[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Glorfindel spent a lot of talking and talking to convince Turgon that he absolutely didn't have the kind of thoughts he thought he had about Princess Idril. As a result, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon when he came out from Turgon's place. up.

And in the end, he didn't ask Turgon what to do if his relatives—or at least girls who valued them as much as his relatives—could not be liked by the one he loved.

But these were not the worst. When Glorfindel returned home and asked the maids at home about Lan Wen's whereabouts, the maids told him that Lan Wen hadn't come back yet.

Of course, Lan Wen is not a girl who is not worry-free. She has already explained to Glorfindel that if she has not returned before dark, it is likely that she will stay overnight at Maeglin's place. Meglin's relationship, this is not a big deal in the first place, Glorfindel would not have thought about it in the past.

But just yesterday, Lan Wen personally admitted that her "lover" was in the Mole family, which made Glorfindel restless.

Heck, it's not that he is so unreasonable that Lan Wen is not allowed to fall in love, but seeing each other every day, from the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, isn't that enough?What else do you want to do at night?

What's more, Lan Wen's boyfriend is too mysterious, Glorfindel can't guess who the other party will be, the only one who can see some signs is Meglin, thinking of this, Glorfindel feels like going to explode Well, his prejudice against Meglin might not be able to get rid of in this life.

Glorfindel finally held his breath before the sun would sink completely behind the mountains in the west.

"Excuse me, can dinner be prepared later?" He said apologetically to a maid, "I'm going to the Mole Family, and I may be back later."

"You're too polite." The maid slightly bent her body with an inexplicable smile, "Then do I still need to prepare Miss Lan Wen's portion?"

Glorfindel hesitated for half a second: "Of course, trouble."

Glorfindel rode his horse, and soon arrived at the Mole's House, and the people there were not too surprised to see him, although Glorfindel had visited him more times than he could count on one hand over the centuries, But anyone who knows a little bit about the Jinhua family can guess his purpose here.

"Lord Glorfindel." The guard at the door saluted him respectfully, "Are you here to find Miss Lanwen?"

"Yes." Glorfindel nodded, "Is she still here?"

"Yes, since Miss Lan Wen came here this morning, she has been staying in the workshop with Lord Maeglin and has not come out."

The veins on Glorfindel's forehead twitched uncontrollably.

He just knew it!That kid Meglin must be under the guise of retreating forged steel, cheating his superiors and concealing his intentions behind his back!

It's fine if Meglin is the only one like this. Glorfindel also knows that if these craftsmen really have some inspiration, it is possible to stay in the workshop for three days and three nights, let alone a whole day.

But what about Lan Wen?With Lan Wen's soft and quiet personality, how could she like a hot and noisy place like the workshop?It's possible to go in for a while, but if you stay for a whole day, if you say that Meglin didn't make a bad idea, is it because he dragged Lan Wen to play iron with him all day? !

"Do you want to see the two of them now? I'll let you know." The guard asked.

Glorfindel came back to his senses: "No, I can go there by myself. Is Lord Maeglin's workshop over there?"

The Mole family is versatile and skilled craftsmen, and most of them are good at mining and metal crafts. Therefore, in all the buildings of the Mole family, various workshops account for nearly one-third, and Meglin is the lord. , the location of the workshop is naturally the closest to the center, and Glorfindel found his destination without much effort.

There were no guards there. It was said that when Lan Wen was here, Meglin never let people guard outside, and no one was allowed to come in unless there was an urgent matter.It stands to reason that Glorfindel is also not acceptable, but firstly, his status is not higher than ordinary people, and secondly, his relationship with Lan Wen is extraordinary. The guard of the Mole family thought about it and acquiesced.

So sneaky, Glorfindel felt he couldn't do without suspicion.

He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and pushed open the door of Maeglin's workshop - of course all the anger was aimed at Maeglin, Lan Wen must be right, even if there was a mistake, it was also caused by Meglin, you said it was biased Whether it's good or prejudice, anyway, Glorfindel never thinks that his little girl has any bad thoughts in her heart, at least it still does.

Then Glorfindel's eyes widened in surprise, he almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, because until a second ago, he would not have seen the scene he saw now in his dreams - he was just annoyed I said it casually, but I never expected it to be right!

Lan Wen and Meglin were indeed in the workshop, maybe it was too noisy inside, or maybe they were too focused on the work at hand, neither of them noticed Glorfindel's silent visit at the first time .

Meglin used iron tongs to take out a piece of iron armor that had cooled and solidified from the mold, put it on the forging table, beat it a dozen times with a forging hammer, and then held it up to Lan Wen for her to see.

And Lan Wen observed carefully, then nodded, then shook her head, as if she felt that Meglin's actions were not satisfactory.

