[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

This time, the other party finally raised his head.Even Kelly couldn't help but gasped in her heart: Not only was his body covered in cuts and bruises, but his face was also covered with deep scars. He couldn't distinguish his original face, only a pair of scars could be recognized from the blood stains. Eyes that were still clear, but very darkened. "Who?" the elf asked in a hoarse voice.

"You can call me Kelly. Do you know how to get out?"

The other party looked at her suspiciously and nodded slowly.Kelly continued: "Are there any spells around you? Or have you ever had a tracking or detection spell placed on yourself?"

The other party shook his head slightly, then lowered his head as if he had no strength: "No need."

Kelly nodded: "Are you still awake? I have one last question. If I release you now, will Sauron notice it immediately?"

"No." The elf paused for a long time with difficulty, "but you can't escape here."

Kelly shrugged slightly and didn't argue with him.She took a step back and pointed in front of her: "Break into pieces!"

She could feel that the fence itself was also made of extraordinarily strong metal with a trace of magic power, but this trace of magic power was not enough to resist her, and the fences where her fingers passed shattered into tiny pieces and fell to the ground.Kelly got through the gap, walked up to the elf, put her hand on his heart, and sent the magic power of healing.While casting healing magic, she looked at the heavy chains tied to the elf's body. These chains were cast from stronger metals, and some of them even penetrated into his body and connected to bones, but none of them could not be undone.

An elf that needs to be imprisoned with such strict measures, Kelly already has a candidate in mind.Seeing that the other party took a breath for a while, she paused the healing magic, pointed her finger at the chain that passed through his shoulder, and said, "So, you haven't told me your name yet. Are you Celebrimbor? ?”

Celebrimbor, son of Curufin, only grandson of House Feanor, lord of Eridan.But more famous than these identities is that he is the caster of the three rings of the elves—he was also deceived by Sauron, and participated in the casting of the seven rings for dwarf kings and the nine rings for human kings.After the Supreme Lord of the Rings was cast, Sauron relied on these rings to bewitch all human kings in one fell swoop and turn them into powerful ring spirits under him.Fortunately, Celebrimbor woke up in time and realized Sauron's true face, so he sent out the three rings of the elves that were not contaminated to fight against Sauron.Sauron, who failed to control the elves, was furious, and captured Celebrimbor alive, tortured him, and tried to ask the whereabouts of the three rings of elves, but Celebrimbor never said a word.Two years later, Sauron, who had nothing to gain, killed him in a rage, and even picked his body on the flagpole as a battle flag to show insult.

As she spoke, the chain was cut off. Kelly grabbed one end and tried it. After a long time, the part embedded in the body has been glued to the flesh and blood inside. She had to stop temporarily and decided to take him off the wall first. Take it up and down and deal with the details.Celebrimbor nodded slightly in acquiescence to her question, and turned to look at her with a little surprise: "Aren't you Sauron's subordinate?"

Kelly smiled slightly.Her magic has taken on a dark nature, and the flowing magic power is no longer the original pure light blue, but has become a deep purple. It is no wonder that Celebrimbor is surprised: if she is the dark side, There was no reason at all to risk saving him.If she is not the dark side, where does this kind of magic with dark power come from? "I'm not Sauron's subordinate. I'm... a human magician. Maybe the first human you've ever seen who can do magic?"

"I've seen humans who can handle a little magic," Celebrimbor replied in a low voice, "but your ability is far beyond theirs."

"Ah, the reason for this is very complicated - I think it's better to go out first, and I'll tell you in detail." Kelly said as she cut off the chain on his other shoulder and wrist.She stood in front of the other person, supported his upper body that had fallen forward with her shoulders, and began to release the chains around his waist, "How often will someone check here? How long will we have?"

Celebrimbor seemed to give a soft smile: "I have no concept of time for a long time. But recently, Sauron has lost his patience. He often doesn't come down for a long time... Maybe it's just a long time in my consciousness. The building path in my impression may have been remodeled, if you want to escape, I can tell you how to get there first."

Kelly thought about it, but she didn't refuse.She naturally wanted to take Celebrimbor with her, but since she doesn't know how much time is left and when the other party will recover, if she has to escape by herself, it is very likely that she will say, "Okay, Then you speak first."

As she spoke, she quickly cut off all the remaining chains, put the elf down and sat against the wall, and began to remove those chains that penetrated into the flesh and blood.Celebrimbor coughed from time to time, and described to her intermittently: "This location should be the west basement of the Hall of Jewels. You should go down through a spiral staircase. The middle of the stairs leads to the main hall of the Hall of Jewels. Above is the forging room, and the top floor leads to the terrace..."

