end of time

Is there anything more annoying to elf gods than Oakes?

Yes, it is government affairs that have been piled up for several days and have not been dealt with.

Although most of them were piled on the elf table in the upper seat, facing the part left for her, Lucinda still felt that one head became two bigger.

She had been buried in the pile of papers all day, as tired as a war.After finally pushing away the pile of parchment papers to drink, he saw that Thranduil, who was seated above, was already holding Dovinin in his spare time.

She blinked, looked at the neatly folded documents on his right hand, and then looked at the blond-haired Highness with a calm face.

But he just looked at her idly, without any intention of helping.

Glancing at the thick stack on her desk, she suddenly felt her scalp tingling.

"Can you..."

"nope."

"Hey! Am I helping you?" Lucinda was annoyed at being rejected so simply.

"Are you begging for elves?"

"I……"

"Clean up the mess you make by yourself."

Lucinda almost choked on the breath she just brought up, glared at him dissatisfied, and picked up the pen angrily again.

It's so insane!She is not for him!

Silently complaining in her heart, she didn't notice the happy smile quietly blooming on the corner of His Royal Highness's lips.

The government hall was very quiet, and at some point in the fireplace opposite, a fire was raised, warming the room.

He was out while she was wrestling with the documents.While she was writing, she thought that he might go to the military camp, or he might go for a stroll in the forest on a big horned deer, with Dovey Ning in her hand who had never seen him leave.No, Duo Weining should be on the pair of exaggerated and bizarre antlers. She has seen with her own eyes that the big horns that the divine deer is proud of have been developed by the owner for other uses.

It was already night when he walked out of the council hall rubbing his sore shoulders.

But thinking that these things were all solved by her alone, Lucinda felt pretty good.

"Aren't you going to practice archery tonight?" Walking around the corridor, I saw Thranduy sitting on the marble terrace, with flowing blond hair, a scattered cloak, and long legs curled up casually, looking comfortable, but his slender fingers were boring. Playing with the horns of the horse lying beside him.

Seeing her coming, a gleam of joy flashed calmly in Binglan's eyes.

"How did it get here?" Lucinda wondered.

"Thananos, it's up to her to see if you can eat the most delicious berries." Thranduil was speaking to the big horned deer, but his eyes were staring at her with interest.

Shenlu looked at his master hesitantly, then turned to the red-haired elf, opened his big eyes filled with tears, and reluctantly opened his mouth in a low voice...

Thranduy couldn't help raising her eyebrows even though she knew the reason, but Lucinda went from being confused at the beginning, to frowning, to gloomy face, and then the veins on her forehead couldn't stop jumping like dancing.

"This reckless stinky elf! How dare you bet with this kind of thing?"

The big horned deer nodded wildly, full of grievances.

"Alves agreed that if I win, he will give me the best bunch of berries he saved in autumn."

"Then what if you lose?" Lucinda asked back.

Shenlu, who knew his master quite well, looked at Thranduil timidly, and didn't say that he easily agreed to the elf's condition because he expected Alves to lose.

Thranduil hadn't thought of asking it about it, and maybe he hadn't thought of the possibility of the big horned deer losing in his subconscious mind.

"What is it?"

Under the eyes of the two elves, Thananos still spoke out.

"It's the master's Duo Weining..."

"What does this have to do with Dovining?"

"Alves said, someone like His Highness who can't do without alcohol, but if it's Lucy... These are Alves' original words, not mine... After Lucy has settled His Highness, maybe... ...maybe...maybe...something...something intimate with Miss Lucinda...when...just...you will forget the good wine beside me...then I...I can take the opportunity... "

Thananos' voice became lower and lower. The anger in Lucinda's eyes could turn the entire world of Arda into ashes. Thranduy snorted disdainfully and spoke lukewarmly.

"He's really smart..."

The Deer King looked at Lucinda, and didn't dare to answer the following sentence, "But when I forced him to ask for it, he ran away. I went to his house to look for it, but all the berries were gone, and he took them away in advance, so I hope You go to him and ask for it" say it

"So what! Go find him! It's none of my business!" Lucinda said angrily, hearing this kind of... such a bet after being exhausted?Still in front of Thranduil.

"He hid in the barracks, and it's impossible for me to get him out, and the master doesn't even bother to do such a thing...so...so..."

"So I should do it?" Lucinda was going crazy, "There is no door! I tell you! Thananos, you are a bastard just like Alves! Stinky bighorn deer! Don't even think about me helping you! "

After scolding the bighorn deer and Alves severely, Lucinda's anger finally weakened a little.Thranduil spoke leisurely just now.

