Chapter 602: The Holy White Council and the Elf Princess

On the other side, the dinner in the mountaintop banquet hall has ended. Although the female elves who performed the dance have already had feelings for the handsome Mike, they advocate platonic love and do not develop a closer relationship with Mike just because of the one encounter.

After sending Mike to the elf guest room, the female elves "supervised" each other and left.

"Sure enough, handsome looks alone are not enough. Matters of the heart still need to be taken slowly..." Mike, who had already taken advantage of a lot of female elves tonight, was not disappointed with the departure of the female elves.

After calming down, he sat on a stone bench and began to plan his next journey.

According to the previous plan, Mike had intended to visit the territories of the three elves first, but now it seems that this plan is a waste of time.

He planned to travel to all corners of Middle-earth at one time. After leaving Rivendell, he could continue eastward through the Mines of Moria and then visit the easternmost human defense line of Gondor.

Then, we went down the Anduin River, passed through Lothlórien (Golden Forest) and Mirkwood (the land of the Sindar elves), and finally arrived at the Lonely Mountain.

This kind of route planning is actually the most time-saving and labor-saving way to travel across Middle-earth.

Just as Mike was readjusting his travel route, Thorin, who had just come out of the Crystal Palace, also came to the elves' rest area and found his dwarf companions.

As expected, Thorin told the others about the runes on the map and the troubles the adventure team encountered.

When the dwarves learned that the adventuring party would need to arrive before Durin's Day if they wanted to enter the Lonely Mountain, they all suggested setting out early the next morning.

But before that, the dwarves wanted to fill their stomachs and prepare for their journey tomorrow morning.

So with everyone's unanimous agreement, the dwarves secretly left the rest area and headed towards the elves' food storage room.

They had done this kind of thing before at Bilbo's house, so they were very skilled at it.

Just at this time, Bilbo, who came over later, saw the dwarves acting sneakily.

"Hey, Bilbo, time to prove your ability as a burglar..."

Before Bilbo could ask any questions, Kili and Fili quietly came up to the hobbit and carried him to the team.

"You're going to steal the elves' food? That's not a good idea!" Bilbo was surprised when he learned about the dwarves' plan.

After all, stealing is never a good thing.

However, having said that, Bilbo, who had also been frustrated along the way, also wanted to prove that he was a useful person in the adventure team, even if he had to act as a "thief".

So when Bilbo arrived at the elven warehouse, he entered the warehouse alone under the watchful eyes of the dwarves, and then brought back a large amount of sausages, smoked fish, various fresh meats, and several barrels of fine wine for the dwarves.

I have to say that the Hobbit's Bigfoot is very talented at being a "snitch".

"Well done..."

After praising Bilbo, the dwarves picked up food and drinks, found a secluded grove, and prepared to have an open-air party.

"This is what people should eat! Bilbo, you are our lucky star, you saved the dwarves' stomachs..."

Soon, when the aroma of barbecue and fireworks wafted through the grove, the dwarves began to get carried away.

Kili and Fili put their arms around Bilbo's shoulders and praised him non-stop, as close as brothers.

"Maybe I can go call Mike over. He didn't eat much at the banquet today..." Bilbo, who was praised, suddenly thought of his human friends.

Otherwise, this person would be able to get along with others.

As soon as the hobbit said this, the scene suddenly became quiet. All the dwarves stopped what they were doing and looked at Bilbo and Thorin.

The dwarves were not stupid either, and it was not difficult for them to sense that Thorin and that human did not get along.

Bilbo's words were tantamount to touching Thorin's bad luck.

"You brought all the food here, so of course you have the right to dispose of it. Besides, Mike helped us on the plains before, so he can be considered a friend of the dwarves..." Just when the atmosphere was tense, Qili spoke up to help the Hobbits ease the embarrassment.

"Kili is right. There is still plenty of food here, enough to entertain one more person." Fili then spoke up for Bilbo.

Kili and Fili are Thorin's nephews and descendants of the royal family of Durin's dwarves. They also have a certain say among the dwarves.

