Keep moving forward along the rugged path with abyss cliffs beside you.
When the figure of the Elf City-Rivendell behind him became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from everyone's eyes.
All the members of Company have now completely left Rivendell.
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
Thorin. Oakenshield feels very good as he feels free of restraints.
When chatting with Morgan from time to time, he even took the initiative to ask Morgan about bounty hunters.
You must know that during the previous more than one month of travel, except for some matters within the team, Thorin. Oakenshield rarely spoke, let alone took the initiative to talk to anyone.
Thorin. Oakenshield's actions appear to other members in Company as the reason why Thorin trusts Morgan.
But in Morgan's own opinion, it was not just the reason for trusting him.
First, as Company members have seen, Thorin. Oakenshield does have some trust in Morgan.
That is because Morgan is very powerful. In the previous battles with Orc and Troll, Morgan's strength was obvious to all.
It's also because Morgan's identity is different from that of Dwarf.
They don't belong to a group of Dwarfs, but they are all subordinates of Thorin. Oakenshield, and are his people.
Thorin. Oakenshield maintains his own identity. Apart from work matters, he will naturally not talk much with Dwarfs.
Morgan is not like the wizard Gandalf, a wizard who can't even guess his true thoughts and still tries his best to help him.
This gives Thorin. Oakenshield limited trust in Gandalf.
Morgan is not without any ability. He can only join the team because of his relationship with Gandalf. At the critical moment, Halfling Bilbo needs to be saved by others.
Therefore, Thorin. Oakenshield looks down upon Bilbo at all.
Compared with the above three types, bounty hunter Morgan is powerful but has a simple purpose.
This makes it easier for Thorin. Oakenshield, who is naturally suspicious, to trust Morgan.
Although Morgan himself is also suspicious and cautious by nature.
The secret of the Lonely Mountain map was unlocked, the team members were repaired, and they also received dry food, supplies and drinks. They also used Rivendell to get rid of the pursuit of Orc.
It can be said that the entire Company members are in good spirits this time.
Except Bilbo is a little melancholy.
Without the pursuit of Orc, even if they were attacked by wild beasts during the journey, it would be nothing to this elite Expedition Team.
Expedition Team was repaired from Rivendell and continued on the road.
Climb over the high mountain wilderness and cross the snow-capped mountains and forests.
When Expedition Team was standing at the foot of a mountain range made of rocks covered with dust.
It has been more than half a month since the group left Rivendell.
"Boom."
"Rumble"
The sky was dark and gloomy, with thunder rolling in the sky.
Looking at the vast mountains with sparse vegetation and bare sand and rocks around them.
Thorin. Oakenshield looked heavy.
"Balin, is this the only way?"
Thorin. Oakenshield turned to look at Whitebeard Dwarf Balin.
Balin understands the meaning of Thorin. Oakenshield.
Such rocky mountains and the upcoming thunderstorms.
The difficulty and danger of the journey will increase sharply.
The road ahead will be very difficult.
The most unacceptable thing is that there is no suitable place to take shelter from the rain and repair.
"No more"
"Well, it's not impossible. There is another way, if we are willing to spend an extra month."
Balin first shook his head, then nodded, thought for a moment and then spoke.
"No!"
"Durin's Day is not far away, we can't afford to waste a month."
After hearing what Balin said, Thorin originally thought there were other options. Oakenshield immediately rejected the other way Balin said.
"Follow me, we'll spend the night in the mountains tonight."
Thorin. Oakenshield turned around and shouted to the members behind him, then took the lead and walked up the mountain.
Morgan stood next to Balin, saying nothing to the conversation between the two Dwarf.
At this time, Thorin. Oakenshield made a move, and Morgan immediately followed.
Morgan has memories of this journey in the plot, and they are very profound.
If the plot in my memory remains roughly the same.
Expedition Team will then encounter the legendary battle of Stone Giant.
The battle scene was earth-shattering, and the members of Expedition Team who were involved in it were in extreme danger.
When Morgan in his previous life saw this scene in the movie, he was really sweating for Company.
In his opinion, the most dangerous and difficult moment in the entire Company is this scene.
I believe everyone who has watched the movie has similar feelings.
