Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 71 Accelerated Music

"Oh! I think I sprained my ankle."

As soon as he landed, Gandalf cried out in pain and jumped twice with his teeth bared.

Levi was almost fine. With the help of fall protection, the damage caused to him by the pearl teleportation was only in decimal places.

"You don't look injured."

If the old man hadn't lost any blood, Levi would have almost believed it.

“The consumption is still huge.”

“That’s obvious.”

While fighting against Sauron, Levi watched Gandalf's health steadily decrease.

At this moment, he was limping forward with a cane and one hand on his waist, looking quite embarrassed. Levi couldn't bear to watch it, so he gave him a golden apple to bite.

"Thank you, I feel much better, this stuff is amazing, I feel like I have some strength back."

A warmth surged through his body and a solid golden light enveloped Gandalf, which was the shield brought by the golden apple.

"That's good, let's get out of here quickly."

Just as Levi and Gandalf were running into the forest, the shadow of Dol Guldur behind them suddenly swelled up and attacked them, covering the sky and the sun.

"Get down!"

thump.

Gandalf raised his staff and released a small transparent barrier that just covered the two of them. Black fog swept over them, sweeping up several trees, but he did not find the target he was looking for, so he had to return in disappointment.

Livi looked up and saw a large number of Orcs and Wargs pouring out from Dol Guldur like fountains, sweeping towards the north. A quick glance showed that the number was at least in the tens of thousands.

Levi also saw a pale figure among them - Azog, who was riding the wolf king and leading the army.

“They are out…”

"I see it." Gandalf got up and looked in the direction of the army. "They are the Orcs and Wargs from Moria, and there are also many trolls. They are marching towards the Lonely Mountain."

"Smaug has long since allied with Sauron, and now they want to completely occupy that place. Levi, I must quickly meet up with Lady Galadriel and the others, and launch another attack on Dol Guldur!"

"What are you going to do?"

As they walked, Gandalf asked Levi about his plans.

"Me? I don't think there's any need for me to join. You can see that I don't have the power to fight him."

"I think you have, but you haven't noticed it yet," Gandalf said firmly.

But after saying that, he changed the subject again: "But judging by the current situation, there are places where you are more needed."

"Erebor."

Sauron's army marched towards Lonely Mountain ahead of schedule, but at this moment, the dwarves were still struggling in Long Lake Town.

"It's amazing. My injury has healed."

Kili sat in a chair at Budd's house, looking at his healed leg.

"Thank you, Tauriel, and Bilbo."

On the way to Lake-town, Kili was attacked by Morgul's arrow. Bilbo gave the golden apple to Kili and used the healing power and shield to temporarily suppress the worsening of his wound. Tauriel arrived later and used the kingleaf as a medium to completely eliminate the poison of Morgul.

Hearing Kili's words, Bilbo shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to thank me. Levi gave me this apple. I'd better wait until Levi comes to thank you."

"So, I was saved by Levi again."

Kili had a complicated expression on his face. At this moment, Thorin came over and interrupted his thoughts: "We will repay him later. Now the more important thing is to go to Erebor."

"Dwarves, are you still determined to go to the Lonely Mountain?" Legolas stood up and asked Thorin condescendingly.

"That's our business. What does it have to do with you, an elf?" Thorin continued to steadily launch his special verbal attack on the elves.

"You two chased us here, are you trying to capture us?"

"Even if you did something good, let's be honest. Even if we don't have any weapons now, we will not go back with you obediently. We will fight to the end."

"No, I didn't receive any orders to take you back."

Seeing Legolas begin to frown, Tauriel spoke first:
"We tracked down the Orc group that ambushed at the edge of the forest all the way here, but we don't know why they suddenly retreated."

"This pursuit is also declared over."

Thorin glanced at the female elf, then at Kili, and swallowed back the words "Then there was no need for you to come to us."

My nephew's preferences seem to be a little different from those of normal dwarves. Is it because there are too few female dwarves in the tribe?
Maybe a session of counseling is in order after this.

Shaking his head, Thorin gave the order: "Since everyone is alright, let's prepare tonight and set off for Erebor tomorrow."

"Thorin, it's still early. Should we wait for Gandalf and Levi?" Fili came over and asked.

"We can just go over there first and wait. I don't want to waste any more time here."

"But we don't have any weapons, what if there is any accident along the way..."

"There will be."

The dwarves discussed, Legolas and Tauriel sat aside, looking at each other, and could see each other's confusion.

What are these dwarves planning?
Bud also had doubts.

"What are you going to do? There's no place in town that sells weapons."

"Ah, nothing much, we were just discussing leaving."

"Yeah, after disturbing you for so long, it's time to leave..."

The dwarves were all playing dumb. Balin joined them and was about to say something when he saw the clothes drying rack behind Bard. He changed the subject and said, "Brother, I have to say that your clothes drying rack looks really strange. It looks very sturdy."

“That’s not a clothes drying rack.”

"Oh?" Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Balin quickly drew Bud's attention and walked aside to ask curiously, "What is that? Could it be your heirloom?"

"Yes, it is."

Now Bahrain was really curious. Treating the clothes drying rack as a family heirloom?
Bard gently stroked the "clothes rack" and said softly, "This is a relic left by my father. When the dragon attacked Riverdale City, my father shot the dragon with this kind of arrow."

"So you are the descendant of the former Lord of River Valley..."

Obviously, Balin was a connoisseur. After getting closer, he could tell at a glance that the arrow was indeed made by a dwarf.

It is said that this black arrow has magical powers. It is extremely difficult to lose and will always return to its owner - this is the real thing, which means that the human in front of him has not lied about his identity.

"However, what you said is different from the rumors I heard." Although somewhat shocked by Bud's background, Balin still shook his head.

"If the dragon was shot, how could it be in Erebor now?"

"The dragon was shot!" Bud suddenly said excitedly.

“My dad definitely shot it!”

"Okay, buddy, don't get so excited. I don't believe you're not ready yet."

Balin raised his head, patted Bard's arm, and said calmly: "That black arrow is indeed sharp. I believe it has the ability to break dragon scales. Maybe it has injured Smaug. But no matter what, judging from the result, the evil dragon is still alive, isn't it?"

"Whether it's you or your father, I believe you are both brave warriors and you have done nothing wrong to anyone."

"This matter has passed. To be honest, you don't have to prove anything. Just let everything flow with time. The present life is the most important."
