Falsifying history is good business

Not to mention Elrond, the half-elf lord who was born later, even Gandalf, the "Maia" born from the mind of the Creator God, did not have the ability to comprehend the mystery of time; so, they naturally failed to understand the deep meaning of Lin You's words.

"The speed at which time passes? How should I understand your words? Does your world have day and night? Is the length of each day and night cycle different from ours?" Elrond asked.

Lin You nodded in agreement: "That's not wrong. The same day does have a different length in the two worlds."

"It's understandable. People on the east side of the Misty Mountains see the sunrise earlier than people on the west side of the mountains every day." Gandalf joked, and it was unclear whether he was pretending to be stupid. "On the same continent, the time is different, not to mention two completely different worlds. Even the sun is not the same, right?"

"Indeed. In fact, apart from the fact that both worlds are spheres and have the sun, moon and stars, there are many other similarities between the two worlds. For example, both worlds have elves, dwarves and halflings. However, although they have the same name and look similar, I am sure that they are not the same kind."

Lin You did not intend to continue to discuss the issue of time in depth, and instead talked about the similarities and differences between the two worlds; as the topic unfolded, at least the banquet did not become dull.

When the moon showed a small crescent on the top of the mountain, Gandalf winked at Thorin, and the two left the table together; a moment later, Elrond also left. Lin You guessed that the three had something to talk about, but he had no desire to ask.

Everyone has their own troubles, and Lin You has his own troubles. The so-called "speed of time" problem before actually has nothing to do with the world of Alda or the demon hunter.

What is speeding up is not the time of any world in the virtual dimension, but the real dimension.

To be precise, the flow of time in Arda, the world of The Lord of the Rings, has slowed down, causing the time in the real dimension to speed up relatively.

When meeting Dandelion in the Demon Hunter world, Lin You used the real dimension time as a reference to ask when the celestial conjunction began to appear; the answer he got at that time was "one to one and a half days ago in the real dimension", while half a year had passed in the Demon Hunter world itself.

The time comparison between the two dimensions is about 1:120; after one day in the real dimension, about 120 days have passed in the Witcher world.

Since Lin You came to the world of the Lord of the Rings, counting from the time when he burned and killed orcs in the Mirkwood, three days have passed - three days in the world of the Lord of the Rings; and during this time, exactly one day has passed in the real dimension.

The time comparison between the two dimensions is one to three; in other words, the flow of time in the Lord of the Rings world is about forty times slower than that in the Witcher world.

The writer has already realized that something is wrong.

According to Gandalf and Elrond, the unusual movements of the orcs in the Misty Mountains have been going on for nearly half a year; if the unusual movements of the orcs occurred synchronously with the conjunction of the celestial sphere, it means that the flow of time in the two worlds was not much different before, and about half a year has passed on both sides since the appearance of the space-time gap.

It can be inferred from this that the change in the speed of time only occurred after Lin You crossed the time gap; it was after he entered Alda that the time in this world suddenly slowed down.

Considering that Arda is connected to the Demon Hunter World through the Celestial Conjunction, and the Demon Hunter World is closely connected with the Big World...does it mean that the time of the Big World has now been synchronously slowed down by forty times?
Who is behind this? And more importantly... why?
"When we return this time, should we link the time of the big world with the time of the real dimension and come up with a 'fixed exchange rate'?" The more the writer thought about it, the more headache he had.

Over the next few days, the dwarves stayed in Rivendell to rest and recuperate at the request of Elrond and Gandalf, in order to gather their strength for the next journey across the Misty Mountains and the Mirkwood.

As for Lin You, as he said, he maintained his last bit of patience and finally waited for most members of the "Holy White Council" to gather.

"I thought Radagast was also a member of the parliament." Lin You only saw four people when he entered the meeting room. He already knew Elrond and Gandalf, but he had never seen the other two, but he already knew their identities.

Although his memory of The Hobbit trilogy was interrupted in his previous life, Lin You was deeply impressed by them as they were important characters that also appeared in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

"Radigast is indeed a member of the council, but he is currently occupied with important tasks and has no time to come here." Gandalf explained, and then took on the responsibility of introducer, introducing Lin You to the others.

