[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves
Chapter 183
In the end, the culprit caught by Legolas was a wave of spiders.It is a small spider that has never been seen before. It is extremely fast and is not good at making webs. It basically relies on its own speed and not-so-vicious toxins to hunt for food.
Legolas took the elves to thoroughly search the lair they finally found, and came to that conclusion through the various traces left by those creatures.
Because the evil lair that was finally locked was located in the southeast corner of the Mirkwood Mountain Range, it was already a key location close to the intersection of the Old Forest Road and the River Run River, and the related situation was likely to threaten the main trade route leading to Long Lake Town.The elf prince thoughtfully sent a copy of the beheaded little spider and a sample of toxin and spider silk collected from near the lair to Changhu Town.
In addition, Legolas also found some traces of clues that were suspected to have migrated from outside the dense forest.
In short, this wave of alarm sounded by the Woodland Kingdom can be regarded as triumphantly dismissed, and in the end it was just a false alarm.
This result is of course a good thing to be happy about.
However, although the elves who heard the transmission were relieved, they were not really relieved.
This is not an alarm, but it is worth an alarm.
Obviously, in the hearts of many elves, the horn of war has already sounded, and the peaceful days of the past have been broken.
This time it was a nest of innocuous little spiders, so what will be next time?Will it be another unrivaled dragon?
The heavy atmosphere makes people speechless.
Elrond spoke after a period of silence, his tone already made up his mind: "I will leave for Rivendell tomorrow."
He came to Long Lake to find an opportunity for an alliance between different races.
Things are really changing now.However, such a change alone can't convince anyone, on the contrary, it just makes the people who were already vigilant even more nervous.
What's more, even if the activities of these little spiders can really serve as evidence to convince humans or dwarves, the results that Elrond can get will probably be in vain.
The area to the east of Mirkwood is followed by brownfields, a blank area that even the Woodland Kingdom can't do anything about.Is it necessary to let the coalition forces of the three races search that area that is absolutely not safe for them?
If they really had the ability to patrol there, that clearing would have been their territory long ago.
The sense of powerlessness brought about by reality made Elrond even more anxious.
He can also stay in Long Lake and wait for the next convincing event to happen, but he is not sure whether he can really use the same mood to welcome such a "sign" to happen.
Now that there are no more situations happening, no one can say clearly whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
In case something really happens, is it a rare opportunity for the alliance, or a destructive force that they can't bear?
Thranduil guessed that Elrond would take a detour on the old forest road to check the situation on the return journey, so he nodded to Elrond: "Be careful, I will let the guards escort you to the old ferry."
Elrond made no excuses.
******
With the departure of Elrond, the elves from the woodland kingdom also received orders to leave one after another.
Thranduil had no intention of returning to the Woodland Kingdom at this time, but his expression was never relaxed.
The study room, which was bustling for a while, fell silent, leaving only Hadien and Annis following behind.
Lucius stepped forward and tapped the map with his wand.
Much of the information mentioned in the discussion just now is presented in the form of living dots, enriching the already detailed map.
This is an unprecedented presentation just now, and the effect is naturally needless to say.
Thranduil turned his head to glance at Lucius, but Lucius was still thinking about it.
Because Lucius was sure that Sauron's power was already entrenched in Dol Guldur at this time, so for him, what the elves thought was just a false alarm was no longer a vague signal, but a clear enough sign.
The little spider's habits don't sound scary, but when combined with the background that Dol Guldur has unknowingly regrouped its dark powers, all the details become scary.
Judging from the weak viability of this species itself, it is obvious that this will not be a species that reproduces and survives alone.
The complexity of the biological chain is far from being fully understood by short-term analysis, but judging from other historical experiences, these little spiders are most likely to play the role of scouts.
If analyzed from a strategic point of view, the meaning represented by scouts is much more complicated.
But at least one conclusion is beyond doubt, Sauron has begun to covet this area north of the old forest road.
The difference may just be what his coveted focus is.
Although Sauron's existence in Dol Guldur escaped the supervision of the Holy White Council, this should be more due to the role of the spy Saruman.Therefore, the overall situation of the dark forces on the entire continent should not exceed Sheng Bai's expectations.
In other words, Sauron definitely does not have the strength to send troops to conquer the entire Romanian region right now.
