Chapter 422: Keys and Maps
The old dwarf never said what was in his heart.
In fact, these dwarves didn't think Bella was so good-looking, she was too tall, her chin was too sharp, and her voice was soft and weak! In short, there are a lot of problems, but because of her request and natural reverence for the mage, the praise every day is quite sincere.
Bella didn't know these small details, she nodded: "Well, that makes sense...... It seems that the hobbit has a bad eye, or you dwarves have a vision! The dwarves are my true friends! ”
In the evening of the same day, the group arrived at Bilbo, a hobbit who was full of curiosity about the world and loved adventure. Baggins' house as a guest.
belongs to the kind of guest who doesn't know anyone on both sides and goes to someone's house to eat and drink.
Bella collected some information in the Shire, read a few local chronicles and biographies of historical figures, and waited for her to arrive in Bilbo. At the Bargins house, the dwarves began to eat.
The low wooden house made her a little uncomfortable, and she had to bend over to avoid the chandelier hitting her head.
"Excuse me, excuse me, sorry...... May I take the liberty of asking? Do I know you? Or rather...... Do you know me? "Maybe it's because Bella isn't as rude as the dwarves, Bilbo. Baggins stopped her, eagerly asking her doubts.
Bella cautiously walked around the chandelier before looking at the halfling in front of her.
Bilbo. Wearing bib pants and a linen shirt, Baggins has curly hair, pointed ears, and bare feet with very thick hair.
He also ignores Bella's beauty, and perhaps in his eyes, Bella is not as good-looking as the hobbit women from the same village.
Bella chuckled, this is too easy to explain.
Bilbo. Baggins is pure at heart, and she can see a lot of things without much effort.
"Of course, Dear Bilbo. Mr. Baggins, I ...... Well, I've known you for a long time, you loved adventures in the forest as a child, you loved to look for the ancient legends of the elves, you explored all the boundaries of the Shire, and you were curious about the outside world, right, I'm not wrong? Actually, we were all old friends of yours, when you were fifteen......"
A flicker, in Bilbo. With Baggins' bewildered gaze, Bella became his old friend.
It makes perfect sense to go to an old friend's house for a meal! As for bringing a few friends, that's understandable!
A bunch of dwarves and bella started in Bilbo. The Baggins family feasted and drank.
All kinds of mushrooms were brought together with bacon, fish and chips, and Bella grabbed one with one hand for cumin cake, which was much better than the food in the wild. Oak Shield didn't mention the fact that hedonistic life corroded the warrior's heart, and at this time he feasted on a plate of roast lamb that looked like it was full of color and flavor.
Rabbit meat, venison, cured pork, gnocchi, honey were served, and ten minutes were swept away. Baggins hurriedly brought them toast, cheese, apple pie, and broth.
Bella didn't care about any ladylike demeanor, and at this time she was full of oil, and in the middle of the way, she used strong means to snatch a small plate of bacon from the fat dwarf.
Originally, she was still thinking about whether she could move the people of Narnia to the Shire, but now that she looks at the ingredients on this table, forget it! Centaurs and half-sheep people may be able to live here, and if those little rabbits, little squirrels, and little turtles also live in, it is estimated that they will be served in three days, and what will they do then? Endure the pain and eat two more bowls?
After they had eaten and drunk, they used the long table at Bilbo's house to discuss the rest of the trip.
The Dwarven Council for Thorin. Oak Shield's actions are not supported, they need to rely on their own strength to return to the Lonely Mountain, get the Akon Gem, and the Seven Dwarven Kingdoms will obey Thorin's orders and send troops to rebuild the Irub Kingdom.
It is not difficult to return to the Lonely Mountain, the difficult part is that there is still a monster in the Lonely Mountain today.
"Fire-breathing mouth, razor-like teeth, and sharp claws...... Smaug, the last dragon in the world. The old dwarf Balin spoke of this insurmountable obstacle for all, and his old face was full of sorrow.
Wearing a dogskin hat, Bofo was straightforward, he had a pipe in his mouth, and his tone was brisk: "What are you afraid of? Now we have brave warriors and mages here! Miss Mage, you must have killed a dragon, right? How many have you killed? ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Bella coughed from her mouth, she pretended to choke on the pie, it was too embarrassing, how could she answer this?
While everyone was looking at her expectantly, and she didn't know how to answer, the old dwarf Balin relieved her.
"Even if we return to the Lonely Mountain, we will not be able to enter through the main gate, which is sealed, and as far as I know, there is only a very secret side door to enter the Lonely Mountain, but where the side gate is is known only to the king, and a key is required...... God knows where the key was left behind! ”
Bella immediately found the steps, and she pulled out a glittering key.
"It's a magic key that can be opened by any locked door, and of course, can only be used once." She took out the brass key she had previously found at an excavation site in the Sea of Galilee, Israel.
This key is certainly not the key lost by the dwarves, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter in the face of magic!
The Master Key can open any door, just to divert the awkward topic of killing dragons before.
"But where is this door? Thorin: Did you know? Is this side door in a visible place? Thorrin's nephew and brother of the most handsome dwarf, Chiri, couldn't help but ask.
Trying to find a stone door in a mountain sounds a bit difficult.
Their brothers are all dwarves born in the Blue Mountains and don't know much about the Lonely Mountains.
The dwarves all looked at Thorin. Oak shield.
He reached out and pulled a somewhat worn map out of his bosom.
"I don't want to deceive everyone, to be honest, I don't know where the door is, my father only left me a map, and didn't leave many clues."
He handed the map to Bella: "I need your knowledge to unlock the secrets of this map for me." ”
The floor drawings are yellowed and the corners are a little worn, but the text is clear, indicating that Thorin is well preserved.
"It's Elven language, and it seems to mention a secret passage that leads directly to the Lonely Mountain." Bella's elven language level is still very low, and she directly blessed herself with a language mastery.
"There should be more information, you can take a closer look." Thorin looked at her expectantly.
And also? Bella picked up the map and looked back and forth, and the text on this map was only a few lines on the left, and there was no text in the rest of the place! Is there any information you haven't found?
