Chapter 26: Anduria (2)

"Already south?!" Aaron almost screamed and stood up, looking at Handel in confusion, his tone a little impulsive: "Weishenme? What is it that makes them so flustered?!"

"Brenus, don't be impatient. Terenus glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down, "Sit down, we're discussing, keep your sanity." ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Terenus, and all of you here, I'm a little out of sorts. Aaron waved his hand and apologized. Then he sat down in his seat coldly. I could tell he was a little angry.

"Like Aaron said, Weishenme doesn't keep the promise to wait for us to arrive before we act together?" Theodore, who was sitting in the back, said unhurriedly, "If that's the case, what's the point of us coming here?"

“............ Friends from the East, have you seen tens of thousands of your countrymen, in rags, lacking food and drink, and angry? Have you heard their cries for help, their cries of revenge?" asked Elwin, holding back the grief in his heart. There was a choked voice in his voice: "This is what we hear and see." ”

"Of course, of course we did. Aaron nodded sympathetically, and his tone was low: "In Severcro, in Broken Mountain." We've heard it, and we've seen it. ”

"Well, then, I think you can understand the feeling of grief and rage, right?" Erwin let out a long exhale, his sad eyes apologetic, "Of course, we also express our gratitude for our reckless behavior, which has caused you so much trouble. ”

"So, I also hope that all of you friends who have come from afar can fulfill your promise and fight side by side with Noldor!" Elevyn, dressed in a green-edged white robe, stood up gracefully: "Orcs are our common enemies, and only by working together can we have a chance to destroy them!"

Elevin, who walked heavily, put his hand in front of him, quietly waiting for everyone's reply. Theodore and Salald and the others looked at each other, then nodded slightly.

"We want to know when the Noldor's army departed. As the commander of the coalition forces, Terenus is naturally the representative of everyone: "Also, how many troops are there in Anduria?"

"Hunters and warriors from the north, a full eight thousand men, have all set out -- just the morning before you arrived. Handel hurriedly replied, "Only the Ranger Regiment is still there, and there are about three thousand of them - they are the best warriors in the Silent Forest!"

"In other words, we can still win over 3,000 'Noldor Knights'?" said Salald, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "That's good news!"

"If so, we'll leave tomorrow. The old knight's steady and calm tone gave one an indescribable sense of trust: "The heavy infantry and archers from Rome, as well as a large number of projectile equipment, are not to be dispensed with. We'll just have to wait one day, and tomorrow at noon we'll set out to help the south!"

"Thank you for your understanding, for the help of your friends, Noldor will never forget!" Elwyn bowed slightly, his voice still so gentle: "The Forest of Silence will always remember all this!"

"We only hope that when the north is attacked by orcs, the Noldor elves will come to our aid without hesitation - with a strong army. Terenus smiled slightly: "That will be our friend's testimony, after four hundred years, the Noldor elves and humans have come together again, and it is not a sword, but a precious friendship and comradeship!"

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Elevyn said gently, "Let Anduria entertain you, I believe that the gentlemen are already hungry from the troubles of this journey, and we will hold a large banquet in the courtyard, hoping to relax you a little and relieve the fatigue of the journey." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the evening, Anduria's Spring Garden blooms with the most beautiful moment of the day – the pure white and holy moonlight flowers, and the enchanting purple jasmine............ These flowers, which bloom only at night, are now at their most beautiful, and the faint fragrance enchants all the guests.

One round dining table after another was placed in the garden, with a white candle lit in the middle, which looked so gorgeous and mysterious without other decorations, and chandeliers of various shapes were tied up with ropes and hung over the garden, so that the whole venue was shrouded in dark yellow and green shijie, and the heart could not help but be excited.

Golden fresh orange, grilled pork ribs with garlic, chilled blueberries, charcoal-grilled deer steak, fresh melon, rabbit stewed tomatoes, mashed potatoes in thick soup.................. The delicacies that have been seen and never seen fly to the guests' tables like butterflies, making these long-awaited guys salivate and can't wait to eat them.

Although the Roman knife and fork had begun to become popular in the north, the Noldor elves of the Silent Forest had never seen this thing, and they all ate their dishes directly in bread, which was also a unique flavor.

