When Anila finished talking with Thranduil and went out, she saw Legolas waiting for them pitifully.

"Ah, your relationship is really good. We've been chatting for a long time." Legolas complained, "Then let's go, Velodis."

"Now?" Anila asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Legolas frowned, "I thought you knew."

"I know, I will take you to find them too, but not now."

Legolas frowned even deeper: "Why?"

"First of all, my dear highness, you have to ask me to change my clothes."

It was only then that Legolas noticed Anila's miserable appearance, looked her up and down for a long time, and had to admit that Anila couldn't go out to meet people in her current state.

Fluffy hair, dusty face, and dried blood all over the clothes, not to mention tattered.

"Secondly," continued Anila, "what about the food we are traveling in such haste? What about the clothes? Do you have any money with you, Legolas?"

"……money?"

"That's right, money is money." Anila explained word by word, "Generally we use gold coins and silver coins as money, of course gems and diamonds are also—"

"Enough! Of course I know what money is!" Legolas shouted angrily, glaring fiercely at Thranduil, who was standing aside with his head buried and his shoulders trembling, holding back a smile and enduring it hard.

"Oh." Anila nodded, "Then do you have money?"

"...No." The little prince of the dense forest would never need to use money to buy things himself.

The two of them stared wide-eyed for two seconds, looking at Thranduil at the same time.

"Don't even try to get a dime from me, son." Thranduil said seriously, "I allow you to go out to let you take risks and experience the life outside, not to let you take gold and silver lavishly." Diamonds are thrown around. Of course, if you earned the money yourself, you can spend it as you like."

What a high-sounding reason!Legolas was almost mad at his father.

"Ahem, Legolas is not the kind of extravagant and wasteful person, Your Majesty." Anila said, shaking her head helplessly, "Okay, I will visit the Lonely Mountain later, maybe Sorin will be willing to borrow I have a bag of gold coins..."

"Borrow?" Legolas asked incredulously, "You saved his life and his two nephews! He would not be an exaggeration if he gave you a mountain of gold."

"Well, yes." Anila blinked blankly, "Then don't worry about paying it back. Let's talk about 60 years of debt. He probably won't ask me for interest."

So still borrow?It's just pointlessly noble.Thranduil felt sorry in his heart.

Legolas is impatient, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Anila's procrastination, but Anila didn't seem to change her mind at all. After taking a bath, changing clothes, and combing her hair meticulously, she went to visit King of the Mountain is now, but Legolas is unwilling to enter the place of the dwarves.

"Then you want to wait outside overnight?"

"One night?" Legolas was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became angry, "Are you going to waste one night here?"

"There is a celebration banquet tonight." Anila replied naturally, "Sharing the joy of victory with friends, mourning the sacrifice of heroes, boosting morale, and looking forward to the future, how can this be considered a waste of time? Besides, why? So how about leaving in a hurry? Are you in a hurry to find Godstrider and Iluli?"

Legolas was momentarily at a loss for words.In fact, he didn't know what he was going to do after he found the pair of siblings, but now he was like a headless chicken with no direction. As Thranduil said, finding the siblings seemed to be his only goal now .

"Although I know the general location of those two people, but, Ranger, how can you stay in one place for a long time? Some things have to be determined by fate." Did Iluli appear in the Lonely Mountain?"

Legolas sneered softly, half mockingly, half helplessly. "Okay, as long as you are right, you can do whatever you say."

"Then you want to come with me to the dwarves' celebration banquet?"

Legolas gave her a white look: "How is it possible? I will rest in River Valley City tonight and come to you at dawn tomorrow morning."

It's not that he hates dwarves so much, although he still doesn't like dwarves very much, but after collaborating with Thorin Oakenshield and Kili Fili to kill Borg and Azog, he has somewhat revolutionary friendship, just... …

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. In the camps of Erubor, River Valley City, and the jungle elves who have not yet left, fires and candles are lit all night.

The atmosphere at first is sad, exhausting and heart-wrenching, with elves and dwarves chanting for a long time, and humans being especially quiet, but if you listen carefully, you might hear the muffled cries of women and The voice of the silent man's broken heart.

Legolas leaned in a corner alone, annoyed by the oppressive atmosphere around him, he couldn't help secretly regretting that he had listened to Anila's words and stayed.

Legolas has also experienced many battles, big and small, and has seen his own race fall before his own eyes, but for the elves, there is no real death. Perhaps they will be "killed" by swords, fire, or even excessive grief. death", but their souls will still return to the Temple of Mandos, where they will one day be reunited with their loved ones and friends.

The sadness of elves for death should be more of a kind of sympathy for the pain they have suffered and the sadness of temporary parting, but what about human beings, what is death for them?How intense was the pain it brought him?

However, in the silent tribute to the dead and remembrance of the past, humans, dwarves and elves began to celebrate the death of the dragon and the victory of the war. When cheers, clinking glasses and cheerful music sounded, Legolas suddenly felt that he would rather Spend the night in the quiet and sad surroundings just now.

He looked out of place amidst the boisterous celebrations.

