[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Due to Exilion's cautiousness, Romemos' intention to find out the entrance of Gondolin failed again, but this was also expected by Romemos, so she didn't feel frustrated at all, only in her heart After cursing Exilion for a few words, she planned a new plan, and on the surface, she was even more docile to the extreme, allowing Exilion to blindfold her without any objection.

At any rate, she came out of Gondolin, and it was all to be done by ear.

According to Turgon, he hoped that the three of Glorfindel could send Arisil to their elder brother Fingon, but Arisil was unwilling to listen to the advice of Turgon and Exilion and insisted on To go to Celegorm and Curufin—the two sons of Feanor she had been best with in Valinor.

However, if you want to go to the domain of Celegorm and Curufin, if you can't pass through Doriath surrounded by the Melian Ring, you can only walk along the border of the Melian Ring. The guards of Doriath He pointed out the fastest way for Arisil, and warned her that it was very dangerous, because in the ravine near that way lived the offspring of the murderous Angolion.

But Arisil was as strong and brave as all the children of Finwë, and she feared nothing of what the Wardens of Doriath described, and at once resolved to go that way.

Glorfindel was reluctant, and argued with Arethel.

"Please think about others, princess! If only the three of us followed you, we would be fine even if you were going to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, but now Lan Wen is here too! She is a child who has no ability to protect herself. In case What should I do if something happened?"

"We just need to be careful and don't disturb those things." Ya Ruishi disapproved, "Even if it is really unfortunate, at worst, the three of you should protect Lan Wen, and I can protect myself."

"How is this possible?! You..." Glorfindel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to say something, but Romemos tugged on his sleeve.

"It's okay, if Princess Yarisil wants to go, let's go that way." Romimos gestured, in fact, she couldn't wish for it, because a new bad idea had already been formed in her mind.

Ya Ruishi was very proud: "Look, Glorfindel, Lan Wen is much braver than you."

"Oh." Glorfindel touched Romimos's head, angry and pitiful, "You are still young, Lan Wen, you don't know how dangerous those giant spiders are."

"Glorfindel, you will protect me, won't you?" Romimos blinked his big watery eyes, looking innocent and cute.

"Of course I will, but just in case..."

"If you care about it, you will be in chaos, for fear that something will happen to your girl." Ya Ruixie covered her lips and smiled lightly, "How can there be so many contingencies?"

There's none?That's not necessarily the case.Romemos lowered her head, her long and thick eyelashes concealed the emotion in her eyes.Even if there is no such thing, she will create an "in case".

In the end, under Yarisil's stubborn opinion and Romimos' help, the three of Glorfindel still reluctantly walked towards the canyon infested by monsters, and as soon as they entered that area, they immediately felt a sense of dread. Thick shadows enveloped them.

"Oh, the situation here seems to be a little bit bad." Ya Ruixier whispered something, at this time she also regretted a little, but because of face, she couldn't say anything about turning back.

"It's okay, just go through this section." Glorfindel comforted Romemus in a low voice. He was very tall. Romemus sat in front of him, and the top of his head could reach Glorfin Del's jaw, and at the same time she felt Glorfindel's hand tightening around her.

So Romemos also nodded obediently.

Although the group wanted to cross this disturbing canyon as soon as possible, they had to slow down to avoid the descendants of Angolian being disturbed by the sound of horses' hooves.

When they finally reached the middle part of the canyon, Ya Ruishi suddenly let out a scream, and a huge black giant spider hung above her head without a sound, and its pointed beak was already aimed at she.Agamos turned around quickly and shot an arrow, which hit the spider's head. The spider fell from the cliff without a hum, and fell to the ground with its belly upside down.

But this was just the beginning, with a goosebump-squeaking sound, more and more giant spiders began to gather here, and soon both sides of the cliff were almost covered with this disgusting spider. The creatures are densely packed black as far as the eye can see.

"So many?! How could these ghosts multiply so fast?" Agamos said incredulously, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Exilion also frowned, and his whole body tensed up: "Let's move forward at full speed, let's rush out of this section first. Agamos, you and I should protect the princess. Glorfindel, take care of Lan Wen."

There is no need for him to say these words, as early as the moment Yarisil called out, Glorfindel suddenly pulled Romimos over like a conditioned reflex, and Romimos frowned so hard. , but she still cooperatively pretended to be terrified, and shrank back into Glorfindel's arms.

"It's okay, it's okay." Although the situation seemed very bad, and Glorfindel's face turned pale, he still whispered in Romimos' ear to comfort her, over and over again, gently and firmly, "I will definitely take you out."

But those huge spiders were getting closer and closer to them, and the circle they formed was getting smaller and smaller. They stopped about ten meters away from Ya Ruixier and his party, and seemed to be looking at them tentatively. Prey that broke in.

At such a short distance, Exilion and the others can kill one or two with one arrow with their eyes closed, but there are too many opponents. Weapons confronted them, and the situation stalemate for a moment.

After a while, some spiders started to move around, and one of them suddenly jumped from the cliff without any warning, and jumped directly over the top of Agmos's head to Arisil. Arisil was startled, but she reacted quickly , subconsciously released an arrow, and shot the spider to death.

