Chapter 132: The Hobbit's Wisdom
Regardless of how shocked Bilbo was when he followed Chiliferi into the woods and saw the troll that had snatched the pony.
For the first time, Sorin and Gandalf had a disagreement.
"I'd suggest we keep going, and a short walk is Rivinedell, where we can get a better rest."
"No, Gandalf, I told you. I don't want to go near that place, I don't want to get close to any elves, except Ain. ”
Thorin rejected Gandalf's suggestion, and he looked at the map and knew that ahead was the Misty Mountains, the elven territory of Rivendell.
"Why? There are people there who can give us advice and show us the way. Lord Elon can help us read the map. ”
Gandalf was puzzled that the dwarves could be so stubborn.
"When Smaug breathed fire into the lonely mountain, did the elves help us? No. I will not beg the elves who betrayed us for this. ”
Thorin's attitude was very resolute.
Gandalf was angry, it was not stubbornness, it was stupidity, in his tens of thousands of years of life, he had seen countless stupid creatures, but when this person was his teammate, he still felt an irrepressible anger.
Gandalf tried to see a hint of hesitation in Thorin's gaze, but unfortunately he didn't. He didn't want to say anything, turned and walked away, running to the other side of the woods to calm down.
Mo Tie followed him, waited for him to stop, and said, "Calm down, Gandalf." Dwarves are born with stupidity and stubbornness, and I never try to reason with them. You see if I don't talk very much along the way. ”
Gandalf sighed and said, "I know the dwarves better than they do themselves, so I know their loyalty and reliability. But these qualities often blind my eyes and make me ignore their stupidity. ”
"I've heard that these dwarves don't know the way to Rivendell, or that there's a valley tunnel that leads there."
Mo Tie said with a wink.
Gandalf's eyes lit up, and he understood what Mo Tie meant, but he was worried again: "How can I lead the dwarves over?" ”
"Orcs won't make it easy for them, I've already smelled several waves of recon wolf cavalry." Mo Tie said meaningfully.
"You mean, using orcs? No, that's too dangerous. Gandalf shook his head.
"Don't worry, Gandalf, with me, the orcs won't have a chance to kill the dwarves."
Mo Tie returned to the camp after speaking, leaving Gandalf to think on his own.
When they returned to the camp, there was no one in the house.
Mo Tie looked at the shallow footprints on the ground and found that they had all gone to the woods, could it be that they had run into a troll?
When he walked into the woods, he didn't go far to see the dwarves fighting the three trolls, but unfortunately, the trolls' skin was hard, and even if the dwarves pierced a little skin, they couldn't make the trolls lose their mobility. It's like a couple of crispy crusts with no output wandering tank dads, and sooner or later they will be hammered.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the trolls to notice that the dwarf was too nimble, and simply grabbed Bilbo, grabbed him by the limbs, and threatened the dwarf to lay down his weapon.
This hand is amazing, the troll's mind is even more than that of the dwarf!
Thorin hesitated, thinking that he couldn't give up on the Snitch so soon, so he put down his steel sword, and the others followed suit.
Mo Tie took the longbow from his back and dismantled him into two long knives, preparing to find an opportunity to carry out a wave of rescue.
"Wait." Gandalf's voice rang out, "Ain, wait a minute, I want to see how they perform." ”
Mo Tie knew that Gandalf had already come, but he didn't expect him to wait any longer, this is not a scene in the movie, in case the troll is eaten raw, it will be enough to rely on the size of the dwarf.
Bilbo's eyes were sharp, and he saw Mo Tie's figure from the shaking of the leaves, and he felt that he had to do something, so he was in a hurry and began to delay tactics.
The process was extremely boring, and the troll's intelligence was not high, at least not as high as that of the hobbit, and he was caught up in a few nonsense words that did not match Bilbo's preface.
"Gandalf, your snitch has a good mind."
"That's right, he's starting to look like a real snitch." Gandalf said happily.
The trolls were still thinking about how to get rid of the parasites in the dwarves' stomachs, forgetting that the sun had risen.
Gandalf used his staff to perform a shock spell, splitting a boulder in two, and the sun shone on the three trolls in an instant.
Under the astonished gaze of the dwarves and hobbits, the three hard-skinned trolls, more than five meters tall, let out a scream of pain, and the places where their bodies were illuminated gradually petrified, and finally all turned into humanoid stones, and even dropped some stone chips.
After the dwarf loosened his bindings, he curiously touched the stone that the troll had turned into.
Chili asked, "Gandalf, are they all stones in them?" ”
"That's right."
"That's a pity, they have so much meat, how nice it would be if they could make food."
Gandalf twitched the corners of his mouth, he hadn't heard of eating trolls in all this time, and the dwarves really had big hearts.
Mo Tie untied Bilbo's rope, patted the dirt on his hair, and asked with a smile, "How is it, Bilbo, do you feel excited?" ”
Bilbo had just achieved the achievement of "killing three tanks without taking any damage", and his pride was born. He shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be light-hearted, "It's okay, Mr. Ain, life in the wild isn't as bad as you say, it's very interesting." ”
"Hahaha." Mo Tie laughed, I hope this hobbit will still be so confident when he sees Smaug.
Then, the group scoured the troll's cave and found a lot of goodies, including a few elven swords.
"Gandalf, it looks like these trolls have moved, and they've moved everything to the edge of the forest." Mo Tie took a look at the troll cave and said.
"That's right, the last time we met the troll, we were instructed by a wolf to go to the edge of the forest. These few must have been unwilling to be raided by the wolf, so they moved their belongings to the periphery. Gandalf speculated for sure.
"That's just right, change the dwarves en masse."
"Mr. Ain, do you need an Elven Sword?" Thorin picked and picked and walked over with a very long knife.
It seems that his generosity is due to the fact that the knife is really not suitable for his height.
It is a sword forged by the elves of the First Age, and has slain countless orcs. Mo Tie took it, wiped the dust off the scabbard, and pulled it out.
A flash of snow-white light appeared in an instant, completely different from the dim scenery around them. The knife is very sharp and hard, and it seems that it has some unknown special metal in it.
"This is the pinnacle of elven craftsmanship, it hasn't been seen since the First Age. Keep it, Ain, I don't think this knife wants to stay in this cave anymore. ”
Gandalf said.
