Chapter 26
After knowing the latest news about the orcs, Gandalf hurried to Thranduil's office.But he waited and turned around in Thranduil's office for several times before he finally arrived at Thranduil, who came late.
He is really not in a hurry, Gandalf sighed in his heart.
But although Thranduil's face was calm and his clothes were neat, Gandalf always felt that something was wrong.After careful observation, he found that although he tried his best to maintain his image, he walked in a hurry, as if something was chasing him behind him, and the hair under his crown was not as neat and orderly as usual, just like golden hair. It was pouring gorgeously like a waterfall into the cloak behind her, but there were a few strands of frizz protruding out, as if someone had rubbed her vigorously.
Gandalf, who instantly understood what was going on, took a few steps forward, with an irrepressible smile on his lips: "Your Majesty's spirit looks good, that's great."
Thranduil stared.
Where does he look good?
Following Gandalf's gaze, he resisted the urge to straighten his hair, and his pink and moist lips were tightly pursed.
He was almost driven crazy by that dragon!If it weren't for the only reason that kept talking in his ears about how many uncontrollable harms would be caused to him once Jiao Lading was exposed, he would definitely expose the fire dragon's old background!
calm down!The most important thing now is not the damn dragon!
Thranduil ignored Gandalf, but walked directly to the front of the map that he had only seen during the day, and tapped lightly with his fingers: "They are moving very fast, and they have reached the western border of my kingdom... ...The speed of traveling in the forest will not be faster, but once they enter the plains, they will be able to enter the Misty Mountains immediately with the Wargs. It seems that Sauron is bound to win Moria?"
"Obviously. When did he act wrong?" Gandalf straightened his clothes.Because he just heard the news of the orcs from the mouths of the elves, he got up anxiously, so his clothes were a little messy.
Thranduil carefully observed the maps that had already been firmly engraved in his mind, and then he left there, came to his large desk, turned around, the corner of his robe flew up and hung on the armrest, he Only then sat down slowly and said, "I have already issued an order for the patrol to avoid them."
So just die and let him help the dwarf's heart.
Of course Gandalf could hear the meaning of Thranduil's words, but he, who also sat down under the throne, didn't take Thranduil's rejection seriously.No, maybe he knew that in the end, Thranduil would definitely join the alliance for the safety of the entire Middle-earth world and the people of his own kingdom. Now that the forces of darkness have awakened and the half-orcs are menacing, since they are unstoppable, Then it's the same in another way.
"So, what are you going to do, Myslandi?" Thranduil leaned sideways and put his left leg on top of his right leg. It was obviously a very imposing posture, but when he did it, it only made people feel imposing. Forceful rather than vulgar.He was playing with his scepter, and the white gem on it was his only consolation now that he had a dragon.
Gandalf unceremoniously picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine, took a sip and blinked his eyes at Thranduil before saying: "It seems that before I see Bahrain again, I have to visit Elrond first." Lord De. Since Sauron is in such a hurry, they will definitely be discovered by all parties who are in a hurry to take a shortcut in the future. A large number of half-orc troops left Dol Guldur and went deep into the Misty Mountains... I think everyone I probably haven't been able to sleep lately."
"Really?" Thranduil smiled indifferently, put the scepter on the throne, pulled a piece of parchment from the desk that was almost full of official documents, and then picked up the feather in the ink bottle The pen tapped the black ink on the bottom of the bottle, and the beautiful cursive characters on the bottom of the hand appeared little by little on the paper, like beautiful patterns twisted and twisted by thorns: "Since you are going to see Elrond, please take this A letter was brought to Elrond."
"Of course, my lord." Gandalf laughed, his piercing eyes shaded by deep wrinkles at the corners.
The large land of Lovagnan is surrounded by plains except for the green forests.Even the gray mountain closest to the forest and the green forest are separated by a long and narrow land that is still extremely flat.The elves of Silvan live in their favorite forest. Although their residence is not large, the border of the woodland kingdom is not narrow because of the area of the green forest itself.
The elves of the patrol team have been following these half-orcs for some days. They are scattered in the surrounding trees, quietly observing and assessing the threat these half-orcs pose to the green forest.
"They are about to leave the country, should we still follow, Captain Yulaiya?" A young elf standing on a tree looked at the surreptitious half-orcs from afar and asked his captain softly.
"Don't worry about extra things, Eliade, since they didn't cause trouble in the country, as long as they leave our country, we are ready to go back. Anyway, the situation here has been reported, and the next thing is up to the king How did you decide?" Yulaiya is a handsome Silvan elf, with long red hair braided around the ears and tied behind his head to prevent the long hair from slipping and blocking the sight, and let him scatter on his shoulders.He leaned on the trunk of a big tree and stood on the thick branches, covered by the dark and dense leaves, his eyes never left the orcs for a moment.
"But let them go like this? I'm really not reconciled! They can come and go freely on our land...as if this is their territory." Eliade said angrily.
"Although the king's order is to seal off the country's borders and not let anyone go out or come in, the target of these half-orcs is obviously not us, so why should we stop them, and fight a tough battle for others for nothing." Yulaiya touched The bowstring of the bow and arrow on the lower back was not moved by Iliad's blood.His fingers slowly slid across the icy bowstring, his face remained unmoved, appearing a little indifferent.
