There was silence in the treehouse, and Calebdil, who was standing at the window and turned to look at Charles, looked sincere and deferential, but Charles only felt that he might have misheard.

"Are you kidding?" He couldn't help but say.

"If you think so." As he spoke, he walked up to Charles, raised his hand to his chest, knelt on one knee, and repeated again:

"The 103 Nando tribes of the Land of the Seven Rivers wish to remain loyal to you forever and to be the ruler of all the Nando people. Cele Boudir swears in the name of the stars that all of the above is true. ”

"I'm not a Nando."

"You're a Taylorre." "Forgive me, Charles, for the sake of prudence, I left the Land of the Seven Rivers to investigate your origins, you ......"

He hesitated, but finally said, "Maybe you don't remember this, but your father was Eor of the Sindar, and the predecessor of the Sindar was the Tellerry. You should know that the Nando is actually a branch of the Telleri tribe. ”

Seeing that Charles was speechless for a moment, he added: "Besides, we don't care about this in the first place, no matter what kind of race you are, you are always in the same category as us. ”

Because he is still "young", Charles does not understand this. But the elves really don't care about that.

The Nando split off from the Telleri among the three ancient migratory tribes, and in fact, according to the original trajectory, the descendants of the Nando, the Sylvan Elves, would even choose two Sindar to be their two kings early in the next era.

One of these two was Thranduil's father, Legolas's grandfather, and a Sindar elf named Olophil.

The other was Lorien's first king, Amdire. It's just that the inheritance of this one has been broken in his son's generation.

So much so that the kingdom of Lorien Forest was later ruled by Galadriel (Galadriel), who was from the Noldor tribe, and her husband, Celeborn of Sindar, until the Lord of the Rings.

So, there is a post-conviction for this.

But in fact, the same is true in this era, and more than a hundred years later, some of the Green Elves in the Land of Seven Rivers will also obey the orders of the human husband of a certain Sindar princess and the new king of Sinda.

Even not only the Green Elves, as the largest group of Beleriander, there are also many elves of the Sindar clan who do not submit to the Grey Elf Kingdom, but serve under the hands of many Noldor royal clans.

After the construction of the hidden kingdom of Gangdorin, tens of thousands of Sindar elves chose to join the Noldor royal family and become its people—more than the Noldor followed.

The main reason for all of the above is simply the king's high prestige, strong ability, and "temper".

But there are no elves to consider the race.

This notion may be due to the fact that the elves are almost immortal, remembering the Age of the Stars. It could also be because the race is just something like a birthplace for the elves. In short, it is not consistent with some of the stereotypes of the Shire.

Charles didn't understand for a while, but he didn't dwell on it, but got up and picked up Calebdil, looked at his slender arm, and couldn't help but say, "But I'm not an adult yet." ”

"Age doesn't limit our opinion of you, as I said, you've proven yourself in the last ten years, and you've had the prestige to be king, something that all the other elves of the Nandor lack. What's more, not long ago I had heard many of your deeds outside the Land of the Seven Rivers that even a thousand nineteen hundred and twenty-three years old could not do. The other party replied sincerely.

"But why me? I mean, you really don't have anyone else to choose from? ”

"If there were, then the Land of Seven Rivers already had a new king, and it would not have been delayed until now."

Celebdir replied bitterly, and then said, "I know this is really sudden for you, but I don't think we have much time left. The encirclement of the Noldor tribe in the north is not precarious, as was confirmed by the two events of ten years ago. I don't know when the danger will erupt, but the Nando elves must unite as soon as possible, or there will be no resistance! ”

Charles was tempted to say what it had to do with me. But thinking about his leisurely life in the past ten years, and thinking of those ugly orcs, he can't completely stay out of it.

It's just that if he wants to give up his original goal and stay here, it won't be possible.

For Charles, being an Elven King is just a nice name, but in fact it will be a distraction, and it will not help him much in his personal strength.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to be the king here, or anywhere else, and I don't have any interest in it. ”

"Why?" Celebdir couldn't help but ask.

"There is no why, different views, different philosophies, different goals." Charles replied.

"Don't you hate orcs?" The other party's voice was excited.

"I'll kill them all if I could." "But obviously not now, not as a king." ”

"What's so bad about being a king? You can raise the army of the Nando, and we will be your sword and shield! ”

But it's more likely to be a drag.

Charles replied secretly, but he didn't say it directly, just shook his head again.

……

The reason for Charles' refusal to be this king was simple, he did not want to bother with all kinds of trivial matters.

What is clear is that it will take a lot of effort and time to bring a fragmented race together.

With this time, he might as well study the knowledge in his head, although the hope is a little weak, but it is also more simple and direct.

Relatively speaking, stepping into an unfamiliar and unaware realm to develop so-called power is obviously just a matter of taking things for granted.

Commanders, rulers, royal powers, government affairs, and even power disputes......

Unless you're a tyrant, or a puppet. Otherwise, it is not destined to be easy.

Ten years later, Charles still has a lot of affection for this place, so naturally he will not be a so-called tyrant.

As for the puppet? Or a mascot?

Charles felt that that was not bad, and the other party probably also had this layer of thought, and wanted to rely on his reputation to quickly unite the entire race.

But come to think of it, it's not necessary.

For such a long time, he has learned almost the knowledge of the Nando tribe, and his body has grown to a certain extent. So lately he's been thinking about leaving here and studying blacksmithing among the dwarves.

If he really said that there was any danger coming, he would not turn a blind eye, and it would be better to be a mascot if he was a mascot. It's a big deal to put some thought and time.

Anyway, he is still in the growth period, and the last thing he lacks is time.

But the attack a decade ago seemed to him nothing more than an accident.

Located in the southeast corner of Beleriander, in this deep mountain and old forest, what danger are there to these green elves?

The sky is falling, and there are still the Noldor and even the Sindar in front of them.

……

Charles is actually right in this view.

The natural topography and river protection, according to the original development of events, the land of seven rivers, a remote place close to the Blue Mountains, has not been attacked by war, and even became a refuge for elves after the Noldor and Sindar armies were defeated.

It's just that he obviously can't imagine how much his past existence has affected this world, and he won't think about how big the butterfly effect is because of it.
