126. Middle-earth is picturesque A
Bilbo Baggins was originally a carefree hobbit who lived in the picturesque Shire, but one morning he met a bearded wizard and his whole life changed forever.
The sorcerer brought in the dwarves, who ate up his food. The dwarf told a story, and as soon as he woke up, he decided to follow the adventure.
In fact, he refused at first, but the adventure factor that was different from other hobbits in his bones prompted him to follow.
In fact, he had many opportunities to refuse along the way, first when he forgot to take his handkerchief, and the dwarf casually pulled a piece of cloth and threw it to him to make a handkerchief, he could refuse;
And then when they encounter a troll, and he is almost roasted and eaten, he can still refuse;
Then, when they managed to escape from the trolls, and then encountered the orcs who were cruel and ugly and completely unsuitable for the hobbit's aesthetic, he felt that he could still refuse.
But it didn't work, he signed the offer and the hobbit did what he said, but after a few escapes, his heart was broken, and he wanted to strangle the neck of Gandalf, the wizard who had led the dwarves to the bottom of his bag - this was very difficult to visualize, given that he was only half the height of Gandalf - and roared at him, you didn't say it would be that dangerous, I was hurt in the heart, will you compensate me?
Well, the hobbits, who love peace and tranquility, can't do anything like that, especially as Gandalf is leading them to Rivendell, and Baggins thinks it's not too late to talk to Gandalf about life after visiting Rivendell, the elven dwelling, the last elven sanctuary east of the sea.
Rivendell is hidden in the treacherous valleys, forests, swamps, and streams, and her majesty and magnificence can be felt from afar. After that, they walked down a moss-covered white gravel path to Rivendell, and Baggins smelled the fresh air of the trees and couldn't help but feel the inside, God knows how much he missed the fresh air and delicious food of the Charles.
After crossing a very narrow, unguarded bridge, they finally made their way to Rivendell.
The dwarves led by Thorin are very restless, Baggins is still quite confused, the dwarves and elves don't seem to be very friendly with each other, what happened between them?
As Baggins wandered out of the sky, a clear sound came from above, not a lingua franca, but it sounded like the crisp tinkling of a clear stream hitting the pebbles, and reminded Baggins of the brilliant summer flowers that bloomed in the summer Shire.
Baggins couldn't help but look up, and unconsciously opened his mouth wide, as if he saw the rising sun, the morning sun that radiated a dazzling but not scorching daylight. When Baggins looked at it again, it was not the rising sun, but an elf, an elf shining in the sun.
He has a beauty that transcends gender and race, and people can't help but come forward to worship and listen to him, Baggins sighed in his heart, he is indeed a unique elf.
Unfortunately, not everyone had the heart to appreciate the beauty, and the dwarves shouted, "What is he talking about?" Is it insulting us? ”
Gandalf, who understood the elven language: "......" He didn't want to answer this question, but he didn't say it, naturally an elf said, he was very understanding and converted the elven language just now into a lingua franca, "I'm asking Mislanda, what is he going to do with thirteen gophers and a hamster?" ”
Thirteen Gophers/Dwarves: "......"
A hamster/hobbit: "......"
#死道友不死贫道#的甘道夫朝一上来就开群嘲的精灵露出笑容, "Oh, dear Estelle, long time no see. As he spoke, he held out his hand to Estelle to hug him.
"I refuse." Estelle, the elf with the common name Gu Qing said no, but he still reached out and hugged Gandalf, "To be exact, it's been ninety-one years since we last met. He let go of Gandalf, his blue eyes looking at the dwarves who had become more irritable by his words, and by the way, the hobbits in the dwarven pile, "Now that you've finally gathered your animal legions, you're going to march to the Lone Mountain to deal with the Charizard?" Well, I have to say, that might work out what you want. ”
Gandalf was stunned for a moment, and then obviously cheered up: "Really? ”
Gu Qing said ambiguously: "Maybe." ”
However, the dwarves in the "Animal Army" are not happy, the elves and dwarves don't like each other, and now they are sent to the door to be insulted, where can the dwarves who are not good-tempered not blow up. However, the eldest of the dwarves, and a rare wise man among the dwarves, Balindo, who had a large white beard, had a long eye, and glanced at Gandalf, who looked strange, but he also grabbed Thorin who was about to rise up, the leader of this group of dwarves, who was also the royal family of the dwarves, and now they were in the territory of the elves.
