Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 162 Chapter 161 Greed, commotion!
The sky turned completely dark.

The cold wind whistled.

In the forest on Edge Avenue not far from Long Lake.

The fire was faint.

When Morgan revealed that he possessed magic storage equipment and displayed it in public, the expressions of surprise and astonishment on the faces of Tariel and Bilbo did not exceed Morgan's expectations.

In the eyes of the two, as long as the equipment can be related to magic, it seems that no matter how magical it is, it can't be overstated.

However, when Morgan heard Gandalf's words, and then saw the heavy expression and frown on Gandalf's face.

Morgan immediately realized what the other party was thinking.

Just when he was about to speak.

At this time, looking at Morgan, who was a little surprised, but obviously guessed by himself, Gandalf asked again in a deep voice: "Answer me, Morgan!"

"Is the magic equipment you have a ring?"

Gandalf continued to ask, and his serious expression immediately attracted the attention of Tariel and Bilbo.

The two also looked at Morgan.

Realized Gandalf's misunderstanding.

Morgan took a deep breath, and his mind immediately turned at high speed.

Even if he knew what Gandalf was worried about.

But he can't say it casually, because many of the "foreseeing" knowledge he knows are basically secrets among secrets to ordinary people, and it is extremely difficult to obtain and know.

It is Gandalf, who has lived in the entire Middle-earth world for countless years and is extremely knowledgeable. Just to verify the Lord of the Rings in Bilbo's hand, he read a lot of knowledge and spent a lot of effort to verify it.

For example, Morgan knew that the ring in Bilbo's hand was the Lord of the Rings.

But he couldn't prove it, he couldn't explain it.

He couldn't use enough knowledge or information to prove why the ring in Bilbo's hand was the most important Supreme Lord of the Rings.

Just like Morgan does know a lot of things now, but what he knows is only the most superficial information.

Without enough knowledge and data to support him, he couldn't explain much of what he now knows.

The middle-earth world he is in now is not a movie world, let alone a game world, but an extremely real world.

In this world, no one is more stupid than anyone else.

Just like Gandalf in front of him, Morgan just mentioned a piece of magic equipment he owns, and the other party can quickly think of other things.

Thinking of this, looking at the serious Gandalf in front of him, Morgan simply nodded: "Yes."

As he spoke, he directly showed that there was a silver-white dimensional ring on Le's right hand finger.

Since it is inconvenient to say more, it is better to show it to Gandalf directly, so as to dispel the other party's suspicion.

"Is there something wrong?"

Morgan raised his left hand slightly, looked at Gandalf and asked.

There was no answer to Morgan for the first time.

Gandalf immediately took a closer look at the ring on Morgan's hand.

The ring is silvery white, although it looks brighter than ordinary silver rings, but that's all. The shape of the ring is not carved or textured, and it looks very ordinary.

It resembled none of the Lord of the Rings he knew.

Observing this quickly, Gandalf immediately relaxed a lot.

It's not that he made a big fuss and was too nervous.

But the human race, the resistance to the Lord of the Rings is really hard to describe.

Lord Eldron of Rivendell was his friend for many years.

He knew that both Gondor and Arnor's High King "Isildur" had been corrupted by the Lord of the Rings to feed their minds.

Otherwise, Sauron, who was the greatest evil existence in the entire Middle-earth world, would have already declared defeat and died.

Gandalf glanced at the ring on his hand calmly.

Yes, he is now carrying the "Ring of Fire" Naya, known as one of the three rings of elves.

"never mind."

“Just thought of something special”

Gandalf looked at Morgan and shook his head, and continued, "By the way, how long have you had this ring?"

"Also, do you feel any discomfort while wearing it?"

Looking at Gandalf's face in front of him, he really relaxed a lot.

With a smile on his face, Morgan began to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "It's been a long time, when I left my hometown and just started wandering around, I got it"

"As for discomfort, no, no discomfort at all."

"It's been on my wrist until now"

At this moment, Tariel beside him suddenly asked, "Morgan, I haven't heard you mention it yet, where is your hometown?"

"Uh"

"My hometown. Speaking of which, it's a very far away place."

Morgan began to babble about his so-called origins.

Bilbo, who was sitting next to Gandalf, looked at Gandalf's violent reaction to Morgan's revealing of his magic ring, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

One hand reached into the pocket, constantly touching the magical ring in the pocket.

