[Comprehensive] The Great Devil

When Thranduil first met Sela, he was not yet the king of the woodlands, he was only the prince of the Great Green Forest.

At that time, his father Orofer was still alive, and they had not yet moved north due to the invasion of evil creatures. Even though they had heard that there were new monsters gradually rising in the west, and the ambitions of the monsters were clearly revealed, one day they would Set off a war of resistance throughout Middle-earth——

But before that day came, Thranduil was still a younger, more fearless, and more vigorous Sindar with some idealism.

At that time, he lived in the middle of the forest with many Silvan elves. His father was a ruler with outstanding leadership talents. He successfully integrated all the elf tribes in this forest within a hundred years and made them became an inseparable collective upon which the original woodland kingdom was built.As the son of the king, Thranduil naturally enjoys a high reputation. Even if the Sindar elves are not as good at fighting alone in the dark like Avari, they are not as wise and skilled as the Noldor. , but the Orofer father and son are obviously the best among the Sindar: as the elves with the most beautiful voice, Thranduil was discovered to be a talent for fighting at a very young age. He is very suitable for the battlefield, and he is willing to do it day and night train myself.

Olofer was gratified to have such an excellent offspring, and later facts proved that his son had indeed inherited his leadership talent and carried it forward.

At that time, there were not only Silvan and Sindar in the forest.Thranduil has always known that there are still a few "Rejectors" living on the edge of the forest.The reputation of this race among the elves is not very good. At the beginning, they rejected the call of the Valar with the most resolute attitude, voluntarily stayed in the Middle Earth, and called the elves who moved westward "betrayers".Although the Avari tribe was split later, the number gradually decreased, and it lost its original reputation, but Thranduil still heard about it—they were lonely and indifferent by nature, and they didn't like to live in groups, but without exception, they all knew about it. He is an archery expert among elves.

There are several Avari living on the edge of the forest, and the most famous of them is a female elf named Sera Aragali.

Avari is the best shooter family among the elves, and Huanggu is the best shooter in Avari.

Thranduil had heard her name long ago, but he had never met her.What's more, the ancestors of Avari and the Sindar elves had some minor grievances, and the relationship between the two groups was not harmonious.If it wasn't for that accident, she would probably always be a familiar name to him.

It was an ordinary day in the forest.

Spring is slowly passing, and the branches and leaves are getting brighter and greener.The strongest group of king deer in the dense forest finally gave birth to offspring.Although the elves are very explosive and sensitive, they are not known for their endurance. If they need to travel far and wide, they still need to use mounts—Wang Lu is born for this.The elves will select the best offspring in the herd for cultivation, and only the heirs of the woodland kingdom are eligible to ride it.It's a pity that the king deer has a very low reproductive rate like the elves, so each generation is precious enough, and the elves will specially assign a group of people to take care of them carefully, so that the young deer can grow up smoothly.

And that day, an elf reported that Thranduil's exclusive fawn mischievously bit through the cage door and ran out, and there was no trace of it anywhere nearby.

This was not an insignificant matter. Thranduil's exclusive mount was lost, so of course he couldn't pretend to be someone else.He is the best hunter in the kingdom, and he decided to go find it himself.

The elves are not the only creatures in the dense forest, there are many threatening carnivores around. Although the young deer have grown strong horns, they are still unable to fight against them.Thranduil was very anxious, from dawn to night, he did not stop all the way, following the tiny trail left by the young deer, he found the edge of the forest.

Then he heard a thin whine, a sound he was familiar with.

still alive!This is good news for him.

He immediately cheered up and ran all the way, took out his bow and arrow and began to charge.However, when he saw the scene in front of him, even though he was a prince who had experienced many battles, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback——

A wooden arrow accurately shot into the calf's hoof joint, instantly immobilizing it, but it did not die immediately.Thin bloodstains were stained around the soil, and the fawn collapsed on the fallen leaves, screaming in pain.

Not birds of prey.It was also a spirit that shot it.

Thranduil put down the bow and arrow in his hand, raised his head and stared intently.

Among the dense branches and leaves, a slender figure stepped on the trunk of a giant tree.The leaves covered her face, and he couldn't see the other person's appearance, but he could recognize her as a female elf from her body shape.Then he saw the clothes she was wearing, the dull color, the style that didn't match theirs.Thinking that this is the edge of the forest, Thranduil immediately understood her identity——

She is an Avari.

But even Avari, as long as the elves don't eat meat, they don't need to take the initiative to harm spiritual animals, let alone the deer who have always been very close to them.When Thranduil saw that the approaching party was not a threatening carnivore but a deer, he seemed to be taken aback, then retracted his bow and arrow, jumped off the branch, and walked towards the deer.

Her movements were familiar and extremely light, and there was almost no sound when her toes landed on the ground, not even the wind disturbed her.If he hadn't discovered her in advance, and the arrow had exposed her position, maybe he would have passed by here without noticing, and would never have expected that there was an elf lurking in the tree.

This Avari seems to be more suitable for survival and hunting in the dense forest and the dark night.

Thranduil knew that he couldn't do this now, and the opponent's skills were obviously better than his own.Of course, the facts quickly proved his judgment——

"Come out." A very cold female voice.

She found him - Thranduil raised his eyebrows in surprise, remained silent for a few seconds, and then came out from behind the tree.

