Chapter 562: King Thrandil's Advice
Prince Legolas was slightly stunned.
He had no idea that the arrogant and ruthless King Thranduil would say such a thing to him.
I'm worried about you......
Prince Legolas was a little overwhelmed.
For so many years, King Thranduil has always been strict with him, and even if he performed well, King Thranduil never praised him.
Yes, not once.
And now, the king of Thranduil has said to him, "I am worried about you......
Prince Legolas thought he was having auditory hallucinations, but he saw that King Thrandil's eyes were full of vicissitudes and aging.
He almost forgot that his father, the king, was more than 10,000 years old.
Although more than 10,000 years is not the end for the elves, 10,000 years is indeed long enough.
In the past, Prince Legolas did not understand King Thrandil very well, but now, Prince Legolas has some sympathy for King Thrandil.
Does everyone seek longevity and immortality?
Perhaps, but if these 10,000 years are full of longing and pain, then what's the point of living 10,000 years?
Prince Legolas's mother was killed by orcs in the Second Age, which means that King Thrandir has lived in agony for nearly 1,000 years.
Such a long period of pain and longing will break people's hearts.
However, King Thranduil persevered.
Prince Legolas was eager to ask what the trick was, and if there was, then he wouldn't have to be sad about what had happened to Tauriel.
However, he did not have the courage to ask.
When King Thranduil saw that Prince Legolas was just looking at him blankly, he smiled dumbly, "Isn't my appearance very embarrassing?" ”
Prince Legolas nodded at first, then felt rude, and quickly shook his head.
King Thranduil didn't mind, he smiled lightly and said, "Actually, you don't know, I have a time when I am more embarrassed...... That year, your mother had just died...... I actually want to follow her......"
Prince Legolas's heart sank.
He had never heard anything from King Thranduil about his mother, and his impression of her was so faint that he could scarcely remember what her mother was like.
But he knew that his mother must have loved him very much.
King Thranduil sighed and said, "Unfortunately, you were still young at that time, and the Wood Elves were still facing a lot of dangers and troubles, as their king, even if I felt pain in my heart, I had to persevere, and I told myself at that time that I would at least wait until you were an adult, and then I could follow your mother......"
Prince Legolas hurriedly said, "Father! You must not have such thoughts! You are the leader of the Wood Elves, the pillar of the Wood Elves, and if you are gone, the Wood Elves are finished! ”
King Thranduil smiled, "I'm glad you think so, but I'm looking forward to your growth more than anything else. Judging by the performance of this war today, you have done a very good job. ”
Prince Legolas said sincerely, "No, Father, I can't compare with you! ”
Lord Thranduil smiled and said, "When I was your age, I was far worse than you, and I would not dare to face an enemy as powerful as Polger, let alone fight alongside Thorin to kill berserkers. In fact, you've done really well, you've been doing well, and I'm just going to tell you until today. ”
Prince Legolas felt his eyes moisten suddenly.
After so many years, he finally got his father's approval.
"What's next, do you have any plans?" Lord Thranduil asked as if chattering.
Prince Legolas shook his head and muttered, "I don't know ......"
He is still in the throes of a broken love, it is difficult to get out for a while, and he feels that he needs to leave for a while. "Yes
King Thranduil said: "Stay, deal with the affairs of the Wood Elves with me, you can already take charge of the affairs of the Wood Elves, you can form an alliance with other political bodies in Middle-earth instead of me, so that slowly, you will become a qualified Wood Elf King, and magnify our Wood Elf clan." ”
Prince Legolas hurriedly said, "Father, I'm afraid...... Not ready yet. ”
Lord Thranduil frowned slightly.
Legolas sighed and said truthfully, "I like Taurrell. ”
"I know that, but you can't be with him." King Thranduil shook his head and said: "You are a prince, and she is just a commoner, as a prince you can have love, but your bloodline cannot be combined with the blood of a commoner, this is your responsibility, a responsibility to all wood elves, unless you are not a prince, you must fulfill this responsibility." ”
Prince Legolas smiled bitterly, "If it was before, I would definitely refute you, and then our father and son would have quarreled, but now, I can't refute anything." I like Taurell, but Taurell doesn't like me. ”
King Thranduil was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "I'm sorry for my child, but you must understand that this world does not revolve around any of us, we are just ants in this world." ”
"I understand, thank you for your comfort." Prince Legolas laughed.
Lord Thranduil asked, "Are you really not staying?" ”
"Yes, I want to take a break, I think there are some things I want to figure out, but I still don't understand it completely." Prince Legolas said.
King Thranduil thought for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion. ”
Prince Legolas asked, "What advice?" ”
King Thranduil said, "You can join the Snow Emperor's mercenaries and be a part of them. Of course, normally speaking, an elven prince with noble blood is not allowed to be a mercenary, but the Snow Emperor mercenary team is extraordinary, there is a dragon slayer, I believe he will teach you a lot of useful things, and you can also get a good experience. ”
Prince Legolas nodded heavily, "If it's possible, of course I want to join the mercenary team of the Dragon Slayer, but I don't know if the Dragon Slayer will accept me." ”
Lord Thranduil said, "I should still have some thin noodles, and I can help you with it, if you will." ”
Prince Legolas shook his head, "I'll tell myself, I'm grown up, father. ”
Lord Thranduil nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you go, remember, no matter what, no matter what the future holds, the Wood Elves and I will always be your strong backing." ”
Prince Legolas covered his heart and bowed to King Thrandil, and when he had finished his salute, he turned and walked out of the narrow passage.
It's sunny outside, the worst is behind us, and everything is getting better.
