How to break into a ring

Before the Lord of the Rings was discovered, Bilbo heard the sound of water in the dungeon where the dwarves were imprisoned, and later he discovered that there was an undercurrent in the cave under the dungeon, which directly connected to the Jungle River outside.

Their meeting point was hidden, down a slope in the forest.

The dense bushes covered the slope tightly, the dark forest was dark, and the river was pitch black. There was a hole at the bottom of the slope, from which the groundwater flowed out. The top of the cave was as high as the water surface of the dense forest, so it was hard to find.

Even if someone jumped into the dense forest river, they couldn't get into the cave, because there was an iron gate at the entrance of the cave.The underground water channel behind the iron gate is winding. On one of the cave walls, there is a trap door that can be opened, which leads to the underground wine cellar of the wood elf palace.

Wood elves love to drink, but only wine...

The Mirkwood can't grow high-quality grapes. There is no sunshine here, and even if there are grapes, they will grow small and sour, and they can't make wine at all.All the wine is transported from outside Mirkwood through this hidden waterway.

The wood elves will also push empty wine barrels and other cargo barrels into the underground river, and open the iron gate to let the accumulated underground river water rush into the jungle river outside with the empty barrels, and finally flow out of the dark jungle.

At the sandbar at the mouth of the river, humans will come to collect wooden barrels regularly, fill them with wine and sell them to the wood elves next time.

Bilbo stole the key in a hurry, stuffed the dwarves into barrels and successfully escaped from the underground palace.This escape plan sounded perfect. Bilbo also found straw and stuffed it into the barrel to make the dwarves lie down more comfortably, but the hobbit didn't expect that the barrel would keep hitting the stone wall in the dark tunnel and hit the iron gate. At the mouth of the cave, it began to hit the roof of the cave again.

This is not the worst - Elrond rushed to the upper reaches of the Jungle River. In order for Gandalf and Thranduil to get rid of the ring spirits and retreat back to the underground palace smoothly, Elrond used a spell to cause a flood, and the wooden barrels where the dwarves were hiding I was also tossed and rolled up and down in the dense forest river by the remaining force of the flood.As a result, these dwarves were covered in bruises. Because they were curled up in the wooden barrel and their limbs were stiff, they crawled out before taking two steps, then fell down straight, and rolled three times on the ground crookedly.

— so it's not like they're not compassionate enough to pull Fay out of the ground.

They found no Nazgul.

The Ringwraiths turned into smoky white ghosts as soon as they were washed by the water. In the eyes of the dwarves, they were no different from the cold white mist floating on the sandbar river.

Hoarfrost is everywhere on the sand, and there are lumps of ice in the stagnant water.

A few rough-skinned and thick-skinned dwarves simply fell asleep, and the remaining dwarves whose teeth were chattering from the cold began to talk non-stop. They talked about Fay next to them, about the inexplicable flood, and those nasty woods. Elves, and hobbits.

"Anyway, we'd like to thank him, otherwise we'd still be in the dungeon!"

"Auli (god of the dwarves) by the way! Maybe hobbits are good at barrel-rolling! Be sure to remind him next time we meet that we dwarves never travel this way!"

"Travel? Don't hobbits like to stuff themselves in barrels and roll them down high slopes?"

"Maybe it's like that!" said the dwarf angrily.

A dwarf with a gold necklace and a brown beard stopped his companions from their strange speculations about hobbits.

Fay felt that this dwarf should be the leader. Although it was often seen in Mirkwood and dungeons before, Fay really couldn't tell a bunch of bearded dwarves apart.Also, fortunately, the dwarf leader is wearing a gold necklace, if it is silver...

"Bilbo says something great has happened to the Wood-elves, and he can't leave—what are we going to do with that dragon without his wonderful invisibility?"

correct!These dwarves are here to find the dragon's treasure!Fay almost forgot about it.

The dwarves were very happy to escape from the Mirkwood. The map indicated that the River of the Forest finally flowed into a large lake called Long Lake. On the other side of the lake was the Lonely Mountain. The once dwarf kingdom was now occupied by evil dragons.

Fay thinks the dwarves' treasure-hunting adventure is really unplanned, because they don't know how to deal with the dragon.Even if the hobbit is there, put on the Lord of the Rings and go into the cave of the dragon, then what?Do you want the little hobbit to take the gold coins and jewels out while the dragon is sleeping?

It will take ten years, right?

The discussion of the treasure didn't last long before the leader of the dwarves stopped talking.

"Don't mention the treasure in the lonely mountain again, there is still a human here!"

"Shorin Oakenshield, you are too careful! Humans rarely understand dwarves!"

"..."

No, he understands!

Fay realized belatedly that he didn't seem to have any language barriers.

He understands Elvish, and he understands what the dwarves say, and the Dark Tongue of Mordor, and Gandalf's incantations seem to be another language... Ugh!And the Common Tongue of Middle-earth, in which the dwarves, the hobbits, and the wood elves converse.

With such a rough calculation by OTZ, five languages ​​appeared.

It seems that he must thank the Demon King for his ambition to rule Middle-earth, and the Supreme Lord of the Rings summons all the rings... Sure enough, the Supreme Lord of the Rings is proficient in the languages ​​of all races!

The air was filled with a cold, decaying aura, which was emanating from the Nazgold, and the breath of the Nazgol was highly poisonous.

The dwarves began to be affected, their tone became pessimistic, and they began to doubt whether the adventure was worthwhile. During the period, they complained to each other and began to quarrel.In the end their voices became lower and lower, and they all fell into a coma.

