Chapter 113 Guidance
"A-choo!"
Far away on the other side of the Misty Mountains, Gandalf wiped his nose and pulled his robes tighter around him.
Huddled on a piece of rotten wood, warming himself by the fire.
"The weather is getting warmer and spring is approaching, but the ring is still missing."
“Maybe it really isn’t here anymore.”
This place has lost its exploration value.
Gandalf stood up and looked towards the Mirkwood in the east, and then towards the end of the mountains in the south.
Dol Guldur was captured not long ago, and there has been nothing unusual so far.
So...want to go to Isengard?
Thinking of this, Gandalf couldn't help lighting up a cigarette, and his face twitched.
If possible, I really don't want to see that mean white robe, but the most intelligent books in the world are basically in the high tower of Isengard.
You have to go.
"well--"
With a long sigh, Gandalf finally chose to walk south, heading towards the dark wizard's tower.
While Gandalf changed his course.
Levi had an unexpected guest at Roadside Castle.
"Legolas?"
At the city gate, Levi shouted in surprise.
Legolas nodded and bowed to Levi, "Greetings to you, my friend. How have you been?"
"Recently? Pretty good."
"But I really didn't expect you to come."
“It was my father who guided me here.”
When he saw Levi, Legolas was also filled with emotion. The battle at Lonely Mountain created many legends, most of which were about Levi.
What about wall builders, orc nemesis, archenemy, walking army, iron golem summoner...
There are so many titles that I can hardly list them all.
"Thranduil..."
Levi's attitude towards this ally who gave him face was quite friendly.
"In that case, come in with me and take a look."
"But it's a coincidence that you came. We are going to hold a seven-day banquet to celebrate the establishment of Roadside Fort."
"Would you like to join us?"
"Party? Of course."
While walking towards the city with Levi, Legolas looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about something.
"This kind of memorable day is perfect for a banquet, like our Starlight Dinner."
“I would love to participate.”
"It's a pity that you didn't see it. There are always rumors that elves never make fire when eating, but I have to say: those are all rumors. At our banquets, you can see many things cooked over a big fire."
"I sincerely hope you can attend the next starlight dinner in the woods, Levi. I just have to ask for your forgiveness, but I may not be there at that time."
"I'll go if I get a chance."
Levi agreed, and Legolas stopped talking. He just walked and looked at the busy territory curiously.
When they got into the castle, it was time for dinner. Levi made some relatively light food and took out some fresh fruits and vegetables as a treat.
After taking a bite, Legolas was stunned.
“This is better than anything I’ve ever had.”
When this sentence is spoken by the elf, it seems to be particularly valuable.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Levi was a little curious whether elves could eat enough to become fat.
He has traveled to many places in this world and met many elves, but there is really not a single one whose figure has changed.
"call--"
After a hearty meal, Legolas sat at the table, just staring at it, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's wrong? Is there something that doesn't suit your taste?"
Levi opened a barrel of fine wine from Dorwinion, poured a full cup, and handed it to Legolas.
"No, I can't find anything I'm dissatisfied with."
Legolas shook his head, took the cup, looked at it, then leaned over to smell it, and found the fragrance quite pleasant.
Unlike his father Thranduil, the old drunkard, the young elven prince did not drink much. But thinking that it was Levi who handed it to him personally, and the wine smelled really good, Legolas paused for a moment and slowly tasted it.
It wasn't long before the glass of wine was finished.
Seeing Legolas looking unsatisfied, Levi smiled and filled his glass again.
Perhaps it was because he drank some wine, or maybe it was because he had calmed down, Legolas started to talk.
“I don’t know what to do.”
"Until now, I still don't know what love, family, and friendship are..."
"I tried to look for it. I went to Gundabad, Erebor, Lake Town, and Riverdale, but I couldn't find the answer."
At this time, Levi also poured himself a glass of wine and sat on the other side of the table. He raised his glass and gently clinked it with Legolas, saying:
"Although I don't have much experience, but if you ask me -"
"Love is neither a path under your feet nor something that stays somewhere fixed. It seems that as long as you walk far enough and go to enough places, you can find it."
“It should be felt from within you — from the inside out.”
"It's not that you suddenly know it one day, but it's like an opaque cup. When you look at it from the side, you can't tell whether there is wine in it. Only when it is filled and the wine bubbles out from the top, you will suddenly know: Oh, that's it."
“I think it should be a process of accumulation.”
"is that so?"
Legolas asked, drinking the wine in one gulp and falling into deep thought.
"Uh, should I?"
Levi was also a little embarrassed. He clasped the table with one hand and almost knocked it down.
After all, Legolas was guided by Thranduil. It would be a bit inappropriate if he did nothing.
No matter what, let’s feed him this pot of chicken soup first.
"I still don't quite understand."
"Then stay here for a while longer."
Levi pointed to the lively scene outside the window and said, "Live with the residents and try to integrate into the community."
"Don't worry, they are very nice and enthusiastic. They won't reject you."
"Listen, feel, think."
"Maybe this will help you."
"I see."
Legolas put down his glass and said, "Please assign me an errand and I will do my best to do it."
"Well... I don't know what you want to do, or what's appropriate. So, go find the community representative, Wade. Usually, newcomers in the territory are given to him for guidance."
Legolas has a rather impatient temper.
As soon as Levi finished saying this, he hurried out of the castle and asked around where the 'community representative' Levi mentioned was.
However, what surprised him was that the community representative was quite easy to find. When he arrived at the door, he even found Wade farming in his backyard.
So down to earth? "Hello."
Legolas stood at the door and greeted Vader politely.
"Hello, young... ah, no, elf?"
"Well, you're definitely older than me, what's the matter?"
"Levi asked me to come to you, hoping you could arrange something for me to do."
“I see…”
Wade put down the work in his hands and became serious.
Judging from the elf's address, he should have a special relationship with the lord, or at least his status must be high.
The Lord asked me to assign him some tasks...
Then arrange something easy? No, it seems that there is no difficult work in the territory, everything is easy.
After thinking for a while, Old Wade said:
"plz follow me."
The community representative decided to follow normal procedures.
After all, given the temperament of our lord, he always means what he says, and never beats around the bush or makes any hints.
In that case, just do your job well.
