Chapter 316: Desolate Tombs, Kingdom Ruins
Seeing the gate of Moriah opened, everyone packed their bags and prepared to enter this almost heaven-like underground kingdom in the mouth of the dwarf golden thunderbolt to enjoy the most mellow ale, the most tender barbecue, although, after the gate of Moria, the black hole inside was dead and silent, which made people feel uneasy, coupled with the strong smell of decay and decay and desolation, it made these people feel that something was wrong here.
Even the dwarf Jin Li, who had been nagging non-stop, was silent after the Moriath gate was opened, obviously, the situation after opening the gate was different from what he imagined, his cousin Balin led many dwarf brothers to greet him warmly, and then, all the way to the banquet hall with laughter, held a grand and sumptuous dinner, completely different, although Jin Li has always been straightforward and fast-talking, but this does not mean that he is mentally defective and an idiot, on the contrary, the dwarf Jin Li has a shrewd mind that is rare in the dwarf clan, at this moment, He already had a faint sense in his heart that once he entered this Moria, he would inevitably encounter a nightmare, although he wanted to leave and not enter this Moria, but whether it was as a member of the Fellowship of the Ring Expedition, or as the cousin of the son of Groyin and the Lord of Moria, he had to enter this Moria, to see if his cousin was okay, what happened to this Moria!
The dwarf Jin Li's heart was so heavy that he ignored Gandalf, who was standing in front of the gate of Moria, and after he opened the gate, he sighed with sorrow!
Under Gandalf's leadership, everyone entered Moria, the Black Hole, and when they all entered, the huge stone door slammed shut!
Gandalf whispered a few incantations. And then. A soft white light slowly bloomed from his hand. It was a fist-sized white ball of light, and it was immediately fixed in the groove at the top of his staff, and with the appearance of this white ball of light, the black Moria finally revealed its true side......
"Ah...... Ahh......hh This...... This...... What's going on? Can anyone tell me what's going on? ”
With the soft white light released by Gandalf, the dwarf who had always been grinning, drinking, eating meat, and bragging, suddenly screamed, and then. He roared loudly with a crying voice!
"Here...... Over here...... There is not a single living person at all...... This is a grave! ”
Boromo sighed when he saw the dead bodies lying on the ground.
"Nope! This is a battlefield! ”
Aragorn jerked out his sword, looked at the withered corpses with arrows nailed to them, and said coldly.
"That's right! These are the arrows of the orcs, these dwarves were killed by the orcs! ”
Legolas pulled out an arrow nailed to the corpse and looked at it, then drew the compound bow on his back as well, and fastened one of the arrows to the string, and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Xing and the others had long known the true situation here, so at the same time as the gate of Moriaya was closed. They all took out their weapons and protected the four hobbits of Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry. Although they had known for a long time that the underworld of Moriah had fallen. However, they couldn't help but be stunned when Gandalf's milky ball of light slowly emitted a soft white light that illuminated the surroundings!
Because, the scene around is so miserable!
Countless dry bones fell to the ground, these bones were killed for a long time, so they were only left with rusted armor and weapons, and the arrows that pierced deep into their bodies, most of these bones were short and stout dwarves, and there were also some half-orc corpses mixed in, and even the surrounding walls, pillars and other places, there were many corpses that were tightly nailed to the walls and pillars by arrows, these dry corpses opened their mouths wide, obviously, before they died, they had all screamed in pain and anger, However, it still did not change their tragic fate.
Gandalf sighed at this time, comforting the dwarf Jin Li, after some persuasion, the dwarf Jin Li finally stopped crying and roaring madly, but the blood-red eyes showed a strong killing intent, the thick lips were even bitten by it, and the scarlet blood dripped on the thick beard, which was particularly dazzling, and at the same time, he also held the big axe behind his back in his hand, lowered his head, and followed Gandalf closely.
Seeing the dwarf Jin Li like this, he didn't say anything else, he automatically stood in formation, and followed Gandalf while on guard, along the way, there were more and more corpses, and the location of the gate of Moria, there was still a place to stand on his feet, but as they went deeper and deeper into the underground kingdom of Moria, there were so many corpses lying on the ground that there was no place to put their feet, if it wasn't Moria, I believe that these people would definitely not take care of these corpses that had long since dried up, and just step on them all the way, But now the place where they are located is called Moria, which was once the kingdom of the dwarves, and the ruler of this place is the cousin of the dwarven Golden Bolt, Balin, so no one wants to trample on the corpse. Fortunately, although the dwarf Jin Li was sad and angry, he did not lose his mind, and when he saw that there were too many corpses on the ground, the dwarf with a simple and kind heart put the axe back again, and then, squatting down, gently moved the bones of the dwarf to the side.
In this way, the speed of progress naturally becomes very slow, but even the hobbits, who like to talk a lot and let go of their mouths, dare not say anything at this time.
As they walked slowly, they came to the middle of Moria, and when they saw the unfathomable, endless and huge pit, everyone was shocked by the dwarves, a short, rough-looking, straightforward and bold race, who liked to drink wine and eat meat, and were good at digging and blacksmithing!
"This is the Moriath Pit! Mithril ore is abundant here, and after the jishu refined and forged by our dwarven clan's secret jishu, Zuihou formed the most famous Mithril. ”
"Mithril is the most haode metal! If it is used to make a weapon, then this weapon is extremely sharp, and it is good at breaking magic, and if it is used to forge armor, then this armor is as tough as dragon scales and light as a feather. It's just that Mithril is very scarce and extremely difficult to forge, therefore, the weapons are better, many famous weapons are mixed with Mithril, and armor is so rare that it is almost impossible to have pure Mithril armor, if there is, its value is almost immeasurable. ”
Looking at this huge bottomless pit, the dwarf Jin Li let out a long breath and said in a deep voice.
"Bilbo Baggins has a Mithril chain mail that Thorin gave him! That Bilbo guy never knew that Mithril chainmail was worth more than the entire Charr. ”
Gandalf glanced at Frodo, then said lightly.
"If it's Mithril chain mail, that's for sure! There are not many pieces of that kind of armor in the whole of Middle-earth! ”
Jin Li nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Jin Li's mood had stabilized a lot, Gandalf, Aragorn and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to move forward......
As he walked, Gandalf walked into a room that looked different, because this room was actually closed, and when Gandalf pushed open the two false doors, everyone saw that a pure white sarcophagus was placed in the center of this room, and a skylight opened on the high roof, and a cold moonlight was projected from the skylight, making this sarcophagus look holy and noble in the moonlight. In front of this sarcophagus, there is a thick stack of books. There were only a few dwarves sitting on the ground, and it was clear that they had not been killed in battle, one of the dwarves pressed one hand on the thick book cover, and the other dwarves sat around the sarcophagus.
"Lord of Moria...... Tomb of Bahrain! ”
The dwarf Jin Li rushed into the room first, took three steps and made two steps, ran to the white sarcophagus in the center, and brushed the thick layer of dust off the sarcophagus with his hands, and happened to see such a line written on the sarcophagus. (To be continued.) )
