As is happening now, the sixty or seventy orc knights who originally surrounded the adventure party have now been shot and killed by the elven knights led by the half-elf Elon of Rivendell, and the other half-orcs have begun to flee one after another.

But the elven knights were not ready to let go of the remaining orcs, and began to chase them down on horseback.

The other two orcs who found the adventure party on this side of the cave were soon shot off the wolf by the elven arrows shot from afar, and one of the orcs fell directly into the cave.

Chili stepped forward to check on the dead orc, and found that the long arrow inserted in the half-orc was an elf's, and then jumped to the entrance of the cave in a few steps, looked at the battle situation outside, and shouted in his mouth, "It's an elf!" ”

At this point, Bilbo found another path in the cave, "I don't see where this road leads, should I follow it?" ”

"Of course it's gone!"

Thorin turned and looked over to look at it, barely thinking.

Knowing that there were elves outside, and that the elves had saved them again, he didn't want to go out and meet the elves again, so he groveled in front of the elves.

Listening to Thorin's words, Gandalf seemed to smile secretly on the side, but in a blink of an eye, he found that Zhu Linglu was staring at him, Gandalf felt that Zhu Linglu had seen through his arrangement, so Gandalf glanced at Zhu Linglu.

Zhu Linglu shrugged his shoulders, and in his spiritual telekinesis, the elven knights outside seemed to be helping to collect their lost mounts.

The party then proceeded to follow another exit from the cave towards the unknown.

This alpine plain is located in the upper layer of a mountain, so you can go all the way through the secret passage under this cave, but you also go to the interior of the mountain.

Most of the way is a trail, either on the edge of a cliff or within a mountain trail.

Along the way, the adventuring team also found many hidden valleys, some of which were under everyone's feet, through some narrow cracks. Or a steep mountain cliff that suddenly appears in front of everyone's eyes.

Or when they walked through a mountain road, everyone looked down and saw that there were dense trees and water under the cracks in the mountain road, as if they were walking in the suspended mid-air.

Of course, there are some places on the mountain road that are broken ditches, but even dwarves can jump over these broken ditches, but there is a deep flow of water in the broken ditch.

But as the terrain of the road winds downward, everyone can feel the air getting warmer and warmer.

Soon the road seemed to come to the waist of the mountain, and many birches and oaks appeared on both sides, as if it had entered a basin valley of a mountain range.

It didn't take long. The party set out on a path paved with white stones, some of which were very fine gravel, others covered in moss.

Gandalf also apparently needed to rely on this white-stone path to find his way, which should be the only way to guide the way.

But it was quite interesting, as Gandalf's head and beard would shake from side to side whenever he looked at the rocks on the ground, and everyone followed his gaze.

"It's finally here!"

When it was almost dark, the adventuring party finally arrived at their destination, and Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, the others gathered together with some doubts. Follow Gandalf's gaze forward.

There was a valley in the distance, and you could hear the sound of flowing water jumping on the rocky riverbed, and the air was filled with the scent of trees, which made you feel that this was the smell of elves.

A river runs through the valley in front of it. There is a stone bridge over the river that gives access to the valley, and many parts of the valley are also twinkling with warm lights.

"Imradlis Valley, which has another name in the lingua franca of Rivendell, the last home of the elves east of the sea. Located here! ”

As the group slowly approached the valley and came to the stone bridge outside the valley, Gandalf turned to introduce Zhu Linglu and the dwarves and hobbits. Especially looking at Thorin's eyes, there was a little smile.

"This is what you have been planning all along, to seek refuge from our enemies!"

At this time, Thorin naturally understood that Gandalf had brought him to Rivendell, which he didn't want to come, and Thorin looked at Gandalf's face, and his heart was naturally very complicated.

"There's no one to do against you here, Thorin. The oak shield, the only hostility in this valley, comes from you! ”

Gandalf looked at Thorin and said to him with some annoyance, if this dwarf wasn't so stubborn, he wouldn't have had to go around in such a circle to let Thorin come to Rivendell.

Thorin looked at Gandalf angrily, but when he was here, what could he say, "Do you think these elves will approve of our mission?" They will try to stop us! ”

"Of course they will! But we still have questions to answer, and if we want to succeed, we need to have some skills, respect, and a lot of charm, which means let me be in charge of the conversation! ”

Gandalf looked at Thorin and said helplessly again, but he didn't want this dwarf to mess around in Rivendell, so he couldn't help but warn him beforehand.

However, Thorin just looked noncommittally at the valley, and naturally an elf in the valley noticed the arrival of the adventure party, and then several elven guards followed an elven nobleman and walked out of the valley.

The elven nobleman who is the leader should be Lindill, the chief manager of Rivendell, and he can be regarded as the second person in Rivendell besides the half-elf Elon.

"Mithrandier! I heard you entered the valley! ”

Naturally, the elven steward knew Gandalf, and he greeted Gandalf loudly from afar.

"Hi Lindill! I must talk to Lord Elon! Gandalf also greeted Lindil.

Here, Thorin instructed the other dwarves to be on guard, and then took up his weapon and shield and turned on the elves who had come out of the valley, apparently treating them as enemies like orcs.

The hobbit Bilbo looked at both sides a little blankly, completely unsure of what to do.

As for Zhu Linglu, he turned his head to look at the entrance of the other avenue in Rievendell, but Zhu Linglu knew that the half-elf Elon had not returned yet.

Sure enough, as Gandalf and Lindil spoke, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the half-elf Elon returned to Rivendell with his elven knight.

Gandalf and Elon greeted each other, and Elon rode to Thorin and the other thirteen dwarves, who were still on guard, and spoke to Thorin first, "Welcome, Thorrin, son of Thorne!" ”

"I'm sure we've never met!"

Thorin responded to Elon with some hostility...... (To be continued......)
