Chapter 157 Young Aragorn
“This wine is really good.”
Inside the castle, Agra tasted a glass of wine poured by Levi himself, and his hand holding the glass trembled slightly.
Farodan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, frowning, and motionless.
"Stop being in a daze and come and eat something?"
Levi called out.
"Okay, okay, I will. I'll eat it later."
Levi felt helpless.
No, I'm already an adult, why do I need someone to call me when I eat?
"If you don't come soon, you'll only be able to eat jerky."
As if he had caught some key words, Falodan immediately responded: "It likes to eat jerky very much. When I fed it, it even let me touch it twice."
"It also eats vegetables, cabbage, potatoes, radishes, corn, and even weeds."
Agra continued, "And it seems to be very interested in the Lambas I brought, which means it is at least not evil."
Just like other creations of the elves, Lambas has a restraining effect on evil creatures. Even if they starve to death, those evil creatures will never be willing to eat a bite.
"That's normal. Dragons are omnivores. I'm still wondering if I should feed it some minerals when it grows a bit bigger."
Levi brought up a plate of vegetarian dishes and replied.
Agra gently put down the wine glass and took the plate of light vegetarian dishes.
"That's not what I'm saying. I just think... it's simply against the nature of a dragon."
Unbelievable.
A dragon is neither evil, bloodthirsty, nor greedy for money.
It's so weird.
"Can I bring back the news from here?" he asked Levi.
"Okay, it's not a secret."
After getting permission, Agra raised his glass and saluted Levi slightly.
Farodan quietly lit up his treasured Old Toby tobacco at the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Still smoking, why don't you come and have dinner."
Levi's grip on the spatula tightened a little.
This grip was like grasping his heart. Farodan vigilantly put away his pipe, returned to the table and started to eat well.
It was rare for two friends I had known for a long time to come over as guests, so Levi was unreserved during the meal and demonstrated all kinds of cooking methods.
Although there have been no hints on the synthesis table, judging from the content, whether it is the extra food synthesis or the frying pan, chopping board and kitchen knife, there is a shadow of a certain Panmas farm.
Eat, give it all to me!
Although the meal was rich and delicious, the wine was also quite strong.
But obviously both Farodan and Agra were very restrained. They didn't drink too much or eat too much. They just tasted a little and stopped at the table.
Levi drank the juice silently and recalled.
It’s still fun to have dinner with the dwarves.
As long as there is a dwarf at the table, the meal will never be dull or quiet.
Unless that dwarf is Thorin, or unless the other seats are occupied by elves.
Several days passed like this.
Farodan is a person who can't sit still. These days he goes directly to school to teach outdoor activities classes to the children. Sometimes he also talks about history, poetry, mythology, etc.
Agra experienced various jobs, fishing, walking and farming every day like a resident.
This kind of days continued until Levi had dealt with all the affairs, big and small, in the territory, including instructing the community representative Wade and the principal Taber about the vagrants, the subsequent resource production, and some precautions for friendly camps and people with malicious intent.
Not only Roadside Castle, but also River Valley City was visited during his time, and he brought updates on education policies over there.
Bud will take care of everything.
Everything is becoming more prosperous, like a blessed land.
On this day, Levi walked out of the gate of hell and the three of them gathered again.
"It's time to set off."
"What?"
Agra is not very clear about the situation.
"We have an adventure far away..."
"How far?"
"Far east of Mordor."
"It's a shame I can't go with you."
The elf shook his head slowly.
The east of Mordor is not suitable for the elves to travel to due to many factors. Apart from other things, the appearance alone is a big problem. As soon as those Easterlings see the elves coming, they will probably shoot arrows and spears at them immediately.
Although we couldn't go to Loen together, we could still go to Rivendell together.
After packing the supplies in their backpacks, the three of them headed towards the valley.
Three people, riding two horses.
The advantage of doing this is that Levi doesn't have to go back again to deliver the horse.
The downside is that it's a little crowded.
It would be just right to change it to dwarves or hobbits.
"Welcome, Levi. Lord Elrond is waiting in the hall."
At the entrance of the valley, as usual, Deputy Lindir came out to greet Levi.
The fact that Levi could come here means that Agra completed his mission very well.
"You are always welcome to visit my home."
He nodded to Lindir, left this message and went back.
"Then I..."
Considering that it was a meeting between lords and might involve some secrets, Farodan also planned to avoid it for the time being.
“That’s not necessary.”
Levi interrupted, "It's nothing serious, I just left something here, let's get it and then we'll continue on our way."
"All right."
Although he said so, things still turned out somewhat beyond Levi's expectations.
Because in the reception hall, waiting for Levi was not only Elrond, but also a teenager and a woman standing behind him, who should be his mother.
The first moment he saw the two men, Farodan bowed in a very standard and respectful manner.
This is a greeting to Aragorn II, the sixteenth chieftain of the Dúnedain, and his mother.
Gilraen, Aragorn's mother, smiled and nodded to Farodan in response, and Aragorn also made a polite greeting to Farodan.
Then he looked away, raised his head, and stared at Levi with his big eyes without blinking.
Levi was a little scared by what he saw.
"Long time no see, my friend. I've heard a lot about you lately. It seems like you've been having a wonderful time these days."
Elrond stood up and greeted.
"It's not that bad, just traveling around or fighting something."
After responding to the previous sentence, Levi formally greeted him, "For me, it's been a long time since we last met."
He turned around and asked, "Who is this child?"
"This is Estel, the current leader of the Dúnedain."
"Greetings, legend of the wilderness, dragon slayer, evil nemesis... Mr. Levi."
The boy wanted to say all those titles in one breath.
But after saying only three, he realized that his memory wasn't that good, and his breath wasn't as long as he thought.
Well... just say it politely.
"hello."
Levi smiled and went over to touch Aragorn's head, and tried to pick him up.
"Wait a minute, sir, I am not a child anymore, please don't do this."
"Well, I'm sorry."
Levi pulled his hand back awkwardly.
It's a pity that I can no longer say to Aragorn, "I held you in my arms when you were a child."
