[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Lan Wen's wounds heal very slowly, and her self-healing ability is not even much stronger than that of humans, let alone compared with the strong Noldor elves. Ya Ruixier pity her weak children, and it is not very often during that time Go out and wander, but stay at Iao's house with Lan Wen.

Lan Wen still loves to run to Iao's workshop as always, Ya Ruixier has nothing to do, and has nothing to say to those gloomy servants in Iao's house, so she simply went with Lan Wen.

As a princess of the Noldor family who is proficient in creation and craftsmanship, Arisil is not completely ignorant and interested in smelting and forging, but compared with Io and Romimos, she is really nothing, so at first Her opinions and ideas sounded either stale and dull to Io, or childish enough to make him want to laugh.

But less than two months later, Io clearly felt the transformation of Yarisil, and she came up with more and more fresh and wonderful ideas, some of which even coincided with Io, which made Io O was very surprised.

Ya Ruishi can have such a change obviously not because she is a natural genius, but the result of Romimos behind the scenes.

With Romimoth's learning ability, after staying with Morgoth and Sauron for so long, it is not surprising that she will become a master of language deceit, just like those two dark lords, how to skillfully use Words have always been one of Romimoth's forte to infuse his own thoughts into the heads of others without them noticing.

During the daily communication with Yarisil, Romemos would occasionally mention the forging techniques or other things that Io would definitely be interested in. Of course, the words were so vague that Yarisil could not perceive the deep meaning at that time. But as long as those words left even an extremely vague impression in her mind, that's enough. When Io happened to talk about related topics, Ya Ruishi would subconsciously express Luo Mi Moss' views and opinions.

Io was naturally pleasantly surprised by this, he hadn't had such a tacit understanding with anyone for a long time, and only Romimus could fully understand and support all his creations in the past.

"Do you know a Maia named Romimos?" Io asked Arethel.

"You mean Romimus? I've heard of her, but we've never met." Yarisil answered him, frowning in disgust. "She used to be the god who guarded Morgoth, but was later Corrupted and corrupted, Morgoth fled to Middle-earth after collaborating with him in destroying the Two Trees of Valinor."

Io was silent for a long time after listening to Arisil's account of what Romimos had done in Aman.

If it was two months ago, he would never have thought about these things, because at that time he still had an almost fanatical obsession with Romemus, and all the evil deeds and shortcomings of Romemus seemed to Io It's all justifiable, after all, he himself is not a kind person, and Io and Romimos are exactly the same in terms of using any means to achieve their goals.

Io once thought that there would never be another woman in the world who could understand him and always inspire him like Romemos, so he took it for granted that they were a perfect match, but now the situation is different, Arisil Arrival changed everything.

When it comes to the most professional craftsmanship knowledge and skills, Ya Ruishi is of course far inferior to Romemos. Romemos can judge any piece of metal or gemstone within ten seconds just by observing with his eyes and feel. The approximate composition, purity, and even the place of origin and polishing method.If Io really wants to have an in-depth discussion with Yarisil on this, then Yarisil will definitely show his timidity. , Yarisil can always inadvertently give Io hints because of Romimos' hints, and sometimes even Yarisil doesn't know that Io gets inspiration from his own words.

In this way, Romemos was no longer unique and irreplaceable to Io, so Io's enthusiasm for her quickly faded, because he gave up what he had to others. It was unbearable for Io, and Romimos was too difficult to control. Although she had promised that she would return to Io, how long would it take?She never gave Io a clear time limit, it may be decades, or it may be hundreds or thousands of years. Io feels that he may go crazy before that time. Much easier.

Once Io has the desire to get Arisil, then Romimos doesn't need to intervene in the next thing, and Io will have a way to achieve his goal, no matter whether it is despicable or not.

Three months later, the sprain on Lan Wen's foot finally fully healed, but she never left Nan Elmos for a period of time in the future, because Io married Ya Ruishi as his wife, and it was another year Many years later, their son Meglin was born.

So far, Romimos has finally committed an irreparable crime, but this is only the beginning of everything, because Romimos has no guilt for what he has done at this time.

Although Yarisil was tricked into marrying Io, but in the initial period, she couldn't see Io's dangerous nature, and was even attracted by his pretended empathy; When Io went out or was busy with work and had no time to take care of her, Maeglin and Lanwen were by her side. As a result, Yarisil lived contentedly in South Elmos for nearly a hundred years, and never thought of paying tribute back. Dorin's trip, the passage of decades seems nothing to the elves.

The reason why I say "seems" is because time has not forgotten this deep and towering ancient forest. Most of the trees and elves here have remained unchanged for decades, and in the few changes visible to the naked eye, Lan Wen The growth is definitely one of the most amazing.

Even among the elves, Lan Wen can be regarded as growing very slowly. Among the children of the same age, she always looks the youngest one. Glorfindel and the others used to worry whether Lan Wen's body was born with some defects , as if she was born unable to speak, but now it seems that she is just a late bloomer. When the time comes, she will bloom quickly like a flower branch full of water and nutrients.

Maybe it's because her height has grown too fast. Lan Wen looks thinner than before when she is fully grown. After shedding the baby fat of her teenage years, there is almost no flesh on her cheeks, which makes her face look thinner. The lines on the inside have a little boyish heroism.

But Lan Wen's beauty is still the soft beauty that only belongs to women, because such charming eyebrows and eyes can never appear on a man's face. Lan Wen's eyebrows are thick and delicate, and the slightly raised eye ends are more slender than when they were few. Her skin is already fair, even no less than that of the white princess Ya Ruixier. The faint crimson at the corner of her eyes is particularly eye-catching, coupled with her rare golden pupils, and a point under the corner of her bright red lips. Little Mole, her beauty is almost breathtaking.

