The next morning.
It's a bit gloomy.
The cold wind kept howling.
When Morgan woke up and opened his eyes, Sam The Hobbit was already busy in front of the campfire.
"Good morning, Mr. Morgan."
"Good morning..."
Morgan looked at Sam and smiled and nodded.
Whether it's the Sam I saw in the memory plot or the real one.
Sam is just like his character, honest, hardworking, calm and trustworthy.
Morgan has a better impression of hardworking Sam than Pippin and merry.
The dwarf Jinli curled up and squatted in front of the campfire.
Not far away Gandalf and Aragon had got up and sat smoking.
Legolas stood on a boulder and was looking around.
Bolomir is still asleep.
Frodo and merippin, the three little hobbits, have also not woken up.
Morgan gets up and goes out to wash. It's over.
When he came back, bolomir had woken up, and Gandalf and Aragon sat back by the campfire.
Morgan sat down beside Gandalf and said, "the weather is a little bad."
"It's almost winter, isn't it?"
"It hasn't arrived yet. It's more than half a month away..."
Before Gandalf spoke, Aragon picked up the dry wood and threw it into the campfire. He looked up at the sky and continued to say, "but in this weather, maybe the first snow of this year will fall today."
"If it snows, the next road won't be so easy."
Then a voice came.
Legolas jumped off the boulder, walked a few steps to the campfire and sat down.
"It's hard to go..."
At this time, bolomir also sat by the campfire and asked, "which road shall we take to modo this time?"
"Take the Rohan pass and go east to modo."
Gandalf exhaled the last smoke and knocked on the cigarette rod.
"That's just right. When we get to Rohan pass, we can go all the way south to Gondor. My father must welcome us."
Said bolomir with a smile.
Gandalf didn't speak. The cigarette rod he was going to put down was filled with cut tobacco again and ignited and smoked.
Aragon immediately answered, "is Rohan pass too close to Eisinger?"
"Saruman has defected. It's not safe for us to go there."
Seeing Gandalf not talking, Aragon immediately looked at bolomir and shook his head.
"But the Rohan pass is the fastest way..."
Polomir continued.
Aragorn didn't speak any more. Gandalf was smoking again.
Morgan and Legolas have been silent.
The scene was a little dull for a moment.
"Everyone, you can have breakfast."
Then Sam's voice came.
They immediately came forward, took the bowl handed by Sam and began today's breakfast.
"Wow, is breakfast ready?"
"I woke up in time."
At this time, Pippin's cheerful voice came from one side.
When they turned their heads, they saw that merry and Pippin, the hobbits, had just woke up.
Gandalf looked at Pippin unhappily and said, "in the future, you and Sam will take turns preparing breakfast and dinner."
When Gandalf said this, Pippin's happy face immediately collapsed and said, "Oh, I know."
It seems because of the talk just before dinner.
No one spoke at dinner.
It's a long way.
Breakfast is not slow.
Not long.
The finished ring guard expedition is on its way again.
It just seems to verify what Aragon said before.
The crowd set out soon.
Snowflakes began to fall in the dark sky.
This winter.
Earlier than in previous years.
The expedition continued to advance against the wind and snow.
In the dull journey.
A month passed quietly.
It's sunny.
White clouds floated in the blue sky.
Warm light hung high.
In a wild and stony area.
A team of ten people, tall and short, is marching.
"You can prepare lunch."
"Just rest here..."
"It's a nice place. It's right here..."
The voice fell, and the team of ten soon rested on the spot.
Smoking, smoking, ventilation, cooking, cooking.
The ten member team has a clear division of labor and performs their respective duties.
Naturally, it was Morgan and Gandalf who came out of ravendale a month ago.
This month, the expedition has been heading south along the misty mountains.
Halfway over mountains and valleys, over forests, wilderness, hills, mountains, rivers
Although the journey was difficult, there were no other dangers and the journey was smooth.
"Pippin, it's your turn today."
Sam took off the food package hanging on his horse's back and shouted at Pippin not far away.
"Coming..."
Pippin, who heard the sound, ran over at once.
Merry followed, and they began to prepare today's lunch.
Since Gandalf determined the division of labor for several hobbits a month ago, Sam and Frodo, merry and Pippin have been responsible for the dining of the expedition together these days.
