[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Thranduil only felt his heart that was still beating in his chest suddenly contracted, and the painful feeling tightly choked his breathing.

At this moment, in this situation, the only thing that can enter his consciousness is the figure in front of him with a gorgeous expression that seems to be burning to the extreme in a raging fire.

The suffocating erosion was like a flame spreading from under his feet, devouring all his thoughts.

Under the unprecedentedly gentle tone, it is the seal that pushes him to be frozen thousands of miles away.

Thranduy would rather see Lucius' furious expression than such a heart-wrenching weapon.

Thranduil stepped closer, and his subconscious reaction was to hope to pull him back into his arms.

But when it stopped in front of Lucius' eyes, Thranduy's movements to embrace him stopped.

Lucius didn't dodge, but his seemingly gentle eyes were full of guard.

Thranduil never doubted Lucius' ability to dodge his own movements.So he was more reluctant to see Lucius actively dodge away from him than to be fully on guard.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Seeing Thranduil's pause, Lucius spoke again, his eyes full of insight.

In an instant, Thranduil had many thoughts and thoughts in his mind.

But going around, the first thing that is clear is worry, worrying about Lucius' safety.

Knowing that Lucius had gone to Dol Guldur, Thranduil imagined many possibilities.But the present one wasn't among those possibilities: Lucius knew the prophecy, or possibly knew more.

Before that, all who knew about the prophecy gathered with him in Rivendell.

Therefore, it would not be anyone who appeared in Rivendell at the time that Lucius could learn this information at the same time.

Then there is only one possibility left.

It was Sauron who personally appeared in Dol Guldur, and in the process of resolving the confrontation with Lucius, his cat-and-mouse mentality let Lucius know the only truth that Thranduy had hidden from him.

But precisely because of this, insurance such as Rivendell is no longer a place where you can talk safely, let alone Changhu Town, which is almost exposed to everyone.

Sauron's hostility towards this world is unquestionable. He saw Lucius, but let Lucius retreat from that situation.

This not only means that Rivendell is no longer safe, but also implies that the enemies that Shengbai needs to face will be stronger than they expected.

Moreover, the appearance of Lucius in front of Thranduil will definitely make the latter want to understand all this.

Sauron would rather startle the enemy and face a more prepared enemy, but also let Lucius come back to question himself.

This further shows that there is a deeper intention hidden behind it.

Thranduil knew very well what kind of temptation the existence of Lucius would have on the Dark Lord.Such a key bargaining chip was not directly and firmly controlled by him, which only showed that Lucius' current reaction was actually the fact that Sauron liked to see.

Hidden behind Lucius' questioning is Sauron's covetousness for the truth of the prophecy.

All Lucius wanted now was his explanation, but Thranduil had only this, which he absolutely couldn't give.

Whether it was for the real purpose behind the prophecy or for Lucius' own safety, Thranduil could only choose to keep silent.

But what would Lucius think if he didn't say it?

As calm as Thranduil, at this moment there is only bitterness in his heart.

Thranduil's reaction froze, and Hardion behind him showed a face full of horror.

Had it not been for the fact that he had gone to that meeting and Saruman's sudden attack had happened, Hardion would not have had the chance to know this.

How did Lucius know, verbatim?

Even if he didn't know the inside story of Thranduil and Lucius' exchange on this topic, the current situation is enough for him to accurately understand Lucius' state of mind.

Looking at Lucius' bright smile again, even though he knew it wasn't aimed at him, Hadion froze completely in fright.

Lucius' eyes swept over Hardion's stiffness and Annis' shock, and the smile on his face became clearer again.

"Hadien followed you to know those things, but Annis really didn't know. It seems that you have kept almost all the elves from it." Lucius smiled, with a look on his face that seemed to be similar to Thranduil. There was a tacit understanding, "Of course, they really don't need to know."

"Tharanduil, don't you know how to deceive? But I don't mind giving you this opportunity to present a poor performance. Today I will give you this opportunity to explain, whether it is true or false, as long as you speak and explain, I believe you without doubt." Lucius' gaze finally focused on Thranduil's eyes, and the expression on his face also removed the gorgeous disguise, revealing the most genuine earnestness, even a barely perceptible prayer , "Whatever you say."

Thranduil pursed his lips tightly, but said nothing.

Lucius's series of questioning followed regardless, revealing the fragility and struggle he was willing to expose at the end: "Why did my ancestors leave this world in the first place? Why did I wake up at this time? The elven blood of the elves came back here? Who built that stone gate, why did you move it so hard to the current elf king's hall? Why did you tell me that you didn't know anything, but then told them it was you Destroyed the Shimen? Since you have personally cut off the way for me to go back, and you are sure that my family will never cross the two worlds, why did you test my mind again and again before, asking me what I want? Don't want to go back? What role do I play in your prophecy?"

