The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 25 The Halls of Thranduil

For the arrival of the elves, Allen felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

The elves of the woodland kingdom will definitely come to see what's going on with their new neighbors. Allen just didn't expect it to be so soon.

In fact, Alan and his group were noticed by the elves in the Black Forest just after they arrived near Karl Rock, but they didn't care. In their long and almost infinite lives, such things were too common.

It wasn't until Alan repelled the attack of the orc king that the elves noticed. At that time, they realized that these new neighbors might not be so simple.

The matter was reported to the Elven King, but Thranduil did not pay attention to it.

The elven king sensed the growth of the dark forces and was constantly shrinking the territory of the elven kingdom.

He was happy to see Allen, a human neighbor who dared to fight against the forces of darkness, but he couldn't attract his attention.

Because this is likely to be only a flash in the pan, and soon, this human village may disappear in the hands of many half-orcs. He just issued an order to continue to observe, and he will not mention this matter anymore.

It wasn't until Allen and the others went to the Misty Mountains to fight with Polger that the situation changed again.

Alan rescued two injured Silvan elves during this expedition, and was noticed by the elves in the forest. After reporting to them, he finally aroused Thranduil's interest.

In order to show respect to Alan, he sent his son Legolas to invite Alan to his palace, and brought back the injured Silvan elf by the way.

When he heard that an elf came to visit him and invited him to be a guest in Thranduil's palace, Allen felt a little at a loss for a while.

He found several of his main subordinates, and briefly told them about the current situation, so that everyone can manage according to their past habits during this period of time.

Then there was the issue of the dwarves. He had promised before that if the elves recovered, he would arrange for the dwarves to go home. Obviously, the time had come.

Although Allen was very reluctant, he still sent someone to call Fording and others, and said to Fording and others: "My dear dwarf friends, I am very happy to inform you that the time to go home has finally come , Although I am very sad, you have helped Wilderness Village a lot during this period of time, but there is always a difference when we get together, and it is time to send you home."

After hearing this, Fording shook his head and said: "We have already discussed, my nephew Frey will stay here, and Till will also stay here to complete the work that I have not completed, so this time only You just need to send me back alone."

The reason why the old dwarf made such a move was because Fording admired Alan very much during this period of understanding.

I feel that Allen must be able to build a great human city on this land.

So Fording hopes to establish a friendship on behalf of the dwarves of Iron Hills and the humans of Wilderness Village.

The dwarves are in troubled times at this time, and one more ally will give them more strength. This matter is beneficial to the dwarves.

However, for specific matters, Old Fording still needs to go back and discuss with Dyne II, and his king will make a decision. Old Fording can only make his own suggestions.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the dwarves will never leave their own group and stay in human towns for a long time to serve other races.

Allen was very grateful for Fording's decision, and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Fording.

Afterwards, he took Fording to the entrance of the village to meet the Silvan elves from the Black Forest.

There are ten Silvan elves who came to Wilderness Village to invite Allen.

The elves are worthy of being the darling of Iluvita, and they are worthy of that sentence. The beauty of the world is reflected in them.

Each of them has a very handsome face, long hair and shawls, and a slender figure. Even if they carry their injured fellows behind their backs, they look very calm.

Especially Legolas, who led the team, had long pale golden hair and black eyebrows. Allen couldn't describe the beauty of a male elf with his own lack of language.

It can only be said that Legolas has a more handsome face than ordinary elves, and his whole body seems to exude a faint light that cannot be noticed by others.

It's just that he doesn't look very good now, he doesn't seem very happy, especially after he saw Fording following Allen, the expression on his face became even uglier.

According to the information provided by his subordinates, Allen saw Legolas leading the team from a distance.

After the two met, Alan extended an invitation to Legolas: "Your Excellency Legolas, welcome to my village, why don't we go in and talk about it, and let me show some of the friendship of the landlord."

Legolas looked at the abnormally young human leader in front of him, and was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it, he just maintained his courtesy, and responded lightly: "No need, wait for the opportunity in the future, please hurry up Get ready and follow us to my father's hall, rejoice, human beings, not just any random person can get my father's invitation."

In fact, before Legolas came, he didn't have any opinion on Alan, a human being.

On the contrary, after hearing that Allen had saved his relatives, he still had a slight affection.

But after arriving at Wilderness Village, it was discovered that Alan's men had cut down trees in the Black Forest without his father's consent.

From Legolas' point of view, this was an invasion of the territory of the Woodland Kingdom, which made him very angry, but now he had his father's life to prevent it from happening.

Now that he saw Fording, the dwarf behind Allen, Legolas became even more angry.

As we all know, the grievances between elves and dwarves can be traced back to the distant first era. Xin Ge, the first king of the Sindar tribe, did not die in the hands of Morgoth, but died in the hands of greedy dwarves. Unclear account.

Coupled with the fact that Thror, the former king under the mountain, stole their family's Starlight Gem, it's no wonder that Legolas has a good face under such circumstances.

Allen didn't mind Legolas' attitude.