Tell the truth.
More than half a month ago, at Rivendell.
Morgan has thought about whether to stay with Gandalf in Rivendell.
After all, the scene of the battle between Expedition Team and Stone Giant was too thrilling.
When I saw Orc in front of a movie screen in my previous life, I didn't realize that there was much danger in it. On the contrary, because of Orc's ugliness and stupidity, I even thought these cannon fodder bitches were a bit cute.
But after coming to this world, I saw Orc with my own eyes for the first time and fought with it.
Morgan put away such childish thoughts. He was sure that all he needed to do was to see Orc with his own eyes.
There is absolutely no thought that Orc is cute in my heart.
You can imagine when a dozen tall and strong men armed with sharp weapons and hungry faces faced a fat and strong pig.
When you are that fat pig, facing monsters that want to kill and eat you at any time, even to tear you alive.
Do you still think the other person is cute?
It was only after Morgan saw the brutality of Orc with his own eyes that he hesitated for the subsequent scene where Expedition Team encountered Stone Giant.
Orc are so brutal. Faced with a battle between Stone Giant who are as big as mountains, the level of danger is definitely several times more dangerous than what is shown in the movie.
Morgan is not the protagonist and does not have the aura of immortality.
Although he now has a certain ability to protect himself in Middle-earth, he does not want to seek death.
If possible, Morgan naturally does not want to experience this.
However, he signed an employment contract with Thorin. Oakenshield.
Then, and most importantly.
Gandalf, Thorin. Oakenshield and Dwarf Balin know about the Rivendell plan.
They didn't tell Morgan.
Even if Morgan's strength and other aspects shown along the way are very good, the fact that his origin is unknown is enough to make the three of them fearful.
Morgan Although they knew all their plans in their minds, the three of them did not say it explicitly.
Morgan can only pretend that he doesn't know anything.
If you don't know all the plans, you have no reason to stay.
What's more, this trip is also a journey that Morgan must participate in if he wants to get the One Ring.
Because after Expedition Team luckily survives the battle of Stone Giant, he will encounter the biggest turning point in the entire movie.
The protagonist is Bilbo. Baggins who has no sense of presence in the team along the way.
Bilbo will encounter the monster "Gollum" in the next underground Goblin Kingdom, and then very, very easily pick up the One Ring behind Gollum, who is regarded as a treasure by Gollum.
If Morgan wants to obtain One Ring, it must be obtained before Bilbo.
Otherwise, once Bilbo is obtained, with One Ring's ability to become invisible, it will be difficult for Morgan to obtain One Ring from its opponent.
This is the reason why Morgan must participate.
As for why you want to obtain One Ring, it will affect the plot changes in your memory.
This question is too simple.
Because One Ring can become invisible.
As long as your willpower is strong enough, One Ring can make you invisible forever.
Such an absolute life-saving artifact.
Morgan What reason do you have to give up?
What's more, once he gets the One Ring, he will naturally become a plot character who can stir up the Middle-earth situation.
At that time, whatever he does can increase the World Exploration Progress in his body, and he does not have to keep following the characters in the plot to make progress.
I believe that by then, the importance of the One Ring will be felt.
The plot characters will probably all converge towards him, without him needing to take the initiative to get close to the plot characters.
Of course, these are all speculations by Morgan.
But the possibility is extremely high.
If Morgan can really get the One Ring and control it.
His thoughts above are no longer speculations.
Having the future plot direction in mind is indeed an important basis for Morgan to survive in this world.
But if the memory of the plot could be replaced by the One Ring who can become invisible, Morgan would replace it without hesitation.
Morgan Familiarity with the plot is for survival.
But if it can be replaced with the One Ring, which can greatly improve his combat effectiveness, he can better protect his life and survive better.
Morgan What's the reason not to change it?
Of course, these are only possible if Morgan can successfully seize and control the One Ring.
For now, it's just Morgan's plan.
If the capture of One Ring fails, everything is empty talk.
"Rumble"
The sky is getting darker and darker, thunder is roaring, and dark clouds are rolling and gathering.
The heavy rain is not far away.
Company A group of more than ten people were walking with difficulty on an extremely rugged and steep rocky path.
