Chapter 210 Second meeting

This family of three...from grandfather to grandson, are the last three ruling prime ministers.

The further time goes by, the greater the pressure on the prime minister.

In the garden, Levi shook his head, not knowing what to say.

With the teenage boy Denethor in front of him, he still didn't know how much pressure he would face in the future, what kind of regrets and separations he would experience, and eventually collapse.

But...

Levi touched the boy's head and smiled.

"This is a good kid."

"well…"

Looking at the back of his old father blankly, Ecthelion sighed, but he quickly regained his energy and continued talking with Levi.

"Glad to hear you say that."

At this time, Denethor suddenly said: "Lord Levi."

"I want to ask you for advice."

"oh?"

Swish——

The young man pulled out the sword from his waist, raised his head proudly, and said, "I want to challenge you!"

After a moment, Denethor withdrew his sword with wet eyes.

"Child, you can come to the roadside fort when you have time. Everyone in the military camp, even the new recruits, know how to swing a sword better than you."

Levi said something very shocking.

But I believe that the mentality of the last prime minister, who can face-to-face with Sauron for decades in the future, should not be so fragile... right?

"My lord, he is still a child."

Ecthelion leaned over and whispered.

"cough."

"It's great too."

Levi offered some encouragement.

However, the seeds of dissatisfaction had taken root in his heart. From that day on, Denethor worked extra hard on various matters, and his life-threatening attitude made his teachers and family members speechless.

The day passed so uneventfully.

Turgon could not sleep that night, and he could not close his eyes until half of the night.

Late at night, Ecthelion knocked on the door of his room and brought a plate of fruit and hot soup stewed by the chef.

"Father, maybe we need to talk."

"What do you want to say?" Turgon's tone was not very good.

"I have to refute your words. Maybe it's not me who has my eyes and ears covered, but you. You are so busy with distant affairs that you no longer care about the current rumors."

"Heh, tell me then, what's the merit of this so-called 'current rumor'?"

Ecthelion perked up at the mention of this.

"This story is not short. First, we have to mention the refugees in the Anduin Valley, and then the Lonely Mountain..."

"I have heard all this. I know that he is a very powerful lord. The magical swordsmanship and magic are used in his hands like breathing."

"Tell me something I haven't heard before. Maybe your story will help me sleep well." Turgon seemed a little uninterested.

"Then you may not have heard the rumors about the Far East and the South. You should still remember that Captain Kane of the Ithilien Commando whom you assigned to the South. He only answered the questions you asked in the hall, but did not mention anything about the South. And the rumors about the Far East..."

"It's also about Levi."

The sun is rising.

The next day, Livy visited the palace again and met Turgon in front of the throne.

With Turgon were his sons Ecthelion and Denethor, and three generations of the family were gathered here.

It's just that except for Denethor, the other old and strong people all looked a little haggard, as if they hadn't slept well.

In the hall, after a brief silence, Turgon sighed and said: "Gondor is willing to be friends with you."

Then he kept silent.

"You don't need me to salute?"

Turgon said nothing, but looked at Ecthelion and then at Denethor.

Finally shook his head.

"The future does not belong to me."

"Lord of the North - Livi, it is an undisputed fact that Gondor is helped by you."

"Can you ask for anything?"

"Everything I want is already here."

Levi took out a bunch of flower seeds that the captain of the guard personally sent yesterday and shook them.

Turgon glanced at Ecthelion standing aside in confusion.

"Those are the seeds of flowers, father."

"That's not much of a reward."

Even though he was very reluctant, Turgon said this sentence awkwardly.

"If you really can't think of anything, then think of this as a reserved promise - the promise of the prime minister."

"Gondor does no wrong to anyone who helps it."

"Actually, it's not like I don't have anything I want to do."

Levi suddenly said: "I heard that there is a true knowledge crystal in Gondor?"

Turgon frowned.

Where did he hear this news?

"There is indeed one."

"I want to borrow it."

"No!"

Turgon refused rather harshly, and this time even Ecthelion, who had been quite friendly since their meeting, became serious.

"no."

"I hope you understand."

Turgon said slowly: "The king only has the right to use the crystal, we are just keeping it for you."

"As you said, I am the Chancellor, the Chancellor of Gondor. I have no right to touch the crystal, nor to give it to others."

After saying this, Turgon felt inexplicably better.

The words that Levi choked him turned into a boomerang and finally hit himself.

"Even if we don't mention these, the Palantir is a very dangerous item. People with weak wills will be controlled by the enemy on the other side if they are not careful."

"I have used other Palantirs before."

Levi retorted: "But Sauron couldn't do anything to me. You should have seen how angry he was."

"How can you mention that name openly..."

Turgon said anxiously, but he suddenly realized it after he finished speaking.

This?

Although the name of the enemy was mentioned, it seemed that no evil aura descended on this place.

"What's wrong?"

"I underestimated you."

Turgon's breathing slowed down a little, and he said, "Perhaps you are so powerful that you don't care about this kind of influence, but I must warn you that this name contains magic. Those who recite it are easily noticed by evil eyes and will be corrupted if they are not careful."

"You don't care, of course, I don't care, and my son doesn't care, but this name must not be heard by the residents. If someone is curious and recites it casually, the most likely thing waiting for him is corruption."

"You don't want any evil to breed in your territory, right?"

"Corruption?"

Levi frowned and said:

"It's indeed worth noting."

If this happens, it's really a headache.

For the troubles that happen to him, Levi has always been accustomed to finding the source directly and then killing the source.

But if the source is Sauron, it's really not easy to deal with it now. Although Sauron is currently in a relatively weak period, he has the evil black tower Baradur.

Levi never forgot that Sauron was not only the Dark Lord in people's mouths, a powerful warrior who could overthrow two High Kings with one hammer, but also a wizard. Wizards have home advantage in their own wizard towers.

Just like Levi in ​​his own territory, they all have their own environment to help.

Originally, they didn't beat Sauron in Dol Guldur last time. Even though their strength has been strengthened since then, and they can resist magic attacks and crush the Ringwraiths, it is still easy to overturn if they really break into Mordor and face Sauron in his home field.

This matter still needs to be planned slowly.
