I am Kili.

Regarding Velodis, in fact, she didn’t impress me too much when I was in Rivendell. There are probably three reasons why I can remember such a person:

First, she is a human in an elf realm;

Second, she knew Gandalf;

Third, Thorin disliked her very much.

As for the reason why Sorin doesn't like Velodis, I don't actually know, anyway, it's hard for Sorin to like someone.

So it was a surprise that she was able to join our team when Thorin disliked Velodis so much.

When we left Rivendell and entered the Misty Mountains, we accidentally fell into a goblin cave. Alas, in normal times, even if I only had a broken scythe, I could hit twenty of this kind of thing alone, but at that time We were surrounded by countless goblins and couldn't move. If Gandalf hadn't appeared in time, the situation would have been a bit dangerous. However, Gandalf didn't appear alone...

"What are you doing here?" Thorin stared at Velodis beside Gandalf, with an ugly expression as if he had eaten a fly.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, Your Majesty." While speaking, Velodis took a sudden step forward, and cut off the head of the goblin closest to her neatly.

This seemed to be a signal, and the battle started immediately. We fought and ran, and the scene was in chaos. Who would bother to ask Velodis what she was doing here.

After escaping from the goblin cave, Thorin was still full of displeasure. "What are you doing with us?" he asked again.

"..." Velodis didn't answer him at once. She looked around and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, where's Bilbo?"

So we looked around for our snitch again, forgetting once again that Velodis was with us.

Just when we thought Bilbo left us in the chaos, he suddenly appeared in front of us again,

Now we all look at Bilbo differently, he's a very sweet friend, but not much of a snitch, and even with Gandalf's reassurances, we're honestly skeptical, but after he showed us After one move, all doubts disappeared, and it turned out that he was really a skilled snitch!

Moreover, Master Baggins is not only powerful, but also has a good heart. His heartfelt words of wanting to help us regain our homeland almost touched all of us present. I think Sorin is the same. Uncomfortable, he immediately looked at Velodis again pretending to be fierce.

Velodis smiled wryly.

However, before Sorin opened his mouth, a group of half-orcs and wolves headed by a tall white orc appeared on the hill not far from us with a wolf howl.

So we started running away desperately again...

We finally had time to catch our breath when the giant eagle appeared to take us to safety, but this time Thorin couldn't question Verodis for the fourth time.

After all, when he was at a disadvantage against the white orc Azog, Velodis and Bilbo were the first to stand between him and Azog.

He even had to thank Velodis reluctantly.Although Sorin has a bad temper, he still has his own principles.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty," said Velodis gently. "I think you should be more grateful to Bilbo than I am. I will help you because I am able to help you, and Bilbo will do everything he can to help you." Stand up, just because of your friendship and loyalty."

This is actually an exaggeration. You have to admit that as a woman, Velodis is very skilled, but she is still far behind Azog. If the giant eagle hadn't arrived in time, she would have almost died.

"Bilbo..." Thorin looked at Bilbo with a stern tone, "What did you do just now? You almost died just now!"

well?I was dumbfounded at the time, this is different from what I said.

But Velodis sighed slightly and smiled helplessly.

"I said you were a burden, didn't I? You can't survive in the wild, we can't tolerate you." Thorin said like a cannonball. To be honest, I felt wronged for Bilbo at that time, but Thorin's tone was very Fast forward, "That was really the worst decision of my life."

"..." I thought my expression at that time must be as silly as Bilbo's being hugged.

Uncle, do you have to pant so much when you speak?

After crossing the Misty Mountains, we continued our journey to the north. Velodis was with us. I have to say that she is indeed a very good companion. She is physically strong and not as delicate as an ordinary woman. She can take jokes and has first-class survival skills in the wild. .

According to both herself and Gandalf, she was a Númenoran who had been traveling as a ranger since she left Rivendell.

If you have to say that Velodis has any shortcomings, it is that after you get along with her for a long time, you will find that she is actually quite good at talking, and you can't feel it when you get along with her. She could say all you wanted to hear, and make you happy, and even Thorin was kinder to her afterward.

It's not until you take a bystander's perspective on the conversations that Velodis has with other people-such as the skin-changing Beorn-that you realize how good she is.

