With the help of the Giant Eagle, Bilbo and his party finally escaped the pursuit of the orcs, and after that, with the help of Bion, the skin-changer, they got a short rest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a night's rest, Bilbo and his party regained their spirits and embarked on the journey to conquer the Lonely Mountain again.

After more than a month of trekking, the people climbed over the mountains, crossed the plains, and soon approached a dense forest.

The Dark Forest is the name of this forest.

The Dark Jungle is a dense and gloomy woodland, the most majestic forest in the northern world. Many of the trees in the Dark Forest are very old and tall, and the sky is forever obscured by dense foliage, making it difficult for light to penetrate. The dark forest is home to many animals, including black squirrels and wild deer - both black and white. The forest is inhabited by black bats, as well as gray-black and black moths, the size of a person's palm. At the top of the trees above the forest, the black monarch butterfly lives. The treetops are also inhabited by ordinary spiders, but under the trees, there are huge and terrifying giant spiders, weaving webs between the branches of the trees and feeding on the flesh and blood of animals.

Of course, the Dark Jungle is also the sphere of influence of the Woodland Kingdom.

Occupying the northern part of the Dark Forest, the Woodland Kingdom is a powerful kingdom of elves, one of the three elven kingdoms, whose king is named Thranduil, and his son, the elven prince Legolas, is a member of the Fellowship of the Ring.

The dwarves were happy to see the dark forest, because it meant that they were not far from the lonely mountain, their homes were close at hand, and they only needed to keep moving forward, and it would not be long before the dwarves would be able to return to that familiar home again, which made every dwarf very excited.

However, unlike the dwarves' excitement, Gandalf's mood became a little heavy.

As soon as he entered the dark forest, Gandalf noticed the abnormality, looking at the dead trees at the edge of the dark forest, Gandalf's uneasiness deepened, and he grabbed the vines wrapped around the trees, Gandalf's expression suddenly froze.

It was a giant one-eyed sign.

Others don't know what this one-eyed sign means, but Gandalf, who has been fighting against the forces it represents for hundreds of years, knows it very well.

Dark Lord - Sauron.

Soon, Gandalf thought of the cave sword that Redagast had given him, the sword that should have been sealed, the sword that belonged to the Angmar Witch King, the head of the Nine Rings under Sauron's throne, a terrifying sword that should not appear in the human world.

There are also rumors about the necromancer in Dolgodo.

This reminded Gandalf of what the Elven Queen Galadriel had once said to him, "In the shadows, evil things are happening." They hide from our sight and don't want to be discovered, but I can still feel that their power is growing day by day! Beware of the necromancer, for everything we know is unknown. If the enemy is really coming, we must know. ”

The signs were linked, and Gandalf couldn't help but guess that his worst fear had finally come, and that after four hundred years, darkness would once again cover the earth, and the most frightening thing was that this time the darkness would come quietly.

This upset Gandalf.

He wants to leave immediately, he wants to go to the high hills, where is the mausoleum where the ring spirit is sealed, he wants to confirm whether the ring spirit has been freed, this is related to the safety of the entire Middle-earth continent, if the ring spirit has been freed, then it means that Sauron has made a comeback again, he has begun to accumulate strength, ready to start a war again.

Gandalf didn't want to go, because this dwarf action was related to a plan he had made for a long time, but unfortunately, Sauron's threat was even more severe in comparison, and Gandalf had no choice but to compromise.

Gandalf walked very fast, and did not give the dwarves a chance to object, so he resolutely left.

This upset the dwarves, including Bilbo.

However, the adventure still has to continue, and seeing that the end is in sight, the dwarves naturally do not choose to give up.

The Dark Forest is not a friendly place, and there are many dangers inside, especially the giant spiders that inhabit the Dark Forest, and they are the nightmare of everyone who enters the Dark Forest.

Soon, Bilbo and his party were attacked by giant spiders, and if it weren't for the One Ring, Bilbo would have become the mouth of these giant spiders.

With the magical abilities of the One Ring, Bilbo managed to free the dwarves trapped in cobwebs.

It's a pity that the number of giant spiders is too large, even if the dwarves are very brave and can be ten with one, but in front of the giant spiders that are pouring in like a tide, the dwarves are still in a bitter battle, and soon, the dwarves are surrounded by giant spiders.

The protagonist is the protagonist, and in times of crisis, he can always be rescued.