"Cheers!" "To the King of the Mountain!" "Cheers!"

The carnival in Iruber is also going on enthusiastically, the bonfire is crackling, and the gold coins and precious stones in the room are shining brightly, but now no one cares about those treasures, but the fragrant smell on the fire Squeaky grilled meat is more noticeable.

Anila, Bilbo, Gandalf, Tauriel, Dann, and the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain were sitting around a large table, all raising a large glass of wine, clinking glasses suddenly, and then everyone except Bilbo and All but Tauriel fucked, and the dwarves--except Thorin--beeped loudly, as at Bilbo's, and Anila and Gandalf laughed, and Tauriel Er watched this scene in amazement.

After drinking, everyone became more excited and began to sing loudly the ballad of the dwarves recovering their homeland. After singing for a while, they were still not satisfied, so they wanted to drag Anila to sing along.

"Oh, I'll forget it." Anila declined with a wry smile, and the dwarves hissed loudly. They didn't let Anila go until Gandalf proved that Anila's singing was really a mess. But she was asked to punish herself with three cups.

Bilbo was almost frightened. The drinking glasses used by the dwarves were not delicate and exquisite goblets. No matter what, La is a woman——

"Accept the punishment and accept the punishment!" However, Anila agreed very readily, and drank the three glasses of wine almost without stopping.

The dwarves looked at her in amazement, and suddenly became aggressive, and they all came forward to toast. Anila was not polite, and all comers were accepted with a smile.

An hour later, the wine fight came to an end with the fattest Pangbo falling down, Anila licked her lips, her face was not even red.

Bilbo, Tauriel, and the few dwarves who were still awake were dumbfounded.

Gandalf shook his head helplessly: "Your drinking capacity has increased again, Velodis."

Anila smiled and waved her hands, picking up the coat that was put aside. "Okay, then you go on, I'll go first."

"Where are you going?" Tauriel asked.

"River Valley City."

Legolas stood aside with a straight face and folded his arms, watching the lively scene of River Valley City with cold eyes.

In fact, Legolas may not necessarily want to sit here alone and watch those people cheer and celebrate.The more enthusiastic and happy the atmosphere around him was, the more lonely he felt. However, he was not used to joining the enthusiastic crowd, so he could only watch over there with a cold look. All the girls who wanted to invite him to dance backed down, such a vicious circle...

It was Bud who first discovered Legolas who was alone on the side. Although he also wondered why His Royal Highness the Prince of the Jungle would request to spend the night in River Valley City, but he was very grateful to the elves and of course he agreed without hesitation. According to Legolas' request, it seemed inappropriate to leave the guest alone now, so he walked towards Legolas.

After a polite official talk, Bard, who was far less skilled than Anila, ran out of words to Legolas' unchanging cold face. He glanced at the carnival crowd and said nothing. Hopeful asked: "Does Your Highness want to come together?"

"No—" Sure enough, Legolas refused without hesitation.

"Come on." When Bud was about to give up, Anila suddenly appeared out of nowhere, took Legolas' hand and walked towards the crowd.

She didn't hold Legolas very hard, and Legolas easily freed his hand. "What are you doing here?"

"Those dwarves were all drunk by me. It's boring. They came here when they saw the excitement here." Anila said, "Don't be so indifferent. It's okay to dance with me."

"Why should I dance with you?"

"Because I came late, I can't find a dance partner now." Anila said confidently.

Legolas glanced at Bard to one side.

"Mr. Budd is going to dance with his daughter," Anila said, looking at Budd. "Isn't it, Mr. Budd?"

Those eyes seemed innocent, but there was actually something in them. Bud felt his back go cold, and nodded quickly: "Well, the war has just ended, and I really want to spend more time with my family."

Legolas stared at him speechlessly for a while, then looked back at Anila who was smiling and stretching out her hand to him.

"And shall I have the honor of dancing with you, my lord?"

Originally, at such a hilarious moment, who would pick up the dance steps rigorously? Even you don’t need to care about the rhythm, just twist your body at will, laugh and shout heartily, and enjoy this moment heartily.

However, Legolas is usually used to being serious and rigorous. If you let him relax and dance casually, he really doesn’t know how to dance. As for Anila, she dances better than Legolas expected. She is quiet and elegant. Not rigid, hot but not slutty when enthusiastic, with a slender waist and wavy eyebrows.Anila, who is serious about dancing, is not like a fast-moving knight-errant, but a well-educated noble lady.

The wonderful and tacit cooperation between the two pushed the joyous atmosphere to the climax. People clapped their hands and whistled loudly, and unanimously moved Anila and Legolas to the middle.

After the song was over, the crowd burst into applause, feeling that Legolas was not as unapproachable as he seemed on the surface, so some brave people made a fuss and asked the elf to sing.

"Come one!" "Come one!"

The applause was louder after another, and the cheers came one after another, but Legolas pursed his lips tightly, without the slightest intention to speak.

The applause gradually weakened, and the crowd fell silent, looking at each other uneasily.

It's cold...

