The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

One morning when spring was approaching, when Lúthien was dancing on the green hills, she suddenly began to sing. Her song was so eager and attractive, like a skylark crossing the threshold of the night and seeing the sun that was about to rise on the edge of the world. , singing loudly among the dying stars; Lúthien's song released the earth imprisoned by winter, the frozen springs began to sing softly, and wherever she walked, flowers burst out of the cold earth.

Then the spell of silence left Beren, and he called to her, shouting Tinúviel; and the whole forest echoed with the name. She stopped in surprise, and looked at Beren coming towards her, but did not pull out her hand. and ran away. As she looked at him, fate fell upon her, and she fell in love with Beren. But she escaped from his arms and disappeared from his eyes; it was just dawn. Beren was dazzled. He fell to the ground in a daze, as if he were a man struck down by grief and joy; he fell into a deep sleep, as if falling into the abyss of shadows, and when he woke up, his body was as stiff as stone, and his heart was as desolate as if he had been abandoned. He was lost in the forest. Wandering, like a suddenly blind man desperately groping in the dark, reaching out to catch the suddenly disappearing light. In this way, he paid the painful price for the fate that fell on him; Luthien was also captured by his fate, As an immortal elf, she chose death for Beren so that she could freely accept his fate; among all the elves, no one had experienced as much pain as she did.

Contrary to Beren's expectations, Lúthien returned to his darkness and brought him light; in this hidden kingdom, they roamed hand in hand for many days. From spring to summer, Lúthien came often. To Beren's side they walked quietly through the forest together; no other son or daughter of Ilúvatar had ever been so happy, however briefly.

The bard Daeron also loved Luthien. He followed her and saw her meeting Beren, so he told Melian about it and Melian spread the news to the north. King Thingol was extremely angry and he He loved Lúthien above all things in the world, and thought that no Elf prince was worthy of her; as for corruptible men, not even to serve him. He asked Lúthien with surprise and sorrow; but she answered nothing, She did not admit it until he swore that he would neither kill Beren nor imprison him.

At this time, Elu Thingol was extremely angry. He hated this human being named Beren. He thought it was this despicable and shameless guy who deceived his daughter with lies. He thought Beren wanted to take him away. The daughter he regarded as a treasure was taken away from his hands. At this moment, Xinge lost his wisdom and self-cultivation for a long time. He was like an evil dragon staring at the thief who was trying to steal his treasure. Although he was very Angry, but he still wanted to see for himself who this human being who tried to steal his daughter was.

For the sake of his precious daughter, he did not hesitate to rush back to Doriath from the north. In fact, when Melian passed this message to him, Elu Thingol was extremely surprised. What followed was, It was overwhelming anger. In his eyes, no elf prince was worthy of his daughter, let alone a mortal mortal. In fact, for his daughter's lifelong happiness, Elu Thingol once had a suitable candidate. , but the latter would not agree at all, and he knew this clearly in his heart. Because he knew very well that in that person's mind, he had always regarded him as a brother and Lucien as his niece, so he would definitely not accept this request.

So King Thingol wanted to send someone to capture Beren back to Menegroth like a prisoner. However, Lucien took the lead and personally brought Beren to King Thingol as if he were the most noble.

Guest of honor.

Elu Thingol looked at Beren with anger and contempt, Melian said nothing. "Who are you?" Thingol said: "How dare you come like a thief without being invited.

To my country?”

Under the splendor of Menegroth and the power of Elu Thingol, Beren was so frightened that he could not utter a word. So Lucien introduced him to his father, "He is the son of Belemir,

Belemir, enemy of Morgoth, fought with you in the north against Morgoth. The deeds of human heroes are widely known in the west."

After hearing this, Elu Thingol was slightly surprised. He did not expect that this "thief" was actually a descendant of his comrade Pao Ze. However, despite this, he still said to his daughter Lucien with a tigerish face: "Let Bei

Lun said it himself!" Thingol said: "You

Why does this sad and unfortunate mortal not want to avenge his father, but instead breaks into my country like a thief without my permission? Do you know that mortals are not allowed to enter here? What reason do you have for me not to punish you severely?

rashness and stupidity?”

