Looking at the handsome Elf King below, Wayne looked at him for a few seconds and saw that his eyes were calm and there was no hostility.
Wayne thought for a moment, then controlled the magic carpet and slowly landed on the ground.
He waved at the Deathclaw, and the terrifying-looking beast immediately snorted like a puppy receiving an order from its master, then ran backwards with its head lowered.
After living together for a long time, it knows that its owner doesn't like its dirty appearance covered in blood, and it must find water and clean its body.
After Robin left, Wayne looked at the obviously relaxed Knight in Silver Armor and the Elf King, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty Elrond, I am a human adventurer, Wayne, and my companions were attacked by orcs when we passed by here."
"I defeated them. My companions are not far away. You should know one of them. He is the wizard Gandalf. We are discussing whether to go to Rivendell and seek your help."
When Wayne mentioned Gandalf's name, the Elf King Elrond's expression relaxed slightly. He stretched out his hand and gestured to the silver-armored knights behind him, asking them to let down their guard. Then he said to Wayne very politely:
"This is the range of Rivendell, human adventurer. I wonder where Gandalf is now?"
Wayne pointed to the direction he had just flown from and replied, "They should be here soon, Your Majesty. They will also be accompanied by the Dwarf Prince Thorin and the Brown-robed Wizard Radagast."
Wayne has a calm temperament and a mysterious background. In addition, the power of the Death Claw is so fierce that it is hard to tell his depth.
When Elrond heard those names, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to look at Wayne, and both of them fell into a brief silence.
Wayne was not embarrassed at all, and looked openly at the silver-armored elven knights behind Elrond.
As the favorites of the God of Creation, the elves in Middle-earth are all tall and handsome, with excellent looks and temperament. The knights behind Elrond not only have the natural handsomeness of the elves, but also have a bit of the unique toughness of warriors, which looks quite pleasing to the eye.
What interested Wayne the most was that there were several female elf knights among them. They were beautiful and heroic, which made this old pervert unable to resist the urge to taste them.
Unfortunately, most of the elves in this world are very loyal to love. It is estimated that the relationship between lovers and sex partners is unlikely to work here. The idea of eating fast food will be despised by many people.
Just when Wayne was having some wild thoughts, Gandalf and Thorin appeared in everyone's sight.
After seeing the silver-armored knight on Wayne's side, Gandalf and the brown-robed wizard Radagast did not hesitate at all, but instead quickened their pace and walked towards there.
Thorin and the other dwarves were noticeably slower, with their expressions and actions full of hesitation and reluctance. They had obviously discovered that the people here were elves and did not want to deal with them.
However, under Gandalf's urging, the two groups quickly joined together.
Putting aside the slightly awkward meeting, with Gandalf, a famous wizard in Middle-earth, as a guarantor, Wayne and his party quickly gained Elrond's trust. Led by the Elf King, they entered Rivendell and came to Rivendell.
This was Wayne's first time to come to this beautiful valley known as Paradise. It was also the first time he knew that there was such a beautiful and relaxing place in the world.
The architectural style of Rivedel is not magnificent and gorgeous, but full of the pastoral artistic sense unique to elves. It not only complements the beautiful environment around it, but also reveals the elves' ingenuity and dexterity in every detail, making people feel very comfortable.
Wayne ignored the very awkward conversation and temptation between the elf and the dwarf, and casually arranged a remote corner for Robin, who had amazing deterrence, and let it stay there.
Then, under the guidance of a beautiful female elf guide, he toured the surrounding scenery while trying to strike up a conversation with the beautiful female elf. After a polite conversation, he was taken to the residence arranged for them by the Elf King.
However, after only a short rest, the beautiful female elf came to inform him that the Elf King's lunch had begun and the entire expedition team was invited to have lunch together.
Speaking of this lunch, Wayne couldn't help but think of the rude and funny behavior of the dwarves in the original movie.
It has to be said that in Middle-earth, elves are the representatives of elegance and etiquette, while dwarves are the representatives of barbarism, bravery and pettiness.
Maybe this description is not appropriate, but elves are more like upper-class people in society, elegant and polite, with good self-cultivation. Even if they have hatred towards you and dislike you, they will not show it very obviously, they will still treat you appropriately, and then kill you without mercy.
Dwarves are like good brothers among the lower classes of the market. They will joke with you, play and joke with you, and when something goes wrong everyone will shoulder the responsibility together. However, they often mess things up, like to steal and do things that are not presentable.
Although dwarves are not liked by other races because of their greedy nature, it must be said that if you can become friends with them, they will often lend a helping hand without fear of danger when you encounter difficulties.
As for this lunch hosted by the Elf King, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the dishes served were all fruits and vegetables. Such food was not very popular among the dwarves. In addition, they did not like the elves to begin with. So a good lunch soon turned into a farce of dwarves singing, dancing, playing and fighting, causing the surrounding elves to frown.
Fortunately, the Elf King Elrond was a leader with amazing magnanimity. He did not blame the dwarves for their rude behavior. He still treated them very politely, as if he had no grudge at all.
Rivendell deserves to be called the last home of all kind creatures in Middle-earth. As the lord here, Elrond is indeed admirable.
After lunch, Wayne did not continue to make trouble with the dwarves. Instead, he took the initiative to find the Elf King Elrond who was talking with Gandalf, and expressed his demands.
