The night outside the window is getting darker and darker.
The entire Bag End fell into darkness the moment Morgan turned off the lights.
Morgan quickly approached the low window, stood outside the window and looked out carefully.
Gandalf frowned and let go of the hobbit Sam in front of him, signaling him to be silent.
Frodo looked nervously at everything in front of him.
Although I had heard uncle Bilbo tell some adventure stories before.
But everything that happened tonight, especially the horror of the Supreme Lord of the Rings that he picked up after being informed by Gandalf, had broken his understanding of the world.
As for Samwise Gum Guitar, it was simply a disaster.
He originally just wanted to come and play with Frodo.
After all, tonight is Bilbo's birthday party.
Who knew that when he was preparing to surprise Frodo outside the window, he heard something strange.
Moreover, he was addicted to it and kept listening without making a sound.
Then, because he squatted under the window for too long, his feet became numb and made a little noise, so he was discovered by the human and was arrested.
For that tall human there is also the wizard Gandalf.
All the hobbits in Hobbiton were a little afraid.
Everyone in Hobbiton knew that both of them were Bilbo's adventure partners and would visit Bilbo from time to time.
However, some older hobbits remember it clearly.
Sixty years ago, that human and wizard appeared in Hobbiton.
At that time, the humans and wizards looked like what they are now.
Sixty years have passed now.
The humans and wizards are still the same as before, and they haven't aged at all.
How could this not surprise and frighten all the hobbits in Hobbiton?
As a result, in the rumors of other Hobbitons, these two people became beings with terrifying abilities.
Also because of the arrival of these two people.
Even the "Sackville Baggins family", the relatives who had a rift with Bilbo, did not dare to come to Bilbo to ask for the inheritance of the house due to such good opportunities these days.
Sam didn't know much about either of them. What he knew was from listening to other adults chatting in the tavern.
Now looking at these two men as if facing a formidable enemy, Sam was extremely nervous.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse hooves comes from far to near.
It is particularly clear in such a silent night.
But gradually, as the sound of horse hooves got closer, several people in Bag End heard another sound, the rolling sound of wheels.
This discovery made Morgan at the window look slightly relaxed.
Not long after, he saw a small carriage pulled by two horses on the road outside the window, driving towards Bag End at a constant speed.
The sound of hoofbeats and wheels became louder and louder.
Soon, the small carriage drove through Bag End and headed for the road ahead.
Morgan watched the back of the carriage go away, and then slowly released his hand from the hilt of the sword.
"Frodo, light the lamp."
Morgan looked away and said casually.
Frodo immediately walked quickly to the long table and lit the two large candlestick lamps.
Watching the light return to the dark Bag End.
The two hobbits, Frodo and Sam, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it was a false alarm.
But no one thinks Morgan is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Frodo had been frightened by what Gandalf had said before.
Sam was still nervous. He still didn't know how these people would punish him for eavesdropping.
Gandalf finally confirmed that the ring was the One Ring.
The vigilance has already been raised to the highest level.
There can be no surprises in the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
What he was most fortunate about at this time was that Morgan was by his side at this time.
Because Morgan has always shown great strength and completely trustworthy ability.
Not only does it make Bilbo feel safe when he sees Morgan, it also makes Gandalf feel safe.
He will next go to Isengard (Isengard) to seek help from the white-robed wizard Saruman, the president of the White Council.
Although he had never liked Saruman very much, no, he couldn't use the word "like", it would be more appropriate to say "unwilling".
Yes, Gandalf has always been reluctant to work with the white wizard Saruman.
However, now that the Supreme Lord of the Rings has been discovered.
Regardless of whether Gandalf likes Saruman or not, such a major event must be reported to the Chief Wizard of the White Council.
I believe that Saruman's ability and wisdom will give him the best solution.
Gandalf is leaving, and his old friend Morgan is naturally the best person to protect Frodo.
But not before that.
He had to deal with the little hobbit who had overheard important news.
Gandalf glanced at Morgan and saw that Morgan shook his head slightly to indicate that it was okay.
He immediately walked up to Sam, with a low expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Samwise Gamgee, have you been eavesdropping just now?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping, I...I was just hoeing, I swear."
Looking at the angry and tall wizard Sam in front of him, what he was most worried about finally happened. He looked horrified and quickly gave out the best explanation he could think of.
"Is there anyone weeding so late?"
"Or do you want to deceive me and say, what on earth did you hear?"
