[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

Chapter 129

Hearing Anis' slightly aggrieved tone, Thranduil turned his gaze from Lucius to the outline of the city in the distance.

The last time I visited this place was almost 3000 years ago.The skyline of the human city hasn't changed too much, but between the old and the new, there are almost no traces of Thranduil's impression.This fortress at the forefront against Mordor has often been the target of dark forces, but it is rarely like this now that it is entangled in the sky by an invisible dark aura.

This kind of dark aura can often be seen in humans traveling to and from the elf kingdom.And these visitors can often relieve some of this burden when they leave the kingdom.

The human race seems to be the best carrier of the dark breath, always absorbing these powers that are not beneficial to the soul without knowing it, but they can easily get rid of them.

Thranduil then looked at Lucius' side face again.

The same aura lingered on the body of the black-robed elf.Unlike the aura tainted by humans, the dark aura on Lucius seemed powerful and difficult to capture.What's more, the aura that is used to perfect concealment can hardly be dispelled.

"Since I have entered the land of Gondor, I will never return the same way." Lucius narrowed his eyes, revealing some emotions that don't often appear on the faces of elves.It was hostility wrapped in contempt, "If they're not going to let it go, just rush over."

"Isn't it good to directly conflict with humans?" Hadien said hesitantly, and at the same time cast a beckoning look at Thranduil, "If we reveal our identity as His Majesty, we should be able to get Corresponding courtesy."

"If you want to send your Majesty the Elven King back without incident," before Thranduil could respond, Lucius cut off Hardion's thoughts with a loud voice, his eyes sharp, "Don't let any high-level humans, elves, or wizards know that he is here."

This is the second time that Lucius directly stated that they must avoid all high-level human beings.

Thranduy frowned imperceptibly, remembering Lucius' previous equally abrupt but precise alarm.

None of this could be a stroke of genius for no reason.

Thranduil opened his mouth and asked softly, "Why?"

Hearing this, Lucius paused for a moment, and suddenly gave Thranduy a sneer that the latter couldn't understand after pondering for many days: "There is no reason, I will listen to you or not."

Under his insistence, Lucius did not leave in the forest of Ithilien in the end.But Thranduil could clearly feel that Lucius' decision was not due to his own persistence.

This was another situation beyond his control.

More than one such situation beyond the control of the Elf King has already appeared in Lucius.

And none of these seemed to exist before Lucius left the Woodland Kingdom.

Thranduy couldn't help tightening the arc between his brows again, feeling agitated.

******

The four horses slowly approached the gate of Osgiliath, and Thranduy and Lucius each rode a horse ahead.Hadien and Annis, who were following behind, each led a horse, and pack boxes were piled on the horses.

This is the disguise Lucius prepared in advance.

Just as Annis was worried, when they entered within 100 meters of the city gate, they heard the yelling of the city guard from a distance: "The people coming in front stop and report your identity! "

The human knight led two complete squads of soldiers to meet them in full battle.

Facing the impolite question, neither Thranduy nor Lucius got off their horses.

The footsteps of the horses simply stopped, and the leaders of the two sides stood facing each other five meters apart.The attitude of the elves is different from that of all humans who want to enter Osgiliath.

This signal is clearly unusual.

The general guarding the city tightened his face, softened his tone a little, and asked again: "Who are you?"

"We are businessmen." Lucius replied simply without lifting his hood.

Lucius' reaction was not friendly, but proud people often have their own capital.The general defending the city who spoke to him probably considered this and did not turn his face immediately.I just explained again: "The merchant must dismount for inspection, and your goods must also be checked out of the box. You can only pass through after confirming that it is safe."

"We can accept the inspection." Lucius said, with some teasing in his tone, "However, the posture you put on doesn't seem to be purely for the inspection? This makes me a little uneasy."

"We are only carrying out the orders of the Regent." The general defending the city replied in a tense tone.

Seeing that the attitude of the city defenders has not softened, Lucius retreated to test the opponent's reaction: "Since the order is so strict, maybe I choose to take a detour. It's just a pity that these regular medicinal materials that have just been purchased .”

While saying this, Lucius was about to turn his horse around.

But it was also at this time that the guarding generals raised their hands at the same time.The two rows of soldiers who were already on full alert ran quickly, trying to block their way.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Hadien and Annis strode forward with their weapons out of their sheaths, and a battle was about to break out between the two sides.

