Chapter 198 (2/2)
His eyes kept looking at the four dark doors for a long time.
Gandalf suddenly said, ”I seem to have forgotten this place...”
The voice fell, and everyone was stunned.
Here Gandalf once came to Moria. If he forgot the way, everyone would have to be blind.
”What about that?”
Or the restless Pippin asked first.
”What else can I do? Get something to eat first. Maybe I can remember when I'm full.”
Gandalf turned and sat down on the dusty steps behind him.
They looked at each other, immediately put their carry on packages together, and then began to disperse and look for firewood that can be used to burn.
In half an hour.
”Crackle... Crackle...”
A big bonfire was burning in the hall.
There was a cooking pot on the campfire, and the soup rolled in the pot.
Sam is busy.
Next to the fire, the people sat around and were taking out their cigarette poles and smoking.
Gandalf sat a little far away with a cigarette stick in his mouth and looked at the four doors not far away without saying a word.
”Are we lost?”
”It should be...”
”No, Gandalf is thinking...”
”Where have all these orcs gone?”
”Who knows, it should be hiding.”
”But I wish all the orcs were dead...”
”Thick soup is OK.”
Sam took the pot and spoon, scooped some into the bowl, tasted it, and immediately said.
”Give me a bowl...”
”Give me a bowl, too...”
”I'll do it myself...”
”I still have some dried mutton here, but I like beef. Does anyone change it?”
”I'll trade with you. I like mutton.”
”Which of you has pork?”
”Who eats pork...”
”What about dried fruit? Who has left dried fruit?”
”It's long gone.”
”Morgan may have...”
A group of people chattered in front of the fire.
Morgan had just eaten all the way. After drinking three bowls of hot soup, his stomach was full.
He walked aside with a bowl of thick soup and was looking at Gandalf, who was meditating on the four stone gates.
”Here...”
Gandalf took the bowl, immediately put down his cigarette and began to drink.
Satisfied with a bowl of steaming thick soup, Gandalf put down the bowl and looked at the front stone gate again. His eyes immediately lit up: ”I think I know which road to take.”
ten minutes later.
The team is on its way again.
”I feel like I'm not full yet...”
”You just drank three bowls of thick soup...”
”Thick soup doesn't matter how full...”
”Then you go and talk to Gandalf and Morgan...”
”Forget it, I think it's almost the same...”
”After all, it's hard to eat too much, isn't it?”
“......”
Murmured merry and Pippin, two little hobbits.
Jinli suddenly asked, ”when is it now?”
”Is it dawn?”
”It must have been dawn long ago. I just don't know when.”
”We've been in for a long time.”
Legolas whispered next to him.
At the back of the line.
Aragorn, who walked behind Morgan, seemed to notice something and suddenly turned to look back.
”You see that, too?”
Morgan turned to Aragon and said.
”Didn't see what it was...”
Aragorn nodded and looked at Morgan: ”when did you find it?”
”Not long ago.”
Morgan looked back into the darkness and whispered.
”Do you know what that is?”
Looking at Morgan's discretionary expression, Aragon spoke again.
Morgan nodded, ”well, if I'm not mistaken, Gulu should be behind us.”
”Gollum?”
Aragon looked surprised.
”Yes.”
Morgan nodded again. ”I just don't know when that guy came up.”
Everyone on the expedition was talking to each other.
A long time in the depressed dark underground boring way.
People's words also seem to have changed more.
However, everyone knew that they were in the depths of the dangerous Moria mine and kept their voice to a minimum.
Time passed slowly.
The team moved on tirelessly.
In this dark underground world, I don't know how long it has been.
Gandalf, who led the way in front of the team, looked around and suddenly made a voice: ”I've been here.”
”I take a risk to make the light shine again and let you see the dwarf's masterpiece.”
Gandalf said to himself and blew the magic stone inlaid on the top of the blowing staff again.
I saw that the original weak light immediately became much brighter.
Gandalf then held the staff high so that the light could shine wider and farther.
Then, the following members found that not far from the people, there were huge stone pillars that needed two or three adult human men to hold together.
Each huge stone pillar is at least more than sixty or seventy meters high.
Each stone pillar is carved with various exquisite reliefs.
These huge stone pillars are horizontal, vertical, neat and symmetrical. One stands every few meters and extends to the dark front. There is no end at all.
The expedition was as small as an ant standing in it.
”Look, this is the magnificent dwarf hometown, Moria!”
Gandalf raised his luminous staff and whispered.
The members of the expedition behind him were stunned.
Even Morgan, even Jinli, the hometown of Turin dwarfs, has seen Blue Mountain and solitary mountain erebo.
Looking at the magnificent buildings in several Hometown I had seen before, I felt heartfelt amazement.
These buildings, even if they are built on the ground, are amazing.
Besides, it is built in this deep underground world.
As long as you think about the difficulty of building these buildings, you can imagine the glory of the dwarf kingdom of Moria.
”It's incredible...”
”It's a miracle...”
”If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such a magnificent building would be built under such a deep underground...”
”It's really eye opening...”
People marveled and walked on the magnificent and broad stone pillar square.
In half an hour.
Just as the crowd was about to pass through this magnificent building complex.
Just when Morgan thought he would pass through Moria unharmed.
Just then.
”Roar...”
A low, trembling, terrible roar suddenly came from the end of the huge stone pillar on one side.
