The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

When a hobbit was brought into the team, the time spent on the road inevitably increased. Even though Bilbo knew that the time for this journey was tight and he worked very hard, his speed just couldn't increase.

In the end, Allen and his friends rode a horse together, and the hobbit's mount carried the owner's belongings and ran wildly behind the team, barely staying in the team.

However, the journey from Shire to Mithlond is very short, probably less than one-third of the journey to Rivendell, but it only takes a few days at most.

Soon, the team passed by White Hill, where the actual capital of the Shire, Great Cave Town, was located, and Bilbo's mithril chain mail was stored in a mason house on the hillside, which is equivalent to the Hobbit A museum among people.

One museum is worth more than the entire Shire.

Allen and others did not stay here too long, and quickly crossed the border of the Shire along the East Avenue. After a day or two, they saw three white towers standing on a hill, which was the outpost of the Linton elves. tower.

It is said that the tallest white tower on the hill is called Eros Tirion, and houses Palantir, known as the Elendil spar. It can see the scenery of Valinor. If there is a chance, Allen would like to go Take a look.

But this definitely needs the approval of many big guys, because even if you eat the biscuit recipe passed down by Valinor, people will want to go to that paradise.

Take a look at this?Who knows what will happen.

When a group of people arrived here, it was already dusk, the shining stars slowly appeared in the sky, and to the west of the hills was the boundless sea.

"Let's rest here for one night. If nothing unexpected happens, we can arrive at Gray Harbor tomorrow."

After saying this, Allen looked at Bilbo and said: "Would you like to go for a walk on the hills? Although we can also see the sea after arriving at Gray Harbor, the landscape is completely different when we look down from a high place. .”

Bilbo readily agreed to the invitation. Perhaps the distance between the Shire and the sea was not that far, but he had never been here. In other words, most of the hobbits had never walked so far to the west. The team was in The green hills we passed in the early morning were already the boundaries of the Shire.

Perhaps because it was close to the sea, the wind on the tower hill had a slight salty smell. The group of people climbed up along the hilly path, and Hermione and the Twilight Knights also followed.

Yes, the Noldor elves in Pendor were also children of the sea. Their past home was an island, and they were born with a longing for the sea.

The path leading to the top of the hill was extremely narrow, barely enough for one or two people to pass through. The path was lined with grass that had begun to turn yellow. After walking for more than ten minutes, everyone suddenly became enlightened.

Luen Bay is very quiet at night, reflecting the stars in the sky like a mirror. White clouds are floating in the wind, and under the clouds is the gray harbor dotted with lights. That is Allen's goal at this time.

Looking at such a quiet scenery, Allen suddenly felt a desire in his heart. He wanted to go to the sea and explore the other side of the sea, the legendary Valinor that was always beautiful and full of joy.

This thought surged in my heart like a wave, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

"The stars are bright and the white clouds are floating."

"The sea is as calm as a mirror."

"Whoever is waiting and watching, whose heart is like a wave."

"Sail on a long journey, ride the wind and chop the waves."

"The legend begins with a single step, and the departure starts now."

"."

This was what Bilbo was feeling, and he was singing loudly.

But as if in response, from the road under the hills came the chorus of many voices,
"The land of Zhongzhou is like a dense forest."

"Ah, Elberith, Gilsoniel."

"The eyes are clear and the aura is brilliant."

"."

It was a group of elves that emitted a faint light in the night, and they sang songs praising Varda, Queen of the Stars.

Bilbo stopped singing and asked hesitantly: "Ellen, this singing is beautiful, why do I feel so sad?"

Allen looked at the team of elves on the road, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "These are the elves from the Glen. At this time, they are about to leave their homeland where they have lived for thousands of years and prepare to go to Valinor. This This continent is becoming increasingly unsuitable for them to live.”

"What do you mean this place is becoming less and less suitable for them to live in?" Bilbo's words were full of questions.

"Bilbo, I don't want to talk about this now. I just want to eat something and have a good sleep. When we are wandering on the sea, we will have plenty of time to tell those stories that are very far away and not many people remember them anymore."

The group of people did not disturb the elves who were preparing to leave home, but watched them walk towards the Gray Harbor. After the elves disappeared from sight, everyone immediately walked down the hill and prepared to camp.

After a while, the flames lit up, and the aroma of dinner was everywhere. This was all thanks to the hobbits in the team. Perhaps, having such an excellent chef at sea is also a great thing. things.

