[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Sirius let out a long breath, showing a sneer of "it's true", and with a wave of her hand, her subordinates surrounded the elves.In fact, when it comes to fighting alone, these humans are not very strong, and I am afraid that it is difficult to match the elves, but now the elves are outnumbered, and all the weapons in their hands have been confiscated before. The situation was quite tense.

You must know that the "feed the crows" that Romemos said was not just a witticism. Since the tower was built on the edge of the cliff, almost all humans or orcs who violated the law of the twilight were thrown from this cliff after being executed, or fell into the bottomless ravine, or Hanging on the branch of the tree growing from the cracks in the cliff, it became the feed of the crows. After nearly a thousand years, the entire cliff is now densely covered with clean bones that were pecked by the crows. Some of them have already been broken into pieces and the original shape cannot be seen, so this cliff is also named "Wanguya".

"Wait, wait a minute!" Fortunately, Bell jumped out in time and defended the elves, "There must be some misunderstanding, these elves do have Luo Mi's token, I will not mistake the magic power on the ring. Can I go up and explain to Luo Mi face to face?"

Bell and Romimos seemed to have a very close relationship. The priest didn't even ask Romimoth, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Of course."

After a while, the priests leaned out from the high windows of the tower, and wound a thick rope around the pulley next to the window frame, and at the other end of the rope was tied a wooden and reed woven A large basket, spacious enough for two or three people to sit comfortably in it at the same time, Bell jumped into the basket, and the priests pulled her up.

"Because Lord Romimus stays on the top floor of the tower most of the time, otherwise, it would take at least 10 minutes just to climb the stairs." Hrudir explained to the elves.

Glorfindel sighed softly, as if he had finally made up his mind at a certain moment just now, and he asked Sirius in a calm tone: "Lady Sires, are there any streams or springs near here?"

"What do you want?" Sirius looked at him warily.

"When I passed the flower field, I accidentally stepped into the mud." Glorfindel explained, his boots and trousers were indeed covered with a lot of mud. , I want to clean up first."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Sires frowned and said in disgust, but she also felt that this was disrespectful to Romimos, so she gave in and asked Herudil and the other two to follow Groffin together. Del went to a bush near here, where there was a spring from which gardeners usually draw water to irrigate the flower fields, and he gave Glorfindel a look and warned him, "Don't try to play any tricks."

"You sent three people to stare at one of me, even if I have wings, I can't fly away." Glorfindel said innocently.

But when he turned around, Elrond clearly saw him mouthing to himself: "Take a chance and run." But

However, there are nearly a hundred people staring at them, so where is the chance to escape?Elrond was bewildered.

About a quarter of an hour later, the bell poked its head out of Minasvio's window, glanced down, shrank back tremblingly, grasped the railing with ten fingers, and then lowered its head and shouted to the elves: "Look at me, I have been forgetting to ask your names! Is any of you related to Erendil, son of Tur and Idril?"

Elrond took a breath and stepped forward: "I am Elrond, son of Elendil."

"Ah, it's you." Bell cried out excitedly, "No wonder I always thought you were not an ordinary elf. Luo Mi wants to see you."

"Shall I go up in that . . . basket too?" asked Elrond.

"No, I'll go down." With a voice that Elrond had never heard before, another figure appeared behind the window.

With just one glance, Elrond confirmed that this was the legendary Twilight Lord.

The humans under the tower gasped in unison. Sires turned her head and gave them a hard look, and knelt down on one knee first: "Lord Romimos." But her voice was obviously trembling.

However, Romimos didn't care about the reactions of those people. She looked down at the elves, especially Elrond. After a long while, a smile of unknown meaning appeared in her eyes. She turned her gaze back and turned to look at the bell.

"Go down together?" Romemos asked.

"No, no, it's too high, I'm afraid." Bell covered his eyes.

"Then I'll go down first." Romemos shrugged, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she climbed onto the windowsill and jumped down without hesitation.

No one exclaimed this time. Sires and the others seemed to think that it was no big deal for their lord to fall from a height of nearly a hundred feet, and all of them looked calm.And the fact was just as they expected, the moment Romemos soared into the air, a pair of huge crow-black wings stretched out from her shoulders, and in just a few seconds, she landed lightly in front of Elrond , and the wings disappeared like an illusion.

