Sword and Magic and Taxi

I... I may have really remembered it wrong. Serandis lowered his head, focused his eyes on Zhao Mai's toes, and replied slowly: I asked other people and checked many records, but there was no Those things in my memory. There are not two Myrons, and the Tower of Babel is not the same thing. It seems...possible...

I only care about your feelings. Do you think there is something wrong with you or something is wrong with the world. For psychic powers, this is very important.

Thrandis hesitated, not knowing how to answer, but at this moment, a star elf came to Thrandis and said to Zhao Mai: Lord Celebrimbor, Lord Wizard, although you It came in response to the prophecy, but you can’t force us star elves like this.”

Kara once said that star elves should pursue the secrets hidden in the starry sky on their own. I didn't force anyone, I just asked a question. Zhao Mai explained with a smile: I have never considered myself a god, so I never say that those who believe in me will be saved. But I still hope to move forward with like-minded people, that would be more interesting.

We don't know what you mean by this? History is certain. It's not a big problem if Thrandis remembers it wrong. Why do you have to let her...

Zhao Mai raised his palm and interrupted him: How about this, you and I both shut up and wait for Thrandis's answer?

The star elf opened his mouth slightly, then nodded. Zeratul squeezed in from outside the crowd, pushed the star elf behind him with his shoulders, and stood firmly beside his sister. The elf girl opened her eyes, looked around, and finally found strength in her brother's eyes. She said: I still feel like I was right and they were all wrong!

This... the star elf who was squeezed away said: Thrandis, you don't have to be like this. The star elf...

Everything my sister said is right. Zeratul snorted, then turned to Zhao Mai: Tverdo, aren't you troublesome? We are not looking for you to teach history class!

Well, I will be responsible for this matter to the end. By the way, you came to me according to the prophecy, but what exactly are you doing?

Actually, we are looking for Lord Celebrimbor. The Star Elves have always been attached to the Noldor Elves and have not been able to become independent. We also wanted to build a ship to go to Valinor, the Western Continent, but we were not allowed. We hope to have An Elven Ring protects us star elves and allows us to have a permanent residence like Rivendell.

Zhao Mai closed his eyes. The star elf once said in front of him that he would make a star ship and go to the depths of the universe. But in this parallel world, the ships built by the Star Elves want to go to Valinor. It seems that historical changes have caused drastic changes in their culture, from an elf group that was brave enough to explore to a second-class elf that has no self-confidence and no magnanimity.

They did not try to build their own new home, nor did they have a great navigator like Elendil (Elrond's father). They just placed their hopes on the prophecies and on Celebrimbor. . Zhao Mai thought for a while, and then asked: Where did you get the prophecy?

We... the star elves looked at each other, and finally one of them said: We went to the Orthank Tower in Isengard to find the wisdom of Saruman (from now on, we will use the wizard's human name for easier recognition). ). Under his guidance, we cast the spell of prophecy to see the future of our clan.

Is there such a powerful spell? Can you demonstrate it to me again?

No, we also tried after we came back, hoping to pinpoint your location more accurately. However, without Saruman's help and the facilities of Orthanc Tower, we could not cast that spell.

Zhao Mai nodded. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with the fact that the Star Elves went to Saruman for guidance. Saruman the White is the leader of the five great wizards. His wisdom and knowledge are already outstanding, and Orthank Tower in Isengard is a treasure house of wisdom and knowledge. Gandalf will also go to the library there. Only by searching through the records can one determine the appearance and abilities of the Supreme Ring.

However, Saruman has always longed for his own Ring of Power. He has the strongest magic power and is the only Maia among the five wizards who came to Middle-earth completely voluntarily. However, the elves gave Gandalf the Ring of Fire, one of the three rings, which caused a big knot in his heart. . The prophecy may be true, such as the appearance of Celebrimbor, but Saruman tampered with it and asked Celebrimbor to make another Elven Ring for the sake of the Star Elves. Maybe he would There is a chance.

You have the Ring of Power, where are you going to settle down? Zhao Mai asked, squinting his eyes.

Saruman invited us to Fangorn Forest, just near Isengard. The forest there has always been very primitive, and there are tree shepherds living in the forest. We can build a beautiful home there, and Saruman is willing to help us.

This is a one-stop service...

Dragon? Didn't Smaug, the last dragon, die in Lake Town?

It's okay, I'm talking about something else, don't take it to heart. Zhao Mai was completely sure that Saruman had moved his hands and feet in this prophecy, and the purpose could only be the Ring of Power. I will no longer forge the Ring of Power. It is too dangerous. After all, the Supreme Lord of the Rings is still there. But I am willing to help you with other things. As the best craftsman among the elves, whether you want to return to Verin No matter if you still have a home like Rivendell, I can help you, please don’t worry.”

Oh, this is great! Smiles appeared on the faces of the star elves, and they even sang.

Only two elves were not smiling. Thrandis frowned, worried. How can you have psychic powers if you place your soul on others? In her heart, her fellow star elves... have become very strange now. They seem to be just ordinary elves, even worse than ordinary elves. The blood of the star elves is still there, but the essence is gone.

The sorrow in Zeratul's eyes was caused by his sister's sorrow. He was also a star elf who placed his heart on others. But I finally entrusted the right person. This is Zhao Mai's evaluation of Zeratul.

The Ring of Power will only cause trouble to the Star Elves. Their dependence on others was amplified by the Ring. It would be strange if the entire clan did not become puppets controlled by Sauron! Compared with this, the problem of returning to Valinor seems not big. Zhao Mai has a good relationship with Ulmo, the god of the sea, and the possibility of opening the waterway is very high. Even if nothing is done, all elves will eventually leave Middle-earth, and this group of elves will not be allowed.

Rivendell is even simpler. Elrond would leave with his people, thus leaving Rivendell empty. Without Elrond and his Ring of Air, Rivendell would certainly not be what it is now, but the Star Elves wouldn't care. Therefore, the future of the Star Elves is what they thought, and Zhao Mai does not need to do anything.

And the star elves were still thanking him.
