Five hundred and twenty-seven, the Prancing Horse Hotel in Buri Town
Brie Town is an important town connecting the north and south and east and west of the Charr Territory, to the east is the Eastern Avenue that leads directly to the Elven Clan Rivendell and the Dark Forest, and to the south is the North-South Avenue that leads directly to the Terran Rohan and Gondor and other countries.
In the world plot of "The Hobbit", the human kingdoms such as Rohan and Gondor are not involved much, and it will not take place directly in the southern countries of West Middle-earth until the Lord of the Rings plot opens sixty years later.
However, according to the plot of Gandalf vs. Thorrin. Oak Shield's words, those human countries in the south now seem to be in civil war, not very peaceful.
In short, caravans from the east and south would first come to Brie, and then take the brandy bridge into the hinterland of the Shire.
Of course, the feeling of coming from Zhu Ling Road all the way, the Eastern Avenue leading to Rivendell and the Dark Forest Elf Clan seems to have been deserted, anyway, Zhu Ling Road didn't meet anyone on the road.
The caravans that can come to the Shire from the southern human kingdom through the North-South Expressway are endless.
As a result, the town of Buri looks distinctly luxuriant, with a permanent population of nearly 10,000 people, and all kinds of hotels, taverns, carriage shops, and all kinds of shops are scattered all over the streets of the town.
The town of Brie has no walls, the roads are mostly muddy and muddy when it rains, and the houses appear to be a jumble of mud and stone huts, apparently built spontaneously and haphazardly.
Perhaps it was a small town in the beginning, that is, later there were more business trips, and more townspeople gathered here, so that Brie Town is now prosperous.
Just like the town of Rivervalley near Lonely Mountain in the plot, it was also developed with the help of commerce, but Riverdale Town is a place where several waterways converge, while Brie Town is formed by land.
Of course, Riverdale's main business is minerals, but because Iruber, the capital of the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, was occupied by the evil dragon Smaug, there are no minerals mined by the dwarves, and it has fallen to this point.
And the town of Brie still relies on the stability of the Charles. It's still a thriving town in West Middle-earth.
Zhu Linglu walked into the town, and the surrounding townspeople didn't have anything strange about Zhu Linglu's dress, there were too many people dressed like this in Buri Town, and everyone just thought that Zhu Linglu was a lone adventurer.
Zhu Linglu also walked casually around Buri Town.
This town of Brie, like Riverdale, has the mayor, nobles, and guards who preside over the order in the town, so Brie is relatively stable.
In the end, Zhu Linglu found the Prancing Horse Hotel that had appeared in the original plot, which was a tavern in the front and housing in the back.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, Zhu Linglu glanced at the hotel's prancing horse signboard, then pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in.
The entrance is a bar. There is a boss in it to settle accounts and collect money.
Then there is the lobby of the tavern, with at least 150 square meters of space, dozens of tables and chairs, and a fireplace with a bonfire, which provides a certain amount of heat for the bar.
Now in the lobby of this Prancing Horse Hotel, there are also seven or eighty percent of the guests.
No one cared too much about Zhu Linglu's arrival, only a few people with other purposes would secretly look at Zhu Linglu, guessing Zhu Linglu's origin and identity, and wondering if they could get any benefits from Zhu Linglu.
Zhu Linglu casually found a place by the window and sat down. Soon, a poor maid with most of her chest exposed came up to ask Zhu Linglu for food.
Most of the maids in the hotels and bars in this town can sleep with them as long as they give money.
It's a pity that most of these women also look rough and coarse, and they can't attract the interest of people with status. Only some traffickers will use a small amount of money to solve their physical needs.
Zhu Linglu casually asked for some toast and barbecue, and asked for a glass of beer or something, so he sent her down.
Zhu Linglu didn't ask her directly for any news. Just pricked up his ears and listened to the chatter in the lobby, and the hotel and bar were originally the places with the most news.
Zhu Linglu remembers that in the original plot, Gandalf and Sorin met at the Prancing Horse Hotel on a rainy night. Therefore, Zhu Linglu knew that it would never be so coincidental to meet Gandalf and Thorin today.
However, in the original plot, Gandalf and Thorin met at the Brilpan Horse Inn, and it seems that Thorin heard that there was news of his father Thorne near Denland, so he thought about rushing to Denland.
It's just that this is actually a conspiracy against Thorin, just to trick Sorin into going to Den Rand.
And in Dengland, someone has secretly placed a bounty order for Thorin's head, and the plot does not explicitly say who gave the bounty order, but from the name of the dark bounty, it may be the hand of the demon lord Sauron.
Judging from the later plot, the demon lord Sauron has arranged a team of orcs to go to the lonely mountain of Iruber, and it is likely that he originally wanted to occupy this dwarven fortress and obtain the countless treasures piled up inside.
And Thorin. As a dwarven prince, Oak Shield can call on the dwarves of the seven clans to unite by virtue of his identity.
At that time, it naturally affected the Demon Lord Sauron's plan to control Iruber, so he got rid of Thorin first, and the dwarves of the seven tribes fought separately and became a plate of scattered sand, which was not to be feared.
That's why Gandalf advised Thorin not to go to Rand at that time, but to unite the armies of the Seven Dwarves to recapture the capital of Irub in the Lonely Mountain and ascend to the Dwarven Throne to deal with the unexpected changes that may come.
And then there's the rest of the story, Thorin. Oak Shield takes the twelve dwarves and the hobbit Bilbo back to the lonely mountain of Iruber to find the King's Jewel.
According to the plot information in the movie, twelve months after the encounter at the Prancing Horse Hotel, Bilbo and the thirteen dwarves had already arrived near the dark forest, and then hid in the wooden house of the shapeshifter Bion.
In this way, Gandalf and Thorin must have met two or three months before the adventure party of the next thirteen dwarves set off.
It should have taken some time for Thorin to gather the other twelve dwarves, but then Gandalf arranged the meeting place directly at the hobbit Bilbo's house.
Zhu Linglu was speculating in his heart, and at the same time, he also pricked up his ears and listened to the words spoken by the guests around him.
It's just that the guests in these inns are all gibberish, but not of much value, and some of them are about hobbits.
It seems that the guests from outside don't know who the hobbit is, and then some people who know about the hobbit describe it to them, which is also full of false information, which is not as clear as Zhu Linglu knows...... (To be continued......)
