Reef sighed and used a tone that everyone was familiar with. That's right, it was the tone of the teacher that Sheyan often used to educate Segimli. His tone was earnest and heartfelt.
"My friend, in this world, there is no such thing as hate or love without reason! Look at your appearance. Even if Tibet TV produces low budget idol dramas, they wouldn't cast you as a supporting character! At most, you're not ugly. "
Sheyan took out a mirror and looked at himself. Gazing at the distant face of Prince Legolas, he sighed. Touching his hair, he actually pulled out a few rotten strands of hair. This was a bonus when he carried the goods in.
Instead, Reef continued to mercilessly attack.
"Take a look at your attire."
If Sheyan wanted to disguise himself and sneak in, he couldn't possibly wear a suit and leather shoes. He was currently wearing the clothes of a common porter. Apart from the stench of sweat, the fabric of the clothes had been washed so many times that it had melted. It was dusty, and a single slap would probably cause a cloud of dust to rise out.
What was even more classic was that it was normal for porters to sit on the ground. Furthermore, there were two different colored patches on both sides of the attire. Such an appearance was simply affecting the appearance of Rivendell! Sheyan should really be thankful that Rivendell didn't have any city management personnel.
Sheyan swept a glance at Legolas' high grade silver robe that was said to be sewn from demonic silkworms... this time, he didn't even have the desire to sigh.
Reef then continued.
"Compare your statuses again. He's a prince, what are you?! A famous sailor? "
Sheyan remained silent.
Reef finally sighed and continued.
"Look at how he picks up girls. Cultured and refined, sincere and affectionate. You, on the other hand, can only be described with two words: Swindler. Who knows, maybe Melody's virginity was swindled by you. Therefore..."
In the end, Reef impatiently concluded.
"Let's hurry up and focus on proper matters. We should recruit those contestants and complete the main mission first. We should be down-to-earth! We can get as many elf girls as we want! "
"Hais ~ ~ ~ ~" Sheyan sighed deeply. "Fine, let's finish watching the celebration and get down to business. I reckon there will be some news about the main mission in the celebration. Therefore, let's finish watching. "
Reef doubtfully asked.
"Are you sure? Boss, even if you look at it a hundred more times, it'll still belong to someone else … "
"Scram!"
*****
The elves' Hyacinth Square was quite spacious, and could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people. There was even a small lake in the middle of the square, with water lilies growing in it. On one side of the square was a mountain. The elves used their own ingenious ideas to build the square along the mountain slope. Many pavilions and towers were distributed, so the whole square was divided into three levels from afar. It was very three-dimensional.
The plaza was filled with blooming pink and sky-blue hyacinths. They even emitted a faint glow, illuminating the entire plaza with a charming and romantic atmosphere. It was as warm as a homecoming. If lovers were here to flirt, it would definitely be doubly romantic.
The return of the elves of Rivendell was definitely a major event. This signified that the elves would lose at least a third of their strength at this crucial moment! This was a major event that would shake the balance of power of Middle-earth, and even affect the balance of power of the Dark Lord.
Therefore, many races of Middle-earth had sent representatives here to persuade the elves of Rivendell not to leave. However, due to the transcendent status of the elves, nobody dared to openly question them.
The highest level of the Hyacinth Square was arranged as a stage. Speeches and ceremonies would be held there.
The second level was for the representatives of the other races and those with status.
The third floor was where the merchants and the entourage of the representatives of the other races stayed. It could be said to be a clear distinction, and at the same time, to ensure the safety of important figures.
Elrond stood at the center of the first level of the plaza, and performed an elven salute to everyone. Then, he raised his right hand.
The Ring of Air, Viria, flashed like a star in the horizon. Then, a suffocating radiance descended from the heavens, sweeping across the entirety of Rivendell. As the radiance swept across, everyone felt a stifling reverence, as though their souls were being purified by a great deal of power!
While everyone had yet to recover from their shock, Elrond sighed and announced.
"The Undying Lands beckons me. Every night when I sleep, I will witness its majestic radiance illuminating my soul. The aurora I imitated just now, is completely incomparable to the radiance of the Undying Lands! Therefore, I have decided to leave. Iluvatar is beckoning me to return to its embrace. I cannot reject such a motherly beckoning! For my return, I will spare no expense! "
Elrond used such an opening statement to express his determination to return, and nipped in the bud any attempts of persuasion by the other powers of the continent. Such a domineering and ingenious rejection, undoubtedly possessed the maturity of a politician.
