[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

The group stayed in Rivendell for at least two weeks, and the dwarves received warm reception and considerate care. This may improve the relationship between the elves and dwarves. At least, the dwarves feel pretty good about Rivendell. Didn't even want to leave.

Ellena took Bilbo to know many other elves, and Bilbo was very happy. He listened to the beautiful songs of the elves fascinated, and participated in the work of writing new songs. The elves all appreciated his talent in this area. Full of praise, they taught Bilbo Sindarin, picnicked together by the clear river, sang together in Rivendell's beautiful gardens and historic corridors, and exchanged stories they heard from other places.In fact, the elves are all very interested in the Charr in Bilbo's description, and Ellena specially added this, which makes them, especially those elves who are not yet a hundred years old, yearn for the outside world Every one of them asked Bilbo to visit his house when he returned from his adventures.

However, in the middle-earth continent where the darkness is gradually spreading, travel is already an outdated thing.Without good weapons and a good plan, reckless travelers are likely to become a delicacy for half-orcs.

Elrond was of great help to the dwarves in their journey, and besides supplies, he also made many suggestions to improve the plan.One day before leaving, Elrond was again with the Dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf and Ellena.As one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent people in Middle-earth, Elrond expressed the same opinion as Ellena when he first saw the weapons taken out of the ogre cave, and he had the same opinion on the two most exquisite weapons among them. The origin of the sword gave a detailed introduction: "Thorin, the sword you hold is called the Beast Bite Sword, which means 'the famous sword that slays the Orcs' in the ancient language of Gondolin. Gandalf, your This is the fencing sword Granil, the sword of the king of Gondolin, a weapon specially used to strike the enemy. Take good care of them!"

Ellena couldn't help feeling a little envious when she heard it, but probably only the king of destiny can have these weapons of extraordinary origin, just like the Anduril recast from the holy sword of Nasir, destined to follow Allah Gong overcame the thorns and sat on the throne.

Elrond also saw Elrina's sword, which was rare, and his surprise was so obvious.Ellena asked him about the origin of the sword, but he just stroked the blade silently, hesitated for a long time before saying hesitantly: "I have some ideas, but I'm not sure, if you must know, wait for you to come back Take it to your grandmother to have a look." Then she told Ellena to carry it with her and not to lose it.

Elrond looked carefully at the dwarves' map again, and shook his head, probably because he couldn't understand the dwarves' madness about gold.He held up the map, and the moonlight of the new moon actually penetrated the map.A strange line of writing appeared on it, and Elrond read: "Beside the simple rune of 'Gate five feet high, three can walk side by side', there is also the writing of the moon."

Bilbo, who is very interested in all kinds of writing recently, asked excitedly: "What is the writing of the moon?"

Elena answered him: "Only when the moon shines on these maps, they will appear. The dwarves invented this kind of writing and wrote it with silver pens."

Elrond nodded approvingly, and added: "The more delicate characters of the moon must be displayed in the same season, the same moon shape and the same day when these characters are written. These characters It must have been written long ago on the evening of the summer solstice, under the new moon."

The dwarves and Gandalf were eager to know what was written, and Elrond went on: "When the thrush strikes, stand by the gray rock, and the setting sun, by the afterglow of Turin's day, will Shine on the keyhole."

Sorin said Turin's name excitedly, that was his ancestor.Elena had never seen this great dwarf ancestor himself, but based on his title, she guessed that this dwarf from long ago must have had a very long beard, maybe it could be dragged all the way to the ground?That must have looked like fun.

Elrond, who was not very clear about the customs of the dwarves, frowned and asked, "When is the day of Turin?"

"It's New Year's Day of the Dwarves' New Year," Thorin said, looking a bit distressed, "it's the first day of the last month of autumn and winter, when the last round of autumn moon and sun will appear in the sky together, but since this era, Our technology to accurately predict this day is lost."

In other words, you need to try your luck, Ellena pouted, the dwarf ancestor who left clues on the map must have never thought that his descendants would encounter this kind of problem, or he believed too much that the descendants would be good luck?

After talking about the business, everyone walked to the water's edge together. The elves were dancing and singing under the moonlight on the eve of the summer solstice. Their long hair shone with soft light, which was as beautiful as the flowing water of the Silver River.Their clear laughter rippled in the night, carefree and without worries.

This is the last shelter in Middle-earth. The reputation of Imla Cui has been passed down for an era. Ellena stared deeply at her home, feeling sad in her heart. Trees, rivers, small bridges, corridors, everything Everything she loves.Yet her heart told her she must go, and Ellena sighed, suddenly able to understand why Bilbo was always talking about Bag End, because that was home, a unique place.

The next day is the summer solstice, the sun rises very early, the weather is clear, the sky is like a blue lake, and like a flawless sapphire.Elena will leave with the dwarves for Mirkwood, the domain of Thranduil King of the Woodlands, who chose to stand by when the Lonely Mountain was attacked by the dragon Smaug.There is no doubt that the dwarves did not like or even hated the Elven King at all.

Before leaving, Elleon gave Ellena a letter and asked her to pass it to Thranduil of Mirkwood. Maybe Thranduil could make things less difficult for the dwarves for Elrond's sake. People can suppress their hot temper in front of friends.However, Elena felt that the possibility of them not quarreling was extremely slim, and the effect of this letter might not be as good as a box of gold.

Thinking of the unpredictable journey, Ellena couldn't help but shook her head. Her vague memory only told her a possibility of fate, and even a small difference would completely deviate the trajectory of fate. It may be better for everyone to change.

Elena smiled, even if they were still arrested, apart from a little embarrassment, there was actually no loss. The soft-hearted and smart Bilbo would rescue them, provided that he got the something.

Ellena turned her head to look at the hobbit who was still reluctant to part with Rivendell. He was saying goodbye to several elf friends in the Sindarin language he had just learned, and he knew nothing about the miserable fate of toil that was coming. A trace of sympathy flashed in Ellena's eyes. This is probably the hard work for those who can?

No matter what thoughts and emotions Ellena had about the journey ahead, the group of people rode away with the blessings of everyone, and headed for the depths of the Misty Mountains. Except for the destination, everything was still unknown.

The author has something to say:

Finally, the entanglement is over. It's hard to imagine what reason Ellena will go with the dwarves--
