Start with the Lord of the Rings

The night got darker.

The crescent moon on the horizon did not know what was hidden in the dark clouds.

The central square of River Valley Town Hall became more and more lively.

Pile of bonfires are exuberant.

The whole square is bright and bright.

The soup is boiling and rolling in the pot.

Roasted meat on the grill is fragrant.

Plus a lot of booze.

Let the surviving residents of Long Lake Town, whose homes were destroyed by the dragon not long ago, and then suffered the terrifying orc invasion war, really relax once.

You must know that there is a lack of entertainment in this world.

Not to mention the residents at the bottom.

In this way, you can eat barbecue so much, and there are too few opportunities to drink wine.

Especially after going through all kinds of disasters and twists and turns.

Therefore, it is easy to see many women eating and drinking in the square and suddenly crying.

Crying choked, sad.

But no one was much comforted, because everyone around was like that.

After the disaster of the dragon in Changhu Town and the calamity of the Orc invasion war, the surviving residents suffered death in almost every home.

At least one or two, or more, the whole family will die.

No one is better off than anyone else.

As for the whole family to survive, there are also, but that is too little.

Bud, who was elected as the interim mayor, also said that the disaster is over.

From now on, you will be able to live your life as peacefully as before.

The residents still trust and love Bud very much.

It rained and it was fine.

At such times, crying may not be all because of sadness.

Possibly venting.

Because only the pain is forgotten as soon as possible.

to usher in a better tomorrow.

When the feast was going on in the Town Hall Square, it was noisy and crowded.

on the streets of River Valley.

A dwarf chariot was driving at a constant speed on the main street of River Valley Town, heading towards the depths of River Valley Town.

"Look, these humans in River Valley Town have only a small number of patrols, and no one else can see them. The feast must have begun."

"I think so too, did you hear it, it's so noisy in front of you"

"Bahrain was right"

"Humanity must have been feasting. I can smell the aroma. It's the smell of grilled sausages. It can't be wrong!"

"There is also the smell of wine. This smell is very familiar. It must be the wine of those wood elves, the same as what we drank in Rivendell before!"

"The wine of the elves? Could it be that the elves are also having a feast with the humans?"

"Impossible, there are so many elf soldiers out there cleaning the battlefield."

"What's more, even if they hold a feast, they will only return to the dark jungle to hold it."

"I heard from the teacher that the wood elves sent food and wine to humans not long ago."

"Don't worry about how the wine came, I can't wait."

"Don't talk about it, Pang Bo is about to drool, haha"

The dwarves of the expedition team talked a lot.

With Kili, who had been here during the day, guiding the way, the chariot moved towards the center of the city hall at a constant speed.

As the distance keeps getting closer.

The lively noise from the Town Hall Square also grew louder.

The aroma of fresh soup and the aroma of barbecue kept coming.

The thirsty dwarf couldn't bear it any longer.

Finally, when the chariot driven by Bahrain Whitebeard drove into the street next to the Town Hall Square.

The eyes of the dwarves lit up when they saw the feast in the square.

"Cough cough."

Balin couldn't help coughing when he saw a group of dwarves beside him starving.

"Let's go."

Seeing that the group of partners have restrained a lot, Balin said and stepped forward, taking the lead in walking forward.

For the arrival of the dwarves.

Residents on the edge of the square soon found out.

The human inhabitants at this time did not have a good sense of these dwarves who were obviously from the Lonely Mountain.

Almost all of them knew that it was these dwarves who had awakened the dragon Smaug, who had destroyed their homeland not long ago.

Also, when their mayor, Bard, went to the Lonely Mountain to ask for the treasure that the King under the Mountain had promised, he was turned down.

Let them have to organize militia and elves to ask for it together.

Had it not been for the invasion of stronger and more evil orcs.

Humans and elves were probably at war with the dwarves of Lonely Mountain at this time.

For these reasons, it would be hell if the surviving residents of Riverdale had a good attitude towards these dwarves from Lonely Mountain.

Immediately in the square, some humans looked at the dwarves with unfriendly eyes.

Even some humans who drank a lot watched the dwarves of the expedition team swear.

"There is something wrong with these human eyes."

"Damn, I heard those guys seem to be scolding us!"

"Aren't we getting drunk?"

"Damn, when are you still thinking about drinking?"