Following that, various dazzling magical fireworks and fireworks were displayed.
This was the most bustling night in Rivendell for hundreds of years. Even from tens of li away, one could see that the sky above was dyed in a raging crimson.
Hyacinth's radiance shone gently, yet even the surrounding shadows exuded a bustling and bustling atmosphere. The cheers of the spectators who had entered the venue were like tidal waves that pushed the atmosphere of the venue to the stage one after another! Sheyan was constantly searching for Melody's figure. He didn't know why he stayed behind until now. Perhaps, he just wanted to catch a glimpse of her from afar, and silently wish her well.
However, Sheyan's wish wasn't fulfilled.
Listening to the intoxicated laughter of the crowd, Sheyan felt a distinct sense of loneliness amidst the surging tide of people. Once he thought of bidding farewell to that frail and lovable figure, his heart throbbed with pain.
All of a sudden, Sheyan sensed the plaza quieting down. The golden-haired Glorfindel walked out and smiled.
"Our Prince Legolas has a few words to say. Can everyone give him the opportunity to do so?"
Indeed, Sheyan had been waiting for this moment to arrive!
Everyone knew that Legolas was going to propose at this moment. Even Segimli, who hadn't entered Rivendell yet, knew about it. As the person involved, Melody couldn't possibly be unaware.
Therefore, if Legolas wanted to propose, he would have to do it in front of her. Therefore, he would definitely invite Melody to the stage.
If Melody wasn't moved by Legolas, then she could use the excuse of not being able to appear. That would be the best and most gentle rejection. But if she were to appear on stage.... oh, basically, she would be waiting to eat wedding candy.
Most of the spectators were aware of this interlude. Thus, they quieted down and watched with faint smiles. The only one who couldn't smile was Sheyan.
At this moment, Prince Legolas had changed into a long white robe. Speckles of stars could be seen on his robe, making him appear exceptionally sacred and otherworldly. Many Elven maidens couldn't help but squeal.
Prince Legolas spoke in a natural and unrestrained manner.
"I have a few very important words that I want to say to a very important person. I wonder if she can fulfill my wish and come to this venue?"
The quiet venue gradually became noisy. Nevertheless, Sheyan's heart sank bit by bit. This was because he saw the figure he had been searching for all this while, slowly walking up to the center of the first level of the plaza.
Under the clear illumination, Prince Legolas appeared tall and handsome. Standing before him was an Elven maiden dressed in splendid attire. Similarly, she was bathed under the splendid illumination. Her pure yet pitiful temperament instantly attracted the gazes of everyone present.
Melody ascended the stage.
At this moment, Sheyan suddenly realized that this elf girl wasn't like what he had imagined. She didn't have any place in his heart, just like water flowing over a rock, seemingly without leaving a trace, but silently and imperceptibly influencing him. In his heart, an unexplainable melancholy and regret suddenly swept across him. "The first time I saw you, I was attracted to you …" It was undeniable that Prince Legolas's words were filled with deep affection, especially when he looked at Melody. The love in his eyes could melt a person's heart. For a moment, Melody couldn't help but let him hold her hand. Then, the prince knelt on one knee and continued his confession. The audience cheered and applauded, obviously feeling that this golden boy and jade maiden were very compatible. Sheyan silently gazed at his own hand, the hand that once held the maiden on stage. He suddenly stood up and spoke to Reef.
"Let's go."
Reef sighed and patted Sheyan's shoulder. He didn't know what to say, knowing that Sheyan must be feeling rather uncomfortable.
Both of them left with their backs facing the plaza. However, under the influence of magic, every single word of Prince Legolas' passionate confession drilled into Sheyan's ears, like needles piercing into his heart.
He hastened his footsteps, but just as he was about to leave the venue, he heard the final confession.
"Can I be your companion, and accompany you forever by your side?"
Sheyan's footsteps paused slightly. His heart didn't hold any hope, but he still hoped for a miracle to happen.
Melody instantly replied after he asked that question. This meant that the answer had already been brewing in her heart for many times. That was why she was so straightforward, to the point of decisiveness and decisiveness!
