There weren't many natives who knew about Ling Qi, and when his reputation spread in Middle-earth, there were very few people who really knew him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And among them, those who know him, or think they know him, are in the single digits.

The lord of the land of mead, the king of the sound people, the friend of the elves, and the powerful half-elf warrior.

Most people who have heard the name Lynch have only used him and his rich territory as after-dinner conversations.

Among the countless rumors about him, only a small part of them are valuable, and half of them are rumors after hearsay, and in the end it is no longer known who they are talking about.

Of all the natives he came into contact with, Elrond was probably one of the few who "knew him better". At least the elven king has seen his true body and knows his "past" better - the elves have a lot of ability to spy on intelligence.

However, how could Elrond, who had obtained someone's first-hand information after repeated investigation and speculation, casually tell the secret of the person he hoped for?

In addition to chatting with two or three relatives, as well as a few elf kings of the same level as him, even the close attendants who had followed him for many years did not understand the reason for his kindness to the half-elf man.

In Changhu Town, when he came to the mayor's mansion, which had almost been emptied, and sat down in the living room on the second floor, Ling Qi first clapped his hands and motioned for the attendants to light more candles, and then let the subordinates serve some fresh vegetables and fruits that the elves loved, and then asked Coco, who had half of the Xinda elven bloodline:

"I sent an envoy to your land before, and I heard that His Highness Leo is ill, but I don't know where he is..."

Ling Qi didn't shy away from Rivendell's messenger when he said this, which surprised Coco a little.

Chillred, who was sitting across from him, obviously misunderstood Ling Qi's honesty, and felt a little touched, on the surface, this pure-blooded Sindar elf did not change, but in private, he thought, no wonder His Majesty Elrond regarded this Ling Qi as his own person.

The forest elven kingdom in the dark and dense forest, Rivendell near the highest pass of the Misty Mountains, and the mysterious Roslorian are all elven territories in Middle-earth, and they are also harmonious with each other, but they are by no means as close as a family.

The three elven kings have secret agreements and alliances with each other, but the elves under their command also have their own scope of activities and a sense of territorial belonging like ordinary human subjects.

"Ahem, thanks to your lordship, Your Highness has recovered. In addition, he specifically asked me to apologize to you, the last time you sent someone, he happened... Therefore, in the future, we will follow exactly that..."

Ling Qi didn't wait for him to finish, he waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"With my friendship with him, I don't need much explanation at all. I understand what he means, you don't have to say it again. ”

His words surprised both of them, obviously they didn't expect that this lord would be so familiar with the rookie prince Leo who was quite famous among the elves, and they didn't know if they were pretending to be posturing.

"Leo asked you to come over this time, is there anything else besides saying that?"

"In addition, Lord Thranduil sent you as an envoy, so he shouldn't just ask about Gushan's movements!"

Ling Qi went straight to the point, eliminating a lot of politeness and red tape.

This made Coco slightly stunned, the elves have never been impatient, of course, he quickly recovered his bearing, and took out two letters from his arms.

The envelopes of these two letters have strange rune marks, like entangled vines, containing faint magical fluctuations, presumably to prevent theft by unrelated people, and to serve as a secret and identification function.

These runes happened to be seen in Rivendell's ancient books, and they really didn't have any special use, just a "common" encryption method for letters. If it is not the person who wants the owner of the letter to get it, once it is opened without permission, the letter will be shattered as soon as possible.

A practical little magic is rare in today's Middle-earth, after all, when magic is used, it is beyond common sense. This means that the owner of the letter considers it important and shows respect and prudence.

After Ling Qi got his hand, he nodded, and did not open it in front of the envoy.

"Mr. Chirred, I don't know Your Majesty Elrond..."

The elven envoy from Rivendell nodded slightly towards Ling Qi and took out a letter from his bosom as well.

The envelope is similarly encrypted, but the letter paper is emerald gold, slightly different from the forest elf kingdom's iconic grass green, which is a difference in lifestyle and aesthetic habits between the two places.

Ling Qi bowed his head as usual and took it into his arms.

Seeing that the lord of Changhu Town had no intention of opening the secret letter in front of them at all, the two postmen couldn't help but be a little disappointed and embarrassed, especially Chery, who was a cut above the person opposite in terms of bloodline and identity.

Under normal circumstances, only communication between the Elven King and the Elven King requires a high degree of secrecy. And in the past, the envoys of the elves to the human territory were more like angels announcing the holy decree, which lord dared not to scold them, and he was eager to contribute to the little secrets of good things.

