find out which piece of sea Fëanor's son was thrown into, so I just made up one. Anyone who knows it can tell me, and I can change it.
