Four hundred and twenty-four, zealous and bitter
Vernore asked rhetorically, "Celegon and his men killed our Dio King, and also ruined the happiness of all Sindar elves, which is naturally extremely evil. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, humans and elves have been best friends for thousands of years. The Human Emperor has done nothing now, and he is still a human being who has just come of age. Killing the elf's best friend is still a young emperor who has done nothing. Tell me, Thrandil, what is the essential difference between such an act and the slaughter of King Dio and the two princes, leaving all the Sindar elves of Middle-earth forever without the protection of their kings and living a life of exile?"
Is there a difference?
King Dio and his two young sons were brutally killed, creating the eternal tragedy of the bloodline of the Supreme Royal Family of Sinda in Zhongzhou and the elves of Sinda. If it weren't for the protection of the High King, would my father and I have to carry a huge country on our shoulders? If King Dio is still around, how many Sinda elves don't need to wander in Zhongzhou, looking for a paradise where their hearts can be truly calm?
In the same way, if I kill the human emperor, how many human beings will live a life of exile, and how many human beings will lose the spiritual leader they rely on? No matter how evil the human emperor is, he is also the emperor of mankind, and it is the sustenance of their hearts. Even if the Emperor is out of reach for most humans, as long as the Emperor is there, humans have at least one guardian who can be seen and touched. No matter how great the difficulty is, as long as you remember that you are a creature under the protection of the emperor, you will not fall into despair. There is indeed no essential difference between the human beings who have been accustomed to relying on the emperor spiritually for thousands of years to see the royal bloodline cut off and the Sinda elves losing the supreme royal family.
Even if Merandil can be regarded as an emperor by humans in the shortest possible time, heal the psychological wounds of the human race losing the emperor, and maybe do better in the future, he will not be able to pull out the thorn of the "Shi Killing Emperor" rooted in the thorn between humans and elves.
When there is a gap between two races that have been fighting side by side for a long time, there is no one to benefit from but the evil camp. This kind of thing that benefits the enemy must not be done.
Thranduil, who had come to his senses, put down the knife in his hand and sighed. How could Vernoer not hear the helplessness in the sigh? She forced her breath and tried her best to put her head into the ear of the Elf King: "The evil of the Human Emperor will naturally be resolved by the capable people of our clan. I selfishly hope that you will not be described by Middle-earth history as a creature who 'kills allies'. Thrandil, can you fulfill my wish for this?"
"It's an honor, my lady. Without saying a word, Thranduil carefully picked up Vernoll and walked out, but finally changed to support under her persuasion. In this way, he can have a free hand and support the human emperor who is still struggling to move. When he walked out of the secret room with two creatures on his left and right, he realized that the situation in the council hall was beyond his imagination.
The first creature who greeted them at the door looked happy when they saw them. As soon as the Human Emperor saw his face, he immediately broke free from the support of the Elf King and limped over. He apparently received strong support from the other party, and was quietly hidden behind him by the person concerned. But just as he opened his mouth to tell the other party that "the elf king wants to kill me", Elrond, who was full of solemnity, made a silent movement, and glanced in the direction of the gate very suggestively.
Looking in the direction of his eyes, the Emperor saw that the door of the council hall was already open.
Outside the gate, there are Gondor men who use various objects as weapons. The people sitting in the front row followed the emperor into view, either rising from the ground, or letting indignation replace the calm on their faces. And King Sedan, who had been standing by the gate with several civilian elders and whispering, also turned his head to look at the human emperor when he heard the movement, and also gave a silent action. As for the soldiers and officials who were supposed to be stationed in the council hall, they all shuttled through the crowd outside the hall. Judging by their flattering gestures and expressions, it was not difficult for Valandil to know that they were doing the same thing as Serdahn—to appease the Gondor people.
After receiving the complaining glances of countless Gondor, the Human Emperor chose to follow Elrond without saying a word. In his opinion, the elven king is not in a hurry to kill himself and tell the wise man at this time. Neither Serdan nor Elrond had brought their troops with them, and the weapons of Arnol's soldiers had disappeared, believing that the entire palace was under the control of the Gondor people, as was the council hall. As the Emperor of the People who was targeted by the Gondor, trying to keep a low profile was the way to protect himself. Other things can be done when Arnol's 20,000 royal teachers come to help him gain an advantage.
The fact that the Human Emperor decided not to settle grievances when he was in a bad situation does not mean that the Elf King is not concerned at this time. As he was only a few steps away from reaching the seating point in the corner, Valandil heard the Elven King, who had fallen behind, shout to the few remaining human attendants in the temple, "Go out and close the door!"
The Elven King's order was unexpectedly executed quickly. As the heavy door was closed by the attendants who had stepped out, Serdan outside the hall glanced worriedly at Elrond through the crack in the door that was closing. The latter, in a state of cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead, avoided the elf king's eye knife, lowered his head and led the human emperor to the chair in the corner.
Seeing the blood stains on the corners of Vernor's mouth and his robes, Elrond predicted that he would face the Elven King's Thunderous Fury. When he was still struggling with whether to help Vernor check his wounds or settle the Human Emperor first, or to ask the Elven King for his guilt first, Valandil had already half-thrown himself into his arms, making him choose to protect the weak Little Human Emperor first. Fortunately, in this process, the elf king was temporarily restrained by the female elves around him, and he did not endure it. But only temporarily.
"You rest here first, don't come near me. Lest...... Injured by mistake. Elrond patted the Human Emperor's hand lightly, and walked in the direction of the Elven King with a wrinkled brow. He knew that it was Thrandeil who had retained his dignity by dismissing all his attendants and demanding that the door be closed. Why keep the dignity, for the elven king, who had just put the battered elf on the soft chair, had been able to get out, and according to his always bad temper, he might come over and give him a punch and kick.
When he went to the Woodland Kingdom to invite Vernor, Elrond thought about the consequences. But the wise man did not expect the consequences to be so serious. It had only occurred to him that the act of bringing Vernor from the lush and peaceful woodland palace into the maelstrom of Gondor would be a terrible repunge from the Elven King.