Gandalf looked at the little hobbit in front of him with an extremely "angry" expression and said angrily.
"I...I heard some things, but I really didn't eavesdrop..."
The wizard in front of him was getting more and more angry, and Sam trembled and immediately admitted.
"Say, what did you hear?"
"I heard the Lord of the Rings, and Sauron, and the end of the world..."
"I really didn't want to eavesdrop..."
"Please, Lord Gandalf, don't hurt me, don't turn me into a sheep or a pig or something."
"Hmph, you gave me a heads up."
"I won't turn you into a pig or sheep, but you have a greater use..."
Gandalf looked at the little hobbit in front of him and spoke gloomily.
Sam was so frightened that he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only agree.
Back to the table.
The atmosphere among the four people sitting around the long table was heavy.
Gandalf was still continuing the unfinished message for Frodokop.
When Gandalf finished speaking.
Frodo looked ugly and immediately pushed the ring in front of him towards Gandalf. Gandalf was frightened and quickly backed away and shook his head.
"Uncle Morgan, take it."
Seeing Gandalf dodge, Frodo immediately placed the One Ring in front of Morgan.
Morgan also immediately stepped back and said, "Frodo, it's not that we don't want to take it."
"But neither Gandalf nor I can take the Lord of the Rings, and we dare not take it."
"Because once we take it, this Ring will emit unimaginable evil power through us."
"So, only you, and only you, can hold this ring."
Morgan looked at Frodo and spoke in a deep voice.
These words made Frodo's face look even uglier, and he immediately said: "The evils Gandalf said will come soon, so don't we have to leave here?"
"Yes, we must leave, and the sooner the better."
Gandalf nodded and said, then stood up and looked at the three of them and said, "You leave now."
"Morgan, take them to Bree first and wait for me at the Prancing Pony Inn."
"I need to get away."
Gandalf said and turned to leave.
When Morgan heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Where are you going?"
Gandalf turned his head, looked at Morgan and said quickly: "I need to go to Isengard to find the wizard chief. He will tell us what to do."
"The chief wizard is the white-robed wizard Saruman?"
As soon as Gandalf mentioned this name, Morgan immediately asked.
He had heard Gandalf mention the name before, so it wouldn't be out of the blue to ask.
"Yes, you may not know much about him, but with the wisdom and power of the wizard chief, he will tell us how to deal with the Supreme Lord of the Rings."
Gandalf nodded and said.
But the scene from the memory plot immediately appeared in Morgan's mind.
That is, Gandalf will be defeated and imprisoned by Saruman when he goes to Isengard to find Saruman.
Because at this time Saruman had rebelled.
But even though Morgan knew that Saruman had rebelled, he could not say anything more.
Because he couldn't give a reason.
Saruman's identity is not ordinary: first of all, like Gandalf, his true identity is also a Maya descended to earth, and he is also a white-robed wizard who is the head of the five Mayar wizards who descended to earth;
Control Isengard (Isengard), the most powerful council in the entire Middle-earth world, the president of the Holy White Council (White Council).
Members of the White Council: Elf Queen Galadriel; Eldron the Elf Lord of Rivendell; Saruman the White Wizard; Gandalf the Gray Wizard; Radagast the Brown Wizard; Qil, Lord of the Gray Harbor Dan;
The above members are the ones whose identities are relatively obvious.
But there are more than just these members of the Holy White Council, and some are other elven lords.
From these we can see the power of the Holy White Council.
Saruman's ability to become the president of such a powerful council shows his extraordinary strength and ability.
There is no definite evidence.
Morgan would not be foolish enough to slander Saruman.
But it was not all bad for Gandalf to go to Isengard, at least he knew about Saruman's betrayal.
And at most, he was beaten by Saruman just like in the plot, which was nothing serious.
Thinking of this, Morgan looked at Gandalf and nodded: "Okay then."
"I will take them to the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree. You should be careful."
"By the way, do we really need to take him with us?"
Morgan said as he suddenly looked at Sam who was concentrating on the food.
Sam almost jumped up when he heard Morgan's words.
"After knowing important information, if it is useless, you will be silenced and killed. This is what the book says..."
"Isn't that what the person in front of me means now?"
Sam was frightened and stood up quickly before anyone else could speak. Looking at Morgan, he said nervously: "Uncle Morgan, take me with you. I'm very useful. I can cook. I'm very strong. I can carry things. I can ..."
"I still have many things, please don't leave me behind!"
