The next morning, just as the sun was rising, Legolas couldn't wait to pack his things and prepare to go, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart.After all, Anila really drank a lot yesterday. Although she looked quite sober when we parted, who knows if she is the kind of person who is slow to respond to alcohol?

When he went outside, he saw Anila leading two horses, waiting for him outside.

"Good morning, Legolas." Anila greeted him energetically, "Shall we go now?"

"Yes." Legolas agreed, "Good morning."

Both of them tacitly kept silent about the "accident" last night.

It was already mid-March when the two of them crossed the entire Palenno Plain and arrived at the foot of the Misty Mountains.Looking back, the Palenno Plain is a piece of verdant green, wild flowers of various colors are splashing in full bloom, the breeze is blowing, the water is gurgling, and everything is revived.

Legolas looked at the dark and dense forest in the far east and the snow-capped male mountains in the distance, took a deep breath of the morning air, and felt an indescribable joy.

Although it was just a whim to ask Anila to take him to find the Númenor brothers and sisters, but looking back on the past few months, Legolas had to admit that he might never find Bianila again. There are more guides with more qualified and lit skills. Whether it is pathfinding and tracking, or hunting and distinguishing various plants, Anila is a good hand. In addition, Anila's cooking level is also first-level Great.The dry and hard dry food they brought out from River Valley City was coated with honey from Beorn by Anila, and then roasted over fire. The delicious food couldn't stop.

"Huh? I'm still far behind." Anila was sitting by the river fishing with a homemade fishing rod, with a piece of grass in her mouth, speaking vaguely, "There are many powerful seniors in the tribe. I There's still something to learn."

In fact, if Legolas used to be impatient and couldn't tolerate any delay, how could Anila sit here peacefully and fish now.When they first set off from River Valley City, Legolas dragged Anila almost non-stop for a week without saying a word, except for the basic rest time.

A week later, Anila finally stopped seeing Legolas as a prince. Whose prince can endure hardships and endure hardships, eating only dry bread for three meals a day without complaining?At the same time, Anila also officially launched a strike against Legolas, she had enough of eating dry bread!She wants meat!

It’s not that Anila is pampered. If she’s on a quick march or has nothing else to eat, then she’ll definitely have something to eat, but when there’s nothing urgent, a rabbit happens to swagger past you at mealtime. Jumping in front of my eyes, can this be tolerated?

Under Anila's soft and hard paving, Legolas finally gave in.

Anila was overjoyed: "Then just wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"No, I'll go." Legolas said without any room for negotiation, "Stay where you are and don't run around."

Although the half-orcs were defeated by the coalition of elves, humans, and dwarves in the Battle of the Five Armies, some remaining orcs escaped from Mirkwood. Besides, in this turbulent age, apart from half-orcs, there are still people in the wilderness. Many other monsters do.

Legolas had never seen Anila kill the enemy at the Battle of the Five Armies. The only thing he could remember was the horrible appearance of her covered in blood after the war. Subconsciously, he still felt that Anila needed him protected.

"You wandering ranger, why are you so picky?" Legolas stood leaning against a tree, watching Anila deftly pluck the unlucky pheasant he caught just now, and then opened it. Broken belly, sighed.

If you had been raised like a rabbit in Rivendell for 18 years, to see if you would have sex with each other, Anila secretly cursed and lit the firewood that she had just set up. "Isn't it good to save some food? After all, we're still on the plains, and hunting is easier. When we enter the Misty Mountains, there will only be a pile of stones and grass roots waiting for us."

"Don't tell me, I almost forgot to ask, isn't our current direction a bit south?" Legolas asked, "We should be heading due west, so that we can just pass Rivendell."

"No." Anila sharpened the branch and put the prepared chicken on a skewer, "That road will pass through the Goblin Kingdom, we'd better go around it. Although the leader of the Goblin has been killed by Gandalf, But just the two of us, it’s best to be cautious.”

In fact, that is not the point, the point is that if she takes Legolas to Rivendell, won't she be exposed?

Legolas thought about it too. If he was alone, he would be very interested in breaking into the Goblin Kingdom, but now he is still carrying a bottle of oil, so forget it. "Did you go in there when you came?" he asked.

"Well, that experience was quite thrilling..." Anila rolled the chicken, and began to vividly describe her and Thorin's adventures in the goblin cave.I have to say that Anila's storytelling is still very good. Although the literary talent is average, it is better than the vivid and humorous language, "...In an instant, all the lights in the cave disappeared, and in the darkness, Gandalf's walking stick A very bright light suddenly appeared at the top. To be honest, I was almost blinded at that time, and there was nothing in front of my eyes for a long time. Gandalf’s move really killed a thousand enemies and harmed himself. If it weren’t for —Oh, Legolas, do you prefer something salty or sweet?"

"Whatever." Legolas was delighted to hear it, and he didn't care about the taste of roast chicken, "And then?"

Anila sighed: "If it weren't for my firm belief to support me, I would definitely not be able to resist reaching out and rubbing my eyes."

"That's it?" Legolas didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Rub it if you want, what does it have to do with whether you are firm or not?"

"Well, you don't know, at that time Sorin might not agree to my going to the Lonely Mountain with them, so I must show a very reliable look," Anila handed a roasted chicken leg to Legolas, "Think, Thorin and the others were all trapped at that time, unable to move. At the very moment, Gandalf and I suddenly appeared, one holding a staff and the other holding a sword, standing there majesticly, and Is there the same effect as covering your eyes and crying desperately?"

