The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit: The First Dance

Svanil looked at Elrond who was dancing with a pot and shovel in front of him, and couldn't help but think of their 50-year encounter...

Armenelos (Come on, follow me and say this name three times: Armenelos, Armenelos, Armenelos, ok, continue~] is the most prosperous and splendid human standing on the mainland of China The city, its name comes from Quenya, and its name contains the meanings of "royal" Royal, "sky" Heaven and "fortress, city".It is also known as the "Golden City" theGolden and the City of the Kings, which may originate from the splendor of the city.Yaminelos is the capital and largest city of Numenor (humanity), and has always been the most densely populated area of ​​Numenor, as well as the most beautiful, magnificent and prosperous city.

During the first 50 years of traveling in Central Continent, Svanil had the honor to pass by Yamineros once, but this time, it was the second time.Yes, not because of anything else, but because of Svanil... lack of money!Ironically, during the long first 1000 years of Svail, she never thought about money, so much so that she spent most of her savings when she came out of the iron hills of the dwarves. I had to "bow my waist for five buckets of rice frequently".

Elves are not a materialistic race, and neither is Svanil.Without a house to live in, a big tree is her bed; without food, the fruits and certain plants in the forest are her three meals.But please understand, after living like a savage for more than five months, an elf who does not seek material desires will also yearn for a warm house and abundant food... She wants money, more than ever in her life !

In the face of reality, she really fell...

There is a yellow brick wall in the west of the city of Yaminielos that is covered with bounties. From left to right, there are all kinds of bounties, such as killing monsters, serving as bodyguards, capturing bandits, and finding rare objects... The rewards of the bounties vary depending on the mission. There is also a considerable difference in the difficulty level, such as a reward for slaying a dragon, and there are so many zeros written after the bonus that Svanil is too lazy to count.Of course, dangerous tasks are not suitable for a female elf, if it is not so urgent, she prefers to use her wits before the reward order.For example, now, she stops between two reward orders:

On the left, there is a bounty on the heads of two trolls.They stole livestock and destroyed crops. Rama village next to Yaminielos was so disturbed that they offered 50 gold coins.

On the right, there is a reward for three kinds of precious herbs, and you will pay 10 gold coins for one herb.The three herbs are Yingfenghua, Shuxia mushroom and Xingyue grass (more than 200 years old), and the time is limited to 3 days before midsummer.

Svanil thought for a while, and took off the reward order on the right.Windflower loves strong winds and often grows on cliffs; under-tree mushrooms may grow under any kind of tree, and the number is rare, so finding them can only be done by luck; It will show up, and you can't find it at all. They grow in the endless wilderness.

After confirming the task, Svanil set off.She rode an old horse, yes, the gray zebra that she brought from home was dead so she had to buy a horse, an old horse, they were slow and lethargic, but they were cheap, weren't they?If I hadn't bought it in time, Svanil would have to ride a donkey now!Svanil walked through the streets lined with shops and bustling crowds, thinking in her heart that if she had 10 gold coins, she could change clothes and eat a sweet strawberry pie; if she had 20 gold coins, she could almost Rent a small house in Yaminielos City, and enjoy this "City of Thousand Kings"; and if there are 30 gold coins, she can't help but think happily, then this year's brother and father's birthday presents will be available, maybe You can also add some small jewelry to yourself... Ah, Svanil saw the shop facing the street, that small bracelet is not bad!

The days of traveling in Middle-earth are hard and challenging!

Two days later in the evening.

This is an uninhabited remote valley, with the fragrance of vegetation in the air, hidden among many dangerous valleys, forests, swamps and streams.Numerous small streams flow from the mountains, several small streams merge into a big stream, flow down the rocks to form waterfalls, and finally merge into rivers at the bottom of the valley and flow into the distance.The ginger rock is wet and hard, sharp as a knife in places.And on this rock that stands thousands of feet high, there is a figure clinging to it:

Svanil tied a rope to the cliff, stepped on the rock with both legs, and grabbed the rope with both hands, and descended step by step from the top of the cliff to the current position, the waist of the cliff.Not far from her was a white waterfall splashing, and the splash of water hitting the rocks wet Svanil's red cardigan.She started climbing after seeing the windflowers growing on the recessed mountainside of the cliff in the afternoon, and now the sun is about to sink from the west, but thankfully she has almost reached her destination!

