Chapter 334 Summoning the Phoenix and the Elven Ring

Richard knew the attraction of the phoenix to the elves, so he released the phoenix when he met them. It was also because of the beautiful phoenix that Richard was able to easily enter the elves' territory, Rivendell.

Elves are usually rather tsundere. If they don't really like someone, they won't take the initiative to invite them.

Just like now, they obviously like the phoenix and want to obtain the spell to summon the phoenix, but they did not bring it up on their own initiative. However, after Richard expressed that he could exchange the elves' knowledge, King Elrond immediately agreed.

"To summon a phoenix, you need to construct a phoenix rune. This is the construction technique of the phoenix rune." Richard took out a scroll. This scroll completely recorded the spell of summoning a phoenix, and also had a complete analysis.

King Elrond also has powerful magic, and as the first generation of elves, they are the most beloved by the God of Creation. Even until now, the God of Creation still leaves them a way to return to Aman.

Richard analyzed the structure of the Phoenix Rune in detail and then passed it on to King Elrond.

"There cannot be any errors in these rune nodes." King Elrond had a strong learning ability and it took him about three days to memorize the rune model.

I have to say, these elves are really talented.

After mastering the Phoenix Rune model, it will not be difficult to learn this spell.

A week later, at the training ground of Rivendell Palace, King Elrond was concentrating on performing magic spells and gestures perfectly. The next second, powerful magic power was released from his body, and elemental energy quickly gathered.

"Wow!"

With a phoenix cry, dazzling golden light burst out in the sky. An elegant and noble phoenix appeared in the sky.

The golden-red wings flapped gently, and dots of golden light fell from its wings, then slowly disappeared. The phoenix flapped its wings, and its body spun lightly in the sky, leaving dots of golden-red light behind it, like a phantom.

"It's so beautiful!" The elves around looked at the phoenix flying in the sky with envy.

Elderon waved his hand gently, and the phoenix shrank lightly, its light shone, and its body shrank rapidly, finally landing on his arm. Elderon's eyes were filled with joy as he looked at the phoenix.

"Congratulations, you have successfully summoned the phoenix!" Richard said with a smile.

Eldron said: "Thank you for your guidance. You are the most honorable friend of the Valley Elf Kingdom!"

"I'm honored!" Richard said with a smile.

"The sacred fire of the Phoenix is ​​a powerful weapon to fight against darkness. It should be very suitable for you."

"thanks for your help."

"I have decided to add a phoenix pattern to the flag of Rivendell." Elderon said to the elves around him.

The elves around cheered.

There are many books in Rivendell. The elves have accumulated a lot of knowledge over thousands of years. Richard focused on the parts about magic and just glanced through the other books.

Elderon arranged for an elf named Aranda to be Richard's guide.

Aranda took Richard to tour the entire Rivendell. Rivendell was built in a valley, but the city was not narrow and cramped.

The natural landscapes of mountains, water, forests, grasslands, lakes and waterfalls are perfectly integrated with the surrounding palaces and houses. There are huge hunting grounds, training grounds and pastures here. All kinds of beautiful scenery are visible.

At night, the sky turns blue and the whole city lights up with soft magic lights. It must be said that this city is very suitable for living.

Richard visited the Elf Arsenal here, where all the equipment was forged using an alloy called Elf Steel.

"As you can see, our weapons are all forged with this elven steel." Aranda said as he picked up a half-finished elven sword.

"It's a very good weapon." Richard tried it in his hand. It felt just right and was light, so he flicked the sword's spine with his hand.

"Zheng~"

A melodious sword sound was heard.

Richard discovered that all of these elven weapons had effects such as [Toughness], [Sharpness], [Armor Breaking], and [Evil Breaking], and they were all enchanted weapons. All of the weapons were basically enhanced by +5, and the peak of transcendence was only one step away from becoming a legendary weapon.

The weapon forging here uses assembly line division of labor and cooperation. Only a few unique weapons will be forged by the forging master.

