There was a long table in the middle of Elrond's big house. Now there were people on both sides, mostly elves, but there were also guests of other races. As the local master, the Elven king, as usual, sat on the throne at the end of the long table overlooking the crowd, with gloffindale on one side and Saruman on the other.
Zhao Mai did not sit down, but chose to stand behind Frodo, which made the halfling very nervous. He has mentioned this question several times, but Zhao Mai finally didn't agree. "Oh, Frodo, I'm not standing. You see, the soles of my feet are still some distance from the ground. "
In theory, Zhao Mai flew in, but the distance from the ground was very low. He had to lie down to see clearly. He didn't step into the room, eat anything, or drink. It's depressing that you can't come in to eat with the grain reserves. You should know that elves are mainly vegetarian all day long. Although they can digest meat, they usually have no reserves and rarely serve on the table. In order to entertain guests from all over the world, ravendale bought meat from Bree, a human town. That's the fairy barbecue! Grain reserves can only be watched eagerly.
Whether it's Elrond, grofendale or Saruman, when sitting in the upper position, they all exude a noble atmosphere. There are other people, although the breath is not as strong as the three, but it is easy to draw the conclusion that they are not ordinary people. However, no matter what the breath is, as long as it is close to Zhao Mai and Frodo, it will be blocked. Zhao Mai uses his own natural force to form a field. Unless he can find a way to adapt to the environmental rules of this small area, any spell and power will be affected. It takes a lot of energy to do this, but it's worth it to be able to block countless peeping eyes.
Griffindale has blonde hair, and his identity is the most special of all. Elrond is the king of the elves, but not the only one in the world. Saruman is the head of the wizard and the speaker of the holy white Council, but he is not the only wizard after all. However, gloffindale is the only one who died bravely in battle with the burning devil of morgos, resurrected in vilino, and then sent back to Middle Earth by Vera and Maiya. His power is no less than saluman, no less than the spirit king with the wind ring.
He looked at Zhao Mai curiously, constantly searching for information from his memory. Now in retrospect, no matter whether Angmar, the wizard king of the ring spirit, was washed away by the Xiangshui river at the beginning, it was just the splash aroused by that blow that brought all the people down. It's conceivable that if you hit yourself with that fist, you will explode into a spray in the air. There's no doubt about that. Who is he? Is there such a strong guy in the world?
Elrond seemed to know something, but he didn't share it with anyone, including saluman. "That's tverdo, a friend of the starelves, a very brave soldier." That's what Elrond said. But how tverdo became a friend of the star elves, and how he was allowed to continue to protect Frodo because of his bravery, is a mysterious unknown.
A lot of people are very interested in Zhao Mai's identity, and this interest will also shift to the halfling Frodo. Not everyone knows the real purpose of this meeting. Most people just listen to Elrond's call and come here to "discuss how to face the evil threat of the East". As for the Lord of the rings, it is hidden by this issue.
Zhao Mai met everyone's curious eyes and slowly closed his eyes. This does not affect his momentum in the slightest, but can make people with ghosts more worried. Originally, many people wanted to meet new friends, especially the rare halfling outside the country of the shire. They didn't give up. So Frodo's only new friend was groyne the dwarf.
Groyin once ventured with Frodo's great uncle Bilbo Baggins, who was one of the twelve dwarfs who recaptured irubo. Frodo said his admiration, and groyin introduced his son. "I'll let Jinli come to you later. You young people should get to know each other. He's much stronger than I used to be. He's a good ax. Take him to the elves to see the world this time. Well, the last time we were here, we were sneaking away. We can't do that this time. "
After chatting about friendship for a while, the topic soon turned to the current situation in China. Mordor has successfully carried out several rounds of looting, and its surrounding races and kingdoms have been hit. It is said that a new round of attack is brewing, and everyone is in a panic.
"Watch out for irubo, Sauron will attack there. He needs wealth, enough steel and equipment, and irubo is his best choice. " Zhao Mai suddenly opened his eyes and put in a word. "Evil is spreading in the dark forest, and it's hard to block the flank of the orc's road to the north. Help the spirit... "
"Maybe the elves of ravendale are our friends. King Elrond once helped us to read maps and entertained us. But the spirit of the dark forest is another thing Groyin was a little surprised. He thought Zhao Mai couldn't speak. "Where are you from, elf?"
"I'll tell you a little secret, but I'm not an elf." Zhao Mai blinked his eyes and then stopped talking.
"It's mysterious. Elves are so strange!" The dwarf looked at Frodo and said, "Oh, what did you say?""Find Balin."
"Oh, yes. When there is good news, there is bad news. " Groyin sighed: "to be fair, everyone is very busy, elves, humans, witches. Look over there, the Knights of Gondor, and the Knights of Rohan. Why do humans use the same word? How troublesome! Humans are being beaten, elves are being beaten. We dwarves are OK, at least we beat the orcs! I'm afraid the only one who hasn't been beaten is the wizard. I prefer Gandalf in grey to saluman in white. It's not because he and I once ventured together to take back the dwarf's hometown irubo, but because he was more kind and friendly to us. It's just Sometimes he doesn't know where he's going, but he always appears when he needs to
Can you show up in time this time? Zhao Mai thought of saluman, who was full of air. If he didn't have enough confidence, he would not come to ellund's meeting. What happened to Gandalf? Without him, where would the ring guard be?
At present, only Frodo can carry the ring, which is hard for others to bear. Zhao Mai has felt the call of the Lord of the rings for many times, and he is also eager to use the ring to do good things, such as improving the environment, improving education, and benefiting the whole world. Fortunately, he knows that the world is just a parallel world, and there may be problems with all the ideas left to benefit the world. Moreover, his world will is almost zero. He is a "nobody" in this conference hall, and the Lord of the rings doesn't spend too much effort on him.
So who is being affected?
After the welcome dinner, there will be a formal meeting the next day.
