Chapter 333: Rivendell Exchanges Knowledge
A dozen mercenaries killed the orcs easily, and launched a counterattack, causing heavy casualties among the orcs, forcing them to flee in panic.
But they were soon caught up by the mercenaries and all killed. The whole battle was a complete victory. When everyone killed their way through the battlefield, they came to their senses and returned one after another.
"Thank you for your help, Master Wizard!" said the caravan leader respectfully.
"Okay, no need to thank me. The problem is solved and I am leaving too. Be careful on your journey." Richard waved his hand and rode away.
Just when they were dealing with these orcs, Richard turned on his mental scan and sensed a powerful life force. In this world, only elves possess such a powerful life force.
Richard immediately rode his horse in that direction. Soon after he climbed over a hill, he saw from afar a neat column of silver-gray running waters running rapidly down the hillside in the distance.
A melodious horn sounded, and the silver-gray torrent instantly split into four streams, two of which attacked from the back, and the other two were interspersed on the left and right flanks.
The war horses galloped past, and a large number of orcs were drowned by the silver-grey torrent. The silver-grey torrent quickly merged into one, and then split into two sides again. With mutual cooperation, it was like flowing water, with tacit cooperation to the extreme, and superb skills. For the first time, Richard felt that fighting was really like art.
The silver-grey elven cavalry collided with the wolf orcs. As soon as they came into contact, the wolf orcs were overwhelmed. A large number of orcs were knocked down and then crushed by the horses' hooves.
After only two rounds of charging, the orc army was dispersed, and without the coordination of the army, the orcs were no match for the elves. Even Richard and I did not see any elves injured.
Richard was surprised by the strength of these elves.
The orcs, who were originally several times the number of the elves, were killed and fled in panic. A large number of orcs ran around in panic. He saw some orcs running towards him.
Richard waved his hand gently, opening the private space, and the next second a burning sensation rose up.
"Wow!"
A phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and a beautiful golden figure appeared in the sky. It was Richard's sacred phoenix.
The sacred phoenix flapped its wings gracefully in the sky, and the next second, countless flames fell from the sky.
These flames fell on the fleeing orcs one after another. The moment they touched the orcs' bodies, the flames instantly rose up and directly enveloped them.
The orcs rolled on the ground, but it was of no use and they were soon burned to ashes.
The elves who were chasing the orcs made a detour and continued to chase the orcs. The knights quickly killed the orcs with various weapons, and soon all the orcs were killed.
Richard stopped on the hillside on his horse and watched. With the cooperation of the Phoenix, the orcs had no chance of resistance.
After finally killing all the orcs who did not have time to escape, the group of elven knights quickly lined up. Then, he saw two knights in the queue rushing towards him.
These elves were wearing silver-grey armor similar to plate armor, with some elven runes painted on it. It was a good enchanted armor. After two elves came forward, a tall elf rode his horse forward:
"Outsider, greetings to you. Thank you for your assistance. What's your name?"
"Richard, a traveling wizard." Richard waved his hand gently, and the phoenix flying in the sky immediately retracted its body. In the blink of an eye, it changed from a huge phoenix with a wingspan of twenty meters to a one-foot-long golden-red bird and landed on Richard's shoulder.
"In fact, even if I don't take action, you can easily strangle these orcs."
"What kind of bird is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"It's the Phoenix, my summoned creature!" Richard said with a smile.
"You are so lucky! To have such a beautiful creature in your company."
"Wizard, what brings you to this land?"
"I have been traveling around the continent and have heard many stories about elves, so I wanted to come and meet you."
The elf looked at Richard with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and quickly said, "Our king wants to see you! Please follow me!"
Richard followed the elf to the elven army. The armor of these elves were almost exactly the same, and after putting on their helmets, they were almost indistinguishable.
The elf in front of the army also wore a mask, but his armor was much more gorgeous. After nodding to Richard, he led the army back.
Richard followed the army and slowly moved forward. The entire army was completely silent, with only the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of armor plates colliding. The whole process did not change at all.
Even as the army marched forward, the formation was spotless.
Richard followed the army and soon came to a valley. The valley was blocked by high mountains on both sides and the light was dim, but it didn't take long before the valley became clear.
A beautiful city appeared in the valley. The entire city was built like a work of art, with tall and magnificent buildings that blended perfectly with the surrounding environment. This kind of scene had only been seen when he first went to the Crown of the Elves.
The Crown of the Elves is the world of Morterra, the capital of the High Elves. It is a perfect fusion of art and practicality.
"Welcome to Rivendell, Wizard Richard!" The leading elf dismounted, took off his helmet and looked at Richard.
Richard also dismounted and walked forward, but after seeing the appearance of the elf, he was suddenly stunned. Such a familiar face, with red skin. Isn't this the Red Skull in the Marvel world?
"Hello, it's an honor to come to such a beautiful city!" Richard said with a smile.
"I am the lord here, Elrond."
When Richard heard the name, he knew it was you.
"Some time ago, I heard that the corpses in the old forest were cleared out by a powerful wizard. I guess that wizard must be you."
"Just do it." Richard nodded.
"There is no need to be modest. This is something worthy of praise." Elrond said with a smile.
"Welcome to the Valley!"
"Prepare a banquet and welcome our new friends!"
Elrond took Richard into Rivendell, crossed the suspension bridge in front of the city, and Richard entered this beautiful city.