And then, Meglin actually handed the hammer to Lan Wen instead!What is this for?Do you want Lan Wen to fight? !

What made Glorfindel even more unbelievable was that Lan Wen actually took the hammer over!

Lan Wen didn't notice Glorfindel's arrival at all, all her attention was focused on the piece of metal in front of her at this moment, her expression was extremely serious, Glorfindel seemed to have never seen this serious look before Pass.

Lan Wen raised the hammer high, and she maintained that position for four or five seconds, with a focused expression like an eagle aiming at its prey, judging the position, force, and area of ​​the hammer.The originally snow-white skin was turned bright red by the fire, her long black hair was tied up, and there was a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

In an instant after that, a confident light flashed in her eyes, and she did not hesitate in her movements, she decisively struck down with a hammer, the movements were steady and precise, and at the same time, the strength of her hands was far beyond Glorfindel's imagination.For the convenience of work, Lan Wen's sleeves were rolled up to her shoulders. As she swung the hammer, Glorfindel could clearly see the muscle lines on her arms, and when the hammer collided with the metal, there was a crisp sound. When it rang, beads of sweat from Lan Wen's temples slid down her cheeks, and finally dripped down her graceful jawline.

Glorfindel swallowed involuntarily.

Romemos picked up the piece of iron armor polished and forged by her, and happily showed Meglin that her method did make up for some of the shortcomings of Meglin's previous method. After Meglin saw it, a rare look appeared on her face. He was overjoyed at first sight, but before he could smile, his expression suddenly changed to astonishment.

Romemos didn't understand at first, so he followed Meglin's gaze, and his expression froze immediately. The joy of success just now was thrown into the back of his mind, and his mind was full of thoughts...

Glorfindel? !How did he come here? !

For a long time, Romimos has played the role of Lan Wen conscientiously, especially in front of Glorfindel, she is always careful, portraying a beautiful, weak, cute and sweet, non-threatening woman She dared to pat her chest to assure that Glorfindel had absolutely no doubts about her.

But apart from hiding his true identity, there is actually another reason why Romimos puts so much effort into pretending: there should be no man who would dislike a girl like Lan Wen, right?

Romimos doesn't think that he is in love with Glorfindel, let alone marrying Glorfindel, so if Glorfindel really wants to marry any other woman, Romemos Nor would Sin be mad with rage--only that there would be no reason for her to stay in Gondolin any longer.

But Glorfindel's feelings for Romimos are indeed different. In any case, if Glorfindel also has a certain affection for him, Romimoth will never refuse and even be a little happy.

However, how to make the person you like also like you, even the elves and humans can't figure it out. As Maia, Romimos is even more at a loss about this.This kind of wonderful reaction between men and women is completely different from those knowledges such as forging or illusion. Romimos couldn't learn it even if he wanted to, let alone no one could teach her.In Romimos's view, love is really one of the most unfathomable concepts in all Iluvita's ideas in Arda, even no less than death, because just like Enu cannot experience real death, Vera It's not the same as Maia's so-called love and the love of elves and humans. Although it is not uncommon for gods and spirits to marry each other in Valinor, it is just a pure spiritual union based on matching personalities.As for elves and humans, even elves who are relatively ascetic, their "love" is always accompanied by "desire".

Among all the Enu who came to the world of Arda, only Maia Melian married an elf and gave birth to a daughter. Unfortunately, Romimos is not familiar with her, and she has not dealt with her a few times in Valinor. Queen Rheas had no chance of meeting her, and naturally she couldn't ask her what kind of mental journey she went through when she and Elu Tingle glanced at Wannian.

Although Romimos is ignorant of love and doesn't know what to do to please Glorfindel, but all the time, "Lanwen" seems to be quite qualified.As long as there is no big problem with her personality, there will never be fewer people who like a beauty like Lan Wen who is astonishing to heaven. Besides, Lan Wen is also considerate, gentle and pleasant. Looking at the whole of Gondolin, who can love her? It would melt my heart not to be looked at by those big and charming eyes, and Glorfindel has always loved her endlessly, even for his own sister.

But what should she do now? !How was she going to get Glorfindel to accept in a split second that the slender girl he had always thought was actually someone who would swing a hammer without batting an eye?How could she explain why she had kept this matter from him?

In fact, with Romimoth's ability to talk nonsense, once she calms down, she can make up eight sets of nonsense to perfunctory Glorfindel in five seconds, but now she is inexplicably flustered, and her mind is blank.

The scene fell into a strange silence, Meglin looked at Glorfindel, Glorfindel looked at Lan Wen, Meglin looked at Lan Wen, Lan Wen looked at Glorfindel...

