Chapter 118 Chapter 118
The last few people stayed, mainly because the location is too remote. If you go to find other restaurants from here, you may not be able to eat until three in the afternoon.
For Glorfindel, it doesn't really matter where and what he eats. He doesn't have much in mind to enjoy the food at the moment. He flipped through the menu and quickly ordered his own dishes. Celebrimbor also It was also neat; Celebrian was ordering food in a restaurant opened by humans for the first time, and was eager to try. Elrond whispered to her while explaining a few dishes whose ingredients and methods could not be heard from their names.
After Glorfindel looked around the three of them, he looked at Romimos casually out of the corner of his eye. The other party was still familiar with him, frowning slightly, pouting his mouth, staring at the thin film in his hand. A thin sheet of paper looked as if it were an important business contract written in obscure runes.
No matter how reluctant he was, Glorfindel had to admit in his heart that Romimos looked cute when he was serious, even though she was just looking at a menu intently.
"Haven't decided yet?" Celebrimbor came over and pointed, "This one should suit your taste."
"Well, but I ate this last time I came here, this time I want to try something new." Romemos tilted his head, his eyes did not leave the menu,
"What about this yogurt pumpkin pie?"
"It sounds weird, but I'll listen to you." Romemos said with a smile, "But if it's not delicious, you have to help me finish it together."
Celebrimbor shrugged noncommittally, pretending to complain, "That's the kind of time you'd think of dragging me along."
"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe it tastes good." Romimos said with a smile, waved his hand and called the waiter to finish ordering, and then chatted with Celebrimbor.He just relaxed a bit, and inadvertently raised his eyes, only to find that Glorfindel was looking at her coldly.Poker face.
The expression on Romimos's face was just so frozen, it didn't matter if he continued to smile or not.
Glorfindel didn't expect her to turn her head suddenly, and after a moment of stunned, she looked away as if nothing had happened.
So it's really her problem again?Romimos thought gloomily, but even if she didn't know when she offended Glorfindel, she would rather he get angry at her directly than sulk here and let her guess.
Had it been just the two of them, Romemus might have chosen to ask straight up, but there's Elrond and Celebrion around right now - especially Celebrion - in, Romemus It's not easy to make things clear.While anyone with a little history should know that she and Glorfindel were at odds, that doesn't mean Romimoth is very happy to make that fact known in front of outsiders.
Fortunately, the waiter came back after going to the kitchen for a while, with a flat square wooden box in his hand, which finally gave the uncomfortable Romimos a place to focus.
"What is this?" she asked.
"This is a special gift we prepared for you." The waiter replied, placing the wooden box in front of Romemos, and opened the lid with both hands, "Ten years ago, you gave us a bracelet, which helped us spend the most difficult time. It was a difficult time at the beginning, so the boss specially created a set of jewelry for you, and I am going to wait for you to come again as a thank you gift at that time."
"He really is a person who knows how to reciprocate." Romemos suddenly became interested, but it's not that she loves luxurious jewelry. Compared with their price, Romemos obviously values these jewelry as handicrafts the value of.
On this point, Celebrimbor and Romemus reached an agreement. As the most outstanding craftsman in the Middle-earth Jewelry and Goldsmiths Guild, Celebrimbor's love for minerals has been carved into his bones. Even after being deceived by Sauron, he once had a psychological shadow on forging—more precisely, what he was afraid of was that he would fall into the frantic pursuit of creation again and lose his proper reason—but in this At this time, he still couldn't control himself not to look over.
The owner of the restaurant is really sincere. He said it was a complete set of jewelry, but it was really a complete set from top to bottom, including a forehead crown, a pair of earrings, a necklace, a pendant, a brooch, a pair of bracelets, a pair of The ring and a belt are mainly made of sterling silver and white pearls, and the style is closer to the classical style of Númenor, which is simple and solemn, without any fancy decorations.
"The materials are all good materials." Romimos reviewed them one by one and commented.
"Indeed, pearls are a specialty of Númenor, but if you can find a few dozen of them at the same time, they are definitely worth a fortune." Celebrimen nodded in agreement, and said, " But it's a pity you don't like pearls, do you?"
"I can't say I don't like it at all, and while I do prefer brilliant, bright mineral gemstones, the main reason I rarely wear pearls is because they're not durable." A hundred years is not a short time for human beings, but for Romimos, it is about throwing away as needed. "And pearls can't be carved and polished like ores. Its value is basically determined from the moment it is taken out of the shell. How should I put it? It seems a bit boring to me."