King Elrond quickly took off his armor and brought Richard to a dining table, where various elven delicacies were prepared. Several elven maids poured Richard a glass of wine.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." King Elrond seemed very interested in Richard.
"Is the beautiful bird on your shoulder called a phoenix?" "Yes, it is a type of phoenix." Richard said with a smile: "There are many types of phoenixes, this is one of them, but they have one thing in common, that is, beauty and power!"
"A truly beautiful creature, a favorite of heaven." King Elrond loved the phoenix very much.
No, it should be said that the entire elven kingdom likes the phoenix.
"Sir, my phoenix is an elemental life form with only some simple intelligence. It is not a real creature, and there are even fewer real phoenixes." Richard explained.
"Elemental life?"
"Yes, its main part is the condensation of elemental energy under the influence of the Phoenix Talisman."
"What a magical creature," said King Elrond.
"I know all the wizards walking around the continent. I wonder where you are from?"
King Elrond could feel the powerful force contained in Richard's body, a force that no mortal could master. Only the gods from Valinor in Aman had such a powerful force.
So he thought Richard was a Maia sent by the gods of Valinor, just like Gandalf.
"I'm here to find other worlds in the multiverse!" Richard said with a smile.
"Multiverse?" King Elrond was a little confused. He didn't understand what it was.
You have to know that in the world of The Lord of the Rings, apart from Middle-earth, there is only Aman where the gods live. A long time ago, in the First Age, Aman was connected to Middle-earth.
It is just across the sea, and Aman can be reached by ship.
But later the gods became angry at the greed of living beings, so they separated Aman from Middle-earth. Aman rose to the sky, and Middle-earth became a planet.
This world also changed from a flat plane to a planetary plane, although there are only two planets in this universe: Aman and Middle-earth.
Only the God of Creation can do this. It is very difficult for other gods to create the world, and it is even more difficult to directly change the rules of the universe. Richard was also thinking about whether he could change his demiplane from a plane to a planet in the future.
After all, compared to the flat plane world, the planetary world is more reasonable and larger.
The area of the plane world is smaller than that of the planet world.
"The universe is not unique. The world we are in now was created by the Creator God. But outside this world, there are other worlds created by the Creator God."
"Some worlds are in the same universe, but some worlds are in other universes. Some of these universes are separated by crystal walls, while others are blocked by nothingness."
"Normally, it is very difficult for creatures in one world to travel to other worlds. Only those who have mastered the power of time and space can do it."
"These universes form a multiverse. No one knows how big this multiverse is. Perhaps only the creator gods know."
"You are actually from another world!?" King Elrond was shocked when he heard Richard's words. It was also the first time he heard that there were other worlds besides this world.
"This world is big, but it still feels very young to me. There are not many species of life. But this world is really beautiful." Richard said with a smile.
"Wizard Richard, are you traveling to other worlds now?"
"Yes." Richard smiled and said, "At my stage, every step forward is difficult, so I need to travel to different worlds to gain more knowledge and collect various animals and plants from each world."
Richard had a pleasant communication with King Elrond. After learning about the multiverse, Richard told him some things about the multiverse.
Soon the dinner party ended.
Although this Elf King was in a high position, he was not overbearing and was very friendly, which was very different from the elves Richard had met before. In the multiverse, some elves in some planes were very proud and arrogant.
There are also some worlds where the elves are no different from humans, the only difference is their pointed ears and better looks, but their personalities are as changeable as humans.
There are also some elves in high positions who have completely degenerated into power creatures, such as the high elves in World of Warcraft. At that time, the upper elves of the high elves were completely corrupt and turned into power creatures. They were fighting for power all day long and did not pay attention to their own strength. They were almost no different from human politicians. They were political creatures through and through.
But the King Elrond in front of him had none of these shortcomings. He was still gentle, wise, and calm. It could be said that all the qualities of an elf could be found in him.
Perhaps it was because no human had visited the valley for a long time, or perhaps the elves knew that Richard was an alien visitor, so they welcomed Richard very much. Every day, elves would chat with him or take him on a tour around the city.
King Elrond arranged a palace for Richard to live in. It has to be said that the living standards of the elves in this world are a dimensionality reduction attack.
Human beings are still in a very backward society, while the living standards of elves have even surpassed those of modern society.
The elves were very curious about Richard's phoenix. Every morning when Richard went out, the elves would look at him curiously. After all, he was the only human in the city.
Richard felt like he was in a zoo, except he was the one being watched.
I have to say that the elves in this world are very good-looking. These elves possess powerful strength. Their strength far exceeds that of humans. They have long lives, and during these long lives, they have mastered various skills.
These elves originally had good talents. It can be said that every elf, as long as they were not lazy, was basically a hexagonal warrior. They knew everything about combat, forging, archery, art, etc.
All the elves are handsome and beautiful, no wonder the creator of this world likes them. Look at the dwarves, they all have big beards and bad tempers, and humans look all kinds of different, and their hearts are not pure.
Is there any need to think about these races compared to elves? Richard himself would choose to like elves.
"Wizard from afar, can we play with your phoenix?" asked several female elves.
"Of course." Richard patted the phoenix gently and let it play with the female elves. Then he went to find King Elrond.
"Mr. Richard, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Your Lord, I want to read some elves' books. In exchange, I can teach you how to summon the phoenix!" Richard said with a smile.
"I see you like phoenixes very much. If you learn this spell, you will have your own phoenix!"
"Thank you for your generosity, Excellency. You are free to browse our library at will," King Elrond said happily.
