The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 40 Moon Essay

Elrond was obviously very interested in the secret hiding method recorded on the map, and he tried over and over again to figure out the principle of this hiding method.

Gandalf looked at Elrond who was studying, and he asked with some uncertainty: "Master Elon, I heard that you have been studying Sindarin?"

"The Sindarin language on this map tells me that the secrets hidden in this map are recorded in moon characters." Elrond said with a serious expression.

Gandalf's eyes lit up when he heard Elrond mentioning the moon writing, he should have thought of it earlier: "Moon writing, so that's it"

Bilbo and Sorin looked at Gao Yuan when they heard the words, Gao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, Gandalf said, you go ask him, what do you want me to do?
With a sigh, Gao Yuan began to explain to them: "Even if you know that this is the moon script, it is useless. This is a script created by the dwarves to convey secret information."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan looked at Suo Lin strangely, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious: You, a dwarf born, don't know the moon script?
Yo, the traditional craftsmanship is lost.

"They cannot be read directly. They can only be seen when the moonlight shines from behind the words. They will only be displayed under the same season and moon shape as the day these words were written." Gao Yuan continued.

"However, the text that records the date written in this moon text is also in Sindarin, so you are destined to be unable to avoid the help of the elves."

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Sorin couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Elrond cast a glance at Gao Yuan.

"It is recorded on it that these moon characters were written 200 years ago, on the night of the summer solstice, when the new moon rose." Elrond took the map to a moonlit terrace, There is a stone platform that can reflect the moonlight.

He spread out the map on the stone platform: "It seems that you are destined to come to Rivendell. You are very lucky, Thorin Oakenshield. It happens to be the summer solstice tonight, the weather looks good, and the new moon is just now. rising."

At this time, the clouds floating above the Misty Mountains slowly dispersed, and a ray of moonlight shone on the stone platform in front of Elrond. The moonlight reflected on the stone platform passed through the back of the map, and the moon characters on the map appeared. out.

Sorin and others surrounded the stone platform one after another.

"Stand by the gray rock, and when the thrush beats, the setting sun, with the afterglow of Durin's day, will shine on the keyhole." Elrond read the information recorded in the moon writing on the map .

"Day of Durin?" asked Bilbo.

Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, and he explained to Bilbo: "It is the Dwarves' New Year, when the last moon and sun of autumn will appear in the sky at the same time."

Sorin said: "This is bad news, summer is coming to an end, this year's Day of Durin (October 10) will come soon."

At this time, Balin stood up and said: "No, we still have time."

Bilbo was very puzzled. They were not too far away from the Lonely Mountain at this time. They had enough time to reach the Lonely Mountain. Why did they not have enough time?
"What time?"

"When looking for the entrance, we need to stand in the right place at the exact time. Only then can we find the keyhole and open the door to the Lonely Mountain Dungeon." Balin explained.

Bilbo still didn't understand, he looked at Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan curled his lips, do you think I'm an encyclopedia, kid?

"The Lonely Mountain is very large, and it has six branches. We need to find the exact location of the door among these six branches."

The members of the Lonely Mountain Expedition knew that time was running out for them, but they were not in a hurry to leave Rivendell.

After more than a month's long journey, they have been in the wilderness and kept vigilant all the time. Everyone was exhausted.

As Gandalf said, they need to rest in Rivendell for a period of time. The quiet and peaceful Rivendell provides a rare opportunity for the members of the expedition to relax. out of mind.

Of course, this does not include the heir to the throne of the King of the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield.

Even when he arrived in Rivendell, he still didn't let go of the burden on his shoulders, always looking worried.

After Elrond interpreted the map of Lonely Mountain for him that day, Sorin found Gao Yuan alone, and he returned the contract signed by Gao Yuan to Gao Yuan's hands.

Before leaving, Sorin only said a word to Gao Yuan: "Mr. Gao Yuan, I have never distrusted you. You are one of the people I trust the most besides Gandalf."

Elrond has sent a notice to the members of the White Council to hold the Holy White Council again.

Saruman complained, but he still wrote back that he would come to Rivendell soon, and Galadriel was already on his way from Lothlorien.

Gao Yuan and Arwen cherish this short time together, and they are almost inseparable in Rivendell.

Bilbo always wandered in every corner of Rivendell alone. Although he felt very comfortable here, he always felt a little out of place here.

The dwarves had their own way of life, and it was difficult for Bilbo to fit in.

Gandalf is always mysterious, most of the time no one knows where Gandalf is.

And Gao Yuan and Arwen are spending the two-person world together, and Bilbo is too embarrassed to bother.

That afternoon, he wandered around in Rivendell again, and came to the hall where the fragment of Nasher's holy sword was placed.

He saw the broken Nasher holy sword, and the famous mural of "Battle of the Last Alliance". The evil Lord Sauron was holding up the weapon in his hand, ready to kill Essie lying on the ground Duo, he only has a broken sword in his hand.

Just as Bilbo was admiring the ring on Sauron's hand in the mural, a voice suddenly came from behind Bilbo.

"Sometimes it's not a good thing to be curious, Bilbo."

Startled by the sudden sound, Bilbo turned sharply to see a tall figure in an elvish cloak standing in the shadow of a pillar he had not noticed just now.

"Mr. Gao Gaoyuan, what are you doing here?" Bilbo stammered a little guilty. "I thought you and your Princess Arwen were having a...you know."

Gao Yuan couldn't help chuckling, he stood up from the fence, the hobbit's height barely reached his chest.

"Arwen went out to collect, and it's not convenient for me to follow. I'm reading here, only here I can't hear the noise of the dwarves."

Gao Yuan walked up to the fragments of Nasir's holy sword, picked up the broken sword, and then came to the mural, making an action similar to that of Isildur.

"Tell me about you, Bilbo, why did you appear here?" Gao Yuan asked.

"You know, Mr. High, the dwarves don't seem too fond of me joining them, and I can't find out where Gandalf is," Bilbo explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt your reading."

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, Bilbo, why don't you try to make friends with the elves? They are the real masters here. After getting in touch with them, maybe you will like them."

Bilbo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, why didn't he think of it.

"You're right, Mr. Gao Yuan, I think I should try to make friends with the elves here." Bilbo decided to leave here to talk to an elf friend, so he wouldn't disturb Gao Yuan's reading here.

　Ah, I thought it would be recommended on Monday, but I didn't expect it to be recommended today.

　　Ask for recommendation, ask for collection
