The Moriath Mine was indeed huge, and only Gandalf had ever been here, so he was now the leader of the team, at the forefront. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even with Gandalf, a guide who "knew" the place, the team walked around this large and ancient labyrinth for two days, but there was still no way out.

Edward and Legolas had a map of Richard's spiritual web, but within the scope of this map, there was still an intricate patch of roads, which once again illustrated the vastness of the dwarven homeland.

"All right, Gandalf, stop and rest for a while, we have already covered this road the day before yesterday. Edward sighed. After two days of rushing to the road, even those with the blessings of the Holy Light were already a little tired and a little out of breath, let alone those hobbits.

"Well, I'll admit I'm lost. Gandalf reluctantly said, "I have entered Moriaa from the valley of the Dinrell River in the east, and I have never entered through the secret gate in the west, so it is inevitable that I will get lost. ”

So they stopped to rest and planned to get a good night's sleep.

In this dark place, time seemed to be irrelevant, they did not know whether it was day or night, but they could only rest on the spot when they were very tired, and then get up and continue on their journey.

"We have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, we're running out of food. Legolas checked Sorey's luggage, took out some elven food and distributed it to everyone, worried.

Edward took the rations and sat down, nibbling on something on the dusty ground with a twig.

Aragorn and Boromo walked over to take a look, and were surprised to see that Edward seemed to be drawing a map.

"Do you remember the road we've traveled these days?" Boromo said in surprise, "and you can still draw a detailed route in such a place where there are no signs and I am dazzled by the mess?"

"It's nothing, Boromo. Edward said without looking up, "This is a necessary skill for a man who has been on the road for a long time. ”

"Well, I don't have that skill. Aragorn couldn't help but admire, "I don't think His Excellency the Grey-robed Wizard has either. ”

Gandalf glanced at Aragorn, but did not speak, as if sulking.

He took out his pipe and took a few puffs, only to find that he was out of cigarettes.

"Why didn't you say it before. Gandalf angrily said to Edward.

"Because we need to determine the route, the journey of these days is essential. Edward said amusefully, "Mr. Gandalf, though he has led us through many wrongs, has also made me certain of one thing. I need to check it out here, it's the central hall of the Moriath Pits, where we might be able to find clues, and if we're lucky, a map. ”

"And Bahrain them. "Or their remains." ”

Judging from the two-day journey, the chances of survival of the dwarves such as Bahrain are slim, there is no trace of human activity here, and there is dust everywhere.

After a short sleep, the group set out again, this time with Edward leading the way.

After another half of the day, Edward led the group to the central hall where they had not been before.

This vast central hall is like an ancient battlefield, littered with goblin and dwarven bones, but also covered in cobwebs. There are many huge pillars standing around it, making it look like a forest of stone pillars.

At the end of the hall, there was a room, the door of which was ajar, revealing its contents - a sarcophagus surrounded by the bones of the dwarves.

Seeing this sarcophagus, Jin Li ran over like crazy, and let out a loud cry.

"Bahrain rests here, son of Fondin, king of Moria. Gandalf, who had come with the golden bolt, looked at the words on the sarcophagus and said.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence for a while, and Edward's face was even more heavy, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Bahrain came here Chinese New Year's Eve thirty years ago with Oli and Ouin. Edward looked at the crying Jin Li and said, "Why didn't he ask our knights for help at that time, why didn't you say it!"

"I only found out about this many years later when I went back to visit relatives in Lonely Mountain. "Thorin won't let me say it, he thinks that our dwarven kingdom owes you too much, so you don't have to bother you and the knights for everything." ”

Edward was silent for a moment, sighing inwardly.

"There are only Bahrain's bodies here, what about Ollie and Oein?" Edward asked without giving up.

"Maybe this one will give you the answer. Gandalf picked up a heavy book, dusted it off, and began to read it.

"It seems that this is a book about what happened to the expedition party in Bahrain," he said, "and I guess it dates from their arrival in the Dinrell Valley thirty years ago." Many of the pages are missing, and the text is blurry, but I think I can still tell what happened to them. ”

Gandalf began to read the book in fits and starts, unable to read even what he could see incoherently, but could only interpret it with the help of some of the words and his imagination.

