Chapter 334 Summoning the Phoenix and the Elven Ring
Richard knew the attraction of the phoenix to the elves, so he would release the phoenix when he met them. It was also because of the beautiful phoenix that Richard could easily enter the elves' territory, Rivendell.
Elves are all very arrogant. If they don't really like it, they won't take the initiative to invite.
Just like now, they obviously like phoenixes and want to obtain the spell to summon phoenixes, but they didn't take the initiative to mention it. However, after Richard said that he could exchange the knowledge of the elves, King Elrond immediately agreed.
"To summon a phoenix, you need to construct a phoenix rune. This is the construction technique of the phoenix rune." Richard took out a scroll. This scroll fully records the spell of summoning a phoenix, and there is also a complete analysis.
King Elrond also has powerful magic. As the first generation of elves, they are the most beloved by the God of Creation. Even until now, the God of Creation still left them a way to return to Aman.
Richard analyzed the structure of the phoenix rune in detail and then taught it to King Elrond.
"There can't be any mistakes in these rune nodes." King Elrond has a strong learning ability. It took him about three days to memorize the rune model.
It must be said that these elves are really talented.
After mastering the Phoenix Rune Model, it was not difficult to learn this spell next.
A week later, in the training ground of Rivendell Palace, King Elrond concentrated on perfectly displaying all the magic spells and gestures. The next second, powerful magic power was released in his body, and elemental energy quickly gathered.
"Cry!"
A phoenix cry, dazzling golden light burst in the sky. An elegant and noble phoenix appeared in the sky.
The golden-red wings flapped gently, and dots of golden light fell from its wings and slowly disappeared. The phoenix flapped its wings, and its body turned lightly in the sky, leaving dots of golden-red light behind it, like a phantom.
"It's so beautiful!" The elves around looked at the phoenix flying in the sky with envy.
Eldron waved his hand gently, and the phoenix shrank lightly, the light shone, and the phoenix shrank quickly, and finally landed on his arm. Looking at the phoenix, Eldron's eyes were full of joy.
"Congratulations, you have successfully summoned the phoenix!" Richard said with a smile.
Eldron said: "Thank you for your guidance, you are the most distinguished friend of the Elves of the Valley!"
"I am honored!" Richard said with a smile.
"The sacred fire of the phoenix is a weapon to fight darkness, which should be very suitable for you."
"Thank you for your help."
"I have decided to add a phoenix pattern to the flag of Rivendell." Eldron said to the elves around him.
The elves around cheered.
There are many books in Rivendell, and the elves have accumulated a lot of knowledge over thousands of years. Richard is concerned about the magic part, and he just flips through the other books.
Eldron arranged an elf named Aranda as Richard's guide.
Aranda took Richard to tour the entire Rivendell. Rivendell was built in a valley, but the city is not narrow and cramped.
The natural landscape of mountains, water, forests, grasslands, lakes, and waterfalls is perfectly integrated with the surrounding palaces and houses. There are huge hunting grounds, training grounds, and pastures here. All kinds of beautiful scenery are in sight.
At night, the sky will become blue, and the whole city will light up with soft magic lights. I have to say that this city is very suitable for living.
Richard visited the elf arsenal here, where the equipment is forged with an alloy called Elf Steel.
"As you can see, our weapons are all forged with this kind of elven steel." Aranda picked up a semi-finished elven long sword and said.
"Very sophisticated weapons." Richard tried it in his hand. It feels moderate and is light in weight. He flicked the sword spine with his hand.
"Zheng~"
A melodious sword sound rang out.
Richard found that all these elven weapons have effects such as [Toughness], [Sharpness], [Armor Breaking], and [Evil Breaking], and they are all enchanted weapons. All weapons are basically enhanced +5, and the only step away from the peak of transcendence is a legendary weapon.
The weapon forging here uses assembly line division of labor and cooperation. Only a few unique weapons will be forged by the forging master.
