In the forest.
Looking at the smiling expedition members riding on horses not far away.
Biong looked cold and said, "before you enter the dark forest, you should let go of my horses. They can find them by themselves."
Gandalf nodded and smiled, "of course, we are very happy to get your help. I promise you."
Between the two.
A raven with red eyes and dark body stopped on the top branch of a big tree opposite.
The Raven looked at the expedition below at random, squawked a few times, and soon spread its wings and flew away.
Looking at the flying raven, Gandalf didn't look very good.
You know, two days ago, the orc scouts came to the door after hearing the harsh cry.
Bi Weng, the skin changing man, had a lot to do with the orcs. He immediately noticed the difference and said, "I'm afraid you're being watched..."
Gandalf was still chatting with Bion.
In the team, everyone is waiting patiently.
Morgan was sitting on a snow-white horse checking his equipment.
A high elf sword was hung on one side of the waist, and a short sword was pinned on the other side.
There is a dagger pinned to the small foot of the lower body.
With a long bow and an empty quiver on his back.
Since the last arrow was used up a few days ago, it has not been replenished.
Even in the skin changing man biong, there is no arrow to add.
The best bow and arrow skill cannot be used.
Fortunately, he mastered the white crow sword very quickly.
In addition to the last great enhancement of attributes, there are four special skills.
Morgan's current melee strength has fully evaluated his strength in long-range bow and arrow, and even won.
In the face of the next dangerous journey in the dark and dense forest, it is also more secure.
Just thinking of the wood elves in the story in his mind, Morgan was a little worried.
He did not want to be arrested, nor did he want to rely on the kindness of others for his safety.
However, the route has been determined. Morgan is just a bounty hunter who works with money.
Even if the strength is extraordinary, it has a good position in the team.
But once Morgan wants to touch the team route and others, it is almost impossible.
Gandalf won't allow it, and Sorin oak shield won't allow it.
We can only go one step at a time.
Chewing on the beef jerky given by biong, Morgan thought secretly.
"Ouch..."
Just then, a familiar howl of terror suddenly sounded.
"No, this is the voice of the gangdaba wolf..."
"Damn it, the orcs won't catch up again..."
"We should go..."
"SOLIN..."
The dwarves spoke one after another.
The horse under him began to be a little restless because of the howling of the wolf.
Sorin oak shield couldn't wait at once. He immediately shouted in the distance, "Gandalf, we should go!"
Gandalf and biong, who heard the howling of a wolf, also changed their faces.
Biong immediately said, "go now while there is still sunshine."
Gandalf nodded, looked heavy and strode towards the team.
Not long.
The expedition rushed out of the forest and into the vast wilderness.
Fortunately, it was just in the morning.
The weather in late autumn is also very good.
The autumn sun hangs high, the wind is light and the clouds are light.
In such weather, the first thing the orcs have to face is the annoying sunshine.
The vast and flat wilderness with sparse trees is easy to walk.
Especially when riding a horse.
The location of biweng's house is not too far from the dark forest where the expedition is going.
It only took a little half a day.
Near afternoon.
The members of the expedition, who had been running for several hours, saw a vast forest from a distance.
"Is there a dark forest ahead?"
"Of course..."
"Thanks to the God of fate, we finally arrived safely..."
"Yes, I'm so lucky that I didn't see the orcs this time..."
“......”
As they got closer to the forest ahead, the dwarfs began to talk.
Just looking at the big forest ahead, listening to the discussion of the dwarves behind him, luck, Gandalf's complexion is getting heavier and heavier. He can't help but make complaints about his luck.
Soon, when the expedition people really reached the forest, everyone saw that there was something wrong with the forest in front of them.
The trees are withered and yellow, the soil is gray and black, you can't hear birds, and you can't see a little green.
This is not like a normal forest at all, but more like a dead forest with withered, sick and rotten smell.
At this time, in the late afternoon, the mid autumn sun hid in the thick clouds and disappeared.
The weather was gloomy, and the cold wind made the robes of the people riding on the horse roar.
Gandalf took the lead in getting off his horse and walked to the front road where man-made traces could be clearly seen.
Gandalf looked as he walked and stood in the middle of a dilapidated but delicate road. Gandalf turned and shouted to the people behind him, "this is the gate of elves, and the road through the dark forest is here."
Soon Gandalf thought of something again and continued to shout, "you can come down, take down the package, put the horses back and let them go back to their master."
Gandalf shouted and continued to move forward, observing the situation of the elf gate.
After listening to Gandalf's words, the people soon got off their horses and sorted out their packages.
"The forest feels sick. What do you think..."
"Indeed, it looks uncomfortable..."
"There's something wrong with the forest. Is there no other way..."
"You have to ask Gandalf and SOLIN about this..."
"We are not afraid of orcs. We are also afraid of a sick forest..."
“......”
The dwarfs were busy talking.
Morgan took the water bottle, the wine bottle and a small package, took the blanket off the horse's back, untied the reins, and finally slapped the horse on the ass.
Watch the white horse run far ahead.
Morgan also said: "of course we are not afraid of trouble, but it is better to avoid trouble. After all, it is very close to Turin."
At this time, Gandalf, who seemed to have found something, came with a serious face and shouted to Bahrain, who was loosening the reins for his horse: "leave my horse and I'll use it."
The voice fell and the others looked at it immediately.
Bill Blitzer asked, "Gandalf, aren't you going to abandon us?"
Gandalf looked heavy and shook his head: "if it's not impossible, I don't want to."
Morgan stepped forward and said, "do you have to leave?"
He has memories of the next plot in his memory.
Morgan really didn't want Gandalf to leave at this time if he could.
Gandalf shook his head, looked at Morgan and said in a deep voice, "I'm always at ease with you. Be careful when you enter the forest. And, look after SOLIN."
Gandalf whispered in Morgan's ear, patted Morgan on the shoulder and strode towards the horse.
As he passed by Sorin oak shield, he explained again.
When Gandalf turned over and got on his horse, he looked at the people and warned loudly, "this is no longer the green forest."
"There is a river in the forest. It is cursed by black magic. Remember not to touch the river."
"Also, the air in the forest is likely to make you hallucinate and get lost."
"Go straight along the road and remember not to deviate."
"Because once you deviate, it's hard for you to find the right way again."
"Remember, no matter what happens, don't leave the road!"
Gandalf finished and rode away.
SOLIN oak shield and Morgan marched into the dark forest.
