"Lord Anila!" After the war, Eowyn ran to Anila from the innermost cave in Helm's Deep, stroking her neck and shoulders as if to make sure she was still alive, her eyes unrecognizable. Is the redness due to sleepiness or agitation.

"Eowyn." Anila smiled, took a step back before Eowyn's hand touched her cheek, and distanced herself from her, "Go and see your king, he led us to fight You have to congratulate him for such a big victory."

"You also have a lot of credit for this." Eowyn said, "I have been praying for your safe and triumphant return all night."

"Thank you, thanks to your princess, I didn't suffer any serious injuries." Anila said gently and calmly, "But I have to go to my friend's side. Goodbye, Eowyn."

Eowyn subconsciously wanted to keep Anila, but found that she had no reason to keep her by her side. In a flash, Anila nodded politely, turned and left.

Eowyn stared blankly at Anila's back.

The war had just ended, Anila hadn't put down her weapon, she hadn't taken off her armor, and the sweat and blood on her face and hands hadn't been wiped off, but Anila looked full of energy and never tired, She can also chat and joke with her friends, and smile at every soldier who calls her name.

Ah, what a scene that fascinates her. She will not be restricted because of her identity as a woman, but she can laugh freely and wantonly, sit on an equal footing with men, and even gain their respect through strength instead of status.

Legolas and Gimli waited for Anila to walk over there.

"I'm afraid that girl is interested in you." Jinli said to Anila, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"It's just admiration and longing." Anila said lightly, "She took me as the sustenance of her dreams and mistakenly thought that it was love for me, but in fact she just loved her ideal appearance. If she I really have feelings for her, and it's even more regrettable because I can't return her a penny."

Jinli shrugged: "I'll just say that, everyone knows that you girl, Anila, has eyes as high as the sky. In this life, you have made up your mind to bring back an elf." Whether it was Legolas or Lord Rivendell, That flowery daughter is just an elf anyway, although he doesn't think elves other than Lady Galadriel are so pretty...

"Then I have to thank people for seeing me." Anila smiled, and met Legolas' eyes very naturally.

"Oh, that's enough, Boromir, let's go aside and don't disturb these two perverted bastards." Gimli smoked his pipe, pretending to be annoyed and dragging Boromir to leave.

"Well, you guys, although the battle in Helm's Deep is over, the war in Middle-earth has just begun!" Gandalf shouted at them from the side, "Hurry up! I'm discussing with King Theoden You should go to Essinger together!"

They rested for less than a day, and set off overnight before the sun went west, and finally arrived at Essinger at noon the next day.

Anila didn't know what Isinger was like before, but she knew that in a natural and simple land like Middle Earth, there might be no place like Isinger today except Mordor.

The ground here is riddled with holes, and the surroundings are only cold steel and rocks, and no green can be seen.Huge furnaces can be seen everywhere. They must have been burning day and night, billowing thick smoke, and dyed Isinger's sky into a gloomy gray, but now they are cold and dead, soaked in a puddle of water.

The author of this story probably didn't like the Industrial Revolution very much, Anila thought.

However, in such a desolate and dilapidated scene, the group of people who arrived found two small figures sitting on the stone, eating and drinking, laughing loudly, out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"Hey, you!" Pippin screamed excitedly, waving at them.

"Welcome to Isengard, my lords!" Meri stood up and made a gesture of welcome in an exaggerated gesture.

"You two bastards!" Jin Li blew his beard and stared, "We have run for more than 600 miles to save you, and have gone through all kinds of battles and deaths, and you are so leisurely here, and you are still-smoking! Smoking! Your Where did the tobacco come from? God, I really don't know whether I should be angry or happy now, if I can, I really want to vent it!"

"You really speak my mind, Gimli," said Legolas, "but what I want to ask is, where does their wine come from?"

"We have just won a great battle," said Pippin triumphantly. "Of course the spoils must be enjoyed."

"Ah, why have I won so many battles but never got such a good wine?" Anila pretended to complain.

Pippin froze for a moment. "You like wine too, Anila?"

"She's a little drunk." Legolas looked at Anila with a smile. "When we were guests in Mirkwood, Anila was the only one who dared to drink with the king of Mirkwood."

"What was the result?" Jinli asked curiously.

"Of course I failed miserably. Remember, never compete with an elf in Mirkwood." Anila shrugged, "But what does it matter? It's worth taking this opportunity to drink enough wine."

"If you want, Anila, I can give you all the wine here." Pippin blinked, and suddenly said rashly.

The scene was eerily quiet for a second.

"Thanks, Pippin." Anila said with a smile, "But I'm afraid that all these wines can't be counted as yours, right? Could it be that only you and Merry overthrew Isinger? Then I really don't know what to do." How amazed at your courage and wisdom."

"Oh, of course not." Pippin blushed, "It was the Ents who captured this place, and now Isinger is taken over by the Treebeard."

"The Ents haven't been involved with Middle-earth for a long time." Anila said softly, "I think it must be your credit for their willingness to come to help this time? Well done, Pippin, and Merry."

[Pipin favorability +7, Meili favorability +5]

After expressing their joy at the reunion and understanding the specific situation, Pippin and Merry sat behind Gandalf and Legolas respectively, and rode towards the center of Isengard.

Pippin's heartbeat was still fast, and at the same time his skin was a little hot, alas, he was humiliated in front of Anila just now, although this was not the first time, but it was the one that made him most ashamed.