"Okay." The young elf felt a little tired from the blow. He squatted on the top of a tree, silently waiting for the orc to leave.But at the moment when he was distracted, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and before he could dodge it, he was carried away from the treetop by the momentum from his chest, and hit the ground heavily.
The thick fallen leaves made a crackling sound, and all the elves drew up the bows they had carried on their backs. There was the sound of drawing arrows in the quiver and suddenly pulling the bow and arrows, accompanied by the roar of the half-orcs who suddenly turned their heads to attack. , in this silent forest in the middle of the night, it is particularly infiltrating.
Gandalf was leaving the Green Forest early next morning.Thranduil opened the magic gate of the palace and personally sent this old friend who was rarely seen unless something happened.
The edge of the palace is a place rarely exposed to sunlight. Gandalf held his pointed wizard hat and led the horse, and said goodbye to Thranduil with a smile in the sun.
"Why didn't you see that beautiful lady?" Gandalf and Thranduil joked.However, Thranduil obviously didn't want to mention the fire dragon who never had the habit of getting up early and liked to sleep until he woke up naturally and couldn't even kick. He just said to Gandalf, "Do you really need me to send someone to see you off? Mythlandi? The forest is not peaceful recently." Thranduil's characteristic eyebrows were frowned, and he was very worried about Gandalf walking alone in the forest that was increasingly infested by darkness.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed one of the first few people to feel the awakening of darkness.Animals and trees are friends of the elf, and there are few barriers between his domain and Dol Guldur.He is familiar with the changes in the forest over the years. The darkness is eroding his territory, and those disgusting dark creatures are rampant in his territory. They show the awakening of the darkness without any scruples, reminding Thranduil that there may be another big war not far behind.
It's just that he doesn't want to control or say...he dare not take risks. Although his people are not afraid of dark forces, they can't be rash and blind just because of a few words from others and a crisis that hasn't really manifested yet. sacrifice.
He himself is eternal, and so is his kingdom.If Sauron can learn the lesson of his last failure and know not to attack his kingdom, then he is still willing to go on like this. After all, the noble slogan of fighting for the survival and justice of the people of Middle-earth is really incompatible with his character. do not match.
Gandalf waved his hands when he heard Thranduil bring up this topic again, and directly refused: "No, no, I don't need my Majesty, a wizard doesn't need a guard."
"Okay, if you insist." Thranduil reluctantly compromised.
They waved goodbye in front of the palace, and watched Gandalf's white horse disappear down the path in the forest with the sound of kicking and trampling. When Thranduil turned around and prepared to return to the palace, he heard the hoofbeats of the horses that had just disappeared. The waste material came here at a faster speed before.He turned and saw Gandalf riding a horse with an elf on his back.
The elf fell powerlessly on the horse's back, the green hunting suit was almost stained black with the dried blood, and the pungent smell of blood could be smelled from afar.His long dark brown hair covered his face, even though he was unconscious, he was still holding a dagger tightly in his hand.
"What's going on here!" Thranduil stepped forward a few steps, and the guards who had just moved away in order not to disturb the two people's farewell also followed, and surrounded the two vigilantly.
With brown hair and a green hunting suit, one can tell it's Silvain.
"I don't know, he's still alive!" Gandalf reined in his horse and carefully dismounted to avoid touching the wounded on the horse, while the elves on the side rushed forward to lift the elf off for treatment.
"This is Iliad." Although there was a lot of blood on his face and his breath was weak, some elves recognized him and shouted softly: "He is a member of the patrol team. I remember his team leader is Uriah, the task now seems to be patrolling the western border."
Thranduil's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched violently, and Gandalf was startled by the cold expression on his face.
"Orc's arrow." Jolatine's voice came, and Thranduil turned his head abruptly, and found that she had appeared behind him at some point, staring at the dying wounded.
"He's testing me! Damn it!" Thranduil's voice seemed to be squeezed through his teeth.
"Darkness does not exist in a certain person, but in people's hearts." The corners of Jiao Ladin's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, his eyes were full of dark light, but his hand stretched out, holding Thranduil firmly Pinching the fingers in the palm of his hand, he gently opened them one by one: "Only in darkness can one understand darkness."
You let him go, so he tested you step by step.
Gandalf's sharp gaze swept across Jolatin, then the painfully distorted faces of the wounded, and the elves busy on the ground rescuing the wounded. After a long time, he said solemnly to Thranduil: "Your kingdom is no longer safe. .”
The author has something to say: Wei Mao is now updated every day in the middle of the night!No way! TT
In fact, Seddy has always had a taste of being alone in the movie. As long as it is not my business and does not harm my interests and my subjects, I don't care. But Sauron's purpose is to rule the entire Middle-Earth and spread darkness to the world. Everywhere on the earth (great dreams... this kind of great dream can be overthrown by warriors at a glance), so Seddy's country is inevitable, this time it is just a reminder and stimulation from Seddy.
In fact, Sauron does not want to be an enemy of Seddy for the time being. He wants to make friends with one and attack the other. However, the method he chose is not right. He is threatening and deterring, and what Seddy hates most is someone threatening... ...So....It can only be said that Sauron pissed off Seddy...
