Chapter 65: Woodland Kingdom
"I've heard about you, a powerful warrior who is rumored to use some magical magic, the natural enemy of the Oaks: Levi."
Legolas put away his weapon, took two steps forward and said, "Welcome to the Woodland Kingdom, Legolas, greetings to you."
There have been a lot of rumors about this human being in recent times, and some of them are quite outrageous. When he first heard about it, Legolas was not convinced and thought it was an exaggerated rumor. After all, how could a human being do that?
It was not until later that his father, Thranduil, the king of the woodland, told him that this was true, did he pay attention to it.
[Reputation of Woodland Kingdom: +500 (respect)]
Even though Levi had never been to this place before, when they met, the initial reputation of the Woodland Kingdom was directly 500. This was probably because Levi plowed the Oaks in the valley near the Black Forest. What he did Because these elves can see it.
Since Levi's arrival, the main enemies of the woodland elves have become spiders, and there are fewer Oaks even harassing the forest borders.
In fact, after killing so many Oaks, Levi's reputation in most nearby camps has reached the "respected" level. Only some farther away have a lower reputation. However, as the rumors gradually spread, those The reputation of the place is also slowly increasing.
On the other side, another female elf came over after Legolas. She looked at Levi up and down and said, "Guard Captain Tauriel, greetings to you."
Levi nodded and replied: "Greetings to you."
After saying hello, Legolas said: "The reception may have to wait for a while. I have to deal with the dwarves here first."
"They are my companions." Levi explained.
"Sorry, I can't judge the purpose of these dwarves coming here. They must be taken back for questioning."
Legolas waved his hand and planned to search the dwarves.
"Why are you treating them differently!" Some dwarves started making a fuss.
"Discrimination, this is discrimination!"
"Didn't you hear that we are in the same group as Levi!"
"Go away, don't touch my things..."
"We have the same purpose." Seeing that the dwarves were about to be kidnapped, Levi said.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
The purpose is the same, which means that if they want to kidnap the dwarf, they must also kidnap Levi.
No one wants to be an enemy of a living legend.
Legolas stopped, turned to look at Levi, took a breath, and was about to say something.
Suddenly, a scout arrived and interrupted the exchange between the two. He said to Levi: "Lord Thranduil invites you to talk to him."
Legolas looked left and right, then gave up temporarily and gave the order:
"Bring them back."
The dwarves breathed a sigh of relief, and Bilbo, who was protected in the middle, also felt relieved and gave up the idea of being invisible. The group of people entered a palace surrounded by elves.
Bang!
The door is closed.
Although the dwarves avoided being searched and imprisoned, they were inevitably guarded by a group of soldiers to prevent them from making any moves.
A group of people were resting in the reception hall, muttering and discussing the current situation.
After a while, Thorin and Bilbo were led away to the king's throne.
But before them, Levi had been talking to Thranduil for a while.
"Since last year, I have heard that there was a brave ranger who fought against the Orc army alone in the Anduin Valley, evacuating the humans there, and he was accompanied by a gray robe wizard."
"I know Gandalf's abilities very well, so this makes people curious. How can you fight against so many Orcs by yourself?"
The king stood up from the throne, walked down slowly, and stared at Levi for a long time, apparently looking through the title library as usual.
"Use this." Levi patted his sword.
"This sword...can I see it?"
"certainly."
With permission, Thranduil took out the sword and looked at it carefully for a while.
"A sword with excellent forging skills. Does it have a name?"
"No, actually, I haven't thought of a name yet."
"The day it has a name, it will strike fear into the hearts of the Orcs."
The king made a prophecy, waved the sword flowers that were pleasing to the eye, and sheathed the sword.
"Thanks."
After polite greetings and greetings, Thranduil returned to the throne and got down to business: "Speaking of which, why did Levi, the natural enemy of the Oaks, the savior of mankind in the Anduin Valley, and the master of magical magic, come to the Woodland Kingdom? ?”
"Are you being hunted by the Orc army and seeking shelter, or are you just passing by?"
Li Wei wanted to explain the complicated reasons, but before he could think of the words, the king continued:
"No matter what your purpose is, you are welcome in the Woodland Kingdom. You can stay here as long as you want. We will leave our kindness and patience to our friends."
The king's attitude towards Livi was quite friendly, but he kept silent about the dwarves, as if Livi had come to the Black Forest alone.
"Those dwarves are my companions. The purpose of our trip is to regain the Lonely Mountain. I think His Majesty the King of the Woodland should understand the strategic significance there. If the dwarves can regain their homeland, it will become a solid line of defense against evil forces."
Levi took the initiative to clarify his words.
"Of course I understand, but have you forgotten that there is an evil dragon entrenched there?"
If Smaug is released, the first to be affected will be the Black Forest. At that time, other forces can wait and see for a while, but the Black Forest is definitely the most anxious one.
"I will deal with that dragon." Levi promised.
"You...?"
Thranduil wanted to laugh a little. How could a human know the horror of a dragon? Even when he led a legion, he did not dare to rashly go to war with the dragon.
Again, it is not that they cannot win, but the cost is too high, which can easily cause the elves' population to collapse.
The elves are not as prosperous as they were in ancient times. Any war will accelerate their decline.
Just when I wanted to remind this human friend not to brag, the guards suddenly arrived with two people.
Thorin and Bilbo.
At this moment, Bilbo opened his big eyes, looking at this and that, quite nervous, but after seeing Levi there, he also felt a little relieved.
When talking with Levi, Thranduil still had a faint smile and comfort on his face, but as soon as Thorin arrived, Levi immediately felt that the king's ease disappeared, and even the arc of his mouth was retracted.
As he said, the kindness of the woodland elves is only for friends.
Soon, the two kings talked about things.
Thranduil promised to help Thorin's action to regain his homeland, as long as they returned the things that originally belonged to the elves.
And Thorin still played steadily. As soon as he saw the elves, he began to sneer and refuse any conditions of the elves. He also felt that the elves owed them. By the way, he loudly condemned the king in the hall and cursed him after the condemnation.
Levi wanted to block Thorin's mouth several times.
Didn't you see Thranduil on the throne was so angry that his eyes widened.
I have never seen such a shameless dwarf!
Soon, Thorin knew that he had hit a wall this time. The woodland elves were not as good-tempered as the elves in the valley. Although they also had the usual elegance of the elves, this elegance was still accompanied by a hint of irritability.
"If you are willing to stay here, then you can stay here and slowly decay. Anyway, hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye for the lives of elves. I have the patience."
"Lock up these dwarves."
Under Thorin's abuse and insults, the influence of Levi's reputation was successfully wasted, and the dwarves were still confiscated and locked up.
However, Thranduil did not vent his anger on Bilbo, the Hobbit. After chatting with Bilbo for a few words, he let him go and allowed him to move freely like Levi.

In addition, I have been reading the opinions of book friends recently. There are indeed some places that are not well considered, but don’t worry, many things that have not appeared yet will be introduced little by little in the subsequent development.
Finally, I would like to sincerely thank the book friends for their support and tolerance again, and thank some book friends for their popular science in the comment area. This book can only get to this point without your support!
