[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Thranduil seemed sensitive to Lucius' mood swings.Seeing Lucius' reaction, the Elf King blurted out not asking him if he was uncomfortable, but: "Are you expressing your disapproval with this action? Why?"

"I think the human being you traded with has probably been fattened up by you..."

"Fat?" This word is likely to belong to the negative vocabulary of the Elf King, so that he paused before asking, "What do you want to express?"

"Based on my shallow understanding, it seems more appropriate for our kingdom to produce wine itself. Does Changhu Town produce its own grapes?" Because it involves his best field, Lucius does not intend to skip this. topic.He felt that he needed to find an opportunity to show that he had other values ​​besides being a valet.Of course, there is also a good impression of the Elf King in it.After all, if it was someone else whom Lucius didn't care about, there was no need for him to open his mouth to worry about him.

"Just like its name, Long Lake Town is completely located on the water. They even lack the vegetables necessary for life, not to mention the grapes that can be counted as luxury." Thranduil raised the tip of his nose slightly, replacing the usual A frown when impatient.

"Then if the source of their grapes comes from our kingdom, as I guessed, why can't we make wine by ourselves? This will probably save a lot of cost." Lucius answered the expected answer smoothly. the following words.

"It's a very good idea. The winemaking technology is indeed not complicated. Although many times, our decisions are not entirely based on interests. This transaction between us and humans has lasted for more than 60 years. If you don't mention it, I will forget it." What was the reason for doing this in the first place? I lost the protection of the dwarf king, and I didn’t even have the ability to produce the necessary vegetables and fruits by myself. I would rather get a batch of cheap labor than receiving their regular help. However, "Ser There was a gleam of admiration in Landuy's shining eyes, and he said the following words, "It sounds like you are very good at business."

Lucius didn't have any concept of the human group in Changhu Town, so he naturally didn't think that there would be such a deep meaning in the transaction of buying wine.

Of course, this may also be because the image that the Elf King has given him so far does not have the element of charity.

As for running...

Lucius nodded subconsciously, then shook his head again: "I used to be considered good at it, but I don't know what the situation in this world is like."

Thranduy gave Lucius a determined look, then turned his head again, looking at the elves directly in front of him: "Then I can show you there."

Lucius clearly captured the subtle ambiguity of this moment and was stunned.

"It would be valuable if we could cultivate a professional butler." Thranduil, who was looking ahead, added, "However, given that Galian's current performance is quite satisfactory, your There is no need to worry about this direction of development.”

The banquet continued unaffected, but the ambiguous flame that rose just now would not disappear because of the silence between the two of them.Based on the previous summary, Lucius was unable to determine whether Thranduil's words contained some hints that he had comprehended.

After all, in Lucius' 50 years of "short-lived" experience, such performances as the Elf King can be understood as explicit for Lucius, who is well versed in this.

But Thranduil likes Lucius?

This sentence was something Lucius couldn't pinpoint.

Counting from the day Lucius came to the Woodland Kingdom to the present, it has only been more than half a month.

Would the Elf King with more than 3000 years of accumulation be so easily tempted?

According to Chaoli's deduction, Thranduy can't be classified as innocent, right?

If it is assumed that this is the general situation of the elves, taking Legolas' feelings for Tauriel as an example cannot support this premise.

Furthermore, such an outstanding elf king has been celibate all the time, doesn't he have a lover?

And what about Legolas' mother?

Also, Thranduil really felt that he was similar in appearance to Lucius, right?If Thranduil's liking is certain, wouldn't this feeling be some kind of symbol of the elf king's narcissism?

If Lucius is sure that he will return to the wizarding world in his current form, he will definitely be sought after by the entire upper class circle.But does this work for the Elven King too?

What the heck...

Lucius' unusual silence caused Thranduid to look at him a few times.

And just as Lucius was thinking hard while bathing in Thranduil's gaze, the noise made up of conversations was instantly stopped by a high-pitched voice.

"The dwarf has escaped!"

Not far away, Legolas and Tauriel almost jumped up and headed straight for the dungeon.

******

The elves stayed up all night at the Starlight Feast, and when the dwarves fled, the sky was already white.Thinking about it this way, it's not incomprehensible that the elf steward, Galian, caused the prisoner to escape because he was drunk.

But Thranduy was obviously not that sympathetic to his subordinates.This can be seen from the fact that he immediately left the banquet with a dark face.

Because of being asked to follow, before the latest feedback on the prisoner's escape came, Lucius had to bear the pressure of the Elf King's indiscriminate release.This also made the chaotic emotions that occupied his brain just now disappear completely.

Fortunately, not long after, the guards rushed back to report that the elf prince had captured a prisoner.

Lucius originally thought that this incident was just a simple conflict between dwarves and elves, but after seeing the captive who was so ugly that he could hardly recognize his facial features, he suddenly understood more deeply Thranduil's choice to himself half a day ago. A wise and safe explanation.

"This is the essence of evil. Under the eyes of everyone, it is pervasive and invading in the open wilderness, and the shadows grow in the darkness. The evil surges without sleep, just like the night that hits the face." Bypass and hold The captive elf prince, Thranduil's words were somewhat inexplicable, but the voice was long and drawn out.His footsteps were unhurried, and during a brief pause, he looked at Tao Ruier, "It has been like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future. Soon, all the ugliness will be revealed to the world."

