Chapter 26 Gandalf Leaving
As the saying goes, Wangshan is a dead horse.

Counting from the day when Gaoyuan saw the Cangquan River in the forest, the expedition team drove along the edge of the East-West Avenue, and it took another two days before they finally reached the bank of the Cangquan River.

After crossing the last bridge, they came to the radiating range of the Misty Mountains, divided by the Cangquan River, where the climate characteristics and topography have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Most of the west of Cangquan River is dominated by plains, while on the east bank of Cangquan River, you will find hills and peaks everywhere.

The sky was getting dark, and at this time the expedition team had come to the edge of the famous Troll Forest, and there was a cabin on the hillside that was burned down at unknown time.

It can be seen that there used to be a happy family living here, but for some reason, this once warm little home has become what it is today.

I don't know what the fate of the family who used to live here is now.

Thorin wandered around the cabin for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, he ordered the dwarves to set up camp.

"We'll camp here tonight."

"Fili, Kili, take care of our horses and make sure they don't get lost."

The dwarves dismounted one after another and began to prepare for camp.

Gao Yuan, Bilbo and Gandalf entered the burned cabin, and Gandalf looked around in the cabin.

"What ever happened here?" Bilbo wondered why there was a burned hut here.

Gao Yuan was not surprised by what happened here.

"It's the trolls, and we're at the edge of the troll forest, Bilbo."

"The trolls used to stay on the mountain, but now they often come down from the mountain and attack the villages on the edge of the troll forest."

"Then why, I mean, the villagers who were attacked by trolls, why don't they go to live somewhere else?" Bilbo wondered.

Gandalf's staff hit the ground heavily: "They have left here and will never return"

He walked out of the house with his staff, and went directly to Thorin.

"Sorin, it's not safe here, I think we should move on."

"I think we shall be able to make it to Rivendell before night falls."

Thorin's face darkened when he heard Gandalf's call, and he walked towards Gandalf.

"I think I should have made it clear to you a few days ago, Gandalf."

"I will never go near that place."

Gandalf was angry at Thorin's stubbornness. The elves and dwarves of Rivendell didn't have any hatred. Why didn't he want to go there for help?
"Why? The elves will help us. Rivendell can supplement our food. There is a safe environment there, allowing us to rest for a while. The elves can also give you some valuable advice."

"Look at your dwarf brothers and friends, they've been worn out all this time."

Gandalf pointed to the dwarves who were busy outside, and it could be seen that they all looked very tired at this time.

Gao Yuan and the two saw Thorin and Gandalf arguing, he shook his head and pushed Bilbo out of the hut.

Even after walking out of the wooden house, Gao Yuan could still hear the quarrel between Thorin and Gandalf from inside.

"We dwarves have long been used to all this. We never need the help of elves. We can rest wherever we go." Thorin shouted angrily inside.

"I don't even need those hypocritical elves to give me some so-called advice, no need!"

"You don't need to go to Rivendell, but you need someone to interpret the hidden information on the map of Lonely Mountain for you." Gandalf persuaded patiently.

"On this continent, the few people who can understand this map are currently in Rivendell. Lord Elrond can provide you with some help in interpreting the information on the map."

Sorin sneered disdainfully.

"Help? Did the elves keep their word and help the homeless dwarves when Smaug raided the Lonely Mountain?"

"Did the elves help us when the orcs took over the mines of Moria and cut off my grandfather's head and carved the name of the blasphemer?"

"They've been sitting on the sidelines."

"And you now send me to those who betrayed my grandfather and the dwarves."

Gandalf shook his head in disappointment. The Thorin he knew before was not what he is now.

"Rivendell has nothing to do with your family and tribe, and the suffering they have suffered."

"I didn't give you the map and the key to make you obsessed with the past."

It was fine that Gandalf didn't mention the map and the key, but when he mentioned this, Thorin became furious.

Thorin raised his head and looked at Gandalf fiercely.

"But they are all elves, and the elves all look the same. Don't mention the map and the key anymore. They should belong to me. You just took them from my father and kept them."

Thorin's words completely disappointed Gandalf, and he felt that he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

Gandalf turned coldly and left the hut.

Bilbo, Gao Yuan and other dwarves who were preparing for camping all cast their eyes on Gandalf and watched him walk out of the cabin with a cold face.

Gao Yuan was familiar with the plot, so he naturally knew why Gandalf came out so angry, so he didn't speak.

Although Bilbo didn't look very smart, he also knew what had happened between the two of them in the wooden house. Judging by Gandalf's expression, it was obvious that the conversation between the two was not pleasant.

He hurried forward to care for Gandalf.

"Are you all right, Gandalf?"

Gandalf, who was in a state of anger, ignored Bilbo's concern, but walked out on his own.

"Where are you going?" Bilbo called eagerly.

Gandalf shouted angrily: "I need to calm down, Mister Baggins, I've had enough of stubborn dwarves today."

Everyone stared blankly at Gandalf's leaving back.

"Hurry up Pangbo, everyone is hungry, prepare dinner early." Thorin also walked out of the wooden house with a cold face, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Yuan who was standing beside Bilbo.

Gao Yuan felt Sorin's gaze, touched his nose, and stared at him unabashedly.

Hey boy!

Don't mess with me, be careful that I won't let you down.

At the right time, Bilbo's voice sounded behind Gao Yuan.

"Will he come back?"

Gao Yuan spread his hands.

"He will come back, just a little later, just like Gandalf trusts you, you have to trust that he is not the kind of person who gives up halfway."
