() I've made some progress on your secret text forging method, but I can't tell you the details.

The ring brought a soul to me, thinking of him as one of your relatives and friends. I will take him back to the West, for in Alda, only Namu's palace can keep the soul sane for a long time.

In your case, it will not be difficult to travel to the West, and we look forward to seeing you in Valinor. ”

……

The short parchment letters contain some crucial information in a neat handwriting.

Sitting at his desk in his dwelling on the bank of the river, reading the letter, Charles was curious about the "progress" it contained, but he was even more relieved that his guess had come true.

He had thought that the blacksmith was Olli, because Vera, who was obsessed with forging, seemed to have no other existence besides Olli.

After Eol's death, he realizes that the ring he gave him is missing.

Although this may not seem very relevant. But Charles, who already had certain expectations for this, directly combined the two things.

Sure enough.

"Valinor......"

Chewing on the name of this western Vera inhabited area, Charles mused.

He hadn't thought about going to the unknown place before, because the Vera that existed there was too mysterious, and he wasn't sure what he would encounter when he got there.

Now, however, it seems necessary to make a trip, not only for the sake of Eor, but also for many of the special encounters in the past......

"But not now."

Muttering, he rolled his gaze to the window in front of his desk, as if he could penetrate through the great river forest and into the depths of the northern Angban.

Morgoth had bad intentions towards him, and why didn't he want to destroy it in order to repay the vengeance he had accumulated so many times?

……

Half a month after Charles returned to the Land of the Seven Rivers, the escape of the slaves in the northern Angband was completely publicized by the scattered fugitives, and that heroic act made many elves who were already fond of Charles respect him even more.

Even Celegon, who had intercepted him before, sent a letter of apology, apologizing for everything that had happened before, but the words in it seemed a little reluctant, presumably his eldest brother forced him to write it down.

In addition, Charles's reputation in his own turf has also increased.

If he used to be admired and revered here.

Now it's a cult.

It's just that all of these changes are not as noticeable as the other thing.

Because along with the spread of the slave escape, there are also diamond-related matters that have been plundered by the elven diamond, which has been plucked from the crown of the demon king by Princess Lucien of Doriath!

Even Charles was stunned when he found out about this, let alone the ordinary elves.

Princess Lucien of Doriath usually has little activity, but her reputation is faintly spread in all directions.

It's just that in the past, most of her fame was about beauty and singing and dancing, but she had never heard of such a power that could extract things from the great enemy!

So after this incident, Lucian's reputation rose to a higher level, even more so than the names of the Noldor royal family who had made great achievements.

Ordinary elves could talk about it, but some of the elves who were concerned about the big picture looked to the east of the Nondo-hee line.

As we all know, in order to avenge his father, and even more so to recover the Elven Diamond, Fëanor and his seven sons did not hesitate to disobey Vera, and many times even threatened that whoever wanted to seize the Diamond was their enemy, regardless of their identity.

Now that the diamond has been acquired by Doriath, who doesn't deal with them much, will this situation evolve into a worse situation?

"That's obviously what Morgoth would like to see best." Putting down a piece of information in his hand, Turgong in the Hidden Kingdom shook his head.

"I don't believe that Princess Lucien would be so unwise to publicize her acquisition of the treasure."

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Turgong could easily guess the doorway, and he thought that his brother Fingon's close friend Mezlos could also guess it.

However, they guessed that they had sworn by the same name as they were, and it was absolutely impossible for them to give up the pursuit of the treasure diamond.

Now that the treasure has been revealed, Fëanor's seven sons are bound to have the first goal of regaining control of the Elven Diamond, no matter who stands in front of them.

Just as Celegon and Charles said at that time, they are not even afraid of Vera's curse, can they care about the rest?

"Although the treasure diamond is pulling their fate, I think the enemy is ahead, and they should not do irrational things."

Blonde Ishel stood silently beside him.

"I hope so." Turgong replied, but he always felt a little uneasy.

However, regardless of what the Lord of the Hidden Kingdom may think, the question of the ownership of the Elven Diamond has been debated for the remainder of the 370th year of the First Solar Calendar.

At first, Fëanor's eldest son, Mezlos, sent an envoy to Doriath, who was successfully received by King Singh and brought back Dorias the idea of returning the diamond to them.

However, King Singh demanded that the Klegon who had offended his daughter must come and apologize in person before he could deliver.

This condition made the person concerned, Kellergon, very angry, although he felt afterwards that he did seem to be a little more impulsive in that matter.

But he did not get any benefit from it, but was aggrieved by the threat of Nakanir.