By the time he struggled to describe the layout of the building on the west side, Kelly had already consumed all the chains in his body with magic.She pressed Celebrimbor's shoulder with one hand, activated the healing magic again, and sketched in the air with the other hand, simply sketching out a plan: "Is this the layout?"

Celebrimbor glanced twice: "According to this scale, the location of the hall is wrong... move about 20 meters to the left."

He is basically only half breathed now, without Kelly's healing magic, he doesn't know if he can finish this sentence-but he still cares about the scale!What kind of spirit of a science and engineering house is this!For a moment, Kelly was moved by the mystery of meeting the same kind.She adjusted accordingly.Celebrimbor nodded: "That's about it... If you can keep quiet, you may be able to escape from the terrace to the living room on the opposite side, and then go around the stairs to the back of the hall..."

"Wait a minute," Kelly said, "If I could fly, would it be okay to just jump off the balcony and escape?"

"If you can outrun Sauron's Fallen Beast," said Celebrimbor.

Kelly thought for a while: "You can try. If you can't reach them, I can try to kill them. The road you pointed out earlier is too far away. With your current strength, I can't walk there even if I drag you Yes."

Celebrimbor looked up at her, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You will have a much better chance of running away by yourself."

"However, you also showed me the way—it would be too heartless to leave you like this." Kelly shrugged, "However, if time is tight and you haven't recovered, I may have to escape by myself in the end." of."

"In any case, I thank you," said Celebrimbor, eyes closed, "but if you are going to run away yourself, I beg you to kill me before you do so."

Kelly looked at his unhealed, overlapping wounds and scars sympathetically, "Okay, I promise you." She said bluntly - in the world view of the Lord of the Rings, human beings die when they die, But the elves will not really die, their souls will return to the Temple of Mandos, and may be resurrected by being given a new body in the future.That was a much better ending for Celebrimbor than being stuck here tormented.

The dark dungeon really kills people's concept of time, but fortunately no other monsters came down to check it out, and Sauron never came.I don't know how long it took, but finally, Celebrimbor was able to stand up with her support and walk by herself.Kelly took off the cloak and extended it to cover the blood-stained rags all over his body.With the cloak removed, a tight-fitting one-piece combat suit made of Kevlar fiber was exposed underneath her. Celebrimbor glanced at it with surprise, but didn't ask any questions.Kelly picked him up and re-weaved a double invisibility spell to cover the two of them: "Don't let go." She reminded in a low voice, "I can't see you now either."

Taking Celebrimbor with them, they made it through the narrow stairs guarded by the goblins with great reluctance.The two walked side by side, bumping into the orc guards on the road from time to time. Kelly cast a dozen charms and oblivion spells along the way, and finally passed the long stairs safely.She carried Celebrimbor to the top of the terrace almost with the strength of a super-soldier.

The sky above was still pitch black, and it was unknown whether it was really night or caused by Sauron's magic.She walked to the edge of the terrace, tugged Celebrimbor's arm as a signal, and felt that the other party was grabbing her, she jumped down and glides smoothly.

When they fell to the ground, the two were already hundreds of meters away from the hall behind them.Erizan was built at the confluence of the Siwanan and Glenduin rivers, and the city was full of goblin garrisons.Kelly landed on the bank of the river, using the sound of water to cover up their voices: "Where do you get out of the city? Which direction are you going?"

"Up against the current, out of the western moat," whispered Celebrimbor, "and north."

Kelly continued to fly up with him on her back as she said, and quietly flew out of the city from the west wall along the river.Irejan is surrounded by plains, which is not a suitable terrain for escaping at all. Kelly flew for a long time, and finally saw a small hill, and stopped immediately after that, putting down Celebrimbor temporarily: "Are you still alive?" ?” she asked in a low voice.

The two are still invisible and can't see each other, but during the flight, Kelly has gradually felt her back soaked by the other's blood.The vitality of the elves is much more tenacious than that of humans - the injuries on Celebrimbor's body would be enough to die three or five times if replaced by humans, even Steve might not be able to survive.But at the same time, his injuries were too serious. With magic, Kelly could barely heal the most serious injuries inside his body in a short period of time, and it was impossible to completely heal them.These unhealed traumas continued to consume his physical strength—it was not suitable for a long-distance escape in any way.

Taking advantage of the cover of the hills, she removed the invisibility spell, continued to heal Celebrimbor a little bit, and asked, "Where are we going next?"
