Chapter 117 Chapter 117

Celebrimbor finally went to Perakir as he wished, and not only did he go, Elrond also went, Glorfindel also went, and the most incredible thing is that Celebrian This time, I will also go with them.

"...Are you sure?" Celebrimbor couldn't help asking again.

"Yes." Celebrian smiled impeccably sweetly, "Why? I'm not welcome?"

"Of course not," said Celebrimbor, "but Galadriel and your father agreed?"

"I am a man of age," said Celebrion, "and I can decide where I want to go."

Let it be, Celebrimbor mused.But how could those who had warned him so earnestly about the ill-advised decision to go to Pelakir suddenly let go so easily?

But since Galadriel and the others have no objections, Caleb will certainly not say anything more. Besides, he didn't think Pelakir was so dangerous, let alone Linton, Rivendell and Gray Harbor Besides, it is already the most friendly and safe place for elves in Central Continent.The only uncertainty was Romimos, but apparently she wasn't a potential threat at all in Mrs. Caleb's eyes.

But probably only Caleb thinks so, and even Romimus himself dare not say that he is harmless.She froze visibly when she saw Celebrian.

"Who is this charming elf lady? This is the first time we've met, right?" Romemos' face quickly returned to normal, and his smile was even warmer than when he greeted Caleb, but she But his eyes quickly swept across Glorfindel, Caleb, and Elrond calmly, secretly wondering what their relationship with this female elf was.

"This is Celebrian." Elrond stood between the two of them, and reluctantly introduced to Romimus, "the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel."

Oh, so Galadriel's daughter, Idril's cousin, no wonder.Romemos looked at the other party from head to toe without showing any signs of expression, and his eyes stayed on the beautiful long shiny hair for a few seconds.

The conclusion reached was that this was indeed an impeccable beauty.

"It's really surprising." Romemos withdrew his probing gaze, "Although Telpe told me in advance that there will be four of you coming, I didn't expect that there would be such a distinguished guest among them."

"I came to Pelakir this time just to relax. I just happened to catch up with Numenor's opera troupe tour, so I came to watch it. It's no different from other audiences. Don't worry about Miss Romimos." The notorious witch of Middle-earth, Celebrian was very calm, with a calm expression, neither humble nor overbearing.

"It doesn't matter if this is really just an ordinary opera troupe. But..." Romemus glanced at Glorfindel's reaction out of the corner of his eye, "Is it because I'm not famous enough? Or do you think there are three If I'm alone, it's impossible for me to do something to you?"

"Of course not." Celebrimbor said before Celebrian and Elrond had anything to say, "Never mind, Celebrian, Rami loves to be scary sometimes. .right?"

Caleb choked back the threat that Romemos hadn't said yet, so he could only grunt unwillingly and accept it as his acquiescence.

"It's better not to let your guard down too much." Glorfindel said suddenly at this moment, "Who knows which words from some people's mouths should be believed?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. In fact, Glorfindel agreed with Caleb's words—although he didn't know which nerve Romimos suddenly pulled wrong to make trouble with Celebrian, whom he had never met before. But ninety-nine out of ten she just talked about it.But when these words were taken for granted by Mrs. Caleb, Glorfindel's mouth sang against him faster than his brain.

Sure enough, even as slow as Romemos noticed his abnormality, he stared blankly at him.

Although the tension between the two of them was nothing new, and it was not normal for them not to argue every time they met, Glorfindel had never been so mean before.In the past, they argued about the facts because of disagreement, but what was it this time?Because she frightened Celebrian a few words?

The smirk on Romemos's face gradually disappeared, and she looked at Celebrian thoughtfully again, but she said nothing in the end, because she didn't want to conflict with Glorfindel for no reason, since The other party's anger is not going well now, so she should take a step back for now.

"I've left you tickets for tomorrow morning, don't worry, this time it's an all-original script." Romimos turned his head, ignored Glorfindel, and said to Caleb, "And you're going to prepare this time. How long?"

"Well, it depends on the situation, it won't be too long, and it can only stay for three days at most."