"So, you are the son of Elendil who chose the fate of the elves in the end?" Romimos looked at Elrond with great interest, "It's a pity that the elves that the bell told me to come have a blond one, I thought you inherited Idril's hair color."

She looked around: "But why didn't I see anyone here with blonde hair?"

"Report to the lord, the elf stained his shoes on the way here, and I have someone take him to clean them up." Sires said.

"Oh." Romimos nodded indifferently, not paying much attention to it, and looked at Elrond with a tense expression again, "So, your twin brother has the same black hair as you?"

"...Yes." Elrond guessed in his heart what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and replied cautiously, unwilling to say a word.

"Tsk." Romemos shook his head, "Are you married?"

"..."

"Answer the lord's question honestly!" Sires shouted.

"……not yet."

"Is there a girl you like?" Romemos asked curiously, and suggested with a serious face, "You should find a beautiful girl with golden hair."

"What's none of your business?" Elrond was finally annoyed by her question. He didn't know who he was thinking of, and his originally fair face flushed slightly.

"Haha, are you angry?" Romimos smiled happily, "Although it's the first time you and I met formally, no matter what, I also watched your father grow from a little baby who couldn't speak. Little by little, he has grown into the current star of hope. You said that an old friend came to visit, but I didn’t take it seriously at first. It was my fault that I almost fed the descendants of Idril to the crows. Well, as the saying goes, nothing goes wrong Hall of Three Treasures, Your Excellency Elrond deliberately found time to come to see me this time, is there something wrong?"

Elrond was silent, what could he do?You can't tell the truth that you originally wanted to sneak in and threaten you to release the illusion outside the Twilight Land, right?

"What? Are you shy? Didn't you expect Elendil's son to be so shy?" Romimos was still teasing Elrond, "Then let me guess, you want to ask me to eliminate the border of the Twilight Land The enchantment, so that Linton's army can pass through the land of twilight to help Holly County, right?"

"You..." Elrond was stunned for a moment, but then he also thought that the army of elves had been wandering outside the Twilight Land for several months, and it was strange that Romimos didn't notice, "Since you Got it, then..."

"Impossible." Romimos shattered Elrond's hope with a smile.

He is a fool, Elrond thought to himself.How could he forget what a cruel bastard the person in front of him was because the humans in the Twilight Land praised Romemos unanimously?

"It's fine at other times. You may have noticed that the people here just want to live their own lives, and don't want to have too tense a relationship with the elves. As long as you pay the tolls in full, then I'll open my eyes." It’s okay to turn a blind eye and let you pass by.” Romemos seemed regretful, “Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time. Sauron just asked me not to let any elves come from me for half a year. Yes, as Mordor is an ally in name, I can't just go back on what I promised, right?"

Elrond made a swallowing motion: "Since this is the case, we don't want to embarrass the Twilight Lord too much. This is my farewell."

He forced himself to salute quickly and calmly, and wanted to leave the place of right and wrong quickly, but as soon as he turned around, two spears were placed on his chest.

"Although your grandparents and I have known each other for hundreds of years, you come and leave whenever you want, don't you think you are too outsider?" Romemos sighed, "Elan Dill's son finally came to me, so please stay a few more days and let me entertain you. Don't worry, it's not what I hoped to have a bad relationship with Linton. I won't kill you. Wait until the news of Irejan's fall Come on, I'll let you go. It shouldn't take a few days."

Elrond's face was pale, and his lips were drawn into a tight line.

On the other side, Glorfindel, under the watchful eye of Hrudir and the other two, came to a bush not far away. The bushes here are not very tall and luxuriant, but if you don't look carefully, there are people hiding in it. It's also hard to spot at a glance.

"We are here, please act quickly, don't keep Lord Romimos waiting for too long." Horudil urged Glorfindel.

And Glorfindel was silent, and after two or three seconds passed, he said softly: "Sorry."

"What——" Hrudir didn't know why, but before he could ask, the back of his neck suddenly went numb, and he fell down with a puff when his eyes went dark.

The other two were shocked, and they drew out their swords at the same time and stabbed at Glorfindel. After two blunt bangs, the two also fell down without saying a word.

