Chapter 2: Gandalf's Departure

Early the next morning, the group once again embarked on a new journey, from Shire to Gushan, which was a considerable distance, not a word or two can be described. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the dark forest, the brown-robed wizard - Ridagast, dressed in a shabby brown robe, greasy and mushroom-covered hair, with a unique bird's nest, at this time Gast was frowning, looking at the withering woods with a sad face, and a sense of unease surrounded Gast's heart.

A mysterious force enveloped the forest, one animal after another died, the ancient forest seemed to be sick, and a dark aura enveloped the forest, full of vicious mushrooms and dead branches.

Virus? Death? Or some other evil creature? The brown-robed wizard Gast didn't know, but he knew that the forest was changing in a bad direction.

Walking in the forest, a painful and familiar voice stunned Gast, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Gasst's eyes, and Gasste looked at it, it was his friend Hedgehog - Bassty.

"Oh my God! What's going on, Sbasti, cheer up. Garst ran over in a panic, took the hedgehog in his arms, and trotted all the way back to his wizard's hut.

As one of the well-known Maia, Gaster is not only proficient in witchcraft, but also as a messenger of the god of the forest, Gaster is proficient in pharmacology and medicine.

All kinds of medicinal herbs were gathered together, and a spoonful of healing potion was carefully mixed out by Gast, and gently fed to the poor hedgehog - Sbasti, but even if the poor hedgehog ate Gast's healing powder, his condition did not improve in the slightest, and he was still shivering in pain on the table.

"Damn it! It's not a virus, it's poisoning? Looking at the hedgehog Sbasti's painful appearance, Gast frowned, and in a panic, he prepared a new bottle of antidote from the bottles and cans, accompanied by the smoke of the ancient conch, and slowly enveloped the hedgehog-Sbastian's body, but the state of the hedgehog did not change at all.

Five minutes later, looking at the hedgehog-Sbasti, who was still in pain and his breath was already extremely weak, the brown-robed wizard Gast pulled his hair in pain: "Why! Why doesn't it work! I've used all my methods, damn it, it's not witchcraft! ”

Gast was stunned for a moment, his pupils shrank, his face changed instantly, a drop of cold sweat swept across his forehead, and some crazy demons roared: "Damn it!" It's witchcraft, powerful and evil witchcraft!! ”

Gast's face had to change, as one of the well-known Maia, Gast knew the horror of witchcraft better than anyone else, this evil aura was not a good sign, which made Gast think of an extremely evil existence that had been silent for many years, the Dark Lord - Sauron

Outside the door, the sound of swishing made the face of the brown-robed wizard Gast more and more ugly, a huge shadow surrounded his wizard's hut, the sunlight was gradually blocked, the darkness slowly shrouded the forest, the strong crisis made Gast take out the blue gem from his staff in a panic, and the ancient tongue-twisting jerky spell whispered softly in Gast's mouth.

The atmosphere around the house became more and more terrifying, darkness enveloped the wizard's hut, the temperature around it began to drop, and unease enveloped all the life in the hut, out of instinctive avoidance of danger, all the creatures in the wizard's hut instinctively approached, and Gast, the only creature that could provide safety.

Soon, the dilapidated ceiling was pierced, a black hard and sharp arthrop pierced the plank, the wizard's hut that had not been repaired for many years could not provide excellent defense, pieces of broken planks fell into the house, and the dark and evil aura frantically shrouded this wizard's hut, black spiders, ready to devour all life in this room.

Time passed minute by minute, and at the last moment of this race against time, the moment when the black spider was about to smash the roof, the witchcraft was completed!

The blue crystal flashed with an imperceptible brilliance, instantly absorbing the evil power in the hedgehog-Sbasti's body, and at the same time dispersing the evil aura around him.

Once again, good defeated evil, and once again the sun pierced the darkness.

The darkness receded, looking at the broken houses, looking at the cobwebs left by the spiders around the houses, and the shadows that slowly disappeared into the darkness, Gast frowned, not glad that he had just escaped, his face became more and more ugly, I don't know when, in this forest guarded by himself, the darkness has quietly descended, and even enveloped this forest.