Elf steel is an alloy smelted by the elves. Richard tested it and found that this metal has good magic conductivity and tough texture. Although it is not as good as Titanium and Vibranium overall, it is much stronger than the magic titanium alloy.

This metal is more suitable for making steel golems than the magic titanium alloy. Vibranium Titanium has always been expensive. Even if Richard has the Reality Stone, he cannot make it at will.

After all, using the Reality Stone to make a wish is not without cost. Otherwise, Thanos wouldn't have lost so much strength after snapping his fingers.

At first, the Iron Golem used a lot of magic titanium alloy, and finally coated the surface of the Iron Golem with a layer of magic vibranium. Now that Richard saw a metal better than magic titanium alloy, he would naturally not let it go.

If appropriate, he plans to use elven steel to replace the magic titanium alloy in the future.

"The smelting process of elven steel is quite complicated. There is information in the library and you can check it yourself." Seeing Richard testing the elven steel again, Aranda next to him said with a smile.

"Thank you for your reminder." Richard said.

"Don't be so polite, Richard. You are now the most welcome guest in the Elf Territory. You can use all these things at will." Aranda said.

There are not many elves in the valley, and there are less than tens of thousands of elves in the entire city. Their long lives have allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth. Over thousands of years, they have countless supplies and equipment of all kinds.

The elves around him were very friendly to Richard along the way, and many of them gave him many small gifts, including gem bracelets, brooches, etc. Each gift was made very delicately and beautifully.

In the evening, Richard once again attended the banquet hosted by Eldron in the palace.

"Welcome our best friend Richard." This banquet was held to celebrate the elves having their own phoenix. It could be said that this banquet was more grand than the last one.

The elves tend to eat light food, but that doesn't mean they don't eat meat. The wine produced here is also very good. And their cooking skills are very good. In Richard's opinion, they are not inferior to those halflings who are good at cooking.

After all, in their long lives, they had plenty of time to learn various skills, including cooking. Therefore, the food at the banquet was very good. As for why the dwarves came here and the table was full of vegetables with almost no seasoning, it was what they deserved.

Those dwarves were able to enter Rivendell because of Gandalf's favor. Otherwise, the elves would not allow the dwarves to come here.

Richard lives a very comfortable life here, eating elf food, watching elf dances and listening to elf music.

The elves' songs and dances were performed with magic, and every time Richard watched them, he was amazed. Thinking of magic, Richard suddenly said, "King Elon, I heard that the elves forged the Three Rings of Elf. Can I see them?"

Eldron was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Of course."

As he said this, he took off the Ring of Air from his hand, Via, and handed it to Richard.

"The Three Rings of the Elves, the Nine Rings of Men, and the Seven Rings of the Dwarves were all created by Sauron's knowledge and will be bound by the One Ring."

"Without Sauron's manipulation of the Three Rings of the Elves, the binding force was much smaller, but the Seven Rings of the Dwarves and the Nine Rings of Men were greatly affected. Especially the Nine Rings of Men. Those kings who wore the Nine Rings of Men eventually became slaves of the Lord of the Rings and minions of Sauron."

Richard nodded seriously: "I will pay attention."

As he spoke, Richard checked the elven ring in his hand. This elven ring was forged with gold, elven steel and mithril. It was engraved with a large number of elven runes and inlaid with a pure sapphire.

"System, scan it."

A flash of light flashed, and it quickly scanned the Elf Ring. The details of the Elf Ring appeared in front of Richard.

[Item: One of the three elves' rings, the Ring of Air, Wei Ya. Level: Legendary level 3.

Materials: gold, elven steel, mithril, sapphire, etc.
Effect: Healing: Possesses powerful healing abilities that can heal almost all injuries, including near-death injuries.

Protection: The Ring of Air, Via, can form a powerful magic barrier to protect the owner of the ring. The magic barrier can resist a ten-ring spell.

Guardian: The Ring of Air, Via, can create a magic barrier to protect an area. Before the barrier is broken, it will not be harmed. The current protected area is Rivendell.

