Chapter 179: The Flowers of the Old Forest

"Why?" Shen Long asked. He remembered the ending of Treebeard's song. "Could it be that after the elves left Middle-earth, the treemen also left?"

At the end of the song, Treebeard sang, "Together we will travel the way to the West; and far beyond will we find the land where we both rest."

And the west of Middle-earth is Aman Continent. At the end of the movie, the elves and Frodo took a boat across the sea to Aman Continent, so Shen Long guessed so.

Speaking of this, Shen Long remembered an interesting detail. After the Supreme Lord of the Rings was destroyed, Lady Galadriel left with some elves. Her husband Celeborn did not leave immediately, but stayed in the Earth continent, is it because Gandalf also went to Aman continent?

But in fact, this should not be the case. Celeborn was not the only elf who stayed in Middle-earth. The son of Thranduil and King Elrond also stayed, and they went to Aman after a long time.

"Outlander, you know a lot." Tom Bombattier was a little surprised, "Yes, Middle-earth has been polluted by Morgoth, and the world is getting more and more tired, no longer suitable for elves, treants, etc. Longevity species survive, now the elves can delay time with the power of the three rings; but after the Supreme Lord of the Rings is destroyed, these three rings will also lose their power, if the elves don't want to fade away slowly and become worthless ghosts , they must go to Aman Continent."

"Although Aman Continent was also influenced by Morgoth, but to a much lesser extent, they could still live there for a long time until Iluvita led them to play Ainu's grand movement for the second time." The grand movement of ringing Ainu is to reshape the world.

Sure enough, it is reasonable to say that tree people are also longevity species, they should not age, and when Shen Long saw Treebeard, he was a little too old, but those ancient elves still looked young, presumably because The reason why the tree people don't have the protection of the ring power.

"Since we all have to go to the west in the end, it becomes meaningless to breed new treants in Middle-earth, and today's Middle-earth is not suitable for the growth of young treants, is that so?" This is Shen Long's guess. , the power of Morgoth has caused the tree people to age. In this environment, it may be difficult for the young tree people to grow up healthily.

"Exactly." Tom Bombattier nodded. The War of the Lord of the Rings will begin, and the Lord of the Rings must be destroyed. Both the elves and the treants will go to Aman Island. "Just like in the song of the treants, They will meet again in Aman Island, where they can live as before, just let them wait a little longer!"

"So, will you and Ms. Jinberry go to Aman Island?" Shen Long asked curiously. Based on the answer to this question, he might be able to guess the identity of some Tom Bombatier.

"I will not leave,

I belong here. "Tom replied with a slight smile. Now Shen Long seemed to understand that Tom Bombatir was a bit like the Zhenyuan Daxian in "Journey to the West", an extremely detached and special existence in the world.

"Okay, I understand." Shen Long nodded. Although they were destined not to meet before going to Aman Continent, the task still had to be completed. Although Middle-earth Continent was interesting, Shen Long didn't want to live here forever, so He continued to ask, "So, if I don't take these treewives to Fangorn Forest, but just tell Treebeard where they are, can I go and meet them?"

"But if that's the case, Treebeard and the others will definitely come here." Tom Bombatier was still unwilling.

"I will persuade them to wait patiently, and it won't take long, will it?" Bilbo Baggins' 110th birthday is approaching, and the Lord of the Rings expedition will also go to Mount Doom. Treebeard can still endure it. After waiting for so many years, he doesn't care about waiting for a few more years.

"What you said makes sense." Tom also had a premonition of the coming of the Lord of the Rings War, he began to hesitate, Shen Long continued to persuade, he finally agreed to Shen Long's request, and took him to a clearing deep in the old forest, There are seven gorgeous flowers blooming here, Tom pointed to those flowers and introduced to Shen Long, "They are here."

Sure enough, it is the same as the information shows. This clue is not from or in the movie, but from the game "Lord of the Rings OL". In the game, there is a virtue mission called "Old Forest Flower". According to the mission description, there are The seven tree wives came to the old forest and turned into flowers to live here.

Shen Long turned on the tablet, found Treebeard's song and clicked on it to play. As the music sounded, the seven flowers began to sway slowly, humming along with Treebeard.

"When summer flames warm the fruit of the treetops,

When wild berries are roasted;

When the straw is golden and the ears of corn are white,

When the harvest in the village is full;

When honey overflows and apples ripen,

When the west wind blows,

I will linger in the sun, for my land

Tired and strong!

...

We will walk together,

the way to the West;

In that far beyond will be found,

The continent where we both can rest in peace. "

Shen Long quickly turned on the camera to record this scene, and then showed the treewives the photos and videos of Treebeard. The separation from the tree wife is a matter of the second era, but now it is the third era, and thousands of years have passed.

"Let Treebeard wait patiently, and we will meet again soon." The biggest and most beautiful flower said to Shen Long, maybe they have already got some information from Tom, a few years to the infinite lifespan It's nothing to the tree people at all, maybe it's over after a night's sleep.

"Okay, I will convey your words to Treebeard and the others." Shen Long agreed, and the treewives closed the petals, and the garden returned to silence.

"Then, I should go too." Shen Long offered to leave.

"Go, remember what you said just now, don't let them come here, even if they come here, they won't be able to find it here." Tom urged.

Shen Long nodded and sat on somersaulting clouds to fly into the sky. He knew that Tom had this ability. Perhaps it would not take much time for Treebeard to rush from Fangorn Forest to the old forest, but Tom could definitely keep them out of the old forest. Lun didn't care much, why couldn't he stop the Treeman?

Shen Long once again crossed the Liquor River, Huipan River, and Eixin River, and arrived at Fangorn Forest. He found Treebeard in the old place. He took out his tablet, "I found your tree wife!"
