Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 84

One may have seen Thranduil, a very handsome and tall elf king.He has beautiful long light blond hair and gray eyes.

In autumn he would wear a crown of red leaves and berries among his fair hair, and in spring his crown of woodland flowers.

In addition, he is wise and far-sighted, good at weighing, and does not allow others to question his authority. He is a very majestic king.

Turka and Thorin met him in the king's hall.At that time, he was sitting on a carved wooden chair, high above.

"My lord."

The Elf King stood up, and greeted the leading Silver King very politely: "Time flies, and the day of drinking with you seems like yesterday."

Turka also bowed to him, and then said: "May the starlight of Elberis shine on your head forever, Lord Thranduil! I haven't seen you for several years. I have to say that your kingdom is getting more and more prosperous. "

The reason why the dragonborn said this was because he saw that the food prepared by the elves for the dwarves was extremely rich. Not only did they have various hams, steaks, sweet cheeses, and fruits, but even high-strength brandy and wine were displayed.

It's a little too enthusiastic when it comes to the feud between the two races.

Thranduil glanced at Thorin, who seemed to have killed his father and enemy, and said with a smile: "The people of Starlight have always been warm to guests."

"False elves." Thorin said coldly, looking extremely rude.

Turka sighed, his head hurting a bit.

Sure enough, anger flashed across the smiling face of the elf king. He took a deep look at the dwarf and said, "Also, Mr. Turka, I have a message for you."

Turka was really surprised: "What kind of message?"

But Thranduil said, "Let's take our seats first, it won't be too late if we are in a hurry."

Helpless, Turka and others could only enter one after another.

The dwarves and Bilbo didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the silver king and their king, even the elf king, would be the ones to support the sky fall first. All they could do was to fill their stomachs first.

At this time Legolas also went to change into a beautiful robe, wearing a forehead crown, and appeared at the banquet.

With the addition of some noble Sindar elves as companions, and female elves playing harp and flute, although it wasn't too lively, the atmosphere was relaxed a lot.

Even Sorin stuffed some food indiscriminately in a fit of anger, took a few sips of fine wine, and then sat there sullenly and got angry.

After finally finishing the tasteless banquet, Thranduil ordered the dwarves to take the dwarves to rest in the comfortable room that had been prepared, leaving only Turka and Thorin behind.

And Legolas was there too.

Because the process of politeness has been completed, with only a few relevant personnel here, Thranduil no longer hides it. He said unexpectedly: "Master Turka, I have a brown robe from Ladaga. He seems to have expected you to pass through my country, so he sent a messenger to report about Annuminas."

As he said that, he ordered someone to bring a birdcage, in which stood a sharp-billed skylark with gray feathers.

Turka's eyes immediately became serious."What happened?" he asked.

Sorin knew about the outbreak of the plague in the north, because when he went to Anuminas to invite Turca, the silver king was rushing back from the valley.

Even, during the adventure, Turka returned to the ancient city by Lake Nengwei more than once to deal with related matters.

So the dwarf couldn't help but look over.

Thranduil didn't say anything, but opened the cage himself, stretched out his hand to let the skylark jump on his finger, and then took it out.

"At your service! Respected silver king!" The skylark with very beautiful feathers greeted Turka very politely, and there were a few gleams of wisdom in a pair of small black eyes.

"Please don't be too polite." Turka nodded. This is a world full of miracles. Here, it is normal for birds to talk. "The brown-robed wizard has something to inform me?"

"Yes, yes." The voice of the skylark is very beautiful, and almost all people or elves who have heard them sing will be attracted by their beautiful voice: "The friend of the forest arrived at the high king before the nine suns rose and the moon set." of the Tower, which was built by Elendil, and the animals had seen the prosperity of men in the north; and there were many birds that made their homes in those days, and ate the food that the good king prepared for them, and the animals remembered This point is spread in secret. But the prosperity of the human world is always fleeting. The former king died in Barad-dur, and the subsequent kings fell into disputes; darkness struck, the royal power was lost, and the last king was drowned by the frozen sea , the brilliance of the northern humans is completely cut off."

