Finally Evolved and Escaped! Bad News From Rivendell Chapter 68 Coincidence or Deliberate?

Chapter 68 Coincidence or deliberate?

It turns out that although Gutes is an excellent caravan leader, he is not a good guide. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

Fang Senyan and his group set off immediately at his initiative, but after walking at least three kilometers, they found that they were still wandering in the woods. The woods seemed to have no end. After walking a distance, they would look up, hoping to see a ray of starlight and the black sky, and even more eager to feel the wind on their faces, but unfortunately this action was in vain. The whole forest seemed to imprison them in the branches and leaves.

Except for the sounds they made, there was eternal silence, long darkness and dazed lifelessness lingering nearby. Although they held torches, the light of the torches could only penetrate five or six meters, and then was wrapped in darkness - this is not the kind of darkness that can be said casually, but the weirdness that cannot be seen when waving fingers in front of the eyes.

Sheyan felt something was wrong, because if he encountered any danger in such an environment, he would be unable to fight back, so he immediately asked Wu Ge:

"What happened to us? Something is wrong."

Wu Ge closed her eyes, then shook her head slightly and said:

"The fragment of the Ringwraith Knight Dor armor you carried suddenly had a strong and extremely dark aura. I couldn't feel the flow of nature, and I only felt madness, panic, and chaos."

Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for the group to travel, so they had to sit down and light a bonfire. However, soon, some tiny parallel light spots appeared around them, which were pairs of yellow, red or green eyes staring at him.

When someone approached, the light of those eyes gradually faded until it disappeared, and then slowly appeared in another direction. (《》)

Fortunately, dawn soon arrived, and in the dim morning light, they recognized that the owners of these eyes were countless dark gray and black moths, some of which were even as big as a human palm. These moths flapped their wings and flew around their ears, sprinkling choking wing powder, and on the wings of these moths, there were strange smiley patterns that made people feel shocked.

Fang Senyan frowned. You know, the private space of the contractor is completely exclusive to this world, and it can almost isolate all the breath from leaking out. Now it seems that the armor fragment of the Ringwraith Knight Dor is definitely not simple.

However, these ghost-faced moths still couldn't resist the power of the morning light and slowly dispersed. The clouds on the horizon were dyed with a layer of gold. Everything showed that it would be a very good sunny day. At this time, the group of people realized that they had been trudging in the dark for an hour or two, and they were actually circling in a big circle. This place is only one or two hundred meters away from where they fought with the Ringwraith Knight before.

There is no need to say more about the following process. Guts identified the direction and then slowly took the main road. At noon, he was lucky to meet a caravan from the Shire. Fang Senyan and his team bought a few animals for transportation. After five or six hours of trekking, they successfully arrived in the Shire.

The Shire is the home of the Hobbits. Their height is only half that of the Númenor people in the north, so they are also called halflings.

Near the Shire, you can see large tracts of farmland being reclaimed on the hills, one piece after another in the distance, just as neat as a colorful carpet. If you get closer, you can see it more clearly:

The tender green spring barley is estimated to be two months before it matures, the dark green tubular leaves of onions are topped with dandelion-like flowers, the light yellow Beigang hops are expected to add fragrance to the wine soon, and the lavender rushes seem to be harvested. The cart in front should be filled with gray-green pipe grass, which will be sent to the Shire to be made into tobacco with a unique aroma. Temple

Following the flat road with pockmarked gravel, the number of hobbits on the road increased. They were no taller than one meter, with rounded faces, rosy cheeks, curly hair, broad faces, bright eyes, and a big mouth that was used to smiling and enjoying food. The sound of musical instruments could be heard from time to time.

Fang Senyan noticed that these cheerful little guys had hard pads and thick brown curly hair on their feet, which should be a big part of their amazing speed. Many hobbits carried a large long strip of cowhide on their backs.

After Guts's explanation, I realized that it was their weapon: slingshot - you can think of it as a chain ball that can break the chain at any time according to the thrower's wishes... It is quite powerful and is said to be able to accelerate an egg-sized stone to an amazing speed.

