Chapter 25: The Road (Part 1)

Naturally, the dwarves followed the elves through the secret passages, as the moss-covered white gravel path did lead to the Rivendell Valley, but the path was a gap between two large rocks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The gap was so narrow that Gandalf had to bend over, and Oyin, the fattest of the dwarves in the narrow line, had to lean sideways and take a deep breath to hold his stomach as much as he could.

Even if you make a gap, you will pass through a narrow forest path made of pine, birch, and oak trees, and you will reach an open meadow at the edge of the river.

But the next step is to cross a very narrow bridge with no guardrails, and below the bridge is a rushing river formed by the melting snow in the mountains.

None of these are suitable for the passage of elves on horses, or even for the passage of elves at all!

So they have to take the big road!

Gandalf used the [Summoning Mount] spell to retrieve both the startled bantam and his own light horse, the white horse, and the group remounted and set off, led by the Elven Friend Elon.

They had traveled a long distance, and had come to the foot of a great gentle slope that had been going up, and thanks to the fact that all the men had horses, otherwise they would have come here with the little short legs of the dwarves? He was the same one who ran for three or five days, and he was the same one who rode a horse for three hours.

This is still the elven horse and Gandalf's white horse have been taking care of the bantam's speed, otherwise relying on the elven speed to deploy at full strength, I am afraid that they would have already returned to Rivinedell.

And at this time, it was already noon, and Wang Yonghao understood why the time span through a secret passage in the movie was so large!

They were chased by the wolf cavalry at dawn, and by the time King Elon met them in Rivendell, it was already afternoon!

He was still wondering if King Elon was taking them on a detour, if it took three hours to walk this way, and they entered Rivendell through the secret passage in the movie, how could they reach it at the same time in such a short time?

But now he seems to understand, it is estimated that the length of the first-line heavenly secret path will not be too short, and the forest path between the trees will not be too short!

That's reasonable!

Otherwise, even if the horse ridden by the elf could fly, it would be impossible for him to get around the right path, and it would take him more time than they walked in three hours, I don't know if it was half as fast as half!

The place where the group was now continued to the northeast, and soon came to the top of the hillside, but this shows how amazing the ability of bantams to climb with weights is, bantams are suitable for hilly terrain, and they were born for this!

The elven war horse, which had always taken care of their speed, was quickly overtaken by the bantam on the uneven road in this mountainous and forested area!

When they really climbed to the top of this slope, everyone in the expedition team was shocked by the scenery in front of them!

They could see a wide forest and hills in front of them, as well as avenues that had been hidden before, and the expedition team had not even noticed a road in the wasteland.

On the right side of the road is a river that reflects a gray glow in the sun. Farther away is another river that crosses the valley in the mist.

"We will follow this avenue that leads to Rivendell," Lord Elon said, rightly directing to the people, "We have now come to the River Misesel, which you call the Roaring River.

It flows all the way to the Heath of Eton, north of Rivendell, where the trolls were defeated, and then joins the Noisy River in the south. Some people have since called it the Grey Flood. The river was quite turbulent before it entered the sea. There is no way to cross the river from below the Eton Moors, only the end bridge through which the avenue passes! ”

Wang Yonghao listened to this conversation and felt like he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, so he didn't say anything.

Chilly beside Thorin Oakshield pointed into the distance and asked, "What's the name of the river farther away?" ”

"That's the river of noisy water, and it's the river that originates in Rivendell," said Elon, who was indeed quite an elder, and he answered everyone's questions carefully.

"After crossing the bridge, you will have to go a long way up the hill to the Brunan Ferry, and after the crossing you will reach the River Celestial, and you will reach the valley of the River Livingdale along the road parallel to the River."

It was a great descent, and it was very fast, and in a short time they were on the road, and after another mile or two they saw the terminal bridge at the bottom of the steep slope.

By this time, Bilbo Baggins' stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and the dwarves were already a little tired of it, and it was already noon, and they didn't eat their second breakfast!

It's too uncomfortable for the dwarves who are accustomed to the habitual diet of the hobbits for six meals a day, and Wang Yonghao provides them with food!

During the ride, these greedy guys all came to Wang Yonghao's side, ready to get some food with him!

I don't know if it's because he is now wearing hobbit skin, Wang Yonghao, who is particularly accustomed to the regular diet of hobbits, also feels a little hungry.

At first, there were passion seed cakes, meatloaf, minced meat pie and pork pie, and even some salads and cheese in bamboo tubes.

On the contrary, although Groyin screamed fiercely and seemed to despise elves to the extreme, he ate very little, just to fill his stomach.

Oyin knew his brother and asked him as he shoved a passion seed cake into his mouth, "You're not still looking forward to the elf's dinner, are you?" ”

Groyin would never admit it, and argued strongly: "What can those elves eat, it is estimated that they can't even roast meat well, you see that they must be hungry when they are thin!" ”

These words caused a group of dwarves to laugh, and Wang Yonghao also smiled, drove his horse close to Ge Luoyin, and threw a whole smoked pork leg into Ge Luoyin's fat belly in the gallop.

As soon as the pork leg fell, he was hugged by him, you must know that even his armor was specially custom-made to release the belly.

So this pork leg sits firmly on his stomach, and it looks like it's quite a match!

He didn't understand what Wang Yonghao meant, Wang Yonghao said to them: "Eat more, eat more if you can, after all, eating your own food at other people's banquets is a faux pas!" ”

Groyin still didn't understand, but Ou Yin understood, he grabbed the pork leg, smiled at his brother and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it!" ”

In a burst of laughter, the group quickly passed the small bridge, and the only sound in their ears was the sound of the river washing on the three bridge pillars.

At this moment, the people saw the ruins of ancient stone walls or towers in the dense vegetation on both sides of the continent, and they suddenly remembered that this was actually the place parallel to the south of the road they had walked on.
