Four hundred and ninety-one, three lists finalized
When Serdan unconsciously looked at the already dark sky outside the window, Gardo quietly glanced at the look of the ship king, stood up and said: "It is not a good thing for a king to be too smooth, and it is not a good thing to be punished but not suffered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
It was not Gardo's words, but the dazzling and unusual fireworks outside the window that made Serdan decide to punish Thrandil. As soon as Gardo finished speaking, a sharp sound sounded outside the window, followed by fireworks that flashed with colorful lights at the tail and went straight to the clouds. In the wave after wave of cheers and screams, the dazzling light has not completely disappeared, and more fireworks are chasing the tail.
It seems that the birthday feast of King Nader of Gushan has begun. When the Emperor had just lost half of his real power and was still in despair, when Elrond was confined to bed with broken bones, and when Tronas had not yet fully recovered from his wounds, the great Elven King once again hid behind the scenes, which contributed to the grandeur of the King of the Lonely Mountain, which alarmed the birthday banquets of many kingdoms.
The consistent indifferent style makes the ship king neither support nor averse to the celebration of the victor. But when the loser is not the evil faction that opposes justice, this victory banquet dressed in the skin of a birthday banquet is dazzling in the eyes of the ship king.
Even I felt glaring, let alone Valandil and the wise men who cared for him, and the thought of having to attend a feast for the King of the Lone Mountain out of respect for his allies made Serdan feel a little abusive. So he made a decision - to remove the truth of Gondor's power change from the human emperor, so that the human emperor who had just lost his power could face the whole of Middle-earth with his head held high. Of course, some people are happy and some people are sad. Behind the human emperor's ability to raise his head and chest is the elf king who has to do things for him. Using this as a lesson, just letting Thranduil take a lesson will not affect the woodland elves, and it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
"Is the Emperor of Man with Elrond? You go now. When it was time to change his dress, the king of the ship told Gardo in the presence of the human attendants: "Please wait for me at the wise man." As soon as the dinner was over, I went over to answer him. ”
Going to the dinner by himself, but letting the envoy stay with the Emperor and suffer this downfall was the best thing Serdan could think of. Although the dwarves have a delicate relationship with the elves, they are also members of the righteous camp. As the leader of the elves, or as King Linton, Serdan should not show the slightest emotion at the celebration of the Lone Mountain King. He could only ask Gardo to go to the Emperor's side to express his deep friendship.
Gardo didn't leave right away. Avoiding the slightly strange eyes of the ship king, Gardozai carefully put on the robe for the ship king. It wasn't until all the attendants left at the behest of the ship king, and Gardo, who was squatting on the ground and buttoning the corners of the ship king's robes, said in a low voice: "Although the elf king stopped before you left, it is not considered to be against your order, and naturally there is no way to act according to the assumption you said. But if His Majesty really likes Lutnath in the woodland, he will consider her a righteous daughter. ”
Before the Ship King could explain, Gardo replied, "I don't see much of that child, but your vision is always right. Your favorite child, all the elves in Linton will respect her as a princess in their hearts. The Noldor officials will not be suspicious of this matter. ”
"I really like that kid in Lutnas. However, the saying that he wanted to recognize her as a righteous daughter was just a blurt out at the time to scare Thrandil. After motioning for Gardo to get up, Serdan confessed with a serious and solemn demeanor: "King Thrandir will not allow any living being to be intimate with Lutenas, let alone sit idly by and watch Lutenas go out of his right. Any creature that wants to pick up Lutenas from Thranduil will need to face a counterattack from the Elven King and the entire Woodlands. Therefore, no matter how much I pity that child, no matter how much you expect me to have a well-behaved offspring by your side, we must not provoke the resentment of the Elf King because of our selfish desires, thus causing civil strife in the righteous camp. ”
"Then let Lutenas struggle to survive under the Elven King?" said Gardo, with some reluctance, "King Thrandir has an eccentric temperament and is moody. This time I almost kicked Lutenas straight into Villa's arms, and I don't know what will happen next time......"
"It was because the boy was moody that he needed the advice of a creature like Lutnas. At the mention of Thrandil's temperament, even Serdan couldn't help but shake his head. But the Ship King still said in an indifferent tone: "Behind King Thranduil is the entire woodland, and every move will affect the entire righteous camp. Lutnath must follow Thrandil's side, so that he has no chance to do anything that is in the hands of the righteous faction, this is my order to Lutnath. Recognize the identity of Princess Linton, and I dare to say it to scare and scare Thrandil, don't even think about it. ”
Serdan's order, Gardo would not have refutated. What's more, the king of the ship has explained the reason with the reason, and Gardo can only restrain his desire for the king of the ship to be accompanied by his juniors, and is impressed by the forward-looking advice of the king of the ship.
Before leaving, Serdan took the gift he had prepared for Nader and commanded, "I don't know how much you know about Lutnas, but you must not mention her to any living beings. ”
Gardo, who was loyal to the king of the ship, didn't even ask the reason, and just nodded and took the order. On the gorgeous and empty corridor, Gardo's expression gradually changed from indifferent to solemn. He knew why the corridor where there should have been many attendants shuttling through it was so quiet, and he also knew how much loss would be in the hall he was about to go. And it turned out exactly as he expected. How happy the birthday banquet of the King of the Lonely Mountain is, how lonely the bedroom where the emperor is located.
The Dwarven King's army was twice as large as Arnor's legions, and it was unwise to offend King Nad, so Valandil accepted Nad's invitation and ordered all of Arnor's legions to participate in the feast. And he himself shirked the banquet under the pretext that "the mentor is injured and needs to be taken care of". Considering that Nader was the highest-ranking king of the Dwarves, Valandil was reluctant to point to a few close relatives to congratulate him on his birthday, as a way to show that he did not mean not to attend. Coupled with the fact that people who did not want to talk to his mentor too much, Valandil only brought a personal attendant with him. Therefore, as soon as Gardo entered the palace, he saw the emperor with only one attendant accompanying him in the faint laughter.
Even if there is an attendant, the emperor must do everything himself. Because there are still broken leg bones in the temple, and the wise man with swollen cheeks cannot be cared for. Elrond, who had always disliked troublesome in close quarters, had to drink the potion through the hands of human attendants. Seeing Gardo come in, Elrond smiled a little embarrassedly in the dim light. And the human emperor leaning against the window restrained his depressed look and nodded slightly as a courtesy.