"Why are you looking at me? Keep eating~" Thorin raised the barbecue in his hand and did not lose face to his nephews.

At the same time, he ignored the Hobbits' attempt to smooth things over, which was a disguised way of agreeing to the other party's proposal.

"Great, I'll go call Mr. Mike over right away..." As the scene became lively again, Bilbo smiled.

Then, after saying hello to the dwarves, he ran towards the rest area.

There is also good in having a simple character, and the happiness of the Hobbits is just that simple.

"The dwarves are having a barbecue dinner? Let's go, let's go together~" Mike, who had already determined the next route, decided to go over to help Bilbo to support the occasion and improve the food after listening to Bilbo's description.

The vegetarian feast invited by the Elf King tasted very good, but it was still lacking a bit of fat.

It should be mentioned here that although the elves prefer vegetarian food, they actually eat meat.

Therefore, the vegetarian dinner that the Elf King prepared for everyone today might have been in response to the dwarves' thoughts.

While Mike was eating and drinking with the dwarves, King Aaron and Gandalf in the Crystal Palace decided to hold a "White Council" in Rivendell tomorrow.

It was a large-scale meeting that would only be held when a major decision-making event occurred in Middle-earth.

This kind of meeting also requires the gathering of strong people from various races, including elves, humans, dwarves, wizards, etc.

After sending invitations to Galadriel in the Golden Forest and the most powerful wizard Saruman the White overnight, King Aaron and Gandalf also walked out of the Crystal Palace one after another.

"By the way, at that dinner tonight, were you intentionally targeting the dwarves?" Looking at the fire in the grove in the distance and the laughter of the dwarves, Gandalf asked the Elf King beside him meaningfully.

It can be seen that Gandalf felt much more relaxed after someone shared the pressure of Middle-earth's security issues.

"Who knows~" King Ailon also saw the dwarves hiding in the grove having a party. He smiled and had no intention of holding them accountable.

The Elf King even took away the surrounding elf patrols.

Looking at the Elf King's leaving back, Gandalf smiled silently and then walked towards the direction of the dwarf gathering.

"I just don't believe that humans can drink better than dwarves... For the glory of the Durin dwarves, I want to drink another glass with you..."

"Come on, Gloin~ Don't lose to humans!!!"

"..."

When the wizard arrived at the grove, he saw Groin, who looked like a tough guy, trying to have a drinking contest with Mike.

A group of dwarves were making a fuss nearby.

Of course, several dwarves also fell on the ground due to the drinking contest.

"Whether it's a one-on-one duel or a round-robin duel, just come on!!! I won't turn anyone away..."

Mike's heroic voice was also heard from the crowd, and then he raised his head and readily drank the large glass of wine in front of him.

This generous behavior instantly made the surrounding dwarves cheer.

Then it was Groin's turn. This dwarf warrior was equally unyielding and picked up the wine glass, which was bigger than his head, and took a long time to finish the wine.

Then he shouted "Good wine" and fell to the ground.

That unreliable look instantly caused the dwarves to feel sorry for him.

"Okay, stop it. Gandalf is here." Looking at his companions' "embarrassing" appearance and the way they were becoming more and more familiar with the human Mike, Thorin took advantage of the wizard's arrival to stop everyone.

Didn't let the dwarves continue to make trouble.

"Mike, are you okay? You just drank a lot of wine." At this time, Bilbo also took the opportunity to go to Mike.

Although the Hobbit was slow, he could sense that Mike was using drinking to get ahead for himself.

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?" Mike asked with a smile.

"Not really..." Bilbo answered honestly.

Seeing that Mike's face was not red and he was not out of breath, he began to wonder where the several barrels of wine he had just drunk had gone.

Then, as Thorin deliberately controlled the dwarves to drink, the night party ended hastily after a short while.

After tasting a few pieces of barbecue, Gandalf said goodbye to everyone and went to his resting place.

The next day, when the sunlight shone into the house, a female elf knocked on Mike's door.

