Magic Journey from Hogwarts

"Gandalf."

"King Elrond." Gandalf smiled and stepped forward. "My friend, where have you been?"

"We went hunting the half-orc army from the south and killed a few near the secret passage." King Elrond gave Gandalf a hug after dismounting, "The half-orcs dare to approach our borders, something or someone must attract killed them."

"It may be us." Gandalf said, and Thorin took a few steps forward with a blank expression.

King Elrond noticed the dwarf prince, and his expression became solemn, "Welcome, Thorin, son of Thorne."

"I don't think we've met."

"You look like your grandfather, who was King of the Mountain when I met Thor."

"Really? He never mentioned you." Thorin said lightly.

King Elrond didn't care about the plain tone of the other party either. Elves have an extremely long lifespan. Regardless of his identity, Thorin's grandfather was also a junior in front of him.

"Since you have come from a long way, let's go after eating!"

King Elrond spoke these words in the Elvish tongue, but Thorin could not understand them, and the dwarves behind him still could not understand them.

"What is he talking about? Is he insulting us?" Groin said angrily.

"No, Mr. Groin, he wants to treat you to dinner." Gandalf explained immediately.

The dwarves gathered together and discussed for two seconds.

Ge Luoyin's attitude improved slightly, "If this is the case, then lead the way!"

Walking up the stairs, Aaron looked at the river valley curiously. The peace and tranquility were even better than that of Shire. However, compared with the hobbit settlement, Rivendell has elite armed forces and gives people a sense of security. .

"Sorin, did you know this elf king before?" Aaron asked puzzledly, "Although it's the first time I've seen you, I don't think King Elrond is like the kind of person who has nothing to do with himself and hangs himself high." people."

"It's not him." Thorin shook his head complicatedly, "It's another elf."

"Oh!" Aaron raised his eyebrows. "In this case, I hope you remember what Gandalf said, and restrain your arrogance a little bit. After all, we are asking for help."

Thorin paused slightly, "Let's see what happens!"

Entering the banquet hall, the elves prepared beautiful music and exquisite green food to entertain the guests from afar.

But the dwarves don't know how to appreciate music, and they are full of disgust for the food on the table.

Aaron and Bilbo looked at each other, dumbfounded.

There is no meat on the plate, except for some dim sum, it is all fresh vegetables.

But these vegetables are all raw, it is really not easy to eat.

"Bilbo, have you ever read about the diet of elves?" Aaron lowered his voice. "It's much worse than the banquet at your house."

"I just know they don't like meat," murmured Bilbo, looking at the table full of vegetables. "Today is an eye-opener."

Aaron picked up a piece of lettuce, rolled some wild rice stems and carrots, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Bilbo was not as exaggerated as he was, and just took a few pieces of cake to pad his stomach.

"King Elrond, I hope you can identify these two swords." Gandalf said.

Although Thorin was somewhat reluctant, he still handed over the weapon in his hand.

"This is the beast-biting sword, the famous sword for beheading half-orcs." King Elrond pulled out Thorin's saber and sighed: "This sword was forged by my western high elf clan, I hope it will help you. "

"This is Granary." After returning the beast-biting sword to Thorin, King Elrond checked Gandalf's saber again, "It is the sword of King Gondolin's enemy, and it was the sword of the orcs in the first era. maded."

Hearing what King Elrond said, Bilbo quietly drew his short sword under the table, wondering what the origin of the sword was.

"Would you like to let King Elrond taste it too?" Aaron teased, "My ancestors had blacksmiths, and I can tell you responsibly that the quality of your sword will not be inferior to theirs."

"Don't worry, little brother." Balin comforted, "Swords are named after their exploits in war."

"You mean my sword has never been used in battle?" Bilbo was a little disappointed.

"Hehe! Not being on the battlefield before doesn't mean you won't have this opportunity in the future, and..." Aaron patted Bilbo's arm, and said meaningfully, "Every sword has its meaning when it is made. There is no special magic on swords and fencing, but your sword does."

Bilbo thought deeply, as if he understood why Gandalf had given him the sword.

The main purpose is early warning, and the secondary purpose is combat.

"How did you obtain it?" asked King Elrond.

