"Morgan."

"Morgan."

The members of the expedition team on the bank looked at the figures constantly swimming on the river and shouted loudly.

"I am fine."

Morgan waved his hand, and then accelerated to swim towards the shore.

Although the quiet river under him doesn't look particularly wide, the current isn't slow either.

But the depth of the water below is unfathomable.

Just now, it took him a lot of effort to get into the mouth of the water monster and be swallowed by the other party.

Fighting in the almost completely dark, narrow, extremely viscous, smelly and soft body.

The actual experience was as bad as it could be.

Morgan also once saw movies and TV screens rushing into the stomach of monsters to fight on the earth, looking extremely chic and powerful.

In fact, it was his turn. Only he knew the feeling and danger of being trapped in an extremely narrow and suffocating environment.

If he knew it would feel like this before this battle, he would definitely not take the risk of getting into the monster's belly.

"call"

"call"

With every bite, I was panting vigorously.

Morgan quickly swam to the shore.

With such a deep river, who knows if there will be a second monster like that just now hidden.

It's entirely possible.

"Morgan."

After swimming close to the shore, seeing that Morgan was exhausted, Aragorn and Boromir immediately waded into the water and grabbed Morgan.

"Morgan."

"Morgan."

"Are you all right?"

"Is the monster dead?"

The people on the shore immediately greeted him with concern.

"certainly."

Morgan panted heavily and laughed, "I've already killed that monster."

"Okay, since Morgan is fine, we should go."

Gandalf looked around, and then said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here any longer."

After being reminded like this, everyone immediately recovered from the joy of Morgan's salvation. At this time, everyone was in the mines of Moria occupied by orcs.

As Gandalf said, he stepped forward, raised the staff in his hand, and blew on the magic stone inlaid on the top of the staff.

Soon, the Philosopher's Stone emitted a pale white soft light.

Gandalf walked into the dark stone gate of Moria first with a luminous staff in hand.

The crowd immediately followed in.

At this time.

On the far side of the river behind everyone, a huge body suddenly surfaced.

"Is this the inside of the Moria mine?"

"It seems that there is no trace of the orc."

"No one has walked here for a long time, you can see how thick the dust is."

"call"

In the boundless darkness shrouded by a pale white light.

Several voices were discussing in whispers.

"Although it has been occupied by half-orcs for a long time."

"However, I came here once many years ago."

Gandalf walked at the front of the team, holding a staff to illuminate the darkness, and walked forward slowly, whispering constantly: "That time, I failed to find a half-orc."

"That's why I chose to go to the mines of Moria."

"However, the absence of half-orcs does not mean that they do not exist here"

Gandalf turned his head and looked at the people behind him, especially Pippin, the hobbit who talked the most and was the most restless, and said, "So, you must be careful in your actions."

Seeing Gandalf's gaze, Pippin was about to say something, but Merry, who knew him best, immediately pulled him back and motioned him to keep his mouth shut.

Pippin was puzzled and immediately looked at Merry, who motioned him to look at the others.

Sure enough, none of the other members spoke, they were all quietly listening to Gandalf.

"Since we have chosen to travel through the mines of Moria"

"You must be alert, in this dark underground world."

"There are monsters scarier than Orcs"

Gandalf quietly popularized science for the members of the expedition behind him.

Everyone also quietly followed behind, and the whole team walked slowly towards the dark and unknown front passage ahead.

"How long will it take us to get through the mines of Moria?"

Then suddenly Frodo in the ranks asked in a low voice.

"About four to five days."

"We have to keep quiet so that nothing will be disturbed."

Gandalf looked at the road ahead and said without looking back.

Like Aragorn this time, Morgan walked at the end of the line, stuffing jerky into his mouth as he walked.

It took him a lot of physical strength to deal with the monster underwater.

Only then did he slowly recover.

Walk with Gandalf in the dark underground world of Moria.

Even Morgan has good night vision.

But still can not see how far.

