Chapter 133
Chapter 133
"When did you really listen to me?"
The Elf King's low-pitched words sounded.
It seemed to be a question that was not much different from other words, but Lucius, who didn't meet Thranduil's eyes, felt his heart jump when he heard it, and suddenly had a subtle feeling of being lightly swept over his ears by a feather.
Lucius' eyes were blank for a second, until the sudden warmth loosened the grip on his breathing.
In the short-term suffocation, Lucius felt his heartbeat changing rhythm.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Thranduil.
Thranduil's expression was serious, but the softness in his eyes convinced Lucius that the subtle feeling at that moment was not his illusion.
Lucius had never heard Thranduil use such a tone to any elf, not even his favorite Legolas.
Lucius was choked by the echoing thoughts in his mind, and slowly, under the gaze of the Elf King, he sent out his own voice: "I...why should I listen?"
Faced with this almost weightless response, Thranduil really frowned: "You are an elf from the woodland kingdom, of course you should obey my orders and accept my protection."
Lucius looked up at the Elf King, carefully chewing on the answer that the other party gave as a matter of course.
The way Thranduil looked at him did not change.
But Lucius finally realized that maybe when some thought flashed, even the owner of the thought might not be able to detect it.
Especially if the owner of these thoughts has been unfamiliar with them for thousands of years.
Lucius slowly and slightly raised the corners of his eyes, revealing extraordinarily shining eyes.His expression seems to have simply accepted the explanation of the Elf King, but he revealed a hidden mischievous meaning in the details that are difficult to distinguish: "For an individual, who to submit to is actually more determined by interests than by birth. .As a half-elf, maybe I can be regarded as your subject. But at the same time, I still have the status of the lord of Changhu Town." Lucius paused, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter, "If I want to ask your The crown bends down, what benefits can you bring me?"
Thranduil frowned all of a sudden, obviously he would not answer such a utilitarian question from Lucius.
"Actually, if you think about it seriously, maybe it is more in your interest for me not to obey your orders. The existence of Longhu Town serves as a buffer zone for the elves, dwarves and humans in the Romanian region. This kind of peaceful coexistence mainly depends on what humans can do. From this point of view, it is more beneficial for you to benefit from each other if Bard and I have a unified position and do not listen to either elves or dwarves. The stronger the human beings represented by Bard and I Strong, the more it will help to stabilize the triangular stability in this region." Lucius went on to talk eloquently, "Your interference with me will only destroy this balance."
The Elf King didn't buy the negotiating words at all. He quickly interrupted the wizard's speech with a stern face, and went back to the severe lesson theme: "You are yourself, and you should pay more attention to your own safety. It's not a check and balance between races."
Lucius blinked and looked at the Elf King quietly.
Under the guidance of clues, simple explorations have already obtained preliminary results.Apparently, Thranduil has long been unclear whether his obsession with keeping Lucius by his side stems from his identity or his own feelings.This was an unexpected development given their current situation and the level of intimacy in their relationship.Lucius didn't try any further, just hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled at an angle that Thranduil couldn't see.
"You care about my safety, I am very grateful for your kindness. But this has nothing to do with whether I need to stay by your side forever." Lucius suppressed his smile after a short pause and regained his calm expression Rebuttal tone.
"You are just a half-elf, Lucius. Any time you face death, it will be irreversible. Only within the sphere of influence of the Woodland Kingdom can I guarantee your safety." Thranduil said to Lucius Si didn't notice anything when he was distracted for a short time, and he just expressed his worries in a serious manner.
"But the truth is, I'm not safe staying within your sphere of influence." Lucius glanced at the Elf King.
"Why is it not safe?" Thranduil, who couldn't catch the evasive signal in Lucius' words, continued to ask directly.
Seeing the undisguised confusion and anxiety in the Elf King's eyes, Lucius's heart flashed with joy again, and he didn't let it go: "Because of my magic power. Because I hold the power of darkness in the body of an elf." The two conflicting forces will make my magic more and more unstable. I left Long Lake because of this. What I need now is to find a solution to this problem, not to stay in a place that is not threatening. To the safe zone of my life. If no effort is made to maintain the status quo, the magic cycle will gradually collapse."
"What will happen if the magic power cycle collapses?" Thranduil's eyes dimmed, and he continued to ask.
"Well, well..." Lucius shrugged and replied lightly, "Probably he will die."
"Why?" Thranduy asked with a sudden change of expression.
"Why?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, repeated it, and quickly switched from the answerer to the questioner: "Shouldn't this be a question to you? Why did I come to this world? Your father's foresight, What is it?"
