Chapter 112 Two hundred years

"call"

"finally reached."

“So spectacular”

"Is this the Lonely Mountain?"

"This is indeed the Lonely Mountain, but it's still a little bit far away."

"Let's go, we've already reached Lonely Mountain, is it still a short distance away?"

After getting off the ferry, everyone in the expedition team looked up at the towering mountains in front of them and sighed.

"It's already morning, and we have to find the secret door into the mountain before sunset today."

"Let's go!"

Thorin Oak Shield said.

The crowd moved on.

The majestic and majestic mountains of thousands of meters.

Snow is scattered all over the mountain road.

The weather is getting colder.

Fortunately, everyone was wearing the exquisite and thick equipment sent by the mayor of Changhu Town.

Otherwise, if the original clothes before.

Everyone will be punished.

Lonely Mountain was the first time for most members of the expedition.

But they are no strangers to Thorin Oakenshield, Balin the Whitebeard, and Dwarin.

With Bahrain leading the way.

The crowd went all the way up the path at the foot of the Lonely Mountain.

Time passed slowly.

Near noon.

The expedition team finally climbed from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the lonely mountain.

The further up you go, the colder it gets.

The road also started to get a lot smoother.

Only at the base of the mountain, you can still see a lot of weeds and thorns that are still stubbornly swaying their soft bodies in the late autumn.

At this time, when we reached the middle, we could only see all kinds of strange rocks and gravel all over the ground, as well as some black wood that had been weathered and died long ago.

“It's so quiet here”

Bilbo looked at everything in front of him, suddenly stopped and said.

"Yes, not a single bird chirping."

"I can't see any living creatures either"

"There's something wrong with this mountain."

"Is it because of the snow?"

"of course not."

Hearing Bilbo's words, the other dwarves behind him also spoke up.

"It wasn't like this before."

At this moment, the white-bearded dwarf Balin walked up to Bilbo and smiled with his hands on his waist.

"There, and there, it used to be all trees, forests."

Balin said, extending his finger to Bilbo and continuing: "At that time, the forest was full of various animals, and flocks of various birds were flying on the branches."

"But when Smaug the dragon came, everything changed."

Bahrain sighed, his tone full of nostalgia.

"Look, what's over there?"

At this time, Feili, who was standing in front, stood on a boulder and pointed to the distance and shouted to everyone behind him.

Hearing Feili's voice, the members of the expedition immediately rushed forward.

Morgan also walked over quickly.

Then they saw a huge valley in front of them. In the valley in the distance, a huge city appeared in front of everyone.

City walls, bell towers, tall buildings, squares, and continuous housing complexes.

The city in sight is far larger than the Changhu Town that everyone has seen and stayed in before.

Although many of the buildings in the city were in a state of collapse and abandonment at this time, there was not a trace of people in sight.

"Where is that place?"

Kili jumped on the boulder where Fili was located, looked at the huge abandoned city in the distance and asked.

"That's Riverdale, what used to be Riverdale."

"It's a pity that there are only ruins left now."

Balin stepped forward and said with emotion: "It was only after the evil dragon Smaug raged that it became what we see now."

Balin shook his head.

Looking at the majestic ruins of the city in sight, Morgan thought that everyone was not far from the Lonely Mountain.

River Valley Town is very close to Lonely Mountain.

Since River Valley Town can be seen here, it is naturally not far from the Kingdom under the Mountain.

"Come on, we must find the secret door before sunset."

"Come this way, come with me!"

Thorin Oak Shield retracted his gaze, said something to the crowd, and then quickly turned around and walked down.

Yes, it is now downhill.

The way down the mountain is much better.

The autumn sun in the sky gradually slanted westward.

Noon passed quickly, approaching noon.

The expedition team passed through the ruins of River Valley Town and arrived at the location of the Lonely Mountain Secret Gate marked on the map.

This is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

As soon as everyone arrived, they were immediately instructed by Thorin Oak Shield to spread out and look for them.

Morgan recalled the picture in the memory of the plot, raised his head and tried his best to look at the tall mountains around him, but he couldn't find anything.

"Did you find it?"

At this time, the voice of Thorin Oak Shield came from the valley ahead.

"No, nothing!"

Grumpy Godvarin was the first to respond loudly.

"No, I didn't see it here."

"I didn't find it either"

The voices of the dwarves came one after another.

Thorin Oakenshield frowned, and had to open the map in his hand again to take a closer look.

Morgan stepped on the gravel mountain road under his feet and walked deep ahead.

"This way!"

"Look over here!"

At this moment, Bilbo's shout came suddenly from the other direction.

Morgan was surprised, and remembered the secret door that Bilbo first discovered in the plot.

Is it still him.

He turned his head to look, and found that the mountain on Bilbo's side looked similar to the surrounding mountains from this side, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual.

But since the other party called out, he must have discovered it.

Morgan, like the other dwarves, strode in the direction of Bilbo.

Just caring about when Morgan, who couldn't look any different, hurried to Bilbo's side.

He saw it.