Then he saw what she looked like.

blue eyes?Hmm... Although it is beautiful, there is nothing unusual about it. There are many eyes of this color in his group.But gray hair?This was not very common - he was sure that most of the Avari race were born with a silvery hair color, and he had never seen elves with such a strange shade of hair.It's not the pale gray that is exhausted by the bleak vitality, but the hazy moonlight, or the lake illuminated by the moonlight.Weird, unique, but also unexpectedly...beautiful?

At that time, the prince was still in a period of strong curiosity, and the other party's distinctive hair color immediately caught his attention. He looked at the female elf without blinking. It was obvious that Avari didn't like him like this. Straightforward gaze——

She frowned lightly, then took out a small fruit shell from the quiver behind her and threw it over, her expression and voice remained unchanged, and she said concisely, "Medicine."

She accidentally shot his deer.She also knew that the other party was an elf in the middle of the forest, and looking at his hair color, it was probably not an ordinary elf.

Even so, she looked like she didn't want to pay attention to him.Xiaolu accidentally stepped into the private domain, and without thinking about it, she wounded it with a backhand arrow.Although the deer is innocent, but she thinks that she took out the herbal medicine that she collected, it has been counted as compensation, and there is nothing to be sorry for, so——

The female elf glanced at him indifferently, turned around and wanted to leave.

Avari was indeed as arrogant as others said - Thranduil watched her back, ignored her thoughts, and stopped her in time.

"Are you... Huanggu?"

Some people are born with pride, and some people have their eyes high because of their unrivaled skills—obviously, the female elf in front of her is a combination of the two.

It's not that Thranduil has never seen Avari before, but those rejecters, all the skills combined are not as light as the wind and the talent that the body is ahead of the mind and the talent that she showed. high.She's the best shooter he's ever seen.Among the names he has heard in recent years, probably only "Huang Gu" can bear this title.

Sure enough, the female elf stopped in her tracks.

She turned to look at him.

Blue is supposed to give people a clear and clear feeling, but in her eyes, it only looks a little indifferent, a kind of indifference between almost calm and ruthless, and it seems that it is not like other elves who are born with all things. Be generous.She stared at the blond Sindar elf, and even her tone didn't fluctuate.

"Yes. How?" she asked.

Thranduil didn't prepare for the next step, he just stopped her out of curiosity about the strong, but he didn't expect the other party to actually respond.He paused for a few seconds, trying to calm down before the embarrassment began to spread, and decided to start with the step of introducing himself——

"I am Thranduil, son of Orofer, a Sindar who lives in the middle of the forest."

"..."

Araya was silent for a while.

"Oh."

she responded.

Then she looked at him blankly.Thranduil would never suspect that if the next sentence he said was "Nice to meet you and see you again", she would turn around and disappear from his sight without hesitation.

"..." This elf...is a bit out of line...

Thranduil stood there with a strange expression on his face.

"Yo—" the little deer who was left on the sidelines called sadly.

Seeing that the blond elf only pursed her lips, Sera seemed to have nothing to say. She paused for a second to confirm that the other party would indeed not blame her for the deer's injury, so she withdrew her eyes and looked at it without hesitating. Backing up the bow and arrow, he turned around and left, quickly climbed up the branch of one of the giant trees, and disappeared completely from his sight within half a minute.

Thranduil was taken aback, "..."

go, go?

This Avari is just too unfriendly... that's what he thought at the time - not at all like the Silvan elves.No wonder this group has been unable to integrate into other groups in the forest. Instead, it always wanders around the edge like a lone traveler, only occasionally seeing their passing figures.

"Yoyo~" Xiaolu sadly reminded the elf again.This owner is really unreliable, didn't he come to look for it?Didn't he see it hurt?Why not take it back?It's been lying here for a long time, can you take another look at it?Is it still the little princess who is the sweetheart of the elves?

Thranduil came back to his senses.He finally realized that the focus seemed to be wrong, coughed lightly, and bent over to hug the injured fawn back, but when his eyes touched the fruit shell on the ground, he paused—the shell was wrapped tightly with dried leaves. Well, only the faint fragrance diffused - he was very familiar with this smell, it was the smell that the elves specially collected herbs and boiled to heal wounds.

This Avari seems to have always been a loner... not at all like his people.Maybe she is poor?Maybe it's her only medicine?Will it be a problem for him to take it back like this?Or should I return it when I run out?

——Thranduil thought so, then reached out to pick up the husk and put it close to his body, then went to hug the yelling deer, looked back at the direction where she disappeared, and slowly returned to the original path——

Yes, Avari must be poor, so he has to pay her back, what if she gets hurt accidentally? —Wait, which direction does she live in the forest?

Alas, he should have asked one more question.But why did he hold back and didn't ask her?

Thranduil couldn't help sighing, lowered his head, and met Xiaolu's big sad eyes, fixed for a second, then looked away unnaturally.

——Since you will meet her here, next time you come, look around more, you will always meet her... right?

Even if you don't happen to see her next time... come a few more times, you will always meet her once.Can she still run out of this forest?

...a strange elf.Thranduil thought.Although I only saw it once, and it was only a few minutes, it was strange and left a very strong impression on him, which I had never experienced before.

This is the first time Thranduil and Sela met.

The author has something to say: I think back then that Seddy also had a period of youthful and frivolous youth... Who is not a baby?

The next chapter continues to recall killing.
