"No, we are not going to Thranduil's palace! Absolutely not!"
Facing Ji Mo's inquiry, after Thorin refused without hesitation, he may have felt that his tone was a bit too much, and then said to Ji Mo: "Sorry, Lord Kael'thas! Thranduil and I...".
"Well, in that case, you can stay one night outside the Woodland Hall. It's not too early now. Little Aragorn and I are going to visit some Thranduil. We will continue our journey tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Thorin thought for a while and agreed. There was still a lot of time before Turin Day, and they still had plenty of time.
Legolas was a little surprised to hear Thorin promised to end the season. He had heard from his father how bad-tempered and stubborn these dwarves were.
"I want to go see it!" Bilbo carefully proposed the idea that left Thorin speechless. Anyway, he was not a dwarf, and he had no hatred against the woodland elves. As an adventure trip, naturally he couldn't miss the woodland hall.
"Okay, then Bilbo, follow me and the teacher!" Little Aragorn pulled Bilbo and followed Ji Mo.
After making the decision, the group of people rushed towards the Woodland Hall. After the dwarves chose a campsite dozens of meters away from the Woodland Hall, they stayed in Soga to protect the dwarves at the end of the season. He and Legolas headed towards the Woodland Hall. Go.
Entering the woodland hall, Thranduil had already arrived. After greeting Ji Mo for a few words, he changed the subject and asked Ji Mo: "Kael'thas, I heard Legolas say that you are talking to Thor. My grandson, Thorin, are going on an adventure together, are you going to the Lonely Mountain?"
"Yes, I am also very curious about where the former King Under the Mountain is!"
"But, do you know there is Smaug there? It's very dangerous there. Those dwarves wouldn't hide such important information from you!" Thranduil asked worriedly.
Although the two are not elves of the same race, Ji Mo has a close relationship with their clan, and they are elves anyway. Naturally, they are better than the stubborn and hateful dwarves in his eyes. Naturally, he does not want Ji Mo to be affected by The deception of the dwarves.
"Huh?" He was slightly stunned by Thranduil's kindness at this time. Ji Mo shook his head slightly and said: "No! I know all these things!".
"Now that you know, why do you still go there? Is there anything that attracts you there?" Thranduil asked puzzledly. Having seen and fought with giant dragons, he understood the terrifying power of giant dragons. If there wasn't a reason why he had to go, the end of the season wouldn't be so unwise in his eyes.
"That's right!" Ji Mo smiled and didn't explain much.
Seeing that Ji Mo knew the vital point, but didn't seem to care much, and seemed to have to go, Thranduil did not continue to ask. Asking would be crossing the line and not trusting the other party's judgment.
"Since you have already made your plans, I won't ask any questions! Have a good night's rest, I think you are tired too!"
"Thanks!"
After saying thank you, the group walked towards the depths of the forest hall.
The room he lived in at the end of the season was still the room he had lived in before, and little Aragorn lived with Bilbo. After dinner and a casual chat with Thranduil for a while, he looked for opportunities to increase his mental power. After teaching Legolas the meditation method, he returned to his room at the end of the season.
After cultivating his internal strength as usual, Ji Mo closed his eyes, but in the middle of the night, he heard a burst of footsteps approaching from far away, although light but hurried.
"Is it Legolas?"
After a brief identification, Ji Mo silently came to the door, and when Legolas knocked on the door, he opened the door first.
"What's wrong? Legolas?"
"Lord Kael'thas, Gandalf is here and brings bad news! He is waiting for you now!"
"Gandalf?"
At the end of the season, I was stunned. According to the plot, didn't Gandalf go to the highlands of Dol Guldur now? Now that it appears here, so has the plot changed?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ji Mo said, "Take me there!".
"Yes!" Legolas nodded and led the way.
After walking through the long passage and crossing the stone bridge over the underground river flowing in the Woodland Hall, they arrived at the meeting hall in the Woodland Hall after walking quickly for two minutes.
At this time, Gandalf was walking back and forth, looking very anxious. What could make Gandalf so anxious? Ji Mo was a little curious.
"Gandalf! Why are you back!?"
Ji Mo asked, causing Gandalf's movement to stop abruptly. Gandalf quickly turned around, the anxious look on his face eased, and then said: "Kael'thas, things are not going well. The orc army is going to the Lonely Mountain." Got it!".
"What?" he said in surprise at the end of the season. In the original plot, didn't the orc army wait for Smaug to die before going to the Lonely Mountain? Why did you go to Gushan now?
"On the way to Dol Guldur, I met the brown-robed mage Radagast. He discovered traces of the orc army! So I returned the same way with the news!"
"What about Dol Guldur?"
"I asked Radagast to rush to Rivendell, and Elrond will naturally handle it in Dol Guldur!" Gandalf briefly explained the current situation, then turned to Thranduil and said: "Your Majesty, please let the army resist the orc army!".
Thranduil, who was sitting on the throne, held his forehead, gave Gandalf a deep kiss, and then said: "If it is to fight against the orcs, I am naturally bound to do it, but I have not seen any trace of the orcs, so , are you telling the truth, or are you hiding your true purpose?"
"The real purpose?" Gandalf was a little confused.
Thranduil sat up straight, saw Gandalf and said: "The goal of you and your dwarf friends is Erub of the Lonely Mountain...".
"You actually suspect that my real purpose of using the orcs' excuse to send you troops is to help the dwarves fight against Smaug!?" Gandalf's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Gandalf would be suspected like this one day.
"After all, I haven't received any news from the orcs. The safety of our clan comes first. For this reason, even if I have to explore your purpose from another direction, the evil direction!" Thrandu Yi paused. He continued: "Besides, there is Smaug in the Lonely Mountain. There should be nothing there that the orcs want to get. What reason do they have to go to the Lonely Mountain? Are they looking for death!?" Thranduil gently pressed the armrest and said finally , stood up involuntarily.
Hearing this, Gandalf was extremely angry, and his beard fell down, looking very angry.
"What if the Orcs had an agreement with Smaug?"
At this moment, Ji Mo's deep voice slowly sounded in the hall, causing the two men who were fighting cocks to finally look away and focus on Ji Mo.
