Generally speaking, it is the convergence of many small streams upstream to form a large river. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The upstream is a large river, but it suddenly forks in the middle of the way, and when it reaches the downstream, it becomes a river that goes in a different direction, which is rare. In the real world, it is probably only in tropical rainforests that a similar situation occurs because of the abundance of water.

The dark forests of Middle-earth, in a way, are closer to the real-life rainforests. Although there is less rainfall, the terrain here is more complicated, and eventually, the waterways in the dense forest become more complicated by the change of terrain.

There is a fork not far below the river where Chu Xiaobai and the dwarves are now, and according to the instructions on the map, if you go south along the slightly larger tributary, you will bypass the territory of the wood elves.

On the other hand, if you choose a tributary with a slightly less water volume to flow to the north, then even if you sit in a dinghy and do nothing, you will sooner or later be discovered by the Wood Elves patrolling the forest.

Taking advantage of the convenience of five boats connected together, Bahrain quickly went around the other four boats and came back. Knowing that the dwarves had agreed on their opinions, Chu Xiaobai steered the direction and turned the five small boats connected together to the fork in the road with a small current.

Next, just keep an eye on the shore while going down the river, and wait for the wood elves to take the initiative to appear.

The night is like water, the trees on both sides of the river only leave a hazy silhouette in the night, and from time to time there are a few nightingales chirping in the forest, with the sound of the murmuring water under the dinghy, everything seems so quiet.

Worried that the falling sparks would burn the boat, under Chu Xiaobai's reminder, the dwarves did not light torches. The tools used for lighting were several hand-held magic lamps that Chu Xiaobai had obtained in the Harry Potter plane.

The light of the lantern was steady, and instead of jumping and flickering like a flame, it was like moonlight falling from the sky, spilling on the dinghy and the nearby water.

As Chu Xiaobai expected, the wood elves on night patrol in the woods discovered their traces early.

"What's that?"

"Dwarf~."

"Of course I knew it was a dwarf, and I was asking about those strange lights on their ship~." Hiding in the treetops as he watched five dinghys pass by on the water not far from him, a curious wood elf guard couldn't help but ask his companion.

"I don't know, maybe it's a new trick of the dwarves. You know, they're always going to come up with some weird stuff. ”

"Shall we ......, I mean, do you want to shoot an arrow first, as we normally would?"

"Don't~, let me think. Forget it, let's just go out. ”

Although it is only used for lighting now, who knows if those strange lamps have any other purpose? What if I accidentally blow it up? Besides, there were a few other guys on the other side who looked like wounded on the other side's ship, and even if it was to take care of those companions, they probably wouldn't take the liberty of attacking themselves.

Thinking of this, the Wood Elf guard let his guard down and made the decision to appear directly.

"People in the river, where did you come from? Bring the boat over~! Don't go any further, this is the territory of the wood elves~~! ”

As early as when the two wood elf guards were whispering, Chu Xiaobai, who had strong internal strength, had already discovered their traces, but just to avoid suspicion from the other party, he deliberately pretended not to find out.

"We are Gandalf's companions~, and this is his token~." As soon as the other party appeared, Chu Xiaobai immediately took out the token left by Gandalf when he left from the space, held it high for the other party to see clearly, and at the same time used his other hand to prop up the long pole and lean the boat towards the shore.

"Gandalf's companions?" Those who can come out to serve as night guards are the elite of the elf clan. These two guards were no exception. And as an elite, they have obviously all heard of Gandalf's name.

"Yes. We were on our way to the Lonely Mountain, and we had just clashed with the orcs, and several of our members were seriously injured. The reason why I came here was to ask Lord Elon to help treat the injuries of our companions. ”

Getting closer, seeing the faces of the two elves clearly, Chu Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, the elves are all handsome guys and beauties, and the two patrolling guards are picked out at random, and their appearance is no worse than those world-class male models in the real world.

In addition, Chu Xiaobai was also a little disappointed - he thought that he could meet Legolas directly. After all, are Thorin the protagonists of the "Hobbit" series of movies, and under the aura of the protagonist, shouldn't they meet important people as soon as they come up?

“……。” The elven guard didn't answer, but glanced over the dwarves.