"Have you had dinner?"

"Eat, what's wrong?"

"follow me."

He stood up and pulled her out naturally.

Thananos wanted to follow up and beg Thranduil again, but His Royal Highness turned around and only said one sentence.

"Clean up the mess you make by yourself."

Shen Jun's deer king burst into tears on the spot, and then retreated to the corner of the wall aggrieved.

Clean up your own mess.

Hearing this familiar sentence, my mood this time is much better.

"Only a fool would lose a bet on such a thing." No matter how she heard Thranduil's voice, Lucinda felt that she could no longer hold back her laughter.

She glared at him dissatisfied, but she was looking into his eyes with a smile on her face, her face blushed slightly, and she immediately turned away.

"Where are you going?"

"What can I ask?" Lucinda didn't take it seriously. She grew up in this forest, what else is she not familiar with?

But this time she was wrong.

They walked a long forest path, all far away from the residence of the Silvan elves. The forest became denser as they walked forward, and even the starlight was completely covered. Although Lucinda's night vision is quite good, she couldn't help but struggle a little , and exhausted after a day of hard work, she couldn't help but grabbed Thranduil's cuff.

"How long?"

"almost there."

When they said this, they had already reached the end of the path, and suddenly the overflowing starlight was so beautiful that it was unreal, and the night breeze brought a fresh breath in the forest. Lucinda looked at a rare huge ancient tree in the middle of the front, and was extremely surprised. up.

"here it is……"

"The center of Yoan Tallinn." Thranduy looked at the big tree and said calmly.

"Huh? You used this as the source point to spread your spiritual power to all parts of the forest?" Lucinda was very surprised, she didn't even know where the center of the forest was.

"It's not stupid." He walked over, with his hands sticking to the bark of the ancient tree, "To be precise, it's here."

Lucinda looked up at the tree.I was speechless for a long time.

Maybe it's because of the concentration of his spiritual energy, this tree is really too beautiful.

Its branches were more lush and holy than any she had ever seen.It seems that there is no starlight, but it can also emit a silver halo. From a distance, it looks like a blooming lotus enveloped by the boundless sky.Blooming on this ancient land, breathing silently in this untouched world, exuding a beauty that disdains people to look into it.

Thranduil took her hand and pressed her palm against the rough trunk of the old tree.

At that moment, she obviously felt as if something was flowing into her body invisible, with hidden strength, gradually dispelling the fatigue and powerlessness, refreshing her spirit, and then the whole body fell into endless relaxation and joy among.

"Unbelievable..." she murmured, looking at Thranduil in disbelief.

He smiled, turned around and sat down casually against the tree trunk.

"You didn't bring me here...to meet this tree?"

"Do you feel less tired?" He asked back.

"That goes without saying." Lucinda also sat down, "It's like being able to go to the battlefield to kill a lot of orcs again. Although..." Her eyes darkened slightly.

He drank the wine, glanced at her, and said plainly: "I heard that you really want to visit the grassland? Why?"

Speaking of which, Lucinda began to perk up again.

"Yes, it's a place with many magnificent legends. It's a vast green grassland in the east far away from Central Continent. It's not a grassland like a desert, it's that kind." She couldn't describe it with gorgeous words, "It can be Galloping horses, the color of my eyes, with white flocks and free horses, with a beautiful river running through, where the inhabitants live at sunrise and at sunset, though not as fond of stars as we are , but at night they will also light a bonfire and dance and sing together."

She stretched out her arms and traced, as if that was the world she had already seen.

"How do you know this?" He wondered.

"Because it's my Nana's hometown..."

"Isn't General Ellen's wife a Silvan elf?" He didn't know this.

"That's right. Didn't I tell you?" Lucinda gave him a surprised look, "I nana, she left her homeland and came to the forest for Ada. But when I was very young, I was probably in my teens. , she passed away. At that time, the forest was in chaos, and there were constant conflicts among the tribes. She was seriously injured and was forcibly sent to Valinor by ada. I don’t remember those things clearly, but Brian told me later. She Very mild black eyes and soft, delicate contours. Did I tell you that Brian's eyes resembled hers."

"..."

"Are you listening?" She turned to look at him who was thinking deeply.

"Yes." He put down his wine glass, "You said General Ellen forcibly sent her to Valinor?"

