Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings
Chapter 163
Chapter 163
Faramir carefully followed behind the group of people. His dark gray cloak perfectly blended his figure with the shadows that could be seen everywhere in the alley, and his steps were light, barely making a sound.
In addition, the rare night without moonlight also gave him great cover, so that the four villains and highwaymen that Aratu and Noratu had seen at the Prancing Horse Inn did not notice that they were being followed .
They cursed and dragged the purchased food and beer in a cart, and swaggered out through the gate on the east side of Bree. The guards didn't even dare to ask too much.
For these gangsters had knives and horns hanging from their waists, and their squinting eyes were full of fierceness.
And, most importantly, the guards knew that these villains might also have ties to their boss.
"I always feel that life will not be peaceful." A guard complained to his colleagues: "Nowadays, even these bandits and bandits can swagger in and out of the town, making people who live an honest and peaceful life frightened."
The guard had a red wine nose, was neither tall nor short, and wore a half-worn leather armor on his unfit upper body.Underfoot is a pair of black boots.
"Shut up, Red-nosed Hasni." The colleague said: "The boss and their leaders often drink together. If you don't want to lose this job, just stand at your post honestly. We don't care about other things, and we don't care about them." Ability management."
But Hasni still muttered to vent his dissatisfaction, saying that the roads in the south have become more dangerous, and there are fewer merchants, which caused his "tips" to decrease.He also said that someone was robbed somewhere, and blood was seen. "Let me tell you, we should have joined the command of His Majesty in the north long ago. At least we have his protection. There will never be days like these frightening days!" Hasni complained with a rosy nose.
"Bree has never been ruled by a 'king'." said the colleague: "The elders of Archet, Coombe, and Stador rule this area, even if the kings are still alive. The age has not changed! "
"They won't allow a 'king' to suddenly fall from above." The guard seemed to feel that just standing was boring, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "It's better to be free than to be paid by the king." How well did the legal bondage come? Humph, I heard that far to the east of the big mountain in the east, across the legendary palace of the Elf King, the former Long Lake Town elected a king, but look at their days How are you doing? I heard from a nephew of my cousin's nephew's friend a while ago: Rovanian is more chaotic, those guys from the east who ride in chariots and River Valley City——
Hmph, those guys in Changhu Town and the king of the mountain broke out many wars, and their king even died in battle. Humans fled into the dwarf kingdom under the legendary mountain, like stray dogs. "
"And those guys riding horses in the south almost lost their king's residence, and those legendary noble people even died of their king. Their life is not as good as ours!"
Hasni's eyes widened in surprise, and his big red nose became more vivid in the dim light of the fire: "Really? I said why are there fewer merchants coming from the east and south."
The timid guard seemed to have really seen all kinds of cruel and violent aliens speaking different languages, wielding swords and crossbows, and driving a huge carriage, rushing towards him, he couldn't help but tremblingly said: "Oh my god God, this is too scary. How could this world become like this."
"Hmph." The guard who was more informed raised his chin proudly, as if he was very proud of this kind of thing, he said: "So, compared with them, those small-time robbery and so on are not at all. Worth mentioning."
He glanced at the terrified red-nosed Hasney, and said in a low voice: "And we're hiding in the town, they can't do anything about us. Our captain has contact with their leader, and they won't attack Bree... Who!"
The vigilant guard of this tongue-in-cheek was actually pretty good, and he nervously pointed his spear in the direction of the town.Hasni also hurriedly looked towards the darkness.
Faramir stepped out of the shadows, his face hidden under a hood. "I. A wandering wretch." He held up his hands in a sign of harmlessness.
But the guard was still surprised and asked with a trace of guard: "Why are you still hanging out so late? Can't the food and beer at the Prancing Horse Inn make you nostalgic?"
But Faramir walked over quickly, casually, but said with a hint of incredulity: "The stars are good tonight, I just want to go for a walk, as for where to go, I don't think it has anything to do with you."
"It doesn't matter if it's us, sir, but we'll have to ask anyway," said the guard.It's more dedicated than interrogating those roadblockers before.
