The dwarves could only look at each other at the rich table of 'food', but unfortunately, the elves were a race that never ate meat, so the dwarves could only reluctantly fill their stomachs with these vegetables and fruits that could be called food.

However, unlike the dwarves, Bilbo and Nightblade are not resistant to these vegetables and fruits, after all, in modern times, chicken, duck, fish and meat can really be said to be tired of eating, on the contrary, vegetables have become scarcer than before. (For example, the price of vegetables is about the same as the price of pork)

What's more, these vegetables and fruits are still cultivated by the elves who are known as the children of nature, which are really natural and pollution-free!

For example, the brown robe Ridagast also eats very happily, and it is worth mentioning that from time to time in between his meals, he also calls out a creature from his body to eat together, such as the bird that lives under the huge pointed hat of his head.

The only thing that makes the dwarves feel good is that although the elves don't eat meat, they can also drink wine, which can really be said to be a blessing in misfortune for the dwarves who are addicted to alcohol.

Under the 'hospitality' of the hospitable elves, the banquet seemed to go quite smoothly, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

At this time, as the sun gradually dimmed, the night covered the sky silently, although the moon tonight is only a crescent, but the moonlight is very bright, even if there is no night light at this time, as long as the night road is in a place that can be illuminated by the moonlight, even if it is a sheep intestine path is also very clear.

The dwarves, who had already been drunk with wine, were also helped into the room by the elven guards to rest, and at this time, Gandalf suddenly pleaded to Elrond after the banquet, "Lord Elrond! ”

"I have a map that I need your help to decipher, because in the entire Middle-earth Continent, if you can understand the information hidden on the map, I believe that no one else can understand it except you!"

In fact, in the entire Middle-earth Continent, it is natural that not only Elrond can understand the information hidden on this map, but Gandalf, who is proficient in human feelings, is naturally also very aware of the so-called reason of the sedan chair carrying people.

Gandalf then glanced at the dwarven king Thorin.

Although the expression on Thorin's face was also extremely reluctant, it was a pity that he also knew one thing very clearly, that is, if he wanted to enter the Lonely Mountain, then interpreting the information on the map was an indispensable link.

Therefore, although he was also very reluctant in his heart to let the secrets of the dwarves be known to the hateful elves, who would let them not be able to decipher the information on the map themselves?

Therefore, after being entangled, he finally reluctantly took out a rather old-looking parchment scroll from his bosom and handed it to the Elven King.

The Elven King, who took the map, immediately opened the map, and then his mouth couldn't help but read: "Irubi! ”

"Sesven Isil ......"

"This is also known as Moon Runiwen!"

"Interesting! The information on your map is such a rare moon runivan! ”

"To decipher this information is to be in the moonlight of the same season and the same shape of the moon on the day they were written!"

These runes were written almost 200 years ago...... On the eve of a certain midsummer festival, it was a new moon! ”

"Looks like you're destined to come to Rivendell at this time!"

"Fate is with you, Thorin? Oak Shield! ”

"Because these days are the time of the New Moon!"

"The same moonlight shines on us tonight!"

"Come with me! King Thorin! I also need the help of something to be able to fully decipher the information on the map for you! ”

With that, the Elven King led Thorin and them out of the banquet hall and walked towards the top of the palace, and in a short time they came to the top of a cliff, outside which was a half-moon-shaped cave, and outside, a cascading waterfall hung there!

On top of this cliff of only a few square meters, there is only a transparent crystal stone platform lying quietly there!

Then, the elven king Elrond put the map on the transparent crystal stone platform, and at this time, under the light of the moon, the transparent crystal stone platform gradually lit up.

Then a magical scene happened, and unknown strange words suddenly appeared on the originally empty corner of the map placed on the stone platform!

At this time, the elf king looked at the words that gradually emerged on the map, and read word by word: "When the thrush knocks on the stone, stand next to the gray stone." ”

"The last afterglow of the sunset in Turin!"

"Will shine on the keyhole!"

"Turin Day?" At this time, Gandalf on the side couldn't help but subconsciously muttered after hearing this: "Isn't this the New Year of the dwarves?" I remember it was like the last moonset of autumn and winter! ”

"The first sunrise will appear in the sky at the same time!"

