He said he would leave soon, but in fact, this so-called speed is only for the elves and even Vera.

If it were from the perspective of humans, then after the war, Charles stayed in Middle-earth for a long time.

In the autumn of 373, the Battle of Angban ended, and it took more than a year for Charles to go out to visit lords from all over the country.

The main reason is that he is not in a hurry to travel, and he chooses to live for a period of time whenever he arrives at a place.

In the early spring of 375, the agreed engagement time came, and all the immediate relatives of the two families gathered in the gorgeous and magnificent Thousand Grottoes Palace in Dorias and officially began the engagement ceremony.

The engagement ceremony of the elves is not complicated, it just gets together and holds a banquet.

The ceremony was presided over by both parents. Since Eor had long passed away, his uncle Turgon temporarily took over the role of his father.

Then, under the witness of many elves, both parties put the prepared silver ring on the fingers of both parties, and the ceremony was basically completed.

"It is expected that it will take several years to get married, after King Linton is completed."

During the banquet after the ceremony, parents of both parties announced the news and sincerely invited many relatives present to attend the wedding.

In fact, it will take about five or six years before the completion of the capital of Linton. This is the elves. If it were replaced by humans, the cucumber vegetables would have been cold.

However, this is the custom of the elves. After the engagement is completed, you have to wait for at least one year before you get married.

This is mainly to give the other party a buffering room. If you are not satisfied with the upcoming marriage during this period, both parties can get together at any time and dissolve the silver ring to terminate the engagement. The elves are firm in their will and loyal to love, so this situation is actually very rare.

After the engagement ceremony, the two sides dispersed, and Charles returned to Linton to continue to take charge of the kingdom, and in his spare time he studied jewelry crafts and forging metals.

But this kind of research has become hidden.

However, although he no longer taught his own knowledge and burned down many of his former knowledge works, those knowledge had been read and practiced by many qualified elves before, so his behavior was not very thorough.

But Charles can only do this.

From that conversation, he vaguely knew something about what is about to happen in Middle-earth in the future, but this kind of knowledge was limited to a rough idea.

He didn't know what would happen.

Book burning is a preventive measure, but even he himself does not know whether this prevention is good or bad.

So he would not follow the example of a certain "ancestor" in his memory and do something to bury scholars. First, he could not make up his mind, and second, he was not sure whether it was necessary or not.

Besides, under the cover of fate, even if he does that, how much impact will it have on the future?

...

For five years, except for running back and forth between Linton and Dorias, Charles visited the west coast of land every year, where the lord was named Childan, meaning shipbuilder.

This elf is ancient and was born at the same time as Xinge. Even the two parties are blood-related, and can also be linked to Shire.

Like Eor, Childan in ancient times was also one of the elves left behind because of Singer's disappearance.

But later he had some experience and did not join Dorias in the end, but led some people to build two port-type cities on the west coast of this continent.

At this time, the best sailors and the strongest ships in Middle-earth gathered in these two ports. Although Charles would lead the envoy to the West, his help was also indispensable.

...

Five years later, the capital of Linton was officially completed in Thorgarland, deep in the seven rivers.

Because of the huge islands in the river, the newly built royal capital occupies a very large area.

Currently, all residents of Linton have moved in and have not even filled one-third of their buildings.

Because the island boundary is protected by the surging river water of the Abdullant River, there are only two straight stone bridges, one south and one north.

So it did not build a city wall.

The night is shrouded in the light of the Abdullant River.

The white city in the island gathers many lights and flickers. Under the reflections of thousands of stars on the surface of the surrounding rivers, it is like a dazzling star falling from the mortal world.

And because the war to destroy Angban in the north had just ended, the elves drove out the darkness and brought light.

Therefore, the kings were named Erinel, and the word "Sinda" means Morning Star.

Or called Agrareb, which means glory.

The Kunya word for this meaning is Alkalinkui, and this name is consistent with a star in the sky.

Therefore, the Nodo tribe praised the city as a starry city or a star of glory that fell from the sky.

...

At the beginning of the spring of the following year when the Star City was established, a highly anticipated wedding was held in the new Linton capital.

Dorias, Nagoslod, Gondolin, Heslum, etc., all the elves and lords arrived one after another.

This grand occasion is naturally indispensable for dwarves who like to join in the fun, as well as human lords scattered around the world.

At the same time, not only the kings and lords, but also some ordinary elves and human dwarfs came after learning the news and spontaneously carried carefully prepared gifts.

This type of team is huge, and there is even a huge "migration" phenomenon in Berelander.

Many wedding attendees flocked from all directions to fill the originally empty Linton capital, even appearing quite crowded.

It took three months from the news to the official opening.

Even many clever vendors took the opportunity to carry out one business after another here, and all races also gained a deeper understanding of each other as this gathering.

Until the wedding officially begins.

The wedding was still hosted by parents and elders of both parties, and the oath was read out in the name of the same, and Western Villa was invited to testify.

At this time, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, the breeze is gentle, and the bright sunshine is pouring down from the sky.

At the open air Kings Square, the ceremony on the platform was solemnly held, and everyone was watching.

Charles, wearing a silver dress, stood face to face with Lucien, who was wearing an elegant white dress and a blue crystal princess crown, and took back the silver ring on his fingers representing engagement.

Then they put a fine gold ring on each other and put a finger on their right index finger, and finally bowed to their parents and relatives hand in hand, and there are many people who watched the ceremony below.

After the ceremony, a loud applause and cheer like heavy rain and thunder broke out in the square.

At that time, the sky was filled with clouds, the eagle cried ethereal and melodiously, and the river waves were soothing.

It seems that the whole world is participating in the celebration.

...

In the spring of the First Age 381, the wedding of King Linton Canier and Princess Dorias Lucien was officially held.

This is a wedding destined to be sung by the poet for a long time, and it is also the only meeting in history where dwarves, elves, and human kings gathered together without any grudges.

It was praised by many scholars in later generations as the peak of the elf era.