Legolas couldn't stop being amused by Anila's funny tone and expression, but he's used to having a cold face, and now he just curled the corners of his mouth when he smiled, very reserved, And in order to hide his smile, he tore off the chicken after it cooled down a bit, and ate it in small bites.

This gentle way of eating made Anila, who was about to gulp down her mouth, embarrassed to continue eating, and put down the chicken legs that had reached her mouth, Anila smiled sarcastically: "How does it taste?"

Legolas blinked, took a few more mouthfuls, and nodded: "Not bad."

His "not bad", that is "pretty good", Anila smiled and began to take small bites.

"Seriously, how did you make it?" Legolas finished eating a chicken leg, but did not refuse the chicken wing that Anila handed over again, "We also often hold banquets, barbecues, drinking and so on , but those are not as delicious as yours."

Anila mentioned the names of several seasonings, Legolas blinked and admitted frankly: "I've never heard of it."

"They're all southern spices. It's only natural that you don't know about them." Anila took the opportunity to say, "It doesn't matter. If you like to eat them, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

So, after Legolas made the first concession to Anila, there was the second and third time...

It wasn't until they slowed down, however, that Legolas really began to enjoy the trip.

He has seen more beautiful scenery in these three months than he has seen in the past 3000 years.Thinking about it, I am surprised. For so many days and nights in the past, the days when he left the dark forest were few and far between. A trip to Dale, not even Laketown much since Smaug took the Lonely Mountain, and the farthest he's ever been is... oh yes, Gundaba, ancient Angmar Kingdom, not to mention the land where not a single blade of grass grows, is lifeless.

But now, he rides a horse and gallops on the open and beautiful Paliano Plain every day, with the bright sunshine or starry sky above his head, the endless green field and the cheerfully running stream under his feet, and there is a knowledgeable man beside him. Broad, witty and humorous friends accompany him all the way.

"Formidable seniors, like Iluli and Skywalker?" Legolas looked longingly, "I can't wait to get to know them."

Anila choked on her own saliva and spat out the grass in her mouth.

"Actually, you don't have to expect that much, and you will feel disappointed when the time comes." She said tactfully, "Besides, Shenxingke and Iluli are not seniors, they are actually quite young."

Legolas gave her a sideways glance: "Tell me about this when you have gained a reputation like Iluli's."

"I don't want that kind of reputation." Anila laughed, "No one in Iriad regards Iluli and Strider as heroes. When I saw their figures, I guess most people secretly Curse, 'God, how did these two broom stars come to us?!' Ah, from this point of view, they are indeed great, and the treatment of Gandalf the Gray Robe Wise is nothing more than that .”

"Do you have any problems with them? They are usually fine, why do you sneer at them when you talk about them?" Legolas shook his head.

Anila rolled her eyes back at him: "Do you have any friendship with them? Why do you defend them in every possible way when you talk about them?"

"That's not true." Legolas was slightly stunned, and then explained, "I just think that whether you are popular or not can't fully measure a person's value, and there is no complaint if you can be understood by everyone. People who stick to their own path without regret, even if I never met them, I would never regret meeting them."

"..." Anila was stunned for a moment, and just about to say something when she came back to her senses, the fishing rod in her hand suddenly shook, "Ah! You're hooked!"

She lifted the fishing rod up sharply, and a fat fish jumped out of the water, drew a perfect parabola, and flew steadily towards Legolas.

"Legolas! Grab it!"

It's a pity that Anila shouted a step late.Legolas saw something flying towards him and caught it reflexively. When he touched the cool and slippery fish body, he shivered and threw it out subconsciously, and then Ani came to his senses. Ra shouted something.

However, it was too late. Seeing that the fish was about to break free from the hook and return to the embrace of the river after such a toss, Anila didn't know what she was thinking at the time, she threw down the fishing rod and flew towards the fish——

Then he fell into the water with a snap.

"Velodyus!" Legolas exclaimed, and hurried over.

"Ah... it hurts." Fortunately, although the water was rushing but not deep, Anila slowly stood up, looked back at Legolas, and proudly showed the big fish in her arms, "clang, clang, clang! I caught dinner!"

Legolas didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Come up quickly."

"Oh." Anila threw the fish ashore fiercely, and walked towards the river bank wet all over. As soon as she reached the river, she was wrapped in an elf cloak.

"Then your cloak will smell fishy."

"Just a cloak," Legolas said helplessly. "I'll go and light the fire."

It's only the beginning of spring now, and although there is a little warmth in the breeze, there is no doubt that you will still get sick if you are soaked like this at night.

The concept of illness was very vague to Legolas before, because elves can't get sick.

Until traveling together with Anila, when chatting with Anila occasionally, Anila inadvertently mentioned that human beings may develop pneumonia due to a cold, or tetanus from a small wound and cause death, not to mention the plague and cholera What……

Only then did Legolas suddenly realize: the person traveling with him now is a fragile human like brittle glass.

Although Anila has never had any minor illness or pain in the past few months, she is in good health and eats well, but in the eyes of Legolas, Anila suddenly became much weaker.

Well, you have to take good care of it.
