legend begins with lord of the rings

…

A few more days passed, and the team got closer and closer to Rivendell.

On this day, everyone passed by a shack. Thorin looked at the sun and saw that it was already late. This shack was just right for resting at night, so he stopped the team.

"Fili, Kili, you guys find a place with lush vegetation to tie your horses. You are responsible for looking after the horses tonight.

Heili, Baggins, you are responsible for cooking...the others will explore the surroundings to see if there is any danger." Thorin arranged the work for everyone.

Gandalf walked into the shack. With many years of experience, he smelled danger: this shack was too new and too dilapidated.

New refers to the materials used, and the materials used to make the shack look new. Broken refers to the walls and roof of the shack, which were completely damaged.

"There should have been a farmer living here not long ago." Abel walked into the shack to be lazy, and saw the wizard with a confused look on his face. He pointed to the farm tools piled in the corner, and then pointed to the things in the shack that had not been tidied up in time.

Clothes, and a few copper plates stained with blood.

The wizard realized that this place had probably been attacked by unknown creatures not long ago.

Looking at the signs of destruction at the scene, Gandalf said: "I think it would be wiser to move on."

"Thorin is over there. Go and discuss with him. This is his team." Abel pointed outside.

After the wizard left, Abel found a comfortable position and lay down. Then, he heard the wizard and the dwarf king arguing.

"King Elrond can provide us with food, safety, and interpret maps... He can help us. Why not go?" Gandalf did not understand the dwarves' brain circuits.

Going from the Hidden Valley (East-West Avenue) can save a lot of trouble and bring a lot of convenience.

Thorin rejected the wizard's proposal just because the elves lived there.

"Help us?

When the evil dragon attacked the lonely mountain, what did the elves help?

Where were the elves when the orcs occupied Moria? You asked me to beg the elves, the elves who betrayed my grandfather and my father...I will never agree." Thorin said excitedly, but he was actually venting his anger.

.

"Put down your prejudices and don't let anger blind your reason." Gandalf also wanted to persuade the dwarf king.

He hoped Thorin could make the right decision. There were only a few people in Middle-earth who could decipher that map, and King Elrond of Rivendell was one of them.

Whether you can understand the information on the map is related to the future of the dwarves and Middle-earth.

Unfortunately, the wizard is destined to be disappointed.

Although Thorin looks like he is only in his thirties, he is actually almost two hundred years old. He has experienced too many hardships among the dwarves.

He still remembered that when he was in his twenties, the dwarves lived in the Lonely Mountain. At that time, the dwarves and the elves were still allies.

However, when the dragon Smaug destroyed the Lonely Mountain and Thorin escaped from the Lonely Mountain, he happened to see Thranduil leading the elves to watch not far away.

Thorin shouted to Thranduil for help, hoping that the other party could save his people. As a result, Thranduil gave him a cold look, turned around and left with the elves.

Thorin still remembers Thranduil's ruthless look at that time, and he regarded it as a shame.

Now the wizard actually wanted him to ask for help from the elves again. Thorin shouted at the wizard angrily: "You don't understand anything... That's it, I won't accept the help of the elves, and I won't even die."

Gandalf was angered by Thorin's attitude, and he said: "Give me the map back, and I will go find King Elrond."

"Don't even think about it, that's something from our dwarves. I won't let you give it to the elves." Thorin was stubborn and distanced himself from the wizard.

As if he was afraid that the wizard would steal the map.

Seeing Thorin's stubbornness, the wizard was really angry this time. He waved the pipe in his hand and walked towards the forest.

"Gandalf~"

Bilbo discovered the quarrel here and ran over to call the wizard.

"What's the matter? Bilbo!" Gandalf was still angry and continued walking away without looking back.

"Where are you going?" Bilbo was frightened by the wizard's tone. He had never seen Gandalf like this before.

"Go to the only sane man here," Gandalf answered loudly.

"Who is that?" Bilbo continued to ask stupidly. In his opinion, many people here are very sensible.

"Myself, Mr. Baggins!"

The wizard had gone far away, and everyone could still hear him mumbling something.

In fact, Gandalf is still very rational. He knows that people will make wrong judgments when they are angry. So he needs to find a quiet place to calm down alone so that he can regain his sense.

Thorin watched Gandalf go away and was silent for a long time. Finally, he found a big rock to sit down and think about life.

…

It was completely dark, but the wizard still hadn't come back. It seemed like he was really pissed off this time.

"Aren't you worried? Gandalf hasn't come back yet."

During dinner, Bilbo asked Abel, who was in a daze next to him.

Abel was looking at his system at this time, thinking about how to improve his combat effectiveness. He remembered that there were trolls here, which were worth hunting.

As a legendary adventurer, how can he not have a record of success?

And Abel remembered that this adventure would become more and more dangerous after starting with the troll.

Now Abel desperately needs a few skills to protect himself and fight. Looking at the 450,000 popularity in the system, he has already made a decision in his heart.

Looking back, he saw that the hobbit still looked worried, and Abel said: "Don't worry about Gandalf, he is capable enough to deal with everything in the forest.

He will come back naturally when he figures it out."

You know, Gandalf is actually a demigod. As long as his faith is not corrupted, he will not die at all. Even if he is really dead, his spirit body can be resurrected from Valinor, the land of the gods.

It can be said that without the physical seal, Gandalf would be even more powerful.

"Heili, remember to bring everything you need with you tonight. It's best not to throw it on the horse's back." Abel reminded the big man after dinner.

And he himself entered the shack, immersed himself in the system, and selected skills:

Raising chickens, ducks, and herding sheep...these are all life skills that have been skipped.

Kung Fu: Judo, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Tai Chi...

Swordsmanship categories: Qing swordsmanship, Wudang swordsmanship, Tai Chi swordsmanship, Feitian swordsmanship...

Shooting: Archery, Firearms Shooting, Rocket Launcher Shooting...

…

Abel lay half-lying, opened the system and looked at each one.

First of all, he excluded most of the thermal weapons, which were "high-tech" and "strategic materials" that were ridiculously expensive and highly consumable. With Abel's current reputation, he simply couldn't afford to squander it.

Abel observed the system for a long time and chose three skills: Archery, Nine Swordsmanship, and Jeet Kune Do.

There is nothing much to say about archery, long-range attacks are essential.

Nine swordsmanship is a swordsmanship that combines chopping, stabbing, cutting, breaking, intercepting, teasing, wiping, hooking, lifting and other skills. It is very lethal and practical in close combat.

As for Jeet Kune Do, what Abel likes about it is the concept of Kung Fu. It explains a lot of force techniques, control of attack distance and the use of foot flexibility.

In the system, upgrading a skill to level one requires 1,000 popularity, level two requires 2x2,000 popularity, level three requires 3x3,000...and so on.

Level 10 is a watershed, within the controllable range of normal humans.

After the tenth level, it can be said to be the extraordinary level (fantasy level). Each time you upgrade to a level, you need to add an extra zero after the previous analog number. For example, to upgrade to the eleventh level of archery, you need 11x11x10w popularity, and to the twelfth level, you need 12x12x10w popularity... In this way
