Chapter 128
Because of the Elf King's words, the smirk on the wizard's face suddenly disappeared.He suppressed those unspeakable emotions, and stared deeply at Thranduil.
Thranduil who said these words seemed to be gentle, and even the curve of the corners of his eyebrows seemed not to be as sharp as usual.It's as if something has changed from before.
But after releasing the heavy pressure on his chest, what Lucius got was not relaxation, but a huge emptiness.
He asked many times, and seemed to see that Thranduil was gradually wavering.
He knew that Thranduil attached an extraordinary importance to him, so no matter how many times he thought about giving up rationally, he still couldn't really let go of this importance and become an extraordinary possible reason.
Every time he gazed, the outline of the Elf King gradually blurred and became soft, as if being sucked by him a little bit, and was about to reveal the truth wrapped in the distant memory.
However, that may not be the case.
Maybe the figure behind the curtain he wanted to attract had never seen him.
"Then, should I thank His Majesty the Elf King for his generosity?" Muttering softly, Lucius raised his face and approached Thranduil, his eyes intertwined with deep and shallow but almost imperceptible changes, like a The vortex sucked every bit of Thranduil's thoughts, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
In the vortex, there were many emotions that the Elf King couldn't sort out, which made him addicted, but he was at a loss as to what to do.A trace of torture caught in the ups and downs flickered, gradually evoking that calm worry from the bottom of Thranduil's heart.
He values him so he worries about him.
He is indeed a very important existence, so important that even if he is contaminated with a dark atmosphere, he can still be tolerated by him.
The Elf King thought he had found the answer Lucius wanted, but at the same moment he was shocked.He seemed to see the starry sky that lost all its brilliance in an instant, and dimmed into a boundless darkness.For a fleeting moment, Thranduil felt as if he had missed something, and suddenly panicked.
However, Lucius has once again looked away without hesitation.
After a few sneers of unknown meaning, he said coldly: "Let go."
Thranduil frowned deeply, for Lucius's attitude changes beyond his control.His intuition told him that he didn't want to cut off the subtle warmth of the skin between his fingers and palms at this moment.But as soon as this idea popped into his mind, Thranduy was stunned, and his persistence relaxed at this moment.
The delicate and warm feeling is gently brushed by the fingertips, just like the temperature around you is unconsciously lost in the gap of time in a trance.Thranduy didn't quite understand this feeling of loss, but following the subconscious feeling, he raised his hand, perhaps to hold back something, and wanted to touch the corner of the lips that had lost all the smile.
However, before the cool feeling at the fingertips really stopped, Lucius turned his head away.
The wizard turned around without hesitation and brought along the loose wizard robe. The black corners of the robe had not yet drawn a complete angle, and had gradually melted into the darkness with the distant figure.
"Let's go now if you want to go."

On the last section of the official road from Ithilien to Osgiliath, four horses moved forward at a steady pace.
Hardyen kept looking at the backs of the two parallel and awkwardly keeping a distance in front of him, feeling indescribably distressed.
The four horses were bought with a human being who happened to meet one day ago.There are still many Isilians who are unwilling to leave their homeland. In addition to planting crops and raising livestock, they will also trade medicinal materials with merchants from Gondor.
However, there have been a lot fewer merchants in Gondor recently, and the business in that small village was temporarily sluggish.The visit of the elves made these humans very happy, especially, Lucius bought almost all the medicinal materials accumulated in the hands of humans.
Lucius talked and laughed with the humans who collected medicinal materials, and inquired a lot about medicinal herbs, this forest, this mountain range, and this continent, and even left some simple methods of making potions.He is also the elf messenger who is kind and gentle in the hearts of mankind.
But Lucius never said a word to Thranduil.
since that night.
That night, Hadion and Annis were also shocked by the dark methods Lucius showed.
Even the light-loving elves cannot accept the terror and destruction brought about by the invasion of darkness.
Only this time, the dark power is from Lucius.
Rather than saying that they were blinded by fear, it would be better to say that they were actually confused by a possibility that they had never thought of.
That was Lucius, an elf like them, an elf who could smile warmly at elves, humans and even dwarves, an existence who had been guarding the elf king with them all along.