Afterwards, Glorfindel took the bows and arrows from their bodies, adjusted the bowstrings a little, and opened the bow with the arrow pointing directly at the bottom of the Tower of Twilight, where Romimos had just lightly landed on the ground.

He should just shoot the arrow like this, and the tip of the arrow sank fiercely into the opponent's heart. Even Maia would "die" when his body was fatally injured. In this way, Linton's army can pass through the Swan Lake and reach Irejan in the shortest time, and he can finally avenge Gondolin's revenge.

But his fingertips trembled a little, and Glorfindel took a few deep breaths, attributing it to his excitement at seeing his enemy again, staring at the picture that had appeared a thousand times in his dreams. Thousands of times, the familiar face that made him grit his teeth with hatred.That's really not Lan Wen, Lan Wen never laughed so recklessly and arrogantly.

He thought of Lan Wen again, that well-behaved and sensible child who made people feel distressed, never noisy (of course, because she couldn't open her mouth to make a lot of noise), she was gentle and polite to everyone, elegant and quiet, although she was not afraid of life, she was not afraid. It's not dull, but maybe it's because of the inconvenience of not being able to speak out and communicate. When Glorfindel is away, she spends more time alone, reading books, watering flowers, and using a lot of water. Time sat on a bench in the garden and stared at the birds in the sky in a daze. The maids once gave her a small bag of millet, saying that she could feed it to the pigeons. She didn't fly anymore, so Lan Wen was very disgusted and never fed them again; at the banquet, an elf invited her to dance and never refused. Juice looked at everyone quietly. If Idriel and others didn't take the initiative to talk to her, she could sit in one place from the beginning to the end of the banquet. It's almost transparent.

But Glorfindel knows that the real Lan Wen is far from being as mediocre as she appears. In that silent body hides a rich and even crazy inner world, and her eyes can also shine like glass reflecting the sun Shiny, countless passion, self-confidence, and vitality burst out of it, as well as an ambition and desire that are always mixed with innocence and curiosity.

Glorfindel thought it was at that moment that he fell in love with her.For this reason, he was once very jealous of Meglin, because Lan Wen seemed to be willing to reveal her heart a little only in front of that person, and once she returned to the sight of other people, even if that person was Glorfindel, Lan Wen would be very jealous again. She hid her charm perfectly, and turned back into a doll-like good girl. She was so beautiful from head to toe that she couldn't pick out a little bit of difference.

But Glorfindel never showed any negative emotions on his face or mouth. If Lan Wen was not willing, then he would never force her to do anything or put any pressure on her. Glorfindel always felt that the future would be brighter. One day, Lan Wen will no longer shy away from revealing her true side.

That day did indeed come. When Lanwen died and the demon named Romimos finally revealed his true face, Glorfindel realized that what he had glimpsed was only the radiant and bright inside of Lanwen. On the one hand, he has never understood the dark and dark place deeper in it.

Glorfindel was still in a daze, when a big crow suddenly flew over his head, glanced at him, then flew towards the Tower of Twilight, circled there a few times, and croaked a few times.

Glorfindel didn't notice anything wrong at first, thinking it was just a common bird, but Romemos was obviously taken aback when he heard the crow's cry, and Glorfindel suddenly realized that Romimos Si is Maia who served Varda and Manwe, it is quite normal to understand the language of birds, the crows in the dusk are not because Romimos has love to multiply and grow here, they are her everywhere. Eyeliner all over Middle-earth.And now the crow has found him and is reporting to Romimos!

An arrow was shot, and the crow was shot down with a whoosh.Glorfindel hit the second arrow within half a second, but it was still too late. Romemus turned his head and looked straight at where Glorfindel was. collided together.

At this moment, the second arrow had left the string, and even if Glorfindel wanted to stop, it was too late, and the arrow went straight towards Romimos.

Romimos can dodge, and other people may not be able to react, but Romimos has been warned first and found Glorfindel, she should also know that this arrow cannot be an arrow other than her. If she is going towards someone else, as long as she moves a little to the side, even if she can't completely avoid it, at least she won't suffer any fatal injuries.

But at that moment, Romimos's face was full of surprise and disbelief, the arrow flew towards her like in slow motion, she seemed to have forgotten to dodge, and stood there like a fool.

A second later, with a puff of the sharp blade piercing into the flesh, Romimos fell down in response.