"Listen to you, are you going to wear these jewelry?"
"Since it was given as a gift, it doesn't matter if you wear it in a different style once in a while." Romimos twisted the ring with two fingers, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, "After decades, these pearls can no longer be seen, and they will be worn again." Once the fire is melted, then make new silver ornaments."
"Or you can re-insert other jewelry. Although this set of silver jewelry is simple in style, it is convenient for secondary processing."
"Why? Is your hand itchy?" Romimos said with a smile, "You're welcome. If you want to practice your hand, you can just take it away."
Celebrimbor was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "That's not what I meant. Even if you really want to reprocess, you can do it yourself."
"Of course it's okay for me to come by myself, but I'm definitely far behind your level." Romemos said, "Speaking of which, I've known you for a long time, but I haven't seen you with my own eyes even once. Having experienced the craftsmanship of the best craftsmen in Central Continent, now that you have the opportunity, why don't you show me your skills?"
"...It's not that I don't want to, Luo Mi." Even though he said that, Celebrimbor's expression became obviously awkward, "But to be honest, I haven't touched a hammer for a long time, and now I'm probably unfamiliar with it. It’s amazing, even if you manage to make something, it will only make you laugh.”
"When you say 'for a long time', you don't mean that you haven't lit the stove since you returned to Linton?"
"I can't. For artisans, the work is like their business card. Once I really make something, I will definitely be recognized as my identity."
Sounds like a legitimate reason, but is that all there is to it?Romemos was dubious.
"If this is the case, you can find a place to type secretly, and you don't need to show it to others after typing, and send it to me directly with the letter." She insisted stubbornly.
"Fly your little birds all the way to the Isle of Númenor with their heavy suits of silver?"
"You don't have to make a whole set, that would be too eye-catching," said Romemus, and she took the pair of earrings out of the box separately, and handed one of them to Celebrimbor. "How about, When you return to Linton, I return to Númenor, and we will redecorate this earring separately. There are no restrictions on materials and themes. If there is no accident, I will come to Pelakir to tour ten years later. If we can still meet, it will be interesting to see what different design ideas we two have on the exact same basis, right?"
Romemos had already reached this point, and Celebrimbor couldn't shirk anymore, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he took the pearl earring: "Okay, it's a deal. "
Seeing Celebrimbor agreeing, Romemos was naturally overjoyed, but the corners of her mouth hadn't been raised halfway, and the crisp sound of glass shattering behind her ear made the smile on her face stop abruptly again.
started again? !
"Sorry, my hand slipped and I didn't keep it steady," Glorfindel explained in a low voice, frowning tightly.
"It's okay, I'll get you a new glass." The waiter heard the movement and hurried over to clean it up. "Be careful not to be scratched by broken glass."
Romemos couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.
"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back," she said, getting up to leave.
After Romemos stared at the mirror in the bathroom for 3 minutes, someone knocked on the door outside, and she opened the door a little annoyed to let him in.
It was Celebrimbor who came: "Are you all right, Romi?"
"I'm fine, but in fact, when we first met yesterday, I wanted to ask, what happened to Glorfindel? When did I not pay attention to offend him?"
"Probably not, at least I don't think so." Celebrimbor also looked blank, "And he didn't just come here to meet you, he was in the mood a few days before he came to Pelakire It doesn't seem to be very good, so I don't think it's your problem."
Romemos pondered for a while, then asked, "Is that why you messed with him?"
"Me?" Celebrimbor was even more puzzled. "What does it matter to me?"
"Elrond and Miss Celebrion sat across the table, and you were the only one sitting next to me, and if he wasn't glaring at me, he was glaring at you."
"Huh? Except for the two times when we came to Pelakire together, I may not see him for a few weeks in Linton. I can count the words in a year with one hand. How can I? Offend him?"
Romimos frowned, pondered for a while, and asked tentatively, "Then do you think that Glorfindel's bad mood might have something to do with Miss Celebrion?"
"Why does this involve Celebrion again?" Celebrimbor looked puzzled, "And didn't you just say that Glorfindel was looking at us?"
"After thinking about it, if I have to say that I have done something out of the ordinary recently, it is that when I first saw Miss Celebrity, I frightened her a few words for fun."
"Are you thinking too much? Celebrion himself didn't take this matter to heart. Why is Glorfindel unhappy?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Romimos stomped his feet and spoke surprisingly, "He must have taken a fancy to Miss Celebrity, so I can't see her being wronged a bit, but it's not a good idea A little thing can make me angry, so I can only show my face."