Sam's nervous and somewhat incoherent voice immediately made several people laugh.
"Since Sam is so useful, then take him with you."
"I'm leaving now. See you at the Prancing Pony Inn then."
Gandalf said with a smile, then turned and walked quickly towards the door.
After the sound of the door creaking, Gandalf's movement quickly disappeared.
Inside Bag End.
Morgan picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the fruit wine in one gulp. Then he looked at the two little hobbits in front of him and said, "Are you full? When you are full, prepare to pack your things. We will leave overnight."
"Eat enough, eat enough."
Sam said and immediately turned around to leave.
Morgan quickly grabbed him and asked coldly: "Where do you want to go?"
Sam was obviously a little afraid of the human Morgan in front of him, who would never age in the eyes of other people in Hobbiton. He quickly said: "I'll go back and pack my things."
"No, I don't have that much time for you."
"You pack here, Frodo, and give him two of your clothes."
"Anyway, your height and body shape are not much different."
When Morgan said this, Sam dared to resist and nodded quickly.
Frodo was holding back a laugh. He knew that Uncle Morgan was obviously trying to scare Sam, so he said, "Sam, come with me."
The two hobbits went to clean up.
Morgan walked to the dining table, poured himself a full glass of fruit wine again, and drank it.
Then he got up and walked towards Bilbo's food storage place.
What followed was another long and arduous journey.
The food that Morgan had stored when he left the Woodland Kingdom was exhausted after three or four months of travel, and there was not much left.
At this time, you should make a good supplement.
When I came to the food storage room, I looked at the little food left in front of me.
Morgan sighed.
Apparently tonight's birthday party had nearly emptied Bilbo's food reserves.
With just a wave of his hand, a few plates of pastries and sausages, and the cheese immediately disappeared from the storage shelf.
After quickly sweeping away the food in the storage room, Morgan walked to the long table.
He waved his hand again, and the two large plates of fruit on the long table disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Sam, who had finished cleaning up, walked out of the inner room and saw the scene of Morgan collecting food. His eyes widened and he was speechless.
"What's wrong Sam?"
At this time, Frodo came from behind with a backpack on his back and looked at Sam's strange behavior and asked.
"I, I, I saw Uncle Morgan performing magic..."
Sam stammered, pointing at Morgan.
Morgan said without looking back: "Have you two packed up?"
Frodo said at once: "It will be soon."
at this time.
A chaotic sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the window.
Morgan's expression changed.
He quickly walked to the window and looked out.
Then, on the dim road far in front of Bag End, he saw tall, dark figures on horses galloping towards Bag End.
Morgan's eyes widened, and he realized something in an instant. He immediately turned his head and shouted at the two hobbits behind him: "Don't worry about anything!"
"Leave now, leave immediately!"
Morgan shouted and immediately picked up the bench next to him and slammed it against the window.
"boom..."
A large hole was immediately smashed into the window of Bag End.
"quick!"
Morgan yelled at the two hobbits, and only then did Frodo and Sam react.
He rushed over immediately and jumped out of the window.
Morgan immediately followed out the window.
"Uncle Morgan, where are we going now?"
Frodo, who looked extremely nervous, asked immediately.
"Go to Bree and follow."
Morgan just glanced at the black knights who were getting closer and closer behind him, then immediately turned around and ran in the other direction.
Frodo and Sam followed immediately.
The movement in Bag End immediately attracted the attention of the black knights running forward.
Seeing someone escaping in front of them, the black knights immediately screamed and accelerated toward the three figures in front.
Morgan quickly rushed up the hillside and ran towards the woods ahead.
At the critical moment, Frodo and Sam were both very fast.
But he could barely keep up with Morgan.
The three fled very quickly.
But a group of Nazgul riding on evilly modified black horses are faster.
Morgan rushed into the woods with the two hobbits.
A group of black knights had already rushed up the hillside and rushed towards the three of them.
"ah..."
The ear-piercing screams kept sounding.
He looked at Frodo and Sam who were panicking beside them, and at the Nazgul who were galloping behind them.
Morgan immediately realized that the three of him could not outrun the Nazgul.
So, he suddenly stopped and reached out to touch the long bow on his back.
"Uncle Morgan!"
Frodo, who ran out with an anxious look on his face, immediately turned around and shouted.
"Go to the place we agreed on!"
"I'll go there and look for you!"
"Let's go!"
Morgan yelled without looking back. After speaking, he pulled out two arrows and shot them at the oncoming black knight.