Thranduy was suffocated by this unexpected rhetorical question, while Lucius stared at him intently and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me the whole story?"
This was a topic brought up by Elrond, but Thranduil could have skipped it.The fact that Lucius didn't ask at that moment didn't mean he didn't take this detail to heart.
Thranduil was silent for a while, sighed softly, and explained: "The stone gate connecting the two worlds was built by my father. Back then, the construction of the stone gate and the sending out of the elves were done in secret, and I did not I didn’t know it. At that time, I had already brought the army to Saen Gebao.”
"Afterwards, my father came to join the battle with the other half of the army, but he was ambushed on the way to the confluence. When I arrived, he had already died." Thranduil paused calmly, not saying anything. Other emotions were revealed, "I continued to fight with the remaining troops. It was not until I returned to the kingdom after the war that I found the stone gate in the reference room. However, the guards in the reference room did not know what the stone gate was. use."
"About 3000 years ago, the Kingdom moved north to this place. During the whole process, Shimen was moved here according to its original appearance. In the end, it was because of your sudden appearance that I asked Galian to search for relevant information again. Thranduy said frankly, "There were not many records left, and some of them were lost during the process of moving the capital. The remaining information only recorded the sentence 'Leaving is to wait for the return', and a few words around the incident. As for why some elves left in exchange for your return; there is no record of how the returnees will be placed or what role they will play. Even I can't find out who built this stone gate."
All the relevant figures have disappeared, and there are no written materials.This is actually the answer that Lucius had secretly obtained.But the fact that Thranduil was also unaware still made Lucius a little unbelievable.
Frowning raised a questioning tone: "Then why did you predict that my magic power would slowly disappear in the kingdom?"
"Lucius, you are an elf. The power of an elf is closely related to the territory you live in. This does not conflict with whether you are from another world. As long as you are an elf, you must abide by the laws of this world." Thranduil With a deep voice, he said word by word slowly, "This fact has no mutual influence with your appearance."
Lucius had always believed in his heart that Thranduil didn't bother to lie.But the matter was mentioned by Elrond in such a sudden situation, it was difficult for him to dispel the doubts in his heart.Between belief and disbelief, there are still some big and small doubts.
"Then since it's something that even you don't know the reason, why did Elrond deduce that it was a prophecy from your father." Lucius still couldn't help asking one after another with a sullen face, "What if It is really an incomprehensible past, what is the relationship between the strength and baptism you mentioned?"
Concerned about the anxiety caused by it, Lucius unconsciously sped up his speech and clenched his fists unconsciously.This all shows his rare defensiveness.
Thranduy looked down at Lucius' fist hanging by his side, and he couldn't help showing a faint worry between his brows and eyes.He slowly raised his eyes, and finally fixed on Lucius's tight lips: "Of course I will not be indifferent to your sudden appearance, but when I couldn't find any clues, I wrote to Ai before summoning you." Elrond. It is a pity that he did not find any possible relevant information in Rivendell in the end. As for the relationship between baptism and strength, that is of course something he will pay attention to. Because he himself was once a half-elf."
Feelings of astonishment and disappointment appeared in Lucius' eyes as soon as the words fell.
Seeing this scene, Thranduy couldn't help feeling anxious, and subconsciously raised his hand.
The polite distance was shortened extremely quickly by the unconscious action of the Elf King.The coldness built up by negative emotions around the wizard was also disturbed by Thranduil's fingertips protruding to the side of his face at this moment.
Lucius' distracted gaze focused at this moment, but after obvious daze and hesitation, he turned his head away again.
The caring affection was in vain, but Thranduil was caught by Lucius who was dodging before he stopped.
Lucius turned his head to avoid Thranduil's touch, but at the same time, he raised his hand and grabbed Thranduil's hand.But unlike the Elf King who stopped him at the critical moment, what Lucius' fingertips touched was Thranduil's warm palm.
The palm that was less than a fist away hovered by Lucius' ear, and Lucius looked up at Thranduil with unprecedented solemnity in his eyes: "You really don't know why I came to this world? ?”
The temperature touched by the palm is an unprecedented experience, and Gu Ji's heart seems to be submerged in a warm current.
Thranduy was stared at by Lucius like this, and his mood was so loud that he almost lost his self-control.But under the duress of this strange and subtle emotion, he was unwilling to look away.
Looking at those eyes that almost reflected the endless starry sky at this moment, Thranduil only felt that his thoughts seemed to be torn apart by contradictory emotions.
He was willing to offer everything to satisfy him, but he really couldn't give the answer Lucius wanted.
"do not know."
