[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

When Lucius opened his eyes, the light coming in from the window and the light blue that is unique to this early morning.Sitting up, □□ feet that stepped on the ground caressed lightly and relaxedly, and the fluffy fur that was unusually soft passed between the fingers.

The extravagant and tactile carpet is produced in Africa, the original magical world.

The comfortable big bed paved with soft velvet provides an extremely comfortable sleep, smoothing out all emotional turmoil.Lucius slept better than ever.He didn't wake up until Qi Lier's voice came through the magic from outside the tent.

"Lucius, are you awake? The Valley King and the Dwarf King invite you to discuss."

After simple camouflage, the tent belonging to Lucius was no different in appearance from those used by other elves.But with the protection of magic barriers, even if Qi Lier wanted to disturb her, she would be turned away.When Lucius finished his grooming and stepped out of the tent, what he saw was a curious female elf circling around his tent.

"Oh, you're out at last. I hope they didn't wait too long."

Lucius was about to ask the other party why he was anxious, but before that, he noticed a huge change in the camp around him.

At the camp by the long lake, the edge of the tent area could not be seen at a glance because of the confrontation of thousands of soldiers.But now, in the three-party camp that was originally clearly divided, it seemed that more than half of the elves had been dug away by someone, leaving only a small spot centered on where Lucius was.

Thranduil withdrew the elves.

Last night Lucius confronted Thranduil tit for tat, but in the end he still didn't get any statement from Thranduil.When Haden entered the Elf King's camp with a solemn and nervous face, Lucius left with a sense of humor.Rather than saying that Thranduy didn't make a statement, it's better to say that the result of this question is no longer important to Lucius.

"Caleb Ross reports to you." A slender male elf appeared beside him again.As soon as they turned the corner of the tent, the other party had already opened their mouths to salute Lucius.However, when his gaze finally fell on Lucius, the elf froze for a moment, as if hesitating for a moment before taking the following address, "Lord Lucius."

In fact, this is not to blame the other party's lack of respect.Lucius knew very well that the reason for the other party's hesitation was the same as the reason why Qi Lier had been looking at him since just now.

Lucius put back on his original black wizard robe, tied up his long platinum-blond hair with a headband, and held the former snake-headed cane in his hand.Except for the pointy elf ears that have not been adjusted, the current image of Lucius is quite different from the elves recognized by most Middle-earth creatures.If it wasn't for his unique face similar to Thranduil's on the mainland, the new male elf probably wouldn't be able to identify him at all.

"you are?"

"In Caleb Ross, leading the first team of the Second Legion. Received His Majesty's order to stay in Changhu Town." The male elf repeated his name and mission, calmly.Lucius caught a trace of hesitation in the opponent's eyes.

The elves will carry out the orders given by Thranduil meticulously, and they seldom hesitate.After thinking about it, Lucius understood why the other party was uncertain.

He was only ordered to stay in Changhu Town, but he was not ordered to obey Lucius' dispatch.This is not a command that can be defaulted. If it is missing, it is not there, and it is not ambiguous.In other words, Thranduy only let Caleb Ross stay in Long Lake Town, but he didn't explain who he listened to and what he would do.After interpreting such a message, Lucius obviously did not feel the support of the Elf King.

However, Qi Lier did not belong to Caleros's team but stayed, apparently not stopped by the Elf King.The Second Legion that Caleb Roth was subordinate to was originally the one that Annis was in charge of commanding and dispatching among the four elf legions of Thranduil.This means that the elves who once defended River Valley City under the command of Lucius and broke out in the patrolling collection team all came from this legion.

It's not hard to imagine that Lucius' highest reputation in the army is in front of this legion.Then, when Caleb Ross found himself at a loss, it became inevitable to accept Lucius' instructions.

Contradictory orders, unpredictable attitude.Unpredictable is talking about Thranduil.

Lucius put this unsolvable question to the back of his mind, and nodded slightly to Caleros: "Then you will go with me to meet the King of the Valley and the King of the Dwarves."

Thranduil left in a huff when the negotiations had a major breakthrough, and the elves marched back home at night.Such a signal made Bud very disturbed.When he got up early in the morning and learned that only Lucius had not left among the high-level elves, he urged the servants to come and invite him.

Thorin was already with Bard when Lucius appeared.And judging from the faces of the two, it seems that the conversation that happened just now was not pleasant.

"Lucius, you..." Bud couldn't wait to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Lucius' raised hand.

Kiriel got the order from Lucius, walked to Sorin's side, and opened the scroll in her hand vertically with the content page facing the other side, showing the contents.

"This is what I promised you, do you have any doubts?" Lucius asked calmly.

