Chapter 243

Looking at the handsome Elf King below, Wayne met his gaze for a few seconds, seeing his eyes peaceful and without any hostility.

Wayne considered for a moment, then controlled the magic flying carpet and slowly descended to the ground.

He waved his hand at the Deathclaw. This giant beast with a terrifying appearance immediately ran to the rear like a puppy that got its master's order, snorted, and looked submissive.

Long-term getting along let it know that its master doesn't like its dirty appearance full of blood now and must go to find a water source to clean its body.

After Robin left, Wayne looked at the silver-armored knights and the Elf King who were obviously relaxed, saluted slightly, and said: "King Elrond, I am a human adventurer, Wayne. When I passed by here with my companions, I encountered an attack by orcs."

"I defeated them. My companions are not far away. Among them, there is a person you should know. He is the wizard Gandalf. We are discussing whether to go to Rivendell and seek your help."

Hearing Wayne mention Gandalf's name, Elf King Elrond's expression relaxed slightly. He made a gesture to the silver-armored knights behind him, let them put down their guard, and said very politely to Wayne:

"This is the range of Rivendell, human adventurer, may I ask where Gandalf is now?"

Wayne pointed to the direction he just flew over and replied: "They should be here soon, Your Majesty. Also accompanying are the dwarf prince Thorin and the brown wizard Radagast."

Wayne's temperament is very calm, his background is also very mysterious, and the power of the Deathclaw is really too fierce, which really makes people unable to figure out the depth.

Elrond's eyes flashed slightly after hearing those names, but he didn't say anything more, but continued to look at Wayne with his eyes, and the two sides fell into a brief silence.

And Wayne was not embarrassed at all, and openly looked at the elf silver-armored knights behind Elrond.

As the favorites of the Creator God, the elves in Middle-earth are all tall and handsome, with excellent appearance and temperament, and the knights behind Elrond not only possess the natural beauty of the elves, but also added a bit of the toughness unique to warriors, looking quite pleasing to the eye.

What makes Wayne most interested is that there are actually several female elf knights among them, with beautiful appearance and heroic temperament, making the heart of this old lecher rise a thought of tasting it.

Unfortunately, most of the elves in this world are very loyal to love. It is estimated that the relationship between lovers and fuck-buddies is difficult to work here. The idea of eating fast food will be spurned by many people.

Just when Wayne was having some wild thoughts, the figures of Gandalf and Thorin also appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing the silver-armored knights on Wayne's side, Gandalf and the brown wizard Radagast did not hesitate at all, but accelerated their pace and walked towards there.

And Thorin and a group of dwarves were obviously a few steps slower, and their expressions and actions were full of hesitation and reluctance. Obviously, they also found that the people here were elves and didn't want to deal with elves.

However, under Gandalf's urging, the two sides soon merged together.

Not to mention the slightly awkward meeting, with Gandalf, a wizard famous in Middle-earth, as a guarantor, Wayne and his party soon gained Elrond's trust, were led by this Elf King, entered Rivendell, and came to Rivendell.

This is Wayne's first time coming to this beautiful valley known as a paradise, and it is also his first time knowing that there is such a beautiful place in the world that makes people feel comfortable.

The architectural style of Rivendell is not that kind of gorgeous splendor, but an artistic sense full of the pastoral idyll unique to elves, which not only complements the beautiful environment around it, but also reveals the ingenuity of the elf clan from every detail, making people feel very comfortable.

Wayne ignored the very awkward conversation and temptation between elves and dwarves, first arranged a remote corner for Robin, whose deterrent power was amazing, and let it stay there.

Then he himself, under the guidance of a beautiful female elf, while visiting the surrounding scenery, while trying to strike up a conversation with the beautiful female elf, after a polite conversation, was brought to the residence arranged for them by the Elf King.

However, after resting for a while, the beautiful female elf came to inform him that the Elf King's luncheon had begun, and everyone in the entire expedition team was invited to have lunch together.

And mentioning this luncheon made Wayne couldn't help but think of the rude and funny performance of the dwarves in the original movie.

It must be said that in Middle-earth, elves are the representatives of elegance and etiquette, while dwarves are the representatives of barbaric bravery and pettiness.

Perhaps such a description is not appropriate, but elves are more like upper-class figures in society, elegant and polite, with good self-cultivation. Even if they have hatred with you and don't look at you, they won't show it very obviously, and will still treat you properly, and then kill you without mercy.

Dwarves are more like good brothers at the bottom of the city. They will joke with you, play and make trouble with you, and everyone will carry it together when things happen, but they often mess things up, like to steal chickens and dogs, and can't get on the stage.

Although dwarves are not liked by other races because of their greedy personality, it must be said that if you can become friends with them, when you encounter difficulties, they will often not fear danger and lend a helping hand.

And this Elf King's luncheon, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the dishes served were all fruits and vegetables. Such food is not liked by dwarves, and they didn't look at the elf clan very pleasingly, so a good luncheon soon turned into a farce of dwarves singing and dancing, playing and making trouble, making the surrounding elves couldn't help but frown.

Fortunately, Elf King Elrond is a leader with amazing bearing. He didn't blame the dwarves because of the dwarves' rude behavior, and still treated them very politely, seemingly without any mustard in his heart.

Rivendell is worthy of being called the last home of all kind creatures in Middle-earth. As the lord here, Elrond is indeed admirable.

After the luncheon, Wayne didn't follow the dwarves to continue making trouble, but took the initiative to find Elf King Elrond who was talking to Gandalf and said his appeal.

"Is there anything, Mr. Wayne?"