At this time, Legolas, or Legolas around the time of the Battle of the Five Armies, was not mature, irritable, and childish.

In fact, he has grown up, and he is not young, but under the care of his father Thranduil, he is not mature.

It wasn't until the eve of the Lord of the Rings War that he had grown up at that time, but his temper was not particularly good.

Allen looked at Legolas who had a bad face, smiled and said, "Well, I'm ready."

Saying hello to Fording behind him, Elaine and his nine personal guards were ready to set off.

Alan originally wanted to take Jamila with him, but she was too busy to leave, so let's go again if I have a chance in the future.

As for Kress, Kress couldn't find anyone anymore, and Alan didn't want to take her there either.

When Legles saw that the dwarf Fording was going with him, he became very angry.

He frowned and said to Allen, "My father didn't invite the dwarves to his hall."

Allen looked at Old Fording, then at Legolas, and said, "Your Excellency Legolas, your father, His Majesty King Thranduy of the Woodlands, is the one who invited me, isn't he? Since he didn't specifically explain, I think the right to decide who to bring with me should belong to me, right?"

Legolas frowned even more when he heard that.

He didn't say anything more, but turned around and led the way, without turning his head, he said, "Then hurry up and follow."

Moor Village is quite far from the area where the woodland elves live.

Even with the elves leading the way, it took more than five days to walk from Wilderness Village to the secret door in front of Allen.

If it's just elves, they don't need to be so long, because elves don't need to sleep and run very fast.

But the humans and dwarves in the team need it. Fortunately, Alan and the others are not weak, and their physical fitness is very good, and they have not missed too much distance.

After entering the dark forest, Allen's first feeling was that it was dark and stuffy.

According to legend, there is a magical power in the Black Forest that can make people who enter it extremely sleepy, until they have hallucinations.

But Alan didn't have these feelings along the way. He speculated that the elves had some special way to deal with this situation, but Alan never asked more about matters related to racial confidentiality.

The days of walking in the forest are very boring, I can't see the sun, and I don't know the passage of time.

The surrounding environment seems to be the same all the time, except that the trees are still trees, there is no change at all. When it gets dark, they rest, and after dawn, everyone rushes forward with their heads depressed.

Since Legolas hadn't shown any good looks on the road, Allen had no desire to chat with him, so he could only follow the forest elves forward in silence, and the elf trail under his feet seemed to never end.

However, something good happened. The two injured Silvan elves actually began to recover.

In Alan's village before, the situation of these two elves has not improved, and now there are finally signs of improvement. Alan is quite happy for these two elves, after all, he does not want the people he finally rescued , but died in the arms of the same family, this is a tragedy, and Allen hopes that there will be fewer such tragedies as possible.

In the forest environment, Alan can't distinguish the years anymore, he just knows that he has walked for a long time.

On this day, the surrounding environment finally changed.

They walked into a forest with sparse trees, the sun appeared in the gaps in the trees, and the sunlight shone on Alan's face from time to time, making Alan feel refreshed.

Walking forward, a stone bridge appeared at Alan's feet. It was built on a turbulent river. On the opposite side of the bridge were several arches with big tree strokes. Behind the door was the entrance of a palace.

There are green hillsides on both sides of the palace. The big trees on the slopes extend all the way to the river bank, and the thick roots directly extend into the river.

After entering the palace, Allen and his men looked at the interior of the palace frequently like country bumpkins.

It's not that Alan has never seen a place more magnificent than this place, but such a magical woodland style has only been seen in movies. It is said that the palace here is also written by dwarves.

There are also some elements of magic in the palace, at least Allen thinks it is magic, such as the gate that Allen just entered, it was closed by itself, and those silver-white lights, I can’t see why they light up, But they are very stable, just like the electric lights in the previous life.

For Allen, who has been using candles for two months, this has an inexplicable intimacy.

Everyone stopped in front of a corridor formed by the roots of a big tree.

Legolas went in to report, and soon, Legolas appeared in front of Alan again with some elves.

"You can come with me to meet my father. Your subordinates will be well received by my people, including this dwarf from the Iron Hills."

Aaron has never worried about the dwarves, and Thranduy will definitely not embarrass old Fordring. In the movie and the original book, even if Thorin rejected his proposal, he just locked them up, delicious Delicious drinks are served.

This Sindar elf is a wise king. Although he is a bit of a nerd, he keeps shrinking the territory of the woodland kingdom. Allen speculates that it is because he cherishes the lives of his relatives very much.

Although the elves die, they will go to the Mandos Hall in Valinor to reincarnate.

But the elves in the Black Forest are different. Whether it is the Silvan elves who originally lived here, or the Sindar elves who migrated later, they are unwilling to go to Valinor.

They like to live in Middle-earth. Whether it is their former leader Orofer or the current leader Thranduil, they all respect the traditions here.

After Alan saw Thranduil, he was once again ashamed of his lack of vocabulary. He could only say that he was a Sindar elf comparable to Legolas.

Unlike Legolas, he has a dignified manner and a calm face, which can be seen as a majestic king.