Just above the top of his head where he is now, the mountain is carved into the appearance of a giant dwarf with a warhammer.

On the body of the dwarf stone statue, there is a stone staircase winding upwards.

That's it.

Morgan looked at the stone statue sandwiched between the huge mountains on both sides in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "The memory image in my mind can't be faster than Bilbo as the protagonist."

Thorin Oak Shield rushed over, looking at the stone stairs above, the original heavy expression on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by a face full of undisguised joy.

"You have a good eye, Mr. Baggins."

Thorin Oakenshield patted Bilbo on the shoulder, panting and laughing.

Morgan suddenly found out.

Thorin Oakenshield's name for Bilbo seems to have always been more polite, and it is also obvious that Bilbo's surname is "Baggins".

"Walk!"

Having found the location of the secret door, Thorin Oak Shield said loudly, and he was the first to quickly run towards the stone stairs.

A group of dwarves also followed closely behind them with faces full of joy.

"Let's go."

Morgan reached out and patted Bilbo on the shoulder and stepped forward.

Bilbo quickly followed.

When the members of the expedition climbed the steep stone steps, panting, to the small clearing beside the giant dwarf statue at the end of the steps.

The last rays of autumn sunlight are shining on this clearing.

Sorin Oak Shield stepped forward quickly, looking at the stone wall of the open space full of sunlight and rejoicing: "The secret gate must be here!"

After speaking, he turned his head, took out the huge key that Gandalf gave him, and looked at the expedition members behind him and laughed: "Let those who laughed at us remember this day forever!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"yeah."

The voice fell, and all the dwarves cheered.

Bilbo laughed too.

Morgan also looked on with a smile on his face.

Although I know there will be some twists and turns in finding the keyhole.

But it was all the way from Hobbiton in the Shire to get here.

Every member of the expedition team is rare and amazing.

This naturally includes himself.

"Then, it means that there should be a keyhole on this stone wall."

The irritable Godvarin was the most anxious, and immediately dropped the package in his hand, walked quickly to the stone wall illuminated by the setting sun, and shouted.

Seeing Dwarin step forward, the other dwarves, including Thorin Oakenshield, all stepped aside.

For fear of blocking the sun.

Watching Devalin widen his eyes on the stone wall and grope with his hands and eyes.

Because there was a memory plot in his mind, Morgan was intrigued by the keyhole that only appeared in the moonlight, so he put down the package in his hand and said, "I will also help you find it."

He strode to the stone wall full of sunset light.

Looking at the fairly flat stone wall, Morgan tried his best to recall the plot scene in his memory, and used his hands and eyes to find it on the stone wall.

It's just that no matter how much he looks for it, let alone the keyhole hidden in the dark crevice in the memory plot.

In the gap like a depression, there is not a single stone wall in front of him.

The stone wall in front of me is just that big.

Morgan fumbled for a while, searching every inch of the stone wall in front of him, and realized that the keyhole in his memory did not exist on the stone wall in front of him.

Morgan consciously stepped aside and shook his head at Thorin Oakenshield and Balin who were looking over.

The sun began to slowly set in the sky.

Watching the sun begin to fade, the grumpy Godvarin began to get a little grumpy.

Using both hands and feet, he kept scolding something in his mouth.

Seeing the sunlight disappearing, Thorin Oakshield's expression became a little anxious.

"Nolly."

Thorin Oakenshield just remembered Nori, the dwarf with the most tricks, and when he opened his mouth, he realized that Nori was no longer there.

It doesn't feel like the sun is hanging in the sky.

Once you start going down the mountain, the speed of disappearance seems to be like turning on the accelerator.

Looking at the sunset halfway down the horizon.

Thorin Oakshield couldn't wait, and immediately strode to the stone wall, first staring at the stone wall with wide eyes.

Then, Thorin Oakenshield, who couldn't see anything, stepped aside, looking eagerly at the fast-falling sunset in the distance, and shouted to the dwarves, "Quick, go up, and destroy it!"

A group of dwarves standing beside them immediately waved their weapons and stepped forward, slashing at the stone wall.

It's just how hard the stone walls that can be used to carve giant stone statues can be, not to mention the hidden mechanisms behind them.

There was a chaotic sound of ping ping pong pong, and the sparks were chopped up and flew into the air.

The stone wall did not change at all.

Balin shook his head when he saw it, and said solemnly, "The door has a powerful mana seal that can never be opened with brute force."

Hearing Balin's words, the dwarves who were slashing all had to stop.

Thorin Oak Shield watched the setting sun continue to fall on the horizon in the distance.

Finally, the red sun on the side of the day completely fell into the horizon, and the last brilliance disappeared.

"Do not"

Thorin Oakenshield smashed his fists and yelled before rushing up to the stone wall.

The surrounding expedition team all looked at the gaffe Sorin Oakenshield, and all of them looked ugly.

So does Morgan.

Of course, he pretended.

After a while, Thorin Oakenshield turned around, took out the map on his body and spread it out again, looking at the words of the moon that had been deciphered above, and read in a trembling voice: "The afterglow of the Turin Sun will shine. on the keyhole."