Seeing the seemingly completely severed relationship between Lucius and Thranduil, Annis, who was also a bystander, was only troubled by the seemingly incomprehensible contradiction between Lucius and Thranduil.But Ha Dien knew that things were not what the elf commander thought.
Hadien had heard that sentence from Lucius.
At the beginning, Hardion was simply surprised.
Lucius fell in love with the Elf King, why?
He recalled the details of the two elves he had seen getting along, but he didn't seem to find any trace of this relationship.
Moreover, the male elf develops a loving emotion towards the male elf.Has there been such an example?
Could it be that it was purely an angry remark by Lucius to fight against the elf king's interference in his right to choose his feelings?
But Hardion hadn't found the answer to the question in his mind, so he followed the elf king who made his own decision and left the kingdom and chased out of the dark forest.
He didn't even realize what the Elf King was doing until he boarded a human merchant ship.
The Elf King didn't chase after Lucius after learning that he had left Long Lake Town.He returned to the woodland kingdom with all the elves.Then it was suddenly decided when I was walking in the dark forest the next day.
The Elven King didn't even walk out of the woodland kingdom he had been guarding for Legolas' departure.
But for Lucius, the Elven King walked out of this corner of Mirkwood for the first time in more than 2000 years.
Hardyen pondered the meaning behind this move, and his mood was actually very complicated.
He has his own wife and son, so he naturally knows what love is.
He also knew the story between the elf king and queen.
But is this really possible?
Standing next to the Elf King and seeing Lucius again, Hadion was subtly worried, but he also knew that he had no right or qualification to interfere.
However, the spirit king's intentions did not seem to be as he understood.
Thranduil seems to have never really had a relationship with love, as always.
However, Harden finally confirmed that what Lucius said was not angry.
Hardion subconsciously didn't want to see the awkward separation between the Elf King and Lucius.It was under the reminder of Lucius that he realized the wishes hidden in his heart.
He couldn't understand himself, but he did find himself somewhat wishing to see Lucius with the Elven King more often.
So he began to pay more attention to Lucius while protecting the Elf King.Pay attention to this 50-year-old elf from another world.
From the Woodland Kingdom to the battlefield of Dale City, from Mirkwood to Long Lake Town, from Rohan Sarn Gable to Ithilien Mordor, Lucius actually does not need the protection of the Elf King.
He is very powerful, so powerful that he can make the Elf King who has guarded the kingdom alone for thousands of years no longer lonely.
Lucius' affection for the Elf King can be seen from every time he turns around when he intends to leave but lowers his face.
The Elf King's intentions can also be seen from every subconscious move he made to chase and restrain Lucius.
Hardion knew that Lucius was longing for a response from the Elf King.It's just that the pride of the strong doesn't allow him to ask for a response a second time.
But not waiting is free.
After two more confrontations with the orc chasing soldiers, the gate of Gondor was within sight.But at this time, Hardion didn't want to rush to Osgilias as soon as he first learned that there were pursuers.
He had a premonition that this time, when they arrived in Gondor safely, Lucius would really leave.
Looking up at the two figures in front of him again, Hadien found that His Majesty the Elven King was staring at Lucius again.
This made him anxious too.
What was the Elf King thinking?

Osgiliath straddles the Anduin River and is a majestic fortress built to defend Mordor.But because the shadow on the other side of the river has remained silent for nearly a thousand years, this fortress has become more and more a pass that merchants must pass through to cross the river.
However, the sudden outbreak of plague in the last year made the whole of Gondor panic.For a while, the border gates tightened the passage conditions, and many businessmen had to go back home before entering the city.Over time, the endless stream of fortress gates became deserted.The guarding soldiers were also a little sleepy and unable to cheer up.
In the distance, a few moving black and gray dots gradually emerged from the dark green background at the end of the horizon.It wasn't until they got closer that the soldiers with good eyesight recognized them.
It was four horses, and the rider on the horse.
The listless gatekeeper captain couldn't believe it when he heard the notice, he was stunned for a while before he realized it, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to guard the city gate.
"They saw us..." Annis, who was looking far away, was happy at first, then maintained an awkward pause, then turned back to cast, looked at Lucius a little embarrassingly and said, "But it seems that we are not very welcome. .”
