"Ani! Ani!" Legolas's current volume can be called "shouting" in the quiet golden Luolin that makes people unable to bear to break the tranquility.

"What to do, Legolas, don't follow me all the time." Anila walked forward with a blank expression.

"Ani." Legolas caught up with Anila and grabbed her, feeling extremely helpless, "I just didn't realize it for a while last night, there is no other meaning, don't think so much, okay?"

"Okay, I get it. Can I let go now, is it a good thing to talk about here?" Anila frowned, withdrew her hand, and continued walking without looking back.

"What happened to your eyes?" Legolas caught up to her. "Why did you hide it from me?"

"Gondor fought Mordor a year and a half ago, and I was injured in that battle." Anila explained lightly, "I didn't deliberately hide it from you, but I didn't take the initiative to tell you. "

"Apart from the eyes? Any other injuries?"

"The right hand was broken, three ribs were broken, and there was a hole in the head. I'm basically fine now." Anila's tone was dry, as if she was reading a boring financial statement, "I'm lucky, For a while I couldn't see in both eyes, and after a few weeks the sight in the left eye came back slowly, but the right eye seemed to be the only way it could be—"

She couldn't help but stop talking, because Legolas looked very ugly, as if he would never see anything again.

"Sorry, I said too much, what's the point of mentioning him in the past?" Anila smiled, "Don't pay too much attention to it, anyway, I'm still alive, right?"

"Is it because of these injuries?" Legolas asked her, without looking at him, he could imagine how scarred Anila's body was under the cover of that gorgeous and exquisite cloth, "because of your eyes and Those scars, did you change your mind?"

"There is a reason for this." Anila replied calmly, interrupting Legolas before he could speak, "Legolas, I am a human and you are an elf, the gap between us is more than that. Is it possible to live forever? Even if I don’t have these scars and disabilities on my body, can you imagine what I look like after a few decades? But you, nothing will change.”

Legolas was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Annie, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I didn't expect you to care so much, because... I thought you knew that what attracted me was not It's all about appearance, that's not even enough to constitute a reason for me to love you..."

Anila narrowed her eyes: "Do you mean I'm ugly?"

"How come? You are so beautiful!" Legolas said without hesitation, with great certainty, but hearing this from an elf, Anila always felt that it was not convincing. "But if you really care about your appearance, Ani, we can ask ada to help you with magic. Half of his face was destroyed many years ago when he fought with the dragon in the north. It's not just a few scars. , no one can see it now."

"Even if the appearance can be hidden, the aging of the body is irreversible." Anila choked.I was careless, and I even forgot that Thranduil still has this skill, "After a few years, I will become weak and sickly, unable to do anything, and need your care for everything, do you think I can tolerate this kind of thing?"

"Why do you need to endure this kind of thing?" Legolas was very puzzled, "Isn't it natural for a husband to take care of his wife? Even when you were young, Annie, it wouldn't be any different."

"That's different." Anila frowned and explained, "You treat me well now, and I can pay back double; but when I get old, even if I want to do something for you, most of the time I have more than I can do... "

Anila didn't finish her sentence, but Legolas had already heard what she meant.

For Anila, sharing thick and thin is easy, but getting something for nothing is unbearable.

Anila has always firmly believed that if you give something, you will get something.Even though she came to Middle-earth and started a new life, Elrond and Glorfindel favored her because she gave up her freedom and took responsibility; The solid alliance was forged by her with blood and sweat; the respect and love of the people of Gondor and the prime minister's family was forged by her in countless sleepless and exhausting days.Even Aragorn, if there was something inappropriate about what she did, wouldn't he still look down and yell at her?

But it doesn't matter, it's not hard for Anila to give, what makes her restless is Legolas' seemingly aimless and unrequited love.

This kind of personality is probably related to Anila's past experience. For a long time, Anila did not trust anyone except herself.Even if it was his own biological mother, he would abandon her for some reason, let alone others?

