The more days he spends with Anila, the more Legolas likes her.

Anila is not only a qualified guide, but also a rare friend and travel companion.If it weren't for Anila, Legolas would never have been able to enjoy so many beautiful scenery. Moreover, even if he had the idea of ​​admiring the flowers and the scenery on the spur of the moment, the spring scenery of the Paliano Plain is really beautiful. If only he Running alone on the road, it only takes a few days to get tired of this seemingly cookie-cutter grassland.

But with Anila, this journey has become much more interesting. She is a person who is very good at chatting. She is always full of energy, full of vitality, and has a wide range of knowledge. She can speak fluent Elvish , has a wealth of medical knowledge.There has never been a situation where Anila couldn't keep up with the topics Legolas raised. Astronomy and geography, literature and history, local customs, legends and gossip, she seems to know all of them well, and she speaks clearly.

"Good morning, Legolas." Anila said good morning to him with a smile on her face as usual, and went to the stream to untie her braids and start washing.

"Good morning." Legolas smiled back at her.

In fact, if she hadn't needed her to take him to find Iluli and Godstrider, Legolas didn't want to get too involved with Anila, not because he hated Anila, he never really hated Anila La, what was wrong with Anila other than she got a little sloppy on the night of the celebratory dinner because she was drunk?Is she wrong for liking herself?She hoped that Tao Ruier could see clearly that her feelings were wrong?

But it was precisely because he knew Anila liked him that Legolas felt even more awkward.

If you don't plan to respond to the other party's wishes, it's better to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible. (Anila: ...)

But if he really wanted to say goodbye to Anila now, Legolas found himself a bit reluctant.

Compared with the elves, Anila is not the kind of unforgettable beauty.There are no second-eyed beauties among the elves, all of them are beautifully carved, and Anila's facial features are naturally incomparable to theirs.Day after day, she worked hard in the wilderness, which turned her originally white skin into a tan.

But Anila is not ugly, Legolas thought blankly as he looked at Anila's back as she washed by the stream, her golden-brown curly hair of warm color loose.

Although if Anila is willing, she can also show the cold and noble temperament of an elf, just like when Rivendell Bilbo first met her, after all, she has lived a long life, just count and say less It's been 500 years too, but that's not Anila's nature after all.When Anila is the cutest, she is still her most natural appearance. As a pure human being, although she is not as stunning as an elf, she is full of flesh and blood, and her frown and smile are extremely vivid.

Anila's cuteness takes time to discover little by little, not to mention that she is gentle and considerate, kind and generous, such a person, it is really difficult for people not to like her.

"Legolas? Legolas?" Anila shook her hand in front of Legolas, "What are you thinking? So obsessed?"

"Huh?...Oh, sorry!" Legolas woke up suddenly, only to realize that Anila had already cleaned up when he was in a daze.

"Hmm..." Anila looked at Legolas thoughtfully for a long time, and when Legolas looked uncomfortable, she smiled narrowly, "Homesick?"

"What? No?!" Legolas was taken aback for a moment, and then retorted emotionally.

Anila shrugged, and didn't dwell too much on that topic: "If all goes well, we will be able to leave the Misty Mountains today and arrive at the Kingdom of Arno."

"Hmm." Legolas was still a little brooding about Anila's ridicule to him just now, but he still couldn't hide his excitement, "Arno... the royal land?"

"It does mean that in Sindarin." Anila said, looking at the other side of the mountain with fixed eyes, "but how can Arnor be called a royal land now? Royal infighting, Plague, invasion of evil forces... The Númenóreans were either killed by orcs or migrated and lived in seclusion, and the population decreased again and again. Today's Arnor has no leader and is falling apart, and it has long lost its former glory."

Legolas rarely saw such a serious and even solemn expression on Anila's face, so he was stunned for a moment.

But Anila didn't think about it for a while, and found that the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy, so she hurriedly said haha, and this topic was temporarily exposed.

They reached Tehapua that night, and for the first time in a long time checked into a hotel instead of camping in the wilderness.

Tehapua is a small town in the south of Eliad. Although it is not as close to Bree, it is considered a place with relatively developed transportation. Anila and the others stayed in a very traditional hotel, and the upper floor was used as a guest room. The lower part serves as a tavern, with the dim yellow lights that all similar small shops have, beer mixed with water, and a mixed group of people.

Legolas didn't like the noisy environment down here, so he ate something and wanted to go upstairs, but Anila insisted on staying a little longer.