As an elf, Legolas's singing level is still not to mention, and he is not disgusted with these humans' behavior of cooing and singing, whether it is among humans, dwarves, or elves, this kind of thing always happens.It's just that since the death of the Queen of the Jungle, Legolas' character has become increasingly cold and sharp, and he really hasn't sung in front of people much.

Anila stepped aside just now, but now she walked over worriedly and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Don't force yourself to sing if you don't want to."

"No..." Legolas was not stupid, so he could see Anila's hard work, and he was grateful for it, and he really didn't want to let him down easily.Originally, on such a day when everyone was happy, singing a song would do a lot, but it was difficult for him to open his mouth.

Anila pondered for a while, then tentatively asked: "Shall I sing with you?"

"I don't know human songs."

"It's okay, I can speak Elvish." Anila patted her chest, full of confidence.

So, after Anila volunteered to sing with Legolas, the atmosphere finally became lively again.

Humans are not familiar with the songs of elves, so the two of them can only sing a cappella. Anila and Legolas looked at each other and began to sing at the same time——

Then Anila ran away at the first note, and even took Legolas away.

"...I'll sing it myself," Legolas suggested desperately after three unsuccessful attempts to get the tune back.

Anila rubbed her nose embarrassingly, and exited amidst people's good-natured laughter.

Legolas cleared his throat, it was much easier to speak now after what he said earlier.

Legolas sang a nursery rhyme well known among the elves, often sung by mothers to their children as a lullaby.

Although it is a very simple song, Legolas sang it very seriously with lowered eyelashes. I wonder if it is because the tune of this song is very soothing and soft, it seems that even his usual indifferent voice has become Be gentle.

Anila stared blankly at Legolas who was singing like that, and felt that he was like a little angel now, whether it was his heavenly singing voice or his peaceful and gentle expression, it made her feel spontaneously A touch.

At first, Legolas sang alone, but later more and more people sang with him. Some clever children memorized the repeated part after listening to it a few times, and sang along with the elf childishly. The ethereal singing and piano sound from the camp also gradually came over, echoing Legolas' singing. Legolas wanted to sing twice and then stopped, but now he continued singing unknowingly.

Slowly, the singing of the elves seemed to be getting closer, and the humans also showed expressions of surprise and then joy, and stood up one after another. Legolas turned around suspiciously.

Many elves held candles in glass covers and walked into the crowd while singing softly. At the end of the line was his father Thranduil. He was wearing a crown and seemed as tall and majestic as ever. Looking at him quietly from a distance, Legolas suddenly felt that he had never been so close to him.

They sang the song three times, until the last note fell, and Legolas looked at Anila.

She sat in the crowd, smiling and applauding for him, her eyes were shining, as if there were stars sprinkled in them.

It was past midnight at this time, but because of the participation of the elves, the celebration in River Valley City not only did not mean to end, but became more enthusiastic.

"Come, come, these five cups are my respect!"

"Hmph, don't bully your youth, if you drink these five cups in one go, I'll drink ten cups."

"No! I, Velodys, never ask anyone to let me drink. If you drink ten glasses, I will have ten."

Anila and Thranduil were fighting over wine there, and the two of them were so jealous, Bud was on the side trying to dissuade them like an old lady.Let alone wine, there is no such way to drink water!

In the end, Legolas couldn't stand it any longer. If Anila got drunk and couldn't get up tomorrow morning, who would take him to find Strider and Iluli?

"Velodyus," he called out.Anila heard the reputation and looked at him, she seemed to be very sane.

"what happened?"

"Hmm..." Thranduil's eyes made Legolas a little uncomfortable, but for the sake of the Numenor siblings, he still asked, "Would you like to dance?"

"Huh?" Ani showed a surprised look, looked back and forth between Legolas and Thranduil, and happily agreed, "Okay."

Jumping, spinning, kicking, lowering, flying, and laughing, Legolas can't count how many dances he has danced with Anila. Nila couldn't help but feel happy in her heart with her bright smile.

The last song is finally over. Anila and Legolas kept the last action frozen there, panting slightly, staring at each other deeply, his hand was still on her waist, her hand Still resting on his shoulders, each can feel the other's heartbeat so close to their own.

Gandalf's fireworks bloomed in the sky and split into countless small light spots, which were more dazzling than the stars in the sky for a moment.

Anila stared blankly at Legolas. Since she came to the real world of Middle-earth, this was the first time she saw him so happy, with smiles on his brows and eyes. Now Legolas in front of her It seemed as if he had finally reunited with the Legolas she had known before, the gentle and caring Legolas who loved her as much as she loved him.

In a trance, completely subconsciously, Anila wrapped her arms around Legolas's neck, pulled him towards her, and tiptoed to kiss him.

Another firework exploded, then withered and extinguished instantly.

Anila's kiss landed on Legolas' palm.

"..." There was a moment of silence, Legolas gently pushed Anila away, and became expressionless again.

"Sorry, I'm probably drunk." Anila smiled embarrassedly, "The banquet is over, and I have to hurry tomorrow. I'm going to bed first, and you should go to rest too."

Legolas nodded wordlessly, and the two looked at each other for a few more seconds before turning and leaving.
