Four hundred and thirty-three, Anzhi Ruosu
The long-standing neglect of the populace eventually led to a slight negligence on the part of the coalition that deprived Valendil of all possibility. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the young emperor still did not realize that the key to the problem was his own people. He was satisfied and glad that he had left behind the three elven leaders. He knew that as long as these three elves were willing, there would naturally be a way to clear the predicament in front of him.
What he didn't know was that in the eyes of all the elven leaders in Middle-earth at the moment, the king was as light as a feather compared to the people.
As soon as the ignorant human emperor sat down, he couldn't wait to say to King Sedan: "The human imperial power cannot be divided. Gondor must be under the authority of the Emperor. ”
"Hmm. King Sedan, who had a sense of vicissitudes on his face, responded lightly, but at this time he mentioned a matter that was insignificant in the eyes of the human emperor. "It's getting late, let's have dinner first. ”
Not only did the ship king say this, but he also ignored the shock of the human emperor and began to act. He asked the few attendants in the hall to open the side door, and a dozen attendants rushed in with trays full of food. And the other two elven leaders didn't think it was strange to do this at this time. It was Thranduil, who said to the attendant who placed the tray on his side, "I don't drink human wine. ”
There's no reason not to be calm. When the side door opened, Serdan, who was sitting next to him, whispered to him what he had planned for Vernor.
"I asked the humans to send her to Merandil. "The king of the ship is as good as ever. Calmly whispering and pointing out the point for Thranduil: "There is no safer place in Gondor now than by Merandiel's side. King Gondor would call upon the best healers of mankind to heal her. You can rest assured. ”
That's right. At this point, the safest place for Gondor was by Merandiel's side. The king, who had been saved from the torture table by the populace, was currently under the protection of all the Gondor people. It can be said that even the Emperor of the People, who came with a heavy army, was not as good as Merandil in terms of security. For it was not the armies, nor the mighty, that kept King Gondor safe, but a people whom all the mighty would not dare to fear without fear.
Thranduil, who had no worries, nodded gratefully to Serdan, and naturally had the mood to pay attention to dinner. He glanced at the wise man who pretended to be indifferent but was actually sad, and deliberately used his dissatisfaction with the food and wine to remind the other party that it was time to restrain his mood. Unbeknownst to him, this sentence did not seem to be listened to by the wise man, but made the attendants around him a little frightened.
"This ...... This is not human wine. The young human boy replied, "It's the wine in your palace." That is, it was sent by the human attendants in your palace. They said...... He said that he didn't see you back at dinner time, and he was afraid that you didn't have a wine to your taste when you had dinner at Gondor, so he sent it beforehand. ”
So, the elixir in a human bottle is a wine I am familiar with?
Thranduil nodded in satisfaction and waved the red-faced squire away. Next, he deliberately took the empty glass in front of the wise man with an exaggerated gesture and poured him a full glass of red wine. This action naturally annoyed the human emperor who had been watching silently from the sidelines. And when the familiar smell of wine surrounded the tip of his nose, the wise man really restrained his undeserved look, and with the usual etiquette of elven nobles, he got up and nodded, and took the wine glass with both hands.
There's no way Valendil can't help but think that the Elven King did it on purpose. Not only did he despise your anxiety with his own indifference, but he also used a glass of wine from the elves to make your mentor temporarily give up worrying about you!
In fact, when Serdan proposed dinner, the emperor was incomprehensible. He couldn't understand why he was going to do something trivial or even incompatible with the current situation in such a tense situation. Even if the elves are good enough to be proud of all races, they should not be used in the here and now. And now, the two elven leaders except Serdan have entered a state of "food silence", and their elegant dining demeanor is even more dazzling.
"I don't eat it. Annoyedly, he pushed away the tray in front of him, and the human emperor sitting on the throne looked up and asked the king of the ship who had just taken a knife and fork, "Doesn't King Sedan, think that in the current situation, we should not waste our time on food?"
"Hunger can make elves weak or they can die. And except in times of war, there is an iron precedent for what we should do at each point in time. It's a little late for dinner now. Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, the ship king pointed in the direction of the gate with his chin, and said meaningfully: "It is late at night, and there are countless human elders and children who come with their parents outside the palace. Only by knowing that we have sat down to eat can the weak outside the temple be cared for by their families. In order to give the civilians who are still hungry so late a moment of rest, you can barely eat a dinner for them. ”
Giving the people a respite after most of the day's work was the real purpose of Serdan's dinner. After receiving the news that the leader has started to eat dinner, the people will be affected by the role model and temporarily put aside the big things to take care of the creatures around them. Growing children and the elderly can also be cared for by their loved ones. This is a detail that only Serdan, who has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost and knows deeply about human beings, can notice. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, Sedan no longer gave the emperor a chance to interfere with him, and picked up the knife and fork and also entered a state of "food and silence".
However, Sedan's words and the elven leader's calm and relaxed posture did not serve as a reminder to the human emperor, only to make the young emperor even more anxious.
Pushing the tray in front of him a little farther again, knowing that he would not get any answer, Valandil said patiently and persistently: "No matter what the Gondor people want, the human imperial power cannot be divided!"
He got a worried look from the wise man. The other two elven kings were focused on the food in front of them, as if they hadn't heard the words of the human emperor.
"I can give the Gondor people other reparations, as long as they submit to my rule. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he slapped the table, gritted his teeth and shouted to King Sedan, "Those who disobey deserve to die." ”
The ship king, who was munching on food, frowned slightly, and then regained his indifference. Thinking that such an evil order came from the mouth of the newly adult human emperor, Sedan's anger was just a child's angry words, and he did not stop the meal, which also made the emperor feel ignored again. Valandier, who had faced numerous hardships and dangers since arriving in Gondor, decided not to endure any longer.
He took one last look at the three elves beside him, raised his voice and said to the Saxon on his side, "You go out now." With the forces that can be mobilized so far, kill the most troublesome humans. Execute at the entrance of the council hall, so that all the Gondor people outside can see it!"
