The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit: The First Dance

Linton is the place name west of Ered Luin in the northwest of Middle-earth.This is the extreme west of the mainland, where the Gulf of Lune divides Linton into Forlindon (Forlindon) North Linton and Harlington (Harlindon) South Linton.Many Beleriands lived in Lindon, ruled by Gil-galad, among them the Noldor lived in Fringdon, and the Sindar lived in Harrington.Together they founded Mithlond, one of the two kingdoms of the Noldor in the Second Age (the other being Erejan), in the Firth of Lone in between.

Half a month later, the embassy of Sivanir arrived at Mithlond in Long Bay. The palace of Linton's ruler, Gilgalad, stood at the confluence of the river, with a long white The bridge spans both banks to support the castle built with huge stones of the same color, and the sky blue flag is fluttering in the wind.At dusk, the water of Long Bay is plated with a layer of warm gold and flows happily under the castle...

Linton, "Land of the Singers", the kingdom of the Noldor in Middle-earth, here we come!

Linton's elves entertain guests from afar with good food and wonderful songs.Gilgalad led Orofel to the reception hall of the castle. The white circular platform is simple and elegant, and the roof is decorated with transparent glass. On a moonlit night like today, the bright moonlight will gently shine in.

However, amidst the whispers of the elves gathering, Svanil quietly left the meeting place.She asked for directions and found where she was going.Thranduil held the wine glass and glanced at the direction where Svanil was leaving.

It was the second half of the first floor of the castle, a tall and wide space, with elves coming in and out, eating fruits, vegetables, fine wine, etc. in their hands.You guessed it right, this is the big kitchen of Linton Castle!Svanil looked at this place she had never been to, and all the elves who passed by gave her a friendly smile.After all, she had worked in the royal wine cellar of Amonlan for ten years, and based on this experience, she concluded that this kitchen is by no means so simple!

She made her way around several storage rooms where pumpkins, wheat, and honey jars were stacked from floor to ceiling.After many twists and turns, finally, Svanil stopped in front of a small jasmine wood door, the door was not high, just above her head, and there was no decoration on the door except for a white handle.At this time, the jasmine wooden door is closed, and the warm orange firelight shines out from the room. After taking a breath, there is also the aroma of strawberries and sweet milk tea.

She touched the doorknob, and gently pushed the wooden door open with a creak.There is a masonry stove in the house, and there are piles of bread, chocolate, cheese, herbs, etc., which are hard to see in the elf kitchen. Svanil even saw a handful of blue mountains thrown aside tobacco!Svanil walked in, sat down behind the smooth wooden dining table, put one hand on the table, and propped his head on the other hand to look at the elf who was busy behind the stove.

Yes, there is another elf in this room besides Svanil, and it is also an extremely handsome male elf!Although at this time he was holding a spatula in one hand and shaking the black iron pan in the other.His black hair was as black as the darkness before the dawn. It was bundled from his temples and merged into one at the back of his head, hanging down to his ankles. It shone faintly against the firelight.Due to the angle, only his side face can be seen in the warm orange light: full forehead, straight nose and slightly pursed mouth because of seriousness, this is really a good-looking side face!He was tall and slender, and a well-tailored sky-blue silver-inlaid robe moved with his body. At this time, the cuffs of the robe were rolled up, exposing his well-proportioned forearms.

At this moment, he lifted his forearm dexterously, and the golden omelette fried in the iron pan flew up into the air and turned around three times deftly—snap, and fell into the pan well spread again.

"Well... Er, you look so handsome holding a spatula, even better than holding a sword!" Sivan Er tilted his head and admired all of them.

Hearing the words, the male elf turned his head, and there seemed to be stars shining in his black eyes, gentle and bright.He was not at all surprised by the arrival of the female elf, as if he had known it for a long time, he smiled gracefully: "Sifan, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."After speaking, he casually stretched out his hand and scattered a handful of green onions.

Well, Svanil covered his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Elrond, who danced the spatula gracefully and calmly. Beautiful men and delicious food, this temptation is fatal!

Notes:

1. The location of Linton is in the northwest corner of the Central Continent, and the capital Mythrond is in Long Bay at the confluence of the two rivers.As for the specific appearance of Mithrond, the author imagined it himself. The castle spanning the bridge between the two rivers is amazing, isn’t it? !

About the setting of Elrond.In fact, Elrond is an extremely handsome elf, and he has the blood of humans, Maia, and Sindar; his ancestors have the famous beauty Lucien; He is described in the original book as "He is a leader, he is as handsome as a nobleman, as strong as a warrior, as wise as an Istari (wizard), and highly respected. He is as gentle as the summer breeze, and he appears in the In many stories...".It can be seen that although Uncle Guo played the role very well, there is no such thing as "hairline" in the original work ==, so the author thought about it. But... let's follow the original.

3. Furthermore, the protagonists in the article (Sifan, Thurse, El) are all young, so they cannot be considered with the "virtuous and respected" thinking that we often see later.The author will try his best to restore their reckless, impulsive, or immature appearance, try their best not to lose shape, and try their best not to be in vain.
