87 Arrive at destination
Obviously, Charles had ignored the sapphire that had been lost in his unconscious mind, because when he was using it in a daze, he felt that all the power had escaped.
When he woke up and didn't find the gem, he subconsciously regarded it as a "disposable product".
After all, the raw materials of that gem are really weird - wine.
...
Two horses, one red and one white, were a little troublesome to move forward in the forest, but they were still moving towards the northwest of Mingniguos quite quickly.
This route is actually a bit circling, but there is the Death Valley of Nandorseb, just north of Mingniguos.
So they had to take a detour towards the Brehill Forest in the West, and then head north from the forest where they had encountered spiders.
So, if it weren't for that long coma, they would have no need to enter Dorias, and it would be troublesome to go around.
"But in the long run, it is necessary for your kingdom to establish a relationship with King Singer." Fenrod said as he rushed through the forest.
Charles did not deny this, so although he felt that he had a conflict with this land and encountered many dangers after arriving, he still decided to visit the place again after returning from Gondolin.
No matter how much you complain, no matter how lazy you are, you can bring a strong ally to the New Realm without much effort. Why not do it?
There was a conversation indiscriminately, and his eyes kept scanning the depths of the deep and complex forests around him.
The mutation of his eyes made him always feel excited along the way, especially to find an existence that could create hostility to him for experiments.
In fact, this kind of existence is usually easy to find.
Not to mention those simple-minded beasts, many dark creatures bred by Morgoth in ancient times still exist in various hidden places on this land, and you can still find them if you actively search.
But maybe he was in the territory of Dorias, and it was extremely peaceful along the way. Not to mention monsters, no normal beast could touch a single one.
Obviously, he could not show off his mightyness towards a rabbit.
"I don't come when I should come, and I always come when I shouldn't come." He shook his head, and he no longer took the initiative to look for it. Anyway, the change already exists, and the experiment is not in a hurry.
The route is very simple. After crossing the forest called Brighill at your feet, you can cross a river and reach the entrance to the hidden kingdom.
However, simplicity does not mean that the distance is short. In fact, they have been traveling in the forest for five days and have not completely left this place.
But I encountered some unexpected situation.
"That's...human?"
A pair of pure black eyes stared at the two riders passing by in the gap under the deep groove tree roots, but after Charles glanced over, the eyes disappeared quickly.
Because the forest was dense, he could only see a brown Dunshi figure flashing through the deep ditch.
Because he did not notice the hostility, Charles was not too nervous, but it was still strange.
Because the person I saw was really weird.
He has thick hair all over and a short stature, comparable to a dwarf.
But both shoulders and hips are very solid in width, and Charles thinks that man is a bit like a square - if his cross-section can be wider.
"That should be a special human branch that has been circulating in the Brighill Forest recently." Fenrod also saw the figure, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.
"I once heard a fellow traveler who also loves to travel say this race, called savages, lives in the caves of Brighill, is good at distinguishing plants and communicating with animals, and even has some magic related to rocks. But..."
As he said that, he shook his head: "They are too ugly, and not many of their fellow tribes are interested in them, so there is very little information and information in the tribe, and it is not even clear when they appeared within the bounds of Berryand."
This made Charles unable to help but look at him, and the other party shrugged: "But I actually considered coming here to observe. You should know that naming a strange race yourself is a matter of honor. And I don't think the title of savage can summarize the unique civilization of this race."
Shire nodded when he heard this.
After Soren's incident, he was very sure which world he was in. At the same time, he also knew the current time here.
I vaguely remember that the story of the Lord of the Ring took place in the late third era, but he is now in the early first era.
It is not clear how many years an era has, but obviously the time span is very long.
So most people are very strange to the location.
At the same time, he knew nothing about the savage he had just seen and the race behind him-
Obviously, Charles, who has only watched the movies, has very little understanding of the world.
So for various reasons, he rarely thinks about whether the information such as movies matches the content here.
After all, Sauron in his memory was a big, fiery-ridden eyes or wearing armor, but he met a perverse demon shadow, which was nothing different.
...
With the chat, they continued to rush.
I didn't encounter any dangerous things along the way, except that I could find some short and fat guys (that's what Charles called them) secretly observing and following them secretly.
Because of his spiritual talent, Charles did not feel hostility, but could instead detect the pure curiosity and kindness in the hearts of these strange races. This also made him really interested in exploring.
Because although these guys are ugly, they are very distinctive.
However, because of the journey, he was not embarrassed to delay his trip.
Although he didn't mention it, he never forgot that Fenrod's trip was entirely to help him, not to himself.
Therefore, it is better to reduce the troubles. After all, because of his "recruiting bees and butterflies", this journey has been delayed for a long time.
All the way was safe and sound, gradually, as they approached the edge of the forest, the short and fat guys began to stop following.
And when they walked out of the forest and arrived in an open area, a shallow river came into their eyes.
"This river is called Xiruan, which spans most of the Belleirander from north to south. The Glimmer Pond is also a section of this river."
Looking at the surging river ahead, Fenrod, who has a wide range of knowledge, explained: "This place is called the Bulishiach Ferry, but it cannot be controlled by sailors. Look, its river surface is very shallow, and we can walk over it."
This is true. The river section here seems very scattered due to the dense rocks. When walking there, there are often smooth pebbles for the two elves and their mounts to step on.
After crossing the river, Fenrod took Charles to jump into a dry trench.
The riverbed at the foot of the ditch is densely covered with cracks, and the mounds on both sides gradually rise as they move forward.
This dry river is winding and covered with weeds, and it is quiet around you while walking.
But at this time, Charles could vaguely feel some sharp eyes staring at him.
This gaze did not appear from around, but was above the head.
Looking up, you can see that in the sky where the clouds spread, several small black dots were circling above the dry river.
From the mouth of Fenrod, he could know that it was the Manway Eagle stationed in the mountains.
The dry river was inconspicuous, and the end was even covered by large patches of dense forest branches, so they had to lie down and crawl over.
Then at the root of the rock covered by plants, a cave covered by vines emerged into the eyes.
When he entered the cave, everything around him suddenly became dark, with a very short height above and below. Charles had to bend over and move forward, and Fenrod, who was taller than him, felt even more uncomfortable.
However, shortly after walking, this narrow situation improved, and they seemed to have entered an underground hall.
However, even if their eyes were adapting at this time, they could not see any light here. There was only hazy darkness and a gloomy cold wind.
Charles wanted to use tricks to try to create some light here, but he was not aware of the strange world.
In fact, shortly after they continued to walk, a warning sound suddenly sounded from the end of the darkness.
"Stop!" said the voice, "Don't move a little! Otherwise, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, you will have a dead end."
"I am Fenrod of Slond, the king of Gondolin, and a close friend of Turgon, the king of Gondolin." Fenrod, who had always been gentle and kind, spoke seriously and majestic at this moment.
"This is the son of Princess Aretil of our tribe and Eor of the Cinda tribe, His Majesty Canel of the Kingdom of Linton in the East."
So something was discussed in the darkness, and then a group of footsteps quickly approached.
The mysterious appearance of the hidden kingdom Gondolin also came into Shire's eyes.
