Chapter 56 Trivia in the Valley

Early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Bilbo wandered aimlessly between the balcony fences, strolling around and admiring the scenery here.

"Where the elves live..."

Just as Gandalf said, when he was a child, in order to find the legendary elves, Bilbo ran a long way alone, all the way to the forest, and when he came back in the middle of the night, his feet were full of leaves and gravel.

The heart of adventure had already sprouted for the first time at that time. Now that he really saw the elves, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his childhood wish.

While walking and sighing, suddenly a broken sword came into view, making the hobbit curiously tiptoe to look up.

Opposite the sword is a beautiful mural, engraved with a character wearing hideous black armor, a terrible helmet, and holding a black mace.

The most eye-catching thing is the ring on the man's hand, and the touch of gold is particularly conspicuous in this mural.

"Well, it feels a bit like Levi, but it looks more fierce than Levi."

Bilbo gave his own evaluation.

I feel that it is not as good as Levi... armor.

After leaving the mural, Bilbo put these things behind him in a blink of an eye, and continued to stand on a balcony somewhere, admiring the beautiful scenery.

Click.

Light footsteps came from behind, and along with it came Elrond's calm and reassuring voice:

"Not with your companions?"

"Uh, no, they won't miss me."

"In fact, they all think I shouldn't embark on this journey."

"Really?" Elrond looked at the hobbit and said, "I heard that hobbits are very adaptable to the environment."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I also heard that they especially like the comfortable environment at home."

Bilbo looked at the lord, thought for a while and said, "I heard that it is not wise to seek the advice of elves. Their answers are both yes and no."

Hearing Bilbo's words, Elrond was silent.

This is a text trap.

The only answer left for Elrond to answer this sentence is "yes" or "no", but if he really answers yes or no, it just confirms what Bilbo said.

After thinking seriously for a few seconds, Elrond suddenly realized that this was a joke.

But what he was going to say next was not a joke:

"We welcome you to stay here if you have the will."

As the most powerful lord of Rivendell, Elrond, like the wizards, could vaguely perceive some future trends.

This hobbit will suffer a lot of suffering in the future that he should not suffer because of his bravery, kindness, and compassion.

And the suffering he endured will play a big role in the safety of this world.

After saying this, Elrond turned and left, leaving the tranquility of the early morning to Bilbo.

"My lord, our cook is overwhelmed and the wine is almost gone. How long do you think they will stay?"

At this moment, two weeks have passed since the dwarves arrived in Rivendell. The elves who were responsible for receiving the dwarves were all busy. After Lindir counted the supplies, he hurried to Elrond for help.

"Host them first, and we'll talk about the supplies later."

It must be said that this elven lord is really generous, and he can tolerate his territory being destroyed like this.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, but as the lord was walking, he met a group of dwarves bathing in their clear fountain.

Elrond took a deep breath, wondering if he should put up a "No Bathing" sign next to the fountain in the future.

He has lived for thousands of years, and he has never seen such a scene.

Compared to these dwarves, Levi is much more polite.

Returning to his residence, Elrond sighed, took out a golden apple from his arms, and looked at it carefully.

This is a gift from Levi to him.

Not to mention the craftsmanship of the golden apple and the preciousness of the material itself, from the vitality contained in it, it is undoubtedly a treasure, and it is a treasure that is both beautiful and life-saving.

It is quite valuable.

So much so that Elrond couldn't think of what gift to return for a while.

This golden apple directly increased the reputation of Rivendell by 30 points.

However, before that.

On the first day of arriving at Rivendell, Levi first visited Aggra.

After more than half a year, this elf was still the same, living an unchanging life. The passage of time was quite slow for the elves to perceive, so that the first sentence Aggra said when he saw Levi again was:

"Hey, you are back?"

He even thought that Levi just went out for a while.

"Ah, yes, I am back." Levi chose to obey.

"I heard that you did a lot of things in the Anduin Valley on the east side of the Misty Mountains during your trip."

"Many elves are curious about the human who can scare the Orcs in a short time, but when they discuss the rumors, I can say that I know him."

"Oh, this..."

Levi felt a little embarrassed, the elf spoke so nicely.

"Oh, by the way, I came to you for something."

Levi took out a golden apple and handed it to Aggra solemnly.

"To thank you for your hospitality, I brought a little gift. I hope you like it."

"I believe it can help you in some critical moments."

"This..." Aggra looked at the golden apple and shook his head: "It's too expensive. I just did what I should do. It's not necessary."

"Sometimes I'm really troubled by your excessive reserve."

Levi said, forcibly stuffing the apple in his hand.

"This can be used as a witness to our friendship."

"Friendship..."

Agra rubbed the golden apple in his hand. Although elves generally like silver products that look like starlight, they will not refuse some exquisite crafts.

It can be seen that Aggra really likes this golden apple.

"If I were a female elf, I might have to stage an elf-human love story with you."

Puff——

Levi almost choked on his saliva.

"No, no, no, no, or you should return the golden apple to me..."

"Haha, just kidding, but this gift is indeed quite expensive. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please don't keep silent."

"I will remember this gift."

I don't know if it's an illusion.

As Aggra said this, there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his words.

Elves and humans.

Yes.

Levi couldn't help but sigh.

The lifespan of elves is infinite, and they can live forever as long as nothing unexpected happens.

But the lifespan of humans is only a hundred years at most.

All friendships with short-lived species will eventually turn into sad memories.

Feelings are heavy for them, so some elves die of sadness, and their lives wither with feelings.

However, although the lifespan of humans is only a hundred years normally, it is not certain for Levi.

It's just that all speculations need time to be verified.

"Hey, don't think too much, everything is good now, isn't it."

Levi said this.

In any case, judging from the results, the golden apple is indeed still on the aesthetic line of the elves, and it is more suitable to be given as a gift to the elves.

It's pretty good.