And now he had just apologized to Nakanir, and now he wanted him to apologize again?

Celegon was ten thousand unwilling, but his eldest brother Mezlos was tough on it.

"If you don't choose to act rashly when you hear the news, but tell me first, how can this happen at this time?" The red-haired Mezlos looked at his third brother with a disappointed expression.

"We want to recover the Elven Diamond, this cannot be changed, but how to recover it also requires a method, and this method obviously cannot be to make enemies everywhere."

So Callegon wilted very simply.

The reply that the third son of Fëanor agreed to apologize was then passed on to Doriath, and King Singar invited them to a meeting.

It's just that when the time arrived, Mezlos ran to the border of Doreas with a few younger brothers, but he was stunned and closed!

There was no waiter to answer, and Meilian's ring belt was not opened!

"Are we early? Maybe not yet? ”

"Then wait."

……

This waited for a day and a night, and in the end, even Mezlos, who had the most stable temper, could not help but leave with a gloomy face.

As a result, the atmosphere that had been about to ease was tense again.

And in the palace of Minni Kingdom in Doriath, the dispute over this matter is also going on.

"The big picture? The overall situation of the Noldor tribe should be considered by the Sinda tribe? ”

"But since you promised him, father, why do you want to go back on it?"

"I just said that I would consider giving it back, but I didn't say that I would definitely give it back."

Singar, who is tall, said: "Now that I have thought about it, I will not give it to them. This is obviously a treasure that my daughter gave me, why did you give it to those Noldos? Just because Fëanor was the forger of this treasure? But if they had to use this as a reason to ask for the Diamond, then why didn't they go to the door of Angban to talk to Morgoth all these hundreds of years? ”

"Because we are of the same kind, and Morgoth is the enemy!"

"Kindred?" Xingar snorted, "Do you think they considered their kindred when they were slaughtering and plundering your uncle's people?" ”

With that, he waved his hand to interrupt his daughter's attempt to speak again.

"So decided, since you have handed over the ownership of this diamond to your father, then don't say more."

"But now I regret making that decision, and if you still care about the father-daughter relationship, then you should consider giving it back to your daughter!"

"I'll give it back." "When you get married, this treasure will be the perfect dowry in the world for Alda," Singh said. ”

This made Lucien ashamed and angry.

Since her return from Angban, Singar, who has learned the details, has lost her frustration with her daughter's rejection by Carnier, and has always mentioned the issue of marrying her daughter every now and then.

As everyone knows, there is nothing between them at all!

"If you left the diamond because of your daughter, you don't have to, because she wants you to do what you said. At the same time, using the treasures obtained by your daughter's hand as a dowry will not make your daughter feel that you are generous in the slightest! Lucien, who has always had a good temper, was really a little angry this time.

However, Xin Ge didn't take this seriously at all.

"When you're done, go and rest, proper sleep is good for relieving mental fatigue, I think it's not normal since you came back from Angban, you should rest more."

"I" Lucien opened her mouth, uncomfortable that her father, who had always been so "scoundrel", but she was equally annoyed, so she turned away, leaving a word.

"It's time for my daughter to rest, as long as you don't take back the order for a day, my daughter will always rest and never see you again!"

"Or go out for a walk." Singh proposed.

"But well, you are only allowed to go to the Seven Rivers, and I don't allow you to run around anywhere else."

Lucien was a little confused when she heard this, and finally turned her head and glared at him in anger.

Seeing his daughter leave, a smile flashed across King Xingh's face.

When my daughter came back, she behaved differently than before, becoming more assertive and emotional, instead of not caring too much about everything as before.

This is good......

If you support your daughter and Carnier, why do you have a grudge against the son of Fëanor? ”

A word came from beside him.

"Linton is not a Noldor. I won't compromise with those murderers who slaughtered my elves! ”

Singh spoke in a grim tone.

He was actually the leader of the Sea Elves who were slaughtered in the first place, but when he disappeared due to Merian, the leader was replaced by his brother.

Therefore, both for his own consideration and for the sake of his brother's people, he had reason to hate the Noldor who had committed the crime of blood cannibalism, especially the Fëanor family, who were the leaders.

In the past, he did not allow most of the Noldor to enter Doriath, and forbade the Sinda to speak the Noldor language.

However, although his answer was reasonable, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the wooden box containing the treasure diamond in his hand, and there was a greed in his eyes that even the person concerned did not notice.

This made Queen Meinan, who appeared quietly beside him, sigh faintly.

Lucian's fate has been changed.

But the fate of Singar, and even Doriath, is still running silently...... Fupin Chinese