Early the next morning, when the sun had just crossed the Misty Mountains, the team set off again. The group of people rode down the hills along the road and soon arrived at Gray Harbor in Luen Fjord.

When they arrived at the gate, someone had already come to greet them. It was actually the shipbuilder Chirdan. He looked at the guests who had come from afar, as if he already knew everything, and said with a smile: "I know your reason for coming. , and everything is ready.”

In Allen's extremely surprised eyes, Childan also looked at Bilbo and said: "For this guest, I have a pertinent suggestion. It is better to stay here for a while and wait for the return of my friend, Mislond I’ll treat you well.”

Now it was the hobbit's turn to be surprised. He looked at the tall Childan, and then at Alan standing next to him. He struggled for a long time, and finally Bilbo shook his head and refused. The kindness of the Lord of Gray Harbor.

"It's not that I don't want to stay in this beautiful place, it's just that I would rather go on a journey with my friends than be a guest in your home. I hope you can understand."

Although he was rejected, Childan still had a smile on his face, as if he had already guessed the result.

"I understand."

Then, he led everyone to the port, where a pure white ketch was docked. About ten Linton elves were busy on it. The leader was Gal, who had a relationship with Allen. many.

"Alan, I know you have a lot of questions, but it's not time to answer them yet. This ship will help you get to your destination. Without further ado, let's set off as soon as possible. After a while, it will be winter. That It’s best not to wander around the sea during this time of year.”

Facing Allen's confused eyes, Childan did not give any explanation, but instead sent the group to the ship.

Soon the sail was raised, and it left the port under the blow of the sea wind, heading towards the mouth of Luen Bay.

After Allen came back to his senses, he looked at Chierdan who was watching him at the port. He had no idea what was going on. His originally prepared excuses and his plan to learn to drive a sea ship in Gray Port were all invalidated at this moment. .

Faced with such strange behavior, Allen's heart was filled with fog-like doubts.

He didn't think anything of what he was greeted at the door today.

Because the elves who were on their way last night had obviously spotted their group, and the elves' eyes were so sharp, maybe someone in the team recognized their identity and told Cirdan.

Moreover, there were elves stationed on the tower. Maybe they returned overnight and told Lord Linton.However, Allen did not send anyone to inform Childan in advance of his plan to go to sea. There was only one person who even said that he knew about it, and that was Bilbo Baggins, who was standing next to him holding a piece of bread and playing with seagulls. .

Even Hermione was only given the order to wait in the Shire.

If it was the Hobbit who told Childan all this, Alan would never believe it, because Bilbo couldn't do it, even if the ring had such a function, but Bilbo couldn't, he didn't use the Supreme Lord of the Rings the power of.

Allen thought about it for a long time on the boat, and only a possibility appeared vaguely in his mind.

Perhaps, while I was chatting and drinking with Bilbo, someone happened to be observing everything that happened in Bag End, and happened to hear about the plan to go to sea, and then relayed all this to Chirdan who was stationed in Gray Harbor.

Let this extremely old elf help him prepare everything.

Alan broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. As far as he knew, among the many Valar, Varda, Queen of the Stars, could hear voices in every corner of the world.

And Ulmo, Lord of the Waters, can also know everything that happens in Middle-earth through the streams and rivers, if he wants.

But, is he really worthy of Vera’s help?

Allen fell into confusion again, and was it really a good thing that he was being noticed by these great beings?

Perhaps these big guys were just planning to take a look at Bilbo?After all, his hobbit friend is most likely the protagonist of Middle-earth in this period? .

For this reason, Allen fell into deep thought, and in the following days, he also lost the mood to chat with his friends.

Even though Bilbo really wanted to know what happened a long time ago, Alan couldn't bring up any interest.

He was thinking about why the great being did this, and finally, an idea came to Allen's mind.

perhaps?Could it be that his actions have been affirmed?That's why I'm treated like this.

Allen thinks there is such a possibility! !His pair of eyes that can see through the underworld were given by Varda.

From this point of view, it seems that I don't need to worry too much about anything.

Allen, who wanted to understand everything, felt better instantly and began to focus most of his energy on sailing.

Unfortunately, there isn't much that he needs to do. He just needs to put a little more force on the sail when the wind direction is wrong to ensure the sailing speed.

The people of Falas are in love with the sea, and all their knowledge about the sea comes from Maia "Osi", a subordinate of the King of the Seas, who controls the sea wind.

The sea is their favorite place and a place they are familiar with.

