The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Melian's comfort made Elu Thingol feel very happy, and his face burst into a deep smile and expectation. He even got up and walked around a little uneasily, and even responded in a way that made Melian feel uncomfortable.

Feeling amused, he asked his wife, "Before Yiningville arrives here, should we repair our palace and city?"

" Without waiting for his wife's answer, he began to talk to himself again, " Yiningville has some almost harsh conditions for the environment and the place where he lives. He always wants to make one thing perfect. When he was in Cuvieren,

He also asked everyone to do the same. I think even though hundreds of years have passed, the character of Yiningweil must not have changed much."

Melian was helpless. She said, "My dear, you don't have to be like this." Facing her husband's puzzled gaze, Melian explained to him, "I think even the luxurious palaces and cities cannot compare to the joy of meeting relatives."

The joy of that time. I think that when you brothers meet again, all the luxury and beautiful things will not be able to offset this kind of family affection."

"Yes, yes, you are right, dear." Elu Thingol smiled, "That's true. Although he is the eldest brother in my heart. Although he likes elegant environments and luxurious cities and palaces, but

He himself did not ask everyone to build him a luxurious house when he was in Quavienne. He always sat cross-legged on an oak tree and meditated. Instead, he made our houses as elegant and beautiful as possible. He

He takes care of us like a father and an eldest brother. Although he told us that he likes beautiful and luxurious things, I have never seen these in him." He choked up and said, "He has always had us in his heart.

He thinks about us as much as possible, and even when faced with danger, he is the first to rush out to save everyone. Even when we go to support him without permission, he will scold us very angrily!"

Melian was silent and listened quietly. She had a better idea of ​​the unmasked primitive spirit her husband said in her heart, and at the same time she became more curious, so she said: "My dear, I know you miss me very much."

Your brother, but you have to remember that you will meet again. Didn’t I tell you just now? He has become king in Valinor. I think he will also know the news about us here. I think he should

We will come to the West soon and you will meet naturally."

Elu Thingol nodded, and spoke tender words to his wife Melian, talking about the memories of the past. They kept talking for a long time, and finally Melian spoke. She talked about the Noldor and the Silmarillion.

"This is a big deal," she said.

Greater than I know; for the light of Aman and the fate of the Eldar are now tied to this work of Fernor, and he is gone. I predict that any power of the Eldar will be

They could not be recovered; just as the gems were taken back from Morgoth

Before, the world would be torn asunder in the coming war. Behold! As I suspected, they had killed Fernor and many others. The death they had brought, and the death they would bring,

First it falls upon your friend Finwë. Morgoth

Kill him before escaping from Aman." Although Melian knew that such news would break her husband's good mood, as his wife, Melian, Queen of Doriath, must shoulder her responsibilities.

She must remind her husband of her responsibilities and obligations.

Elu Thingol didn't say a word for a long time after hearing this, and his heart was full of sadness and premonition; but in the end, he still spoke: "Now I finally understand why the Noldor left the west and came here. I had been full of doubts about this before.

Doubt. They are not here to help us (it’s just a coincidence);

The Valar let those who stayed in Middle-earth develop on their own until the moment of greatest need came. The Noldor came for revenge and to recover lost things. But what is more certain is that in the fight against Morgoth, they

will be our allies, and now we don’t have to worry about any agreements and cooperation between them."

But Melian said: "Of course revenge and treasure are the real reason for their coming, but there must be other reasons. You have to be careful of the sons of Fernor! The shadow of Valar's anger and another curse hang over them

Although I don’t know what the other curse is, I can tell that they have done evil things, not only in Aman, but also on their own kindred. There is a curse hanging over all the Noldor princes.

Sadness, although that sadness seems to have subsided now."

Elu Thingol heard this and said: "What does that have to do with me? About Ferno, I have only heard rumors, and he is said to be very great. About his son, I have heard nothing.

Things are pleasant; but they also prove to our enemy that they are his mortal enemy."

But Melian said: "Their swords and their plans are as sharp as two-edged swords." The conversation ended there, and they never talked about it again.

Soon, rumors spread among the Sindar that the Noldor had done many evil things before coming to Beleriand. The only thing that was certain was why the Noldor came, but the truth of the evil deeds was unknown.

They were fueled by jealousy; at that time, the Sindar were unprepared for lies and everyone believed the rumors they heard, and Morgoth chose them as the first targets of his malicious attacks (in hindsight, this is very possible)

), because they didn't know him at all. When Cirdan heard these dark stories, he was deeply troubled; he was extremely wise, and he quickly saw that what they heard this time, whether true or false, had

A great and vicious conspiracy. However, he believed that the conspiracy was against the princes of the Noldor and was caused by jealousy. Therefore, he sent a letter to Elu Thingol, telling him everything he had heard.