Everyone knows that this skylark narrates the story of the kingdom of Arnor and the kingdoms of Asedan, Rudol and Cadolan after it. listen.

Finally, the lark with a broken mouth talked about the silver king.

"...until the silver king blew the ancient horn, and the ancient northern city reappeared in glory! The elves and dwarves reunited, and humans gathered; After this scene, the name of Turka Arakano is famous in Central Continent!"

"We all know this!" Sorin was a little impatient. The bird talked too much. I don't know if it was trapped in the cage by the Elven King for too long. The skylark talked endlessly. Yes, speaking is better than singing!

"Tell me something we don't know, or I will doubt your qualifications as an envoy!"

Thorin threatened it.

The talkative bird just shut its mouth.Then there was a little bit of grievance, but also a little bit of anger and said: "If the dwarf is so anxious, okay! Then let us skip the beautiful paragraph and start the sad story! Dear Turka Arakano, you Your servants are dead! A conspiracy appeared in your capital, the son of Alador, Arathorn was assassinated, and the northern kingdom lost its deputy! The female elves led the northern elves and the rangers of the Dúnedain to fight Assassins of the South, but the mob storms the King's Tower, and the glory of Annuminas is overshadowed, my lord!"

The news was really explosive, and even the dwarf king could not help but look surprised; Legolas even looked at the silent silver king with worried eyes.

Thranduil seemed to have known this earlier, and continued to urge it: "Also, please tell me everything you know, and don't mislead Lord Turka."

So the lark continued: "It was at this time that the Friends of the Forest arrived in the north. With the help of the female elf, he confirmed that the plague that broke out in the north was witchcraft, a frightening evil magic! But He had an assassination too, a horrific assassination! An Istar attacked the Friends of the Forest! That nearly killed the foolish, always mushroom-loving Radagast!"

"what!"

Now even Turka couldn't sit still, and said in surprise: "Radagast was also assassinated? Another wizard attacked him? Who?"

"We don't know each other!"

The skylark also seemed to be very afraid of the wizard, and it jumped up and down on Thranduil's slender fingers uncomfortably: "The animals don't know his name! There are no legends about them in the West, but Radagast knows." But he didn’t say it! He let us fly and fly, fly to the valley, fly to the golden forest, fly to Thranduil’s palace, to find the wise men of Middle-earth and the silver king.”

"I also knew about this two days ago." The Elf King said, even a trace of confusion and deep worry appeared on his face: "But I can't tell you more! This wizard is not in my memory. Maybe Kai Mrs. Landril knows more, maybe not! I can't be sure! It's almost one of the few things in my long life that confuses me."

"Therefore I command Legolas to go and find you, Lord Turka," said he, "for I know that you and these dwarves will pass through the forest to the Lonely Mountain in the east by the road my ancestors built! A reckless adventure!"

Turka's heart skipped a beat, feeling helpless again.

Sure enough, the next moment.

"Whether you are reckless or not is not up to your sharp ears." Thorin glared at the Elf King very angrily, and his stubby fingers held the hilt of Oakrest's sword dangerously, with a look of "Say it again, look at me I'll cut off your head" with a violent look.

"Who is greedy for life and afraid of death, letting the former allies face the fire of hell alone, and not daring to lend a helping hand?"

"And who turned a blind eye and stood by when the dwarves were at their worst?"

"It's you! Thranduil! The king of the woodland kingdom! A ridiculous shell king in name only! A hypocritical elf!"

As if remembering those miserable years, Thorin couldn't bear it anymore, the dwarf cursed with red eyes, cursing the Elf King and his country.

"Let this elf sit on his lofty rotting wooden chair, decaying with time! We don't need his hypocritical pity!"

This made the king of the Woodland Kingdom very angry.

