Chapter 271: Rivendell (1)


Last night, when I saw a good scene of a little witch fighting against the black knight, and learned that the enemy who was chasing them has temporarily been declared annihilated, and, in the hotel opposite their own floor, there is a free After Frodo and the other four hobbits, Frodo and the other four hobbits can finally have a rare good night's sleep!
So, in the early morning of the second day, the rest was over, and the five people, Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Melly, and the mysterious "Wanderer" who had returned to full condition and had a rich breakfast, once again brought their respective salutes. , The white-fronted brown horse that led the ranger, walked out of the residence they rented at the Prancing Horse Inn facing the time, and embarked on their journey again.
When they left the small courtyard of the residential house and walked onto the street, they happened to see the owner of the Prancing Horse Inn, a group of good-for-you townspeople, and some soldiers speaking loudly and emotionally.
"You must not know, right? I tell you, last night, I witnessed it with my own eyes: there are four evil black knights, they rushed into our town of Bray, and sneaked into my Prancing Horse Inn. , Seems to want to catch someone or find something?"
"Next, they did not know how to provoke a noble little wizard who lived in my hotel, and then, you all look at it! They become like this: look, the corpses of those dark horses , Look at those deformed armors after they died!"
Seeing that more and more people were surrounding him, the innkeeper blushed and roughly pointed and pointed at the corpses of the horses in front of his inn and the armor left by the evil knights after they died.
"You may not know that at the time, I saw that the opportunity was bad, so I hid directly behind the bar, and didn't even dare to breathe! At that time, I almost thought I was dead!"
"But I never thought that when those four terrifying black knights went upstairs to toss for a while, they hacked and chopped, and they turned over and over again, and then, not long after, one of them was taken away by the wizard. The window hits the outside directly? It's the window on the top floor, have you seen it?!"
"Next, when I had the courage to lie down in front of the window next to the door and peeked, I only saw: that powerful lady wizard, she just floated in the air out of thin air, reaching out and grabbing, a powerful black The knight screamed and was caught by her into a ball of iron?"
"After that, she waved like that, and she didn't know what magical trick she had used, and instantly turned the iron ball into a giant axe warrior covered in flames. Just two or two, she just took the remaining three The black knights are all hacked to death!"
"Did you see the giant axe that plowed the street out of a pit? And there, the one-armed man in an empty armor standing still! Last night, it was the one who was in the rain A warrior with flames all over him! It’s just that when it wiped out the enemy, the flames on his body gradually extinguished, and he didn’t move anymore..."
On the muddy grassland outside the Prancing Horse Inn, the owner of the inn happily pointed to the armor fragments of the evil army horses and evil spirits on the ground after they were killed, as well as the one-armed armor that was still standing further away.
Then, when he saw the ranger leading the four hobbits by him, he was taken aback for a moment.
If he remembers correctly, it seems that the four evil black knights went to the room they had originally planned to hack and smash? It's just that, I don't know why, these five people suddenly packed up their things when he was about to close down last night and moved to a house across the street?
If you think about it this way, they must have known in advance that those black knights, those terrifying evil creatures are looking for them, right? In this way, his hotel and that noble wizard are actually filling the tank for them?
So, he himself, should he reach out and ask people like them for a little compensation?
"Huh! Head! I've just visited, the old Ellen who guards the gate of Bray Town was indeed trampled to death, and the town's gate was destroyed! Moreover, judging by the horseshoe marks on the wooden door, These four black knights must have done it!"
At this time, when the five of Frodo approached curiously, they happened to see a militia rushing to tell a man in chain mail who was listening to the owner of the Prancing Horse Inn to introduce the situation last night.
"Well... I have never seen a weapon with this style and pattern..."
After nodding, the big man in chain mail walked directly to a grass, and then squatted down, looking at the black long sword on the ground that was dropped by the black knights.
This long sword should be an elite two-handed knight sword, with a slightly longer grip. It is very suitable for slashing with both hands in a land warfare. Of course, it can also be used as a one-handed sword directly during a riding battle. Come on?
"Be careful... this is a magic cave sword... trust me, if I were you, I wouldn't touch its blade rashly!"
