Start with the Lord of the Rings

The sky turned completely dark.

The cold wind whistled.

Not far from Long Lake, in the Forest of Edge Avenue.

The fire is dim.

When Morgan revealed that he had magical storage equipment and displayed it in public, the extremely surprised expressions of Tariel and Bilbo did not surprise Morgan.

In the eyes of the two of them, as long as the equipment can be related to magic, it seems that it is not too magical.

But when Morgan heard Gandalf's words, he saw the heavy expression and frown on Gandalf's face.

Morgan immediately realized what the other party thought.

Just when he was about to speak.

At this time, looking at Morgan, who was slightly surprised, but clearly guessed by himself, Gandalf asked in a deep voice again: "Answer me, Morgan!"

"Is the magic equipment you own a ring?"

Gandalf continued to ask, and the serious expression on his face immediately attracted the attention of Tariel and Bilbo.

They both looked at Morgan as well.

Realized Gandalf's misunderstanding.

Morgan took a deep breath, and his mind immediately turned at a high speed.

Even if he knew what Gandalf was worried about.

But he can't say it casually, that is, because a lot of "predictive" knowledge he knows is basically a secret among secrets for ordinary people, and it is extremely difficult to obtain and know.

It was Gandalf, who had lived in the entire Middle-earth world for countless years and was extremely knowledgeable, just to verify the Lord of the Rings in Bilbo's hands, he read and consulted a lot of knowledge, and it took a lot of effort to get the verification.

For example, Morgan knew that the ring in Bilbo's hand was the Lord of the Rings.

However, he could not prove, could not explain.

He couldn't use enough knowledge or information to prove why the ring in Bilbo's hand was the most important One Ring.

Just like Morgan does know a lot of things now, but what he knows is only the most superficial information.

He couldn't explain much of what he knew now without enough knowledge and data to back it up.

The Middle-earth world he is now in is not a movie world, let alone a game world, but a very real world.

In this world, no one is more stupid than anyone else.

Just like Gandalf in front of him, Morgan just said a piece of magic equipment he owns, and the other party can quickly think of other things.

Thinking of this, and looking at the serious Gandalf in front of him, Morgan simply nodded: "Yes"

As he spoke, he directly showed that Le had a silver-white dimensional ring on his right finger.

Since it is inconvenient to say more, it is better to show it directly to Gandalf, so as to dispel the suspicion of the other party.

"Is something wrong?"

Morgan raised his left hand slightly, looked at Gandalf and asked.

There was no immediate answer to Morgan.

Gandalf immediately looked closely at the ring on Morgan's hand.

The ring is silvery white. Although it looks brighter than the general silver ring, it is nothing more than that. The ring surface has no carvings or lines, and it looks very ordinary.

It had no resemblance to any of the Lord's Rings he knew.

Seeing this quickly, Gandalf's heart relaxed a lot at once.

It's not that he makes a fuss and is too nervous.

It is the human race, whose resistance to the Lord of the Rings is really indescribable.

Lord Eldron of Rivendell was his friend for many years.

He knew that the High King "Isildur" of Gondor and Arnor had both been corrupted by the Lord of the Rings to foraging minds.

Otherwise, Sauron, the greatest evil existence in the entire Middle-earth world, would have already declared failure and died.

Gandalf glanced calmly at the ring in his hand.

Yes, he now carries Naya, the "Ring of Fire" known as one of the Three Rings of the Elf.

"never mind."

"Just thought of something special"

Gandalf looked at Morgan and shook his head, and continued: "By the way, how long have you had this ring?"

"Also, do you feel any discomfort with it?"

Looking at Gandalf in front of him, his expression really relaxed a lot.

Morgan smiled and started talking nonsense seriously: "It's been a long time, when I left my hometown and just started a wandering career, I got it"

"As for discomfort, no, no discomfort at all."

"It's been on my hand until now"

At this moment, Tariel beside him suddenly asked, "Morgan, I haven't heard you mention it before, where is your hometown?"

"Uh"

"My hometown. It's a far, far away place."

Morgan began to babble about his alleged origins.

Sitting beside Gandalf, Bilbo watched Gandalf's fierce reaction to Morgan's exposure to the magic ring, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

A hand reached into his pocket and kept touching the magic ring in his pocket.