This time, even if they had their own missions and consciousnesses, and had seen the strength of Changhu Town, they had never regarded Ling Qi as a high-ranking elf king.

They respect him, but they are not afraid, let alone worship him, which is a kind of mental inertia.

"Ahem... Because of the accident that the envoy was intercepted last time, His Majesty will use such a cautious way this time..."

As a pure-blooded Sinda elf, and at the same time an old man who has served King Elon for more than 2,000 years, he doesn't feel that this Lynch is qualified to be on an equal footing with King Elon, which makes Chery can't help but explain to Coco opposite.

In Chirred's mind, even the other elven kings were far less lofty than Elrond's, not to mention Ling Qi, a half-elf who was outcast.

Of course, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Ling Qi, and some of the other party's previous behaviors made him feel a little kind, so he just subconsciously explained a sentence and didn't say anything more.

Coco smiled when he heard this, his mother was an ordinary Sylvan elf, who could serve the most promising prince of his clan, and he was already a beautiful man.

Because of his identity, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being short in front of the prince's friends, even if he felt uncomfortable, he wouldn't say it, he didn't think he was qualified to represent the entire forest elf kingdom. Since the lords and princes decided to do so, they had their own reasons.

Ling Qi captured the details of the different expressions of the two envoys under the same elegant expression, motioned for the two to dine again, and ate some fruits and vegetables together, and then left under their eyes.

"Mr. Coco, I wonder how this Lord Lynch and His Highness Leo got acquainted, and I wonder if you could share this secret so that we can be more like friends and honest with each other. ”

"This Mr. Lynch... I've seen it in Rivendell before, but I don't have the majesty I have now. ”

After Ling Qi left, not long after, seeing that Coco seemed to have the intention of leaving, Chirred hurriedly asked. Coco, who was opposite him, just removed the butt of the chair and fell back, picked up the third apple tonight, took a bite, and swept the surroundings, before winking at Chery, pretending to reply mysteriously:

"Mr. Chery, about this Mr. Lynch... I don't know much more than you do. As for His Royal Highness..."

Seeing Chillred prick up his ears, Coco grinned:

"I never talk about the master's affairs in private, this is the most basic quality of those of us who are subordinates. ”

When Killred heard this, his face immediately sank, but Coco, who was sitting opposite him, smiled reservedly...

Back in the bedroom, Ling Qi walked to the window, lit the candle, and opened the envelope.

There is a natural fragrance on the letterhead, and the page from Rivendell has more of a breath of life.

The content of the three letters is not long, except for greetings from Elendil, and some polite words, the other two are basically straight to the point.

Leo came to say that he was very worried about the loss of his psychic connection with Ling Qi. However, he also reassured Ling Qi that he would always be his most loyal retinue.

In addition, Leo also tells Ling Qi to be careful of his brother, Legolas, the elven prince who has the opposite opinion of Elrond and himself in his attitude towards Long Lake, and does not understand what he is afraid of.

Ling Qi's wariness of Legolas was equally unclear, but he chose to trust Leo's judgment and temporarily classified the man as a potential enemy.

There is also the repetition of several letters, Thranduil expressed it more directly, Leo is more like thinking about the interests of Ling Qi, and Elrond also attached a simple speculation and analysis, all about the change of the Lonely Mountain and the comeback of Sauron!

The Elven King of the Forest Elven Kingdom has realized the impact of Sauron's comeback on the world pattern, and he has decided to fully support the town of Long Lake and make it a sentinel against evil!

Leo stated that he would act as a link between the two places, and do his best to help Ling Qi claim more aid and benefits from the Forest Elf Kingdom.

Ling Qi put down two letterheads that looked like large green leaves, and sneered slightly. No amount of assistance would be tantamount to using him as a gunman! Loyalty? He had heard enough of similar words! I wonder if Leo was really loyal to the extent that he had the same heart as him, guessed his whole plan, or had other thoughts after losing the most direct means of restraint!

He tugged at King Elrond's letter again, frowning slightly, and finally tore it to shreds.

For some reason, standing in his current position and from the perspective of others, he felt that only this elf king, who had no friendship, was really planning for him.

This feeling did not move him, because the doubts were much stronger than the feelings. Elrond, is he really that optimistic?

In King Elron's letter, apart from encouragement and the support of the same person, there is only one thing that is different!

That is to analyze Sauron's comeback and the current situation of "Lynch" from the perspective of the Elven King.

The former was similar to Ling Qi's own guess, and the latter had more details that even he subconsciously ignored, or he didn't expect the situation to be so serious!