"What's the matter, how can they be hostile to us, it's those damned orcs who attacked them, not us?"

"The words that those humans said are too ugly, I can't bear it anymore!"

"Don't be impulsive, Dwarin!"

"Don't be impulsive, it's not their fault!"

"It was us, it was Thorin who broke his promise first."

"We thought a little bit before"

"But Thorin is awake now."

"Believe that he will fulfill his promises to these humans."

"Don't mess around, we're here to pick up Fili, and invite Morgan and them by the way."

"Follow me, don't care what the humans say."

"We'll leave when we're done."

White-bearded Balin said in a deep voice to the companions behind him, but there was an extremely bright smile on the faces of all the humans around the front.

No matter how angry a human being, looking at a kindly smiling dwarf old man like Bahrain, it would not be so good.

Balin also deserves to be the most charismatic and communicative of the dwarves in the expedition.

A group of dwarves walked behind Bahrain to the depths of the Town Hall Square.

corner of the square.

At the moment when a group of dwarves in Lonely Mountain appeared in the square.

There were already temporary militiamen armed with weapons to report to Bud.

The militiamen left soon after reporting.

"Are the dwarves here?"

The sensitive Bilbo looked at Bud and asked immediately, he just heard what the human and Bud said.

"Yes, it should be to pick up the seriously injured dwarf."

Bud nodded and stood up.

Gandalf heard this and stood up.

He was tall, got up and soon saw a group of dwarves slowly moving in the center of the square.

"It's Bahrain and Kili."

Gandalf spoke, and Bud had gone out.

Gandalf followed immediately.

Bilbo immediately followed.

The female elf Tariel, who was watching the bonfire intently, also came to her senses.

Glancing at the three who walked away, they then looked again at the royal tent in the open-air garden in the distance.

This time, it just happened to see Morgan's figure walking out of the king's tent.

Tariel looked happy and stood up immediately.

But she felt a little less reserved, and she immediately sat down again.

"Sister Tariel, the fish soup will be cold if you don't drink it."

Little Tilda, who was sitting next to him, stared at the amber cute eyes and looked at Tariel who was acting strangely and said suddenly.

Being called sister by the little human girl in front of her, Tariel felt better. Looking at the cute human cub in front of her, she smiled and said, "It's not cold yet, look, it's still steaming."

Tariel raised the bowl in her hand, and sure enough, because she had been leaning against the fire, the fish soup in her bowl was still steaming.

After speaking, Tariel took a sip from the bowl.

Tilda seemed to be interested in this beautiful elf sister in front of her. After looking at him for a while, she suddenly said again, "Who is Sister Tariel waiting for?"

Tilda's crisp voice fell, and Tariel's face was slightly taken aback: "I'm so obvious?"

Just before she could speak, Tilda's sister Xue Ge approached Tilda and said softly, "Sister Tariel is waiting for Uncle Morgan."

As soon as Xue Ge finished speaking, Tilda looked at her sister and asked, "Does Sister Tariel like Uncle Morgan?"

Xue Ge was taken aback by her sister's question, of course.

It's just that she was a little embarrassed to speak, ignored Tilda, and drank the fish soup on her own.

Little Tilda, who didn't get an answer from her sister, didn't know what it meant to give up. She immediately looked at the female elf opposite and asked, "Does Sister Tariel like Uncle Morgan?"

Such words came out of the mouth of the cute human girl in front of her, and Tariel, who was drinking soup, choked immediately.

Brother Bane and sister Xue Ge, who were still sitting by the bonfire, immediately looked at Tilda and found that her sister seemed to be talking a little bit today.

Tariel, who was relieved, was about to speak, when he heard the little girl in front of him continue to say, "Then what if I like Uncle Morgan too?"

Tilda's voice fell, and Baan and Snow Song immediately laughed.

Tariel also smiled. She didn't expect how popular Morgan was, so she looked at the cute girl in front of her and smiled: "It's okay, we can like him together."

Tariel said with a smile, and some depression in his heart had been swept away at this time.

Morgan had introduced it for her, and she knew that the three in front of her were the children of Human Bud, who was already the mayor of Riverdale.

"But then, will Uncle Morgan be angry, I think he likes Sister Tariel very much?"

When Tilda heard Tariel's words, she looked happy at first, but soon seemed to think of something, and immediately said worriedly.