"The Elf King and Gandalf are waiting for you in the palace on the top of the mountain. They say they want to discuss something with you and ask you to come over." The female elf in front of him came with a mission.

"Oh, then who else is there besides King Ailon and Gandalf?" Mike put on his clothes and walked to the elf girl.

Instantly, I smelled the fragrance of mountain flowers and plants. It was light and pleasant.

The female elf noticed Michael's rude behavior, but she didn't hate him at all. With a little blush on her face, she turned around and led the way, saying, "In addition to King Aaron and Gandalf, the elf queen Galadriel and the white wizard Saruman are also here today..."

Needless to say, everyone who is qualified to attend the [Holy White Council] is a big shot.

"So, I am now a person of status in Middle-earth?" Mike chatted and laughed with the female elf who led the way while following her footsteps towards the crystal palace on the top of the mountain.

Other female elves met along the way also greeted Mike.

At first glance, Mike really seems to be a bit of a charmer.

"Humph~"

Just as Mike was greeting the female elves along the way one by one, a slight cold snort suddenly came to his ears.

Looking up, in the morning light, a beautiful female elf in a blue gauze dress was looking at this side with a frown.

Behind her, there were two female elves who acted like guards.

"That's Arwen, the daughter of King Aron, and the princess of our elves. Most of the time, she lives in the Golden Forest, and is taken care of by her grandmother, Queen Galadriel..." The female elf beside Mike introduced the identity of the elven princess to him attentively, and revealed: "She also came to Rivendell this morning with Queen Galadriel."

Arwen has a pair of sapphire eyes and her figure is not worse than that of the half-elf Sophia. It has to be said that she is worthy of being the princess of the elves.

The other person's beauty was enough to make Mike ignore her previous rudeness, and he nodded and greeted her.

"Hmph~" But the elf princess seemed to have a bad temper. After seeing Mike's smile, she actually turned her head away.

"What's wrong with your princess? Has she ever raised pigs?" Mike certainly wouldn't curry favor with someone who doesn't like him, even if she's very beautiful.

His sudden witty remark also caused the female elf beside him to burst out laughing.

Then, the female elf realized that her behavior was very rude, so she quickly led Mike to the top of the mountain, and did not forget to quietly defend the elf princess: "Princess Alwen is a little cold and aloof, perhaps she is not used to the lively scene in the square just now."

"Why do I feel that she is not aloof, but has something against me." Mike shook his head and stopped asking about the elf princess.

However, Mike's sixth sense was not wrong, Princess Alwen did have something against him.

This elven princess had heard that a brave human warrior had come to Rivendell, so she traveled here overnight to follow her grandmother.

As a result, the meeting was not as good as the reputation.

Although this hero has a handsome appearance, his behavior is very flamboyant and his personality is frivolous, which is far from the image of a "hero" that Alvin imagined.

Of course, no matter what the elf princess thought, Mike had no time to care because he had already arrived at the crystal palace on the top of the mountain.

[Elf Body (Characteristics)] x2... [Magic Power Source (Characteristics)] x3... [Elf Magic (Experience)] x2... [White Magic (Experience)]...

[Water Ring*Energy +500w]... [Natural*Energy +1500w]... [White Magic*Energy +900w]...

As soon as he entered the palace, Mike continuously collected a large number of attribute light balls.

The harvest this time can be said to be the greatest harvest since coming to Middle-earth.

More than what was harvested from Gandalf and King Airon alone.

"Humph~"

Just as Mike was counting his harvest, he heard a slight cold snort in his ears again.

But this time the person who spoke was not a beautiful woman, but an old man with a white beard and wearing a white wizard robe.

It seemed that Mike's late arrival made him unhappy.

"Throat discomfort is a disease and needs treatment as soon as possible." Facing the old man with a gloomy face, Mike carried forward his tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

"I don't know what you mean~" The white-robed wizard obviously didn't accept Mike's concern.

He put on airs, and gathered a strong aura to press towards Mike, as if he wanted to embarrass the young human in front of him.

Different from the gentle temperament of other wizards, Saruman's white magic carries a hint of sharpness.

