[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

Chapter 10 Entering the Jungle

When Ellena woke up, it was already the next morning, and the dwarves were cooking barbecue by the rock wall of the giant eagle's lair.She sat up holding her forehead, still a little dizzy, but there was no obvious wound on her head, probably because she had slept for a long time.

After receiving a roasted rabbit leg from Pangbo, Ellena tore off a piece with her teeth and swallowed it into her mouth. I have to say that the dwarf chef's barbecue skills are really good, and the rabbit meat is still delicious without any sauce. It was sweet and delicious, the heat was just right, the outside was crispy and the inside was tender, which made Ellena, who hadn't eaten for a few days, even more hungry, so she ate a lot of roast lamb.

If Ellena wasn't an elf, she might still worry about whether eating so much meat would cause her to get angry or suffer from indigestion, but elves don't seem to have this problem, they just usually eat vegetarian food.

After a simple breakfast, Bilbo told Ellena what she desperately wanted to know, with a look of fear on his face. "You fell so suddenly that Gandalf couldn't catch you, but the eagle came in time, or you would have fallen into the fire," said Bilbo with a lingering fear, and then remembered something, "The giant eagle agreed to send us to Mirkwood."

So your destination is almost here?Ellena raised her eyebrows, but no matter what, it would be great to be able to cross the wilderness safely without having to walk. It saves effort and time, thanks to the generosity of the giant eagle and Gandalf's good fate as an "eagle".

There was no time to visit the giant eagle's home. Not long after sunrise, the giant eagle took them off.The giant eagle flew high and fast, and the majestic mountains shrouded in mist were quickly left behind. Ellena grabbed the feathers of the giant eagle's wings, greedily and curiously looking at the beautiful scenery under her feet, the number one in Middle Earth The Anduin, the great river that flowed from the north, ran through this endless wasteland, and she had marveled at its breadth, but now it looked like a long thin silver ribbon from the air.This is really a wonderful experience, even if it is by plane, she fell in love with this feeling of flying in the sky, and her whole body seemed to break through an invisible shackle.

Breathing the cold morning air, Ellena gathered the cloak on her body. For some reason, she seemed to be a little afraid of the cold recently. This obviously shouldn't be a problem with elves.After flying for a while, the giant eagle began to slowly circle and descend. It took a long time, and giant eagles are cautious and experienced pilots.The ground was closer now, with what looked like oaks and elms beneath it, and wide meadows in between, and the great river Anduin that ran through it.Standing beside the river is a huge rock that is almost like a hill, as if it is the last guard of the distant mountains, or a toy discarded by the tallest giant.

Soon, the giant eagles landed on the huge rock one by one, putting down their passengers. "Goodbye!" The giant eagle said goodbye to everyone sincerely, "No matter how you live, I hope you can return to the nest safely in the end." Ellena felt that this was the best blessing for the wandering travelers. She performed a solemn elf courtesy to the giant eagle: "I hope to see you again."

They separated like this, but of course it was not the last time they met. Until the Fourth Era, the giant eagles still soared in the northern sky. The Eagle King became the king of all birds, and his fifteen leaders wore gold Collars (forged and generously gifted by highly skilled dwarves), though, are for later.

There is a flat ground on the top of the rock, and there are many steps leading to the ferry with huge stone slabs by the river. At the end of the stairs is a cave. Linna probably guessed who the owner of this place was.Everyone gathered at the entrance of the cave, discussing what to do next.

Elena knew that Gandalf had the task of the Holy White Council, and it was impossible to accompany them through the Mirk Forest, so she was not too surprised and disappointed that Gandalf was leaving, but she was only concerned about how to let a group of stubborn dwarves pass through Seran. Dill, the elven king who is extremely crazy about wealth, has some headaches. She can't say "don't let them pass, I will abduct your son" to threaten him, although she has to say, "Abduct Serendi Son of Er" is fascinating.

Forget it, Ellena looked at Bilbo who still had a sad face, she should entrust this great task to the holder of the Lord of the Rings, anyway, he was the one who did it, and she herself still didn't care about it. I haven't figured out how to explain to Thranduil why she came here.

However, looking at Gandalf and said to the dwarves indifferently: "When you find the treasure, remember to share some with me." Elina felt that the little sadness in her heart was just a cloud. . .

The river here was clear and shallow, and the dwarves took off their clothes carelessly and took a bath in the river, and they would never have such enjoyment again for a long time.Ellena also wanted to wash up, but when she thought of the dozen or so naked dwarves (even though the young people Fili and Kili in it were pretty good except for being a little shorter), this kind of thought disappeared immediately, and she and the other Bilbo and Gandalf, who can swim, chatted on the grass by the river. Bilbo was very curious about Carlock and the people who built him. Until the group set off into the forest, Bilbo seemed to have a lot of problems to solve.

"Well, if you insist on knowing more, I can tell you that his name is Beorn. He is very strong, and a skin changer."

Skin changer?Ellena suddenly remembered that her grandmother's grandfather Beren also had this magical ability. Is there any connection between them?

Gandalf carefully told Bilbo, who mistook Beorn for a fur trader, about the origin of Beorn, and warned them not to provoke this bad-tempered man.

Bion lived on cheese and honey most of the time. In view of this, Ellena felt that he might be more like a bear than a human. No wonder he had a bad temper. Considering his super high strength value, Ellena decided to behave more Be polite, of course, only on rare occasions does an elf make a faux pas.

A group of people climbed up the slope and slowly entered the valley.It was midsummer at this time, and it was extremely hot in the woods, and Ellena felt very uncomfortable.In the middle of the afternoon they noticed a great mass of flowers appearing nearby, cockscomb, purple clover, and white clover, and their sweet aromas filled the air and could be smelled from afar, and in the flower-fields there were Many wild bees, larger than hornets, toiled, the yellow stripes on their black bellies shining like gold.Bilbo looked at the bee swarm in amazement, and he gained knowledge again, but reason told him that it was better to stay away from these strong bees.

Beorn is also a beekeeper, a very powerful mountain dweller, but only like him can he survive for a long time in this dangerous woodland.Elena admired from the bottom of her heart.

After a while, they came to a region full of tall old oak trees (ancient, of course, compared to the dwarves and Bilbo), and among them, there was a very tall thorny forest. The fence, Ellena looked inside, but couldn't see anything.

The group stopped, and Ellena knew that Beorn's house had arrived.

The author has something to say:

I am even more embarrassed to be so late, I hope the writing is not satisfactory. Today, the box office of the return of the Great Sage has reached 2000 million. I am very happy. This is really a movie worth watching. I hope everyone can share it with me. Like the great sage, he has gone through thousands of sails and never forgets his original intention.
