THE LAST HOBBIT'S

42 - Arslan's identity

Not only did Helena Vennamous look for a way to prove Arslan's identity, she also gave orders for her magic knights to go catch the young man's short-bodied comrade. He remembered Arslan had two more friends and one of them had blond hair.

Helena herself went to the place where the Hammer that Arslan had brought came from. It was the residence of Trian Shimmer Brown. The arrival of Helena along with her five magic knights made Mr. Trian flinch.

The dwarf looked at Helena Vennamous and coldly said, "I didn't make a weapon to be a display in your place. Go,"

"Hmph," Helena Vennamous glanced at one of her magic knights and the man threw a pack on the table.

Trian Shimmer Brown frowned. He noticed the cloth and then opened it. The thing that Helena Vennamous and the Lunar Orchis magic knights carried was none other than the hammer that Arslan had taken from his place.

"I'm sure you know that." Helena said, "The hammer that was used to forge the Dragon Conqueror Sword, the thing that I had been wanting to ask of you all along. Why did you give it... To that young man?"

"..............." Trian Shimmer Brown looked at Helena and said without a tone, "I will never let anyone have an object that does not belong to him. Didn't I tell you this repeatedly?"

"The young man you're talking about... None other than the original owner of this heirloom." Trian Shimmer Brown looked at the white-robed, hooded girl in front of him and re-opened her voice.

Trian Shimmer Brown said, "You better get this back to him."

"Do you think I would believe that he is Arslan Galie who has made the Dragon Conquering Sword in the past?" Helena clenched her hands. He walked over and threw something on the table. Helena said, "That guy... Not at all as I know."

Trian Shimmer Brown noticed that the one on the table was a plaque bearing the name Arslan Garielnains. He looked at the girl and heard the cold words of Helena.

"Mr Trian, what exactly is your plan? If he really was Arslan Galie, then there's no way this plaque would have written the wrong name."

"Hobbits. Mentioning this word alone, then those who live in those times of tragedy and people who study history like you will immediately remember Galie. The hero who was on the front lines and saved the world,"

Trian Shimmer Brown said, "But because of the greed of your race and the race of the elves... The hero who should be flattered now lives in regret for a lifetime,"

"Mr Trian, don't go around in circles. Arslan Galie is dead"

!!!

The words of Trian Shimmer Brown made Helena recall the words of her grandfather. There is no historical record that says that the figure who forged the Dragon Conquering Sword was killed. It is merely the supposition of those who may have misinterpreted history.

Helena took a breath, trying to calm down before finally asking. "If it's true... Then why did he reappear?"

"The world is in need of it and also because of Gearl Howl's request."

Hearing the name 'Gearl Howl' made Helena involuntarily hold her breath. He widened his eyes as if very surprised by the speech of this subject in front of him.

"Arslan had been hiding all along and only Gearl Howl knew of his whereabouts. I didn't believe what I saw myself at first" Trian Shimmer Brown took a breath and said, "I believe that he's not dead... But for years I waited... He never came back."

Trian Shimmer Brown continued, "Now he's coming and maybe this is his destiny. There must be someone who prevents a terrible tragedy from happening again and he is the right person to stop it all."

Helena watched Trian Shimmer Brown before staring at one of her magic knights. He said, "Send me a letter to Mr. Gearl Howl."

"Well, Miss." The magic knight said goodbye and left immediately.

Helena looked back at Trian Shimmer Brown and said, "You did a dangerous thing by entering into the dispute of the races fighting over the sword. Not all this time... You live well in this place? Nothing is seen with the world. Why now..."

"The balance of the world is under threat and needs people who care about it. If you have blood from the Vennamous bloodline, then you should know... What can you do." Trian Shimmer Brown turned around and walked away. He opened his voice again without stopping his steps or even staring at Helena.

Trian Shimmer Brown said, "You must never forget that your present life and the Lunar Orchis name still exist... All because of his help. Your grandfather lived to the end of his history... Never returned a single favor from Galie to him."