From his interpretation, everyone knew what had happened to the dwarves.

There is a lot of information mentioned in the book, such as the battles between them and the orcs and goblins, the deaths of some dwarven generals, such as the location of Moria's underground arsenal, and even the mention of Mithril in it.

Of course, the book also inevitably mentions the causes of death of Bahrain and Euin.

Of the three dwarves, Balin died in a sneak attack by orcs, and Euin died "captured by a watcher in the lake", and it is clear that this watcher must be the great squid.

As for Ori, the one sitting next to the sarcophagus in Bahrain must be his bones, and he wrote the rest of the book, whose handwriting has always been the envy of the golden li.

"May your souls rest in peace. King of Moria, Ori the Warrior. After hastily purifying the corpses of several dwarves with holy light, Edward and the others bid them farewell.

It was at this time that the hobbit Pippin accidentally knocked over a skeleton by a well, which fell into the well with chains and buckets. Beneath Moriath is a massive mine, the work of previous dwarven diggings and goblins, and the loud sound of bones falling echoes through the empty subterranean space.

Immediately afterward, a drum mentioned in the book sounded in the ground, terrifying the people who had just heard the horrific description.

"That's the battle drums of the orcs, we must get out of here as soon as possible!" Edward glanced helplessly at the mischievous Pippin and rushed out of the gate first.

The crowd followed him and marched toward the earth.

Orcs and goblins were premeditated, and their assembly speed was very fast, filling most of the hall in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the large number of goblins, which were also mixed with orcs and trolls, Edward stayed at the back of the line, holding the shining star, and slowly retreated.

As they descended into the ground, they saw the arsenals of gold and weapons and equipment that were written in the book, but no one looked at them and ran for their lives.

As Edward passed by the arsenal, he was alerted by Richard and rushed inside, and after a while he retrieved a piece of silver ore from it and placed it in his pocket.

An ogre blocked the door to the arsenal, wielding a mace in an attempt to stop the lone human. Edward slashed the troll's waist with a sword before his mace landed on his head. Rock-hard skin couldn't stop Edward's sword, and the trolls screamed in pain before falling into the abyss of flames.

Edward then used his mage's hand to capture a tower shield in the air, and fought and retreated, finally catching up with the crowd by a stone bridge. At this point, Gandalf was standing alone on the narrow stone bridge, and everyone else had already reached the other end of the stone bridge. A large black figure stood in front of Gandalf, the sound of whirring breathing almost scorching the air around him for several hours.

When Edward saw the monster blocking his way, he was surprised as well.

It was a very large flame beast, very similar to the main general of the Abyss Demonic Beasts, the "White Earth Demon King", all of them were humanoid creatures with legs, sharp claws, hooves, and a bloody mouth. But instead of shadow mana, the monster was surrounded by blazing flames, holding a huge flaming sword in its hand and wielding a flaming whip in the other.

"Fire demons, monsters from ancient times, is this fate!" Gandalf stood at the front of the line, leaning on his staff.

"I am the servant of the Secret Flame and the bearer of the Flame of Arnor. The fire of darkness cannot defeat me, O filthy fire of fornication!Retreat to the Shadow!No evil spirit can get past me!" Gandalf chanted a sacred incantation, raising the sword of Granria in his hand, and the ring of fire in his hand began to glow with intense brilliance.

The Flame Demon raised the flaming sword in his hand and slashed at the tiny old man in front of him.

With a "boom", the hot and evil flame collided violently with the holy flame, and the narrow stone bridge almost crumbled in the middle of it.

The fire demon took a step back one after another, and on the huge head covered by the flames, there was a shock that could not be concealed.

Gandalf took a step back in the same way, raised his cane, and shouted at the stone bridge beneath his feet.

A dazzling white flame rose, the stone bridge and the staff shattered, and the fire demon standing on the stone bridge howled loudly and fell into the abyss of flames. But before it could fall, a flaming whip wrapped itself around Gandalf's feet.

"Gandalf, hold on!" Edward ran as fast as he could, but before the figure could arrive, the sacred grip in his left hand scurried towards Gandalf who had fallen into the abyss.
