Chapter 241

After a thrilling accident passed, others also arrived here.

Looking at the corpses of trolls on the ground, Gandalf was solemn and showed surprise at Wayne's combat power.

Compared with ordinary orcs, the combat power of trolls is obviously much stronger, and the skin is very rough, the outer skin is very hard, and it has the ability similar to petrified skin. It is difficult to be seriously injured by ordinary swords, and it takes many warriors to work together to defeat this monster.

Unexpectedly, it was all killed by Wayne so easily, and one of them was directly blown into flesh and blood, and also emitted a burnt smell, obviously not killed by ordinary means.

"It's a mountain troll. They are the minions of darkness and often act with orcs. I didn't expect that the power of darkness would spread here so soon."

Speaking of this, Gandalf took out the map he carried with him, and with the light of the campfire, watched it with Thorin and Wayne and others.

The location they are currently in is about a few days' journey from Rivendell. Gandalf pointed to Rivendell and said to Thorin:

"Thorin, regarding the secret text left by your father, perhaps we can go to Rivendell and seek the help of the Elf King Elrond."

"He is the most learned and wisest scholar in Middle-earth and should be able to answer this difficult problem for us."

However, Thorin expressed opposition when he heard the word elf. This prince was still brooding over the elf clan's failure to save him when the Lonely Mountain was captured by Smaug.

As the creation of the Creator God, the elf clan has a unique status in Middle-earth, and the relationship between dwarves and the elf clan is very complex. There are both cooperation and contradictions between them, which have been entangled for tens of thousands of years.

After listening to Gandalf's speech, Wayne knocked on the map thoughtfully and said: "Rivendell in the valley?"

"I am very interested in this place, and after traveling for so long, we should also go to the town to buy some supplies."

"Presumably this respectable Elf King Elrond will be willing to give some food and fine wine to us warriors who are crusading against the evil dragon Smaug."

Gandalf nodded immediately upon hearing this. Among this group of people, as a wizard who has lived for tens of thousands of years, he is most familiar with the Elf King Elrond and knows the character of this king very well, knowing that this half-elf king is absolutely willing to help anyone who opposes the dark forces.

And the key information to deal with Smaug is on that map. For this problem, he will not let Thorin be stubborn.

Seeing that Thorin and other dwarves were still full of reluctance, Wayne thought for a while and revealed half-truthfully: "Actually, I have another piece of news, and I plan to tell you after confirming it."

"However, it just so happens that I met a troll today, and I estimate that this news should be correct."

In the getting along of this journey, the strength and magical power shown by Wayne won everyone's attention. For what he said, no one dared to ignore it.

Gandalf touched his beard and asked:

"What did you find, Wayne?"

Wayne looked at everyone and didn't hide it, saying directly: "Everyone should have discovered that I can talk to animals. This is my beast language ability. I often let the birds nearby help us explore the road ahead and inquire about various information."

"Recently, some birds told me that in the distance behind us, many other people's figures appeared. They were wearing armor, looked different from us, held weapons, and had wolf-like mounts beside them."

"Now it seems that those things should be orcs. These monsters noticed our whereabouts and are trying to track us, preparing to attack us."

Hearing Wayne's words, everyone was shocked. Gandalf's face sank and he immediately asked: "Are you sure, Wayne? How far are they from us?"

Thorin's face also changed suddenly. Among this group of people, Gandalf didn't look like he had much combat power, and other dwarves, although their physical fitness was very good, only had weapons in their hands. The only ones with armor were him and Wayne. If facing the siege of orcs, it is estimated that it would be difficult to hold on.

In fact, the orcs haven't found them yet, but according to the development of the original book, this is just a matter of these few days.

Wayne said vaguely: "It's about a day or two away. Although animals are smart, they don't have such high intelligence, and many questions cannot be answered."

Facing such a dangerous situation, Thorin and the dwarves no longer insisted. After all, the ones they have a gap with are the elves in the Mirkwood, not the elves in Rivendell.

Dwarves are stubborn by nature, but they are not lunatics or fools. Although seeking the help of elves makes them a bit awkward and embarrassed, for the sake of this Lonely Mountain task, some problems have to be done even if they are difficult.

Unlike others' worries, in fact, Wayne wished that those orcs would come to him quickly, so that he could let go of his hands and feet, kill to his heart's content.

In his view, with the assistance of the Deathclaw Robin, even if the orcs sent an army of hundreds, it would be impossible to defeat him, and they would only be slowly eliminated by him using various means.

