Keep moving along the rugged path with the abyss cliffs beside you.
When the figure of Rivendell, the capital of elves behind him, became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from everyone's eyes.
All members of the expedition team have now completely left Rivendell.
Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.
Thorin Oakenshield was in a good mood as he felt free of restraints.
When talking to Morgan from time to time, he actually asked Morgan about bounty hunters.
You must know that during the journey of more than a month ago, except for some matters within the team, Thorin Oakenshield rarely spoke, let alone took the initiative to talk to anyone.
Thorin Oakenshield's actions seemed to other members of the expedition team to be the reason why Thorin trusted Morgan.
But in Morgan's own opinion, it was not just a matter of trusting him.
First, as the members of the expedition team saw, Thorin Oakenshield did have some trust in Morgan.
That's because Morgan is so powerful. In previous battles with orcs and trolls, Morgan's strength was obvious to all.
It's also because Morgan's identity is different from that of the dwarves.
None of them belong to the group of dwarves, but all are the subordinates of Thorin Oakenshield, and are his people.
Thorin Oakenshield maintains his own identity and naturally does not talk much with the dwarves except for work matters.
Morgan is not like the wizard Gandalf, a wizard who can't even guess his true thoughts and still tries his best to help him.
This makes Thorin Oakenshield have limited trust in Gandalf.
Morgan is not without any ability. He can only join the team because of his relationship with Gandalf. At the critical moment, he needs other people to save the halfling Bilbo.
Therefore, Thorin Oakenshield did not look down upon Bilbo at all.
Compared to the above three types, bounty hunter Morgan is powerful and has a simple purpose.
This makes it easier for Thorin Oakenshield, who is suspicious by nature, to trust Morgan.
Although Morgan himself is also suspicious and cautious by nature.
After unlocking the secret of the Lonely Mountain map, the team members were repaired, and they also received dry food, supplies, and drinks. They also used Rivendell to get rid of the pursuit of the orcs.
It can be said that the entire expedition team members are in good spirits this time.
Except for Bilbo who was slightly melancholy.
Without the pursuit of the orcs, even if they were attacked by some wild beasts during the journey, it would be nothing to this elite expedition team.
The expedition team repaired from Rivendell and continued on the road.
Climb over the alpine wilderness and cross the snow-capped mountains and forests.
When the expedition team stood dusty at the foot of a mountain range made of rocks.
It has been more than half a month since the group left Rivendell.
"Boom..."
"Rumble..."
The sky was dark and gloomy, and thunder was rolling in the sky.
Looking at the vast mountains with sparse vegetation and bare sand and rocks around them.
Thorin Oakenshield looked heavy.
"Bahrain, is this the only way?"
Thorin Oakenshield turned to look at the white-bearded dwarf Balin.
Balin understood what Thorin Oakenshield meant.
Such rocky mountains and the upcoming thunderstorms.
The difficulty and danger of the journey will increase dramatically.
The road ahead will be very difficult.
The most unacceptable thing is that there is no suitable place to take shelter from the rain and repair.
"there is none left..."
"Well... it's not completely impossible. There is another way, if we are willing to spend an extra month."
Balin first shook his head, then nodded, thought for a moment and then spoke.
"no!"
"The day in Turin is not far away and we cannot afford to waste a month."
After hearing Balin's words, Thorin Oakenshield, who originally thought he had other options, immediately rejected the other path Balin said.
"Follow me, we'll spend the night in the mountains tonight."
Thorin Oakenshield turned around and shouted to the members behind him, then took the lead and walked up the mountain.
Morgan stood beside Balin, saying nothing to the conversation between the two dwarves.
At this time, Thorin Oakenshield made a move, and Morgan followed immediately.
Morgan naturally has memories of this trip in the plot, and they are very profound.
If the plot in memory remains roughly the same.
The expedition team will next encounter the legendary battle of the stone giant.
The battle scene was earth-shattering, and the members of the expedition team who were involved in it were in extreme danger.
When Morgan saw this scene in the movie in his previous life, he was really worried about the expedition team.
In his opinion, the most dangerous and difficult moment for the entire expedition team was this scene.
I believe everyone who has watched the movie has similar feelings.
to be honest.
