Chapter 223: Middle-earth Cataclysm

Middle-earth, an ancient land inhabited by all kinds of creatures. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The north is the territory of humans, the far north is dominated by orcs, the south is the forest of the elves, the east is the dynasty of the dwarves, and the west is a stretch of mountains where hobbits live, as for the center? It was a hodgepodge of different races living together, but the heart of Middle-earth was also the most prosperous.

Of course, in addition to these mainstream races, there are also strange and powerful creatures such as dragons, mountain giants, treants, and trolls.

The Shire, near the edge of Middle-earth, is part of the western part of Middle-earth, but because of the mountains and the fact that there are no valuable minerals or wood, it is home to the hobbits.

Hobbits, a very short humanoid, are very weak, and compared to dwarves of similar size, hobbits are as weak as newborn chicks.

Compared to normal humans, the hobbit is small and looks like an underage child.

Weak strength, slow speed, short stature, not handsome, and not particularly long-lived, which makes the hobbit situation very embarrassing, if there is any advantage of the hobbit, it is probably that the hobbit is as light as a swallow, walks silently, and can become the best scout even if he does not train.

However, although the hobbits have a very perfect scout talent, but in the entire hobbit race, there are very few people who become scouts, which is related to the genes and personality of the hobbits, because they do not have enough strength and strong physique, so the character of this race is very conservative, and timid, they are very disgusted with war, but correspondingly, because of the complex snobbery in Middle-earth, coupled with the war, it is very easy for the hobbits to be satisfied.

Hobbits were once described as snails that would shrink their heads into their shells at the slightest breeze.

This metaphor is very vivid, and it is also very much in line with the character characteristics of the hobbit.

Despite this, the hobbits have a lot of shortcomings and shortcomings, but it is not that there have been no heroes, in the whole race of hobbits there is a family called Baggins, this family has appeared a lot of great people, well, at the moment, it seems that there are only two, but it won't be long before there will be a third, maybe a fourth, who knows?

The first hero, that is, the idol in the hearts of many hobbits, the legendary old Tuke, he is the only man in history who can rely on his own will to resist the temptation of the Ring, which is remarkable, you know, before Old Tuke, whether you are a hero or a king or a peerless warrior, even if you are a high god, you can't resist the temptation of the Ring.

So, old Tuk is really good.

The second, the hobbit who is about to appear, Bilbo @ Baggins.

Although he did not rely on his personal will to crush an era like the old Tuke, Polbo's great achievements should not be underestimated.

One day many years ago, maybe not many years ago, Polbo was invited by the Dwarven King to participate in an adventure that lasted for more than a year, and their goal was a dragon, the great, terrifying, dragon that could tear everything apart - the legendary Smaug!

This terrifying monster!

During this period, what Mr. Polbo went through, interested friends can take a look at the half-story side, [Lan Ze @ Bilbo @ Gandalf @ Dwarfs @ The shameless life in Middle-earth between dragons], I won't describe it in detail here.

What we want to talk about today is that a very serious thing happened in Middle-earth a long time after Lan Ze left.

The origin of the matter, now there is no way to say, of course, the main thing is that no one can say what is going on, some people say that it is the power of darkness that once again shrouds this land, but those who know a little bit of the meaning of the dark forces know that this huge disaster in front of them is obviously not the style of the dark forces, or rather, it is obviously not the style of the dark demon king, Sauron.

Yes, the Great Demon King Sauron is indeed a very crazy, murderous, cruel, bloody, and terrifying bastard, but no matter how crazy Sauron is, he will not want to destroy the entire Middle-earth continent.

Sauron himself knows very well that if Middle-earth is gone, if there is no life in Middle-earth, then he will not be far from death, and without the fear of living beings, Sauron will eventually die.

So the disaster that happened in Middle-earth this time was very different, except that Sauron didn't carry this pot.

The disaster happened very suddenly, and appeared in the world of Middle-earth without warning, and it is said that at first, there was a resident of a village, who went crazy and bit the other residents, but at that time everyone did not pay attention to the abnormal look of the other party.

