The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 94 Not a Rare Magic Item

"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong, ah~"

Beorn, who was busy, drank a large glass of mead happily, smiled and said to Allen: "Allen, I heard that you are going to travel again? After we came back from the Lonely Mountain, you seem to have no Have you rested? You are a bit too busy, so pay attention to your body."

Allen also finished a glass of mead, shook his head with a smile, and said:
"I can't take it easy. Whether it's the old pass or the dense forest road, there are some imminent things. The sooner the better, but after returning from the lonely mountain this time, it will probably be much easier."

Alan thought about the busy time of this period, and said: "There is no way to go to the Lonely Mountain. Thorin will become the king of Durin. As a friend, I must attend his enthronement ceremony. However, This time I’m going to take Grimm to have a look, how is your house? Can you come over here quickly? Do you need me to arrange some people to come over and help take care of Marianne?”

The recent nurse training course held by James is still very effective. It may be a little problematic to let these women do the work of delivering babies, but it is not a big problem to take care of pregnant women and newborn babies after giving birth.

The main reason is that Beorn's wife, Marianne, has just given birth and is still recuperating. If Grimm follows Allen to the Lonely Mountain, then the burden of taking care of his wife and daughter will be on Beorn's body.

At the same time, Beorn had to take care of the two things entrusted to him by Allen. Allen was a little worried about what was going on in Beorn's house.

Beorn, who poured himself another full glass of mead, laughed and said, "No, no, you can take him there anyway. It would be good to let that brat see more big scenes. Besides, I think he seems to be quite happy with you, and when he came back, he mentioned you in front of me every day, saying that he learned a lot from you."

Speaking of which, Beorn took another big gulp of the honey wine, and continued: "And that kid doesn't like to stay at home, and he doesn't like to follow me to take care of these flowers, plants, cows, horses, etc., so let him follow me." You are also a very good choice, and I am very relieved. Oh, by the way, when are you planning to leave? I will prepare it for that boy Grimm, after all, this kid has never traveled far."

At this time, Alan was actually still thinking, "Did I teach Grim anything specifically? No, maybe I learned from other colleagues."

It's just that what Allen didn't think about was that a young man who is good at learning doesn't need others to tell him what he should do.

Grimm, who is only 16 years old, will naturally learn some qualities that he thinks are suitable for him from those he admires and admires, such as bravery, diligence, leadership and so on.

In the end, Alan didn't want to understand, and told Beorn the plan he had discussed with Jamila.

"Don't worry, let's go in about three days."

After speaking, Allen took out the gift he had prepared for Rebecca from his body and pushed it to Beorn.

"In the customs of my hometown, the elders always give some gifts to the newborn juniors. I prepared this longevity lock for Rebecca. I named it "Protection". I hope that Rebecca will, As warm as the sun, as strong as a tree, as beautiful as a flower. By the way, remember to let Rebecca wear it often, it is good for the body."

Beorn frowned as he looked at this dazzling gift under the sun, and fell into deep thought. He was not fascinated by the beautiful jewels, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered the rough sapphire.

It was the pendant that Kress found from the half-orc, and it was also a relic of Beorn's brother's family. Now, the pendant is still treasured in Kress' treasure.

It was also because of that gemstone that Beorn established initial trust in Allen, and it was also from then on that the two sides had the deep friendship they have today.

Thinking of all this, Beorn put away his intention of refusing, and thanked Allen from the bottom of his heart.

Beorn, who has lived in the Misty Mountains all year round, does not have much pursuit of precious metals and gems, but he can still see the preciousness of this gift.

Just such an exquisite jewelry, no matter which country is keen on jewelry, it is a valuable thing.

Soon, Beorn, who picked up the Longevity Lock, felt a magical energy of life, which also made him understand why his good friend asked Rebecca to wear this accessory often. Very good for Rebecca now.

