[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Hearing such explosive news at first, even Romimos couldn't help but stay for a while.

It's not that she thinks that Glorfindel can't get married. Speaking of which, he is indeed a big man. There are not a few elves who have identified their lifelong partners when they are in their 51st century. What went wrong, everyone seems to be struggling not to get married, looking around, except for the younger Meglin, who is not an "older guy/man" who has been single for thousands of years, making Romimos Inexplicably worried that Meglin might also be led astray by them.

As for Idril, there is no problem. If there is any female charm in Gondolin that can make Romimus feel threatened, it is only the silver-footed princess Celebrindo.

Meglin watched Romimos meditate for a while, then she raised her head, Meglin thought she would see her frightened expression, and she might even rush out to find Glorfindel immediately, and question him unceremoniously the news.

However, none of that happened, and Romemos was very calm: "I see. Then let's continue with what we didn't finish yesterday."

Meglin's eyes widened in disbelief: "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry? Why?"

"I thought..." Meglin hesitated for a moment, he usually didn't dare to talk to Romimos like this, but maybe the news of Idril's marriage proposal made him dizzy, and he couldn't help it after a second blurted out, "I thought you loved him!"

Romemos looked at him with a half-smile.

"Then you 'thought' wrong, I don't love Glorfindel." She carefully observed even the slightest expression on Maeglin's face, "Your reaction was much more intense than I expected, Mae Green, don't you want Princess Idril to marry Glorfindel?"

Meglin felt as if his heart had been seized by Romimos. Her probing gaze made him invisible, and it took him a lot of effort to speak calmly: "Should I hope?"

"Of course." Romimos analyzed for Meglin, "The Noldor elves have never had women have the right to inherit the throne. If His Majesty Turgon abdicates for some reason, then the next king of Gondolin is very likely. Your Majesty Turgon probably thinks so too. He trusts you and even trains you as his successor. You now have a certain prestige in Gondolin, but because of your father Io, there are still A few people don't accept you very much; on the contrary, Glorfindel is quite popular throughout Gondolin, and he has a good relationship with other lords. If he becomes your brother-in-law, he will become your brother-in-law in the future A big help."

"I don't need his help." Meglin was a little excited, "I can do it myself!"

"It seems that you really can't accept that the two of them might get married at all." Romemos raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "Why is that? Could it be the instinct of a younger brother seeing his sister marrying another man?" Displeased? Your feelings for Princess Idriel are beyond my expectation, and blood is thicker than water, which makes me a little sad."

"...Let's continue with yesterday's work." Meglin didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, he turned around like a cover-up, took a forging hammer hanging on the wall and handed it to Romemos.

Regarding the fact that Lan Wen has made some achievements in forging, it is still a secret in the whole of Gondolin. Turgon does not know, Glorfindel does not know, even watching Lan Wen come and go freely in the mole family every day. All the craftsmen thought she was here to visit Meglin.

Romemos also has no will to make any surprising achievements as Lan Wen. She has dabbled in and even excelled in a wide range of fields, because one of her former teachers is the most knowledgeable of all Ainu But "Lan Wen" shouldn't be like this, Lan Wen is just a young ordinary elf, there is not much outstanding except for her natural beauty Compassion plays a great role, but it is useless or even a bit cumbersome at other times. Being too conspicuous in Gondolin is not what Romimos wanted. Well, if she doesn't do it right, she will reveal her secrets.

Moreover, even if Lan Wen really wanted to show some outstanding skills, Romimos would never choose forging. There are too few female elves who are good at forging and smelting metal. Although no one has ever said that women cannot do these things, on the one hand, iron and fire are not what most women are interested in. On the other hand, Romimos personally I think that the biological differences between men and women also prevent some women from devoting themselves to this powerful art. Fortunately, she is Maya. Although choosing a body that is visible to the naked eye will somewhat restrict her true power, if Luo Mi Moss is willing, and the energy she can display will never lose to a strong and strong grown man.

As for Lan Wen, she is a slender and weak woman who seems to be blown away by a slightly stronger wind. If the elves know that such a power is contained in this thin and small body, I am afraid that every chin will be shocked. Lose.

So all Gondolin, nay, all Arda, except Io the dead, was the only one who knew that Romimus could forge, and only his son Maeglin, who even taught this knowledge to him himself. Melkor of Romemos is actually not very clear about how much talent Romemos has in this area.

As for why Romimoth showed this side in front of Meglin, it was because Romimoth was really tired of playing "Lanwen" who had no elves but beauty, and her desire to create every day In her heart, she clamored for her to practice the new inspiration in her mind, but rationality suppressed her from showing her edge too much, so she could only go to Meglin's side to drink poison to quench her thirst when she couldn't help it, and tried her best As before, she hinted at Meglin's new ideas, and eagerly hoped that she could use Meglin's hands to realize her own ideas.

Once, Romemos thought of another idea that she thought was brilliant, and she excitedly ran over to Meglin, and vaguely mentioned her idea to him as if unintentionally, Meglin was indeed a smart child, and she definitely Most of the time he was quickest to grasp what Romemus wanted him to think.

But there were times when Meglin made Romemus wonder if there was rust in his head, like that time.

