East boundary

When the last two people set foot on the cargo ship of the human race, it was already close to dusk, and the sea was glowing red with fire and clouds.

Thranduil stood on the side of the ship, his long pale golden hair stirred by the sea breeze, and he missed his son Legolas and his people.

Cang Qi gave him food.

"Thank you." Thranduil took the food and thanked him gently.

Cang Qi could feel that Thranduil was in a good mood.

Thranduil was really in a good mood, the ship was sailing smoothly, and it was almost at the entrance of Valinor.The darkness and decay of Middle-earth loathed him, and he missed the clean, pure air.

But his good mood was quickly shattered. With a loud crash, the originally calm sea surface suddenly boiled. The waves leaped into the air and slapped the hull. The huge ship swayed like a piece of thin paper.

The people on the boat ran and screamed, but Thranduil held on to the pole firmly so as not to be shaken.

A huge blue bird floated out of the blue water, yes, a big bird with open wings and a pointed beak.Right in front of him, emerging from the sea.Those big white eyes stared at him blankly as soon as they came out of the water.The huge blue wings almost merged with the sea surface. Its wings slapped the water surface slowly, and the wind and waves caused the big ship to almost turn over, and the pole almost broke.Thranduil once again refreshed the world view, it was really a huge monster.He had no doubt that a flap of the bird's wings would soon turn the ship upside down.

Thranduil let go of the wooden pole, grabbed Cang Qi at the side, and sure enough stabilized his body, it should have been like this a long time ago, it was much safer this way, he thought to himself.

Cang Qi was always calm, he stood firmly on the boat like a god.As if the sky was falling and he could catch it with one hand... well, stop, that's absurd.

Thranduil heard him say something in a low voice, the hull actually began to rise slowly, and broke away from the water surface, the violent air stopped, the strong wind was isolated, and the whole big ship seemed to be covered by invisible glass, no doubt, Cang Qi casts a barrier.People began to look up at the sky, thank God, and hid in the small rooms in the ship.No one noticed them.

The big blue bird also flew up as the hull rose, tilted its head to look at them, and called out to Thranduil.

Cang Qi blinked and smiled: "Little elf, this little bird likes you very much."

"...is this a small bird!?" Thranduil looked at the huge blue bird with huge wings fluttering on the sea, and said, "In your eyes, is there a word 'big'?"

"..." Cang Qi began to think seriously: "It is not yet an adult, of course it is a bird."

"..." Thranduil was speechless for a while, expressing that he still couldn't understand Cang Qi's worldview.

The big bird was not malicious, it flapped its wings as slowly as possible, tilted its head blankly, looked at the ship hanging in the air above the sea, then looked at Thranduil, opened its sharp beak, and uttered a soft cry, wanting to He went to peck Thranduil, but was bounced away by the barrier, dropping a few feathers.

Cang Qi turned to look at him and said, "It seems that it really likes you."

Thranduil couldn't understand: "Is liking an expression of affection?"

He looked at the big blue bird, and those white bird eyes also looked at Thranduil suspiciously, making a melodious chirp, and the beautiful horns on its head emitted a blue light.The sunset fell on its exquisite feathers, and Thranduil admired it sincerely. This is a beautiful bird, although it is too big and a bit stupid.

It continued to come towards the barrier, opened its mouth, and tried to grab Thranduil away.After trying several times, they were all bounced off by the barrier, and the corners of his mouth began to ooze blood.

Thranduil frowned and said, "What is it doing? Don't you want to die?"

Cang Qi had seen this kind of bird before, and he said clearly: "This is an ancient underwater bird with developed visual nerves and likes beautiful... things." He glanced at the Elf King: "The life span is very long, but other senses are very weak. Weak, many of them are stupid..."

Thranduil waved his hand, "Wait... what does this have to do with me?" He didn't admit that he was a "beautiful thing".Also, when you say the last sentence, what do you see me doing?

The sea bird hovered in the sky, occasionally leaning over to impact the barrier.Birds with sensory derangement feel little pain.

"Then what does it want?" He thought of the big horned deer, and couldn't bear it: "You let it stop."

Cang Qi looked at him and said seriously: "...I don't know how to speak birds."

"……Oh."

A gust of wind under the feet floated the hem of the clothes of the two of them, Cang Qi flew him across the barrier, and the sea bird flapped its wings and rushed over.Thranduil felt a sudden gust of wind, "The sea bird is a loyal partner." Cang Qi grabbed his shoulders and jumped lightly, landing on the sea bird's back. "Exactly, it can send you into Valinor."

Thranduil sat on the back of its neck, nodded, feeling relieved.After all, human ships cannot pass through Valinor, and he is troubled by this.Undersea birds belong to the sea, and maybe they can really help themselves.And it seems to like itself.

Seeing Thranduil sitting on its back and neck, the sea bird turned its head and called, as if to say: "I'm a good bird." It flapped its big wings and flew up and down for a while, very unhappy.Thranduil gripped its feathers tightly to make sure it wouldn't be thrown off.Thanks to Cang Qi, he is not so afraid of heights after flying around these days.

Cang Qi stood on the bird's back, looking at Thranduil.The sea breeze blew his black clothes.Delicate gilt-patterned trim has a mystical gleam.

On the vast and boundless sea, the underwater bird flapped its wings and flew towards the sunset with a clear and long whistle.

The big ship fell back to the surface of the sea, and finally a bold man poked his head out of the cabin tremblingly, only to see a faint blue dot slowly disappearing between the sea and the sky.

The sea was calm again.