But their actions were suppressed by Lucius.

The black-robed wizard watched the human soldiers complete the encirclement with cold eyes, and his tone did not waver. He still held the attitude of staying out of the way just now, and sighed softly: "It is obviously unusual to be waiting in full force. What happened in Gondor? "

"It's a state secret, so I have no comment." The city guard also clenched the weapon in his hand, and pointed in Lucius' direction faintly, "Besides, before you want to get an answer, shouldn't you make it clear first?" Your own identity? It's not polite for you to talk to me while wearing a hood like this."

"Your Excellency was the one who showed a hostile attitude from the beginning. We have always cooperated very well, haven't we?" Lucius looked at the human knight who was confronting him under the cover of the hood.

He didn't take the attitude of humans to chance in the first place.

Ithilien should be an important source of common medicinal materials in Gondor.If it were not for a reason, the number of merchants from Gondor would not have plummeted.

What Lucius was most worried about was that the wizard who was in contact with Sauron stopped them from leaving Ithilien.But judging from the speed of news dissemination in this world, the possibility of this worry becoming true is basically negligible.

But after excluding this option, the situation is not optimistic.

Lucius was not "moved" by Thranduil's retention, or for other similar reasons, and chose to go on the road with the other three elves.

Even if the influence of the ruling Lord of the Rings, which still carries many doubts, is removed, Lucius himself originally planned to enter Gondor and look for opportunities to contact the ruling class of this country.

From the perspective of his own appeal, it is naturally most appropriate to draw the attention of high-level human beings with a high profile.

But this kind of suitability is also based on the premise that human beings are basically friendly to foreign visitors.

Lucius wanted to get some news out of the cautious attitude of the guarding generals, not only to pave the way for better courtesy in the future, but also to avoid stepping on this state by rashly showing up without knowing it. country's warning point.

However, the city guard general in front of him was too cautious.

After several attempts to no avail, Lucius took a deep breath to suppress the irritability that had arisen just now.Lifting his hood neatly, he smiled in line with common etiquette and said, "Forgive me for being too cautious and forgetting to introduce myself. We are from Rohan, and we are herbal medicine merchants."

"The merchants of Rohan are forbidden to enter Gondor. You can't... er, you are an elf?" When the city guard first caught a glimpse of Lucius's face, he was surprised by the bright aura that was different from before. different.But before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the tip of Lucius' protruding ear.

This unusual exclamation directly triggered the most tense defense of the human soldiers.Facing the humans who directly showed all their weapons, Hadion and Annis immediately gave up their pack horses and stood guard in front of Lucius and Thranduil.

The elf identity, which has always been unimpeded in the human kingdom, became the most critical tipping point at this time.

Lucius tightened the wand in his sleeve, and stared at the human knight in front of him seriously: "What do you mean?"

"The regent has ordered that elves of unknown origin and suspicious human traders trespassed into the restricted area of ​​Ithilien. Once discovered, they will be arrested immediately." The general guarding the city also stood with arms, not daring to relax his guard, and shouted in a cold voice.

"Arrest the elves?" Lucius sneered and broke down the superficial disguise, "Human, are you sure this is really the decision of your regent? What qualifications do you have to arrest the elves?"

The elf's fearless attitude made the city guard very afraid, but he hesitated, not daring to put down his weapon.

And at this moment when the two sides were at a stalemate, there was suddenly the sound of horseshoes approaching quickly in the city.

A well-trained cavalry team quickly came out of the city and lined up in a circle behind the generals defending the city.The team slowly separated at the end, as if revealing a wide passage leading to the city.

The figures guarded by this team then quickly approached from the other end of the passage, revealing their faces.

Seeing this, Lucius raised his eyebrows with interest, and looked at the "important person" who finally showed up.

The extraordinarily beautiful horse stopped only when it reached the position between Lucius and the general defending the city, and a tall and straight figure dismounted Shi Shiran.

The knight costume made of brocade has intricate embroidery constructed of dark patterns, which perfectly sets off the gorgeous yet elegant and modest temperament of the comer.With a gentle smile, he said to the embarrassed general defending the city: "There must be some misunderstanding here. Why don't I explain it to His Excellency the Regent?"

The author has something to say: Ahem... At this time, you should ask: Guess who is here?

Thank you for the mines, babies~~