Beren looked into Lúthien's eyes, then into Melian's face; he seemed to know what he should say. Fear left him, and the pride of being a member of the ancient family of men returned to him; and he spoke: "

Dear Elf King, it was destiny that led me here. I once traveled across mountains and rivers to sneak into the north. Not many elves could do the dangers I experienced like me. I originally wanted to join the coalition to avenge my father, but fate led me here.

, here I send

I have found the beauty I want to pursue. Now that I have found her, I will never give up in my life. Because she is better than countless treasures and surpasses everything. Whether it is mountains and boulders, iron walls, or even Morgoth's

fire,

Nor all the powers of the Elf Kingdom can prevent me from obtaining this treasure. Because your daughter Lucien is the most beautiful among the children in this world, because of her, my life can bloom as intensely as the sun.

of light.”

The entire hall fell into dead silence, and all the people in the hall were dumbfounded and terrified; they all thought that Beren would die on the spot. But Lucien, because of his confession, put his beautiful eyes on Beren tenderly. However,

, Xinge spoke, and he slowly said word by word: "You dare to say such rude words, you will only die. If I hadn't sworn in a hurry and without thinking, you would have been dead. I regret swearing not to

Kill you, you despicable mortal

, learned to be as cunning as him in the North, shrouded in the shadow of Morgoth. Your lies are like Morgoth's, and your actions are like his slave spies, sneaking into my country quietly and abducting my daughter.

!!!" He glared angrily

Looking at him, "Your father died heroically in battle. Instead of avenging his father, you returned to the south alone, sneaked into my country, and deceived my daughter with lies and sweet talk. What do you, a mortal mortal, do?

Are you qualified to touch my daughter?"

After Beren heard this, he answered Thingol neither humble nor arrogantly, "No matter how my behavior annoys you, no matter whether I deserve to die or not, you can kill me. But I will never accept your slander that I am a despicable human being or a demon."

Spies and slaves of Goth. With this ring of Finrod

It means that this was a gift he personally gave to my father during the Northern War. This gift affirmed my father's loyalty and merit. He died gloriously in the north, fighting against Morgoth.

Hero, no man, elf or king, can insult my family!"

His words made Lucien's beautiful eyes shine with splendor, and everyone looked at him thoughtfully, except Thingol who was dismissive. In his opinion, what Beren said was purely boring, and as for his

The family is even more ridiculous. I wonder if there is any family in this world that dares to compare with the elves? So he thought of a way, and because of this thought and the fleeting shadow in his heart, he buried a

The root of the problem. He said: "

I have also heard of Belemir's bravery. Listen, Beren, no matter how you say it, I will not easily hand over my daughter who I regard as a supreme treasure to you. She is a supreme treasure in your heart.

"Similarly, I also need a treasure." He leaned on the throne, "Fernor once created three Silmarils. They were taken away by Morgoth and set in his crown. You get one for me to prove your

How much do I love my daughter?"

In fact, Thingol was fascinated by its supreme beauty after he saw the Silmaril inlaid at the end of Kunguhar by Jiang Ning and the Lord of the Rings inlaid with Silmarils in his hand. He also longed for the Silmaril, but he could not

He could not take action against Yiningweil, whom he regarded as his elder brother. Therefore, when he felt entangled with Beren,

When he got bored, he thought of the elves created by Fernor. At the same time, he also wanted to use the help of Morgoth to get rid of this audacious human who coveted his daughter. But he didn't know that his words had already decided

At the same time, he and Doriath fell into the curse of Mandos.

After hearing this, Beren laughed and mocked Thingol, "What's so difficult about this? I didn't expect that the Elf King would betray his daughter for artificial jewelry. If this is your wish, King Thingol, then I will go

Do it. When we meet again, I will personally hand you a Silmarillion from Morgoth's crown. This way, you will not underestimate the son of Belemir."

Then he looked into Melian's eyes, but she said not a word; and he bade Lúthien Tinuviel farewell, and bowing to Elu Thingol and Melian, he pushed aside the guards beside him,

He walked away alone, leaving Menegroth.