"In the Troll's Cave on the Eastern Way," said Gandalf, "just before the Orcs came upon us."

"Why are you on Dongfang Avenue?"

Gandalf froze for a moment, noting that Thorin's face was not very good-looking, and also understood that the dwarf prince did not want the elves to know their purpose.

"We'll talk about this later."

......

After the banquet, Gandalf called Thorin, Balin, Bilbo, and Aaron to King Elrond and told him directly.

"We don't need the elves to take care of our affairs."

Thorin was righteous, with rejection written all over his face.

Although King Elrond gave him a pretty good impression, the elves did more damage to his heart.

"My God, I am tired of the stubbornness of the dwarves." Gandalf said wearily. "Thorin, give him the map."

"This is the legacy of my people, and its secrets are mine to guard."

"Elves are different from elves." Aaron said meaningfully, "If you can't solve the secrets, don't talk about protection, sometimes you have to try to trust others.

Also, if you don't like to hear it, it's time for us to ask for help. "

Gandalf was deeply convinced, "Shorin, you stand in front of the few people in Middle-earth who can understand, show it to King Elrond."

Thorin was silent for a few seconds, then put his hand into his bosom, and took out the family map.

Balin tried to stop him, but was interrupted by his reaching out.

King Elrond opened the map and was shocked to see the lonely mountain above and the evil dragon hovering on the lonely mountain.

"Iruber.

Why are you interested in this map? "

"It's mainly academic research." Gandalf interrupted Thorin, who was hesitant to speak, "As you know, such ancient objects usually contain secret words.

You can read Old Dwarven, right? "

King Elrond didn't answer directly, but carefully checked the map, "The text of the moon."

"The text of the moon?" Gandalf suddenly realized, "Of course, it is easily overlooked."

"What is the text of the moon?" Aaron asked curiously.

"As the name suggests, the text is read by moonlight." King Elrond explained, "The season and shape of the moon must be consistent with the writing."

"Can you read?" Thorin asked.

King Elrond smiled slightly, and led them to an empty terrace. There was a table made of crystal in front of the terrace.

"These runes were written on the evening of the summer solstice, under the light of the new moon about 200 years ago, it seems that you are destined to come to Rivendell." King Elrond put the map on the table, "Fate favors you, Thorin Oakenshield.

The same moonlight shines on you and me tonight. "

After the words fell, a crescent moon in the sky sprinkled white moonlight.

Under the moonlight, a few lines of white text appeared on the map.

"Stand by the gray rock when the thrush strikes, and the setting sun will shine on the keyhole by the afterglow of that Turin day."

Aaron blinked blankly, "It's quite poetic, but there is a riddle after solving the secret, which is too bullying!

I can only read one meaning, we have to reach Iruber before the day of Turin.

But when is Turin Day? "

"It was New Year's Day in the Dwarven New Year," said Gandalf, "when the last moon of Autumn and the sun of the first winter meet in the sky at the same time."

"This is bad news." Thorin frowned. "Summer is approaching, and the day of Turin is approaching."

"We still have time," Baring said. "Being in the right place at the right time, finding the entrance, and opening the door."

"It seems that I have to go for a long time, and I have to speed up." Aaron said with some melancholy, "I haven't traveled so long since I was born. It will take at least a year to go back and forth."

"Gaius." Gandalf appeared in front of Aaron with a smile, "cherish this journey, it is extremely precious and meaningful to a 13-year-old child."

Aaron:  …

I believe in your evil!

The picture is on my head. If it wasn't for the completion of the two system tasks, I would have left the team in minutes, believe it or not.

"You're only 13 years old?" King Elrond looked at Aaron unexpectedly, and then set his sights on Gandalf, "Mithranda, your picky eye is still as sharp as ever!"

"This, uh, uh...

Age is not important, what matters is that Gaius is far more reliable than you think, he is..."

"Cough cough!"

Hearing Aaron's cough, Gandalf smiled awkwardly, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

"In short, his background is complicated, but he is more reliable than anyone."

"So your purpose is to enter the mountain?"

Sorin asked back, "So what?"

"Some people will think it's not wise to do that."

"What do you mean?" Gandalf frowned slightly, feeling that there was something in King Elrond's words.

