Chapter 429: Misty Mountains
For the terrain of Warnerheim as a whole, there are more plains, but there are also many mountains here.
From the map, the mountains of the whole world form a zigzag.
To the north, from west to east, are the Blue Mountains, where Thorin has lived for the last hundred years, the headwaters of the Orcs, the Gondaba Mountains and the Grey Mountains, and the easternmost part, Thorin and his cousin Dane. Iron Hills ruled by Iron Feet.
The reason why Lonely Mountain is called Lonely Mountain is because it has nothing to do with the Gray Mountains and Iron Hills, and it is a very abrupt mountain in the northeast.
To the south are the White Mountains, which divide Alohan and Gondor, and the Ash Mountains and the Shadows, which half-surround Mordor.
One in the middle of the whole world is the Misty Mountains that Bella and they are now going to pass through, this mountain range runs through the north and south, and divides the continent into two regions, east and west, there are more plains to the west of the mountains, and there are more forests to the east of the mountains, the dark jungle of Serpa, the golden forest of Galadriel, and the Fagon forest of the tree people are all in the east.
Many well-known regions such as Rivendell, Moria's Pit, and Isengh are all in the north-south mountain range of the Misty Mountains.
Bella and Thorin travel east, and must pass through the Misty Mountains to reach the Lonely Mountain in the east.
There are many dangers in the Misty Mountains, and it is really dangerous to cross the mountains and mountains, and Elrond built the city here many years ago, and has been guarding this portal, in the hope of maintaining the passage between the east and the west, so that the elves of the eastern forests can follow this passage through the increasingly dangerous Misty Mountains to Grey Harbor.
This passage is exclusive to elves, and humans and dwarves are not welcome, but Bella feels that everyone is just passing by, and it shouldn't be difficult to talk about it.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
"Dwarves? Filthy dwarves? Leave Rivendell! If you dare to get closer, we will release the arrows! The elf, who was suspected to be the captain, said loudly.
"My friends and I won't be in Rivendell, we're just passing through, we're not going to get Ravendell in trouble." Bella felt that it was better to be polite to pass the road that people had worked so hard to maintain with their lives.
"I repeat, leave Rivendell!" The elven captain raised his longbow.
The remaining elves also drew their bowstrings to the bridle, and there was a great tendency to start a fight without saying a word.
To tell the truth, Bella has always had a good impression of elves, with good looks and good figure, and the selfless help of the old elf Serdan has greatly increased her favor, originally her ass was still vaguely sitting on the elf's side, but now that she looks at it like this, come on! These guys really have a bad character.
In contrast, the dwarves are obsessed with gold and treasure, which is an outward trait, and the contempt of these elves for the rest of the creatures is the nature of the bones.
Now it seems, is it still the rustic dwarf that is more in line with her character, elf? Just take a look!
"Okay, I'll leave right away."
She walked back into the dwarven ranks, looking dejected.
Thorin. Oak Shield seemed to have anticipated this situation for a long time, and behaved normally about her returning empty-handed, without mockery or cold eyes.
Bella is also reflecting on this matter, she still thought about it simply, she is not Gandalf after all, she does not have the prestige of wandering the continent for many years, and she wants to let the elves open the door to meet her is completely too much!
I didn't say it, I thought about the Misty Mountains, and the dwarves should continue to sit on the ticket!
But when she offered to let the griffons lead everyone over the Misty Mountains, except for Thorin. With the exception of Oak Shield, the king who could sit on the back of a lion, all the dwarves and hobbits objected, and it was not a pleasant experience to be caught flying in their paws, and if they had a choice, they would rather walk on their own on two legs!
"There's six months left until Turin Day, Thorin, and we've got plenty of time." The two nephews of the old dwarf, Balin and Thorin, Fili and Chili, both objected to a limited extent.
Thorin is eager to put on his wings, and he will rush to the lonely mountain in one day, the sooner the better, and he will be unbearable to delay for one more day, but everyone is against it, and he can't carry it hard.
He glanced at Bella, who shook her head and said it didn't matter, she sent the griffons back to Narnia and wanted to climb the mountain, so let's climb the mountain.
......
The Lone Mountain expedition began to climb over the mountains.
The roads of the Misty Mountains are extremely rough, there are no roads in the mountains at all, and they have to avoid the orcs and all kinds of evil creatures that pass by from time to time, and they walk very slowly.
Bella didn't trek with the dwarves, she was here to gain knowledge, not to train for military training.
She sat on the magic carpet and read a book to herself.
Bilbo. Baggins had also become acquainted with her 'old friend' recently, and at this time, she looked up, moved her cervical spine, and hurriedly handed over food and water.
Spells are the most desperate thing for Thorin's team, and they are also the last thing to rely on, so Bella has many privileges in the team, such as she doesn't have to keep vigil, she doesn't have to hunt, she can choose whether to participate in those encounters on the road, and there are people who provide her with food every day.
In the wilderness, this treatment is very good.
Recently, the hobbits have helped her with chores, because there are so few places for hobbits to contribute in this team.
Bella ate the food in two bites, drank another sip of water, and was about to continue reading, but when she noticed that the hobbit was about to speak, she looked over.
"Mr. Baggins, what's the matter?"
The hobbit blurted out, "Can you help me bring my chair at home?" ”
Bella looked at him oddly, Bilbo. Baggins can't wait to give himself a mouthful, what is this talking about!
He stammered for a long time, and seeing that Bella was still waiting for the next step, he stubbornly asked, "...... I mean, can you take me home? I can't really help in this team. ”
His voice was very low and his tone was very decadent.
Bella is not a bosom sister, this kind of thing is not in her hands, but Bilbo. Baggins was a very important person and couldn't let him go.
This hobbit who didn't have much strength held the One Ring, and faced the temptation of the Ring for nearly a hundred years, and finally was able to hand over the Ring, this willpower is absolutely second to none.
Follow Bella's observations, Bilbo. Baggins should have more willpower than his eldest nephew, Frodo. Baggins is much stronger, that is, he was born at the wrong time, otherwise he would not have had anything to do with his eldest nephew.
"Bilbo. Mr. Baggins, maybe Thorin didn't make it clear, let me tell you again, your task is very important, we need you to steal a treasure in the dragon's lair, I don't know what this treasure is, but it must be very valuable, it determines whether Thorin can successfully get his throne, this is something that only you can do, and now you still don't think you are important? ”