In fact, things like magic are not particularly rare in Middle Earth, especially items with magical power. There are a lot of them, and most of them are produced by elves.

For example, Aragorn wore an emerald named Elessa in the future. It is said that the person who holds this gem can heal the wounds of all things with the touch of his hands.

For example, after the big horn of the Hurin family, that is, the one in Boromir's hand, is blown, its sound can be transmitted to relatives thousands of miles away.

Of course, the cloak of Rose Lorien, the gate made by the dwarves, the lights that are always on in the elf territory, and the Palantir spar that can be seen thousands of miles away, etc. all contain magical elements.

However, the most powerful and well-known magical ornaments are the three beautiful and huge jewels. They were created in the era of the Double Trees by Fëanor, the great craftsman of the Noldor, fused with the light of the Two Holy Trees. made, and even the Valar marveled at their beauty.

These three gemstones are not only incomparably beautiful, Varda in Vera consecrated them, and any evil that comes into contact with them will be burned by the dazzling light, even the dark lord Mogou at that time. Si is no exception.

In the battle of Dol Guldur, if Lady Galadriel held the Silmarillion, Sauron might not even be able to finish a few sentences, and would be crushed to ashes by the power of the Silmarillion .

At that time, what Lady Galadriel held was only a crystal bottle that captured a gleam of the star of Erendil, and Sauron did not last long in front of it before being expelled.

This shows how holy and powerful the power of the three Silmarils is.

However, such beautiful and holy gemstones wrote a bloody story for the elves around the first era, because they happened between the Noldor elves, Falmari elves, Sindar elves, and humans. There were as many as three "kin killings" during the period.

Not to mention that Thingol, the king of the Sindar clan, died tragically at the hands of the dwarves because of Nauglamir, who was studded with diamonds. relation.

Of course, the story of the Silmarillion is not entirely a tragedy. In the famous love story of "Beren and Lúthien" in Middle-earth, the Silmarillion occupies a considerable space. Of course, this story is not all beautiful, but rather Much better had happened to the clan of the Noldor.

Most importantly, at the end of the first era, Eärendil, who possessed the blood of humans and the Noldor, wore the Silmaril passed down from Beren and Lúthien. Valinor was found in the sea.

It also allowed the ancestor of the Númenor kings to finally seek the help of Valar, and between light and darkness, the last confrontation known as the "Wrath of Wrath" took place.

At the same time, this jewel was still in the battle, helping Eärendil defeat the most powerful dragon "Ankaragan" under Morgoth, and laid the foundation for victory in the Battle of Wrath.

And now, one of these three gems is still worn on Eärendil's forehead, and the light it emits has become the star of Eärendil in the sky, also known as the star of great hope.

The whereabouts of the other two are regrettable. Feanor's eldest son Maedhros took one of them and threw himself into the fissures of the earth full of flames, and the other was thrown into the sky by Feanor's second son Maglor into the sea.

In front of these three Silmarils, whether it is the Supreme Lord of the Rings created by Sauron, or the Star of Eldir, which can make half-orcs fear, is nothing.

Of course, the "protection" held by Beorn at this time cannot be compared with it, but in today's Middle-earth, this is already a very valuable magic item.

At this time, Beorn, who was holding the "protection", looked at Allen and didn't know what to say. He had already expressed his gratitude before, should he thank him again?

Under the entanglement, Beorn hid this gratitude in his heart and put away the "protection".

Allen, who had finished everything, chatted with Beorn for a while, and rode out of the garden with a little drunkenness, returning to Wilderness Town.

In the morning three days later, Jamila, who had made all the preparations, woke up Alan who was still asleep at the door.

"My lord, are you awake? According to your instructions, we have to leave early today."

Under Jamila's gentle call, Allen woke up from his sleep. He dealt with government affairs last night and thought about the gains and losses of the recent period. He struggled to go to bed until late, so he stayed in bed today.

When Alan packed up everything and walked out of the gate of the lord's house, several of his main men had been waiting at the gate a long time ago.

