[The Silmarillion] Romimus

Chapter 112 Chapter 112

On the whole, things went fairly well.Although the governor of Pelakir is obviously suspicious of the motives of the few of them looking for Romemos, no matter how annoying Romemos is, he is now coming to Middle-earth on behalf of King Númenor. An accident happened to Pelakir, but none of them could have a good fruit to eat. Elrond repeatedly assured him that they would do nothing, so the other party reluctantly agreed. This is still not revealed in Glorfindel. case.

However, when Elrond came to the theater in person and saw a few simple posters placed on both sides of the door for publicity, he instantly understood why Governor Pelakir thought he was going to find Romimos Master Xing accused him of guilt.

The painting is actually very abstract, you can't tell who is who at all, you can only recognize a general character based on the clothes.The main event this time seems to be a typical heroic adventure theme. A group of men are fully armed and look resolute. The only woman who can occupy a place in the poster is Romimus, and the character played by her wears a forehead crown. With fluttering long hair, she seems to be a character like an elf princess.

That's right, Romemus played Lucien.

"Be calm," said Celebrimbor.

"I am calm," Elrond answered him, and he seemed to be. "Even if my heart is heavy, it is not because of Romimoth. It is only the Númenoreans . . . alas, they seem really determined to Abandoning their ancestry and history."

No matter how vehemently the Númenoreans now disown the Elves, their long kinship with the Elves remains a fact, but it now appears that they have no respect even for their own ancestors .

"Although I wouldn't be surprised if things got this bad. After all, we all know how the current king came to the throne. There is probably nothing that can make him feel awed by someone like Farathon." Celebrimbor said, "But if it's a good thing, at least the history of the Elves is a matter of open discourse in Númenor."

"Oh, I don't hope that what I'm allowed to see here is the real history." Elrond smiled wryly, and pointed to another person in the painting, "Look at this Sauron."

Celebrimbor was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't noticed the small words beside the person Elrond pointed to just now, and at first glance he thought he was a decent person, because judging only from the person represented in the painting, , this Sauron looks quite noble and handsome, not at all the typical image of the Dark Lord in the past, but more like Anata.

If this play is really "The Death of Holly County", that's all...

"Since Lucian and Sauron appeared at the same time," Glorfindel recalled, "it should be the period of history when Lucian defeated Sauron on the Isle of Demon Wolf."

"Yes, I saw 'Finrod', and here is 'Beren'." Celebrimbor looked up, down, left, and right again, "but why is there no Juan?"

"Based on Sauron's current momentum in making waves in Númenor, do you really expect to be able to repeat on stage the incident where he was almost killed by a dog?" Elrond sighed and shook his head, "Since this happened Drama can be staged, and the story must be very different from the truth."

"We won't be able to figure out what they're doing just by looking at a few paintings here." Glorfindel lowered his voice, "And we've been standing here all this time, it's too eye-catching, let's go in first and then talk."

Now it is the theater's lunch break, there is no performance arrangement, and the stage and auditorium occupying the main part of the theater are empty. The room is very special and not adjacent to everyone, it is a separate room.

Vespa—with Romimos's face on her face—thought someone was coming to help her change her clothes and make up when she heard the knock on the door. Although she thought it was a bit early, she didn't think much about it. After saying "Come in", he stood up from his chair and turned around.

"Romi!" Celebrimbor pushed the door open with a smile on his face, "Look who's here?"

Vespa's brain froze.

She didn't know these three people at all, and she never heard Romimos mention that she had any friends who would come to cheer her on, let alone elf friends. Aren't elves and Romi not old enemies who hate each other?

"Hmm..." Vespa was hesitant to explain directly. Although she had some affection for elves emotionally, and these elves didn't seem to be looking for trouble, she often replaced Romimos' appearance. It is still a secret to most people, even in the Arlando Theater, only a few strict-mouthed people such as Ocanom know, and Vespa is not sure whether he should trust these people in front of him.

But her hesitation was misunderstood by Celebrimbor for her failure to recognize him, though it was a little strange indeed, for Romimos should not be blind to illusions cast by her own power, but Celebrimbor At this time, it was only Romimos who was too surprised to be negligent.

