The palace of Yaminielos has a tall and solid gate. After entering, it is a flat ground paved with yellow boulders. On both sides of the road are neatly built flowers and trees.It was midsummer, and Kazuki crape myrtle was in full bloom.Look up at the end of the road: a magnificent golden palace is in front of you.

After traveling all night, Elrond had no intention of resting.He brought Svanyir to a small golden palace, explained a few words to the lady of the palace, then turned around and told Svanyir to live here, and he just asked the lady for anything he needed.After explaining everything, he hurried away with his herbs.

Svanil was watching him, when a gentle female voice sounded beside him in due course.Sifanyier turned his head to look, and it turned out to be a court lady, wearing a lavender dress.Based on her 50 years of experience in Central Continent, she concluded that this female officer was probably in her early thirties.

“Miss Elf, I am Victoria, the female officer of the Palace of Picking Stars, and I will be responsible for everything you do here.” Victoria raised her skirt and saluted, her eyes sparkling when she raised her head again.

“Hmm…” Sifanyier bid farewell to the luxurious life of opening his mouth and stretching out his clothes for too long, and he couldn’t get used to it all at once.

“I’ve already sent someone to tidy up the lady’s room, miss, you see…do you want to visit the palace first?” Victoria asked tentatively.

Sifanyier pondered for a while, and had a plan in his mind: “Prepare the meal first, and I need to take a shower after the meal. After taking a shower, I believe my room should have been tidied up?” Sifanyier looked at the female officer and saw After she gave an affirmative answer, she continued, “Then I need to go back to my room to rest.” Actually, it was sleep.

The stewardess nodded and did everything.

I have to say that the people in the Yaminielos Palace are extremely efficient. The milk and braised lamb chops on the table today made Svaniel move his index finger; the hot water in the bath made people want to cry; When Er fell headlong on the bed, he was so soft that he almost sank into it!

Svanil fell into a deep sleep, and this sleep made the sun fall from the mountain and the moon rise.

At night, there is a refreshing cool breeze that is rare in the summer heat.Svanil put on the new clothes sent by the maid – a light blue long dress embroidered with golden crape myrtle – and walked out of the room.

When she turned the corner, she stopped.From the other side of the corner, whispers came:

“Female elf!” There was excitement and excitement in the voice.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a female elf, oh, she’s so beautiful!”

“No! Did you see her long hair, I bet it was five feet long!”

Her companion nodded as if agreeing, and then said in a suppressed excited tone, “What do you think is the relationship between Lord Elrond and her?”

Sifanyier was startled, remembering that even a human mother with eight children would find time to gossip with her about neighbors who have puppy love, divorce, and chaotic relationships between men and women… She felt that this conversation was developing in an uncontrollable direction trend!

“Lord Elrond is single now!” Svanil was almost certain that the face of the woman who said this must be beaming with joy!

“Yes, yes! What do you think is the origin of that lady?”

“Well, I think…”

“Ahem!” Svanil came out from the corner.

The three human girls couldn’t help but be taken aback when they saw her.

“Hi, good evening! Well…” Svanil decided to change the subject, “What you said… Lord Elrond, as far as I know he is an elf, how could he live in this palace? “

The three human girls looked at me and I looked at you, and finally the one in the middle with cute freckles stood up and replied: “Our King is a distant relative of Lord Elrond, although this matter has passed a long time ago. year, but the first king who founded our city of Yamineros was Lord Elrond’s brother.”

Sifanyier seemed to be awakened, why did she only think of it now!It’s too obvious, isn’t it, an elf lives in the highest palace of human beings majestically, and is treated with respect.Isn’t it the descendants of elves and humans written in the history books, who can independently choose to become elves or human half-elves!As far as Svanil knows, both Elrond’s father and mother have passed away, and his younger brother… the human body has long since died.The current Renhuang should also be counted as his relatives, the son of the nephew’s son’s son… Although the bloodline is a bit far away, there is still a trace of connection.

After chatting with the three human girls for a while, Svanil said goodbye to them.

She walks in the palace at night.In the night, the palace is quiet and distant.As far as elves are concerned, few are so ill-fated as Elrond.Her friend Joyce is from Anle’s family. Joyce’s grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and great-great-great-grandmother are all living well in Big Greenwood.Svanil sometimes felt that her family was unhappy, but compared with Elrond, she was still the lucky one who had watched her relatives leave one after another for thousands of years.No wonder, when Svanil asked, “That is the palace of the Númenoreans, the territory of humans, and you, the elves!”, his starry eyes would be so lonely, “Yes, they are humans, And I’m an elf.”