Aragorn was leading the four hobbits passing by, the "Wanderer" Aragorn, when he saw that the militia captain of Bray Town seemed to want to reach out to touch the black sword that fell on the grass, he bowed his head kindly Reminded such a sentence.
"Magic, Devil Sword?!"
Hearing this, the heavy armored man was about to touch the blade of his hand that wanted to try his sharpness, and he immediately retracted like lightning.
Then, when he turned his head to look at the man who had just passed by and kindly reminded him, he only saw the hooded figure of the opponent and the four short hobbits following him?
That person... is that ranger? !
After frowning for a while, the militia captain said that the ranger who walked past, the middle-aged man with weird track and extraordinary skill, had seen him many times in the town of Bray, but there was no intersection between the two sides.
"Captain, what exactly is the Demon Cavern Sword?"
Seeing that his captain suddenly closed his hand when he was about to touch the sword, and then looked at the weird who had reminded his captain that he had gone farther and farther, a man with an iron helmet and armor in his hand The Bray Town militiaman with a wooden spear came over and asked with some curiosity.
"Demon Cave Sword..."
"According to the rumors, it is an evil weapon from the Demon Caverns of Minas! It is said that anyone who is injured or stabbed by a sword blade will gradually fall into eternal darkness without effective treatment. in……"
"Then... it will become a kind of immortal existence..."
Looking at the black sword on the ground, the militia captain's face also began to become a bit solemn.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the surrounding people who were killed by the witch, but there were no human corpses. There were only three black knights with broken and collapsed armors. He seemed to believe the ranger's words.
"It's so mysterious? It must be fake, right?"
"Head! Look, this thing looks very well-made, it should only be used by aristocrats, right? I think it must be very valuable!"
"Yes! Captain, don't care what it is, let's just put it away and sell it for money?"
Compared with this big man captain in chain mail, the other militiamen with long spears don't have so many worries.
The dilapidated, collapsed and twisted knight armors around had already been scrapped, so they could only be used as scrap iron for a small amount of money. However, these three long swords dropped here are different. Looking at their excellent workmanship, they are definitely worth a lot of gold coins!
At that time, if they were to share one point together, they would be able to pay their respective hands, and they would definitely be able to pay for the military expenses of these people for several months. There is absolutely no reason to let this kind of windfall windfall be lightly!
"Humph! Are they the swords of the Devil Cave? We will know soon!"
After pondering for a while, the captain, who was a little bit unsure about the rumored matter, did not continue to control the noise of his men. So, when he stood up and looked up and looked into the distance, when he saw a ray of morning sun shining from above the eaves, he arbitrarily pushed away the two hands that stood in front of him that blocked the sun.
"Okay, you quickly get out of me!"
Then, something that surprised everyone present happened: the blade of the black long sword, when it was irradiated by sunlight, quickly disintegrated and turned into a black mist and disappeared completely? In the blink of an eye, it only left a sword hilt that was still gorgeous in workmanship?
"Tsk! It really is the legendary Devil Sword! This is a big trouble..."
When the captain of the militia once again possessed and picked up the cave long sword with only the hilt from the ground, he looked at the'corpses' of the dead black knights around him. He knew that things seemed to be a little troublesome... …
The four black knights of the Demon Lair died in their town of Bray, so, will they provoke revenge from each other? !
"Where is the distinguished wizard guest? Is it still in your hotel?"
After thinking about it, the militia captain walked up to the owner of the Prancing Horse Inn and asked in a low voice.
"That... I'm sorry!"
"She bought a carriage early in the morning and left... as if she was heading east? As for whether to go to Amon Sur or to the side of Ystad Town, I am not sure..."
The owner of the inn seriously thought about it, but regretfully shook his head at the militia captain.
Earlier today, it was the light and comfortable carriage he bought for the little wizard! However, the little wizard rejected her proposal to hire a horseman for her. She just sat on the carriage without manipulating it, and let the old horse carry her carriage out of the town from the east gate. went.
"Hey! Where are you taking us?"
After exiting the east gate of Bray Town, Pippin and Melly were surprised to find that this weird "walker", he did not take them down the road, but went straight into the dense forest, planning to turn Go directly eastward across the mountains?
"We are going to cross the Bray Marsh, to the wilderness, and then go directly to the sentry on the top of Fengyun Mound! There is one of the meeting points I agreed with Gandalf before!"
