Charles remembers that there was a saying that there were a hundred people, and there were all kinds of people. Vertex X 23 U S

The group of elves sitting around him now, although they are not human, perfectly embody this saying.

Nando elves have very few rules, and at the same time, the overall reception conditions are not very good, so the meeting was actually held in a very simple forest in a beautiful clearing.

In the middle of the clearing was a clear and transparent waterhole where many animals would normally come to drink, but now, a large group of tall and short serious elves sat around the waterhole, and all the places were basically occupied by them.

Even if the animals of this world are not too afraid of elves, they are too frightened to approach this rare situation.

Charles stood right next to the waterhole, beside him, a dark blue robe, Calebdir and five other green elves, both male and female, who knew each other.

In fact, nearly half of the densely seated elves around him had been seen by Charles.

So in fact, he didn't feel much nervousness and strangeness to this meeting.

Most of the Nando elves have brown hair and gray eyes, and a few have different hair colors and eyes. At the same time, they were basically dressed in close-fitting suits, handguards, trousers, leather boots, and some of the hunter outfits that Charles remembered.

Even female elves rarely wore robes, mainly because it was not appropriate to wear a tocram in the woods.

These guys are all leaders or prestige in various gathering places, but the Nando elves are in a special situation, and they are obviously different from the other two elven nobles, so much so that they look like ordinary elven hunters.

Charles stood by the lake, compared to the group of elves around him, he was wearing a beautifully patterned silver-white robe, and his long black hair was neatly combed and scattered, although the whole person looked still immature, but he looked steady and indifferent.

He was standing like this at the moment, very different from the other elves sitting on the ground.

This is mainly due to the fact that if the other elves all stand up, then only a few people will be able to see the Charles.

The conditions are rudimentary, and there is no way.

At this moment, the discussion had just ended, and the eyes of each elf were full of inquiry to Charles, and beside him, Calebdil also whispered:

"Your Majesty, what is your opinion?"

He was asking about the construction of the royal city of Nando.

They had already discussed some of the details, but the question now was where exactly the royal city would need to be built.

Some propose to enter a hidden place in the middle of the Blue Mountains, while others propose to build it inside the forest. Most prefer an island in the Adulant River, one of the seven rivers.

Charles knew something about the topography of the land of seven rivers in the southeast corner of Beleriand, but it was clear that he didn't know more than the Nando elves who had lived here for thousands of years, so he nodded his head and had no opinion.

Calebdir then said aloud: "Since Your Majesty agrees, then we will finally place the location on the island of Torgarland. ”

As the words fell, all the elven leaders couldn't help but smile on their faces, and then they began to discuss the next question.

"What should our city be called?"

"What does Your Majesty think of Amonchel?"

"I propose Amenvelos ......"

Voices began to fill the clearing again.

Although they are generally old, all the elven leaders who participated in the meeting were in high spirits in the face of this rare clan event.

However, just as they were talking, a discordant voice suddenly appeared: "Wait, don't mention this matter for now, now there is a more important issue in front of us!" ”

The voice was a little sharper, but at the same time quite loud.

After the words fell, the other voices came to an end, and the elves all looked at the one who spoke. "Angelos, what's your problem?"

There are elves frowning.

I feel that this rash beating of them is really a bit impolite.

There was even a yin and yang strange voice.

"Do you want Your Majesty to watch you perform a twisting neck?"

When these words fell, some people in the know around couldn't help laughing.

In his early years, the elf named Angelosnando liked to create some strange dances of his own, and then encouraged others to learn with him, and he used to make a lot of jokes.

The male elf named Angelos glared at the mocking man, but didn't say much, and instead stood up from the root of the tree where he had been sitting.

Then he took a few steps along the gap in the crowd, then raised his hand to Charles and said loudly, "The most important question is, why do we have to have an outsider as our king!" ”

When these words fell, the surrounding atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"Isn't that already what was already said?" An elf frowned and asked, looking at Angelos with a suspicious gaze.

The other elves nodded their heads as well.

"It's true, but I don't think he's the right fit."

Angelos replied aloud, looking at Charles and accusing, "I admit that he has contributed a lot to our people, but this is fundamentally different from being a king. I don't see in him a single talent that a king should have, and he hasn't even said much from the beginning until now! ”

"That's just not necessary, Angelos, you should know that this is not the place for you to be wild." Behind Charles, Celebdir spoke out angrily.

Originally, it was very difficult for Charles to agree to become the king, but now he finally succeeded, and there was an elf who jumped out to oppose it, and it was one that he had communicated with in advance, which made Calebdir very anxious, and the corner of his eye frequently paid attention to Charles's face, for fear that the other party would regret it.

At the same time, his heart was also full of anger, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword and step forward to directly slash the troublemaker.

It's just that there are a lot of elves around to watch it, and he doesn't have a good seizure.

