[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

It took Lucius and Annis ten days to walk from the old forest road east to west, and then back to Changhu Town.But this time they set off from Changhu Town and arrived at Old Ferry, but they only camped in the dark forest for one night.Twenty elf guards escorted them all the way. Lucius and Annis rode a horned deer and walked through the dark forest on the elf path.

When they arrived at the edge of the forest, the guards accompanied them to stay here for another night, and finally returned on the third morning with the tools used for the two camping trips along the way.

For the past two nights, Lucius had a very comfortable time.From setting up camp to preparing food, there are guards to complete.If it weren't for such a group of elves appearing in any place outside the forest, Lucius might have moved his mind to keep them.

Continuing to ride the horned deer southward from the entrance of the Fairy Trail, Lucius and Annis arrived at the old ferry before sunset on the third day.

After releasing the two horned deer and letting them go home on their own, Lucius squinted his eyes and looked at the town bathed in the setting sun across the river bank.

In addition to two bags of money, Lucius, who was invited back to the kingdom by Galian, finally got the latest and most detailed map of the mainland in the kingdom.He also made a special trip to the kingdom's database, and copied a large number of books that he had previously coveted for the reason of consulting local chronicles.

According to the information in his hands, the town at the other end of the stone bridge did not have its own name, but was named after the most representative landmark, the Old Ferry.

Laodukou Town does not belong to any force.There are many creatures that come and go to this town, but not many live here for a long time.In history, before the old forest road was abandoned, the prosperity of this town was probably no less than that of some human cities today.It's just that with the passage of time, Laodukou Town has experienced many vicissitudes, and it is inevitable that it will gradually decline.

Looking around from the place where he was, there was only a bridge away, and the east and west banks of the Anduin River looked completely different.The prosperity of the west bank only makes the ruins of the east bank even more desolate.

However, the reason for the abandonment of the East Bank may also have something to do with two well-known settlers near it.

Lucius had been walking along the river bank as he went south from the elf trail.In the area before arriving at the old ferry, he carefully avoided Fort Rosgar, where the skin-changing Beorn and the brown-robed wizard were located.

"Look, Lucius, there is a boat at the pier!" The elf's appearance was too conspicuous, so Lucius asked Anis to put on a dark cloak as well.The cloak was brought from Galian. It was ordinary in texture, but it was stronger and more durable.This kind of cloak is also a popular item in the trade with human caravans.

When Lucius stopped to observe the surrounding situation, Annis had already walked to the bridge first.Then, a wooden boat on the pier on the west bank quickly came into his sight.

Lucius followed Annis' instructions and found that there were people coming and going on the deck of the wooden boat, most of them were porters carrying goods.Judging from the situation, the ship is probably approaching the time of departure.

"If we go over now, we should be able to catch up!" Annis also found out what was going on on the wooden boat, and immediately became excited.

At the beginning, when Lucius and Annis left from Changhu Town, they didn't take any transportation mounts with them.If Thranduil wanted to follow in his footsteps, he probably wouldn't miss this detail.The most common way to travel from Mirkwood to Rohan without horses is by boat.

Shipping on the Anduin is well developed, and as long as there is no extreme weather, you can always reach Rohan faster by boat than by horse.Now if Lucius and Annis wanted to catch up with the progress of the Elf King, the only way they could choose was to take a boat.

It was understandable for Annis to want to catch the nearest boat.Most of the human life in this world is poor, and naturally few people make a living by regular shipping.The ships on the Anduin often belonged to the various caravans that traveled this route.When it will arrive, when it will depart, and whether it will carry passengers, these are all unknowns.

It's just that Lucius was extremely reluctant to find Thranduil. When this temporary goal conflicted with his own plan, he naturally wouldn't consider it even more.

"We won't take this boat, Annis." Lucius shook his head and rejected Annis' proposal, "Now, please put on your cloak hat, we are going to spend the night in this town tonight."

"But why?" Annis didn't follow immediately, "Who knows when the next boat will be? His Majesty has been away for ten days, shouldn't we hurry up?"

"I'll stay here for a few days." Lucius glanced at Anis, and was not ready to coax Anis all the way, "If you insist on looking for His Majesty, we can separate here."

Facing Lucius' extremely calm eyes, Annist suddenly died down.Of course, this does not mean that he has agreed with Lucius' decision.Reluctantly following Lucius' footsteps, Annis put on his hat, but his muttering did not stop: "Your Majesty has been away for so long, what should we do if we can't find him? If we stay for a few more days, no? Can’t catch up even more? Are you really not considering changing your decision? I can go and ask about the sailing time now.”

