[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Lucius and Thranduil, who deliberately avoided the interference of the outside world and finally reached a trust, enjoyed freedom and relaxation in a tacit understanding.

There are no constraints on such peace and pleasure at Long Lake.

However, even if one ignores the ever-changing world outside, not all people in the Long Lake can just sit back and watch the passage of time indifferently.

Elrond came to Romanian with concerns and goals, and finally settled in the increasingly prosperous Long Lake.

But the vibrant city ended up exacerbating his concerns.

On the bright side, Changhu Town is indeed a good place.

Extending from the City Lord's Mansion in the central area, most places in the city can see the natural coexistence of humans, elves and dwarves at the same time.

A tacit understanding between the three races has been formed, even in such a key position as town guard.

Such a situation is a good sign for all the bright creatures on the continent who must unite to face the war.

However, Elrond was still worried.

Long Lake has always been the most attractive to humans.In just a few years, the water town formed by poor fishermen has expanded more than five times, and three quarters of the city have fallen on solid land, firmly standing on its feet.At the same time, the population here is also growing at a no-nonsense rate.

Now the human caravans who entered the city of trade for the first time can quickly inquire about the situation here. The three major forces and the five major families are the most general rankings.The former refers to the situation of the three Romanian races, and the latter refers to the emerging immigrant dignitaries who have rapidly expanded during the growth of emerging cities.

A big city with only one detached city lord will obviously have a lot of power space, money, force, resources, these are important capitals for latecomers to catch up.

This place has become a new paradise for those who strive for fame and wealth.

However, the attraction that Lucius brought to the city is constantly enriching and changing, and the enthusiasm of human beings is not affected in the slightest.It is not only the believers of the dark world that are attracted by the strong with the dark mark.

The black and white barriers that human beings no longer care about are constantly fading, which just shows that the power of corruption has always been affecting this world.

The old-fashionedness of the elves is a kind of rigidity, but it is also a kind of caution.

In this regard, human beings are always the most radical.

Even if everything is still under control now, what about another five years?

The active trade has given the other grain-producing areas of Long Lake a vitality that is hard to match, especially the double increase brought by the kingdom of elves and dwarves is the most special.

In time, the relationship between Changhu and the other three Romanian cities will inevitably be reversed.

At that time, what will the city lord Lucius look like?

During the time when Lucius and Thranduil had no time to worry about the guests, Elrond's observations allowed him to fully understand the true face of this uncomplicated new city.

Lucius is indeed the founder of Long Lake's prosperity, but he is not the most direct operator.In the early days, after he instilled his ideas into Qi Lier, he has been relying on the matron to implement most of the plans for him, and the effect is remarkable.

However, Lucius' prestige did not decline.

During his travels, more resources were connected to the city because of him, and legends passed down by word of mouth outline his wisdom and mystery.

And a recent victory made his strength even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even Elrond saw more than one woodcut statue made for him spontaneously by the townspeople.

The only possible conjecture for this phenomenon is that the appearance of Lucius happened to cater to this era, especially the urgent needs of the human race to call for heroes.

In fact, Elrond discovered that many ordinary people in Long Lake Town didn't know that Lucius was an elf, and they couldn't even tell Lucius' identity.

******

When Lucius finally remembered to take his guests to visit the port as promised, Elrond had already accumulated enough anxiety here.

"I thought the bustling scene of Long Lake could bring you some optimistic signals, but you seem worried." Lucius accompanied Lord Rivendell on the main road of Long Lake Town, and finally walked Arrived at the pier.

The pier was the reason why Lucius invited Elrond, and it was considered a military important place on Long Lake.However, Elrond did not seem to care about their destination.

"Such a lively scene can only be seen in a safe place. Isn't it worthy of our gratitude that the danger has not yet come?" Lucius knew the reason why Elrond was absent-minded.

After returning from Dale City, Thranduil has been avoiding him.

The Elf King didn't want to talk about Xidu, and he didn't want this additional factor to affect the atmosphere inside the Woodland Kingdom.

Elrond also understood the subtext of Thranduil's move, so although there would be no substantial gains in staying in Long Lake, he also stayed.

However, the prosperity of the long lake that I stayed to see did not necessarily fully meet Elrond's psychological expectations.

"Darkness will not never come," sighed Elrond.

"Isn't it the best way to accumulate strength through prosperity and development before the final battle?" Lucius asked rhetorically.

Elrond was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was that what Lucius said was not wrong, but he also felt that something was wrong.

Thranduil's avoidance made Elrond's waiting gradually become a waste.But for Elrond, he really has no better way now.

Whether it is he, Saruman, or Gandalf, they are all running as hard as they can.