Gandalf also gave Gu Qing a look and asked him to spray less venom, but the effect was not very good, because at this time there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the dwarves, who were already irritable, became nervous, and they formed a circle, wielding axes and sticks in their hands.
From the bridge came a troop of cavalry, who rode over and circled the dwarves in a circle.
Gu Qing said slowly: "As you can see, this is a dismount, in every sense. ”
Dwarf: "......"
The Hobbit: "......"
Elven Cavalry: "......"
Gandalf: "......"
Last to come, Elond, Lord of Rivendell: "...... Estelle! ”
Gu Qing shrugged: "Okay, then welcome to Rivendell." ”
Gandalf ignored him and confronted Elon, who got off his horse and said to Gandalf, "We hunted a group of orcs from the south, and some near the secret pass, and it's strange that the orcs are so close to our borders, and something or someone has brought them here. ”
Gandalf graciously admitted: "Maybe it's because of us." Gandalf also felt a little strange about this, the orcs appeared too quickly, and they were going to kill their team.
Elon was noncommittal about this, and said to Thorrin: "Welcome, Thorrin, son of Thorne, grandson of Thor, you have the demeanor of your grandfather, whom I met when your grandfather was still ruling the Lonely Mountain. ”
Thorin tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Really? I've never heard him mention you. ”
When Elon spoke again, it was a string of elven words, and the dwarves who had heard a string of elven words just now became irritable again: "Is he insulting us again?" ”
Hearing this, Ailong looked at Gu Qing with a little reproachful, but more conniving, Gu Qing looked innocent, "But I also blessed them." ”
As soon as he said this, Elon looked at Gandalf, who smiled and didn't speak. Elon thought that he should not be like the rude and stubborn dwarves, so he repeated in the lingua franca what he had just said in Elven language about preparing food for guests from afar.
The dwarves are still blindfolded, so when did the blonde elves bless them? Although we are not like humans and elves who are the supreme god of Aerutron, but we are also one of the main gods, Oliver Zào, who woke up a little later than you elves, you elves don't want to lie to us!
The only hobbit was also confused, but he was also hungry and didn't have so much energy to think about anything else, so he followed the dwarves with the crowd. But what he didn't expect was that the blonde elf walked behind, right next to him, and Baggins's heart was pounding, and he heard people say, "Bilbo Baggins? ”
"Yes, yes." Baggins stammered in reply, but how did the elf know his name?
Gu Qing half-lowered his eyes and said meaningfully, "I have heard your name. ”
Baggins was flattered, he tried to look up at Gu Qing, but unfortunately he could only see the blond hair that was like pouring moonlight: "Uh, did you hear it from Gandalf?" "But didn't they say they hadn't seen each other in ninety-one years? Do they have a special way of communicating?
"Perhaps," Gu Qing said with a smile, "Let me think about it, you are a little different from ordinary hobbits, they usually stick to the rules and settle for the status quo, well, and now that you are here, it shows the bravery of hobbits." Courage is the best word for stupidity, you say? ”
Baggins: "...... I don't think you're saying a good thing. ”
"No, brave hobbit, it's a compliment, a compliment that you didn't choose to do nothing." Gu Qing said with an aria. Baggins is full of black lines, this is still not a good word, the next moment the handsome face of the blonde elf appeared in front of him, making Baggins choke back with all his complaints, I am afraid that no one will say harsh words to such a face, no matter what time it is, it is #Yan is justice#Ah.
But when did they both get the same height?
Baggins fixed to see where there was still the figure of the blonde elf in front of him: "......!! Baggins couldn't help but look around, well, he jumped up and jumped over a group of dwarves about as tall as him, and saw the bright gold at the front, and the other party seemed to feel something, turned his head and winked at Baggins mischievously right eye.
Baggins: "......"
What made the hobbit even more black was that the dwarves in front of them pushed each other for that "wink" -
"Chili, did you throw it to you?"
"Fili, did you sneak some hints to people before?"
"It can't be that you have a crush on the handsome me, right? But I don't like elves! ”
"Thorin, I think he's flattering you, you're the highest among us!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know him!"
"Hey, hey."
Baggins: "......" slots are silent, and can you be quieter when you say "whispering"? Everyone hears it, okay? No, I guess all of Rivendell heard it.
