Chapter 57: White Society

Let’s go back to the night two weeks later.

At this moment, the dwarves were having a bonfire party, eating all kinds of grilled meat and grilled vegetables brought from Levi's territory, and they were having a lot of fun.

It is actually quite rare to have such a small lively place in this deserted valley, which adds a touch of fireworks to the valley.

Here in the guest room arranged by the elves, Levi was just about to lie down to take a nap when old Gandalf pulled him out for a walk.

Li Wei had not gone to bed yet, and they were walking in the courtyard together.

Of course, wizards don't visit without a purpose.

Soon, Elrond joined in and walked in circles with the two of them.

As they walked, Elrond brought up the matter of the dragon and blamed Gandalf for hiding something from him.

"In fact, I called you out today to talk about this. You have to believe me. I know what I am doing."

Gandalf explained rapidly.

But it was obvious that Elrond and he had some different opinions on this matter.

Although both of them can vaguely sense some possibilities in the future, it is not certain whether they are the same possibilities. The possibilities in the future are always good or bad.

"Do you really know? The evil dragon has been sleeping for sixty years. What if your plan fails? What if the dragon is awakened?"

"What if it succeeds? If the dwarves can retake the Lonely Mountain..."

Gandalf once again expressed his strategic concerns about Lonely Mountain and explained the benefits of helping the dwarves retake Lonely Mountain.

"This is a dangerous move, Gandalf."

"It is just as dangerous to sit back and wait for death," Gandalf retorted.

"And we have a backup plan. When the most critical moment comes, Levi and I will find a way."

Gandalf suddenly stopped and looked at Levi with Elrond.

"He's right." Levi chose to obey and not argue with the old man.

But we still have to keep up the good work.

"I have no opinion."

"Levi... is indeed very strong. I can feel that even in the prosperous period of the First Era, he would be a powerful warrior. But facing that evil dragon, no one can be 100% sure."

Elrond shook his head. The elves had been weak for too long. If an accident really happened and a dragon flew out, they could be dealt with, but they would have to pay a heavy price. This would make the already declining elves' situation even worse, and even lead to collapse.

"Oh, come on. It is Thorin's right to inherit Erebor. What are you afraid of?"

Elrond still disagreed:

"Have you forgotten? There is madness hidden in their blood. Once they see the treasure in the Lonely Mountain, that madness will be lured out."

"His grandfather was struck down by madness, as was his father. Can you guarantee that Thorin Oakenshield will not follow in their footsteps?"

"Gandalf, the decision you make will not only affect us, the structure of Middle-earth is not something you and I can decide."

Hearing this, Gandalf shook his head and cut off the topic directly, saying: "Anyway, no matter what happens to us, the dwarves will go to Lonely Mountain. They have made up their minds, and no one can stop them."

"And Thorin doesn't think he's responsible to anyone, and neither do I."

Elrond said somewhat helplessly: "You should respond to someone else, not me."

The three of them suddenly stopped in front of a staircase.

On the high platform, an elf emitting a soft glow turned around and looked down.

Levi's eyes met hers for a moment, and he was a little dazed for a moment.

Beautiful, dignified and elegant.

These words are really appropriate for this lady.

This is none other than the Lady of the Golden Forest, one of the most powerful elves in Middle-earth.

"Lady Galadriel."

"Mithrandir."

Gandalf bowed solemnly and said, "Time may have changed me, but it has not changed the Lady of Lórien."

"I didn't even know Lord Elrond had sent for you."

Gandalf smiled and looked at Elrond, as if to ask why you didn't tell me this earlier.

"He didn't." Suddenly, a harsh voice came from behind.

"It was I who invited the lady."

When he heard the voice, the smile on Gandalf's face immediately shrank back. He took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed slightly reluctantly.

"Saruman."

"You've been very busy lately, Gandalf." Saruman stared at him for a while, then looked away and glanced at Levi.

"Why is there an ordinary person here?"

"It's getting late. If it's not necessary, let him go back and rest. Our meeting is not open to ordinary people."

The plan is to drive Levi away first and then talk about the matter.

"No, no, no, Levi is not a mortal."

Gandalf immediately retorted: "A considerable part of our plan may depend on Levi to proceed smoothly."

"His power is far beyond your and my imagination, and can even overturn many situations."

"Really? That's not necessarily true."

Of course, when he first met Levi, Saruman had a vague feeling that this human was indeed extraordinary.

But he still chose to argue with Gandalf - if for no other reason, just to give Gandalf more words. "This is the enemy of the Orcs in the Misty Mountains, Levi."

At the critical moment, it was Elrond who stood up and spoke for Levi.