Svanil let out a long breath, but his heart was still stuffy.

She walked up to a tall building and looked up: the moonlight seemed to polish the pale gold boulders to be smooth and simple, and the pale gold boulders built up one after another stood up to the towering tower in front of the sky.Svanil walked in, looked up, and saw the spiral stairs one by one, leading to the highest floor.The staircase rotates in a circle, two two-finger-thick hemp ropes hang down from the center of the circle, and two small hammers hang below the ropes.Looking up, you can see a bronze wall clock connected to the middle of the rope.You don’t have to bother to climb up when you ring the bell, just pull one end underneath.

More than ten minutes later, when Svanil climbed up the tower to the top floor in a daze, she unexpectedly saw a figure in a brown long coat. When the cool breeze blew on the roof, she immediately woke up. That person It was none other than Elrond, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

“Miss Svanil.” Elrond turned and greeted politely.

Thinking of what happened just now, Svanil’s anger has long dissipated, and his tone is very kind now, “Mr. Elrond, you can call me ‘Svan’!”

“Okay.” Elrond smiled and nodded, “Sifan.”

Svanil lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

“Are you still used to eating and living here?” Elrond asked kindly.

“Everything is fine!” Svanil said immediately.

“Are those herbs useful? Has your family cured it?”

“Okay.” Elrond smiled faintly, “I have to thank you, Sifan.”

Svanil had no choice but to pretend to be a smirk. For 30 gold coins, she scolded the black-haired elf in front of her, ah no, it was a black-haired elf!

Hey Hey.

Seeing that the scene was about to cool down, Sifanyier immediately asked a question.

“The stone of the palace, I mean the building stone… I think the material is quite strange. The color looks like volcanic stone, but it doesn’t feel like it. Do you know what it is made of?”

Elrond pondered for a while: “This stone is fished from the bottom of the sea. It is called shellstone. It is light yellow in color and hard in texture.” While talking, he raised his hand to touch the railing. beauty.Svanil looked at the finger with a little fascination, then looked up at the owner of the finger, and blinked.Elrond thought she still wanted to know more, so he continued: “When the city was built, the entire palace was made of shellstone, and the main roads in the city were also made of this kind of stone, so Yamineros It is not unreasonable to call it the ‘City of Gold’. In order to mine these, more than 3 laborers were employed, and it took about 20 years.”

“So that’s how it is,” Svanil sighed, “You know all the details!”

Elrond made no answer, but put his hands on the rail.When the night wind came, it blew his long black hair into a beautiful arc.

Sifan Yier reacted suddenly, of course he knew, this is the city his younger brother built, and his younger brother is dead! ! !Oh my god, for the first time, she found out that she has a problem with IQ, comparable to the dwarves in Iron Hills!She peeked at the male elf next to him. He looked at the last quarter moon in the sky that was curved into a sickle, leaving her with an extremely beautiful profile.The villain in Sifanyier’s heart was beating the ground in shame and anger, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Just as Svanil was struggling, the male elf spoke again.

“Why are you in Yaminielos, and you are still picking herbs? I remember you said that you came from the big green forest on the other side of the mountains.” Elrond asked, his eyes were still looking at the sky when he spoke the first half of the sentence, and the latter After half a sentence, he turned his gaze to Sifanyier.

Svanil was very happy to change the subject. Although it turned to herself, she thought she had nothing to say, so she quickly replied: “I decided when I was an adult that I should go out for a walk. After all… I think that before Xidu You should get to know the place where you are now. I have been to the Iron Hills where the dwarves gather. I helped them draw patterns and learned the dwarf language by the way. I also lived in Long Lake Town. Oh, the fertility of human beings is amazing! And , One time I went to the black market in Blue Mountain, where there were really all kinds of prohibited items, and there were actually horsemen selling things! And there are also…” Mentioning his own adventure, Svanil almost opened up the conversation box, and the more he talked, the more he talked. Excited, more and more excited!

Elrond, who was on the side, also listened with great interest, and was able to point out some problems and make some suggestions at critical moments.Especially after the two of them found out that they had both been to the Death Swamp, Elrond talked about with great enthusiasm that he once fished up a mermaid from the swamp. Put him back in the Great Lakes.