Aragorn, the ‘Wonder Walker’, who walked in the front to explore the way, ignored the opinions of the Hobbits behind, and chose some rugged dense forests and mountain streams.
"Then why don't we take the road? Instead, we want to walk through this kind of dense forest? And, you still want to go straight through Bray Marsh?!"
After hearing this ‘smartwalker’ utter the next route, Meli who followed behind complained loudly and dissatisfied.
This is a swamp and a wilderness. Just listening to it must be difficult to walk. Isn't the road outside very good? Why have to climb the mountains...
"Very well, boy! If you think you can escape the endless black knights on the road, then you can go on the road as much as possible, I will never stop you!"
After taking a breath, Aragorn grasped a small branch to stabilize his figure, then turned around, and warned the little Hobbit behind him who had known complaints all day long.
"But, those black knights, aren't they all dead? Just last night, we all saw that little girl wizard, she has killed them all!"
"Yes! In that case, why don't we go on a more comfortable road?"
After Pippin and Meili looked at each other, they seemed to have discovered something interesting, and they began to refute the words of this ‘smartwalker’ loudly.
"If you really want to take the road, go south. With the speed of your hobbits, I believe that you can see the road as long as you walk for two or three hours. If you really want to, then just go. Right!"
"Also, don't blame me for not reminding you: there should be nine ring spirit black knights like last night! And last night, that powerful witch, she only eliminated four of them!"
After increasing the tone on top of the ‘four’, Aragorn shook his head, not wanting to be entangled with these messy things, and continued to turn and bury his head and lead the way.
But in fact, he still has something to say, just for fear of accidentally frightening these timid hobbits!
That's because: Ring spirits are not easy to be killed! Even last night, she seemed to have successfully eliminated four of that little girl? However, Aragorn believes that within a short time, the four black knights who died will still be resurrected in the cave of Minas!
He has no doubt about this!
And only some special methods, or some special weapons that can break the spell of immortality can kill the opponent completely!
For example, their Western Dundan imperial clan has special powers, which weapons are said to have been blessed by gods? Or, his Nasir holy sword?
It's a pity that the holy sword he inherited has long been broken and broken...
"Well, maybe you are right!"
"Well! You just assume that we haven't said anything!"
Pippin and Meli froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered: They had met many times when they were hunted by the black knights of the ring spirits, and when they got rid of the black knights by boat at the Bacobury Ferry in the Shire. Those terrifying black knights, at the time, the number of opponents did seem to far exceed four?
"Frodo, how do you know this ‘Wonder’, he is Gandalf’s friend?"
Sam, who was leading the opponent's brown horse and followed behind, approached Frodo and asked in a low voice. He still had doubts about the tall human being in front of him. He always felt that the other person did not look like a good person?
"Sam, I think the appearance of our enemy minions should not look like this, they... can make people feel an evil aura..."
Frodo remembered that when they were on the frontier of the Shire, when the four of them avoided the black knight under the tree, the aura exuding from each other was very evil!
Even at that time, when the other party lay down to search for them, that kind of aura made those small animals and spiders, centipedes and other insects unconsciously escape from the cracks in the rocks or the soil?
"I think he is evil enough now!"
Indeed, Sam also feels that the aura on the black knights is more evil! However, it seems that this ‘smartwalker’ in front of him is not much better, right?
"Sam, now we have no choice but to trust him!"
With their trusted Gandalf still missing and they and others are still being pursued desperately by the ring spirit black knights, apart from believing in this'God Walker' who helped them once last night, they indeed also There is no good choice.
Besides, since the other party can say Gandalf's name, he can always give a little trust.
"Where is he taking us? We are now farther and farther from the town of Bray."
In fact, what Sam wants to say even more is: Now, they are farther and farther away from their hometown of Shire...
If he were not worried that going back privately would lead those black knights to Hobbiton, and possibly cause misfortune to his relatives and friends, he really wanted to turn his head and just ran back. Anyway, Gandalf was not there. , No one can punish him, or turn him into a stone frog or something.
"Let's go to the guard post at Fengyunding. If Gandalf is not there, we will go directly east to Rivendell, the residence of Elf King Elrond! Lord Zhanji, are you satisfied with this answer?"
