The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Without the evil dragon, relying on a golden mountain, it was only a matter of time before this area prospered.

"I do have the idea of ​​establishing a... stronghold near the ruins of Long Lake Town. If possible, do you remember where we just met? I will spend money to rebuild the ruins."

"If a wizard was there, people wouldn't be so afraid of Smaug."

After the war, Gandalf was about to leave the Lonely Mountain. He mentioned Sauron, the master behind the orcs, and the war Sauron was about to start. The wizard had to look for traces of evil in other places, as much as possible. Warn the world before being unable to deal with it, just like in the lonely mountain, let people unite and fight against the darkness together.

This is both a celebration and a separation. Bilbo originally didn't intend to take the gold back. According to his words, if you bring so much gold, you will inevitably encounter the ugly scenes of fighting and intrigue on the road, so he would rather leave the gold in Gushan. But in the end the dwarves decided to at least let Bilbo take away two boxes full of gold and silver that could be hung on either side of the pony.

The elves' troops are already preparing to march toward the dense forest, and their number is much smaller than when they first arrived in the Lonely Mountain. However, this victory is enough to clear the haze, they are waiting for the cold winter to usher in a spring of recovery.

Not only the elves, but some dwarves are also preparing to leave. Bahrain is planning to lead a part of the dwarves on an expedition to Moria, taking advantage of Azog and Bolger's death in Crow Ridge, and the orc army is in chaos to retake the fortress that should have belonged to the dwarves. However, Thorin's cousin Dein was very opposed to this. He believed that a monster named Turin's nemesis still lived in Moria, and the dwarves had better abandon it.

As for the debate among the dwarves, Zelin naturally did not have to participate.

"After you finish processing Smaug's body, will you return to the Lonely Mountain, wizard?" Bahrain asked the demon hunter.

"No, I will leave, I should be away for a long time. Maybe I will come back in the future, but I will definitely not stay."

The wine of the dwarves enlivened the banquet, and the happy singing of these dwarves could be heard everywhere.

"It's a pity. I originally planned to ask you to join our expedition to Moria. We don't know the specific monster of Turin's nemesis. A knowledgeable wizard should be able to help us."

"Maybe I don’t know what Turin’s nemesis is. For these, I suggest you ask Gandalf." Zelin shook his head. "The war has just ended. You should stay in the Lonely Mountain to help Thorin. Why? To organize a new expedition? This is dangerous and unnecessary."

If there is a master behind Azog, then this Sauron will definitely not sit back and watch the orc's defeat, he will re-assemble its strength as quickly as possible, and it is not suitable for launching a new expedition at this time.

"I'm very old. I want to do more before I die." Bahrain sighed. "Thorin can be up to the job of the King of the Mountain. I will swing my battle axe while I can still walk. At the time, robbed the orcs from the possessions that were supposed to be dwarves."

"Be careful, Bahrain." Zelin shook the glass in his hand and touched the old dwarf. "Remember, I will come back to look for you when I come next time. Don't die, otherwise I should look for you. Who knows the story of the dwarf."

"I'll be careful." Bahrain raised his head and drank the spirits in the glass.

Chapter 785: Golden Spirit

By the next day, Zelin did not return to River Valley City. Instead, he used the elves to transport supplies to the valley in a wagon, loaded his share of gold, and went to the jungle with the elves' team and Bilbo. And Gandalf, the gray-robed wizard will send Bilbo all the way back to the Shire.

As for how people would evaluate this lone mountain war in the future, this is not what Zelin can know now, of course, he is not so concerned about this matter. But now, there is a Hobbit who is holding a pen and paper in his hand, even if he sits on the back of a pony, he can't relieve his excitement.

"The wound will be healed, and this wasteland will break free from evil, and usher in a new life." Gandalf held the staff and rode on horseback beside the elf's queue. The wizard is the only one who is indifferent to the Lonely Mountain Treasure, and does not even need a gold coin.

