The dragon's power was gone, and one of the spare ingredients was burnt. Russell was heartbroken, threw Frodo aside in a depressed mood, and dominated the last nightmare.
He was heartless, and his sorrow came and went quickly. When he saw everyone following the nightmare, especially the dwarf Gimli, who was half dead from exhaustion and foaming at the mouth, his depressed mood immediately improved a lot.
Singing love songs when you are sad will only make you sadder. Only when you see other unlucky people, your mood will turn cloudy.
"Russell, what did you just see?"
Stopping again to repair, Gandalf came to Russell's side. He was worthy of being a leader among mages. The dwarf warrior was about to run and broke his leg. He was still not flushed and out of breath, as if he had just finished his warm-up.
Russell frowned: "I saw the Eye of Sauron, and Sauron. The shadow condensed by darkness should be him."
Gandalf was unlucky secretly. Russell saw Sauron, which meant that Sauron also saw him. The whereabouts of the Fellowship of the Ring were exposed and they could no longer continue along the original planned route.
Gandalf pondered for a moment, made a decision in his mind, and continued to ask: "Did Sauron say anything to you?"
"As I said, he asked me to take the Supreme Lord of the Rings to Mordor and give me the power of the dragon..." At this point, Russell suddenly became heartbroken and slapped Gandalf on the thigh: "Look at me. I was about to agree, but for some reason, lard had deceived my heart and rejected Sauron's kindness. Now that I think about it, my heart feels like a knife, and I regret it so much!"
Gandalf: (◣灬◢)
Let me tell you, if I hadn't stopped the last valley meeting in Rivendell, you would have been beaten to death. I regret it now!
…
"Our action route is exposed. Sauron will definitely set up many obstacles to regain the Supreme Lord of the Rings. The power of darkness cannot act in the daytime, but Saruman the White Robe's orc army is not afraid. This will be the biggest challenge of our trip. Obstacle," said Gandalf.
"so what should I do now?"
"The only option is to go through the mines of Moria!" The plan to quietly enter the village failed, and powerful enemies were lurking on the road ahead. Gandalf was unwilling and had no choice but to change his route.
Everyone changed direction, no longer climbing the Snowy Mountains, and headed south along the Misty Mountains, passing through the Moria mines below, and finally arrived at the Pass of Rohan.
Moria is the largest underground city in the northwest of Middle-earth. It contains a massive network of tunnels, rooms, mines and halls. It has been the residence of people descended from the dwarves Turin for thousands of years.
The dwarves are very capable of digging holes. A network of tunnels has been drilled through the highest mountain, 'Callanras Mountain', with endless steps leading from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The Fellowship of the Ring only needs to cross the endless stairs to cross this highest peak and reach the next point of refuge, Lothlorien Forest, where the powerful magical queen Galadriel lives.
Before dark, everyone rushed to the Moria Mine and climbed the stairs to the mountainside.
A deep lake looms in front of you, possibly due to the influence of mineral veins. The water in the lake is as black as ink, and with the clouds covering the top, the lake looks quiet and strange.
Behind the lake, steep peaks rise vertically, clearly carved by dwarves. Gandalf came to the center of two green trees, groped on the wall for a moment, and found the entrance to the mines of Moria.
"The Gate of Ithildin only reflects the light of the stars and the moon..." Gandalf frowned and quickly said with relief: "This is a mechanism set up by the dwarves. You need a secret code to enter. Let's wait here for a while. When the clouds dissipate, , you can see the puzzle.”
As soon as the words fell, the dark clouds in the sky quietly drifted away, a ray of quiet moonlight fell, and the Gate of Ithildin immediately lit up. Gandalf also saw the puzzle set by the dwarves.
Gandalf put his hands on his hips and secretly thought that God would give him face and read out the riddle: "Gate of Turin, Lord of Moria, say friend, and then enter... it's so easy!"
As a learned wise man, Gandalf felt that this door was an insult to his intelligence, so he raised his staff against the Gate of Ithildin and uttered a long spell.