Aragorn, who could hear the muttering between Sam Wes Gianji and Frodo clearly behind him, replied loudly without mind.
King Elrond, also known as Elrond, is the high elven lord of Rivendell Grove, and the holder of Vilya, the wind ring of the elves! In Aragorn’s impression, King Elrond is not only brave, good at fighting, skilled in medicine, superior in wisdom, and predictable, he is also the adoptive father who brought him up to Aragorn, and he is also one of his most respected high elves!
In fact, he felt a little helpless for the lack of cooperation of these hobbits.
This time, if Gandalf hadn’t come to entrust him personally, you thought he Aragorn would work hard to protect these few if he didn’t get the slightest benefit. They would only serve as dragging oil bottles. Those hobbit halflings who only muttered behind and questioned themselves all the way? !
"Hey! Guys, did you hear that? He was talking about Rivendell? We are going to see the elves in Rivendell?"
After hearing the words of the leading "God Walker", Pippin and Meli, who had always complained a little bit, finally began to cheer excitedly.
The elves are tall and only exist in the legendary race, they have long wanted to see and see, but they have never had a chance! But this time, if they can really see the elves in Rivendell, then, when they go back to the Shire, they must be able to brag about it for a long time, right?
"..."
Compared with the excitement of these two people, Sam and Frodo seemed much calmer.
Because, on the first night they had just set off from the Shire, they were fortunate enough to see a team of wood elves moving westward. Frodo also heard the songs they sang along the way. It was said that they were going to the port outside the White Tower? It seems that they are going to sea, to go to other places in Middle-earth?
"Gentlemen, hurry up! We must not stop before night falls!"
After walking for a while, just after crossing two mountain peaks, he found Aragorn who seemed to be something wrong behind him. When he had to turn his head to remind him, he saw that the hobbits were planning to camp and eat. ?
This is really hell!
This phenomenon almost made Aragorn laugh!
Sure enough, it is not completely unreasonable for the human world to call Hobbits Hobbits. These short, lazy, delicious guys have just left for less than an hour, so they are about to rest and eat here?
What's the joke? They are being hunted by a group of black knights...
"Still going? What about our breakfast?"
Sam, who was about to pass a cookie to his companion, was puzzled.
Then, he also raised his head to look at the rising sun in the sky. The breakfast time has obviously arrived, so what way to go? Shouldn’t I take a break, have a good breakfast, and when I’m almost done, walk a little forward to help digestion?
"You were in Bray town just now, haven't you already eaten it?!"
When I was in that house, when I got up in the morning, I had already eaten breakfast. For this, Aragorn was very sure that they had really eaten it!
"Just one meal? Yes! I had eaten it at that time, but what about the second breakfast?!"
Pippin, who was about to take over the food, immediately asked back, they, hobbits, usually eat two breakfasts a day!
"..."
Opening his mouth, Aragorn turned his face horizontally. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
These hobbits, really think they're here for an outing? Apart from the real wilderness, except for the black knights who hunted them down, there is no other danger?
The second breakfast? Damn second breakfast! Where is the second meal? Don't talk about breakfast, there is no lunch! Before it gets dark, all they want to eat can only eat while walking, stop to rest, chat and eat, that’s the kind of thing they don’t even think about!
"Guys, I think, they humans probably don't have the concept of a second breakfast?"
Melly just sighed, and suddenly he saw something flying from the sky.
When he hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, he realized that this was an apple that was just picked and thrown from a low wild apple tree in front by the ‘Wizard’ walking ahead?
"Well... what about the tea before lunch? What about lunch? And afternoon tea... dinner... midnight snack? He should know this, right?"
The Hobbit Pippin was a little dissatisfied when he heard that the treatment might become extremely bad in the coming days. In his opinion, he is on his way back, but the basic treatment cannot be lowered casually...
"I can't say for sure!"
After passing an apple to the opponent, Melly shook his head and walked forward.
A few days later, in the direction of Bray Town all the way to the east, a small carriage pulled by a huge troll was pacing freely in the dense forest with no roads.
Little Annie just lay halfway in her carriage with the rain-covered open, letting the two-legged'big horse' in front of her pull herself, and traversed the jungle that had no way to the east. Take it.