Because the team that set off today is not only Allen and his party who are going to the Lonely Mountain, Manid and Desaiwei will also lead the cavalry archers to form a scouting team to go to Eriador to get a preliminary understanding of the business atmosphere there.

Rovanian's East-West Avenue is not particularly safe. There are a lot of human scum who want to get something for nothing, doing business without money there. Allen specifically told Desaiwei not to show mercy when he meets them, and clean them up. Or return the captives.In order not to affect Alan's plan in the future.

In the previous days, as the elder brothers of humans, the elves of the valley were not easy to attack them, but Alan, as the lord of humans, would never be polite to these guys.

And Manid, who has been in Middle-earth for more than a week, has also understood many things during this time, knowing the business situation of Rovanian and Eriador.

The commercial activities in the two places are too scarce. Even Wilderness Town only has a little trade with the Woodland Kingdom, and the goods traded are pitifully small. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The experienced Manid understands that the lack of commercial activities means that the goods are not flowing, and it also means that as long as you find the right direction, it is easy to obtain huge profits, and huge profits will definitely attract more humans to form caravans. Contribute to local commercial activities.

The young and handsome businessman was full of confidence in this trip, but what surprised him was that his lord specially told him to bring more "old Toby" when he came back yesterday.

"Old Toby" is the pipe weed that is abundant in Changgu Town, South Shire. This kind of tobacco leaf can help Allen quickly stabilize his mind when his thoughts are complicated. More importantly, the side effects of these pipe weeds are very low. It is not as addictive as cigarettes in previous lives.

When Manid asked about the specific information of "Old Toby", Allen did not explain in detail, but asked Manid to find a man named Albert Dreyri after he arrived in Bree Town.

That's Alan's friend in Bree Town. As long as you inquire about someone who likes to eat carrots in Bree Town, you can easily find him. Carrot Lovers" for some simple help.

Alan still has this confidence.

If Albert Dreilly doesn't have time, or can't find it, Alan also gave Manid another option, that is the owner of the Prancing Horse Inn. Alan's reputation for generosity is also very useful there. .

If something was not easy to deal with, Allen also told Manid the name of Old Bill, the hooligan who has been active in Bree town all the year round, he must know some dark things well, as long as he pays a little Money, he will naturally serve Manid.

As for whether the old Bill will repeat the same tricks and find opportunities to entrap Manid, Allen believes that he has impressed him enough, and Desaiwei and the forty mounted archers are also enough to protect Manid's safety.

In short, last night, Allen handed over all his resources in Eriador to Manid. If the time was not really inappropriate, Allen hoped that he would lead the caravan and his two A friend was sent to Bree Town, and after arranging everything, he returned to Wilderness Town.

It's just that Bilbo and Gandalf are going to the Lonely Mountain with him now, and this trip will take at least more than a month to come back. In order not to waste time, Alan can only let Manid and Desaiwei go first. .

Even so, Allen gave Manid a few more words before setting off.

"Manid, after you arrive at Eriador, don't rush back. On the premise of paying attention to safety, go around among various forces. If possible, I hope you can go to Gray Harbor, where is The territory of the elves does not require you to do anything, as long as you can establish a preliminary relationship."

After Manid heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will pay special attention." At the moment when he was about to set off, Manid's inner emotions were complicated, and he had trust in Allen. The gratitude, the nervousness of being the first boss, and the excitement of going to a strange place.

And Allen thought about it again, and asked a few more words.

"Manid, I hope you don't worry, we have plenty of time, you can go around more, see more, try to bring back some specialties from there, and remember my "old Toby"."

"I know, my lord, if you don't have any other orders, I'll go first."

"Well, let's go."

Dozens of people who got on their horses saluted Allen who was standing at the gate of the city, and then set off in the direction of the high pass.

And Allen looked at the people around him, smiled and said, "Then let's go too."
