[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

The end of December is not a suitable season for travel. From a distance, the mountains of the Misty Mountains are covered with thick snow. This will bring great trouble to the expedition team, but the situation does not allow them to wait until next year Start again in spring.In order to avoid possible spies in the sky, a group of people marched in the dark night. Gandalf walked in front, followed by Elena and Aragorn who could run blindfolded on this land, and the others lined up. The sharp-eyed Legolas was in charge of the guard.

This journey was not hard for Ellena, but it was really boring, the cold wind, the cold food, and the surrounding scenery looked exactly the same every day, as if they were going around in circles.

I miss Bilbo's jokes so much.Ellena muttered in her heart.

On the morning of the tenth day, the expedition team finally came to the foot of the mountain range, and what greeted them was a pale but bright sun.They stopped to rest in a lowland surrounded by ancient holly trees, old trees that seemed to be one with the rock, their dark leaves reflecting the sun's light, and the trees were studded with bright red plums.

Elena poked Legolas, who looked at her suspiciously, and she pointed to the plums hanging high on the tree: "Can you pick some for me?"

"I don't think this is something you would like to eat, at least I have never seen you eat it." Legolas expressed doubts about Elrina's motives.

Ellena hugged her lover's arm decisively and began to act like a spoiled child: "Don't worry, honey, help me pick a few, just a few, I suddenly want to eat."

"Okay, okay, stop rubbing." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Legolas blushed, and he quickly freed his arm from Errina's grasp and climbed the tree to pick plums for her.

Elena seemed to have not seen Aragorn's resentful eyes, and directed Legolas with a smile: "Over there, over there is more popular."

Frodo looked at the two with some envy: "Errina and Legolas have such a good relationship."

Gandalf smiled and smoked his pipe: "Young people are always very energetic."

young?The rest of the people have nothing to say, except for Gandalf, the two "young people" are the oldest...

After a short break, the group began to discuss the next route.The place where they are now is the ancient Erejan, that is, the region called Horin by humans, which was once inhabited by the Noldor long ago, and where Celebrimbor, grandson of Feanor, forged The Three Rings of the Elves, but this place has been abandoned for an era, leaving nothing but vague and sad memories.

Three high mountains stood in their way to the Vale of Dimrill, Karahoras the Cruel, Serabdir the White, and Farudhor the Grey, whose common names were the Red Horn, the Silver Peak, and the Cloudtop, and There are dwarven names that even Ellena finds difficult to understand.Gandalf's planned route is to go through the Red Horn Pass and then take the Dimrill Ladder to enter the deep valley where the Mirror Lake is located, and follow the Silver River deep into the woods to reach the big river. Elina has a different view on this.

"Traveling through the Red Cape Pass is a bit too risky in this season, not to mention that the snow is too deep and difficult to trek through. On the snow, we will easily be spotted by the birds in the sky, which will make our previous efforts go to waste."

Gandalf frowned. "Then you suggest that way."

"I don't think that's a good idea until you're cornered." Aragorn shook his head.

"It's really dangerous there, but it's hidden enough. Bahrain once drew a map and gave it to me. As long as we move quickly, we can leave there before the enemy notices." Elina took out a roll of sheepskin from her carry-on bag The paper, which looked old, had squiggly paths drawn on it.

"Oh," Gandalf smiled, "Old Bahrain is really embarrassing. He never mentioned this to us. I have to say, Elina, your suggestion is very tempting."

After the discussion, everyone who hadn't slept all night was ready to take a good rest. Ellena lay down next to Legolas. The soft grass made all her muscles relax. Perhaps in less than five seconds, she entered the dream.She turned over and pressed her face against Legolas' chest, rubbing it comfortably.

What she didn't know was that when she fell asleep, a large group of black crows flew over them, and Aragorn decisively extinguished the campfire.

"Wake up, Ellena, we are leaving."

Ellena stood up, night had just fallen, and they had to set off as soon as possible.Aragorn and Gandalf's faces were very heavy. The expansion of Sauron's power made them feel very worried and nervous. They finally decided to go to the abandoned mines of Moria.

The one who led the way became Ellena. She was the person most familiar with this road, but that was already 30 years ago. The environment around Moria had changed a lot. The turbulent river turned into a trickle, and the valley was very empty and quiet.Everyone walked forward in silence, and walked many miles, before arriving at a deep and secluded lake.

"Be careful, there is something in the lake, Ouyin died here." Ellena reminded in a low voice.

Everyone suddenly slowed down their steps, as if to verify Ellena's words, when Sam, the last person in the team led the pony Bill across a narrow and dirty stream at the northernmost edge of the lake, a low crackling sound suddenly It sounded, as if a big fish jumped out of the lake, disturbing the stagnant lake water.They turned their heads suddenly, and saw ripples spreading out in the distance of the lake, and then a few bubbles came to the surface of the water, and then everything returned to calm.

"Don't look, let's go, the gate of Moria is almost here, we don't have much time." Ellena quickened her pace.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the last ray of sunlight was also covered by clouds.They moved forward against the edge of the cliff, and finally reached the two beautiful holly trees in Ellena's memory.

Elena walked towards the mountain wall and there was a smooth space between the shadows of the two trees.She tried hard to think about what Bahrain and the others had told her, stretched out her hand, groped for a while, and then spoke the Quenya language that made the door visible.The tall stone gate gradually appeared in front of everyone under the moonlight, and the silver lines spread out like spider webs, outlining beautiful patterns one by one.

Unsurprisingly, the emblem of Turin and the sacred tree of the high elves amazed Legolas and Gimli, and both refused to admit that the deterioration of the relationship between the dwarves and the elves was due to their own race.

"My people won't care about dwarves with the same brain and stature." Legolas said with raised eyebrows.

"Dwarves don't know as well as arrogant elves, especially you woodland elves!" Jinli retorted angrily.

Gandalf looked up at the writing on the arc: "This is the gate leading to the throne of Turin, King of Moria, my friend, and you can enter by opening the door. Nawei made the emblem by Celebrimbor of Helin draw."

"My friend, what do you mean you can enter by opening your mouth?" Meri asked.

"Mellon!" Ellena called from the edge of the rock.

The starlight flickered for a moment, then faded, and a huge doorway slowly emerged, which slowly parted from the center and opened outwards, until both doors were fully opened.Inside the door was a staircase that climbed upwards, and it stretched straight into the thick darkness.

Elena blinked at the stunned Meili: "That's what it means."

"Oh, it's so simple! For an old guy like me who was born in a suspicious age, I can't think of it, go in!" Gandalf laughed at himself, and then took the lead on the steps inside the door with a cane. Erlina urged the others to speed up their pace. Perhaps everyone relaxed their movements, and the disgusting monster in the lake did not appear.

Ellena was the last one to walk into the gate of Moria. She turned her head and looked at the way she came, feeling inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad would happen later.

"Let's go." Legolas reminded her, walking up to her.

"En." Ellena withdrew her gaze, and continued to move towards Moria in the darkness.

Maybe she's just thinking too much.
