[Through Middle-earth BG Lord of the Rings Fans] A Different Life Das Leben der Anderen

……

"I'm so shocked..." I muttered in a daze.

"You're still in shock, so I'm in shock." Elidan, who rarely got together with Yi Luohe, looked at the scenery outside the terrace with a face of "I'm upset, don't mess with me".

"This is simply...it's unbelievable, I, I'm so shocked..." Still unable to calm down, I looked at Odelia next to me and asked, "Odelia, what are you doing?" think?"

"...I was shocked." Audrey looked at me calmly and replied.

"Me too, shocked." I nodded in agreement, "This is really... I, I don't know how to describe it."

"...Shocking?" Odelia prompted.

"Yes, shocked!" I immediately affirmed, and then turned to Elidan and asked, "Are you sure you heard it right? You know, many words can be misheard as..."

"I understand your desire to overthrow this fact," Elidan interrupted my self-deception, "but it is pointless to question the hearing of our elves at this time. Glorfindel has already applied to his father, and it is estimated that his father is now working on it. How to explain it to my grandmother is a headache."

"But... a duel? Glorfindel and Haldir? This is simply... I don't understand, it doesn't make sense at all!" I was already a little incoherent.

"It has been many years since an elf made a duel request to another elf, let alone Glorfindel, who has always been not good at disputes." Elidan who spoke in a muffled voice lowered his head slightly, not knowing Thinking about something.

"..."

After careful analysis, Glorfindel and Haldir belong to two different elven territories. Firstly, possible land disputes are ruled out; secondly, one of them bears the name of a golden flower lord, and they teach swordsmanship and brag on weekdays. The one who "remembers the past" has a good deeds, and the other is a patrol captain who is strict in self-discipline and conscientious, has won the respect of the big leader, Grandma Gai, and has a bright future. What's more, the two of them should have known each other for thousands of years, and they should be very clear about each other's personalities. It wouldn't take so long to think of a fight, right?Is it for money? !If the target is Lindir and Thranduil, then I absolutely believe that they are the kind of money lovers who will not hesitate to start a war for a gold coin, but Glorfindel and Haldir...

"You don't have to think about it anymore, Irohe and I have been thinking about it for a long time." Elidan turned over from the stone railing where he had been sitting, "They have no old grudges, nor are they competitive. An elf who fights against things outside of him."

"Could it be for someone?" Odelia asked suddenly.

"Who?...Are you referring to a woman?" I asked back—the kind who is extremely jealous when a rival in love meets?Speaking of which, although Glorfindel is well-known—his frivolous attitude is almost well-known to everyone—Haldir, it seems that apart from unreliable rumors related to me, there are no other scandals... This guy, hasn't he had any beautiful love in so many years?

Elidan was stunned for a moment when he heard what we said, and then laughed loudly: "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible, we have already seen Haldir's extraordinary aesthetics, Glorfindel is not a beauty and cannot be seen Yes, so it's absolutely impossible."

"..." Why do I feel that his words seem to have attacked me somewhere? Is it my illusion?

"It's useless to guess the reason like this, let's think about the countermeasures." Elidan didn't delve into it further.

"Why is it impossible? I think what Odelia said makes sense. For example, Glorfindel fell in love with Haldir's childhood sweetheart's first love, so in order to win the beauty from Haldir..." I was talking about it in a high-spirited way, but I suddenly noticed the strange eyes of the two elves looking at me, so I changed my words a little embarrassingly, "Let's discuss the countermeasures."

……

"The night in Rivendell is so comfortable..." I enjoyed the cool night breeze, sighed and lay down on the stone railing of the balcony, looking at the scenery below.

After listening to the discussion between Odelia and Elidan for a long time, I almost fell asleep--a problem that even the wise King Elrond can't solve, I think we don't need to waste that brain cell at all.What's more, the two of them are not mine—although I should be grateful to Haldir from some perspectives—but I may have overreacted to my performance during the day.And if you think about it carefully, isn't it just a fight? It's not worth making a fuss about. Although the targets are Glorfindel and Haldir, it is indeed surprising, but isn't that how friendships between men are formed?In short, I thought about it, and it doesn't matter why, it's okay to let them go.

