Chapter 39: Conventions
Syllable.
Dongfang Yu's palm crossed a graceful arc, and in an instant, a sharp arrow was firmly grasped by him in the palm of his hand, and the movement was fast, but it had a strange beauty.
"Good!" Seeing that Dongfang Yu could even catch the arrows he shot, Legolas's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise it.
Although he was amazed in his mouth, his movements were not slow, the bowstring was quickly pulled apart, and three arrows were shot out in a row, but these three arrows were easily grasped by Dongfang Yu in his hand again, as if Dongfang Yu's palm had been waiting for Legolas to shoot the arrow into his palm.
Ling Bo walked slightly, Dongfang Jade toe lightly, his movements were elegant, and almost in a flash, he came to Legolas.
With a shrunk of his eyes, Legolas reflexively retreated, and at the same time, his fingers flipped over, and a dagger appeared between him, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, piercing Dongfang Yu's chest from a tricky angle.
Legolas's reaction was not unpleasant, but Dongfang Yu was faster, raised his palm and slapped it, and a strong palm force slapped out, shaking Legolas's dagger to the side.
Almost at the same time, a brilliant sword light flashed, and Legolas felt a chill in his throat, but it was Dongfang Yu's long sword, and the tip of the sword went straight to Legolas's throat.
Legolas's eyes shrank almost like the tip of a needle, unbelievable, under a single battle, he would be defeated so simply, he was a little discouraged, but then he was happy, there was such a person who has been working with himself, his own fighting skills, he will definitely be able to go further.
Holding a beautiful sword flower, Dongfang Yu returned the sword into the sheath, the movements were elegant and noble, Legolas was also convinced, his skills were not as good as others, and there was no need to make excuses.
Bang Bang Bang ......
There was a burst of applause, and the King of the Jungle, Seran Duyi, stood up from his throne, stared at Dongfang Yu with surprised eyes, and said, "Mr. Dongfang is the most athletic human I have ever seen, no wonder Legolas praises you, such a skill, I have only seen it in my life."
Dongfang Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, returned the etiquette elegantly, did not speak, but his heart was lively, tonight, Legolas suddenly said that his father wanted to see him, and then showed off in front of Thranduil, Legolas itched to practice a few tricks, Dongfang Yu spent a lot of hands and feet, and finally defeated this elf prince.
Looking at the appearance of Thranduyi, he also admires himself, which makes Dongfang Yu's mind lively, if he can speak, he has to find a way to rescue Thorin and them, time is running out, not to mention, he promised Gandalf that day to send these dwarves to the Lonely Mountain on time.
"Mr. Dongfang, I don't know if I can stay in the Jungle Kingdom, I hope Legolas can learn from you", Thranduyi, came to Dongfang Yu with great grace, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he could see that he attached great importance to Dongfang Yu, and let him teach his son.
Legolas was also slightly surprised, to the point where he is now, he still needs someone to teach? However, Dongfang Jade's strength was also enough, so Legolas did not open his mouth to refuse.
"Thank you for your kindness, but for the time being, I still have important things to do", after a moment of silence, Dongfang Yu still opened his mouth and politely rejected Seran Duyi's proposal.
"Something important? Is it to accompany those arrogant and impudent dwarves to the Lonely Mountain? It's a pity that they have to stay in my prison for the rest of their lives, Mr. Dongfang, why bother with these arrogant and impudent dwarves? Thrandui, his expression made no secret of his anger at the dwarves, and his voice was a little cold.
"The eagle soars in the sky, the fish and shrimp dive under the water, nature is like this, why should the eagle despise the insignificance of the fish and shrimp?" , Dongfang Yu also had an elegant smile on his face, and said calmly, looking at his bearing, he is more like an elf than a human.
Dongfang Yu's words made Seran Duyi stunned slightly, the smile on his face narrowed a lot, and there was a touch of thought between his eyebrows, even Legolas seemed to have an understanding.
"The elves are elegant and noble, just like the eagle soaring in the sky, and the dwarf is like a fish and shrimp, so why should the eagle force the fish and shrimp to be with him? Is a fish and shrimp out of the water still a fish and shrimp? Dwarves are greedy, rude, and rude by nature, but they also have a true temperament, and they may not really be unworthy of friendship, what do adults think? Oriental jade, homeopathic.
