Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#157 - Legolas Greenleaf

"You'll ruin this forest doing that."

Looking at the spider web in front of him, which was burning away quickly, the wisps of sparks lingering on the branches of the trees, and the smoky smell rapidly spreading in the air, Alwen stood next to Liang Yue with a frown.

"How could it be? Have you ever seen a forest that doesn't get struck by lightning a few times a year? Fires are common, but the forests are still fine."

Liang Yue said a little guiltily upon hearing this.

"But it's not thunderstorm weather now, and the fire will spread quickly along those spider webs. There won't be time to control it then."

As Alwen spoke, she walked to a large tree in front of her, the bark of which had been blackened by the previous blaze, and gently tapped the bark.

Liang Yue quickly searched around for a while, and then pointed to a sapling not far away, which he had finally managed to find, and forcibly explained.

"That's right~! But that's not your reason for setting fire in the dark forest!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from a tree trunk diagonally above.

The voice traveled from far to near, and when the last word landed, a figure suddenly swung in the air in a parabolic arc, and then landed lightly on the ground.

This was a male elf with a golden slicked-back hairstyle, very handsome and very tender.

His appearance immediately aroused the vigilance of the surrounding dwarves, who picked up their weapons one after another.

But immediately afterwards, a group of twenty or so elves surrounded them, drawing their bows and aiming their arrows at the dwarves not far away.

Seeing this, Liang Yue immediately pressed his palm down towards Thorin and the others, signaling them not to resist for the time being. He himself looked at the golden-haired slicked-back in front of him.

If Liang Yue guessed correctly, this man should be the Elven Prince of the Dark Forest Kingdom, Legolas Greenleaf.

According to the original plot, the dwarves would indeed meet this person when they encountered the big spiders in the forest, and then be escorted to King Thranduil of the Dark Forest Kingdom.

And in the subsequent plot, this Prince Legolas also took action many times to help the dwarves fight against the orc army, and was a very important figure!

Who knew that when Liang Yue looked at the other party, this pretty boy's eyes were not on him at all.

His eyes were fixed on the peerless Alwen next to him. After a while, he gave the other party an elegant salute with a smile that was not a smile.

"Alwen, when I learned that you were also in this team, I was very surprised and worried. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I feel much better."

"Thank you for your concern, Legolas. I have a good group of teammates who can trust each other even when facing orcs, so I've been doing pretty well along the way."

Alwen also returned a salute to the other party at this time, while subtly reminding the other party that the dwarves were also her teammates.

Sure enough, the Elven Prince immediately understood the meaning of the woman's words, so he immediately turned around and signaled to his people.

"Since they are Princess Alwen's teammates, then let's choose to trust these dwarves."

Afterwards, the elves put down their bows and arrows one after another, but their eyes still contained a strong look of vigilance.

Obviously, the racial entanglement between the two races for many years will not be dispelled by this mere sentence.

Of course, the surrounded dwarves were the same~

After that, when the Elven Prince turned his head back, he began to look at Liang Yue.

"Hello, mysterious knight from an unknown land. Before coming to this forest to clean up those spiders, we received a message from Queen Galadriel.

Although I don't know why Her Majesty the Queen values you so much, but since you have come to our forest elf kingdom, we should treat you well as usual."

"I am honored to be entertained by the Dark Forest Kingdom, but now doesn't seem like a suitable time, because I am about to rush to Lonely Mountain with my teammates, and the time must be before the sun sets today."

Although Liang Yue really wanted to punch this pretty boy in the nose, but so-called reaching out and not hitting a smiling face, and now he is indeed on someone else's territory.

So, he could only deal with the other party hypocritically.

"Since you are going to pass through the land of our forest kingdom, and you have to bring this group of dwarves with you, then you should at least meet with our king and obtain his consent."

The Elven Prince's face suddenly turned stern after hearing his words, and then he said in a businesslike manner.

Hearing this, Liang Yue didn't refute anything this time, but nodded to the other party, agreeing with his statement.

Seeing this, the other party didn't entangle on this issue anymore, turned around and walked to the dwarves, and then looked at Thorin, who was also a prince, with a condescending look.

"Thorin... Oakenshield, although I knew long ago that with the stubbornness of you dwarves, you would come back sooner or later to try to reclaim Durin, but like now.

It's almost made all races get the news, but that's something I didn't expect before."

As he spoke, the Elven Prince suddenly turned his gaze to the Orcrist in Thorin's hand, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Your sword comes from Gondolin, forged by the craftsmanship of the High Elves, and is very fine. It is rare now. How did you get it?"

"Someone gave it to me."

Thorin replied with a look of disdain on his face.

"I never thought that the prince of the dwarves would have a day to become a liar. Such a precious thing, would someone give it to someone else? You are not qualified to hold this sword!"

Legolas's face immediately turned ugly upon hearing this, and he reached out to grab the sword.

"That sword is called Orcrist. I heard that it is quite famous in Middle-earth. Our team found it at the edge of the Eastern Great Forest, in a troll's treasure trove.

After learning that it was an Elven item, Prince Thorin wanted to put it back on the weapon rack, but the Grey Wizard Gandalf picked it up again and put it back in his hand."

Liang Yue walked over from behind at this time. He put his hands behind his back, turned his head sideways from the side to look at the Elven Prince, glanced at his hand that was about to grab the sword, and then continued.

"So, Thorin's words just now are not a lie,"

"...Who else can prove it besides you?"

"When we were in Rivendell, King Elrond once hosted us, and he also helped Thorin identify the sword at the table."

"..."