"That's enough, we'll leave the day after tomorrow." Romemos said, "I'll ask the manager for half a day's leave after the performance tomorrow morning, and we'll have a meal together at noon. I found a very interesting restaurant when I came here last time. Hope he doesn't go out of business. Then we can chat about what you wrote in your last letter."

"I can do it, as long as it's convenient for you." Having said that, Caleb showed a bit of hesitation on his face, "But...is it just the two of us?"

Luo Mimosi knew what he meant, but still pretended to be stupid: "Then what do you mean?"

"Anyway, we don't have anything special to do when we come to Pelakire this time. Since that's the case, wouldn't it be good for everyone to go out together?" Caleb said, but he also lacked confidence.

"I don't care." Romemos said, she did have such a plan at the beginning, but Glorfindel's attitude made her shrink back, "If the three of them have no objections."

Elrond didn't make a clear statement, but he knew with his toes that he would definitely not want to; Glorfindel's face was not very good, but he didn't speak; After the reaction, he said politely: "I think it is the same, more people are more lively."

Elrond hesitated to speak, probably regretting why he didn't warn Celebrian in advance: Don't join in some excitement.

The consequence of forcing a pot of excitement is that on the way to the restaurant after the performance, five people together are quieter than two people.Although Caleb tried to find something to talk about, but the list of things he was good at did not include the item of active atmosphere, and Glorfindel, who was actually the most cheerful among them, was uncharacteristically silent all the way today; Luo Mimos was full of thoughts about what could make him feel bad for two days in a row. Could it be that she did something to provoke him again?But she really hasn't done anything recently!

"Approximately how far is the place you mentioned, Miss Romemus?" Finally, Celebrian couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and asked.

"It's not far away. It's just another turn ahead. I'm sorry, I didn't consider the distance. I should have called a carriage for you."

"You are very sweet, but there is no need, I am not complaining about the distance." Celebrian said, "I am just a little surprised how you found such a quiet place before? You are familiar with Pelakir ?"

"No, I'm only here for the second time. I just happened to find this place with Glorfindel last time." Romimus replied.

"The music and scenery in their house are good." Glorfindel's face softened a little, and he nodded.

"Let's put the scenery aside, isn't the music just good to you?" Romemos said, eyes wide open, dissatisfied, "If I say that even if it's put in Aman, it's considered a place in Valinor. It is one of the best. By the way, you can evaluate it later, Telpe, don’t you have a relative who is very good at playing the piano and singing? I have never thought of this, next time I should let you sing a song Listen."

"I'm afraid my musical talent is not one-tenth of my second uncle's." Celebrimbor smiled when he spoke to Romemus, but at last he couldn't help showing a look of melancholy in his eyes.

Elrond walked at the end of the line and kept silent all the time. At this moment, he just lowered his eyes and sighed inaudibly.When he raised his head again, he happened to meet the eyes of Celebrian, who was watching him silently. For a while, the two looked at each other silently. After a few seconds, Celebrian gave Elrond a slight smile. She smiled and shook his wrist lightly.

Romemos was unaware of the subtle atmosphere behind him.

"Even if you don't know how to sing, you should know how to listen." She said, as she lightly jumped up the three steps and opened the door, the smooth and moving music poured out from the room, gently enveloping everyone "How about it? Even in Linton, you can't find a few people who can play this kind of music?"

Celebrimbor knew very well how picky Romimos's eyes were in the past, and the person who could make her full of praise did arouse some curiosity and anticipation in him. He also froze for a moment when the piano sounded.

"...It's not bad." He stood in the middle of the gate and said, "No, it should be said to be quite good."

However, as if trying to slap Romemus in the face on purpose, before Celebrimbor finished speaking, the musician who had just been affirmed by Caleb made an unimaginable sound Mispronunciation, and then the whole piece of music stopped abruptly, and it didn't sound again after a long time.

Romimos was frozen in place like a statue, speechless.

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes." Celebrimbor found a step for her.

That's right, no matter how good a luthier is, he can't guarantee that he will never play a wrong note in his life, but you don't play it wrong sooner or later, but after she blows people up to the sky, you lose the chain, which makes Luo Mi Where does Moss save face?

