The dwarves in the room immediately quarreled.

Some believe that the town of Bray should be forced through, while others believe that the capital of Arno should be detoured.

Thorin was troubled by these pointless quarrels.

This Operation Lonely Mountain had just begun, and it gave him a dismount.

The dwarven team must not be infected with the plague, but if they go around, not only will it be a waste of time and energy, but there is also a possibility of encountering the plague again.

Thorin asked in a deep voice, "Then there is no other way to go?" ”

Balin shook his head, "There is no other way here except for Bray Town, I remember that there is an ancient tomb nearby, if you go down the ancient tomb to the deep mountains, you will go all the way to the Rohan Kingdom, but in that case, it is to the south, and our lonely mountain is obviously in the northeast." ”

Thorin turned back to Gandalf and asked, "Gandalf, what can you do?" ”

Gandalf was also at a loss, "This plague is strange, I would love to go in and see what is going on - I am the grey-robed mage of the Holy White Council, and I have an inescapable responsibility to all living beings in Middle-earth. ”

Thorin said in a deep voice, "But you are now part of my team. ”

Gandalf also said in a deep voice, "But there is a town where people are dying right now, and if it is really a plague, there may be even more!" ”

Thorin frowned and said, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Gandalf smoked his charr tobacco and didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze a little.

Xu Feng cleared his throat, "Well, I have a suggestion." ”

Thorin raised his eyes to look at Xu Feng, "Say it, swordsman. ”

He didn't really expect a swordsman to come up with any useful advice, but Maple was a member of the expedition anyway, and Thorin had to show respect for Maple Spirit.

"The dwarven team is encamped in a suitable area outside of this valley, and Gandalf and I went into the town to see what was going on," said Xu Feng. ”

Thorin immediately shook his head and said, "No! We can't waste time staying here. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "I know it's a waste of time to stay here, but it's better than you wasting a week going around in circles, right?" Besides, Gandalf is a member of the Holy White Council, and he can't see the plague and die without help, so if you were to force the expedition to leave now, then Gandalf would definitely choose to stay. ”

Gandalf nodded slightly.

Naturally, he didn't want to "turn his back" on the expeditionary team, after all, he took the lead in pulling up this expeditionary team.

However, if the plague prevails, then he, the gray-robed mage of the Holy White Council, has an unshirkable responsibility and task.

Thorin saw Gandalf and Xu Feng singing and harmonizing, and his heart suddenly became a little annoyed.

However, he was a king after all, and he quickly calmed down and seriously analyzed the situation in front of him.

Indeed, this method of the Terran swordsmen seems to delay the journey for half a day, but if they can find a way to contain the plague, then it is equivalent to saving the expedition team six and a half days of travel!

What's more, if Thorin really forcibly took the expedition, Gandalf would definitely stay.

At that time, the expedition will lose a powerful boost.

Thorin pursed his lips, "Half a day." ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Wise choice. ”

Thorin said in a deep voice, "But you must promise me that you will not be infected with the plague, and if you do, then you will not return to the expedition." ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Don't worry, we will definitely not affect the expeditionary team." ”

Hammer immediately said, "I'll go with you two." ”

Xu Feng shook his head, "No, Hammer, you stay." ”

Iron Hammer was about to speak, Xu Feng said to her with his mind: "Iron Hammer, don't forget our mission, our bounty mission this time is to ensure the safety of Bilbo and Thorin, when we were in the Brando Mountains before, we have found orc scouts, indicating that the forces of the Orcs have infiltrated the territory of the human race, I am now accompanying Gandalf to Bray Town, and you must stay with Thorin and Bilbo to protect them, in case of major danger, you can also contact me with your mind." Completing bounty missions is all that matters. ”

Hammer sighed helplessly, "Okay, you two be careful. ”

Thorin said in a deep voice, "Alright then, Chiliferi, you two go find a suitable place to camp, Gandalf, Diedy, you go." ”

Gandalf nodded at Thorin, "Be careful, too. ”

With that, Gandalf rode around the warning sign, and Xu Feng nodded at the hammer and followed.

Thorin frowned and looked at the distant backs of the two of them, and said lightly: "Let's go, leave this valley first." ”

The expedition team then turned back, found a suitable place to camp nearby, and began to enjoy instant noodles.

Xu Feng and Gandalf walked side by side, and when they saw the outline of the town, Xu Feng took out two green pills, one for himself, and handed one to Gandalf.

Gandalf asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Xu Feng said: "This is a detoxification pill developed by a friend of mine that can resist various toxins and viruses. ”

Gandalf was surprised and said, "And this magical thing? Diedy, why didn't you take it out sooner? In that case, won't Thorin and the others be able to pass through here safely? ”

Xu Feng smiled: "I've thought about it too, but, first, I don't have so many antidote pills on hand, our expedition team counts you, there are a total of 17 people, and I only have 5 pills in my hand, which is not enough at all." Second, I don't know if these pills are 100% effective, so I can't risk the lives of the members of the expedition. ”

Gandalf smiled, "Diedy, you're very thoughtful. It's just that I'm going to be on an adventure with me, and I'm really a little sorry to go. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "It's nothing, I am also a Terran, and now that the Terran is in danger, I naturally want to get closer - Gandalf, we make a mask out of cotton cloth and cover our mouth and nose to avoid respiratory infection." ”

"Okay, that's a good idea." Gandalf immediately ripped off two pieces of cotton cloth and made a simple mask for himself and Xu Feng, and then he applied a layer of blue anti-disease magic to the mask to ward off basic germs.

Gandalf said, "This magic of mine can only be guaranteed for three hours, and within three hours, remember to ask me to recast it." ”

"Okay." Xu Feng said with a smile: "With the dual protection of the antidote pill and the disease removal mask, we should be foolproof this time." ”

"It's just ......," Gandalf sighed through his magic mask, "there's no way to smoke charr tobacco." ”

Xu Feng laughed.

Gandalf laughed too.

Although the road ahead is full of uncertainties, the optimistic attitude of the two is surprisingly consistent.
