The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 768 Why not let the executioner kill Li Ming?
In the valley west of the Misty Mountains and east of the Troll Forest is the famous Rivendell.

Halda and four elves were leading Li Ming, Akshan, and another strong man with a two-handed sword on his back to Rivendell.

The burly man's name is Adun, another subordinate of Li Ming with a yellow lantern ring. The lantern ring is enhanced for close combat, and he and Akshan are just the right distance apart, so they can cooperate with each other.

In this way, Li Ming was liberated again and basically didn't have to do anything himself.

After all, although the background setting of The Lord of the Rings is quite powerful, it is already the end of the Third Age. The elves in Middle-earth have declined, and humans have begun to become the protagonists of the world. It is already in a low-magic stage.

The Dharma Ending Age, Middle-earth Edition.

When they arrived at the gate of Rivendell, Elrond was already there with a group of elves to greet them.

Akshan and Adun immediately felt honored that their lord could actually make the legendary elves come out to greet them.

However, Li Ming pouted. Elrond was not here to greet him. There were looming figures in the dense forest around him.

He estimated that if he showed any ill intention, Elrond would immediately smash the cup as a signal, and 500 elven swordsmen would rush forward on the spot and capture these three villains to avenge Agent Smith's possession of his body.

Of course, it could also be revenge for the Red Skull being thrown off the cliff.

"Rivendell welcomes you, Lord Arthas."

After seeing Li Ming, Elrond, with a face of Agent Smith and a voice of Megatron, smiled and spoke.

But he was not very welcome in his heart.

I don’t know why, although it was the first time they met, but when Elrond saw Li Ming, his heart was filled with three parts of resentment, three parts of anger, and even one part of submission. Overall, the impression was not very good.

But he is the Lord of Rivendell, a steady high elf who has been bathed in the light of the twin sacred trees. He will not target Li Ming because of such a small matter.

"It is my honor that the Lord of Rivendell has come to greet me personally."

Li Ming also laughed, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards Elrond's forehead.

Then he stroked his thick black hair and muttered softly, "He's over 6,000 years old. No wonder."

Elrond, who had a slightly higher hairline, immediately felt offended and almost threw the cup as a signal to let 500 elven swordsmen and axemen rush forward.

"I am a steady high elf."

Elrond took a deep breath, said in his heart, then took Li Ming and the other two into Rivendell.

Li Ming did not have the demeanor of a lord at all. He looked around everywhere and criticized Rivendell in his heart.

In Middle-earth, Rivendell is considered a top-notch Feng Shui location, but it is said that when Rivendell was first founded, it was because Elrond felt that the location was hidden and easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he settled here.

"This place is low-lying, and the city wall is only slightly higher than the vegetable garden of Lord Shabad. How can it deserve the reputation of being easy to defend and difficult to attack?" Li Ming complained unconsciously.

Friends who often fought in wars all knew that Zhuge Liang was ecstatic when he saw that his hometown was located in a valley.

No matter whether it was a fire attack or a water attack, the people in the valley could only passively take the beating.

So Li Ming glanced at Elrond several times.

"This elf has lived for more than 6,000 years in vain. Will he be able to fight?"

Although he didn't know what Li Ming was thinking, Elrond, who heard his previous complaints, seemed to understand his thoughts.

Elrond clenched his palms empty, it was a pity that there was no cup in his hand.

"I am a magical elf, and I also have the Wind Ring, Via. I said this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

Elrond roared inwardly.

But he couldn't take the initiative to explain. After all, he was the lord of Rivendell, a steady high elf. How could he argue with a human who was only a few dozen years old?
They walked all the way to the reception room. Elrond could not wait to have the drinks served, then raised his glass with satisfaction, and the whole person suddenly felt full of confidence.

"Did Lord Arthas stop his campaigns after he conquered Bree?" he asked.

"No." Li Ming tasted the elf's wine and found it tasted good. He could sell it for 500 points in the reincarnation space. He replied casually: "I also plan to recover the homeland of the Kingdom of Arnor and bring all the humans in the Eriador region under protection."

Elrond's eyes darkened. "Recovering the land of Arnor should be done by the descendants of the royal family of Arnor, right?"

Although it is said that elves do not interfere in human affairs, Elrond's future son-in-law, Aragorn, is the legal heir to Arnor and Gondor, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions.

"The Arno royal family? Does it still exist now?" Li Ming pretended to be surprised.

Elrond was about to reveal Aragorn's identity when he heard Li Ming ask, "How many troops does he have?"

"..."

Elrond was silent. There was no point in talking like this.

But based on his understanding of Middle-earth, shouldn't Li Ming bow down to the Arnor royal family as it exists?

"It's just as Gandalf said. This man is too extreme. If he becomes a Ringwraith, he will definitely be a disaster like the Witch-king of Angmar." Elrond thought.

The Witch-king of Angmar is the leader of the nine Ringwraiths under Sauron.

"Should we just...let the elven swordsmen and axemen come out together to reduce the threat to Middle-earth?" This thought popped up in Elrond's mind again.

It took him a while to suppress this thought. He was wondering why he was so irritable today.

Then Elrond stopped dwelling on the issue, Aragorn himself hadn't made up his mind to become king yet, and he didn't bother to worry about his future son-in-law.

"So where does Lord Arthas plan to attack next?" Elrond asked.

"Hmm..." Li Ming pondered for a while, "Next I plan to build a country. As for the capital... I think Eregion is a good place."

"Eregion?"

Elrond raised the wine glass in his hand and almost threw it out to summon the swordsmen.

Eregion is a place close to the Misty Mountains, and it is of great significance to the elves and even the entire Middle-earth.

Because Eregion was once the largest gathering place of the Noldor elves to which Elrond belonged in Middle-earth, and the famous 19 rings were also forged here.

Later, Eregion was destroyed by the invasion of Sauron, and most of the rings were taken away, so it was abandoned.

Now Li Ming said that he wanted to establish a country in Eregion, which seemed a bit provocative to Elrond.

Eregion was closest to his Rivendell. If he allowed humans to establish a kingdom there and wreak havoc, Elrond would lose face in front of the other elves from then on.

He is one of the few high elves left in Middle-earth.

But Li Ming is now the largest human force west of the Misty Mountains. Unless the elves go to war with him, they will not be able to stop him.

"How about we let the elven swordsmen come forward and hack Arthas to death?"

Elrond no longer cared about being a steady high elf. Under the mysterious guidance and Li Ming's constant humiliation, the nameless fire in his heart almost broke through his reason.

Suddenly Li Ming changed the subject: "But I don't have to go to Eregion. I just want to find something."

"What?" Elrond asked, suppressing his anger.

"If I could find the way the Elves forged the Ring, I wouldn't have to go to Eregion and turn the ruins upside down."

"How to forge the ring?"

When Elrond heard this, it was as if a hole had been poked in a balloon, and his anger disappeared in an instant.

He looked at Li Ming warily: "So this is your purpose."
