Postscript: The Emperor's Enthronement

——Minas Tiris.

It has been a while since Sauron was wiped out.

Although this majestic city was once attacked by the Sauron army and now there are traces of war left on the walls, this did not destroy the joyful atmosphere in the city. Because today is the day when Aragorn ascended the throne.

Everything in the royal city was ready, and many people flocked to the royal city, because the news had spread throughout Gondor, from Mingruimon, Pinarsjelin and the distant seaside, all those who could get out of the royal city came as soon as possible. The beautiful women and children also wore many flowers and returned to the royal city again; from Dor'anros, the harpist with the best skills in the continent, as well as the six-stringed harpist, the flute, the trombone musician, and the singer with clear voices from Lanbanning.

On the last evening, the tent outside the city could be seen from the city. The city was brightly lit all night, and people were waiting for the dawn to come. When the sun rose from the mountains in the east, the shadows were no longer there; all the bells in the city were ringing, and all the flags were fluttering in the wind. The prime minister's flag on the White Tower rose solemnly in the sunlight and snow. And in the last leisure moment of this night, the few people who participated in the Battle of Mordor were talking here.

"The battle has been over for a long time, and King Eron and Queen Kelandriel have returned to their territory, and I still can't believe that we have really defeated the Dark King Soren." Dwarf Jinli said: "Even though so long has passed, I still remember the battle in my dreams."

"Ha, not only you are, but I am the same." Legolas said: "Although I have never had close contact with Sauron, but only used bows and arrows to support him from a distance, I can also feel his terror. It is completely different from us... The death rate of the coalition forces this time reached more than half, and even the King of Cavalry Xiyoudon was sacrificed in that battle, which is the best proof."

Speaking of the sacrificed people, everyone's expressions immediately became serious. They lowered their heads silently and mourned for a while before the conversation continued.

"Thanks to Zheng Zha, Canaan and others, we can win this war." After a while, Legolas spoke again: "It was they who integrated the power of humans, elves and dwarves, and they also contributed the most in the final battle. Unfortunately, after killing Soren, they did not even say goodbye and disappeared completely. No one knew where they went and where they came from... Boromo, have they mentioned it when he went to Minas Tiris with Zheng Zha and the others?"

"No, unfortunately, they never mentioned it." He did not die like in the original plot, but became the new prime minister of Minas Tiris. At this moment, Polomo, who was wearing gorgeous clothes, shook his head: "Why don't you ask Gandalf about this? Look, he is here."

As he said that, Polomo raised his hand, and everyone followed his hand, Gandalf was walking slowly towards them. Perhaps the long-standing burden had finally been put down. Since the final battle, his face had been full of smiles. Now someone asked him questions, he also responded with a big laugh, unlike before, and he was as serious as he used to keep his mouth shut about secrets.

"Hey, Gandalf!" Jin Li said hello to him: "You seem very happy, but it's the throne ceremony of Aragorn soon. Is it really okay if you are still lazy here now?"

"Aren't you the same? Let me enjoy this rare leisure time. You know, celebrations and banquets are good, but too much will be unbearable." Gandalf responded with a laugh: "But my friends, the clouds that have been shrouded in Middle-earth for a long time have finally dissipated. What else is more worthy of cheering than this?

"Well... I think about it, maybe there is?" Seeing Gandalf like this, Polomo deliberately pretended to think about it and said, "For example, let me tell us about the origins of those mysterious friends?"

"Oh... you are asking about this." Gandalf's smile disappeared, and he scratched his head with a little distress. This made him look like a respected elder, but it was even more childish: "Will you keep the secret?"

"Of course." Legolas replied.

"Then I will, too." Gandalf laughed again.

"Hey, Gandalf, you can't do this!" Jin Li, who was impatient, shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay." Seeing that he couldn't fool around, Gandalf had to raise his hand and beg for forgiveness: "Actually... I don't know much. If I really want to say it, it might be a hero."

"Heroic Spirit?" Except for Gandalf, the few people present said in unison.

"After a famous hero dies, his soul will go to Verinor and get the chance to be reborn. He appears in a critical moment and follows Vera's instructions to save the land. For example, Glauron's nemesis, Torin." Gandalf explained: "Maybe Zheng Zha and the others have similar existences."

"If this is true, then the mysterious disappearance of their lives can be explained..." Polomo said thoughtfully.

However, before they could think about it carefully, the bell in the city rang, and Gandalf also laughed and said, "Okay! It's time, everyone, it's time for us to appear. It's not good to let the protagonist wait alone for too long!"

———————————————————

When the sun rose, the Western generals led their troops to move forward and began to head towards the city. People saw their orderly march, their armor shining with silver light under the sun. They came to the gate and stopped not far from the city wall. Although all the doors were completely opened, a barrier was set up at the entrance of the city, wearing silver-black uniforms and guards with unsheathed swords. Before that, they stood the Regent Polomo, the key guard Hulin, and other generals of Gondor; the prince of Rohan, Iowin, led the Marshal Eheim and many famous cavalry, and were crowded with people wearing all kinds of clothes and holding delicious flowers on both sides of the gate.