If he is not targeting this territory, it can only show that his goal is much smaller than this reference object.
Smaller than the town, and quite attractive, there are probably only key figures.
Combined with the dragon attack that ended not long ago, the final possibility range is already very small.
Lucius tightened his grip on the wand under his sleeve.
It seems that what Sauron himself said, he really didn't just say it.
Of course, a small wave of spiders that only have scouting functions can't do much damage to the woodland kingdom.But it would make a lot more sense if they were there just to send a signal.
So now, why did Sauron recruit him, and should he tell Thranduil?
When Lucius was in a daze, Thranduy walked up to him.
Because there were only Hardion and Annis left in the study, the Elf King didn't have any scruples, and embraced Lucius from behind without saying a word.
The approaching temperature interrupted Lucius' solitary contemplation.
Thranduil unexpectedly liked this kind of intimate contact, and would be more proactive when getting along.
For such closeness, Lucius is no longer used to it at the beginning.
Hadien and Annis have also habitually started to look at the sky and the ground with one, pretending to look away naturally.
"Elrond doesn't seem to have gained anything this time." Lucius thought for a while and asked softly, "What kind of proposal did Holy White originally prepare?"
It was not that Elrond had no communication with Thranduy before he left, but Lucius avoided them all.
The Elf King's eyes flashed with disdain, but he just said lightly: "Impractical."
"So, you're not worried about that." What Lucius really cared about was not Shengbai's situation, "Then you are worried about Legolas?"
Thranduy froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head again.
"That means you still have doubts about the spider." Lucius turned his face sideways, looked up into Thranduil's eyes, and said sincerely, "Do you want me to go there with you?"
Such a proposal is not false.
Thranduil obviously still has doubts about the conclusion about the little spider that the Woodland Kingdom finally reported.But if the elves failed to find any more clues in the spider lair with the strength of Legolas as the team leader, then even if the elf king of Thranduil sent more elves to investigate, there would be no more clues. It will be in vain.
If the Elf King himself goes there, it is naturally possible to get more information that is not easy to detect.However, there is no way to predict what will happen to the accident that may be triggered by further investigation.
And if there is anyone in the Romanian region who has the strength to accompany Thranduil to retreat from all kinds of risks without holding back, or even help, it is only Lucius.
"No," Thranduil immediately rejected the wizard's proposal, and said with concern, "I hope you don't go near there."
It is self-evident what "over there" refers to.
Thranduil probably wouldn't be too worried about Lucius' combat effectiveness, so what he really wanted the latter to stay away from in his words obviously wasn't referring to possible dangerous battles.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about me that much." Lucius smiled softly, some things, no matter whether you worry about them or not, can't change the fact of their objective existence.
It has to be said that when Sauron issued a "gracious invitation" to himself, Lucius felt that Thranduil's intuition was extremely accurate.
Of course, it is indeed because of the precision that it is unusual.
They all have something to hide, and they don't ask or mention it, which is the tacit agreement they reached after mutual compromise.
However, no matter how accurate Thranduil's feeling was, it was probably impossible to accurately predict all of Sauron's actions.And his hope that Lucius can survive the war by staying away from all sources of darkness is obviously impossible to realize one day.
Bitterness flashed in Lucius's heart, but the expression on his face was indifferent, and the hesitation just now became a firm decision at the same time.He raised his eyebrows and smiled, the smile was so gentle that Thranduy couldn't help but be stupefied: "If things are already like that, what do you expect from me?"
The hints behind the words are still half-veiled, but the negative expectations are already very clear.
Seeing Lucius' smile, Thranduil couldn't relax.
If the world wasn't in such a big environment, no matter how Lucius wanted to maintain his strength, he wouldn't encounter any obstacles from Thranduil.On the contrary, the Elf King only wanted to do his best at this time so that Lucius could get his wish.
But only the history of this world is the track that Thranduil himself cannot escape.The only thing he could do was to hold hands tightly and grab Lucius' shackles.
Tightening his arms, Thranduy looked at Lucius with a look that gradually changed from distress and helplessness to a seemingly calm and plain expression: "I have no way of knowing fate and your choice, but I know that I where will it be?"
The author has something to say: I am working very hard to maintain the circle of weekly updates~
