The flames are leaping, and the scorched branches are beeping from time to time.

Annis sat by the campfire, holding a thick bark-stripped branch with a chicken on a stick at the top.

roast chicken.

Looking up, there happened to be a giant spider crawling towards the south not far away, but it turned a blind eye to the extremely conspicuous flames in the dark forest.

Although this situation has happened countless times in the past seven days, Annis can't help but be in a daze.

Seven days ago, when Lucius left Long Lake Town, Annis followed out of subconscious judgment.He didn't even realize at the time what Lucius' departure meant.And when he gradually came to his senses, he had already made various promises such as secrecy, loyalty, and following, and he could not get off the pirate ship.

Annis pursed her lips, full of bitterness.

Dear Silvana, if I say I want to come back to you now, what do you think is the probability that Lucius can let me go back alive?

"What are you thinking?" Annis was still in a daze, and a figure in a black robe came out of the mini tent beside him, "The food is going to be burnt."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Annis immediately moved the roast chicken away from the flames in embarrassment, and put it familiarly into the wooden bowl beside him to check whether it was ready to eat.

After confirming that there was no problem, Annis sprinkled some seasoning on the roast chicken, took half of it, and handed it to Lucius.

"In the past few days, your barbecue skills have obviously improved." Lucius finally felt that it was a wise choice for him to agree to abduct Annis.Although having an elf who was absolutely loyal to Thranduil by his side would cause various hidden dangers, at least in this way, he no longer had to worry about food.

"Has your investigation made any progress?" Annis glanced at the half-opened curtain of the tent and asked curiously.

"Almost." Although Annis's cooking skills have reached the passing line, his works are still far from "delicious".

Whether it was the letter he left for Cheryl or the information he told Annis before, Lucius only said that he was going to Rohan.But in fact, he took Annis and walked the route that the former patrolling collection team had traveled.After crossing the Mirk Forest Mountain Range, follow the direction of the old forest road and take the road to the west.

Naturally, there are reasons for such a route choice.It's just that Annis didn't ask, and Lucius didn't explain.

"Lucius."

"Ok?"

Annis poked the bonfire in front of him with a branch to make the firewood burn more fully: "I've been wanting to ask you these days, Your Majesty, does he not know about your leaving?"

"Why do you ask that?" Lucius smiled as he looked at the elf who had the courage to ask the question.

"Although you said that His Majesty knew about it, I found that when we encountered patrols along the way, we would avoid them." Annis deduced carefully, and then asked the question he cared most about, "Why did you hide it?" What about Your Majesty?"

"Do all elves have to report to His Majesty when they leave the kingdom?" Lucius asked rhetorically.

Annis frowned and shook his head: "That's not true. As long as His Majesty did not order the border to be sealed off, the elves leave at their own discretion. We will tell our parents, elders and neighbors, but we will not specifically report to His Majesty .After all, not all elves can see His Majesty at any time."

"Since there is no obligation to disclose, then the concealment you said is not valid?" Lucius put down what he had eaten, took out a towel and wiped his mouth, "I'm just like most elves, I didn't do it on purpose. Please see His Majesty for a report."

"But Your Majesty is yours..."

"What's mine?" Lucius raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"Elder?" Annis said by herself, her tone becoming uncertain, "You are often by His Majesty's side, and His Majesty also cares about you."

"It's just too much concern, which will make me at a loss." Lucius's mind flashed the picture he saw from Anis, and he frowned, "I've never been used to this kind of concern."

"I seem to understand a little bit what you said." Annis sighed, feeling a little lost.

"How to say?"

"Because Silvana is the same, always caring about me." Annis recalled her tone full of melancholy, "Every time I went to find her, she always cared about what happened around me, if I If there is any trouble, she will be very patient and help me make suggestions."

"It doesn't sound like a bad thing?" Lucius was a little depressed, and turned his head to look at Annis who was sitting next to him, "Isn't this what you want?"

"That's true, that's right, and I'm happy to let her know everything about me. But after a long time, I always feel that something is wrong," Annis clenched her fists tightly, and then released them weakly, full of It was frustration, "She cared about me all the time, but never needed me. Like, like, I'm just a normal student of hers, it's no different."