Fay was unaware of this dire situation.

He has been watching the ring spirits vigilantly. These white ghosts seem to be imprisoned by his orders, and they only float above the stone wall of the sandbar without leaving.But Fay was not so foolish as to think that he got nine helpers, because the Nazgold's loyal object is Sauron, not the Lord of the Rings.

The severe bruises on his body were gradually numb due to the ice cubes in the stagnant water, and Fay's consciousness began to blur. until death.

Fay was lying in the stagnant water, half of his hair was sunken in the sand, and the other half was pressed by the barrel, only a few strands were floating in the water, and dark power slowly flowed out from the pitch-black hair.The expression on his face gradually disappeared, and the fiery red pupils became hollow, as if he had lost consciousness.

The ring spirits floated down and waited for a while, only to find that Fay didn't respond, and the will that had been imprisoning them all along disappeared.The Witch King of Angmar immediately issued a silent call, and he quickly left the sandbar with four Nazgul, heading for Dol Guldur in the south of Mirkwood.

After dawn, people in Changhu Town rowed to the sandbar to see if there were any wooden barrels to pick up as usual.

As a result, this time they picked up thirteen dwarves who were in a coma, and one who couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed.

Changhu Town is a beautiful place. This town is not by the lake, but in the middle of the lake.The house is built on countless wooden piles, surrounded by lake water, and only a wide wooden bridge leads to the shore.

The people in Long Lake Town were not rich, but they often dealt with wood elves, so they didn't leave Fay and the dwarves on the sandbar.The four ring spirits followed into Changhu Town. They lingered near the lake. The dwarves were not seriously poisoned. They remembered the treasure in their hearts, and they woke up within a few days.

The peaceful Changhu Town boiled.

For many years, there has been a legend that when the king of the mountain (the name of the dwarf king in those days) returns, gold will flow out of the mountain, turning the lake into gold.

The old people were worried about the dragon, but the young people in the town were excited about the treasure, because they never believed that there was a dragon in the Lonely Mountain.

This is not surprising, since the dragon Smaug attacked and destroyed the dwarven kingdoms in the year 2770 of the Third Age, and it is now the autumn of 2941.

The treasure map and the key to the secret passage are in the hands of the dwarves. After the people in Changhu Town sent the dwarf adventure team away, they finally remembered Fay.

"Maybe we should inform the wood elves!" they began muttering.

"That's right, maybe we can use this to pay a little less transportation fees..." If we want to pass through the Mirkwood Waterway, we must obtain the permission of the wood elves.

"No! If the Elf King knows about the treasure of the Lonely Mountain, what else can we get?"

"That's right, you must not say it..."

Fay, unaware that he was almost betrayed, has been stuck in strange nightmares.

He saw the western sky full of bright, blinding lights, so bright that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

The earth was shaking, the mountains were trembling, and the sound of horns resounded through the sky.

Many half-orcs wore armor and dragged weapons and ran across the wilderness, behind them were many tall and terrifying shadows.

These monsters have black horns on their heads, flaming manes on their backs, and a pair of huge black wings. Terrible black smoke is constantly coming out of their bodies. Only two terrifying eyes can be seen turning in the flames. Holding a four-meter-long knife, he dragged a red whip made of flames in his right hand.

This is... the Balrog!

Fay looked at this terrifying scene in a daze. The name of the Balrog suddenly appeared in his mind, and immediately after he remembered the original story, the team on the long journey to destroy the Lord of the Rings passed through the dwarves When digging the underground mine, he encountered the Balrog, and finally the gray robe wizard Gandalf fell into the endless abyss with the Balrog.

A monster that can drive all wizards to their deaths!When did so many appear?

There were at least dozens of Balrogs marching forward in rows!

The line of sight suddenly raised, and many black bats the size of blankets flew out like dark clouds. The blood-red eyes of the bats exuded a terrifying light. Just after the black bats disappeared, a familiar figure appeared on the edge of the cliff, and the strong wind blew his hair away. Both the wind and the robe are blowing.

That's Anata.

Long silver hair, dark blue eyes overlooking the wilderness, right hand stretched out, a black light suspended in his palm, he is looking at the dazzling brilliance of the western sky.

With a terrifying roar, Fay suddenly raised his head and saw countless giant dragons flying over with lightning and thunder.

They flew very fast, and soon passed the snow peak. The power of their wings lifted all the snow on the mountain. The snow that vibrates and slides down cannot form an avalanche at all, and is all gathered around the mountain peak by invisible forces, like floating thick clouds.

Anata stepped on this layer of clouds, and the sound of the incantation he uttered was terrifying and terrifying, and even the magma in the ground surged out.

"boom!!"

Fay's dream was interrupted.

At this time, the beams of the house collapsed, and there were burning houses everywhere.Fay looked up from the ruins in a daze, just in time to see a fiery red dragon appearing in the sky.It stepped on the wooden bridge with its claws, and the lake was glowing red.

Fay was not fully awake, he stared straight at the sky, the fire-breathing dragon overlapped with the shadow of the flying dragon in the previous nightmare.

The dragon raised its neck suddenly, and was about to spew out a deadly breath.At this moment, it suddenly felt a terrifying aura, its outstretched wings stopped abruptly, and its huge body hit the house. The dragon was choked by its own breath, and flames continued to spray out from its nostrils and ears. .

It nervously searched for that breath, and suddenly lowered its head:

The dragon's vertical pupils met Fay's eyes.