The group set out from Hobbiton. The journey lasted three months and they traveled hard all the way to here.
Middle-earth has traveled through countless steep mountains, rivers, snow-capped mountains and wilderness.
We have never seen rugged and dangerous mountain roads, but the winding trail in front of us is definitely the most dangerous one Company has ever walked.
This trail is basically made of rocks. One side is close to the steep rock wall, and the other side is the dark, deep and terrifying cliff.
The actual width of the trail that can be walked in the middle is no more than one foot wide (about 30 centimeters).
Most people will feel panicked just looking at such a scary trail.
Not to mention standing on it, carrying packages, and walking on it with weapons and equipment.
Dwarf Bofur walked slowly with one hand on the uneven stone wall beside him. He turned his head and glanced at the dark abyss nearby. He felt his head was dizzy and couldn't help but said loudly, "This is definitely the last time I will take such a road. I swear."
Dwarf Dori, who was walking in front of Bofur, immediately replied, "You can't swear, then Thorin has to say it."
Dwarf Fili, who was walking at the end, glanced at the dark abyss behind him, and also said, "This road must be the most difficult road to walk since we set out!"
Dwarf Dwalin, who was further ahead, also spoke, "I'm curious, who dug such a road?"
Hearing the words spoken by the brothers behind him, the white-bearded Balin, who was following Thorin. Oakenshield, said, "This road doesn't look like it was dug out specially, it looks more like it was formed naturally."
Morgan, who was walking behind Dwarf Dwalin, glanced at the abyss beside him, took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued moving forward.
However, the team was moving forward slowly. Dwarf and Morgan, who were still chatting leisurely, finally couldn't help but said loudly, "I think we should spend our energy on finding a shelter from the rain as soon as possible instead of chatting."
"It's going to rain soon, and it doesn't look like the rain will let up. Then we'll be in trouble."
The cold wind was howling on the mountainside next to the abyss, the sky was dark, dark clouds were rolling, and thunder was rolling in the sky. Everything indicated that a heavy rain was about to hit.
After Morgan finished speaking, Thorin. Oakenshield, who was at the forefront of the team, immediately raised his head and looked at the sky and then at the speed of the team's advance.
Then he immediately turned around and said loudly, "Morgan is right, we need to speed up and try to find a place to rest before it rains."
"Pay attention to your safety and follow closely behind!"
Thorin. Oakenshield As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shut up.
Speeding up such a dangerous alley, anyone who dares to chat while distracted is looking for death.
At this moment, Bilbo, who was walking behind Morgan, suddenly made a sound.
"Hey, what do you think that is?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Bilbo's finger and saw a goat-like animal with sharp horns on its head standing on the more steep and dangerous rocky slope above Company, looking at everyone.
"Oh my God, what kind of animal is that?"
"It can actually stand there, isn't it afraid of falling?"
"It's not small, it can give us a good meal. Morgan, can you shoot it?"
"It's too steep there. There's no point in shooting it. It'll fall down."
Morgan shook his head and spoke loudly.
Just at this moment.
"Rumble"
A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the dark sky.
Immediately afterwards, huge raindrops came crashing down.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa"
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa"
It was like a pouring water, no, it was more than just a pouring water, it was as if a hole had been opened in the sky, and heavy rain poured down directly from the hole.
The rain hit Company and everyone couldn't even open their eyes for a while, let alone moving forward.
The sky and the earth were immediately filled with mist.
The whole sky is getting darker and darker.
Thorin. Oakenshield struggled to open his eyes, braved the heavy rain, turned around and shouted at the team members behind him who were unable to lift their heads due to the heavy rain, "We can't stop here!"
"Everyone stand up, hold on tight, and be careful where you step!"
"We have to keep going!"
The voice of Thorin. Oakenshield finally made everyone who was stunned quickly come back to their senses.
Company continued to move forward hard in the heavy rain.
At this moment, Dwarf Dwalin suddenly looked at the sky, his face suddenly changed, and then he yelled with all his strength, "Be careful!"
Dwalin As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone raised their heads.
Then, I saw a huge, black thing, like a meteorite, flying towards the peak where everyone was standing from the towering mountain peak in the distance.
