legend begins with lord of the rings

Abel looked at the green life crystal in his hand and could feel the powerful vitality contained in it.

Although this thing was useless to him, it was a priceless treasure to ordinary humans. Abel accepted the item and decided to find a suitable time to give it to Heili.

On the other side, Fili's conversation with Thranduil was not pleasant.

Knowing that Fili was going to leave with the dwarves of the Iron Hills in the north, Thranduil realized that if all the dwarves left, the north of the Greenland Forest would lose a natural barrier.

Without the obstruction of the dwarves, the large number of orcs wandering in the north can directly cross the northern plains and reach the green forest.

Out of this consideration, Thranduil took the opportunity to ask Fili for a large amount of tolls, hoping to allow the dwarves to continue to stay in the Lonely Mountain.

On Fili's side, if he wanted to return to Blue Mountain from Gushan, he had to pass through the Greenland Forest. In desperation, Fili could only agree to pay a part of the gold coins as "tolls."

Seeing that the dwarves insisted on leaving, Thranduil had no choice but to find Abel. He proposed to help adventurers build two adventurer homes in the Iron Hills and the Lonely Mountain at his own expense.

Abel thought for a while and found that it would not be harmful to him to build two more adventurer homes in the north. It would also attract the nomads and rangers from the north to join the team of adventurers. So he readily accepted the elf king's proposal.

As for the specific matters of establishing an adventurer's home, the two parties still need to negotiate slowly.

On Fili's side, after receiving the news that Thranduil agreed to allow the dwarves to pass through the Greenland Forest, he did not immediately leave with the dwarves. He decided to keep a vigil for Thorin for a month.

After agreeing to meet Feili in a month, Abel and his people prepared to leave Lonely Mountain.

When everyone arrived at the gate of Gushan, they saw a female elf covered in black armor standing here, seemingly waiting for someone.

Abel keenly felt that under the black hood, the female elf's eyes were fixed on him.

When Gandalf saw the female elf arriving, he quickly stepped forward and introduced to Abel: "This is Lady Galadriel's guard captain Alta."

Then, he introduced the female elf: "This is the adventurer Abel. He is exactly the person Queen Galadriel asked you to find."

After the wizard's introduction, Alta walked up to Abel, looked him up and down, and asked in a cold tone: "Are you the dragon slayer Abel?"

Hearing the doubt in the female elf's tone, Abel knew that Galadriel's gift was not that easy to get. He also looked up and down at the female elf in front of him.

The opponent was nearly 1.9 meters tall and wore a black armor with a hood, covering himself so tightly that his face could not be seen clearly.

The two black elf daggers crisscrossed on the back gave the opponent a dangerous aura.

"If there is no second dragon slayer also named Abel, then I will be the Abel you call me." Abel replied in a cold tone, without giving the other party a good look.

"Queen Galadriel asked me to entrust you to destroy the Nine Rings. If the task is completed, the queen will give you a gift no less than the life crystal." Alta was not affected by Abel's attitude and said in a calm tone.

.

What kind of gift is it? It's just a deposit and a commission. It's so implicit.

Abel thought for a while, and with his current strength, he was still unable to destroy the immortal Nine Ring Spirits. What's more, the Nine Ring Spirits should be in Modo now, which is Sauron's base camp.

For a "gift" that he couldn't use and didn't know what it was, Abel felt that it wasn't worth the risk of going to Modo.

After considering the pros and cons, Abel decisively took out the life crystal and handed it to the female elf, saying: "I'm sorry that I can't complete this commission now. Please take back your things."

Hearing Abel's refusal, Alta looked at the life crystal in the other person's hand and did not pick it up, but said: "The queen has no intention of letting you destroy the Nine Ringwraiths now. This crystal represents the Noldor elves.

friendship."

Hearing what the female elf said, Abel put the crystal back into his pocket.

In Abel's plan, the adventurer will face Sauron sooner or later. When he is strong enough, it will only take a matter of minutes to defeat the Nine Ringwraiths.

"Since there is no time limit, I will accept this commission. You can go back and resume your life with Queen Galadriel," Abel said.

"The order I received is to assist you in destroying the Nine Ring Spirits. I will follow you until you destroy them." Alta's tone was still cold, and no change in emotion could be heard.

"Is that so..." Abel whispered as he stared at the female elf.

He suddenly realized that Galadriel sending Eltar might be an early investment just like Thranduil sent Legolas to contact Aragorn.

It seems that the Elf Queen is also very optimistic about the adventurer's potential.

While thinking about it, Abel suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soft flesh of his waist. When he turned his head, he happened to meet Tariel's angry eyes.

Only then did Abel realize that when he was lost in thought, his eyes happened to be on Alta.

This move may have made Tariel a little jealous. Abel quickly took Tariel's hand and comforted him for a few words. Then, he led the group back to the Adventurer's House.

To Abel's surprise, the wizard also followed.

After knowing that Abel was going to send someone to inquire about the situation in Dol Gudu, Gandalf and Altar followed him to the meeting hall.

"Before you come, the queen asked me to tell you that the opportunity to eliminate the Nine Ring Spirits is in Dolgudu or Rudol Gaoling." Elta was sitting next to a pillar in the meeting hall, and her whole body seemed to be hidden in the shadows.

.

"I have also been entrusted by Lady Galadriel to go to Dol Guldur." Gandalf also expressed his intention to come to the Adventurer's Home.

It seems that the wizard must have heard some rumors before.

"I heard from Thranduil that there is an evil being in Dol Gudu who has lived from ancient times to the present. I wonder how much you know about it?" Abel asked.

He guessed that these two people were going to Dolgu Capital and must have some inside information.

Just as Abel thought, these two people did know some news about Dolgudu.

Gandalf saw that the female elf had no intention of explaining, so he said: "I do know some news. The name of the ancient being there is Shelob.

She was the last child of Ungoliant, from whom the giant spiders of Middle-earth are descended."

"How strong is she?" Abel told the wizard that he knew a lot, so he continued to ask.

"I don't know that. I only know that her body is a terrifying giant spider. Many people who saw her were frightened to death on the spot." Gandalf said.