When they were about to succeed, they encountered a rather small bottleneck. Romemos admitted that she did not fully consider that problem in advance, which led to the complete failure of that experiment, but she quickly came up with a remedy , and gave Meglin a prompt at the first time.

However, at this time, Meglin couldn't grasp the real intention of Romemos for some reason. His grinding method remained unchanged and improved, and he failed seven times with the same method!seven times!Seven good rough stones became a pile of waste because of his stupidity!Romemos felt her heart was bleeding for this, and her hints had to become more and more obvious, and in the end, if it wasn't for being unable to speak, she would have wanted to yell at Meglin by the ear: You he Do you know forging? !

"Well, I've tried all kinds of methods." Meglin threw the hammer irritably, as if it was broken. "It seems that there is no way to solve this problem in the short term."

Bah, all kinds of methods, after all, the essence is still a method, only the devil can succeed, and rotten wood cannot be carved, Romimos sighed in her heart, but seeing that success is close at hand, she absolutely cannot bear to live in this place. Time fell short.

"Ah, I seem to have seen what Io does at this time before." When Meglin was about to extinguish the fire in the smelting furnace, Romemos pulled him back, and then she almost put the whole set of specific methods Explained it to Meglin in detail, "...it seems to be the same thing, do you understand what I mean?"

Meglin nodded half-understanding, then shook her head.

"..." The veins on Romimos's forehead twitched. Was this guy trying to play dumb with her on purpose?

"I seem to understand a little bit, but I'm not entirely sure." Meglin frowned, and suddenly looked at Romemos, "Otherwise, Lan Wen, why don't you come and try?"

"Ah?" Romimos blinked blankly and waved his hands again and again, "Stop teasing me, Meglin, how could I know these things."

"Didn't you just tell me what to do?"

"That's just what I saw Io do by accident, how could it be possible for me to do it—" Romimos racked his brains to find an excuse to push himself out, but the more he said, the more he felt that his reason was solid. It was too far-fetched, and after hesitating for a long time, she suddenly stopped and narrowed her eyes.

This kid, he did it on purpose.

It's not that he didn't understand what Romemos meant, maybe even Meglin understood it when she reminded him for the first time, even so, he pretended to be stupid with Romemos, and even used it seven times The failure forced Romemus to speak out the solution himself.

I'm afraid that Meglin has long been aware of his unusualness, but he underestimated him.

Romemos raised his head and looked at Meglin expressionlessly. Under her gaze, Meglin obviously became stiff. Although he didn't really know who the other party was, this unknown made him Get more nervous.This is probably the nature of human beings. They try their best to understand things that they cannot grasp, and when they finally touch the edge, they shrink back instinctively.

"I don't mean anything else." Meglin licked her lips subconsciously, and pretended to be calm, "But you, Lan Wen, have lived with my father in South Elmos for so many years, so you know how to forge Nothing to be surprised about."

This is talking nonsense with open eyes. Meglin has almost learned all the skills of Io. He knows exactly what his father has. When it comes to forging metal and swords, Io is indeed one of the best masters in the entire Middle-earth. But in other In terms of aspects, Romemos is not much inferior to Io, and even in pure theory, she may know more than Io. If she lives with Io for a hundred years, she can reach the level of Luo Mi in forging skills and knowledge. At Moss' level, there is no other explanation except that Romimos is a genius.

"If I do know something about forging." Romimos looked unpredictable, "What do you think?"

Of course, Meglin can tell Turgon and Glorfindel that she doubts Lan Wen's true identity, because her wisdom is definitely not what such a young elf woman should have.

However, although Meglin guessed that Lan Wen was not as innocent as she appeared on the surface, like the other lords of Gondolin, she never expected that she would be from Angband. Dorin's understanding and Gondolin's defenselessness towards her, if she really wanted to harm them, Gondolin would have perished 100 years ago.

In fact, Meglin thought that Lan Wen was like Sorondo, the eyes of a certain Vera or Maia, but Sorondo was an angel on the bright side, while Lan Wen hid her true identity , living with the elves, secretly monitoring their every move.

If so, Meglin would definitely not be able to expose Romimos, because that was God's will.

Besides, Meglin also has his own selfishness, because of the shady desire in his heart, he began to crazily pursue all kinds of power, and Romimos' vague hints could no longer satisfy him, and he longed to be more powerful. Quickly gain more knowledge from her, so as to gain more power in Gondolin, but Romimos' true identity is not what he cares about the most. If he accidentally touches the bottom line and annoys the other party, To leave Gondolin forever in a fit of anger is not worth the candle.

"I will never ask you for what you can't give me." Meglin replied to Romemus, "but you have been helping me secretly all this time, haven't you? Now when there are only two of us, you don't need Don't be so cautious anymore. We can discuss and exchange various skills together, I think this should be what you have hoped for a long time."

Romimos was silent for a long time, then suddenly showed a sarcasm smile: "I didn't think so before, you and your father are so much alike, Meglin, no, you are much smarter than him."

Meglin didn't know what happened between Romimos and Io, and he didn't understand what Romimos said, but he also knew that Romimos didn't like his father, so he suddenly became nervous , thinking that he still failed to convince the other party.

But Romemos picked up the forging hammer that he had thrown aside just now, walked to the workbench, and held up——

A hammer is fixed.