I wondered if I wanted to tell a few people about the existence of the ring.

Only until Morgan finished talking about his hometown and his tragic past.

In the end, Bilbo was not willing to take out the One Ring from his pocket.

By this time, the snow in the pot on the campfire had already melted and started to boil.

Morgan also took out all kinds of fresh food from the dimensional ring space and began to cook today's dinner.

It's getting darker.

When the cold wind whistled outside the forest, the goose feather snow fell again.

The four people sitting around the bonfire held bowls in their hands, drank the steaming vegetable soup, and watched the heavy snow falling outside.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, with such a bowl of hot soup, it seems that no matter how bad the weather is, it doesn't matter.

The night is getting darker.

When the four of them finished dinner, they chatted for a while.

Finally ready to go to sleep.

In such a field, there are several horses not far away, and someone must be vigilant at night.

It was Bilbo who was talking about the night's watchman tonight.

When Gandalf reclined on the blanket and fell asleep not far from the fire.

Morgan and Tariel were also surrounded by blankets, leaning against each other and sleeping under the big tree by the fire.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Bilbo, who was stirring the fire in front of him, looked at the two sleeping across from time to time and couldn't help but feel a faint, unprecedented strange emotion in his heart.

That feeling is called loneliness.

Yes, Bilbo had never thought before that he would one day feel lonely.

In his opinion, he can do too much by himself.

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner alone, read books alone, drink tea alone, and live alone.

Carefree and carefree.

However, looking at Morgan in front of him.

Watching Morgan and Tariel get along these days.

Bilbo couldn't help but feel a little shake in his heart.

Morgan doesn't seem as comfortable now as he used to be.

However, not only did the smile on Morgan's face not diminish at all, it also increased.

"Maybe, you can try it yourself?"

"Find a partner and experience a different life."

"I've lived alone for a long time, and it's time to change."

"Well, I'll try it next time I go back."

"But who should I turn to?"

"In Bree, Marcy of Andrew's family seems to be pretty good, although she is much older than herself, and she is not married."

"Suzanne from Leicester is also very beautiful, although she is younger than herself"

"And Jenny from the Hall family, it seems to be pretty good too."

"Hey, there are so many, which one should I look for?"

"It's a little annoying"

Outside the forest, the wind was howling and snow was blowing.

In the forest, before the bonfire, Bilbo's thoughts were mixed.

Early the next morning.

The sky was just getting brighter.

When Morgan just opened his eyes.

I saw Gandalf sitting in front of the bonfire smoking a cigarette.

Beside him was Bilbo, who was soundly asleep.

On the fire stand, the rich white soup in the pot is steaming hot, and red radishes and green vegetables can be seen tumbling in the soup.

Smell the fragrance wafting from the pot.

Gandalf had apparently been awake for some time.

Morgan was about to get up and just made a move.

Next to him was a large blanket, and the female elf Tariel, who was leaning against her, woke up immediately.

"Morning, you two"

Gandalf looked at Morgan and the Elf who had woken up and laughed.

He is in a good mood.

After his careful reflection last night, he was basically sure that the magic ring in Morgan's hand should not belong to any ring he knew.

Of course, Morgan's ring is exactly what he needs to know after consulting the information.

Generally speaking, as long as it is magical equipment with magical powers, it will definitely leave records and records.

"Related to human beings, ordinary in shape, silver in appearance, especially a magic ring with storage function"

With these characteristics, presumably it would be much easier to investigate.

Gandalf smoked his rod and added wood to the bonfire.

Morgan and Tariel had finished washing up in the snow outside.

When the two returned to the campfire.

Bilbo also woke up at this time.

After breakfast.

Watching the pots, pans and packages in Morgan's hands keep disappearing.

Gandalf exclaimed: "It is so convenient to have such a ring."

Bilbo nodded too, "Yes, especially when you're out and about."

"Morgan doesn't have to worry about his meal at all."

"A great meal can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere as long as it is prepared in advance"

Bilbo spoke sincerely.

The Hobbit has always loved food, and that's what he really thinks.

But even so.

Bilbo also felt that the magic ring in Morgan's hand that could store things was not as good as the magic ring in his hand that could make him invisible.

Although this ring sometimes makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"All right."

"We are together now and will be for a long time to come."

