Chapter 574: Moria's Mine: Treasures, and ...... monster
In more expressive films, for various reasons, the time experienced by the protagonists of the plot is very vague, and if there is no narrator to give specific time hints, a scene of months or even half a year seems to have only passed a few days or dozens of days.
This situation is especially serious in epic movies, such as Xiao Lan's Lord of the Rings that they are experiencing at the moment.
On September 22, 3001 A.D., Bilbo. When Baggins was one hundred and eleventh years old, he left the Charles that night and gave Frodo the One Ring and all his possessions, and Gandalf, who had discovered the Ring, traveled to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, to inquire about ancient books;
On April 13, 3018, Gandalf, who confirmed the authenticity of the Ring, returned to the Shire and persuaded Frodo to leave the Shire with the Ring and go to Isenger to meet with Saruman, the president of the White Tree Council;
On July 10, 3018, Gandalf was defeated by a fallen white-robed wizard and imprisoned at the top of the Tower of Osanke.
On September 18, 3018, Gandalf, with the help of the Giant Eagle, escaped from Osanke and went to Rivendell to recuperate, informing Aragon to wait at the Prancing Horse Inn;
On September 23, 3018, Frodo, who had received the news, left the Shire before the Ringwraith arrived, heading to the Prancing Horse Inn and Gandalf, who was in fact gone;
On October 24, 3018, Frodo, who had been stabbed by the Witch King of Agmar, arrived in Rivendell, and King Elon summoned emissaries of all races to convene a Council of the Rings to decide the fate of Middle-earth;
December 25, 3018. The meeting was held one after another, and the results were quickly obtained, and the Ring Guard Team officially embarked on their journey.
The story that was told in the One of the Rings movie in just one hour. In fact, it has spanned a full eighteen years, even since the official confirmation of the Lord of the Rings, it has been eight months, not that people's efficiency is too low, but that the real truth is never as easy as in the story, and things involving the entire Middle-earth continent are definitely not easy to decide.
And the time when the reincarnation enters the plot is exactly where the key turning point is.
Leaving the Shire, Frodo arrives at the Prancing Horse Inn and is pursued by the Ringwraith to the elven capital of Rivendell. During this time, there was hardly any free time, all of which was a non-stop rush through the dense forests and mountain paths, and finally the elven princess Yawen rode back with the blessed white horse Aspharos. But even that took nearly a month, and choosing to go with Aragorn and Frodo would mean running away for a whole month under the hunt of the immortal spirits.
That was really not a good choice, so Xiao Lan was very wise not to mix in it.
Less than ten minutes after the Lord God's protective light curtain was lifted, he left the others who had not yet made a decision. made an unspecified pact with Aragorn. Then he walked out of the Prancing Horse Hotel, and after saying hello to the night watchman, he walked away from Brie, who was about to usher in a dark storm, and after coming to a kilometer away that no one could notice, he and Flora spread their wings together, and flew to the destination of the trip at full speed after temporarily sending Pandora back to the dream space...... Moriath Pit.
The Misty Mountains where its entrance is located are very conspicuous, and the snow-capped Peak of Carranras can be faintly seen thousands of miles away, and the two who flew high into the air crossed this distance with the least effort but also the fastest speed by the air current, in fact, this distance will pass by the edge of Rivendell, although it is impossible to find the Elven Capital protected by the Ring of Heaven from the sky. But this is also where Xiao Lan is sure that he can rush back when he activates the signal in Aragorn, and by the way, he can actually go into himself to find Rivendell, which is difficult to find.
However, things don't always go well. When the sun rose from the end of the ground, they came to a location not far from their destination, and it was only then that Xiao Lan landed on the ground below with Flora.
Not just because of the exhaustion of the long journey, but there is a more crucial factor...... They are lost.
The place of the Misty Mountain Range is called this name because of the fog that has been shrouded since ancient times, because it is so long ago that the fog itself has magical power, and the visibility in it is less than 100 meters, even Kira's mental power scan can only penetrate less than a few kilometers, and it is impossible to reach the destination without the guidance of people who know the way, which is indeed the case.
But in Xiao Lan's eyes, this problem is no longer a problem.
Directly found a location with a good scenery nearby, he summoned Pandora and Kira to the front, and then cut a few stones on the spot to make a "temporary" camp with tables and chairs, like a hermitage, "Take a break here, this kind of intense exercise is not a small burden on your body, just so I can also ask how to walk the next road......"
