I'm In Middle-Earth: Going To Slay A Dragon At The Start

Chapter 21: The Existence of Beyond the World

The next day, Carl and his party of 16 appeared at the exit of Rivendell, and Elrond, the elf king, came out to see them off.

He said to Gandalf: “Gandalf… the road ahead may not be so peaceful, be careful yourself.”

Gandalf smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Elrond sighed again.

Although he wanted to do something for his old friend, it was impossible for him to send an elf army to help the dwarves who were on their opposite side, Thorin, to take back the Arken Stone.

Moreover, there is no doubt about the power of the dragon Smaug in the Lonely Mountain. Only a powerful warrior or a wizard who is good at powerful magic can match such a dragon.

But if you want to rely on ordinary means, rely on human sea tactics to defeat, or even kill, you don’t know how many kingdom troops will be sacrificed.

So if he really went to help Sorin, the elf casualties in the territory would definitely be inevitable.

And as the Elf King of Rivendell, it is impossible for him to let his people fall into this unprovoked war, which is not in line with their interests.

Therefore, he could only pray here, hoping that Gandalf would return in triumph.

After thinking about it, Elrond’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his face darkened slightly when he saw the two figures beside him.

I saw that two people were holding their hands tightly at the moment, reluctant to part.

Carl looked at Yawen with tears in his eyes and smiled reluctantly: “Yawen, it’s time to let go, I have to go.”

“Carl, can’t we stay a little longer?”

“can not.”

“Will you come back safely?”

“Of course.”

“Can’t I really go with you?”

“Ask your father.”

“Do you…have anything to say to me?”

“Well… no.”

“…”

Carl finally followed the crowd, while Yawen could only stand at the city gate, watching his back gradually disappear.

While watching, there was a burst of unpleasant words behind him: “Okay, don’t look at it, everyone has gone away, come back with me.”

Between the words, there was an inexplicable sour taste.

Yawen cast a glance at her father Elrond, but turned her head away directly, her face was cold, and she almost wrote the words “emotion” on her face.

Of course, she was really emotional and angry.

Because the father she hated, even let her cry and begged last night, and he didn’t agree to her request to go out.

But now, the sweetheart she was thinking about day and night has left again, and she has not even been able to express her thoughts to him properly. Thinking of not knowing when the next meeting will be, Yawen’s complaint in her heart just doesn’t need to be said.

Now Yawen’s dissatisfied look is directly displayed on her face, but it makes Elrond gasp for a while.

Then, looking at the back of his daughter who turned away, Elrond’s breath calmed down after a while, and he couldn’t help sighing.

How could he not understand his daughter’s mind? As the so-called beauty is sad for heroes!

Carl was indeed a “hero” in his mind.

Because yesterday, after he heard Gandalf describe Carl’s deeds in detail, his understanding of Carl, a human ranger, was clearer.

In the face of a giant who is far more powerful than oneself, it is heroic to be able to rush forward without fear; to see the weak being bullied, and to take action with justice is a narrow sense; to anticipate opportunities and cut disasters at the beginning is to be wise ; Adhere to morality for three years and never change, not changing the original intention, is for perseverance.

All of this shows that Carl is a powerful and admirable ranger.

However, despite his outstanding character and merit, there is still one thing that cannot be denied, and that is – Carl is…a human being.

Elrond thought about it, but shook his head again, sighed again, and turned to leave slowly.

He wants to think about his daughter, and there is nothing wrong with what he does now.

……

Carl touched the silver pendant called Comet hanging around his neck, thinking of Yawen’s reluctance just now, but a smile appeared on her indifferent face.

It is undeniable that, as the daughter of the Elf King, Yawen, who inherited the noble royal blood of the Noldor Elf, is indeed beautiful and heart-wrenching.

Coupled with that pure and flawless heart, it is even more impossible for people to raise a hateful heart.

However, it was precisely because Yawen was so beautiful that Carl refused.

He remembered that in the original plot, Yawen seemed to have fallen in love with a human being, so she gave up the opportunity to follow her parents and family back to Valinor, the blissful paradise belonging to the elves, and finally led to the fate of death.

Such a fate seemed sad and somewhat unfair to Carl.

Abandoning everything for love, at first glance, it seems that it is indeed worthy of admiration and admiration.

After all, for love, everything is thrown away, isn’t that beautiful and great enough?

But, look at the end, what is Yawen’s situation?

Happy times are always short, especially for human beings, but a hundred years of life will disappear in a blink of an eye, turning into dead bones.

Yawen fell in love with a human and abandoned everything for this. In the end, after the human died, she could only survive on this Middle-earth continent alone.

By then, all her relatives had left her, Rivendell disappeared, the Noldor were gone, and the laughter of Rothlorian was no more. Everything and everything about her seemed to disappear suddenly with the death of human beings.

At that time, the long lifespan is no longer a blessing, loneliness is tortured, silence is surrounded, vitality begins to retreat, and hope begins to indifferent. The fairies who were supposed to be full of brilliance… began to accept their fate—fall.

Thinking of all this, Carl felt that such a fate arrangement was extremely unfair to Yawen.

Today, Yawen seems to belong to him, but he is a human being.

Everything seems to be a joke, fate seems to be reincarnated, should everything develop according to the original trajectory?

Carl doesn’t think he’s a good person, but as far as his current wishes are concerned, he doesn’t seem to bring the future destiny of a pure soul into the established abyss orbit for pure desire.

Besides, when it comes to desires, Carl feels that being strong enough before the war comes, is his most pressing desire right now.

Carl took another look at the silver pendant that represented Yawen’s hope and blessings, and the smile on his face slowly faded when he thought of the words of farewell before leaving.

Thinking of putting this thing aside for now.

But the next moment, an inexplicable thought suddenly flashed in Carl’s mind.

“God… seems to be able to live forever, if you say,”

He thought of another way to change his fate.

There are indeed gods in this world. They usually do not show their bodies, but they are watching everything that happens on the ground, and sometimes they even intervene in human affairs.

Those guys… are the existences that are beyond the world, and life and death seem to be no big problem in their eyes. *