Gandalf: "......"
Elon: "......"
The initiator said slowly, "I think I have made a significant contribution to the peaceful coexistence of elves and dwarves, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this, Elon immediately turned his head and spoke to Gandalf without distracting himself: "Tell me, my dear old friend, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
Gandalf replied equally distractedly: "Oh, Lord Gloryn, thank you for inviting us, and forgive me for not being dressed up. ”
Gu Qing puffed up his face unhappily, and said with a turn of eyebrows: "Oh, Mithranda, I hope you have a good meal later, don't-"
Gu Qing was interrupted by Gandalf's coughing and coughing before he finished speaking, and he said with a smile and a smile: "Estelle, just let me go, I haven't had a good meal along the way!" "For Gu Qing, who has a very high success rate of the words he said, Gandalf really loves and hates, just like when Gu Qing said in front of the Rivendell Palace that he led the animal legion, ahem, it was the team composed of thirteen dwarves and a hobbit to recover the lonely mountain to achieve the effect he wanted, Gandalf was sincerely happy, which undoubtedly boosted his confidence in defeating the evil dragon. But what Gu Qing said was not all good, he was simply indiscriminately attacking, Gandalf really wanted to have a good meal, and he choked on water if he didn't want to.
Gu Qing didn't accept such an accusation, he tilted his head, and the blonde hair that poured the glow slid down from his shoulders, revealing a smile as bright as his blonde hair: "I just want to tell you, Mithranda, the bigger surprise is still to come." But since you told me not to speak, then I won't reveal it to you in advance. ”
Gandalf: "......"
Gandalf looked at Elon, who didn't squint. It's not just Gandalf, the brown-robed wizard who is one of the five Maias who came to Middle-earth, who understands the truth of #Dead Friends Don't Die Poor#, and although he is still an Ada, the child's wings are stiff when he grows up, and it is difficult to take care of it.
Gandalf touched his nose, so that the only good meal on the way was eaten up and down, but when he finished eating, the imaginary choking on drinking did not happen, I don't know if it was because he interrupted it in time.
After eating, Gandalf persuaded Thorin to take out the map he had obtained and ask Elon to translate it.
Elon took it and saw the ancient dwarf on it, "Iruba, why are you interested in this map?" ”
Before Thorin could speak, Gandalf snapped up, "It's mostly academic, and as we all know, these things sometimes contain hidden messages. ”
How could Elon not understand that this was Gandalf's excuse, he was very face-saving and did not pierce it, but unfortunately there were elves who came out to "spoil the scenery": "Hmm- you didn't say that ninety-one years ago, Misranda. Now you are not only pimping, but also have you to abandon the virtue of honesty? The second half of the sentence is that he also took care of Gandalf, which is said in Elven language.
Gandalf: "......" didn't expect to escape the imp's venom.
Elon cleared his throat, "Estelle, why haven't I heard you talk about this?" ”
Gu Qing's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he pushed this matter to Gandalf: "It was Mithlanda who didn't let me say it." "Ninety-one years ago, Gandalf sought out Thorne II, Thorin's father, and obtained a map of the Lonely Mountain and a secret door key. Gandalf came to him with the map, but it would take time to decipher the hidden message, and before the next "day" arrived, Gandalf left with the map and the secret key.
Thorin then asked Gandalf, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Gandalf glared at Gu Qing, Gu Qing smiled innocently, Gandalf surrendered, took out a book from his sleeve, Gu Qing took the book and immediately changed his words: "It means that Mithranda has worked hard for ninety-one years to help you dwarves recover the Lonely Mountain, which is really amazing!" ”
Thorin was skeptical: "Really? ”
Gu Qing said in a bright voice: "Naturally, Mithlanda is the most respected gray-robed wizard I have ever seen!" ”
- As if he had seen many grey-robed wizards, there was only one gray-robed wizard in Middle-earth, Gandalf, and one white-robed wizard, Saruman, a gray-robed wizard, Redagast, who lived in the dark jungle of Rothgar Castle and was a friend of animals, and two blue-robed wizards.
Gandalf has black lines all over his head.
What made Gandalf even more suspicious was that not only the skeptical Thorin, but also the hobbit Bilbo who was following him believed it, and Gandalf felt tired when he noticed their respectful gaze. If he had known that he would not deliberately hang Gu Qing's appetite, he would not have had so many bad things if he gave him the book early.
