It's getting darker and darker.

On a wide river.

The river roared in a hurry.

In the middle of the river, a large ferry is drifting down the river quickly.

"Who are they?"

Morgan looked away from the ferry behind him and asked two other young hobbits on the deck.

Although I have recognized the two by remembering the plot.

But Morgan had never seen these two before in habitun.

Frodo was about to introduce Morgan when he saw that the shorter of the two hobbits immediately took the initiative to introduce himself to Morgan and said, "I'm pirigreen Turk. You can call me Pippin."

Pippin looked at the human in front of him and said.

Like many hobbits in habitun, he knew the man who appeared in Bilbo Baggins's house from time to time.

He had heard from others in the tavern that the human had lived for a long time, but he didn't look old at all.

And just saw the other side's sword cut the terrible Black Knight into two with a sword.

Pippin immediately realized the strength of the human master.

With the participation of this, it will be much safer.

Pippin introduced herself.

On one side, Merri also came forward and introduced himself: "I'm merriyadak liquor deer."

"Your Excellency, just call me merry."

Merry spoke respectfully.

Having just seen the power of the man in front of him, merry thought almost as much as Pippin.

"Morgan."

Morgan looked at the hobbits, nodded and said his name.

Merri and Pippin saw that uncle Morgan didn't look easy to get along with and didn't bother people. They came forward and consciously returned to their position.

It's getting darker.

The ferry went quietly down the current.

There are chandeliers on the ferry, but several people don't want to turn them on.

Frodo sat next to Morgan and asked, "Uncle Morgan, what are those chasing us?"

The voice fell, and the other three hobbits immediately looked over.

Morgan took out his oak pipe, filled it with cut tobacco, lit it, sucked deeply into the tobacco and slowly spit out the smoke. Then he said, "they were all human beings, powerful human beings."

"Sauron, the Dark Lord, gave each of them a ring..."

Morgan smoked and looked at the four hobbits in front of him. He slowly opened his mouth like a story: "there is great power in those nine rings."

"Those nine humans have made great achievements with the help of the ring..."

"Some became kings, some became wizards, and some became powerful soldiers..."

"The ring gives them great power, prolongs their life, and is eroding their bodies."

"Finally, one day, when their bodies were completely eroded by the ring, they became invisible spirits and were finally enslaved by the Demon Lord Sauron."

"Enslave forever..."

"They are the ring spirits between life and death..."

"They can feel the existence of the ring at any time..."

"They are attracted by the supreme ring, so they keep chasing you."

Morgan slowly spits out smoke, looks at Frodo beside him and whispers something that only two people can hear: "remember not to bring the ring unless you have to."

Morgan's voice fell, and Frodo looked at Morgan suspiciously.

But he remembered that Gandalf said in the hole at the bottom of the bag that he must not take the ring.

Why does uncle Morgan say that now?

But Morgan seemed not to see Frodo's eyes and didn't want to explain. He smoked himself.

The ferry flowed quietly.

Merry sat at the stern, fiddling with the oars from time to time to keep the ferry from moving smoothly.

At this time.

"Goo Goo..."

Suddenly there was a loud sound of hunger in Sam's stomach.

See people's eyes instantly focused on themselves.

Sam was about to say something.

His hungry voice just sounded like a call.

"Goo Goo..."

"Goo Goo..."

Frodo and Pippin began to cry.

The three looked at each other and then laughed at themselves.

It's not their fault. In order to avoid the pursuit of those Black Knights, they have been running all day.

I didn't eat anything.

I don't feel nervous about running for my life. At this time, I feel really hungry.

Of the four hobbits, Frodo was carrying a carry on package.

Sam's package was taken away by merry during the day, and the Black Knight ring spirit threw it away.

Merri and Pippin came up by chance, and there was no package on them.

Look at the four little hobbits in front of you.

Morgan raised his mouth slightly and waved his hand.

On the deck in front of him, there immediately appeared a whole plate of pastries, a large bag of dried mutton, and a small amount of fruit.