Thinking about whether he should also tell a few people about the existence of the ring.

It was only until Morgan finished talking about his hometown and his tragic life experience.

In the end, Bilbo was not willing to take out the Supreme Lord of the Rings in his pocket.

At this time, the snow in the cooking pot on the campfire had already melted and started to boil.

Morgan also kept taking out all kinds of fresh food from the Dimensional Ring space, and started cooking today's dinner.

It's getting darker.

When the cold wind howled outside the forest, heavy snow fell again.

The four people sitting around the campfire held bowls in their hands, drank steaming vegetable soup, and watched the heavy snow falling suddenly outside.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, with such a bowl of hot soup, it seems that no matter how bad the weather is, it doesn't matter.

The night is getting darker.

After the four of them finished their dinner, they chatted for a while.

Finally ready to fall asleep.

In such a field, there are several people's horses not far away, and there must be a vigil at night.

It was Bilbo that night's watch was agreed tonight.

When Gandalf reclined on the blanket and fell asleep not far from the fire.

Morgan and Tauriel were also wrapped in blankets, and they sat next to each other under the big tree by the fire and snuggled up to sleep.

Sitting in front of the bonfire and stirring the fire in front of him, Bilbo looked at the two sleeping people across from him from time to time, and couldn't help feeling a faint, unprecedented strange emotion in his heart.

That emotion is called loneliness.

Yes, Bilbo had never thought before that he would feel lonely any day.

In his opinion, there are too many things that he can do alone.

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner alone, read a book alone, drink tea alone, and live alone.

Carefree and carefree.

However, looking at Morgan in front of him.

Looking at the relationship between Morgan and Tauriel these days.

Bilbo couldn't help feeling a little shaken in his heart.

Morgan seems less at ease now than before.

However, the smile on Morgan's face not only didn't decrease at all, but also increased.

"Maybe, you can try it yourself?"

"Find a partner and experience a different life."

"I have lived alone for a long time, it should be time to change."

"Well, I'll try it next time I go back."

"But who should I turn to?"

"In Bree, Marcie from Andrew's family seems to be pretty good, although she's much older than me, and she's not married yet."

"Susanna of the Leicester family is also very beautiful, although she is smaller than herself"

"There's also Jenny from Hall's family, she seems to be pretty good too."

"Hey, there are so many, which one should I find?"

"It's a bit annoying"

Outside the forest, the cold wind howled and the snow fell heavily.

In the forest, before the bonfire, Bilbo was full of thoughts.

Early the next morning.

It was just getting brighter.

When Morgan just opened his eyes.

I saw Gandalf already sitting in front of the campfire smoking a cigarette.

Beside him was Bilbo, soundly asleep.

On the bonfire, the rich white soup in the cooking pot is steaming, and red radishes and green vegetables can be seen tumbling in the soup.

Smell the aroma constantly wafting from the cooking pot.

Gandalf had apparently been awake for some time.

Morgan was about to get up, and just made a move.

The female elf Tariel who was snuggling up to her was covered with a big blanket and woke up immediately.

"Morning, both of you"

Gandalf looked at Morgan and the female elf who woke up and smiled.

He is in a good mood.

After his careful and repeated thinking last night, he was basically sure that the magic ring in Morgan's hand should not belong to any Lord of the Rings he knew.

Of course, what exactly Morgan's ring is, he needs to check the information before he can know.

Generally speaking, as long as it is a magical equipment with magical abilities, it will definitely leave records and records.

"It's related to human beings, with an ordinary shape and a silver appearance, especially a magic ring with a storage function"

With these characteristics, it must be much easier to investigate.

Gandalf, smoking his pipe, added wood to the campfire.

Morgan and Tariel had finished washing outside in the snow.

When the two returned to the campfire.

Bilbo woke up at this moment too.

When breakfast is finished.

Watching the skillets, spoons and parcels disappearing from Morgan's hands.

Gandalf couldn't help sighing: "It's so convenient to have such a ring."

Bilbo nodded too. "Yes, especially when you're out on a journey."

"Morgan doesn't have to worry about his meals at all."

"A hearty meal can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime, as long as it's prepared ahead of time"

Bilbo spoke sincerely.

The hobbit has always loved good food, and it was his true opinion.

But even so.

Bilbo also felt that the magic ring in Morgan's hand that could store things was not as good as the magic ring in his hand that could make him invisible and disappear.

