The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"We know this. Elrond's messengers often come from the Misty Mountains, or come down here along the Anduin Henan, but we usually live deep in the forest and don't want to have any contact with outsiders." Tarrell gently touched the hilt of the sword hung around his waist. "But you should be grateful that you met me at the beginning. Some of us still have to go out to collect intelligence, figure out what has happened in this world recently, monitor our enemies, and learn the language of the outside world. I'm right It’s one of them, and so is Harda."

"Then this is really bad." Zelin shrugged. "The news that you live in the deep forest may have been known to the orcs, so they walked along the edge of the forest to avoid your eyes and ears. Now, they have reached Moria from the Misty Mountains, and may be from Moria's hall at any time. Clash out in the middle, hit your forest, the dwarves can be your ally in this matter."

"If the situation is really as bad as you claim." Under a towering giant tree on the edge of the forest, Altarel stopped. The elf guard, dressed in both strong and elegant armor, is holding a bow and arrow, standing by the dirt road between two giant trees, like a statue, looking straight ahead. "Then you'd better tell Harda all the information you know. He will judge the news you brought and tell Queen Galadriel."

The first thousand six hundred and sixty-eight chapters unexpected old friends

The elves of Lothlorien live in the tree house.

The verdant and turquoise wooden houses are integrated with the towering giant trees in the woodland. The vines are their decoration. The leaves dot the outer wall of the wooden house. The smooth road is wrapped around the tree trunk and spirals straight up to the top hidden tree. House in the canopy. The paved road is covered with the lines of trees, as if this is what grows in the forest. The intricately carved fence protects walking on the spiral road, but no one will feel uncoordinated because of the artificial traces, perhaps only Such exquisite craftsmanship is worthy of such a special forest.

It wasn't until the demon hunter noticed the silver-gray rope ladder hanging down from nearby trees that Zelin noticed that a platform was built among the trees surrounding the towering giant tree, and several elves in gray cloaks were standing. Above. They hide themselves in the forest very well. If they hadn't started to move or actively exposed themselves, the demon hunters could barely notice the figures in the nearby woodland.

Harda is a medium-sized male elf, not as thin as other elf, maybe he looks more like an administrative officer sitting in a city hall dealing with government affairs, not like a warrior who will fight on the battlefield. . However, his standing with a saber in his armour makes it hard to doubt whether he has ever been on the battlefield.

"Welcome." The elf didn't speak fast, and it sounded like the demon hunter just learned how to use Ain Shidi. Each character must be clearly stated before the next tone can be heard. "Alta Reall has a high evaluation of your fighting skills. She said that you have a very evil mount and an unknown blade, but you don't look so evil. We saw you leading the one hiding in the mountains. The dwarves made a **** path. Generally speaking, we rarely allow strangers to pass through this woodland, but today I decided to make an exception."

"Thank you." Zelin nodded. "I'm very willing to repay your kindness, but the situation is probably not as good as it appears outside the dense forest. There are still many orcs in Moria, they occupy most of Moria's halls and corridors, if we didn't blow it up in advance After the long bridge in Moria, I am afraid that what you have just seen is not humans and dwarves, but more orcs and ogres."

"They came from Yinguanghe?"

"No, it came from the mine of Moria, Bahrain... uh." Zelin explained as he looked at Harda's questioning eyes. "It's the leader of the dwarves. He is the current King of Moria and the son of Findin. He suspects that the beast crowd in the Misty Mountains dug through the tunnel and appeared directly at the bottom of the Moria Mine."

Halda kept asking the demon hunter about the orc attacks, and Zelin told him everything he saw, including the battle in Moria. Altarel added that she was in the dense forest from time to time. He was shocked by the clues and traces he saw when he watched the edge. He was shocked at how many orcs were able to avoid the eyeline of the elves and followed the Silver River to besiege Moria. This completely exceeded the expectations of the elves. The orcs could use this Attacking Moria in the same way, naturally you can also attack Lothlorien along the Silver River in the same way.

"Two groups of orcs joined together to attack the dwarves, but they were led by different leaders. One of the orcs should be from the Misty Mountains, and the other, they might be from Mordor, unless there are still orc tribes hidden in the southern part of the Undergrowth."