Even when eating, the knights from all over the north are all different and diverse. All the members of the Knights of the Dawn who participated in the banquet first saw how the elves ate before proceeding, the commander of the First Legion, Pabriuk, and Paulus, the eagle standard-bearer, and the captains of the wings, all brought their own knives and forks, and the knights of Salion looked regretful, because Salald had not informed them of such a dinner before, and they had already eaten too much bread and cured meats when they were in the barracks, and at this time they could only pick a few rare fruits and vegetables from the list of tastes and taste.

As for the knights of the north under the command of the Grand Duke of Brenus, they fully embodied the atmosphere and boldness of the Far North Ice Field--they did not care to grab the oily ribs and roast meat from their plates and throw them into their mouths, gobbling up the tender and delicious oranges and melons, as if they were some terrible thing, and the juice overflowed on their faces, and the plates and spoons became the most beautiful instruments on the table, and they kept striking.

Aaron, who was blushing, didn't even dare to look at the gaze cast at him, and he now began to regret telling them in advance to get ready - the knights had not only prepared clean clothes and armor, but also a hungry appetite, and they certainly didn't eat lunch!

This also had a lot to do with the cold climate of the north - many of the knights of the Grand Duke of Brenus were of highland blood, and with the exception of a few children of good families who had received formal knight training in the south, many of the combat experts were of the rather rough type. Coupled with the special geographical location of the Arctic Ice Sheet, various spices and vegetables are expensive, and they have also developed the habit of eating meat and drinking wine to resist the cold.

"It seems that your people know how to liven up the atmosphere!" Erwin smiled as he walked over to Aaron, holding a small plate in his hand, "The more lively it is." ”

"I'm so sorry, I mean............ For such a faux pas!" Aaron stood up with a ashamed face and covered his red face with his right hand: "I'm so sorry!"

"No, no, no, there's nothing rude about that!" Erwin shook his head, his tone brisk: "This kind of banquet is very luxurious even in normal times, let alone at such a time, if it can make everyone forget the pain and war for a while, it would be great." ”

"We use joy and pleasure to enjoy the gifts of the great Silent Forest, and to maintain the balance of the whole Silent Forest with cherishing and cherishing. Ellewin spoke softly in a chant-like tone: "That's our life, our everything." ”

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

"Oh~ It's just an old man's boring moan, you don't need to worry too much!" This extremely haode Vara, who has a skin care person, actually revealed a vicissitudes of life: "I don't know if I can talk to you?" This Lord Julian, I heard that you once formed an indissoluble bond with black tea, maybe we can have some common topics?"

As he spoke, Erwin stretched out his right hand to Theodore, who was sitting on the side of his only son, making Caesar, who had no intention of dealing with him, a little caught off guard, and said a few words in a daze: "Of course!"

"I have some very good teas here, but unfortunately there are so few people who know about it. Erwin turned to the side and smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "If you like, please come to the gazebo on the lake, where I will wait for you." ”

................................................

On the gentle lake pond, the reflection of the bright moon is reflected, sparkling in the water, the elegant and indifferent moonlight flowers climb on the pillars of the pavilion, and there is only a small round table in the small pavilion, with two candles.

As if unaware of Theodore's arrival, Elevin skillfully removed the teapot from the stove, laid out two small clay cups on the table, and poured the reddish tea into the cups with a flick of his wrist. Elevin exhaled softly and gently placed the teapot on the table.

"This is the first tea of the year before the rain and dew, and it has more flavor than the others, I hope you will like it. "Ehler's gentle temperament is very contagious, with wide sleeves and long robes, and beautiful gazebos—if it weren't for Eylwin's long golden hair, Theodore would almost have thought he had traveled back in time to ancient China.

Sitting on the chair, I picked up the cup lightly, took a sip of the steam, and the elegant fragrance spread along the mouth to the whole body, and the whole body was indescribably comfortable. Theodore slowly put down the teacup: "What exactly do you want to ask? ”

But soon Theodore could not relax so much, and Elewin said it in an almost bland tone, which made the young Caesar shudder!

"Sibea. ”
