Chapter 120
Chapter 120
The noise outside the tent was blocked by Lucius' spell, and Thranduil's voice was so clear that it was impossible to mishear.
Lucius met the Elf King's gaze.
He was still lying there, not moving.However, his eyes were clear, and it was obvious that what he said just now was not rambling in a state of confusion.There is no judgmental emotion in the simple declarative sentence, but there is no doubt that what he said is already his final and clear conclusion.
Lucius didn't bother to guess Thranduil's possible attitude to this, because the Elf King's position was self-evident.The disclosure of the so-called "secret" is just a symbolic node that ushered in his parting ways with the Elf King.
Although he has never been lucky about being able to completely conceal the Elf King.But what surprised him even more was the long-standing speculation Thranduil revealed in his words.And based on the various situations that have happened in the past, the exposure of the truth did not happen when he fought for his own interests and used it on other humans, but when he rarely defended the interests of a non-Malfoy.It has to be said that this is a rather ironic result for Lucius.
In fact, that's how he reacted.The mood quickly returned to calm after a brief fluctuation, and he didn't feel much regret.Smiling mockingly, Lucius supported himself and continued to stand up, quickly opening the distance between himself and Thranduy: "When my own safety is not guaranteed, I am the first to The focus is on which faction my abilities belong to. Should it be said that this is indeed the due diligence perspective that only the Elf Kings have?"
Lucius' cold reaction made Thranduy deepen the displeasure on his face, but he didn't directly respond to Lucius' sarcasm.
"But since you're awake, why didn't you say it earlier? That way I can spend less effort."
Thranduy stared fixedly at Lucius, while the latter just stood with folded arms, looking back at him indifferently.
"Although I woke up, I still haven't regained the strength to act."
"At least from your tone, I can't see the feeling that you can't move." Lucius twitched his lips, not completely trusting what he saw.If his spell worked, Thranduil should be in a comatose state.But the latter's level of clarity of thinking exceeds even that of most perfect people.
"Although I'm awake, I can't make any movements, and I can't feel too much pain. Are you paralyzing my senses?"
"The healing spell didn't have any relief effect. So until I figure out your situation, I have no other way to deal with it." Lucius spread his hands.
"Indeed... However, this is also the first time that I can clearly feel my state when I lose my power." Thranduy lowered his eyes, and his tone didn't seem to be talking about himself, "It's really bad."
After the evaluation, Thranduy closed his eyes and looked in Lucius' direction again.The calm attitude is like what he said is bad, not referring to his current situation.
"You don't look like what you said at all. However, the Elf King should be extraordinary. But it's a good thing, since you are always awake, then I don't need to tell you It’s a waste of effort to explain the current situation. I don’t know much about your situation here, is this attack not within your expectations? What happened?” Lucius was noncommittal about Thranduil’s attitude, and cut directly to the most pressing topics of the moment.
"There was no warning. After dinner, the injury I suppressed suddenly started to move, and then it broke out suddenly, and there was not a long interval."
Lucius left the camp after dinner, and not long after that, chaos erupted in the camp followed by an encounter with orcs.It would make sense to explain the orcs as the source of Thranduil's injuries.But can half-orcs really have that much influence?
"Is there any corresponding medicine or relief for your injuries in the past?" Lucius asked with a frown.
Thranduy replied calmly, "No."
This answer caused the silence in the tent to last for a while: "How often do your injuries erupt? How long will each last? Will it always be in this state?"
"At the beginning, there was an interval of more than 500 years, and then slowly extended to more than 600 years. The duration of each time was shortened from five days to four days."
"The interval is lengthened and the duration is shortened. Hehe, in the eyes of bystanders, this is indeed a sign of gradual recovery. Then when the interval of 1000 years is reached, is it possible to shorten it to only an instant to solve it? Lucius sneered, recalling Thranduil's consistent concealment of his injuries, "When was the last attack?"
"More than 200 years ago."
"It's almost 300 years ahead of time, so you can't escape the possibility of external force, right? Did you feel the fluctuation of the dark force before that?" Lucius asked immediately.
"This world has always been shrouded in the influence of shadows, the difference is only big or small." Thranduil said slowly, "Except for the obvious induction from your body just now, there is no sign of other times. "
"It seems that you should have a rough guess..." Lucius twitched the corners of his mouth at the latter statement with obvious exaggeration, and did not answer, "Obviously, you are not suitable for doing more in Ithilien." Stayed. But we can't leave until you regain your ability to move. I'll find another place to camp and move you there after these humans leave."