Hobbits love food, so several hobbits in the team have good cooking skills.
Legolas stood on a boulder around to watch the wind.
Since the expedition started, Legolas has consciously undertaken this task because of his keen eyes.
More than a month ago, the ring spirit chased Morgan and Frodo. They dare not forget.
Although these days, no danger has been found.
But people will not relax their vigilance.
Gandalf and the dwarf Jinli are talking about something.
Bolomir was wiping his sword and shield.
Aragon sat on a boulder and smoked.
In front of him, Sam and Frodo were playing with daggers.
Morgan sat aside, directing the hobbits.
"Be flexible under your feet..."
"After Sam's sword is cut out, he can take a sword..."
"Frodo, are you in a daze? Are you thinking about life?"
"How did I teach you before?"
"Sam is moving fast. You're as stupid as a donkey."
"Frodo, how dare you laugh..."
"You're worse than Sam..."
"Hurry up..."
"Ha ha..."
Aragorn, who watched Morgan train the hobbits with his pipe in his mouth, couldn't help laughing.
"What's so funny?"
At this time, there was a voice behind him. Aragon turned his head and saw Gandalf climbing up the boulder with a cigarette pole in his mouth.
"You see..."
Aragon nuzui said to three people who were training in the open space not far away.
"Hehe..."
Gandalf sat next to Aragon and looked at Morgan, who didn't look very good, and smiled.
Along the way, bolomir will train Pippin and merry from time to time.
Morgan likes to train Sam and Frodo.
Different from bolomir's peaceful training method.
Morgan was much tougher when training Frodo and Sam. once the two little hobbits did not perform well.
Morgan is not polite, and his mouth is unforgiving.
That's why the rest of the team likes to watch Morgan train Frodo and Sam.
They are often amused.
"Move faster..."
"Feet, feet, Sam, your feet should be flexible. Have you been nailed there?"
"Frodo, what do you dance?"
"Is there something stabbing your feet on the ground?"
"Does it make you jump blindly to make your feet move?"
“......”
Looking at the gestures of the two in front of him, Morgan was speechless and almost bald.
Because of the plot memory, he planned to take the opportunity of this journey to train them.
Or let these two live better in the future.
Frodo and Sam obviously know that.
Even Frodo, who was relatively lazy, became focused and serious at Morgan's request.
Now their strength is much stronger than when they set out more than a month ago.
Although in the eyes of Morgan and several of the expedition's ring protectors, they are still weak chickens.
"Well, now you two attack me together."
Morgan stood up and pulled out the elf sword at his waist.
Watch Morgan get up and play in person.
Aragorn and Gandalf looked with a smile.
"Frodo..."
At the same time, watching Morgan stand up, Sam immediately turned his head, quickly looked at Frodo next to him and shouted in a low voice.
Just last night.
Bolomir didn't notice when he went on to train merry and Pippin. He was jointly attacked by two hobbits and fell to the ground.
Sam and Frodo had a quiet chat when they were sleeping last night.
They both want to surprise their temporary teacher Morgan.
"Well, I know."
"As planned yesterday..."
Frodo did not turn his head, but approached Sam and whispered quickly.
Look at Morgan striding forward.
Frodo and Sam's faces were full of war as usual.
"It seems ready."
Looking at the two hobbits in front of him, Morgan grinned and showed his white teeth.
Every time the two trained to the final actual battle, it was Morgan's time to vent his depression and unhappiness before training.
This time, of course, is no exception.
Even if these little hobbits are prepared today.
"Then come and attack me."
Morgan grinned. Frodo and Sam looked at each other and rushed up with their daggers in their hands.
Frodo was holding the elf dagger Bilbo had given him.
And Sam is holding the dagger weapon he got from ravendale.
"Bang Bang..."
The two hobbits rushed to the two, waved their daggers and stabbed Morgan. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of metal impact.
Facing the fierce siege of two hobbits.
Morgan held the sword in one hand and easily blocked the two incoming daggers.
No matter where Frodo and Sam attack from.
Morgan easily blocked their attack as if he could predict their attack in advance.
And Morgan just resisted, did not attack, and let the two attack at will.
"Bang Bang..."
One crash after another came
The three fought fiercely.
On one side of the boulder, beside Aragon and Gandalf, a tall and a short bolomir and Jinli appeared.
