Because Xufeng arranged for him not to leave Bilbo, so when Bilbo and Gandalf were riding in the carriage, Yang Gong squeezed beside Bilbo again.

The seats in the carriage could only accommodate two people, but luckily Bilbo was very small, so it only seemed a little cramped for three people, but they could still fit.

Finally, he no longer had to ride on the back of a wild horse, which made Yang Gong very happy, humming an unknown song along the way.

Bilbo asked Gandalf curiously: "Gandalf, you are obviously the archmage of the Holy White Council, but why didn't you and Redagast show up in the situation just now?"

Gandalf took a puff of Shire tobacco, exhaled a big smoke ring, and said with a smile: "Because our Holy White Council has regulations, and the Holy White Council will not intervene in general disputes."

Bilbo blinked. "But you have come to help the dwarves organize the Lonely Mountain Expedition. So the Lonely Mountain Expedition is no ordinary dispute."

"Of course." Gandalf said: "The location of the Lonely Mountain can connect the three elf kingdoms, and it is still facing the lair of the orcs. , the strength of the half-orcs will penetrate there, and by then, it will be difficult."

"So that's the case." Bilbo nodded as if realizing something.

"Then," he asked curiously again: "Are those people in Chaitlin Town just now really sub-elves?"

Gandalf sneered, "How can there be any sub-elf? They are just too arrogant. They don't even look down on their own identities, so they made up the name of a sub-elf for themselves."

"And what is the Evening Star they speak of?" asked Bilbo.

The white-bearded Bahrain beside the carriage grinned and said, "I know that! I'm quite good at astronomy! The Evening Star is a star that rises at dusk. It's also called It is the Chang Gung star, and many people who walk at night will use the evening star as a guide."

"Oh, that's right," said Bilbo.

Gandalf smiled, "Bahrain is right, the Evening Star is indeed a star in the sky, but the Evening Star mentioned by the people of Chaitlin Town is not the star in the sky, but a person who owns the Evening Star." An elf with the title of star."

Bilbo said, "Oh! The man who sheltered Chetlin? Is he an Elven general?"

"No, higher than the general." Gandalf took a sip of tobacco and said lightly: "She is a princess, Princess Evening Star Alvin."

Bilbo said in surprise, "It turned out to be an elf princess? No wonder the people of Chaitlin Town are so proud. They really have the capital to be proud of being protected by an elf princess."

Gandalf smiled and said, "Yarwin is a good girl, she probably wouldn't allow the people of Chaitlin Township to be so arrogant, presumably the people of Chaitlin Township are playing her banner."

Bilbo asked: "You know Princess Arvin?"

Gandalf smiled and said, "Well, I was only invited to Rivendell for a wedding reception when she was born. I probably can't remember how many years ago it happened."

Bilbo said in astonishment: "Wait! The lifespan of the elves can reach a thousand years! Princess Awen must be a thousand years old, right? You went to drink a wedding when she was just born, so how old should you be?" ?”

Gandalf laughed, shook his head and said, "I really can't remember this."

Chapter 1013

Bilbo let out a sigh of relief, and did not ask any further questions.

The Dwarf Expedition moved on.

After an hour of trekking, they finally left the range of Chaitlin Town and entered the dense valley.

After passing through the valley, Thorin asked everyone to stop and rest.

Although it was an hour or two before the meal time, Sorin did not rush into it.

Ahead is the famous Mengshui Swamp in Middle-earth. This swamp has a large area and is full of mist. If you are not careful, you will easily lose your way in the swamp.

Not only is there fog in the Mengshui swamp, but the ground is also full of reality.

Although it seems that they are all covered by green grass, some places are muddy areas that people can easily sink into.

Once someone sinks, the more they struggle, the deeper they sink, and even those who come to help will be pulled down together.

The Mengshui Swamp is the only way to Rivendell. If you don't go here, you will either have to go to the dangerous Mirkwood, or you will have to return to the capital of Arnor and detour through the northern mountains.

If you choose to walk through the Mirkwood, you will also encounter a swamp, and with the attacks of other monsters, it will be even more dangerous.

And if you return to the capital of Arno and go around the northern mountain range again, you will waste another month or even two months.

Time is extremely precious to Thorin, so he would rather take some risks and cross the Mengshui Swamp.

Of course, Mengshui Swamp is the junction of the human kingdom and the elf kingdom, and there are often caravans passing through here, so naturally some signs are left behind.

The caravans built wooden stakes on the hard ground, and connected them with chains, so that as long as they walked along these wooden stakes, they could pass through the Mengshui swamp safely, Arrived in Rivendell.

In this way, the difficulty of passing through the Mengshui Swamp is greatly reduced, but it still cannot be taken lightly.

There were many caravans who thought they would pass through the Mengshui Swamp immediately, but at the last moment, they were attacked by monsters in the Mengshui Swamp.

For the sake of caution, Sorin still chose to rest outside the Mengshui Swamp, and after lunch, he officially entered the Mengshui Swamp.

From this point alone, Sorin is not a reckless man, but a person who knows how to grasp the opportunity.

Of course, compared with Xufeng, Sorin is still far behind in terms of strategy and tactics.

After resting for a while and having lunch, the expedition team continued on the road.

After stepping into the Mengshui swamp, their progress slowed down.

Kili Fili was still at the front to scout the way, and Gandalf's carriage was still at the back of the line.

Compared with the slow speed of the team, the speed of the brown-robed mage Redagast has increased compared to before.

Before, his sled was pulled by 24 rabbits on the dirt road, and in the swamp, there were rich aquatic plants everywhere, and the weight of the sled was distributed on the wide and thick sled board. So in this kind of place, it's almost like arriving at the home court of Redagas.

"This is simply amazing!" Standing beside Redagast, Lin Hai admired sincerely.

Along the way, he has been admiring Redagast intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, part of it is sincere admiration, while the rest is a means to win relationships and increase trust.

Sure enough, Redagast has always maintained a high degree of goodwill towards Lin Hai, but it has never broken through to 50 trust.

Seeing that the rabbit sled was going back and forth all the time, and the formation was somewhat disrupted, Sorin couldn't help saying loudly: "Mr. Redagast, please stay in the team with your rabbits."

Redagast smiled: "I'm sorry for the dwarf prince, I can't remember your name, so I'll call you the dwarf prince, I'm sorry for the dwarf prince, it's such a suitable place for rabbit sledding, you let me follow the team In the back, it's really hard for me, let me find the way for you, and you just follow behind slowly!"

As he said that, Redagast whistled without waiting for Thorin's rebuttal. The rabbits kicked their legs crazily, and the sleigh disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with a whistling.

Lin Hai also stood on the sled, so he also left the team with Redagast.

This can't help but make him a little nervous.

After all, it was the first time that the Snow Empress Squad had left the team for such a long time.

Redagast noticed Lin Hai's face, and then slowed down the speed of the rabbit sleigh, "Why, do you want to go back? If you want to go back, then I can send you back, but, in that case, I There's no one talking along the way, and it's going to be very, very boring."

Lin Hai laughed quickly and said, "No, no, I don't want to go back, but I'm a little worried."

Redagast laughed, "What are you afraid of? Could it be that I will eat you?"