At the stern of the ship, Merri, who happened to see it, saw the food that appeared like magic and immediately widened his eyes.

Several other hobbits immediately found the extra food in front of Morgan's deck.

In addition to Frodo's face, Sam and Pippin had the same expression as merry, shocked and confused.

But Morgan was not interested in explaining to them. After reaching out and grabbing a handful from the dried mutton bag, he motioned to several hobbits: "eat when you're hungry."

There is not much left in his dimensional ring, but there are still some.

It's just that the food is only semi-finished and needs a bonfire to cook.

It's not easy to make a fire on the ferry, so it doesn't need that effort.

Morgan's voice fell, and the three hungry hobbits wouldn't be polite.

Immediately walked forward, each holding dried meat snacks and fruit began to eat.

Sam and merrippie don't know Morgan well and are afraid of Morgan. Naturally, they won't talk to Morgan.

The three of them sat together eating and chatting, and it was easy to talk about the magical scene of Morgan's food.

The three looked at Morgan from time to time, but they didn't dare to ask more.

Frodo has known Morgan for a long time because he is the successor of Bilbo.

Naturally, he was not afraid of Morgan. He took a snack and sat next to Morgan while eating. From time to time, he asked, "Uncle Morgan, are we going to wait for Gandalf there this time?"

Hear Frodo talk about this.

Morgan immediately thought of Gandalf. I'm afraid he's still on his way to eisengard.

If those ring spirits are not in such a hurry, they can really wait at the Yuema hotel with Frodo and others.

But since the other party catches up so quickly, the hotel can't stay much longer.

Moreover, Saruman, the white wizard who controls Eisinger at this time, has already defected into the Soren camp of the dark side.

Waiting for Gandalf is just a beating.

Morgan can't stay more at the Yuema hotel.

He went there only to pick up one person, an indispensable presence for a future ring Expedition: Aragon, known by Bree as the "big Strider".

"Well, that's what Gandalf said..."

Facing Frodo's question, Morgan nodded, "but..."

"But what?"

Frodo noticed that uncle Morgan had a different attitude towards Gandalf's account, and asked immediately.

"Nothing. You'll know then."

Morgan shook his head. He certainly wouldn't tell Frodo what he knew by remembering the plot, and he couldn't say it.

I don't want to say more when I see Uncle Morgan.

Frodo decided not to ask.

In fact, Frodo likes listening to stories very much.

When his uncle Bilbo caught him living in the hole at the bottom of the bag at the beginning.

Bilbo told him many stories about his adventures.

The protagonist with the most scenes in many stories is the unsmiling, handsome, cold and mysterious uncle Morgan in front of him.

As Bilbo said, the first three giant ogres encountered by the expedition on the way were all killed by Uncle Morgan with a bow and arrow.

When he met the legendary stone giant war in the stone mountains, uncle Morgan saved Bilbo.

And in the underground kingdom, when you meet countless goblin monsters

And when surrounded by orc forces

Even when the terrible northern Dragon flew out of the mountain treasure and raged in Changhu town;

Or uncle Morgan stood up and finally killed the dragon and became a dragon slayer.

In Bilbo's stories of magic, danger, excitement and so on.

Uncle Morgan is the protagonist most of the time.

Even, in the end, uncle Morgan married a very beautiful fairy as his partner.

This is the winner of life.

A legendary protagonist in a legendary story.

Most importantly, the protagonist is still alive, right in front of him, or his uncle.

Dare not disturb each other.

Frodo finished his dessert and immediately took another one.

Looking at Sam and merrippings talking happily, they also got up and sat down.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

Frodo asked with a smile. Merry immediately whispered, "where's your uncle..."

"Tell us about that..."

"By the way, Frodo, how could you call him uncle?"

The four little hobbits got together and chatted.

With Morgan's hearing at this time.

He could hear the conversation between the young hobbits with a little concentration if he wanted to.

However, he has no interest in it.

Because no matter in strength, experience, age and other aspects.