Elf steel is an alloy smelted by the elves. Richard tested it and found that this metal has good magic conductivity and tough texture. Although it is not as good as Titanium and Vibranium in general, it is much stronger than the magic titanium alloy.
This metal is more suitable for making steel golems than magic titanium alloy. Vibranium Titanium has always been expensive. Even if Richard has the reality gem, he can't make it at will.
After all, using the reality gem to make a wish is not without cost. Otherwise, after Thanos snapped his fingers, his strength would not be greatly reduced.
At the beginning, the steel golem used a large amount of magic titanium alloy, and finally coated the surface of the steel golem with a layer of magic vibranium. Now seeing that there is a metal better than the magic titanium alloy, Richard will naturally not let it go.
If it is suitable, he plans to use elven steel to replace the magic titanium alloy in the future.
"The smelting process of Elven steel is quite complicated. There is information in the library. You can check it yourself." Seeing Richard testing the Elven steel again, Aranda next to him said with a smile.
"Thank you for your reminder." Richard said.
"Don't be so polite, Richard. You are now the most popular guest in the elf territory. You can use all these things at will." Aranda said.
There are not many elves in the valley, and there are less than tens of thousands of elves in the whole city. Their long life has allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth. Over the past thousands of years, they have countless materials and equipment.
The elves around were very friendly to Richard along the way, and many elves gave Richard many small gifts. There are gem bracelets, brooches, etc., and each gift is made very delicately and beautifully.
In the evening, Richard once again attended the banquet held by Elderon in the palace.
"Welcome to our best friend Richard." This banquet is to celebrate that the elves have their own phoenix. It can be said that this banquet is more grand than the last one.
The diet of the elves tends to be light, but it does not mean that they do not eat meat. At the same time, the wine produced here is very good. And their cooking skills are very good. In Richard's opinion, they are not inferior to those halflings who are good at cooking.
After all, in their long lives, they have plenty of time to learn various skills, including cooking. Therefore, the food at the banquet was very good.
As for why the table was full of vegetables with almost no seasoning after the dwarves came here, it was what they deserved.
Those dwarves were able to enter Rivendell because of Gandalf's face. Otherwise, the elves would not allow the dwarves to come here.
Eating elven food, watching elven dances, and listening to elven music, Richard's life here is very comfortable.
The elves' singing and dancing are accompanied by magic, and every time Richard sees it, he feels amazing. Thinking of magic, Richard suddenly said: "King Elron, I heard that the elves forged the three elven rings. Can I see it?"
Elderon was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "Of course."
He took off the ring of air, Via, and handed it to Richard.
"The three rings of the elves, the nine rings of humans, and the seven rings of the dwarves were all created by Sauron's knowledge and will be bound by the Supreme Ring."
"Without Sauron's secret manipulation, the three rings of the elves have much less binding power, but the seven rings of the dwarves and the nine rings of humans are greatly affected. Especially the nine rings of humans, those kings who wear the nine rings of humans eventually become slaves of the ring and minions of Sauron."
Richard nodded seriously: "I will pay attention."
As he said, Richard checked the elven ring in his hand. This elven ring was forged with gold, elven steel and mithril, with a large number of elven runes engraved on it, and a pure sapphire was inlaid.
"System, scan it."
A flash of light flashed, and soon scanned the elven ring, and the details of the elven ring appeared in front of Richard.
[Item: One of the three rings of the elves, the ring of air, Wei Ya. Level: Legendary level 3.
Material: gold, elven steel, mithril, sapphire, etc.;
Effect: Healing: It has powerful healing ability and can heal almost all injuries including near-death.
Protection: Air Ring Via can form a powerful magic barrier to protect the owner of the ring. The magic barrier can resist a ten-ring spell.
Guardian: Air Ring Via can create a magic barrier to protect an area. Before the barrier is broken, it will not be harmed. The current protected area is Rivendell.
