Melody's voice was clear and crisp, with a tinge of sweetness.
Just by listening to her voice, one could feel a kind of sweetness and gentleness.
Yet when she uttered the word 'no', it was as though she was using a sharp weapon to forcefully retract it. Her voice was firm and resolute.
In this instance, the entire audience was silent.
The previous tender and romantic atmosphere had been cleanly swept away by Melody's words.
In the distance, Sheyan was also stunned. His whole body was stiff, and his mind was blank for a moment.
Some people would think that this was the little girl's modesty, but when she agreed in her heart, it was because she was shy with her words.
That was because they didn't understand Melody's gaze. Gentle, calm, firm and unhurried. Where was the slightest bit of shyness?
To put it bluntly, Legolas had such a noble status, such a handsome face, and such a grand and romantic image that he had painstakingly created, yet he did not even have the qualifications to make her shy and reserved!
However, despite suffering an unexpected blow, Legolas, as one of the parties involved, appeared very calm. He did not have much of a reaction. He gracefully stood up and bowed respectfully to Sheyan.
"Can you tell me why?"
Melody smiled faintly and replied.
"Because in the past, when I wasn't a Twilight Elf, when I was so ordinary that even my clansmen didn't care about me, when I was imprisoned with no one to take care of me, my Guardian appeared by my side. She has always been by my side to protect me, love me, and protect me …"
Speaking till here, Melody recalled the past as sparkling and translucent tears uncontrollably flowed down her cheeks. Nevertheless, she continued to proudly narrate in front of all the people of Rivendell! In front of all the envoys of the continent!!
"No matter what danger there was, he would always stand in front of me. Before that, I had never felt that kind of warmth, that kind of true love. No matter if I was an ordinary elf or a twilight elf, he would always treat me the same! From then on, my fate changed. My life will be intertwined with his, just like the towering trees and lush vines in the forest. We will never be separated …. "
Melody's honest narration, mixed with her sad and joyful voice, coupled with the romantic and beautiful lights around her, touched the deepest parts of many people's hearts in an instant! They couldn't help but recall their youth. That naivety, that heartbeat, that longing....
At this moment, Sheyan suddenly felt a sour sensation in his nose.
He took a deep breath, because he felt that if he didn't do so, the tears in his eyes might flow out. He didn't expect that the last time he came here, he didn't expect that the naive elf girl would treat it as an eternity, deeply engraving it in her life!
Such sincerity really made Sheyan feel ashamed of himself!!
But at this moment, the blonde Glorfindel suddenly stood up and indifferently said.
"Since you've rejected Prince Legolas' good intentions, come down. There are still many activities for tonight's ceremony, we must hurry. "
At this moment, Melody abruptly turned around and coldly said:
"Mister Glorfindel, it seems you still don't understand one thing."
At this moment, many people were surprised to find that something strange was happening between Melody and Glorfindel. The space between the two of them suddenly rippled like water, distorting the vision of the people who were looking at it.
Melody slowly raised her left hand. On her fair and slender wrist, a delicate bracelet was emitting a soft glow.
The crowd was in an uproar!!!
At this moment, even a blind man could see that a seemingly peaceful but actually intense conflict had erupted between Melody and Glorfindel. The conflict was so intense that even the space between them was violently fluctuating!
"Every twilight elf has their own principles and dignity!!"
Melody said word by word, "Perhaps there is someone who can change my decision, but that person is definitely not you!"
Her long hair fluttered in the wind and the space around her was distorted. She was obviously under great pressure. At this moment, some even noticed that the Ring of Air on Elrond's finger, Vilya, was glowing with a clear radiance. However, Melody still uttered her next sentence slowly, strenuously, yet clearly.
"I, Melody Sunstrider, hereby swear that I will forever await the return of my protector in Middle-earth. I will never set foot in the Undying Lands. If I violate this oath in any way, it will not be my intention! "
When Melody finished speaking, blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth, like a small red snake hanging at the corner of her mouth. Coupled with her snow-white skin, it was especially dazzling.
