[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Chapter 135

The elf who returned to Rivendell to deliver the message brought Elrond's message.The welcoming team from Rivendell brought a Legolas who came out early to greet him.

From a distance, Lucius saw the blond elf with a happy face, riding a horse ahead of two neat cavalcades.

Legolas is obviously a free note cruising among the elf cavalry, very eye-catching, but also a little bit discordant.

When the whole team finally approached, Legolas first met Lucius' eyes.The shining eyes showed his joyful mood.Immediately afterwards, he and his father met eyes.It was at this moment that the elf prince's unbridled joy seemed to be suddenly clenched in a fist, and he withdrew embarrassingly.

Seeing this, Lucius turned his head to look at Thranduil's face, and sure enough, he saw a serious expression.

The two teams that met head-on merged together in a quiet and orderly manner.After paying respects to Elrond, Legolas came to Thranduil and Lucius.

The scene where the Elf King father and son meet is calm and reserved.Thranduil saluted and nodded.Legolas and his father met eyes, hesitated to speak, but finally looked away, and walked silently to Lucius' side.

Judging from this scene alone, the relationship between the father and son seems to be extremely bad.

But regardless of the fact that Legolas, who was half a step behind his father, still frequently raised his head and looked forward after he was in position, Lucius at least knew that Thranduil had just learned of Legolas's arrival in Rivendell. At that time, it was not in such a serious and tense state.

Nearly two years had passed since Legolas left the Five Armies field.The length of this period of time is naturally not too long for elves.But for this father and son, maybe they can already bring an adjective called vicissitudes.

Legolas never left the Woodland Kingdom independently, and walked on the continent purely for travel.

The two years he has experienced in the human world like this have obviously accumulated rich feelings for him.He obviously wanted to confide all the emotions in his heart to the father he admired, but he was afraid of the embarrassing confrontation that had not really been resolved.

Seeing Legolas almost scratching his head, the corners of Lucius' mouth turned up.This reminded him involuntarily of Draco returning to Malfoy Manor from Hogwarts for the first time.However, Lucius couldn't remember his reaction at that time.

But this did not prevent Lucius from providing a little help to the anxious elf prince in front of him.

"Legolas, why are you here?" The wizard walked beside the elf prince, his gaze softly falling on the back of the other's head facing him, and he spoke in a relaxed tone.

The pleasant voice drew Legolas' attention back.He turned around and easily smiled sincerely at Lucius: "Lucius! I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Obviously, you have experienced a lot." Lucius looked at Legolas's temperament that has undergone obvious changes with a little appreciation, and sent affirmation, "If you think about it, there will be many wonderful stories."

"That's definitely a story you can't guess." The elf prince raised his voice and responded, "The human world is even more exciting than I expected."

"I'm not surprised by this." Lucius nodded, "Did you receive any messages from me later?"

"No!" Legolas shook his head and asked, "Do you still send me another letter?"

"It seems that we just missed the distance we traveled." Lucius waved his hand, signaling Legolas not to care about the message.

"By the way, I heard that you... went to Rohan with His Majesty?" Legolas suddenly got stuck in the middle of speaking, changed his words temporarily, and lowered his volume.

"The reason for the matter is a bit complicated, but roughly you are right." Lucius snorted lightly and sighed at the picture he remembered, "How did you know about us?"

"Oh, this, I forgot to explain to you." Legolas paused again.During this pause, he subconsciously glanced in Thranduil's direction.But he didn't find any sign that the Elf King was paying attention to this side, so he couldn't help showing a little disappointment.However, he still raised his voice slightly to speak the next words.This may also be what he wanted to say to his father: "The reason why I came to Rivendell was because of Galian's request. Earlier, I temporarily ended my travels and returned to the kingdom. Galian was confirming that I He was a little disappointed after not meeting you. He was worried about His Majesty, but also a little anxious. Because Lord Elrond sent a letter to His Majesty just for this invitation. When I sent the news of His Majesty’s absence here, it happened that Raven Dale's messengers sent back your news. At that time, Lord Elrond had already set off for Gondor, so I stayed here to wait for you."

"Then I guess, before returning to the Woodland Kingdom, you stayed near Bree for a long time?" Lucius calculated Legolas' itinerary from the words, so he continued to ask.

