Chapter 277 Soup

A few days later, Edoras, the capital of Rohan.

"The river environment is also part of the investigation. Now I am convinced that this river can lead directly to Edolas, and its defense is indeed quite important."

Ecthelion said seriously.

Denethor stopped talking.

At this moment, the three of them were each rowing a rectangular boat, slowly moving forward on the river near Edoras.

"Is this really okay for us?"

Denethor was worried.

Ecthelion said loudly: "Put your worries down, Denethor, didn't I leave a message in Cair Andros?"

"Are you referring to the note that said the three of us went to investigate the 'wilderness around' the island?"

Across Levi, Denethor responded loudly from behind.

"This definition of 'around' is too far."

As far away as Rohan.

"When did you become so timid?"

"No, Father, I just..."

"Okay, okay, now that you're here, just feel at ease."

Levi ended the conversation between father and son.

"Just in time, we can drop by to visit Sengel. I can see that he misses life in Gondor very much. He usually speaks Gondor at home."

"Is this so..."

Ecthelion was quite emotional.

Sengel left Gondor only in the past few years. It was only a few years. Even for humans, it was not too long, and the memory was still fresh.

"Gondor will remember his service, and I believe we will remain friendly."

Levi smiled and said, "I believe this too."

Denethor looked absently at the scenery on both sides of the river and nodded unconsciously.

Denethor, who was only in his early twenties at this moment, didn't know what the future would hold. He only knew that the scenery of this land was also good. Although the terrain was relatively flat and monotonous, this was also its characteristic.

It is such open plains that can breed the horses and cavalry that are famous throughout Middle-earth.

The horses of Rohan are considered spiritual and beautiful - as opposed to those of Wayburg.

"What?"

In the golden palace, Sengel looked at the visitors in astonishment.

"Old friend, you look a little haggard." Ecthelion was the first to greet him.

Out of politeness, Sengel responded first: "Indeed, there are a lot of things that have bothered me recently, and I simply don't want to stay here."

"But let's not talk about this first, why are you here? Could it be that Mordor has launched a general attack?"

"No no no."

Ecthelian waved his hand and said seriously: "We are here to inspect the terrain."

"Inspecting the topography of Rohan?"

"Inspect the wild lands and river conditions near Cair Andros."

"But this is Rohan."

"But you can't deny that the river does flow through here."

"Then I would also say that it is connected to Levi's territory."

"Good idea, we can go and see it together."

"You..." Sengel frowned, planning to say something else.

But it suddenly stopped.

"It's indeed a good idea."

They looked at Levi at the same time.

The three of them looked at each other.

Denesalton felt bad outside the situation.

I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the inspection in less than a month...

Fortunately, it is a time of peace now - and only in such relatively peaceful times can the rulers go so far without worrying about anything happening.

Speaking of which, this peace was largely due to someone in the team.

Three days later.

"Hey, guess what I found!"

On the wasteland near the northern plateau, Sengel shouted to the three people behind him.

At this moment, he was not as haggard as before, he was in a cheerful state, and the wrinkles on his face appeared to be much less.

On a high hill, after shouting, Sengel raised the fresh mushrooms he had just picked.

Levi's expression changed.

However, Ecthelion and Denethor did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and they were still laughing.

After returning with the mushrooms, Sengel set up a bonfire on the spot and boiled water in a pot.

"Let me do it this time. Don't worry, I'm not someone who has never been in the kitchen. This mushroom soup was learned from Li Wei and I."

"Really? Then it looks like we're about to have a delicious mushroom dinner."

The father and son looked at the pile of fresh mushrooms with joy.

Levi opened and closed his mouth, trying to say something several times, but in the end he couldn't.

Fireworks go up.

Gululu…

The water in the pot is boiling, with mushrooms and meat pieces floating on top, surrounded by dots of oil rings.

"The soup is ready!" Sengel shouted.

Ecthelion and Denethor immediately ran over and filled a bowl each.