More than half a month ago, when I was in Rivendell.
Morgan had thought about staying in Rivendell with Gandalf.
After all, the scene when the expedition team encountered the stone giant was too thrilling.
The orcs I saw in front of the movie screen in my previous life didn't seem too dangerous. On the contrary, because of the ugly and stupid nature of the orcs, I even thought these cannon fodder bitches were a bit cute.
But after coming to this world, seeing orcs in person for the first time and fighting with them.
Morgan put away such childish thoughts. He was sure that all he needed to do was to see the orcs with his own eyes.
There is absolutely no thought that half-orcs are cute.
You can imagine when a dozen tall and strong men armed with sharp weapons and hungry faces faced a fat and strong pig.
When you are that fat pig, facing monsters that want to kill and eat you at any time, even to tear you alive.
Do you still think the other person is cute?
It was only after Morgan saw the ferocity of the orcs with his own eyes that he hesitated about the scene when the expedition team encountered the stone giant.
Orcs are so ferocious, and a battle between stone giants as big as mountains is definitely several times more dangerous than what is shown in the movie.
Morgan is not the protagonist and does not have an aura of immortality.
Although he now has a certain ability to protect himself in Middle-earth, he does not want to seek death.
If possible, Morgan naturally wouldn't want to go through this.
However, he signed an employment contract with Thorin Oakenshield.
Then, and most importantly.
Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield and the dwarf Balin knew about Rivendell's plan.
They didn't tell Morgan.
Even if Morgan's strength and other aspects shown along the way are very good, the fact that his origin is unknown is enough to make the three of them fearful.
Although Morgan knew all of their plans in his mind, the three of them didn't say it out loud.
Morgan could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
Without knowing all the plans, there was no reason to stay.
What's more, this trip is also a journey that Morgan must participate in if he wants to obtain the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
Because after the expedition team survives the battle of the Stone Giants, they will encounter the biggest turning point in the entire movie.
The protagonist is Bilbo Baggins, who has no presence in the team along the way.
Bilbo will meet the monster "Gollum" next in the underground Goblin Kingdom, and then very, very easily pick up the Supreme Lord of the Rings behind Gollum, which Gollum regards as a treasure.
If Morgan wants to get the Ring, he must get it before Bilbo does.
Otherwise, once Bilbo gets it, it will be difficult for Morgan to get the Ring from his opponent due to the Ring's ability to become invisible.
That's why Morgan had to get involved.
As for why you want to obtain the Lord of the Rings, it will affect the plot changes in your memory.
This question is too simple.
Because of the fact that the Lord of the Rings can become invisible.
Even as long as your willpower is strong enough, the Lord of the Rings can make you invisible forever.
Such an absolute life-saving artifact.
What reason did Morgan have to give up?
What's more, once he gets the Supreme Lord of the Rings, he will naturally become a plot character who can stir up troubles in Middle-earth.
At that time, whatever he does can increase the progress of exploring the world in his body, without having to keep following the characters in the plot to make progress.
I believe that by then, the importance of the Supreme Lord of the Rings will be felt.
The plot characters will probably all converge towards him, without him needing to take the initiative to get close to the plot characters.
Of course, these are all speculations by Morgan.
But the possibility is extremely high.
If Morgan could really get the One Ring and control it.
His thoughts above are no longer speculations.
Having the future plot direction in mind is indeed an important reliance for Morgan to survive in this world.
But if the memory of the plot could be replaced by the Invisible Supreme Lord Ring, Morgan would change it without hesitation.
Morgan is familiar with the plot in order to survive.
But if it can be replaced with the Supreme Lord of the Rings, which can greatly enhance his combat effectiveness, he can better protect his life and survive better.
What reason does Morgan have for not changing?
Of course, these are only possible if Morgan can successfully seize and control the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
For now, it's just Morgan's plan.
If the attempt to seize the Ring fails, everything is in vain.
...
"Rumble..."
The sky is getting darker and darker, thunder is roaring, and dark clouds are rolling and gathering.
The rainstorm is not far away.
A dozen people from the expedition team were walking with difficulty on an extremely rugged and steep rocky path.
