Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 70 Arrival at Rivendell and the Convocation of the White Council
Turka has rushed over as far as possible.

Besides, half a month ago, there were no trolls around here, so what can he say except that dwarves and hobbits should have this fate in their lives.

"These monsters shouldn't be here." The wizard tapped the three big idiots who had turned into stone sculptures with his cane, and frowned: "They must have come from the Eden Moor. When we were in the north last time, in the Carndum doesn't see many trolls."

Turka recalled all the recent discoveries, he said: "It's only been ten years, and their activities have become active again. The dark forces are rising faster than we thought."

Both the wizard and Thorin saw the concern in his eyes, and said, "What have you found?"

Turka didn't want to say it now, he said: "This is not a good place to talk about these things, let's pack our bags first, and then continue on the road, maybe later, I will tell you something, in front of a warm campfire .”

The wizard was a little surprised, but also a little dignified, he said: "That's it."

This disappointed Bilbo, who wanted to eavesdrop. He always felt that after this night's adventure, he had proved himself a qualified adventurer, and he wanted to participate in more.

what.

Yes, at this time our hobbit's inner curiosity is fully aroused, and the gene of the Tuke family has overwhelmed the gene of the Baggins family.

"They don't travel during the day." Thorin looked around. "There must be a cave near here."

At this time, the dwarves crawled out of the sacks in bunches like potatoes. After sorting out their personal belongings, they searched around, and soon found the huge footprints of these trolls leading to the bushes.

They climbed up the hill following the footprints, and finally found a cave hidden in the bushes.

Turka knew they would find Glamdrin the Striker (also known as the Sword) and Orcrest the Bite Sword here, but he didn't need much of a weapon right now.

In particular, these two swords are too short for him.

So he stood far away from the upwind of the cave, not wanting to get involved.

"Well."

Bilbo covered his nose and looked disgusted: "Have we come to the toilet?"

There is an unpleasant smell in the air here.There were many bones on the ground, and a lot of food was randomly piled up on the shelves and on the ground.

The cave was strewn with loot, everything from brass buttons to a jar full of gold coins piled in one corner.

There was also a great deal of clothing hanging on the walls—obviously too small for the trolls, probably torn from the bodies of the victims—and among these were swords of every shape, shape, and size, two of which were They especially catch the eye because of their beautiful scabbards and gem-studded hilts.

It is the two magical weapons of Glamdrin and Oakrest.

"It doesn't look like a weapon that trolls would forge." Thorin pulled out Oakrest, and as a result, the blade of the sword almost lit up the dark cave like a pool of autumn water.

Gandalf pulled out Glamdrin, read the inscription on it, and said, "This is a weapon secretly forged by the high elves of the first era in Gondolin. There is no better weapon than these swords."

Because the relationship between dwarves and elves was better than at the same time in the original history, Thorin did not resist using elves' weapons.

Bilbo also took a sheathed knife curiously.To a troll it might be a pocket knife, but to a hobbit it would be a short sword.

This is the Sting Sword.

But at that time, no one knew the name.

Everyone else has their share of gains.

"We can hide these gold coins first, and maybe when we come back, we won't return empty-handed," said the dwarves.

Then they took shovels, dug many small pits and holes, and buried all the jars of gold coins and treasures that the trolls had snatched.

They said: These are unowned things, and the dwarves only keep them temporarily.If someone comes looking for it, they are happy to give it back to them.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is just a self-deceiving rhetoric of the dwarves.It is impossible for anyone to ask them to track down these lost items.

Along the way, Bilbo waved his short sword curiously, with some delight.

The dwarves put on their smiling faces again.

It seemed that the bad experience of that night had been completely forgotten by them.

The wolf howl no longer appears.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, and all this is just because there is another tall figure in the team.

Two days later.

The adventure team saw a huge boundless mountain.The brown hillsides are scattered with a few clusters of sunlight, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the whole mountain looks dark and gloomy.

"Is that the mountain we are going to?" Bilbo asked gravely, looking at the mountain with wide-eyed eyes.He had never seen anything this big before.

"Of course not!" Balin said. "This is just the edge of the Misty Mountains. We have to go through, or turn over, or go under. Only in this way can we enter the wilderness beyond the mountain. Even if we turn over There is still a long way to go to the lonely mountains in the east."

"Oh!" sighed Bilbo, who had come a long way--for him.