The clouds rise and fall, the sun turns and the stars move. Amidst the calls of seagulls and the songs of elves, the cold sea breeze blows the white sails. The elves control the white ships and sail quickly on the rippling sea. Yesterday, , this sailing ship has passed by Himling.

There used to be a large flat treeless hill. With the sinking of Beleriand, the remaining mountain top area became an island with a fortress abandoned for thousands of years. It was where the Noldor elves once besieged Morgoth. The defense line is part of the siege of Angband.

If he were not in a hurry, Allen would even want to take Bilbo up there for a visit to see the forgotten history of this world.

Because after sailing on the sea for a long time, especially after the initial freshness has passed, the surrounding environment is only the boundless sea and the unchanging sky.

Although the elves seemed to enjoy it and could feel happiness from the sea wind and waves, Alan and Bilbo did not have this talent, and they were beginning to get tired of it.

Especially Bilbo, who began to suffer from seasickness on the second day on board the ship.

"Finally, the powerful and evil Melkor, Morgoth Bogliel, was pulled out from the ground by many great powers and driven out of this world. At this time, he may be imprisoned in the realm of emptiness, which caused all this The three extremely beautiful and extremely precious Silmarils, the source of the disaster, each have their own destinations. One is in the sky, one is at the bottom of the ocean, and the other is in the flames at the core of the world. .”

In the end, Allen couldn't resist Bilbo, who had been pleading, and simply told the story that happened a long time ago.

But even if it is very brief, it still took several days, because there were so many things that happened during that period, and the characters worth mentioning were like crucian carp crossing the river.

Even the elves who were concentrating on building the ship would sometimes prick up their ears and listen to Allen's story. One or two of them had experienced that turbulent period, but they knew far less than what Allen told them. So clear.

For example, the death of Glaurung, the destruction of Gondolin, the grievances between the dwarves and Sindar, and the purpose of this trip, the base camp of Morgoth, the iron hell Angband, which was once full of terror and torture.

Time gradually passes as the story is told, and the environment at sea begins to get worse. The further north you go, the closer you are to the darkest place in the past. The climate here is very harsh, and although the sea is not frozen, it is bone-chilling.

"Sir, it seems we have arrived!"

In the fierce wind, the voice of the elves intermittently reached Allen's ears. He looked up and vaguely saw three islands in the heavy rain, and all facing him were cliffs.

Those should be Thangorodrim built by Morgoth during the First Age. They were originally the three highest mountains in Middle-earth. However, at the end of the War of Wrath, the fierce battle between Eärendil and Ankaragon, Let these three peaks collapse.

Now there is only a short section left, and under the mountain peak is Alan's dream destination, Angband.

After more than a week of departure from Gray Port, they finally arrived here. However, a storm was brewing in the sky at this time, and it might not be a good time to dive into the sea.

"~Ugh~Gulu, Gulu, Gulu, Gulu."

Suddenly, an unusually abrupt sound suddenly penetrated into Allen's ears, like boiling water. The sound came from under the water, followed by Galdo's shout.

"Everyone, secure yourself with ropes! Crossbowmen, prepare! Archers, prepare! It's a sea serpent, a sea serpent!!"

Following the cry, a ferocious head rose from the sea, covered with fine, smooth black scales, and it looked as big as half a sailboat.

"Hey~ah~"

After a terrifying roar, the sea snake opened its mouth full of fangs, and a scarlet snake several meters long poked out, shaking wildly, and its two huge pale white eyes stared at the boat.

Fear instantly dominated all the creatures on the ship, and even Allen was not immune.
“Damn it, I’ve never heard of such a thing in Middle-earth!!”

Just as Allen was complaining, a thick bolt of lightning flashed through the air and instantly hit the trembling snake letter. It must be to strike first. The water monster should have weak electricity, right? !

At this time, the bows, arrows and heavy crossbows on the ship shot at the terrifying monster in front of them with "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh".

The water monster that received the electric shock seemed to be in great pain. Its hideous head swayed crazily and bounced away all the arrows fired at it. Only two crossbow arrows more than one meter long broke through the smooth scales, causing damage to the monster. harm.

Perhaps it was too seriously injured, or perhaps it was because it had never enjoyed electrotherapy in the sea. After being attacked by this series of attacks, the sea snake quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, as if it had never appeared before.

However, the elves on the ship were certain from the remaining fear in each other's eyes and the joy on their faces that what happened just now could not be an illusion. (End of chapter)