Thranduil, who folded his arms, was facing Tauriel, but his eyes were fixed on the orc captive.

The passage just now is probably a rare explanation that can be heard from the mouth of the Elf King.

However, Lucius looked at Tauriel, who was not paying attention here at all. It is estimated that Thranduil's focus was not caught by the captain of the guard in the end.

"Why did you hunt down those 13 dwarves?" Legolas asked coldly with his dagger pressed against the orc's throat.

"Not 13, not anymore. The young black-haired archer was shot with a deadly crossbow, so poisonous, he will die soon." The half-orc's voice was hoarse, and the answer was not the point, but Lai Golas and Taurier's faces changed almost at the same time.

"Answer the question, rubbish." Tauriel's voice concealed a trace of worry that was not obvious.

Since no one could see him, Lucius couldn't help but roll his eyes.Young brunette archer?Why is there another protagonist in the child's love problem that the Elf King has to deal with?

"I don't talk to my servants, female elf!" The half-orc suddenly struggled violently, and the pride just now became inexplicably agitated.

Tao Ruier pulled out his dagger almost instantly, and hostility rushed to his face.

"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to fight her like this." Legolas held down the prisoner and knocked him once.

"You like to kill, orc?" Tauriel became even angrier. "You like to die? Then I'll let you die!"

"Enough!" Thranduil raised his voice to barely stop the orc's imminent death.For unknown reasons, the expression on Thranduil's face was also extremely tense, "Tauriel, get down, now."

"I don't care which dwarf is going to die, answer the question." Tauriel would probably not agree with Thranduil's words, but this may also be the reason why Thranduil dismissed her, "Don't be afraid, tell Let’s be honest, I’ll let you go. Someone ordered you to hunt them down, why?”

"What does Thorin Oakenshield have against you?" The name that popped out of Legolas' mouth should be the name of the dwarf who clashed with Thranduil yesterday.

"That dwarf cannot be made king."

"King?" cried Legolas. "There will be no king in the city below the hill, nor will there ever be. No one dares to enter Erebor. There are dragons entrenched there."

Dragon?Live?

Lucius raised his eyebrows, and the main ingredients to detoxify the Dragon Flame Fire Poison were available.

"You don't understand anything, your world will become a purgatory." The half-orc smiled complacently, and his attitude was very arrogant.

"What do you mean, tell me!" Legolas was not as calm as the Elf King, and was immediately annoyed by the orc's tone.

"Our time will come again, and my Lord will serve the Lord. Do you understand now, elf? Your time is coming. The flames of war will burn all life."

Without warning, the sword light flashed, and Thranduil suddenly cut off the orc's head with a sword.

As a result of the sudden loss of resistance, Legolas lifted the severed head up like a bucket.

The completely unexpected situation made Legolas' face full of shock and anger: "Why did you kill him, you promised to set him free."

"That's exactly what I did," Thranduil said without showing any emotion, turned around and stepped on the twitching half of the orc's body.

There was a moment of anger and hatred in his eyes.However, when Thranduy raised his head to look at his son again, all that emotion was withdrawn, "I set his polluted head free from that miserable shoulder."

"It can tell us more information." Legolas shook his head in disapproval.

"It has nothing to tell us," Thranduil categorically denied Legolas' doubts, turned back and returned the saber to its scabbard, and walked directly off the high platform.This time, he didn't signal Lucius to follow.

"Then what does it mean by the flames of war?" Legolas demanded.

"They are going to unleash the most terrifying weapons, under which, no creature will be spared." Thranduil stopped on the bridge, turned around and continued, "Strengthen all border patrols and monitor the people in the kingdom." Every road, every river. Do not move without my order. Let no one come in again, and let no one go out."

Lucius's invisibility was basically concealed from all the clansmen except the elf king and his son and a few other guards who had stayed by Thranduil's side for a long time.Therefore, when Tauriel was around, Lucius was often in a hidden state.

Now that Tauriel was not there, Thranduil hurried away again, and there was no need for Lucius to continue to consume his magic power and show his figure.

Legolas stopped in place and stared at the half-orc's corpse, obviously still angry: "Don't you think it's inappropriate for him to backtrack like this?" Legolas subconsciously yelled angrily when he saw Lucius appearing .

Facing the question, Lucius hesitated.

His first answer would probably disappoint the elf prince, because to some extent, Lucius and the elf king, who are "young elves", both think about problems from a result-oriented perspective.

However, Lucius would rather Legolas regard himself as a companion than an elder like the Elf King.

Therefore, Lucius chose——

"I'm curious, what is this creature?" Changed the subject.

This trick might not work against the seasoned Thranduil, but Lucius' strategy obviously worked when he met the young and energetic Legolas.

"As we said just now, this is a half-orc." Before the complaint between eyebrows dissipated, Legolas' timely answer came out.

"I know, but what I mean is, what kind of existence are half-orcs?" Lucius spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, "You know, I know almost nothing about Middle-earth. And Given that we are likely to maintain a hostile relationship with such creatures in the future, I think it is necessary for me to learn some basic knowledge in advance."

"Oh, this." Legolas understood immediately.Facing Lucius' sincere eyes seeking knowledge, the young man's desire for performance quickly gained the upper hand in Legolas' consciousness.Waving to Lucius, the elf prince knelt down, ready to give his "students" a vivid example explanation lesson.
