Chapter 30: Encounters
There are more hints of domination than before, and ordinary people will feel that juggernaut is humanized when they see it, and this product actually knows how to complain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Ling Qi tasted something deeper from it!
For example, the special attention of the Juggernaut to him, such as the description of the Juggernaut, the nature of the current world!
The essence of this world is actually a piece of music? Such a concept is useless to Ling Qi!
The essence of this world is imperfect, and only imperfection can set off perfection, only destruction can give meaning to creation, and only the power of creation can evolve into a new world!
Such a concept is very precious to Ling Qi!
Maybe the misty mountains' concealment of the aura is not just a simple cover-up!
Perhaps, he was able to swallow the Heart of the Mountains without being affected by that pure light and life energy, not because the creator of the Heart of the Mountains was higher and willing to embrace everything!
Maybe it just has to be, the One God doesn't like darkness and ugliness, but it has to allow evil, otherwise the light will lose its meaning!
This is sometimes an extremely simple truth in human society, such as raising self-respect.
But once it is put to the essence of the world, it is confusing, because light and darkness are indeed opposites in terms of rules, and there is no possibility of you and me at all!
But... World!
Does the material world have the characteristics of carrying and accommodating everything? If there really is a mother earth, the arms of this mother will definitely not be open only to certain people and certain types of people, and fraternity knows no bounds.
Ling Qi harvested the Heart of the Mountains, harvested a prop that he didn't know how to use for the time being, and even gained some inspiration that no matter how many Mountain Hearts couldn't exchange!
The world is the carrier of rules, but also the cornerstone of rules, and they are the cornerstones of each other.
Darkness will be repelled by light, but what can repel darkness will not be the original will of the world!
What rejects him is not the darkness, but only his identity as an outsider!
The general trend, the trend, the situation, layer by layer, he used to always stare at the situation, but also understood the trend, understand some of the general trend, but never thought that there would be something else, or even dominate the general trend!
At present, the situation in Middle-earth is that Smaug will become the enemy of life, it is dead, the trend is that the evil that rises again will be defeated again, and it is the general trend of this world, the concept of justice that will prevail!
So, what determines the formation of this idea, and why!
Few people think, and the gaze and horizon often define the boundaries of thinking.
The peaks of the Misty Mountains are always connected, and they are still at Brad Peak when they start, and they are likely to be standing on Quezas Peak more than ten kilometers away when they reach the end.
Before reaching the highest pass, some of the adventurers couldn't hold on.
Thorin had to take the lead in finding a leeward cave for everyone to rest and recuperate.
The group did not dare to go deeper, God knows what is in the depths of the cave and where it leads. Maybe that's the Rivendell that Thorin doesn't want to talk about, and maybe it's the lair of evil creatures that everyone doesn't want to encounter.
"Hey, Lynch, have you ever been here?"
The two groups of people gathered together according to their respective races, but the drunkard Dwalin was aroused by the smell of fine wine, and mingled with the guards with his face, and accosted the most familiar Ling Qi.
Ling Qi's mind had already returned, and the Heart of the Mountains and the demons had returned to the Demon Treasure Realm.
After this incident, he realized that he had not developed the usefulness of the clone before, underestimating its capabilities, perhaps its belly should be stuffed with all kinds of equipment and supplies, it seemed to be a natural storage space, far larger than the actual visual capacity.
"No, this is my first time on this road. ā
Ling Qi replied casually, took the cold venison jerky from the head of the guard, and chewed on the spirits.
"Goodo~ That's a pity~ It would be nice to have a familiar way~"
Dwarin's eyes stared directly at the wine jug in Ling Qi's hand, which made people suspect that he was not sorry for not leading the way, but regretted that such a good wine could not enter his stomach.
Thorin, who was sitting in the distance, glanced at the dwarf who left the team, and didn't want to say anything, after all, it was the old man who followed him, and his sense of Ling Qi and his party was not bad, but it was impossible to treat it like a clansman.
"Hehe, there's nothing to be sorry for, if you have to get lost from the highest pass through the Misty Mountains, then we will hide at home in the future. ā
"Here, take a sip, it's a freshly brewed goodie!"
Ling Qi's voice was a little louder, and Dwarin completely ignored the first half of his words, and took the flat flask as if he was robbing it, and poured it up, muttering with a face full of enjoyment, maybe agreeing with Ling Qi's statement, maybe just praising the deliciousness of the spirits.
"Goo-toot!"
There was a sudden silence in the group of dwarves, followed by the sound of swallowing saliva.
The corners of Thorin's eyes twitched, and a hint of embarrassment and unswerving flashed across his face.
He was about to say something, to remind the dwarves to pay attention to the racial image, but the old Barin beside him shook his head at him, shaking the empty iron kettle in his hand.
The dwarves were heavy drinkers, and they didn't forget to take a few sips when they walked on the mountain roads, and the containers they used for wine were not large, because the altitude was too low, and the weapons and equipment and other necessary supplies had already taken up empty seats on their bodies.
"Thorin, we're all friends, let's go over together. ā
Balin's proposal immediately drew the approval of several dwarves, including Thorin's nephew, the dark-haired Chili.
Ever since this kid had seen Ling Qi's majesty, he had admired him a little, but it wasn't too obvious.
