79 Singh and Merion
Elusinger, who was considered difficult by Finrod, did not strike Charr at first as being scorching or vitriol.
Rather, it is tall and majestic.
His height was the only one Charles had ever seen.
Sitting on the silver throne at the end of the hall, his upright figure was like the pillars standing around the hall, and the height of his upper body alone was enough to compare to the height of some people.
The Noldor were generally tall, probably because they had basked in the light of the Twin Sacred Trees, and the average Charles had seen was more than two meters, but this one was tall enough to defy all the Noldors.
It's just that his height doesn't seem very slender, but "big".
Or rather, very powerful.
Although it can't be described as a tiger's back because of its racial posture, it can also be called a bee's waist ape's back.
At the same time, he looked majestic, his eyes were like stars, his silver hair was long and neat, and he looked down at the Shire not far from the throne, as if he were facing a dwarf human giant king.
Because of Finrod's advice, Charles had made some preparations before he came, but in fact the meeting did not seem too embarrassing.
Although the other party's tone was a little condescending, he was not stupid enough to provoke others for no reason.
And it may be the reason why Charles inadvertently did Doriath a great favor, and his words even often show courtship and closeness.
Thanks to Charles for his help, he reminisced about his father, Eol's connection and "friendship". sighed for a while at the appearance of the first king of Nando, Denethor, when he "defected" to him with his people, and the tragedy when he died.
The anticipation and appreciation of the new kingdom is even more euphemistically flattering to a few interesting potions invented by the Charles......
Eventually, he invited Charles to a welcome party that Doriast was supposed to host for him and Finrod's visit, and when he agreed, Charles withdrew.
In general, although there is some arrogance and conceit, the atmosphere is quite "friendly" when I meet the titular supreme monarch of Beleriand for the first time.
……
In the King's Hall, after watching Charles' departing back disappear from sight, King Singar, who was secretly considered arrogant and conceited by someone, had a good sense of Charles.
He leaned over the armrest of the throne, his fingers slowly caressing his chin with a thoughtful expression.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Say, 'How is this Kanior?' ”
"As a monarch, he is still very immature." The beautiful woman who quietly appeared behind the throne replied.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"I see that the kid has no intention of doing so."
"No one can refuse me."
Singh said it right, but when he blurted it out, he felt something was wrong, so he added, "I mean, no one would be willing to turn down our daughter." ”
This statement is full of confidence, but if you consider the conditions that her daughter has, it is not conceited.
His father was one of the few first elves to awaken, and the first leader of the three major elven races of the elven race.
Mother was born into the godlike Maiya clan. At the same time, as the princess of Beleriander, and even the strongest kingdom in the entire Middle-earth world, in terms of identity, there is basically no one more noble than her.
And the appearance?
Singh once said to his brother Elmo in a drunken gaffe, "At that time, I was with Lord Olomi in front of the West Valinor, and everything I saw was already considered the most beautiful, until the birth of my daughter. ”
His brother had never been to Valinor, and he longed for it, so although he thought his niece was indeed beautiful, he did not deny it.
So Xinger laughed and said a nonsense.
He said if you can find something more beautiful than my daughter, I'll eat.
Of course, this was a very euphemistic thing at the beginning, but the actual meaning is like this.
The Grey-robed King had this kind of confidence and pride, so at this time he thought that as long as he brought it up, Charles would not be able to refuse at all.
However, Queen Mei'an did not give him an immediate reply, but pondered it.
"Caged birds." She thought of something someone had said.
Finrod and an elf knew the power of the fallen Maia, and it was naturally impossible for her, Maia, not to know.
So although the odds were unlikely, it was prudent to be cautious that her power had been hanging around Charles' sleepy bedroom all this time.
After all, this little guy seems to have a grudge.
It's just that I don't want to accidentally hear a very interesting sentence.
Thinking about it, she looked unconsciously at a tapestry hanging in the corner at the end of the hall.
It was woven with a number of banquets where Verashan was active in the world of Arda.
Countless years had passed, but she could not forget the time known as the Spring of Alda, and the wonderful feasts of the gods in that time.
It was the best time she can remember, besides family.
So she smiled, then turned to Xing Ge and said, "I also think he's not bad." ”
……
From time to time, elves have spoken of Charles, whether they know it or not.
But Charles didn't expect the monarch of Doreas to bring such a topic to him.
At this time, he only felt that the city-state called Mingni Guosi under his feet was really beautiful.
The corridors, halls, fountains, and streams trickle through the sides of a row of columns carved into the shape of beech, spreading to many halls.
The walls of the corridors that connect these halls are carved with various birds and beasts, rushing to the sides of the walls or crouching on the tables of the columns.
These tree-like columns are brought to life with the grace of the elves, with irregularly textured trunks, stretched branches, and delicate foliage.
There are also real flowers and vines that surround these trees, exuding a delicate fragrance.
Walking among them, the nightingales with their beautiful calls either land on the trunks of trees or fly high in the sky overhead, as if they think that this place is no different from a real wood.
The neatly seated silver fountain steps occasionally see birds falling down to drink.
Beautifully crafted golden lanterns hang on "branches" or high domes, illuminating the colorful stone paved road like stars falling from the earth, and the mountain stream on the side of the road shines brightly.
The Charr initially thought it was strange for elves to live in caves or underground, as it was not only cold, but also sneaky.
However, Nagoth Lund and his entourage made him change his mind, and now this magnificent and exquisite palace of a thousand grottoes made him inexplicably give birth to the idea that it seemed that his own city was built like this.
Just thinking about the geomorphological conditions of Tolgaran, it is clear that this idea cannot become a reality.
Along the way, many beautiful elves passing by saluted him, but no one disturbed him as if he had been advised.
The somewhat long road was finally reached by a few attendants, and the hospitality room, which had been arranged somewhere to the right of the King's Hall, had already come into view after turning a corner.
However, unlike when he left, in addition to the two elven soldiers guarding it, there was also a half-haired boy looking around not far from the hallway.
When he saw Charles, his hesitant appearance immediately dissipated, and then he ran quickly.
Seeing this, King Singar's servants tried to intercept him, but were stopped by Charles waving his hand.
"I've seen Lord Garnier."
The handsome-looking young man ran over, bent down nervously, and then handed Charles a sheepskin scroll with both hands.
"My father has asked me to give you this letter, and he says that it is a gift of apology from him for the crossing of the Tygreen River, and that you must accept it."
Ferry?
It was obviously impossible for Charles to forget this, in fact, he had asked Finrod about the three survivors before.
It is said that the female elf Ilya has been properly healed by the royal healer, and the broken wrist naturally cannot be taken back, but otherwise it is fine.
As for the remaining two, Finrod didn't pay attention, and Charles didn't ask.
In this strange country, whether he was still dissatisfied with it or relieved, there was nothing he could do.
Just for now......
Looking down at the tightly wrapped parchment scroll in his hand, Charles asked, "Who is your father?" ”
"It's Olophil, my lord." The boy hurriedly replied.
That captain with thick eyebrows......
Charles heard this, and then saw that he had a restrained face, and couldn't help but smile.
So while putting the "letter" away, he asked casually.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Serranduil, my lord." The other party replied.
The name made Charles stunned, but looking at the other party's blonde hair, he didn't think much of it.
He nodded politely in farewell, then pushed the door open with the scroll and walked into the room.