It was like accidentally pinching the first wasp in a beehive to death. A very small number of spiders were frightened and did not dare to move, and most of them continued to wait and see where they were, but some seemed to think that the elves However, it began to slowly push towards them.

Cold sweat broke out on Ya Ruishi's head. "What should I do?" she asked helplessly.

There were three arrows on Agamose's bow, but he didn't know where to aim at this moment.

Glorfindel tightly held the unsheathed long sword in one hand, and protected Romimos with the other. Looking at these spiders that couldn't be killed, he was helpless for a while.

Exilion and Egamos cleaned up the first batch of spiders that surrounded them, but more and more spiders were waiting for an opportunity, and their arrows and physical strength were getting less and less. It was no way to continue like this.

Just as Glorfindel's full attention was on those spiders and Arisil, he suddenly felt someone tug on his clothes.

"Let's talk about something later, okay?" Glorfindel had no time to think about anything else right now.

But the hand never stopped.

"Hey, don't make trouble now." Glorfindel still didn't look down at Romimos.

Then in the next second, Glorfindel felt a small hand get into his lapel, which startled him.

"Lan Wen! What are you doing?!" Glorfindel scolded in a low voice.

Lan Wen still looked innocent, touched for a while, and finally took out two flints from Glorfindel.

Glorfindel was stunned for a moment when he saw the two small stones, and then suddenly came to his senses, saying that his brain was really funny, he didn't think of such a simple thing.

but……

Glorfindel looked down at Lan Wen, who was looking up at him with a pair of big eyes triumphantly begging for praise. The itchy touch on his chest seemed to be still there, but he could only praise with difficulty: "Well done!" .”

Exilion killed batch after batch of giant spiders, and the sword in his hand had been dyed blue-black, but he still couldn't see the end of the black sea of ​​spiders.

How can there be so many?He subconsciously felt something was wrong, but before he could think it through, Glorfindel suddenly called out behind him.

"Eck, get out of the way!"

Exilion subconsciously dodged to the side, and Glorfindel rushed up brandishing the simple torch he made hastily just now. Those dark creatures were indeed extremely afraid of the fire, and wherever Glorfindel went, the spiders hurriedly retreated. They moved, but they didn't run away, they only retreated to a place where the light of the fire could not reach, and then stopped, continuing to stare at them.

Yarisil and Agamos breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but Exilion still had a stern expression.

"This is not a long-term solution," he said to Glorfindel. "These things are not dead."

Glorfindel nodded: "The dead branches are limited in places where the birds don't come, and the grease we bring won't last long."

Exilion frowned and thought for a while, then quickly made a decision: "Princess, we will use fire to open a way for you, and you should rush out as soon as possible."

Ya Ruishi turned pale, but disagreed: "I can't leave you and run away."

"Now is not the time to be arrogant, princess! Only when you are safe will we have no worries." Exilion snapped, "You take Lan Wen away first, and we will go find you later."

Lan Wen was stunned for a moment when she heard Exilion's words, then shook her head repeatedly, pursed her lips, and held Glorfindel tightly and refused to let go.

"I'm not going, I don't want to go!" Her lips said.

"Be obedient, now is not the time to lose your temper." Glorfindel's tone was very gentle, but he hugged Lan Wen in his arms without any compromise, and sent her to Ya Ruishi's horse.

Big drops of tears welled up from Lan Wen's eyes. She looked at Glorfindel with eyes like a wronged child. Just now she was surrounded by giant spiders and didn't shed a single tear, but now she cried She is a tearful person, but even so she is extremely beautiful, like a white pear blossom wet by rain and dew, so lovely and pitiful.

"I'll find you right away." Glorfindel wiped away Lan Wen's tears and assured her that before he could withdraw his outstretched hand, Agamose lit an arrow and shot it at the spider. In the group, the frontmost spiders dodged in fright and opened a gap. Exilion took the opportunity to lash Yarisil's horse quickly. The horse neighed, raised its hooves and ran away. Watching those spiders rush out a hundred meters.

Lan Wen looked back subconsciously, but her eyes were captivated by tears and flying hair. Before she could see the figures of the three lords behind, the heavy stone walls blocked her sight.

Arisil took Romimos all the way and rushed out of this terrible canyon full of spiders, and rushed straight to a safe forest on the border of Doriath.

"Let's just wait for them here." Yarisil reined in the exhausted horse, and looked back expectantly, "Maybe Glorfindel and the others will come here soon."

So Romimos also looked eagerly at the direction they were running towards, as if he was really looking forward to seeing the figures of the three lords.

However, the real number of spiders in that canyon was only about one-third of what they saw, and the rest was an illusion created by Romimos' illusion, because she knew very well that once Exilion they thought the situation was critical When it is impossible for everyone to escape together, Ya Ruishi will definitely let her go first. In this way, her goal of separating Ya Ruishi from the three people will be achieved, and how can she let the three people catch up again? Sabotage your own plans?

So Romimos cast other spells in that canyon. Even if Exilion and the others managed to escape from the spider nest, they would be confused by her Romimos illusion and could not find Yarisi. The right direction for Er to escape.

In this way, at least in the short term, she and Yarisil would never see the three elves again.
