[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

No matter what kind of historical background it is in, if a place like a tavern exists, it must be the most mixed.In the tavern, the most widely heard news, but not necessarily true.

Rationally speaking, no matter how coincidental the news came, Lucius didn't have to worry about the possibility of Thranduil being captured.If the strength of the elf king was so weak, he should have fallen on the battlefield thousands of years ago.But the little man's words still made Lucius's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help paying attention to what he said next.

But on the surface, he was naturally completely unmoved, taking a sip of the low-quality grain wine brought up by the boss from time to time, acting like a traveler who came in to keep warm.

On the contrary, the owner of the tavern obviously hadn't heard of this new thing, and immediately showed an expression of interest: "Don't the elves never leave their territory easily? How come two of them ran out?"

"Who knows what they think? They come out naturally when they like to come out." The short man was very dissatisfied with the boss's question, and immediately went on to tell the news he knew, "It is said that they are all beautiful, but they are tall. They're all men."

"Can the male elf be easily captured?" The boss immediately sneered, obviously knowing that elves are famous for their high combat effectiveness.

"Of course it's not easy to be caught. Can the elves be so easy to catch?" The short man lowered his voice a little, and said mysteriously, "They are using tricks!"

"Cheat? Are elves so easy to deceive?"

"Under normal circumstances, of course, it's not easy to lie, otherwise they have lived so long in vain. But I heard that these two elves are special. They seem to come out to find someone. When those people say they have news, they are not fooled gone."

Lucius' relaxed state of mind suddenly became tense again.Although the rumors are specious, if there are enough conditions that match, they will not be groundless.Thranduil's strength and wisdom are infallible, but he is not impossible to be deceived.You must know that the despicable methods of human beings have always emerged in endlessly.The wisdom of the Elven King is effective for his world, but it may not be fully adapted to the human social environment.

"So what if you are fooled, as long as it is fake, it will always be exposed. After being exposed, can they escape?"

"That's true!" The group of people the little man said were obviously not troubled by this question, "When those two found out that something was wrong, they had already been tricked into boarding the boat, and the boat had already left the dock. They were on the boat at that time. The fight started, and the scene was a mess! You know how powerful the elves are, they fought against more than a dozen people, and they were not opponents, and two were injured."

"What then?"

"Later, all the people on board came out and besieged it together! It succeeded in the end."

"Everyone can catch the elf by besieging it? Where did you hear the story?" When the boss heard the sloppy ending, his expression turned bad, he waved his hand, and looked at the little man with contempt.

"Fart! I saw it with my own eyes!" The little man blushed as if he had been attacked, and was about to jump up in anger, "You think I'm talking casually? They obviously cheered at the end, and the boat approached again. It's landed! I've been listening to the people on the boat who came down from the dead body! If you don't want to listen, forget it, it's a disappointment!"

"Why, you still want to say that they killed the elves? Do they have the guts?" The boss still didn't believe it, but he couldn't bear to miss a possible wonderful story just like that.

"Of course not elves, what is a dead elf worth?" The short man rolled his eyes several times at the boss, put on airs for a long time before continuing after the boss gave him more wine, "Dead human! Died during the siege Dropped! Once there were more humans besieging, the two elves couldn’t stand it anymore. It took them a long time to besiege and found out that one elf’s arm was injured! They also used guns and hidden weapons and fought all afternoon. Bring those two elves down!"

"Really? Where did you see it?"

"It's right on the Graton Plains! If you don't believe me, pull it down!" The short man snorted arrogantly, turned around and left the bar with his wine glass in hand, and got into another group of people.

Lucius listened for a long time, and the worry in his heart did not diminish at all.The useful clues that the short man gave were neither too many nor too few, which sounded exaggerated, but they were extremely accurate on a few key points.Two elves came out to find someone, they were strong in combat but their arms were injured.

With these pieces of information pieced together, it was absolutely impossible for Lucius to lie to himself, even Thranduil couldn't do it.

After spending another half day in the tavern, the little man had no intention of leaving.To avoid being found out, Lucius left the tavern when there was a sound from the pier.He waited in the alley corner outside the tavern until it was completely dark before the little man stumbled out of the tavern drunk and walked towards the hotel.

Lucius easily caught the man, and directly captured his mind to seek proof.