Of course, if it were really an army, he estimated that he would not have such great ability to be distracted to protect others in the expedition team in the battle, and could only rely on themselves to seek their own happiness.

Soon, under Gandalf's guidance, everyone traveled for two more days and came to an open rocky plain. However, just after everyone arrived here, an old man wearing a tattered brown robe, full of bird droppings on his hair, smelling of wild beasts, and driving a wooden trailer pulled by a huge wild rabbit came over.

He was thin, spoke incoherently, but after seeing Gandalf, he was quite excited, immediately squeezed away the surrounding dwarves, ran to the side of the gray wizard, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

But when the words reached his lips, this guy forgot, just vaguely said:

"Gandalf, I came to find you to tell you a piece of news, but when the words reached my lips, it's a strange thing, I don't know what to say."

"Oh my! What news, I actually forgot, this news is very important, I clearly remembered it very seriously in my heart!"

This old man was crazy, his appearance also looked very sloppy, and that special rabbit cart made the members of the expedition team look at it with amazement.

Seeing him, Gandalf immediately explained to others in the team:

"This is the brown wizard Radagast, who has been monitoring the whereabouts of the orcs in the forest."

Hearing the name of the brown wizard, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Wayne looked at this old man with great interest, feeling quite interesting.

There are five wizards in Middle-earth. The most famous is of course the model worker Gandalf. This old guy can be said to be the most active wizard. In the original book, he always acts as a military advisor and wise man, always guiding everyone to work together to fight against the dark forces.

Next is the white wizard Saruman who will rebel later. This wizard's strength is much stronger than Gandalf, but, powerful in strength, weak in heart, as a secondary god Maia sent by the Creator God to maintain the order of Middle-earth, he actually surrendered to Sauron because of fear and became a traitor.

Finally, there is this brown wizard Radagast. This guy is not so much a wizard as a druid. His main ability is to communicate with other various creatures. Later, he even called a large group of Ents to help deal with orcs, which is also a key role.

As for the other two blue wizards, whether in the original book or in the movie, the specific situation of these two characters is not mentioned. It is estimated that they are either dead long ago or surrendered to the dark side.

After introducing the brown wizard, Gandalf walked to his side, then found a stick insect from Radagast's mouth and took it out.

It turned out that this old fool swallowed a bug into his mouth, which led to his strange performance now.

And after taking out the bug, Radagast also returned to normal and began to tell Gandalf and everyone about the news he got.

First, as Gandalf predicted, more and more dark forces began to spread from Mordor, and many orcs had left their lair and began to kill and loot in various places.

Not only that, more and more evil, evil spirits, and other various evil forces were slowly waking up, like spiders, undead, twisted creatures, all kinds of things, very terrifying.

Secondly, and most importantly, in the dark capital Dol Guldur, Radagast discovered the trace of an evil necromancer and also got an evil magic sword from there. All signs indicate that the dark tyrant Sauron who had died was quietly recovering, and with the awakening of this dark tyrant, the dark power of the entire Middle-earth world would also make a comeback.

Hearing this news, everyone was a bit shocked, and Gandalf's face was the most solemn. The dark tyrant Sauron is the enemy of all races in Middle-earth.

Once, in order to eliminate this monster, countless heroes and warriors sacrificed. Now this monster will wake up again, which foreshadows that a new war between darkness and light has begun to brew quietly.

And just then, everyone suddenly heard an extremely fierce roar, as if it were a roar from an ancient giant beast.

Just when they were at a loss and guessing wildly, Wayne's expression moved, and he took out the huge Oath of Victory Sword from his space bracelet and said to everyone:

"It's the message sent by Robin, it found the orcs."

"You hide here for now, don't run around."

"Wait until I kill those orcs, then you come out."

Speaking of this, he didn't care what reaction others had, directly threw out the magic flying carpet, and then in everyone's surprised eyes, flew towards the direction where the huge roar came from.

And not long after he left, Thorin and others were unwilling to let their allies fight alone, and immediately followed the direction Wayne left with the other two wizards, all the dwarves, and Bilbo.

However, before they got close, they were immediately shocked by the scene that appeared in front of them.

On an open plain, dozens of Wargs were not attacking the enemy, but were just fleeing desperately.

Behind them, the Deathclaw Robin, with a huge body, bulging muscles, and sharp claws, was killing these beasts quickly like a tiger dealing with a group of rabbits.
