Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 66 Allies
"Pig teammates."

Levi slapped his head. After Thorin's scolding, not to mention him, even if Gandalf called ten eagles, they would not be able to control Thranduil's temper.

The elves didn't kill them outright because they still took into consideration the fact that they were all free people.

If you put yourself in his shoes, even Levi himself would not be able to tolerate this. If Gandalf were here, he would definitely curse "stupid Thorin" and then light his pipe to think of a solution.

"Your Majesty, you know that dwarves are not very good at communication..."

"Of course I know." Thranduil didn't want to listen to Levi's advice at this moment, and interrupted directly: "They are so stubborn, like stones, and they were the first to break their oath. What qualifications does he have to say that I didn't help them?"

"Even if I let them go, even if everything goes well, the end result will only be another king falling into madness."

Levi had nothing to say now. To be honest, the things the dwarves did were indeed not justifiable.

It was indeed the dwarves who broke their promise first, causing the feud between the elves and the dwarves.

The culprit behind all this is the greed of the dwarves. If anyone must be blamed, it can only be Sauron. The ring he gave to the dwarves would infinitely deepen their desires to the point of being morbid.

However, during the conversation, in addition to the matter of the dwarves, there was another thing that Levi had been concerned about from the very beginning.

"I just saw some injuries on His Majesty's face."

Thranduil paused, wondering why Levi brought up this matter.

"Well, that was caused by the dragon flame, and it has never healed."

The king's real face was actually very hideous. Half of his face was burned and unrecognizable. Normally, he looked fine, but that was because he covered up the wound with magic.

From Levi's perspective, the king's health has always been insufficient and can never go back to normal.

Levi took out a golden apple, and the king's attention was immediately attracted. As an elf who was quite good at using magic, he was quite sensitive to magic.

"This is…"

"This is a small gift from my personal heart. I hope it can help your Majesty's injury."

"It's very beautiful and valuable, and I can feel the magic and healing power contained in it. But if I want it to heal my wounds, I'm afraid it's a little bit..."

Even among the elves, Thranduil is relatively adept at using magic. In fact, it is not difficult for the elves to use magic to achieve healing effects. Many elves can do it as long as they want to. But even so, the burn on the king's face has not healed for such a long time, which is enough to show the difficulty of treating it.

"Why not give it a try? There's no harm in that, right?"

crunch.

Under Levi's persuasion, Thranduil took the apple that seemed to be made of gold, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a bite.

There is no metallic taste as imagined, only a burst of fragrance and sweetness at the first taste, followed by surging magic and healing power throughout the body.

The illusion on his face disappeared unconsciously, and the hideous face appeared again. Under the effect of the golden apple, the exposed scarlet flesh and blood gradually exuded vitality, colliding with the dragon's breath entrenched on it. The pain and itchiness made Thranduil's face tense.

As if feeling challenged, all the healing power of the golden apple gathered upwards to help the wound regenerate.

This clash of power ultimately ended with the victory of the golden apple. As the remaining dragon breath gradually dissipated, flesh and skin began to grow from its face again.

"It looks like it's working well." Levi said easily, as if it was just a small thing.

"Really... recovered." Thranduil took a few deep breaths and gently stroked his face.

It's been too long since I felt perfect skin.

"Thank you very much, Levi, this burn has been bothering me for a long time."

[Woodland Kingdom Reputation +500]

Current reputation: 1000 (ally). "From now on you are an ally of the Woodland Kingdom. If you need help one day in the future, you can come to seek help."

"When that happens, the Woodland Kingdom will respond."

A covenant was made here.

Less words mean bigger things.

Looking at the reputation Levi knew that the king was serious and was not making random promises.

If the Woodland Kingdom only respected Levi's personal strength and outstanding contributions to the Free Camp before, then they now regard Levi as a true ally and can mobilize a certain amount of troops to support him.

"Thank you, but help is always mutual. If you need anything, I won't be stingy."

Levi replied politely and changed the subject: "I heard that there are gems belonging to elves in the Lonely Mountain."

Thranduil paused, feeling that this human was changing topics too quickly, and always brought up secretive and sensitive topics.

"That is not an ordinary gem. To me, it has some special meaning. I have tried to get it back many times, but each time I came back empty-handed. Now that the Lonely Mountain is occupied by the evil dragon, the hope of getting it back is getting slimmer."

"What if I could bring it back?"

"Then I can give you a promise - the king's promise." said Thranduil.

"About the dwarves."

Thranduil suddenly said, "I know you are my companions in the expedition. I can guarantee their safety, but I will not let them leave until my goal is achieved."

"I understand." Levi nodded, and then said, "However, not all of them think that way. In addition to Thorin, there are others who can talk to them."

"I will seriously consider your words." Thranduil replied.

At this point, it is impossible to just let the dwarves go. The new and old grudges added up cannot be resolved in a short time.

Although Levi could directly dig up the prison, he was not sure what would happen if he did so. But in fact, he didn't have to do it himself, as someone else would do it.

The conversation with the king ended quickly.

After leaving the king's throne, Levi asked the elf for directions and walked in one direction.

"The prison is this way..."

I just asked for directions and was planning to discuss today's events with the dwarves. As I was walking, I suddenly heard a loud noise. Levi followed the sound and found that a group of elves were talking next to the storage room. It was quite lively.

"We are planning a party."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him. Levi turned around and saw Legolas holding a fruit in his hand and greeting him.

Levi also greeted the elf prince.

"banquet?"

"The Starlight Banquet is our tradition and will be held in seven days. If you are interested in participating, we welcome you."

Levi shook his head: "I'm afraid not. I have things to do."

Seven days later, it was the day that Levi and Gandalf agreed to meet in Dol Guldur.

Moreover, even if it was not this time, his companions were all imprisoned after all, so it was somewhat unreasonable for him to go to the banquet at this time.

But soon, these worries were dispelled, and someone came to Levi.

"Bilbo."
