[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

The feud between elves and dwarves has a long history, and even the friendship of fighting together in the Battle of Five Armies has not changed much.

Sorin narrowly escaped death because of Lucius' method, which immediately reversed the sad atmosphere of the war ending.The orc army was defeated, but a dozen dwarves who traveled from afar accomplished the impossible feat and restored the glory of Erebor.Without any suspense, Ironfoot Dann returned with the dwarf coefficient of Iron Mountain.

But the dwarves of the Iron Mountains had a history of their own during the long time that Smaug had occupied Erebor.In terms of the metal production of the dwarves, during the lonely years in the desert, they have already saved enough money to be able to move in a few months.

From the Iron Mountains to Erebor, the overland route was closer, but the dwarves had no means of large enough transport to rely on.The waterway is far and tortuous, but it has a good capacity.However, the run of the Riverrunning between the Iron Mountains and Erebor was interrupted by the land of the Ridermen, and the prevalence of pirates blocked this passage as well.

The speed at which the ants moved made Erebo still an empty nest with most of the area vacant.But it can be predicted that as long as time passes, the number of dwarves in Erebor will continue to increase until it reaches a level that Thranduil would hate just thinking about it.

Sit back and watch the dwarves grow stronger again, of course the elves are extremely unhappy.So Changhu Town naturally couldn't give it up.However, the rebuilding of the human territory would go against Thranduil's consistent external style, so the situation turned into a dilemma.

Galian quickly revisited the suggestion that the elves and dwarves negotiate to retreat and humans develop alone.But he was immediately rejected by Bard without hesitation.

The situation stalemates in a cycle where humans, elves, and dwarves meet and negotiate again and again, and then fail quickly.

Earth-gray camp tents are a practical color choice for human beings as always.Lucius and Galian followed Thranduil from left to right, walked into Bard, the main tent that they were already familiar with, and prepared to start the countless tripartite negotiations in these days.

Bard also lost his courtesy and thoughtfulness to Thranduil in the repeated wrangling.Seeing a line of elves coming in, he just nodded wearily to the three leaders.

The elves' New Year's celebration is a calendar event based on the seasonal changes.And in the past few days, the best seeding period for human beings is about to be missed.Except for the elves who are rich and powerful in terms of food, both humans and dwarves have become anxious after seeing it.And because the manpower moved south to the camp in Changhu Town, the progress of spring planting in River Valley City was also stuck at a very slow rate.

One ebbs and another, the human beings with the shortest lifespan are also dragged down from the detached neutral position and become the most anxious one.

"Your Majesty Thranduil, I very much hope that today's negotiations can make substantial progress, and I hope you can continue to give humanity your support, okay?" Bard spoke anxiously, trying to use words that were not very different from before. Talking about the Elf King who has been moving like a mountain, "The dispute in Changhu Town is a matter for the three parties to reach a consensus after all. What difference does it make if it is earlier or later? If production is not resumed, human beings will have no way to give themselves this year." Produce enough food. You can't keep asking the elves for help..."

"Human beings are friends of the elves, and there is nothing wrong with helping them." Thranduil looked as usual after sitting down, and his response was exactly the same as the previous few days.

Bud showed a discouraged look.But Lucius glanced at the former, silently turned his gaze away, and did not speak.

In fact, Lucius could understand Bard's concerns.

From a human point of view, as long as the elves are allowed to participate and the reconstruction of Changhu Town starts, no matter whether the dwarves verbally promise to withdraw from participating in Changhu Town, the final result will be the same.If human strength grows slower than dwarves, they will inevitably become the vassal of dwarves because of their weakness.And this is precisely the human error that Bard is unwilling to repeat anyway.

Humans don't want to be the granary for the dwarves to have whatever they want.You can only hold on to the elves to check and balance the dwarves.

But this touched Thranduil's bottom line again.Without enough benefits, he is unwilling to be used by humans.

When Sorin led Balin and Dwalin into the human camp, a large burst of damp early spring breath was drawn in through the opened door curtain.The three dwarves didn't say hello to humans and elves, and sat down as soon as they came in.When looking at Thranduil, the hostility of the dwarves was automatically armed.

"Speak." Thorin raised his chin, speaking concisely.

Bud opened his mouth, but nothing came out.Fisherman-turned-humans have really run out of words the past few days.