Later, she lived alone for 700 years, and she was used to being independent and not used to being attached to anyone. Even if that person is Legolas, if you make her completely dependent on him with peace of mind, she would rather ask a servant to take care of herself and pay for it .

Legolas didn't know about Anila's past, but he still knew about Anila after decades of companionship and attention.

"You're not wrong at all, Legolas, it's me," Anila said.

Since the problem is not with you, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

Legolas stared at Anila for a while, then bent his mouth helplessly: "Don't worry, Anila, I won't give up."

Anila frowned: "Don't you understand what I said?"

Legolas just smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair, but Anila blushed angrily.

It is because you understand it that you know how fragile and cowardly your heart is under the seemingly hard and stubborn shell.You haven't even noticed that you have been able to subconsciously show in front of me those little daughters who don't belong to Queen Lien Snow, so if I take a step forward, can you entrust yourself to me more unreservedly?

Before leaving Lorraine, the conflict between Anila and Aragon was finally resolved.Anila found Aragorn, sincerely reflected on her mistakes and apologized to Frodo, until Frodo flattered that he didn't care about it, and Aragorn scolded Anila again with a straight face. It's over.

All the way down the Anduin River, until the fork of the river, you will return to Minas Tiris if you go west, and you will go to Mordor if you go east.

"It's time for you to go back to Gondor." Aragorn said to Anila, "You are still the emperor of Gondor, and your countrymen and people need you."

Anila responded casually, and Aragorn doubted whether she would really be so obedient, or whether she was thinking of something else in her unpredictable head.

"So, what shall the rest of us choose? Do we join Annie and Boromir in the war of Gondor? Or throw ourselves into the shadows and fears of the East? Or shall we be separated at our own will? In any case , decide quickly! The enemy is probably not far from us."

Gandalf is absent, Aragorn is silent, and the decision is finally handed over to Frodo.The others were not without their own ideas and suggestions, but they all knew that they had no right to choose for Frodo at this time.

They waited a long time by the river for Frodo to make his choice, and discussed the probabilities and consequences of Frodo's various choices, and an hour passed before they knew it.

"Mr. Frodo hasn't come back yet," said Sam worriedly.

"Where is Boromir? Where has he gone?" Aragorn saw Boromir's lonely shield beside the tree root.

"Ani is gone too." Legolas looked around and frowned.

Frodo walked aimlessly in the forest alone, the roar of Lalos Waterfall echoed in his ears, and his mind kept replaying what everyone had said to him, Gandalf, the Walker, Sam , Boromir... and the Emperor of Humanity.

Frodo had never seen Anela before, and he had always heard of the person in Bilbo's stories, though Bilbo was not in the habit of calling Anela by her real or honorific name, even when he had received it from Gandalf. After learning of Anila's true identity, he still stubbornly called Empress Lien Shelter Velodis—Miss Future, a name that makes people feel great hope and longing.

In Bilbo's adventures, Velodis is the most beloved character besides Gandalf, because the dwarves have as many faults as they have good points, but not all hobbits can accept a big one. Help someone you don't even know break into the house and wipe out all the food.Even the great King of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield, has always been criticized for his dragon disease.

As for Velodis, there is no controversy. In Bilbo's description, she is elegant and wise, eloquent, brave and vigorous, upright and kind, calm and resolute, and she is almost synonymous with all virtues.

When Frodo was young, he believed in Bilbo's story and admired Velodis very much. Later, when he grew up, he began to doubt, how could there be such a perfect person in this world? People with shortcomings?

But influenced by his childhood, when he learned that he could see Anila, Frodo still couldn't restrain his excitement.

Then he met Queen Lian Shelt for the first time at the meeting in Rivendell, and had the honor to spend more than two months with Her Majesty the Queen.

……

If you asked Frodo to talk about his impression and evaluation of the Emperor, he racked his brains, but he could only say two weak words.

perfect.

It's perfect.

It is exactly the same as what Bilbo said "elegant and wise, eloquent, brave and vigorous, upright and kind, calm and resolute".

