legend begins with lord of the rings

When Abel finally walked out of the hall, Heili was standing at the door.

"You don't have to follow me all the time, you can do your own thing." Abel said to Hei Li. He had always regarded Hei Li as a friend, and of course he didn't want him to become his vassal.

A normal person can have his own hobbies, such as sleeping in, listening to music, hanging out, etc.

"I don't have anything else to do." Hei Li said, naturally walking to the position next to Abel and lagging behind.

I don’t know who’s eyes were about to pop out when they saw the beautiful scenery of Rivendell before.

Seeing Hei Li like this, Abel had nothing to do. He shook his head and took out a hot roast chicken from his bag, tore off one leg himself, and handed the rest to Hei Li.

The two walked out of the restaurant along the road and saw a group of dwarves on the side of the road holding ingredients and preparing to have a barbecue.

"Abel, do you want to go have a barbecue together? There is meat and sausages here..." Fili called Abel from all the way.

"Where is Gandalf?" Abel walked over and saw that the wizard and the hobbit were not here.

"They went to the elf king's study. It seems they can't make it in time for our barbecue party~" Fili said with a smile.

"I wish you a good time, I'm going to see Gandalf and the others." Abel planned to go to Gandalf and the others.

It's pitch black outside right now, the moon hasn't come out yet, and there's no night view. It's boring to just have a midnight snack.

"Oh, no~ you can't go" Fili suddenly grabbed Abel.

"What's wrong?" Abel was a little confused. Although he had a good relationship with Feili, it was not to the point where the other party couldn't bear to let him go.

"That... that..." Fili said sheepishly, with a flattering expression on his face.

Now Abel understood. He took out two cans of white wine from his bag, and also took out some lamb chops, steaks and other ingredients suitable for barbecue.

When the dwarves saw the ingredients that Abel took out, they all showed happy smiles and cheered. Although the ingredients given by the elves were good, the elves couldn't get the dwarves' hobbies at all. It was dwarves to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink from big bowls.

Favorite.

Saying goodbye to Feili and the others, Abel found an elf and took him and Heili to King Elrond's study.

Opening the door, I saw five people in the room. The wizard, the hobbit, Thorin and the strategist Balin were standing together, while King Elrond was standing far away from the four people. Obviously leaving a place for them to discuss.

space.

"Please, Thorin. Show him the map."

Gandalf frowned and persuaded the dwarf king.

Thorin regretted it when he reached the last step of handing over the map. He said solemnly: "That is the treasure of the dwarf people. I cannot give it to the elves. My responsibility is to protect it."

"Don't let me worry about the dwarf's stubbornness. Your arrogance can't help you!" Gandalf already felt that the dwarf was a bit unreasonable at this time. He continued: "The people standing over there are the entire Middle-earth, a few people who know ancient times.

One of the dwarf whisperers... show him the map."

Thorin was still hesitating.

In fact, the conversation between the two was not on the same channel at all. Gandalf just asked Thorin to take out the map and let the Elf King interpret it. Thorin felt that taking out the map about the Lonely Mountain treasure was equivalent to handing over the treasure.

Thorin, who had always been prejudiced against elves, now did not want to hand over the map to King Elrond. His thinking had reached a dead end.

Balin walked around anxiously, and reason told him that Gandalf was right. But as a dwarf, he also knew Thorin's concerns. So now he didn't know how to persuade Thorin.

As for Bilbo, he stood aside in a daze, looking completely confused.

"Let me say something." Abel walked over and said to Gandalf and Thorin: "We only give the map to King Elrond for interpretation. No matter what secrets are hidden on the map, no one should follow the matter of taking out the treasure.

King Elrond mentioned.

This way we can know the secret, and the fact that the dwarves got the treasure back will not be revealed."

If he wasn't afraid of people being suspicious, Abel could tell the dwarves the secrets on the map now.

After listening to Abel's words, Thorin thought about it for a while and was obviously moved. He looked at the wizard. Gandalf nodded and gave him an encouraging look.

So Thorin walked to King Elrond with the map and solemnly handed the map to the Elven King.

"Irubo~"

King Elrond took the map and pursed his lips. He recognized it as the map of Lonely Mountain after just one glance. He stared at Thorin and asked, "What do you think of Lonely Mountain?"

This goes back to the previous question. King Elrond wanted to get confirmation from the dwarf king whether the dwarves were after the treasure of the Lonely Mountain.

In the eyes of the elves, Smaug on the Lonely Mountain has not appeared in Middle-earth for sixty years. If the dwarves go to get the treasure at this time, they will definitely wake up the evil dragon, which will cause trouble for Middle-earth.

Thorin didn't know how to answer King Elrond's question, and his eyes were a little evasive.

"It's mainly academic research." Gandalf quickly interjected at this time: "These ancient things you know always have some secrets hidden in them."

Hearing the wizard speak, King Elrond knew that he still couldn't get the answer from the dwarves this time. He looked away and stared at Thorin.

"You can still read Old Dwarf, right?" Gandalf continued to ask.

King Elrond looked at the map and said in Elvish: "Yes, Sesiwen Yisiel (rune)..."

"Moon runes?" Gandalf said with a genuine expression, and then explained to Thorin.

King Elrond continued to study the map and said: "To read the moon runes, you must use the moonlight of the same shape and the same season. It was the same as the day it was struck..."

A group of people looked at King Elrond as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

Of course, this does not include Abel. He already knew what was hidden on the map.

Thorin could not wait for Elrond's tirade. He only cared about the results. He asked: "Can you read them?"

King Elrond glanced at Thorin and the wizard again, then turned and walked towards the platform. There was a transparent platform there that could be used to collect moonlight.

Everyone followed the Elf King to the open-air platform, and saw King Elrond spreading the map on the transparent platform: "These runes were written on the eve of a certain Midsummer Festival, and the message was left by the moonlight... almost two hundred

years.

Destiny seems to have led you to Rivendell.

The same moonlight shines on us tonight."

King Elrond has some precognitive powers, and he seems to have seen the fate of the dwarves.

At this time, the moon in the sky just emerged from the dark clouds, and the map was fully illuminated by the bright moon. A magical scene appeared, and a string of small, glowing, transparent characters appeared in the lower right corner of the map.

This scene attracted everyone, and Abel also came over.

The small print reads: Stand by the gray rock while the thrush strikes, and the afterglow of the setting sun in Turin will shine on the keyhole.

The Elf King also truthfully told everyone about the new content on the map. Then he asked doubtfully: "Turin Day?"

"It's the dwarves' New Year, the day when autumn and winter transition." Gandalf answered the Elf King.

Thorin, on the other hand, looked thoughtful and said unknowingly: "This is bad news. It has entered autumn and we don't have much time..."

Bahrain also thought for a moment and said: "We still have a chance, as long as we arrive at the right place at the right time..."

The two dwarves talked about the dwarves' purpose this time openly. Even Gandalf didn't have time to stop them.

King Elrond stared at Thorin and asked: "This is your purpose? Enter the Lonely Mountain."

Thorin reacted only then, but it was already too late. He glared back at the elf and asked in a desperate tone: "So what?"

King Elrond smiled, as if mocking the dwarves' intelligence. He said: "Some people will not be willing to see you open the Lonely Mountain."

"Who is that?" Gandalf heard something in King Elrond's words. He felt that the action of the dwarves this time was not as smooth as expected.

"You are not the only guardian of Middle-earth..." King Elrond glanced at the wizard and left the platform.

The wizard and dwarf were left at the scene with pensive expressions on their faces.
