Chapter 337: Woodland Elf Kingdom
Time passed quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Galadriel arrived with the book of the Golden Forest. In order to obtain the summoning phoenix, Galadriel went all out.

After getting these books, Richard gave the scroll of the spell to summon the phoenix to Galadriel and asked her to learn it. Galadriel's power was the strongest among the three elf leaders.

Learning to summon a phoenix is ​​not difficult. With this spell scroll, you can learn it quickly.

On the other hand, after the dwarves got the help of Elrond to decipher the secret, they stayed in Rivendell for about a week and then left the Elf Kingdom directly.

In a meeting held not long ago, Saruman did not agree with them going to Lonely Mountain, but Gandalf insisted on going. As for Elrond and Galadriel, they did not express their opinions, but actually they were biased towards Gandalf.

Otherwise, he would not have helped Gandalf to decipher the code of the map.

Next, the dwarves took Bilbo on their journey secretly, while Richard taught Galadriel how to summon the phoenix and then headed for the Woodland Kingdom.

Compared to Rivendell, there are more magical animals in the Woodland Kingdom, such as Thranduil's giant horned deer. His giant horned deer is tall and majestic, very majestic, and powerful. Richard wants to collect magical animals, so he will not let go of this deer.

Richard asked Elrond for a map and a letter of introduction, then took out the magic carpet and flew towards the Woodland Kingdom.

The magic carpet was moving very fast. Richard lay on it and set an automatic navigation. The carpet then went to the Woodland Kingdom on its own.

Around the afternoon, the flying carpet arrived at the Woodland Kingdom. The Woodland Kingdom was located in a vast forest, which was lush and green, but on the other side of the forest, there was a clear distinction.

The trees here have completely withered and died, the dry trees are twisted and deformed, and the whole forest is shrouded in a layer of fog. This forest has been eroded by the power of darkness, and it is still eroding outward.

Richard took a look and then flew to the Woodland Kingdom, which was also protected by magic, so Richard did not force his way in. Compared to Rivendell, the elves in the Woodland Kingdom had trade relations with Long Lake Town.

Richard arrived at the border of the Woodland Kingdom and soon discovered a famous wood elf.

"Hello, wood elf!" Richard appeared in front of the wood elf.

The sudden appearance of a figure startled the wood elf, and the wood elf Ge Rong subconsciously did a backflip and jumped onto the tree, and took out a bow and arrow and pointed it at Richard. The whole process took no more than a second.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm." Richard spread his hands and said.

"Who are you?" Ge Rong did not relax his vigilance and still pointed the bow and arrow at Richard.

Richard said: "I am a wizard. This is a letter of introduction from Lord Elrond. I would like to meet your king."

"A letter from King Elon?" A hint of surprise appeared on Ge Rong's face, and then he said, "Wait here, I will go and inform His Majesty the King."

As he spoke, Ge Rong released the bow and arrow, then blew a whistle. Soon, several wood elves appeared in the forest. These wood elves continued to guard Richard, while that wood elf went to report with a letter.

Not long after, footsteps were heard, and then a majestic and beautiful big-horned deer appeared in front of him. Then a handsome elf with a wreath on his head appeared in front of him.

This elf might be the most handsome elf Richard had ever met since he entered Middle-earth, but on the other half of his face, there was a horrible scar. It was caused by the poisonous fire of the dragon, and it had never healed, so Thranduil could only cover it with magic.

"Welcome to the Woodland Kingdom, Mr. Wizard Richard!" Thranduil turned over and stepped forward and said.

"Hello, King Thranduil." Richard said with a smile.

Then the group walked through the woods and arrived at a palace under the protection of many elves. The palace gate opened, and Thranduil walked into the palace with Richard and the elf prince Legolas.

The decoration of this palace is very simple, and it is almost entirely built of wood. The entire Woodland Kingdom is almost completely integrated with trees. Unlike the city of Rivendell. The Woodland Kingdom is completely a tree city, and all the buildings in the city are big trees.