Dongfang Yu's words, although Seran Duyi has lived for so long, it is the first time he has heard it, the contrast between the eagle and the fish and shrimp is also extremely appropriate, the elven patriarch has been seen for a long time, and naturally understands more, the dwarf race is rude by nature, do you have to force them to be elegant and chew words?
Thinking of the dwarves walking, talking, thinking, and fighting like elves, for some reason, Thranduy felt as if he had goosebumps on his body, and that scene was really unimaginable.
"Maybe it's really as you said, maybe it's because I don't think about the problem from a perspective that is detached enough", Seran Duyi opened his mouth rarely, agreeing with Dongfang Yu's point of view.
These words made Legolas look at Dongfang Yu in surprise, can he make his father admit his mistake in words? Legolas, who also knew his father's character, knew how incredible it was.
"Why did your lord imprison Thorin and them?" Seeing that Thranduyi's tone was relaxed, Dongfang Yu was overjoyed and asked.
"......", Thranduil did not speak, did he confess that he was just to vent his anger?
Therlandui's reaction made Dongfang Yu understand, combined with the original work, thought for a moment, and said: "My lord, you also know the temperament of dwarves, it is difficult to talk to them calmly, not to mention Thorin's character? If there's anything I can do to help, why not speak up? ”。
I have to say that Dongfang Yu's words made Therlandui's heart moved, just a little investigation, he knew the weight of Dongfang Jade in the hearts of the dwarves, relatively speaking, if he wants to get back the white gem, Dongfang Yu may really be a breakthrough?
"The treasures of the Lonely Mountain are indeed amazing, but I am not a dwarf, and I don't have too many attachments to those golden treasures, all I want is a white gem, a gem like a white moonlight", Thranduy was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
White gems again? Hearing the words of the white gem again, Legolas was a little curious, why was his father so obsessed with a white gem? But now, this is not the time to ask, so Legolas just endured it and didn't ask.
"White gems? How much is it worth to adults? Dongfang Yu asked rhetorically.
"The value is incalculable," Serandui replied without thinking.
"How much is that worth to the treasure of the entire Lonely Mountain?" , Dongfang Yu asked again.
"A drop in the bucket," Serranduy replied as quickly.
"My lord, please see, this is a contract I made with Thorin, as long as I can take back the rule of the Lonely Mountain, I can get one-fourteenth of the treasure of the Lonely Mountain, you say, if I ask for the white gem, will Thorin give it to me?" Dongfang Yu took out a contract and handed it to Seran Duyi to read.
The next thing is naturally a matter of course, after all, Thrandui has no deep hatred with these dwarves, rather than imprisoning them for a lifetime and letting them die of old age in the dark forest, it is better to let them out, maybe if they succeed, then they will be able to get back the white gem?
Therefore, soon Dongfang Yu and Thrandui hit it off, and Thranduyi expressed his willingness to release Thorin and others, and even to a certain extent, the Jungle Kingdom would help them recapture the Lonely Mountain, but the condition was that he had to hand over the white gem to him, and this contract was not made with Thorin, but with Dongfang Yu.
Originally, Thrandui wanted to order the release of those dwarves, but Dongfang Yu stopped him, saying that once he gave such an order, Thorin would definitely be aware of the agreement between the two, and perhaps with his arrogance, he would not give the white gem to himself, why not play a scene where he secretly rescued them?
After thinking about it, Thrandui also felt that Dongfang Yu's words were reasonable, so he followed his words and let the elves in the prison pretend to be unconscious, and the elves in the wine cellar were also drunk.
Dongfang Yu took the key, made a thief, secretly released Thorin and them, and then rolled them into the underground river with a wine barrel as in the original book, and sent them out unknowingly.
"...... Taurrell", in the cellar, Thranduyi, who was hidden in the shadows, watched Dongfang Yu leave with the dwarves in the end, and spoke.
"Your Majesty", as the captain of the guard of the Elves of the Dark Forest, Taurrell spoke.
"Keep up with them, but don't draw attention, pay attention to their every move, and report to me exactly," Thranduy ordered.
"Okay," Taurrell nodded and sped away.
"Legolas, you are armed, as far as I know, there is a group of orcs following them, and once the news of Taurrell's danger comes, we will clear the way for them", in order to retrieve the White Jewel, Thranduy did not mind helping these dwarves, although he still did not like them.
"Okay", Legolas nodded as well, and regrouped for battle.
For a while, the elves of the entire dark and dense forest were all active, preparing for the next big battle.
