[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Although Melkor was so proud of himself in front of Romimos, as if he had already seen the day when he would become the king of Arda, but only a few decades had passed. The army came from the west, and the way was so overwhelming that Melkor was terrified, because he was blinded by his pride, and even thought that the Valar would not come to interfere with what he did in Middle-earth.

To be honest, Vera's actions were also unexpected to Romemos, and she did not expect that Vera would set foot on this land again, but Romemos certainly would not be as arrogant as Milko to think that Vera was She dared not attack Angband openly, but she thought that after most of the Noldor had abandoned absolute devotion to the gods, the Valar would no longer care about the fate of these elves.

But it is clear that the Valars are much more tolerant than Romimos, who treats the heart of a gentleman with a villainous heart. All in all, Valar and Melkor's army soon met on a narrow road, and the army in Aman Continent is really amazing. Melkor did not dare to take it lightly, and dispatched almost all of his forces.

However, in the face of the wrath of the western gods, these things that can only be called small tricks are not enough to look at, and they were swept away in a short time. In desperation, Melkor released his own trump card - led by the black dragon Ankaragang Winged dragons, they can spit out lightning and flames, and everywhere they go is a mess. Vera and the elves are caught off guard, and suffer from being unable to fight back on the ground. Only giant eagles can barely fight with them. But even Sorondor had no choice but to retreat temporarily for a monster like Ankaragang.

"You mean, a dragon that has wings and can fly?" Elendil asked.

"Yes, we've never heard of this kind of thing before, even the humans and elves in Middle-earth seem to be seeing it for the first time." Eonwe said with some headaches, "I have to say, that thing is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. Well, yes, otherwise I would have thought Morgoth was nothing more than that."

Elendil's face sank, and he muttered to himself: "So, she was created for Morgoth..."

"Her?" Eonwe was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that among the most notorious subordinates of Morgoth who used to show others the image of a woman, who else could there be, "Luo Mimo S?"

Elendil was thoughtful, and quickly made up his mind: "Let me deal with Ankara, maybe I know where its weakness is."

Eonwe didn't doubt that Elendil could deal with Ankaragang, but he was still very surprised: "You haven't even seen that black dragon with your own eyes, how can you know its weakness?"

"Actually, I'm not 100% sure..." Elendil explained to Eonwe.

In the year when Gondolin was destroyed, Elendil was not yet eight years old, but the scene of Maeglin and Romimos on the city wall was still deeply imprinted in his mind, so that he After being an adult for a long time, I sometimes have nightmares about Romemus picking him up like a chicken by the neck, and he has difficulty breathing, almost suffocating.

Of course, when he woke up from the nightmare later, he found that it was only Erwin's arm around his neck, or when Elros and Elrond put their legs and feet on his chest when they slept, The situation gradually improved.

But for a time when Elendil was a boy, he couldn't accept it at all.

Forget about Meglin, Elendil can also feel that the other party has always had a bad impression of him, but Lan Wen, although he can't speak, can't tell many interesting stories like old Sargant, but he will always love him. He smiled warmly, and when he was mischievous and was scolded, the big sister who secretly stuffed him with snacks and toys to make him happy, how did she suddenly become a legendary evil spirit?

At that time, Elendil even had a glimmer of hope. Maybe that was actually what happened in his dream?Maybe that person is not sister Lan Wen?Maybe... Sister Lan Wen can change back?

Driven by such a refusal to accept reality and a fluke mentality, Elendil accidentally took the dragon model given to him by Romimos when he escaped from Gondolin, and escorted his guards as if he was a child. It's not uncommon to have a toy as well.

It was not until they were safely out of Angband that Tull and Idril discovered what he had smuggled out.

Tull sternly asked him to throw away the thing immediately, but Elendil would not let go, and finally Idril came out to smooth things over, and miraculously did not force Erendil: "Forget it, Tull, just It's... a memory."

"Use this kind of thing as a souvenir? It's something from the devil." Tull looked at his wife in surprise, but after all, he didn't say anything, only let out a long sigh.

Elendil didn't realize how self-willed and ignorant he was back then until he was a few years older. This was something made by Romimos!Does anyone know if there is any strange magic or even a curse on it? !

However, Elendil has kept it on his cabinet for the past few years, and nothing bad has ever happened to him. Even so, Elendil feels uneasy and thinks it is best not to keep this thing .

However, should it be said that it is something made by Mayer?Elendil exhausted all methods, but failed to find a way to completely destroy the little dragon. He first chopped it with a sword and smashed it with a stone, but he couldn't even make the smallest groove. That thing was harder than the hardest All metals are resistant to blows, and then Elendil threw the thing into the stove angrily. It was hot and red, and then it started spitting fire out of its mouth, almost burning the house down!

You can know what happened later without thinking about it. Without accident, he was scolded by his father again, and this time even his mother stopped talking to him.

Ah, damned Romimos.

Fortunately, Erwin comforted him.

After that time, Elendil didn't dare to toss the toy casually anymore, but he didn't dare to find a place to throw it away—if someone else picked it up, who knows what would happen—he had no choice but to throw the toy away. Things were locked in boxes and put away.

It was many years before the dragon figure was seen again.

One day, Elros and Elrond huddled together at the door of his room for a long time.

Elendil sighed, and said in a kind tone as much as possible: "What did you two accidentally do this time?"

"Ada, I'm sorry, we..." Elrond opened his mouth timidly, and Elros took a sudden step forward, with a look of death on his face.

"Never mind Elrond's business, I did it! Hit me if you want!"

Well, it is true that most of the troubles you two got into together were caused by you, but when did I beat you?

"What's the matter?"

