The Fellowship of the Lord of the Rings - A Tale of the Elven King

Minas Tirith is a castle built in a unique way. It is a cascade city built on the mountain, backed by the white mountains. The city is divided into seven floors, and each floor has an independent city wall and entrance. The road in the fortress is winding and winding, and behind the main entrance square stands a huge rock, extending all the way to the highest level of the circular city. Another fortress was built on the top of the huge rock, so that the defenders in the top fortress can Overlooking the main gate below and the entrances of various fortresses in the city at any time, this ensures that the defense of Minas Tirith is unbreakable.

Only through a slope leading to the final entrance can the government hall be reached, and the holy spring garden in front of the pure white tower, where the famous holy white tree is planted. It has long, graceful leaves and on its crown there is Many white flowers reflect light like snow in the sun.The holy white tree symbolizes the glory of Numenor in ancient times, and also represents the continuation of the royal family of Gondor. The Gondors believe that as long as this tree exists, the kingdom of Numenor will prosper, and if the white tree dies, the country will also decline. .This fair tree has not bloomed since the infighting of Gondor cut off the royal blood.

The pony Gandalf borrowed from Radagast drove him to Minas Tirith in the evening. Many Gondors knew this wise and brave old wizard, and knew that he was from the world of Middle-earth. Friends of all good races, so that the garrison of Gondor did not hinder him, Gandalf was at once taken to the Regent's Regent's Chamber and granted admission to the Great Library.

Surrounded by walls that are tens of meters high and filled with books, it is not easy to find relevant information. Gandalf rummaged through the pile of books for a long time before finally finding an ancient book.

This is a book describing the life of Morgoth Boglier. It records in detail how the firstborn son of Iluvatar, the father of all beings, and the brother of Manwe, the king of the Valar, fell from the mighty Ainur to the The Dark Lord even recorded many unknown secrets.

This book contains the following records:

"...Before the creation of Arda, Melkor was the mightiest of the Ainu. At first he could change his form at will, as other Ainu had this power, but the first form he took Yes——like a high mountain pulled out of the deep sea, the peak soars to the sky, not only covered with ice and snow, but also surrounded by thick smoke and fire; the light of his eyes is like a fierce flame, which can burn everything under high temperature, and can also penetrate through extreme cold Everything, any person or creature he looks at will be marked with his mark, and his power is extremely powerful, far superior to other Ainu..."

Gandalf believed that he had found the key clue, and then in the second half of the book he found some paintings related to Morgoth, one of which was covered with strange patterns, and Gandalf dug out the cloth he got from the elves. After careful comparison, the old wizard believes that he has got the answer, and he believes that this is the so-called mark of Morgoth.

These patterns symbolize the spread of Morgoth's evil fire throughout the middle-earth continent, and also represent thick smoke and flames of war. That is exactly Morgoth's wish, and he created this figure according to his own ideas.

According to the book, after Morgoth created Glauron, the ancestor of the evil dragon, he wanted to create another mount exclusively for himself. As Morgoth's power dispersed into the Middle-earth continent, it polluted the Middle-earth. The structure of the continent has shrunk and restricted his will, and he no longer has the original powerful power. The most obvious manifestation is that he no longer has the ability to change his shape at will, so he needs the help of external forces. Morgoth hopes You can create a giant dragon that can go to the sky and go to the ground as your mount. The flames it spews should be able to make the earth burn, and the venom it secretes can corrode all the places it passes. The flame pattern on its body represents It belongs to the extremely powerful Dark Lord.

But Morgoth's wish was not fulfilled, his experiment was not successful, he could not concentrate all the powers he hoped for in one creature, he did not have that much power.

After his initial failure, the Dark Lord was furious at his own failure. He always believed that he was the rightful sovereign of all creation, and proudly believed that his skill could make anything. He did not want to believe that he had lost everything. A power comparable to Iluvatar, the father of the gods.

In a fit of anger, Morgoth discarded his failed work into the underground cave in the north, and then he created other dragons, including the black dragon Ankaragang, the cold dragon Skasa, and so on.But none of these met his expectations.

After Morgoth was defeated by the gods of the Valar and driven from the gate of night into the endless void, the evil experiment of the demon king finally ended in failure.

These records, together with other descriptions of Yorman Gund the Great Northern Serpent, gave Gandalf reason to believe that he had found the answer to what the "pet of Morgoth" referred to in the ballad from the North said. It was Yorman Gund, the northern python.

Gandalf had heard rumors about this serpent, and he didn't know what had awakened the serpent, which had been sleeping for so long, but one thing was certain, that is, the destructive power of this serpent must be incomparable. Will be worse than other evil dragons, and the flames of war in the northern land are about to ignite.

The old wizard put the pipe in his mouth and took a deep breath. His thoughts were a little confused. As one of the five Maias sent to Middle-earth by the Valar gods, Gandalf has been fulfilling his mission dutifully. Unfortunately, peace and tranquility don't always last, and sometimes even the kindest and upright old wizard feels frustrated and discouraged.

But Gandalf knew he didn't have much time left to be depressed here, the serpent had woken up, it was only a matter of time before the war began, luckily at least he still had time to prepare.

Now that one problem has been clarified, another thing needs to be clarified, which is the "Treasure of the Demon Lord Sauron" mentioned in the ballad.

Regarding this question, Gandalf thought it was time for him to visit the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, and they would definitely be able to give a satisfactory answer, but as far as the old wizard was concerned, he was really fed up with the dwarves messing around Something is wrong with the digging, although they are the most ingenious craftsmen, they have always been capable of digging up horrible demons, let's hope these little guys didn't dig up anything too bad this time.