Although this ring sometimes makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"All right."

"We are together now and will be for a long time to come."

"I own such a magic ring, doesn't it mean that you have the same?"

Morgan said with a smile.

Bilbo nodded again and again: "That's true. In order to ensure our meals, I think we will take Morgan with us when we travel far in the future."

Hearing Bilbo's rare joke, Gandalf laughed too: "That's a really good idea."

"Haha, if you don't forget to call me, then it's fine."

In Morgan's hearty laughter.

After the four of them packed up and extinguished the bonfire, they set off again.

There was a lot of snow last night.

The Wilderness Avenue was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The speed of the four of them will definitely be slower today than yesterday.

it's fine.

This journey is a journey of fun.

There is no particular time limit.

The journey is naturally more relaxing.

The snow-covered mountains seem to be covered with new clothes, covered in silver, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

Gallop down Long Lake Edge Drive.

The mood of the four became fresh like the world after snow.

Five days later.

In a vast woodland wilderness.

A four-person team is galloping across the wilderness on horseback.

On that day, the light cluster in the sky sank to the west.

The sun is starting to turn icy cold.

The four-person team finally stopped in front of incomparably huge and towering peaks.

These four were naturally from the four-member team of Morgan Taril, Gandalf, Bilbo, who set off from the Lonely Mountain to Rivendell a few days ago.

On the second day after they left the lonely mountain, they walked out of the huge and incomparably long lake.

On the fourth day, we reached the edge of the Northern Mirkwood.

Today is the sixth day.

They finally stopped in front of the majestic mountains with no end in sight.

"Gandalf, are we not going to climb these mountains?"

Looking up at the steep mountain ahead, Bilbo couldn't help looking at Gandalf and asked.

After the words fell, Morgan and Tauriel immediately looked over.

It was starting to get dark.

Looking at the towering mountains shrouded in darkness.

Several people looked a little heavy.

Because the trees that can be seen in front are all withered and yellow, without a trace of green, and a bird song can be heard.

The current situation is very similar to what the expedition team saw when they first arrived at the Mirk Forest.

Facing Bilbo's question, Gandalf didn't answer right away, but immediately picked up the tobacco rod hanging on his waist, lit it, and took a big puff, exhaling thick smoke and said: "I mentioned it to you earlier. Pass"

"The mountain range in front of me is the Mirkwood Mountain Range."

"They, like the entire Southern Mirkwood, are tainted by shadows."

"But we don't need to go through them."

Gandalf held his cigarette stick in his mouth, turned his head and looked at the three people behind him and continued, "It's getting late, let's find a place to spend the night first, and get something to eat, I'm already hungry."

Hear Gandalf's words.

The three people on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially Morgan and Bilbo, they were too impressed with their experience in the corrupt Mirkwood.

Nobody wants to walk into the Corrupted Mountains ahead if they can.

It didn't take long.

The four-person team started to light a fire under a big tree in the wilderness to prepare dinner.

There is Morgan with a magic ring of storage.

Dinner for four is still rich.

When Bilbo drank a bowl of hot fish soup, lamenting that the fatigue of the day's journey was melted into the soup.

The crowd took it for granted.

Rest at the foot of the Mirkwood Mountains next to the Corruption.

The vigil became even more important.

Looking into the distance around the wilderness, eyes glowing green and red against the light of the campfire.

The four horses tethered around were pacing restlessly.

Morgan knew he wouldn't be free tonight.

Early the next morning.

When Gandalf and Taril Bilbo woke up and looked at the large number of wolf corpses and a few bear corpses lying around in the distance, they knew that Morgan had experienced a battle last night.

It's just that they didn't notice it at all, and they weren't woken up.

"how did you do it?"

Facing the eyes of the three people.

Morgan said calmly: "It's very simple, you just need to shoot them as soon as they appear in your sight."

The four-man team hit the road again.

As Gandalf said, the party of four did not cross directly across the Mirkwood Mountains.

Instead, he walked vertically toward the depths of the Mirk Forest Mountain Range.

Accompanied by a team of four into the Corrupted Mountains.

All kinds of dangers and troubles followed.

Fortunately, the team is strong, including Morgan and the female elf Tariel, who are extremely skilled in archery.

There is also the existence of the wizard Gandalf who is like a guiding light.

The four-person team walked through the corrupted Mirkwood mountains at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.