Even the indifferent servants in Io's house, although they never said it, none of them did not recognize and praise Lan Wen's beauty in their hearts, and even thought that she was not inferior to the most beautiful Princess Lucian among the elves.

But the beauty of Lan Wen and the beauty of Lucien Tinuviel are two completely different kinds of beauty. Later generations who witnessed the two styles once commented: "Princess Lucien's beauty is beautiful, pure, and makes people feel beautiful. She is synonymous with beauty if she admires but does not dare to have a blasphemous heart; and Lanwen Iluana, there is no doubt that she can also be called beautiful, and she is very beautiful, but when I first saw her, I There is a strange sense of disobedience, it seems that it should not belong to the beauty of an elf."

The beauty of elves should be holy. It seems that a little bit of desire will defile them. Lan Wen's beauty is too "indecent" for elves.

Fortunately and unfortunately, Lan Wen also has a pair of charming eyes.

"If you look at her for ten seconds, you will involuntarily have the illusion that she loves you deeply; if you look at her for 20 seconds, it seems that there is nothing in the world except you and her; and if you can Stare at her for 30 seconds, and suddenly you realize that there is nothing in her eyes looking at you. Her eyes are so beautiful because they are just so beautiful, and it has nothing to do with who you are looking at. Her Beauty itself is pure and without a hint of seduction, and it is us mortals who should be ashamed of her beauty."

Although Lan Wen's transformation is so rapid, the growth of Meglin, the son of Io and Arisil, is more obvious than her. In less than 40 years, Meglin's height surpassed Lan Wen by a large margin, almost It's no different from a grown male elf.He looks exactly like his mother Yarisil, his hair and eyes are as black as ink, but his complexion is pale, which makes him look a bit gloomy, but Meglin is indeed not a cheerful person, his temper is exactly the same as his father, Gloomy and habitually silent.

When Meglin grew up, he soon became an excellent craftsman not inferior to his father, because like Romimos, Meglin also had a natural thirst for knowledge, but he was more specific than Romimos. Well, compared to Romimos's "meat and vegetables", Meglin obviously showed a preference for casting, metallurgy and other crafts, most of which he learned from Io and the dwarves, A small part was suggested by Romemus.

Even so, Meglin and Io are not as close as an ordinary father and son. Except for working in the workshop or visiting the city-state of the dwarves together, Maglin seldom gets along with Io alone. I prefer to stay with Lan Wen.

For Meglin, Lan Wen is undoubtedly a relatively special existence. When he was still very young, he once thought that Lan Wen was his own sister, even though later he understood that Lan Wen and him had no relationship. Regardless of blood relationship, for a while, he still likes to cling to her, because Lan Wen is beautiful and always has many novel stories and ideas.

But as Meglin grows up and knows more and more things, he no longer loves Lan Wen's side as much as he did when he was a child. Lan Wen only thinks this is a normal behavior of an adolescent boy and doesn't take it to heart , but in fact this is not the whole reason.

Romimos is keen to learn everything from everyone and everything. Almost everyone knows this, but at the same time, she is not afraid to pass on what she knows to others. In fact, she is a bit of a teacher. , because nothing surprises her more than when others, having understood what she taught them, come up with their own ideas. Identity, almost greedily started a new round of learning.

Meglin is still very young, but he is studious and smart, perhaps the best of all Romemos' students, and if Romemos doesn't want to hide his true identity, then Meglin learned from her should have been much more.

However, Meglin didn't know Romimos. The Lanwen he knew was just an ordinary elf woman. Although she had a powerful aura, she was far from the wisdom that Romimos had accumulated for thousands of years.

Due to this identity, Romimos obviously couldn't impart his knowledge to Meglin in an open and honest manner. He could only do what he did to Arisil back then, when Meglin encountered a bottleneck that he couldn't easily overcome for a while. , pretending to give some tactful hints inadvertently.

However, Romemos still underestimated Meglin. Ya Ruishi didn't feel the deep meaning of Romemos back then, because she herself knew little about forging and metallurgy, and Meglin was an expert, and what he was best at One of them is to discern the intentions and secrets behind others' vague words.

Once I can praise her for being smart, twice I hit the wrong target, but three times or four times, the other party can always guess what I think in my heart and give her help appropriately. It's really strange that Meglin doesn't suspect the seemingly naive Lan Wen.

Even so, Meglin never mentioned Lan Wen's eccentricity to anyone, nor asked Romimos about her own doubts (Meglin should be thankful for this, otherwise he probably wouldn't live to be an adult), faintly, Meglin has already noticed another side of Lan Wen that is unknown, and instinctively felt a little awe.

Although Meglin and Lan Wen were not as close as they were when they were young, they were not estranged. Meglin was indeed attracted by the knowledge that Romimos taught him—what Romimos was willing to teach him was of course that he had never been estranged. Io and the dwarves cannot learn.At first he was interested in hearing all the stories that Lanwen told, but then he especially wanted to hear about his mother's people, the Noldor. Wen actually doesn't know much about the Noldor elves. The only thing she can tell Maeglin is the things in Gondolin where she has lived for decades.

So Meglin began to be dissatisfied with what Lan Wen could tell him, he was eager to know more about the deeds of the Noldor elves, and he told Arisil his wish, of course Arisil was willing to let his son know about his mother's people. Acting heroically, she told him her past life without reservation: she defied the will of the gods, crossed the ice gorge with her father and brother to Middle Continent, her people built many splendid city-states here, and the tribute Dorling is one of the most beautiful...

As Yarisil talked, she gradually fell into deep thought. She began to miss her relatives, as well as the sunshine, breeze and grassland beyond the shadows. Can not help but give birth to a sense of disgust.

She wanted to go back to Gondolin.

And this was exactly what Romimos wanted.