Note: The current ring is bound by the Supreme Ring. 】
Richard returned the Air Ring Via to Elrond, and then said: "Exquisite magic skills."
"Elrond, I want to forge a powerful magic ring to protect myself. I want your elves' knowledge of the magic ring. In exchange, I can help you bless the Air Ring Via so that it will not be affected by the Supreme Ring."
Elrond looked at Richard in surprise: "Wizard Richard, can you block the influence of Sauron?"
"Of course." Richard said with a smile.
"Great, after the banquet, I will take you to see the forging method and knowledge of Jiang Wei Ya." Because it involves Sauron, in order to prevent Sauron from secretly corrupting other elves, this knowledge is strictly preserved.
Soon the banquet ended, Richard and Elrond came to the study in the palace, and Elrond handed one of the parchment scrolls to Richard.
"This parchment scroll is Sauron's knowledge. If you use the knowledge on it to forge the ring, you will definitely be affected by Sauron."
"I understand, I won't use this knowledge directly." Richard said.
Knowing that there are problems with this knowledge, Richard will naturally not go head-on, and the knowledge on it will definitely be screened. Richard opened the parchment scroll, which recorded a lot of knowledge, and Richard quickly read it.
Then he returned the scroll to Elrond.
"Now I will help you cut off the link to the Supreme Ring on the ring."
"Do you need me to prepare anything?" Elrond asked.
Richard shook his head and said, "No."
Although there is also a bond between the Supreme Ring and the Three Rings of the Elf, this bond is not too strong. Otherwise, the elves would not use these three rings.
Richard drew a magic circle, and then placed the Elven Ring into the magic circle. He was ready to use the power of space to cut off the connection between the Elven Ring and the Supreme Ring.
Powerful energy gathered on Richard. Elderon was shocked when he saw Richard burst out with powerful power. This kind of power was extremely powerful even in the first and second eras.
Since the first and second eras, after two wars, the creator god Ilúvatar felt that their power was too strong and would cause too much damage to the world and the earth. At the same time, they believed that only by awakening the conscience and faith of mortals and through their own hard work, the victory they achieved would be cherished.
So all the Maia and the first generation of elves were restricted in their power. This is also the reason why Richard did not dare to use his power wantonly, because if he really destroyed the world, what would happen if the creator god Ilúvatar came to trouble him?
Richard did not have such restrictions, and the spells he could cast were more powerful. So he could forcibly block the connection between the magic rings created by Sauron with spells.
The powerful magic power gathered quickly, and Richard tapped lightly. Under his control, the magic power quickly condensed into runes, and then these runes were connected to each other, and finally became rune chains.
The golden rune chain wrapped around the ring. The chains quickly wrapped around the ring, and finally formed a complete rune array on it.
As the last rune chain was completed, a golden light rose, and a powerful spatial force appeared, forming a spatial barrier directly on the ring.
In Richard's spiritual vision, the line that originally connected to an unknown place was forcibly blocked by the spatial array. The chain that the Supreme Ring relied on to bind the Ring of Air, Via, was forcibly cut off by Richard.
"Dingling!" The Ring of Air, Via, fell from mid-air. Richard picked up the ring and saw that there was a circle of delicate and fine lines on the surface of the original golden ring. These lines looked like circles of patterns, which were the rune arrays blessed by Richard.
These lines had no effect on the other functions of the ring, but could only block the connection between it and the Supreme Ring. Sauron could no longer influence this ring through the Supreme Ring, and then influence the elves.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Richard said with a smile, handing the ring in his hand to Elrond.
Elrond put on the ring and carefully sensed it. As Richard said, the function of the ring was not affected at all, and the hidden passage with the Supreme Ring was also cut off by a powerful spatial force.
"I can't feel it at all!" Elrond said in surprise.
"You can use this ring with confidence in the future." Richard said,
"Thank you for your help, Sir Richard!" Elrond said happily.
