[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

The expedition continued to walk into the forest, and they found several melon trees gathered not far from Ningrodale Falls, their branches stretching upwards as if to pierce the sky.

Legolas was about to climb up to have a look, but Ellena stopped him. She walked to the tree trunk and listened carefully for a while, then smiled and shouted to the top in Elvish language: "Hey, Halda, you still have to pretend Didn't you see us?"

Everyone looked at the top of the tree in surprise, and a chuckle came from inside: "We were going to give you and Legolas a surprise, but you discovered it unexpectedly. Lumil and Orofen are both up there."

surprise?Probably frightened.Ellena rolled her eyes and shouted upwards: "Say hello to them for me. There are nine of us in total and we need to stay here for one night. Is it convenient for you?"

"Of course, it's our honor to have the beautiful lady and her friends here, but some of you may have to go to another lookout." Halda agreed readily.

"It's not too late if you listen to me," Ellena glanced at Gimli, and continued, "Besides me, Legolas and Aragorn, there are four hobbits, one A Man from Gondor, and a Dwarf from the Lonely Mountain."

"Dwarves? We haven't dealt with them for a long time." Halda's voice hesitated.

"I assure you that there will be no problems. The people of Thorin are our loyal allies. Although this brat is a bit stupid, his father, Groin, is a very nice person. I know him very well." Ellena explained .

"Okay," Halda said reluctantly, "but you and Legolas have to watch him, I don't want him to tear down our watchtower."

Probably not... Ellena looked at Jin Li who was waving the ax and shouting, thinking with some uncertainty.

After eating some food and drinks provided by Halda, Elina didn't feel sleepy. She sat cross-legged, her long hair, which hadn't been taken care of for a while, hung messily on the ground, and she looked as if she was wrapped in darkness. same.

"Is it cold?" Legolas woke up and put a thick cloak provided by Halda on her, and stretched out his arms to wrap her in his arms. Elina leaned on his shoulder , could not help but let out a comfortable sigh.She pressed her somewhat icy cheek to Legolas' neck, rubbed it, and whispered contentedly, "It's not cold anymore."

They snuggled together and looked at the bright stars beyond the sparse leaves on the top of the tree. Elena called out their names and their origins one by one with great interest, and Legolas added from time to time. Erlina felt that the moonlight tonight seemed a little too intoxicating.

After a while, the wind suddenly stopped, and Legolas' pointed ears trembled, as if he was listening to something.

"What did you hear?" Ellena's hearing was not as sharp as that of Legolas, she asked in a low voice.

Legolas didn't speak, but just signaled Ellena not to speak. Slowly, Ellena also heard hoarse laughter and many chaotic and heavy footsteps not far away, interspersed with the sound of metal impacts. sound.The sound gradually disappeared, and it seemed to be continuing to go south into the forest.

"It's the orcs," Ellena gasped, "They're catching up."

Legolas said with some doubts: "But they left immediately after that, didn't they find us?"

"I think Halda and the other three lured them away, thank you Valla." Ellena breathed a sigh of relief, and Halda who came back later confirmed the news, and he also brought a Another news.

"Just now I saw a creature on a tree that I've never seen before!" he said, "It's not a half-orc, he ran away as soon as I touched the trunk, he looked very careful, and seemed to be very good at climbing trees." All right, or I really thought it was a hobbit."

Elena and Legolas looked at each other, and they thought of a name at the same time, Gollum!

Elena stopped Legolas from questioning, Gulu had already run away, and there was no way to catch him again in a short time, there was no need to cause Halda and the others to blame themselves, besides, it would not be a good thing to catch him , who would guide Frodo without him.

Of course, the latter reason cannot be stated.

Dawn is emerging in the east, and the sun shines on the yellow leaves of the melon tree, making people feel as if it is a refreshing summer morning.Ellena stood up and stretched her body. The blue sky showed a smile through the swaying branches. Looking from one side of the observation deck, the entire Yinguang River seemed to flow through a piece of golden land, which was extremely spectacular.

Legolas stood beside Ellena, bowed his head and kissed Ellena's eyes: "Good morning, Ellena." Ellena responded with a smile on his pointed chin. Kiss: "Good morning, Legolas."

The two humans and one dwarf who were completely ignored by the two of them expressed their displeasure and yelled to leave quickly. Elina snickered at Aragorn's darkened face, and exchanged a sweet treat with Legolas. Kiss climbed down the tree along the rope ladder.

When everyone set off again, it was still early, and the air was filled with the cold breath of winter.Led by Halda and Lumir, they returned to the original path and continued along the west bank of the Yinguang River. There were still many orc footprints on the ground by the river.They walked a long way, but soon Halda turned back into the woods, and stopped by the shadowed bank of the river.

He blew a whistle like a bird, and a responding elf appeared on the opposite side. The two set up a rope above the river bank for everyone to cross the river. Elena looked at the rushing Celebrant River and felt her head was a little bit Dazed, she will never admit that she is a little scared of this.

However, I was still afraid of falling in... Elina glanced at Legolas secretly. He was talking to Halda, but he didn't notice her. He turned his eyes and came up with an idea. "Legolas, my foot hurts so much, it seems to be sprained." Ellena opened her eyes and said nonsense, with a painful expression on her face.

"Ah, let me take a look." Legolas hurried over, and Ellena took advantage of the situation and lay on his back, trying not to let him see: "I want you to carry me."

"May I ask how old are you this year?" Legolas, who knew he had been deceived, said helplessly.

"That's it." Ellena blinked, "A girl's age is a secret, I won't tell you."

"..."

Crossing the river went smoothly, Ellena was on Legolas' back and refused to get off, so Legolas had to carry her across. Of course, even carrying someone on his back would be a piece of cake for His Royal Highness.

"Are you a little heavier?" Legolas leaned close to Ellena's ear and whispered, and Ellena answered him with a gentle smile and twisted his waist hard.

Afterwards, we will enter the core area of ​​Lorien. For safety reasons, Halda insisted on blindfolding Gimli. As a loyal person, Aragorn suggested that everyone should blindfold. Ellena said Agreed, so she would have a reason to take Legolas' hand and go.

The group walked and chatted, Halda, like every elf living in Lorien, described the beauty of Lorien endlessly. Perhaps in his heart, even Aman Continent could not compare to this golden country.This is a land without shadows, they can smell the fragrance of grass and trees, hear the sound of gurgling water, the birds in the sky sing softly, and the sun shining on them is warm but not hot.

In the morning of the next day, they met a whole group of elves who were going to battle. They brought a lot of news from the front and orders from the lord couple.Except for the three of Ellena who had already been here, everyone else was deeply shocked by the fairyland-like beauty in front of them.

"Welcome to Roselorien in the Golden Forest, my dear friends." Ellena smiled.
