Chapter 12 Temptation

Gao Yuan went to find Elrond under the leadership of Elrohir, and the two chatted happily along the way.

"I heard from my father, Gaoyuan, are you going to join Gandalf and the dwarves in their adventure to the Lonely Mountain?" Elrohir was very curious.

Gao Yuan did not expect that Elrohir would already know about the agenda set during the meeting in the morning.

"Yes, this is Lord Galadriel's arrangement. She thinks I might be able to provide some help to Gandalf." Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head, indicating that he did not actively ask to join.

Elrohir expressed that he envied Gao Yuan for being able to participate in this mission.

It had been a long time since he and his brother had participated in such a fun adventure.

Today's Middle-earth has been peaceful for a long time, and they are now even reduced to the point where they have to take a child on a trip.

Gao Yuan shook his head, there was an evil dragon named Smaug there.

"Conquering Smaug is not a fun adventure."

Regarding Smaug's terror, Elrohir agreed and nodded solemnly.

"Indeed, I'm afraid no one in this world wants to face a terrifying monster like Smaug."

Arriving at a gorgeous hall, Elrond had been waiting here for a long time.

Elrond stood upright in front of a mural. He was admiring the mural depicting the "Battle of the Last Alliance".

This is the final battle of the Last Alliance War.

Isildur lay on the ground and held the hilt of the sword, raised the holy sword named Narsil, and cut off the Supreme Lord of the Rings from Sauron's hand with the broken blade.

After bringing Gaoyuan to Elrond, Elrohir turned and left.

Gao Yuan stood behind Elrond, also admiring the masterpiece.

"A very vivid painting, perfectly showing that great victory." Gao Yuan couldn't help but praise.

Elrond shook his head. He would never forget that battle. The scenes from that year were still clearly printed in his mind, as if they happened yesterday.

"It's far from a victory. The Supreme Lord of the Rings has not been destroyed. Sauron may still come back."

Gao Yuan knew about that past, and failing to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings was the elf lord's lifelong regret.

When Elrond and Isildur were preparing to destroy the Lord of the Rings, in front of the lava of Mount Doom, Isildur was tempted by the Ring. Instead of destroying the Ring, he chose to keep it for himself, so Sauron still

There is a possibility of a comeback.

"His Royal Highness Elrohir said that you wish to talk to me, Lord Elon."

Elrond turned around and looked at Gao Yuan. He still couldn't understand Gao Yuan's handsome face with oriental charm.

"Ranger Gao Yuan, I know very little about you."

"You are neither an elf nor a Maia, but an ordinary human being, but you possess such powerful power, which has to arouse my suspicion."

"Can you tell me where the power you use to fight Saruman comes from?"

Gao Yuan didn't understand what Elrond meant. Was he bewitched by Saruman's power? He suspected that he was Sauron or Sauron's lackey?

"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Elrond. My power does not come from the gift of others."

Elrond obviously didn't believe Gao Yuan's words, and his eyes became very cold.

His hand has slowly touched the hilt of the elf sword at his waist.

"It's not a gift from others, so is it a gift from other things?"

Gao Yuan finally came to his senses.

Emotion made an appointment with him in front of the mural of the Last Alliance Battle, and then asked about the source of his power, because he suspected that he had obtained the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

Gao Yuan raised his hands and placed ten fingers in front of Elrond.

He activated his telekinesis and took the largest fragment of the Holy Sword of Nasil in front of him, floating between Gao Yuan and Elrond.

"This is the power of the spirit. If you have to say where this power comes from, Lord Elrond. My answer is that this power comes from my soul."

"There is no need to use any external objects, such as the Supreme Lord of the Rings as you doubt; nor to chant any spells; nor to be given by anyone!!!"

"Follow your heart and do whatever you want."

Gao Yuan's voice suddenly began to tremble, and his psychic power caused the air and other items in the room to vibrate crazily.

"this is... my will..."

(This is...my will!!!)

Elrond's face was full of shock and disbelief, and his gray eyes were now as wide as two dragon eyes.

Gao Yuan withdrew his telekinesis, and the room fell into a dead silence. Gao Yuan personally handed the fragments of the holy sword into the hands of Elrond, who was in a state of shock.

I don't know how long it took before Elrond came out of his state of shock.

He no longer had much hostility towards Gao Yuan at this time. He sat calmly in front of Gao Yuan, and the two men looked at each other in silence.

"Gao Yuan, you should know the story of the human hero Beren and the elf Luthien, right?"

Elrond was not the first person to mention this story to Gao Yuan.

Although this story has been circulating in Middle-earth for thousands of years.

Elrond did not wait for Gao Yuan's answer, but kept to himself.

"They were the first couple of humans and elves in history, and most people know their love story."

"However, few people know that my brother Elros, the first king of Valinor, and I are descendants of the two of them."

"After the final Wrath of the First Age, the Valar gave us two brothers the right to choose - to become humans or elves."

Although Gao Yuan knew that Elrond's lineage had the right to choose to become a human or an elf, he did not expect that it would come like this.

He didn't even know that Elrond was actually the descendant of Beren and Lúthien. After all, this was a story as early as the First Era, and he didn't even know about the War of Wrath.

"To become an elf, we must accept the fate that the Ainur's great music has arranged for us." Elrond continued to tell.

"If he chooses to become a human being, he will no longer be bound by the destiny of the Great Movement, but he will eventually come to the end of his life and experience human birth, old age, illness and death."

"Elros chose to become a human, so his descendants are humans; and I chose to become an elf, but my descendants still have the right to choose."

Elrond took a deep breath, and then sighed: "My beloved daughter Arwen did not have to face a choice, but your appearance forced her to choose between you and me."

At this point, Elrond's meaning became very clear. He was persuading Gao Yuan to leave Arwen.

Gao Yuan didn't understand why Elrond knew it now. He had never been in contact with Arwen in Rivendell, and the two had not really confirmed their relationship.

"Lord Galadriel told you?"

Elrond shook his head. His mother-in-law would probably never forgive him for the harm he had caused to her daughter.

"Yawen, she is my daughter, how could I not know what she is thinking."
