[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves
Chapter 32
With a flexible turn, the caudal fin of the Platinum Guppy floats in the water.The little fish twisted its body, and a light golden stream of light slid from the head to the tail, like a golden dye in the water.
The two guppies were the same size, close to the size of Lucius' fist. Compared with the guppies he had known before, these two fish were obviously much larger.One is bright golden, the other is light golden and almost white. The two fish are swimming actively in the well-arranged fish tank.
Lucius used the floating spell to throw the small bugs from the planting area into the fish tank, silently feeling sorry for the Elf King.
The male and female bodies of many fishes are different in size.These two equally fat guppies obviously wouldn't add more "fish mouths" to Thranduil's study.
The two fish were at least a circle fatter than when they were caught by Annis, obviously they had been well fed all the time.It is said that Hadien now asks for a bag of fish food every day before he changes his guard.
It's a pity that life is a bit short.
After Lucius finished feeding the fish, the small cloth bag that wrapped the feed disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Thranduil, who got up early and went to the observation deck on the top floor of the hall, walked into the study with a stack of letters.
Lucius bowed to the Elf King who entered the door, and stood on the "post" where he stayed the most in the past, without taking the initiative to speak.
When Thranduil passed by him, he paused, and probably glanced at Lucius.
"I met Silvana just now." After walking by, Thranduil did not raise his head from his letter when he spoke.He paused for a moment, and then a light question leaked out from the gap in the paper. It seemed that the Elf King asked casually, "Are you going to participate in this patrol collection?"
"Yes." Lucius responded simply, until he noticed that the Elf King raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes turned to himself standing in front of him.
"Sylvana invited me to participate in the previous dinner party. I agreed." Lucius and Thranduy's eyes were separated as soon as they met, and he lowered his head slightly and added, "I also hope to have More opportunities to get along with different clansmen."
It was very sparse and ordinary to answer, and Lucius made his attitude just right with respect and precision.
There is nothing wrong with the extremely high-sounding reason.But Thranduil did not give affirmation.
In the silence of the study, Lucius raised his head naturally, and looked in the direction of the Elf King again, noticing that the frowning latter quickly eased his brows.
The Elven King, who was leaning on his seat, raised his head after feeling Lucius' gaze, and the letter opener in his right hand turned into a blade at his fingertips. Thranduil turned his head obliquely backwards, pointing The transparent fish tank not far away mentioned a topic that had nothing to do with the conversation just now: "You asked Hadion to put this here?"
Probably no creature could stay long in the Elven King's study without Thranduil's consent.Obviously, the survival of the Platinum Guppy is in line with Thranduil's aesthetic requirements.
To understand this, Lucius didn't bother to guess the purpose of the other party, and blurted out a direct compliment that would not cause disgust: "Of course such beautiful creatures are only suitable for them to live in your study." Lucius Smiling slightly, "I hope you like this little gift."
His scrutinizing eyes fell on Lucius and walked around: "I thought it was food prepared by Annis for you."
"Then I hope these two little pets can clarify your 'misunderstanding' about me." Lucius replied quickly, showing a harmless smile.
The Elf King raised his gaze that had fallen back on the letter just now, and responded with a smile from his nose when Lucius' words clearly reversed the real primary and secondary purposes, then changed the topic and brought back the original matter : "Oh, misunderstood? So, are you sure you know the nature of the gathering activity you want to participate in, Lucius?"
nature?
This question made the calm Lucius frown for a moment.
Back at the banquet that night, Lucius rejoined the jubilant elves.
The return of the army means that peace has returned to the country, and although the shadow of the South remains, it cannot prevent a period of relative peace.
Peace and tranquility doesn't mean quiet for Woodland Kingdom.
In fact, Silvan elves have a wealth of group activities and arrangements.While they are doing their jobs seriously, they are also very good at enjoying the happy time in the forest.Throwing a banquet is just one of the most basic activities.
During the period when the elf army left, some of the routine activities had actually been affected.Then, the delayed activities should of course be completed as soon as possible after all the clansmen return.After all, time will not wait for an immortal elf.
In Lucius' high-frequency contact with other elves, he quickly realized this.At the same time, he also received many invitations.
Silvan elves have many advantages that are in line with Lucius' previous guesses about elves, but there are also some differences.
At least in terms of various activities, Lucius, a social lover, has to admire these rich arrangements of the elves.
The popularity gained in the war was enough for Lucius to squander for a while without worrying that he would be rejected by the elves.Originally, Lucius did not intend to devote too much time to the public affairs of the Woodland Kingdom.But he didn't follow his first instinct.