"That's right, Thorin, why are you so clear from them, they're all friends!"
One of the last of the three brothers to arrive when he was summoned earlier, Duo Li, a dwarf who was not an acquaintance with Ling Qi at all, also began to help.
In all fairness, Thorin has been dividing the two teams so much lately, not because he has any opinion about Ling Qi, but because of his pride.
is also a down-and-out royal family, and his bloodline is more pure, why is it the same as a subsidiary?
Jiuen became an enemy, because everyone has self-esteem. Now, in terms of strength, power, and financial resources, Ling Qi is several grades stronger than Sorin, so he can't help but think about it too much. Onlookers don't care who has a background or not, and who will be an empty shell.
"Okay, but be polite, we..."
"Oh, long live Thorin, human friends, get ready for wine, I'm here with Master Pomber!"
Pomber, who had never had a sense of presence and was a little lazy, didn't wait for Thorin to finish speaking, and stood up with a hula and rushed to the camp of his allies.
This guy and Dwalin have a lot of hobbies in common, but the relationship between the two is average, because Dwalin is indeed a pretty good fighter except for those bad habits. And Pomber...
Thorin's face darkened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
The other dwarves weren't as ostentatious as Pomber, but they stared at their leader with blazing eyes and anticipation.
Thorin had no choice but to take the lead and walk over.
The process of re-becoming close to friends was not as difficult as Thorin had imagined, and everyone from Lynch to any of the regular guards was as friendly to the dwarves as they were at Mead Manor.
Thorin felt reassured, but even felt an inexplicable sense of guilt for a while, as if humans and dwarves were good friends in the first place, but he, the leader of the dwarves, was in the way, trying to alienate the originally friendly relationship.
This was not Thorin's original purpose, he just didn't want the dwarves and humans to get too close, or he didn't want the dwarves to forget who they were, where they were.
It's a complex mind that's hard to understand, and he's probably the only one out of all who haunts it.
Ling Qi laughed and talked with Old Balin, and turned a blind eye to Thorin's unexpected silence.
The more the dwarven king wants to show nature, the more easily he will expose more unnaturalness.
He really doesn't want much, whether others don't want to give, or too much will make him entangled, the boring sense of honor is always a thorn in his heart, whether he admits it or not.
After resting for about half an hour, when everyone was full of wine and food, just as Ling Qi wanted to remind Thorin that it was time to go on his way, he suddenly looked into the depths of the cave in surprise!
The cave is located on the mountain wall, not far from the trail around the mountain, but it is quite secluded due to the overgrown weeds that grow around it.
However, from the path to the cave, there were obvious signs of human climbing and trampling in the middle, and it was these traces that Thorin had followed to find this place.
This shows that this cave is also a default transit station and rest point on the journey, at least someone has been there.
There are many such places in the wilderness, because few people can walk long distances without eating or drinking, or climb over the misty mountains. Most people need to find such a sheltered haven to rest on the way, and people have often left a lot of clues and experiences before them, which are the intangible wealth of adventurers, which can also be called experience.
The wide entrance to the cave, the green weeds around the cave, and the absence of signs of fighting in the cave prove that the place is safe and naturally formed.
They didn't light a bonfire, they were adventurous, and they couldn't have attracted something bad from the depths!
Xi Suosuo's voice gradually became clearer, and the silence of Ling Qi forced the two companions to remain silent. By the time Thorin heard the movement and woke up from his thoughts, the "enemy" in the darkness was very close to them!
"Hmm, be careful! There's something in there! Prepare your weapons! Fight! Prepare for battle!"
Thorin is definitely a qualified commander, and it is better to make arrangements as soon as he notices an anomaly, whether it is right or wrong, than to hesitate in the event of an emergency.
He was the first to stand up, and with a flick of his foot, he brought a longsword lying on the ground to the vice-captain of the guard, Nitin, who had just been drinking with Dwalin, and was a little forgetful.
"Dvalin!
"Where's your bow! Let me see if your archery skills have improved!"
Thorin, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have some kind of new consciousness, and suddenly became much more cheerful, turning around the dwarven command while not forgetting to greet the human escort captain.
"Farion? Yes! I remember your name was Farion! You're a good fighter! Now, I'm looking forward to fighting alongside you again!"
Thorin reached out and patted Farrion on the back, but Farion didn't dodge.
He didn't care about the dwarves' overtures and wooing, but the friendliness of the king of the mountain still made the little dissatisfaction he had with Thorin disappear.
"Honorable King of the Mountain, it is also an honor for me to fight alongside such a great figure as you. ā
Farion complimented, he didn't know what the king of the mountain was, but he had heard some adventurers who stayed in the land of honey said that the king of the dwarves had a glorious past.
As he spoke, he habitually looked at Ling Qi, waiting for instructions, but also to show obedience, so that his boss could understand that he knew very well who was the boss.
Unexpectedly, he saw three pestles of wood that did not move there, and the actions of the three giants of Lingqi made many guards in a dilemma, not knowing whether to listen to Thorin who turned into a glacier and volcano, or imitate his own boss who was like a Medusa witch.
"Lynch! you, you-"
Only then did Thorin notice the abnormality of the three of Ling Qi, and immediately frowned and shouted in displeasure!