Hearing this, Tariel was even happier. She smiled and said, "No, not just the two of us."

"So, Tilda can't let other people like him in the future."

With Tariel's permission, Tilda immediately smiled and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

"This is my sister Tariel's secret."

Tilda said with a bright smile, and Tariel nodded with a smile: "Well, this is a secret between us."

"You can't tell anyone else."

"Uh-huh."

The few in front of the bonfire were amused by Tilda and laughed.

Center of the square.

Bud, with Gandalf and Bilbo, had just met the dwarves of Balin.

Morgan, who walked out of the elf king's tent, saw this scene from a distance.

Walk quickly to the crowd.

Kili, who was looking around among the dwarves, saw Morgan's arrival, and immediately bowed slightly and said, "Teacher."

Morgan smiled and nodded.

At this time, Balin, who was talking to Gandalf, saw Morgan approaching, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Morgan, our carnival banquet will be held in the Lonely Mountain tomorrow night, you must come."

"Is there no limit on the number of people?"

Guessing the purpose of the dwarves in front of him, Morgan said with a smile.

Hearing Morgan's unfamiliar tone, Balin laughed even more happily, and he immediately said, "Of course not, the more the better."

Morgan nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."

"Are you here to pick up Fili?"

Crossing the crowd and seeing the dwarf chariots on the street outside the square, Morgan looked at Barin and said.

"right"

Balin nodded: "Dyne's army has an accompanying pharmacist, which can make Felix better faster."

"That's good"

"I've seen Felix before, and the situation is fairly stable, come with me."

Morgan nodded, then turned and walked back.

A group of people also heard the conversation between Morgan and Bahrain, and immediately followed.

When walking all the way to the corner of the square, not far from the bonfires where Tariel is located.

Morgan spoke to Bahrain behind him, then strode forward, and saw the three children of Bard and Tariel smiling happily.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's all so happy."

"Uncle Morgan."

"Uncle Morgan."

Seeing Morgan's arrival, both Tilda and Baan Snow Song immediately stood up and shouted.

"All sit down"

Signaling the three siblings to sit down, Morgan walked over to Tariel and said softly, "Lord Thranduil is all right."

"Go, go and apologize to him."

"Your fellow clan members must have missed you for a long time."

"Go and meet them."

Morgan said this gently, and when he looked up, he found that Tariel, who was still smiling just now, looked at himself with red eyes.

Looking at Tariel, who has always been strong and icy, showed intense emotions, revealing such a weak appearance.

Morgan couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

It seems that being expelled from the clan by Thranduil hit her harder than she thought.

It seems that he knows more about Tariel in front of him.

Morgan opened his hands and embraced the female elf in his arms.

This time, Morgan didn't feel Tariel's resistance in his arms, nor was he stiff, but his body was shaking slightly.

Tariel cried.

At this moment, Morgan didn't speak, just held her quietly.

But Tariel obviously knew that a group of people not far away were still waiting for Morgan.

So he quickly broke free from Morgan's embrace.

Morgan wiped away tears for Tariel, whose crying eyes were red, and then smiled: "Go, I'll wait for you here in a while."

Tariel nodded, glanced at Morgan, then turned and walked towards the open-air garden in the distance.

Morgan watched Tariel leave, then walked to the waiting crowd.

Soon.

When a group of dwarves carried Fili stretchers to the town hall square.

The bonfire feast on the square has entered a warm period at this time. Not only is it not deserted at all, but it becomes more and more lively and noisy.

"You really don't consider joining our banquet?"

Morgan sent a group of dwarves to the chariot and looked at Balin the Whitebeard and asked again.

It's just that Balin ignored the dwarves' scorching gazes, ignoring the Gloria Pangboffers beside him. He smiled and replied to Morgan, "Not today."

"You know, there's a lot more to prepare for tomorrow's feast, and they're all waiting for us."

"Let's have a good drink tomorrow"

Hearing what Bahrain said, Morgan did not persuade him any more. He smiled and said, "See you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow, Morgan."

Bahrain drove away in a chariot.

Not only took away the injured Felix.

It also took away a whole carload of complaints from other dwarves.

Morgan smiled and looked away.

Suddenly aware of the coldness on his face, he raised his head, only to find snowflakes floating in the night sky.

Just such a winter night.

The snowflakes didn't make him feel cold, but warmer.