Elrond and Glorfindel's expressions turned ugly when they heard her words. The entire hall was in an uproar!
The elves were in an uproar because Melody actually referred to herself as Sunstrider!
One must know, elves love gentle and quiet environments. Playing the harp under the moonlight was their recognized entertainment. It was similar to eating hotpot, singing songs and going to pubs. Moon Goddess Luna was also their religion. None of this had anything to do with the sun.
However, in ancient times, elves also worshipped Sun God Sin'dorei! It was just a rare occurrence.
(PS: Let me explain about Iluvatar. He is actually a god. He was the one who created the elves. His status is similar to the human Nuwa. The Undying Lands were also created by him. Because to the elves, he is still a living being. His status is similar to a leader or parent. Therefore, not many elves believe in him. On the contrary, the Sun God and the Moon Goddess are more popular among the elves. For example, America's President Barack Obama. His status and special status doesn't affect his children's belief in Catholicism.)
The non-elves were in an uproar because they were overjoyed! Because their ultimate goal was to prevent the elves of Rivendell from returning to the Undying Lands. Glorfindel and Elrond were similarly twilight elves. Why did they wait until Melody appeared before returning?
That was because even though they had awakened their powers, they were unable to recall the path to the Undying Lands!
The approximate location of the Undying Place was in the Endless Sea in the east. Moreover, it seemed to be in another dimension. If one wanted to reach the Undying Place, then one had to first sail to a certain coordinate in the sea and then hold a grand ceremony to enter. If one made a mistake, then one would be buried in the sea.
Normally, twilight elves would first awaken their powers. After their powers reached a certain level, they would then slowly recall the path to the Undying Lands. It was similar to cultivation novels, where one had to first cultivate before ascending to the heavens. However, Melody did the opposite. She first knew the path to ascending to the heavens before slowly cultivating. This was probably related to her status as a Sunstrider.
When the other envoys heard Melody swearing not to return, they were overjoyed. [Little brat, your guide is gone. Why are you returning? Just stay on the continent peacefully ….]
At this moment, their intentions were even more sinister. They resolutely refused to mediate and instead, hoped that Glorfindel and Elrond would kill Melody out of anger. That way, all troubles would be resolved once and for all.]
After finishing her words, Melody seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She covered her mouth with her hand as her chest heaved up and down violently. She appeared to be coughing violently. Then, she slowly collapsed onto the plaza like a lonely flower drifting down from the sky.
Elrond's expression was as cold as steel. He stood up and said.
"Our newly awakened twilight elf isn't feeling well. Send her back to rest."
Legolas glanced at Elrond and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Elrond didn't give him the chance. He covered himself with his cloak and left in large strides.
Although the following celebration program was still very exciting, and the ordinary people at the bottom of society were mesmerized by it, for those who had some unspeakable secrets in their hearts, it was completely tasteless for them to think about their own ideas.
Of course, Sheyan wouldn't leave at this moment. He stood in a dark corner, brimming with energy and vigor. His eyes constantly flickered, causing one to involuntarily associate him with the flickering light of a computer's hard drive.
Although Melody appeared so weak and pitiful when she helplessly collapsed onto the ground, Sheyan only felt heartache. He wasn't worried at all.
Because even without her noble status as a twilight elf, Melody still had great value to Glorfindel and Elrond. This ensured that Melody would be safe.
At this moment, Reef frowned and said.
"Boss, I'm afraid Melody is in big trouble."
Sheyan faintly shook his head and replied.
"That won't happen. Do you remember my judgement just now? About whether Melody will appear or not? "
Reef hesitated for a moment and asked.
"You mean? Why did Melody show up when she knew that Prince Legolas had proposed? "
"Yes." Sheyan earnestly replied. "My judgement may be wrong, but I can still decipher a lot of information from it."
Reef pondered for a moment and replied.
"That's right. Melody clearly has no feelings for Legolas. Why would she go on stage? Is it to humiliate Legolas? That's impossible, Melody isn't that kind of person. Her main goal should be to be able to say the words she swore not to go to the Undying Lands! " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