These are all efforts of helplessness, which is better than nothing.

There are very few souls with enough foresight in the world after all, this is where they are most powerless.

However, this is also what Lucius has always been very curious about.

"Since the danger has not yet arrived, and the elves can travel westward to obtain the protection of Vera, why didn't you choose to leave, but stayed, worrying about most situations that are beyond your control?" Lucius asked directly road.

Elrond didn't expect Lucius to think so deeply.In his impression, ever since he learned the fact that black and white forces are incompatible, Lucius began to show a respectful and insensitive attitude towards the Holy White Council and everything about the fate of the elves.

Moreover, Lucius' question was not easy to answer.

Elrond opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.

The elves can get a happy land on that continent, but not all elves will choose this way.Moreover, this is indeed not just a matter of the elves' own choice.

Thinking of this, Elrond couldn't help but sigh: "Asylum may not be without reason."

Lucius snorted lightly and sighed, "This sounds very utilitarian."

Elrond shook his head helplessly and said, "At least that's not how I understand it."

"Elves have no way to leave this world, but humans can leave this scorched earth after a short and splendid life. Even if it is so unfair, you still have to think and plan for the people who are about to leave." Lucius concluded from his own perspective , "I really don't think it's worth it."

"Because this is our home, we cannot avoid it."

"According to this logic, it seems reasonable that human beings are not willing to join forces with you." Lucius deduced.

Elrond was suffocated by the words, and looked helplessly at Lucius.

"With all due respect, I have never been able to understand the logic of 'fate' in this world." Lucius shrugged his shoulders very calmly, "I also don't see the so-called 'chance'."

"Sauron, according to the description in the book, is an existence that cannot be eliminated. He is one of the creators of this world, with free will. His power is destined to permeate every corner of this world, and the elves have no way to change it. This fact. Even if we gathered enough power to destroy all the dark creatures he could command, wouldn't we have nothing to do with his existence itself? Knowing that you can destroy him by destroying the Lord of the Rings, it doesn't sound like it It seems to be an inevitable result. Otherwise, why can he come again and again?"

Elrond did not expect that Lucius would take the initiative to talk to him about his consideration of the war. He was a little surprised and subconsciously surprised.

The uncertainty hidden in Lucius is also related to his deliberately ambiguous attitude.If an agreement can be reached, it will be a good thing for the ending that Shengbai is planning.

"Sauron's strength is indeed not something any of us can match. But every time he fails, he will lose part of his strength. So from this perspective, he is not invincible. We really can't destroy him, but You can try to make him lose the ability to reappear in this world."

"It's only been a few years since he last appeared in the Battle of the Five Armies. After being expelled, he has returned to the central stage of the world. Can your strategy really work?" Lucius asked.

Elrond did not give a definite answer, but he asked rhetorically: "He is indeed getting weaker every time, isn't he? That's why he needs to retrieve these rings to gain strength."

"You mean the Lord of the Rings of dwarves and elves?" Lucius raised his eyebrows.

Elrond glanced at him: "I think Thranduil should have told you everything about it. You don't need to doubt the power of the Lord of the Rings. It's fine to keep that ring in your hand, but I I must remind you that you must take good care of it."

"Then what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with it? Send it to Rivendell or to the dwarves?" Seeing Elrond's prudence, Lucius said with a smile, not lacking in sincerity.

Elrond, however, was questioned.

This is also the point of contradiction within Shengbai that failed to reach a complete consensus.At least for this lord, he never wanted to interfere with the choice of the ring bearer, as long as those rings were kept safe from Mordor.

A ring that belonged to a dwarf is indeed a hot potato.

However, Elrond immediately thought of another problem.

After that great war, the disappearance of the ring was not without trace.There are only a handful of possible rings in this world, and the whereabouts of them are unknown and those that may be locked are also not clueless.

The one that Lucius got by chance has been ruled out as a key suspect, and Elrond seems to have heard about the rest.

If it is difficult to reach an agreement from the perspective of the actual interests of each race, can Shengbai's focus be adjusted in one direction?

Elrond was lost in thought.

Lucius glanced at his expression, and wisely did not interrupt his thinking.

The Lord of the Rings, the key one, is where the power of ordinary living beings is gathered.

Such key words also made Lucius couldn't help thinking about it.

It seems that the appearance of this kind of thing is really not a "specialty" unique to any world?

Just when the two elves faced each other silently and were distracted while standing on the empty special pier, an elf guard who rushed over in a panic woke them up: "Lucius, Lord Elrond, it's not good, Woodland The kingdom has been attacked by dark creatures."

The author has something to say: Thank you for your landmine rewards~~~
