Journey of the Infinite Wizard

After Beren left, Melian finally spoke, and she said to Thingol, "O King Thingol, you think you have conceived a clever plan, but you will be deceived by this trick in the end. If my eyes were not dim, it would be bad for you. For you have doomed yourself and your daughter. Now Doriath will be entangled with the fate of a greater realm."

But Thingol said: "I love my daughter more than all treasures, and I will sell her to no one, whether Elves or Men. Whether it is hope or fear, if Beren returns to Menegroth, we will be able to return to Menegroth." Wouldn't let him see the sun in the morning."

Lucien was silent at the side. From this moment on, Dorias had never heard her singing, and Dorias was shrouded in sadness. Even the shadow seemed much longer in Doriath.

When Beren left Doriath, the country of Thingol, he crossed the forest of Nildoreth, and turned northward into Nandun Gortheb (the dreadful valley of death) before which stretched endlessly, Endless mountains of terror. Afterwards, he entered the Anach Trail and came to a vast valley plain surrounded by mountains. Then Beren turned northwest and came to the fountains of the Tor Sirion. Here, there are still bloodstains that have dried up long ago, and the forests on both sides of the river have been almost completely cut down. He even found broken armor and weapons in the land here. A few years ago in this land, the allied elves fought a fierce bloody battle with the half-orcs. That battle was so tragic that the black-brown soil, which was infected, still remains red.

Afterwards, Beren crossed the Swamp of Serech, and from here was the line of defense of the allied elves. Belem could clearly see the defense lines built one after another along the mountains like the Great Wall. On some steep and towering peaks, beacon towers are set up, and military facilities such as forts and sentries are also built. Each building is guarded by two or three elf soldiers, two of whom stand guard and observe while the other hides. The function of this arrangement is to prevent soldiers from being shot with cold arrows. Once a soldier is shot to death with cold arrows, the one who is hiding can quickly ring the alarm bell or light the beacon tower to inform the coalition forces of the enemy's situation.

He just waited and watched for a while, before approaching, he was surrounded by a team of fully armed elites, a dozen pairs of bows and arrows aimed at him, and the leader of the elves asked him where he came from. Beren didn't dare to hesitate at all. He raised the ring in his hand and responded loudly, "I am Beren, son of Belemir. I have something to see Finrod. This is a gift from the Elf King to my father."

The leading elf recognized the ring given by Finrod and knew that the human named Beren was not lying. The elven literature and art of casting rings cannot be successfully cast by humans. Besides, they had heard the name of the human hero Belemir to some extent. Knowing that this human had fought alongside Finrod and had saved Finrod's life. So the elves took Beren to Finrod.

In the north, the three races built a solid line of defense along the Terror Mountains to prevent Morgoth from going south from the north. Several elf kings have gathered here for a long time. Compared with the stable and peaceful rear, the safety of the north is more important than anything else. Therefore, basically few elf kings left the north. Except that there is an urgent need to return to the South,

The rest of the time is in the north, helping Jiang Ning train the army. In particular, the coordinated mixed operations of the three races! The elves are tall and mighty, with sharp facial features, and are competent for all arms. However, due to the superb archery skills of the elves, most of the archers are still elves. The dwarves are short in stature, but they are strong and mighty. They are not inferior to the elves in fighting the orcs. Moreover, the forging technology of the dwarves has improved rapidly, which is related to the talent they inherited from Aoli. And human beings are mediocre, but they are the most learned race among the three races. In the past few years when the three races formed a coalition, humans not only followed the army to fight against Morgoth, but also learned a lot from elves and dwarves. In addition, human beings can reproduce very quickly, so he is the most numerous combat force in the coalition.

Moreover, because humans are also very brave in combat, they are also very loyal. No matter which of the two races, they gave full respect to the human beings who fought side by side with them. Although they would despise them in their hearts, at least they would not blatantly insult their comrades. The second clan is not stupid, God knows what you did on the battlefield today may also cause no one to be willing to help you when you need help the most. Therefore, although Morgoth's conspiracy is spreading among the coalition forces, generally speaking, there is no harmony among the three tribes.

Beren soon saw Finrod. Finrod, who was guarding a place, never left his armor and weapons all day long, and was always dressed in military attire. In fact, everyone here dresses like this. Even at night, the armor will not be taken off, and the armor will only be taken off for a short time during maintenance and cleaning. Beren met Finrod and showed him the ring Finrod had given his father as proof of his identity. Afterwards, Beren told Finrod about his experiences in these years, and what happened to him when he met Lucien and in Doriath. After hearing this, Finrod was surprised and disturbed, just as he once said to Galadriel, the oath he made, now someone came to him and asked him to keep his promise, even if the consequence was at the cost of his life . Therefore, he said with a heavy heart: "Things are very clear, Xin Ge's purpose is to kill you. But he did not expect that the power of fate would far exceed his budget, and now Ferno's curse is active again, only For he covets the Silmarillion. He does not understand that the Silmaril bears a heavy curse, and will be awakened again by his words, his greed, and his desire to possess. And the sons of Fernor will not Tolerating the Silmarillion to fall into anyone's hands, they would rather have the whole West reduced to scorched earth, and all the Elven kingdoms reduced to ashes, than let anyone take even one of the Silmarils, just because the oath is persecuting Watching them, no one can stop this oath, not even the Valar. So, don't look at us elves, many races are now gathered together to deal with Morgoth, but the relationship between us has not improved much. There are still contradictions among the elves After all, the massacre of the Teleri was carried out by the Noldor himself. Now, with Fingolfin's death, Yinenvale's demand for his life after the vengeance he had promised cannot be fulfilled. Therefore Thingol To ask you to fetch a Silmaril is to kill you. But, as I said just now, the oath that persecuted the descendants of Fernor is also driven by the oath that I made at the beginning. Although I don't have any affection or sympathy for you, but I will fulfill the vow I made at the beginning."

Therefore, Finrod explained his responsibilities, and at the same time wrote a letter to inform Jiang Ning. and together with Beren, went to Angband.