Just when the dwarves wanted to fight to the death, the elf team of the woodland kingdom responsible for hunting giant spiders appeared in time, the cold wood elf Toriel, the handsome elf prince Legolas, the two appeared handsomely, and showed the powerful strength and body control of the elves, a battle of chopping vegetables and cutting melons, not only killed these giant spiders, but also captured this group of dwarves.

That's right, a captive.

The relationship between the woodland kingdom and Irub is not very good, and the relationship between the elves and the dwarves is even worse, and the results can be imagined.

Luckily, Bilbo escaped with the stealth ability of the One Ring, and followed the elves into the woodland kingdom.

Bilbo is careful, and he prepares to steal the key to the dungeon in order to free his fellow dwarves from the pit dads.

Following the elven guards who had escorted Thorin, Bilbo arrived at the temple of Thranduil.

Thranduil deserves the title of Elven King, and compared to Eldron's heroism, Thranduil is undoubtedly more handsome.

None of this was enough to get Bilbo's attention, the other person who really caught Bilbo's attention.

It was a human being.

And that's not unusual.

Although the relationship between elves and dwarves is not good, the relationship between elves and humans is still good, after all, they once jointly formed a coalition against Sauron, and they are considered comrades-in-arms, and even now, the woodland kingdom and the human kingdom Gondor still have trade contacts.

If it's just a simple human being, it can't attract Bilbo's attention, the key is that this human is dressed, which makes Bilbo think of a person, a person he once rescued, his good friend, Li Jiwu.

Of course, at this time, Bilbo would not be stupid enough to show up directly to ask about the relationship between this human and Li Luan, and after watching a conflict between Thorin and Thranduil, Bilbo had no other feelings except that he felt that this group of dwarves was really cheating.

Soon, the dwarven king Thorin and the elven king Thrandui parted happily, and Thorin was also locked up by the angry Thranduil, and Thrandui was not in the mood to talk about any more time with the human, and the human retired.

It also allowed Bilbo to seize the opportunity.

Following the human into his common room, Bilbo appeared directly in front of the human.

"Who are you? Do you know Li Luwei? ”

This is also Bill's boldness, the recent adventure, Billbow relied on the stealth ability of the One Ring to save the day several times, so far no enemy can see through the stealth ability of the One Ring, which has become Bilbo's reliance.

"What man!?"

Bilbo's sudden appearance undoubtedly frightened the human, and as soon as he saw the human wave his hand, Bilbo felt a strong attack, and then his whole person had already flown up in the air, hitting the wall heavily, and then he was in severe pain, as if the bones of his whole body were about to shatter.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that Bilbo had lost the ability to resist, the human finally regained his footing.

"Shhhhhh

Bilbo inhaled heavily, hoping it would ease his pain, "Dude... Hiss... I am not your enemy, I am ... Hiss... Bilbo, Bilbo? Baggins, Hawks... Hiss... Hobbit, I just wanted to ask you, do you know each other... Hiss... Li is worried. ”

After saying a sentence intermittently, Bilbo regretted it very much in his heart, he held it up, and he began to become proud with the treasure ring.

"Bilbo... Baggins? The Hobbit? Plum... Your Majesty!? ”

This human obviously knew Li Luan, and after hearing Li Luan's name, he was suddenly startled, and the whole person stood up straight in an instant, looking respectful.

"It's Lord Baggins, that's rude."

Apparently relieved of the hostility, the human approached Bilbo's side and poured a potion into his mouth.

After drinking the potion, Bilbo only felt a warm air fill his body, and the severe pain also melted quickly under this warmth, and he was actually healed in this instant!

"Exactly the same ability as Lee's potion!" Bilbo was even more sure that this human had something to do with Li Luwei.

With Bilbo doing so, the human began to introduce himself.

"Lord Baggins, my name is Upton, Upton? Brody is a small soldier under His Majesty. The human smiled at Bilbo, showing his kindness.

"Your Majesty? What Your Majesty? I don't know anything Your Majesty. "Bilbo, who had just recovered, was still a little confused.

"Of course Your Majesty is Your Majesty, oh, Your Majesty is the Li Luwu you know, please forgive me for being disrespectful, and I actually called the necessary name." As he spoke, Upton bowed to the west.

Bilbo didn't notice Upton's movements, he was already immersed in the shock of the word "Your Majesty".

"Your Majesty! Li is actually Your Majesty! Lee is actually ... King!? (To be continued.) )