"This kind of tavern is always a good place to inquire about various news." Anila said, "I haven't had the latest news from the outside world for nearly three months. As a ranger, this is too incompetent. If you think it's noisy, go ahead go up."

Legolas was clearly reluctant, but he insisted on staying with Anila.

Although he doesn't have much experience in dealing with humans, elves are born with eyes to tell whether a person's nature is upright and whether he is lying.Legolas sensitively noticed some wretched-looking guys in the dark corners of this tavern, even out of upbringing, he was not at ease leaving Anila here as a woman.

With her refreshing personality, astonishing drinking capacity, and impressive bust, Anila smoothly blended into the hottest circle in the tavern.

If you want to say what is the biggest topic of conversation in China-Turkey recently, it is undoubtedly the Battle of the Five Armies. The most discussed in the battle, besides the mountain of gold, is undoubtedly Bard the Dragon Slayer.

Some people praised Bud as a hero among men, and some people complained that he was just a fisherman before. This time he was lucky enough to become famous, get money and become a king. Some people even got drunk and bragged that if he was there at that time , and could have killed Smaug with one arrow without much effort.

For this kind of big talk, Anila buried her head in drinking to hide her smile, but Legolas was much more direct, and sneered unabashedly.

His golden elf was conspicuous enough, and he had a dignified aura around him, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the cowhide king who had drunk too much and glared at him.

Legolas doesn't care how many times that person flirts with him. His violent temper has subsided a lot in front of Anila in the past few months, but in front of this kind of braggart who doesn't write drafts, he recovered. It turned out that the arrogant and mean look.

Anila stood up helplessly to smooth things over: "This kind of thing has never happened before, who can say for sure? Maybe luck is better, it's not impossible."

"Master, I don't rely on luck! I rely on strength! Strength!" the cowhide king was still clamoring.

"Strength? Hmph, you haven't even drawn your bow a few times, have you?" Legolas glanced at the man's hand, his strength dismantling the situation.

The cowhide king was so angry that he glared at Legolas fiercely, but he couldn't refute a word. The other party was an elf, and he was an authority in archery. If you say one, you can't have two.

"Okay." Anila patted Legolas' hand under the table, indicating that enough was enough.There is no need to pay taxes for bragging, why bother to make a fuss about it, "Brother, my friend is straight-tempered, don't mind, I'll toast you."

The boss of Legolas rolled his eyes unhappily, turned his head away and said nothing.

The cowhide king's people also coaxed him to persuade him: "Okay, Hans, all the beauties have spoken for you, and you are almost done."

"Beauty?" Hans stared at Anila with misty drunken eyes, and smiled for a while, "It's really..."

Legolas turned his head back and looked at Hans, the fierceness in Hans' eyes just now was nothing compared to his present moment.

Anila was calm and composed, obviously she had been molested a lot, and she brought the topic back without blinking. "However, when it comes to the Battle of the Five Armies, Bard is not the only hero. Thorin Oakenshield, Ironfoot Dann, and His Majesty Thranduil, the Elf King of Mirkwood, all contributed a lot to this war. force."

Others nodded in agreement, chattering enthusiastically. Some admired Thorin for killing the white orc blasphemer Azog, and some loudly praised how invincible Dan's Iron Foot Army was. Naturally, some Praise Thranduil for his timely act of kindness to the people of Long Lake Town.

Hearing everyone's praise for King Thranduil, Legolas pursed his lips on the surface as if disdainful, but he was still extremely proud in his heart.In the first place, whether it is a human or an elf, some things are the same.If you ask Legolas to evaluate Thranduil, he can count out a lot of various shortcomings of Thranduil, such as surly temper, ruthlessness, selfishness, stubbornness and willfulness, all of which seem to be justified. He seemed convinced, but if he let outsiders judge, he could only listen to praise and praise, that was his father and the king!

However, there are people and elves who can't get along here.

"Hmph." Hans the Cowhide King snorted coldly, and glanced at Legolas intentionally or unintentionally, "That elf king is not willing to help others, it is obviously for himself!"

The smile on Anila's face froze, she cursed secretly in her heart, and looked at Legolas, as expected, his face became gloomy again.

"Why?" Someone really didn't think it was a big deal, knowing that there was an elf here, and asked curiously.

Hans glanced at Legolas triumphantly: "My news is absolutely true. My brother-in-law's aunt's third cousin's nephew originally lived in Changhu Town. What the town said to the dragon slayer when he delivered things."

"What did he say?" Everyone stopped talking, and all looked at Hans intently.

"He said." Hans paused for a while, and then continued, "You don't need to thank me, I'm here to get back my own things."