Turning his eyes, he suddenly found a familiar figure—huh?Are you still practicing swords at this time?

On the bank of a clear spring, Haldir was waving the saber in his hand casually. The moonlight shone on his blond hair that flew up from time to time, emitting a soft and beautiful light.

Watching him silently like this, a smile can’t help but appear on the corner of my mouth—don’t listen to his venomous words, just look at his figure, it’s really as beautiful as a painting—if he can smile gently at me one day, If you ask me to drink tea with Sauron, I will do it too.

Watching him repeat those sword swinging movements over and over again, until I saw my eyelids start to fight, I stood up reluctantly, rubbed my eyes and walked towards the room.

……

In the darkness, the man's voice came...

Come to see me……

Find me and you'll understand it all...

Follow your heart and it will lead you to...

……

I opened my eyes again and stared at the ceiling for a long while——I had another strange dream... That man, the man who called himself Mai Rong, actually asked me to find him?I don't want to live a long life, so why throw myself into the trap, who knows what kind of conspiracy he has behind him, will there be thousands of orcs hiding behind, sharpening their knives and waiting to eat me?

oh!I see!Sauron must have seen that physical methods can't kill me, so he wanted to use psychological warfare to shake me by affecting my sleep quality, haha, it's a pity that I saw through all of this!As far as this little trick is concerned, it has absolutely no effect on me.After I figured it out, I immediately regained my joyful mood and got up quickly, ready to start my daily morning chores - cleaning the gate of Rivendell.

……

"You really have spirit."

"Glorfindel?" I turned around and looked at the blond elf's arrival in a strange way, "Why are you here? Aren't you going to have a duel? Can you not practice your hand?"

"Have you heard? Do you want to stop me?" Glorfindel looked at me with a smile on his lips.

"If I stop, will you give up?"

Glorfindel blinked, smiled and did not answer.

"So, I don't need to spend that effort." I turned back and continued with the work in hand.

"Aren't you worried, will Haldir get hurt?"

"I have faith in him." And that's right, the scars—the badges of manhood.

"..."

After not hearing Glorfindel's answer for a long time, I turned to look at him again and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I'm just envious of Haldir suddenly."

"Envy him?"——Finally, the man who eats dry food has finally become enlightened and wants to fight for life?It seems that he is still a plastic talent!

"Don't envy him, your destiny is in your own hands! With your aptitude, as long as you work hard, you can definitely achieve gratifying results. I am very optimistic about you!" I am still looking forward to seeing a hard-working and positive Glorfindel.

Glorfindel chuckled and asked, "Are you human beings so full of energy? You are, and so is Estelle's child. Looking at you, it seems that I can regain the enthusiasm of my youth..."

My intuition tells me that Glorfindel is different today.

"Aren't you worried about the unknown ahead, about the shortness of life..."

Today's Glorfindel is indeed very strange. I bowed my head and thought for a while before replying: "...Glorfindel, I have a friend who has a saying I like very much. He said: life is precious because it is limited; Life is limited, so we must make unremitting efforts. Perhaps, this brevity for you elves is the source of our vitality."

——Ah, Hattori Heiji, you really said something very philosophical.I sighed in my heart.If it is this sentence, I think I can quote it until next year, no, the year after, no, until these elves go west...

Glorfindel was silent for a moment, then suddenly murmured, "Conan, I think I've seen you before."

"...What, what?" I was startled, but then I realized—impossible, whether it was in Gondolin or on the Battle Plains, I don't remember having any face-to-face contact with him—then Immediately started laughing: "You, what are you talking about? Talking in sleep? Glorfindel, you have to figure out that talking in sleep should be said when you are sleeping, not when you are awake, although sleep talking is when you are awake. You can say it, but it’s better not to say it when you’re not sleeping, because you’re not sleeping when you’re awake, so..." When it came to the end, even I didn’t know what I was talking about.

Glorfindel ignored my nonsense, he just lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, there was more firmness in his eyes that I couldn't understand.Then, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my arm and said, "I want to show you something, come with me."

Before I could react, I was dragged back by him——

etc!In case Lindir comes to check later, then I...

