Chapter 86 Lonely Mountain, Lonely Mountain

Autumn has not yet left, and the cold winter can't wait to come to this great wilderness.

Obviously, yesterday's green forest was still a crisp autumn, but today the expedition team was covered with gloomy black clouds, and the weather began to turn cold.

"Looks like it's going to rain soon." Bilbo gestured at the dark clouds in the sky overhead.

Gao Yuan smiled: "It seems that our Bilbo may have forgotten that he should bring a raincoat when leaving the woodland kingdom."

"Yes, our Mr. Baggins, forgot to bring his raincoat." Bilbo imitated Gao Yuan's tone, and laughed at himself strangely.

"Hahaha!" The dwarves in the team burst out laughing upon hearing this.

After coming out of the Misty Mountains, the dwarves in the team would no longer laugh at Bilbo, so Bilbo began to learn to laugh at himself.

Early in the morning, everyone in the expedition team packed up their things and left the Woodland Kingdom, except the two brothers Kili and Fili.

Before the expedition set off, the dwarves and Bilbo in the expedition also tried to persuade Fili to leave with them, but he chose to stay.

Even if he couldn't witness the gate of Gushan being opened with his own eyes, he still had to be by his brother's side.

When the expedition team came to the shore of Long Lake along the dense forest river flowing between the green forest and the dense forest, the sun was almost setting.

On the edge of the long lake, there is a huge stone gate as steep as a cliff. This stone gate separates the humans living in the long lake from the elves in the green forest.

It had never occurred to Bilbo before that there were lakes in the world besides the sea with such a wide surface of water.

He couldn't even see where the other side of Long Lake was, what a distance that was, and Bilbo's eyesight was the best in the expedition.

To the north of Changhu Lake is the Benliu River flowing down from the lonely mountain. It and the Junglin River are both sources of water in Changhu Lake.

With the last afterglow of the setting sun, they saw from afar, the town floating in the middle of the Long Lake - Changhu Town.

But this time, the expedition team will no longer go to the town that had to be built in the middle of the lake in order to escape the dragon as in the original book.

On the way, they didn't meet the human hero Bard who was called the Dragon Slayer in later generations.

So even if they want to go to the small town in the center of the long lake, there is no boatman who can take them there.

They rested at the edge of the long lake for one night, and then headed towards the lonely mountain along the shore of the long lake.

After two days of rushing, they finally arrived at the mouth of the lake that connects the Benliu River and the Long Lake.

At this moment, they could already see that the lonely mountain shrouded in clouds and mist stood before their eyes.

There is the end of the expedition's journey full of ups and downs.

As the distance between them and the lonely mountain continued to shorten, the land in front of them gradually began to become more and more desolate.

"This used to be a land full of verdant green and full of vitality, but now it looks like this." Looking at this lifeless land, Sorin couldn't help recalling the scene when they just left the lonely mountain.

Bahrain couldn't help sighing: "The hillside here used to be full of trees, and there were birds singing everywhere in the woods."

Both Balin and Sorin were born and raised in the Lonely Mountain, and they still vaguely remember the scene of the Lonely Mountain being full of vitality.

The rest of the expedition team had never seen the scene they were talking about.But they could imagine from Sorin's description that this place was once full of life just like other places.

Today, the land here is so desolate that the only thing left are bare rocks and charred tree stumps.

Tell everyone about everything that used to be here. There used to be many shrubs and trees growing here.

At this time, it happened to be the season when all things withered, and they couldn't even find a little bit of green in their field of vision.

And all this, just because of the arrival of the evil dragon!
At this moment, a regular vibration came from the expedition team's feet.

"It's the sound of hooves." Bahrain was the first to react.

The people who noticed the abnormality quickly turned their heads and looked into the rocky slope under the hillside.

I saw a group of well-equipped cavalry rushing towards them.

"The elves of the woodland!" Bilbo, with his best eyesight, was happier than anyone present when he saw that the procession was elves of the woodland.

Gao Yuan looked proudly at Sorin who was still indifferent at this moment: "It's Legolas!"

Sorin and he looked at each other, and then snorted coldly: "It's not his father, don't make me change my opinion of them."

A troop of elven cavalry led by Legolas stopped in front of the expedition.

"You ran so fast that I almost missed you. Are you happy to see me?" Legolas walked up to Gao Yuan, and the two hugged affectionately.

Gao Yuan nodded: "It seems that what I said is still somewhat effective. Has your father changed his mind?"

Hearing this, Legolas looked a little helpless.

"I really want to tell you that I am here to help you because of my father's wishes."

"But unfortunately, this is my own decision."

"I secretly led an elf guard and ran out. The number is not too large, there are only more than 200 people. I hope I can provide you and the dwarves with a little help."

Gao Yuan shook his head: "Even if you come alone, I will be happy because of it. Thank you for coming to help us."

"This is what I should do. You have helped us, so we naturally want to help you."

"These are my close friends, and they are all very grateful to you for helping us resist the invading half-orcs last time." The two chatted, and Legolas took Gao Yuan to introduce him to the elves he brought. Soldier.

He pointed to an elf guard captain and said, "This is Seris, you should know his sister, the girl who invited you to dance with her that night but was rejected by you, her sister is Secia. "

Gao Yuan shook hands with the captain of the elf guard: "Nice to meet you, Sirius."

Seris grabbed Gao Yuan's hand solemnly: "I have to thank you, Mr. Gao Yuan, it was you who saved Cecia from the orc's clutches during the orc attack that night."

"Seccia has been thinking about you since then, and she regrets not having a dance with you that night," Sirius said.

Gao Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He had been watching the jokes between his sister and Bilbo that night.

"If it weren't for the fact that I already belonged, I would have agreed to the invitation to dance with your sister. Miss Secia, she is a beautiful girl, please convey my apologies to her."

"Indeed, how could such an excellent human being not have a girl he likes." Sirius secretly felt sorry for his sister.

"Then she must be a very beautiful girl."

"It's also very lucky." Sirius felt that beauty alone was not enough, and he added.

My younger sister was not so lucky.

"I should feel lucky."

Sirius' words reminded Gao Yuan of Arwen who was still far away in Rivendell at this time, and a trace of sweetness could not help but come to his heart.