Step on a raised rock with your feet to the right, turn your hands and swing - reach the mountainside!The shape of the mountain here is slightly concave, so Svanil can easily stand still.A small white seven-petal flower stretches against the wind on the rocks. Windflower, a rare but effective wound healing medicine!Just as Svanil stretched out his hand to pick the flowers happily, he suddenly saw an extra hand on the ground in the corner of his eyes. The hand was well-knit and slender; followed by a piece of black, flowing with glittering brilliance in the setting sun; and then a A face with sweat on its forehead; a pair of pointy ears; and finally the whole body climbed up the rock and stood in front of Svanil.In the blink of an eye, if she didn't recognize him as an elf, then she would really suspect that he grew out of a crack in the rock!

"..." Svanil was thinking of a suitable opening sentence.

"My lady, hello!" The male elf gave a slight salute and smiled calmly, "Below is Elrond of Linton."

Sifanyier raised the hem of her skirt slightly, "Sifanyier of the Great Green Forest." He didn't add his surname.

After introducing himself, Svanil began to feel a little embarrassed.After going out for more than 50 years, she has dealt with humans, elves, dwarves, hobbits and even mermaids in the water, and suddenly realized that she hadn't stayed with the same kind for a long time.

Elrond was very calm: "I'm here to pick it." He pointed to the white and tender windflower on the rock.

Sifanyier choked: "I... I also came to pick the windflower."

Elrond frowned.He has been out for more than half a month, and he came here to treat Arnold - the current master of Yamenelos, the emperor of Númenor - with herbal medicine.In a battle with a half-orc, the Emperor Arnold was unfortunately wounded by black magic and a serious sword wound. Under the double blow, ordinary healing methods and potions were ineffective at all, so now he had to try the healing methods found in ancient books potion.Windblossom is a precious and rare herb. For it, he has been looking for it for 7 or 8 days, and he has searched all the nearby places suitable for the growth of this herb before finding this one.Elrond raised his eyes to look at the female elf opposite, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, it was not in line with his standards to behave in the world, but...

"Miss Svanil..." Elrond pondered, "To be honest, my relatives were seriously injured and urgently needed herbal medicine for treatment. I have been looking for them for more than half a month. Windflowers are rare and precious. Although I am ashamed, I, Elrond I beg you, Miss, to bear the pain and let go of your love!" He bowed deeply.

Svanil was silent, and looked at the male elf who was taller than her by a head in front of her, and his waist was shorter than hers, and he sighed in his heart:

"Saving people is more important, take this windward flower back!" Sifanyier pretended to be magnanimous, and waved "goodbye" to the new clothes and strawberry pie in his heart.

The male elf straightened up with a smile on his face.When the setting sun came, the black hair and eyes shone like lake water.Svanil coughed uncomfortably, "Then I'll go first." She picked up the rope, held it in her hand, straddled her legs, and returned to the rock.She had to climb up quickly before it would be dark.

"Miss Sveil."

Svanil turned to look at Elrond questioningly.

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, but please let me do something for you!"

Sifanyier Wangtian, can you give me some gold coins... She really can't say this.She looked at the male elf standing in the rock, his face was quiet and sincere, she believed that he did ask for herbs to save people, and it was life-threatening.

"No need, I wish your loved ones well!" Sivanyir pulled up the rope after finishing speaking, and climbed a long way with a sharp breath.

After resting in the trees for the night, Svanil decided to try his luck in the forest.

After three days of wandering in the woods, Svanil's old horse seemed listless.The mushroom under the tree may grow under any tree. It has a small canopy and short fluffy stems, which can change colors according to the seasons, such as light green in early spring, emerald green in midsummer, withered yellow in autumn, The whiteness of winter snow... makes it extremely difficult for people to pick them.But in terms of medicine, it is an excellent purifying agent, as long as a small plant can wash away the ominous curse.And, insanely delicious, it smells like crispy pine nuts...wait, Svanil sniffs...crunchy pine nuts!

The afternoon sun is as passionate as a dancing girl. Svanil was sleeping under a laurel tree. After smelling the crispy pine nuts, she turned around suddenly and lay down on the ground covered by layers of fallen leaves. .A small, very cute emerald green mushroom in front of me is not just a tree, a mushroom, a mushroom!There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!Now no one is robbing me, Sivanyir was overjoyed, and picked off the mushroom under the osmanthus tree!

Whoosh, two thin sniffling sounds.Sivanyil was holding the under-tree mushroom in his hands, and looked up: a little brown fur squirrel was standing on the opposite tree root out of the ground, looking at Sifanyil, with small brown, wet eyes blinking.

