Chapter 77 A New Journey [Ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket]

When the golden autumn sun begins to sink.

The bright sky is starting to get dark and hazy.

The giant eagles carrying the expedition team flew over mountains, rivers, forests, and seas of clouds.

Flew from noon to evening.

Finally, it landed on the top of an open mountain peak.

The members of the expedition got down from the back of the giant eagle to the ground safely one by one.

When Morgan jumped off the back of the giant eagle, he turned his head and politely said to the giant eagle that carried him all the way: "Thank you, Brother Eagle."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, but suddenly a voice came from behind him: "It's nothing, as long as the half-orcs who fight against darkness and evil are friends of our clan."

A slightly indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and Morgan's footsteps immediately stopped.

He turned his head in amazement, except for a giant eagle standing on the edge of the mountain in front of him, the sky outside was ten thousand zhang high.

Except for the giant eagle in front of him, there was no one else who made the sound just now.

"Don't look, it's me."

The giant eagle continued to speak, his voice was cold.

Morgan saw the giant eagle speak with his own eyes.

Just think of that bunch of lowly dirty goblin monsters in the Underground Kingdom who can talk.

It's no surprise that an intelligent creature of the level of the Giant Eagle can speak.

Although an eagle spits out human words with its curved and sharp beak, it looks weird.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Morgan immediately straightened his mind, and said apologetically, "Sorry, not for a while."

Morgan apologized for the impolite behavior he just looked around in surprise, but was interrupted by the giant eagle: "It's nothing, you are not the first, nor the last."

The giant eagle shook his huge eagle head and said, his tone softened a bit.

Apparently seen more than one person who made the same mistake as Morgan.

"I'm Morgan, nice to meet you."

Seeing the other party's tone eased, Morgan smiled and said, there is no harm in getting acquainted with the Giant Eagles.

"Tobias, it's also nice to meet you human Morgan."

The giant eagle continued: "I saw you today, you shot and killed Bakaro of Azog, very heroic."

"Baccaro?"

Hearing the words of the giant eagle Tobias, Morgan asked doubtfully.

"It's the white wolf."

"Our family has been committed to eradicating evil for many years, and we know a lot about the half-orc family."

"Bakaro is the king of the Gundaba wolf clan, whose name was given by the half-orc leader Azog."

Seeing that the human Morgan in front of him didn't understand, the giant eagle Tobias explained.

He admired this human being who was exceptionally good at archery and wanted to get to know him.

"I see."

Morgan nodded and started talking to the giant eagle, Tobias.

But now it was too late to talk.

After a brief acquaintance, the giant eagle Tobias bid farewell to Morgan and flew into the sky.

On the other side of the open mountain.

Gandalf was also saying good-bye to a giant eagle of the most handsome and tall stature.

"Landroy, say hello to your patriarch for me, thank you for your help."

"Next time we meet, I must have two more drinks with him"

Gandalf looked at the giant eagle in front of him and smiled.

"Gandalf, there is no need to say thank you."

"Fighting against evil has always been the unshirkable common responsibility of the free races of Middle-earth, and our race is no exception."

"If you really want to thank us, you can often come to our Great Wilderness as a guest. Our patriarch talked about you not long ago."

"That's it, it's getting late, we should go."

The handsome giant eagle said with a smile, obviously he and Gandalf have known each other for a long time, and the relationship is not shallow.

Gandalf also knew it was getting late, so he didn't talk much.

The giant eagle named Landvalo quickly turned around and spread its wings and flew to the sky to leave.

Gandalf stood on the mountain with a group of expedition members, and waved goodbye to the departing giant eagles.

The autumn sun is setting in the west, and the last golden sunset glow hangs in the sky.

When the giant eagle group completely went away.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see Thorin Oakenshield looking into the far distance, a majestic mountain peak rising independently of the plain, soaring into the clouds.

Balin, the white-bearded dwarf, stepped forward and stood beside Thorin Oakenshield. He also looked at the towering and lonely mountain in the distance, and couldn't help sighing: "Finally, we are looking far away."

Bahrain's voice fell.

In the expedition team, the older dwarves who had experienced the 60-year battle in Gushan looked at the mountain in the distance with deep eyes and empathy.

Most of the other dwarves basically grew up in the Blue Mountains.

Although he has never experienced that battle, he has heard countless times about Gushan from his tribe, and he has never seen Gushan.

Seeing the gazes of Thorin, Balin, and Dwalin right now, the smart ones have already reacted.

He didn't respond, but he didn't dare to ask more.

At this time, Bilbo, who had guessed in his heart but was not sure, walked up to Balin the White Beard and asked softly, "Where is it?"

Before Bahrain opened his mouth, he heard Thorin Oakenshield answer the words: "Yes, as you imagined, there is the Lonely Mountain."

"It is the place we are going to, and it is also our hometown!"

At night, on the edge of the lush forest, there is a faint glow of fire.

"Papa. Papa."

Grease from dry wood crackled in the fire.

In front of the exuberant bonfire, a dozen figures were sitting cross-legged, eating and drinking.

This group of people is naturally the expedition team that has just gone through several battles and was rescued by the giant eagle.

The drinks, dry food, and even pots and pans brought out from Rivendell were basically taken away by goblin monsters when the underground kingdom was captured by traps.

But this is not a problem for the expedition team who have long been in charge of the wild.

The members of the expedition team were so powerful that they dispatched together, and it didn't take long to catch a lot of prey.

Plus Morgan easily landed a full-grown male piebald deer with his last arrow.

The food for the expedition team's dinner is still very rich.

Although there is less seasoning such as salt and spices that are usually used.

But hunger is always the best sauce.

An all-you-can-eat BBQ meal.

Let a group of members of the expedition team who were already hungry and flustered feel very satisfied.

Finished eating and drinking.

Everyone chatted around the bonfire.

Dori, the dwarf who always had the most questions, suddenly asked Gandalf: "Can we ask those giant eagles to take us directly to the Lonely Mountain?"

After the voice fell, everyone in the expedition team fell silent immediately.

Although Duo Li always had a lot of boring questions, this time he asked the point.

As if aware of the feasibility of this problem, the eyes of the dwarves, including Thorin Oakenshield, almost all lit up, except for Balin the Whitebeard, and they all looked at Gandalf.

Morgan was also taken aback. He had thought about this question before, but he knew it must not be that simple.

So he also looked at Gandalf.

Seeing everyone looking over, Gandalf didn't panic in the slightest. After taking his last puff of cigarette, he shook his head and said, "Impossible."

"The Eagle King will not let them near any place where humans gather, because the human yew bow will hurt them"

Gandalf briefly explained.

The dwarves all sighed.

Balin, the white-bearded dwarf, smiled and said, "It's already very good. Those giant eagles sent us over the Misty Mountains. We won't be too far away from the Lonely Mountain."

The bonfire huddle did not last long.

Everyone in the expedition soon fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

The expedition team ate the leftover barbecue from yesterday and continued on the road.

Maybe the first two days consumed all the bad luck.

on the next journey.

The expedition team went well and had a relatively peaceful journey.

Until, half a month later.
