Existence Beyond the World

The next day, Karl and his party of 16 people appeared at the exit of Rivendell, and Elrond King Elrond came out to see them off.

He said to Gandalf: "Gandalf... the road ahead may not be so peaceful, you should be more careful."

Gandalf nodded with a smile, as a response.

Seeing this, Elrond sighed again.

Although he wanted to do something for his old friend, it was impossible to send an elf army to help Thorin and the dwarves who were on the opposite side of them regain the gem of Aken.

Moreover, there is no doubt that the evil dragon Smaug in Lonely Mountain is powerful. Only a powerful warrior or a mage and wizard who is good at powerful magic can match such a dragon.

But if you want to rely on ordinary means, rely on human sea tactics to defeat or even kill them, you don't know how many kingdom troops you will have to sacrifice.

So if he really went to help Thorin, the elves in the territory would definitely suffer casualties.

However, as the elf king of Rivendell, it is impossible for him to let his people fall into this unprovoked war, which is not in line with their interests.

Therefore, he can only pray here, hoping that Gandalf will return in triumph.

After thinking about it, Elrond rolled his eyes slightly, but when he saw the two figures beside him, his face darkened slightly.

On the side, there were two people who were holding hands tightly at this moment, reluctant to part.

Carl looked at Yawen with teary eyes, smiled reluctantly on his face and said, "Yawen, it's time to let go, I have to go."

"Carl, can't you stay a little longer?"

"cannot."

"Will you come back safe and sound?"

"certainly."

"Is it really okay for me to go with you?"

"Ask your father."

"Do you... have anything you want to say to me?"

"Well...no."

"..."

Karl finally left with the crowd, but Yawen could only stand at the city gate, watching his back gradually disappear.

Just watching, there was a burst of unpleasant words behind him: "Okay,don't look, everyone is gone, come back with me."

There was an inexplicable sour taste between the words.

Yawen cast a glance at her father Elrond, but turned her head and walked away, with a cold expression, almost engraving the word "emotion" on her face.

Of course, she was very emotional, very angry.

Because, the father she hated, let her cry and beg last night, but didn't agree to her request to go out.

But now, the sweetheart whom she misses day and night has left again, and she can't even express her miss to him properly. Thinking of not knowing when the next meeting will be, the complaint in Yawen's heart is just needless to say.

Now Yawen's dissatisfied expression was directly displayed on her face, but it made Elrond gasp for a while.

Then, looking at the back of his daughter who turned away, Elrond's breath calmed down again, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

How could he not understand his daughter's mind? As the saying goes, beauty is sad to be a hero!

Carl was indeed a "hero" in his mind.

Because after listening to Gandalf's detailed account of Karl's deeds yesterday, he has a clearer understanding of Karl, a human ranger.

Facing giants far more powerful than yourself, it is heroic to go forward without fear; it is narrow sense to see weak people being bullied, and to act righteously; it is wisdom to anticipate opportunities and cut disasters at the beginning ; Adhering to morality for three years without changing, not changing the original intention, is perseverance.

All these things show that Karl is a powerful and admirable ranger.

However, despite his outstanding character and achievements, there is still one thing that cannot be denied, that is—Karl is... a human being.

Elrond thought about it, but shook his head again, sighed again, and turned to leave slowly.

He has to think about his daughter, and there is nothing wrong with what he is doing now.

…

Karl touched the silver pendant named Comet hanging around his neck, thinking about Yawen's reluctance just now, but a smile appeared on his calm face.

It is undeniable that, as the daughter of the Elven King, Yawen, who inherited the noble royal lineage of the Noldor Elves, is indeed beautiful and heart-pounding.

Coupled with that pure and flawless heart, it is even more impossible for people to feel disgusted.

However, it was precisely because Yawen was so beautiful that Karl refused.

He thought that in the original plot, Yawen seemed to have given up the chance to return to Valinor with her parents and family because she fell in love with a human being, which eventually led to her death.

Such a fate seemed sad and somewhat unfair to Karl.

Abandoning everything for love, at first glance, it seems that it is indeed worthy of praise and admiration, and it is also worthy of praise and tears.

After all, for the sake of love, everything is abandoned, isn't that beautiful and great enough?

But, look at the end, what is Yawen's situation like?

The happy time is always short, especially for human beings, but the lifespan of a hundred years will disappear in a blink of an eye, turning into white mole and dry bones.

Yawen fell in love with a human being and abandoned everything for it. In the end, after the human died, she could only live alone on the Middle-Earth Continent.

All her kinsmen had left her by then, Rivendell was gone, the Noldor were gone, and the laughter of Lothlorian was no more. Everything about her seemed to disappear suddenly with the death of human beings.

At that time, the long life is no longer a blessing, loneliness is tormented, silence is surrounded, vitality begins to retreat, and hope begins to fade. The sprites that should have been full of brilliance...began to accept their fate—falling.

Thinking of all this, Karl felt that such a fate arrangement was extremely unfair to Yawen.

Now, Yawen seems to belong to him, but he is a human being.

Everything seems to be a joke, and fate seems to be reincarnated. Is everything going to develop according to the original track?

Karl doesn't think he is a good person, but as far as his current intentions are concerned, he doesn't seem to be bringing the future destiny of a pure soul into the established abyss track for pure desire.

Besides, when it comes to desires, Karl feels that becoming strong enough before the war comes is his most pressing desire right now.

Karl glanced again at the silver pendant that represented Yawen's expectations and blessings. Thinking of the farewell words that told him to be careful before leaving, the smile on his face slowly faded.

Thinking of putting this matter behind for the time being.

But at the next moment, another inexplicable thought flashed through Carl's

mind.

"God... seems to be able to live forever, if you say,"

He thought of another way to change his fate.

There are indeed gods and spirits in this world. They usually don't show their bodies, but they are watching everything that happens on the ground, and sometimes they even intervene in the affairs of the world.

Those guys... are the existences beyond the world, and life and death don't seem to be a big problem in their eyes.