No matter how many questions there were, none of the waves on Thranduy's face was disturbed, and all Lucius' expressions turned pale into the last soft whisper: "Your care, attention, and love for me are all for the sake of letting me Peace of mind to be a stepping stone to a bright future for this world?"

Thranduy's clenched fists were hidden deep in his drooping sleeve robe. The feeling of pricking his palms with his fingertips stimulated his nerves, and he choked back all his impulses to speak.

He fixed Lucius' eyes tightly, but he couldn't let himself show any look that might give away the real information.

If Sauron got the only information he didn't have yet, Lucius' safety would no longer exist.

If it wasn't for the news about the "family" that Lucius has always cared about most, he wouldn't let his almost hysterical questioning go.

And if Lucius hadn't personally asked, no one in this world would have learned from Thranduil the last details about the prophecy that even Elrond had never known.

If this was not the ultimate secret related to Lucius' safety, Thranduil would never let Lucius misunderstand him to the end.

Lucius' emotions were on the verge of collapse, but Thranduil knew how sensitive he was.

Maybe as long as Thranduil shows a little bit of helplessness, Lucius may get closer to the uncomplicated reality.

But only on this issue, he only hoped that Lucius would be a little more dull and misunderstood to the end.

"Hehe." Lucius sneered, and took the lead to pull away from the stare with Thranduy. The injury between his expressions can be clearly captured from the position of Hardion and Annis, " That's what you are, and that's your answer."

"You would rather let me be sober and hurt than cheat. This is really aboveboard."

"You are worthy of your own heart, but you are sorry for me."

"Tharanduil, your selfishness is truly hopeless!"

The cold words hit Thranduil's persistence one after another, almost breaking through his last defense.

However, Lucius turned a deaf ear to Thranduil's possible struggle, and instantly wrapped up his gaffe in layers and armed him, turning into that invulnerable appearance.

Since coming to this world, his trembling and defensiveness has always been the same as it is now, and he will not show even a second extra.

Only at this time, Thranduil would have the unrealistic delusion to expect himself to be omnipotent.

He never felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities he had taken on.

Except for the moment when Lucius passed him by with a face of indifference.

"Where are you going?" He reached out and grabbed Lucius' arm that wasn't completely away.

Only Hardion and Annis could see the powerlessness he had never seen on his face.

"Let go." Lucius didn't move at all, never turning his head.

The moment Thranduil hesitated for the last time, there was a rapidly approaching noise in the distance.

After just a moment of surprise, Lucius easily broke free from Thranduil's last fragile shackles, and faced Qi Lier and the elf guards who appeared for some reason at this time.

"Qi Lier, the guard of honor of His Majesty the Elf King is about to leave the Long Lake and return to the kingdom, take your people to help clean it up." Lucius ordered in a calm voice, "It will be finished soon."

"Well, okay. Then do you need to pack your luggage? Are you going to leave with His Majesty?" Qi Lier was oblivious to the subtle atmosphere in the bedroom, and asked without any psychological barriers.

Lucius chuckled, just like he did when he was in a good mood before: "You look at Long Lake."

"No problem." Qi Lier nodded, and was about to ask Lucius' back, "We need to send a guard to escort..."

But she hadn't finished asking for instructions, and another elf that shouldn't have appeared "in time" at this time also appeared immediately.

Also facing Lucius head-on, the hurried and slightly embarrassed Galian rushed over with the elf king's guards: "Lucius, I'm here, where is Your Majesty?"

"Qi Lier, hand over." Lucius finally put down these words, and his figure disappeared completely at the corner of the corridor of the Santo's Mansion.

"Why did you appear?" Hadien was the quickest to react from the shock, and asked Galian.

They went straight from Rivendell to Long Lake, sending no message to the kingdom at all.

"Lucius sent me a message with a spell, saying that His Majesty has arrived at Long Lake and is about to leave for the country, and asked me to bring someone to meet him." Gary was taken aback, only to realize that something was wrong, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, are you going?" Galian asked anxiously.

Thranduy looked back at the tapestry on Lucius's wall, and walked away.

Ha Dien frowned and followed, as if to stop: "Your Majesty."

But this time, Thranduil did not hesitate.

Galian, Cheryl, and Annis followed behind in a daze.

Lucius asked them to pack the luggage for the Elf King, but in fact there was nothing in Lucius' room.

"In the end..." Galian followed the Elf King out of the City Lord's Mansion, and saw the elf king's mount parked outside the door.

It was at this moment that there was a series of exclamations suddenly sounded from behind, and Thranduil suddenly turned around.

The city lord's mansion that was standing there was blurred for a while, but it disappeared in place within a few breaths.A lake suddenly appeared in this way, and the wind blew on the surface of the water, causing ripples to appear in the water mirror that reflected the surrounding sparks.