The members of the expedition team followed Gandalf through the promenade scattered with bones, dilapidated halls, broken long bridges, and decayed buildings.
In the entire underground world, there was almost only the slight sound of this team walking around, other than that, it was dead silent.

Time passed slowly.

Morgan didn't know exactly how long he followed the team.

Suddenly, the speed ahead of the team slowed down.

Morgan looked up and saw that the road ahead was a narrow and winding dangerous path, and on the other side was an abyssal pit full of various mine lamps.

It turns out that the expedition team came to the place where the Moria dwarves mined ore.

"The true wealth of Moria is not in gold, silver or gems"

Gandalf looked at the mine beside him, and slowly said while advancing carefully, "It's Mithril."

"Bilbo has a mail smock all forged of mithril that Thorin gave him."

Jin Li, who was following behind, nodded immediately when he heard this: "I also know about this. It is a precious gift worthy of presenting to the king."

"Yes."

Gandalf smiled and suddenly turned his head to look back and asked, "Does Morgan know too?"

"of course."

Morgan spoke up.

"But I never told Bilbo that that mithril mail blouse was worth more than all the Shire."

Gandalf said with a cheerful smile.

In the middle of the procession, Frodo, who was walking with the hobbits, changed slightly.

He didn't expect Bilbo to give him such a precious mail blouse.

No one else could have imagined that the mithril blouse worth the entire Shire was being worn on him.

This is worthy of the name to wear a city on the body.

Frodo's thoughts turned a little strange.

But under such a dim light, no one could notice the change of expression on his face.

The team moved on.

At this time, Morgan, who was walking at the end of the line and chewing jerky, seemed to have noticed something, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around to look at a dark place behind him.

In the darkness, a thin and small figure flashed past his sight and quickly hid in the deeper darkness.

"what happened?"

Sensing the strangeness of Morgan behind him, Aragorn turned back and asked.

"fine."

Morgan shook his head.

Only then did he remember that the one following the team should be the "Gulu" who ran away from the dark forest.

Aragorn caught Gollum in the Death Swamp of Mordo and sent him to the Woodland Kingdom to be imprisoned.

But during the release time, the orcs came to capture Gulu and attacked the wood elves who were releasing the wind, which made Gulu run away.

I just don't know when that guy followed up.

I didn't even realize it.

Walk through the mines of the dwarves of Moria.

Not long after the expedition team followed Gandalf, they came to a large hall.

Walk through the hall and stand in front of the four dark stone gates.

Gandalf stopped in his tracks.

He kept looking at the four dark doors for a long time.

Gandalf said suddenly, "I seem to have forgotten this place."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

Here, Gandalf once came to Moria. If he forgets the way, everyone will be blinded.

"What should I do?"

Still restless, Pippin asked first.

"What else can I do, get something to eat first, maybe I will remember it when I am full."

Gandalf turned his head and sat down on the dusty steps behind him.

Everyone looked at each other, and immediately put their bags together, and then began to disperse and search for firewood that could be used to burn.

After half an hour.

"crack.crack."

A pile of vigorous bonfires burned in the hall.

There is a cooking pot on the bonfire, and the soup in the pot is tumbling.

Sam is busy.

Beside the fire, everyone was sitting together, taking out their tobacco rods and smoking.

Gandalf sat a little far away with a cigarette stick in his mouth, looked at the four doors not far away without saying a word, and kept smoking the cigarette stick in his mouth.

"Are we lost?"

"should be."

"No, Gandalf is thinking"

"Where are all the Orcs you said went?"

"Who knows, it should be hiding."

"But I'd rather have those orcs dead."

"Soup is fine."

Sam scooped some of the bowl with a spoon, tasted it, and immediately spoke.

"Give me a bowl."

"Give me a bowl too."

"I will do it myself."

"I still have some mutton jerky here, but I like to eat beef, does anyone have a change?"

"I'll trade it with you. I like mutton."

"Which one of you has pork?"

"Who will eat pork?"

"What about dried fruit, does anyone have any leftover dried fruit?"

