Chapter 36 Compromise 【Please recommend】

"My God."

"This is where."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Or are we all dreaming?"

"I must have come to the world of fairy tales."

"."

Looking at the scene in front of him.

Everyone was stunned.

What appeared before the eyes of the expedition members was a valley.

A huge valley surrounded by raging rivers.

In the distance, one after another majestic waterfalls pour down from the towering peaks, arousing the rising mist, and under the sunshine of autumn, forming long-term rainbows across the valley.

The valley is surrounded by steep cliffs.

A big river rushes down.

Surrounding the fantastic valley in the center day and night.

A series of tower-like buildings with exquisite and powerful shapes stand up one after another.

The building with white gold as the main body is constructed in trapezoidal steps, interlocking and extending upwards.

The most traditional and exquisite fantasy style architecture.

There are a lot of green trees, fountains, gardens and squares dotted in the middle.

From a distance, this is definitely a dreamy valley that can only appear in fairy tales.

And the castle in the center is the most beautiful hanging garden in the world.

Even though Morgan knew where he was, and was prepared in his heart, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

From his birth to the present, the huge valley in front of him has amazed him more than any city buildings he has seen before.

In my previous life, because of my occupation, flying around the world was normal.

Whether it was created in the previous life, it was amazed by the whole world, and the architectural landscape with exaggerated difficulty.

It is still a natural feature that has been carefully carved and is said to be naturally formed.

In his opinion, it is far from what is in front of him.

At this moment, he realized that this kind of place, which is comparable to the legendary paradise and fairy tale, really exists.

Everyone looked at the scenery in front of them in amazement.

Except for one person.

The moment Thorin Oakenshield saw the scene in front of him clearly, his complexion immediately became gloomy.

As the minister of the former Yamashita Kingdom, he is now the king of the Turin dwarves.

Although Thorin Oakenshield has never really been here.

But I also heard about this place more than once from books and other people.

Then think of what the other party said when he quarreled with Gandalf not long ago.

And before Gandalf volunteered to lead the way.

Thorin Oakenshield reacted almost instantly.

Just about to open his mouth to settle accounts with Gandalf.

But saw Gandalf speak first.

"The valley of the Imlaris."

"But usually he has another name, does any of you know?"

Gandalf looked at the introduction of the amazed people, and asked them with a smile.

Turning his eyes away from the beautiful scenery in the distance, Morgan smiled and said, "Rivendell!"

"Yes, this is Rivendell."

"If the east coast of the middle-earth world is the safest and most comfortable place, it must be here."

Gandalf smiled and continued to introduce.

Thorin Oakenshield finally couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to question: "Is this the plan you've always planned?"

"Seeking refuge from our enemies?"

Gandalf seemed to have expected Thorin Oakenshield to have such a reaction.

He just shook his head calmly and said, "There are no enemies here, Thorin Oakenshield."

"The only hostility you can find in this valley is the hostility you bring yourself."

Gandalf spoke calmly.

Everyone can understand the meaning of the words.

Notice the difference between the two.

The other members of the expedition immediately became quiet consciously.

It seems to be aware of the problem with his tone.

Thorin Oakenshield took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down and said, "Do you think the elves will bless our adventure?"

"No, they will only try to stop us!"

Gandalf still said calmly: "Of course, they will."

"But we have questions to answer."

"Sorin, we haven't been able to figure out the secrets on the map yet."

"You know what that means."

After Gandalf finished speaking, Thorin Oakenshield fell silent immediately.

Yes, the secret that leads to the depths of the lonely mountain is hidden on the map of the lonely mountain, which is the most troublesome problem for him.

Thorin Oakenshield once had a malicious guess: Could it be that Gandalf knew to deceive himself on purpose.

However, when he touched the key that belonged to the hidden cave in the Lonely Mountain.

Thorin Oakenshield quickly dismissed this idea.

Aware of Thorin Oakenshield's silence, Gandalf struck while the iron was hot, and continued:
"Thorin, we have no food now, no horses, we have nothing, Bombur Bofur is still wounded, and there are orcs out there"

"If we don't come here, where can we go?"

"If we want to be successful, we need to use some strategy."

"Respect, and charm."

"You don't have to do anything else, just let me communicate."

Hear Gandalf's words.

Thorin Oakenshield was silent for a long time, and finally said two words helplessly: "Okay."

Thorin Oakenshield finally compromised.

Although 1 people in his heart are unwilling to compromise.

But Gandalf was right.

The expedition had previously lost the makeshift camp.

At this time, there was no food, no horses, and there were still a large number of orcs outside. Bombur Bofur was injured, and the team needed a good rest.

And most importantly, the map's secrets need to be unraveled.

Thorin Oakenshield couldn't think of any other way besides accepting Gandalf's method.

Like Gandalf just said, sometimes strategy is needed.

The stakes are high on this adventure, and nothing can be lost, not even by asking for the help of the enemy elves.

As long as it can be successful, it is worth it.

After Thorin Oakenshield strengthened his inner thoughts.

Then look at the beautiful river valley that countless people have marveled at in the distance.

It feels really pleasing to the eye.

The expedition continued on its way.

Or Gandalf leading the team.

Morgan was right behind Gandalf.

Bilbo followed Morgan.

For Bilbo.

In the entire expedition team, apart from having a better relationship with Gandalf, there is the human Morgan.

Although a group of dwarves treated him quite normally, Bilbo could clearly feel the ridicule and sarcasm in their words from time to time.

Bilbo also knew that it was Gandalf's fault that the dwarves had agreed to let him join their ranks.

The protection along the way is also because of Gandalf.

All was clear in Bilbo's mind.

Although being looked down upon by dwarves, he will be very angry.

But Bilbo wanted to prove himself more.

As Gandalf said in his Bag End at Hobbiton.

He wanted to prove that he was no worse than his grandfather and grandfather, and he also wanted to prove to Gandalf, who was optimistic about himself and believed in him, that his vision was correct.

So, Bilbo, an adventurous newcomer who will be frightened by wild boars from the start.

When the expedition team was overtaken by half-orcs in the forest, he had already dared to take up the short sword and fight with half-orcs.

This is a big improvement.

It was just that the situation was critical and no one noticed.

In the expedition team.

Besides Gandalf, Bilbo wants to befriend Morgan most, of course.

For the reasons Gandalf had commanded.

There are also reasons for Morgan's character.

Because he had never seen a trace of contempt, ridicule or mocking tone and expression in Morgan's mouth and eyes.

So Bilbo was willing to approach Morgan.

"Morgan, listen to what you just said, have you been here before?"

Bilbo quickened his pace to keep pace with Morgan, asking casually.