[Enemy of Orcs]

The advancement of the title "Occ-Slayer". As early as when the Orcs in the Misty Mountains were killed by Levi and began to shrink their defenses, this title replaced the Orc-Slayer and has been lying in the title library ever since.

It can be said that anyone present could know what Levi did if they wanted to see.

I have already said it, and it would be wrong to continue to be stubborn at this time.

"Well, then I will allow him to sit down." Saruman agreed reluctantly.

Lady Galadriel also nodded slightly at Levi and smiled as she invited him to join.

Levi imitated Gandalf and saluted him.

The little episode is over.

The Lady of the Golden Forest, the Lord of Rivendell, the White Wizard of Isengard, the Grey Wizard wandering Middle-earth, and Levi.

The five people thus held an impromptu meeting.

"The dragon belongs to neither side, but if it were to side with the enemy, it would be a terrible disaster for Middle-earth."

"The Great Enemy? What Great Enemy?" Saruman immediately retorted, "The Great Enemy has long been defeated, and the ring has been washed into the sea. Your worries are totally unfounded."

Levi, who was standing aside and leaning against a stone pillar, glanced at Saruman with a smile, but after thinking about it, he said nothing.

At this time, Saruman was simply arrogant, jealous, and looked down on Gandalf. At this time, he was still on the side of the free people and could be considered an ally.

"Gandalf, our four hundred years of peace have been hard-won. There is no need to take any more risks." Elrond, who always sought stability, now agreed with Saruman's opinion.

"Peace? Really peace? The trolls have all come down from the mountains and are raiding the farmers and pastures. Orcs are attacking us on the roads. Just ask Levi how many orcs he kills on a long journey, and you'll see how chaotic it is."

"But this is hardly a sign of impending war," Elrond commented.

Saruman quickly followed suit and said, "You always like to make trouble."

"No, it's not just Smaug, there is something more evil affecting the situation in Middle-earth. We can ignore him, but he will not ignore us..."

Gandalf expressed his concerns.

As he spoke, Levi discovered that Lady Galadriel and Elrond had stood beside him at some point, behind Gandalf.

This means that they, like himself, actually support Gandalf's statement.

There was a table with four people sitting on the left, and only Saruman sat alone on the right.

Saruman's face froze when he saw that everyone except him ran to support Gandalf.

"There is a necromancer entrenched in Dol Guldur who has the power to raise the dead..."

Gandalf told the Brown Robe what he had seen and heard, and persuaded everyone to attack Dol Guldur.

"This necromancer is at most just an ordinary person who has learned some black magic. There is nothing to worry about..."

Saruman still expressed his objection and kept talking. After listening for a while, Gandalf suddenly stopped responding and seemed to be in a daze.

"Are you listening to me? He looks like I'm talking to myself..."

Of course he's not listening to you.

Levi changed his position and leaned against the stone pillar more comfortably.

The holders of the three elven rings can communicate through telepathy. Lady Galadriel must have discovered the sword of Morgul on Gandalf and was confirming it with Gandalf.

as predicted.

After a while Gandalf took out the sword and laid it on the stone table.

This kind of sword is standard equipment for the Ringwraiths.

[Sword of Morgul] Attack +7.

Special Effects: Withering.

Anyone wounded by Morgul's sword will be slowly dragged into darkness, and their life will gradually wither away. This wound cannot be healed by ordinary means, and can only be alleviated by magic or some secret treatments.

This thing is a special attack against free people, and is not very useful against dark creatures.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, it's just a coincidence."

Even with irrefutable evidence before his eyes, Saruman maintained his conservative style.

“Let’s take a look…”

He began his long speech again.

However, little did he know that when he said these words, the dwarves had already packed up and left. It was obvious that Gandalf did this on purpose. He was delaying Saruman here so that the dwarves would have time to set off and at the same time force him to make a choice.

Sure enough, after a while, Lindir came over to report the news: "Lord Elrond, the dwarves have left."

As he spoke, the guy could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

Thanks to Vera, they were gone.

As the dwarves left, the meeting ended.

The final conclusion is: help the dwarves, attack Dol Guldur, and gain intelligence.

However, when everything was settled and everyone was about to leave, Lady Galadriel suddenly called Levi and slowly walked towards him.

  ------

  Recently I found that many readers were attracted by MC, and they don’t know much about Middle-earth, nor are they clear about the settings and plots of Middle-earth. When the content deviates from MC and starts to write Middle-earth adventures, these friends may feel a little confused. Therefore, the recent chapters have added a little more description of the plot details, and I will add more chapters every time I write the details (today’s word count is also 5k+). In the future, I will try to be more concise and easy to understand, and write more about the main line.

  And finally, I strongly recommend watching the "Lord of the Rings" series and the "Hobbit" series. They are very exciting and in no way inferior to any other novel. I have read them seven or eight times and still want to read them again.