"What's up, Mr. Wayne?"
With Gandalf as a guarantor and after seeing Wayne's strength, Elrond also expressed his importance for Wayne. A person's strength often represents his status, and no leader would ignore such a powerful adventurer like him.
Wayne didn't say much. Ever since he received three high-level tasks from Thorin, he has tasted the sweetness and started to actively look for tasks. Taking the initiative to find the Elf King is also an attempt.
"You should have discovered that I am very powerful and am best at fighting. I wonder if there are any enemies in Rivendell that need to be dealt with, such as orcs, ferocious beasts, or other evil things."
"You can entrust such tasks to me. Just pay me a reward that satisfies me, and I will help you eliminate those enemies that give you headaches."
Hearing Wayne's straightforward speech, Gandalf and Elrond were slightly stunned, then looked at each other. As the owners of the Three Rings of Fire and Air of the Elves, the two immediately used the team voice of the Three Rings of the Elves to communicate.
Although the profession of adventurer does exist in Middle-earth, most of them are mercenaries or hooligans, who are not presentable. They are a group of reckless guys who go on adventures to various ruins or the wild for wealth and status.
The Wayne in front of them was obviously not such a character, but both Gandalf and Elrond were curious about Wayne's strength but also maintained a certain degree of vigilance. After all, the two sides were not very familiar with each other and did not trust each other enough. They would not arbitrarily pull Wayne into their core and tell him secrets that could not be easily revealed to others.
However, facing Wayne's mission request, the two discussed it secretly for a while, and then the Elf King Elrond coughed lightly, with a kind expression, and asked politely:
"Mr. Wayne, we in Rivendell have always been quite peaceful. So far, there are no forces hostile to us, and the surrounding wild beasts have all been driven away by our knights."
"However, if you are willing to accept a combat commission, we do have a mission that we can entrust to you."
"But before that, I need to know, what is the reward you are talking about?"
"Is it gold?"
Upon hearing this, Wayne looked at Gandalf and Elrond, shook his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, although I also like gold very much, I have already made a contract with Prince Thorin. As long as I help him complete the task of retaking the Lonely Mountain and killing Smaug, he will give me one third of the entire Lonely Mountain treasure."
"I think as long as I complete this contract, I will no longer lack gold."
"So, I want to get some magical things or magic props from the elves."
"I am very interested in this kind of things. If the price is right, I am even willing to take out the precious items I collected from other places and exchange them with you."
"For example, these three swords are treasures I found during my past adventures. You can appreciate them."
As he spoke, Wayne waved his hand and took out three exquisite weapons from his space bracelet. They were the three ancient elven swords he got from the ogre cave.
After seeing the three swords, Elrond and Gandalf's eyes lit up slightly. They were both knowledgeable and connoisseurs of value, and they could tell at a glance that these three swords were extraordinary.
Moreover, Wayne's ability to produce objects 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 each picked up an elven sword and began to appreciate it carefully, either carefully observing the inscriptions and Elvish language on the scabbard, or drawing out the sword, exposing the shining blade to the air.
After a while, Elrond, the Elf King, sighed slightly, put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and said with emotion: "These two swords were forged by the Gondolin Elves in the First Age. They were once the swords of Turgon, the King of Gondolin. They are extremely sharp and strong, and have a strong killing power against dark creatures. When an Orc approaches the holder, these two swords can also glow to warn."
"I remember their names, Glamdring and Orcrest, the Hammer of Foes and the Bite of the Beast, swords that slew hundreds of Orcs in the past and made them feared by all."
"It is a great relief to see them again today, Mr. Wayne."
"I will consider your question about exchanging magic items in detail and give you an answer after a while."
Elrond glanced sideways at Gandalf who was deep in thought, then thought for a moment and said:
"On your way to the Lonely Mountain, you will pass through the Misty Mountains, and in the Misty Mountains there lives an evil clan of orcs.
They established an orc town in the mountains, and have been using the complex terrain of the Misty Mountains and the various underground tunnels to harass all living things around them, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. "
"If you are willing to defeat these Orcs for the sake of the people of Middle-earth, Mr. Wayne, we in Rivendell are willing to pay you handsomely for it."
As the Elf King Elrond finished speaking, Wayne immediately heard a system prompt in his ears.
Ding! Triggering the quest [Defeat the Orc Clan in the Misty Mountains], Master Level, do you want to accept it?
After hearing about the mission, Wayne did not rashly choose to accept it immediately. Instead, he carefully read the requirements of the mission and found that it did not require him to kill every orc in the Misty Mountains, but to inflict heavy damage on this clan. Without any hesitation, Wayne immediately chose to accept it.
Because in his impression, the Orc Clan of the Misty Mountains was one of the main forces of the Orcs participating in the Battle of Five Armies. This mission would be accomplished no matter what. The only difference was the amount of effort they put in.
Wayne laughed, nodded to Gandalf and Elrond, and said, "There is no problem with this commission. I hate these filthy orcs. As long as there is a chance, I will show no mercy to these evil monsters and will do my best to inflict heavy damage on their manpower."
"As for the reward for this mission, let's discuss it slowly after I achieve results."
"Before that, I hope to read the elves' collection of books, Your Majesty Elrond. I am very interested in the long history of the elves. I hope you can fulfill my request."