"It's me." He said, but Romemus still looked stunned, so he showed the ring that Romemus lent him at the beginning, "You will never recognize this Come out?"

Vespa's already stuck mind couldn't move anymore.

ring?What does it mean?Why should Roman fans recognize this ring?Could it be that this ring was given to this elf by Romimos?Why did Luo Mi give a ring to an elf?Did the elf still accept it and put it on?Is she thinking crookedly?

"Uh, cough!" Vesper cleared his throat to hide his guilty conscience, and forced himself to calm down, "It's not that I didn't recognize it, it's because I was too far away and didn't see it clearly."

Elrond frowned, obviously aware that something was wrong: "Even if you can't recognize the ring you forged yourself, it's not even Glorfindel who doesn't remember it, right?"

Vespa was stunned.Where is this?The relationship with this elf has not yet been clarified, and there is another one who seems to have a lot to do with Romimos.Wait, the name Glorfindel sounds familiar. I seem to have seen it in some book before. It seems to be Gondolin's... Gondolin's...

Just when Vespa's face turned pale and blue, a series of footsteps and voices came from far and near.

"Ellie lost her wig again, so she can only use her real hair for the next performance. The braids are quite complicated to braid." This is Naquili's voice.

"Small matter, let her come to me 5 minutes before the game."

Celebrimbor and the others heard the sound and looked out the door at the same time. Celebrimbor looked back at Vesper again, his expression seemed to be enlightened.

"There are also those wooden masks. The weather has become moldy these days because of the humidity. All of them have to be redone and repainted. The props team is short of manpower. Can you..." This is Okanomu.

"Well, Vespa said that there is a part of her skirt that is too tight. I will help her after changing her clothes." After a few words, the speaker has come to the door and directly opened the door and walked in. The one with blond hair and a silver gown and a handsome face...beautiful man?

"Wes... huh?" Romimos froze for a moment, his eyes swept across Glorfindel, Celebrimbor in turn, and when he saw Elrond at last, he raised his eyebrows, "Long time no see, Elrond Randyll's son. Even you?"

Vespa gasped.The son of Elendil, the Great Hope?Is that the brother of the founding emperor of the Numenor Empire?Did she win the lottery by meeting these people today? !

Since two of these three elves are big names with famous names, the third person with them must not be a mediocre person. Vespa looked at Celebrimbor curiously, hoping to learn from Luo Mi. Moss or other people heard his name, but unfortunately Romemos did not intend to introduce her, not only that, but also issued an order to evict her.

"Excuse me, Vespa, can you let me catch up with old friends?"

"Oh? Ah, of course. It should be." Vespa came back to his senses, immediately put on a smiling face with interest, and deliberately closed the door when he went out.

"So what are you here for?" As soon as Vesper left, Romemos returned to his original form, his eyes widened. "Didn't I say that we should not have any contact anymore? If Sauron is here What about it?" She looked at Elrond with reproachful eyes again—as if deliberately ignoring Glorfindel, "Aren't you and Gilgalad stopping him?"

"Of course I came here because I was sure that Sauron would not come this time. I have a sense of propriety. You don't have to be so nervous, right?" Celebrimbor was so fierce that she threw her back.

"Oh, of course I'm nervous." Romemos said with a straight face, "It's fine if you risk your life, I don't want to be dragged into the water by you."

Celebrimbor let out a soft breath.

"Your speech hasn't changed at all," he said, as if complaining, but also with genuine joy and relief.

"Don't be nostalgic for me. It's useless to play the emotional card." Romemos didn't take this at all. "Seriously, when are you going back to Linton?"

"Oh my God, are you serious?" Celebrity laughed, "We haven't seen each other for 500 years, and we can't even send out a letter. Now it's only been five minutes since we met again. You Are you going to drive people away? Not to mention anything else, the three of us worked hard all the way from Linton, and you didn’t even say hello to some of them.”

Romimos knew what he was alluding to, and after a few seconds of silence, he turned to Glorfindel stiffly, and reluctantly nodded at him as a greeting: "You are here too."