"So you want her to care about you like she cares about her partner, not like she does now?" Lucius drew a conclusion for the other party.

"Yes." Annis was very helpless, "I have tried a lot, but nothing worked."

"No wonder you haven't been able to get engaged yet." Lucius nodded knowingly, and verbally encouraged the frustrated elf youth, "Come on!"

"Ah! Didn't you have a lot of lovers?" Seeing Lucius's nonchalant attitude, Annis suddenly remembered the past, and his eyes lit up, "Can you teach me anything?"

"A solution?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, "Then let me ask you first, is Silvana's fighting ability stronger than yours?"

"That's natural!" Annis nodded without hesitation, her tone was as proud as talking about herself, "She taught all the elves' martial arts, and she was also the commander of the army before, and participated in big battles That’s why I’ve been working hard, with the goal of becoming an excellent commander. It’s just that she later became the professor of the elves, and gradually stopped participating in battles.”

"Well, then there's no other way." Lucius shrugged.

"Ah? Why is there no other way?" Annist suddenly wept.

"There are three reasons why women care about a man and treat him as someone who needs her protection. First, she is older than you. Second, she is stronger than you. This strength includes not only combat ability, but also knowledge and skills. The third is that she knows you well enough." Every time Lucius said something, Annis' expression became darker.By the end, Annes looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Regarding this, Lucius could only look at Annis sympathetically: "Sylvana's words to you, do these three things fit?"

The wizard's temporary cook was overwhelmed, and silently began to pack up the used tableware and food debris, so gloomy that he couldn't see the clouds.

Lucius couldn't help it either.As far as he is concerned, he would never choose a woman who meets such conditions to try.

While Lucius was feeling sorry for Annis, another question suddenly occurred to him: "But speaking of it, you haven't gotten married because of Silvana, won't your parents worry about you?"

"What are you worried about?" Annis replied with a listless tone.

"Such as...you can't get what you want, and you die of grief?" When Lucius mentioned this description, he couldn't help frowning, his face a little unnatural, "Don't most elves get married when they are adults?"

"That's what you said, but how could it be so easy to die of grief?" Annis laughed out loud when he heard this, "Who did you hear that from?"

Lucius' face turned dark immediately.

"First of all, elves will hardly choose another elf easily. We are all rational enough not to be blinded by momentary emotions. Although this choice does not have practical meaning like engagement and marriage, it is true for elves. Said, making a decision is also a very cautious thing. Just like I chose Silvana. Although I also know that there is a big gap between myself and Silvana, I can distinguish my feelings for her from any other Women are different. But even after being selected, it is not only success or death.” Annis shook his head, “Time can change many things. When we understand that the person we choose cannot give us a response The elves are also sensible enough to stop and change their choices. Only when they clearly know that it is impossible, but are so stubborn that they refuse to give up, can the situation you mentioned happen. Even more, it is only because of sadness And terribly weak. Time heals most wounds, too."

Annis said a lot in a straightforward manner, but he didn't wait for Lucius' response for a long time, so he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked in Lucius' direction.At this time, the wizard was lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Where are we going next?" Seeing that Lucius seemed to be absent-minded, Annis decisively changed the subject, "If we go west for another day, we should be able to reach the old ferry. Now we really want to go Is it Rohan?"

Hearing this question, Lucius raised his eyebrows at Annis, noncommittal.

"Go back to your room early to rest after packing up, we have to hurry tomorrow." Lucius flicked his cloak and stood up.

"The old ferry is not far away, so we don't have to worry too much." Annis asked back in surprise, "Don't we cross the river from there?"

"No," Lucius shook his head resolutely, "Let's go back to Long Lake next."

The author has something to say: Note: Regarding the customs of marriage and love among elves, Yuanyuan’s setting mainly refers to the easily searchable translated post “Customs and Social Rules of Eldar Eldar”.However, some revisions have been made for the sake of writing.Because if you strictly follow Tuo Lao's settings, there is no possibility that Lucius and the king really have a dime.As for the part not covered in this translation post, I didn’t find any more supplementary materials, so I will develop it on my own, hereby declare!

I finally made up all the debts, and I was so relieved!

Thank you babies for throwing mines to Yuanyuan, okay!
