Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1067 1049. Sword Adjustment
Lann acted as a middleman and messenger, bringing friendly news between the two noble and powerful ladies, and then took back his long sword from Lady Galadriel.

The Elf Queen was in a good mood after hearing the news about her childhood friend. Her already elegant steps became even lighter and more joyful as she walked through the gardens of Rivendell.

Even the beautiful things in the garden, such as butterflies, birds, squirrels, and even flowers and buds, could not help but dance actively, in response to Galadriel's footsteps, as if they had intelligence.

If it were in another world, the Elf Queen in front of him would undoubtedly be a god.

The elves in this world appear to be inconspicuous on the surface, but they are actually extremely powerful.

Even two sparrows were perched on Lan's shoulders, chirping.

The witcher continued to walk beside Lady Galadriel.

"Lord Elrond once told me that I lacked the power to reach deep enough to touch something."

Lan En patted the scabbard at his waist.

"When this sword faced the evil spirit that could sneak into the netherworld, it seemed that it had used 100% of its strength, but only 10% of its strength fell on it. Is this because of the change in form?"

Galadriel nodded calmly.

"That's why I said, it's thanks to your strength. Otherwise, this kind of weapon that can't reach the deep power would be difficult to be effective in many cases."

In fact, it works quite well. I think it's mainly because the enemies in this world who can link themselves to deep forces are too outrageous.

Lan scratched his chin and licked his lips awkwardly.

Because there are too many such enemies, according to Elrond, basically all the weapons of the former high elves in the West must meet this standard to be considered qualified.

But in other worlds, when Lan En usually uses Arondate, the power of [Evil Breaking] is completely sufficient.

"I can help you realign this weapon, Adanisir."

The Elf Queen suddenly smiled and said.

Her long hair, which was more beautiful than the sun and the moon, was held up by an exquisite headband, keeping her elegant posture fixed even when she turned around.

"Let the form that Nimue messed up fit its essence, so that the weapon can still be called [designed for Aulë]."

When Galadriel was young, he studied knowledge and skills with the Valar and the Vali in the Blessed Lands of the West.

According to Lan En's understanding, she was educated personally by the fourteen main gods.

The Valar and the Vali are not high and mighty; their relationship with the Western elves is like that of good neighbors who live in the same place.

Not only forging, but also herbal medicine, art, medicine, Galadriel and other abilities all come from the teachings of many main gods.

And it sounds like even the Arondite of the Lady of the Lake was first designed by Aulë, the god of craftsmen, and later taught to Galadriel as a kind of knowledge.

And because the two ladies were good friends, Galadriel taught the Lady of the Lake the forging method and design of the sword.

The Lady in the Lake is truly a middleman.

Perhaps Lady Galadriel looked slender and graceful, not the type to be strong enough to do rough work like forging, but Lan believed that if the elven queen really picked up a sword, she would be an incredibly powerful person.

Well, it will definitely kill me.

So Lan En had no doubt about what the Elf Queen said.

Although this sword is called the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, in terms of understanding, the Lady of the Lake should not be as profound as Galadriel.

"After that, the power of this sword will be even deeper?"

"Of course, Adanisil." The Elf Queen smiled. "This sword was messed up by Nimue. She didn't understand forging and design deeply enough. Maybe she didn't even realize that she messed up when she changed the form."

"But I won't."

In addition to gentleness, Lady Galadriel's smile also carried a hint of well-deserved pride.

Thinking back to the Elf Queen's sarcastic comments on the Lady of the Lake's craftsmanship, Lan vaguely guessed that he was in Valinor, the blessed land of Arda.

How did these two noble ladies get along in their childhood?

Could it be that the Lady of the Lake, who is known as the conceptual god, has always been suppressed and sulking because of Lady Galadriel?
The witcher quickly suppressed this disrespectful thought in his mind and secretly laughed while imagining it.

In his hand, he held the Arondate with its scabbard and handed it to Lady Galadriel.

The Elf Queen did not extend her hand, but a white deer ran out from somewhere in the garden of Rivendell, walked in front of Lan, and arched its back towards the witcher.

Lan En tentatively placed the Sword of the Lady of the Lake on its back, and it was inexplicably stable. When the white deer jumped away, the long sword without a rope to hold it did not shake at all.

"Is there anything I can do for you, ma'am?"

After the inexplicably appearing white deer left, Lan En turned and spoke to the Elf Queen.