"That's what it says above."

Thorin Oak Shield raised his head, looked at the people in front of him with extreme disappointment and continued: "What did we miss?"

"What did we miss, Bahrain?"

Thorin Oakenshield said and walked to Balin, the wisest white-bearded dwarf, and asked with a trembling voice.

Bahrain shook his head in pain: "The sunlight we missed."

"We missed our only chance."

Balin looked at Sorin. Oak Shield and said softly, "I'm powerless."

Hearing this, Morgan did not intend to remain silent any longer.

He took a few steps forward, picked up the map thrown by Thorin Oak Shield on the ground, and looked at it.

Soon, he said softly: "When the thrush, standing beside the grey rock, began to beat"

"I didn't see the thrush when the sun was shining just now, did you see it?"

Morgan's voice fell, and the surrounding dwarves who were very disappointed and ready to leave immediately stopped.

Thorin Oakenshield suddenly looked at Morgan, and a hint of color seemed to rise in his extremely disappointed eyes.

"You didn't see it, did you?"

"I didn't see it, what about you?"

"I do not have either."

"No, let alone the thrush, I haven't even seen bird shit."

"."

A group of dwarves spoke immediately.

Morgan didn't care, and read the words of the moon on the map again: "The sunset will fall on the keyhole with the last rays of the Turin sun."

"I remember you said that the day of Turin is the new year of the dwarves, that is the day when the last moon of autumn and the first sun of winter meet in the air at the same time?"

Morgan finished reading the secret language on the map, looked up at Bahrain and asked.

Balin nodded and said, "You remember right."

Seeing that Morgan seemed to have discovered something, the hope in Thorin Oakenshield's eyes seemed to rise again.

Morgan looked at the crowd and continued, "Since we couldn't find the keyhole under the sunlight, and we didn't see the thrush, does that mean that the last glow in the secret language doesn't refer to sunlight?"

Morgan said and looked at Bahrain again.

This time, Balin pondered, nodded and said, "You can say that."

Morgan smiled: "Then wait for the moonlight. Maybe the moonlight can surprise us."

Hearing Morgan say this, the dwarves finally understood something.

Especially the "appearance of the thrush" in the secret words that Morgan emphasized, which immediately rekindled hope in the hearts of the dwarves.

Thorin Oakenshield nodded again and again. After listening to Morgan's words, his eyes almost lit up. He nodded quickly and said, "Then listen to Morgan, let's wait."

"call"

He let out a long sigh and smiled at the nervousness on the faces of the dwarves.

In fact, as long as you are careful enough, the details of the thrush can be found.

However, Thorin Oakenshield was too eager, too impatient to find the secret door.

So much so that he ignored the details.

But no one else is to blame.

You must know that when the Eldron Elf Lord interprets the ciphertext of the map in Rivendell, the only people present were Thorin Oakenshield, Balin, Gandalf, Bilbo and Morgan.

And now Gandalf is not there.

The map has been kept by Thorin Oakenshield himself, and no one can touch it.

Just now Thorin Oakenshield was the first to vent his disappointment.

Bahrain and Bilbo, who knew something, were naturally easily influenced by his emotions.

As for the other dwarves, they knew nothing about the secret language.

This should be the reason why Thorin Oakenshield failed to find out what happened before.

Now that Morgan pointed it out, Sorin himself has already reacted.

The Day of Turin of the Dwarves is indeed magical.

Not long after sunset, the sky quickly dimmed.

Don't make people wait too long.

A crescent moon quietly appeared in the sky.

The moonlight shone silently on the earth.

A hazy light naturally shone toward this mountain wall.

This made the members of the expedition who were chewing on the jerky sent by Changhu Town immediately stood up excitedly.

At this time, a small thrush was not afraid of the crowd, and flew straight to the side of the stone wall with a snail in its mouth and started knocking.

The dwarves who found this scene were even more excited. They were about to say something loudly, but Thorin Oakenshield stared at him with a look, and whispered, "Don't disturb that bird."

At this time, Morgan, who had the quickest response, had already walked to the stone wall again.

Looking at the hazy moonlight shining on the stone wall, a dark stone crack actually appeared on the stone wall.

And with the illumination of the moonlight, the keyhole hidden in the dark stone crevice was finally exposed.

"Sorin!"

Morgan let out a low growl immediately.

Thorin Oak Shield stepped forward immediately with the key in hand, looked at the clear keyhole on the stone wall, and inserted the key excitedly.

Click, the key was inserted into the cave smoothly.

Thorin Oakshield slowly turned the key.

"click"

A mechanical sound immediately came out from behind the stone wall.

The faces of the dwarves behind them were full of joy.

Soon, the key turned its head, and the mechanical sound stopped.

Thorin Oak Shield turned around and glanced at the excited and expectant crowd behind him, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone wall in front of him, and pushed it hard.

"boom"

It was accompanied by a flurry of dust and a muffled sound.

A dark secret door that has been sealed with dust for more than two hundred years.

It suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone.