Then the disaster happened quietly, and then in a very short period of time, starting from this village, a group of red-eyed demons appeared one after another, these demons killed all the lives around them, leaving no grass everywhere they went, in less than a week, in Middle-earth, there were already more than ten towns destroyed by this group of red-eyed demons, and the number of deaths, according to incomplete statistics, was close to 10,000 people.

This is still not a detailed figure, it is first-hand information, so it is a bit rushed, if you count the missing people, plus those small villages that do not have detailed statistics, this number can at least triple again.

In less than a week, at least tens of thousands of living beings died, even when the orc army attacked Middle-earth, in that dim era, it was not so tragic.

Therefore, after receiving the tip, the kings and leaders of various races, as well as the top wizards of Middle-earth, gathered together to discuss how to deal with this emergency.

If these kings, heroes, and leaders of various places were not as arrogant as they were at the beginning, but chose to be ready for the battle, show twelve points of caution, and study the new red-eyed demons in detail, everything would not have developed to the level of tragedy in the future.

Unfortunately, all of the above is just if.

These kings, the chieftains of all the places, the big men from all races of the world, came together and made a very brainless decision, they wanted to teach this red-eyed demon who suddenly appeared a harsh lesson.

The elves, humans, dwarves, and the three clans allied forces, with a total number of more than half a million, are well-equipped and have high morale, but unfortunately, after a week, the 500,000 coalition army is left with less than 100,000 remnants.

At this time, everyone was shocked to find that the red-eyed demon that suddenly appeared this time was not only powerful and difficult to kill, but what was even more troublesome was that anyone who was killed by this creature with red eyes and sharp teeth had a certain chance of being resurrected, and then turned into the same kind of red-eyed demon.

Damn, how is this possible! It's already very powerful, and now it comes with its own recovery attribute, how can this be played?

What is Tragedy? This is the tragedy!

A great war ended in the defeat of the three-race alliance, and the entire Middle-earth continent fell into an unprecedented crisis.

The creatures living in Middle-earth are in danger at this moment, for fear that one day, the red-eyed demon will be killed.

And at this moment, in Shire, this pure land where the red-eyed demon has not yet appeared.

In Bilbo's dirty hobbit cave, Gandalf, a gray-robed wizard with a tired look on his face, is ushered in.

The visit of a friend should have been a joyous event, but today, neither Bilbo nor Gandalf had the joy of reuniting after a long absence.

With bloodshot eyes, a bitter and stiff smile appeared on Gandalf's tired face: "Bilbo, hasn't Lan Ze been contacted yet?" ”

Bilbo shook his head, his face was a little yellow, his eyes were a little cloudy, and he looked at Gandalf listlessly: "No, if Lan Ze comes, I will tell you, Gandalf, my friend, how is the situation outside now?" ”

"It's okay, although it's a bit troublesome, but it can still last for a while." Hearing the news that Bilbo did not have Lan Ze, Gandalf's tired face showed a look of disappointment, rubbed his somewhat swollen head, looked at Bilbo, whose eyes were a little dull and his face was yellow, and sighed, Gandalf took out a small bag of tobacco from his pocket and handed it to Bilbo: "How are you doing?" Do you still have nightmares at night? ”

Bilbo took the tobacco from Gandalf, trembled his palm, took out his slender pipe, borrowed a fire from the stove next to him, lit it, and took two puffs of it, his tense yellow face and cloudy eyes finally relaxed at this moment, looking at the burning tobacco in the pipe, Bilbo hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the pipe.

At this moment, Polbo is like an addict, but Gandalf knows that this is not the case, his tobacco for Bilbo does not have any hallucinogenic addictive effect, and his tobacco has only one effect, that is, it can cheer people up and make people no longer feel impetuous.

As for why Bilbo is like this? All because of the nightmares every night, Gandalf hadn't rested for more than a month.