Wearing a crown made of flowers, he sat on a carved wooden chair, with a smile in his eyes, watching Legolas lead Allen to his throne.

The king got up and stepped down from his throne. With a bright face, he said with a smile: "Welcome the benefactor who saved my family, come to my palace as a guest."

Allen nodded to Thranduy. He was a little nervous and subconsciously said a little more.

"Dear Your Excellency Thranduil, you are welcome. The story of mutual help between you and me can even be traced back to the Battle of Tears in the First Era. The great King Thingol among the elves even adopted Turin Tulumbar, the son of Hurin, was somewhat unhappy afterwards, but it is also a story worthy of praise. There are also rumors that Beren of the human race married the daughter of King Thingol, but it was too long ago and cannot be verified. Compared with the great deeds that happened thousands of years ago between you and my race, what is the trivial thing I did?"

What Allen said surprised Thranduil a little.

These deeds that happened thousands of years ago are not something that a young human being can casually say. He even began to suspect that the young man in front of him was not human anymore.

But Thranduil didn't find anything unusual about Alan, so he could only look at the black-haired Alan and asked tentatively, "Are you a descendant of the Beor clan or the Hador clan?" (Allen said one of the Beor's, and the other of the Hador's, one of the ancestors of the Men of Middle-earth)

Allen saw the surprise in Thranduy's eyes, and said, "Look at my hair color, you can tell that I am not a descendant of the Hador family. My family has many books that record history. From thousands of years ago to the recent ones, I am obsessed with them, but ironically, there is no origin of our family in the scrolls."

Thranduil felt relieved, and jokingly said, "I never thought that there would be a young wise man standing in front of me. Forgive my rudeness, please follow me."

Alan said quickly: "In front of the wise King Thranduil, how dare I call myself a wise man, just call me Alan."

After hearing this, Thranduy smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared quickly.

Afterwards, everyone came to the king's banquet hall, and Aaron, Thranduil, and Legolas sat down at a separate dining table.

The elves began to hand over delicious food and mellow wine one after another. Thranduil welcomed Ellen again and announced that the banquet had begun.

Thranduy took a sip of the wine in his glass and said casually: "Then, young wise man, do you know if there is any record in your family about the grievances between our family and the dwarves?"

Allen stopped eating, pondered in his heart, and said slowly: "There are indeed some tragic stories that should not have happened, and they are recorded in my family's books, such as Naogrami, who was inlaid with precious stones. It is a sad thing, O Lord Thingol, who fell at the hand of the dwarves."

Speaking of this, Alan paused, looked at Thranduil and continued: "For another example, a recent incident happened. Under the control of the Ring of Disease and Strength, Thror, the former King of the Mountain, Stealing your family's treasure, the Starlight Gem, is also something that shouldn't have happened."

Having said that, Allen paused for a moment, and then said:
"This can't help but remind me of a saying that a wise man of our family said. That is, human beings often want to learn from past events, but often the lesson they learn is that human beings never learn. I think this sentence It can also be used to summarize the two stories I just told."

Thranduy's expression became serious, he stared at Alan and said, "That's not a story, Alan, since you know all these things, why did you dare to bring the dwarves to my palace?"

At this time, not only Thranduil, but even Legolas stared at Allen, waiting for Allen's answer.

Allen looked at the two Sindar elves staring at him, slowly got up, stood up straight, and said slowly: "Dear Your Excellency Thranduil, I think that there is no difference between the dwarves and the elves. There is only enmity, but there is also great friendship. Humans and dwarves are the same. We once fought side by side against the enemy, didn't we? I rescued them dying from the hands of dark minions in the dark tunnel of the Misty Mountains. Then I think , I have the responsibility to send them back to my home safely, not to mention that they have helped us a lot during this time, I hope you, who are wise and kind, can forgive my little offense."

In fact, Thranduil didn't mind that Alan brought the dwarves to his hall and became a king for thousands of years. He still has some guts for this. He just wanted to see how the young man in front of him would answer this question. It's just a problem.

Allen's answer satisfied him. He who has lived for countless years can fully see that the young man in front of him is indeed sincere and wants to send the dwarf named Fording back to Iron Hills.

Thranduil smiled slightly, and this smile was not even easily noticed by others. He felt that he had met a very interesting young human being today.

In his long life, he has seen countless human beings, including some outstanding kings, but the young man in front of him gave him a feeling that compared with those immortal kings, Alan would not Where are they worse than before.

"Of course I don't mind this little offense. I even want to invite you to be my guest here, but I think you must be eager to send that dwarf named Fording back to his hometown."

Thranduil turned his head to Legolas and said, "I hope you, as a guide, will lead Alan and the others to the Iron Hills, and you will come back."

Legolas nodded and agreed. Through this conversation, his perception of Allen also changed. Some events in Allen's mouth, even he didn't know the details.

After hearing this, Allen nodded to Thranduy to thank him. He knew that he should have gained the friendship of the woodland elves.

The banquet ended with the guests enjoying themselves.

And after Alan rested in Thranduil's palace for a day, he set off towards the Iron Hills again.