Note: The current ring is bound by the One Ring. 】

Richard returned the Ring of Air, Via, to Eldron, and said, "Superb magical skills."

"Elrond, I want to forge a powerful ring to protect myself. I want your knowledge of the ring. In exchange, I can help you bless the Ring of Air, Via, so that it will not be affected by the One Ring."

Elrond looked at Richard in surprise: "Wizard Richard, can you block Sauron's influence?"

"Of course." Richard said with a smile.

"Great, after the banquet, I will take you to see Jiang Wei Ya's forging methods and knowledge." Because it involves Sauron, in order to prevent Sauron from secretly corrupting other elves, this knowledge is kept strictly confidential.

Soon the banquet was over, and Richard and Elrond came to the study in the palace. Elrond handed one of the parchment scrolls to Richard.

"This parchment scroll contains Sauron's knowledge. If we use the knowledge on it to forge the Lord of the Rings, it will definitely be influenced by Sauron."

"I understand, I won't use this knowledge directly." Richard said.

Knowing that there were problems with this knowledge, Richard would not force himself to accept it. He would definitely filter the knowledge on it. Richard opened the parchment scroll, which contained a large amount of knowledge, and he quickly finished reading it.

Then he returned the scroll to Elrond.

"Now I will help you cut off the link to the One Ring on the ring."

"Do you need me to prepare anything?" Elderon asked.

Richard shook his head and said, "No need."

Although there is a bond between the One Ring and the Three Rings of the Elves, this bond is not too strong. Otherwise, the elves would not use these three rings.

Richard drew a magic circle and placed the Elf Ring into the circle. He planned to use the power of space to sever the connection between the Elf Ring and the One Ring.

Powerful energy gathered in Richard. Elderon was shocked when he saw Richard burst out with such powerful force. This kind of force was extremely powerful even in the first and second eras.

Since the First and Second Ages, after the two great wars, the creator god Ilúvatar felt that their power was too great and would cause too much damage to the world and the earth. At the same time, they believed that only by awakening the conscience and faith of mortals and through their own hard work would the victory they achieved be cherished.

Therefore, all the Maia and the first generation of elves had their powers restricted. This was also the reason why Richard did not dare to use his power recklessly, because if he really destroyed the world, what would he do if the God of Creation Ilúvatar came to trouble him?
Richard did not have such restrictions, and the spells he could cast were more powerful. That was why he was able to forcibly block the connection between the rings created by Sauron with magic.

Powerful magic power gathered quickly, and Richard tapped lightly. Under his control, the magic power quickly condensed into runes, and then these runes connected with each other, and finally became rune chains.

The golden rune chains wrapped around the ring, and soon the chains wrapped around the ring completely, eventually forming a complete rune array on it.

As the last rune chain was completed, a golden light rose and a powerful spatial force appeared, forming a spatial barrier directly on the ring.

In Richard's spiritual vision, the line that originally connected to an unknown place was forcibly blocked by the space array. The chain that the Supreme Magic Ring relied on to bind the Ring of Air, Weiya, was forcibly cut off by Richard.

"Ding-ling!" The Ring of Air, Via, fell from mid-air. Richard picked up the magic ring and saw that there was a circle of delicate and fine lines on the originally golden surface of the ring. These lines looked like circles of patterns, which were the rune array blessed by Richard.

These lines have no effect on the other functions of the ring, they can only block the connection between it and the One Ring. Sauron can no longer influence this ring through the One Ring, and thus influence the elves.

"Thank you for fulfilling your mission!" Richard said with a smile, handing the ring in his hand to Elrond.

Elrond put on the ring and sensed it carefully. Just as Richard said, the function of the ring was not affected at all, and the original hidden passage leading to the One Ring had been cut off by a powerful force of space.

"I can't feel it at all!" Elderon said in surprise.

"You can use this magic ring with confidence from now on." Richard said.

"Thank you Sir Richard for your help!" Elderon said happily.
