Chapter 163 Blue Robe Wizard
If you ignore the large group of orcs surrounding the outside, and just look at the magnificent palace in the center of the capital, this place is still very good.
However, although the buildings are magnificent and the kingdom looks quite wealthy, the poor are still very poor.
Just like the old man walking on the street who looks lonely, old and helpless.
The tattered robe he wore seemed to be quite ill-fitting, and he held a wooden stick in his hand, perhaps so that he could continue on his journey when he ran out of strength.
His face from the nose up was covered with a piece of cloth, apparently to prevent excessive exposure to sunlight.
"Such a person must have traveled a lot. If we offer him some reward, he will definitely be willing to say something."
Farodan made suggestions based on past experience and was the first to go over and talk.
After a conversation, the old man frowned and looked carefully at the tall homeless man in front of him, as if he was recalling something.
"I'm not a beggar."
"You, however, look familiar..."
Shaking his head, the old man said:
"What do you want to ask? If I know something, I can tell you."
At this time Levi also came over.
The old man glanced to the side, and once he saw it, he couldn't take his eyes away.
At this moment, he no longer cared about talking to Farodan, and walked towards Levi with his cane.
"You don't look like you're from here."
He said: "You may have some similarities with the people here in terms of facial features, but fundamentally, you are different from them. Most commoners cannot discover this, but as long as a noble comes, you will be exposed immediately."
"What?"
Levi's heart tightened.
Exposed?
"If you don't want to be mobbed the next day, follow me."
Farodan looked toward Levi, one hand clutching the hidden dagger.
Levi shook his head at him and followed him.
I walked through the houses with my head down until I reached an empty pavilion.
The old man turned around, tore off the cloth covering his face, and took off his hood.
"Is it you?"
Farodan exclaimed.
As he exclaimed, the old man continued to take off the ill-fitting cloak on his body, revealing a sea blue robe underneath and a wide hat hanging around his waist, which was the same color as the clothes.
Everything suddenly became clear at this moment.
"Formally introducing you."
The old man bowed and said, "My name is 'Alatar' - as you can see, I am a wizard. Of course, you may be unfamiliar with this name, after all, I seldom mention it to others."
“But you can associate this name with many rumors here, such as the evil conspirator, the rumor spreader, or Morinehtar (the Dark Slayer).”
"I didn't expect you to come back, wanderer from the west."
“I don’t really want to come back…”
In response, Farodan turned sideways and introduced Levi: "This is the old man who helped me leave the ferry."
After that, he took a deep breath and introduced to the old man: "This is the legend in the wilderness of the West, the master of cube magic, the founder of the free city-state, and the dragon slayer (omitted) Levi."
call--
After saying this, Farodan quickly took a breath, and only recovered after taking several deep breaths.
“…Since I set foot on this land, I have never been to the West. I never expected that such a great man would appear in these thousands of years.”
The old man with a rather heroic face couldn't help but stroke his upturned beard.
"You are of the Dúnedain, too?"
"I'm not." Levi replied.
"May I ask who sent you?"
The man in blue robe looked to the west, and it was obvious that this sentence meant something else.
"I came here on my own."
"I came here by myself..."
"Okay, good, great."
I always feel like I've been misunderstood.
Levi didn't want to dwell on this topic any more. He said, "I was asking about you. I heard you say you can't go back?"
“Yes, it is difficult.”
When this was mentioned, Alatar couldn't help but sigh.
"In a past battle, the enemy left an indelible mark on my consciousness. That mark corrupted my soul and brought me closer and closer to darkness..."
"I have gradually forgotten what my homeland looks like. I only know it is a beautiful place."
"My time is running out, Legend Levi."
He simply said: "In a few decades or a hundred years at most, I may no longer be myself."
"Why do you say that?"
Alatar did not answer, but just shook his head.
"You don't understand the terrifying power of that force. It cannot be dealt with by ordinary means."
"Let's talk about you. Why are you here?"
"I heard that Soran's power here is quite huge, and the situation here is not very good."
Levi was not in a hurry to dig deeper into the meaning of these words. He followed the blue robe's question and said, "So I came to see what's going on. By the way, if possible, I hope to suppress Soran's power. He has been restless recently."
"It is indeed urgent."
Alatar said: "The army I have managed to raise is about to be attacked by the Orcs and the Easterlings, and we don't even have a decent defense."
"The army? Where?"
There are actually people from our community in this place?
"It's due east of Mordor, not too far from Mordor."
Alatar thought back.
"Although everything was not going smoothly, it was at least moving in a good direction, until the great enemy suddenly appeared in Mordor and issued a call to the entire eastern region."
"Even when weakened, the enemy's power is not something mortals can resist. Even if there are some strong people, they will soon be wiped out by the power of Mordor."
"Now, there is still a little bit of pure land left in the east that was built by the rebels. I hope it will not disappear with the arrival of the Demon Shadow."
Although it was mixed with a lot of riddles and was not too detailed, Lanpao had managed to explain the general situation here.
"You said you were worried about the last piece of pure land, so why are you in the enemy's base camp?"
Farodan also understood, but this was the only thing he didn't understand.
Wizards are regarded as wise men or military strategists in many camps.
A military advisor, instead of thinking of a solution in the rear, ran to the enemy's hometown? "I have a hunch that I should come here."
Alatar glanced at Levi and said, "This is... the wizard's premonition, and even if I didn't have this premonition, I would still come here."
"You, Dúnedain of the Westerlands, descendant of Númenor, do not know what wizards are capable of."
“Sometimes, a person’s power and methods can be beyond your imagination.”
At this point, Alatar smiled confidently.
"Indeed."
Farodan did not refute.
After all, there is an example around us.
"I will go to the palace to find their king now. As long as we can remove the erosion of the enemy, even if they are still hostile to the free countries in the west after the control is lifted, or they still want to eliminate the last pure land in the east, it can at least buy some time. The orcs outside will be enough for them to deal with for a while."
"Do you need help?"
Levi seemed eager to try.
"No, young Legend and Lord of the New Force, although I don't know why you would risk your life to go out in person, and you only brought one Dunedain companion with you."
"But you'd better wait here. Like I said before, if any nobles see you, they will immediately see that you are different and call in the army to attack you."
"I will bring back good news."
After saying that, the man in blue nodded to the two of them, turned around and walked towards the palace.
Don't check. In the recent plot, all the characters except the blue-robed man are fictitious and cannot be found in the encyclopedia.