"Don't talk to me about misery!" Thranduil's fingers also gripped the hilt of the elf sword inlaid with gems at his waist, and a frightening gleam appeared in his gray eyes.

"I have also fought dragons! I have experienced the horror of dragon fire!"

The Elf King removed the magic on his face, and half of his face corroded and scorched by the dragon flame appeared in front of everyone, which was shocking.

The skylark was frightened by the elf king's murderous aura, and flew away from his finger.

"I warned your grandfather that his greed will inevitably lead to evil prying eyes! But the dwarves were indifferent and turned a deaf ear!" As if sensing his son's surprised gaze, a light flashed in Thranduil's hand, and that handsome and beautiful face reappeared. in front of everyone.

He said coldly: "Tell me! Will you risk your entire family and become an enemy of the evil dragon for a person who ignores the warnings of others and rushes to destruction with all his heart?"

Not knowing whether he was caught by the elf king's questioning from the heart, or simply frightened by Thranduil's hidden side, Sorin was stunned.

……,……

The palace of the elves is beautiful and shocking.

The huge carved Langfang, the deep stone path, and the charming clear spring under the stone all make people addicted to it.

Even Bilbo found a small patch of beech and other small trees planted in the cave, so lush, it seemed like a garden in the sun.

And the elf's bed is almost the most comfortable except for the hobbit's cot, with white sheets, soft pillows, and clean window sills.Bilbo could even smell a sweet fragrance from it, from a beautiful flower that the Elf had placed on the windowsill.

It can be seen that the elves are still very considerate in terms of hospitality.

And the elves didn't limit their freedom, as long as they didn't step out of the magic gate of the elf palace, they could go wherever they wanted, even if you were curious, the elves wouldn't even stop you from sitting on the throne of Thranduil !

But none of this can conceal the fact that the dwarves and hobbits are under house arrest by the elves.

After the meeting that the hobbits didn't understand, the silver king disappeared, and the dwarf was also excused by the elf king: please rest for a while, and it will not be too late to start when your body is back to its best condition —was left in the palace of the Woodland Kingdom.

Thinking of what Turka said before the dwarves went to the elves, Bilbo, who was trapped in this beautiful palace, but not the final destination of the hobbits, finally made up his mind.

He made an excuse to go out for a stroll, and when the elves finally took their eyes off him, the hobbit immediately put on the magic ring he picked up in the orc dungeon, and turned into a shadow, appearing in the elf king Seran Walk through Dill's palace.

He first tried his luck at the gate.

As a result, as expected, Bilbo was rejected.

The magic door of the Elf King is closed tightly, no one is allowed to enter or exit.

Moreover, the guards here are heavily guarded, and the vigilant eyes of the elves are constantly sweeping around in the shadows, and it is impossible to sneak out quietly——

He could, but the dwarves weren't as invisible as he was.

So Bilbo took another detour to the other places of the elves.

But none of them found a suitable place to break through.

"Are we destined to waste time here?" Bilbo sat down on a step, his thick feet resting on the cold ground.

"Obviously the day of Turin is approaching, but Mr. Turka disappeared at this time, leaving us in the palace of this dark elf king. What happened?"

"Sorin may know, but he has become more and more irritable during this period. He is cursing almost every day, or spends it in terrifying silence. I don't want to go to him again! The anger in his eyes is chilling, as if at any time Like chopping off people's heads."

Also, it bothered Bilbo: Thorin's room was the only one of them all guarded.

It seems that the elf king also knew that with Thorin's temper, he would not be willing to cooperate obediently, so he simply imprisoned the dwarf king.

It looks like when will you think it through clearly, and when will you come out and talk to me.

Moreover, Thranduil did not completely treat them as prisoners.In the past few days, the Elven King has invited everyone to the elves' banquet more than once. During the period, he was served with good wine and good food, with a smile on his face.

It made Bilbo, and even the dwarves like Balin, very angry and didn't know what to do.
