Chapter 161 (1/2)
It's sunny.
The clouds are thin.
A cloud of light hung high in the sky.
The warm golden sun shines on the earth.
GUSHAN is on the road leading to Changhu town.
”Bang Bang...”
The sound of horses' hoofs was loud.
A team of four horsemen galloped down the road.
Walk quickly towards the distance.
For a long time.
The speed of the four man team slowed down a lot.
At this time, a voice sounded from the rear of the team.
”Gandalf, this seems to be the way to the dark forest?”
”Yes...”
At the front of the team, the old man in pointed hair and gray robe turned his head and said with a smile: ”this is indeed the way to the dark forest, but we don't go to the dark forest.”
”From this road, we will reach the dark and dense forest mountains, and then change the road from there...”
”This is the quickest way for us to the valley.”
The grey robed old man said, very naturally took down the cigarette rod from his waist and began to smoke.
The three men behind them also took down the kettle on their horses and drank water.
These four are naturally morgentariel Gandalf Bilbo, who left from the lonely mountain.
Early in the morning, I said goodbye to the humans and dwarfs in the lonely mountain.
After riding for hours, he slowly slowed down.
”Gulu Gulu...”
Several mouthfuls in a row.
Morgan put down the kettle, took a long breath, turned his head, looked at the towering lonely mountain behind him, then looked at Gandalf and asked, ”how long does it take us to go to ravendale?”
”Barking...”
Gandalf lit the cigarette pole in his hand, took a sip and spit out the smoke. Then he said, ”if it goes well, we can arrive in about 20 days.”
”If it doesn't go so well, it should take about a month...”
”Of course, our trip is to visit ravendale. There is no task or anything else. We don't need to rush.”
”Don't care too much about time.”
Gandalf said with a smile and continued to pump.
”Then what is not going well?”
Then Bilbo, who hung the kettle back on his horse, asked, ”I mean, what makes our trip difficult?”
”There are many answers to this question, Bilbo...”
Gandalf smiled and looked at Bilbo and continued, ”for example, we have encountered snowstorms, rainstorms, of course, there are few rainstorms, or attacks from other creatures...”
”In short, everything may slow down our journey.”
Gandalf said leisurely, smoking a cigarette rod.
”Are you worried about something, Bilbo?”
Morgan smiled and jumped off his horse, then led the horse to a small puddle of melted snow not far away.
”Are we going through the misty mountains this time?”
”I heard Gandalf mention it before...”
Watching Morgan's operation, Bilbo jumped off the horse, led the smaller horse to the small puddle at the side of the road, and said, ”I'm just worried if we'll meet the orcs again.”
”Don't worry about it...”
Gandalf smiled and knocked the smoking pole on his hand, picked out the smoke excrement, filled in the cut tobacco again and said, ”after this war, I believe those orcs will be quiet for a long time.”
”But we're going to go through the dark and dense forest mountains this time.”
”It has long been polluted by the shadow of darkness.”
”We may have some trouble...”
At this time, Morgan just took a bag of dried mutton from tarrell, picked up a few pieces and threw them into the import. He chewed and said, ”since there is trouble, can we make a detour?”
”Anyway, this is a play. We brought enough food. As Gandalf said, there's no need to pursue time too much.”
Gandalf looked at Morgan and nodded, ”of course, I thought so at first.”
”But after thinking, I found that I left that road.”
”Our last road to the valley takes at least three months.”
”What do you think?”
Hearing Gandalf's words, Bilbo immediately reacted, shaking his head like a rattle: ”no, three months is too long.”
”It was not far from the summer spring.”
”You promised me to go to my hometown Bree together.”
Bilbo said, looking at Gandalf and then Morgan, with a firm expression.
Facing Bilbo's eyes, Gandalf continued to smoke leisurely, and then looked at Morgan.
Morgan slapped his stallion on the ass, who was harassing tarrell's mare, and was about to speak.
Tarrell, who was beside him, suddenly smiled and said, ”then go down the road you planned by Gandalf.”
”Anyway, with the strength of all of us, we really don't have to worry about some small troubles.”
Tarrell said, looking at Morgan.
By his own woman, no, it's a female elf. What else does he have to say.
It's all small things anyway.
Yes, just last night.
At dawn the day before yesterday, serandir, the king of elves, took a group of wood elves and set off for the dark forest the next night.
Morgan turned tarrell into his own elf.
then.
He found that after a night of lingering last night.
There have been some changes in tarrell's temper and character.
Tarrell began to speak for him and make some small decisions for him, with a trend towards the role of wife.
Although Morgan himself enjoyed it.
”Tarrell is right...”
”I think so, too.”
Morgan nodded immediately and continued to change his words without restraint. ”Some small troubles really don't need to waste too much time.”
Gandalf smiled and looked at Morgan and the fairy.
I just feel that there should be a lot of excitement along the way.
Bilbo is also looking at Morgan and tarrell.
But what he thought in his heart was not excitement, but: ”will he be like Morgan and the fairy in front of him if he takes a wife in the future?”
The team didn't rest too long.
After feeding the horse with water and food, after a short rest.
The team is on its way again.
At this time, the four people were on the Avenue next to the long lake. They had not gone out of the scope of the isolated mountain. Looking back, they saw a towering isolated mountain full of snow.
Looking forward to the Changhu Lake, you can still see the ruins of Changhu town destroyed by the evil dragon Shi Maoge on the other side of the Changhu Lake.
”Bang Bang...”
The sound of hoofs sounded again.
The team of four quickly ran towards the front.
Time passed slowly.
The edge of the day is inclined to the West.
The sky began to darken.
The cold wind howled in the mountains.
A forest edge.
Four figures are busy.
Three of them are busy picking up dead branches and dry firewood, and one is feeding the horse.
After a while.
