It was dusk and it was dark.
It was even darker in the towering dense forest.
The four of Morgan's team looked at the empty and dilapidated wooden house in front of them and said that it was false not to be disappointed.
Gandalf had vowed before that there was hot food and a safe place to rest.
But it was clear that Gandalf's friend had moved away.
But even so, few people would have no opinion of Gandalf.
Gandalf certainly didn't want that.
He himself obviously didn't know much about his friend's situation.
"He should have left."
"But I have a friend..."
"You've all met this friend. He doesn't live too far from here."
Gandalf said, turning to look at the three.
Morgan's eyes were receding from the dark forest around him.
According to the memory of the plot, he had roughly guessed the friend Gandalf was looking for in the forest.
It should be his good friend: ridagast, the brown wizard.
Ridagast, one of the five wizards who came to the Middle Earth world, is known as "forest Guardian" and "friend of the forest".
"Have we met?"
Bilbo said suspiciously and immediately turned to Gandalf: "who?"
Morgan and tarrell also looked at Gandalf.
"The skin changing man biong."
Gandalf nodded and continued, "he lives nearby, not too far."
"If you want to have a good sleep, it's definitely the safest place in biong."
Hear Gandalf.
Morgan and Bilbo both remembered who they were.
It was before the expedition reached the dark forest that they were chased and killed by the orcs and hid in the skin changing house who could turn into a giant bear.
Morgan remembered that the last time he saw each other was on the battle field of Raven ridge in Gushan more than half a month ago.
He was impressed by the scene that the other party turned into a giant bear and ran amok in the orc army, tearing the orcs by hand.
"How long will it take if we go now?"
Morgan just thought about it and asked immediately.
He was chased and killed by giant dark demonized spider monsters all over the mountains for several days.
Several people are now exhausted.
The same is true of himself.
If the shelter of the leather changers is really not far away, in order to have a good rest, you might as well catch a way in the dark.
But if you have to walk for most of the day like you did here before, forget it.
Driving in the dark at night is no better than during the day.
Listen to Morgan.
Bilbo and tarrell also looked at Gandalf immediately.
"If it's daytime, it should take only half a day to arrive."
Gandalf thought a little and said, "now, it should take half a day or so. As long as you get out of the jungle, you'll be soon."
"It will take half a day..."
"I think it's better to rest in this empty house tonight."
"I'll go to the leather man biong tomorrow morning."
"What do you think?"
Hearing Gandalf's words, Morgan shook his head slightly, looked at the three and said.
Different from the previous expedition.
Although the four man team is ostensibly dominated by Gandalf.
But every time he made a decision, Gandalf obviously asked Morgan first.
If they both agree, they basically decide one thing.
But when something important happens, if Morgan and Gandalf disagree, they will ask Bilbo and tarrell.
Like now.
"I also think we should stop and have a good rest."
"We are so tired."
Faced with this problem, Bilbo quickly gave his answer.
When it was tarrell's turn, tarrell also said he wanted to stay and rest.
The reason is also tired.
Not long.
A bonfire rose in the middle of the slightly dilapidated wooden house.
A bonfire rack was set up above the bonfire, on which a cooking pot was hung.
The water in the boiler was taken out of the river a few days ago and put into Morgan's dimensional ring before entering the dark forest and rotten mountains.
Just to cope with this situation.
The warm soup made of turnips and vegetables and dried meat made several people feel very comfortable. At the same time, they all lamented the convenience of Morgan's magic ring.
Barren mountains and forests, the cold wind is howling outside.
And from time to time there was a strange howl.
The extremely tired people hid in the wooden house and could drink a bowl of steaming broth.
That kind of warm and comfortable, only the people concerned really know.
Time passed slowly.
When the four had enough to eat and drink, they were ready to rest and sleep.
No one is in the mood to talk more at this time.
It was supposed to be Morgan's watch tonight.
But Gandalf offered to let him watch the night.
The reason is that he is not so tired and can't sleep.
Faced with Gandalf's reason, Morgan did not grind, and soon laid down a blanket near tarrell.
These days, facing the pursuit of those giant demonized spider monsters.
He has always been the most tired and dangerous one after the team break.
Otherwise, he can't run Bilbo at his speed.
Morgan is really tired at this time and needs a good rest.
But before going to bed, thinking about the large number of giant spider monsters shot and killed in recent days, Morgan closed his eyes and summoned the system for the first time in his mind.
Brush
The virtual data flashing with light white light began to jump in front of us.
[Time Traveler: Morgan]
[race: human]
[biological level: Level 2]
[soul power: 2]
[attributes: strength lv6; physique lv6 +; agility LV5; spirit LV5]
[abilities: general language; Muay Thai Lv2; white crow sword (mastery) lv4; bow and arrow (mastery) lv4; rock body (special skill); dragon power (special skill); charge (special skill); mental impact (special skill); eagle eye (special skill); flash (special skill)]
[talent: Intimacy (special skill)]
[current world exploration progress: 9.05%]
【......】
The light flickered.
Look at the data jumping out in front of you.
Morgan soon saw the number two behind the column of soul power.
Two points of soul force.
Minus the last point.
That is, the pursuit for days and nights.
He killed the giant dark spider monster, which contributed a little soul power to him.
"Good..."
He sighed in his heart.
Morgan's face showed neither disappointment nor joy.
The giant dark spider monster he died in his hands this time is far more than the orcs who died in his hands in the last war of the five armies.
Although the specific quantity has long been unclear.
But he knows very well.
With the last strengthening.
Because of the improvement of their own strength, the difficulty of obtaining soul power has obviously increased again.
Originally, he thought that he could get two soul power this time, which was enough for him to strengthen once.
As a result, he thought too much.
"Hoo..."
He took a long breath.
Morgan didn't feel discouraged.
