[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

Chapter 23 The Middle Story

It is gratifying that although the building of this hotel is dilapidated, the taste of beer is unexpectedly good. After drinking a large glass of cold beer, all the fatigue brought by the travel has disappeared.

However, the atmosphere among the three of them was a little awkward. Aragorn didn't know what to say, Legolas looked unhappy, and Elena concentrated on eating.In the end, Aragorn spoke up: "Well, uh, Ellena, why are you here, did something happen to Rivendell?"

"It's nothing." Elena stretched her waist, crossed her arms behind her head and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair. The old wooden chair made a creaking sound under her pressure. "I just I'm a little bored in Rivendell, so I came to chase the person who left without saying goodbye."

"Oh, so that's the case." Aragorn smiled awkwardly. He was the one who had the idea of ​​leaving in the dark.

"You shouldn't come here, Ellena," Legolas said in a muffled voice. "This is not a paradise. There was a plague that broke out here before, and many people died."

"I'm an elf, Legolas, and I've lived for more than 2000 years like you." Elena retorted with raised eyebrows.

Legolas frowned even tighter, and said, "I made your father's suggestion clear in the letter I left behind. Maybe we still need a little more time. Why did you catch up with me? It doesn't make sense."

"I just miss you, Legolas" Ellena spread her hands helplessly. Traveling alone is lonely and lonely, but when I think of meeting him, these are nothing. In my own heart, my dad's suggestion was just out of concern for me, but we're all grown up and can decide these things for ourselves."

"Erlina, Lord Elrond's worries are not unreasonable," Legolas said after a moment of silence, his blue eyes filled with helplessness, "The union of elves does follow my heart, but there is no love." With Master Long's permission, this will be an unblessed relationship."

The smile on Ellena's face also faded. She can probably guess the reason why Elrond stopped the two of them. Then leave forever.But Elrond had a showdown with Legolas at this time, which shows that he may still be hesitant in this matter.Thinking of this, Ellena became more confident: "Legolas, I do love and respect my father deeply, but I love you no less than I love him. I will prove to him that his worries are It's unnecessary."

"Ah, you two," Aragorn understood what was going on after listening for a long time, and he was not surprised that the two of them became a pair of lovers (in fact, he thought that they were already husband and wife) , Thinking about my own experience, I couldn't help feeling like a brother to Legolas, "Cheer up Legolas, Lord Elrond will know that you are a good boy."

Legolas gave him a speechless glance, and continued to drink his beer, thinking it was him.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, tell me how you are doing these days." Ellena asked with interest, diverting this unpleasant topic.

"Overall it's pretty good," Aragon said. "My folks are very supportive, and even though I didn't grow up here, they're great people."

Elina raised her glass and touched Aragorn, and said with a smile: "Then congratulations on becoming the leader of the Dundan tribe, what are your plans next?"

"I plan to rebuild Fornoster with my compatriots first, and build it into a fortress like the Helm's Fort in Rohan, and then travel around for a while to be a real ranger." Aragorn said with some self-mockery.

"Ha, that sounds good, the king is going to inspect his territory." Ellena said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Aragorn was a little helpless: "Erlina, I am not some kind of king."

"You will be in the future," Ellena made a signature shrug, "In any case, you are the only direct descendant of Elendil."

"This is really a terrible thing." Aragorn sighed with his hands on his forehead, and he didn't know which part of Elena's words he was talking about, or both.

"Maybe, but you still have friends, don't you? You shouldn't mind having an extra travel companion, right?" Elena's eyes flashed a hint of cunning.

"Oh, of course not, it's my honor, but Legolas..." Aragorn blinked meaningfully.

Ellena winked at Legolas desperately, Legolas twitched the corner of his mouth, glared at Ellena, and nodded reluctantly: "Yes, but you can't follow some places that are too dangerous. "

If it wasn't for Aragorn, Elena couldn't help but throw Legolas down and give him a big kiss.

To a certain extent, the trip of the three of them greatly exceeded Ellena's expectations. They went east to Runn and south to Harald. Of course they also went to Rohan and Gondor, and met with They fought side by side, and after that, they even went to Mordor secretly.When she returned to Rivendell again, it was already the autumn of 2980 of the Third Age. Of course, if they hadn't spent the whole summer in Lorien, they could have returned to Rivendell earlier.

