Three hundred and forty, none of them agreeed
Of course, the ultimate purpose of this proposal was to ensure that the encirclement would last for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Once the war is over, the Elven King has no reason to let the Legion continue to stay in front of the gate of the Gondor Kingdom, so how can he wait for the arrival of the Human Emperor Legion?
I have to say that two of the three decision-makers have been secretly united, and the other unknown creature will definitely be bypassed. What's more, the two kings with rich combat experience both demanded the durability of the siege battle, and King Nader, who was engaged in actual combat for the first time, was naturally convinced.
"It's still the two Majesties who have a long-term view." After expressing their agreement with the praise, the three kings went directly into the discussion of logistics arrangements.
A month later, when Gondor's facilities for the siege of Mordor were fully operational, the largest decorative vase in the Council Chamber of the Kingdom of Arnor was shattered by Hirana.
"On what basis does he say that he will enter when he is in combat readiness? Do you just know to look by with your eyes open? Helana, who still liked to carry jewels all over her body, got up from her chair angrily, crossed her waist and shouted at the officials who had just returned from Gondor, "Do you know how much wealth Gondor pays every year? ”
Prior to this, after receiving an official letter from Gondor to enter the war, an official explained to Helana in detail the privileges of the strategic state. The other Hilana didn't care, anyway, her future human emperor could handle it, but when she heard that Gondor would lower her export rate after entering the war, and she would often become independent, and only pay about fifty percent of her annual income to herself, Shelana couldn't sit still.
"In other words, the wealth handed over by Gondor will be reduced by at least eighty percent or so?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Shelana was so angry that she threw her favorite special book on the floor.
Every year, the commercial creatures of Middle-earth send special merchandise books for the royal family to various countries and territories. The reason why it is "special customization" is not only because each item is the only one in Middle-earth, which shows the dignity of the royal family, but also specially designed according to the preferences of the royal family.
Shortly after Valandil was confirmed as the future human emperor, Helana, who had returned to Arnol, received such a roster. Born as a maid, she knew for the first time that the royal family still had such special items, and she also found infinite superiority through the special merchandise book. Feeling that she had already squeezed into the top echelon, Xilana was not stingy, and ordered a lot of goods on the spot, which made the creatures who sent the roster smile from ear to ear. Although the selected product will be made after paying the deposit, and it will take a while to get the actual product, Shelana doesn't mind at all.
The handmade royal goods are finely made, and even the details cannot be faulted. Such an item is worth the wait, and it is worth spending a huge amount of gold to buy. Anyway, every year Gondor turns over a lot of wealth, enough for me to buy royal offerings. Shelana thinks so.
Gondor, who can enter the state of combat readiness, will pay eighty percent less wealth, and this time on the special list, Shelana has already selected more than half of the goods, and it is the time when the money is needed!
Use Arnol's wealth to buy special offerings? No, no, Valandil said that Arnol's treasury could not be moved, and that he had other uses. Moreover, the wealth that Gondor had turned over was at my disposal, and it was a condition that Valendil would not let me use the treasury of Arnol.
"In the entire continent of Middle-earth, there is not a single creature that can make me happy! From elves to humans, there is no one who is trouble-free. After scolding Merandil in her heart, and cursing the Elven King who initiated the siege of Mordor once, Shelana raised her hand and waved all the attendants and officials back.
"The old hatred is not cleared, and a new hatred is coming to me! Elven King Thranduil, were you born to torment me? Why is it so haunting that I can't buy some of my favorite products! Reluctantly looking at the patterns of her favorite products in the special book, Shelana gritted her teeth and muttered: "I will beg the gods every day so that you will never get loved!" ”
No matter how angry she was, Shelana couldn't make any actual counterattack against the Elf King thousands of miles away. She could only suppress this evil breath and began to prepare for the trip to Raven Intercept to complain to the future emperor. Before leaving, she waited for someone she could vent to, a few officials returning from Gondor.
The harsh invectives did not arouse much emotion among the officials. Officials who had become accustomed to this kind of "treatment" only repeatedly reiterated that Gondor's entry into a state of combat readiness was legal and reasonable, and that successive emperors would not oppose a legitimate and reasonable decision.
"Won't the emperor object? I don't believe it. With that sentence in hand, Shelana set off for Rivendell that night.
When Hillana returned after six years, Elrond chose to send a group of Ringu soldiers to follow, and he himself avoided it. The reason for this is that he doesn't want Xilana to disturb the other creatures in Ringu, and secondly, because he believes that the current Valandil will no longer compromise easily because of the relationship between mother and son.
Valandil is completely different from him six years ago, and Shelana has a first-hand experience of this. Although Valandil would still hold his arm as he used to in the absence of others, he could speak like a different person.
After learning that his mother's request to continue to pay no less than the previous year's wealth to Gondor was to satisfy his own selfish desires, the future emperor frowned and let go of his mother's arm.
"It's just a few things, let's buy them in a few years."
An understatement answer clearly did not satisfy Helana. For the time being, Helana, who only felt that her son was a little strange, began to complain. "Why wait a few years? How many years have I waited for you to go from being unpopular to becoming the future human emperor? How many years have I waited to be able to enjoy the riches and splendor of the royal family? Valandil, the generals who held the military power a few months ago were at your disposal, and the officials, even Merandiel, were forced by you to live in the slums. You, who have become the ruler of the human race, refuse to meet even your mother's request? Don't you feel ashamed to be a son of man? ”
Valandil didn't say a word, and glanced at it with a cold look. If the other party is a human official, they will bow to him in fear, and even kneel down on their front knees in shock. It's a pity that it was his biological mother who stood in front of the future human emperor at this time.
"Don't make such gestures in front of me! Tell you, don't say you're the future human emperor, you're just becoming Illuvita and I'm your own mother. You must meet all the requirements of your birth mother. Silana, who was covered in pearls, pulled Valandil to her desk, and called out with a blank letter, "Write an official letter to Melandil now, and ask him to hand over no less than the wealth of previous years." As for whether it is in combat readiness, I don't care. As long as the wealth handed over is not less, it will be fine. ”