"Bion is a very bad-tempered man, and when he gets angry, he becomes very terrible. Besides, he doesn't like dwarves." So said Gandalf, "but you don't have to worry too much, just keep your mouth shut. Yes. Velodis, you come with me."

Anyway, fifteen minutes later, Gandalf beckoned us to go, and Velodis and Beorn were happily discussing the art of baking honey cakes.

By the way, the cakes these two bake are so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.

Early the next morning, we said goodbye to Beorn and entered Mirkwood.

Seriously, Mirkwood is a loathsome place.

As a dwarf, I'm used to living in a dark and closed environment, but even so, I can't bear the oppression brought by this damn forest, you can hardly feel the air flow here , I have never missed the sun and the breeze so much.

But Velodis is really strange. Although she doesn't like the environment here, she looks so energetic, let alone dejected, as if something great happened. The smile on her face He couldn't stop, even his footsteps were much lighter than usual.

Fili and I looked at each other, both very inexplicable.

"What are you happy about, Velodis?" I couldn't help asking.

"We're in Mirkwood now," she answered me excitedly.

"Yeah, so?" Is there anything exciting about this ghost forest?

"Hmm..." She tilted her head and thought for a while, with a smile still on her face, "Oh, I don't know how to explain it to you. But don't you think this is a good place for encounters?"

"Who did you meet? His Royal Highness?" I said with a little sarcasm.

"Yes!" But she nodded cheerfully.

"..."

I don't think so at all.

This is the first time I truly realized that Velodis is really a naive and silly girl who would believe this kind of fairy tale where the hero and heroine meet in a romantic place and fall in love at first sight.

Although the choice of this romantic place is a bit strange.

Later, before Velodis waited for her prince to come, our group "encountered" hundreds of giant spiders.

At that time, we were sitting under the tree waiting for Bilbo, who climbed to the top of the tree to find out the direction. Velodis was the first to notice the abnormality. Although she seemed to be wandering away after entering Mirkwood, she seemed to be vigilant now. My heart hasn't diminished at all.

"Hey guys," she said softly in the darkness, "move your arms and legs."

I was hungry and tired, and I didn't want to move, but I still lifted my arms lazily, and suddenly found something wrong-we seemed to be entangled by something!

Immediately, we all jumped up vigorously to get rid of the sticky and slippery filaments on our bodies.

"My God, what the hell is this?" I heard Dolly complain.

"Like...spider silk?" Balin replied uncertainly.

As soon as he finished speaking, many giant spiders suddenly appeared from all corners, which startled us.

Thanks to Velodis, if she reminded us even a few tens of seconds late, we would have been unable to move.

But even if we can still fight now, the situation is not much better, there are too many spiders, and we are exhausted one by one, we can only fight and run... Well, this situation seems to have been happening throughout this adventure.

It’s disgraceful to say that I didn’t perform well in this battle. A weapon in my hand was thrown out without paying attention, and I was pinched by three or four spiders at the same time. I could only kick and kick indiscriminately. , struggling in vain.

Velodis saw the situation on my side. She was stunned for a moment, showing annoyed expression, and immediately wanted to rush towards me. However, she just ran a few steps when she was used by the woodland elf who suddenly appeared. The tip of the arrow was blocked back.

"Kili!" I heard her and Fili calling my name anxiously.

At the very moment, an arrow flew from behind me and killed the spider that was biting my trouser leg.

I turned around suddenly and saw a red-brown haired female elf.

She was obviously a warrior with extremely superb fighting skills, every blow was powerful and dexterous, and every swing of her arm could accurately stab the arrow or dagger in her hand into the deadliest part of the spider.

But now I can't care less about admiring her wonderful fight. Right in front of me and behind her, there is a spider rushing towards us with its fangs and claws.

"Throw me your dagger!" I yelled at her. "Quick!"

"You think I'll give you the weapon, dwarf?" I heard her voice calmly. "Then you're dead wrong!"

While talking, she used the dagger in her hand to cut the head of the spider in front of her in half from bottom to top, then turned around gracefully and smoothly, and threw the dagger out without looking, stably It plunged into the spider's eye and pierced its head.

I watched in a daze as the spider fell down without even humming, and then looked back at her.

Having just experienced a battle, she didn't even break out a drop of sweat, she just adjusted her breathing a little bit, her cheeks were flushed, and there was an excited smile on her face.

"..."

Velodis is right, this forest is indeed a good place to meet.
