Sword and Magic and Taxi

There was a long table placed in the middle of Elrond's big room, and it was now filled with people on both sides, mostly elves, but there were also some guests of other races. As the local master, the Elf King sat on the throne at the end of the long table as usual and looked down at everyone. On one side of him sat Glorfindel and on the other side was Saruman.

Zhao Mai did not sit down, but chose to stand behind Frodo, which made the halfling very nervous. He has raised this issue several times, but Zhao Mai finally refused. Oh, Frodo, actually I'm not standing. You see, the soles of my feet are still some distance from the ground.

Theoretically, Zhao Mai flew in, but the distance from the ground was very low, so he had to lie down to see clearly. He did not set foot in the room, eat anything or enjoy the drinks. He can't even come in to eat with his food reserves, which makes him very depressed. You must know that elves basically eat vegetarian food all day long. Although they can digest meat, they usually have neither reserves nor food on the table. In order to entertain guests from all over the world, Rivendell bought meat from the human town Brie. That's the elves' barbecue skills! The food reserve could only watch helplessly.

Whether it was Elrond, Glorfindel or Saruman, they all exuded an aura of nobility when they sat on top. There are other people. Although their auras are not as strong as those of the three, it can be easily concluded that they are not ordinary people. However, no matter what kind of breath it is, as long as it approaches Zhao Mai and Frodo, it will be blocked. Zhao Mai uses his own natural force to form a domain. Unless he can find a way to adapt to the environmental rules of this small area, all spells and powers will be affected. It takes a lot of energy to do this, but it's worth it if you can shield yourself from countless prying eyes.

Glorfindel has blond hair and his identity is the most special among all. Elrond is the Elf King, but he is not the only one in the world; Saruman is the leader of wizards and the speaker of the White Council, but he is not the only wizard after all. But Glorfindel was the only elf who died heroically in the battle with Morgoth's Balrog, was resurrected in Valinor, and was then sent back to Middle-earth by Valar and Maia. His power is no less than Saruman, nor less than the Elf King who carries the Ring of Wind.

He looked at Zhao Mai with curious eyes, constantly searching for information from his memory. Looking back now, at the Xiangshui River, no matter whether the Witch King Angmar, the leader of the Ring Spirits, was washed away by the river, the water splash caused by that punch alone knocked down the whole group. It is conceivable that if that punch hits him, he will explode into a ball of water in the air, there is no doubt about it. who is he? Is there such a strong guy in the world?

Elrond seemed to know something, but he didn't share it with anyone, including Saruman. That was Tweldor, friend of the Star Elves, a very brave warrior. These were Elrond's exact words. But how Tweldo became a friend of the Star Elf, and how he was allowed to continue to protect Frodo because of his bravery, is a mysterious unknown.

Many people are very interested in Zhao Mai's identity, and this interest will also transfer to the halfling Frodo. Not everyone knows the true purpose of this meeting. Most people just obeyed the call of the Elf King Elrond and came here to discuss how to face the evil threat in the east. As for the Supreme Lord of the Rings, this issue is hidden underneath.

Zhao Mai faced everyone's curious eyes and slowly closed his eyes. This does not affect his momentum at all, but can make people with ghosts in their hearts even more worried. Originally, many people wanted to come over and meet new friends, especially halflings who were very rare outside the Shire Kingdom, but they did not give up the idea now. So Frodo's only new friend is the dwarf Groin.

Groen once adventured with Frodo's uncle, Bilbo Baggins, who was one of the twelve dwarves who recaptured Erubor. Frodo spoke of his admiration, and Groen introduced his son. I will ask Gimli to come to you later. You younger generations should get to know each other. He is much stronger and stronger than I was back then, and he is also better with an axe. This time I will take him to the elves to see the world. Alas, The last time we were here, we sneaked away, but we can’t do that this time.”

After chatting about friendship for a while, the topic soon turned to the current situation in Middle-earth. Mordor has been successfully raided for several rounds, and its surrounding races and kingdoms have been hit. It is said that a new round of attacks is brewing, and everyone is panicking.

Be careful with Irubo (Gushan), Sauron will attack there. He needs wealth, enough steel and equipment, and Irubo is his best choice. Zhao Mai suddenly opened his eyes and added a sentence Come in. The evil in the dark forest is spreading, and it is difficult to block the flanks of the orcs' northward path. Help the elves...

Maybe the elves in Rivendell are our friends. King Elrond once helped us interpret the map and entertained us warmly. But the elves in the Dark Forest are another matter. Groin was a little surprised. He thought Zhao Mai can't speak. Where are you from, Elf?

Let me tell you a little secret, actually I am not an elf. Zhao Mai blinked and then stopped talking.

It's mysterious, the elves have such weird tempers! The dwarf looked at Frodo: Oh, where did you say just now?

Finding the whereabouts of Bahrain.

Oh, yes. Wherever there is good news, there is bad news. Groin sighed and said: To be fair, everyone is actually quite busy, elves, humans, and wizards. Look over there, the knights of Gondor , and the knights of Rohan, why do humans use the same word? What a trouble! Humans are being beaten, and elves are being beaten. We dwarves are okay, at least we gave the orcs a good beating! The only one who didn't get beaten is probably A wizard. Compared to Saruman in white robes, I still prefer Gandalf in gray robes. It’s not because he and I once took adventures together and recaptured the dwarves’ hometown of Erub, but he is more kind and kind. He is more equal and friendly to us. It’s just that... sometimes he doesn’t know where he is for no apparent reason, but he always seems to show up in time when needed.”

Can it still show up in time this time? Zhao Mai thought of the arrogant Saruman. If he didn't have enough confidence, he would definitely not come to Elrond's meeting. What happened to Gandalf? Without him, where would the Fellowship of the Ring be?

At present, only Frodo can carry the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and it may be difficult for others to bear it. Zhao Mai has felt the call of the Supreme Lord of the Rings many times, and he also longs to use the Lord of the Rings to do good things, such as improving the environment, improving education, and benefiting the entire world. Fortunately, he knows that this world is just a parallel world, and all ideas of staying to benefit the world may have problems. Moreover, he has almost zero world will. He is just a nobody in this venue, and the Lord of the Rings did not spend much effort on him.

So, who is being affected?

After the welcome dinner, the formal meeting took place the next day.
