As soon as the words fell, a scream that pierced the clouds came from the medical room behind the Elf King. Almost at www.biquge.info the same time, Thranduil felt that the anger that had been restrained in his heart was ignited, and the speed burned his entire body.

Throwing the wine glass that had been held tightly in his hand to calm his mood towards Norling, the Elven King roared with his hands trembling lightly: "Woodland Elf Norlin, if I remember correctly, as the driver of the Ministry of Trade, your position is to be responsible for the acceptance and escort of materials. Who gave you the right to take the children to the Gondor grain cart without permission, and who gave you the right to leave the immediate route and let the children pass through the entrance to Mordor?"

"No living being has given me such a right. It's all my fault. Glancing at the beloved King one last time with teary eyes, Norrin prostrated himself and made a request. "Please give me the opportunity to atone for my sins with death. ”

It is true that Norlin, as a coachman, does not have the right to take the children out of the country without permission, and the grain carts escorted from Gondor do not need to pass through the entrance of Mordor on the established route. For nearly a decade, Norling, like all the elves in charge of transporting supplies in the woodlands, had never encountered any danger during the escort, not even the chance to get close to the enemy. This time, Norlin felt hopelessly wrong.

On the day of departure, when he checked the carriage for the last time, as soon as he lifted the canvas covering the carriage, a dozen children in their twenties pounced on him.

"We haven't been in a carriage for a long time. The biggest-looking boy grabbed Norling's arm and said, "Take us in a carriage." ”

Norrin knew that these children, like herself, had lost all their relatives in the war. Only children who have lost all their relatives are taken care of by the elves appointed by the king himself. At present, there are not many adult elves in the woodland kingdom, and half of them are still soldiers with national defense missions, so the dozen or so elves who are assigned to take care of the children are responsible for taking care of more than a few hundred children at the same time. Although the King's Advisor would come to help every afternoon with a few maids, and the Elven King would take part in the childcare work when he was free, it would always happen that mischievous children would sneak out together.

Due to the fact that the Elven King has carried out a very thorough cleaning in the country, there are no Oaks in the Woodland Kingdom. The poison of war has also made the great green forest no longer flourish in the past, the number of animals has plummeted, and there are no large beasts, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the children, and the elves who take care of the children can also let them go out with them occasionally. Anyway, when they encounter the children's creatures, whether they are forest people or people from other countries, they will send the children back before sunset or send them to explain the situation.

Two years ago, a few Bion people who entered the woodland kingdom were able to do some small magic tricks, which attracted more than a dozen children to follow them for three days until the Bion people left the woodland kingdom. A few years earlier, there was a child who wanted to see Changhe Town on the water, and hid in the carriage of Changhe Town and went abroad. Of course, whether it is the children who go abroad or the elves who wander in the forest, as long as the identity of the people of the woodland is revealed, they will be properly sent back. Perhaps it was this that happened many times that the children would be sent back unharmed, and the elves who took care of them were quite indifferent to the matter.

Looking at the children, who had lost all their relatives like herself, Norling, who was less than three years old, did not refuse them and got on the horse with a smile. This was the first mistake he made. Then, he made a second mistake - under the coquettishness of the children, he took them to meet with the dozen or so elves accompanying him according to Gu Yuan's plan, and went to Gondor to receive the materials together.

Norling's carriage was designed to load the food and supplies that would be used on the way, but there was plenty of room for the supplies to be loaded. And the adult elves who rushed to take care of them when they heard the news obviously couldn't bear to persuade the enthusiastic children to go back. In the midst of the childish urging of "hurry up", the elves in charge of their care had to repeatedly tell Norlin to pay attention to safety.

Since the end of the Second Age of the Third Era, the woodland elves in charge of transporting them have never encountered any accidents on their way back and forth. Not only the escort team going back and forth to Gondor, it can be said that the elves of the Woodland Kingdom who went to any of the trade regions did not encounter any real danger on the way. So all the elves had no opinion on this decision, including Vernor, who learned of this information.

"The route to and from is set by His Majesty, and on the way back, he is accompanied by a caravan of nearly 100 people from Gondor. If the kids want to go and see it, go for it. Let the escorted elves take care of them. With that, Vernor turned to the dozens of children who had been clamoring to go, and said, "There is only one carriage, and there is no room for you little naughty." So, they go to the human kingdom, and you come with me to the dwarven kingdom to have a look?"

On the twelfth day after Vernorr led a dozen woodland orphans back safely from the Lonely Mountain, Norlin set up a carriage without authorization, and took a dozen young elves sitting in the carriage to break away from the caravan returning to the woodland kingdom.

"Why does the enemy turn and flee when he sees the flag of the woodland? Of course, it is because our Majesty has inflicted heavy damage on the enemy and has scared the enemy. Norrin proudly stretched out her hand to the heavy closed door of Mordor, and turned sideways to the children behind her, "This is there." Your Majesty fought there for seven years, do you know how heroic His Majesty is on the battlefield?"

"I don't know. Where did Your Majesty kill the enemy?" and then, with the same proud faces, pulled the flag of the woodland and demanded that Norlin drive the carriage over.

Do you really want to go to the gate of Mordor and let the children see the place where the king has made great achievements? But a child's next actions and words made him no longer hesitate.

"They killed all my relatives, and I'm going to kill them when I'm older. A child pulling the flag said with a begging look, "I can't kill them now, but I can scare them with our flag." ”

This suggestion was quickly echoed by all the children. Looking at the woodland flag planted in the carriage and fluttering with it, Norlin, who was at the end of the line, pulled the reins and drove the horses slowly towards the entrance to Mordor......

Due to the obscuration of the buildings and the mountains, there was not even a breeze when the carriage reached some distance from the black gate of Mordor. Norling, who had just come of age, was not aware of this subtle change. It wasn't until a team of orcs screamed and rushed in the distance that he subconsciously turned his head to look at the flag planted in the carriage.