The hobbits' houses are somewhat similar to cave dwellings, with only the roof exposed above. The oval wooden door is their favorite architectural style. With the increase of oval pocket road signs and the density of houses, there are more pedestrians on the road, and it is full of dwarves, elves, and Numenoreans. The wild laughter and scolding mixed with the smell of gin have a unique charm.

When the famous symbol of the Shire appeared in front of him: the red-topped windmill, Guts finally breathed a sigh of relief. It can be seen that he has been worried about the "Ringwraith Knights" behind him chasing him. This is the sign that he has completely reached the Shire.

The entire Shire is built on several gentle curved hills. Its streets are very similar to winding mountain roads, and the side against the mountain wall has been dug into the form of cave dwellings and decorated with wood patterns. The Hobbit's unique style. Looking up from a distance at night, it looks like many brightly lit ribbons gently wrapping around the hills, giving people an extraordinarily quiet and warm aesthetic.

Fang Sheyan and the others chose a hotel called "Black Lamb". The signboard here was distinctively burnt by smoke, and the various animals tied at the door also showed that its business was very prosperous. After confirming where to live, Gutes, who had a solemn face, was busy with things to deal with. After all, all the returning caravans were wiped out. This kind of thing is really no small matter. His roots are also in the Shire, so he must There must be an explanation for everyone.

When Gust left, Sheyan stuffed a small bag of jingling things into him. These were the eight platinum coins that Sister Wuge felt too sorry to stuff. This was a huge sum of money worth eight thousand silver coins. , Gust seemed to be in need of money, so he accepted it very readily.

The four of them entered the hotel, and naturally there was a warm reception to greet the guests. They shuttled through the maze of small round tables and heavy wooden stools, breathing the smell of ham, fried eggs, toast, ham, ale and pipe grass. The mixed smell finally settled on an empty table in the corner that was not very clean. While waiting for the meal to be served, Sheyan suddenly heard the person at the next table shout loudly:

"I have never seen anyone so generous. Really, I swear on my pipe that in order to rush to teleport from here to Eriador, I will spend a full thirty platinum coins! More importantly, You gave me one as a tip--that's why I have the money to treat you to the bacon carefully cooked by Sister-in-law Schucher!"

There were at least hundreds of words chatting like this in the hotel every minute. Sheyan was only attracted by the words Ariadore, because that was the only reason why he came to the Shire---- Of course, now we also need to look for King Grass, but then he didn't hear any news.

Soon, the dinner they ordered was ordered. However, Sheyan did not rush to let the lame and stern-faced waiter leave. Instead, he put ten silver coins on the table and said with a smile:

"This is my reward for leaving you to ask a few questions. Well, if the answers to the questions satisfy me, then there will be an additional twenty silver coins as a thank you gift."

The mustachioed waiter first looked at Sheyan with doubtful eyes, and then put away ten silver coins:

"I only have five minutes. If I exceed it, Queen Schuecher in the kitchen will peel off my skin ------- that's a risk of at least ten platinum coins."

Sheyan smiled and said:

"Do you know where they sell king grass?"

The mustache waiter muttered:

"King grass, what the hell is that?"

He then asked unwillingly:

"Or can you wait another hour? I can help you find out?"

Fang Senyan raised his eyebrows:

"I will stay here tonight----------The second and last question is, is there a business here that sells plants or plant seeds?"

"You can find many magic material merchants in Buckland. The Shire's pipeweed is very famous. Sages often rush to buy it. This stuff is an indispensable magic material for them. The plant you need You can probably find it there Mr. Thank you for the silver coins."

The mustache waiter quickly took away the silver coins that Sheyan threw on the table, and suddenly turned around and added:

"If this is your first time coming to our hotel, I suggest you put a little butter on the bacon to make it taste better."

Sheyan smiled and nodded, but he kept thinking about one question in his head:

"Who wants to rush to Eriador in such a hurry? Is this a damn coincidence, or is it an ominous intention?"