"Yes, we stayed there for a while, but we didn't receive any new entrustment. Just when everyone was hesitating whether to go to Rohan to check the situation, the mercenaries behind brought news of the plague. All of a sudden During this period, the merchants in Bree also began to panic and gave up their plans to go to Rohan for trading. After discussing with each other, they decided to go home and check the situation. After the plague subsided, they would meet in Graddon .So I went back too." Legolas nodded as expected, and said with a serious face, "But I heard after I came here that Graton's situation is not very good, but it's not too bad. It's just not Know what their plans are going to be."

"I mean the plague is over, but I didn't expect this topic to spread in a wider area..." Lucius muttered, and his mind slipped into thinking.

Legolas, who didn't understand, asked again: "Have you encountered the plague?"

"In Gradton and Sarn Gable, we did meet them." Lucius nodded.

"What's going on, do you know the details?" Legolas was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Lucius looked up in the direction of Elrond.

The elf lord made a start on the plague, but didn't expand it in detail.The relationship between the plague and darkness has not yet given a conclusion.Thinking of this, Lucius frowned: "Obviously, this question is more complicated than I expected. Maybe the answer needs more information to draw."

Such an expression seemed very vague. Legolas pursed his lips and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out a clue.But seeing Lucius' secretive look, he didn't ask any more questions.

The team entered the range of Rivendell in a moment of silence.

Rivendell, one of the four main residences of elves in Middle-earth.

As soon as he stepped into the periphery of the territory marked by the iconic sculpture, a familiar and stronger pressure fell on Lucius again.

Although he had already made mental preparations in advance, when this critical switching point came, Lucius' body still tensed up unconsciously.

Thranduy, who was one step ahead, seemed to sense something, and turned around at the same time to look at Lucius.

The worried look on the Elven King's face was shallow, but Lucius and Legolas, who had also been paying attention to Thranduil, both caught it.

The elf prince was taken aback by his discovery, turned his head and saw the unnatural expression on Lucius' face, and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

If it is said that the pressure Lucius felt in the Woodland Kingdom would only be relatively obvious when entering and leaving the Kingdom.Then, the pressure on Lucius from entering Rivendell is like walking into a force field that exudes repulsion all the time.Even Lucius' breathing could already feel the obvious suffocation.

As King Gallon said, Rivendell is definitely not a good place for Lucius.

The battlefield of strength in the body seemed to be activated by such pressure, and it became ready to move.

However, such pressure was not an insurmountable trouble for Malfoy.Lucius snorted coldly in his heart, and when he was about to speak to ease Legolas' worries, a dangerous feeling of being pointed at the back of his neck suddenly appeared.Lucius only felt that a pair of invisible eyes were staring at him closely, exuding undisguised hostility.Those pointed eyes seemed to have irresistible insight, and with a condescending attitude of judgment, they engulfed Lucius within its sphere of influence.The feeling of suffocation that was originally only slightly increased suddenly, making Lucius' breathing suddenly heavy.The feeling of threat was like an aggressive edge, and cold sweat broke out on Lucius' back in an instant.

The change in his face did not escape Thranduil, who was watching him. The Elven King of the Woodland Kingdom frowned, and was about to turn his horse's head and approach Lucius.

And it was at this moment that the force that forced Lucius almost into a panicked posture suddenly disappeared.

This tandem change happened in an instant, so short that it was almost regarded as an illusion during a moment of trance.

Lucius felt as if his soul was suddenly thrown into the sky by the reaction force amidst the sudden and heavy changes.The invisible feeling of weightlessness even made him a little bit overwhelmed, and he was stunned.

Once the boundary between illusion and reality switches too quickly, it seems to evaporate in the gap of time.What followed was a terrible sense of loss of control and emptiness.

If it weren't for the sudden unpleasant noise of the horse he was riding, it woke up his distracted attention.Lucius didn't really notice the cold sweat that was already covering his back.

He came back to his senses, and his immediate reaction was to slightly shake his head in the direction of the Elf King.

Under Thranduil's slightly hesitant gaze, Lucius pulled out a smile and said to Legolas who cared about him: "I'm fine."
