"Hurry up, keep up..."
"Why did you leave so suddenly? I haven't even eaten enough of the prosciutto..."
"And that yellow fruit wine, we won't be able to drink it again after we leave..."
"It's okay to leave tomorrow, we haven't eaten enough food from the elves yet..."
"Shut up, the elves are our enemies. Have you forgotten?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it, but eating up the elf's food storage cabinet is considered revenge..."
"Shut up, you all. It won't be good if the elves find out..."
"When you find it, you find it. What are you afraid of? Anyway, we have already recovered our money..."
"Why do you think Thorin suddenly decided to leave?"
"And I haven't even waited for Gandalf to come..."
"I don't know, why don't you ask Thorin..."
"I'm not going..."
The optimistic nature of dwarves allows them to be optimistic in any environment and under any circumstances.
Even in this tense environment of leaving Rivendell urgently.
Morgan, who was following the team, couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the conversation of several dwarves.
The expedition team encountered few obstacles on their way out of Rivendell.
Except when arriving at the large square under Rivendell Mountain and preparing to leave through the giant arch bridge.
The expedition team was finally discovered by the elven guards guarding the giant arch bridge.
Facing the guarding elven guards, Thorin Oakenshield, who can truly leave Rivendell through this bridge, is very strong.
Thorin Oakenshield knew that he could not be delayed for too long, otherwise once the hypocritical Lord Ellon changed his mind, the expedition team would most likely run into big trouble. Thorin Oakenshield immediately pulled out the elf when he encountered the elf guard blocking the way. Sword.
"We need to get out of here now and get out of the way!"
Facing a group of dwarves who spoke calmly but held sharp blades pointed at themselves.
The elf guards guarding the bridge obviously didn't understand the situation.
He knew that this group of dwarves were guests of Lord Ellon.
But why should guests leave secretly, especially at night?
Lord Elon has never said that once these dwarves want to leave, they will be forced to stay.
But if the dwarves want to leave, they can choose to leave during the day, right?
Why are they sneaking around, especially at night?
Did they commit something?
Lord Elon had no order whether he should stop these dwarves from leaving.
But they are guests of Lord Elon. What if they have not committed any crime?
The leading elf guard's thoughts were a little confused for a moment.
Fortunately, he was still awake, and he sent someone to quickly inform Rivendell's senior management of the situation.
Talk to the dwarves while delaying.
Thorin Oakenshield, who was eager to leave, couldn't see the tricks of the elf guards in front of him.
He also became more and more certain in his heart that Lord Ellon wanted to prevent his team from going to the Lonely Mountain.
So he became more and more rude.
"Is this how you, Rivendell, treat your guests?"
"Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Thorin Oakenshield shouted coldly.
The dwarf behind him also waved his weapon and shouted angrily because of Thorin Oakenshield's attitude.
As long as Thorin Oakenshield said a word, they would immediately pounce on them and tear these elven guards apart to avenge the feud between the dwarves and the elves.
But the elf guards, whose number was only the expedition team, were not afraid of the threat of the dwarves.
Still insisting on blocking the entrance of the giant arch bridge, blocking the expedition team.
Thorin Oakenshield's face became increasingly angry, but his heart was exceptionally calm.
Of course he knew that he could not be an enemy of Lord Ellon at this time, nor could he be against Rivendell.
Even if you really want to take action, you can never kill the guards in front of you. At most, you can only defeat and wound them.
Otherwise, the situation would be really serious.
Just when the situation was at stake, Thorin Oakenshield was about to teach these elf guards a lesson.
The guards sent to inform the upper echelons of Rivendell have returned.
The guard who had just returned said a few words in the ears of the leading elf guard.
The leading elf guard looked at the angry-looking dwarves in front of him, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally got out of the way.
Thorin Oakenshield felt happy, looked angry and said coldly: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked quickly towards the giant arch bridge.
The anger of the dwarves behind them dissipated a little, and then they cursed and strode towards the giant arch bridge behind Thorin Oakenshield.
Just as the expedition team crossed the arch bridge and quickly headed towards the rugged mountain road.
On the mountaintop loft in Rivendell.
The Elf Queen Galadriel, who was originally standing on the edge of the attic, facing the sky to admire the bright full moon, suddenly turned her head, looked at Gandalf on the central round table, and secretly whispered: "The dwarves have left."
Gandalf turned his head, looked at Galadriel and said in his heart: "That's right."
Galadriel continued to speak: "Have you planned this before?"
This time Gandalf didn't say anything, just looked at Galadriel and shrugged slightly.
Seemingly aware of Gandalf's series of plans, the Elf Queen, who was initially vague about the matter, looked at Gandalf and smiled.
However, because he took into account the face and attitude of the white-robed wizard Saruman as the president of the Holy White Council.
Galadriel continued to look at the full moon in the sky.
Saruman, who was sitting opposite Gandalf, was still chattering and talking.
For the white-robed wizard Saruman, he was not only opposed to the dwarves going to the Lonely Mountain, but he was also unhappy with Gandalf, a nosy guy.
There is no love and hate for no reason in the world.
The same goes for Saruman.
Although he had a hard time explaining why he hated Gandalf at first.
But it didn't matter, what Gandalf did later made him even more unhappy.
This also allows him to express his displeasure with Gandalf more openly.
Just as Saruman continued to express his great dissatisfaction with the dwarves' expedition to the Lonely Mountain.
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the attic.
Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound and saw Elf Linde walking in quickly.
First, he bowed to show respect to several important figures.
Then he looked at Lord Elrond and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Elrond, those dwarves are gone."
...
Time passed slowly.
When the eastern horizon begins to glow with white clouds, the full moon completely disappears into the sky.
On a rugged mountain road not far from Rivendell.
The expedition team is making steady progress.
Seeing that there really were no more elves behind him, Thorin Oakenshield's face became obviously much more relaxed.
The expedition's biggest problem: the secret of the Lonely Mountain map has been solved.
Bombur and Bofur also recovered from their injuries, and all the members were also in very good shape.
There are also large and small bags of dry food and drinks for the team members.
Thorin Oakenshield just felt that this trip to Rivendell was the right time.
Gandalf's plan was very good indeed.
"Everyone be on alert, we are about to enter the wilderness..."
"Bahrain, you know the road, you are at the front."
Looking up at the sky and the road ahead, Thorin Oakenshield gave instructions.
Bilbo looked at Rivendell, which was getting farther and farther behind him, feeling incomprehensible.
At this moment, he looked at Bilbo who was walking slowly and frequently looking behind him.
Thorin Oakenshield said: "Master Baggins, I suggest you follow him quickly."
Listening to Thorin Oakenshield's somewhat teasing address, Bilbo sighed in his heart.
Quickly walked towards Morgan in front.
