Chapter 198

"Morgan..."

"Morgan..."

The expeditionary team on the shore shouted loudly at the figures swimming on the river.

"I'm fine."

Morgan waved his hand and then accelerated to the shore.

Although the quiet river under him now does not look particularly broad, the current is not panting.

But the water depth below is unfathomable.

He just took the initiative to get into the mouth of the water monster and was swallowed by the other party, but it took him a lot of effort.

Fighting in an almost completely dark, narrow, extremely viscous, smelly and soft body.

The real experience is too bad to be worse.

Morgan also once saw movies and TV pictures on earth, rushed into the belly of monsters to fight, and looked very natural and powerful.

In fact, it was his turn. Only he knew the feeling and danger of being trapped in an extremely narrow and suffocating environment.

If he knew it would be that feeling before the battle, he would not venture into the monster's stomach.

"Hoo..."

"Hoo..."

Every mouthful was gasping vigorously.

Morgan swam quickly to the shore.

In such a deep river, who knows if there will be a second monster just like that.

This is entirely possible.

"Morgan..."

When they swam close to the shore, they saw that Morgan was a little weak. Aragon and bolomir immediately stepped into the water and stretched out their hands to hold Morgan.

"Morgan..."

"Morgan..."

"Is everything all right?"

"Is the monster dead?"

The people on the shore immediately welcomed them with concern.

"Of course..."

Morgan gasped and said with a smile, "that monster has been killed by me."

"Well, since Morgan is all right, we should go."

Gandalf looked around and said in a deep voice, "you can't stay here any longer."

By this reminder, the people immediately recovered from Morgan's joy of salvation. They were in the Moria mine occupied by the orcs.

Gandalf came forward, raised his staff and blew the magic stone embedded at the top of the staff.

Soon, the Sorcerer's stone radiated a soft light of pale white.

Gandalf took the lead in entering the dark stone gate of Moria with a luminous staff.

The crowd immediately followed in.

At this time.

In the distance of the river behind the crowd, a huge body suddenly surfaced.

"Is this the interior of the Moria pit?"

"There seems to be no sign of the orcs..."

"No one has walked here for a long time. Look how thick the dust is..."

"Hoo..."

A pale light enveloped the boundless darkness.

Several voices were whispering.

"Although it was occupied by orcs long ago."

"But I did it once many years ago..."

Gandalf walked in front of the team, lit up the darkness with a magic wand, walked forward slowly, whispered and said, "I didn't find an orc that time."

"That's why I chose to go to the Moria mine."

"But not finding orcs doesn't mean they don't exist here..."

Gandalf turned his head and looked at the people behind him, especially Pippin, the most talkative and restless hobbit, said, "so you must be careful."

Looking at Gandalf's eyes, Pippin was about to say something. Merri, who knew him best, pulled him up and motioned him to shut his mouth.

Pippin was puzzled and immediately looked at merry, who motioned him to look at the others.

Sure enough, none of the other members spoke. They were listening to Gandalf quietly.

"Now that we have chosen to cross the Moria pit..."

"You must be alert, in this dark underground world."

"There are monsters more terrible than orcs..."

Gandalf quietly popularized science for the expedition members behind him.

The crowd also followed quietly, and the whole team walked slowly towards the dark unknown channel ahead.

"How long will it take us to cross the Moria pit?"

Then Frodo suddenly whispered in the line.

"Four to five days or so..."

"We should keep quiet so that we won't disturb anything."

Gandalf looked at the road ahead and said without looking back.

Morgan walked at the end of the line like Aragon this time, stuffing dried meat into his mouth as he walked.

It took him a lot of energy to deal with the monster underwater.

Then he slowly recovered.

Follow Gandalf to walk in the dark muraya underground world.

Morgan has good night vision.

But still can't see far.

The expeditionary team followed Gandalf through the long corridor scattered with thick white bones, the dilapidated hall, the broken long bridge, and the decadent buildings

In the whole underground world, there was almost only the slight sound made by this team walking. In addition, there was a dead silence.

Time passed slowly.

Morgan doesn't know how long he followed the team.

Suddenly, the speed in front of the team slowed down.

Morgan looked up and saw that the road ahead was a narrow and winding dangerous path and an abyss pit full of various mine ladders and lamps.

It turned out that the expedition came to the place where the Moroccan dwarves mined ore.

"The real wealth of Moria does not lie in gold, silver or precious stones..."

Gandalf looked at the side of the mine and slowly said, "it's Secret silver."

"Bilbo has a lock armour blouse made of secret silver, which SOLIN gave him."

Hearing this, Jinli immediately nodded: "I also know this. It's a precious gift worth presenting to the king."

"Yes..."

Gandalf smiled, suddenly looked back and asked, "Morgan knows?"

"Of course."

Morgan answered.

"But I never told Bilbo that the value of that secret silver lock armour blouse is more valuable than the whole shire."

Gandalf smiled happily and said.

In the middle of the line, Frodo, who was walking with several hobbits, changed his face slightly.

He didn't expect Bilbo to give himself such a precious armour blouse.

No one else could have imagined that the secret silver blouse worth the whole shire was wearing on himself.

This is worthy of the name, wearing a city on your body.

Frodo looked a little different.

But in such a dim light, no one could notice the change of expression on his face.

The team moved on.

At this time, Morgan, who was walking at the end of the team and chewing dried meat, seemed to notice something. Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and suddenly turned to look at a dark place behind him.

I saw a thin figure passing by in the dark and quickly hid in the deeper darkness.

"What's the matter?"

Aware of Morgan's strange behind him, Aragon turned back and asked.

"It's okay..."

Morgan shook his head.

At this time, he remembered that the one who followed the line should be the "Gulu" who ran away from the dark forest.

