The leader of the orcs rode a wolf and approached slowly. Seeing that the hunting targets were all here, he laughed triumphantly, showing his sharp and disgusting yellow teeth.

"It's really disgusting." Aaron curled his lips in disgust.

Ouli took out his slingshot and fired a stone.

The stone hit the warg on the head, but it didn't hurt.

call out!

Aaron shot an arrow, and the orcs at the head bowed down to avoid it.

But at this moment, Aaron's second arrow shot at the waist of the wolf, and the orc headed by the wolf fell to the ground under the violent shaking of the wolf.

"Damn bastard." The leader of the orcs roughly pulled out the arrows from the wolf's body, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll kill you first in a while."

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first." Aaron walked to Thorin and said in a low voice.

"This principle does not apply to these beasts. Regardless of whether the leader is dead or not, they will never give up hunting us."

"I know, but it's still important to lead.

When I kill him later, you charge the big guy and break out from his direction. "

Thorin took a deep look at Aaron, and was extremely surprised by the 13-year-old child, "How sure are you that you can survive?"

"Well... If there is no accident, you are all dead, and I can live well."

"Understood." Thorin nodded heavily, "I didn't expect that I would entrust the safety of the expedition team to a child.

Kili, give him your arrow. "

"Sorin, this..."

"give him."

"Yes."

Qi Li put the remaining less than ten arrows into Aaron's quiver, "We must follow here alive."

Aaron took a deep breath and quickly drew the bowstring.

An arrow shot at the headed orc at an extremely fast speed.

The head orc dodged immediately when he saw this, but was still shot by an arrow in his arm, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground while suffering from pain.

"what!"

The leading goblin screamed, but he opened his mouth when an arrow pierced his throat.

"kill!"

roared Thorin, and the twelve dwarves and Bilbo charged after Thorin.

At this moment, Gandalf's voice suddenly sounded, "Go this way, fool."

The pace of everyone's charge stopped instantly, and they were at a loss for a while.

Thorin turned around and saw that Gandalf was lying under a boulder less than ten meters away from them, and there seemed to be a cave hidden there.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Aaron said angrily, "Hurry up and run!"

"Hurry up, everyone." Thorin took the lead and ran over, and then guarded the entrance to cover his teammates' retreat.

Members of the expedition jumped into the cave one by one, and the wolf spies quickly surrounded them.

Thorin beheaded a worg that rushed over with a single sword, and after making sure that there were no omissions, he was the last one to jump into the cave.

Several half-orcs looked at the entrance. It seemed that the cave wargs couldn't get in. Even they could only enter one by one.

Aaron returned Kili's arrow to him, "Let's guard it first!"

The two shot arrows respectively, and the two half-orcs were shot to deter the other half-orcs from approaching.

Without the leader, the remaining wolf spies, although they have a numerical advantage, are helpless in the face of this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack cave.

woo...

The sound of horns came from a distance, followed by the sound of horseshoes.

The sound of arrows piercing the air, the sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh, the wailing of wargs and the screams of orcs mixed together made people curious about the situation outside.

Although it is not known which righteous man came to help, their crisis has been temporarily lifted.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the body of a half-orc rolled down.

Thorin pulled out a silver arrow from the corpse, and his face sank immediately, "Elf."

"The one above is an elf?" Aaron looked at Gandalf, as if he understood why the other party left the team halfway.

"I can't see where the passage leads, do you want to go?" Dwalin noticed the light in the depths of the cave, turned around and asked everyone.

"Of course I have to go." Nuoli said directly, this is the only way, and I can't do it if I don't want to.

"That is wise," said Gandalf, smiling.

"You know where this road leads?" Aaron asked.

"Well... you will understand when you arrive."

Everyone walked through a narrow and steep path that could only accommodate one person, and stopped at the exit.

"It's... so beautiful here." Aaron looked at the river valley in front of him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. "If Shire is suitable for retirement, then this is definitely a resort for vacation."

In the middle of the valley was a beautiful city, with pines on the upper reaches and beeches and oaks on the lower.

Several waterfalls fall from the mountain wall, injecting vitality into the city, and finally flow into the river below.

"What is this place?"

"Imlatri Valley." Gandalf explained with a smile, "that's what the common people say..."

"Rivendell." Bilbo couldn't help saying the name of the place.

"you know?"

"This is the territory of the elves. The book describes it as a fairyland. I really didn't expect that I could see it with my own eyes."

"Here is the last refuge of the Eastern Sea," continued Gandalf.

Thorin walked up to Gandalf impatiently, and said in a questioning tone, "You have been planning to lure us here to seek refuge from our enemies."

"Your so-called enemy saved us just now?"

"Who knows if they have ulterior motives."

Hearing this, Aaron was speechless, and Thorin's resentment towards the elves was really deep.

