Chapter 169 (1/2)
Ravendale.
Wide intersection in front of the long bridge.
The team of four is saying goodbye.
”Bilbo, Gandalf, I'll send tarrell back to the dark forest, and then I'll go to shire to find you.”
Said the two men in front of Morgan.
”I remember, Morgan.”
Bilbo looked at Morgan and said seriously, ”you can't break your appointment. We agreed.”
”Of course, I remember very well.”
Morgan nodded. If tarrell hadn't said he missed the dark forest, he wouldn't have separated from Bilbo Gandalf at this time.
”But when I get to shire, it may be summer,” Morgan continued with a smile.
”It doesn't matter. It's as beautiful as the summer shire.”
”Morgan, the tea at the bottom of the bag is at four o'clock. Don't remember wrong.”
Bilbo told with a smile.
”Of course, I won't forget.”
”Goodbye, Bilbo...”
”Goodbye, Gandalf...”
”Goodbye, Morgan...”
”Goodbye, tarrell...”
The four said goodbye to each other.
Immediately, the sound of horse hoofs sounded.
The four horses galloped in the opposite direction.
Farther and farther away.
Finally disappeared.
......
A month later.
North, great wilderness.
A sudden sound of hoofs broke the silence of the wilderness.
Soon, a man and a woman riding two horses appeared in the distance, ran to the edge of the wilderness and stopped in front of the forest.
Standing on the edge of the forest, I looked at the withered and yellow forest in front of me.
The tall man took out a map from his arms. After watching it carefully, he said to the slender and curvilinear fairy beside him, ”it should be here.”
”Look, do you have an impression here?”
The man handed the map to the fairy beside him.
The Female Elf took the map, looked at it carefully and nodded quickly: ”it's here. There's a road leading to the kingdom not far from here.”
”It only takes half a day, and we can get there.”
”Well...”
”It's still early. Let's have a rest, eat something and continue on the road.”
The tall man nodded and then turned over and dismounted.
The fairy also dismounted.
Soon, a large pile carpet was laid on the wild ground.
The tall man kept taking out several kinds of food and drinks from the void and put them on the carpet.
The two immediately began to eat.
These two are Morgan and tarrell, who left ravendale in the misty mountains a month ago.
After ravendale and Gandalf Bilbo separated.
Morgan took tarrell again. A few months ago, Gandalf took them to ravendale.
This time, they naturally did not need to take the road of dark dense forest mountains shrouded by dark demons and seriously corrupted.
But after visiting the skin changing man biong, he took another road straight to the dark forest in the north.
Here is a brief mention of the dark forest.
The whole dark forest is huge.
It is the most magnificent and largest forest in the north of the whole Middle Earth continent in the third era.
Long ago, because the evil of ”dorgodo” in the south appeared and grew rapidly, the dark forests of the whole South were shrouded in the dark shadow and began to be corrupted.
The sylvan elves (wood elves) led by the ELF KING serandir withdrew from the South and moved to the north.
Finally, a huge underground castle was built in the northeast forest to rule the woodland kingdom.
At this time, serandi was more accurately called ”the king of the North dark forest” than ”the king of the dark forest”.
A few months ago, Gandalf led a team of four through the dangerous huge dark mountains.
This mountain range is located on the edge of the dark forest to the north of the dividing line ”old forest road”, which divides the whole huge dark forest into North and south.
”Give me the wine...”
Morgan sat on the soft carpet, chewed the dried mutton in his hand and swallowed it, looking at tarrell next to him.
Tarrell picked up a slightly larger bottle and handed it over.
Morgan picked up the bottle and blew it directly into his mouth.
”Gulu Gulu...”
After taking a big mouthful of wine and rinsing with wine and water.
Morgan wiped the wine stains on his mouth and breathed comfortably.
At this time, tarrell also put down the dried fruit in his hand.
”Are you full?”
”Well...”
”Then let's go. We'll try to arrive before dark...”
The two of them immediately got up and packed up.
Before long, the packed two men led their horses into the dark forest ahead.
The forest in front of us is also infected with disease.
The leaves were withered and yellow, there was silence around, and there was a smell of corruption in the air.
Tarrell leads the way ahead.
Morgan followed with his horse.
Then Morgan's suddenly stopped.
Unable to hear the voice behind him, tarrell turned his head and saw what he was staring at.
”What's the matter?”
Tarrell stopped and asked.
”Look there.”
Morgan Nuo raised his head to indicate a direction.
Tarrell walked up to Morgan and looked in the direction Morgan pointed.
Then, I saw that on the ground full of yellow and rotten leaves, a small bud had stubbornly drilled out from the rotten leaves.
Standing tall in the cold wind of this withered forest.
”This...”
”This is a sign of forest recovery.”
”Great...”
At the moment of seeing the green buds, tarrell immediately widened his eyes and murmured.
That's a lot more than Morgan.
”We'll go back right away and tell the king the news as soon as possible.”
Tarrell raised his head, looked at Morgan beside him, and said with joy.
”Then go.”
Morgan smiled and nodded.
The forest can sprout again, indicating that the smell of evil corruption is beginning to subside.
In this case, with the help of the elves, the evil smell will subside faster.
Morgan can understand tarrell's joy.
The two continued to walk in the dense forest in the direction of the woodland kingdom.
On the next road, they found buds growing on the ground several times.
This happens more and more frequently in the north as they get closer to the forest.
Time passed slowly.
When the smell of corruption in the air began to disappear.
When the surrounding forest becomes lush again.
When the sky began to get dark.
In front of Morgan and tarrell, the figure of woodland Kingdom has appeared.
”Hoo...”
”It's finally coming.”
Morgan looked at the huge building in the dark ahead, took a long breath and said easily.
”Morgan...”
Tarrell turned his head, looked at the man beside him, and suddenly whispered, ”don't you blame me?”
”What's the matter...”
Morgan turned his head, looked at tarrell, smiled and fed the grass to the horse behind him.
”You told them to go to shire, but because of me...”
”Shh!”