The moment she heard this, Flora was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did she come back to her senses and asked with a slight frown, "Ask for directions?" Will there be anyone around here? ”
"Of course not, and even if there were, it would be hard to come across it, but did I say I was going to ask someone?"
Immediately, the female knight couldn't help but be stunned again.
And it wasn't until the demon quietly disappeared into the dense forest that she reacted in hindsight: there was no one around, so she could only ask the animal or plant, when would he be the druid of the Friend of Nature?
Xiao Lan is not a druid, but he has his own means.
When Flora lit a bonfire while waiting, Kira walked around and brought back a fawn, and the wild set broth and barbecue walked perfectly, but when she finally found that there was no salt and her face was crying, Xiao Lan, who was holding a mirror in her hand, happened to come back from the fog of the dense forest...... A picnic is doomed, but finding a way is good news.
He didn't do anything that everyone was angry about, he just walked around a slightly wider area, ingested a piece of dreams or memories, and then found information about the traces of dwarven activities in it, and after a comprehensive arrangement, he got the final result.
"Moria's entrance is not far away, and we have been out of luck," his voice paused as he spoke, looking at the fire being tossed by Flora, and added, "...... But not everything. ”
But after this little turmoil has passed, the next road is much simpler.
The two of them didn't even open their wings to fly, but shuttled directly through the forest, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Flora, who was a little irritated and wanted to find something to do, suddenly asked about the good reason and motivation why she chose to go to this underground world and give up everything else for the time being.
“…… Moria's Mine, it should be for the Mithril here, right? ”
Light as a feather, tough as dragon scales, and powerful as magic, Mithril is the most famous magic metal in the fantasy world, Mithril is the best material alongside the Edman metal infused with Wolverine's whole body in the X-Men, usually called Adamantite.
Mithril can make very good magical equipment with strong tenacity, while equipment made of Adamantite happens to have excellent demon-breaking and anti-demonic properties, and it is super strong that is difficult to change once smelted, and will not melt even if thrown into the sun. The two materials are also extremely expensive in the main god space, and the mecha "Lancelot" just costs half of the life savings of the pilot of the East American team just by the Edelman metal plating on the surface.
And the Moria Mine that is about to arrive at this moment, it is the cousin of the dwarven prince Jin Lin in the later Ring Guard, the territory of Bahrain, one of the dwarf kings, and it is also the largest Mithril production area in Middle-earth.
It's a shame to waste, and if you let it go, you deserve to be struck by lightning, right?
So Xiao Lan nodded exactly, but the answer he gave was a little more than expected, "You're right, but that's just one of the purposes." ”
"I won't let go of the Mithril in the mine anyway, but it's not this one that's more important, the dwarves who are too greedy dig too deep, and in the darkness of the Abyss of Nishizawa Dum, they awaken a monster that was active in the Second Age nearly 10,000 years ago, the fire demon of Morkos who was the enemy of the gods in ancient times......"
"However, this fire demon should have only been the lowest in ancient times, and was finally defeated by Gandalf wearing the Ring of Fire with a life hotter than poisonous fire, and broke through to become a white-robed wizard. And since we have come to this world, the opportunity to kill him no longer belongs to the gray-robed wizard, and it is basically certain to get the income of two A-level side plots, plus a soul stone that is suitable for both direct magic weapons and smelting materials.
In addition, the usual tactics in the fantasy world are soldier against soldier against king, and Sauron does not have many hero units, but it has a heinous number of troops, and the best way to fight this kind of enemy is the same army, and in the mine there is a large nest of dense orcs, which is just an opportunity for Kira's queen guard to get a carrier in this world......"
His purpose was still unspoken, but there was no need to say it again.
As they spoke, they turned around and saw a low cliff, about a few dozen feet high, the top of which appeared broken and untidy. Occasionally, some very scarce water dripped from it, and the place that should have been a river valley had accumulated into a small lake due to the blockage of the pathway, and many of the trees soaked in the water had been soaked for too long and rotted and smelled, and the black lake that had no life revealed evil.
"It's the black lake outside the entrance to Moria, and there's an unscientific mutated big octopus in it, barely an appetizer before dealing with the fire demon......"
“…… How about it, solve it easily? (To be continued......)