All the feelings that happen on the hillside are like a flash in the pan.From the next day, everything returned to the original track and relationship.And the Elf King's attitude was just as Lucius had guessed, after the effect of alcohol, he returned to his original arrogance and indifference.
It seemed that nothing had changed because of that night, but Lucius, who had made up his mind, felt that the distance between him and Thranduil that had shortened unconsciously had widened again.
Lucius, who regained his rhythm from this sense of distance, quickly determined a new plan.
Perhaps it was because Thranduil was too lonely, or maybe it was because of his consistent desire for control. Lucius didn't think that he would be approved to leave the position of valet if he voluntarily asked to leave, so he could only take things slowly.One of the ways is to use the requests of other elves to influence Lucius' daily life.So he sifts through the invitations he receives.
"I originally thought of looking for some plants in the forest to make your potion. It just so happens that Silvana will follow the patrol to conduct a long-distance collection, and she is also familiar with the distribution of plants in the forest."
Lucius thought for a while, but couldn't grasp the meaning of the question.
As for the event, Silvana only mentioned that it was part of the spring ceremony for the kingdom. There were many elves there, and the patrol team dispatched four small teams to protect it.The trail of the whole party will reach as far as the edge of the woodland kingdom, beside a road known as the old forest road.The entire process of patrolling and collecting will last for ten days, and on the last day, they will arrive at the upper reaches of the Jungle River and go down the river in an elf boat.
Now that it is safe and there is enough time to leave, Lucius still has ample opportunity to learn about the world outside the Woodland Kingdom, so participating in this team's activities has become the best decision at the moment.
"From this point of view, it is indeed reasonable." Thranduy threw all the letters he had read into the wooden box next to his seat, and stood up.The cloak that was casually draped over his shoulders slipped off because of his action, "But after ten days away, how are you going to prepare for your job?"
Lucius glanced at the cloak that had slipped off at this moment, wondering if it was the Elf King's intention to express something.It's just that Thranduil's unhappiness was expected, and Lucius was not ready to give up just like that: "His Royal Highness Legolas once said that you never had a close servant before."
"Yes, there was not, but not now." Slowly walking down the three steps, Thranduil approached, "It is gratifying that I am very satisfied with your current performance. This will largely Be a reference for me to continue using a valet."
"Perhaps you can also consider other candidates. Many elves have expressed their envy for my work." Seeing Thranduil walk in, Lucius looked straight ahead, his gaze fell on Thranduil's collar pin, his tone Take advantage of the situation neither humble nor overbearing to put forward another suggestion that is closer to your goal.
"Why should I listen to your advice?" Standing in front of Lucius to the right, Thranduy snorted coldly, his voice tinged with danger from the sudden increase in displeasure, "Are you expressing your disapproval?" Are you dissatisfied with this job, Lucius?" After a pause, the Elf King continued, "Or are you targeting my arrangement?"
"That must be a misunderstanding, Your Majesty. In this kingdom, we will follow all your instructions wholeheartedly." Facing the elf king who suddenly became serious, Lucius quickly denied the other party's guess.
"Oh, is that so?" Thranduil suddenly withdrew his aura, "Then, I wish you a good time, my..." The Elf King leaned forward, and quickly approached Lucius' right ear, only to be extremely ambiguous He followed up with a soft voice like a whisper, "Clan people."
Thranduil's temper was really unpredictable. One moment he seemed about to throw a tantrum, and the next second he suddenly appeared approachable.If you try to explore and grasp it, your attention will fall into this vortex of uncertainty.And the more sensitive a person is, the easier it is to be guided.
Lucius directly ignored the subtlety of Thranduil's last sentence with unclear purpose, and he was determined not to let himself make the same mistakes again.
Now that Thranduy had agreed, Lucius naturally decided to follow the Elven King's decision wholeheartedly as he said.
Lucius, who arrived at the assembly point at the appointed time, quickly saw the members of the patrol this time.He also saw Annis who seemed to be coming uninvited, as if to follow the patrol.
However, Silvana, the leader of this team, did not arrive until half an hour later.
And it wasn't until he saw Silvana that Lucius realized that he seemed to be too sensitive and missed the point of the Elf King's words.
"Come on, everyone, don't make noise, stand up according to the group we have divided in advance." Even in the background of chirping, Silvana's voice did not lose her usual gentleness.Although the volume is not loud, this simple sentence is extraordinarily effective because of the owner of the voice.
I saw that the elves who were still noisy suddenly quieted down, and slowly but not messily began to adjust a simple formation from the chaos.
Looking at the immature faces in front of him, Lucius suddenly felt his scalp go numb.
He suddenly remembered Silvana's main job, the director of elf education.
Thranduil's last chuckle suddenly echoed in his ears.
What the Elf King said at the time was, "play" well.
