134 Surrounding on the return journey
After a few days of rest in the fortress in the Shadow Mountains, Charles took a group of elves rescued from Angban and rushed towards the east.
Not all slaves were with him. Some of these slaves who escaped from the sky chose to leave alone to find their own homes.
Some stayed in the fortress of the Shadow Mountains and were preparing to take revenge in the form of joining the army.
Some hope to follow for the time being, then arrive in Dorias and enter the Kingdom of Grey Elves - because most of the slaves are Cinda Elves.
Since Charles needed to send Lucien back to Dorias, he actually followed suit.
The Angban in the north is silent, which seems a bit worrying, but it also makes the area within the encirclement line still stable.
So much so that Lucien, who was walking in front, seemed quite relaxed along the way, and even hummed some beautiful songs from time to time.
Looking at her figure holding the skirt in front of her, not only Charles, but also the slaves behind her could feel a happy mood, and then her tense mood quietly relaxed without realizing it.
Simple dance makes people happy, while the humming that comes with it looks light and interesting, and it only makes people think very influential when they hear it.
Because the thoughts in my mind are always deviated by this wonderful rhythm, and I no longer want to think of some heavy things.
"Your Highness the Princess is really kind." During the rest, one of the leading elfs in the escapee sighed.
I don’t know if it’s intentional, but along the way, with Lucien’s singing and dancing, some of the gloom in the hearts of these escapees behind me did disappear.
After looking at the tall figure under the tree, Shire smiled.
He did not ask for a diamond in the end.
At first, that was something Lucien loved, and he didn't want it.
Secondly, it is useless to ask for it. Although the diamond looks very attractive, he didn't see any help from it.
The caster of the Elf Diamond is Fiano, the second supreme king of the Nodo tribe, and the glory of the Double Holy Tree that had already withered was sealed.
As soon as the treasure was cast, it was considered a treasure of the world by Fiano and even the entire Nodo tribe, and Vera even loved it very much.
Although the main reason why Nodo ran out was that Morgoth killed the first supreme king Fenway, recapturing the plundered elves was also one of their motivations.
Fiano later became obsessed with this before his death, and asked his sons to make a vow to recover the poison before he could feel at ease.
So it cannot be seen with its actual ability, but its symbolic significance is very strong.
Therefore, it can be used to influence the Nodo tribe, or to influence the seven warlord sons who were very persistent in this.
But thinking about the genius belonging to the culprits of the gentry of Nodo and the slaughter of the same race, giving the diamond to them seems to affect the senses of those powerful Westerners—
The Vera seem to be still paying attention to Middle-earth, but they are unlikely to have any good feelings for the instigation of the more they want to go out and take the lead in massacre of the ocean elves. If the diamonds that caused the dispute were handed over to them...
It was mainly the Namu, who was in charge of the soul, who had personally lowered the curse because of Nodo's slaughter of his fellow tribes. He obviously had no good feelings for Nodo and even Fiano who had fled.
So, considering Eor, Charles finally gave up on this idea.
After all, he had no good feelings for those seven guys.
...
The wonderful singing and dancing and the already beautiful environment of Middle-earth world made the escaped slaves' originally heavy hearts relax, and in the end some even sing with Lucyan. Although the song was hoarse, it was filled with another special style.
This certainly makes them more adapted to a new life, but it slows down their journey.
However, Charles did not urge him, although he actually wanted to return to Qihe immediately.
"Carner, why don't you talk? What are you thinking?"
A pleasant sound rang out from his ears. Looking up, the dizzying beautiful face was very close to him. A spring fragrance like flowers and plants floated in, clearly and could be heard.
The elegant fragrance is not strong, but it is vague, but it seems to be able to float deep into the mind, making some moods unconsciously tempted.
"I was wondering how to destroy Angban." Charles rubbed his nose unnaturally.
This person usually looks polite and subtle, but sometimes he looks very reckless and generous. For example, now, the distance is so close, it really makes people feel a little uncomfortable...
At this time, Charles was sitting on an oak tree on the high slope of the lawn. Under the slope was the temporary rest camp for the escapees. Now they were escorting the soldiers to make fires and make meals.
Lucien, who was squatting beside him, blinked when he heard this.
"How could Angban be destroyed so deeply?"
"So it's a difficult problem." Charles shrugged and then changed the subject.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what have you done when I suddenly went to Angban to do?"
This question once confused Lucien, but now she doesn't care.
"Do it if you want to do it. Didn't you ever say that you hope that one day I can do what I want to do? I think that's what I want to do."
Seeing his face stunned, Lucien suddenly carried his skirt and turned around in front of him, and then asked with a smile.
"And, don't you think I'm any different now than before?"
different?
After looking at it carefully, Charles touched his chin unconsciously.
This guy seemed very happy along the way, but it seemed like he was in a good mood, right?
"I feel like I have wings." Lucien said seriously.
"I asked my mother when I was a kid, why we don't have wings, but birds have it. She said that our natural burden of fate is heavier than birds, so we don't have wings to make us fly, but now..."
After she said that, she couldn't help laughing again, and her joyful smile was as amazing as if flowers were in full bloom.
"So what exactly do you feel?"
Charles couldn't help asking.
According to his past experience, existence influenced by fate is no longer controlled at all times.
But this person's previous performance is not the same.
The power she carries is rigid and unreconstructive... She can't even see any "backlash" when she is freed.
This is completely different from his own experience.
"I don't know, when I hold the diamond, I feel very relaxed, and then...and I've been happy all the time, like I have wings."
She seemed to have thought of something, and after saying that, she glanced at Charles, then hummed a small song and walked away.
Shire was speechless.
Although there is no breakthrough in the relationship, the two of them are now considered good friends.
After all, no matter what, I have been "sharing hardships" in Angban.
So some behaviors that seem rude but actually appear closer gradually happen naturally.
Shire felt good about this, but at present, he was still mainly interested in returning to the Seven Rivers as soon as possible, and then carefully ask the mysterious blacksmith, and ask whether his guess was correct.
Then, according to the other party's reply, he thought about how to tell the cheap mother who was far away in the hidden kingdom...
The second consideration is how to find a way to completely destroy Angban.
Although everything is still stable at the moment, he believes that if the threat is not resolved as soon as possible, trouble will always be inevitable in the future.
"It's a pity that my strength has grown slowly... I can only rely on the army?" Shire, who was leaning against the tree, pondered this question.
Although the elf is basically an adult at the age of 50, he feels that his "development" has not stopped.
This is not just about the physical aspect, but also about the two special talents.
Shire didn't know what the upper limit of that talent was, and he might be very strong in the future, but for the moment, he could not use his own strength to fight against the huge number of enemies.
...
The original route back was to follow the fields at the foot of the Shadow Mountains and enter Doronian, and then follow a path south of the highland to directly reach the northern border of Dorias.
The itinerary was very smooth in the early stages, but when they threw the Shadow Mountains behind and were about to enter Dosonian, a group of sudden elves surrounded them.
The sound of horses neighing and weapons colliding sounded densely from the surroundings. The escapees and the escort soldiers sent by the fortress quickly leaned together to form a circle, facing this group of sudden tribes full of vigilance.
"Who are you?" The fortress officer beside him who was helping to escort him shouted.
"Let the weapon down! Don't you know that the blood relatives and tribes who are both under the command of the Supreme King?"
"But I'm looking for you!"
A familiar voice sounded, and Charles, who was beside the officer, looked around and saw a light-dressed black-haired elf.