In the open space not far away.
At this time, Frodo's elf short sword suddenly lost its strength when he split at Morgan. Morgan's long sword slipped onto his arm and immediately screamed.
Morgan's face changed slightly, and he was about to greet Frodo with a long sword in his hand.
On one side, Sam seemed to get a signal. He immediately threw down his dagger, hugged Morgan's leg and was about to lift it back.
Morgan looked at Sam immediately.
Frodo, who had just looked miserable, immediately jumped up with joy and hugged Morgan's other foot.
In a flash, Morgan realized what the little hobbits were going to do.
He grinned and then forced his lower limbs.
"Ho..."
Sam and Frodo looked happy and shouted hard together.
But Morgan's legs seemed to be nailed to the ground like nails, motionless.
"Ho..."
The two shouted again, and their faces turned red.
But Morgan's legs were like planted on the ground, still motionless.
"Hey, I'm not bolomir..."
Morgan raised his mouth and immediately shook his feet. Frodo and Sam were thrown out one after another, fell into shit and ate a mouthful of mud.
"Ha ha..."
"Hehe..."
Looking at the two hobbits who got up in confusion, Jinli and Gandalf who watched immediately laughed.
Aragorn never stopped laughing.
Bolomir's expression was weak.
He was just accidentally attacked by merry and Pippin yesterday.
Everyone laughed yesterday, and Morgan will laugh today.
It really upset him.
He decided to practice the boys merry and Pippin tomorrow.
"Everyone, lunch is cooked and you can eat..."
At this time, the voice of merry the Hobbit sounded not far away.
Everyone walked to Meili with a smile.
"Wait, there's something flying over there?"
Suddenly, the voice of Legolas came.
When they turned around, they saw Legolas standing on a boulder not far away pointing to the sky ahead.
Jinli looked at the shadow moving towards this side and said, "isn't that a moving black cloud?"
"Black clouds don't move so fast."
Aragorn frowned and spoke.
Morgan's face changed slightly.
"No, that's the crow of dunland!"
The nearest Legolas finally saw what was flying in front of him. He immediately spoke loudly, turned and jumped off the boulder.
"Come on, hide!"
Hearing Legolas's words, everyone's faces changed, and Aragon immediately shouted.
During this trip, people had heard Gandalf say that the denlanders, that is, the black barbarians, had already been taken under Saruman's command.
It is not good to see those crows who are regarded as a crow.
"Come on!"
The group of people were very fast and hid in the gap under the boulder or in the surrounding lush thorns.
Even two horses were led behind a boulder.
Merry and Pippin both immediately put out the bonfire. The whole company picked up the cooking pot and hid together. They immediately found a place to hide.
"Gaga... Gaga..."
The harsh cry kept approaching.
Before long, a black crow crow crow crowed and flew quickly over the rubble.
"Quack..."
"Quack..."
Black clouds composed of a large number of Scouting crows come and go quickly.
Quickly flew over the rocky area and flew forward.
When the crows in the air fly away quickly.
The members of the expedition came out one after another.
"Those are Saruman's Eyeliner..."
Gandalf looked at the crows in the distance and whispered, "it seems that the roads in the South have been monitored."
"What now?"
Jinli went to Gandalf and asked.
Other members immediately came over.
"The South Rohan pass must not go."
"We're going another way..."
Gandalf said and looked at the crowd.
"Another way?"
"Are you going to go to Moria?"
Jinli was surprised and asked immediately.
According to the route he knew, except Rohan pass, taking Moria was the nearest choice.
But it was already occupied by orcs.
"No, let's go that way..."
Gandalf shook his head and stretched out his hand to the rear and said in a deep voice, "climb over karanlas mountain."
People looked in the direction of Gandalf's fingers and saw a towering snow mountain in the distance.
"If there are the first scouts, there must be the second..."
"I can't stay here anymore."
"Right away..."
"Did you say those crows found us just now?"
"I don't know. I hope not."
"But we changed the way. Even if we found it, we must be all right..."
As Gandalf's voice fell, the expedition immediately packed up their things and prepared to turn around to the snow mountain.
When all the people were busy, they were about to leave with their horses.
Merry and Pippin were carrying a heavy cooking pot, looking at the crowd and shouting, "do you want to eat this lunch?"