"It seems that I shouldn't come, so as not to disturb your good interest." Glorfindel also looked indifferent, and then turned and left without saying a word.

Elrond and Celebrimbor didn't expect this kind of development, and they were all stunned for a while. After more than ten seconds, Elrond reacted first, and turned towards Celebrimbor. He nodded his head as a signal, and hurriedly chased him out.

It was the first time for Celebrimbor to witness the battle where Glorfindel and Romimos met at the same time, and she was stunned as she never expected that the two would quarrel in just two sentences.When Elrond was gone, he turned around and asked Romemus in disbelief, "Why did you do that?"

"What's the matter with me?" Romemos avoided his gaze, took out a cup from the cabinet and poured water for him, "I don't have time to make tea, so you can make do with it."

"You know what I mean, Romi." Celebrimbor took the water, but didn't drink it.He was always nice and friendly in front of Romemus, but now his face became serious, "Don't play dumb."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Romemos asked back.

"I didn't think about it. Can't you just say hello normally?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Romemos curled his lips, "What is my relationship with him? What is his attitude towards me? This is something everyone knows well. Even if I am willing to be warmer to him, he will not Show me some good looks, so I don't want to humiliate myself."

"That's something that can't be helped. It was indeed you who went too far before."

"Then it's over?" Romimos pulled his face, "Since I'm an enemy, what's wrong with my attitude?"

"If you really don't care about treating Glorfindel as an enemy, I won't say anything, and I won't even let you meet." Celebrimbor said, "But it's not that you don't care about him at all, then If you are always like this, it will only make the two of you go further and further apart."

"So what? Maybe this suits his heart." Romimos was extremely stubborn, "I know you are thinking of me, Telpe. But if you look at it from Glorfindel's point of view, Would you be willing to make up with someone who cheated on you, even though we used to have a good relationship?"

"I can."

"Don't lie." Romimos sneered disapprovingly, "Then why don't you go to Sauron to make up?"

"Because I've said it a long time ago, I believe you are different from Sauron." Celebrimbor said, "Glorfindel must have felt this way, otherwise he should have given up on you long ago."

"Abandon me? What do you mean? If you mean abandoning the feelings we may have had, he gave up when he realized that I was not the poor little girl who needed his sympathy so much that he had nowhere to sway it. All he insisted on was taking me back to Aman Island, and I forced him to give up even this." Romemos closed his mouth, fell silent for a while, and lowered his head in frustration, "Even if he didn't give up before, ten I must have given up years ago."

"Ten years ago?" Celebrimbor was stunned for a moment, and then recalled, "Yes, Glorfindel did look for you ten years ago. Originally, he wanted to take you back to Linton, but in the end he He came back alone and didn't tell us what happened. So what happened then?"

"Just...you know, after my illusion was shattered by that bastard Sauron, the Land of Dusk was attacked and slaughtered by Númenor." Romimos sighed long, his eyebrows lowered, "At that time, I was full of thoughts of revenge against the Númenorans. Of course, it was impossible to agree to Glorfindel's request to take me away. He told me that there was still hope, but I refused him and asked him to come less in the future. Mind my business."

"But he came with me this time," said Celebrity. "I believe Glorfindel when he said 'there is still hope,' but only Robinson's own choice will determine whether this hope will continue to burn or not." Extinguished forever."

"He never gave me another choice," grumbled Romemos. "Unless I plead guilty to Vera and stand trial, it's all meaningless."

"He's right, that's the bottom line."

Romemos narrowed his eyes vigilantly: "You want me to go back to Aman too?"

"I support you to do this, but I can't force you." Celebrimbor shrugged, "I know you long for freedom, and you also have the confidence to get away from all elves and humans to obtain this freedom, but Glorfindel and You are different, maybe this is not completely fair, but in this matter you can only make concessions, give up some of your freedom to accept his rules, there is no room for negotiation. Of course I understand your hesitation, but I really hope You can think carefully about your true thoughts."

"Let's talk about this after my grievances with Farathon and Sauron are settled." Romimos pretended to drink water and bypassed the topic.

