Train to Another World.

Chapter 122 Water Ring

Li Zhuoguang took Ariana into the Forest of Lórien. Because Li Zhuoguang had black hair and black eyes, and his appearance was very different from the other races in Middle-earth, the elven scouts patrolling the forest recognized him when they saw him.

In the royal court of Lorien built on the Maelstrom tree, Li Zhaoguang and Ariana met Galadriel and Celeborn.

Li Zhuoguang and Aliana nodded slightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord of Lorraine and Lady Bai."

The two leaders of Luo Rui'an also nodded to Li Zhuoguang in a friendly manner.

Galadriel said, “Before you came, our scouts discovered that the orcs in the Misty Mountains suddenly disappeared.

Although I expected that this mission would be successful given your ability, I did not expect it to be so successful."

Celeborn asked in confusion, "You came to Lórien so soon. Didn't you find what you were looking for in Mount Doom?"

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "I have found what I want. I came here for another thing."

"Appreciate further details."

At that moment, Li Zhuoguang introduced in detail what happened in Ariana's hometown. Celeborn and Galadriel asked questions from time to time, and Ariana answered them one by one through Li Zhuoguang's translation.

After the two elves thought for a moment, Celeborn looked at Galadriel, and when she nodded, he turned back and said to Li Zhuoguang: "Although the light of the Silmarils also has a miraculous effect on the withered earth, we are not sure whether the Star of Earendil can shine to the land outside Middle-earth. So..."

Galadriel walked up to Ariana, gently took off the ring in her hand and handed it to Ariana.

Ariana took it without knowing why. Li Zhuoguang beside her was dumbfounded: "Is this the Water Ring Nengya?! How did you…"

Galadriel smiled and said, "You said before that after you leave this time, you may never return to Middle-earth. You have helped Middle-earth, and now it is my turn to help you. I will naturally do my best."

Celeborn gave a few instructions, and soon an elf brought ten bottles of water from the Water Mirror, in which flowed the light of the Silmarils.

In addition to water, there was also soil in boxes. Li Zhuoguang knew that the soil inside was from Galadriel's back garden, which was also very effective for growing plants.

In the book, Frodo's gardener Sam is given a maelstrom seed and a handful of soil from Galadriel's garden, which he later uses to heal the injuries sustained in the Shire during the War of the Ring.

Now Galadriel gave more than just a handful of soil. Looking at Ariana searching for potatoes in the box of soil, Li Zhuoguang smiled apologetically at Galadriel.

He kicked Ariana imperceptibly to make her stop playing in the mud, and told her the gold content of the box of mud.

After hearing this, Ariana's eyes immediately turned red. She closed the lid of the box tightly and rushed towards Galadriel like a gust of wind. Li Zhuoguang had no time to stop her, and Galadriel didn't want to stop her either.

Li Zhuoguang could only watch in amazement as Ariana rubbed the dirt on her hands and the tears on her face onto Galadriel's white dress.

But Galadriel was not angry at all. Instead, she put her arms around Ariana like a gentle mother and comforted her softly.

Li Zhuoguang shook his head. If it were Li Zhuoguang, he would have kicked her away when he saw her rushing towards him like this. This princess of the Noldor tribe had experienced thousands of years of ups and downs from the time of the Two Sacred Trees to the end of the Third Age...

Galadriel looked at Li Zhuoguang's expression of sudden realization, and seemed to sense that he was thinking about something impolite, so she glared at him coldly.

To celebrate the fall of Sauron and his dark forces, Celeborn kept the two men for a few days so that they could attend their banquet.

Li Zhuoguang sighed to the sky. He knew that the elves' banquet would be a vegetable and fruit platter, but for the sake of politeness, he still ate a lot at the banquet. However, after the banquet, he would secretly hide in the bed of the guest room and eat jerky.

As for the guest room, Galadriel originally only wanted to prepare one, but after Li Zhuoguang's earnest explanation, Galadriel realized that the two of them were not in that kind of relationship.

“I thought you guys…” Li Zhuoguang shook his head like a rattle: “No, we are just comrades-in-arms.”

Galadriel teased, "Even among the elves, she is the most beautiful elf I have ever seen in my life. Are you not moved at all?"

Wow, in my lifetime, this is a really high evaluation. Li Zhuoguang, who was glared at by Galadriel again, answered honestly: "She is just too perfect, so I am not moved at all. In our place, there is a kind of painter called AI, who is particularly good at painting beauties, and the beauties he paints are almost the same as Ariana.

I've seen it so many times, and when I look at Ariana again, it feels extremely unreal, and it's hard to develop any romantic feelings between men and women.

Besides, I'm only human. Maybe I can find a way to extend my lifespan, but I'll age faster than she does, and we're not suitable."

After hearing Li Zhuoguang's explanation, Galadriel asked in confusion, "Why do you think your life span is not as long as hers?"

"Is not it?"

"When I first met you just now, I couldn't even confirm whether you were a human. At least in my perception, you were like the elves who lived in Aman for a long time, with an endless lifespan."

Galadriel's words made Li Zhuoguang silent. After a long while, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I found myself a black-hearted boss who wants me to work for him forever."

Seeing that he was not interested in talking about this topic, Galadriel did not ask further questions.

Three days later, Li Zhuoguang and Ariana set out on their journey home again. Li Zhuoguang put on his iron armor again, wanting to return to Lonely Mountain as soon as possible.

But this time, Ariana refused to let Li Zhuoguang carry her on her back and fly no matter what.

"I do not want!"

"Why?"

"I...I want to ride a flying lizard."

"You mean the Fallen Flying Beast? It's not as fast as my armor."

"It's soft and comfortable to ride. You're too hard and it hurts my butt."

"Good good."

Li Zhuoguang had no choice but to summon the Witch-king of Angmar and ask him to summon the two fallen flying beasts.

Riding on flying beasts, the two leisurely headed towards Lonely Mountain. On the way, Ariana looked at the forests and grasslands on the ground and said to herself: "Can my home be like this?"

Li Zhuoguang comforted him, "We will go to many more places. Even if it doesn't work this time, we will always find a solution.

At least I know of a kind of giant creatures called Children of the Forest. Their blood is green. Even steel stained with their blood can grow green grass and bloom flowers.

It only takes one to create a forest."

"If only I could meet one. Never mind. Let's not do that."

"why?"

"If there is such a creature, its existence is a kind of hope. Hope is more important than temporary prosperity."