Aragon caught Gollum in the death swamp of modo and sent him to the woodland kingdom for detention.

But during the ventilation time, when the orcs came to catch Gulu and attacked the wood elves, Gulu ran away.

I just don't know when that guy came up.

I didn't notice.

Walk through the mines of the Moorish dwarves.

Not long after the expedition followed Gandalf, they came to a wide hall.

Walk through the hall and stand in front of four dark stone doors.

Gandalf stopped.

His eyes kept looking at the four dark doors for a long time.

Gandalf suddenly said, "I seem to have forgotten this place..."

The voice fell, and everyone was stunned.

Here Gandalf once came to Moria. If he forgot the way, everyone would have to be blind.

"What about that?"

Or the restless Pippin asked first.

"What else can I do? Get something to eat first. Maybe I can remember when I'm full."

Gandalf turned and sat down on the dusty steps behind him.

They looked at each other, immediately put their carry on packages together, and then began to disperse and look for firewood that can be used to burn.

In half an hour.

"Crackle... Crackle..."

A big bonfire was burning in the hall.

There was a cooking pot on the campfire, and the soup rolled in the pot.

Sam is busy.

Next to the fire, the people sat around and were taking out their cigarette poles and smoking.

Gandalf sat a little far away with a cigarette stick in his mouth and looked at the four doors not far away without saying a word.

"Are we lost?"

"It should be..."

"No, Gandalf is thinking..."

"Where have all these orcs gone?"

"Who knows, it should be hiding."

"But I wish all the orcs were dead..."

"Thick soup is OK."

Sam took the pot and spoon, scooped some into the bowl, tasted it, and immediately said.

"Give me a bowl..."

"Give me a bowl, too..."

"I'll do it myself..."

"I still have some dried mutton here, but I like beef. Does anyone change it?"

"I'll trade with you. I like mutton."

"Which of you has pork?"

"Who eats pork..."

"What about dried fruit? Who has left dried fruit?"

"It's long gone."

"Morgan may have..."

A group of people chattered in front of the fire.

Morgan had just eaten all the way. After drinking three bowls of hot soup, his stomach was full.

He walked aside with a bowl of thick soup and was looking at Gandalf, who was meditating on the four stone gates.

"Here..."

Gandalf took the bowl, immediately put down his cigarette and began to drink.

Satisfied with a bowl of steaming thick soup, Gandalf put down the bowl and looked at the front stone gate again. His eyes immediately lit up: "I think I know which road to take."

ten minutes later.

The team is on its way again.

"I feel like I'm not full yet..."

"You just drank three bowls of thick soup..."

"Thick soup doesn't matter how full..."

"Then you go and talk to Gandalf and Morgan..."

"Forget it, I think it's almost the same..."

"After all, it's hard to eat too much, isn't it?"

“......”

Murmured merry and Pippin, two little hobbits.

Jinli suddenly asked, "when is it now?"

"Is it dawn?"

"It must have been dawn long ago. I just don't know when."

"We've been in for a long time."

Legolas whispered next to him.

At the back of the line.

Aragorn, who walked behind Morgan, seemed to notice something and suddenly turned to look back.

"You see that, too?"

Morgan turned to Aragon and said.

"Didn't see what it was..."

Aragorn nodded and looked at Morgan: "when did you find it?"

"Not long ago."

Morgan looked back into the darkness and whispered.

"Do you know what that is?"

Looking at Morgan's discretionary expression, Aragon spoke again.

Morgan nodded, "well, if I'm not mistaken, Gulu should be behind us."

"Gollum?"

Aragon looked surprised.

"Yes."

Morgan nodded again. "I just don't know when that guy came up."

Everyone on the expedition was talking to each other.

A long time in the depressed dark underground boring way.

People's words also seem to have changed more.

However, everyone knew that they were in the depths of the dangerous Moria mine and kept their voice to a minimum.

Time passed slowly.

The team moved on tirelessly.

In this dark underground world, I don't know how long it has been.

Gandalf, who led the way in front of the team, looked around and suddenly made a voice: "I've been here."

"I take a risk to make the light shine again and let you see the dwarf's masterpiece."

Gandalf said to himself and blew the magic stone inlaid on the top of the blowing staff again.

I saw that the original weak light immediately became much brighter.

Gandalf then held the staff high so that the light could shine wider and farther.

Then, the following members found that not far from the people, there were huge stone pillars that needed two or three adult human men to hold together.

Each huge stone pillar is at least more than sixty or seventy meters high.

Each stone pillar is carved with various exquisite reliefs.

These huge stone pillars are horizontal, vertical, neat and symmetrical. One stands every few meters and extends to the dark front. There is no end at all.

The expedition was as small as an ant standing in it.

"Look, this is the magnificent dwarf hometown, Moria!"

Gandalf raised his luminous staff and whispered.

The members of the expedition behind him were stunned.

Even Morgan, even Jinli, the hometown of Turin dwarfs, has seen Blue Mountain and solitary mountain erebo.

Looking at the magnificent buildings in several Hometown I had seen before, I felt heartfelt amazement.

These buildings, even if they are built on the ground, are amazing.

Besides, it is built in this deep underground world.

As long as you think about the difficulty of building these buildings, you can imagine the glory of the dwarf kingdom of Moria.

"It's incredible..."

"It's a miracle..."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such a magnificent building would be built under such a deep underground..."

"It's really eye opening..."

People marveled and walked on the magnificent and broad stone pillar square.

In half an hour.

Just as the crowd was about to pass through this magnificent building complex.

Just when Morgan thought he would pass through Moria unharmed.

Just then.

"Roar..."

A low, trembling, terrible roar suddenly came from the end of the huge stone pillar on one side.