Ailong felt that his son was almost bullying people, so he faked a cough and signaled Gu Qingai to go where.
Gu Qing said that he listened to Ada, and he left obediently.
The corners of Elon's mouth curled, and as soon as he turned to meet Gandalf's resentful gaze, he cleared his throat and flattened the corners of his mouth, and very stiffly pulled the topic back to the map.
What else could Gandalf say, but it was a good thing that the "surprise" soon soothed his wounded heart, and he met Galadriel in Rivendell, one of the rulers of the Golden Forest of Roslorian, the most powerful elf in Middle-earth, the holder of Nanya, the Ring of Water in the Three Rings of the Elves, and his old friend.
It was indeed a surprise for Gandalf, and of course it would have been better if there had been no white-robed wizard Saruman, who and Saruman ...... It's a little out of tune, basically what he says, Saruman will refute it.
Just like this time, Gandalf thinks that the darkness is coming back and that something is moving in the shadows they can't see, while Saruman doesn't think so, he thinks that Gandalf is worrying about the sky, and he is suspicious when he has nothing to do all day← of course, but the meaning is pretty much the same.
Gandalf rolled his eyes in his heart, he would rather talk to Gu Qing's little ghost who could poison people by talking to Saruman. Ahem, since the flag has been set, wouldn't it be too chilling for the wizard if this wish is not fulfilled?
"Deflated again?" At this time, the "high-level meeting" had ended, and Gandalf was still worried, when a voice with a smile suddenly sounded, and he did not hide his ridicule.
Gandalf: "...... What do you mean by "again"? ”
Gu Qing explained seriously: "Again" means again, not the first time, and it also means that the tone is accentuated and further in this sentence. ”
Gandalf: "...... Saruman stated that if it were him, he would not tolerate the dwarven expedition. ”
Gu Qing laughed: "If he will agree, then there is a problem, I thought you were used to him and you working against you, besides, didn't that group of dwarves and a hobbit leave "quietly"?" Gu Qing accentuated the word "quietly" slightly, apparently Gandalf knew, and, "Galadriel agreed with you, and as for me, Ada, he pretended to be neutral, but didn't he turn a blind eye to the dwarves leaving Rivinedell?" Alright, Mithranda, don't secretly cry like a wronged child, let's get down to business. ”
Speaking of which, Galadriel is Ailong's mother-in-law, that is, Gu Qing's maternal grandmother.
Gandalf: "...... What did you Ada tell you? After asking Gandalf, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, after all, he had also seen Gu Qing's dominance and foresight more than once. There is no doubt that Gu Qing is the most special elf in the history of elves, but in today's Middle-earth world, it can be said that he is one of the most special elves in the past thousand years.
His father, Elon, is a half-elf born of the union of the human navigator Elendil and the elf Princess Erwyn Doriath, and his mother is the silver-crowned princess Calebrian, the only daughter of the elven lords of the Golden Forest, Calebon and Galadriel, and the child born from their union is naturally a half-elf. But there was an atavism in Gu Qing, he was stronger than his brothers and sisters, and could even be compared to Elon, which was evident from the fact that his hair was embellished with silver gold like Galadriel, instead of black.
This is considered a gift from the Supreme God, especially at a time when the hard-won peace is now being overshadowed.
Gu Qing said slowly, "Mithlanda, do you know? Actually, I don't mind if you praise me out loud. ”
Gandalf: "...... Ninety-one years later, your skin has thickened again. Okay, what are you going to do with me? ”
Gu Qing blinked: "I know, do you still have to catch up with the "Recovering Lonely Mountain" team with a very low center of gravity." I'll cut a long story short, I'm interested in Smaug. ”
Gandalf was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously became stern: "Estelle, that's the evil dragon!" It has no allegiance to anyone, but if it joins forces with its enemies, the consequences will be devastating. And didn't you say that this adventure would lead to the results I wanted? ”
Gu Qingmei fluttered and said, "It turns out that unconsciously, do you trust my ability to "do what I say"? I'm so glad to know that, Misranda. ”
Gandalf: "...... That's not the point! ”
Gu Qing laughed, like a hundred flowers blooming: "Maybe we can think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”
