After that, Lord Elrond and Galadriel, who had resolved the biggest knot in their hearts, had a friendly exchange with Zhang Xiaoze on the arts and strange matters of the Central Plains. After three rounds of wine, Zhang Xiaoze estimated that Lord Elrond and Galadriel should be at ease with him, so he officially got down to business.
"Lord Elrond, Your Excellency Galadriel, my purpose in coming to Rivendell was not to prove my innocence. The most important reason I came to Rivendell was to ask the elves for help.”
"Help?"
Lord Elrond raised an eyebrow and said,
"I heard from Thranduil in the Dark Forest that your army had magic weapons. A few hundred of them destroyed an army of ten thousand orcs, and even killed the Burrowing Magic Bugs.”
"With such a powerful army and the Dragon Smaug, I find it hard to imagine what power in the Central Plains can make you ask for help.”
Zhang Xiaoze shook his head and sighed."
"My enemy is not in the Central Plains, but in the distance.”
Lord Elrond didn't understand what Zhang Xiaoze meant. He frowned and asked,"
"Your Excellency Zhang Xiaoze, please speak clearly and not in riddles.”
Zhang Xiaoze said solemnly,"
"I am a foreigner from a distant land. To the Central Plains, I am a foreigner.”
"I'm not from the Middle Earth. I'm from another world.”
Lord Elrond said in a low voice,"
"I hope you're not joking."
Zhang Xiaoze replied,"
"Everything I said is true."
As expected of an elven lord who had lived for thousands of years and knew almost everything, Lord Elrond and Galadriel were not particularly surprised by Zhang Xiaoze's identity as a guest from another world. However, their curiosity towards Zhang Xiaoze grew stronger.
Galadriel looked at Zhang Xiaoze with her starry eyes and asked softly,
"How do you prove that you're from another world?”
Zhang Xiaoze said frankly,"
"You can go to Huaxia City and find that our language and culture are completely different from those of Middle-earth. We don't have magic, only machines.”
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoze seemed to have thought of something. He waved his hand and took out his phone from the personal space given by the system and placed it on the table.
"Your excellencies, you can take a look. This is my entertainment item. Is it different from any system in the Central Plains?”
Lord Elrond took the phone and caressed the ceramic casing and the display screen. For the first time, an expression of indescribable shock appeared on his face. Zhang Xiaoze then turned on the phone and played a few videos of the city's scenery and military affairs. Even the noblest Galadriel of the Midlands was shocked speechless.
" Unbelievable civilization, unbelievable craftsmanship, unbelievable!”
Galadriel only regained her composure after saying 'unbelievable' three times.
Lord Elrond thought for a moment and asked in confusion,"
" Your Excellency Zhang Xiaoze, your brilliant and powerful civilization is far superior to ours in some aspects. Why are you here asking for our help?”
Zhang Xiaoze sighed."
"We foretold that not long after, invaders from the stars would come to our country and wreak havoc. We would not be able to defeat them with our weapons!”
"Therefore, we can only place our hopes on magic.”
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoze played the downloaded Transformers movie for the two of them to watch.
After reading it, Lord Elrond sighed,"
"They are truly incomparably powerful. The individual combat power of a metallic intelligent life form is truly despairing.”
He turned to Zhang Xiaoze and said regretfully,"
"Apologies, Your Excellency Zhang Xiaoze. Our magic is too weak against such a powerful metallic lifeform.”
Zhang Xiaoze chuckled and said leisurely,"
"I heard that the original size of the Midland Continent was much larger than it is now. A large piece of the continent was sunk during the war.”
"A spell that can sink a continent is truly terrifying.”
"I don't need such powerful magic. I only need magic that can deal with metallic lifeforms.”
"I believe that the elves must have related magic!”
Zhang Xiaoze then looked at Galadriel and said slowly,"
"I remember that day on the platform of Dol Gedor, the magic that His Holiness Galadriel cast to expel Sauron's spirit body was already very powerful! Although you will be weak after one move."
