In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
Melisandre has almost gone through Thranduil's collection of books, but still hasn't found any records about Lord of Light. On the contrary, there are only a few records about the creator Gary.
"Creator Gary, the great one God, the all-knowing and all-powerful Supreme. He exists in the eternal palace outside the universe, and it was he who created the world of Arda..."
Every time I read this, a bold idea always flashes in Melisandre's mind.
"The creator Gary created this world, and then sent Valar to transform it. Could it be that my world was also created by the creator Gary? Lord of Light R'hllor is the Valar of that world, so he has no intersection with the world of Arda."
This idea was so bold that it directly turned Lord of Light into Gary's subordinate.
Melisandre didn't want to think about it that way, but two years of precipitation had calmed her down a lot. The closer she got to the "reality" of this world, the more she doubted everything in the past.
She said goodbye to Thranduil, left the kingdom of elves, and began to travel throughout Middle-earth.
This world has a complex biological system. There are several types of humanoid creatures, including elves, dwarves, hobbits, and oaks.
But humans are still the "rulers" of the earth. They have a huge population and their kingdoms are spread across the continent.
Melisandre Start from the Black Forest, go all the way south, pass through the Brown Land, the Ash Mountains, Mordor, and then go west to Gondor.
When she encounters danger on the road, she will call the holy name of Supreme God, and then obtain Mana using Magic.
But she is not pious, more like she is using the power of Supreme God.
The generous Supreme God didn't care about this, and generously gave Melisandre Mana who could protect himself.
Subtly, the frequency of Melisandre praying the holy name Lord of Light is decreasing, and the number of times Supreme God is chanted every day is increasing.
High in the sky.
The invisible Gary yawned. He stared at the Melisandre below and said helplessly to himself, "How long do you want to go shopping? If you continue shopping, the story of "The Lord of the Rings" will begin. Is it possible that you still want to help humans defeat the devil Sauron?"
Gary has adjusted the time flow rate in the dream, so that one year in the dream is equal to one hour in the real world.
Melisandre has been in the dreamland of "Lord of the Rings" for almost four years, and the real world is about to dawn.
Gary doesn't want his big ice balls to be discovered by Night's Watch in Castle Black, causing an uproar and spreading rumors about his affair with Melisandre.
However, Melisandre's faith is gradually drifting away, and he doesn't want to give up halfway.
There is no other way, Gary can only continue to wait.
A few months later, Melisandre followed Boromir, the son of the regent of Gondor, to the territory of the "half-elves" - Rivendell.
Wizard Gandalf the Gray and Elrond, Lord of Rivendell, invited various forces to discuss ways to fight Sauron and deal with the Lord of the Rings.
Melisandre accompanied Boromir to the meeting, but her real purpose was to meet Gandalf as "Maia".
After the meeting, Gandalf's wisdom and selflessness were recognized by Melisandre, and she shared her troubles with the elder.
Before the birth of the world, Gandalf was an old monster who lived for tens of thousands of years.
"Why don't you first find out your true intentions? Do you want to follow evil, or do you want to pursue light?"
Melisandre felt frustrated, "Lord of Light symbolizes light, Supreme God is the Creator... Both are trying to save the world, how should I choose?"
Gandalf joked, "Can a god who likes to sacrifice really symbolize light? No, he is not kind enough, compassionate enough, and just enough."
As "Maiya", in terms of status, he is a "sub-god-level" existence, very noble. What he said is quite weighty.
Melisandre couldn't refute it, but he still couldn't abandon the god he had believed in for more than two hundred years.
As the plot continues to advance, Melisandre embarks on a journey with the Fellowship of the Ring. Then she stands on the side of humans and participates in several tragic battles, fighting against the Orcs and Sauron together.
In the end, with everyone's concerted efforts, they destroyed the Supreme Lord of the Rings and defeated the Demon Lord Sauron and his Orc army.
In this world, she witnessed the fearlessness of humans, the selflessness of Gandalf, and the greed of Sauron and Oak. These experiences changed some of her ideas, making her reflect on what she had done, and at the same time re-evaluate the right and wrong of Lord of Light.
When a believer begins to doubt the god he believes in, he is no longer religious.
After the war, Melisandre, Gandalf and his party left Middle-earth by boat. They crossed the sea to Valinor in Aman to meet the Valar (gods) and other Maia.
Valinor is the "God Realm", and everything here is a holy and flawless existence. The creatures living here will not age and get sick, and the plants on the ground will not wither. It is truly a pure land of bliss, which makes Melisandre yearn for it.
Melisandre finally saw the living gods. She visited each god in turn and listened to their holy words.
A few years later, under the witness of the gods, she became a loyal believer of Supreme God Gary.
"Believer Melisandre, I am willing to follow the true light. I will no longer use the evil Blood Magic, and I will no longer kill for the sake of gods. I only hope that there will be no more suffering in the world, and no more disease and hunger in the world... In the holy name of the Lord, Gary."
An invisible "Faith Thread" flew out of her chest and floated into the sky.
Castle Black, King's Tower, morning.
Wa went down and made some wheat porridge for the baby, and coaxed the baby to fall asleep again.
With a pair of dark circles under her eyes, she returned to Melisandre's room, relit the fireplace, and continued to guard the strange big ice egg.
Until noon, the ice egg dissipated inch by inch, revealing Gary and Melisandre lying on the bed.
Gary opened his eyes first. He sat up straight and looked back at Melisandre on the bed.
At this time, Melisandre also woke up. She looked at Gary with a somewhat complicated expression.
Gary stood up quietly and asked in a pretentious manner, "Are you back?"
Melisandre's body was still in the shape of Crone. She raised her body with her arms and asked Gary: "What is everything I have experienced? A dream? Or the real world?"
Gary didn't feel that Melisandre's faith was shaken, and said with a smile, "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Melisandre's skin gradually became firmer, wrinkles disappeared quickly, and her figure regained its curves at a rapid speed.
Wa'er was stunned. Why did this old woman suddenly become a child again?
Melisandre's appearance has stopped in her early thirties, and she is younger and more beautiful than when she was wearing the ruby necklace.
Her hair has also become thicker, but it has not returned to the previous copper red color, but has the same white hair as Gary.
Melisandre got out of bed barefoot, raised her right hand, and a huge fireball formed in the palm of her hand.
Lord of Light has never given her such a powerful power. Compared with the generous Supreme God, R'hllor seems very stingy.
"Whether it's a dream or the real world. No matter what, it was a valuable experience given to me by Supreme God, which allowed me to re-examine my life."
