legend begins with lord of the rings

Chapter 71: The Woodland Kingdom

"Take them all back to the dungeon to wait for the king's disposal." Legolas commanded the elves and led the dwarves to the woodland kingdom.

"Woo...Woo..."

When Hei Li saw Abel being arrested, he resisted and tried to save him, but was restrained and gagged by the guards. Hei Li and Abel became close friends.

When the two of them passed by the Elf Prince, Legolas glanced at Abel several times, and then patted him gently on the shoulder.

Abel saw the emotion of gloating in the other person's eyes.

"Hi~Bilbo isn't here..."

When everyone was escorted away, Fili, who was walking at the back, looked around and found that the hobbits were not there.

"Hmph~" Thorin snorted dissatisfied, expressing his disdain for the hobbit's performance of running away from battle every time.

Feili saw Thorin's attitude and said no more.

The people were led by the elves and turned around in the forest. Not long after, they arrived at the gate of the Woodland Kingdom.

The style of the entrance here is very similar to that of Rivendell, with a path leading directly to the main entrance, which is equivalent to a pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If Rivendell is a naturally formed canyon, then the Woodland Kingdom hollows out an entire mountain.

At this time, the hobbit was following the team with a magic ring on his finger. He was waiting for an opportunity to rescue the dwarves.

When the dwarves entered the gate, the elf prince walking at the back suddenly looked towards the path behind him.

He seemed to feel someone behind him.

Bilbo was startled by the Elf Prince's actions. However, in order to save the dwarves, he had to enter the woodland kingdom.

So Bilbo held his breath, tiptoed past Legolas, and entered the Woodland Kingdom.

On the Elf Prince's side, he looked at the empty path and found nothing unusual. He shook his head, walked into the door and closed it smoothly.

After walking through the gate, there are suspended stone roads in front of you. At first glance, it looks a bit like the Mines of Moria, but the overall layout is more grand.

Abel discovered that many of the surrounding buildings and decorations were carved directly on the mountain, giving them a sense of uncanny craftsmanship.

"Come in!"

Everyone was taken to the dungeon, and Tariel pushed Abel into a small room and closed the cell door.

"Woo...Woo..."

Abel turned his back and motioned to the other party to untie the rope that tied him behind his back.

Tariel raised a knife, cut the rope around Abel's wrist, and said, "You'd better be honest here and don't try to play tricks."

After his hands were untied, Abel quickly pulled away the cloth in his mouth, and after spitting a few mouthfuls of saliva, he said to the female elf: "I am a friend of the wizard Gandalf... I want to see the king...

…I have something to discuss with him.”

"I will bring your words to the king. Just stay here for now!" Tariel responded, turned around and left.

She needed to inform the king about this incident. After walking around the corner, Legolas stood here waiting for the female elf.

"What did he tell you?"

"nothing."

"A person like him knows how to talk sweet words. Don't be fooled by his words."

"I know...but he is pretty good-looking, much more pleasing to the eye than the dwarf."

"Do you like it?...It looks pretty good indeed."

Even the elf prince couldn't question Abel's appearance. Seeing the smile on the female elf's face when she talked about Abel, Legolas hated Abel even more.

The elf prince and Tauriel came to the kingdom palace together.

There are still no luxurious decorations here. The pillars, steps, tables and chairs are all carved from stone.

Standing beside the stone pillars on both sides of the palace were a dozen Sindar Elf guards.

On the high platform, King Thranduil of the Woodland sat lazily on a huge stone throne.

He wore a simple silver-white robe, with a crown of berries and branches on his head.

At this moment, Thranduil had his eyes closed, his beautiful face remained calm, and he seemed to be taking a nap.

"Father, we captured a dozen dwarves near the kingdom this time, and Thorin was among them." Legolas stepped forward and said to Thranduil.

"Oh..." Thranduil opened his emerald eyes, as if he was somewhat interested in Legolas's words: "It seems that the nearest orcs are chasing the dwarves. Go and take Thorin with you.

Come here, I want to meet this king under the mountain."

"Yes~" Legolas bowed and exited the hall.

Seeing the elf prince leaving, Tauriel quickly said: "There is a human among the dwarves who wants to see you. He said that he is a friend of Gandalf and he has something to discuss with you."

"Gandalf the Grey..." Thranduil recalled for a moment and said, "Since he is Gandalf's friend, go and bring him over."

"yes."

Tariel accepted the order and turned around and walked towards the dungeon.

Over at the cell, Legolas has brought Thorin out: "The king wants to see you."

Thorin glanced at the Elf Prince expressionlessly and said nothing.

Seeing that Thorin was about to be taken to see the Elf King, Balin shouted to Thorin loudly: "Thorin... our goal is to reach the Lonely Mountain before Turin Day. Don't be impulsive."

Thorin's eyes flashed with danger and he ignored Balin.

"Alas~" Balin sighed. He saw Thorin's attitude. The other party still hadn't learned to control his emotions.

"Why do the elves here have such a bad attitude?"

Hei Li and Abel were locked in the same guarding room, and he asked Abel puzzledly. In Hei Li's heart, his understanding of elves still stayed with Rivendell.

"You only need to know that elves are a peace-loving race. Other things cannot be explained for a while." Abel answered the big man.

To be honest, the person who has a feud with the dwarves is Thranduil.

The reason is that Thorin believed that Thranduil, as an ally, did not provide any help to the dwarves when the Lonely Mountain was destroyed by the evil dragon.

Not long after Thorin was taken away, Tauriel also came to Abel's cell: "Come out, the king has agreed to see you."

"Thank you." Abel thanked the female elf. After walking out of the cell door, he turned back to the worried Hei Li and whispered, "Just stay calm for now. I will take you out of here soon."

Under the leadership of the female elf, Abel came to the door of the elf palace.

In the main hall, Thorin and Thranduil stood face to face, and the atmosphere did not look very good. It could be seen from a distance that the conversation between Thranduil and Thorin was not pleasant.

Abel did not choose to walk over now, he stopped at the door with Tauriel.

"You guys are too poor here! Compared with Rivendell, it's far behind." Abel observed the simple and unpretentious layout in the Elf Palace and expressed his thoughts.

"We are not greedy humans, and we do not have that much pursuit of material enjoyment."

Tauriel frowned when she heard Abel's words. She did not think that her home was worse than any other place.