Morgan has too big a gap with these young hobbits.

Nearly 60 years of experience in the Middle Earth world.

Morgan gets more than age, child; There are also some more important things after time honing and precipitation.

Time passed slowly.

The night deepened.

The sound of the water was clear.

On the deck, four little hobbits snored one after another.

Morgan lay on his back quietly on the bow deck, looking at the sparse stars in the sky with his eyes open, and his thoughts were as calm as the whole sleeping world around him.

At this time, Morgan suddenly thought of something and his heart moved.

Brush

Light white virtual data began to jump and flash in front of us.

[Time Traveler: Morgan]

[race: human]

[biological level: Level 2]

[soul power: 3]

[attributes: strength lv6; physique lv6 +; agility lv6; 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: 9.99%]

【......】

"Eh..."

Looking at the data constantly jumping out in front of him and the data behind the soul force column, Morgan was suddenly surprised.

Even now there are far fewer calls to the system panel than before.

But he can still remember the data on the panel clearly.

After all, it's about your strength.

A few days ago, Morgan remembered that the number of data points behind the soul force column was two.

That was it two months ago.

Now it has become three points, a little more.

Where did this come from?

Morgan frowned and mused.

He has been on his way for more than two months.

Not many times.

And on the way, after crossing the misty mountains, most of the animals were killed on the way.

Ordinary animals have long been unable to provide him with soul power.

Then he came to Bilbo's house until now.

Morgan can easily remember the footprints of these two months.

It's simple.

But where did the extra soul force come from?

With the difficulty of obtaining soul power now.

This soul power can't be made out of nothing.

Besides fighting, he can't get soul power in any other way

battle?

wait...

The recent battle is also the two battles between yourself and the ring spirit.

The first time was with the two precepts led by the leader of the precepts, Angmar Witch King.

At that time, the other party was fine and took the initiative to retreat, so there could be no soul power.

But the second time

The second time, two ring spirits were shot by their own rockets, their heads burned, and one was split in half and kicked into the river

Is it the soul power contributed by these three ring spirits?

But isn't it hard to kill esoron's ring spirit?

But if it weren't for those ring spirits, the extra soul power on their own panel would be a little strange.

Because it's impossible to explain.

Did the three ring spirits really kill themselves?

Morgan frowned to himself.

After thinking for a long time, I still didn't understand.

After all, Morgan was impressed by the ability of Angmar Witch King, the leader of the ring spirit, to connect the broken arm.

However, the next time I see those ring spirits, I should know something.

Morgan looked at the sky and thought.

Now that you have three points of soul power, you can strengthen it again.

Thinking of this, Morgan immediately cheered up.

Look down at the panel.

The four properties of the property bar have not been promoted for a long time.

As for lv4 level white crow sword and lv4 level bow and arrow in the skill bar.

Morgan has now fully mastered it and can be promoted at this time.

Strengthen what?

Look around on the property bar and ability bar panels.

Morgan suddenly remembered the ring spirits who were raided by himself not long ago and couldn't even hold the sword in his hand.

Therefore, the mind moved and focused this strengthening opportunity behind the power attribute.

[this enhancement consumes soul power 3. Is it enhanced?]

"Strengthen!"

"Power LV7..."

I noticed that the familiar warm current appeared again.

Morgan felt tired and swept away in an instant.

Strength is the foundation of all strength.

One force will reduce ten meetings.

Morgan squeezed his fist and felt his whole body full of strength.

The soul bar is cleared again.

He didn't care and continued to look down.

At present, the world exploration progress bar remains unchanged, still 9.99%.

Morgan was not disappointed.

The progress of exploration has not been moved for a long time.

He firmly believes that as long as he is on the right path, he does not believe that the progress will be stuck all the time.

"Hoo..."

With a long breath, Morgan scattered the data panel in front of him.

Listen to the sound of running water around.

Morgan's thoughts were suddenly mixed.

......

Two days later.

afternoon.

Morgan and four little hobbits knocked on the thick door of Bree town.