"Damn it! Where the hell do these filthy and evil things come from!! Why didn't I feel it at all? The brown-robed wizard Gast's face became more and more ugly, and he felt very confused about this sudden rise of evil power, knowing that since the death of the previous dark lord Sauron, he had never sensed such an evil power, and this power was so secretive, it was obvious that the plot was not small.

As if knowing the doubts of the brown-robed wizard Gast, a small bird hurriedly flew over and whispered in Gast's ear, Gast was stunned, and a trace of consternation and disbelief flashed in his eyes: "Castle? That's impossible! Take me to see it!! ”

Just as the brown-robed wizard Gast was in trouble, the gray-robed wizard Gandalf was in trouble at this time, but this trouble came from the dwarves.

It's been a while since I left the Charles, I don't know when, everyone has come to the vicinity of the elven kingdom, which is different from the elven kingdom of the earth, the elves here are very prosperous and powerful, in front of a house that seems to have been attacked, Thorin stopped and looked at the somewhat tired dwarf: "We have a night's rest here today, Fili, Chili, take care of our horses, I want you to make sure you are with the horses, the rest of the people prepare firewood, and Pombo prepares food." ”

Getting off his horse, Gandalf looked at the abandoned house, the rusty farming tools and untaken clothes in the room gave Gandalf a bad feeling, this was inhabited by a peasant family, and judging from the things left around and the degree of damage to the house, it was obvious that the peasant family had not left normally, there were obvious traces of damage around, and there was obviously some unknown danger here!

Coughing lightly, Gandalf looked at Thorin with a solemn face, "I think we should get out of here, it's not safe here, we can head towards the Hidden Valley." ”

But to Gandalf's annoyance, Thorin rejected his suggestion with a palpable anger in his eyes: "I told you that I didn't want to go near that place. ”

"Why? The elves will help us, where we will have food, places to rest and advice! Gandalf was very puzzled, and there was also a trace of annoyance in his heart, didn't this dwarf prince in front of him know that elves and elves are also different?

The elven king of the Dark Forest, the High Elf-Sindar-Thranduil, who refused to lend a hand, was not the Norton Elf of the Hidden Valley, and why did the Elven King of the Dark Forest at that time, Thranduil, fight for you dwarves and mighty Smaug? The whole thing has nothing to do with the Norton Elves, and Elrond, the Elven King of the Norton Elves, is one of the few people who can understand the riddles of the dwarves. Although both are elves, they can't be beaten together with eight poles.

It's a pity that Thorin doesn't understand, and even if he does, Thorin won't bow his head, after all, he is a dwarven prince, the prince of the dwarves of Turin!

"I don't need Elf's advice, and I don't need Elf's help!" Thorin looked at Gandalf with anger in his eyes, Thorin didn't have many hates, but it included the elves, and the hatred between them had been taken over from the moment the elves refused to lend a hand that day.

Gandalf didn't want to discuss these topics with this stubborn dwarven prince, and Gandalf knew from Thorin's eyes that this guy had a dwarven temper again, so Gandalf directly pointed out the key points and told Thorin what was at stake: "Thorin, we can't read the map, we can't read the map, we can't enter the Lonely Mountain, only the Norton Elves can help us." ”

"Help?" Thorin sneered, "Where were the elves when Iruba was attacked? Where were the elves when the orcs desecrated the dwarven temple? They are standing by and watching, and you let me go and beg those who betrayed my grandfather, betrayed my father? ”

"They're different!" Gandalf looked at the dwarf in front of him who was angrily questioning him, and Gandalf was also a little annoyed: "Thorin, I gave you the key and the map, not so that you can remember these hatreds!" ”

"But I don't think these things should be kept by you! They belong to the dwarves!! Thorin looked directly at Gandalf without showing any hint of weakness.

The two looked at each other and looked at Thorin with an angry face like a toilet stone, and Gandalf angrily took his staff and left: "Damn, stubborn, rigid, ignorant, stubborn dwarf, I've had enough!! ”