As for Levi, he turned his back to everyone and was fishing by the stream.

No matter how much Sengel shouted, there was no response, and the main attack was deaf.

Ecthelion suggested: "Leave him alone and let him fish first. I'm already hungry."

"Okay then, I'll leave one for him."

Sengel thoughtfully took out another bowl and set it aside to dry.

The three of them couldn't wait to pick up the soup.

Denethor, who was young and energetic, was the fastest. He held the bowl and poured it into his mouth.

"What's wrong?"

Before he could finish his mouth, Ecthelion quickly put down his spoon and went to check.

Denethor took a deep breath, looked at his father, and said calmly: "The soup is too hot. Remember to drink it slowly, father."

Ecthelion smiled, patted his son on the shoulder, and said:

"Your temperament still needs to be tempered. Learn from your uncles and be more calm. This will help your future career."

"Yes, I remember, father."

Denethor stared at Ecthelion unblinkingly, watching his next movements.

Realizing that Denethor seemed to be learning from him, Ecthelion tensed up and became serious.

He blew on the spoon a little to make sure the temperature was right before putting the soup into his mouth.

Then this mouthful of soup stayed in my mouth.

Ecthelion put down the bowl, propped his chin on his hand, and looked left and right, as if he was admiring the scenery.

When he turned back to look at Denethor, there were already some flow marks on the corners of his mouth, which were obviously soup.

Denethor couldn't help but laugh.

"Denethor."

Ecthelion suddenly called him.

"You eat first, and I'll bring soup to Levi."

After giving instructions, he walked towards the stream carrying his own soup and the bowl set aside for Levi.

"Father, I too..."

"You don't need two people to deliver soup. You can stay here."

Sengel looked at Exelian leaving with a smile on his face.

He spoke to Denethor with the care of an elder: "Your father is still very caring about people, and so are the soldiers who fought under him back then. He never cares about a person's identity. As long as that person is outstanding enough, he can get His reuse.”

"This is something we can learn from."

"Yes, Uncle Sengel, then I will also take care of Uncle Levi..."

"No."

Sengel grabbed him and said, "Soldiers must know how to obey orders. Since your father asked you to stay to eat, you should eat first. And can you bear to watch me eating here alone?"

"Just think of it as accompanying your elders. Come, I'll serve you another bowl."

On this day, Denethor felt the heavy love of his elders.

"How does it taste?"

Gudong.

Denethor swallowed a spoonful of mushroom soup with difficulty and nodded slowly.

After a while, Levi finally finished catching his fish.

The two came back with two empty bowls and a few newly hooked fish.

Li Wei put the fish next to the campfire and grilled it while saying:

"You can't feed four people with just soup. How about adding some fish?"

The sound was like the sound of nature to Denethor's ears.

"I'll come too."

Sengel stretched out his hand to help, but the next moment, a hand grabbed him.

Denethor said: "Please let me do it for you. You have just made the soup, so leave this to me."

"Well, it seems that you have initially learned to care for others."

Sengel retracted his hand, feeling somewhat relieved.

The little episode passed quickly.

Three days later, several people rowed across the Anduin River and arrived at Bei Lantao.

This barren brown land is also where Levi is about to do some construction.

Ecthelion knelt down and touched the land burned by the Orcs. He said to Denethor:

"In the last era, our ancestors fought on this land."

The same applies to Senger.

The three of them sighed, and Levi moved a little away, took out some blocks and started to build them.

He first set up a bonfire, then placed a few pieces of oak horizontally on one side. Finally, he cut out a shovel and shoveled a circle around the soil around the bonfire, digging out some grass paths.

In this way, a simple resting camp was built.

This place can be used as a mark. When the construction team arrives here in the future, they can build directly along this camp.

Many years ago it served as a landing place for the armies of Gondor and Rohan.

Now, it will continue to function as a ‘foothold’, but it will do more.

It may become a transit point with multiple functions.