At this time, after the Elf King had translated all the words that had emerged, he returned the map to Solin and said, "These are all the information recorded on the map, I hope this information will be helpful for your next journey!" ”

"May the gods bless you, Thorin, king of the dwarves? Oak Shield! ”

After saying that, the Elf King also left here.

At this time, it was not until the figure of the elven king completely disappeared that the dwarf Balin said excitedly: "Now that the summer is coming to an end, we must arrive at the Lonely Mountain before the arrival of the Turin Day, find the absolutely accurate location and timing, and then the door will be completely opened!" ”

"However, in order to reach the Lonely Mountain before the arrival of Turin Day, we must also cross the Misty Mountains, cross the Dark Forest, and pass through the town of Long Lake to reach the range of the Lonely Mountain!"

"So we have to speed up, otherwise if we miss this year's Turin Day, we will have to wait another year to enter the Lonely Mountain!"

At this moment, the elven king who had left suddenly went and returned, and Balin stopped talking in time.

I saw that the Elf King suddenly smiled at Gandalf and said, "I almost forgot!" Mithrandier! There are a few old friends waiting for you! ”

Hearing the elven king's meaningful words, Gandalf also suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, but it was impossible for him to refuse the elven king's invitation, so he could only leave with the elf king.

At this time, the careful Yefeng found that at this time, the dwarf king Thorin was also looking at the departing Gandalf figure, and his face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And since the hidden information on the map has been cracked, then Night Feng and the others also returned to the room to rest.

Because of Rivendell's unique geographical environment, coupled with the protection of thousands of elven guards who are good at archery, they also slept very peacefully this time.

Because even during the most rampant period of the Dark Lord, Rivendell had never been captured!

But just as Yefeng was in a daze, he suddenly felt someone pushing his body, and then he was also a spirit, and immediately woke up.

When he looked at it, he realized that it was the dwarf Dwarin who was shaking his body.

In this regard, he couldn't help but ask with confused eyes, "What is this for?" It should be some distance from sunrise now, right? ”

In response to Nightfeng's inquiry, Devalin shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know what's going on, it's just that Thorin asked me to wake you up quietly, and everyone will gather in his room together!" ”

"That's right!" At this time, Night Feng suddenly seemed to remember something: "Did Gandalf come back after he left?" ”

Dwarin shook his head: "No! Didn't see Gandalf come back all night! I don't know where he is now? ”

When Nightmenter arrived at Thorin's room, he found that all the other members of the Dwarven Expedition, including Bilbo, had been gathered except for the wizard Gandalf, who had not returned all night.

After seeing Ye Feng come in, Thorin looked at everyone with a heavy face and said, "I can't hand over the fate of our dwarven clan to the hateful elves, I believe that the elves must already know the purpose of our trip now." ”

"So I decided to get out of here before they have made a decision against us!"

"But!" At this time, Bilbo hesitated and said, "But...... Gandalf hasn't come back yet! ”

"Shall we just abandon him here and leave alone?"

In the face of Bilbo's questioning, Thorin said in a gloomy tone, "Please pay attention, Lord Bilbo! ”

"You made a pact with us, not Gandalf!"

"This adventure is ours and not him, you know?"

"Or do you want to be left here alone?"

The helpless Bilbo was also speechless, and then he could only nod helplessly.

Then, after packing up a little, everyone walked towards the stone bridge that left Rivendell, because this was the only normal way to leave Rivendell, otherwise they would have to jump down a canyon dozens of meters high or climb up from a cliff hundreds of meters high.

When the dwarves wanted to leave from the stone bridge, they were intercepted by the elven guards who guarded them, but after all, the dwarves were just guests brought back by the elven king, unless they wanted to leave the dwarves behind, otherwise, they couldn't stop the dwarves from leaving!

In the end, the elven guards could only helplessly watch the dwarves leave, but then they immediately sent someone to inform the elven king, as for the final outcome, it is not up to them to worry about the little guards.

As soon as he left Rivendell's territory, with a call from Nightfeng, the majestic Dire Wolf King immediately ran to his side, bowing down and inviting him to sit down.

At this time, the dwarves could not help but look at Yefeng with envy, because at this time they could only rely on their feet to hurry, and their horses had already escaped when the wolves attacked, and the horses they rode later belonged to the elves.
