[Through Middle-earth BG Lord of the Rings Fans] A Different Life Das Leben der Anderen

It seems that elves not only have sensitive and sharp facial features, but also an indisputable fact that their body is like the wind.I looked at the empty tunnel after I lost the elf, and continued to run forward somewhat resignedly.After running for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a ray of light coming from outside the tunnel. I quickened my pace and rushed out, but the scene outside made me feel suffocated.In the sweltering air, most of the dome and walls with watercolor murals have collapsed, and there are rubble and destroyed porcelain candlesticks all over the floor, and the bright plush tapestry is burning in the firelight.

I walked out carefully, and the golden flowers, branches and leaves of the Nyingmada tree in the courtyard fell all over the ground. The Neferetir flowers were buried in the soil with their stems, and only half of the statue of the goddess of harvest in the center of the fountain was left. Standing upright in the pool, her delicate and delicate face has quietly sunk to the bottom of the pool, and there are traces of damage from enemy boulders and shells everywhere.Even though it is so dilapidated now, I can still recall the glory and beauty of the past from this bleakness.

I walked out of the gate of the palace, and felt that I had come to the ruins of the ruined castle after the war. It was hard to imagine that Gondolin Xiao at the time of the destruction fell to only ruins and ruins, completely missing the fairyland scene that made my heart beat for the first time.At this time, a deafening explosion came from the corner in front. I had to cover my ears and hide behind a piece of gravel. After a long time, I dared to raise my head slowly and carefully explore the corner in front.I assumed a few scenes that I might see, maybe a group of thieves orcs, maybe a huge Balrog, and maybe a seriously injured elf, trying to explain his last words to me with his last breath .But when I squinted my eyes slightly and turned my face out, I only saw a few sporadic corpses of magic soldiers and the smoke and dust after the bombardment.I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, maybe I was too cautious, this place is located in the south of the city, far from the city gate, there should be no danger of becoming a large battlefield for the time being.

Along the recently destroyed street, I walked forward on the gravel. For some reason, I just felt that Xilion was ahead.I want to go to his side quickly, although he is destined to leave, but when that moment comes, I want to be by his side, I don't want him to leave alone.This scene that I once wanted to avoid, but now I want to catch up, Excilion, it seems that I really can't let you go.

At the beginning, the road was fairly quiet, but the closer you got to the palace square in the center of the city, the more magic soldiers and elves you encountered.The first magic soldier who ran up to me startled me, but the reason why I say that human potential is unlimited is because often at such times, we can explode a small universe with the adrenaline that rises in an instant.The proof is that I grabbed a flower pot that I would never lift up and smashed it on the monster's head.

During this time, I met a few elves, and tried to persuade me to evacuate with them, but I ignored them, I just wanted to find Exilion.But this time, I may have encountered an elf who was more stubborn than me, because after I ignored him and walked past him, he picked me up without saying a word, and led his group of elf warriors to the city. run.It seems that this wealthy lord of the Rainbow family has a bad temper. It is better for me not to provoke him too much. Therefore, I rationally ignored the sound coming from my stomach on his shoulder when he was running recklessly. protest.I seriously suspect this is his vengeance for the last time Elios and I sneaked into his vault.

When I arrived at the central square, I was immediately thrown to the ground, but I just stood up calmly, glanced at the heroic elf lord, silently calculated the difference in combat power between us, and then, generously He decided to forgive him, and turned into a villain named Agamose in his heart, punching and kicking him a hundred times.

Immediately, I didn't have the mood to argue with Agamose, because I saw the elf I had been looking for, Exilion was there, leaning against the King's Fountain in the middle of the square, looking at it ecstatically. The night sky dyed red by flames.

I walked towards him. At this time, I couldn't hear the chaotic noise around me, and I couldn't see the strange elves shuttling between us. All I could see was the figure leaning quietly by the pool, with a slightly confused look on his face. , an elf who licks and wipes his wounds alone.

He suddenly came back to his senses, as if he also felt my approach, looked at me, and then his blue eyes widened in surprise.He just watched me getting closer and closer to him in disbelief until I came to him.Looking at his rarely vivid face, I raised the corners of my mouth in a good mood and said with a smile, "You said 'goodbye', so I'm here."

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "Haven't you seen Elios?"

I walked over and leaned against the pool next to him, "He has a family mission to undertake, so he can't take care of me."

Exilion stared at the ground without speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Excilion." I whispered his name and watched him turn his head to look at me. His handsome face was stained with the dust of war. Even so, it couldn't conceal the inner brilliance, which was so beautiful.After hesitating for a moment, I still said, "Don't leave, okay?"

Excilion looked at me calmly without speaking, his blue pupils were as deep as the sea.Then, he stretched out his right hand to me, and I caught a glimpse of his left arm, bloody and bloody, unable to lift it up.Taking a deep breath, I stretched out both hands to hold his, wanting to warm that right hand which was too cold to have any temperature.He looked at the hands we held, smiled deeply, and raised his head to look at me after a while. His eyes were warm and clear, and his eyes flickered as if he was telling me something.

"Conan, play another song for me, okay?"

......

......

