It should be happy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But I really don't want to have too much contact with any other country. The more he came and went, the more friction he had, and if he met another creature who didn't know the severity, would he have to taste the pain that the Emperor had experienced?

Thurandier, who felt bitter on the tip of his tongue, avoided the topic and brought up something else.

"There are no other creatures here, how can you read books and still wear gloves?" looked at the cup in his hand thoughtfully, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It seems that you have to stand farther away even when you drink?"

"How can you break the king's notebook if you steal it? I am afraid that my fingers will not be clean and damaged when I turn it over, let alone drinking? If it is spilled on it, wouldn't it be even more wrong?" Vernoll blushed with guilt, lowered his head and said, "I plan to admit my mistake to the king of the ship when I send it back." ”

"Originally, the ship king didn't know, nothing happened. Take the initiative to admit your mistakes, and the ship king will set you an appropriate punishment when he is angry. Thranduil angrily and laughed at Vernor's shoulder, and said with a pretended annoyance, "You creatures don't know how to sympathize with the shipmaster! It is not easy for Serdan to spare time from Linton's tedious affairs to build ships." You still have to make the ship king think of appropriate punishment for such a trivial matter?"

In Vernor's stunned, Thranduil patted the ship king's notes and finalized: "Don't bother the ship king with such a trivial matter. Secretly sent back before leaving. If you don't dare, I'll deliver it to Gardo myself. Anyway, with ten dares from Caldo, he may not dare to sue me in front of the king of the ship for this!"

He's kind of a part of it. It's just enough to take the initiative to confess and ask for the punishment of the ship king, if you still have to risk offending you......

It seems that stealthiness is the best thing for everyone, at least the king of ships does not have to bother, and Gardo will not be punished for it.

Vernoll nodded helplessly, agreeing to the suggestion.

Merandil didn't give Thranduil too much time to talk to Vernor.

As soon as the dinner was over, King Gondor arrived with his eldest son. The woodland soldiers guarding the entrance led King Gondor to the camp at the Elven King's orders, and the first thing Thranduil said when he received the news was, "Long story short." What the hell have you been looking for me all these years?"

The steady stream of news from Gondor made Thranduil understand him well, and he decided not to meet with Merandiel. The human kingdom that took over Mordor was reviving even faster than the woodlands under Merandiel's rule. The reason for this is inseparable from the strong ability of human beings to reproduce. And the woodland kingdom, where the people are all elves, even if the elven couple is encouraged to stop living apart for a hundred years, it is still difficult to catch up with Gondor in terms of the growth of the number of its people.

In the year 42 of the Third Era, the number of the Gondor army exceeded 50,000. This team, trained by the King himself, was stationed in Mordor for a long time to prevent the resurgence of evil forces and to practice their combat abilities. Due to the strength of the legions, in a time of peace where Sauron was nowhere to be found, Gondor even reduced its fixed defense corps - Merandil felt that no one would dare to challenge the southern kingdom of humanity, which had taken over Mordor and had close ties to the elves. The Dandon cavalry, which was sent back to Arnol by Essidor that year, also reappeared in Gondor territory under the operation of Merandiel. The Danden Knights, who are so powerful that "one against five", will appear on the border from time to time, demonstrating the strength of the Danden people.

The quick reply to Gondor's military strength made Thranduil sigh and make him a little envious.

If the pursuit of the elves could be reduced a little, the strength of the woodlands might be increased by half? In this way, there would be more troops available for irregular patrols?

While not opposed to the reduction of King Gondor's defenses, Thrandeil did not see the need for a reduction in defenses. He knew that no one dared to challenge the defense of the woodlands before Sauron appeared. But God knows when Sauron will appear, the woodlands are no bigger than Gondor, and there are enough cavalry to patrol the border for long periods of time. The lack of strength led Thranduil to return the reinforcements of the Collin in 86 A.D. Still, the woodlands, where autonomous defence is no longer a problem, require occasional patrols of the Gondaba Mountains, so that the remaining evil creatures do not dare to challenge the barely sufficient number of defence troops.

Elves will always be elves, humans will always be humans, and the ability to reproduce determined by nature cannot be changed by kings. Thrandeil's envy of Gondor's rapid revival also made him not worried. In his opinion, Merandil should not initiate a meeting unless the King of Gondor did something worthy of the Gondor, or if Gondor had a problem that he had to turn to. All this time, neither of these situations has arisen, so all the while, Thranduil also unceremoniously refused to meet.

Otherwise, should he be friends with Melandiel, and when he saw him, he could not help but recall the disgraceful act of cooperation? or if he had not made a promise at the dinner party, and King Gondor would have done something for him, Thranduil would not sit down alone with Melendiel until the end of the wedding.

After asking straight questions, Thranduil did not roll his eyes at Merandil when Semando was also present. But he still used the way of not sitting down, indirectly urging Melandil to speed up.

"Nothing special. Just wanted you to meet Semando. Merandil, who had an in-depth understanding of the Elven King's temper, did not hesitate and hurriedly pulled Semando in front of him. King Gondor, who was already in his twilight years, said with a hint of pride, "It won't be long before Semando becomes King Gondor." I brought him to listen to you. ”

Merendil never forgets. The elven king, who used correspondence as a means of restraint, asked for the guarantee of three generations. That is, except from Merandil to his eldest grandson, the Gondor must be treated well in a way approved by the Elven King. You can't change the fact that you'll be monitored, and suggesting a good first impression is essential. For many years, Merandiel's invitation was only to allow Semando to gain the approval of the Elven King, so as to alleviate the constraints on the eldest son after he succeeded to the throne.

Thranduil had guessed King Gondor's intentions. He looked at Semando, who had saluted him, and praised him without hesitation.

"Semando is a good boy. More generous than you!" Thranduil patted the next King Gondor on the shoulder, and said with relief: "I heard that your father did not let you neglect military affairs? After all, there is no such thing as absolute peace in Zhongzhou. ”