"What else to say, don't talk so much nonsense, you humans will start rebuilding directly, and it will be over if we help?" Dewalin said in a low voice, very impatient.

"I have invited His Majesty Thranduy to participate in the rebuilding of Long Lake Town," Bard emphasized again, "Humans will not rebuild Long Lake Town alone."

"If the elves participate, the dwarves will never withdraw." Thorin said to Bard, but his eyes were always facing Thranduil.

"So the three parties will jointly build the city, as long as a suitable mayor is selected as the agent..." Bud repeated his old tune, looking at Thranduil.

"Long Lake Town is a human territory, so it is natural that a human being be the mayor is the most suitable choice." Thranduil once again rejected Bard's request.

"No, humans won't be the mayor. We..." Bud paused unnaturally, and looked at Galian, "There is no suitable candidate. So I still suggest that the nearest elf should come..."

"We will never agree to the elves taking charge of Changhu Town, never!" Dwalin interrupted immediately, staring at Galian provocatively.

The same conversation was repeated every day, but Lucius, who had been brought by Thranduil's side, remained silent.On occasions where Gallian's slow temper would say a few words more or less, only Lucius kept quiet as if he was aloof, watching from the sidelines.

But today, Thorin, who usually always blushes with humans and elves and has a thick neck, rarely talks less.

Catching this special signal, Lucius met Thorin's eyes when he looked up.

"Why did you inform me to come?" When Sorin asked this sentence five days ago, the two sides who passed each other stopped at the moment they almost missed.When Lucius turned his head back, there was some amusement in his eyes.Because, he originally thought that such a conversation with Thorin would not happen until Lucius himself came to the door.

"What are you laughing at?" Dwalin, who had the most upright temper, was the first to attack at that time.

"I'm honored by the dwarf king's attention." Lucius' smile deepened, and he bowed in Thorin's direction less seriously.However, judging from the height difference between the two parties, this half salute basically didn't have any effect it should have.Dwalin frowned, still hostile.

"To answer your question just now, my answer is," Lucius paused, and met Thorin's gaze, "I don't want to be the shadow of Thranduil."

"So?" Thorin folded his arms and raised his head with a straight face.

Lucius glanced at Bahrain and Dwalin who were following Thorin.Then slowly said: "I want you to agree to let me be the mayor of Changhu Town during the negotiation."

Thorin immediately smiled contemptuously: "Why would an elf naively think that I would agree to any of his requests."

Facing the direct refusal, Lucius ignored the sarcasm flashing on Dwalin's face and Balin's prudence, curled his lips, and said something that made the faces of the three dwarves on the opposite side change greatly: "First, I saved your life, And if it wasn't for me, you know where you would be now."

As Thorin and Dwalin scowled, and Balin frowned, Lucius went on to say, "Secondly, you support me and I give back. We can make a deal where you make me the Mayor of Changhu Town, I promise you three things. First, the sale of food in Changhu Town will never be restricted to the dwarves. Second, as long as the army of the dwarves does not come to occupy Changhu Town, I promise that the food in Changhu Town will never be restricted. The gate is always open to the dwarves. You and I both know that the reason why you are willing to come is also because," Lucius paused, and confirmed that the three dwarves listened quietly, with an affirmative tone, "There is a group of dwarves migrating from the Blue Mountains. The team will be here soon."

The last sentence successfully made Sorin put away his anger and seemed to be thinking, and Dwalin behind him even showed a surprised look.

"Third," at this moment, Lucius finally threw out his biggest bargaining chip, "I will propose and facilitate the reconstruction of the old forest road by the three parties."

"I heard that the dwarves have always wanted to take back the mines of Moria, have they not?"

"We will never agree to the elves taking charge of Changhu Town, never!" Sorin looked at Lucius for a short moment, and the dwarf king pulled his gaze back, and his tone was firm.

Thorin's statement brought this negotiation to a stalemate again. Bard almost clenched his fists and forced a word out of his throat: "But..."

"But," Sorin suddenly said again, breaking the deadlock with one sentence, "but Lucius, it's fine."

Everyone present was stunned at the same time, and fell silent for a moment.

When Lucius felt that Bud's eyes subconsciously looking at him were changing from disappointment and astonishment to surprise, the wooden table in front of him made a muffled "bang--".

The pretentious negotiating table received a slap from the Elven King unprepared.Thranduy stood up abruptly, covered in anger, and left without looking back.