"I can feel that your strength has not weakened, but is growing day by day. However, this does not necessarily mean that you are strong or suitable." Thranduil spoke again, not allowing Lucius to skip this question like before. topic.
Lucius looked at Thranduil's eyes and responded coldly: "It doesn't make any sense to use your own inherent values to make demands on me."
"It's not a request." Thranduy frowned again.
"If you want to say that this is a suggestion, it can only show your extreme lack of lobbying skills. And if you still insist on this, I can only say," Turning around, waving the candles in the tent, Lucius stumbled Walking towards the direction of the curtain: "That's my own business, it's enough for you to worry about yourself."
******
Lucius walked out of the tent, closed the curtain, and stretched out his hands to rub his temples.
Seeing that Lucius came out after staying in the tent for a short time, the two elf guards couldn't help being a little surprised: "Why did you come out again? How is Your Majesty?"
"Should you be tired?" Annis followed Hardyen and looked at Lucius with concern.
"He's awake, but the situation is not good." Lucius smiled and waved to Annis, "After these humans leave, we will move to the northeast and find a place to camp near the stream. "
"Are we considering leaving Ithilien as soon as possible? After all, with only the strength of the three of us, if we encounter today's wave of half-orcs again, the situation will become very difficult." Harden looked at the human ranger worriedly. direction.
The ranger's team moved quickly, and it could be seen that they were already very familiar with the steps of cleaning the battlefield.The valuable things were picked out and put on the horses that could still walk, and the rest of the mess were classified into several piles.Most of the goods brought by the caravan were happily accepted by them, leaving only the blood-stained parts ready to be burned.
Lucius noticed that there were some bloody objects piled up in front of their tent, and couldn't help frowning: "What are these?"
"Just now, Annis followed us to claim our luggage," Hardion said.
"Because they took over the logistics work, most of the things were mixed with the caravan people, and they were messed up in the battle just now." Annis also showed disgust, but in view of Lucius' previous request, So I had to dig all these things out of the pile of corpses.After all, if there were no other supplies, the four of them would have to make do with what they had left if they wanted to spend a few nights in this deserted forest.
"Burn it all." Lucius curled his lips in disgust, and immediately turned his eyes away, not planning to take another look.
"But, without these, what are we going to do these days?" Ha Dien asked anxiously, "If we burn it, we will only have..." He glanced worriedly at the only standing body around them. Landuil's tent.But there was not much of their luggage left in it, and when the battle spread just now, there were some ugly marks on it.
"Of course I have a solution..." Lucius' eyes wandered around the tent, and he replied softly, but did not expand on this topic.He directly talked about the next arrangement, "After His Majesty recovers, I will send you to Gondor as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Annis, who had been shutting up and listening, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lucius in astonishment.
But Hardyen didn't hear what Lucius meant, and simply nodded, approving Lucius' decision.
"Is there any way to contact Galian? Let him send more guards to Gondor to meet His Majesty Thranduil, so as not to cause any accidents on the way." Lucius directly ignored Annis' questioning question eyes, asked again.
"That's not true. We rarely place long-term elves on human territory. If we want to send a message, we usually ask the elves who have traveled around for help. If you think it is necessary, you can also let Annis go back to deliver the letter now. "
"Ah? I still don't..." Annis was a little anxious when he was called on suddenly under such circumstances.
"Forget it, it's not safe for him to go back by himself. It won't be too late to try to notify the kingdom when you return to Gondor. There should be no similar emergencies in the human territory."
The half-orc corpses and weapons that could not be used by humans were dragged into a shallow pit dug temporarily and doused with combustion-supporting liquid.Because Lucius said that he was not familiar with humans, the Ranger didn't come to ask them to help identify the identities of the human victims. He just distinguished them from the half-orcs and cremated them separately.
The former caravan leader Neil did not receive any special treatment at this time, and was dragged to his companion by the two rangers without discrimination.Everything that happened in the past was completely burned by the flames together with those eyes that were still open but were already empty and soulless.
Lucius looked at those eyes, and suddenly remembered the information he had received before, so he lowered his voice and asked Annis who was standing on his right: "Do you know... what the Lord of the Rings is?"
The author has something to say: I revised it slightly at 11:[-] noon, those who read it in advance may need to read it again~
