At this moment, Rivendell on the other side ushered in another figure.
The figure sits on a white steed, wearing a gray wizard hat with a high horn on his head, his tall body is hidden between gray robes, his face is covered with a whitish beard and long hair, and only the bottom can be seen, with kind eyes.
At this moment, Gandalf's face was full of vicissitudes, and his face was exhausted, but he still held the old staff tightly and walked towards the main city of Rivendell.
During this period of time, he has not actually been idle, and has been running around in the various kingdoms of Middle-earth.
And since he learned that Sauron had obtained the Supreme Lord of the Rings more than ten years ago, his life has become busier.
He spent almost the whole year swimming around Mordor, helping the allied armies of mankind against the encroachment of Sauron and his armies on Middle-earth.
More than ten years ago, when the strong orcs just returned under the leadership of Sauron, the army of the human kingdom near Mordor was defeated.
But fortunately, he got Carl's help and asked Green Kingdom to send troops to guard the border, so he maintained the "balance and stability" of Middle-earth.
However, now the long-standing balance has suddenly been broken.
The army of strong orcs once again became fierce and violent, changing the normal state of making small fights before.
This situation made Gandalf, who had been observing the situation in Mordor uneasy, in his heart, so this time he returned to Rivendell, but he was preparing to discuss countermeasures with his ally, the wise master of the elves, Elrond.
When Elrond heard that Gandalf had come, he also hurriedly appeared in the hall in a short time.
The two met, and after a while of reminiscing, Gandalf and Elrond explained the purpose of this visit.
Gandalf said leisurely:
"King Elrond, the city of Gondor, Minas Ithir, has been captured by the armies of Sauron.
"Now most of Isilion has fallen under the control of the strong orc army.
"Moreover, they are still resting, gathering a large number of orcs.
These strong orcs are not satisfied, they are still trying to expand outward."
Gandalf looked worried and said,
"Someone has already seen a large army of strong orcs set out from the gate of the magic farm, and soon, the human kingdom in the north may also be invaded by them."
"So, I think, before the disaster breaks out, we must first come up with countermeasures to guard against the army of strong orcs.
"Well." Elrond listened carefully to Gandalf's narration, then nodded, frowned slightly, and pondered.
Although the relationship between humans and elves is actually not very good, he, like Gandalf, is also a benevolent lord, but he also has righteousness in his heart.
Therefore, he naturally did not want to see the humans on the Middle-earth continent being invaded by war.
And Gandalf is willing to come to him for help, and he is naturally willing to contribute to it.
What's more, he who has personally participated in the war against the strong orcs also understands the destructive power of these monsters.
The two were pondering and thinking about countermeasures when footsteps were heard outside the hall.
When the two heard the movement, they regained their senses and looked towards the person who came. A slowly approaching figure came into their eyes.
I saw that the coming person had long black hair, piercing gray eyes, a determined and handsome face, and a tall and strong body.
The visitor walked in front of him and bowed to Elrond. Seeing Elrond nodded, he turned to Gandalf with a gentle smile: "Gandalf, long time no see."
"Haha," Gandalf looked at the visitor with kindly eyes, and replied with a smile, "it's you, Aragorn."
The person who came was the direct descendant of Isildur, the Dunedain who was of the royal blood of Númenor, Aragorn.
Aragorn is now also the son of the King of the Dúnedain, the only remaining Dunedain in Middle-earth.
Now he is here for a reason.
In the first era of Middle-earth, the master of all disasters at that time was not Sauron, but the demon god Melkor.
At that time, Sauron was only Melkor's attendant.
Melkor is the most powerful god under Iluvatar.
But its idea is incomparably evil and dangerous.
At the beginning of the world's birth, it saw the idea of the perfect world described by Iluvatar, but it did not want to see such a world.
So, it wanted to bring the created Arda into extreme chaos and darkness.
It wants to destroy the creation of the God of Creation Iluvatar, change the laws, and then steal the divine fire of creation–the inextinguishable fire.
Therefore, it integrates its own genes into the world, penetrates into the original beautiful setting, and creates many terrible monsters.
It enslaved the early-born elves, transformed them with its own evil genes, instilled and distorted their thoughts with its own thoughts, made the fair bodies of the elves ugly, and made their thoughts cruel and full of destruction and Killing – this is the origin of the orcs in the early Middle-earth.
And the terrifying Glauron he cultivated is the ancestor of all dragon-shaped creatures today.
Whether it is the flame dragon Smaug, or the frost dragon Groppa, or even the black dragon Ankaragon, they are all its descendants.
He is good at guiding everything in the direction of destruction.
The head of Sauron and the Balrog, Gossmog, was originally a servant of the gods, but he was still tempted and used by it to become evil.
So, in the First Era, it led the countless monster legions he created to launch an endless offensive against Middle-earth.
And it almost ruled this continent.
But accidents always happen. When everyone is helpless, a figure stands out.
And that person, named Eyarendil.
In a desperate situation, Eyalendil looked at the shattered Middle-earth continent, and resolutely chose to embark on the road to the west, and boarded the sailboat to the Divine Realm and Aman Continent.
He braved the endless turbulence of the Belegea Sea and the pursuit of the black dragon Ankaragang, and crossed the ocean, but he took the Silmarillion forcibly, and finally successfully arrived in Aman, and obtained the gods of Valinor. forgive.
The gods were moved by his persistent spirit and unyielding will, and decided to go to Middle-earth to participate in the crusade against the demon god Melkor.
Then, after the biggest war in Middle-earth, the War of Wrath, a large area of Middle-earth was sunk into the bottom of the sea, and Mirko was finally expelled from the world of Arfan and was driven into the The realm of emptiness outside the world.
The Middle-earth continent has experienced this tragic battle of gods, and although it has become riddled with holes, it has been spared.
And the savior of all this is Ejarendil.
Without him, Middle-earth might have been occupied and wiped out by evil.
And Ejarendil had two children, one named Elrond.
The other is named — Elros.
Elrond is now the elf lord of Rivendell.
And Elros is the creator of the Númenor kingdom and the ancestor of the Dunedain people. Aragorn is his descendant.
Therefore, Elrond is the elder brother of Aragon's ancestors.
Since the sinking of Númenor, founded by Elros, the Dúnedain, which has been in decline, has lost its former prosperity.
The survivors of the Dunedain people, who have evolved into nomads, are active in the north of Middle-earth.
And their patriarch, that is, the legacy bloodline of every Dúnedain royal family, will go to Rivendell to receive his teaching according to tradition.
So, over time, Elrond became the adoptive father of all the chiefs of the Dúnedain.
Today, Aragorn is the adopted son of the Dúnedain of his generation, Elrond.
When Aragorn appeared here, he was accepting his guidance.