He is a self-important fool, he only got a little bit of victory, he got carried away, and even showed off in front of those who actually put in far more blood and sweat than himself, and Anila unceremoniously poured cold water on him in the end .

But Anila is extremely soft and patient, you won't hear even a trace of irritation or sarcasm in her tone, she just reminded him kindly, and then affirmed his achievements.

Alas, Peregrin Took, who but the Strider would do that to you?Either they indulged themselves to mischief like Merry, because in their eyes they were just a ignorant and underage little hobbit; or they chased and beat themselves like Farmer Maggot, simple and rough.

Anila is not like any of them.Anila would come to help when he stole Gandalf's fireworks and was fined to wash the dishes, and Anila would seriously promise him to take him out of the Shire to see the world-and she did Arrived, although it was in a way that no one expected, but so what?Anila would stand in front of him without hesitation when he was in danger, Anila would recommend herself to the Fellowship of the Ring when even Lord Elrond disagreed, Anila would stand in front of him when they were half When the orcs captured them, they ran over 600 miles to rescue them.

Pippin began to be vaguely aware of his subtle feelings for Anila, which was rare for him, but he despaired almost as soon as he realized it.

He is just a hobbit, short and clumsy, and has no fighting power, while Anila is a stalker who makes the wicked fearful, and is the future emperor of Gondor. There is absolutely no relationship between them beyond friendship. , even the fact that he could be Anila's friend was enough for him to be grateful.

"A hobbit always hides a lot of character that can surprise people." But Anila's words kept echoing in his ears, her lake-like green eyes reflected the light of fireworks, hazy and clear, " Sometimes seemingly insignificant little people can often play a key role."

Anila had said that to Bilbo at his birthday party, and now it seemed a lifetime ago.

At the very center of Essinger is a tall and majestic black iron tower. From a distance, it looks like a knife stabbing into the sky. It is sharp and smooth. It is Saruman's fortress Oshank Tower, but Anila She didn't like its shape, she always felt that the tower was very similar to the Barad-tower of Mordor.

On the top of this cold black tower, there is an old man in white robe standing at the top. There is no doubt that he is Saruman, the wizard in white robe who has done unforgivable things to the people of Rohan. When looking at him, I felt that his expression was unfortunate and tired, just like a kind and good person after suffering bad luck.

Saruman fought with Theoden and Gandalf respectively. He tried to trick Theoden into reconciliation with him with his deceptive voice. Gandalf the wizard broke the staff.

The whole process has nothing to do with Anila, except that Saruman satirized her saying that she could never become the emperor, but that was just incidental. Saruman's ultimate goal was to slander Gandalf, saying that Anila was just A victim of Gandalf's plan.

Anila didn't bother to talk to him, being the emperor had always been her goal in the game, and she didn't care about Gandalf's dime.

Saruman seemed to lose his mind in anger. He had been pushed to the end of the road but he still refused to take advantage of his mouth. However, he had no choice but to take the people under the tower with Grima Whispering Words beside him. Out of anger, Qiaoyan was stabbed twice in the back by the distraught Qiaoyan and fell off the tower, and Qiaoyan was also shot in the chest by an arrow in Legolas' desperation and died.

The period of Saruman's rule over Isengard came to an end.

Anila is still very sad about the deaths of Saruman and Qiaoyan, because these two people are different from the NPCs who died in front of her before, they are not like Sorin and Haldir, they represent pure Good—Even though Thorin was once insane, he was unquestionably good, unlike Borg and Azog, who symbolized absolute evil.Both men are rather conflicted.

Saruman, he is the only Maier who voluntarily went to Middle-earth. As the head wizard, he is knowledgeable and wise, with powerful mana, but he is also conservative and rigid, arrogant and conceited. Finally, in the crystal ball of truth that Sauron deliberately sent to him He began to fall under the corruption of Gandalf, and his jealousy for Gandalf was the last straw that crushed him.

As for Grima Whisper, he used to be a general of Rohan, but in the end he was lured by Saruman to become his minion, helping him control Theoden, but when Theoden forgave him, he It is true that there will be an expression of gratitude and a trace of remorse.

Are these two people good?What they did to Rohan is still vivid. The strong beasts burned, killed and looted all the way, not even letting a child or a plant go.

Are these two people evil?Most, perhaps, would nod without hesitation, and say that such a man should die, but it never occurred to Gandalf and Theoden to hang them.

Gandalf said: Come down, Saruman, and we will spare your life.

Theoden said: Come down, Grima, you need not follow him any longer.

They chose to forgive.

Anila was a little surprised by their decision at first, but after thinking about it, there was nothing surprising about it.

Not to mention that one of these two people may know the secrets of Mordor, and the other has made great military exploits for Rohan. Even if these two points are completely ignored, Gandalf and Theoden should forgive them.

And what if it is up to you to decide the life and death of these two people?Anila thought, and finally concluded, that she would forgive them too, just as she had forgiven Stryker.

But it's amazing, when she realized this now, Anila didn't laugh at herself after forgiving Stryker like she did before, on the contrary, she felt a lot lighter in her heart, like a stone It was as if he had finally landed, and even his breathing became much easier.

She once doubted whether she was right to forgive someone who had hurt her so easily. In the eyes of many people, it was a fool's thing to do, but now someone finally agrees with her point of view.

"True courage lies not in killing, but in forgiving." Gandalf once said.
