However, the life in the dungeon has only been a few days, but it already feels like a year, and every day is monotonous.When I was bored enough to count the leaves on the terena tree by the window, the cell received a visitor, a visitor I hadn't expected.

"Excilion." I murmured softly, somewhat incomprehensible.I thought, if anyone came to see me, it would be Elios.

Excilion stepped into the cell gracefully and walked towards me, the corners of his clothes swaying lightly with his movements.His blue eyes stared at me for a moment, and then, his unwavering voice whispered my name: "Conan," he asked me flatly, "do you hate me?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it might be because of him arresting me, so I understood, but why would I hate you for this?Don't say that I have lived in your house for so long without paying a penny of living expenses, even looking at your handsome face that both people and gods hate, I can't hate you!I shook my head lightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't hate you." Feeling that maybe it wasn't convincing enough, I added, "Really."

Excilion didn't say anything more, just stared at me silently for a while, and then clapped his hands and called the attendant in. Isn't the elf attendant's hand exactly my almighty backpack?The first time I saw it, I had the feeling of seeing a relative. I took it from the attendant with some excitement, and I solemnly hugged it in my arms.Magnifying glass, flashlight, nail clipper set, and the remaining piles of miscellaneous scrap copper and iron, welcome you back to the embrace of the owner.

"This is..." I asked Exilion carefully, not quite understanding his purpose.

He was silent for a while before he spoke: "Tonight is the celebration of the Gate of Summer, and all the elves will wait from midnight until dawn to welcome the arrival of summer..."

From his words, I heard a hint of schemes that always appear in reasoning dramas, so I unconsciously lowered my voice, as if I was really planning to plan something big, and said cautiously: "That is to say..."

Exilion glanced at me who was eager to try, and said calmly: "At midnight, Ellios will come to take you away from Gondolin."

I can't believe that I will be able to go to the free field again immediately, just wait patiently for a few more hours.Suppressing the excitement and surge in my heart, I asked Exilion: "Can I go?"

Exilion just nodded lightly.

But then I realized that my identity is a suspected spy, let me go, what about Elios?What about Excilion?So, the excitement immediately cooled down, and he frowned slightly and asked, "Let me go, what do you do?"

As if he didn't expect me to ask this question, Exilion pondered for a while before slowly saying: "Elios let the suspect go privately. As the leader of the Yongquan family, I will personally announce the expulsion of him, and he will live forever." Return not to Gondolin."

I suddenly felt a little distressed, and I couldn’t tell whether it was because of Elios or Excilion. One would be driven out of my home forever because of me, and the other would be forced to part with the brother who had been guarding me.I was so sad that I looked at Excilion, whose expression was still calm.

"Excilion..." I whispered his name, I wanted to tell him that I would not leave, even if I was locked here for the rest of my life, I did not want to sacrifice them in exchange for my freedom.

"Conan," Exilion interrupted what I wanted to say. His blue eyes, which were always cold, now contained a warm brilliance. Say: "Goodbye."

......

The sky gradually darkened, and the dungeon guards brought me a rather exquisite dinner. I abused the table manners taught me by Elios to prepare for a while "the elves' unprepared escape plan on a midsummer night".I decided to knock Ellios unconscious when he came, and the result was that no matter who judged, I attacked the elf who came to visit with good intentions, and took the opportunity to abscond in fear of crime, and the two brothers were not guilty.

I quickly finished eating, packed my luggage, watched the sun slowly set outside the window, and the silver lights were lit. I was thinking about how long the wait was, when I heard a dull horn sounding outside, and I hadn’t realized the horn The meaning is that I heard an elf outside the window shouting something loudly in Elvish language.I couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, the language barrier is really a blemish, if God gives me another chance, I will definitely learn the old Sindarin language well, even though its pronunciation always reminds me of the spinning wheel of Gulu.

Just listening to the movement of the elves running around outside the window, the sports meeting in the high school is not so noisy, let alone Gondolin in the "quiet state".Just as I was impatiently trying to find out through the high window, a guard rushed in, quickly opened the cell door, let me out, and said to me in a not-so-fluent lingua franca while leading me away: "Quiet!" Come with me, don't make any actions that will misunderstand me, I can guarantee your safety, understand?"

Good comrade!This righteous elf must have felt my grievances, so he stood up firmly and helped me escape from this prison without "human" rights.What a role model among elves!I was moved and nodded solemnly to him.I walked through the winding tunnel with the elf representing justice. This should be one of the secret passages of Gondolin. It seems that I will breathe the air of the free world outside!

On the way forward, the tunnel vibrated from time to time with a huge rumbling sound, ashes poured down from the cracks in the bricks above the head, and the temperature in the dense tunnel was also hot and dry.I seriously doubt that the secret passage was built under a large construction unit, but since we are on the way out, I don't care too much.

From time to time, I could see elves running back and forth in the intersecting secret passage. At first, I was worried that the jailbreak would be discovered, but then I was relieved when I saw that everyone was in a hurry and completely ignored my meaning.I wondered a little, what are these elves doing in the secret passage, cleaning before the health surprise inspection?

"This elf, um, what are they doing?" I couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked shamelessly.

The elf who had been running silently stopped, turned his head, with fear and worry on his face that I had never seen on an elf's face, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Gondolin has been attacked, and it's from The huge team of Morgoth and the elves of the Twelve Families are working hard to defend this castle and this home, but...His Royal Highness Elios, he wants to lead some non-combat elves of the Yongquan family to evacuate from the secret passage Gondolin, I am his soldier, commanded to lead you to him."

I froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.I never thought that the destruction of Gondolin would come so quickly, and I hadn't even noticed the prelude to the storm that was about to come.Suddenly I thought of the old Aesop buried by the boulder, the screaming little granddaughter, and the mourning villagers of Samos.Then, my heart suddenly jumped faster, and an unknown fear hit my heart.My legs are still walking forward with the elf, but what I see in front of me is the back of Exilion under the moon, who is lonely and independent. Is this beautiful elf going to die?

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a familiar figure. I recognized that elf. It was an attendant who always followed Exilion. Was he going to Exilion?My legs stopped.

The elf in front turned his head strangely after realizing it: "Mylady?"

I came back to my senses, looked at the elf in front of me, and suddenly smiled: "Say goodbye to Elios for me, and say that I will go to him to thank him when I have the chance." The figure that had disappeared in another secret passage ran away.