"What?" the crowd asked.

"Then I don't know." Hans shook his head, "But the things in that mountain, what else can they be? They are nothing more than gold, silver and precious stones. For some treasures, they will not hesitate to launch wars, waste people's money, and hypocritically use them. Aiding refugees from Changhu Town is an excuse, tsk."

"What did you say?!" Legolas stood up abruptly, his face full of anger, and his hands were already on the bow and arrow behind him.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Anila quickly stood up and smoothed his hair.

"Of course you can calm down, Velodis, this bastard is not talking about your...brethren." Legolas' eyes were burning.

"Anger doesn't solve problems, okay?" Anila sighed. "If you trust me, sit down and I'll fix it."

"..."

There was a stalemate for two or three seconds.Then Legolas sat down again, but he kept looking at Hans sharply and fiercely.

"Okay." Anila also sat down and looked at Hans, "Well...Mr. Hans, I'm afraid I don't agree with what you said just now."

"Velodys, why are you being so polite with this kind of person?" Legolas said impatiently.

"The so-called courtesy first, the reason is always on our side." Anila whispered, and then looked at Hans with a smile again, "First, please answer my question, Mr. Hans. His Majesty Thranduil Did the people of Changhu Town send supplies and help in time when they were in the most difficult time and needed help?"

"That's just incidental, he doesn't really want to help humans at all!"

"I have no way of knowing this, but he was there when people in Changhu Town needed help, right?"

"He would rather start a war for gold, regardless of the life and death of his people!"

"So he did help humans, right?"

"……Um."

"Wow." Anila nodded and took a sip of her wine, "So as a human being, what is your brother-in-law's aunt's third cousin's nephew complaining about?"

Hans was speechless, while Legolas grinned.

"You accuse His Majesty Thranduil for two reasons." Anil stretched out two fingers, "First, you think he doesn't really want to help humans. But have you ever thought about it? It’s okay to not help humanity at all.”

"Then he shouldn't help, as if someone begged him." Hans muttered.

"Then your brother-in-law's aunt's third cousin's nephew may be starving to death now." Anila said, "If someone helps you, you should know how to be grateful, because in fact, others have no obligation to help you. Cough, the first Second, you think His Majesty Thranduil launched wars for money. As you said just now, His Majesty Thranduil's original words were "take back my own things", instead of complaining that His Majesty Thranduil launched wars for money. War, why don’t you ask why it is necessary for him to start a war? Those things belonged to him in the first place. Is there any problem if he wants to get them back? In fact, because of His Majesty Thranduil’s help, human beings It was only at the beginning that we had the capital to negotiate with the dwarves. Of course, now His Majesty Thranduil has taken back what belongs to him, and the humans in River Valley City have also obtained the wealth they deserve. Relations are good now."

Hans was completely stunned by Anila's talk, and he didn't recover for a long time, let alone refute.

Anila smiled softly: "If Mr. Hans has nothing to say, please apologize to my friend, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control his bow and arrow."

After a while of drinking, Hans became a little more clear-headed. Looking at Legolas' cold eyes and the tip of the arrow, he felt a little scared. Anila's plain reasoning and secret threats also gave him enough At the bottom of the steps, he also apologized lamely, and left with a gloomy expression on his face.

After going out like this, Anila didn't have the mood to stay below any longer, she drank up the wine in her glass and was ready to go back to her room to rest.

"Thank you for today, Velodis." Before parting, Legolas said to Anila, his face still full of excitement, "Although I still regret not being able to beat that guy up, but seeing him like that It's nice to look dingy."

"Fists can only make people give in with their mouths, and reason can make people agree with you in their hearts." Anila said gently, and suddenly changed her tone, "However, it has successfully prevented you from smashing this store, save I am glad to bet a large sum of money. Good night, Legolas."

"Moneyman," muttered Legolas, laughing again. "Good night."

Sixty years later, at the Forest Valley Conference, there was a dispute between the elves and the dwarves in order to argue about how to deal with the Lord of the Rings.

"I will never allow the One Ring to fall into the hands of the elves!" Gimli yelled at Legolas. "They are not to be trusted!"

The elves of Mirkwood were enraged immediately, and they stood up one after another.

Legolas subconsciously raised his hand to stop them.

"Anger can't solve the problem." He suddenly remembered what Anila had said to him a long time ago.

He looked at the Queen Lien Shelt, whom he was very familiar with in the past but now seemed to have become unfamiliar, while the other party was lowering her head in thought, her mind was completely away from him.