In the passage in front of the walls of Minas Tiris, there were crowds of knights of Gondor and Rohan, next to them. The Dendans in silver-gray clothes walked out of the army, and everyone calmed down, and Aragorn followed closely behind. He was wearing black armor with silver inlaid silver and a pure white cloak, and the collar was tied with green gems shining with bright green gems, but there was no helmet on his head, only a gem that was tied with silver on his forehead. Beside him were Rohan's new king, former third marshal Iom, King Inlahir, Avan, who had just held a wedding with Aragorn a few days ago, and Gandalf in a white robe.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and Polomo and Hulin walked out of the city gate, behind them, there were only four men in fortress uniforms, holding a box made of a huge rabbi Shillong tree, with black boxes inlaid with silver edges.

Polomo walked to Aragorn, knelt down, and said, "The last prime minister of Gondor, please accept his power!"

As he said that, he handed out a white scepter, and Aragorn took over the scepter, and returned it, saying, "Your mission is not over yet. It will always be yours and will be inherited by your descendants. As long as my dynasty exists for one day, it will be like this! Please accept your scepter!"

Polomo stood up straight and announced in a clear voice: "Where are the people of Gondor, please listen to the announcement of the prime minister of this country! Attention! Finally, the human emperor of our country has returned. This is Yaragon, son of Arrathon, leader of the Dendan people of Arrathon, chief commander of the Western troops, master of the North Star, holder of the recast holy sword. He returns triumphantly and heals people's pain with both hands. He is the elves gem, the direct descendant of Valandil, son of Esidor, and the bloodline of Irandil of Numanor. Should he become the human emperor and live in the royal city?"

All the masses shouted in unison: "It should!"

Amid the cheers, the guards walked forward and asked Ferramer to open the box and take out an ancient crown. The shape looked similar to the helmet of the fortress guard, but it was more gorgeous and pure white. The wings on both sides were inlaid with silver and pearls, imitating the wings of seabirds, because this was a royal symbol from crossing the sea. The crown was inlaid with seven diamonds, and in the center was a gem that emitted the light of a flame.

Aragorn took the crown, held it high and shouted, "Eterelloendorennautlien. Private nome mammal vanarhildinyartennambar-metta!"

This is what Irandil said when he came here by the wind across the sea: "I crossed the sea and came to Middle-earth, and my descendants and I will live here until the end of the world."

To everyone's surprise, Aragorn did not put the crown on immediately. He held the crown in his hand and said, "Everyone, I have a few words to say before that."

Everyone was quiet and listened to Aragorn's words.

"Everyone, I have regained this throne with the efforts and sacrifices of many people. Some of the heroes who fought head-on with Sauron did not come here, but I do not want everyone to forget their heroic deeds."

Then, Aragorn accurately stated the names of each of the Central China Team 1, Arctic, South Yanzhou and East America Team 1. Some of these names have long been known to everyone, while others are unknown, but without exception, they are all heroes against Sauron!

"Politics, I hope you will spread their deeds and will keep their names remembered thousands of years later!"

"As you wish! Your Majesty!" a voice shouted in the crowd.

The expedition members seemed to feel the sound was familiar. They looked in the sound and suddenly found that it was the former host of the Lord of the Ring, Bilbo, the Habien, and the former host Frodo who was applauding desperately beside him.

Aragorn also noticed Frodo's traces, and he shouted, "To thank everyone, I hope the Lord of the Ring holder can hand over the crown and let Mislanda put it on for me; I hope he is willing to do so, because he is the hero who pushes everything behind his back, and this is his victory!"

Frodo's clapping hand stopped, and he looked at Aragorn blankly until Bilbo behind him pushed him with a smile, and he stumbled forward, and the people on the way smiled at him, which seemed to add to his courage and confidence. This originally ordinary Habi took the crown from Polomo and handed it to Gandalf; Aragorn knelt down, and Gandalf put the crown on for Aragorn, looked at Aragorn with an unexplainable look, and said, "It's not over yet, Aragorn, there's still a lot to do."

But before Aragorn could react, Gandalf turned around and shouted, "The day of the rule of the Human Emperor is back. May the Lord God bless you!"

At this moment, Aragorn felt his thoughts begin to become distant. He seemed to have transformed into this world, feeling joy, vitality, and laughter from the world...

When Aragorn got up again, people stared at him with tongues, because this seemed to be the first time he had shown his true face. He was as tall as the ancient emperor, overwhelming all the people nearby. He seemed to have experienced all the wind and frost, but he was in his prime. His face was wise, his hands were power and the ability to heal people, and his light was radiant all over him. The temperament on his body made everyone hold their breath unconsciously, and Gandalf felt more clearly that Aragorn's strength had obviously entered another level...

Polomo shouted: "The Emperor of Humanity is here!"