"You have asked now, then," said Faramir.His hands began to be put on his waist, and the aura of rushing over from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood rushed towards his face. "Now, open the door, guard."
Hasni and his companions couldn't help but took a step back, and said in fear: "Okay, sir. This is only our responsibility, please don't blame."
They opened the closed door, and their attitude became more submissive than ever.
Faramir could hardly contain a snort.only……
The sharpness in Faramir's eyes dissipated, and he quickly walked out through the thick log gate.The bonfire next to the guard post illuminated his cheeks slightly.
Suddenly, Faramir stopped, turned back and said to the guard: "Maybe my companions will come to me after a while. If possible, I hope you can tell me that I am heading northeast."
"Of course." Hasni and his companion nodded hurriedly. "My lord."
Only then did Faramir quickly and secretly escape into the shadows of the wild.
He was no longer the prince of Gondor, and this was not his beloved old home, and he had no choice but to sigh secretly for the guard's neglect of duty.
After confirming that the mysterious and frightening wanderer had left, Hasney and his companions breathed a sigh of relief, "The direction he said." Hasney hesitated and couldn't help but say.
"Shut up," snapped the companion. "Do your job, Hasni, you've given us enough trouble with your tongue tonight, don't let me hear another word from you."
"But you obviously talked more than me." Hasni with the red nose said aggrievedly.
The companion almost wanted to give him a blow on the head.
In fact, they all knew what the mysterious rover said in the direction.The wayward robbers, thugs, and bandits who had brought food and drink had left in the northeast direction.
Reminiscent of the amazing aura of the mysterious wanderer, Bree's east gate guards always feel that they have got into a big trouble.
They stood restlessly for a while.As a result, three unexpected people were ushered in again.
"Gentlemen, perhaps you have seen a man in a cloak go out from here. He is my companion. Can you tell me which direction he is going?"
The tall man wearing the same style of cloak as the previous wanderer hid his face under the hood. Hasni and his companions only saw the bushy beard under his chin and the sword under their cloak.
"He went to the northeast." The companion replied quickly, and Hasni opened the door obsequiously.
"He didn't lie." No.2 said the mysterious guest in a cloak. His voice was almost the most beautiful that Hasni and his companions had ever heard. It seemed to possess magical powers, and it was as if the stars were flowing. People couldn't help but stop and listen. .
As a result, Hasni and his companions knew almost immediately that they were extremely noble people, and they might even be legendary elves.
They bowed their heads in fear, and said, "The Bree may be foolish and greedy, but they will never lie to you and your companions."
But at that time, Aratu didn't look at them again.Because he found that the hearts of the people here are mostly filled with money and lies. Maybe occasionally they will find out their conscience, but they will eventually degenerate into sex.But he won't reject them either, he just doesn't love them that much.
Yes.
They were Aratu, Noratu, and Boromir who followed closely behind.
After that night, the twins also roughly told their stories. They claimed that they were out for fun, but there was a slight deviation from the planned route.But Boromir and Faramir, who have been experienced in life for more than ten years, easily guessed the truth hidden by the young princes.
But they didn't reveal it.
Because they don't know whether this is allowed by His Majesty.Boromir simply said: "It is folly to act recklessly and thoughtlessly, my lord. The wild is far more dangerous than the elves' tales say."
"Maybe. But we can protect ourselves." Noratu said, his young face full of vigor.He urged Boromir and his brother to do him a favor, "I heard a dangerous name at the Prancing Horse, Ko Harmur!"
He said: "If the people of Gondor still remember this name, they should know that this is one of Sauron's minions."
A gleam of sadness flashed in the piercing eyes of the brothers, and they thought of their grandfather.Thinking of it, the depravity of the Hurin family most likely stemmed from one of the nine human precepts—Exelion was dead, and Adrasir’s oath ended in another way, and he told his brother the truth of the matter Only two, Boromir and Faramir knew that their family still had such a dark history.
