Chapter 57: Baidaohui

Let’s talk about the night two weeks later.

At this moment, the dwarves are having a bonfire party, eating all kinds of barbecue and grilled vegetables brought from Levi’s territory, making a mess.

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.

In the guest room arranged by the elves, Levi was about to lie down and take a nap when he was pulled up by old Gandalf to go out for a walk.

Levi was not asleep either, and they walked in the courtyard together.

Of course, the wizard would not visit without a purpose.

Soon, Elrond also joined in and walked around with the two.

As they walked, Elrond mentioned the dragon and blamed Gandalf for hiding it from him.

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

Gandalf explained quickly.

But it is obvious that Elrond and he have some different opinions on this matter.

Although both of them could vaguely sense some possibilities in the future, it was not certain that they were the same possibilities. The possibilities in the future were always good and bad.

"Do you really know? The 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 take back the Lonely Mountain..."

Gandalf once again expressed his concerns about the strategy of the Lonely Mountain, explaining the benefits of helping the dwarves take back the Lonely Mountain.

"This move is very dangerous, Gandalf."

"It's just as dangerous to sit and wait for death." Gandalf retorted.

"And we have a guarantee. 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 the scene that should be supported still needs to be supported.

"I have no objection."

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

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

"Oh, come on, it's 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, the madness will be lured out."

"His grandfather was defeated by madness, and so 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, but the pattern 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 the Lonely Mountain. They have made up their minds and no one can stop them."

"And Thorin doesn't think he should be responsible to anyone, and I am the same."

Elrond said a little helplessly: "You should respond to someone else instead of me."

The three suddenly stopped in front of a staircase.

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

Levi and her eyes met for a moment, and he was a little dazed for a moment.

Beautiful, dignified, and elegant.

These words are really suitable for this lady.

This is the wife of the lord 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 can't change the lady of Lorien."

"I didn't even know that Lord Elrond invited you."

Gandalf smiled and glanced at Elrond, as if to say why didn't you tell me about this earlier.

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

"It was me who invited the lady."

Upon hearing this voice, the smile on Gandalf's face immediately shrank back, took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed slightly reluctantly.

"Saruman."

"You've been busy recently, 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 for ordinary people to listen in."

This is to drive Levi away first and then talk about things.

"No, no, Levi is not an ordinary person."

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

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

"Really? That's not necessarily true."

Of course, when Saruman first met Levi, he had a vague premonition in his heart that this human was indeed extraordinary.

But he still chose to argue with Gandalf-for no other reason, just to say a few more words to Gandalf.

"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 the Orcs]

The advancement of the title "Occasion Killer", as early as when the Oaks in the Misty Mountains were killed by Levi and began to shrink their defenses, this title replaced the Orc Killer and has been lying in the title library.

It can be said that several people present knew what Levi did as long as they wanted to see it.

The words have already shown that it would be wrong to be stubborn at this time.

"Okay, then I will allow him to take the seat." Saruman agreed reluctantly.

Mrs. Galadriel also nodded slightly at Levi, smiling and inviting him to join her.

Levi imitated Gandalf and greeted him.

The little episode passed.

The lady of the golden forest, the lord of Rivendell, the white-robed wizard of Isengard, the gray-robed wizard traveling in Middle-earth, and Levi.

In this way, the five people held an impromptu Baidao meeting.

"The dragon does not belong to any party, but if it falls to the enemy, it will be a terrible disaster for Middle-earth."

"The enemy? What kind of enemy?" Saruman rejected Gandalf's words on the spot: "The enemy has been defeated long ago, and the ring has been washed into the sea. Your worries have no basis at all."

Levi, who was standing by the stone pillar, glanced at Saruman and half-smiled, but after thinking about it he didn't say anything.

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

"Gandalf, our four hundred years of peace have been hard-won, there is no need to take risks anymore." Elrond, who had always sought stability, agreed with Saruman's opinion at this time.

"Peace? Is it really peace? The trolls have come down from the mountains and started to plunder nearby farmers and pastures. Orcs are attacking us on the road. Ask Levi how many Orcs he can kill on a long trip. You know how chaotic it is now.”

"But this is not a sign of an imminent war." Elrond commented.

Saruman also quickly chided: "You always like to make trouble for nothing."

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

Gandalf spoke of his concerns.

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

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

There were four people at a table on the left, with only Saruman sitting alone on the right.

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

"There is a necromancer entrenched in Dol Guldur. He has the power to summon the undead..."

Gandalf talked about what the brown robe had brought back and persuaded everyone to attack Dol Guldur.

"This necromancer is, at best, just an ordinary person who has learned some black magic. It's nothing to worry about..."

Saruman still objected and kept talking. After listening for a while, Gandalf suddenly became unresponsive and seemed to be in a daze.

"Are you listening to me? Look at him, it's like I'm talking to myself..."

Of course he wasn't listening to you.

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

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

Sure enough.

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

This kind of sword is the standard equipment of the Nazgul.

[Sword of Morgul] Attack +7.

Special Effect: Wither.

Those injured by the sword of Morgul will be slowly dragged into darkness, and their lives will gradually wither. This injury cannot be cured by ordinary means, and requires magic or some secret healing methods to relieve it.

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

"No way, absolutely impossible, it's just a coincidence."

Even with the irrefutable evidence right in front of him, Saruman still maintained his conservative style.

"Let's figure it out..."

He resumed his tirade.

However, little did he know that when he said these words, the dwarves had already packed up and left. This was obviously Gandalf's intention. He dragged Saruman here so that the dwarves could have time to go on their way and at the same time force him to do so. Make a choice.

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

As he spoke, this guy could hardly hold his mouth shut.

Thanks to Vera, they are gone.

As the dwarves left, the meeting ended.

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

However, when everything was finalized and everyone was about to leave, Mrs. Galadriel suddenly stopped Levi and walked towards him slowly.

——————

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 setting and plot of Middle-earth. When the content deviates from MC and starts to write Middle-earth adventures, these readers may feel a little confused, so the recent chapters have added a little more plot details, and I will add more updates every time I write details (today’s word count is also 5k+), and 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 are not inferior to any novel. I want to read them again after reading them seven or eight times.