"She was seriously injured, but she didn't want to leave. She told Ada that she left her hometown for him, and would rather die than leave him again. Ada said that the separation at that time was just for a long-term reunion. But Nana cried Yes, because Ada's attitude is very firm. She asked, so when was the reunion? Brian said that Ada couldn't say a word at that time. But she was sent away later. Ada couldn't see her seriously injured and died , that's too cruel, he would rather they all endure long longing and loneliness."

"Madame General, she is a great woman." Thranduy was silent for a moment, then said.

"Maybe." Lucinda shook her head, "And I also don't understand, Thranduil, really, especially after Brian's death. I don't understand, we are the beloved race of Valar, and we live the same life as the heaven and the earth, so , where is the lifespan of heaven and earth? What is the end of our time? Did the Valar give us the same pain when he gave us such a life? Why is our life so long, so long that longing and sorrow are so unbearable... ..."

He hesitated slightly, looked into her emerald eyes, sighed, pulled her closer to him, lowered his head against her forehead, and said softly.

"Sorry to remind you of these, forget, don't think about them, Lucinda."

His deep and magnetic voice seemed to have magical powers, as if it could gently iron out the wounds in her soul that could not be ignored, making her feel at peace.

"I will," she said quietly, "but what about you?"

There was a moment of stagnation in the soft air.

"Have you forgotten?" she asked, "Do you?"

His breathing was slightly stagnant, and a struggling emotion flashed in his eyes, and he quickly fell silent.

"In the valley, you started to behave well, but later, you stopped." He changed the subject without a trace.

"What were you thinking at that time?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of Brian. I thought that he taught me so many things when I was young, but he never allowed me to take arrows. At that time, I thought, if my archery skills were the same as now, at least I could get reinforcements. Bar."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. What if it were you?" She asked him directly, "Tharanduil, if you were him, would you let me learn archery?"

"I will." His voice was as calm as the night wind passing through the forest, cold and determined, "I will make your archery skills surpass any other elves, but I will not give you a chance to use it .

Her heart trembled slightly.The ice blue eyes looked at her quietly and intently, still too dark for her to see clearly.

"Lucinda, you're scared, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm scared." She answered honestly, recovering from the shock of emotion just now, "I'm afraid that what I care about will disappear from my life forever like Brian. I want to be like you, but I couldn't. And then I realized how cowardly and stupid I was. Facing those beasts, I couldn't even hold a bow."

"You're just not used to it." Thranduil didn't want her to dwell on this for a long time, "Don't you want to see a wider world, then go, elves have a long life, don't waste time in one place There are still many beautiful things waiting for you to discover, promise me, don't let his death become your shackles."

His eyes were soft and sincere, a wonderful, blinding ice blue, and for the first time she saw everything clearly in those cold, indifferent eyes, saw her own shadow.

She leaned over suddenly, cupped his cheeks, and kissed him gently.

He was only stunned for a second, then he pulled her back into his arms, deepening the kiss.

The unspeakable touch, the uncontrollable heartbeat, the warm breath, the tranquil taste and the wonderful sweetness of the grapes all melted into this uncontrollable long kiss.

"Thrandui, thank you." After a long time, she whispered on his lips.

"Thank me for what, thank you for being caught in the melee and asking you to rescue me?" He stroked her bright red long hair and raised the corners of his lips.

Does he seem to like to laugh a lot recently?It's really pretty and eye-catching.

She cupped his face and smiled too.

"Dorvinin tastes so good, like tempting autumn berries. It's a pity that I get drunk when I drink it."

"Forget about the berries, I don't want to be eaten by Thananos. Would you like some?"

It turned out that there was no alcohol mixed, and Dovinin was still a bit too strong for her.

She thinks he's starting to double again.Only this time, he will never be recognized as Alves again.

She raised her forehead slightly, her eyes gradually closed as if glued to honey, leaning against the hard tree trunk, her lips and teeth were filled with a fragrant taste.

"Ah! It's really useless, I seem to be drunk again. What should I do, how can I go back?"

Thranduil glanced at the lingering stars in the sky, carefully put his arm behind her head, took off the crimson cloak and gently covered her body.

She was still mumbling as she fell into his arms.

"The stinky bighorn deer is not here... what should I do..."

Thranduil laughed, thinking of it now.He still has something to tell her, but he is not in a hurry.The fingertips gently stroked the long flame-like hair.He couldn't help leaving a light kiss on the muttering lips, he said softly.

"Relax and sleep, I'm here, we'll go back tomorrow."