Saruman, a wizard in a white robe, revealed his identity through his robe. He was the most attentive to appearance among the three wizards Lin You had ever seen in this world. Compared to Gandalf's approachability and Radagast's unrestrainedness, Saruman was more majestic, with an unquestionable sharpness in his calm eyes.

This is not an easy person to get along with! And I don't know if it's because I knew in advance that he would become a traitor in the future, but I always feel that the white robe is somewhat arrogant and has ulterior motives. As for the other female elf, Lady Galadriel, she is so beautiful and majestic that Lin You can't describe it in words; even though her own life level is above everyone present, the writer will still be amazed at the extraordinary temperament of this female elf that is almost born naturally.

When they greeted each other, Galadriel's voice was ethereal and distant, as if it had descended from the heavens to the earth; even more amazing was her eyes, as if one could see the brilliance of the sun and the moon in them, more dazzling than the starlight in Elrond's eyes.

And she was really tall! She was half a head taller than the 17-year-old Lin You who was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

"Gandalf said that you are a messenger from a foreign land, and that the so-called 'Conjunction of the Spheres', the invasion of foreign lands by orcs, etc., are all strange stories I have never heard of. But he did not explain them clearly, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false. I am very sorry, could you please take the trouble to clear up my confusion?" After the meeting began, Saruman was the first to speak, and his target was directly at Lin You.

The feeling of arrogance grew stronger.

Gandalf's face suddenly changed, because he knew the temper of this "old friend" too well; what did "unclear" and "hard to distinguish true from false" mean? He had explained it clearly enough, but Saruman's nature was hard to change. He usually liked to look down on other "Maiyas" in Middle-earth. Now it was just a relapse of his old illness.

The problem is... this foreign visitor is not someone you can show off to! Just because you usually look down on me, Gandalf, you can't think that I am exaggerating and deliberately praising him, right?
Lin You couldn't hear the gray-robed wizard's inner voice, but he knew the white-robed wizard's plan very well. Amidst the mocking sneer, the writer spoke: "It's not your fault that you are ignorant. You don't need to apologize for it. I'll repeat it again without much effort."

As soon as these words came out, it was Saruman's turn to change color.

"Ah, I almost forgot." Lin You didn't even look at the darkened face of the white-robed wizard. He pretended to suddenly remember something important. He first raised his hand and patted his forehead, then summoned the snake-wrapped staff and pointed it to the sky. "Instead of letting me explain it in words, it's better to let you see it with your own eyes. It's more intuitive and credible."

The golden light on the scepter flashed and disappeared, and in an instant thunder resounded through the sky, breaking the long-lasting silence of Rivendell.

Soon people discovered that the sound just now was not a bolt from the blue, but the sound of the spatial boundaries being broken when Lin You used his powerful force to open up the dimensional space.

All the participants were knowledgeable and experienced, and had more or less personally witnessed the great scenes of the earth-shattering and shattered mountains and rivers in the First and Second Eras; so they almost immediately realized that this was the power that only the "Vara" possessed.

A huge dimensional gate opened above the venue; on the other side of the gate, the ruined, desolate and hideous scene of Dol Guldur was in full view.

The dimensional door turned slightly, leading everyone's attention to the hill where the castle was located. What came into view was a space-time rift that stretched for hundreds of feet, like a huge scar across the air.

Under the gap in time and space, the magic circle set up by Lin You before was flickering with light; it was it that provided the accurate coordinate positioning for the dimensional space gate.

At the same time, the evil aura that had accumulated in Dol Guldur for hundreds of years surged in through the dimensional gate, threatening to overwhelm and engulf Rivendell.

The protective magic surrounding the valley responded instantly. Two "torrents", one clear and one turbid, collided head-on in the air, and the sky and the earth changed color for a moment.

"Did you see it clearly, Mr. Saruman?" Lin You asked slowly.

Saruman's face was livid, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. Elrond had to plead, "Mr. Forrester, please do not let evil infect Rivendell."

Lin You turned around with a hint of apology in his eyes, then took back the scepter and closed the dimensional space door.

The invading evil aura became a sourceless water and was quickly swept away by Rivendell's protective magic.

No one spoke for a long time in the meeting room. Everyone looked at each other, but Lin You remained calm.

The meeting continues! (End of this chapter)
