[I know from water]

[I know from the soil]

[I know from the wind]

[The traces left by ancient times are all lost. 】

[Because there is no living, I can still remember. 】

——

[Second Age, 1590]

"This story originated from the casting of the Ring of Strength."

"Three of them were given to the elves-the immortal, the most beautiful and wise among all beings."

"Seven were given to the dwarf—the outstanding miner, the craftsman who chiseled the stone hall."

"Another nine Lords of the Rings have been given to the human race-those who are most hungry for power."

"These Lords of the Rings are infused with the power and will to govern each race."

"But they were all deceived,"

"Because there is still another lord ring to be cast."

[Second Age, 1600]

"In the land of Mordor, in the flames of MountDoom,"

"Sauron, the Dark Lord, secretly casts a Master Ring to control the other rings."

"In this ring, his cruelty, spitefulness, and the spitefulness of enslaving all other creatures are poured all out."

"The Supreme Ring, OneRingtorulethemall (OneRingtorulethemall)."

"One after another, the free land of Middle Earth was successively conquered by the power of the Lord of the Rings,"

"However, there are still races who have risen in resistance."

[Second Age, 3434]

"Humans and elves formed the final alliance and launched an attack on the Mordor army."

"At the foot of the Doomsday Volcano, they fought desperately for the freedom of Middle-earth."

"The two kings of mankind and elves, Elendil and Ereinion Gil-galad, took the lead and made Mordor's troops into an army."

"[Elves] Tangadohoid (hold your position)!"

[The handsome elf wears gorgeous golden armor, and turns the moonblade that is graceful like moonlight to slash the raiding Orc (Orc) in front of the formation. 】

"[Elves] Leitheiophilinn (arrow shooting)!"

[The elves in the verdant cloak appeared from the forest, and the arrows made of glass and crystal came like rain, crucifying to the ground the orcs who tried to drive the catapult and lift the crossbow arrows from a distance. 】

"It seems that victory is in sight, but the power of the Supreme Ring is unstoppable."

"The Dark Lord appeared on the battlefield and killed the two kings himself."

"And just when all hope was shattered, Isilsur, son of the king, picked up his father's sword, Narsil."

"Cut off Sauron's fingers wearing the Supreme Lord of the Rings."

"Sauron, the enemy of the free people of China, was defeated."

[Third Age, 2 years]

"The Supreme Ring fell into the hands of Isildur,"

"He had the opportunity to end evil once and for all, but the human heart is easily corroded."

"The ring of strength also has its own will."

"It rebelled against Isildu and killed him."

"Together with the things that shouldn't have been forgotten, I was also lost."

"History becomes legend, legend becomes myth."

"For 3000 years, no one knows the whereabouts and history of the Lord of the Rings."

—Third Age, 2951, March 1 —

Rivendell, Hall of the Elf Lord.

"This story is really wonderful," Estel said. "It's as exquisite as the illusion you created, and it makes you feel like you are on the scene."

He is a human youth with black hair, a pair of sharp gray eyes, piercing eyes, a heroic appearance, a strong voice, wearing a tan corset that elves often wear, and his expression is a little calm like an elves.

In front of Estel was the high elf, the lord of the valley, the holder of the wind ring, and his adoptive father, Elrond.

The elf lord has long black hair and green eyes, and his appearance is serious and serious. Although he is watching him, Estelle always feels that he is looking at others through himself.

"It's just a little trick." Elrond waved away the illusion that Isildur was ambushed to death by the orcs, and said slowly.

It may be strange for an elf to adopt a human child, especially when the human mother is still alive.

But the elves of the valley will not question their lord's decision, and have consistently treated Estel as the son of the lord during the eighteen years since he came to the valley.

Had it not been for the relationship between Celebrian and his mother Gilraen, Estelle might have been tempted to wonder in strange directions.

"You specially explained the history of 3,000 years ago on my twentieth birthday. Perhaps you are going to tell me that you kept silent before, about my life experience?" Estelle continued to ask.

"I think you should know that the Elvish word for'Esterel' means'hope'," Elrond said: "and hope, in this age, is something as precious as a diamond."

"...Diamond," Estelle grinned. "Doesn't that mean'worthless'?"

Elrond looked at him without saying a word.

"I understand," Estelle said: "Although diamonds have no meaning to elves, they are of great value to humans. This means that my identity is not a big deal on the side of elves, but it is very important to humans. "

"Indeed." Elrond clapped his hands.

Estelle's adoptive mother, the wife of the Lord of the Valley, the high elf Hortensia walked out of the inner court of the Lord's longhouse carrying a tray.

"Mother." Estelle bowed to salute, stunned when he tried to take the tray.

On the tray was a sword that was broken from the center, and its appearance seemed to be exactly the same as the holy sword that was trampled by Sauron in the illusion that Elrond had created before.

And beside the broken sword, there is also a simple and noble silver ring, which is inlaid with an emerald green gemstone, and the whole is like two snakes intertwined.

"This is the Ring of Barahir, the heirloom of the Emile and Isildu family," Celebrity said in the soft tone of his usual teaching Estelle: "It's time Return them to their original owners."

"Could it be..." Estelle looked at the two things and was silent.

"Yes, just as you guessed," Elrond's voice came from behind: "You are the 39th generation of the stupid, stubborn, and greedy Isildur, Númenor (Númenor). ) The last descendant of the royal family, the sixteenth chief of Dúnedain, the son of Arazon II, whose real name is Aragorn."

"..." Estelle, or Aragon, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What should I do?"

"In Middle-earth, humans don’t recognize someone as king because of their blood. They only crave power, and your country has lost its king for twenty years," Elrond said: "To inherit the throne, you have to travel. Fight against your enemies, help your friends, protect your people, keep your name in the hearts of your people, through the achievements you have achieved with Elladan and Elrohir , I think you are ready, don't you?"

"Of course," Aragorn (Arthur)'s mouth turned up: "I will leave tomorrow."
