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

Thranduil didn't know his wife's recent experience. He was troubled by more and more orcs and poisonous snakes in the forest. What's worse, he didn't even understand how his enemies emerged. Yes, apart from knowing that these evil creatures came from the north, Thranduil really has no clue about the rest.

He thought about sending someone to Lonely Mountain to investigate the situation again, but the previous lesson was enough for him to think about this method more. In order not to suffer another severe blow to the entire army in a short period of time, Thranduil had no choice but to give up this idea .And in order to strengthen the defense, almost all elf warriors were sent to patrol the border and guard the kingdom, and there were really no extra people to go out to inquire about the news.

Just when His Majesty the King was upset about this, the timely arrival of the gray robe wizard Gandalf is undoubtedly great news.Thranduil decided to meet the venerable old wizard himself.

"Ah, Mithranda, my dear friend, it is a pleasure to meet you, and you know that you are always welcome in my kingdom."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and it is a great honor to hear you say that," said Gandalf, smiling.

"So, have you found the answer to the last question?"

"Yes, my lord, that is exactly the purpose of my visit."

"Very well, then let's go back to the palace and talk about it in detail."

Thranduil hurried back to the Elven King's hall with Gandalf, and ordered Oster to be summoned, and the discussion began only after everyone had gathered.

"Okay, now we can start, Mithranda, please tell us the truth about what you know." Thranduil said.

"With pleasure, Your Majesty." Gandalf nodded. "According to the information I have so far, the northern serpent Yorman Gund has awakened and is approaching here."

Thranduil and Ulster were not surprised by this matter, they were concerned about other things.

"But why did the big snake come to Mirkwood? It has nothing to do with it here. I really don't know what can attract it in the forest." Oster asked puzzled.

"No, Lord Oster, the Mirkwood is not its destination. Yorman Gund's goal is the Lonely Mountain, and the Mirkwood is only a necessary place on its journey."

"What did that big snake go to the Lonely Mountain? Does it like treasure like other dragons?"

"In fact, it is indeed aimed at the treasure, but it is not an ordinary treasure, but a magic stone made by the demon king Sauron."

"Sorcerer's Stone?" Oster was surprised, and he said, "It is said that Yorman Gund itself has powerful magic power, just like other evil dragons, their desire for magic power is far less than treasure."

Gandalf explained: "As far as I know, Yorman Gund was created by Morgoth. It should have been born as the mount of the Devil King, but due to its defects in ability, Morgoth finally abandoned it. , and exiled it to the wilderness in the north, I think maybe it is because of this that the big snake always tries to make up for its shortcomings."

"Oh? Then what are its shortcomings?" Thranduil asked curiously.

"Yormangund is different from other evil dragons. It cannot fly. It is because of this that the devil doesn't like it. Morgoth is very proud. He will not allow his pets to have any Sadly flawed."

"So Sauron's Philosopher's Stone can make it fly?"

"Yes." Gandalf replied with a frown, "The Sorcerer's Stone made by Sauron contains his mana, as long as he holds it, he can go to heaven and earth, so if the northern python really got this Sorcerer's Stone, , that will pose a great threat to us, who knows what this monster that can go up to the sky and enter the earth, can spray poison and set fire will do, maybe it will go to its master and try its best to get Morgoth from Released from the void that imprisoned his soul, God, if that is the case, then the whole world of Middle-earth may be shrouded in darkness again. Anyway, that python is from the world of Middle-earth The enemy of peace and tranquility, we must find a way to eliminate it."

As soon as Gandalf finished speaking, the three people in the hall all fell silent. Each of them clearly realized how difficult the situation was now, especially Thranduil, who found himself in trouble Unexpectedly, the responsibility on the wood elves is even heavier now.

Thranduil explained to Gandalf: "In fact, we are already strengthening our guard. Every gate and every creek here is guarded. The elves are ready to fight at any time. Any enemy who dares to invade the elf territory will was wiped out."

But Oster has different concerns.

"But this alone may not be enough to defeat our enemy. Don't forget, the opponent is a northern python with powerful magic power. Its huge body can easily break our bows and arrows. Its venom and flames make our soldiers Injury ... if we don't have a way to deal with it, there is no way to beat it."

Gandalf thought for a while and said, "Maybe I can help you. I know some magic circles that can help you restrict the big snake's movements, restrain its power, and make it move slowly. The elves are agile, light and vigorous." , you can be much faster than it, it is said that Yorman Gund's weakness is its heart, as long as you can find a way to quickly smash the sword to its heart, then the victory belongs to you."

"I hope we can do it." Oster said a little uneasy.

Thranduil stood up and patted his friend on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, my friend, at least Mithranda has provided us with a way to solve the problem, as long as we follow the plan, I believe that after the stars Il Bilusi will definitely bless us, and we will be able to successfully stop the big snake from the north."

Gandalf also said: "Yes, dear Urster, you should have more confidence in yourself, which can help to enhance the courage in your heart, which is very important in war."

When Oster heard this, he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and continue to join the discussion.In the end, Gandalf decided to stay and help the elves set up the magic circle, maybe he will join the battle in the end, but anyway, this is a good thing for the elves, Thranduil warmly invited the old wizard He came to live in his palace for a few days, and he expressed his willingness to provide a comfortable and warm small room for the guests who had been tired from the journey. Oster was ordered to arrange it. In this way, Gandalf lived in the wood elf's palace.