The roads are made of tree branches, the houses are tree houses, and the palaces are also built from a large number of trees, completely close to nature.

Everyone came to the center of the hall and sat down. Thranduil smiled and said, "Some time ago, I heard that a powerful wizard came to Middle-earth and could summon a magical and beautiful phoenix and had the power to fight against evil. Today I finally meet you."

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just an ordinary wizard." Richard said.

"If you are mediocre, then I think there will be no more outstanding wizards in this world." Thranduil shook his head.

Hearing that Richard was so actively praised by his father, the elf prince Legolas next to him looked at Richard curiously, as if he wanted to see what was different about him.

"I wonder what business has brought you to the Woodland Kingdom, Your Excellency the Wizard?" asked Thranduil.

"I want to take a look at the knowledge and various magics preserved in the Woodland Kingdom. I am willing to exchange the spell to summon the Phoenix." Richard said.

As he spoke, Richard gently patted the phoenix on his shoulders, and the phoenix immediately spread its wings and flew up, then transformed back into its original form in mid-air. All the elves were fascinated by the beautiful and elegant sacred phoenix in the sky.

"A truly beautiful, elegant and powerful creature, simply perfect!" Thranduil exclaimed.

It can be said that the Phoenix is ​​very attractive to the elves. Whether it is the elves in Middle-earth or the gods of Aman, they all love the Phoenix. If the reputation is digitized, the moment Richard summons the Phoenix, the reputation of the elf camp will skyrocket.

It’s really a great tool for making friends.

Generally speaking, whether it is the elves or the gods of Aman, they are all obsessed with looks, and of course Richard also has this tendency.

"Sir, do you want to see our collection of books? I agree. You are free to view all the books and magic in the Woodland Kingdom." Thranduil turned his eyes away from the phoenix and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I want to make a deal with you." Richard continued.

"What do you want?" asked Thranduil.

Richard said, "I want all kinds of flora and fauna from the Woodland Kingdom, especially those magical animals."

"If there are only one or two of those animals living here, it's okay, but if there are too many, it will affect the forest." said Thranduil.

"Don't worry about that. I know how to select two pairs of cubs for each magical beast."

"This is what I want to exchange." Richard took out the elf ring.

Seeing the ring, Thranduil was very surprised and said: "This is the power of the three rings of the elves!"

As a high elf, Thranduil had naturally seen the power of the three elven rings. The ring in front of him was not any of the three elven rings, but it possessed all the power of the three elven rings. How could he not be surprised?

"Yes, this ring has all the power of the three elves' rings." Richard said with a smile: "I have blocked the power of Sauron on the ring. You can use it without worry. His power can no longer affect the user!"

"Are you really willing to give me this ring?" Thranduil looked at Richard in surprise. He knew very well how powerful this ring was.

"Of course, this ring was forged by me based on the Three Rings of the Elven. It is not important to me." Richard said indifferently. This elven ring was his practice work. It also contained the power of Sauron and could not be upgraded any further.

In order to continue upgrading the ring, Sauron's power must be eliminated, and Richard needs to make a new ring.

"Thank you for your generosity, Sir Richard. You are the most distinguished guest of the Woodland Elf Kingdom." Thranduil said solemnly.

"I'm honored." Richard nodded.

Richard was assured of the elves' promise. Even if thousands of years passed, they would keep their promise. Even if dozens of generations of human descendants found the elves, the elves would still abide by their previous promise.

Richard handed the elven ring to Thranduil. After Thranduil put on the ring, he immediately felt a powerful magic power entering his body. At the same time, the illusion on his face disappeared at this moment, revealing the horrible scar.

The power of the elven ring began to burst out from his body. A powerful life force began to repair his face. At the same time, the evil-breaking power in the ring began to dispel the evil power in his wounds.