Just when Svanil was thinking about what to say to the little squirrel, a voice came from not far away: "Jianna..." The little squirrel raised its head suddenly, then put its front paws down, kicked back, and huffed towards the little squirrel. The voice ran away.It turned out that the squirrel was called "Jianna", well, it was a female.

Svanil stood up and straightened her skirt. Since she got the mushroom under the tree, she didn't plan to stay here anymore.There was the sound of running in the woods, Svanil looked far away, the afternoon sun was strong, the tall branches and leaves of the green trees were illuminated by the sun, and the white edges were illuminated, and spots of light were cast in the gaps. When the south wind passed, it brought the smell of soil and grass.In the backlight, a brisk figure ran towards Sifanyier and rubbed his eyes vigorously, Sifanyier suddenly felt a little stomachache!The black-haired and blue-clothed elf was the elf on the cliff that day!

When Elrond stood in front of Svanil again, there was a surprised expression on his face, and even a little funny, especially when the little squirrel Jaina held his small paw from his left shoulder to comb his hair. When the neat hair jumped to the right shoulder.

"You..." Svanil had a bad premonition, and her premonition was always damn accurate!

"Miss Svanil..." Elrond's eyes moved to the mushroom under the tree in her arms.

The purpose is too obvious... Svanil took a breath, then stabilized, "Is this squirrel yours?"

"Jianna has a sharp nose, so it's perfect for her to find mushrooms under the tree."

"You want it to save people?" Svanil shook the green mushroom in his hand, a little weak.

Elrond looked at Svanil in embarrassment, and finally nodded with difficulty.

Svanil felt that fire was coming out of her eyes now, the new clothes were gone, the strawberry pie was gone, the house was gone, she and this black-haired male elf were born to die!Take a look, what's there to see!You want to save people, what you do is life and death!I will continue to use the ground as my seat and the sky as my hut!

Svanil stepped forward and pressed the mushroom under the tree to the blue elf's chest, with such strength that the latter took a step back involuntarily. Perhaps Svanil's anger was more lethal than the action!Gouging Elrond hard, Svanil got on his horse and walked away in a huff.We have to understand that even the most noble elves will not be in a good temper when their hard work is not rewarded and their living conditions decline sharply.

"Si Fan..."

"Don't come here!" Riding on the horse, Sifan Yier let out his nose condescendingly, "It will be bad if I meet you!" After speaking, he rode away without looking back.

Elrond wanted to say something more, but he also knew that it would be unwise to provoke an angry elf, but, "I live in the Star Picking Palace in the city of Yamenelos. If you encounter any problems, you can go there to find I!"

He got his wish in exchange for a knife eye.

Having learned the lesson from the last two times, when Svanil found Xingyue Grass on the vast grassland, she was not busy being happy at the first time, she looked earnestly in four directions, east, west, north, south, and that damned male elf did not appear He lay down on the ground and listened carefully, but there was no sound of his damn footsteps within a few kilometers.After checking everything, she felt that she could finally be happy with peace of mind this time!

Star and moon grass is the most common of the three herbs, and it can be easily found at night when the stars and the moon are in the sky.With its star-shining body and moonlight texture, it's an irreplaceable soothing agent!Once, when Sifanyir was in Changhu Town, he lived upstairs in a human family with 8 children. Every day, he listened to the group of children arguing from the rising of the sun to the moon to Tianxin, usually brought by the older children. Little children, boys and girls, full of vitality and destruction, she always wanted to give their mothers who were always in a nervous breakdown a bottle of Xingyue herbal potion.Of course, not every star and moon grass can achieve the best effect. The longer the star and moon grass, the better the medicinal effect. For example, the reward order requires more than 200 years.In the wild, very few can meet this requirement.

But O Vera, I praise you!Sifanyil looked at the plant in front of him full of the light of the stars and the moon, wishing to fly with joy, especially in the face of the first two failures, the third discovery was simply a godsend!

Svanil took out the silver knife, she was going to mow the grass...

Aw————

A huge shadow swayed over Svanil's head, and the sudden fluctuation of the air blew her long blond hair. She drew out her long sword with a swish, and squinted at the tall... Falcon?

Immediately afterwards, the gray falcon was no longer important, Vera, what did she see!That black-haired male elf! !Svanil can't wait to hold his breath! ! !

The two pairs of eyes met in the vast grassland at night, sparks crackled and flashed at the intersection of the eyes, and Svanil's eyes wished to burn two holes in the body of the opposite elf!