After smoking a few puffs of pipe, Bilbo's mental state has obviously recovered a lot, and the whole person is also a lot more energetic, looking at Gandalf, a stiff expression appeared on Bilbo's face: "I still have nightmares, I have nightmares every night." Gandalf, damn it, can you tell me, what the hell is going on? Why is everyone having nightmares? ”

Thinking back to what he had experienced in his nightmare, Polbo's face became a little ugly.

"Polbo, I don't know what's going on, the white-robed wizard Saruman is already researching, but at the moment, there are no significant results." Gandalf's tired face showed helplessness, and finally shook his head, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, Bilbo, I'll go first, the front line is a little tight, I have to go back quickly, by the way, if Lan Ze comes, remember to let Lan Ze come to me, he knows how to find me." ”

"Gandalf, do you need my help?"

Looking at Gandalf's tired face, Bilbo hesitated, put away his slender pipe, and looked at Gandalf with a serious face: "I can kill enemies too, believe me, my friend, I am a brave hobbit warrior." ”

"Forget it, the situation is a bit complicated right now." Gandalf stared at Polbo, and finally shook his head, with a tiredness on his face that could not be concealed: "Bilbo, this is war, not an adventure, I appreciate your courage, but I can't let my friends go to war, Polbo, you have to remember, these days, stay at home honestly, doors and windows must be reinforced, don't run out, and anything that happens in the dream world, don't take it seriously, if you feel scared, take a puff of the tobacco I gave you." ”

Looking at Gandalf's serious expression, Bilbo sighed helplessly: "Okay, don't worry, my friend, I'll take care of myself." ”

After repeatedly telling Bilbo not to take any chances, Gandalf rode the huge goshawk with a tired face, and gradually flew higher and higher, and finally disappeared into the sky of the Charles.

When Gandalf disappeared from his sight, Polbo returned home and began to fortify his hobbit hole, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, but it was said that the creatures that had turned into demons were very terrifying, powerful, and not afraid of life and death, and their sense of smell and sight had become very developed.

Hobbits are inherently weak and slow, and in the face of danger, the hobbit hole is the only guarantee, and in recent times, all hobbits throughout the Shire have been fortifying their own hobbit holes.

In the evening, Bilbo sat on the sawdust-strewn floor, eating dried bacon and baked potatoes, served with a few slices of boiled dried vegetables and a pinch of salt on top for seasoning, and this was Bilbo's dinner tonight.

Seriously, if this food had been in the past, Bilbo would never have touched a bite, but now it's not what it used to be, and it's already very good to have something to eat.

Struggling to swallow this unusually unpalatable food, the jerky was dry and salty, it tasted like eating cowhide, boiled dried vegetables, soft, with a special taste, the only thing that could satisfy Polbo was baked potatoes, but Bilbo didn't like potatoes, he liked bread, fragrant bread, and the best butter or jam, but there was not much flour at home, and he couldn't go out to buy flour, although he had a lot of gold.

Looking at the night that was gradually starting to get dark outside, patting the tobacco bag hanging from his waist, Bilbo sighed helplessly, his eyes flashing with worry.

Tonight, I don't know how many more people will have trouble sleeping, and will fall into a terrible nightmare, but with the tobacco that Gandalf has given him, he should be able to have a good night's sleep tonight.

After continuing to be busy for a while, Bilbo estimated that it was time to go to bed, took out the slender pipe that he had smoked half before, carefully lit the half-burned tobacco in the pipe, and took a blanket to cover his body.

Just as Bilbo was about to fall asleep, a familiar voice appeared beside Bilbo: "Bilbo, my friend, what's wrong?" Are you going to renovate your hobbit hole? Why is it so messy here? By the way, what are the dangers you are talking about? It's normal. ”

Bilbo looked up and looked at the tall figure, tears of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Lan Ze? You bastard is finally here!! Woo, this time scares me to death! I almost thought I wouldn't see you for the rest of my life, bastard, why did you come here! ”

Looking at Bilbo, who was holding his thighs tightly and tearing with a nose and tears, Lan Ze's face flashed with embarrassment: "What, Bilbo and I are ordinary friends, he is just too excited, we are not engaged in base, we are all normal men, and our sexual orientation is also normal, really!" ”