Alright brother, I can go with you, but please don’t use your hand so hard, my arm hurts so much...

……

"It turns out that there is a place with more dust than Lord Elrond's library. It's really an eye-opener." The corner of my mouth twitched as I watched Glorfindel rummaging through the dusty warehouse.

"How long have these things been kept here?"——This soil is thick, it must be thousands of years...

"I guess I haven't been passive since I was moved here." Glorfindel replied without turning his head.

"What are these?" I looked around at all kinds of sundries and boxes.

"They are all old things of Gondolin, neither of practical value nor practical, so they are all piled up here."

"An old thing of Gondolin..."

……

"found it!"

Glorfindel quickly got up and walked towards me, holding a small wooden box in his hand.

I looked at the hand he handed me the wooden box, then at his firm face, hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take it.

I looked at my hand, and it was a very simple and elegant wooden box. Perhaps because it had been stored in the box for a long time, the color of the surface of the box had darkened. Except for the center, only the four sides were engraved with some fine patterns on the entire surface of the box.

"Moonlight grass..." I murmured stroking the pattern in the center.

"open to take a look."

I took a look at Glorfindel, settled my mind, and unbuckled the metal buckle on the side, opened the wooden box, and then a soft music sounded——

music Box?

……

this song...

Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat is a piece that should only be known to me in this world...

And I, only played that night...

Why……

This music box, is it...

I raised my head and looked at Glorfindel in shock, Glorfindel looked at me and said slowly: "The leader of the Yongquan family asked the famous craftsman Enethil to build this before the fall of Gondolin. In the mezzanine, there is his message left."

My heart suddenly flustered, and I went to open the interlayer of the box with trembling hands. There was a thin wooden stick inside, and there was only one sentence written in Gondolin's special Elvish language on it. I stared at the beginning " Conan" at the beginning, I couldn't take my eyes off for a long time.

"Glorfindel," I said in a low voice after a long time, "What does this sentence mean?"

"'Conan, may you find happiness.'"

"..."

Exilion, I don't know anything...

I always thought that I was just an insignificant existence to you...

The only reason you will allow me to remain in Gondolin is Ellios.

But why...

Why build this music box for me...

Why did I find out after I lost you forever that you are not as cold and ruthless as you appear...

...Why, you didn't tell me anything?

……

Suddenly, I felt that the air in the room was so oppressive that I couldn't breathe. I put the music box in my hand back to Glorfindel in a panic, turned around and ran out as if fleeing.

I lowered my head and ran forward aimlessly until I bumped into someone and was stopped.

"... Conan?" A voice I was very familiar with sounded.

"..." I slowly raised my head and looked at Haldir in front of me.

He was obviously taken aback when he saw my face, then he raised his hand as if wanting to touch it and asked, "Why are your eyes red?"

I didn't answer, but reached out and grabbed his arm like a life-saving straw, and slammed into his arms.Without giving him a chance to push me away, I grabbed his arm tightly, buried my face in his chest and said intermittently: "Don't look at me...please, don't look at my face just yet...I promise, I will It will be fine soon, and it will return to its normal appearance immediately, so please..."

"..."

Then, I felt a warm hand caressing the back of my head, so soft that I wanted to cry.

So, I couldn't help crying anymore.

……

……

"...What happened?" After a long time, Haldir asked softly, asking me who had gradually stopped crying.

I slowly let go of the hand that was holding him tightly, looked up at him, desperately trying to hold back the tears that were still falling down my cheeks, and tried to raise the corners of my mouth, but my voice couldn't hide my sobs: "...that room, The dirt is so big that I can't even breathe..."

……

......

(The following is my translated version of the lyrics:)

once stood still time

will continue to operate

All that's left are the unforgettable things

this time tomorrow

i will cry

miss you who loved you deeply

you will always be in my heart

There will always be a place for you

I hope there's a place for me in your heart

Forever you are the only one that cannot be replaced

Still singing sad love songs

Until I can sing a new love song

you will always be my love

Even if I fall in love with someone in the future

i will remember to love

that's what you taught me

you will always be my one and only

still singing sad love songs

Forever

......
