Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

Near the Anduin Valley, Carr Rock.

This was the farthest place the eagles were willing to fly to after consultation. They gently put everyone down and flew back to the eagle's nest.

Levi didn't know what happened when he was away, but everyone looked intact, just a little tired.

"Bilbo, I once said that there is no place for you among us... That was the biggest mistake of my life."

Thorin hugged Bilbo tightly.

"What happened?" Levi asked Gandalf in a low voice.

"Thorin was besieged by wargs and almost died in the wolf's mouth. Bilbo rushed over to save him."

"I see."

Luck may be a coincidence, but courage must be inevitable.

Levi looked at Bilbo and glanced at his pocket again.

This thing...

Maybe Bilbo holding it is also part of the great movement, but no one is born to suffer, and no one must be tortured.

However, it must be said that Bilbo's magic resistance is really strong. He was bewitched by the ring for a full sixty years and could give it up on his own initiative.

If there is a way, it is not necessary to watch Bilbo being corrupted. Even if the problem of the slow corruption of the mind cannot be solved, it can be solved from the root.

However, in this case, there will be a lot to do after this trip to the Lonely Mountain.

After a short rest, the group walked down from the Carr Rock and continued to move towards the Lonely Mountain.

A few days later, on the other side of the valley, Gandalf stood on a high place, looking at the wargs and orcs everywhere in the jungle, on the plains and on both sides of the river, frowning.

"They are almost all out, I dare say that there are thousands of scouts searching for us." A dwarf shouted below.

"It's almost out in full force!"

Old Gandalf frowned again when he heard this. His eyebrows have been in trouble these days.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a roar of a beast suddenly came from above, and everyone immediately picked up their weapons, only to see a giant bear looking down with bared teeth.

"Oh my god, it's so big, it's bigger than any bear I've ever seen!" A dwarf said tremblingly.

Plop!

The giant bear pounced down suddenly, and Levi pretended to draw his sword.

"Wait!" Gandalf hurriedly stopped it and stood between Levi and the giant bear.

"Beorn, I know it's you, calm down, I'm Gandalf the Grey, a companion of Radagast the Brown, and I know him very well."

The giant bear stared at Gandalf, making his scalp numb.

After a while, it took two steps back and stopped baring its teeth. Its huge body gradually shrank, its hair shrank, and its hands and feet became thinner - it turned into a human who was more than two meters tall.

The dwarves were stunned and rubbed their eyes, thinking they were dreaming.

"This is the skin-changing tribe, they are born with the magic of transforming into beasts."

Gandalf explained.

"Wizards, humans, halflings, and greedy dwarves... What are you doing near my territory?"

Beorn looked down at everyone from a high position. When he saw Levi and Bilbo, his mood was relatively stable, but when his eyes swept over the dwarves, his brows frowned.

"We have no ill intentions, we are just passing by." Gandalf explained.

The fate of the skin-changers is very tragic. They were forced out of the mountains by the Orcs and had to live in the valley. Most of the few remaining people were captured and tortured to death by the Orcs.

Now there is probably only Beorn left in the skin-changers. Gandalf doesn't want him to fight with Levi, so as not to make the skin-changers extinct.

"Okay, I believe you."

Beorn nodded. Although he didn't like dwarves and didn't like strangers very much, if they were companions in brown robes, he could still trust them.

Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the skin-changers were saved.

"What are you doing here?" Gandalf asked again.

"I'm avoiding the army of Orcs. They've been mad these past few days, wandering around. Even I don't dare to pass through them."

Beorn shook his head, also a little worried.

"The last time I saw so many Orcs was when they tried to expand to the north of the valley, but now there's no one living there, and there's nothing to plunder. I really can't figure out why they're out this time."

"Uh, this..." Gandalf glanced at Levi and smiled awkwardly.

Levi spread his hands.

"This is not important. The main thing is that we have a common enemy, and we can deal with them together. In fact, we need some help, which will allow us to better deal with the Orcs..."

Beorn was silent for a while, looked at Gandalf, and then looked at the dwarves. Finally, his eyes stayed on Levi for a long time before he slowly nodded.

"The enemies of the Orcs are my allies. Well, I can help you. I know a way to avoid the sight of the Orcs. You can leave from there during the day."

"I will keep watch for you."

That night, under the moonlight, a giant bear stood on the rock, looking around vigilantly.

In the house, the group ate and drank well and slept soundly.

In the distance, an Orc reported.

"Chief, we found a giant bear on the rock. Do you want to..."

Although the bear looked strong, it didn't seem that strong in comparison. It could be dealt with by bringing a few more people.

"Don't pay attention to it, go around it, there's no need to cause trouble for yourself."

A small leader of the Orc scouts gave an order: "Our target is the group of dwarves, and that damned one..."

Speaking of this, the scout leader took a deep breath and shuddered when he thought of that figure.

"If you meet him, don't fight him directly, come back to gather the army, and then we will kill him!"

"Yes."

The night passed quickly.

After dawn, Beorn took out the honey bread and drinks he made to entertain everyone, and then provided horses and pointed out the route, so that the group could leave quickly.

At the same time.

The wandering Orcs failed to find the target they wanted. After a few days, for various reasons, they gradually retreated and temporarily withdrew from this plain.

On this day, at the Gate of the Forest, which is also the entrance to the Kingdom of Mirkwood, all the horses provided by Beorn were released, leaving only one led by Gandalf.

"This place has been tainted by the minions of evil, and the situation doesn't look good..."

"Levi, can you please do me a favor?"

"What?"

Gandalf came closer and whispered to Levi with his back to the crowd: "I'm going to confirm one thing these days. Do you know the 'Ringwraiths'?"

"I know a little. They are servants of Sauron."

Shock!

A shadow flashed in his pupils, and Bilbo suddenly glanced at Levi and scratched his head.

"Oh no, no, no, Levi, don't mention his name directly..."

Gandalf had a headache. Although he lost the ring, Sauron was not dead yet. If he mentioned his name without certain measures, it would be vaguely sensed.

Although it was okay to be sensed, and Sauron couldn't come over and beat people along the network cable, it was not a good thing after all.

"Many elves use 'He who must not be named' as a nickname when referring to that person. Of course, this is not important. What I want to say is that I have to confirm whether the Ringwraiths have been summoned again, and I need to travel a long way for this."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I will do this. What I want to ask you for is, when I come back, can you go to Dol Guldur with me? Maybe there is something there."

"But there is more than just something..."

If I remember correctly, Sauron is there now.

"What?"

"It's okay, I promised. When will you be back?"

Gandalf said a not-so-short time.

"Okay, see you then."

"Okay, if any of us arrive early, wait at the main gate for three days."

Gandalf rode away and separated from the team again.

Levi followed the expedition into the Mirkwood.

"Levi, what did Gandalf tell you?" Bilbo asked curiously, and the dwarves beside him also pricked up their ears.

The guys were quite curious about what Levi and Gandalf were mumbling on the side.

However, although there were some things that could be said, they would not be able to understand them and would only be confused.

"He said that the Black Forest has been corrupted by evil forces and is very dangerous. We need to stay on the main road as much as possible, where it is relatively safe."

Bilbo nodded seriously and replied, "I see."

"I will pay attention."
