Sword and Magic and Taxi

Two elves and two dwarves were the last remaining members of the rescue team. They carried Zhao Mai on their backs and followed a rather hidden and difficult path to escape from the back mountain of the fortress full of iron thorns. They circled around and arrived at the Elf's base camp. Some star elves also participated in the expedition against Melkor. They had a small camp with more than a dozen tents, and Zhao Mai was placed here.

Thank you, Kara. Zhao Mai said to the star elf: Thank you and all the people who went to rescue me. Elf Nita, human warrior Gallagher, and dwarf Paladin Zoff, thank you. I also wish Pamme Rest the souls of Ra and Hat. If it had not been for you, I would surely have died in the prison of Melkor.

This is what we should do, respected prophet Mairon. Kara said: We have all seen your majestic fight with Melkor in order to protect us. All the fellow star elves are safe and sound, of course we should find a way to save you .”

It's a pity that I didn't win. Of course, I didn't think I could win. After leaving the Demonic Prison, and with food and water, Zhao Mai's body is recovering quickly, and gradually transformed from skinny to normal. status. He said: Melkor is indeed a powerful Dark Lord, but he will definitely fail in the end.

I don't care who wins or loses. I have completed the task, so I should be paid, right? Gallagher is a strong man with solid muscles, and a two-handed sword is as light as anything on his back. His eyes were fierce and anxious: And Pamela's share, you can't withhold it just because she is dead! I want to take it back to her family.

In front of our prophet... Before Kara finished speaking, Zhao Mai waved his hand, It doesn't matter, it's normal to be a soldier and eat food. I'm very curious about the price of going deep into Melkor's lair to rescue me. ?”

It's an elf gem, a white, brilliant diamond! Gallagher snorted and said, That's the elf's most valuable thing!

It turns out to be diamonds. Zhao Mai said to Kara: Go and help me get some charcoal from outside. I will make diamonds for you right now. By the way, I wonder what Mr. Dwarf wants?

I am not a gentleman, but a woman. Paladin Zoff pointed to his beard and whispered: Female dwarves also have beards.

Sorry, I haven't seen the dwarf for a long time. The last time I witnessed the birth of the dwarf was in Auli's workshop. Zhao Mai said: Do you have any requests? You also like gems, right?

I like gems, but I don't want gems. The bearded female dwarf suddenly knelt down and prayed: I am the dwarf you created, the eighth clan. But the seven major clans do not accept us, and we have no home. . There is no place for us to stay in Arda. We have no traditions, no gods, and no inheritance of culture. We are vassals of the seven major clans. We only work if we don’t work. If we continue like this, we will disappear soon. I Please find a way out for us so that we can continue and live.”

Aoli! Zhao Mai clenched his fists, very dissatisfied with the creator of the dwarf and his master. But he said to the dwarf in a pleasant manner: Okay, I will do this well. I will find you a paradise, I will let you live a happy life, and teach you how to gain the ability to be happy.

Prophet, here comes the charcoal. Kara carried a bag of charcoal from outside. Dwarves like to use this kind of thing, especially when smelting. Elves can't stand the behavior of suffocating wood to death. However, under Zhao Mai's education, the Star Elf paid more attention to recovery and recycling after use, so he had no objection to the use of charcoal itself.

There are many treasures in the world, most of which are crystals of soil and earth, such as various gems. But there are two kinds of gems from plants, one is amber - the tears of plants; the other is diamond - the crystallization of plants. Therefore Unknowingly, elves love these two gems the most. Zhao Mai took the charcoal in his hand, concentrated on using his divine power, clenched his fists hard, and then slammed it on the table. The black and gray charcoal was beaten into dust and scattered, and hundreds of large and small diamonds stopped on the table. This is not magic, this is just the most basic transformation of matter. You can rest assured to take away these diamonds, they will not disappear or turn into something else. Of course, I don't know why you like this kind of thing that may burn if you put it in the fire. Stone—it doesn’t last forever at all.”

Ha, I don't like it either, but this can be exchanged for gold coins. Gallagher said with a smile. He took out a small cloth bag and placed it on the edge of the table, then swept his big hand across the table and swept all the diamonds into the bag. Okay, I believe in the guarantee of the divine prophet. This completes the entire task and I can go home!

Gallagher was in high spirits, turned around and walked out of the tent with a bag of diamonds. A very realistic person. Zhao Mai said: Actually, I am the same, no different from him.

But... aren't you Maiya? Kara said with some surprise.

It is true that I am a Maia. Ilúvatar created all the angels of the Ainur, and separated the Valar and the Maia. He also created life, both elves and men. Aulë and I created After defeating the dwarves, Melkor created dragons and balrogs, and transformed trolls and orcs. Only the combination of these can form a complete Arda. Even if one day there are no more dragons and balrogs in the sky and the earth, Without the elves and orcs, they will still continue in people's hearts and in this world.

Zhao Mai stood up and said to the elves and dwarves: Let's go. This battle will determine the winner, and it is no longer safe here.

Unexpectedly, Kara shook her head and said to Zhao Mai: Prophet Mailon, we can't leave. We are also elves. If we leave when we are fighting against evil, wouldn't we abandon our companions?

Very good. You dared to ask questions at the earliest, and now you dare to question my decision. And you have thought about it and did not object for the sake of objection. This is very good. Zhao Mai said to Kara: I took you with me at the beginning I left, partly because I don’t want to see you being tortured by Melkor, and partly because I want to build the Tower of Babel and need your strength. I took advantage of you.”

No, you taught us a lot of knowledge and skills, and the key is how to look at the world. We stay, not to abandon your education, but to practice it. Now our star elves are the most developed among all elves. The best and most energetic team, which is inseparable from your teachings.

Kara and other elves knelt down on one knee and rested their foreheads on the back of their raised right hand. We are just pleading, hoping to be able to sail on our own. One day we will also build the Tower of Babel and go to the depths of the stars to find the secrets of the world.

Ha, okay. But don't build a tower. It's actually better to use a flying ship. Zhao Mai helped the elves up and hugged them one by one. I want to take my dwarves to find a paradise. You go and do one last thing for me: find your fellow elves and bring me the seeds of the best plants!

Yes, let's do it right away.
