Sword and Magic and Taxi

After completing the creation of the dwarves, Aulë's abilities also improved by leaps and bounds, and soon it prepared various things for the world of Arda to welcome the arrival of elves, dwarves, and humans. Since the construction work was progressing smoothly, the Valar were in no mood to fight, so they once again rejected the suggestion of Tokas, the god of battle, to attack Melkor. Tuokas went to fight Melkor himself, but was defeated many times.

Zhao Mai felt helpless seeing this group of gods huddled on the island of Valinor, living like a family every day. Although each of these gods is very powerful, their rigid personalities and actions cannot make Zhao Mai like them.

No Maiya can understand his mentality, they just call it Myron's trait and simply express their appreciation. Zhao Mai spends more time chatting with Xiaohua and the others, or honing his skills alone on the coast of Valinor, and communicates less and less with Vera and Maia. He hoped for change in Valinor.

Change has finally arrived, and a message spreads around the island. Myron taught Melkor how he defeated the Valar, so he could always win.

Zhao Mai doesn't know where this information first appeared. Because it is true, it is very troublesome. Tuokas, the god of battle, was the first to find Zhao Mai and said excitedly: Mylon, did Melkor's fist skills come from you?

That was indeed inspired by me. Zhao Mai felt that it would be better to admit it. Besides, it was not a lie. However, I don't think the inspiration I gave him is the root of Melkor's strength.

Of course not. How could you only see how far your fingers stretch and forget the length of your arms? Tokas chuckled, then raised his fists. His arms were as thick as his calves, and his thighs were like bulging iron pillars. Zhao Mai had seen Tuokas easily break the sound barrier by running on the flat ground, and was very afraid of this guy who moved faster than he talked. But my dear brother, the God of War, still said those words: Myron, can you also enlighten me?

Fight? Zhao Mai shook his head: Melko is better than me. If you fight him, wouldn't it be good to be inspired by him?

No! Tuokas suddenly stopped smiling and straightened his face: Melkor ruined the rhythm of the great movement of Iluvatar. Not only did he become corrupted, but he also caused some Valar and Maia to corrupt as well. We cannot accept it. How can his characteristics be inspired by him?”

He seemed to be very angry at Zhao Mai's words. He was so angry that he forgot about fighting Zhao Mai, turned around and left with his fist in hand. Zhao Mai breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had escaped another disaster. He once fought the queen of the White Walkers, and that experience told him not to fight something that could be infinitely resurrected. It would be boring and boring. Zhao Mai's fighting skills and knowledge far surpass Tuokas, just as his strength far surpasses Zhao Mai. The only possible outcome is that Zhao Mai defeats him in various tricks. If I have this time, I might as well accompany the people in the car, play backgammon, or continue to study divine power and life.

Just when the impact of the first news was about to fade away, another, more explosive news spread throughout Valinor. Zhao Mai took advantage of the convenience of building a giant lamp to bring Melkor back from the void and let him enter Arda with his own hands. The Fourteenth Valar defeated Melkor and forced him to flee into the void, originally thinking that he would be lost in it and never come back. Unexpectedly, Myron was influenced by Melkor and helped him return.

Besides being influenced by Melkor, the rest is also true. Zhao Mai knew the source of the news as soon as he heard it. It must have been released by Melkor. But how did he spread the news to Valinor? Logically speaking, he shouldn't have the ability to cross the sea warning line and mountain barriers?

Why did Melkor dismantle the giant lamp so quickly? Even Aulë asked Zhao Mai this way, which shows how suspicion spread in Valinor. Zhao Mai couldn't answer this question because only Melkor knows the answer. Fourteen Veras gathered together to discuss this issue with Zhao Mai.

One Maia and fourteen Valar, although everyone is standing on the ground, no one seems to be higher or lower, but the depressing atmosphere caused by the different numbers is still inevitable. Zhao Mai looked at Manwe, the King of Arda and the God of Atmosphere. I asked for an investigation. When I opened the boundary of space, only Melkor entered, and only he could spread the news. There must be his men in Valinor, or he repeated his old tricks, changed his appearance and went to the island to deceive. !I demand that this matter be investigated.”

You were on top of the giant lamp and were affected by the light. Neither we nor all Maia could see what happened nearby. Only you and Melkor knew about it. However, it was proposed to build the giant lamp very high and connect it to the endless void. You are also the one connected, so how do you explain this?

I have my own ideas in this, which is allowed - I can play my own music - and my ideas do not include helping Melkor. Zhao Mai frowned and said: You want to explain, this That’s the whole explanation.”

You have repeatedly proposed to establish a small, incomplete organization and let a small group of Valar and Maia manage others. This is actually Melkor's approach in the territory he controlled. Manwë said loudly, in his words With violent winds and lightning: Melkor and the corrupt Ainur whom he bewitched polluted Arda in this way. They turned into black shadows, and everywhere they walked was filled with black smoke and red fire (fire) This is how demons come). Melkor’s approach was also inspired by you?”

Of course not. I have never told him anything similar.

Then you are going to imitate him and implement his methods in Valinor?

Zhao Mai stared at Manwe and shook his head: Did you just see the superficial similarity and conclude that the two are the same? I only saw you trapped in Valinor, while Melkor was making waves in Zhongzhou Continent. I I know that you will not die, and therefore you will not be defeated. But if the stalemate continues, it will only delay the time for the elves, dwarves, and humans to wake up indefinitely. Arda will never be truly completed! I helped Melkor, that is a fact. But I I don’t think I have harmed the Valar and Maia, let alone corrupted or harmed Valinor!”

The Valar looked at each other, each had an opinion, and then discussed it with each other. In the end, they voted, with half believing Myron was not at fault and the other half not. Although it was a tie, Zhao Mai couldn't help but feel discouraged when he saw that his master Aoli voted in favor and thought that his apprentice was at fault.

Manwe, King of Arda, raised the question, but he ultimately voted against it and did not think Zhao Mai was wrong. In that case, nothing has been decided this time, everything remains as it was before. Mylon, Melkor is the destroyer and enemy of Arda, so be careful.

Zhao Mai did not look at Manwei, but kept looking at Aoli, the god of earth. The latter grabbed a ball of soil and started playing with it in his hands. He suddenly realized that when the dwarves had independent abilities, who wanted to modify them? Who raised the sledgehammer when Ilúvatar thought the dwarves were overstepping their authority? He just wants a creation that is as perfect as himself.

Therefore, he no longer wanted to stay in Valinor and stay with Aulë.
