Chapter 265 Delivery
For Aragorn, this news was too explosive - mainly the following news.
He could still accept the title of Chieftain of the Dunedain. His mother had said many things to him over the years, hinting that his identity was not ordinary.
In fact, even if Elrond didn't say it, he had already guessed something.
But the following message...
Arnor, the destroyed northern kingdom, its remnants are now the nomads, and the chieftain of the Dunedain is actually a descendant of the royal family of Arnor.
At the same time, because the last generation of kings of Arthedain (one of the three Dunedain kingdoms split from Arnor) married into the royal family of Gondor, their descendants also have the blood of the royal family of Gondor.
In other words, every generation of Dunedain chiefs is actually qualified to compete for the throne of Gondor.
However, for various reasons, from the time Gondor lost its last king (2050) to the present (2952), in the past 900 years, they have not set their sights on the throne of Gondor, but have stayed in the north and continued to fight against the evil forces in this land.
When Aragorn's identity was officially revealed, the hall fell into a brief silence.
Aragorn bowed his head and thought for a moment.
In the end, he chose to accept the existing facts.
"I swear on my name that from now on I will devote my life to my people and fight for all free people."
"Um."
Elrond smiled, and Aragorn's mother nodded behind him, obviously pleased.
Levi also looked optimistic, which gave Aragorn considerable confidence.
"I'm ready to go."
The world is before your eyes.
"Before you leave, I have something to give you."
Elrond pulled out a golden apple.
"This is the gift Levi gave you ten years ago. Now it's time to give it to you."
Aragorn's eyes were drawn to it.
Elrond continued:
"The golden apple has the power of protection and healing. It can pull life back from the brink of death."
"Thanks you."
Aragorn took the golden apple and thanked Levi.
"Don't worry yet, Aragorn."
Elrond glanced at Levi and said, "Your Uncle Levi has something to give you."
"You can look forward to it, because I don't know what he will give you."
Under the curious gazes of the two, Levi took a step forward.
He took out the white elf gem that shone like a star.
Then a dazzling light appeared in the pupils of everyone present.
"This is…"
Aragorn was still a little dazed, but his mother Gilraen came over first and took him to solemnly bow to Levi.
"The Star of Elendil, a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Dunedain, and a symbol of Arnor's royal power."
Elrond told the origin of the gem.
"It has been lost for thousands of years, and I never expected it to be found today."
"Yeah, who would have thought that this gem was hidden by a shameless guy? It took me a lot of effort to get it."
Levi showed no mercy.
"That was really hard work for you."
"All the Dúnedain will thank you."
In fact, after the Star of Elendil was lost, Isildur's son Valandil commissioned the elves to create a second gem to replace it. Although the second Star of Elendil was also very beautiful, it was not as good as the first one in terms of historical heritage or magic contained. It can only be said to be an exquisite high-imitation substitute. It is beautiful, but it has no other use.
The light emitted by the genuine product is enough to scare dark creatures. Once it is worn on the head, Orcs dare not approach and can only attack from a distance.
Now it's back.
There will be a tremor among the Dúnedain.
"I have a commission."
Levi spoke again.
"Uncle Levi, you say."
Aragorn's attitude was quite respectful.
"When you return with it to your Clans, I hope you will find a certain Farodan, the Dúnedain whom you met when I visited Rivendell ten years ago."
"It was he who mentioned the Star of Elendil to the wanderers in his company that brought it to my attention."
“I’m afraid they’ll miss the news.”
"I will."
Aragorn agreed immediately.
His mother patted him gently from behind, as if to remind him of something.
Aragorn immediately understood and said, "I will always remember it."
The reputation of the Dúnedain increased greatly again.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter whether you add reputation or not.
Given the current situation, Levi could mobilize as many vagrants as their patriarch with a wave of his hand.
When his life story was revealed by Elrond and everything that needed to be delivered was delivered, Levi and Elrond left for a while to give Aragorn some time to digest the matter.
The two of them came to a terrace, sat on both sides of a stone table and began to chat.
"I am a little curious, in whose hands has this gem been hidden for so long?" Elrond mentioned this matter.
"You really want to know?"
After hearing what Levi said, Elrond suddenly felt unsure.
"Is it someone who can't speak?"
"No, no, no. I just think that once you know something, you can no longer maintain the same way as before. The way you look at someone may change."
"Even so, do you still want to know?" Levi confirmed again.
Elrond said seriously, "I don't understand what there is to hide, Levi. No matter what happens, I can guarantee that I will always stand on the side of justice."
"Very good then."
"In fact, the Star of Elendil was picked up by Saruman and hidden away. I fought... I negotiated with him for a long time before he was willing to hand it over."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Of course, it was a fair trade and I gave him something he wanted."
"Oh." Elrond nodded dumbly.
It sounds like this process should be quite intense.
"I see."
He did not comment much on this matter.
Anyway, the result is good.
"Let's talk about something else."
Levi changed the subject and said, "What do you think about the content of Aragorn's training?"
"I plan to guide him to the great wilderness east of the Misty Mountains. There are still some things worth noting there."
As for the Lone Land on the west side of the Misty Mountains and even the entire Eriador... this has become Levi's home ground. Even if he doesn't say it, or even if he may not notice it, in this area, others no longer have the right to decide many things.
"Why don't we let him be a trainee ranger for a while."
Levi made a suggestion.
"The rangers of Lonely Land are still fighting against enemies that may appear at any time every day. They have never relaxed for a moment."
Elrond thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'll ask him later."
Working for this legendary overlord for a period of time can serve as a form of training, and it also seems to be a good qualification, right?
Elrond began to think about Aragorn's future.
"Then it's settled. Just send him to the roadside fort when the time comes."
"good."
When things were finalized, Levi didn't linger for long.
The next day, he went back.
The same night.
Aragorn stopped in front of the garden fountain, staring at the quiet flowing water in a trance.
The sound of light footsteps came from behind. Aragorn's mind moved slightly and he turned around immediately, but what he met was a face that was neither old nor young.
Elrond.
Aragorn was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted himself.
But before he could say anything, Elrond got straight to the point and said, "I know your feelings for Arwen."
"But I won't allow this."
The words came too suddenly, without any preparation.
Young Aragorn was stunned on the spot. For the first time, he felt that his kind adoptive father was so ruthless.
But Elrond's fatherly authority did not allow him to resist.
"unless…"
Just when Aragorn was feeling heartbroken, a glimmer of hope appeared in Elrond's words.
"Unless you become the king of Gondor and Arnor, then I will allow you two to be together."
Aragorn fell silent.
King... this burden is too heavy.
"You have the Star of Elendil, and now I give you another."
Elrond waved, and Aragorn followed.
After a while, the two men walked to a statue. The statue was holding a stone platform in its hand, and on the platform was a broken sharp blade.
It was the sword of Elendil: Narsil, the sword that cut off Sauron's finger.
The Star of Elendil and Elendil's sword Narsil, these two holy relics left by the High King of Mankind are enough to represent the kingship of Arnor and Gondor.
Aragorn realized this as well.
He didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, Aragorn said goodbye to Elrond and his mother and headed west.
He will be doing his internship at Roadside Fort.