Look back to the virtual panel and continue to look down.
Soon, he saw the data behind the latest world exploration progress bar: 9.05%.
The progress of the exploration is slightly higher than that before entering the dark, dense forest and decaying mountains a few days ago.
But it hasn't changed much.
Can't enjoy strengthening.
Morgan, who scattered the virtual panel data, immediately felt the double sleepiness of body and spirit.
He soon fell asleep.
The night was calm.
The next morning.
When Morgan opened his eyes.
It was just dawn.
He looked at the fire. Gandalf was holding a cigarette pole and moving the fire in front of him with a wooden stick.
In front of him, the pot on the campfire was boiling.
The smell of food spread in the air.
Morgan got up and immediately asked Gandalf to turn his head, looked at him and said with a smile, "you're in time. You wake up as soon as things are ripe."
"Of course, my nose is always sensitive."
Morgan smiled at Gandalf, who looked really energetic.
He remembered that Gandalf's real identity was Maiya, the Legendary God, which was regarded as a secondary God.
Although the real strength has been sealed a lot in China.
However, his body is indeed resistant to creation. After countless battles, he can live for countless years.
Although Morgan is interested in Gandalf's body.
But Gandalf's secret, he certainly won't ask.
Get up, wash from the outside and come back.
Found that tarrell and Bilbo had also woken up.
Because Gandalf cooked breakfast in advance.
Today's team of four is faster than ever.
Not long.
Under the leadership of Gandalf.
And they went toward the depths of the forest.
Although this infected forest is not as serious as the forests that have completely decayed and died in the dark and dense forest mountains before.
But there are very few creatures still living here.
From last night to now, the four person team has not seen several in total.
It takes a long time to hear the most common bird song in ordinary forest.
I don't know what kind of birds or what other things make the sound.
The team of four is fast.
When the light in the sky just moved overhead.
They stood on a wild hill with sparse trees. Under Gandalf's instructions, they saw a huge house in the wilderness in the distance ahead.
The wooden house is naturally strange to tarrell.
But in the eyes of Morgan and Bilbo, they are familiar with the big wooden house where the expedition people had a short rest to avoid the orcs.
That is, the house of pion.
"It's day now. Shouldn't he become a giant bear?"
Looking at the house in the distance, Bilbo seemed to think of something. Finally, Bilbo couldn't help asking.
Gandalf smiled at Bilbo's worried expression.
Bilbo seemed to have some funny thoughts. He immediately frowned and said, "I'm not sure..."
"But it is possible."
Gandalf murmured a little worried and immediately made Bilbo look more worried.
But he can't forget the scene when he was chased and killed by the terrible ferocious bear.
"What about that?"
Bilbo was worried and looked at Morgan.
Because of Morgan's strong performance.
Not just on the way with a group of dwarves.
And the tough performance on the lonely mountain battlefield more than half a month ago.
Morgan's deepest impression on Bilbo and the people around him who are familiar with him is that he is powerful and trustworthy.
Now Bilbo feels very safe when he sees Morgan around.
Then he was threatened by Gandalf.
Bilbo subconsciously looked at Morgan.
For Morgan, he had witnessed the skin changers fighting on the battlefield. At this time, he knew that even if the skin changers turned into giant bears, there should still be reason.
I heard Gandalf teasing Bilbo.
Morgan immediately showed a dignified look and said seriously, "then we only have to be careful not to let him find out."
It's just that Morgan and Gandalf have excellent acting skills.
But there's a fairy tarrell on one side.
Because she didn't know the skin changer, she obviously couldn't hear Morgan and Gandalf acting, so she said, "if the skin changer is dangerous, why do we have to find him?"
"Morgan, there's a lot of food in your magic ring..."
"We've been away for more than half a month now..."
Before tarrell spoke, Morgan immediately interrupted, "because we need his horse."
He winked at his woman immediately.
Tarrell realized that something was wrong.
Look at the serious Morgan and Gandalf.
Then he turned and looked at Bilbo, the worried hobbit.
Tarrell didn't have the heart to help them tease Bilbo, but he didn't express it directly. He just coughed twice.
Bilbo is not stupid. He seems to notice something wrong.
He immediately stood in front of Gandalf and saw Gandalf laughing.
At this time, Morgan's laughter and tarrell's laughter also sounded.
Bilbo finally knew he had been cheated. He immediately smiled and said, "well, it seems that my worry doesn't exist."
"Yes..."
"I also learned not long ago that biweng was not so dangerous."
Gandalf nodded and smiled and continued, "everybody, the most troublesome part of our trip has passed."
"Come on, let's go to biong and have a good rest."
"As long as we can borrow horses, our next journey will be very fast."
Gandalf smiled and immediately finished and strode out.
Infected by Gandalf's mood, Morgan three people followed up with the same happy pace.
Not long.
When the team of four arrived at the home of the leather changer biong.
Gandalf found that his friend, the brown wizard ridagast, who broke his promise in front of Morgan, was actually visiting Bion's house.
After some nostalgia.
Morgan also met the famous untidy Brown wizard.
Bi Weng, the skin changing man, immediately arranged a table of rich food and entertained the people well.
After drinking and eating.
Gandalf offered to borrow a horse from Bion.
Not long ago, biweng, who took revenge on the orcs in the lonely mountain battlefield, was in a good mood. He not only lent the team four good horses, but also gave the team a lot of food and drink supplies.
This makes the next trip of the four person team more convenient and smooth.
So, on the 20th day after leaving the lonely mountain.
The team of four reached the "karok ferry" on the "langefrad River".
Day 23.
The team of four reached the mountain pass in front of the misty mountains.
Day 30.
The team of four crossed the misty mountains.
A day later.
Under Gandalf's lead.
Morgan finally saw the valley like a fairy tale dream again.