"You have no enemies here, Thorin Oakenshield, the only hostility in the Vale comes from you," said Gandalf.

"You think the elves will bless our expedition?" Thorin shook his head. "They will try to stop us."

"Of course, but we have questions to answer."

Thorin was speechless for a moment, the map his father left him had a way to enter the Lonely Mountain, but not many people could interpret it, and there happened to be one in Rivendell.

He regarded the elves as enemies, and he would naturally feel humiliated in his heart to ask the enemy for help, but he had to do so if he wanted to unlock the secrets of the map.

"You need to use your wrists to succeed in this matter, respect." Gandalf looked at Thorin meaningfully, meaning that when we arrive in Rivendell, please calm down and don't cause trouble.

"It also needs a charming charm, so I will be in charge of the negotiations."

"Charming charm?" Aaron curled his lips in disgust, "You are really thick-skinned, can you change your clothes before you say this?

To be honest, if you go in with an empty bowl now, you may come out with a full load. "

"Gaius." Gandalf rolled his eyes at him, "I remember I said that you still need to understand the most basic manners."

Walking down the river valley along a rugged path, and passing through several narrow stone bridges, everyone came to a wide platform.

Two elf warriors stood at the entrance of Rivendell holding swords. They were almost indistinguishable from humans except for their pointed ears.

"Mislanda."

A male elf came down the stairs and saluted Gandalf.

"Linde." Gandalf greeted with a smile.

"Your name is Misranda?" Aaron asked.

"Don't worry, this is what some elves call me." Gandalf shrugged, then looked at Linde, "I have to talk to King Elrond."

"King Elrond is not here."

"Not here? Where is he then?"

The voice fell, and the melodious sound of the horn came from behind.

Hearing this voice, Gandalf seemed to understand something, and turned around with a smile.

An elf cavalry returned to Rivendell through the stone bridge. Seeing this, Thorin thought that the elves were going to attack them, and immediately asked everyone to gather for battle.

The thirteen dwarves took up their weapons vigilantly, and without any explanation, they protected Bilbo in the middle. He was at a loss and looked confused.

Snapped!

Aaron patted his forehead and turned his face away speechlessly.

What about respect?Still want to ask for help with this attitude?

As soon as he came back, you acted as if you were facing a big enemy. Is this different from provocation?

And could it be a little wiser?

This is someone else's territory, so even if you are upset with the elves, you should pay attention to the occasion!

Gandalf was also quite depressed. Fortunately, he was in charge of negotiating. If it was someone else, he would definitely be kicked out as a bad guest.

Chapter 242 The Riddle in the Secret, Make You Familiar

"Gandalf."

"King Elrond." Gandalf smiled and stepped forward. "My friend, where have you been?"

"We went hunting the half-orc army from the south and killed a few near the secret passage." King Elrond gave Gandalf a hug after dismounting, "The half-orcs dare to approach our borders, something or someone must attract killed them."

"It may be us." Gandalf said, and Thorin took a few steps forward with a blank expression.

King Elrond noticed the dwarf prince, and his expression became solemn, "Welcome, Thorin, son of Thorne."

"I don't think we've met."

"You look like your grandfather, who was King of the Mountain when I met Thor."

"Really? He never mentioned you." Thorin said lightly.

King Elrond didn't care about the plain tone of the other party either. Elves have an extremely long lifespan. Regardless of his identity, Thorin's grandfather was also a junior in front of him.

"Since you have come from a long way, let's go after eating!"

King Elrond spoke these words in the Elvish tongue, but Thorin could not understand them, and the dwarves behind him still could not understand them.

"What is he talking about? Is he insulting us?" Groin said angrily.

"No, Mr. Groin, he wants to treat you to dinner." Gandalf explained immediately.

The dwarves gathered together and discussed for two seconds.

Ge Luoyin's attitude improved slightly, "If this is the case, then lead the way!"

Walking up the stairs, Aaron looked at the river valley curiously. The peace and tranquility were even better than that of Shire. However, compared with the hobbit settlement, Rivendell has elite armed forces and gives people a sense of security. .

"Sorin, did you know this elf king before?" Aaron asked puzzledly, "Although it's the first time I've seen you, I don't think King Elrond is like the kind of person who has nothing to do with himself and hangs himself high." people."

"It's not him." Thorin shook his head complicatedly, "It's another elf."

"Oh!" Aaron raised his eyebrows. "In this case, I hope you remember what Gandalf said, and restrain your arrogance a little bit. After all, we are asking for help."

Thorin paused slightly, "Let's see what happens!"

Entering the banquet hall, the elves prepared beautiful music and exquisite green food to entertain the guests from afar.

But the dwarves don't know how to appreciate music, and they are full of disgust for the food on the table.

Aaron and Bilbo looked at each other, dumbfounded.

There is no meat on the plate, except for some dim sum, it is all fresh vegetables.