It’s just a pity that this powerful white-robed wizard picked the wrong person this time.

Across from him, two balls of holy white flames instantly appeared in Mike's eyes, and his glare almost made the white-robed wizard fall off the bench.

"You..." Saruman was caught off guard and made a fool of himself. Anger showed clearly on his face, and he seemed to want to continue arguing with Michael.

"Okay, Saruman. There are no enemies here..." At this moment, Queen Galadriel, who was standing at the window with Gandalf, turned around and stopped the white-robed wizard from doing anything. Then, she smiled and said to Mike, "Welcome, human hero. Your abilities seem to be stronger than we thought."

"Thank you, you are more charming than I thought, Your Majesty the Elf Queen." Mike greeted the Elf Queen with a smile.

Although she is not the most beautiful one among the female elves, she is indeed the one with the most temperament.

After Mike demonstrated his abilities and the Elf Queen spoke, the tense atmosphere in the palace immediately disappeared.

Obviously, everyone recognized Mike's strength and also gave face to the Elf Queen.

"The descendant of Durin's dwarf has left with his companions. Now it's time for us to talk about some serious business." After everything was ready, Queen Galadriel signaled to her son-in-law, King Aaron, that the meeting could begin.

The departure of the dwarves means they have voluntarily given up participating in this council, so if you count it this way, all the people are now present.

"Hmm~" As the host here, King Ailon cleared his throat and said, "I believe everyone knows about the resurgence of the dark forces in Middle-earth, so I won't go into details."

"This council is called today because Gandalf has made a new discovery."

At this point, King Aaron stepped aside and motioned for Gandalf to come on stage and talk about the [Cursed Sword] and the Dark Lord Sauron.

"This [Cursed Sword] was obtained by the brown-robed wizard Radagast and Mr. Michael from Rhudaul High Tomb. As one of the parties involved, Mr. Michael may be able to share with us the situation at that time." Gandalf took out the leather-wrapped black sword and placed it on the stone table, then motioned Mike to go to his side.

"This, this ominous sword... is the sword of the Witch-king of Angmar. I will not make a mistake. How did it appear here?..."

After seeing the black sword, everyone present became solemn, and Saruman even stood up excitedly.

"Calm down, Saruman~" Galadriel was the first to come back to her senses. After calming down the excited white-robed wizard, she turned to Michael again and said, "Human warrior, can you explain to me the origin of this cursed sword? It is very important to us."

"Of course~" Mike walked to the stone table and said, "About a month ago, I went to the Rudol Wasteland Tomb with Radagast who lived in Rossgobel to track down the dark forces."

"There we met the Witch-king of Angmar, the Ringwraith, and we got this cursed sword from him."

"Then, we also saw the shadow of the Demon Lord Sauron."

The matter is not complicated and can be easily explained. What is important is the message revealed in this series of events.

The successive appearances of the Ringwraiths and the Lord of Darkness are not a good sign.

"How is this possible? The Dark Lord died more than a thousand years ago. And if you really met the Dark Lord, how did you and that waste, the brown-robed wizard, survive?" Saruman asked harshly.

It can be seen that the white-robed wizard has lost his mind after hearing the news of the resurrection of the Dark Lord Sauron. At the same time, it can also be seen that he has a deep prejudice against Radagast, who spends his days with small animals.

"Radigast would not lie about such things. According to him, the Dark Lord Sauron who appeared at that time was not very strong and was directly repelled by Mr. Michael." Gandalf clarified on behalf of his good friend the brown-robed wizard.

"The Dark Lord Sauron was resurrected and was defeated by a human? What a ridiculous joke~" While speaking, Saruman glanced at Mike, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.

As the most powerful white-robed wizard in Middle-earth, Saruman only believes in himself.

"Again and again, can I take it that you are provoking me?" Even a clay man would get angry if he was repeatedly targeted, let alone Mike.

He then flashed in front of Saruman, with the flaming holy sword in his hand pointing directly at the other's nose.

The powerful force of fire made the few strands of white hair on the white-robed wizard's forehead curl up.