"Good afternoon, everyone." Just when Romemus felt that he could not get off the stage, the waiter of this restaurant appeared in time, but it was not the restaurant that Romemus and Glorfindel saw when they came last time The boss, but a younger and taller boy, was surprised when he saw Romemos and the elves at first, but he quickly changed into a professional waiter, "What can I do for you?" ?”

"At this time, of course we are here for dinner." Romemos said.

"Sorry, do you have an appointment in advance?"

"What... what?" Romimos frowned.

"Sorry, we're not the kind of small restaurant that serves anyone casually. Unless you make a reservation in advance, we may not be able to accommodate you."

Romemus was dumbfounded.

"It seems that the boss here really listened to what you said that time, didn't he?" Glorfindel said.

"I didn't teach him to do that!" Romimos was already in a bad mood, and now being fueled by such a fire, he turned all his anger on the waiter, "Then what do you mean, we are all unworthy?" Any random person eating at your place?"

"No, no, I never meant that." The waiter bowed again and again.Even just from the appearance of their clothes, he can tell that these people are all of extraordinary background, "But our rules here are like this. If there is any offense, please bear with me."

"Forget it, Miss Romemus." Celebrian couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, "he just followed the rules, and we'll just change places."

Romemos snorted resentfully, in fact, she didn't really want to eat here, but she was quite embarrassed by the feeling of shooting herself in the foot, which made her angry from embarrassment.

"Wait, I'm sorry everyone, please wait a moment!" Romimos and the others were about to turn around and leave, and they had already stepped out of the door with one foot. The young waiter suddenly changed his mind somehow, and rushed to the door. Come over and stop them, "Are you the lady who dined with us ten years ago?"

"Even if your business was bad ten years ago, I wouldn't be the only patron for a whole year, right?" Romemos still said angrily, "How do I know which lady you're talking about?"

"You left a bracelet at that time," asked the waiter, "could you please describe a little bit what it looked like?"

"70.00% five-purity solid gold bracelet. The pattern on it is a water bird. It is inlaid with five pieces of carnelian, one piece of turquoise, and two pieces of lapis lazuli. The piece of ruby ​​on the head There's a small natural diamond-shaped brown spot. Need I say more?"

"No, no need." The waiter probably didn't expect Romemus to remember it so clearly ten years later, he stammered and shook his head violently, then bowed another ninety degrees, "Very I'm sorry, I was blind and didn't recognize you just now. If you want to come, of course you don't need to make an appointment in advance. "

"Forget it. I'm just an ordinary little opera singer. I'm neither a relative of the emperor nor a famous nobleman. Why should you make an exception?"

"Don't say that." The waiter said quickly, "Our boss made this restaurant famous because he followed your advice back then, and even opened a restaurant in the center of Pelakire not long ago. New store. He has told you a long time ago that if you or another gentleman can come back again, you must thank you for your reminder. Today you and your friends are our most important guests here, please come in You can order whatever you want, and it will be counted on our boss’s account. Today we have a new batch of high-quality lobster, or do you want to help you open two bottles of the most expensive red wine here?”

"Let's put the lobster and red wine first. To be honest, I am a repeat customer only because of your luthier." Romemos curled his lips, "But what happened today? Or did you actually change people? "

"This... I'm very sorry. Our luthier just told me that he is not in a good condition today, so he asked for leave and left." The waiter cautiously smiled, "I have been working here for three years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. It's really unfortunate today."

"Ghost knows if it's really a coincidence." Romimos muttered softly.She recalled the not-so-speculative meeting with the musician ten years ago, and suspected that the other party might have recognized her voice and found an excuse to escape in order to avoid her trouble.

Of course, Romimos just complained, and she didn't bother to really care about these things. It would be better to say that as a normal person, running away when she hears her is the proper reaction.Although it may be that she has become too down-to-earth in the past 20 years, even a noble young lady like Galadriel's daughter dared to join her, so the so-called normal people have become rare.

Let’s say now —— Romimos looked around and fixed his eyes on Elrond, seeing the expression on the other’s face gradually changing from bewilderment to vigilance and finally into a tangled ball, he came to a conclusion in his heart—— There is only one normal person in a room.