"I'm also very happy to be here to help, and I can earn considerable gold by my own ability." Zelin was sitting in the carriage. "Gandalf, where do you usually live? You understand, If you wait until the next time, when you encounter trouble, I may not be able to meet you directly like this time."

"The evil is still hiding in the dark, ready to move. This failure will not destroy the dark ambitions, but will only make the flames burn more violently." Gandalf's face was solemn, and the wizard did not reveal too much after the war, just like he treated gold coins. What a delightful person "Are you leaving? I hope you can go to the residence of King Elrond with me to meet the other people in the White Council."

"Sorry, Gandalf, I have a home, so I have to go back, at least for now, I have to go back." Zelin sighed. "But I always welcome you to my place at the gate of Long Lake Town. Not far away, facing the ruins of a huge boulder, you can find your way to my home there, maybe I will come back next time. Find the opportunity to visit Bilbo in the Shire, or go to the one you always mentioned , The residence of King Elrond, go and see the most beautiful place in your mouth."

"You can go to the jungle and look for the brown-robed wizard Rhidagast. If you are in trouble, he will provide help. I hope that when evil comes, I can seek your help to guard Middle-earth."

"I will do my best."

Gandalf knocked on the pipe on the edge of the carriage, knocked off the soot inside, and looked at the hobbit on the side. "Bilbo, if you are not careful, when we are separated, no one will fall off the horse. Time to hold you."

Looking at Bilbo who was struggling to write paper on the wooden box on the side of the horse, Zelin joked, "When you see the orc next time, you will give it to him. Maybe it will You will be scared to escape by the fiasco of the orcs described in you."

"I will write down the original story of this adventure. From how I met these dwarves to how Bilbo returned home safely." Bilbo shook his quill and said to the Demon Hunter. " I will not show it to the orcs, they will ruin my book. I will wait to write it and tell it to my descendants. You must come and see it, the bottom of the bag, when you get to the Shire , I asked the locals about the location of the bag bottom hole, which is my home."

"I will definitely go, when I have enough free time."

Zelin looked at the foothills of the Lonely Mountain not far away. The bright sunshine spread on the mountains, and the snow on the top of the mountain appeared dazzling white. The howling cold wind seemed to have softened a lot with the defeat of the orcs and Smaug's death. The sun shines on the boundless earth, standing on the **** and looking into the distance, it is an endless dense forest. Even in winter, the dense forest where the elves live is also dark green. The vitality of the forest is the same as that of the people living in it, and will not get rid of by the arrival of winter.

"Bilbo, I thought about it, I should give you a gift."

As he was about to reach the edge of the Great Lake, Zelin suddenly said to Bilbo. Originally Zelin wanted to send him some flares, but Gandalf thought that bringing these explosive things into the Shire without guarding them was not a good choice. So Zelin changed his attention. He heard that Shire is a peaceful place. Hobbits like peace and tranquility. Instead of carrying a flare that can explode and is not as gorgeous as fireworks, the demon hunter might as well give it to Bilbo. One thing.

"What is this?"

Bilbo curiously fiddled with what the demon hunter handed him. It seems that the wizard can always come up with some strange things.

"Gwent card." Zelin introduced to him. "A very popular card game from where I live. I think you should like it. It's easy to learn. Come on, let me take this game. The rules and simple gameplay tell you."

Gandalf, who was riding on the white horse, was smoking a pipe and squinted at Zelin and Bilbo who were chatting. Shaking his head, he urged the horse towards Thrandil on the other side of the team, and the elves also set out to clear the evil creatures that breed in the dense forest.

When the team walked to the big lake, near the mouth of the dense forest, Zelin stopped the carriage. Bilbo is very smart. Although he can't understand the fun for the time being, Zelin believes that in time, Bilbo will definitely understand the benefits of this gift.

Stopping at the mouth of the river, it was finally time to be separated from everyone.

"Goodbye, Zelin. I hope your heroic deeds will always circulate in the epic." Bilbo rubbed his nose. "Also, I think I should give you a gift too."

