Five hundred and thirty-eight, goods and kings
Vernor's response every time was to quickly bring the brilliant flowers out of Thrandil's reach, and then smiled and echoed: "You are the most honorable place in the woodland, who dares to let you serve the plants?" Even if you want to, there are naturally florists at your disposal, so where do you need to do it yourself? ”
Wouldn't you be able to call the gardeners of the whole kingdom too? Why get your hands dirty?
Thinking that the orchid was almost carried by Vernor, and even put it next to him when he slept, Thranduil could not calm the rushing emotions. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to prevent the impulse to smash the orchid, he quickly got up and left. It wasn't until this happened several times that Vernore told him where the orchid came from.
"It grows snuckly next to it and enjoys care with those plants. After a boom, all the plants died, but it actually sprouted. At that time, I thought, this must be a gift from the Creator. In this way, Iru encouraged me not to be discouraged. Bowing to the west reverently, Vernoll looked at the orchid and said affectionately, "How can Ilu's gift not be treated well?" ”
That plant has something to do with Okpa, so I don't dare say anything so you don't get angry. Why is there another Iluk's bounty orchid? The main thing about creation is that they really care about ordinary beings like us, and they have already made me get what I want, so where will you continue to refuse to accept me? Could it be that I'm not religious enough that Iluvita won't even give me encouragement?
Thranduil, who had not offered a branch to Eru for several years because he was busy, decided that no matter how busy he was, he could not skip the ritual of worshiping Iru! After that, the first branch and leaf to touch the Elven King every year would always be broken off by him himself and sent to the altar of Iru - touching his own branches and leaves was regarded by the forest elves as a warning and caress to Ilu. They believe that Eru reminded the living beings to regulate themselves in this way, and that Eru touched his firstborn children in this way. The offering of branches and leaves at the altar as a sign of receipt of a gift from Iru is a ritual that has been in place since the elves lived in the forest.
Whether the pious worship touched Iru, Thrandir did not know. All he knew was that the orchid, which Vernorr regarded as a gift from the Creator, was better off not to challenge. But at this time, the book that Vernoll was preoccupied with was only the notes of the ship king, and had nothing to do with Iru......
Putting the poured wine directly between Vernoll and the notes, Thranduil, who had been neglected for a long time, muttered, "Why are you reading so many books?" ”
Blocked from view, Vernoll had no choice but to take the wine.
"I don't read a lot of books at all." Sensing that Thranduil was a little angry, she temporarily closed the notes that recorded the prizes in the various seas of Zhongzhou. Shaking the glass of wine with the liquid, she said with some shame: "If the book that Elrond reads is equivalent to this glass of wine, the book I read is at most a drop in it." There is no way to compare with the king of ships. If you don't steal some of their goodies, you'll fall behind them even more. ”
"How many years have you lived half-bald, how many years have you lived? The Ship King is the oldest elf. They've seen more deaths than you've ever seen books. Taking advantage of the situation to push the heavy notes aside, Thranduil pulled a chair and sat closer as he said, "Anyway, I can't catch up with them, and the ship king will be too busy to ask you to return it for the next few days." Why don't you talk to me first? ”
"That's not going to work." Having made up his mind to "steal" some more knowledge from the ship king before returning it, Vernoll rolled his blue eyes and said jokingly: "If you can't catch up with them, it's just that, if you don't read more books, how can you sell them?" ”
With Thranduil's blank expression, Vernoll laughed and teased, "You haven't heard of human songs? 'Learn the art of literature and martial arts, and sell it to the emperor's family'. According to this line of thinking, no matter how much I have seen, I just hope that you will pay a good price. ”
Reading books for me? Thranduil instantly felt that the Ship King's notes were extremely pleasing to the eye.
"What nonsense! You're not a cargo. After subconsciously saying this, the Elf King immediately straightened his sitting posture. Although he knew it was a joke, he still looked at Vernoll with a solemn expression and said, "In that case, you can make an offer." ”
I don't seem to be very poor and should be able to afford it. Even if she couldn't get the amount she wanted for a while, it shouldn't be a big deal to ask the richest King of Gushan in Zhongzhou to borrow some questions first. The most important thing is that she has always kept her promises, and she speaks loudly when she speaks. In other words, as long as I give her an offer, she will sell it to me?
Thranduil's hands trembled slightly with excitement. After staring intently for a while, Vernorr finally offered a "price code". She said, "I want the forest to be lush forever, and the wood elves to be simple and happy forever; I want the evil spirits to be cast out, and Sauron will not return; I want all things to live forever, and the elves may bear Vera's knees; I want all tribes to be friendly as one family, and nothing to be found in evil and filth. I also want the light of Iru to be by my side forever, and the darkness will never be seen again. ”
You didn't even get what Iru wanted! Otherwise, how could there still be a situation where the Lord of the Rings existed and Sauron must return?
Although he knew that Vernoll was just joking and not deliberately embarrassing himself, Thranduil did not want to give up the opportunity. Just as he was about to bargain, the elven soldiers, who were supposed to be guarding the entrance to the tent, stood in front of the open tent door.
"Your Majesty, Prince Kellerpeng (Note) is visiting. By what you mean, I say you're resting. The young soldier looked annoyed. Seeing that the Elf King's face sank, he still reminded him: "The prince has no suspicion at all, and is waiting alone at the entrance." Say it's waiting for you to wake up and call him as soon as possible. ”
When the other creatures arrived, Thranduil could turn a blind eye and hide in a corner of the valley. But Kellerpen was waiting for him at the entrance, but Thranduil could not continue to hide. Luo Lin is kind to the woodland, but it is secondary, and Kellerpeng is the only creature in the entire Zhongzhou that makes him feel that he is an elder. Although the prince also maintained the elven indifference most of the time, and always carried a sense of alienation in front of the attendants, Thranduil could still feel the prince's care.
On that occasion, when Thranduil sent reinforcements back to the forest to change the guard, Galadriel just mentioned the word "Gondor" with a straight face, and Kellenpeng, who had always respected his wife, actually stepped forward and blocked directly in front of Thranduil.
"He's not even three hundred years old." Even when confronting his wife, Kellerpeng still has a gentle air on him. He said firmly but in a calm tone: "I still mean that, which elf didn't do anything wrong when he was three or five hundred years old?" You too. Of course, if the child does something wrong, it should naturally be borne by the elders, so you can rush at me. ”
Then he saw Kellerpeng's hands trembling slightly.
The prince is scared......
Thranduil was very moved, and he didn't want Kellendron to be thundered by Galadriel for his own sake. Feeling that he had invisibly affected the relationship between the prince and his wife, he felt a little guilty, and reached out to pull Kellerpeng back.