“Oh my god, it’s incredible!” Sifanyier sighed, and licked the corners of her mouth again. She is a little dry now, and it is estimated that the two chatted for an hour, and the relationship has become so good that they call each other nicknames!

Elrond himself was a little thirsty, so he said, “Come, let us go to the kitchen and get something to eat.”

Svanil looked at the sky, it’s not good to trespass in the kitchen in the middle of the night.

On the contrary, the person on the other side walked to the bronze bell in the center of the tower with a calm and calm attitude.Put a handkerchief on the place where the bell was ringing all the year round, and then turned to Svanil, “Come.”

“What are you doing?”

“Go downstairs. Don’t you want to go to the kitchen to get food?” Elrond smiled mischievously.

Seeing Elrond holding the hemp rope in one hand, Svanil was standing at the stairs. She had roughly thought about what would happen next, so she walked over.

Elrond grabbed the hemp rope with one hand, and wrapped his arms around Svanil’s waist with the other, “Hold tight”, Svanil only reached the opponent’s chest, so he consciously wrapped his arms around the opponent’s neck.Being too close, Svanil felt a little blushing.But before Svanil sorted out his thoughts, Elrond jumped out of the stairs lightly.

On a rope, two beautiful elves were slowly turning down from upstairs.A man and a woman, with long black and blond hair swaying in the wind, tan and blue-gold clothes swirling and fluttering, as beautiful and gorgeous as blooming flowers.The white moonlight shone in from the glass on each floor of the tower, and the figures of the two elves flickered.Svanil looked up at Elrond, who was hugging him tightly, with black hair fluttering and handsome.Elrond also looked down at the female elf in his arms, with long blond hair, a long blue dress, a slender waist, and… eyes as clear as a clear stream.They descended slowly, and there seemed to be a quiet and distant smell in the swirling air…

Boom—with a muffled sound, they reached the bottom of the tower.

Elrond let go of his hand naturally, and smiled slightly: “It’s here.”

Svanil also got off Elrond, feeling strangely natural!

“Let’s go, it’s a good time to go, and there will be more people in the kitchen after a while.”

“Why?” Svanil asked a little foolishly.

Elrond returned a smiling face while walking: “Because they have to prepare breakfast!”

The night is quiet, the sky in the east is about to light up, and the golden palace is sleeping in a dream that is about to wake up.Svanil’s memories of that night are all about the black-haired, long-clothed elf in the revolving tower, with starry eyes.The memory is intertwined with colors, with joy and a little sadness…

“Click.” The sound of the plate being placed on the wooden table.

Svanil looked at the food in front of him: two large slices of grilled lamb chops on an iron plate, dripping with oil; a pot of fish soup with corn and mushrooms, the soup color was as attractive as cream; a plate of egg pancakes with sweet potatoes; a plate of vegetables with Potatoes; a steaming pot of tea with milk; and finally the strawberry tart that Elrond had just set down.

Svanil’s tone of awe: “El!…” She no longer knew what to praise, all words paled before such delicious food!

Elrond poured a cup of milk tea alone.

“Welcome to Linton!”

“Thank you for the hospitality!”

The two clink glasses.

After the meal, the atmosphere in the small kitchen became lively.

“I saw you in a daze just now, what were you thinking?” Elrond cut off a piece of lamb steak and put it in his mouth.

Sifanyier’s mouth was full of egg pancakes, and after swallowing it with difficulty, she said: “I was thinking, how can I lure you back to the big green forest, so that I can have delicious food every day!” What about the scene.

Elrond said naturally: “Don’t lie, if you invite me, I will go.”

Sifanyier choked on the potato, why did he say this so seriously!

“Really?”

“Don’t you want me to go?” Elrond grinned viciously, showing his white teeth.

“…”

The dinner party in the kitchen is still going on. Outside the kitchen, the sycamore tree in the courtyard stands tall and straight.Beside the plain jasmine wooden door, stood an elf in a long silver dress. He had long pale golden hair, and his robe was as smooth as water under the moonlight.Thranduil stood with his head sideways, and the sound of friendly and warm conversation and the smell of food could be heard from the door.Finally, he looked up at the moon in the sky, with no expression on his handsome face, he turned and left.

Elrond inside the door cut out a piece of strawberry pie and put it on the opposite plate, “Sifan, King Eurofel and Prince Thranduil are here in the delegation of the Great Green Forest this time, right?”
