"In the end, the alliance made Zhongzhou change a lot, let alone me?" The resolute faces of his parents when they stepped on the westward ferry flashed in his mind, and Silver Moon shook the wine glass in his hand in a dull tone: "King Gilgalad and Isild are gone, and King Aurifel is also gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe West Coast has gone from deserted to lively, and the forests have gone from zero to luxuriant. If you don't change, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the pace of Middle-earth. ”

"I heard that the princess shares all of Avary's trade and foreign affairs, and the Gert prince only needs to be in charge of internal affairs?" After receiving Yinyue's nod of affirmation, the wise man said in an admiring tone: "With the current situation of the princess, sooner or later she will be able to catch up with the footsteps of Middle-earth." Don't forget that there are two kings of the elven clan, and asking them for help when necessary will definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort. ”

Yinyue felt that the wine in her mouth was full of bitterness.

After taking over the government, she and her brother realized how difficult it was to govern the country. And now in Zhongzhou, there is only one great king in the entire elf clan who has been recognized by various races. But the king didn't like to care about affairs outside his own country, and he didn't like to see himself. And to rule this kind of thing, Yinyue and her brother Gert have already reached a consensus - turning to others cannot solve the problem fundamentally. In order for Avari to truly stand in Middle-earth, turning to the Elven King is a shortcut, and relying on one's own exploration is also a way. It is not the elves to ask for help at the same time that the ship king wants to take care of the Linton kingdom and shipbuilding; Asking for help when King Thranduil was deliberately alienated from the affairs of other countries, whether it was emotionally or intellectually, Silvermoon did not want to do it.

Not begging or pity, not being flattering or coquettish is the only dignity that Silver Moon wants to keep in the eyes of Thranduil, and if she can't even do this, she thinks that she no longer even has the hope of looking forward and blessing the other party.

"After my father and mother crossed to the west, you gave my brother a lot of help, and Prince Lin and his wife often gave me a helping hand." Giving a smile to the wise man, Yinyue said gratefully, "The more you understand state affairs, the more you understand how many problems you have to face as a leader. Even if you choose to stay, blindly relying on others is not a long-term solution, and it is not good to cause chaos for everyone because of your own affairs. The best way to go down this road is to go on your own. What do you think? ”

I think your current appearance is more of the character that a Zhongzhou elf princess should have.

Elrond didn't say this, but raised his glass again in agreement.

The noble bloodline will make the living beings have the quality of "not begging and not pity", but in Zhongzhou, where Sauron's power has not completely disappeared, in the case of bearing the responsibility for the survival of the Avari elves, it is necessary to make concessions for government affairs without begging or pity. In the year 139 of the Third Era, news came from Ringu that Brian had given birth to twin sons, Elladan and Elohir, for Elrond. The day after receiving the news, Thranduil saw the gift he was going to give to Ringu and ordered the purchase of the Avari pearls to be halved.

Thranduil had been brewing for thirty years. From Elrond's marriage in 109 to the present, he has seen many ordinary Avari pearls.

I don't know if it was because of Edmund's thrifty nature, or because the Thyrian tribe of the Kingdom of Linton was busy with the affairs of the westward journey, which caused the number of pearls to be sharp, and Thranduil did not want to investigate it in detail. All he knew was that more and more pearls from Avare's hands were in his sight. They were supposed to be used to decorate the façade of the palace for close quarters, and Thranduil endured. The gifts that could be sent to Ringu to congratulate the birth of the twins were also decorated with them, and Thranduil didn't want to put up with them anymore.

As the main promoter of Elrond's marriage, the twins who have not yet met just by the news of their birth make Thranduil feel like an elder. For the first time in Ringu, who was regarded as a descendant of the twins, Thranduil not only decided to hold a grand tribute to Iru and Vera for the gift of the wise man, but also personally inspected the congratulatory gifts that were to be sent to Ringu. Finding that the surface of the eggs for the children to play with was adorned with pearls with only a three-color halo, Thranduil swept all the eggs on the tray to the ground.

Thinking that when he was still an adult, he had never touched a pearl other than the seven-colored halo, and Thranduil, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more anxious.

"Replace the pearl on it with a Telleri." Given Edmund's usual style, Thranduil felt that this directive alone would not solve the fundamental problem. So, he glanced coldly at Edmund, who lowered his head, and gave an order that Silver Moon had to take the initiative to come and meet him. "From now on, the number of Avari pearls purchased each year will be halved," he said. ”

No matter how deep the friendship is, it can't stop Edmund's stubbornness in carrying out the orders of the Elf King. When this command came back to Avari like wings, and then to Silvermoon, who was trading in the royal city of Gondor, Silvermoon instantly knew whether to be happy or sad.

Happy because Avari can't lose half of the trade volume of the woodland, even if his brother Gatt doesn't remind him in the letter, Silvermoon needs to meet the elven king once for the sake of trade - the whole Zhongzhou knows that the loss of the elven king's trade is a small matter, and offending the elven king is a big matter. Because of his fellow elves, and King Thrandil's habit of becoming more and more reluctant to meet strangers, Avari never met the Elven King for the sake of trade. And now, when the woodland is dissatisfied with the act of halving the trade volume, whether it is out of etiquette or common sense, it is time to explain a thing or two to the elven king in person.

And the sad reason is not only the trade itself, but also the imminent disappearance of the dignity that has been held upon. Even on the way to the Woodland Kingdom, Silvermoon was still thinking about how the Elven King would be treated in exchange for taking the initiative to pay homage.

Will he look impatient at the sight of me, as he did during the "Last Alliance"? Will he leave in a hurry to end the meeting as soon as possible, as he did last time they parted? Or will he, like Elrond, share his experience as king for more than 100 years?

The assumptions that kept pouring out of her mind made Silvermoon ride into the woodland kingdom in trepidation. Three days later, when she was standing at the entrance to the woodland palace wrapped in a gray and black cloak, the officials guarding the side door carefully examined her badge before hurriedly coming over to salute.

Yinyue knew that the current appearance was very different from that of herself more than a hundred years ago.

Most of the elves in the woodlands know the Silver Moon from the period of the "Last Alliance". At that time, not only was Avari peaceful and prosperous under the care of Gilgalad, the High King of Noldor, but he was also a noble princess whom King Thrandil considered to be a proper hospitality. But the impermanence of the world will take away the Noldor High King, and it will also allow the lost Avari Elves to usher in the fate of zeroing in Middle-earth. From a delicate and noble princess to a dusty waiter in front of the woodland palace, such a contrast provoked the woodland officials to take a closer look at their own micro chapters, and Yinyue could understand.