She just like this, while throwing some snacks into her mouth, she pillowed her little bear Tibbs and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and beside her, there was her 20mm electromagnetic rod. Sniper rifle, you read that right, it was the shot she would equip as a ghost agent in the interstellar world!
During the days when Annie was on the road alone, she did not rarely encounter those messy things that wanted to beat her wrong idea!
After all, this world of the Lord of the Rings is not simple, it is a magical world! Whether it's desperate mercenaries, traitors, or goblins, half-orcs, trolls, or even huge stone giants hundreds of meters high!
So, on this road, she, who is bothered by those who do not have eyes and is too lazy to use magic, usually gives the other party a shot directly, and it is the simplest and most trouble-free choice to beat it into a lump of meat.
As long as those monsters who dared to stand in the way and want to eat her, she would just "bang" one shot, and then the whole world would be clean! As for whether the headless trolls or other corpses left on the road will scare the passing travelers or something, it doesn't matter to her!
Now, she has walked several days and nights in a row, and she doesn't even know how far she has gone! Anyway, the slow and stupid old horse that used to pull the cart has been released by her, but now, the one pulling the cart has been replaced by this new two-legged, powerful new ‘horse’!
Anyway, Annie only knows that since she got out of the town of Bray, she has been walking eastward. When she reaches this place, there is almost no way out. She is considering whether to abandon this broken wagon and let it go. This poor old'horse', think of other ways for yourself?
Snapped! !
Annie waved her finger, and the magic whip left a red mark on the back of the trolls who was pulling her carriage. The trolls shivered and had to speed up again.
"Don't want to be lazy! I have buffed you to resist the sun."
"If you dare to sneak into a slippery way, you have to think about how well your other wants to be grilled! I know, you can understand what I'm saying!"
While she was talking, Little Annie started to laugh softly.
Because, the troll who was pulling her carriage, the last time she wanted to and slippery, the skin of one of its buttocks was burned into red by her with flames! Let the other party know the pain, but not hurt the other party and affect yourself to pull the cart as a cool force.
Although this troll monster is also smelly, it doesn't look much like the old horse? However, it still has some advantages! That is: since Annie changed this ‘horse’, ordinary gadgets and beasts no longer dared to bother herself casually.
"what?!"
Someone rushed towards him at high speed? Listening to the sound, seems to be riding a horse?
Just when Annie was a little bit distressed because there was a small river in front of her and the troll coolie couldn't move forward, she heard the sound of rushing horses hooves behind her? Moreover, there are still several cavalry rushing towards him?
It feels a bit familiar? They, aren't they here to make trouble for themselves? !
"..."
Listening to the sound of horseshoes that became more and more rushing in the distance, from far to near, Annie stopped the dull troll who was going to forcibly cross the river. She planned to see the situation first.
"Run, Asifalos, run, faster!"
Arwen clasped Frodo, who felt almost dead in her arms, and urged the mount under her crotch. She didn't even care about the wound cut on her face by a tree branch, but kept on. He urged his beloved horse to run faster.
Behind her, just a few positions apart, there are a total of five ring-spirited black knights in black armor and black robes, holding a long sword, and are chasing her.
During the chasing period ~EbookFREE.me~ several times, she was almost blocked by the opponent! If her partner under her crotch is brave enough to break out of each other’s encirclement time and time again with dexterous footsteps, now, maybe she and Frodo have already been captured by those ring spirits. ?
"That's... a troll?!"
Arwen, who had just turned out of the woods, quickly found out in front of him. On the beach, there was a troll who was almost two people tall? When did they dare to come out and move around during the day? Moreover, the opponent seems to be still pulling its trophy: a little girl? !
If it is normal, Arwen might rescue the human girl from the evil trolls, but now she, who is herself, can only bite the bullet and let her love horse pass over the trolls and the little car. The carriage resounded through the river and rushed over. She believed that as long as she reached the other side of the river, she could use the power of nature to chant the spell to summon Wu'umu flood to disperse the black knights who were chasing her!
tap! tap! tap!
The sound of intensive horseshoes sounded. When Arwen was holding Frodo, who was almost unconscious, and rushing into the river with the trolls threateningly, and ran to the opposite bank to reinforce his horse and turn his horse's head, the five ring spirit knights were just enough Can rush to the river.
