97 Sword from the North
Although Charle's reputation in Gondolinne was much louder than he was at first, his narrow social interaction remained the same.
During the three months he lived in Gondolin, he rarely contacted outsiders except for members of the royal family and some elves who worked or studied.
This also caused rumors that Charle was withdrawn and unspeakable.
So much so that some elves who knew his true identity were quite surprised by this, wondering how a king could be so introverted?
But in fact, Charles is just avoiding some meaningless social behaviors. In his opinion, that is just a waste of time and has nothing to do with his purpose of coming here.
Turgon said this several times, but unfortunately there was no effect, so he could only let it go.
However, in addition to some necessary personnel, there is actually a very special existence that Shire has contact with.
That's the Big Eagle.
In the past, when he was in the Land of Seven Rivers, he met and "made friends" with a special eagle.
At that time, he thought the eagle was not ordinary.
Later he was able to deal with the angry giant for a long time without being crushed to death, and the eagle made a lot of contributions to this.
He originally thought that the eagle might never see it again after leaving. However, when he arrived in Gondolin, he suddenly realized that the guy was actually the "local eagle" here!
It is the leader of the Manway Eagle and an affiliated person of the Eagle King Sorondo, called Gewaihil.
Because of everything in the past, Charles and the eagle were at least considered to be sharing weal and sad, so their relationship was actually pretty good.
Charles did not think that the eagle was a beast because it possessed very high intelligence and could even speak.
This may be because his boss is a Maiya, or he may be a Maiya himself.
In short, although it was an eagle, by chance, he became one of the few friends here by Charles.
During this busy and fulfilling time in Charles, Gervail often came to visit him and occasionally brought some gifts he thought were great.
Rare flowers and fruits in the mountains, plump rabbits, rare saplings, and even brightly colored poisonous snakes...
So gradually, Charles was used to the eagle's seemingly mighty and heroic style, but in fact it was a bit nonsensical.
However, no matter what it brought in the past, it was not as special as the sword that was placed in front of Charles at this time.
That's right, sword.
A silver-gray, blood groove is straight, with a curved handguard, and a very exquisite sword!
"Angeweiriel?"
Charles seemed familiar with the sword, but as an elves who had contacted more than he had, Aritiel recognized it at a glance.
Because the eagle screamed loudly, she also heard the movement and walked out.
What she saw at this time made her even more excited, "This is your father's sword! How could this...be it be obtained by the Big Eagle?"
Charles knew why, because before Gervail left, he had already "asked" the reason for the sword.
That was obtained in the northern Adgarland Plain.
The surrounded Angban often rushed out of the orc attackers to explore the virtual and real lines of the encirclement. The sword was held in the hands of a certain attacker.
Fengon, the eldest son of King Fenguo, the king of the supreme king of Nodo, obtained the sword after repelling the enemy.
Because the dark elf Eoer once visited his father, he recognized who the master of the sword was at first sight.
Because his younger brother Turgon had written a letter asking them to help him pay attention to the location of Eor, he asked a big eagle active on the northern encirclement to send the sword over.
After explaining softly with Arethir, this person seemed full of worry.
What does Eor's sword mean when a half-orc holds it in his hand?
If it was an ordinary sword, it wouldn't have made her think a lot, but this sword was not ordinary.
Its name is Angweirel, which was created by Eor in his early years with a meteorite from outside the sky. After the sword is completed, it can cut off any weapon made of mortal iron in the world!
Angweirel has always been regarded as life by Eor. Even when he encountered an orc attack and thought he had no hope of escaping, he solemnly entrusted the sword to Arethir, obviously treating it as an extremely precious heirloom.
Later, after Eor was rescued, he found Arethir in Dorias. While quarreling and scolding, he took the sword away and disappeared, until now.
"Don't think too much, maybe it was just left out by accident."
Charles spoke to comfort his cheap mother, but not to mention that Arethel did not believe this, even he himself could hardly persuade him like this.
The father who had been looking for a cheap man for decades had an accident, and this possibility accounted for more than 80%.
What an accident?
If it's just a simple injury, it's okay, but if...
Charles secretly felt something was wrong, but at this time there was no news except a sword, and he could not confirm his guess.
"I want to go to the north to find him. Since this sword appears in the north, your father must be there! I know him. If he really leaves Angweirel, he will never give up finding it. Yes, he..."
"It would be useless for you to go to the north. Since Uncle Fengong helps to find it, you will not have much success rate if you have more than you. On the contrary, if you really leave here, it will definitely make Uncle Turgong worry."
Charles spoke to persuade the excited Arethir, and the other party gradually calmed down.
"Then...we're waiting here?" Arethier, who vaguely regarded Charles as his backbone, seemed a little at a loss at this time.
"Yes, wait for news."
Charles rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If it was just a simple accident, then Uncle Fengon will be able to find my father sooner or later. If he really encountered the worst case, he would not die. You should have heard that Morgoth loved elves the most and never killed many times because they were superb skills and could help mine and forge weapons. The former needs to wait for a reply from the north, and the latter... If it is really the latter, then there is no other way but to break through Angban, and it is useless to hurry. In short, you go and rest, I will pay attention to this matter."
His tone was firm, but his heart was actually full of uncertainty.
However, this sentence temporarily put an end to the sudden accident. Arethel, full of anxiety, calmed down and was finally persuaded by Charles to go back.
Charles looked up at the snowy sky, and was a little confused for a moment.
What would Eor do if he was really caught by Angban?
Indifferent?
Obviously impossible.
Try to rescue?
Not capable enough...
Thoughts flowed in my mind, thinking about what to do when the worst case scenario, thinking about the skills that I just made a breakthrough.
Thinking about when the talents you have will change qualitatively again, and whether you can find a path to actively improve.
I thought about thinking about learning spells too much before, but I didn’t care about it because of the jewelry issue...
In the end, all his thoughts were swept away by him, and there was still only one sentence in his mind - wait for the news first and do whatever he should do.
So he didn't think about it much for now, went back to his room, lay in bed and tried to make himself sleep.
The next morning, the atmosphere at breakfast seemed a bit dull.
But then Charles returned to his normal routine, went out to the library to learn language and writing, and came back at noon to continue his unfinished research.
In the workroom, light flashed one after another, but the results were still very bad, either the jewelry was covered with dust or the cracks appeared inside.
Time passed, and it was another month since Charles developed this method.
This month was calm and there was no other incident except for heavy snow every now and then, and no news came from the north.
It seems to be very bad, but it seems to make people full of luck.
The warm stove burns the newly mined black ore. This winter, red heat waves bloom everywhere in the well-prepared Gondolin City.
In this special atmosphere, on a sunny afternoon, Charles finally created a finished product.
