One hundred and ninety-three, the king's promise
Elrond also said: "I didn't expect this book to have a score without many words, and the lyrics actually hide all kinds of customs from the ancient country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thank you for explaining it to me, otherwise even if you can understand the Oriental language, you don't know the meaning of the words. ”
"I would also like to thank you for teaching me Goblin language. So we have cleared each other, so let's stop thanking each other. Wearing a mask, Vernoll did not show the slightest tiredness, but was a little excited. "If you fall into the hands of the goblins, you can find a way to escape from their conversation. Learning one more language is one more life, as you say. ”
"How could you possibly fall into the hands of a goblin? such filthy creatures, you won't even see them again. Seeing that Vernorr and Elrond had a pleasant conversation all night, Thrandil's face sank. He subconsciously patted the back of the chair where Vernor was sitting, and squinted at Elrond opposite. "Doesn't the greatest healer in Middle-earth know that the sick deserve plenty of rest? ”
Elrond's face flushed, and just as he wanted to apologize, Vernorr had already taken the first step to relieve him.
She turned her head sideways and looked at the elf king standing behind the chair and smiled, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, can you use breakfast before leaving?" found that the other party looked out the window with a tangled face, and the female elf who sternly rejected the elf king last night actually added: "The lord said that I can eat normally." ”
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, the elf king pretended to say "um" in a deep voice, raised his tone and said in the direction of the table, "Let's all go down when it's arranged." ”
In the time that followed, Thranduil directly ignored Elrond's presence. He helped Vernorr eat breakfast in front of Elrond. What's even more unexpected is that during the whole process, whether it was helping her lay out a napkin or wiping the corners of her mouth, the other party did not have the slightest resistance. Could it be that Elrond had tried hard to convince her?Thranduil had secretly looked at Elrond several times, but received no reply from the wise man who had buried himself in breakfast.
Or did the elf in question give him the right answer. "The lord said that you ordered all the plants there to be transplanted into the inner garden?" her eyes had an indescribable softness that Thrandeil could rarely see. "Thank you. ”
"Say thank you!" As he helped the other party smooth out the almost invisible wrinkles at his collar, the Elf King said in a voice that he felt a little uncomfortable with: "I forgot what I told you last night, no matter what you say, I will agree, and whatever you want, I will find a way to give it to you." ”
The tone and content of a completely unrequisite king made Elrond almost spit out the soup that he hadn't had time to swallow. Although he tried his best to control it, in the end he still let a few drops of soup hang on the corners of his mouth, such an unruly behavior not only attracted the Elf King's sideways glance, but also caused the temperature on Vernor's face to drop slightly. Under the slightly reproachful eyes of the Elven King, Elrond wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and asked awkwardly, "Why don't I go out first?"
"You're too late to wake up. But no, it's time for me to go. Looking at the sunlight that climbed up to the foot of the bed through the window, the elf king crouched down and said to the female elf beside him, "Wait for me to come back." ”
As soon as the Elven King walked out of the dormitory, Elrond couldn't help it. He asked Vernor, who was slowly getting up, "Whatever will be given to you—will he give you such a promise with such a haughty nature, or will he not give him a chance?" I don't believe you can find a better creature than he did to you. ”
After a little stunned, Vernor sat down in his chair again. She subconsciously looked at the sunlight outside the window, squinting slightly as if she was recalling something. After a moment, she shook her head slightly.
"It is said that the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart, but the history of any country in Middle-earth tells me with facts that the heart of a king is more unpredictable than the human heart. Just as there are no permanent enemies and friends in politics, the king who is kind and pleasant one moment may hate you the next. Shifting his gaze to Elrond, Vernor said slowly: "The wise man is well-read, and knows a little about all the races in Middle-earth, so he must know that no matter what race the king is, he has the characteristic of changing his face in an instant, right?"
In the face of countless ironclad facts, Elrond could only nod in agreement.
"The greatness of a king is directly proportional to the speed at which he changes his face. Although my Majesty has made a valuable promise, it is a pity that he is one of the greatest kings, and I have no way of doubting it. Maybe tomorrow he will say to me, 'I won't give you anything.' Not only will I not give it to you, but I will take back everything you deserve.'
Elrond never imagined that the seemingly joking hypothesis that Vernoll had said at this time would really come true one day more than 2,500 years later. Thranduil had become her husband at that time, and she had given birth to the only crown prince for the woodland, but the elven king, who was moved to tears by a few words, still gave her a slap in the face.
"Before, after, and in the future, there has never been a queen in the woodland. I'll take back everything you deserve and make you completely disappear from all elves' memories. You consume your flesh right here. As punishment, there will be no graves, no steles, and I will not give you anything. Throwing Fernor, who had been in his arms, to the ground, the Elven King turned away. After taking two steps, he still felt that he was not enough, he stopped and turned his face slightly, and said angrily to the female elf who had lost an arm on the ground: "To let you get the most severe punishment, these are not enough. And also...... Not only will I take back everything I have given you, but I will also make your long-awaited son lose everything. Anyway, because it is impossible to determine the date of his conception, his identity has not been revealed within the race. What do you think of sending him out of the palace and leaving him to fend for himself with the death of both his parents?"
Then he watched with great satisfaction as Vernor, who had been broken a moment before, slowly crawled over, tugging at his cloak and pleading.
Of course, that's all for later. At this time, although Elrond agreed in his heart that the king's face change was faster than that of the giant eagle, he still wanted to fight for some life for his friend who was deeply trapped by emotions. Most importantly, in the eyes of the wise, Thrandil's promise to the female elf in front of him was well thought out, and it was not all a promise given from the position of a king.
