496. Antecedents and consequences
"Lucien's greatest imperfection is precisely her perfection! even her Maivi's mother was not perfect, and she could not change the fate of Tinggor's death at the hands of the dwarves, and even left the whole of Dorias behind after the death of King Tingor. In comparison www.biquge.info Lucien's perfection doesn't look like a real being, and the more I think about it, the more false it feels. ”
The mood was eased by expressing his opinion, but Thranduil still felt that he was incapable of changing his father. So he paused for a moment, pursed his lips and muttered for a few seconds, "Since every living being has an unlikable side except Lucien, why should I care if my father likes you? Anyway, my father won't come back, and even if he does, I can make him not see you. No...... Caring too much about him. ”
I care about Orifer's feelings, not only because he is the king who has guarded me, but also because he is your father.
Vernoer, who didn't dare to speak, hurriedly echoed two sentences without pain, and turned the topic to the book in his hand.
The books sent by Merandil were from the Commoner district of Gondor, and were mostly the whims of the common people. However, the stories, dialogues and content circulated among the ordinary people were all indecent content that the aristocracy thought was indecent. At first, Melandil hired a number of scholars to check to ensure that the books sent would never have unsightly content, but they could not get rid of all the vulgarity and shallowness. Vernor, on the other hand, was unaffected, and felt that the books written by civilians had a different kind of taste. Thranduil was happy to see her smile at the yellowed paper, and naturally she would not use the rules of "forbidden books" to make decisions. Although he has never been far from the glamorous since he was born, he occasionally glanced at it, and was shocked by the strong market flavor between the lines, and immediately withdrew his eyes.
Restraining his disgust, Thranduil inadvertently asked, "Why do you accept commoner things more than ordinary nobles?"
"Because the love of the common people is purer. For those of us who are more accountable to others, they have no scruples. Whether it's love or hate, you can do it freely and casually. With these words, Vernoll put away the book and pretended to be tired and said, "Go to sleep." When you wake up, there will be no marks on your face. ”
"It's time to be a king who has to be humble for the sake of his people. Thranduil let out a long sigh and fell to the bed, finally opening his eyes from time to time to see that Vernor was sinking into a deep sleep.
On this night, the lights in the side hall where the wise man was recuperating were not extinguished. To the surprise of the attendants guarding the outer room, although the human emperor who had obviously not slept all night, his whole body was refreshed, although his eyes were flushed. He paused in the middle of the open door, turned and nodded slightly to the king and the wise man in the room again. The calm posture was very different from the night of the Gondor change, which provoked the Saxons who were waiting outside the door a little stunned.
The face of the ship king was exactly the same indifferent look when he was accused by the emperor on the night of the change. Serdan, who didn't say a word, just waved his hand in response to the Emperor, and then cast a very meaningful look at Gardo. The envoy of the ship king who was ordered to follow his steps was hurried, and he left the side hall even earlier than the human emperor. Of course, it may also be because the wise man who has been half-lying on the bed showed a reluctant expression, which made the emperor linger in place for a while.
Elrond was indeed a little reluctant.
Valendil will soon be leaving. From then on, he was afraid that he would not be willing to set foot in the vicinity of Gondor, let alone enter the door of Gondor. Although Elrond expected that the entire Emperor of Men would gladly welcome him if he wished. But what if Gondor came, and what about accepting the worship of King Gondor as the supreme king of mankind? Valandil wouldn't like it. His actual communication with Gondor was never again after this departure.
The thousands of cares of the wise man were finally beaten into a sentence by the facts. Elrond opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, but could only say, "Return to Arnor as soon as possible." The people there need your shelter more than anyone else. ”
"Yes. Then things here are hard for King Sedan and the Mentor. He bowed again sincerely, and the human emperor who turned around left with a faint smile.
Valandiel, who was about to achieve his wishes, shook off all the bad emotions, but the two elven leaders who were dealing with him did not feel relaxed at all, because what happened next was indeed too big.
"I'm in favor of helping Valendil maintain his prestige, and I'm willing to do my best. can hide the truth, so that the latecomers lose the opportunity to know the truth......" The wise man whose face was still swollen sighed, and said with melancholy: "Only you have such courage in this matter. ”
"yes. Over the years, I have been involved in many things that cover up the true history, brutally depriving those who come after me of the right to know the truth. The self-deprecation filled every word that the boat king said, and he also pinched his fingers to take stock: "There have been quite a few in recent decades. The disappearance of the Expulsion of the Black Gate and the dilution of Ihild, including the imminent initiation of the siege of Mordor by forcing King Thranduil to wipe out all of the siege of Mordor, are simply too numerous to mention. After a thousand years, I don't know how many creatures will complain about my cruelty of depriving them of their right to know. ”
"How so? You are here for the foreseeable future, but also for the creatures in front of you. Seeing that this sentence did not make King Sedan's guilt lower in the slightest, Elrond hurriedly solemnly stated: "If there is a record that does not match the facts, I will find a way to leave a clue." The truth is hidden, but it is not nowhere to be found. It is not difficult for a wise person to know the truth. ”
"That's what I want you to do. Gently resting his hand on Elrond's shoulder, Serdan said word by word: "Don't let anything related to the Gondor change appear in the historical records, but leave clues to prevent those who have intentions from finding the truth." ”
"Yes. In the historical record, the change of power of Gondor is peaceful and glamorous, and the clues will lie in the peaceful description. After sitting and saluting, Elrond pursed his lips and said, "I'll go and convince Thranduil later." ”
"No need. Stinky boy, I'll take care of that. You take care of the text of the historical record, and don't take the initiative to provoke him during this time. ”
When Serdan said "stinky boy", he couldn't help frowning deeply.
The Ship King had only spoken to Elrond for a few words, and knew that such a short time would be enough for Thranduil to leave Rutnath for a while.
Let Gardo reveal to the Elven King that the Human Emperor has left, which is Sedan's meaning. The goal was to gain time to communicate with Lutnath alone.