It happened that Finarfin's son was Thingol's guest at this time, because they wanted to see his sister Galadriel. Elu Thingol was very excited after reading the letter, and he said to Finrod very angrily: "My good

How dare you do such a thing to me, my kinsman, and keep such a great secret from me. Now I know all the evil that the Noldor have done." Finrod answered, "My king, I have done it to you.

What evil? Or perhaps the Noldor were

What has been done in your kingdom that makes you so angry? They have neither thought nor done any evil, either to your kingship or to your people!" (Finrod, Finarfin and

The eldest son of Earwen, the founder and first king of the Kingdom of Nargothrond. Finrod once forged a deep friendship with the humans of the Beor family: this friendship allowed him to survive the War of Sudden Fire.

, and he finally gave his life in return.)

"Son of Earwen, I regard you with special admiration." Elu Thingol said: "How dare you come to your uncle's kingdom as a guest with your hands stained with the blood of the slaying of your mother's kinsmen, and you have continued to do so.

Not a word of defense, not even a word of apology!"

Finrod was deeply speechless, but he said nothing, for he could not defend himself unless he accused the other Noldor princes of their crimes; and he was extremely unwilling to do so in front of Thingol. But Finrod felt in his heart

Caranthil's words of ridicule came to mind, so he shouted loudly

Said: "My king, I don't know what kind of greedy words you heard, or when you heard it; but our hands are definitely not stained with blood. After listening to the fierce Ferno's words, everyone

Follow him as if you were drunk, but soon sober up

; We may be stupid, but we definitely come here with a clear conscience. We have not done anything evil along the way, but have suffered a lot for the wrong things we have done; and then we have to forget this pain. To you

To us, we are just people with a long list of stories. To the Noldor

So far as we are concerned, we can be betrayed - the fact is exactly the opposite of what you know. We have our loyalty to keep, so we remain silent in front of you. Unexpectedly, this only makes you angry. Now, let's not continue

You have been charged with such a crime, and you should know the truth."

Then Finrod spoke angrily of the deeds of the sons of Fernor, and told Thingol of their bloodshed at Alqualondi, and then summoned the judgment of Mandos, and the burning of the ships at Rothgar. Then he

He said loudly: "Why do those of us who have endured the pain of ice and trekked here bear the name of murderers of our relatives and traitors?"

"But the shadow of Mandos also falls over you," Melian said.

Elu Thinge didn't say a word for a long time. "You go!" Finally he said: "My heart is burning like a fire! If you are willing, you can come back later; my juniors, I will not

You close my door, otherwise I will trap you

In the same way, I will maintain my friendship with Fingolfin and his people, who have paid a painful ransom for the evil they were involved in. In hating the great enemy who caused all this

, our sorrow may be forgotten. However, please note

Listen to me! From now on, I will never let my ears hear the language of those who slaughtered my relatives in Aoqalundi! In the same way, as long as my kingdom exists, it is not allowed to be spoken openly in my country.

Language. All Sindar must obey my command,

Neither the tongue of the Noldor can be spoken, nor heard nor answered. Anyone who dares to use that language will be a murderer of his kin and a traitor, and will never be forgiven." (Quenya was abolished, and the Sindar are still here.

Neither speaks Quenya anymore, nor can they speak it.)

So Finarfin's sons left Menegroth with a heavy heart. They finally realized how true Mandos's words were. None of the Noldor people who followed Fernor could escape the evil that enveloped their family.

Shadow. Just as Elu Thingol said, the Sindar tribe obeys his orders. From now on, the entire Shell

Ireland refused to use the Noldor language and shunned those who spoke it loudly; the exiles had fully adopted Sindarin and Isweilin in their daily lives, and the high languages ​​of the West became only in Norse.

It was spread among many royal families. From then on, the language became a kind of knowledge and has always been preserved by its people.

After Finrod left, Elu Thingol sat down weakly. Melian squatted beside him and rubbed his hand with her face. Elu Thingol said feebly: "What on earth is that?"

At that time, the people who were united and worked together to survive would actually kill each other? Yiningville, do you know the tragedy that happened to our people? Didn't you take care of it? "

Looking at her sad and crying husband, Melian comforted him, "This happened so suddenly, I think even Yiningweil couldn't believe it. Now, I can be sure that there is another curse on the Noldor."

Who did the curse come from?" Elu Thingol did not speak, but looked at his queen and his wife,

Melian said: "If I am not wrong, then the source of another curse on the Noldor is Yiningweil. Presumably, after he knew about this tragedy, he cursed the Noldor! And I am sure

, he should be already on the way to Middle-earth at this time, or it may not necessarily be that he has already arrived in Middle-earth."

However, Elu Thinge's eyes lit up and he looked outside the palace. He couldn't help but look forward to it, eager to see that figure that he had not seen for hundreds of years!
