Chapter 57: Minas Tirith! (2)

Polomo did not pay attention to Yang Yun's curiosity about the white tree. He strided across the atrium and walked straight into the gate under the tower. He passed the tall and silent gatekeeper, walked into the cool and empty hall of the stone tower, and then passed through an empty corridor, and finally stopped in front of a metal gate with light visible people.

"We're finally back." Polomo said with emotion, and then he began to knock on the door.

The door opened almost instantly, but no one seemed to be controlling it behind it. Everyone in the Zhongzhou team saw a wide hall behind the door. The light in the hall came from the windows beside tall stone pillars on both sides. The hall also displays many black marble statues, with the images of various rare beasts and plants. The roof of the hall was faintly shining with dark golden light, mixed with colorful light. There is no decoration or brocade hanging in this solemn hall, nor any wood-made items, but between the stone pillars, there are many reliefs carved on the cold stone slabs.

At the end of the hall, above many steps is a tall throne with canopy carved from marble like a helmet. On the wall behind it, there are gems arranged into a blooming tree, but the throne is empty. Below the throne, a simple black stone chair is placed on the widest staircase of the lowest level, on which an old man sits, staring at his knees, holding a scepter with a golden ball at the tip.

"Father!"

When Polomo saw the old man, he couldn't help but shout in surprise. He quickly ran to the old man's approach and knelt on one knee: "Polomo is back!"

Hearing Polomo's voice, the old man opened his eyes and stood up suddenly. Everyone in the Central China team could clearly see his proud face and ivory-like skin, as well as his deep black eyes and eagle-girl nose. He was the city lord and regent of Minas Tiris, the son of Exillion, Dinaser, the son of Aixelion. Seeing Polomo standing in front of him safely, the regent of Gondor could not help but smile.

"Okay, very good! I am very happy to see you come back safely!" Dinaser smiled and helped Polomo up: "So, have you found the answer to that prophecy when you come back this time?"

"Yes, I've found the answer."

Polomo raised his head and said in a cautious and vigilant tone: "The Supreme Lord of the Ring is reappearing, and the Dark Demon King is looking for it. In order to find the ring and power he lost, he can even turn Middle-earth into a scorched earth at all costs!"

"The Lord of the Ring...The Supreme Lord of the Ring! I should have thought of it long ago."

Dinaser repeated what Polomo said. Although his tone was quite shocking, everyone in the Zhongzhou team could see that he was obviously mentally prepared for the news. And he didn't know if it was an illusion or something else. When Dinaser mentioned the Supreme Lord of the Ring, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, which was completely different from the previous appearance.

"So, is there any worse news? Say it! Polomo! I can still bear it." Seeing that Polomo seemed to have something else to say, Dinaser said directly: "Your father is not so confused that he can't bear any blow! Say it! Say it all so that I can know how the situation is now!"

"I will tell you what's next."

And just as Polomo took a deep breath and was about to say what he saw and heard along the way, as well as the information that Rivendell and Roslorian got from the elves, Chu Xuan behind him suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Polomo's words about to be said.

"Who are you?" Dinaser turned his black eyes to Chu Xuan and said in a questioning tone.

"Chu Xuan, a traveler." Chu Xuan answered calmly.

Yang Yun, who was standing by, suddenly realized that there were many similarities between the two, and could clearly feel the competition between the two. It seemed that something hidden and unknown was running between the two's eyes, which could burst out at any time. The difference was that in Dinaser's eyes were exploration, questioning and sharpness, while Chu Xuan was as calm as ever.

Dinaser does look more like a leader and wise man than Chu Xuan. He is more kingly, more handsome, stronger and stronger, and looks older. However, Yang Yun can feel that Chu Xuan has stronger power and wisdom. He is like an iceberg hidden under the sea level. If you don’t search, you will never know the depth. Chu Xuan’s wisdom is not easily revealed. Compared to Xiao Honglu, who is of superb intelligence, who can’t change his age, and Yang Yun, who has gained the lead by knowing the plot, Chu Xuan is far more terrifying than the two of them.

Chu Xuan did not speak, but still stared at each other with disgrace, as if he wanted to read each other's thoughts, but in the end, Dinaser withdrew his gaze first.

"Okay, okay, I apologize to you for your misconduct just now." Dinaser said: "I can feel that you are not just an ordinary traveler. Not many people can look at me for so long without retreating. Polomo, wouldn't you introduce to me the guests you brought?"

Polomo then realized that he quickly introduced the names of the Zhongzhou team members to Dinaser one by one, but only the names. Because the origin of the Zhongzhou team members is too mysterious, Queen Kelantriel, who knows the inside story, is as tight as a bottle. Except for Aragorn's speculation that he had a small scale and a half claw, the other plot characters are simply confused.

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is the news we bring to you." Chu Xuan said: "Isn't it right? Dynaser, the Regent of Gondor?"

"Yes." Dinaser said without comment: "Although everyone said that crystal stones have been lost for a long time, the princes and nobles of Gondor still have sharper gazes than mortals, and there are many channels for collecting intelligence. Everyone should sit first!"

After saying that, Dineser said, he rang a small silver gong beside the footstool. The servants standing in the niche at the door immediately walked over and said, "Take chairs and food to the guests, and no one is allowed to disturb them within an hour. I want to know how many major events have happened in places I don't know."

As several servants walked in with chairs and stools, each of them was holding a tray, which contained silver pots, silver cups and white pastries. Chu Xuan's story also began...
