371. Revisit the old place

Thranduil simply closed his eyes, avoiding the uncomfortable look in his eyes. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info at the same time, he also called out to Vernor with a slight sideways face. However, he called out a few times, but there was still no response from her, only a wooden elf attendant walking by the carriage timidly replied, "The advisor went to the civilian quarters, saying that he was going to buy something." ”

What's worth buying in an interracial civilian area? Isn't there anything in the haute couture book for the royal family that pleases you?

Thranduil's irritability was compounded by another layer of impostor. He looked up, making sure that he didn't need to make eye contact with a human in a way that looked at the sky, and then asked faintly, "Who accompanied her?" ”

"The advisor went on his own." Seeing that the corner of the elf king's mouth was slightly grinning, the attendant hurriedly added: "She said that she knows the way, and she will be able to come back soon." Please don't worry about your majesty......"

There were only a few opportunities to enter Micheng for state affairs before, and every time I came, I entered the area where the royal family or officials lived, so how could I have any chance to get acquainted with the civilian area of Micheng? Could it be that she had been in contact with the human kingdom for a long time, and had been in and out of civilian areas so often that she knew what could only be purchased in civilian areas?

Despite his initial doubts, the Elven King suppressed all his emotions that had nothing to do with state affairs after entering the area of the Gondor Palace.

With the help of his attendants, he walked into the chamber, up the softly carpeted steps, and finally slowly sat down in the ornate chairs that had been specially arranged for him in the high stands. As soon as he adjusted his sitting position on the chair, he saw the elf who had left until the middle of the way through the side door that strafed from time to time.

The plainly dressed female elf walked in along the corner with her head bowed, and hesitated when she saw the empty steps. Perhaps thinking that the final entrance was too conspicuous, she glanced up at the Elven King, and finally stood somewhere inconspicuous in the corner. That position was the area that the Elf King, who sat high in the stands, could see at a glance.

Thranduil glanced at the basket she was carrying, and finally settled her eyes on the two kings at the bottom of the hall.

"If there is no change, it is worth King Nader to force me here?" The Elf King, who was already able to pick up the wine glass by himself, straightened his waist in his chair and unceremoniously threw a roll of his eyes at Merandiel, who was supposed to be the enemy. "Melendiel, haven't you also been fighting with filthy species for years? Tell me about them and let the Dwarven King know how stupid they are. ”

After making sure that the officials around him could see it, Merandil lost no time in raising his head and responding with a long oblique glance, before coughing patiently and said to the dwarf king: "Absolute rabble." Ordinary soldiers even obey military orders, and the generals need to threaten their lives. During the 'Recapture of Minas Ihir', the army of the Sauron side had at least ten or more deaths per day. They were not killed by us, but they violated or did not understand the military orders at all, forcing the generals who forced Sauron to accept their orders and had to kill them in order to deter other subordinates and rectify military discipline. ”

Sounds more difficult to lead than the current dwarven soldiers? Thinking that it took several months for the soldiers to barely reach the realm of strict military discipline, King Nader couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Such a soldier can also fight for Middle-earth for thousands of years, and let you fight for seven years?" ”

The two kings' slightly angry eyes shot at Nader from different directions.

If only the two of you could always be on the same page, it would be in vain for me to say this on purpose, to test whether your hatred for the enemy would be affected by the settlement some time ago.

Nader deliberately lowered his head and coughed lightly, waiting for the rightful reprimand.

"King Nader, please don't underestimate Sauron's ability to lead his troops." It was the Elven King who spoke first, unceremoniously objecting in front of all living beings. "It has always been easy to train elite soldiers, and strong generals are hard to find. Sauron, who had bewitched our people thousands of years ago, had made his One Ring reach the realm of mastering the rings; It only took him three years to change from a prisoner of war in Númenor to a national teacher recognized by the king, and he succeeded in bewitching the emperor at that time, causing the state of Númenor to sink and the human empire to die at that time. The depth of Sauron's scheming and the skill of his means are beyond the reach of you and me. Such a general, even the stupidest soldier can be trained into a war machine in his hands. You shouldn't take Sauron lightly, and you shouldn't despise the filthy species that Sauron led directly in the Battle of the Last Alliance. ”

No one knows the whole process of the destruction of Númenor better than Merandil. As the last member of the Dendanan royal family to be born in the Númenorian Empire, Merandil has been reluctant to recall what he considers to be a history of great human shame. So when the Elven King recounted this past in a few words, Merandil unconsciously closed his eyes.

In the hearts of every human being, the greatest reason for the destruction of Númenor was the fault of the last emperor, Yar Farasson. It was the man who married the rightful heir of the empire and succeeded in enlisting the throne through this marriage contract, and made the vast and glorious empire disappear in an instant from the immense power of Iluvita. And this human emperor, who is recognized as a shame by mankind, Merandil has to admit that he is from the same family. The most terrifying thing is that he has been doing the same thing as Yar Farasson all the time for the past few years - the right to compile.

It can be said that Merendil has a deep knot. Blame for being fooled by Sauron, and blame himself for following the same path. However, with the Elven King's affirmation of Sauron's methods and scheming, Merandil was actually relieved.

The Elven King was right. Even Middle-earth's most skilled elven craftsman, Klein Bripeng, can be bewitched by it, let alone a human? And Yar Farazon's codification of power is out of selfish desires, out of his own greed for power, I ...... It's not because of lust.

While reminding himself once again that he must not covet power, and that he must definitely protect the Gondor people, Merandil suppressed his desire to salute the Elven King, and then the other party said, "Your Majesty the Woodland is right. Sauron is more powerful than the One Ring. In addition to the demagogic abilities he inherited from Morgoth, commanding filthy species in battle is also his forte. ”

Seeing that a few human officials who gritted their teeth with hatred wanted to stop talking, Merandil said softly: "There is no need to be indignant a few elders. The Elven King's remarks to Sauron, whether they are or what I have just said, are all for the sake of facing up to the enemy's abilities in order to deal with them adequately, without the slightest hint of appreciation or praise. ”

Human beings are so complicated that to speak of the truth will be suspected of being a praise for the enemy!
