Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 337 Heading to the Gray Elf Kingdom (Part )

In Middle-earth, behind the elven city, a newly built castle stands there.

This castle, built under George's guidance and with the cooperation of humans and elves, is a new college modeled after Hogwarts Castle.

And George is the principal of this college.

At this time, in the principal's office of the college.

"Unfortunately, Thingol is still unwilling to send troops, and is unwilling to allow the Grey Elves to come here for guidance, learning and communication."

The eldest prince Finrod couldn't help but sigh at his human friend George.

Most of the plans during this period went smoothly. At the call of Bregolas and Barahir, humans scattered around the place basically came to live in the Elf City.

The central line of defense holding off Angband had also been reestablished.

The two dwarf clans of Firebeard and Broadbeam from the Blue Mountains also sent people over, intending to work together with the elves to create magical equipment that could resist the magic fire.

In this way, humans, elves, and dwarves will no longer be passive opponents when facing the army of Balrogs and the possible reappearance of dragons.

Unfortunately, the Grey Elves, who currently occupy the largest number of elves on the entire human continent and also have a powerful Maia, that is, the branch of their maternal uncle Thingol, refused all cooperation.

The reason is simple. He is still brooding over the murder of the sea elf, and he cannot forgive the fact that one of the seven sons of Fíno kidnapped his daughter Lucien.

He will not help the Noldor elves to attack Morgoth or help the seven sons of Fëanor to regain the Silmarils.

“If the mountain won’t come to see me, then I will go to see the mountain.”

Hearing the sigh of the eldest prince Finrod, George thought for a moment and said:
"Finnrod, I want to go to the Grey Elves' kingdom to visit Thingol."

During this period, he was not idle. He had been communicating with the Noldor elves about magic and had a deeper understanding of their magic system.

Since most of the Noldor elves are taught by Aulë, the god of forging and earth, they are not as proficient in magic as the Vanyar elves. They are better at infusing magical power into the forged items to make them into magical items.

The strength of the Noldor comes more from the power contained in their bodies under the illumination of the Two Trees.

The dwarves created by Aulë were also good at forging, and their craftsmanship was not inferior to, or even better than, the elves, but they could not incorporate various magics into their equipment as easily as the Noldor elves.

George has been studying alchemy recently, and the elves' enchanted forging has been very helpful to him, but he still wants to get a better understanding of the magic of this world.

The three people from the Gray Elf Kingdom were very helpful to him in studying and understanding the magic of this world.

One of them was the future Elf Queen Galadriel, who had Vanyar blood and had also learned the magic of the Vanyar elves in Valinor.

The second is Lucien, who is known as the most beautiful elf. Her sleeping magic can even put Morgoth into a deep sleep.

The last and most important one is the only god he can contact now that he can't go to Valinor, Maia Melian.

He used his own power to create a ring of Melian, an alien dimension, around the kingdom to protect the entire Grey Elf Kingdom from the invasion of Morgoth. His divine power was second only to that of the ordinary Valar.

"George, are you really going to visit Thingol?"

Hearing George's words, the eldest prince Finrod was stunned.

In his opinion, even his two younger brothers went to visit Thingol together and asked their sister Galadriel, who had been living there, to help, but they still couldn't persuade Thingol. So it was useless for George to go.

George smiled:
"In fact, I think the two reasons you just mentioned are not the main reasons why Thingol refused."

"Oh, tell me more about it." Finrod immediately showed an interested look.

George explained:
“You must know that we only invited Thingol to help defend and drive away the Balrog army that has entered Beleriand and wreaked havoc. We did not say that we would counterattack Angband and take back the Silmarils for Fëanor.

Moreover, the seven princes of Fëanor are scattered in the east and are fleeing everywhere."

"So what you mean is"

A hint of understanding gradually appeared on Finrod's face.

George continued:

"The Grey Elf Kingdom has a history of nearly four thousand years since its establishment.

For the past four thousand years, under the protection of Melian, the Grey Elves have lived a stable and peaceful life.

If they were asked to help deal with the army of Balrogs now, there would definitely be casualties, which Thingol, as the King of the Grey Elves, did not want to see.

Even if the Balrog army is driven back to Angband, what good will it bring to the Grey Elves?
As for coming to the elven city of Dorthonion to communicate magic, it is even more unnecessary.

Thingol had never seen my magic, and thought that the magic used by humans like us, who had only appeared a short time ago, could not be very powerful, and would not help the Grey Elves, so naturally he was unwilling to come. "

Elves are intelligent beings, and as intelligent beings they have emotions and desires, and they will seek benefits and avoid harm. Even Valamaia is like this.

As the king of the Grey Elves, Thingol must put the safety of his people first, so it is only natural that he would not agree to come out to deal with Morgoth.

However, it was precisely because the Grey Elves had always stayed out of the matter and relied too much on the Girdle of Melian that Morgoth continued to grow stronger and the Grey Elves were almost completely wiped out.

Melian was willing to protect the Grey Elves entirely because of her husband and daughter.

Later, Thingol was killed by dwarves because of the necklace inlaid with the Silmarils. His daughter died and turned into a human. Melian returned to Valinor heartbroken, and the Grey Elf Kingdom lost its protection.

The Grey Elf Kingdom, which has the largest number of elves in the entire continent, was massacred by the Blue Mountain Dwarf army because of its long-term peace and prosperity. If the nearly seventy-year-old human Beren had not come to support it, it would have been almost wiped out.

But later they were still slaughtered by the brothers Maedhros, who were tortured and driven mad by the oath of the Silmarils, and only a few of them were left.

If Thingol had helped and protected the defense line when Morgoth counterattacked, although a lot of Grey Elves would have been lost, the Grey Elves would have experienced the tempering of war and would not have been easily breached by the Dwarves later.

"So you are going to demonstrate your magic to Thingol?"

Prince Finrod now understood everything.

George nodded:

"Yes, if Thingol understands the power of human magic, he will naturally be tempted.

Then I will have a good chat with him. Even if he is still unwilling to send troops to help, he should at least be willing to send people to the Elf City to exchange magic."

"Okay, I will inform my sister and ask her to pick you up at the edge of the forest in Doriath and bring you into the kingdom of the Grey Elves."

The first prince Finrod made the decision.

Outsiders were forbidden to enter the Grey Elves' Kingdom, but Thingol was the great-uncle of the three siblings, so it was not a big problem for him to bring a few people in.