"It's getting late, I have a performance in the afternoon. How long are you going to stay in Perakir?"

"It won't be long. I guess I'll be back in Linton early tomorrow morning," Celebrimbor replied.

"It's a pity." Romimos's eyes showed real regret, "The only time I want to talk is tonight, and I can have dinner together after my performance."

"Okay," Celebrimbor agreed readily, "I'll call Glorfindel and Elrond too."

"If the two of them are willing to come, I have no objection." Romimos lowered his head, as if carelessly playing with his braids, "Don't force yourself to come if you don't want to."

Romemus always only listened to half of what she said. Celebrity pretended not to hear what she said, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something just now. I thought you were going to act. Lucian, but with your outfit just now, you can't be playing Sauron, right?"

"Ah? Did you see the painting at the entrance of the theater?" Romemos smiled awkwardly, "Well, the role must be played by someone, right?"

"That's what you say..." Celebrimbor's mood was still a bit complicated, "But did you really make the history of Sauron's disastrous defeat into a drama and put it on the stage?"

"How is it possible?" Romimos rolled his eyes, "Although it is not to the point of telling the black about the white, history is basically that period of history, but the selected fragments are still quite deceptive. The plot is roughly It is about the elf king Elu Thingol who wanted to separate his daughter from the human Beren, so he asked Beren to steal the Silmaril of Morgoth..."

"'The Silmarillion of Morgoth,'" repeated Celebrimbor impassively.

"Cough..." Romimos touched his nose guiltily, "Then Beren went to ask Finrod, the king of Nargothrond, for help, and because Finrod was saved by human beings, he couldn't help it." Don’t agree to help... Of course I know that’s not the case, don’t clenched your fists so tightly! Then, Beren and Finrod and his party came to the land ruled by Sauron at that time in order to steal, no, to get back the Silmaril. On the island of the wolf, Sauron saw through their disguise. Sauron and Finrod fought against each other with singing, but in the end Finrod still lost to Sauron and was brutally killed. Sauron won, and then... The show is over."

"Then Beren and Lucian..."

"I played for about 10 minutes at the beginning to explain the background of the story. The protagonists of this play are Sauron and Finrod."

"It's not that I don't want to cheer you on, Luo Mi." Celebrity said foully, "but I'm so glad I didn't get a ticket."

"I understand, otherwise I would definitely invite you to come to the show this afternoon." Romimos patted him on the back reassuringly, "But in Numenor's current situation, that's the only way to go."

Celebrimbor gave a long, helpless sigh.

"Then I'll see you later." Romimos thought for a while, "About four o'clock, you can still come here to find me."

However, when Romemos came here after the performance in the afternoon and asked Ocanom for leave, she found that Glorfindel was the only one waiting for her in the room.

The huge cramped feeling instantly enveloped her, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

Glorfindel's complexion has softened a lot since they broke up at noon. I don't know what Elrond said to him, although he still can't use words such as ease and joy to describe the feeling around him, But at least it's not on the brink of a sword, as if a fight will start in the next second.He even took the initiative to look into Romimos' eyes, and didn't immediately turn his head to avoid it.

This gave Romemos a little confidence, allowing her to ask as calmly as possible: "Where did Elrond and Telpe go?"

"The bathroom." Glorfindel said briefly, and added after a pause, "I've been there for a while, and I should be back soon."

Luo Mimos nodded dumbly, and did not speak again.

The two waited silently for a long time before the door of the lounge was finally opened. Before Romemos could heave a sigh of relief, Vespa poked his head in first.

"Luo Mi, your friend and Lord Elrond asked me to send you a message." She said, "It is said that the mayor of Pelakire suddenly has something to talk to them about, so they will take a step first and wait a while." You probably won't be able to come here, let me apologize to you on their behalf. Oh, and, the two of them on Mayor Pelakir's side can handle it, and Lord Glorfindel doesn't have to go. Well, that should be all .”

Before Romemos could react, Vesper gestured "Come on!" to her, and then disappeared like the wind, leaving the two people in the room caught off guard looking at each other.

The relaxed atmosphere suddenly became indescribable again.