The only thing that differs greatly from Bilbo's description is that Bilbo once said of Velodis:

"Velodys doesn't surprise you the first time you see her," he said, "but her personality is unquestionable, no one can resist her smile, and she is the most comfortable being with her." One of the things, she is the most approachable and gentle human being I have ever met... oh my god, she is the emperor, I have to be surprised by that..."

But His Majesty Lian Shelt that Frodo saw was not such a character at all. She looked like a real human emperor, proud and conceited, noble and majestic, even a little melancholy and cold.In the past two months, unless necessary, Queen Lienshelt never took the initiative to speak to Frodo, and Frodo respected her very much and feared her, and she would not take the initiative to provoke the topic.

Over time, Frodo had the illusion that His Majesty Lian Shelt actually looked down on such a small person as him.On the snow mountain of Callander, Gandalf gave him the choice of whether to go to the mines of Moria, but Queen Lienshet immediately refuted, although Frodo also thought whether this would be a relief for him , but still feel that the other party is actually just worried about letting him make the decision.

In fact, if I really had to choose, I would follow your advice and go to the Moria Mine, he wanted to tell Queen Lien Shelt for a while.

But Gandalf fell in Moria, and Frodo was silent. At this time, he began to rejoice that the decision to go to the mine pit was voted by everyone and not made by him alone.

But now, the expedition team came to the fork again, and the burden of making a choice finally fell on him.

In fact, Frodo knew very well which way he should go. Of course it was Mordor. This was what he had to do. The task of forgetting oneself is to destroy the Lord of the Rings.

What was holding him back now was his fear of Mordor, but he knew he would overcome it, or he would have thrown the Ring into the Anduin by now and found a place to hide, Another reason for his hesitation was the other members of the expedition team.

Would they be willing to go to Mordor with him?Certainly there were those who would not, but Frodo knew they would choose to be with him in the end, and that was not what he wished for, in fact he would have preferred to go on his last journey alone, and the rest of the expedition let him He was terrified, they were all good companions, but the more they were like this, the more he was afraid that they would gradually become evil under the influence and erosion of the Lord of the Rings.

What disturbed him in particular was the pair of master and servant in Gondor: Lynxet and Boromir.Boromir has been perseveringly trying to persuade everyone to bring the Lord of the Rings back to Gondor. As for Lian Shete, although she never agreed with Boromir's ideas, Frodo doubted whether she would trust such an idea. The weak self, let him take the Lord of the Rings to Mount Doom alone.

He was in a daze for a long time, then suddenly woke up, and suddenly turned to look behind him, and saw Boromir with a kind face appearing behind him.

"You should be more careful, Frodo, the goblins may be around, and none of us should be alone." He said with a look of concern, "not to mention you, the fate of all of us is now bound up with you." , You bear such a heavy responsibility, I understand how you feel."

"I know what you are going to say, Boromir," answered Frodo curtly, "but I have no other choice, and it was clear at the meeting in Rindale which way I should go."

"That's because you only thought of the damage the Ring would do to us, but never of what good we could do with it!" Boromir said loudly, "Now that the Ring is in our hands, it is What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Be obedient and lend the Lord of the Rings to Gondor!"

"No!" Frodo drew back warily.

"You stupid, self-righteous fool!" Boromir was a little annoyed. "Do you really think you can throw the Lord of the Rings into the Doomsday Volcano? You are sending the Lord of the Rings to Sauron for nothing! Ah, I Got it! That's your real purpose, isn't it? You want to sell us all to Mordor! Go to hell, you wretched dwarf!"

As he cried, he stretched out his hand to take the Ring, and Frodo dodged it, but Boromir was nearly twice his height, and much stronger, and he could not run if he fled. dropped unless...

"Borromir." Queen Lynshelt frowned and appeared with a serious face. "What are you talking to Frodo about?"

It is over... thought Frodo desperately, and now he is doomed.
