legend begins with lord of the rings

Seeing the power of the dragon, the hobbits remembered that the wizard said when he left: If he did not arrive, everyone should not enter the Lonely Mountain.

"Thorin, aren't we waiting for Gandalf? He said we won't be allowed to enter the Lonely Mountain by ourselves." Bilbo stopped Thorin and said.

"Then tell me where Gandalf is now. We don't have time to wait for him." Thorin ignored the hobbits and continued to move forward with the team.

"Hey, Abel, please advise them quickly. There is danger in the Lonely Mountain." Seeing that Thorin ignored him, Bilbo found Abel again.

"Bilbo, this is Thorin's mission, you can't stop it..." Abel shook his head and signaled the hobbit to stop trying to stop the dwarf.

Under the leadership of Thorin, everyone walked around the ruins of River Valley City and arrived at the foot of Lonely Mountain within a short distance.

Erebor, the home of the dwarves, is a dwarf castle built on an entire solitary mountain. It looks even more majestic from a closer look, and it is indeed a masterpiece built by the dwarves over several generations.

At this time, the gates of Erebor were closed tightly, as if it had become a dead city.

Thorin glanced at the castle with complicated eyes. Then he took out the map in his arms and led the dwarves to the side of the lonely mountain.

"If the map is correct, my grandfather Thor left a secret passage into the Lonely Mountain. It should be at this location... Let's look carefully..." Thorin compared the map and said.

"The sun is going down soon, everyone, work harder..." Bahrain looked at the sun setting in the west and reminded everyone.

For a moment, the dwarves all rushed to the lonely mountain and carefully inspected it inch by inch.

Abel did not choose to follow the dwarves and step forward together. He pondered for a while, but slowly backed away.

When he was hundreds of meters away from the solitary mountain, Abel looked up. He saw a huge dwarf statue carved on the side of the solitary mountain. Looking at the thick beard, he should be the first generation dwarf king.

Er's statue.

It can be seen from the outline that there is a path along the body of the statue, leading directly to Sol's cupped hands.

"Abel, did you already know that you can see the road here?" Bilbo saw Abel's abnormal movements and came over. Following Abel's gaze, he also saw the path.

"No, I just discovered it too," Abel said.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the dwarves also ran over, and they also discovered the path.

Who would have thought that that hidden path becomes harder and harder to see the closer you walk. Instead, you have to step back a certain distance to find it.

"Well done, Abel~" Thorin showed an approving smile on his face, and then hurriedly led the dwarf towards the path.

Everyone climbed up the path to the palm of the statue, where there was a huge platform. Judging from the surrounding terrain, the secret passage leading to the interior of the lonely mountain was nearby.

"Don't be too happy, everyone. We still have to find the keyhole to open the secret passage." Thorin held the key given to him by the wizard in his hand and said to the dwarves.

"We will definitely succeed..." Fili shouted, and rushed to the stone wall with his weapon in hand and began to knock on it.

Seeing this, the other dwarves also ran to the stone wall to inspect it carefully.

Abel identified the direction of the light, found a direction, walked to the stone wall, and reached out to touch the stone wall. This time he found nothing.

The sun slowly sank below the horizon. Abel changed his position several times, but still couldn't find the keyhole.

So, he shook his head and stepped aside, waiting for the moon to appear.

"Thrush... rock... sunset... keyhole..." Thorin frowned and looked at the map in his hand, mumbling the runes that King Sauron had interpreted.

He believed that these runes indicated that the keyhole must be found before the sun goes down. Otherwise, the dwarves would miss the best opportunity to open the treasure of the Lonely Mountain.

Watching the sun set little by little, Thorin became irritated. He shouted to the dwarves: "Hurry up, we must find the keyhole before it's too late to go down the mountain."

The dwarves also knew the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but become impatient.

Dvalin searched several times but could not find the keyhole. He raised his weapon and slashed at the stone wall angrily.

"Damn..."

"We are going to fail..."

The sun slowly sank into the horizon, and with the last ray of sunlight disappearing, the dwarves seemed to have been drained of their energy, and they leaned against the stone wall lifelessly one by one.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After Thorin watched the sun go down, he went crazy, threw the map and key under his feet, and stepped hard on them.

"Damn...why is this happening...why..." Thorin fell to his knees weakly on the ground.

Balin looked at the disappointed Thorin and sighed. He walked to Abel and asked: "Abel, what do you think?"

He didn't think there was anything Abel could do, but now he could only treat a dead horse as a living doctor.

"Think about it: standing next to the gray rock while the thrush is tapping. The setting sun, borrowing the rays of Turin's sun, will shine on the keyhole... This is the information recorded on the map."

Abel walked up to the dwarves and analyzed the details in the message for them: "Among them, the time of opening the Lonely Mountain can be explained as follows: after sunset, the last ray of light of the Turin sun...

The Turin Day has not passed yet, so the afterglow does not necessarily refer to the sun, but may be the moonlight...the last ray of moonlight when the sun and the moon alternate."

Bahrain just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Abel really had another interpretation. And it made sense.

"Are you telling the truth?" Thorin also stood up at this time, holding the map in his hand and looking at Abel expectantly.

"Of course, this is just my personal understanding. If you want to know whether it is correct or not, you only need to wait here one night.

Anyway, you have no other choice now. Unless you are willing to go back like this." Abel said.

"I believe Abel, he will not lie to us." Bahrain sided with Abel.

"I agree, the worst thing is to stay one more night." Fili also supported Abel's view.

The other dwarves were not willing to give up just like that. They looked at Thorin, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Okay, let's stay here one more night." Thorin sat down on the spot, preparing to sit here all night.

Abel didn't want to treat himself badly, so he took out the food, put it on the blanket, and started eating. Heili and the hobbits sat over.

However, the dwarves had no appetite. From time to time, some of them walked to the stone wall in the dark and kept knocking.

Abel, on the other hand, quietly lay down in his sleeping bag after finishing his dinner, without trying to stop the dwarves from getting mad.

This night was spent by the dwarves anxiously waiting.

"Look! That's a thrush..." Fili didn't sleep all night, and when it was almost dawn, he saw a thrush flying over.

"Hey, keep your voice down, don't scare it away." Balin knocked on Fili's head and reminded in a low voice.

Everyone held their breath and watched the thrush flying over.

In the eyes of everyone, the thrush was holding a nut in its mouth and landed on a gray stone. It tapped the stone wall with the nut.

"The thrush knocks on the stone wall, that's right..." Thorin's eyes showed excitement.

The darkness before dawn fell, and the moonlight slowly disappeared. When the last ray of moonlight shone beside the thrush, Thorin jumped up excitedly.

The current situation is completely consistent with the prediction.

The thrush was scared away by Thorin, but no one cared about it. The other dwarves also ran to the stone wall where the moonlight finally disappeared.

"It's a keyhole... I found it, it's a keyhole~" Fili shouted excitedly.

The other dwarves also saw the hidden keyhole in the stone wall.

"Thorin, quickly... put the key in..." Balin reminded Thorin excitedly.

Thorin stepped forward, took out the key, and excitedly inserted the key in. With a slight twist, the key moved.