Galadriel's eyes turned cold. She looked at Zhang Xiaoze with fear and doubt. Why did an otherworldly person know her so well?
Lord Elrond was silent. His face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were filled with hostility.
Galadriel smiled indifferently.
"Your Excellency Zhang Xiaoze, some spells are taboo, and some spells have requirements for bloodline.”
"I don't want magic, I just want magic weapons, okay?”
"A one-time use magic weapon is fine too!”
"Don't worry, we won't let the elves suffer.”
"I'm sorry, forbidden magic weapons are forbidden and cannot be circulated.”
"I will never use it in the Middle Earth. I will use it in our world.”
" I'm sorry, Your Excellency Zhang Xiaoze."
Seeing Galadriel's firm attitude, Zhang Xiaoze turned to the door and said slowly,"
"It seems that I can only ask Sauron for help. He should have forbidden magic.”
Lord Elrond glared at Zhang Xiaoze and said coldly,"
"Your Excellency Zhang Xiaoze, as a monarch, I hope you can take responsibility for your words.”
Zhang Xiaoze took a deep breath and closed his eyes."
" In the face of the life and death of civilization, I can sacrifice my dignity, my faith, my life, and even my everything!”
At this moment, Erwin's voice sounded from outside.
"Father, two giant steel birds are hovering above Rivendell. They say they are from Huaxia City and are here to return the favor.”
Lord Elrond looked at Zhang Xiaoze in surprise. Zhang Xiaoze smiled faintly.
"How can a guest not bring a gift?”
Lord Elrond stood up and walked out, followed by Zhang Xiaoze and Galadriel.
After clearing an open space, two black Chinese Green Bird utility helicopters landed steadily on Rivendell's land.
Li Hu, dressed in his military uniform, quickly ran out of the plane and stood in front of Zhang Xiaoze.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the gifts have been transported. Your Majesty, please give your instructions.”
Zhang Xiaoze nodded in satisfaction and smiled."
"You can go back after taking out all the gifts.”
"Yes."
With the help of the elven soldiers, all the gifts that Zhang Xiaoze had prepared were carried down.
Zhang Xiaoze led Lord Elrond and Galadriel to introduce their gifts.
"This is our country's newest single air defense missile, the Red Arrow Missile. There are a total of 20 of them. If a dragon attacks, you can use the Red Arrow Missile to attack the dragon.”
" This is our country's anti-materiel sniper rifle. It can cut an orc in half from a kilometer away. Combined with the elves 'outstanding vision, it can strengthen Rivendell's defense.”
"This is the hard liquor from various places in our country. I believe it will bring you a different experience.”
"These are the top perfumes in our country, as well as lipsticks of various color number. Although every female elf is beautiful, these perfumes and lipsticks can add a different charm to each female elf.”
"These are all kinds of candies and pastries from our country. I hope you will like them.”
Even the knowledgeable Lord Elrond and Galadriel were shocked by the dazzling array of gifts, let alone Alwyn. She almost couldn't control herself from picking up the long, thick black object to see if it was as powerful as Zhang Xiaoze said.
Although it was a return gift, Lord Elrond and Galadriel knew very well that this was a bargaining chip Zhang Xiaoze had given for the sake of magic.
Looking at the gifts strewn all over the floor, Lord Elrond would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. But if he accepted, what about the magic?
"It's just a small gift."
"I still have matters to attend to. Please forgive me for not being able to continue admiring the beauty of Rivendell.”
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoze quickly boarded the helicopter and left.
Lord Elrond didn't know what to say. He didn't know whether to accept it or not. After hesitating for a long time, he decisively ordered,"
"Erwin, you are responsible for sending these gifts into the treasure vault.”
"Yes, Father!"
Erwin excitedly ordered the maids to put away the weapons, cosmetics, liquor, and delicacies on the ground, and her impression of him became even higher.