After having Gandalf as a guarantor and seeing Wayne's strength, Elrond also showed his importance to Wayne. A person's strength often represents his status, and no leader will ignore a powerful adventurer like him.

Wayne didn't talk nonsense either. Since he obtained three high-level tasks from Thorin, he had tasted the sweetness and began to actively look for tasks. Taking the initiative to find the Elf King was also an attempt. "Elf King Your Majesty, I introduced before, I am a human adventurer, and what I like most is to help kind people deal with the problems they are most troubled by."

"You should have also discovered that my strength is very strong, and the thing I am best at is fighting. I don't know if Rivendell has enemies that need to be dealt with, such as orcs, or ferocious beasts, or which evil things."

"You can entrust such tasks to me. You only need to pay a reward that satisfies me, and I will help you clear away those enemies that make you feel troubled."

Hearing Wayne's straightforward speech, Gandalf and Elrond were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other. As the owners of the Fire Ring and Air Ring of the Three Elf Rings, the two immediately used the team voice of the Three Elf Rings to communicate.

Although the profession of adventurer does exist in Middle-earth, in fact, most of them are characters similar to mercenaries or ruffians, who are not on the stage, a group of people who are desperate for wealth and status to go to various ruins or the wild to adventure.

And Wayne in front of him is obviously not such a character, but whether it is Gandalf or Elrond, they are both curious and vigilant about Wayne's strength. After all, the two sides are not very familiar yet, and the degree of trust is not enough. They will not easily pull Wayne into their core and tell him secrets that cannot be easily shown.

However, facing Wayne's task entrustment request now, after the two discussed in secret for a while, Elf King Elrond coughed lightly, with a kind expression, and asked politely:

"Mr. Wayne, our Rivendell has always been quite peaceful. So far, there is no force hostile to us, and the beasts around have all been driven away by our knights."

"However, if you are willing to accept combat commissions, we do have a task that can be entrusted to you."

"But before that, I need to know, what is the reward you mentioned?"

"Is it gold?"

Wayne heard this, looked at Gandalf and Elrond, shook his head slightly, and said: "Elf King Your Majesty, although I also like gold very much, before this, I have already had a contract with Prince Thorin. As long as I help him complete the task of taking back the Lonely Mountain and killing Smaug, he will give me one-third of the Lonely Mountain treasure."

"I think, as long as this contract is completed, I will not lack gold anymore."

"So, I want to get some magical things or magic items from the elf clan."

"I am very interested in this kind of thing. If the price is appropriate, I am even willing to take out the precious items I collected from other places to exchange with you."

"For example, these three swords are treasures I found in past adventures. Everyone can appreciate them."

Speaking of this, Wayne waved his hand and took out three exquisite weapons from his space bracelet, which were exactly the three ancient elf swords he got from the troll cave.

Seeing these three swords, Elrond and Gandalf's eyes lit up slightly. They were both knowledgeable and very discerning, and they saw the extraordinary nature of these three swords at a glance.

And the means by which Wayne could take out items out of thin air also surprised the Elf King. This kind of space magic was almost unheard of in Middle-earth.

After obtaining Wayne's permission, the Elf King and Gandalf picked up an elf sword respectively and began to appreciate it carefully, either observing the inscriptions and elf language on the scabbard, or drawing the sword, letting the sharp cold blade be exposed to the air.

After a while, Elf King Elrond sighed slightly, inserted the sword flashing with sharp cold light back into the scabbard, and said with emotion: "These two swords are weapons forged by the elves of Gondolin in the First Age. They were once the swords of King Turgon of Gondolin, sharp and extremely strong, with powerful lethality against dark creatures. When orcs approach the holder, these two swords can also shine to warn."

"I remember their names, Glamdring and Orcrist, also known as Foe-hammer and Goblin-cleaver. They were both swords that once killed hundreds of orcs and made the orc clan hear the wind and lose their courage."

"Being able to see them again today is really a quite gratifying thing, Mr. Wayne."

"I will consider the matter of exchanging magic items you mentioned in detail and give you an answer after a period of time."

Elrond turned his head and looked at Gandalf who was falling into deep thought, then thought for a while and said:

"On the way to the Lonely Mountain, you should pass through the Misty Mountains, and there is an evil orc clan in the mountains."

They established an orc town in the mountains, always relying on the complex terrain of the Misty Mountains and various tunnels underground, harassing all creatures around, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil."

"If you are willing to defeat these Orcs for the creatures of Middle-earth, Mr. Wayne, our Rivendell is willing to pay a generous reward for this."

As Elf King Elrond's voice fell, Wayne's ears immediately heard the system's prompt sound.

Ding! Task triggered 【Defeat the Orc Clan in the Misty Mountains】, Master-level, do you accept it?

After hearing this task, Wayne did not recklessly choose to agree immediately, but carefully looked at the requirements of the task and found that it was not to kill all the orcs in the Misty Mountains, but to give this clan a heavy blow. Wayne had no hesitation and immediately chose to accept it.

Because in his impression, the Orc clan of the Misty Mountains is one of the main forces of the orc side participating in the Battle of the Five Armies. This task will be completed no matter what. The difference is only in the amount of effort.

Wayne laughed and nodded to Gandalf and Elrond, saying: "This commission is no problem. I have always hated these dirty orcs. As long as there is a chance, facing these evil monsters, I will definitely not show mercy and will do my best to inflict heavy damage on their vital forces."

"As for the reward for this task, let's discuss it slowly after I achieve results."

"Before that, I hope to read the books of the elf clan. Elf King Your Majesty, I am very interested in the long history of the elf clan and hope you can satisfy my request."
