Game In Middle Earth - Chapter 18.

“Aldarion I have a favor to ask you.” When Aldarion heard those words to Cirdan with such a serious face, his mood also changed to prepare and receive the request.

Aldarion did not know what Cirdan would ask of him, much less just after arriving in Lindon and waking up after being unconscious for a few days. He thought that if Cirdan had prophesied his arrival, maybe he had a great purpose or something like that. Maybe it was something that allowed him to continue with the missions generated by the system.

“What could this humble traveler do for you, my lord?” Aldarion told him as calmly as he could.

“Calm Mr. Aldarion. We both know that you are anything but a humble traveler, or at least your origins are not humble. Or maybe I’m wrong?” After hearing this last sentence Aldarion understood that Cirdan knew him and knew about him, so he did not try to pretend anymore.

“It’s okay, my lord, do not beat us around the bush, as you know who I am, have you already warned my brother where I am from?” Aldarion asked him as he suppressed the feeling of annoyance that was beginning to grow inside him.

“As I’ve told you before, you should calm down. I have long prophesied your arrival, but I was not the only one who knew you would arrive.” He took a short pause and continued. “Of course, your brother also knew and sent me a message asking me to welcome you as a pupil.”

“As a pupil?” Asked Aldarion surprised. “Why would you do it?” He continued.

“Of course, I do not do it just because your brother asks me to. Do not get me wrong, I respect your brother and your people very much, but that is not enough for me to do it.” Cirdan accentuated his gaze a little more on Aldarion. “However, I have seen in you someone with a lot of potential, someone who can change everything, that’s why I’m not willing to let you waste yourself in such a way.”

If you looked at Aldarion’s face you could see the face of someone who is accepting a reprimand and who has nothing to say against Cirdan, but actually in his head he thought otherwise. ‘I can not believe I’m going to be a disciple of one of the oldest elves in all of Middle-earth, or I’m very lucky or it’s thanks to the system.’

Seeing that the young man in front of the did not answer Cirdan worried thinking that Aldarion would be down for the small reprimand that he had just given him for what changed his face to a less serious and decreased his tone of voice.

The truth is that he did not want to scold him, but seeing that he was still trying to deceive him when he had already been discovered made him decide that if he did not tell him something at that time Aldarion would never change.

“Starting tomorrow, your education will begin. In the morning I will educate you in culture, art and government, while in the afternoon you will learn fencing and archery, you understand?”

“Yes, my lord.” Replied Aldarion, disguising your enthusiasm.

“Ding! System notification: the mission ‘Meet Cirdan’ has been completed. Rewards: +1000 experience points, +10 reputation points.”

After hearing the notification Aldarion was very happy, but could not do anything because as soon as he finished, Cirdan started talking again.

“Well, now let’s talk about the favor I wanted to ask you.” Cirdan started talking about the subject with a more humble tone, but still, she kept detaching the pride of an elf king.

“As you may have noticed upon meeting Erumre, she has hardly said a word. Do not take it badly Aldarion, she is like this with everyone, not only with you. As far as I know, she only agrees to talk to me.” Cirdan told him.

“Do not worry, my lord, do not take it badly. I just thought she was shy.” Aldarion answered honestly.

Listening to him, he snorted and said. “If it were shyness, there would be no problem, but what makes it so is an evil that has plagued her for centuries.”

“You will see Aldarion, she was my best friend’s daughter. Her parents died when she was still very small and since then she has not spoken more than necessary unless it is with me. Since then I have wanted to cure her, but without taking her to Valinor I do not know how to do it and she does not want to ride on any boat but it is with me.”

“And you, as King, you can not leave, right?” Said Aldarion finish.

Cirdan nodded at his words and continued. “Aldarion, the special thing I have seen in you leads me to think that you could free him from the evil that has plagued his heart for so long. If you keep it, I owe you a lot.”

Aldarion could no longer resist his emotion and put his right fist over his heart and said with a smile in his mouth. “My Lord Cirdan, I swear to you that I will do everything in my power to cure Lady Erumre.”

“Ding! System notification: you have accepted the mission ‘Heal the heart of Erumre’. ”

Since Aldarion was not going to be happy, if he had to cure her that meant that he would spend a lot of time with her and that could allow him to talk to her, he did not want anything else at the moment. In addition he had the new mission.

“Clap!” Cirdan gave a loud clap of joy that everything was fine and announced. “I’ll assign her the tasks of serving you so you’ll have more excuses to be with her.”

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll let you eat and rest easy. Remember your classes start tomorrow. “Cirdan said goodbye to Aldarion and left.

Aldarion was very nervous in bed while eating the food that Erumre had brought her. He could not with such excitement so he decided to try to distract himself, the problem is that he did not know with what, until he fell on the mission already completed and had not seen his rewards.

‘System, show me my state.’ Aldarion ordered the system.

‘Definitely, the best method to level up is to complete missions.’ He thought happily for himself.

If he raised two levels of blow it meant he had four attribute points to assign and he decided that the deal would be two points for strength and the other two for politics.

Aldarion thought that now that he was going to have to interact with more people, he had to develop his political ability because it influenced social relations.

Happy, because he had managed to take a good step to become strong Aldarion finished eating and tried to rest as much as possible.