"I have such a magic ring, doesn't it mean that you have the same?"

Morgan said with a smile.

Bilbo nodded again and again: "Indeed, in order to ensure our meal, I think we will take Morgan with us on our long trips in the future."

Hearing Bilbo's rare joke, Gandalf laughed too: "It's a really good idea."

"Haha, if you don't forget to call me, that's fine."

In Morgan's hearty laughter.

After the four of them packed up and put out the bonfire, they set off again.

There was a lot of snow last night.

The Wilderness Road was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The speed of the four of them will definitely be slower today than yesterday.

But it's alright.

This trip was meant to be a trip.

There is no particular time limit.

The journey is naturally more relaxing.

The snow-covered mountains seem to be dressed in new clothes, and they are very beautiful.

The horse galloped on the boulevard on the edge of the long lake.

The mood of the four of them became fresh like the world after the snow.

Five days later.

In a vast woodland wilderness.

A team of four is riding wildly through the wilderness.

When the sky dipped westward.

The sun was starting to get icy cold.

The four-person team finally stopped in front of a huge and majestic mountain.

These four are naturally from the Morgan Tariel Gandalf Bilbo team of four who set off from Lonely Mountain to Rivendell a few days ago.

On the second day after they left Lonely Mountain, they walked out of the huge and extremely long lake.

On the fourth day, we reached the edge of the northern dark jungle.

Today is the sixth day.

They finally stopped in front of the majestic mountain range with no end in sight.

"Gandalf, are we not going to climb these mountains?"

Looking up at the steep mountain ahead, Bilbo asked Gandalf involuntarily.

When the words fell, Morgan and Tariel immediately looked over.

The sky started to get dark.

Look at the towering mountains shrouded in darkness.

Several people's faces were a little heavy.

Because the trees that can be seen in front are all withered and yellow, there is no trace of green, and a bird song can be heard.

The situation in front of them is very similar to what they saw when the expedition team first reached the dark forest.

In the face of Bilbo's question, Gandalf did not answer immediately, but immediately picked up the cigarette stick hanging around his waist, lit it, took a big sip, exhaled thick smoke, and said, "I mentioned it to you before. Pass"

"The mountain range in front of you is the Dark Forest Mountain Range."

"They, like the entire southern dark forest, are shrouded in shadows and polluted."

"But we don't need to go through them."

Gandalf held a cigarette stick in his mouth, turned his head to look at the three behind him and continued: "It's very late, let's find a place to spend the night first, and then get something to eat. I'm already hungry."

Hear Gandalf.

The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Morgan and Bilbo, in particular, were so impressed by their encounters in the Corrupted Mirkwood.

If possible, there is no willingness to walk into the Corrupted Mountains ahead.

It didn't take long.

The four-person team started making a fire under a big tree in the wilderness to prepare dinner.

There is Morgan with a magic ring of storage.

Dinner for four is still plentiful.

When Bilbo drank a bowl of fresh and hot fish soup, he lamented that the fatigue of traveling all day was melted into the soup.

The crowd took it for granted.

Rest next to the foothills of the Corrupted Mirkwood Mountains.

The vigil became even more important.

Looking out into the distance around the moor, eyes twinkling green and red against the firelight of the campfire.

Just when the four horses tied to the surrounding were restlessly paced.

Morgan knew he wouldn't be free tonight.

Early the next morning.

When Gandalf and Tariel Bilbo woke up looking at the large number of wolf carcasses and a few bear carcasses lying about in the distance in the distance, they knew that Morgan had been through a fight last night.

It's just that they didn't notice it at all, and they didn't wake up.

"how did you do it?"

Facing the eyes of the three.

Morgan said calmly: "It's very simple, you just need to shoot them as soon as they appear in your sight."

The team of four hit the road again.

As Gandalf had said, the four-man squad did not traverse the Mirkwood Mountains directly.

Instead, it walked longitudinally toward the depths of the dark jungle mountains.

Go deep into the Corrupted Mountains with a team of four.

All kinds of dangers and troubles followed.

Fortunately, the team is strong, and there are two outstanding archers, Morgan and the female elf Tariel.

There is also the guiding light of the wizard Gandalf.

The four-person team traveled through the corrupted Mirkwood Mountains at great speed.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.
