Chapter 585 Old Forest

"King? Ranger??"

Seeing Michael, wearing a crown and holding a giant sword, appear, the old wizard first showed a look of surprise, then relaxed and said: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself first when asking others."

"My name is Olórin or Mithrandi, but I am more commonly known as Gandalf, the Elf with the staff."

Feeling the gentle aura from Michael, Gandalf smiled and pointed to the staff at his feet that was taller than a man, proving his identity.

[Demigod Body (Attribute)]... [Source of Magic Power (Attribute)]... [Two-handed Sword. Mastery (Skill)]... [Illumination (Skill)]... [Explosive Magic (Skill)]...

[Ring of Fire. Flame Affinity (Characteristic)]...

The moment he saw Gandalf, Michael knew he had arrived in Middle-earth, where there was Ilúvatar, the creator god with unfathomable power, and the Great Music of the Ainu, who had been written by him.

As a Maia sent by the Great Symphony to maintain peace in Middle-earth, Gandalf's strength must not be too weak, probably similar to that of the fallen angel Lucifer.

"Mike, Mike Quinn. A...traveler." Mike, who had picked up a lot of attribute light balls, was in a good mood and introduced himself.

"Traveler Michael~" Gandalf thought about it briefly, but he didn't remember such a person. However, he still smiled and invited him, "Traveling in the jungle at night is very dangerous. If you don't mind, you can stay by the campfire for a night. I have some food here to treat you..."

As he spoke, Gandalf took out a small package from his wide robe, which contained honey and some unknown fruits.

"Thank you~" Mike was naturally not polite.

With a wave of his hand, he retracted the crown on his head and the giant sword in his hand into his body, and transformed the gorgeous light armor on his body into a set of Genovia-style medieval dress.

The material chosen is relatively rough linen, which has the meaning of adapting to local customs.

Then he walked over to the campfire and sat down opposite Gandalf.

"What an amazing ability." Gandalf expressed his sincere admiration when he saw Mike change his style easily.

In addition to the Maia and the elves, there are also many strange people in Middle-earth.

Gandalf has been here for thousands of years, so he naturally won't look down on anyone.

"Just some little tricks, not worth mentioning~" Mike said modestly, smiling: "By the way, I also store some food here, maybe you will like it."

Reciprocity...

Mike then took out some cooked food and drinks from his private space. These things might not be as nutritious as the food in this world, but with the blessing of technology and hard work, they must taste good.

"Interesting processing techniques and brewing technology..." Gandalf commented after tasting the fried chicken and red wine, and then suddenly asked: "As a traveler, where are you from?"

Gandalf was a little confused about the young man in front of him, so he wanted to find out his background.

If the situation permits, perhaps you can invite the other party to join your Lonely Mountain team.

Sixty years is a cycle. Lonely Mountain, the birthplace of the Dwarves of Durin, was occupied by the dragon Smaug sixty years ago, causing great casualties to the Dwarves and humans in the surrounding Dale City at that time.

Now sixty years have passed, and with the revival of evil, Gandalf has a premonition that the dragon sleeping in the Lonely Mountain will wake up again.

In order to prevent another round of devastation, someone must fight against the awakened dragon.

At the same time, suppress the evil energy in Middle-earth.

The descendants of Durin the Dwarf, who always wanted to retake the Lonely Mountain, were the main force that Gandalf was going to use to deal with Smaug.

However, the dwarves of Durin alone are obviously not enough to deal with Smaug, so Gandalf needs to mobilize more people to go to Lonely Mountain for help.

"I come from a very far place and am not familiar with the situation here. So, Gandalf, can you introduce me to the surrounding situation?" Mike did not tell Gandalf where he came from as Gandalf wished, but took the initiative to control the rhythm of the conversation.

Then, after a verbal exchange between the two, both of them gained something. Gandalf was sure that Michael was a powerful human being, exactly the talent he was looking for.

And Mike knew that he was at the junction of the valley and the Shire...

Well, the two of them tested each other for a long time, but there wasn't much useful information.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, the old wizard lost his patience, put on his large wizard hat and took a nap.

When he was awakened by the fragrance again, the sunlight had already penetrated through the treetops, and it was a rare good day.

On the other side, Mike was forking a few sausages and heating them over the campfire.

"Would you like to try it? A nutritious breakfast~" Mike handed over two sausages, and then took out a few pieces of fluffy bread and milk and shared them with Gandalf.

Looking at the food in his hand, Gandalf felt that the human in front of him became more and more mysterious.

"By the way, where are you going next...to travel?" Gandalf asked casually after finishing breakfast.

"I don't have any specific plans yet. Let's take it one step at a time." Mike answered truthfully.

He really hasn't figured out what to do in Middle-earth yet.

"Is that so?" Gandalf replied, "If you don't know where to go, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested in it?"

"What suggestions?" Mike asked knowingly.

"The treasure of Lonely Mountain..." Gandalf revealed: "I am going to form an adventure team to go to Lonely Mountain. If you are willing to join, you will also have a share of the treasure there."

As the earliest home of the dwarves, the Lonely Mountain was filled with countless gold coins and gems, which even attracted the attention of Smaug, the last dragon in Middle-earth.

This is no secret in Middle-earth.

"Fortune?" Mike narrowed his eyes and said, "If there is a suitable companion, I don't mind an interesting treasure hunt."

Mike had long discovered that the more powerful the race or individual, the more faith and depravity points they could provide to him.

The vastness of Middle-earth is even larger than the Earth in the previous world, and it is home to powerful races such as dwarves, elves, and orcs.

If you can become a "legend" in this land, you will definitely gain more power of faith and corruption points.

Joining the Lonely Mountain Adventure Team is the best way to become a legend.

Besides, as far as Mike knew, Gandalf had a map to Lonely Mountain, and joining his adventure team would save a lot of trouble.

"Thorin and the others will satisfy you..." Gandalf described the general situation of the adventure team. In his description, the descendants of Durin's dwarves were a group of generous and capable guys.

"Let's set off without further ado. I have an appointment with them to meet in the Shire..." Gandalf seemed to be in a good mood and continued, "By the way to the Shire, I can also visit an old friend of mine. He, like you, has magical powers."

So, after extinguishing the remaining campfire, the two of them, led by Gandalf, headed northwest.

Don't be fooled by Gandalf's wizard attire. With the body of a demigod, his physical fitness is actually stronger than his magical abilities.

In less than half a day, he took Mike through hundreds of kilometers of rugged woodlands.

"In front is the 'Old Forest', where John and his wife Goldberry live..." When they reached the junction of a forest, Gandalf began to explain.

Strangely enough, unlike other forests that have just sprouted new buds, the 'old forest' ahead is lush and green, as if it is already midsummer.

Mike also noticed that Gandalf, who entered the 'Old Forest', felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.