Lucius stopped in his tracks, and his eyes on Annis gradually cooled down.

He promised to find Thranduil just like he promised Annis to follow him, but it was just a helpless move.He was very satisfied with Annis's good performance before, so he decided to start together again.But just as he had feared, all Silvan elves were absolutely loyal to Thranduil.Annis is no exception.

It's just that his journey has been against Thranduil's will from the very beginning. If Annis, the only one with him, can only hold him back when he conflicts with the Elven King's will, Lu Hughes would just shake off that baggage without hesitation.This is not a fact that will change because of the trust and care given to him by the elves.If he didn't say it clearly, Annis would have no way to understand this truth, and Lucius would naturally not hesitate to say a few sarcastic remarks he is best at: "I left Long Lake Town to complete my own affairs, not to find His Majesty." your whereabouts. If you cannot understand this, your following is of no value to me."

Aside from the initial conflict of command on the battlefield, Lucius has never been more ruthless toward Anis.The wizard's change of face was clearly beyond his expectations, and the former elf commander was stunned.

"Think about who you are willing to be loyal to." Lucius glanced at him and turned away indifferently. "The journey has just begun, and you still have room for regret."

Dialogue on the bridge casts a cloud over the otherwise smooth departure.Annis silently followed Lucius to find a hotel to stay in, and did not speak again.If he decided to leave early the next morning, Lucius would not be surprised, nor would he feel sorry.

It's just that the elves' ability to resist blows is as simple as their minds, which always surprises Lucius.

Annis seemed to have been thinking about it all night, and knocked on Lucius' door early the next morning, and asked straight to the point: "Will you make me an enemy of His Majesty?"

The thoughtless question made Lucius raise his eyebrows.

However, this question is not difficult to answer.

Likes can be stopped, but good feelings will not disappear.

"will not."

"Then I'll continue to follow you and listen to you." Annis growled in a muffled voice, then turned around and went back to her room, where she fell asleep with her head covered.

"Stupid elf, so he can decide to sell himself to you?" Jin Gallon sneered, dismissing Annis' foolish loyalty. "What's the use of letting him follow you, it's a waste of time."

"I need at least a chef." Lucius responded in a light tone, and started to walk out of the hotel.

"Are you really going to find that elf king? Are you not afraid of your secret being discovered?" Long Ling's disdainful tone remained.

Lucius' footsteps stopped, and his tone rose, full of curiosity: "You don't want me to see Thranduil again, why?"

Jin Jialong's voice didn't pause clearly, and he quickly shouted: "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs! How can I feel better after you die?"

"Oh, is that so?" Lucius said mockingly, but he didn't press any further.

The words of Long Ling's mouth are always mixed with truth and falsehood. Lucius only knows that there must be a conspiracy behind his current cooperation, but he has not been able to play his cards.

The geographical location of Laodukou Town is unique, that is, it is next to the Anduin River, and it is also a key node on the East-West Avenue.In the realm east of the Misty Mountains, this place probably has the widest range of material sources.

The first purpose of Lucius' leaving Long Lake Town was to obtain as many potion materials as possible.And Laodukou Town is obviously a place with a high probability of bringing him gains.

However, potion ingredients don't make their way onto the streets by themselves.Even in the daytime, Old Ferry Town was not as lively as Lucius expected.This probably has an absolute relationship with a merchant ship leaving last night.

In order to know where material transactions are most likely to occur, Lucius needs to obtain some special information.And this step has the same acquisition method as his second purpose of going out.

The tavern in Old Ferry Town was located next to the pier. As soon as Lucius walked in, he was enveloped in a dark atmosphere mixed with various strange smells.

There are not a few people in the tavern dressed like Lucius.He slowly approached the bar, took out one of the most common silver coins and threw it to the bartender.Seeing his action, the curious eyes that had been glued to him since he entered the door all disappeared.The humans in the bar started lazily talking about their topics again.

Nasty jokes and novel experiences are the favorite topics of these humans who walk on the continent day and night.What Lucius wanted to know was the usual places where these people traded.

However, before he heard the information he wanted, Lucius saw a short human being squeezed out of a certain circle and approached the bar: "Have you heard that the group of people in the south arrested two people a few days ago?" Elf!"

The author has something to say: from last night when the internet was disconnected to today's noon, Yuanyuan who went out to work just rolled back to the dormitory. This is a chapter update that is late today~ For the sake of a certain circle's sincerity, can you please pray for your love? Don't be stingy with the comments of a few words? [poor eyes]

Thank you two treasures for the land mines!
