Li Zhuoguang took Ariana into the forest of Lorien. Because Li Zhuoguang had black hair and black eyes, and his appearance was very different from all the races in Middle-earth, the elf scouts patrolling in the forest recognized Li Zhuoguang when they saw him. In Lorien's royal court built on the dragon tree, Li Zhuoguang and Ariana met Galadriel and Celeborn. Li Zhuoguang and Ariana nodded slightly: "Nice to meet you, Lord Lorien and Lady White." The two leaders of Luorian also nodded kindly towards Li Zhuoguang. Galadriel said: "Before you came, our scouts discovered that the orcs in the Misty Mountains suddenly disappeared. Although I expected that with your strength, this mission would be successful, I didn't expect it to be so successful. " Celeborn asked with some confusion: "You came to Lórien so quickly. Didn't you find what you were looking for in Mount Doom?" Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "I have found what I want. I am here for another thing." "Want to hear the 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 glanced at Galadriel, and when she nodded, he turned back to Li Zhuoguang and said, "Although the light of the Silmarillion also has a miraculous effect on the withered earth, we It's uncertain whether Eärendil's star can shine beyond 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 next to her was stunned: "This is Nengya, the Ring of Water?! How can 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, and I will naturally do my best. " Celeborn gave a few instructions, and soon the elves sent ten bottles of water from the water mirror, which contained the light of the Silmaril. In addition to water, there was also soil in boxes. Li Zhuoguang knew that it contained soil from Galadriel's back garden, which was also miraculous for growing plants. In the original book, Frodo's gardener Sam received a turtle seed and a handful of soil from her garden as a gift from Galadriel. He later used this to heal the wounds of the Shire during the War of the Ring. Now Galadriel has given more than just a handful of soil. Looking at Ariana rummaging for potatoes in the box of dirt, Li Zhuoguang smiled apologetically at Galadriel. He kicked Ariana indiscriminately, making her stop playing with the mud, and informed her of the gold content of the box of mud. After hearing this, Ariana's eyes immediately turned red. After closing the lid of the box tightly, she rushed towards Galadriel like a gust of wind. Li Zhuoguang had no time to stop him, and Galadriel didn't want to stop him either. Li Zhuoguang could only watch in stunned silence as Ariana rubbed the dirt on her hands and the tears on her face onto Galadriel's white dress. But instead of being annoyed, Galadriel was like a gentle mother, putting her arms around Ariana and comforting her softly. Li Zhuoguang shook his head. If it had been Li Zhuoguang, he would have kicked her away if he saw her rushing towards her like this. This is the princess of the Noldor tribe, who has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs from the era of the Twin Sacred Trees to the end of the Third Era... Galadriel looked at Li Zhuoguang's expression of sudden realization, and seemed to sense that he was thinking of something impolite, and gave him a cold look. In order to celebrate the destruction of Sauron and the dark forces under his command, Celeborn kept the two men for a few days to attend their banquet. Li Zhuoguang looked up to the sky and sighed. It didn't take much to think that the elf's banquet was just a fruit and vegetable platter, but for the sake of politeness, he still ate a lot at the banquet. But after the banquet, he would secretly hide under the quilt in the guest room and eat dried meat. Galadriel originally only wanted to prepare one guest room, but after Li Zhuoguang's explanation, Galadriel realized that the relationship between the two was not that kind of relationship. "I thought you..." Li Zhuoguang shook his head like a rattle: "No, we are purely comrades-in-arms."
Galadriel teased: "Even among elves, she is the most beautiful elf I have ever seen in my life. Are you not tempted at all?" Huh, in my lifetime, this evaluation is really high. Li Zhuoguang, who was glared at by Galadriel again, replied honestly: "She is just too perfect, so I am not tempted at all. In our place, there is a kind of painter called AI, who is particularly good at painting pictures of beauties. The beauty is similar to Ariana. I’ve watched it a lot, and when I look at Ariana, it feels extremely unreal, and it’s hard to feel the connection between a man and a woman. Besides, I am only human. Maybe I will find ways to extend my lifespan, but after all, I will age faster than her, and we are not suitable. " After Galadriel heard Li Zhuoguang's explanation, she asked with some confusion: "Why do you think your lifespan is not as good as hers?" "Isn't it...isn't it?" "When I met you for the first time just now, I couldn't even confirm whether you were a human being. At least in my perception, you were like an elf living in Aman, with an endless lifespan." Gal'driel's words made Li Zhuoguang silent. After a long while, he laughed at himself: "Maybe I found myself a black-hearted boss, who wants me to work for him forever." Gal'driel saw that he was not interested in this topic, so she did not ask further. Three days later, Li Zhuoguang and Ariana set out on the journey home again. Li Zhuoguang put on the iron armor again, wanting to return to Lonely Mountain as soon as possible. But this time, Ariana refused to let Li Zhuoguang fly on her back. "I don't want it!" "Why?" "I... I want to ride that flying lizard." "You mean the fallen flying beast? How can it be as fast as my armor." "It's soft and comfortable to ride. You're too hard, it hurts my butt." "Okay, okay." Li Zhuoguang had no choice but to summon the Witch King of Angmar and let him summon two fallen flying beasts. Riding the flying beasts, the two leisurely headed towards the direction of Lonely Mountain. On the way, Ariana looked at the forest and grass on the ground and said to herself: "Can my home be like here?" Li Zhuoguang comforted: "We will go to many places. Even if it doesn't work this time, we will always find a solution. At least I know a huge creature called the Son of the Forest. Their blood is green. Even if steel is stained with their blood, it can grow green grass and flowers. It only takes one to create a forest." "If only I could meet one. Forget it, let's not do it." "Why?" "If there is such a creature, its existence is a kind of hope. Hope is more important than temporary prosperity."
