25. Interior

After returning to Gushan, Wang Bo went to the world of buds again, found Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, and told them that he was going to go on a long trip and let the two girls practice by themselves in the next few days.

After all this last night, Wang Bocai returned to the Lonely Mountain, found the dwarf Saqi, and explained again.

Gandalf followed Wang Bo, and after Wang Bo had finished the matter at hand, the two of them left the Lonely Mountain and flew to the Misty Mountains on Smaug.

Under Gandalf's guidance, Smaug entered the Misty Mountains and stopped in front of a low cliff about a few dozen feet high, the top of which appeared broken and untidy. Occasionally, some very sparse running water dripped from it; From the scene in front of you, it seems that this place was once quite a magnificent waterfall, which is why such a spectacular terrain is depicted.

Gandalf looked around and sighed, "It's really changed a lot, but I don't think I'm wrong." This is the remains of the Ladder Falls. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a staircase next to the waterfall, but the main road goes up the slope with twists and turns. ”

"In ancient times, there used to be a valley next to the entrance to Moria, and the Sivanan River flowed down the trail. Let's go up and see what's going on! ”

Gandalf continued to direct Smaug upward, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they were confronted with a deep, still lake, the dark surface of which could not reflect any view.

Wang Bo saw that the Sivanam River in Gandalf's mouth had been blocked, and the entire valley had been filled into a small lake. Beside this strange lake, there is a very steep cliff looking down on it.

At the same time, Wang Bo also understood why the waterfall just now dried up.

"This is the outer wall of Moria," said Gandalf, pointing to the other side of the lake, "and there used to be an entrance over there." It was the entrance of the elves that came from Wabayashi along the path. It's a pity that the road is impassable now. ”

Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Not necessarily. ”

It's just a wall, and it can't stop Wang Bo at all, and if Wang Bo makes a move, there are more than a dozen ways to destroy this wall.

Gandalf seemed to know what Wang Bo was thinking, and said, "You'd better not do that." ”

Wang Bo glanced at him and didn't ask why, he knew very well that he was an outsider, and if he wanted to stay in this world, it was best not to get too stiff with Gandalf.

So Wang Bo gave up his plan to make a move and let Gandalf play.

Gandalf saw Wang Bo's actions, nodded imperceptibly, along the way, Wang Bo respected him very much, and did not offend him too much, which made Gandalf feel that Wang Bo was not bad.

The initial vigilance was partially eliminated unconsciously.

He thought the man was not bad.

And that's exactly what Wang Bo wants.

So under Gandalf's command, Smaug continued with the two men on his belt, and finally came to the dry flat land between the lake and the cliff. The area is very narrow, only a few meters long and wide, and the ground is covered with many falling rocks.

After walking about a kilometer south along the shore of the lake, they came across several holly trees.

Leaving aside the rotting and stinking water-soaked trunks, there seems to have been a dense forest planted along the valley path.

The only suspicious sight in front of me was two tall holly trees still thriving on the edge of the cliff.

Their massive roots jut out from the cliffs to the lake, and when viewed from the distant ladder, they look like little more than low bushes compared to the towering cliffs.

But when you look closer, they're tall and large, like two fearless stout guards on either side of the road.

"Phew, we're finally here," said Gandalf, "and this is the end of the elven path that Helin has come from." The holly tree is a symbol of the local people, who planted these two holly trees here to symbolize the end of the territory. The main purpose of this Simon was to facilitate their communication with the king of Moria. ”

"In the quieter times, when the various races were still closely connected, the dwarves and elves used to be quite familiar friends."

Wang Bo also knows this.

It's just that now, because of the matter of the lonely mountain, the relationship between the dwarves and the elves has collapsed.

And Wang Bo, who has seen the Lord of the Rings, knows even more that if you want to enter this door, you must say the word friend in Elven language, and only in this way will this hidden door be opened.

It's a pity that Wang Bo's fluent language can only make others understand what he says, so Wang Bo doesn't know if a door can understand what he says.

So Wang Bo reminded Gandalf who was thinking about how to open the door.

Gandalf is also a human spirit, and after Wang Bo's prompting, he quickly discovered this and shouted out his friend in the language of the elves.

Sure enough, the spell worked, and a huge doorway began to emerge slowly; It slowly separates from the center and opens outwards until both doors are fully open.

Wang Bo could see a staircase climbing up the door, reaching to the end of the line of sight.

Gandalf glanced back at Wang Bo, but didn't say anything, but said, "The door is open, let's go in." ”

Wang Bo followed Gandalf's follow.

As for Smaug, he was left outside by Wang Bo. After all, in this place, Smaug's large body can't let go.

Gandalf walked at the forefront, holding his staff aloft so that the faint light emanating from it illuminated the foreground, and the wide staircase seemed untouched by the ages.

They walked about 200 stairs to the top. At the end of the staircase is another arch and a promenade that leads to the darkness.

The two of them did not stop, and continued to move forward after entering the hallway, which turned a few corners before beginning to descend.

It leaned down for a long time before finally flattening again.

The air was starting to get hot and stuffy, but thankfully, there wasn't any strange stench mixed in. Sometimes they can also feel fresh air blowing out of the gaps in the walls, and there are many similar gaps in the walls below.

Wang Bo had to marvel that the dwarves in the past were really amazing, and they could build such a perfect city.

It seems that in addition to the forging process, the dwarves are also very good at architecture.

Wang Bodu wanted the dwarves to build a gorgeous palace for him.

The two men continued on their way, walking for hours without a break. Gandalf stopped abruptly at this point and began to check the direction in earnest. Before him was a wide arch leading to three passages, all in all directions to the east; But the road on the far left goes down, the road on the far right goes up, and the road in the middle keeps going forward, flat but very narrow.

This left Gandalf a little confused, "I don't remember this place at all. He said to Wang Bo.