As an elite within the elven race, he also knew the contradictions between the dwarves and the elves. Because of this alone, he didn't really want to report for Chu Xiaobai and the others, and in addition, Chu Xiaobai mentioned the name of Lord Elon as soon as he came up, which also made the elf guards a little disgusted-Are you the lord of my family the uncle who guards the gate of the community? See you when you want?

However, because Chu Xiaobai was holding Gandalf's token in his hand and mentioning the orcs, he had to temporarily suppress the disgust in his heart, pay enough attention to Chu Xiaobai and the others, and seriously think about their requirements.

"Well, we're really friends with Gandalf...... The elven guards were lost in thought, the dwarves were stubborn and reluctant to speak, and when the atmosphere fell silent, Bilbo couldn't sit still.

"Huh? A hobbit? "I thought that all of them were dwarves except for Chu Xiaobai, and it was only then that I could distinguish Bilbo's race.

Because the wood elves and hobbits are both peace-loving races, there is a natural high affection between the two races, so, out of recognition and favor for the hobbits, the elf guard finally nodded: "Okay, you guys wait for a while, I'll send a message to inform the others now~." ”

The guard pulled out an arrow and struck it high into the air with a bow that gave a sharp, high-pitched whistle.

After a while, there was some movement in the forest, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight more elves came to the bank of the river and joined the two guards.

Without disturbing the conversation between the elves, Chu Xiaobai glanced around their faces, although he couldn't see it very clearly because of the light, he still recognized one of the elves in the team, and he couldn't help but have some feelings in his heart.

The elf recognized by Chu Xiaobai was a female elf, and her name was Tao Lier.

'In the plot, isn't it true that Toriel should still be her guard commander in the Woodland Kingdom at this time? How did it suddenly appear here? Could it be that we have taken the wrong path, directly missing Rivendell and coming to the heart of the woodland kingdom? ’

'Also, isn't Toriel the commander of the guards?' At this time, she shouldn't have had a conflict with Thranduyi and was demoted from this layer of identity, right? So, shouldn't Toriel, who has the status of commander, be the leader of the squad in front of him? Why did she look like just an ordinary patrolman, not at all like a captain who had the right to speak and decide? ’

In the blink of an eye, many question marks popped up in Chu Xiaobai's mind.

But it is worth mentioning that what makes Chu Xiaobai's thoughts surge the most is not why Tao Lier suddenly appeared in front of him, but Tao Lier's own existence.

Those who have only watched the "Hobbit" series of movies may not think it is strange, but if you have watched the original book and the movie, you will know that Toriel is actually a new character who does not exist in the original book and is specially made up by the screenwriter and director.

In other words, the very existence of Toriel proves one thing - this is not the world portrayed in the original novel, but the world of the movie.

The characters in the Dragon Plane are not the same as the actors in the TV series, and in the Harry Potter world, the big guys look exactly like the characters in the movies, but the existence of these characters has never broken a rule - whether they appear in the plot or not, their own existence is not enough to determine which version of the plane they belong to.

As a result, Chu Xiaobai subconsciously had a concept - any plane is unique, and it will not be divided into a novel version and a film and television version.

And now, the appearance of Toril has shattered this set of ideas.

She is not like the 'fairies in the lake' that Chu Xiaobai met in the Harry Potter plane, and she can also be understood as a hidden character who 'is not mentioned in the plot, but it does not mean that they do not exist'. As early as the release of the movie, the director and screenwriter made it clear that she was an original character that did not exist in a novel.

Hidden characters are not the same thing as original characters.

'Toriel appeared, meaning it's in the world of the movie version now?' ’

'If there is a movie version, does that mean there is also a game version, an anime version, a manga version, a TV series version, a novel version, and even a fandom version?' ’

In other words, if you go to the "Avengers" plane in the future, you may encounter the comic book version? Running into characters who aren't at all undermined by the film's setting? ’

couldn't help but think wildly, Chu Xiaobai's mind flashed several characters, such as the Hulk who can blow up a planet with one punch, such as Superman who can push the planet with his own strength, and Long Aotian and Ye Liangchen in the online novel.

The more I thought about it, the more creepy I felt, and in the end, all the thoughts converged into one conclusion - and it was a lot of fun.
