481. Defend oneself and keep the way
Born in 3234 A.D., he only participated in the Battle of the Last Alliance, and he did not understand the friendship of the Ship King regarding humans as siblings. Although the battle of the "Last Alliance" made him understand www.biquge.info the bravery of the Dengdan, the countless Dengdans who died in the battle also made him feel the same hatred for the enemy. But it's still a little bit away from siblings.
Human beings are obviously different from elves in terms of life habits and thoughts, is it too much to say that they are siblings? Considering that Serdan had participated in countless ancient battles, large and small, and that he had seen many of his human comrades who had died in front of his eyes, Thranduil decided not to argue with the Ship King about the matter again.
Without the ship's move, Vernor had already gone to hug Vera. The kindness of the ship king is no less than recreation, so why do you need to argue with the ship king again? What's more, the Ship King has not stood on the moral high ground until now to accuse you of what you did to Gondor. Instead, he has been trying to find a way to resolve the conflict.
With this in mind, Thranduil lowered his head and said sincerely, "Whatever the elves do is only for their own fulfillment, not for the sake of return. I did make a mistake in what I just said. As for what to do next, you just tell me. ”
Serdan was not polite to the king of the woodlands. Knowing that the Emperor of Man had been politely asked to leave by the Gondor people early in the morning, the King of the Ship threw out three prohibitions to Thrandil.
"It is forbidden not to have an intimate relationship with King Gondor before men; No banquet is allowed; It is not allowed to use the matter of Gondor's change of power to reveal the meaning of ridiculing the emperor! Under the slightly displeased look of the elf king, Sedan patted the table and said, "You have already counted the entire elf clan in this matter. Worried about the long future between humans and elves, you can't break down because of you as an elf, and those in the know have to temporarily help you cover up your crimes. However, if you get carried away and get the benefits and show them in front of the human emperor, it is not impossible for the entire elf clan to draw a line with you. ”
Serdan didn't intend to tell the Emperor everything he had done in the Gondor Revolution, which Thranduil had already guessed. On the one hand, the Ship King did not have sufficient evidence, but most importantly, in Valandiel's current mind, it was easy for him to misinterpret the Elven King's actions as having the acquiescence of the Elven Clan. Concerned about the comrade-in-arms relationship between the elves and humans, the ship king would never dare to take the liberty of telling everything he had learned. Anyway, sooner or later, the conspiracy will be revealed, and telling everything now will not change the facts, so it is better to wait for Valandil to grow up to realize the mystery of Gondor's transformation. can understand the mystery of the power change, and naturally know that what the elf king does only represents himself, and has nothing to do with the whole elf clan.
Thurandier, who had calculated that the king of ships would remain silent in front of the emperor, had no worries, and was even more disdainful of the king's remarks about wanting to draw a clear line.
Draw the line between me and I'm also an elf, and no amount of official letters can change the fact that I'm an elf. Unless I have a noble bloodline like Elrond, I can choose to be of another race.
Thinking of the love of the ship king to save Vernor, Thranduil pressed his pride and disdain into his heart, and replied repeatedly: "Good, good! It's all up to you. ”
But the thought of not being able to hold a banquet to celebrate Vernor's return from the brink of death made him feel no better.
It has to be said that Thranduil now has a lot to celebrate.
The Emperor of Men is no longer the Emperor of Humans, the real power of Gondor belongs to an excellent ally, and Vernor has just woken up, so many happy events should be celebrated with a feast. Coupled with the fact that Mordor escaped with only a few filthy creatures that could not move, it felt really bad that the four happy events were coming one after another but could only be held in the heart.
Is there any way to take advantage of the loopholes? For example, secretly holding a banquet, or going to Gondor?
Thranduil's blue eyes had just turned, and before he could think about it, he was interrupted by Sedan.
"You're not the only one who isn't allowed to hold any banquets, it's also Gondor!" As if guessing what the Elven King was thinking, the Ship King said meaningfully, "You can influence King Gondor. Let Gondor not have any banquets before the Emperor leaves, it's just a matter of your words. ”
The longer you live, the more you can understand the minds of living beings? Thranduil sighed helplessly and said dejectedly, "Yes." If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go first? ”
"Let's go? Thrandil, although the manipulation of Gondor in order not to affect the relationship between the two races is not substantiated, I cannot inform the Human Emperor and Middle-earth of my assumptions. Because it is the people's demand, I have no right to criticize you if I support the Gondor people, but that doesn't mean that this matter is over. The boat king, who was standing with his back in his hand, took two steps closer, looked directly at the young king, and said, "Whether it is fooling or misleading, it is too late to calculate." However, Merandiel, who gained recognition by being kind to the people, has gained power. Can you guarantee that Merandiel will continue to be kind to the Gondor for years to come? ”
If Serdan, like Elrond, had stood on the moral high ground to criticize Thrandier, the latter would never have given the eldest elf any good face. He would not hesitate to recite the rebuttal of the wise man to the other side, and despise the self-contradiction of the ship king.
Supporting the people in their own actions, and then questioning the outcome of the people's choice, is not a contradiction in words and deeds, what else can it be? Even if there are unspeakable deliberate acts in the people's choices, they cannot change the essence of the people's aspirations. If the Ship King also revealed the slightest condemnation like a wise man, how could Thranduil not fight back? However, the Ship King is not a wise man. Nearly 10,000 years of cultivation have already given him a pair of ethereal eyes. These eyes can see not only others, but also themselves. The difference between words and deeds could not have happened to the king of ships.
Serdan saw not only that he did not have the right to criticize, but also that he had a role in the Gondor regimen.
To question Gondor's contortion is to deny one's own actions! He who criticizes the actions of Sermei and the others and makes the people's demands into facts is an accomplice! The Ship King knew this very well. Therefore, he never blamed Thranduil for the result of Gondor's change of power, but he was extremely disgusted with the manipulation and deception behind the scenes of Serme, and even more disgusted with the elven king's pride because of it.
But what if you are disgusted? Things have happened, and the emotions of disgust have been expressed through words. The most important thing now is to secure the future of the Gondor people, without wasting time and energy on unchangeable facts. That's why the Ship King didn't blame Thranduil for the change, but only asked about Gondor's future.
Serdan is really different from Elrond! He is the most respected leader of my clan!
Thranduil couldn't stop feeling in his heart, and his respect for the ship king was a little more serious.