In the end, it was Glorfindel who spoke first: "Lan Wen..."

There was a loud bang, Romemos lost his grip, and the hammer that was still in his hand came out, hitting her instep impartially, and she squatted down in pain, tears bursting down her cheeks. out.

This moment really shocked Meglin, even if it was a cruel trick, wouldn't it be too cruel for him?

If Romemos knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give this silly child two big eyes: Although the current situation is beyond her expectation, it is not serious enough for her to use self-harm to escape. ?It's embarrassing, but she just didn't catch it.

But no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, the effect of this trick was immediate. Glorfindel's question that was on his lips was instantly forgotten, and he quickly walked over and asked her nervously: "Are you okay?"

Romemos shook his head, but the tears still couldn't stop coming out of his eyes.

Tsk, the lacrimal glands in this body are too developed.

"Can you move that foot? Stand up?" Glorfindel asked.

Romimos made a judgment: the bone was nothing serious, but the blow was not light, as long as it moved a little, it hurt so much that I wanted to cry.Fortunately, she doesn't have the habit of not wearing shoes like Idril, otherwise it would be really miserable.

She shook her head again, and Glorfindel sighed, "Take off your shoes first, and see what happens."

He opened his hand towards Lan Wen, and Lan Wen hugged Glorfindel's neck, and was hugged.Meglin, who had been silent by the side and used as the background board, moved a high chair at this moment and let Romemos sit on it.

Although Meglin has always used Lan Wen as his shield, he has no and dare not have any thoughts about Lan Wen. He will be happy if Lan Wen is really with Glorfindel, and it will save him from being angry with Glo findel. Fendel and Idril may be getting engaged.

Glorfindel supported Lan Wen's calf with one hand, untied the strap of her shoe with the other hand, and carefully helped her take off the shoe. This was not an easy task, because Lan Wen's instep was already swollen Now, the shoes are a little tight, but if you use force on your hands, Lan Wen will tremble with pain.

The socks are also difficult to take off. Fortunately, Lan Wen was hit by the blunt end of the hammer. There is no big wound on the surface, but a layer of blood seeps through the socks, and the spots can be seen through the socks. red.

Meglin lowered her head and took a look: "Fortunately, there is no broken bone."

He was ignored, and Glorfindel didn't even look at him.

Meglin touched her nose: "I'm going to get a bandage, let's wrap it up a bit."

Meglin left, leaving only Romimos and Glorfindel in the workshop. Glorfindel didn't speak immediately, and Romimos didn't know what to say.

"You really surprised me." After a long time, Glorfindel said suddenly, Romimos looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head and sniffed.

"When I came in just now, I saw you—" Glorfindel gestured twice casually, "I thought you were very powerful, who would have thought that you could smash yourself?"

Is he looking down on her? !Although she is indeed still a newcomer when it comes to actually picking up a hammer and practicing it by herself, she is not so immature that she can't even hold a hammer steadily!It was just... an accident!And the accident was all Glorfindel's fault, if he hadn't come running over without making a sound, she wouldn't have been so surprised that she raised the hammer stupidly for a long time.

"What are you doing here?" asked Romemus.

Glorfindel looked away and fake coughed twice: "Aren't I worried that you will go back alone when it gets dark..."

"Didn't I tell you? If I'm not back before sunset, I'll spend the night here at Maeglin's."

"You said it, but..." Glorfindel became embarrassed. He couldn't say that he suspected that Lan Wen and Meglin had an "undiscloseable" relationship, and he was dissatisfied with it and came to make trouble, right?Can this be his fault?Until just now, even in his dreams, he would never have imagined that Lan Wen came to Meglin to strike iron.Nothing, I misunderstood before. "

Romimos didn't know why, but seeing that Glorfindel didn't want to say more, she didn't continue to ask.

"Originally, I came to take you home," Glorfindel said, "but now your foot is injured. If the pain is severe, you can spend the night at the Mole's family tonight."

Romemos tilted his head and thought for a while.

Even though Glorfindel is full of questions because she is injured now, it is not good to ask her a lot of questions now, but sooner or later she will have a showdown with Glorfindel on this matter—of course. may not be genuine.As long as Meglin cooperates, it is not too difficult to fool Glorfindel and others.

Compared with how to explain to Glorfindel why she is interested in forging—actually, there is nothing to explain, and where and from whom did she learn this knowledge, and why she kept hiding it from everyone in the end, let Luo Mimos was even more worried about what kind of image she was now in Glorfindel's eyes?

However, sooner or later it should come.

"No." Romimos shook his head, and stretched out his hand to signal Glorfindel to hug her. There were still tears in her eyes, "I want to go home."