Full of joy, he waited for the door to open, but a long time passed, and the Gate of Ithildin did not move at all. Gandalf frowned and thought hard, changed several spells in succession, and spoke almost all the dwarven languages he knew, but there was no response from the Gate of Ithildin.
"It's so strange. It shouldn't be like this..." Gandalf took off his wizard hat and turned around and said, "Wait a minute. This door is not that simple. Remember not to provoke the people in the lake..."
Turning around, Gandalf was stunned. There was no one around him. Frodo and four people set up pots to light a fire, Russell stood by the lake and directed, while Aragorn, Boromir and others went down to the lake to capture the Octopus.
Gandalf: "..."
Feelings, have I just been talking to the air?
"Aragorn, Boromir, and Gimli, the three of you enter the water to fight. Be careful not to let the octopus escape. Legolas, you and I provide remote support. Don't alert the snake and wait for it to show up before attacking. Russell clapped his hands and said loudly: "Guys, whether we can have extra meals tonight depends on your performance."
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"If we all work together, we will surely have midnight snacks ready in minutes. Remember, we are the Fellowship of the Ring, and we must unite to fight!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Gandalf: "..."
Feeling an inexplicable pain in his chest, Gandalf wanted to catch these people and beat them up, and ask them what they were here for.
Also, when did he, as the leader of the Fellowship of the Ring, begin to be sidelined?
"Hoo, ho, don't be angry, don't be angry!"
After groaning for a while, Gandalf sat cross-legged on the ground speechlessly. As a mature Maia, he had never seen anything bad happen, so there was no need to get angry over such a trivial matter.
Rumble————
Water splashed everywhere, a low roar sounded, and the lake boiled instantly. Seven or eight huge tentacles rushed out of the water and rolled towards the three of Aragorn.
"drink!"
The sharp long sword swept across, and a ferocious-shaped tentacle broke off immediately. The severed limb fell into the water and twisted and jumped, spewing out thick black juice.
The octopus in the lake is obviously a mutated species. There are spines on the tentacles, and the tip position has changed into a palm with a suction cup, which makes people's scalp numb.
Is it as long as you agreed?
The Octopus appeared, and Aragorn, Boromir, and Gimli shouted loudly. They were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles. The three of them joined forces and quickly cut off five or six tentacles.
Boom! ! !
The octopus was in pain, and its huge body came out of the water. Under its ferocious face, it roared with a bloody mouth, rolled up the rolling lake water into a big wave, and rushed towards the three people.
"Legolas, kill it!"
As soon as Russell spoke, the Elf Prince shot three arrows in succession, with a layer of white light attached to the tip of the sword. Two arrows penetrated the octopus's eyes, and the last one pierced its open mouth.
The octopus let out a wail of pain and was surrounded by the three men of Aragorn with grins. A flurry of swords and giant axes chopped it into sashimi slices, ending its short life as the overlord of the lake.
"More food! More food!!"
Boromir, the son of the regent, cheered. It was obviously a long and arduous journey, but he had gained weight. Among everyone, excluding the four Frodos, he was the last in terms of strength. He was tortured by the wizard Gandalf in arm wrestling. He felt ashamed of this and secretly vowed to catch up.
How to rush?
Of course he eats it. You can become stronger by eating whatever you want. He likes eating it the most!
In this regard, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli all agreed, but there was one thing to note: unlike the hobbits, who were greedy for food and drink, they ate and drank in order to become stronger.
Becoming stronger comes at a cost, and they made huge sacrifices, such as weight.
The Elf Prince has developed in a rounded direction. Gimli was originally a dwarf, but now he is even more spherical. Aragorn is also in a dilemma, with the flesh on the back of his neck raised and his chin lowered.
Everyone sat in a circle around the bonfire, each holding a small bowl. Gandalf's liver ached when he saw it. Are these people really ready to wake up?
"We can't let them continue like this. Comfort will make people corrupt and lower their vigilance..." Gandalf sighed, let him bear the consequences of all sins!
Thinking of this, I squeezed in with the bowl in hand.