Undoubtedly, this long journey has given them a wealth of life experience, especially Aragorn, whose noble blood of the royal family can no longer be concealed by his shabby appearance, and his relationship with Arwen is also deeper, and In the midsummer of this year, they made an appointment for life, and Ellena sincerely wished them well.

For Ellena herself, in addition to setting foot in many places that she had only heard about in books before, the more important gain is that she followed her heart. After communicating with Elrond again, she and Legolas finally became friends. each other's lifelong companions.

Originally Ellena thought that they would delay being together until after all the wars were over, but after going through a long journey, Ellena felt that there was no need for two people who were in love with each other to delay their steps because of these external things, After all, isn’t love just about two people?

In 2969 of the third era, they returned to Mirkwood and held a simple but lively wedding at the place where they met for the first time, except Gandalf, Aragorn, Thorin, Bard, Tariel and other close friends. Elrond also came from afar. Although he was reluctant, he still respected Ellena's choice.

"Erlena, you have to know that no matter what, I love you." Elrond's eyes were gentle and worried, and the long-term burden had already formed deep lines between his brows.

"Yes father, I love you too, and I never doubted it." Ellena rested her head on Elrond's lap as she did when she was a child, and Elena patted her on the back lightly, like an ordinary loving father with daughter.

"Then, go, my dear, follow your inner desire." Elrond smiled and touched Ellena's forehead, sending blessings, "Vala will bless you both."

Ellena hugged him deeply, and said goodbye to her father to go to another person she loved deeply.

This day was like a dream for Ellena, and the only regret was that Bilbo could not come to the wedding, but Gandalf brought his letter and gift, a set of exquisite silver with the characteristics of Shire. Cutlery and lovely coasters and tablecloths with the newlyweds' names embroidered on them. "Maybe you can have a nice picnic with it in the woods," Bilbo wrote.

The dense forest elves held a grand celebration banquet in the woodland hall, and countless delicacies and mellow wines were served on the table. Thranduil even generously contributed part of his private collection, although Elrina from his The expression speculates that this may have been blackmailed by Gandalf.

At the end of the banquet, Elena and Legolas quietly left the woodland hall. They climbed up to the canopy of a towering tree. Seen from the canopy, the wide forest looked like a deep green forest. The ocean, with the evening wind blowing, branches swaying like waves, and they stood on one of the waves.

"I'm wondering if you would hide here secretly when you had a fight with your father when you were young." Ellena leaned comfortably on a tree trunk.

"Actually, only Tariel has done this kind of thing." Legolas seemed to remember something interesting, with a nostalgic smile on his face, "She likes this very much."

"I can fully understand her." Ellena looked up at the stars in the sky. "This is a beautiful place. You can see the distance that you can't see from the ground, and it's very quiet. I like it too."

The corners of Legolas' mouth curved slightly: "That means I made the right choice to bring you here." He embraced Ellena, bowed his head and kissed her pink and full lips.

It was a long and soft kiss, and they hugged each other tightly, conveying body heat and affection.

Lips and tongue parted briefly, Ellena laughed briskly, and she pointed to the brightest star in the sky: "We are doing bad things under my grandfather's eyes."

"So what?" Legolas showed a charming smile, his gray-blue eyes were brighter than the stars, Elrina's whole body was about to melt under his gaze, "We can still do Something worse."

They went crazy outside until midnight, then slipped back to their room in Woodland Hall and continued until dawn.The two got up late as a matter of course, Gandalf saw the two latecomers at the breakfast table and said with a smile: "Maybe we can look forward to good news."

But the bad news came earlier than the good news. In 2993 of the third era, Moria was once again captured by half-orcs. Fortunately, with Ellena's warning and Elrond's timely rescue, most of the dwarves escaped , only Ouyin was dragged away by the watchers by the lake and disappeared at the bottom of the lake.

This is partly due to the greed of the dwarves, but it also means that the forces of darkness have grown stronger again.

On September 3001, 9 in the third era, Ellena and Legolas went to Shire to attend Bilbo's 22th birthday party. Bilbo disappeared suddenly at the banquet, and Ellena watched Legolas, who was thinking, and Gandalf, who noticed something, smiled slightly.

After waiting for so long, the story of Lord of the Rings is finally about to begin.

The transition part is really brain-burning. . .