"Dark Forest? I know, but the orcs in the Dark Forest were either swallowed by spiders or fled to the north after the Battle of the Lonely Mountain."

"Maybe they reappear in places we didn't notice, but we must send a messenger to tell Lord Elrond what happened here. The orcs in the Misty Mountains are starting to move around again. No one would have thought that they would arrive so far from the north. Or, the evil forces in Dolgurdu are still growing. Recently, black clouds have often floated in the east, but we never thought that the first attack would start from Moria." Harda lowered his eyes and thought. "But you found this troop that was defeated by us on the banks of the Anduin River. We haven't gotten deep into Rohan for some time. The evil forces are becoming stronger, and the shadows are spreading to this land."

Zelin recalled the map he had seen before.

"Mordor is still separated from here by a country. Maybe before worrying about Mordor and Dolgurdu, it is better to worry about the orcs in Moria, they are close at hand, and they are gearing up, ready to kill them at any time." Said. "There are ogres and orcs in it. They can even crawl along the rock wall. I know there are very elite soldiers here, but the orcs are too close here. If you can, why not take the orcs in there first? Destroy it?"

"Stepping into Moria is not the right choice, human." Harda's finger touched his forehead lightly. "The dwarves dug too deep inside, looking for treasure unrestrainedly. Nearly a thousand years ago, they awakened some terrible creature in the mine, so that their fortress had to be abandoned. Neither will we Stepping into Moria is like a dwarf who has never stepped into Lothlorien since the time of Turin."

"Um... don't tell me, if the orcs you hunted escaped into Moria, you would stand on the border of the Turin Stone as before, waiting for all the orcs to escape?" Zelin sighed. After a sigh of relief, Altarel said that they had not made contact with the compatriots in the north for some time, but now it seems that the relationship between the elves and the dwarves is not very good no matter where they are. He originally thought it was only Thorin offending Thranduj, but now it seems that Zelin made a mistake. He shouldn't expect the elves to fight side by side with the dwarves at any time.

"Of course not, but we can't venture into places that we don't understand." Altariel said next to him. "We don’t know anything about the situation in the mine until now. After we figure out the situation inside, we can find a way to destroy the orcs there. And whether we want to set foot in Moria, we have to wait for Lord Celeborn and Galadriel. Madam’s decision."

"Yes, you should wait for your ruler's decision." Zelin rubbed the tip of his nose. "But I hope you will not take what I said as false. The army of orcs is right in front of you, it's just blocked by the rocks."

Demon hunters have warned others of the immediate danger more than once, but few farmers are willing to believe that more and more sunny weather is a sign of the emergence of demon spirits in the daytime, or tell them not to look at the fish that appear on the beach. , He hurriedly ran over to fish with the net, in fact, this might be because Hekna was driving them away. Of course, before burning eyebrows, who would be willing to prepare a bucket of cold water.

"We will be vigilant, and..."

"Altariel." An elf suddenly appeared beside them, and the silver-gray cloak changed behind them. "Mrs. Galadriel hopes to see you."

Altariel opened his eyes slightly unexpectedly, and then nodded. "I'm going now."

"Well, since you need time to decide, then I will return to Moria first, my friend is still there..."

"Our guests hope to see you." The elf messenger suddenly said to Zelin. "He invites you to go."

"What?"

This time, it was Zelin's turn to be surprised.

"Please follow me." The elf messenger made a please gesture to the demon hunter.

The demon hunter recalled it in his mind, and finally he determined that he could not know anyone in the Lorraine Forest. "Can you tell me who the person who wants to see me is?"

"Please come with me, time waits for no one." The elf once again made a please gesture to Zelin. And Altariel has already walked into the woodland. She is an elf who lives here, and she understands Lothlorien's path.

"Can I talk to my friend when I have time?"

Virginia was still waiting in front of Moria's gate. Originally, Zelin told her that she would be back soon. But now it seems that the demon hunter does not think that someone in the forest wants to see him, just to ask something that Harda already knows.

"Of course."

The demon hunter went back and told Virginia that someone in the forest wanted to see him, someone he didn't know, at least before they met, he didn't know if he knew each other. The mage girl was worried about this, but Zelin didn't think so. He told Virginia that if possible, the elves would allow her to live in the tree house in the forest, but as he thought, the mage girl was more willing to rest in a place she was familiar with.

