[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

Chapter 27 Before Departure

Generally speaking, the meeting was very successful, and everyone reached an agreement, but they could not set off until the information ahead arrived.Ellena is happy to stay in Rivendell for a while, and uses this time to persuade Elrond to let her join the Fellowship of the Ring.

"Erlena, this is no adventure." Elrond said seriously.

"Maybe," Ellena shrugged, "but it has a lot in common with adventure, and I'm good at it. Of course, I also think that Rivendell should be a part of the Lord of the Rings expedition."

Elrond raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you should be a subject of Thranduil now, if I remember correctly."

Elena was a little discouraged, she muttered in frustration: "Ada, you can't do this, I think I'm an adult, if I remember correctly."

"Well, since you want to go so much, I agree." Elrond said while turning the pages of the book.

Elena's eyes lit up, she thought it would take a long time to convince her dear father, but after thinking for a while, she still had some doubts, always feeling that the goal would not be achieved so smoothly, she tilted her head and asked: "Ada, why do I feel like you didn't say anything?"

"Oh, yes," Elrond raised his head and said seriously to Ellena, "I think you should discuss this matter with Legolas, as you said, you have grown up and married, partner Your opinion may be more important than your father's."

I asked you to discuss it because he disagreed, Ellena pursed her lips.

The days went by with clear mornings and clear and cool nights.But autumn is coming to an end, and the golden light is slowly replaced by silvery white light, the fallen leaves are falling from the bare trees, and the biting east wind begins to howl down from the Misty Mountains.The constellation Orion bloomed brightly in the night sky, obscuring other tiny stars, but in the south, there was a red star growing brighter, and not even the moonlight could dim it.Maybe it is not a real star, it is more like a giant eye that never tires, overlooking everything in the world.

That's Sauron.

It wasn't until December that the messengers came back from all directions. On the one hand, they were looking for the whereabouts of the Ringwraiths, and on the other hand, they were looking for the little monster Gollum who escaped in the Mirkwood. information.However, they have not been heard from.

But the expedition had to go, and Elrond called a small council again, and announced the members of the expedition.

"The Fellowship of the Ring must be nine in number, nine living against nine evil undead. Besides you and your faithful gardener, Gandalf will join, for this is the mission he has always had on his shoulders, and It may be the end of his efforts." Elrond paused, and continued Frodo, "and the others will represent the free and peaceful peoples of this world: Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Legolas represents the Elves, Gimli son of Gloin represents the Dwarves, who would at least cross the Misty Mountains, and go farther. As for Men, you should choose Aragorn son of Arathorn, for the ring of Isildur is bound to him."

"Then there are three more places, and I think Frodo will want to be with his little mate." Elena winked at the excited Pippin and Merry, who shouted: "Yes, can't lose Get off us, we want to go with Frodo!"

Elrond glared at Ellena, who encouraged them, and retorted mercilessly: "It's because you don't understand what's on the road in front of you."

"No one knows that," Gandalf said with a smile. "It is true that hobbits instinctively stay away from dangerous things, such as adventure, but they still want to go, or hope that they dare to go with their friends, otherwise they will feel that the Ashamed and unhappy. Elrond, I think their friendship should trump your wisdom in this matter. You know, even if you can conquer Glorfindel as good as Glorfindel, you can't go straight to the evil tower, or Rely on his power to open the way to Mount Doom."

"Your tone is really heavy," Elrond frowned, "but I doubt very much that Shire is not safe from danger. I originally wanted these two men to go back and send a message to warn their fellow countrymen according to their traditions and customs."

"Maybe it's not a problem, we can ask Pippin and Merry to write a letter and leave a token, and the brothers will be happy to send it to Shire." Ellena suggested, and Pippin and Merry nodded quickly. is a good idea.

With the support of Gandalf and Elena, the hobbits successfully persuaded Elrond, who was frowning, to join the team as he wished, and they were so happy that they almost jumped up and sang.

So there was only one position left, and there were two more candidates, Boromir and Ellena.

Aragorn supported Boromir, and Elena complained in her heart that he must not see her and Legolas being sweet in front of him, a lonely family. Gandalf smiled and sat on the side blowing smoke rings, Pippin and In return for Ellena's unwavering support, Merry has kept the others silent.

Boromir was a little embarrassed. As a noble young man with a gentlemanly demeanor, it was not in his style to compete with a lady, but seeing Elrond's expression of disapproval, he swallowed his humble words back in his throat.

For a while, no one spoke, and there was silence all around.

Elena finally compromised with her worried relatives. The way Legolas frowned made her feel a little glaring, and she said: "I think Boromir is more qualified for this position, Aragorn needs to go to Mina Stiles, Boromir can be of greater help."

Hearing her words, many people present were relieved to varying degrees.

"Then, so be it," Elrond sighed, "now that the nine-member team has assembled, you must set off within seven days."

For the remaining seven days Elena behaved as usual, helping Aragorn and Gandalf to find useful books and maps in Elrond's house, perfecting his work with Bilbo, sometimes with Pippin and Merry ran around together.Only in the dead of night would she reveal her concealed sadness where no one could see.

On the evening of the last day, Legolas invited Elena to go for a walk by the river.

The grove has become bare, only tall and straight trunks and countless thin branches are left. The noise of autumn insects seems to have been frozen and buried by the cold air, and there is no sound around, only occasionally the wind blows through the treetops. There was a low rustling sound and the creaking sound of people stepping on fallen leaves.

"You take Linjier with you."

"That sword of yours?"

"Ah."

"Okay then, when will you leave by boat?"

"When you come back."

"I may not be able to come back."

"You will definitely come back, because I am waiting for you."

"But the Silvan elves will not travel westward, and Middle-earth is their homeland."

"You are Sindar, not Sylvain."

"I hate Mirkwood, my father will not abandon his subjects."

"Then I'll stay with you. I'll be where you are."

"..."

"Ok?"

"You close your eyes."

"why?"

"I want to kiss you."

The two stopped, and Legolas was half a head taller than Ellena. He easily pressed Ellena against the tree trunk with one hand, and then lowered his head to taste the sweetness between his lips and teeth.Elena closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist.Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two seemed to melt together.

"I will always be with you."

"Really?"

"of course."

……

In this way, the number of people who set off on the second day became ten people. The extra Ellena said that she just stopped by Lorien, but the people who had participated in the Lonely Mountain mission did not believe her words.

Drop in?When will we be cheated a second time.