"I..." Elros murmured for a while, until Elrond urged him to confess and be lenient and resist strictness with a sharp eye, then he took out a cardboard box from behind in dejection, which contained many pieces of unknown materials. Block, "Sorry Ada, we dug this out secretly, but accidentally broke it."

"It's okay..." Elendil's eyes were straightened. He racked his brains and didn't break the thing, so his seven or eight-year-old sons dismantled it casually.

It can only be said that a boy of this age is indeed amazingly destructive.

"But how did you make it like this?" he asked. "Don't worry, I don't blame you."

"It was really strong at first, and we wanted to smash walnuts with it," whispered Elros, "but I accidentally dropped something, and then it became so weak that it would break if you touched it. "

"Where did you come across?" Elendil asked in surprise.

Elrond and Elros glanced at each other and pointed at the same time: "There."

"If the wyvern of Morgoth was indeed based on the model of Romimos, perhaps it was the same there. Between the neck and breast of the dragon there was a scale which was not as hard as the others, and if the weapon was sharp enough, it would be It is possible to break through there." Elendil said, "Of course, I can't guarantee that this is absolute, maybe Morgoth improved this fatal weakness later."

"But it is also very possible that he is blindly arrogant, and he didn't expect anyone to find his flaws." Eonway laughed, and then said seriously, "There must be an end between us and Morgoth this time. Unavoidable, this may be an opportunity no matter what, just go, I will let Thorondor and the others support you from the side. Morgoth himself must have never imagined that in the end it would be the one who indirectly ruined him. Those who were deceived and abducted by him at the beginning really did it on their own."

"What is 'deceived and kidnapped'?" Elendil was puzzled, "Didn't Romimos follow Morgoth voluntarily?"

"No, she must have been deceived." Eonwe said stubbornly, "It's impossible for her to turn to Morgoth just like that."

"Why? Were you familiar with her?" Elendil barely suppressed his anger.

He finally accepted the fact that Lan Wen is a demon who kills and set fire without batting an eye. Why does Eonway think that Romimos is innocent?

"I am the herald of Lord Manwe, and Romimos was once a student of Lord Varda, so we have met a few times, but we can't say that we are familiar with each other." Eonwe explained, "I and The time when Romimos communicated most frequently was when Morgoth was imprisoned in Mandos prison for the first time. At that time, she was still the guard there. I have never been there before, and I was really shocked when I first saw it. I couldn’t figure out how she stayed there alone for thousands of years. I knew that she was exiled there entirely on her own fault, but Can't help but pity her. At first I would check on Morgoth every hundred years or so, and sometimes Romimoth would talk to me, but then I got busier and Morgoth seemed to be okay all the time An Fen, I never went again. Then, you know, when I heard about her again, she had defected with Morgoth."

"Perhaps Romimos was indeed wretched," said Elendil, "but the crimes she has committed are not the fault of either you or the Valar."

"I know." Eonway said calmly, "I've talked to her a few times. Her character is indeed a headache, but it's not hopeless. She will eventually find out what is right."

"Is this your intuition?"

"It may be just my wishful thinking, but I believe that Romimos is different from Morgoth. She has seen and believed in the light. I will do my best to bring her back to the right path."

"I hope so." Elendil said following Eonwe's words, but he was actually very contradictory in his heart. On the one hand, he knew how rare it was for Romimos to repent, but on the other hand, Luomimus The harm Moss did to the elves of Gondolin made him hard to let go. Even if she really repented, should she be forgiven? "If you can bring her back, it happens that I also have a debt to settle with her."

Everyone knows the final outcome. After a day and night of fierce fighting, Elendil finally succeeded in beheading Ankaragang, while the other flying dragons were led by Thorondor to wipe out one by one. In the end, there were only a few surviving ones who escaped.

Compared with the panic of Melkor and Sauron and others, Romimos was much calmer.

Let's fight, let's fight, anyway, she doesn't stand on either side, it's good that Angband is disbanded, and no one can restrain her in the future; the Valar are mainly for Melkor this time, and a horrible person like her For the dispensable little Maia, no one would come to arrest her specially.

However, Romemos guessed wrong this time.

Valar rushed into Angband and dragged Melkor out of his lair. Tulkas bound him again with chains, and then took him away. No one really remembered that there was such a thing as Romimos. Person number one, let alone Romimos, Sauron might not be considered by Vera.

But after all the Valar had disappeared without a moment's reluctance, some still lingered outside the caves of Angband, lingering and lingering.

Romemos didn't know, so she peeked out to see—oh, it's Eonwe, Melkor has been captured, what are you still doing here?It's not that you can't stay here, but how do you let me get out when you stop at the door?

Romemos turned around inexplicably and wanted to discuss with Sauron. What do you call this?But when she turned around, she knew it was over.

Sauron's face was ashen, his expression was mixed with bewilderment and fear, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Poor thing, Romemus clicked his tongue twice in his heart.The simple defeat of Melkor must have dealt a great blow to Sauron. After all, unlike Romimos, Sauron wholeheartedly believed in Melkor as his master and firmly believed that his master would one day rule the world.

Romemos was still wondering what Eonwe was trying to do, but Eonwe had already stood still, looking up at Angband, which was completely destroyed after the war, with piercing eyes,

"I am Eonwë, Herald of Manwë!" His voice pierced through the endless darkness to the hiding place of Romimos and Sauron, "Listen, those within, now that Morgoth has fallen, you wait There is no room for you anymore, if you repent in time now and come out to accept the surrender, I will truthfully state your case in front of all the Valar to reduce your crimes, but if you resolutely resist, don’t blame me for being rude!”

There was silence, no one answered.

"Romimos, and Sauron, I know you two are inside!" Aonwe shouted sharply, "If you don't come out again, I will go in and arrest you!"

"..."

Romimus is an infinite sun dog in his heart.