"Why do you want to talk about rules?" Angelos asked rhetorically, "Am I a little wrong about what I said?" Look at him, he's not even an adult! ”

"A Sindar who has not yet reached adulthood, wouldn't it make the other elves laugh when he said this? They will say, look, the dirt buns who live in the woods have chosen a little boy of our people to be king, are they already backward to such a point? ”

"Shut up! Angelos, if you don't agree with our decision, you can get out of here now, no one will stop you! A female elf standing behind Charles spoke.

"I'm just making my point, you're so unreasonable."

Angelos muttered, and he couldn't help but be even more excited when he saw that some of his people around him were stunned when they heard his words.

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, Charles, who was inexplicably stunned by his words not far away, suddenly stared at him, and a ghostly light seemed to flash in his dark eyes.

Immediately after that, Angelos felt a tightness in his heart. It was as if there was a wet and cold poisonous snake sticking to his skin and slowly crawling up his neck from behind.

It's not an illusion, it's substance!

At the same time, in his sight, the charr, which should have been weak and even thin, suddenly began to expand and grow, and the face that turned to look at him became extremely terrifying and dark!

A faint murmur of horror quietly surfaced in the bottom of his heart, and the voice was low with a strange greed, as if it was constantly coming from the abyss of ultimate evil, where someone seemed to be calling for him and coveting him......

……

Angelos, who had just been talking, suddenly stopped, and Charles, who was being targeted by him, looked at him quietly.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

The elves looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

However, after a moment of confrontation, Charles no longer looked at Angelos, but glanced at the group of Nando elves around him, and said lightly: "I have never been a king, and I never thought I would be a king. But since I'm standing here, I won't run away or regret it. I do not have any opinion on the words of this Angelos. ”

His words caused a whisper around them, but they unconsciously stopped as Charles frowned and glared.

Although the Nando elves are a little loose and unruly, they are also as sharp as the other elves, and now, they feel that the charr at this moment is full of intimidating power, and it is a little scary, which is completely different from his previous gentle behavior.

Seeing that they were quiet, Charles said, "I don't have too much thought about being a king. What I can assure you of is that when I become king, I will gather together all the people of the Nando who are willing to obey my commands to fight against foreign enemies, and not let you be scattered all over again. I'll also trade with the dwarves to change the flaws that we all know about, at least no worse than the other elves. ”

His voice paused slightly, but this time no elves interrupted him.

"I will do everything I can to make your lives better during my time as king, and in fact, even if I am not a king now, this has been proven."

Charles said this, and stopped talking about the things he had planned to do, and instead turned his attention to Angelos, who had suddenly become silent.

"As for you, Angelos, as far as I know, the current state of the Nando has been going on for hundreds of years, so where are you for such a long time?"

Angelos didn't respond, and all the elves around him looked at him.

"You didn't show anything in the past, but you just stood up at this time, just to take advantage of this to achieve your goal and split the race? Or do you want to replace me? ”

"But you have forgotten, or you remember but have long since neglected, that you were summoned here not because everyone had decided to do so, but because everyone had already acquiesced in my appointment as king."

His voice paused again, but as before, no one interrupted or objected.

Seeing this, Charles continued to speak.

"Obviously, you're one of them. So, if you don't agree, don't come to the meeting. As far as I know, there are many races who are not heeding the call. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and walked closer to Angelos, his voice kept coming, and his gaze became colder and colder.

"Now that you have come and repented of saying those words, it can be seen that the shadow of Morgoth has taken up a place in your heart."

"Your ambitions are clear, but you have no means to satisfy them. Your ** is higher than virtue, which just proves that you are just a brainless rat. ”

"Maybe I'm not the best candidate for king, but I don't think you even have the slightest qualification."

As he approached, Angelos, who was originally right, began to tremble, and even when Charles walked in front of him, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, his legs were weak, and he looked at each other in horror, drenched in cold sweat.

Seeing this, Charles sneered, then ignored this one, and turned his head to look at the surrounding elves: "My words are finished, and the decision is in your hands." ”

……

Charles's words may be wrong, but they are appropriate in the context of the current era.

The elves are sensitive, everything is upright, and the conspiracy or use of means will be despised by all the elves.

So much so that those who were not strong-willed by Angelos' language before also woke up and were annoyed, and the eyes that looked at Angelos could not hide a burst of disgust.

In fact, being able to come here already proves that they have agreed with Charles, and unless Charr keeps shrinking and does not stand up, there will be no serious surprises.

If Angelos could defend himself, then he might have a chance to turn the tables around, but for some reason, he was pale and trembling at the moment.

Outsiders didn't know what was going on, and they thought he was ashamed and scared of what he said, so they were even more disdainful. At that moment, Calebdir suddenly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee towards Charles, and swore allegiance.

The elves standing around him followed suit, and all the Nando elves who had gathered around the glade followed them and knelt down towards the charr and took the oath.

There was no surprise when Charles became king.
