Chapter 308 Advancement
Frodo's parents were rescued, and he avoided the fate of becoming an orphan.
When he heard the report from the rangers, Levi leaned back.
A stone fell from his heart.
Yes, the two rangers were arranged by him.
Of course, the Shire region did not have rangers this year. Many years ago, when the influence of the roadside fort radiated to the entire Shire, naturally, there were more rangers on duty in the peaceful area where the Hobbits lived.
On the one hand, it was a routine to explore the situation of the forces near the roadside fort, and on the other hand, it was also to conduct counter-reconnaissance on the spies planted by Saruman to prevent them from doing bad things.
While doing these things, by the way, or out of instinctive duty, the rangers were also secretly maintaining the safety of the Shire region without being known.
It was not because Levi assigned that the rangers saved the couple, but the rangers had been secretly on duty in the Shire for a long time. It was only because Levi mentioned it that they paid more attention to the river this year.
In fact, if it weren't for the incident of Zhuo Guo and his wife falling into the water, most people in the Shire region would not know that there are still rangers active here.
In any case, the result is good.
There is one less tragedy in the world.
People continue to live their lives, following their own trajectory day after day.
For Levi, who has been accustomed to a leisurely life, this year is not very peaceful.
Senger couldn't hold on.
When Levi arrived in Rohan, it was difficult for him to open his eyes again.
Facing Levi, who was still as young as decades ago, Senger's face was calm.
In the hall, he sat on the throne with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"So far, what I miss most is the time we traveled together, especially when we made a fuss in the hall, hahahaha..."
Looking at this weak but desperately laughing old man, Levi was speechless for a while.
He didn't take out the golden apple or healing potion and hand it over as before.
- He has done this too many times in the past many years, but he was rejected every time.
There are some things he can't change.
People say that this legendary lord has medicine that can cure all diseases and magical healing magic that can make people with broken necks survive.
This is indeed true.
But that's all.
Life... It's not a disease or an injury, it can't be saved.
Amid Senger's laughter, Levi sat on the steps next to the throne and sighed:
"I miss those journeys too."
The laughter gradually faded.
Senger suddenly said, "I really want to drink the soup you made again."
"Actually, I know, Levi."
Before Levi could respond, Senger changed the subject again and said, "I know that the soup I made was unpalatable, and I also know that you actually poured out the bowl of soup that day."
"This is really sad, but it doesn't matter. I can understand that sometimes, maybe some people just can't do something well."
"I made soup many times afterwards, but every time only my wife and I drank it."
"Ah...Mo Wen...only she is willing to tolerate my willfulness like this."
"I will go before her, but fortunately, we still have our children, and Mo Wen still has their company, so she won't be lonely."
Levi lowered his head and stared at the floor, just listening silently, without saying anything.
The hall was quiet for a while.
After a moment, a particularly obvious inhalation sound came.
Levi raised his head and looked at the weak figure.
"Actually...I slightly improved the recipe, and now it may be barely edible, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to make it again..."
Huh——
After saying this, Senger breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, there was some movement outside the door.
"Theoden, and Morwen are here."
"Let me talk to them again."
So Levi stood up and left this last time to Senger's family.
When one foot stepped out of the door, another voice suddenly came from behind.
"Goodbye, old friend."
"... Goodbye, old friend."
Senger's wife and children passed by Levi and walked into the hall.
What they said, Levi didn't know, nor did he hear.
Only a moment later, there was a cry from them.
It was not until then that Levi took a deep breath, took a step forward, and left here.
Silent and soundless.
In 2980, Senger, the sixteenth king of Rohan, died.
During his reign, Rohan prospered and developed, and foreign enemies could not invade at all.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@@九@@@书@@吧!! Update!
Theoden ascended the throne and became the seventeenth king.
"Please wait a moment!"
In the capital of Rohan, outside the Golden Palace, just as Levi was about to leave, a voice suddenly called him.
Looking back, it was a palace guard.
He ran over with a bowl of soup and said, "This is what King Senger left for you."
Levi took the bowl of soup in a daze, looked at the steam still rising from it, sniffed it slightly, and suddenly smiled.
There was no strange smell.
It seemed that Senger had really tried to improve it.
So Levi raised his head, drank the soup and--
"Puff--"
He was cheated.
…
Time flies, and many days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Whenever he looked up at the sky, Levi would stand there for a long time, and he would feel a sense of unreality in his heart, as if a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and then he would go to eat, and another year would have passed.
If he continued to sleep at this time, and opened his eyes, it might be seven or eight years.
There is a saying that the first one is always the most impressive.
Long ago, Levi had a doubt, why when the elves faced a dwarf or a human, they always thought of his ancestors first, as if they only knew his ancestors many generations ago but not the person himself.
Including Gandalf, he always liked to move his eyes forward instead of looking at the people in the present.
Now thinking of this doubt again, Levi finally has some answers.
When he saw Theoden, he would first think of Senger, and his infamous father Fingal.
When he saw Denethor, he would think of Ecthelion, and even Turgon, who he knew earlier.
When he saw Bain and Brand, he would think of Bard.
These people from the previous era - or more accurately, the people who lived in the same era as Levi, left a deep impression on Levi, and they had experienced many things with him, so that even after so many years, Levi's impression of their entire family is still mostly about these people.
The younger generation has its own stories, but there is no Levi in their stories.
His perception of time has long been blurred, and it seems that only a moment has passed, and all his friends have left.
Only their descendants are standing in front of him, calling him uncle, or grandpa.
And he can only look at the familiar face of the younger generation in front of him like Elrond did when he first met Thorin, and greet him: "I know your ancestor, you have his style."
Perhaps the younger generations will also make some earth-shaking achievements, which will make people remember them.
Even so.
But the most familiar and most interacted with in memory are still only the first batch of people.
The further back you go, the earlier you know people, the deeper the impression.
Although they have long passed away.
