Chapter 555 The Silmaril!
If the jade seal really had power, the dynasty would not have been overthrown, the emperor would not have been killed by the traitor, and the saying "The emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses" would not have been born.
Similarly, if the Arkenstone town really had powerful power, Erebor would not have been occupied by Smaug, and the Turin dwarves would not have become Smaug's meal and wanderers.
However, Xiao's inertial thinking made him ignore an important issue:
The world is different. In Middle-earth, gems have long been transformed from ordinary things to extraordinary things.
In fact, in Middle-earth, each gem contains extraordinary power.
Even the three rings of the elves are made of gems and refined gold.
Ruby represents fire, sapphire represents water, and diamond represents wind.
Then, as the essence of the mountains, how could the Arkenstone be without power? The lack of power is just that the dwarves cannot stimulate the power in it.
So, Xiao immediately took out the Arkenstone from the cyber dimension to observe it. This was the first time Xiao observed the Arkenstone.
When I was looting Iluber before, I just thought it was beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so useful now.
In Xiao's spiritual perception, the Heart of the Mountain contains a heavy power like a mountain.
When he used magic to stimulate the internal power of the Heart of the Mountain, the gem actually merged into his body and became one with him.
And he actually gained a mysterious power. He could feel the breathing of the mountain, absorb the power of the mountain, greatly strengthen his own and others' defense, and make his body as hard as a copper wall.
"This is really, guarding the treasure mountain without knowing it!"
Xiao clenched his fist. At this moment, his body hardness was at least 10 times stronger than before, and the powerful earth element power was constantly strengthening his body's basic attributes.
Vitality, endurance, agility, strength, the strengthening of the Heart of the Mountain was almost all-round, and even formed a layer of bluestone armor on his body surface, greatly improving his magic resistance.
The dwarves have guarded the treasure for hundreds of years, but no one has ever thought of its power. If Thror had not regarded it as a jade seal, but had studied its power carefully, Smaug would be nothing.
This thing itself is a treasure no less than the Lord of the Rings. If it is inlaid in the Supreme Ring, it can definitely make up for the last defect of the Supreme Ring.
However, the Arkenstone is not a matching item with the Supreme Ring after all. If you want to inlay it in the Supreme Ring, you must return to Mount Doom and recast it.
…
…
Xiao flew all the way to Mount Doom, borrowed the power of Mount Doom, melted the Supreme Ring, and inlaid the Arkenstone on it, but this was destined to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive project.
After all, the Arkenstone is the size of a palm. If you want to melt it into a suitable size, you need to quench the purification of the Arkenstone first.
Several months passed quietly, and Xiao finally perfectly inlaid the Arken gem on the Supreme Ring.
At this moment, the Supreme Ring has completely changed, from an ordinary ring to a gorgeous and wide gem ring.
The magnificent Arken gem has become the size of a fingernail, firmly inlaid on the ring, and constantly releasing a magnificent light.
However, in the Doomsday Volcano, in addition to the newly born gorgeous Supreme Ring,
there is also a gemstone emitting endless soft light floating quietly beside Xiao.
Xiao recognized this thing, it is the Silmaril.
The Silmaril was made in the heyday of Valinor. It is the greatest work made by Feanor, the most skilled elf.
He worked secretly for a long time to make the Silmaril.
The Silmaril is shaped like a crystal made of diamond, but it is harder than diamond, and no force can destroy it.
It is made of the glory of the Two Sacred Trees. After the Two Sacred Trees withered, it only exists in the Silmaril.
Even in the dark, the Silmarils can still emit brilliant light.
Silmarils are like living things, and those who love light will return more brilliant light.
Varda sealed the three Silmarils as holy, and from then on, any unclean, evil-stained hands that touch them will be burned and withered.
If the Supreme Ring is a treasure that runs through the Second Age and the Third Age of the Age of the Sun,
then the Silmarils are treasures that run through the Age of the Two Trees and the Age of the Sun. The Age of the Two Trees ended with Morgoth destroying the Golden Tree and the Silver Tree, seizing the three Silmarils, and proclaiming himself the King of the World.
The First Age of the Age of the Sun also ended with the defeat of Morgoth and the War of Wrath caused by the recapture of the Silmarils.
Only then did the Second Age begin when the Dark Lord Sauron came to power.
The whereabouts of the three Silmarils were taken by Elrond's mother and father on the Sun and Moon giant ships and flew into the sky.
The other two were taken by the two sons of Fëanor, the maker of the Silmaril. Maedhros took one Silmaril and jumped into the fiery crack in the earth, while Maglor threw the other into the sea.
In this way, the three Silmarils found their long-term destination: one in the sky, one at the bottom of the ocean, and one in the fire at the core of the world.
And this Silmaril is obviously the one that Maedhros took into the fire at the core of the earth: after a long geological evolution, it was sealed by a layer of melt crust by the earth and buried by magma activity at the bottom of the Lonely Mountain.
After all, the dwarves' digging skills are so good that you can see it from Moria. They dug out all the Balrogs who had fled to the depths of the earth after the War of Wrath.
The Silmaril has extraordinary charm, but the divine power left by Varda is still valid. Xiao can't touch this broken thing at all, otherwise he will be burned by the sacred flame.
Although the sacred flame did not cause much harm to Xiao, it also lost its effect on Xiao. The Silmaril is more of a symbolic thing in Xiao's hands, so Xiao does not plan to keep it for himself.
It's just a Silmaril. To put it bluntly, isn't it just an alternative Arcturus crystal?
After a circle in the cyber dimension, Xiao has been able to mass produce it, although each condensation consumes a huge amount of energy.
The light of the two sacred trees is not much stronger than that of real stars, but because of the different status, it has some sacred attributes.
So Xiao did not intend to keep it, but made it into a set of gemstone necklaces, with the Silmaril as the main gemstone, the Arcturian crystal as the auxiliary gemstone, and hundreds of gemstones made into a beautiful and rare jewel.
And named it: Avmeklas, which is the Quenya language used by the high elves: it means the pearl of the elves.
And attached a death curse to it: those who are not of the Xiao bloodline will be cursed to become the death slaves of [Avmeklas] forever.
