Allen, who returned to his own territory, looked at the familiar environment and responded to the greetings from the people on the road, and his heart felt much lighter for a while.
Wilderness is his home in Middle-earth.
Even after returning home, Allen did not rest immediately, but immediately arranged Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins into the guest room.
The Stephen family who followed Allen back were arranged to stay in an inn. After this guy was sure that he could stay in Wilderness Town, Allen planned to allocate him a house.
According to the long-standing habits of Wilderness Town and the customs of Middle-earth, after winning a war, a banquet is always arranged to soothe the hearts of the soldiers after fighting hard.
Of course, in Allen's memory, it is not only possible to participate in the banquet if you win, but you may also be forced to participate in the carnival if you lose.
For example, the lord of Eregion, Celebrimbor.
After Sauron led the orc army to conquer Eregion, this famous elf craftsman was forced to participate in Sauron's carnival.
Sauron asked him about the whereabouts of the three elven rings. As a descendant of Fëanor, Celebrimbor would never compromise with Sauron. He was then hung on a flagpole by an orc and pierced by random arrows to death. His soul
Return to the Halls of Mandos.
The winner's banquet is fragrant and sweet, while the loser's feast is at the mercy of others.
In fact, according to common sense, the banquet after the Battle of Five Armies should be hosted by the host Thorin.
But the dwarf prince is extremely busy right now, and all his supplies were brought by Dyne from the Iron Hills, so holding it by force would only make it look very shabby.
Therefore, Thorin arranged the banquet to be held when he welcomed his father back.
At this time, it was necessary for Allen to hold a small banquet at his residence to entertain his men who had contributed a lot in the war, as well as the two friends who came with him.
Of course, after a period of preparation, there will be a large-scale celebration, but it may coincide with the New Year's celebration.
But it doesn't matter, Allen plans to extend the carnival from noon to evening, celebrating twice a day.
It's just that since Jamila became the mayor of the town, she has become busier and busier, and she can no longer find time to personally arrange for people to take care of Allen's food and daily life.
So she asked Dosili, an older woman, to take charge of this matter.
To be considered older, Dosili is only in her fifties this year, but her years of hard life make this woman look very old.
She is always accompanied by her granddaughter Alice to assist her in completing the tasks assigned by Jamila.
This is a very young girl. When Allen first saw her five years ago, she was just a child with messy hair and a dirty face.
Even Allen didn't notice at the time that there was a little girl who often followed Dosili.
Alice's life experience was extremely miserable. Her parents died at the hands of orcs in order to defend the village at a very early age. It was Dosri who single-handedly raised her.
As time went by, the little girl gradually grew up and became a slim girl.
At this time, she stood dignifiedly in front of Allen and said timidly: "Lord, Mayor Jamila said that from now on I will be your maid, responsible for taking care of your food and daily life."
Allen looked at this well-educated little girl and nodded, feeling deeply that Dosili had educated his granddaughter well.
He looked at the little girl in front of him and asked, "Have you ever been to school? Have you graduated?"
Allen didn't just ask casually. He had a lot of writing-related work that needed people around him to complete it, and it didn't matter if he didn't go to school.
Alice looked at the young lord in front of her, feeling vaguely nervous.
But she didn't show it too much. She nodded quickly and said, "I have studied and graduated."
Because Alice's fellow villagers who came back from the battlefield loudly publicized Allen's performance on the battlefield. He killed hundreds of orcs with his hands, and led a dozen personal guards to kill heads in the enemy army, leaving black blood.
The silver armor was almost splashed all over, and so on, which were not particularly exaggerated words.
Under the background of these words, even though Allen is looking at Alice with a calm expression, this little girl who is only fourteen years old feels particularly embarrassed.
Allen noticed a little bit, but didn't pay much attention to it. It was normal for little girls to be nervous, and not all girls could be as active as Kress.
It's just that he felt that Alice was a little too thin and quiet, so she might not be suitable to be his personal maid.
But Allen would not reject a little girl directly like this. That would be too unkind, so he thought about it carefully, waved to Hermione, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Hermione looked at Alice up and down while listening, and finally nodded and said: "Lord Allen, there is no problem. I think she can give it a try."
As soon as Hermione said these words, Alice, who was already very nervous, became even more nervous, but she still forced herself to look at the lord in front of her calmly, wondering about her next work and what she would do.
?
Allen, who didn't think much about it, looked at Alice with a smile and said softly: "Alice, there's no need to be so nervous."
After a slight pause, Alice continued after she relaxed a little: "Being my maid is a very dangerous job, so I arranged for the most powerful Horimion in Wilderness Town to be your instructor. He
You will be trained to become a qualified warrior, are you willing to give it a try?"
In fact, Allen had previously thought about replicating the Silver Mist Ranger from Pendor. Originally, he wanted to find some archers to be trained by the Twilight Knights. After all, it would take a long time for the equipment and horses of the heavy cavalry to be available.
After all, there is no basis for training at this time.
And Alice just happened to be able to do it. If this little girl who looks very weak can accept it, then let Alice participate in the training together. As for taking care of Allen's food and daily life, Allen doesn't feel that he needs it much.
take care of.
It's okay for Alice to be his personal maid after she has successfully trained.
After all, Allen should also have put his name on Sauron. In case someone really couldn't figure it out, in order to reimburse the Dark Lord for assassinating him, a helpless little girl like Alice would stay in Ai
It's really too dangerous to be around Lun.
If Alice doesn't agree, it's easy. Allen can just refuse Alice's service for very dangerous reasons.
Just looking at Alice who was a little weak, after hearing Allen's words, she agreed without thinking.
Her grandmother Dosili had told Alice when she came here to serve the lord well and do her best to fulfill every request of Allen.
Seeing Alice agreeing without hesitation, Allen felt a little more appreciation for this little girl in his heart. If you are willing, then give it a try. He never felt that his fighting power was too much.
It's just that the training won't start for a few days, and now Alice still has to do some work as a lord's maid.
Regarding the evening banquet, Allen arranged for Alice to cooperate with Bilbo Baggins.
After all, this hobbit is the chef at tonight's banquet.
And Allen is also planning to take advantage of this time to visit the cemetery east of Wilderness Town.