He was more tired than ever, and it reminded him of his cozy Bag End home, his favorite drawing room, with its comfortable chair in front of the fire, and the kettle gurgling as it boiled. the sound of.

Turka comforted him: "It's almost here. Lord Elrond's home is the most comfortable hotel in Middle-earth. It will make you forget all your fatigue and sorrow, and it will also relieve your homesickness, my dear." Bilbo."

In fact, it was true. They walked for half a day, and after turning a river valley, a paradise that Bilbo would never forget appeared in front of him.

"Rivendell!"

Bilbo stared stupidly at the elf home in front of him, barely closing his mouth from ear to ear.It was almost one of the most beautiful sights he had seen on this journey——

Several of the dwarves sighed like this.

The beauty there is almost beyond words, just know that there, even on the darkest night, you don't have to close the door.

They crossed a small river with only a small bridge without guardrails, just narrow enough for a pony to walk across.So when crossing the bridge, they could only walk slowly one by one, leading the ponies by the reins carefully.

Fortunately, the elves brought bright lanterns and stood on the shore to illuminate them.

"My lord!"

Glorfindel was already waiting here, and he saluted very gracefully to Turka, who was walking in the front, before nodding to the others.

"This is the legendary Hobbit." Lord Goldflower even heard about our Master Baggins, which almost made Bilbo jump up with excitement.

"Welcome, Master Bilbo Baggins."

"How do you do, I mean, glad to be at Lord Elrond's house," stammered Bilbo.

The elves all laughed.They led the ponies of the dwarves and hobbits, and gave them a warm welcome.It almost made Bilbo forget that he had a bad impression of elves because of a female elf.

"Lord Elrond is already waiting," said Glorfindel. "If the dwarves and our hobbits are not tired yet, we can go and enjoy the elves' dinner first. If we are tired, we can go to rest first." , here are the most comfortable beds and bedding, enough for everyone to get rid of the tiredness and fatigue of the journey.”

Bomber said immediately, "I choose to eat. I have been hungry all day. I can eat a big wild boar now."

He was the fattest of the dwarves, almost as wide as two dwarves.

At the end of the day, he was cold and hungry, wishing that a sumptuous dinner would appear in front of him immediately.Others also said that they would rather eat first and then rest.

So Thorin said, "Thank you, Lord Elrond, for your hospitality. Then please lead the way."

Bilbo couldn't remember what happened next, or rather, his attention was almost entirely attracted by Elrond, Turka, the wizard, and Thorin.

First of all, the owner here is indeed noble and handsome like a nobleman, physically strong like a warrior, resourceful like a wizard, virtuous like a dwarf king, and kind-hearted like a big man in summer.He welcomed everyone in the adventure team very warmly and arranged a very sumptuous dinner.

Secondly, the silver king has been talking with elves, wizards, and dwarf kings almost non-stop.Their expressions were all very serious, as if a natural and man-made disaster had happened somewhere.

Because they talked in Elvish throughout, please forgive Bilbo who can only understand a few words, including darkness, phantom, plague and so on.

This made him very worried, even a little restless.

If these big shots have to be on the alert, doesn't that mean that this matter is very serious?Bilbo asked Balin anxiously.He was almost the calmest among the dwarves. When everyone was eating Hesse, Old Barin was smoking a pipe slowly, as if everything was under control.

"Don't you think it's very queer in here?" said Bilbo. "They've been talking and not even eating."

Old Bahrain took a deep look at him and said some philosophical words: "If they can't solve the problem, what's the use of us worrying about it? Bilbo, maybe you are very important in this task, But you are just a small person, like many dwarves! Same as me! And this world is big! Let it go, mediocrity is not a good thing for you or me."

Bilbo opened his mouth, but was speechless.

In fact, until the end of the gracious hospitality of the elves, the silver king and the others were still talking, and it continued until the next day's dawn.

But as Balin said, the world is big, and the hobbits are so small, that many things have little to do with Bilbo, or even with the Adventure Party.

So what happened during that time, the dwarves do not know.

Bilbo later deduced it from the elves, and even from scattered conversations with the Silver King.And it was recorded in his travel book "The Adventures of the Hobbit".

During that time, the Silver King held a Holy White Conference with elves and wizards, and many big figures attended that meeting.

Among them is the white robe wizard Saruman.

That's a very strong Ishtar.That's what we call, wizards.

During the years when he was not fully degenerated, Saruman, the white-robed wizard, was almost one of the most powerful people in Middle-earth.