Celebrimbor's mouth was open and his face was blank.
"What do you think?"
"I think..." Celebrimbor said worriedly, "you really need to calm down. Even if Glorfindel is indeed a bit abnormal, you can't go crazy with him."
Just as Romemos was about to stare and curse, someone knocked lightly on the door twice.
"Aren't you alright?" It was Celebrian. "Is something wrong?"
I'm really afraid of something.Romemos sighed: "It's okay, we'll be right here."
Opening the door, Celebrian stood outside the door with a gentle and gentle smile on her face. Even Romimos had to admit that she was really a girl who couldn't be hated just by looking at her, so she could only Forced to squeeze out a smiling face, he walked out sideways without saying a word.
"Please wait a moment, Miss Romemus." Celebrian stopped her. "It's nothing serious. I just want to have a private chat with you. You go back first, cousin."
Celebrimbor went away quite at ease, and he was not afraid that Romemus would eat his cousin, leaving Romemus alone full of doubts. What could Celebrian and her have to say?
Celebrian admitted that the reason why she offered to come to Pelakir with Celebrimbor this time was not only because she hadn’t traveled far for too long and wanted to go out to relax (especially Elrond’s companions) ), there was indeed some reason for her curiosity about Romimos.
Most of this curiosity stems from the split between the image of Romemos in the legend and the reactions of those around her when talking about Romemos. If we say that Celebrimbor’s attention to Romemos is okay I understand, then Glorfindel's attitude towards Romimos is even more intriguing.
Celebrity and Glorfindel were actually not very close. Most of the time, one of them was in Linton and the other was in Rivendell, so they could only be regarded as nodding acquaintances.But even just from some rumors, Celebrian can sensitively feel how delicate the relationship between the two is - Glorfindel never hides his hatred for Romimos, but if When a person does not give up any opportunity to meet his enemy but it is not for revenge, you have to question whether his hatred is mixed with other things.
And now Celebrian finally saw the relationship between Glorfindel and Romimos with his own eyes. If he had to find a word to describe it, it would only be..."amazing".
"What do you want to say to me, Miss Celebrian?" Romemus interrupted Celebrian's thoughts, and asked immediately before Celebrian could speak. , "Did you hear what I just said?"
"I heard a little bit, sorry, I didn't mean it." Celebrian smiled awkwardly but politely. She also didn't expect the fire to burn on her. No wonder Elrond has been hinting at her Stay away from those people. "Before, I was always wondering, because I didn't know you before, why were you so rude when we first met? Now I suddenly realized that you misunderstood the relationship between me and Lord Glorfindel."
"I'm not polite to you because I don't need to be polite to elves. What's the matter with Glorfindel?" Romimos sneered, "But you and Celebrimbor are really brothers and sisters, When I first met him, he also complained that I was ruthless. I will not mention whether you have misunderstood me, but you have misunderstood me quite a bit. Could it be that the elves have always had this kind of dissatisfaction towards Sauron? Realistic expectations? Then I don't wonder why Linton always loses so badly against Mordor."
Celebrian was not angry, but after a short pause, he changed the topic: "It sounds like you and my cousin have a good relationship."
"Normal." Romemos replied cautiously, "Why? You think I'm the second Anata, and you want me to stay away from him?"
"No." Celebrian shook his head. "At least so far, I am very grateful to you about my cousin. We can't expect him to be alive, even if he dies." We are also very worried that he will fall into the infinite self-blame against Erejan and be devastated."
"You are relatives of Telpe, and you should know him better than I do. He can survive on his own, and it has nothing to do with me."
"So you don't admit that you are friends with him?" asked Celebrion.
"...It depends on what Telpe thinks." Romemos said after hesitating for a moment, "If he needs me, of course, I can be his friend, believe it or not."
"What about Lord Glorfindel?" Celebrian didn't give Romimos any time to think, and asked immediately, "Do you consider him a friend too?"
Romimus raised one eyebrow. "Are you joking, Miss Celebrion?"
"Of course I know that your past experiences are very complicated." Celebrion said tactfully, "But, excuse me, you seem to care a lot about Lord Glorfindel, at least he cares a lot about his attitude towards you."
Romemos licked his lips, and his voice was unconsciously a little irritated: "Can we talk straight?"
"Then I'll ask directly." Celebrian readily agreed, "Lord Golden Flower or my cousin, who do you like more?"
