178 Simple Transactions
Warm sunlight shuffles through the shade of the trees overhead, shrouding the soft grass in the forest, making it bright and pleasant.
A melodious song sounded faintly from somewhere in the forest and spread all around.
"Night Ravens and Moonlight Fly Together"
"The storm roars with the snow and ice"
"He knew the news was coming"
"Angban will disappear"
"The dragon will die"
"Beauty and Peace Return to Home"
"He knew the news was coming"
"The Eagles Sing"
"The kings of the south will rise."
……
The song was gentle and soft, but inexplicably it seemed excited, and even the birds on the surrounding branches became active, jumping and chirping.
It's just that it's a remote place, and the elves who listen to the song are not thrilled by it.
"It feels a little awkward." A voice said.
"It's very awkward, and I think it's more appropriate to replace the last sentence with it."
The singer's voice is melodious and melodious, and the simple words sound as good as singing.
"I don't mean that, but ...... Feeling a little fake? ”
"But I don't think the praise of this song is even a tenth of the truth." The elf retorted, but then she changed the subject.
"But since you don't like it, I'll sing another one, listen."
As he spoke, without waiting for the other party to respond, another melodious song quietly sounded.
"There was a loud bang in the north"
Sindar Cry
"Reverberating between the rocks"
"Answering the Call"
"Put on Your Armor"
"The ...... of the People of Peace"
The beautiful sound stopped abruptly just at the beginning, and then there was only a whining sound that seemed to be blocked in the mouth, and the voice was trivial, and after a while, the slightly shy words appeared again.
"Don't make trouble, I haven't finished singing yet, and what if I see it."
"What are you afraid of, there are no other elves around."
"But there are birds, there are so many of them, and they will laugh at me."
"It's easy to do, I'll teach you a spell, if any bird laughs at you, you can use this spell to secretly observe it, and if you don't believe it, you can't get the handle......"
……
The intimate conversation was silent and silent, and a warm atmosphere turned silent.
Charles sat against the trunk of an oak tree on a slightly sloping green hill in the woods, while Lucien snuggled into his arms, her face flushed, her tall and slender figure twisted and stretched, outlining a graceful curve against the long blue dress.
Quietly enjoying the existing tranquility, feeling the touch and temperature of the other person's body, time seems to become slow and fast.
Until Charles looked down at the woman in his arms.
"I'm leaving Middle-earth for Amen, will you leave with me?"
"What are you doing in Amen Island?" Lucien looked up at Charles in surprise with her grey eyes.
"I promised a certain Vera to settle there."
"Will you be back?"
"Probably not."
These words made Lucian's expression stunned, and she bowed her head and remained silent, but gradually, the hand holding Charles's chest became tighter and tighter.
So in the end, she whispered: "Will they let me go, I heard that Amen Zhou can't go casually, and many Noldor are not qualified to go back if they want to." ”
"As long as you want to, there will be no obstacles." Charles replied.
Lucien didn't answer, but leaned up, and finally put her head on her lover's shoulder, and her beautiful eyes like the reflection of a starry lake were close to him.
The gesture looks very intimate, but the hearts of both parties seem to overlap at this moment.
Feeling the same warm heartbeat and a sense of dependence on the chest as it clings to its chest, although it does not respond, it does not need to be expressed in words.
Raising his hand to stroke her long black and silky hair, Charles suddenly smiled and said, "At the banquet in the evening, I will discuss the engagement with your parents, if you are shy, you should go away early." ”
"I'm not leaving!"
……
Lucien, who made such a claim, sneaked away during the dinner party to talk about it, leaving Charles alone to face the Singers.
However, there is no embarrassment or embarrassment, after going through a lot, the relationship between the two parties has long passed the unfamiliar stage, and many things can be said openly.
In fact, His Majesty the King of Dorias was very pleased with the young elf who had come to negotiate marriage at the end of the war.
Whether it is his positive attitude towards the matter, or the many qualities of being his son-in-law.
"The engagement banquet will be held in Doriath, the queen and I were in a bit of a hurry, and I have always regretted that we could not hold the ceremony in person."
Singh said that he spoke more frequently about this matter, and was relatively more like a mother-in-law.
The real mother-in-law, on the contrary, has been sitting there and rarely speaking, smiling and listening to the communication between her husband and her future son-in-law, occasionally adding a sentence or two.
However, after she found Charles alone and told her many things about her daughter's personality and preferences, she suddenly asked.
"Will the darkness that is about to be revived come from Linton?"
Charles was silent.
……
Shire's visit doesn't stop at Doriath.
In fact, he had already arrived in two dwarven city-states before.
Once he had settled on something, he set out again on the road of successive visits.
Nagoth Lund, the human settlements, Hearum, Gondolim, the ports of the West Coast, and Dosonian, which has been reconquered and swept by the elves.
All the territories that sent troops in that battle appeared in the Charles.
No one knew why the Lord of Linton had suddenly embarked on this journey, and he had not said anything important, and even many elves were puzzled.
But in reality, this was really just a visit, to meet these familiar and unfamiliar faces who responded to his call, and then to take a good look at the beauty of Middle-earth.
It's just that he doesn't have much time to stay in Middle-earth.
The deal was generally simple, as it would provide him with a better space and time to grow, and he would have to stay away from what was in Middle-earth, lest he intentionally or unintentionally upset more of his fate.
It was about the fundamental purpose of the creation, but the other party didn't say much, and Charles didn't ask.
He thinks that everything he does is in his own interests and even in the interests of all living beings, but it is clear that what is good for the world does not mean that it is good for the same.
Charles didn't ask what would happen if he refused, he wasn't so uninteresting.
But he wondered, if he was harmful to the world, then why didn't the Creator purge him in advance or guide him away?
Why do you suddenly show up after everything has already happened?
Claiming that Charles had disrupted his plans, why didn't he choose to kill him outright, and instead proposed a so-called deal?
I am afraid that no one can answer him these questions except Yiru.
However, the existence did not appear for long before quietly departing.
……
"Maybe he took a nap? Maybe he's a good guy? ”
"Or is there something I don't know?" Murmuring rang out from somewhere within the Gondolin area.
"What?" At the stone bench in the courtyard, Arettir was sitting sewing a silver belt for him, looking up at him, puzzled.
"I was thinking that the journey should be long, and that a comfortable boat might be needed."
Charles replied that the donkey's lips were not on the horse's mouth, so the other party glanced at him helplessly, and then lowered his head again and concentrated on the task at hand.
Charles stopped thinking, but quietly stared at the mother in front of him, who was initially strange.
Gradually, the feeling of being disappointed by the need to leave Middle-earth quietly dissipated.
What he cares about is never this world......
