HP - the time the ring is still

"What do you mean?"

"We helped you disperse the Easterners and saved your lives and finances, but you actually want to abandon us." Thranduil wiped his sword expressionlessly, and looked at these merchants coldly.

"We are the free citizens of Seningbo territory." The elder bowed slowly, saluted and swallowed nervously, "Thank you for saving us, we, we are willing to repay your kindness." After finishing speaking, he was like a He bowed his head and said nothing like a person waiting to be sentenced.

"People of Seningbo, you can leave, but when you return to your homeland, please send one-third of your goods to the port of the Woodland Kingdom as a reward. Of course, you can also refuse to implement it, or make enemies with us." Thranduil looked directly at them, waiting for a reply.

"We need to negotiate."

"Please."

Thranguir turned and left, and together with the other elves packed the big ship's belongings, Kleist also jumped on the big ship, and she used magic to restore the damaged hull of the ship to its original state.They threw the bodies of the robbers overboard, and in case there were other threats, they searched the entire ship from top to bottom to make sure nothing was lost.

"Benevolent elves, we agree, please let us go." The representatives of the elders expressed their wishes.

"Yes, I wish you all the best of luck." Kleist revoked the magic, moved the big boat to make way for them, and the free folk slowly drove their small boats and disappeared on the river.

"What a surprise." Kleist said to the elves with a smile while touching the mast.

"It's not bad, but we don't have enough people to drive so many boats." Silia looked at Kleist and winked mischievously.

"Understood." Kleist said angrily. She stood on the edge of the boat and waved to the elf's wooden boat. The four wooden boats were immediately arranged in a straight line from the largest to the smallest, and connected with each other by ropes. , From a distance, it looks like a caravan.

"Now we can set off!" Kleist clapped his hands, conjured a hammock between the two masts of the big ship, raised an eyebrow at the elf, and lay down in it.

"It's all gone, be careful." Thranduil sat down on the steps with his saber in hand after giving the order, looked at Kleist who had closed his eyes, and wiped his eyes with his head down.

It was already three days later when they arrived at the tree wives’ Xiaohualin ferry. The big boat had a deep draft and walked slowly. Kleist was lazy and didn’t use magic, but when they went back it was against the current, and she needed to work hard.

After boarding the ferry in Xiaohualin, Kleist froze for a moment, feeling something was wrong. "What's wrong?" Thranduil looked at her unnaturally.

"Here, I walked out from here last time, and the road is gone." Kleist said, pointing to the grass under his feet, there is no trace of the road here.

"They hid the way!"

"It doesn't matter, Lean, Moria, here I come again! I am Kleist." Kleist ran to the edge of the forest and shouted loudly. "Lion, Moria, Pig, Little Nemo..." Kleist kept reporting their names.

"Can you wait quietly for a while?" Thranduil couldn't stand her stupid look, and stepped forward to stop her.The other elves sniggered behind them.

"Listen." Kleist turned her head and looked directly at the forest. She heard familiar footsteps, heavy and slow. "somebody is coming."

When the elves heard the sound, they all gathered, held their weapons, and looked alert.They saw the trees in the forest shaking their canopies as if they were alive, and the tangled roots in the dense grove actually moved to make way.The muffled sound of walking came from the forest, Kleist walked forward, Thranduil took her hand, and went forward with her, Kleist raised his head and grinned at him.

"You're lost again! A little human girl from the kingdom of elves." The low-pitched joking voice unique to the tree man made Kleist relax, and she rushed forward and hugged the tree man. "Nice to meet you, Rian."

"Come down." Thranduil frowned and pulled Kleist down who was trying to climb onto the tree man.

"Oh, elves, your people?" Seeing that the elves were not joking with Kleist, the tree man stood up straight and looked at Kleist, "It seems that you are not here to play. I'm sorry. I can't take you in without knowing your purpose."

"I am Thranduil, the son of Orifel. Thank you for your help to Kleist." The elves headed by Thranduil bowed down with their prince to salute like a tree man. "We don't have any malicious intentions. We really need to negotiate with Shuren friends for this visit."

The tree man looked at Kleist, and Kleist stood beside Thranguir and said to Lien with a smile, "He is my elder brother, the prince of the Woodland Kingdom. We are here this time to buy some small flowers in the forest. The fruit and honey of the family are very fond of it."

The tree man thought for a while, turned around and walked into the entrance, and said to Kleist: "Come on, I can't make a decision on this matter, you have to convince other tree men by yourself."

"Thank you, Lean." Kleist followed up with a smile, and then said aggressively, "Can I sit on your tree branch like before?"

"Come up!" The tree man stretched out his broad palm, and helped Kleist climb up his tree branch.

Thranduil led the elves to follow behind them expressionlessly. They didn't have to worry about the boat being discovered. The Treant's ferry was built on a fork in the Anduin River. Will come here, not to mention Kleist also used magic.

After the elves entered the small flower forest, they swept away their previous tension. They observed the small flower forest carefully, and the smiles on their faces expressed their joy for this forest.

"They like it here." Kleist whispered to the tree man.The tree man glanced at the elves beside him with a smile and winked at Kleist.

Like Fangorn Forest, there is no road in Little Flower Forest. They follow the Ents, and trees will give way to them wherever the Ents pass by, and they will return to their original state after they leave.

"This is really good." The elves kept sighing.

They walked for a while before reaching an open space. The tree man put Kleist on a big rock, turned around and said to Thranduil, "You guys rest here now, and I'll go find other tree men." Walked away with slow steps.The elves all jumped onto the boulders and sat around to rest and eat lunch.They chewed slowly with the elf biscuits.

"How long do we have to wait?" Silia asked Kleist softly.

"Let's find a place to rest, I guess it will be night. Ents are slow. Get ready for a protracted battle!" Kleist drank his saliva, tidied up his clothes, found a big tree, and climbed Climb to its thick branches and sit leaning against it.Thranduil took advantage of the opportunity to sit under Kleist, resting against the tree trunk.The other elves also found a shade to sit or lie down.The bored Kleist twirled the wand in his hand and sang:

Down by the salley gardens my love and Idid meet;

Deep in Sally's Garden, my love and I once met.

She passed the salley gardens with littles now-white feet.

She walks through Sally's garden with little snowy feet.

She bid me love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

She bids me love lightly, like a new leaf on a branch.

But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree.

But I was young and ignorant at the time, so I don't agree with it lightly.

Inafield by other my love and Idid stand,

In the field by the river, my love and I once stopped.

And on my leaning shoulders she laid her snow-white hand.

She leaned on my shoulder with her snow-white hands.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

She bids me live easy, when the grass grows on the banks.

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of lofty ears.

But I was young and ignorant back then, and now tears are in my eyes.

Led by Kleist, the elves sang songs one after another to pass the time.When night fell, the deep words of the tree people came, "Your singing is really fascinating." After a while, different tree people walked into this small open space one after another. Thranduil led the elves They stood on the big rock and waited for the Ents to negotiate with them.

Different Ents and Tree Wives crowded together in this open space, "We all heard what Lean said, the elves want to make a deal with us." A Ent who couldn't see his face spoke first.

"Yes."

"I can't think of anything we can sell you, and I can't think of anything you can sell us."

"Flowers are blooming here all the year round, and the fruit trees are full of fruit. We want to trade fruits and honey with you. Use magical plants to grow