"No, don't worry about it, Adanisir. I was just cleaning up Nimue's mess. We used to do this all the time."

Galadriel smiled at the beauty of the memory.

She hadn't forged something with her own hands for a long time, and this time she adjusted Aarondite, largely because she also wanted to recall her childhood life.

"Just because you think so doesn't mean I can accept it, ma'am."

Lan En said softly.

"Although I didn't know much about the previous meeting, I could sense that a storm was brewing."

"If you need help, please."

Lan lowered his head and looked seriously into Lady Galadriel's eyes, which contained the light of the Two Trees.

He did not finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident. Galadriel smiled with interest.

"You may not know much, but you at least know what we may face, Adanisir."

"Even so, you want to help me when I don't ask for anything in return?"

"That's unnecessary, young man."

But Lan En just looked at her calmly.

After a long time, even the small animals that were attracted by Galadriel's relaxed and happy mood dispersed.
"Oh, I see. Nimue chose you for a reason."

The Elf Queen stretched out her hand and gently lifted a strand of silver hair that was scattered in front of the eyes of the demon hunter who was looking down at her.

She said softly.

"Go and rest, Adanisir."
-
After this meeting, Lann stayed in the warm atmosphere of Rivendell for another two days.

Two days later, Alondite was returned to him.

But the person sent back was not the Elf Queen, but Elrond.

He knocked on Lan's door, and when the witcher opened it, he saw the elven lord looking at the scabbard sword in his hand with a puzzled yet familiar look.

It seemed that he was looking at the long sword like this all the way when he took the Sword of the Lady of the Lake.

But soon after Lan En opened the door, he shook his head, as if to get rid of the familiar and confusing feeling from his mind.

Lan En didn't understand, but he didn't pursue it further.

After Elrond entered the room, he handed the long sword to its original owner.

"Take a look at it, Adanisir. It's like a forging that has been reborn."

After Aarondat came into Lan's hands, he automatically adapted to his size.

A demon hunter's appreciation for weapons is a habit that must be developed during his career.

Without Elrond saying anything, Lann immediately raised the long sword in front of him and gently opened the scabbard.

'Buzz~'

Just by pulling the scabbard out, the metal made a pleasant and long-lasting sound.

A flash of silver light, from the blade pulled out of the scabbard, reflected into Lan En's eyes.

The overall shape of the knife has not changed, it is still a smooth and graceful arc.

The prototype of Arondite was the magical medieval elves that the Lady of the Lake referenced when she changed the sword into a knife at Lan's request.

That is the weapon of the Ain Sidi tribe.

Unlike humans who commonly use one-handed swords and hand-and-a-half swords, the Aiun Sidi people mostly use long swords.

The elves of this world are more aesthetically pleasing than the Ain Sidi, but their most commonly used weapons are still long swords.

They are so light that their body shape and speed are comparable to those of ninjas, which allows this curved weapon to have more room for use.

Even the elves' spears do not have a straight tip at the front, but a blade with a straight back and a curved edge.

So in terms of overall shape, Alondate hasn't changed much.

However, after adjustments made by Lady Galadriel, the pattern on the blade has more curved lines added to the original one, giving it a smooth beauty.

And this weapon
The demon hunter subconsciously spun the knife. Even without activating his [Clairvoyance], he could feel the power within the knife, which was even stronger than before.

"Lady Galadriel learned the art of forging from the great Aule."

Elrond had already sat down elegantly on a chair in Lann's room, speaking softly.

"This sword is now worthy of any Elf King of the Western High Elves. It is a sword without equal."

"There are definitely not many swords like this in history. And..."

"and?"

Elrond's lingering words made Lan curious, but when he asked, the elf lord of Rivendell pursed his lips and had no intention of continuing.

"I'm not sure, so I'd better not say."

The witcher shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

"So now that the sword has been adjusted, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Lady Galadriel did say so."

Elrond spoke slowly and leisurely, which was his usual style.

"The matters discussed at the last Holy White Council are of great importance and must be carefully confirmed. Therefore, we need someone to go to Rudolf Plateau."

Lan En's thoughts turned slightly, and Mentos immediately began to release computing power.

"The place on the Rudolf Plateau where the Witch-king of Angmar was buried by magic?"

"Yes, we have to see whether the Morgul Blade is just a well-crafted replica or whether those things really returned to the human world."