This is the fastest way to verify the authenticity of the message.If everything the little man knew was just hearsay, Lucius just pretended he hadn't heard the news.

However, the result of the insomnia did not dispel Lucius' worries, but made him even more irritable.

Of course, the man's words were bragging, but, in his memory, Lucius did see Thranduil and Hardion boarding a large merchant ship from a distance.The movement of the ship, the cheers on the deck, and the subsequent re-docking and lifting of the dead body were all on the right track.Even the other information that was heard came from this man who followed a human being who got off the boat for a long time before finding a chance to ask.

Lucius made up his mind from the very beginning to avoid Thranduil as much as possible.But at this time, he couldn't help but get annoyed by the news about his relationship with the Elf King.

Is Thranduil safe now?

If safety was not an issue, why did he blatantly board a human merchant ship with an unfamiliar label?Is it really because the other party provided information about themselves?

After all, why on earth did Thranduil leave the Woodland Kingdom?Did you really come to find him?What if I found it?

Lucius suddenly fell into the difficult choice of chasing or not chasing.

As for the trading location in Old Ferry Town, before leaving the tavern, Lucius had already heard it, it was just above the pier.

However, this town is the terminal of the east-west avenue, and the west is still a mountain pass.Geography limited the amount of cargo a caravan could carry.Therefore, there are not many caravans from the west, and most of them only rest here for a short time, and then go straight north to the Woodland Kingdom.As for the caravans going upstream from Rohan, they often go up empty ships. In addition to buying the products from the forest here, what they earn is basically the fees of passengers on the boats along the Anduin River.After all, taking cargo on the way north will seriously affect the speed of the ship, and there are not many good sales of goods in the north.The result of doing so is not worth the candle.

Therefore, humans would only gather at the pier and conduct transactions when merchant ships were docked, and Lucius just missed a trip.According to the information left by people on the notice board at the pier, the next merchant ship that may arrive at Old Ferry Town will take at least five days to arrive here.

If he turned a blind eye to the news of Thranduil, all Lucius could do right now was to stay in the hotel and wait for the next merchant ship to arrive.

Walking back to the hotel with extremely complicated emotions, Lucius saw Annis who had prepared dinner waiting for him boredly as soon as Lucius entered his room.

"Lucius, I walked around when I went to buy food just now." Because Annis knew in advance that Lucius had gone out to find something, he didn't show any concern because of his late return, "This The town is quite small. Except for the hotel, tavern and artisan workshop next to the pier, other places seem to be quite deserted. Apart from the hotel, I can't find other places that sell food. However, I am in the town I saw some people coming back with prey on their shoulders. I just don’t know if they went to the forest on the other side of the river or to the mountains.”

Annis probably accepted Lucius' order to stay for a few days. When the latter was struggling with Thranduil's information, he learned about the situation in Old Ferry Town very carefully and in a planned way, and started planning ahead of time. Future living arrangements: "Those hunters did not live in hotels, but instead camped in the abandoned houses on the outskirts. Judging by their appearance, they don't seem to have settled here. Maybe we can consider arrangements like them. To be honest, although this hotel looks good, in comparison, I think it is more convenient to live in your tent. That way you don’t have to worry about safety when you are going to do something.”

Find a place to live, familiarize yourself with the environment and collect all possible materials for potion research.

This sounded like a plan that Snape liked, and it was Lucius' original idea.There were still five days before the arrival of the merchant ship, and Lucius had nothing to do if he had to wait.The books copied from the Woodland Kingdom still need to be read, and the various materials obtained in Changhu Town did not completely correspond to the previous potion material system.In addition, listening to Snape reciting those off-the-wall material information that only he would remember and recording it was also an inevitable work content.

Lucius, who just went back to the room and sat down, felt upset and irritable for no reason.

Anyway, since Thranduil could get on the human merchant ship by himself, there probably wouldn't be any problem.

Even if it is true that he has an injury on his arm, the siege of orcs will not affect his battle, let alone worry about what a group of human beings who run business all the year round can really do to him, right?

"Is there anything I need to do in the next few days?" Annis, who was mentally prepared, leaned forward with all her faces, asking for help in a flattering way.

"First," Lucius paused, then said slowly, "Go buy two horses."

"what?"