"No, Bilbo, you don't need to give me a gift." Zelin shook his head. "It's the best gift I can meet a friend like you."

"Uh, let's put it this way, I think I may not need it. But... this is indeed a precious thing. You often use swords and fight various evil creatures. You will definitely need it." Then, Bilbo took out a piece of light silver chain mail from his travel package. This thing is very light. When the Hobbit took it out, Zelin thought he was taking out a piece of tulle. "This is the Mythril armor that Thorin gave me. It was when everyone was fighting for the golden sword. Give me this Mithril armor to protect yourself. Now, I will give it to you."

"This is too expensive, Bilbo..." The demon hunter had seen many armors, and he soon realized how precious this chain armor shirt called mithril armor was.

"If you think it is too precious, promise me a condition when you accept it." Bilbo gave a sly smile.

"What conditions?" Zelin took the Mithril armor and asked Billbo seriously.

"We will always be friends." Looking into the eyes of the demon hunter, Bilbo said with the same seriousness. At that time, as long as you pass by my door, you must come in and visit, okay?"

Zelin was silent for a while, and he sighed.

"Great Bilbo, I think if everyone in this world can, like you, value friends, laughter, and despise gold and silver, then there may no longer be evil in this world."

Everyone is pursuing gold, but Bilbo, who doesn't care about gold and silver treasures at all, owns real gold.

The Hobbit laughed. "Then we'll see you later."

After all, he urged the horses, caught up with Gandalf in front, and walked into the old path of the elves in the dense forest with the elves.

The seven hundred and eighty-sixth chapter leisure time

For the rest of the time, Zelin experienced the life of a half-murloc. Now he only regrets the skinning knife he left when he was in the small fishing village of Yanan. He didn't know how many corpses of monsters he had cut with that knife. If possible, he must use one of Smaug's claws to make a new skinning knife.

At night, the Long Lake was silent, and occasionally a breeze blew a wave, the waves clashed on the rocks, and the ruins of Changhu Town lay quietly under the moonlight of the full moon. The weather is very cold, but fortunately the bonfire that rises and the physique of the demon hunter are enough to withstand the chill.

Zelin sat in a shelter made of shattered wood, enjoying the rare leisure time. Just a few days ago, he was still in this town, helping the people of Long Lake to fight against the orcs and the dragon. Now, he was cleaning Smaug's body near the ruins. If possible, he would like to transport this dragon to his castle through the portal, so that the warlock scholars from Sinide Island can study it carefully. This dragon might make them some new discoveries.

If this kind of dragon comes to the world of demon hunters through the confluence of celestial spheres, maybe Zelin can find valuable mutants from it.

By midnight, just as Zelin was about to take a rest, the unnatural wind on the nearby Long Lake caught his attention. He is familiar with this kind of sound, especially after waiting for the opening of the portal several times in Zelin. The vortex from another world can easily produce a sound similar to howling evil spirits. This is by no means a natural wind that can blow out on the lake. Sound.

He opened his eyes, walked to a nearby wooden boat, and propped the boat toward the direction of the portal. The asymmetry of time made it difficult for him to guess when the portal opened, but according to the wizard, the time of the return portal is probably based on this world. After all, the channel reopens depends on the return of chaotic energy, and the directional navigation technology is exactly what Rely on the energy characteristics of the reflux to calculate the coordinates of the different world.

Francesca didn't get too detailed, of course, too detailed Zelin estimated that he would fall asleep halfway through it.

When approaching the portal, the surrounding air temperature dropped significantly. There is no doubt that there is hoarfrost. These strange natural phenomena that spread along the passage from the frozen world when the passage between the worlds is opened. If Hoarfrost, which follows the portal to other worlds like a wise creature, can really be called a natural phenomenon. Fortunately, there is no sign of Hoarfrost in the world where the Demon Hunter has arrived. If it hadn't been for seeing the illusion in Skellig, Zelin would not have been so concerned about Hoarfrost.