The dwarves have returned to the second hall, and they will send someone to monitor the Moria Long Bridge to ensure that the blocked orcs are still there. When Zelin and the Elf Messenger went to Lothlorien, the sky was getting dark. Zelin wanted to talk to the Elf Messenger on the road. It would be best if you could ask about the elves here, or if there are orcs in other places. Of the trail. But soon he realized that this was completely futile.

Until reaching Lothlorien.

This is a hill in the forest bell. The thriving lush woods guard the hills like the gems surrounding the crown. On the hills, there are many snow-white trees. These trees have no leaves and are constructed by a huge canopy. Became the foundation of Lothlorien. Pavilions, stairs and attic towers stand on top of trees, and finely carved wooden bridges connect different platforms, spreading like gray silk. The demon hunter could vaguely see the elves living on it, and the sweet laughter fell on the ground like silver bells.

"So." Zelin stopped looking at the elf who was still advancing. "Can you tell me who wants to see me?"

"It seems that they didn't tell you everything, my friend." An old and kind voice appeared in Zelin's ears. The demon hunter followed the voice and looked over. A gray-robed wizard appeared on the two snowy white ones. Between the trees.

"Gandalf?"

"It's me, Zelin." Gandalf walked out with a smile. "Welcome to the city of the tree people."

The first thousand six hundred and sixty-nine chapters Gandalf's request

This is really the last surprise.

"Gandalf, I didn't expect to see you here."

"I didn't expect that how many years have passed, and you are back, still at this time." The gray-robed wizard sat on the emerald hill lawn, and he didn't seem to have changed anything compared to decades ago. "You came back at the right time. Recently, there have been more and more bad things, but no one can guess that evil tentacles will stick out from Moria first. If you hadn’t warned in advance, old Bahrain and the others would suffer accidents. ."

Gandalf did not ask Zelin where he went, nor did the demon hunters say, they all ignored this question. It doesn't make much sense.

"I originally thought that the king of the orcs was dead, and they fell apart and were hunted down. So now it should be an era when the world is peaceful and people can enjoy life." Zelin set his hand. "So my friend and I came here on vacation, and brought Thorin's letter to see Bahrain, and also wanted to visit Bilbo. As a result, we met an orc here in Moria."

"Have you foreseen this?"

"No, this group of orcs had bad luck and happened to hit me. If they know to clean up the traces left by the march, maybe I have arrived in Baicheng now, looking for a suitable hotel." Zelin shook his head. He stretched out his hand to Gandalf. "Is there any tobacco?"

"Charles?"

"Yeah, you gave it to me before, I ran out of it."

"Have you not returned to the Shire in these years?"

"I haven't been anywhere in these years." Zelin shrugged. Of course, I have been everywhere. But he didn't say this sentence. "Tell me, what happened when I was away?"

"I just visited Bilbo some time ago, and he is living very well now." Gandalf took out a small smear of tobacco and handed it to Zelin. "Remember the Baidaohui I mentioned? Not long after you left, we held a meeting and we were discussing the matter of the Supreme Lord of the Rings."

"The Supreme Lord of the Rings?"

"Yes." Gandalf raised his eyebrows. "You don't know? Okay. In the past, Demon King Sauron pretended to be Ananta and came to Erigian's elf palace. He visited the elf lord Kylebripon and taught him the craftsmanship of forging the ring of power. So Keller Bleepeng forged sixteen powerful rings, the world elves cast three rings, the dwarves under the ground had seven rings, and Shouding mortals had nine rings. But in addition, Sauron himself forged one of the most powerful rings. It is the Supreme Lord Ring, the Supreme Lord Ring can control creatures wearing other rings, and it will only serve Sauron."

"If I were that Sauron, I would not only forge sixteen, I would forge more and distribute it to more people with rights and influence, and then put on the supreme lord of the ring that can control other rings. At least I saw that the human kings in the north did not have any mysterious rings in the hands, nor did the dwarves." Zelin raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was gradually darkening, the sun was fading, and the stars hiding behind the sky gradually revealed them. Glorious. "Don't tell me that the demon king has completed his plan and is ready to do something."