"You are not the only guardian of Middle-earth." King Elrond said meaningfully, and then left on his own.

"That's right." Aaron laughed. "If Middle-earth was only supported by a gray-robed wizard, it would have been taken over by evil."

"Someone is here, in Rivendell." Gandalf said slightly serious, "Thorin, take Bilbo and Balin to rest first.

Gaius, come with me. "

Aaron curled his lips and said disdainfully, "No."

He is not stupid!Gandalf dismissed the others, leaving him alone who was clearly up to no good.

"It's important."

"No matter how important it is, I won't go."

"Then what if it's related to your memory?" Gandalf smiled playfully, "This person may help you restore your memory, I don't think you will refuse!"

Hearing this, Aaron petrified on the spot.

Going, it means that I may enter the hole dug by the old yin, but if I don't lose my memory, this excuse will be useless, and I will have to jump into the hole I dug.

After being silent for a while, Aaron forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Forget it."

The two walked out of the terrace, and King Elrond took them to the highest room in Rivendell, where they could clearly see the scenery of Rivendell, including the waterfall and moonlight.

"Whether we help or not, the dwarves will march on Wushan, determined to reclaim the lost land.

Thorin Oakenshield didn't think he needed to explain to anyone, and neither did I. "

"I am not the one you need to explain," said King Elrond, beckoning him to look into the room.

Gandalf turned around, noticed the figure standing under the moonlight, and couldn't help but startled, "Queen Galadriel."

Aaron's eyes stayed on the face of the elf queen for a second, and he was not attracted by her beautiful appearance, but looked into her eyes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and Aaron reads wisdom and calmness in her eyes.

This queen is definitely not a vase, but a wise and powerful leader. Of course, her appearance is also very durable.

"Mithranda." Queen Galadriel raised her lips slightly, "Long time no see."

"Time has changed me, but not Queen Lorien." Gandalf smiled cautiously, "I didn't know King Elrond informed you."

"It's not him, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Gandalf's expression froze, and the moment he turned his head, he put on a smiling face, bent slightly to show respect, "Saruman."

The white-robed wizard held a staff and was neatly dressed.

Although Saruman also looks like an old man, he shows his sharpness, which is in stark contrast to the gray robe wizard.

"You've been very busy recently! My friend." Saruman smiled, and then turned his attention to Aaron. "I personally don't think our meeting is suitable for children to be present."

What the white-robed wizard said was very euphemistic, but the meaning was quite obvious: Don't interrupt children when adults are talking, no, stay away.

Hearing this, Aaron was not angry, and was even a little bit elated.

If he really wanted to fall asleep, someone would give him a pillow. He was thinking about how to avoid this meeting, but Saruman kindly helped him.

Although the arrogance of this white-robed wizard made him a little disgusted, at this moment Aaron silently gave him 1 likes: You are a good person.

"Respected wizard in white robe." Aaron bowed politely, "You are so right, I will leave now."

"Wait, Gaius."

As soon as Aaron turned around, Gandalf grabbed him by the coat.

Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "This is the suggestion of the white-robed wizard."

"Suggestions are not orders."

Aaron clapped his hands away and asked impatiently, "What is your purpose?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to make you familiar." Gandalf blinked at Aaron, "This is for your own good. The people here are all important people. It is good for you to know them."

"Ha ha!"

Aaron laughed out of anger, and wanted to cry even more.

If he wasn't worried about not being able to beat him, he really wanted to throw Gandalf down from here.

Nima!Conspiracy, no, this is a conspiracy!

During these more than two months of travel, he has been cautious and kept a low profile. He has not even used the most basic magic, just not wanting to come into the sight of these big shots.

But the "familiar face" arranged by Gandalf directly made his hiding for more than two months meaningless, so he couldn't play it.

"Gandalf, is this a bit of a joke?" Saruman said a little unhappy.

King Elrond and Queen Galadriel were also puzzled, not understanding why Gandalf, the famous Mithranda, would take such a fancy to a child.

"No, please believe me.

Aaron Gaius, this kid is special.

From the first time I saw him, I had a feeling that with his help, we would get twice the result with half the effort. "
