Galadriel said that elves who had never been to Valinor would be attracted by the beauty and peace of the atmosphere, and would not want to return to Middle-earth to endure the sufferings of the past. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoBut Orifer, my friend, the reason why you don't want to come back must also be an affirmation of the ability of the only child. You see how powerful he is, so powerful that he no longer needs your protection.

Completely relieved, Celepeng turned his head to look at the west where Valinor was, made a farewell gesture with the hand hidden in his robe, and quickened his pace to keep up with the two blonde elves who were still talking. At the same time, Vernor arrived at the trade area outside Riverdale with enough gold coins.

When she stood in front of the white-haired merchant's shelves through the dense shops with heavy packages in advance, the empty shelves made her heart half cold.

The trip was supposed to take place a month ago. But at that time, the Woodland Kingdom was in a tense period, and Vernor could only temporarily put aside everything and devote himself to helping the Woodland Kingdom out of the crisis. When everything that needed to be done was done, and when she finally found time to take care of her own affairs when she returned to the Woodland King City, she went to the inner garden first.

The plants that had grown luxuriantly in the inner garden before leaving had withered for more than a week when they met again a month later.

The gardeners who were in charge of tending to the plants when she was traveling were very apprehensive, and kept explaining with their heads down. Vernoll suppressed his anxiety, and it took him some time to finally understand the cause of the withering of the plants in the gardeners' panicked and somewhat incoherent explanations—after nightfall, the gardeners left after watering the plants one last time, as usual. When I came back early in the morning, all the plants were dead.

"It was a pleasant night, but in the second half of the night there was a sudden frost. The florist, who felt the heaviest sense of vicissitudes, glanced at Vernoll quietly, and said with courage: "It seems that this delicate and strange plant cannot withstand the sudden temperature before it ...... And it's true that we haven't seen this plant before, so we don't know how to cultivate it. It is also cultivated in strict accordance with the way you explain before you leave. ”

"Hmm. Actually, I don't know if the cultivation method is right or wrong, and I just try. Squatting on the ground and stroking the remains of plants that were about to turn into dirt, Vernor said in a calm tone: "You can't be blamed for this. It's been a hard time for you. ”

If she had come back a week earlier, she would have at least been able to see the insects she had seen on the remains of the plants and thus determine the species of the plants. It's a pity that the female elves who are running for the country not only miss this moment, but also lose the opportunity to keep the plant seeds. Looks like we'll need to go to the east of the woodland to collect some more, after all, these plants have the potential to unravel the mystery of Okpa's death.

After instructing the gardener to begin cleaning the inner garden, she dismissed all her attendants and meditated in the dormitory with their sabers. Before he could come up with a more effective solution, the Elven King walked in. The melancholy in her heart made her smile reluctantly.

After all, for the Elven King, the Woodland Kingdom's escape from the crisis is something to celebrate. As for his own trivia, there is no need to let the Elf King know. This matter has nothing to do with him, and naturally it shouldn't make the Elf King unhappy. So, it wasn't until the Elven King left the woodland for the Woods that she began to find a way to raise enough gold to prepare for Riverdale.

A month ago, from Pheron's description of Riverdale, she learned that the white-haired merchants of Riverdale might have many moon-shaped gems of various sizes. On the same day, I asked the maid to go to Riverdale to check. But before the maid could return, the aftermath of the disaster on the plains of Graton had already entered the woodland. Fortunately, she waited for the maid before leaving the woodland kingdom. Knowing that the situation was indeed as Feren had said, the maid had given the merchant a certain amount of deposit, promising that she would soon bring all the gold coins to buy them, and she put the matter aside for the time being.

The merchant received the deposit and would certainly have sealed the gem temporarily. The purchase of gold coins proposed by the other party is not a small amount, so it is better to wait for the matter of the woodland kingdom to be resolved before finding a way to raise it. At that time, Vernorr thought so. If she had gone directly to Edmund to withdraw the gold coins, she would have asked the maid to buy it with the money, so as not to miss the opportunity. Unfortunately, the forest consultant never liked to use the resources of the state to do his own business. As a result, a month later, the white-haired merchant directly returned the deposit he had collected to her.

"Didn't you say it would come soon? I've been waiting for more than a month. Throwing a small bag of gold coins at the female elf, the white-haired merchant said angrily: "I am a businessman, not a philanthropist, I want to make money to support my family! If I hadn't thought about paying you back, I would have returned to my hometown. Why would it take so long to stay here? ”

"Be careful what you say!" said one of the woodland guards who had accompanied him, and took two steps closer to the merchant with his saber.

"I know that the elves of your woodland kingdom can't be messed with casually, and the elven king will not let anyone who disrespect the elves of the woodland. But no matter how much the Elven King protects you, he can't be unreasonable, right?" After waiting here for more than a week to return the deposit, the merchant was obviously not in a good mood. "Obviously, you didn't even bring a letter for so long, so I delayed the return time again and again in order to return the deposit to you. To tell you the truth, what can you do with me when I take the deposit and leave? I kindly returned the deposit to you, but you said that you had a bad attitude. I knew I should have left when I had sold out, and I shouldn't have taken such a small amount of gold coins too seriously. ”

"It's our fault. I'm sorry. Motioning to the guards to retreat with his eyes, Vernoll said apologetically, "It's our fault that you have delayed the return trip." Thank you for returning the deposit to us, you are such a sincere businessman. ”

Seeing that the other party's face softened, Vernoll asked, "Can I ask you who bought the moon-shaped gem?"

"I don't remember. There are so many creatures coming to buy things, how can I remember them all?" the merchant waved his hand and ran towards the merchant ship dock without looking back. Vernorr had no choice but to reach out and block the guards who tried to catch up.

"Forget it. He can now get back home in the fleet that is about to lift anchor. Moreover, what he said is not wrong, and it is normal that he can't remember it. Mockingly, looking at the two boxes of gold coins he brought, Vernor said to the slightly unwilling guard: "It is not easy for such an old man to wait here alone to return the deposit. Fortunately, it was not all for nothing, and I finally got the deposit back. ”