"I've already finished eating."

"Morgan might have"

A group of people chattered around the fire.

Morgan just walked all the way and ate all the way. At this time, after drinking three big bowls of boiling hot soup, his stomach was already full.

He took a bowl of thick soup and walked towards Gandalf who was looking at the four stone gates in thought.

"Give"

Gandalf took the bowl, put down the pipe immediately and started drinking.

Satisfied with a bowl of steaming soup, Gandalf put down the bowl, looked at Shimen in front of him again and seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up immediately: "I think, I know which way to go."

10 minute later.

The team hit the road again.

"I feel like I'm still a little hungry."

"You just drank three bowls of thick soup"

"Soup doesn't make you feel full."

"Then go talk to Gandalf and Morgan"

"Forget it, I feel that this level is almost the same."

"After all, it's uncomfortable to eat too much, isn't it?"

"."

whispered the two little hobbits, Merry and Pippin.

Jin Li suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"

"Is it dawn?"

"It must have been dawn long ago, but I just don't know when it is."

"We've been here for a long time."

Legolas, who was beside him, answered in a low voice.

Last in line.

Aragorn, who was walking behind Morgan, seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned around and looked back.

"Did you see it too?"

Morgan turned to look at Aragorn and said.

"I didn't see what it was."

Aragorn nodded and looked at Morgan: "When did you find out?"

"Not long ago."

Morgan looked at the darkness behind and said softly.

"You know what that is?"

Seeing Morgan's determined expression, Aragorn spoke again.

Morgan nodded: "Well, if I'm not mistaken, Gulu should be following us."

"Guru?"

Aragorn looked surprised.

"Correct."

Morgan nodded again: "I just don't know when that guy followed."

Everyone in the expedition team was chatting with each other.

I spent a long time in the oppressive darkness underground and hurried on the road.

The people's words also seemed to increase.

But when everyone chatted, they all knew that they were in the depths of the dangerous Moria mine, so they kept their voices to a minimum.

Time passed slowly.

The team moved on tirelessly.

I don't know how long it has been in this dark and dark underground world.

Gandalf, who was walking in front of the team and leading the way, looked around and suddenly made a voice: "So we have already arrived here."

"I ventured to brighten the light so that you can see the dwarf's masterpiece."

Gandalf was talking to himself, and blew again on the Philosopher's Stone inlaid on the top of the staff.

I saw that the originally faint light immediately became much brighter.

Gandalf then held up the staff so that the light could shine wider and farther.

Then, the group of members who followed discovered that not far from the crowd, there were huge stone pillars that could only be embraced by two or three adult human men.

Each huge stone pillar is at least 70 meters high.

Each stone pillar is carved with various exquisite reliefs.

These giant stone pillars are horizontal and vertical, neatly and symmetrically, standing upright every few meters, extending to the dark front, and there is no end in sight.

The expedition team stood in it, as small as ants.

"Look, this is the magnificent home of the dwarves, Moria!"

Gandalf held up the luminous staff and spoke softly.

The members of the expedition team behind him were stunned.

Even Morgan, even Gimli who has seen the hometown of the Turin dwarves, the Blue Mountain and the Lonely Mountain Erebo.

Looking at the huge building complexes that are even more magnificent than the several hometowns I have seen before, I feel sincere amazement.

These buildings, even if they are built on the ground, are enough to make people marvel.

What's more, it is built in this deep underground world.

As long as you think about the difficulty of building these buildings, you can imagine the glory of the Moria Dwarf Kingdom.

"It's unbelievable"

"It's nothing short of a miracle."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a magnificent building would have been built in such a deep underground."

“A real eye opener”

Everyone marveled and walked on the magnificent and broad stone pillar square and kept moving forward.

After half an hour.

Just when everyone was about to walk through this magnificent building complex.

Just when Morgan thought he would pass through Moria unharmed.

at this time.

"Roar"

A deep, trembling, and terrifying roar suddenly came from the end of the huge stone pillar on one side.