Before Elrond could speak, he heard the question from the person on the other side, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth: "I guess, this time it's the star and moon grass?" His eyebrows were raised dangerously.

Elrond glanced at the innocent herbs on the ground, and then at the female elf who was on the verge of going berserk in front of him. The word "yes" couldn't be said anyway.He thought for a while: "Please let me do something for you!"

As if being slapped hard by an invisible plank, Svanil leaned back.Then, she slowly picked up the long sword, and slowly put it into the scabbard.Turn around, step up, go.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Elrond quickly jumped off the giant falcon and chased after her, "Miss Svanil..."

Svanil turned around sharply, grabbed the oncoming blue collar with his right hand, and forced Elrond, who was more than a head taller than her, to his eyes!Obviously, Elrond's "Miss Svanil" ignited the "dynamite bag" of Svanil...

"You—you!" Svanil grabbed the collar of the elf facing him with one hand, and hit his chest fiercely with the other.

"Call……"

"My name is Elrond..."

"It's not important!" Svanil's eyes can now be called fierce, "The important thing is that it's you. I've had nothing good since I met you! First it was the windblossom, then the mushroom under the tree, and now I want Xingyue again Grass, you have no end! Don't look at me with that kind of eyes! It's your business to save people, your business is important, and mine is not important!?" Sifan Yier couldn't help raising his voice, " My new clothes, new jewelry, strawberry pie, warm house, birthday presents for my father and brother, are all ruined by you!" The huge gray falcon wailed in agreement.

In the face of such violent tsunami-like anger, Elrond maintained a calm expression, even in the state of being grabbed by the collar, it is worthy of the wind and waves...

"Miss Sveil..."

Svanil pushed Elrond away, turned around and left, she felt that looking at that face again, she couldn't help but kick her!

"If I can do what you just said, I hope you can forgive me for my many offenses!"

Svanil kept walking.

"High-quality clothes, exquisite jewelry, delicious food, comfortable and comfortable rooms, and of course, gifts from your loved ones, as long as I have... I will try my best to do it for you!"

Svanil stopped, the temptation was too great!But at this time, the thing called "reason" hadn't left her brain, she took a deep breath, turned sideways, "How do you do it?"

"I live at the Palace of Jamenelos, you know."

"That's the palace of the Númenorans, the territory of humans, and you, an elf!" Svanil's eyes were sharp.

The male elf on the opposite side lowered his head slightly, but when he heard Svanil's words, he raised his black eyes.The sky is high and the land is vast, the galaxy in the sky is brilliant, and the ground is an endless grassland.In midsummer, the dense grass grows to the calf, and the warm wind blowing from the south makes the whole piece of green grass nod neatly.On the grassland, the male elf with black hair and blue clothes on the opposite side is starlight all over the sky behind him, and the brightest ones fall in his eyes.

"Yes, they are human beings, but I am an elf." The voice was clear.

The sharp expression on Svanil's face gradually disappeared, and she suddenly felt a hint of loneliness for some reason, like the rising smoke when the firewood was just extinguished.

For a while, the two elves were silent.

In the end, it was Elrond who reacted first and broke the silence: "So, are you willing to come with me?" He leaned forward, stretched out his right hand forward, and made an inviting gesture.

Svanil's pale blue eyes met his inky eyes.

The author has something to say: 1. Let me explain here. Everyone knows that Elrond and his younger brother have the right to choose to become elves or humans.Elrond chose Elves, his brother chose Men.His younger brother Elros built a city in Yamenelos, established the Kingdom of Numenor, and became the emperor.Therefore, Elrond and the royal family of Númenor are related by blood.Judging from the time of this article, Elrond’s younger brother has passed away (second era 442), and the current reigning emperor, I made up his name (I didn’t find the chronicle, if anyone knows tell me lifetime, I was able to fix that).

2. The second question is where Elrond lives.

In the city of Yamineros, the center of the city is the royal palace, where the emperor lives.Here I made up a palace for picking stars. Of course, this palace is not completely fabricated. In the original book, it is said that there is a high tower castle in the palace.Elrond is highly respected (according to seniority, the child of Elrond's younger brother should be Elrond's nephew, and the current emperor is the son of the son of Elrond's nephew's son...), and he has great respect for Elrond. The sky has been studied in depth, and it is normal to live in the tallest building in the palace.So the author took the name of "Zhaixingdian" ~ a place for him to live.
