Two hundred and seventy-eight, deep piercing of the marrow
Thinking that Elrond's profound wisdom was likely to be lost due to his unwillingness to marry, Vernor lamented: "The lord is of noble birth and erudition, and he should indeed inherit the fine bloodline. www.biquge.info However, if he really doesn't want to get married, other creatures shouldn't be reluctant. ”
"No living creature can force him, only Elrond has been trying to force himself. Sighing in the direction of the tallest building in Ringe, Thranduil's voice went dark. "I thought about it for a long time before I brought Celebrian to Ringe. The reason for thinking about it is whether Celebrian is the best mate for him, and why do you think so, because Elrond will not be alone forever. As long as any of the elves in Ringu were sad because of his loneliness, he would not care about his own feelings and force himself to marry. At that time, will a wise man who does not care about himself care who his wife is? Will he be able to find a lovelier companion than Celebrien? Judging from their relationship these days, and the life of Princess Celebrien, I don't think Elrond could have found a more suitable creature to be his wife than Celebrien. ”
Judging from the current situation of the elven race in Middle-earth, Thrandir was right. Vernor had no reason to refute it, but could only remind: "Although what you said is true, you ignore the most important reason. Once an elf is married, it will live forever. In addition to whether a marriage is suitable or not, it should also take into account the feelings of both parties. Although most noble marriages are motivated by profit, I still hope that the wise can live forever with the creatures they love. There is only suitability but no love, and such a marriage is a bit cruel. ”
"Love, Fnorr, you should also know that there can be no love in Elrond. Thranduil tugged at his robe and sat down directly beside Vernor. "He gave all his love to the people of the world, where did he keep the love for himself? Elrond, who cares about the people, will take all living beings to heart, but he will not take himself to heart. Is a being who is so compassionate that he doesn't care about himself at all that he has a private relationship and chooses his favorite creature to be his partner according to his personal feelings? King Sedan, who has lived for nearly 10,000 years and has been working hard for the elves migrating westward, is an example. If you had to find a little affection in them, Elrond's affection would be given to knowledge, and Sedan's would be given to the wooden boat. ”
What Thranduil said was the truth. Once a living being completely contributes to himself, he will not care about himself, and naturally there is no such thing as love. The tolerance and care of ordinary creatures for lovers is given to all living beings, and the realm of "all living beings are loved, and all living beings have nothing to love".
"So, do you hope that Celebrian's gentleness can give the lord some comfort, so that the selfless wise man can feel the nourishment of his private feelings?" that is, Elrond was selflessly moved, but he was worried about him, and Vernorr sighed helplessly.
"Before I brought Calebrian here, I kept wondering what kind of creature Elrond was, obviously the most noble elf of Middle-earth, with the blood of the two supreme royal families of Sindar and Noldor flowing through his body. If he is a little more greedy for power, coupled with his ability, he can completely use his own blood to gain the following of all the Noldor elves. In other words, he posed in front of me as a descendant of King Tingge, and even I had to bow down to him. But what is the truth? He is a lord in a small spot on the map, and he does it with pleasure. Putting on a respectful enough posture to the royal family, he has conceded to me many times. Even the territory he had built up was so dilapidated that he couldn't make ends meet. Is it Elrond's ability, insight, and state of mind that is only capable of being a lord? Of course not! It is this nasty fellow who is selfless to the end, and the happiness of other beings is his happiness. I really hope that a happy marriage, a lovely partner, can make that guy slowly learn to think more about himself. ”
Perhaps a warm family can indeed make a wise man who has been separated from his parents since he was a child and has lived alone in Middle-earth for thousands of years have some selfishness. On top of that, both elves seem to find it pleasant with each other, especially Celebrien.
Although Vernor had already acquiesced to the Elven King's approach in his heart, he still reminded him: "This kind of thing cannot ignore the feelings of the person concerned." Let the princess and the lord develop freely, and you will try to interfere as little as possible, okay?"
"Rest assured. I have brought it to Calebrian, and they will take the rest. ”
Anyway, what needs to be said has already been said. Judging from the attitude of the Lingu elves towards Princess Luolin, they are indeed the same as the woodland elves, and they can't wait for their lord to have a happy family as soon as possible. Thranduil, who had experienced the horror of the power of his people, was not at all worried, he was sure that the selfless Elrond would eventually abandon his armor at the expectation of the elves of Ringu and the gentleness of Celebrian.
"Do you feel that I am being made more selfish in front of the wise?" the teasing words that bravely exposed his own shortcomings were exchanged for a smile from Vernor, and the elf king tentatively shook the other man's hand again.
In an unfamiliar territory, Thranduil, who was not dressed as a king, looked much softer, and it also made Vernor not have the courage to withdraw his hand. She just turned away silently, so as not to make eye contact.
If it weren't for the fact that the evil still existed and not too many soldiers were arranged, the Elven King could still enjoy a long period of silence. Unfortunately, good times are always short-lived. As the patrol drew closer, Vernor took two steps back. "It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. Tomorrow, the content that the leader will talk about to the future emperor will have to be revised again. ”
Considering that there were too many woodland elves in the camp to make the move too high-profile, Thranduil dismissed the idea of letting her move back to the camp after seeing the room where Vernorr lived in the manor. Naturally, she also knew that the "going back" she was talking about at this time was not to return to the woodland camp, but to enter the lord's manor. As for Elrond's request for Vernorr to assist in compiling the book, Thranduil expressed unusual support, of course, because Vernorr in Ringu Manor was obviously not so repulsive to him. He even wished that the book had more content, so that at least it could be used as an excuse to convince himself that he could stay longer in Ringu. Even if you show support, of course, you can't stop the other party. Thranduil waved his hand at the patrol and motioned for them to go somewhere else, saying to Vernor, "Yes." I'll send you. ”
It was this ordinary behavior that made the Ano officials regret not persuading Xilana to leave Ringu, and also made the Elf King end his trip to Ringu early.