"Yes, we remember." Boromir said sadly: "There has always been a record of Nazgul in the royal scrolls. One of the enemies who hunted us down was a black knight, but I'm not sure if he It's Kohamur."
"Ordinary humans will not know this name. Their short lives prevent them from recording the history of a long time ago. The only possibility is that they are all Sauron's minions." The young Noratu became serious, but there was a difficult expression on his face The majesty of the words, "We need to know what conspiracy they have."
"But human towns have many eyes and ears. If we attack them here, we will definitely attract the attention of the black knight." Aratu said.
Faramir thought for a while and said, "We can lure them into the wild, or follow them quietly when they leave Bree. I have a hunch that our conversation will definitely alarm the enemies in the shadows, because they can speak Elvish." There are not many humans."
When Aratu and Noratu heard this, they immediately understood that the sons of Denethor were advising them, intending to make them act more cautiously in the future.
The twins were grateful and delighted, and they said, "This is the kind words of a wise man, which is not what a true friend would say."
But the plan had gone slightly awry, and the enemy was more alert than they had expected.That night the rascals left Bree.
But fortunately, their stronghold does not seem to be far from here.Because the next day, Faramir found some sneaky people coming to buy rations of food and wine.
Therefore, among them, Faramir, who had the most experience in tracking and stealth, followed immediately - Aratu and Noratu were still too young, and they were temporarily unable to do this job.
Following the marks left by Faramir and the flickering wheel marks on the ground, they traced to the east of Bree Hill - Bree-hill is an important landmark in the Bree area, and many large villages Built on its hillside.To the southwest is Bree, the principal town of the region, famous for its Prancing Horse Inn.To the southeast is The Stadow, populated mostly by hobbits who practice light farming, and the tobacco they grow is popular.
Behind a jungle, they found Faramir who had been lurking for a long time.
Faramir pointed to a cave on the col and said to them: "Their stronghold is in the mountain, and there is only one path leading to the cave above, and the entrance of the cave is guarded. It is almost difficult not to disturb them."
Aratu and Noratu looked up, only to see a two-person-high and three-person-wide cave glowing with fire among the dark mountains, and thieves' slang and rude curses could be heard endlessly inside.
The two guards with scimitars, bows and arrows stood boredly at the entrance of the cave, their eyes turned around, and their ears were pricked up, listening to the happy eating and drinking of their companions inside.
"How many are they?" asked Boromir.
"Seventy or more," said Faramir. "The cave is so deep that I cannot see all of them, but from the food they procured, I know there must be quite a few of them."
"I can't feel the breath of the black knight, he's not here." Noratu closed his eyes, listened carefully to the sound in the wind, stroked a small tree next to him, and said, "The trees here are all here. Said, did not see those horrible shadows."
Boromir and the others were surprised, but thinking that the twins had inherited half of the elven blood, it seemed reasonable.
"Then we'd better not waste time." Aratu said, "I have a hunch that the enemy has been alarmed, and he must have acted ahead of time!"
"Then that's it!" The silver-haired Noratu pulled out his sword Ringil, "I hope the enemy chiefs here know their whereabouts and purpose."
He bravely rushed up the path.
And behind him, the other twin drew his sword and followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Boromir and Faramir could only rush forward.Just at this time, a large cloud floated in the sky, covering the hills even more deeply.
The twins' footsteps were as nimble as deer, and they ran swiftly and lightly, and the path of the mountain stream could hardly hinder them.And the dark night gave them a natural cover, and the guards above didn't notice them in the first place.
By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
"Enemy attack." The guard with the bow and arrow shouted.Faramir drew a sharp arrow from his quiver as he ran, and shot him dead.The remaining guard turned around in horror and was about to flee.
But at this time, Noratu had already rushed up the mountain, and Ringier, who was as beautiful as a cold star and had a shining blade, chopped off the head of the fleeing guard with a sword.
Elder brother Aratu opened his mouth to the cave, and there was a brilliant dragon flame!
As a result, a shrill scream suddenly sounded, startling countless flying birds.
Boromir and Faramir stopped abruptly to avoid being accidentally injured.