The group set out from Hobbiton. The journey lasted three months and they traveled hard all the way here.
The Middle Earth has traveled through countless steep mountains, rivers, snow-capped mountains and wilderness.
Rugged and dangerous mountain roads are not unheard of, but the winding trail in front of them is definitely the most dangerous one the expedition team has ever walked.
This trail is basically made of rocks. One side is close to the steep rock wall, and the other side is the dark, deep and terrifying cliff.
The true width of the trail is no more than one foot wide (about 30 centimeters) in the middle.
Most people will feel panicked just looking at such a scary trail.
Not to mention standing on it, carrying packages and walking on it with weapons and equipment.
The dwarf Bofur walked slowly with one hand on the uneven stone wall beside him. He turned his head and glanced at the dark abyss nearby. He felt dizzy and couldn't help but said loudly: "This is definitely the last time I will walk like this." of the road, I swear..."
The dwarf Dori, who was walking in front of Bofur, immediately replied: "You can't swear, then Thorin has to say it."
The dwarf Fili, who was walking at the end, glanced at the dark abyss behind him, and also said: "This road must be the most difficult road to walk since we set out!"
Dwarin, the dwarf further ahead, also spoke: "I'm curious, who dug such a road?"
Hearing the words spoken by the brothers behind him, the white-bearded Balin, who was following Thorin Oakenshield, said: "This road doesn't look like it was dug out specially, it's more like it was formed naturally..."
Morgan, who was walking behind the dwarf Dwalin, glanced at the abyss beside him, took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to move forward.
However, the team was moving forward slowly. Listening to the dwarves chatting leisurely, Morgan finally couldn't help but said loudly: "I think we should spend our energy on finding a shelter from the rain as soon as possible instead of chatting."
"It's going to rain soon, and the rain doesn't look like it's going to let up. Then we'll be in trouble."
The cold wind was howling on the mountainside next to the abyss, the sky was dark, dark clouds were rolling, and thunder was rolling in the sky. Everything indicated that a heavy rain was about to hit.
After Morgan finished speaking, Thorin Oakenshield, who was walking at the front of the team, immediately looked up at the sky and then looked at the team's forward speed.
Then he immediately turned around and said loudly: "Morgan is right, we need to speed up and try to find a place to rest before it rains."
"Pay attention to your safety and follow behind!"
As soon as Thorin Oakenshield opened his mouth, everyone immediately shut up.
Speeding up such a dangerous alley, anyone who dares to chat while distracted is looking for death.
At this moment, Bilbo, who was walking behind Morgan, suddenly made a voice.
"Hey, what do you think that is?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Bilbo's finger and saw a goat-like animal with sharp horns on its head standing on the more steep and dangerous rocky slope above the expedition team, looking at everyone.
"Oh my God, what kind of animal is that..."
"It can actually stand there, isn't it afraid of falling..."
"It's not small enough and can give us a good meal. Morgan, can you shoot it..."
"It's too steep there. It's useless to shoot it. It will fall..."
Morgan shook his head and spoke loudly.
Right now.
"Rumble..."
A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the dark sky.
Immediately afterwards, huge raindrops came crashing down.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
It was like a pouring water, no, it was not just like a pouring water, but it was as if a hole had been opened in the sky, and heavy rain poured down directly from the hole.
The rain hit everyone in the expedition team, and they couldn't even open their eyes for a while, let alone continue to move forward.
The world was immediately filled with mist.
The whole sky became darker and darker.
Thorin Oakenshield struggled to open his eyes, facing the heavy rain, and turned to the team members behind him who were unable to lift their heads due to the heavy rain: "We can't stop here!"
"Everyone stand up, hold on tight, and watch your step!"
"We have to keep going!"
Thorin Oakenshield's voice finally made everyone who was stunned quickly come back to their senses.
The expedition team continued to move forward arduously in the heavy rain.
At this moment, the dwarf Dvalin suddenly looked at the sky and his expression suddenly changed, and then he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Be careful!"
As soon as Dwalin spoke, everyone immediately raised their heads.
Then, I saw a huge, black thing, like a meteorite, flying towards the peak where everyone was from the towering mountain peak in the distance.