Soon the fire dragon's dragon flame power was dispelled, and the healing power healed the wound on its face. In just a moment, the old wound on Thranduil's face disappeared.

Feeling this powerful force, Thranduil felt even more grateful to Richard.

Next, Richard looked through the various knowledge of the Woodland Elf Kingdom and the magic they mastered. In addition to this knowledge, the Woodland Elf Kingdom also sent two pairs of cubs of various magical animals.

Including Thranduil's majestic giant-horned deer. This giant-horned deer is the leader of the giant-horned deer clan. It has many children. Thranduil selected two pairs of the smartest and strongest fawns and gave them to Richard.

With the help of the wood elves from the Woodland Kingdom, Richard soon found a large number of magical animals.

Unfortunately, there are no giant eagles in the Woodland Kingdom. In Middle-earth, there lives a group of giant eagles. These giant eagles have intelligence that is not inferior to humans, huge wings, strong claws, and can also summon hurricanes.

They can be said to be very powerful magical animals. Richard plans to find time to talk to these giant eagles, and take a few giant eagles back. Then he will build an Eagle Mountain in the demiplane.

In fact, Richard really wanted to collect the legendary Eastern Condors, but the number of these Eastern Condors was too small. These Condors once served the ancient sun god, but after the ancient sun god died, they disappeared.

Even the heir of the Sun God could not make these Eastern Eagles continue to serve him, so it would be even more difficult for Richard to do so. So he planned to use other giant eagles instead.

Of course, because he is the master of a demiplane world, if the demiplane continues to upgrade and becomes a secondary plane, a material plane, or even the main material plane, when the plane is upgraded, these magical animals that he loves will also be promoted.

By then, even if those giant eagles cannot reach the level of the Oriental Condor, they will be comparable to the Byzantine Giant Eagle, a subspecies of the Oriental Condor.

After Richard collected a large number of creatures, he opened up an area in his private space, placed those magical animals in it, and then blessed these creatures with the life hiding technique.

The Life Hiding Technique would put them into a state of suspended animation, without consuming any vitality. Moreover, the Life Hiding Technique could repair their injuries, and when he returned to his demiplane, he could release these magical animals.

In the following time, Richard collected a large number of animals and plants in the Woodland Kingdom, and read all the books and knowledge here.

Richard was sitting in the garden drinking afternoon tea leisurely, while the Elf Prince Legolas was training next to him. Although this Elf Prince had reached adulthood and had lived for thousands of years, Richard felt that he was still in a rebellious period of youth.

He was not happy with his father's arrangements and even always wanted to prove something to his father.

"Legolas!" Richard said.

"What do you want, sir?" Legolas immediately put down his weapon.

"Do you think you are already very powerful?" Richard asked.

"Of course!" Legolas said confidently.

Richard smiled slightly: "How about we give it a try?"

"Sir Richard, aren't you a wizard? Are you sure you want to compete with me?" Legolas said.

"Of course!" Richard said with a smile, "Wizards know more than just spells!"

"That's great!" Legolas said excitedly.

Richard immediately took out a long sword. After the two men stood still, with a shout of "start", Legolas immediately rushed up.

Then Legolas encountered something he would never forget in his life. Richard did not compete with him in skills at all, but directly burst out the power of dragon veins. The powerful force instantly pierced the air and hit Legolas's sword hard.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the long sword in Legolas's hand was instantly knocked away by Richard, and even Legolas' arm felt sore, weak and numb. The competition ended in the first round.

By the time Legolas reacted, Richard's sword was already at his neck.

"You lose!" Richard said.

"I lost!" Legolas was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe what he saw.

The strength that he was so proud of was not able to withstand even one move in front of Richard.

"Okay, don't be discouraged!" Richard shook his head and said, "You should know that your father faced greater difficulties than this, but he never lost heart."

"You still have a lot to learn! Remember to go all out when facing all enemies!"

"I understand!" Legolas came back to his senses and nodded vigorously.