The three on the dwarf side quickly focused and read through the scroll.Sorin's expression gradually softened because of the thing in front of him, and he finally nodded after confirming that Lucius' signature had been placed at the end of the scroll.However, when he reached out to take the scroll, Qi Lier took a quicker step back and returned to Lucius.

Sorin's face was full of anger: "What do you mean!"

"This is what I promised you, and I will give it to you naturally, but the premise is that our cooperation is established as we agreed." Lucius' eyes signaled Qi Lier to switch to another contract, "This is about the three-party joint construction Changhu Town, and I will be the mayor of the contract. I have listed some detailed terms, please read them carefully. If you have any questions, you can raise them now."

"What is profit sharing?" Bud looked at it seriously, and soon discovered the unfamiliar words in it, "Shares?"

"Profit sharing refers to the future income minus the cost of maintaining the operation of Changhu Town, which is the real income, and will be distributed according to the shareholding of each party." Lucius said patiently, "As for the shares To put it simply, it is to divide the income that Changhu Town will receive into ten equal shares, and we will agree on the proportion that everyone can get in the future before everything starts."

"Humans, elves, and dwarves each get three shares, and you own one share, which is the part that the elves get the most. I disagree!" Thorin immediately raised his voice, "There is no reason for this!"

"Elves are elves, and I am me." Lucius paused slightly when he said this, and unsurprisingly received the shocked expressions of the other two parties, "There are very good reasons for me to get this benefit, mainly because Two. First, you can’t find any other mayor candidate that can be agreed by the three parties. Second, it’s unknown whether the mayor other than me can maintain the operation of Changhu Town, let alone make a profit Assigned to you, this is called ability cost. If I can't get any benefits for myself, why should I agree to this job?" The wizard glanced at Thorin, "Or the dwarf king prefers to be like the previous Changhu Town. Agents who look the same?"

"It is indeed reasonable." Bud nodded quickly, "So in the end, what is this cost sharing?"

"The three parties get the same benefits, and of course they have to pay the same price. For example, the elves left two hundred elves to stay in Long Lake Town and participate in the construction, which is the first cost paid by His Majesty Thranduil. As for The cost of the River Valley King is the ownership of the area of ​​Changhu Town and the resident humans..." Lucius looked at Bard and asked about the number of humans.

"About a hundred."

Lucius nodded and looked at Thorin: "Yes, less than one hundred. Although the number is not equal to that of the elves, Bard also added the investment of real estate, which I think is equivalent. Then the dwarves If the number of people is less than elves and humans, the insufficient part can be offset by other things, such as metal, money..."

"I will keep two hundred dwarves." When mentioning money, Thorin's attitude suddenly became firm.

"Then, the cost of the three parties will be shared equally now. What I need to remind everyone is that the cost paid now, that is, this group of people, will belong to the assets of Changhu Town in the future, that is to say, they belong to Changhu Town. The people in the town have disappeared. They can be exchanged, but they cannot be reduced. The construction tasks and guards of Changhu Town are all undertaken by them. As for those who voluntarily came to live in Changhu Town in the later stage, and worked hard in the same position in exchange for remuneration Any living beings cannot be considered as additional costs for you. In the future, if Changhu Town needs any assistance in materials and materials, I will divide it into three equal parts and deliver the list to you."

The world's economy is really not developed, so Lucius didn't pay much attention to the contract.The crude clauses everywhere are extremely convincing to Bard and Thorin.Share interpretation sounds like an important means of maintaining fairness.However, how much profit is available for distribution depends on the accounting books that Lucius will present to the leaders of the three parties in the future.But what kind of figure will the ledger end up with?Could the "one" in Lucius be a quantity that abides by its duty?The answers to these two questions are only known to him.

Having successfully resolved the issue of the contract, Sorin hurried to the south immediately.Bud didn't stay long either. After bringing all the humans who voluntarily stayed in Changhu Town to know Lucius, he returned to River Valley City accompanied by many human caravan envoys from Rohan.As for the onlookers, such as Baird and Lawrence, who had no intention of heading towards the Lonely Mountain, they also dispersed after Bud left.Changhu Town seemed particularly deserted after the extreme hustle and bustle.

After sending the outsiders away, Lucius turned around and circled the area of ​​the city on the map, handing it over to some elves and dwarves to undertake the work of land measurement, and then dispatched most of the remaining labor force to restore the former planting of Changhu Town Industry.After completing the scheduling work in one day, Lucius was in a happy mood when he lay down on the bed.

The stall in Changhu Town has already started, and the rest is basically a matter of time.Everything seems to be in order and smooth sailing.If there was no sound that suddenly exploded after a long period of silence in his head, Lucius' happy mood would probably last for a while longer.

"Do you think that if you leave the territory of the elves, nothing will happen?"
