31 Hidden Crisis
No one knows the length of Ered Ruin, that is, the Blue Mountains.
For the elves who are currently living in Berryander, they only know that the Blue Mountains basically separate Berryander from other areas in Middle-earth.
But the elves still have a little understanding of its width.
Not just the elves, Charles once remembered that it took half a year for the Haradin to cross the blue mountains.
Although this is mainly because of the steep mountain roads and the tribes are too many, it is enough to prove that the Ered Road is huge because of the mountains.
Therefore, in front of this behemoth that has become a world of its own, a narrow but continuous and smooth road would not be discovered if it weren't for the very good luck.
The entrance to the road is located at the bottom of a mountain that should have reached the sky. After entering it, the sides of the surrounding are completely covered by the mountains. Looking up, you can only see the sky like a gap.
There is a narrow mountain broken belt in front and behind the road, with one end leading to the rear exit valley and the other end entering the depths of the mountain. I don’t know how long it is.
"It's coming soon. Behind this road is a mountain plain, where many orcs are building fortresses."
A Nando elf whispered without looking back, staring at the road ahead with a vigilant look, fearing that an unexpected situation would occur there.
Behind him were Charles in black hunter outfits and Calebdill, as well as several other elves who followed Charles to learn the knowledge of potions.
It was noon at this time, but in fact they were not the mountains they entered today, but had been deep for five days.
In five days, I crossed mountain streams, basins in the mountainous areas, towering cliffs and mountain roads along the way, and even walked through a grand canyon with various dark plants growing.
And now, the target is about to be discovered.
So the elves who were already tired were excited when they heard this, and their pace accelerated.
The leading elf is right. When the group finally squeezed through this difficult gap, what was reflected in their eyes was indeed a clear green grass plain.
The plain surface is uneven and surrounded by many mountains. It is green and full of vitality.
A large amount of clear water slowly flowed down from the moss-covered dark mountains, falling on the ground to form a pool, and then winded forward and gathered into a stream.
At the end of the sight where the stream spreads, there is a "construction site" with dense figures.
Although the distance was far, the elves' eyes still allowed them to see clearly what was active on the scene.
"The fortress foundation they built directly blocked the exit. We couldn't know what the road behind this plain looked like, nor did we know where that road led. But their purpose was obvious, to build fortress bases, open up roads in the mountains, and eventually invade our living territory."
The elf leading the way said, with a serious expression.
At this moment, they could see clearly the number of orcs there, which were hundreds!
But those orc slaves who were just construction workers were not seen with protectors or soldiers of the Beast.
Maybe it is because I think this hidden place does not require additional protection, or maybe it is hidden in other places and not discovered.
However, in fact, even the simple orc slaves are not something that they are now able to deal with.
Unless Charles can change again, although his spiritual power has increased at this time, he has no confidence to change just by saying that.
...
After observing for a long time, the group quietly retreated back to the previous road, walked out of the gap before the sun came to a slightly wider valley.
"I need to go back immediately and inform the clan about this!"
As soon as he came out, Calebdill, with a serious face, suddenly spoke.
"Send a letter?"
When Charles thought about it, he suddenly whistled.
So I saw a blue lark suddenly flying over a banyan tree not far from the valley, and it fell on his shoulder and chirped a few times.
Then he turned his head and muttered some strange syllables to the lively little thing.
The five elves around looked at all this and couldn't help but look at each other.
It is said that among the elves who have bathed in the glory of Amen City, there are those who are proficient in bird singing. Could it be that he is one?
It's not right. The Nodo people have returned to Middle-earth for hundreds of years, but Charles is still underage...
Even Calebdill, who claimed to be quite familiar with Charles, was a little silent, let alone other elves.
However, Charles ignored their expressions, but after a simple "communication" with the bird, he spoke: "The Nando tribe is too wide to spread, and it will take a long time to deliver a message. But these little guys can provide some help."
After he finished speaking, the lark with beautiful feathers turned around and chirped at the elves a few times, as if agreeing.
However, relatively speaking, they do not know how to speak birds.
This function is not only for sending letters... Looking at all this, Calebdill suppressed the urge to ask, nodded and said, "I will start writing letters after I get back."
There is no paper in the current era, but the elves have their own ways of doing this. The Nando tribe can write letters with a special leaf and unique ink, and the effect is no worse than paper.
Shire nodded when he heard this, and then whispered a few words to the bird on his shoulder again, and the beautiful little guy flew away with his wings.
Several elves were envious of this.
As they love forests and nature very much, it is particularly interesting to be able to communicate with the real indigenous people in these forests.
However, not to mention that ordinary Nando tribes cannot do this, even their former king, Denethor, does not have the ability.
"Is this magic too?"
Some elves muttered quietly, feeling that this magic was beyond cognition.
His guess is correct, but it is not magic, but talent.
Shire's spiritual talent is not limited to changing appearances, but also affecting the inner world.
Eliminate the special situation with amazing effects. At this time, there are two ways to activate the spiritual ability. One is to hold it in one's own thoughts, just like before, he painted the pipe.
This method has a weak effect and is very expensive, making Charles drowsy every time they are used.
Another way is to have a goal around you to develop various wishes or desires.
Turning straw animals into a living is one of the manifestations of this use. It is also true that communication with birds is now because birds are very eager to communicate with him.
In fact, being able to communicate across races is not only something that humans or elves are very eager for.
This method consumes very little, and it won’t be too tired if you use it more than ten times a day. At most, you can completely recover after a night of sleep.
At this moment, Charles was in normal condition. After sending the bird away, he looked at Kelebdir next to him as if nothing had happened: "I suggest you notify the Cinda or the Nodo tribe. Otherwise, the Nando tribe alone would not be able to deal with this hidden danger."
This makes sense, but Kelebdill's face changed when he heard this: "The Land of Seven Rivers is the territory of the Nando tribe. If the elves of other tribes are called to guard, then is it necessary for the Nando elves to exist?"
He seemed to be very excited, but Charles, who had lived here for ten years, knew about it.
It is said that after the war more than 300 years ago, many green elves threw themselves into the arms of the gray elves kingdom and gave up living in the Nando tribe.
Although nominally, King Singg of Dorias is the monarch of all the elves of Berreand, including the Nando and the Nodo.
But in fact, this is just nominal.
Because he belonged to the first elf king to establish a kingdom in the Berreand area, the territory he first drew was the entire Beerreand, and the other elves were later.
Kelebdill obviously did not want the Nando tribe to completely lose its independence. However, in Charles' view, without external help, the current Green Elf could not even organize any effective response measures.
Charles had a vague guess about this, but as expected, Calebdill suddenly mentioned the old story again and told him about becoming king again.
"In fact, a king does not need to work too much. His Majesty Fenrod of the Nagor Slond has been traveling around Middle-earth in recent years, and even has a lot of communication with our Nando tribes. However, his country is still in an orderly manner and there is no need for the king to personally inquire."
When Charles heard this, he felt quite new, but he still shook his head at it.
But it was not a sign of rejection, but because of another thing.
"You should have known the orcs in the mountains for a long time." He suddenly asked this question.
