Chapter 337 Heading to the Gray Elf Kingdom (3rd update)

In Middle-earth, behind the Elf City, a newly built castle stands there.

This castle, built by humans and elves under the guidance of George, is a new academy modeled after Hogwarts Castle.

And George is the principal of this academy.

At this time, in the principal's office of the academy.

"It's a pity that Thingol is still unwilling to send troops, and is unwilling to let the gray elves come here to guide and learn and exchange."

The eldest prince Finrod couldn't help but sigh to his human friend George.

Most of the plans during this period were very smooth. Under the call of Bregolas and Barahir, the scattered humans basically came to live in the Elf City.

The central defense line to block Angband has also been re-established.

The two dwarf clans of Firebeard and Broadbeam in the Blue Mountains also sent people over, intending to work with the elves to create magical equipment that can resist the magic fire.

In this way, humans, elves and dwarves will no longer be passive when facing the army of Balrogs and the dragons that may appear again.

Unfortunately, the Grey Elves, who currently occupy the largest number of elves in the entire continent and have a powerful Maia, that is, the branch of their maternal uncle Thingol, refused all cooperation.

The reason is simple, they are still upset about the killing of the sea elves, and they cannot forgive the kidnapping of their daughter Lúthien by one of the seven sons of Fëanor.

They will not help the Noldor elves to attack Morgoth and help the seven sons of Fëanor to regain the Silmarils.

"If the mountain does not come to see me, then I will go to see the mountain."

Hearing the sigh of the eldest prince Finrod, George thought for a while and said:

"Finnrod, I want to go to the Grey Elf Kingdom to visit Thingol."

During this period, he was not idle. He had been communicating magic with the Noldor elves and had a deeper understanding of the magic system of the Noldor elves.

Because most of the Noldor elves learned from Aulë, the god of forging and earth, they are not as proficient in magic as the Vanyar elves. They are better at injecting the power of magic into the forged objects and making them into magical objects.

The strength of the Noldor is more derived from the power contained in the body under the illumination of the two sacred trees.

The dwarves created by Aulë are also good at forging, and their craftsmanship is not inferior to or even better than that of the elves, but they cannot integrate various magics into their equipment as easily as the Noldor elves.

George has been studying alchemy recently, and the enchanted forging of the elves is very helpful to him, but he still wants to get closer to the magic of this world.

The three people in the Grey Elf Kingdom are very helpful for him to study and understand the magic of this world.

One of them is the future Elf Queen Galadriel, who has the blood of the Vanya and has also learned the magic of the Vanya elves in Valinor.

The second is Lúthien, who is known as the most beautiful elf. Her sleep magic can even put Morgoth into a deep sleep.

The last and most important one is the only god he can contact now that he cannot go to Valinor, Maiar Melian.

With his own power, he laid a ring of Melian in the alien space around the kingdom to protect the entire Grey Elf Kingdom from the invasion of Morgoth. His divine power is second only to that of the general Valar.

"George, are you really going to visit Thingol?"

Hearing George's words, the eldest prince Finrod was stunned for a moment.

In his opinion, even his two younger brothers went to visit Thingol together, and even asked his sister Galadriel, who had been living there, to help, but they couldn't persuade Thingol, so it was useless for George to go.

George smiled:

"In fact, I think the two reasons you just mentioned are not the main reasons why Thingol refused."

"Oh, tell me more about it."

Finnrod immediately showed an interested look.

George explained:

"You should know that we only invited Thingol to help defend and drive away the Balrog army that had entered Beleriand and wreaked havoc. We didn't say that we would counterattack Angband and take back the Silmarils for Fëanor.

And the seven princes of Fëanor are already scattered in the east and fleeing everywhere."

"So what you mean is"

Finrod's face gradually showed a hint of understanding.

George continued:

"Since its establishment, the Grey Elves Kingdom has a history of nearly four thousand years.

In the past four thousand years, under the protection of Melian, the Grey Elves have been living a stable and peaceful life.

If they are asked to help deal with the Balrog army now, there will definitely be casualties, which is what Thingol, as the Grey Elves King, does not want to see.

And even if the Balrog army is driven back to Angband, what good can it do for the Grey Elves?

As for coming to the Elf City in Dorthonion to exchange magic, it is even more unnecessary.

Thingol has never seen my magic, and thinks that the magic used by us humans who have just appeared not long ago cannot be very powerful, and it is of no help to the Grey Elves, so naturally he is unwilling to come."

Elves are intelligent beings, and intelligent beings have seven emotions and six desires, and will seek benefits and avoid harm, even the Valamaiah is like this.

As the king of the Grey Elves, Thingol must put the safety of the Grey Elves first, and it is normal for him not to agree to come out to deal with Morgoth.

However, it was precisely because the Grey Elves had always stayed out of the matter and relied too much on the Girdle of Melian that Morgoth continued to grow stronger and the Grey Elves were almost completely wiped out.

Melian was willing to protect the Grey Elves because of her husband and daughter.

Later, Thingol was killed by the dwarves because of the necklace inlaid with the Silmaril, his daughter died and turned into a human, Melian returned to Valinor heartbroken, and the Grey Elf Kingdom lost its protection.

The Grey Elf Kingdom, which has the largest number of elves in the entire continent, was directly massacred by the Blue Mountain Dwarf Army because of its long-term comfort. If Beren, a human who was nearly 70 years old, had not come to support, it would have almost been wiped out.

But later, it was still tortured and driven crazy by the oath of the Silmaril, and only a few people were left.

If Thingol had attacked to help and protect the defense line when Morgoth counterattacked, although many Grey Elves would have been lost, it would have also allowed the Grey Elves to experience the polishing of war, so that the city would not be easily broken by the Dwarves later.

"So you want to show your magic to Thingol?"

The eldest prince Finrod understood everything now.

George nodded:

"Yes, let Thingol know the power of human magic, and he will naturally be tempted.

Then I will have a good chat with him. Even if he is still unwilling to send troops to help, he should at least be willing to send people to the Elven City to exchange magic."

"Okay, I will notify my sister and ask him to pick you up at the edge of the forest in Doriath and enter the Grey Elf Kingdom."

The eldest prince Finrod made the decision.

The Grey Elf Kingdom prohibits outsiders from entering, but Thingol is the uncle of the three brothers and sisters, so it is not a big problem to bring a few people in.
