Chapter 43
Thinking of what Elrond had said to him, Bilbo's heart gradually began to shake, and he didn't know whether he should continue to follow the team.

Bilbo felt that he had no place in this expedition, that he could not fit in with the dwarves at all.

And now there is a new choice in front of him, that is to stay in Rivendell.

Just when Bilbo was hesitating, the expedition team had already started to set off. Walking to Gaoyuan at the end of the team, they found Bilbo standing there in a daze.

"What are you thinking about? The team has already set off, hurry up and follow." Gao Yuan picked up the blanket that Bilbo had dropped on the ground, patted the dust on it, and handed it to Bilbo.

Bilbo, who came back to his senses, quickly thanked Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan just smiled and said it was okay, and then strode towards the front line.

In the expedition team, apart from Gandalf, Bilbo has the best relationship with Gao Yuan.

Looking at Gao Yuan's back, Bilbo, who was hesitant to stay, seemed to see a life-saving straw.

The ridiculous thing is that he had always wanted to make friends with those dwarves, trying to integrate into the group of dwarves, but he didn't know that the only friend worthy of his making in this team was actually Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's strength is stronger than the dwarves in the expedition team, but he can respect everyone in the expedition team.

This is something those dwarves can't do, they have never respected themselves.

And when the dwarves of the expedition laughed at Bilbo, Gao Yuan always stood up in time to rescue him.

Gao Yuan has never underestimated him, even though he is timid, nervous and ignorant
He also always trusts him unconditionally.

In the woods of Hobbiton, only Gandalf and Gaoyuan in the expedition team truly believed in him and had the courage to take risks with them.

Bilbo's mind flashed through the bits and pieces of getting along with Gao Yuan in the previous adventures.

The originally vacillating heart finally made a decision at this time.

With the blanket under his arm, Bilbo desperately shook his big feet covered with thick curly hair, catching up with Gao Yuan's footsteps.

"I said... did we leave suddenly like this?"

"Why don't you say hello to the elves of Rivendell?"

"Gandalf...will he leave with us?"

Bilbo caught up, and a series of questions almost obscured Gao Yuan's question.

"Bilbo, everyone has different missions to complete, and it is impossible for a person to stay in one place forever." Gao Yuan sighed.

"I believe Lord Elrond will understand us."

"As for Gandalf, he just has some things to do. Just like last time in the Troll Forest, he will come back after all."

Gao Yuan and Bilbo walked at the end of the team, and Gao Yuan patiently explained to Bilbo.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Gao Yuan smiled and patted Bilbo on the shoulder.

Bilbo shrugged his shoulders: "You know I'll follow, Mr. Gaoyuan."

"Just like last time in the Hobbiton Grove, and you won Kili's twelve silver pieces for it."

Thinking of those twelve silver coins, Gao Yuan laughed happily. The twelve silver coins he won last time have not been spent yet.

"By the way, Mr. Gaoyuan, don't you say goodbye to your elf girlfriend?" Bilbo continued to ask.

Bilbo's question reminded Gao Yuan of the sweet kiss Arwen gave him when he said goodbye, and Gao Yuan's face was filled with a happy smile.

"It's not something you should worry about, Bilbo. It's not like you won't come back. After the adventure is over, if you like, you can come back here with me again, and Arwen and I will entertain you well." .”

"At that time, you can live as long as you want."

"Hurry up and follow." At this moment, Thorin, who was in front of the team, found Gao Yuan and Bilbo hanging on the tail of the team.

Gao Yuan patted Bilbo on the shoulder: "We have to hurry up."

Bilbo nodded, and he looked at the place where Gandalf and the others held their meeting. A ray of moonlight slanted on the dome of the hall, which looked very sacred.

The expedition left Rivendell without encountering any obstacles.

Except when they arrived at the square under Rivendell Hill and were about to leave Rivendell through the stone bridge without guardrails.

The expedition team met a group of elf patrol members led by Lindir. After Gao Yuan and Lindir explained the situation, Lindir released the expedition team.

The night passed quickly, when the Laurelin, the fruit of the golden sacred tree, slowly rose from the east, and the golden light shone on the valley where Rivendell stood.

The expedition is about to leave the valley where Rivendell is located along a rough mountain road in the valley.

"Everyone be vigilant, we are about to enter the edge of the Great Wilderness."

"Bahrain, you know the way, and you lead the way."

After speaking, Sorin glanced at the members of the expedition team following behind him, and confirmed that they all followed and did not fall behind.

At this time, the location of the expedition team was already very far away from Rivendell, but Rivendell could still be seen from a distance.

This is also the last place where Rivendell can be seen. After turning a corner ahead, they will completely leave the valley where Rivendell is.

Bilbo was at the end of the line, and he turned his head frequently as he was on his way, wanting to take a last look at the beautiful scenery of Rivendell.

The slow-moving Bilbo aroused Thorin's dissatisfaction: "Mr. Baggins, you'd better keep up."

Hearing Thorin's mocking tone and the polite address, Bilbo sighed helplessly, and turned his head reluctantly.

As the team continued to move forward, Rivendell behind him also slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Leaving Rivendell is only the first step of this dwarf team's journey to the Lonely Mountain, and the real adventure has just begun.

The Lonely Mountain Expeditionary Team entered the Great Wasteland immediately after walking out of the valley where Rivendell was located.

The members of the expedition team have just rested in Rivendell for two weeks, and all the members are in a very good state of mind.

But when they saw the endless wilderness and the misty mountains that connected the sky and the earth, they all fell into despair.

They have no horses! ! !

Their horses had all been lost in the troll attack.

From Rivendell, it takes four days to reach the High Pass on horseback.Gao Yuan took a look, the dwarves and Bilbo's short legs, I will give you a week, and you will not be able to reach the high pass.

There is no turning back when you open the bow, and the expedition team can only bite the bullet and hurry.

Across the barren mountains and wild ridges, across the snowy forest.

When the distraught members of the expedition came to the foot of the Misty Mountains, which are made up of exposed rocks.

At this time, about half a month had passed since they left Rivendell.

They will climb over the steep mountains of the Misty Mountains to the High Pass.

 Thanks to Huan Yu Ling Luo for the two monthly tickets.