The only remaining elf warriors of the Twelve Families gathered in the square, they were praying for the final battle.The twin trees of gold and silver, planted in imitation of the Two Holy Trees of Valinor, trembled slightly under the purple night sky, the fountain of the king kept gushing tears, weeping for the sacrificed warriors, and the dust and smoke blew over the elves and magic soldiers on the ground dead body, the king's square was desolate.Together with the women and children who could not fight, I walked through the square and stepped into the palace hall.

Exilion, your last wish, I will definitely fulfill it...

In the center of the hall sat the leader of Gondolin, the ruler of the King's Family, Tegang. The fall of Baicheng made him look sad, and beside him were the warriors of the King's Family.I turned my eyes away and saw the huge pipe organ behind the throne, hesitated for a moment, and walked there anyway.

Special Steel saw me without a doubt, and he asked me, "Are you that human?"

I didn't answer, after all I might still be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

"Why did you come?" he asked again.

"..." I took a deep breath and replied, "For an elf, I want to do something for him."

Special Steel was silent for a long time before waving and saying, "Go."

......

I walked to the organ and gently touched the black and white keys under the cover.I knew that the square outside the palace ushered in a new wave of demonic attacks, the hissing of fire dragons and balrogs, the beating of drums by orcs, and the ground shaking produced by the advancing army came from under my feet.I can feel the fear of the elves, because this fear comes from within me too.

I put my hands on the keys, raised my head slightly, and saw my pale face under my bright black hair reflected on the lacquered wooden board, blinked, and smiled unconsciously: "Axilion, I'm with you until the last moment...

With a light finger, I have always wanted to play this piece of music for him, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Excilion, it's really goodbye this time...

At some point, Special Steel led the warriors of the King's family and rushed out, and the fierce wailing of Balrog and Fire Dragon resounded in the square.At this time, a heat wave brought a lot of scalding steam into the palace, blurring my vision for a while, making it impossible for me to see the keys.The steam lingered in my eyes for a long time, which made me a little puzzled.It wasn't until the end of the song that I raised my sleeves and rubbed the sore corners of my eyes, only to see that the sleeves were wet --- it turned out that it wasn't steam...

I turned around and walked to the door. The only human in Gondolin—Tur, the leader of the White Feather family, was directing the women and children in the palace to retreat to the south of the city with them.When he saw me, there was a flash of sadness on his face, and then he said softly to me: "Come with me, I will take good care of you like my own sister."

I glanced at him, and turned my head to look at the King's Fountain, which was vaporized by the fire dragon. Exhilyon, is he there?

Tur grabbed my hand and wanted to take me away. I came back to my senses, broke free from his hand, shook my head at him, and said to him calmly: "I can't go, I still have a piece of music that I haven't finished playing. .”

Tur looked at me for a long time, then he lowered his sad eyes, sighed in a low voice, and led the elves away without looking back.

I glanced at the square again. The gold and silver trees were burning in black flames, and the fountain pool was still emitting hot and humid steam. On the White Tower, the Special Steel King was directing the guards of the White City to fight the final battle.I went back to the main hall alone and sat on the piano bench. My heart was so calm when facing the imminent death.Looking up at the bright red moon in the night sky, it is really a full moon tonight, only stained red with blood.

I put my hands back on the keys, and I still have a piece to play, for the elves who died fighting in Gondolin, for Exhirion, and, for myself... Requiem

The movement of Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, the music containing the bells of death and the black majestic sea, resounded in the city of Gondolin.

In the last movement, the gold and silver trees were reduced to ashes, the palace and the White Tower collapsed, and the king and his soldiers were buried in the ruins.

The music ceased, and Gondolin fell.

end of the first era

To be continued

The author has something to say:

The first era ended in this way, the heroine hadn't had time to discover her feelings with each other, and the love had ended before it even started.It is actually a bit sad to end like this, and it is actually very unfair to Excilion, but the author has decided that everything should be done on the premise that the heroine does not change history, so it has to be like this...

Excilion may be regarded as the heroine's first love, hazy, very pure heart and appreciation, without any other things, just like it from a distance, after a long time, I found that this kind of memory, even if it is short , but there is no way to erase it anyway.This is what the author thinks the first love feels like, and most of the first loves end without a problem.

Maybe some people think why they like him but don't save him. In fact, the heroine has tried. She begged Exilion not to leave in the square, but they all knew very well that Exilion would not abandon Gondolin. He was doomed to die for Gondolin.

As for Elios, my original character is the purest and cleanest elf. The heroine will be a friend or younger brother to him, but she will never be a lover. It is hard to say what kind of feelings he has for the heroine. Because he still doesn't know what love is.Perhaps in the future, when he shoulders the mission of leading the Yongquan family on the other side, he will gradually understand.

After writing the first part, the author couldn’t help feeling a little bit emotional. In the summer of 8 years ago, I published an article on the Internet for the first time. It was a medium-length BL fan of anime characters. Today, 8 years later, I published an article on the Internet for the second time. , has already become a time-traveling BG article, and the length of the first part alone has exceeded the length of the first article, and the style of writing has also changed from flashy to light-hearted and entertaining.Although the writing concept is still insufficient, the author will try his best to successfully complete this article.