"Calm down, Michael. This is just Saruman's character and he didn't mean to offend you." Galadriel was startled by Michael's sudden outburst of power, and then she spoke up to explain for the white-robed wizard.

"Queen Galadriel is right, Saruman did not mean to offend. And now the dark forces are watching covetously, we should not fight among ourselves at this time." Gandalf also began to persuade Mike.

At the same time, everyone present reached a consensus that they had previously underestimated the power of the humans before them.

You have to know that the power Mike just burst out is no less than anyone present.

"Okay, I'll give Gandalf and the Elf Queen a favor and let you go this time." Michael put away the flaming holy sword, stared at Saruman and warned: "Next time you speak, remember to think before you speak."

The white-robed wizard Saruman, although the most powerful wizard in Middle-earth, but because of his personality, he does not have a very close relationship with other powerful people present.

This also led to Michael suddenly attacking him. The other people present just offered to mediate, but no one really helped Saruman.

"I still have reservations..." Saruman said with a dark look in his eyes, "Of course, I will personally investigate the resurrection of the Ringwraiths and the Dark Lord Sauron later."

Although the white-robed wizard did not think that the human in front of him was stronger than himself, he did not deliberately cause trouble.

After all, his mission is to protect the peace of Middle-earth.

Next, with the shadow of the [Cursed Sword] looming, everyone shared some news about Middle-earth with each other, and this [White Council] came to an end.

"Mistlandi, thank you for your hard work during this period." After everyone left, Queen Galadriel accompanied Gandalf to the window again and said softly: "It is not easy to help the stubborn dwarves of Durin to take back the Lonely Mountain, but I want to tell you: no matter where you are, as long as you need me, I will appear by your side and fight alongside you~"

Gandalf is a very responsible Maia who has been working hard for the peace of Middle-earth, but he also feels confused.

For example, he helped the dwarves so much along the way, but when the dwarves left today, no one came to inform him.

A little further ahead in time, Gandalf was standing exactly where he is now, watching the dwarves sneak away.

It was at that moment that he realized that the dwarves had other plans for today.

"Thank you~" Gandalf thanked the Elf Queen tiredly.

Thank the other party for giving him a harbor where his soul can rest.

As for the dwarves' self-righteousness, Gandalf decided to leave them alone for a few days. As for the wizard himself, he could also take this time to recuperate in Rivendell.

As for Mike, when he walked out of the Crystal Palace and passed by the Elf Hall, he saw a familiar figure.

After all, there was only one person in the hall, so it was hard not to notice him.

"What's so good about a few broken sword fragments?" Mike walked to the side of the Elf Princess and looked at the fragments of the King's Sword displayed in the hall together.

"What do you know~" Arwen looked at the human beside him with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes, and explained: "This is the sword of Isildur, the former king of mankind. It once followed the king of mankind to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron."

Sure enough, worshiping "heroes" is the nature of female elves.

Speaking of the achievements of Isildur, the king of mankind more than a thousand years ago, the expression on Arwen's face became serious.

"Sword of the King? It's quite famous, but it's just a pile of junk now." Mike shook his head speechlessly.

This broken sword of the king is at most as good as the three ancient elven swords. The reason why it is so famous is largely because of the meaning it represents.

To be more precise, this sword of kings does not live up to its name, or is flashy but not practical.

"Why are you so annoying~" Seeing Mike's disgusted expression, Princess Alwen said impatiently: "Don't bother me here, go find the female elves who are willing to accompany you."

"Oh, that's exactly what I meant. Bye~" Mike waved his hand indifferently, then walked towards Rivendell Square where the female elves gathered.

He had already decided to stay in Rivendell for two more days to see if he could pick up some elven girls.

After all, female elves are really fragrant.

The elf princess at the back gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw Mike leaving in a nonchalant manner.

She didn't know what happened to her. She knew that Michael would pass by the hall after the meeting with her father (King Aaron) and grandmother (Galandriel), but she ended up here somehow.

As a result, the imagined "chance encounter" did not happen, and instead I was left very angry.
