The eagles flew out of the Misty Mountains and landed on the ground with the adventuring party.

The ground looks like oak and elm trees, with wide meadows and a river running through it.

And beside the river stood a boulder that looked almost like a hill, and when viewed from the air, it seemed like the last guard of the distant mountains, or like a large rock thrown by the tallest stone giant in the misty mountains.

Soon, one by one, the eagles landed on the boulder, dropped off their passengers, and flew up to their homes.

On one side of the rock, there are a number of steps that appear to have been cut out to lead to the river, clearly forming the shape of a ferry, and on top of the ferry are huge stone slabs that lead to the meadow on the other side of the river.

The members of the adventuring party watched the eagles depart in the night sky, and began to discuss the current situation of the group, mainly Gandalf, of course.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have safely crossed the Misty Mountains, I remember this is called the Kallock Ferry, and this river is called the Grey Flood, and it is still some way from the path we should have taken in the north, if it had not been for our hasty escape from the mountains."

Gandalf first introduced everyone in the adventuring party to the current location, apparently he still knew where it was, and perhaps he had walked around here before.

"There is no one living in this area, except when a new friend moved in after I left a few years ago, and I remember that there was only one person I knew who lived not far from here, and he had carved the steps on the rock."

"Now, we have no food, no luggage, no mounts, and the orcs are still behind us, and will surely continue to follow us! Perhaps we can go to him for help. ”

He wasn't much of a fan of dwarves, though. It's scary when he's angry, but if you can please him, he's also a very generous and good person. I must warn you that he gets angry easily. ”

Gandalf seemed to hesitate again, apparently the man he knew was not very easy to get along with, and he was going to take the dwarves over to find his help.

But now, apart from this person, there is really no way to solve the most serious problem of the adventure team, so after thinking about it for a while, Gandalf continued. "You all have to be very polite when I introduce him to you. I thought, I should introduce you slowly, maybe two at a time? You have to be very careful not to annoy him, or God knows what will happen. ”

"Is that the person we're going to meet?"

"Can you find someone else who isn't so grumpy? Can you explain a little bit more clearly? ”

“……”

When the dwarves heard Gandalf's words, they became curious about the man, and when they heard Gandalf tell them so solemnly, they all asked questions like this.

"Yes. That's true! No, I can't! I'm explaining it all very carefully,"

Gandalf's head was a little engulfed by the dwarves' words, and he answered the dwarves' questions separately. Then he shoved the noisy dwarves with his wizard's cane and continued, "If you insist on knowing more, I can tell you. His name was Bion. He's very strong, and he's a skin-changer. ”

When Bilbo heard Gandalf's introduction, he was suddenly inexplicably frightened. The scream exclaimed, "What! Is that the kind of guy who skins rabbits and sells them for money? ”

Bilbo thought they were the kind of mountain hunters, and Bilbo and the hobbits were somewhat similar to rabbits, preferring to live in caves, and sometimes being treated as rabbits by skinning hunters.

Therefore, hobbits will naturally have a little fear of this kind of hunter.

"No, no, no, no, no!"

Gandalf hurriedly stopped the hobbit's words, "Mr. Baggins, please stop being stupid, and I solemnly warn you that as long as you are within a hundred miles of his house, you must not mention any fatal phrases such as furriers, carpets, skins, and furs!" ”

"He's a skin-changer, he's going to change his skin, sometimes he's a big black bear, sometimes he's a strong black-haired man, well, that's a bit like Haven, and now that I think about it, maybe he's from the Eastern Continent too. But before that, I only knew that he might be a descendant of a man and a bear, or an heir to the first human people of this continent, and I wasn't sure, I always thought that the latter guess was more correct. ”

"Well, I haven't asked him that question either, he's not the kind of person who can answer questions patiently, he has arms as thick as hams, and a thick black beard, I can only tell you so much, and that's enough."

"Anyway, he lived in the oak grove in front of him, built a tall wooden house, and raised a lot of cattle, sheep and horses when he was in human form. He did not eat them, nor did he hunt or prey on wild animals, and he kept many ferocious wild bees, which lived on cheese and honey most of the time. ”

"So if we can get his help, we should be able to get our mounts and food supplies again, okay, so be it, we'll have to go find him!"

Gandalf didn't seem to have seen this skinchanger for a long time, so he couldn't help but recall a little bit about Bion, and then his gaze stopped on Zhu Linglu's body again.

But it wasn't very important, and he was sure that the party would have to go to Bion's cabin and look for Bion's help.

And Zhu Linglu listened to Gandalf's words, and also smiled, but according to the introduction of Bion in the original plot, Zhu Linglu originally suspected that he might be a druid, who could transform into an animal and liked natural things.

But now after listening to Gandalf's introduction, Zhu Linglu suddenly doubted that this skin-changer Bion would really come from the Eastern Continent, so would the current Eastern Continent be the era of the Wu Clan?

I remember that Saruman said before that the East Middle Earth Continent was wild and barbaric, and Zhu Linglu was afraid that he would say too much and make a mistake, so he didn't dare to ask again, so now Zhu Linglu really doesn't know anything.

Of course, these still have nothing to do with Zhu Linglu, and Zhu Linglu is also habitually diverging in four dimensions.

Bilbo the Hobbit and the other thirteen dwarves didn't ask any more questions, although they still had a lot of doubts in their minds about this Bion.

Led by Gandalf, the group walked past the Culoch ferry and walked on again...... (To be continued......)
