Chapter 238: Brown-robed Wizard
After a near-miss accident, others also arrived here.
Looking at the corpses of trolls on the ground, Gandalf looked solemn and at the same time showed surprise at Wayne's fighting power.
Compared with ordinary orcs, trolls are obviously much more powerful in combat, and their skin is very rough and hard. They have abilities similar to petrified skin. They are difficult to be seriously injured by ordinary swords. It takes many warriors to work together to defeat this kind of monster. monster.
Unexpectedly, Wayne killed them all so easily, and one of them was directly blown into flesh and blood, exuding a burnt smell. It was obvious that he was not killed by ordinary means.
"They are mountain trolls. They are minions of darkness. They often act together with orcs. I didn't expect that the power of darkness would spread here so quickly." As he said this, Gandalf took out the map he carried with him and drew it
. Together with Thorin and Wayne, they watched the light of the bonfire.
Their location at this time was still about a few days away from the Glen. Gandalf pointed to the Glen and said to Thorin:
"Thorin, regarding the secret message left by your father, maybe we can go to the Glen to find the Elf King. Elrond's help."
"He is the most knowledgeable and wise scholar in Middle-earth. He should be able to answer this problem for us."
However, Thorin immediately expressed his objection when he heard the word Elf, and the prince still When the Lonely Mountain was conquered by Smaug, the elves did not save them, and they were deeply resentful.
As the creations of the God of Creation, the elves have a unique position in the world of Middle-earth, and the relationship between the dwarves and the elves is very complicated. There are both cooperation and conflicts between them, and they have been entangled for tens of thousands of years.
After listening to Gandalf's speech, Wayne tapped the map thoughtfully and said, "
Rivendell in Rivendell?"
"I am very interested in this place, and after traveling for so long, we also It’s time to go to town to buy some supplies.”
"Presumably this respectable Elven King Elrond will be willing to give some food and wine to us warriors who defeat the evil dragon Smaug."
Gandalf nodded immediately after hearing this. , as a wizard who has lived for tens of thousands of years, he is most familiar with the Elf King Elrond. He knows the character of this king very well, and knows that this half-elf king is absolutely willing to help anyone who fights against the forces of darkness.
The key information to deal with Smaug was on that map. Regarding this issue, he would not let Thorin be stubborn.
Seeing that Thorin and the other dwarves were still reluctant, Wayne thought for a while and revealed half-truthfully:
"Actually, I have another piece of news, and I was planning to confirm it before telling you." "
However, we happened to meet each other today. Troll, I guess this news is correct."
During this journey, Wayne's strength and magical power won everyone's attention, and no one dared to ignore what he said.
Gandalf touched his beard and asked:
"What did you find, Wayne?"
Wayne looked at everyone and did not hide anything. He said directly:
"Everyone should have discovered that I can talk to animals. , this is my bestiality ability. I often ask nearby birds to help us explore the road ahead and get all kinds of information." "Recently, some birds told me that there are animals appearing
far away behind us. We saw many other people. They wore armor, looked different from us, held weapons, and had wolf-like mounts beside them." "Now it seems that
those things should be orcs. These monsters have noticed our whereabouts. They are trying to track us and prepare to attack us."
Hearing Wayne's words, everyone was shocked. Gandalf's face darkened and he immediately asked:
"Are you sure, Wayne? How far are they from us? ?”
Thorin's face also changed. Among them, Gandalf didn't look very fighting. Although the other dwarves were in good physical condition, they only had weapons in their hands. The only ones with armor were him and Wayne. , if faced with the siege of orcs, it would be difficult to survive.
In fact, the current situation is that the orcs have not yet come, but according to the development of the original work, this will only happen in the past few days.
Wayne said vaguely:
"There is still about one or two days to go. Although animals are clever, they do not have such high intelligence, and many questions cannot be answered." Faced with
such a dangerous situation, Thorin and Dwarf People no longer insisted. After all, the elves who had a gap with them were the elves in the misty forest, not the elves in Rivendell.
Dwarves are naturally stubborn, but they are not madmen or fools. Although seeking help from elves makes them a little awkward and embarrassed, for this Lonely Mountain mission, some problems must be solved even if they are difficult.
Different from other people's worries, Wayne actually hopes that those orcs will come to him quickly so that he can let go of his hands and feet and kill them.
In his opinion, with the assistance of the Deathclaw Robin, even if the Orcs sent an army of hundreds of people, it would be impossible to defeat him, and they would only be wiped out bit by bit by him using various means.
Of course, if it was really an army, he probably wouldn't have that much ability. He would be distracted from protecting other people in the expedition team during the battle, and would have to rely on themselves to fend for themselves.
Soon, under the guidance of Gandalf, everyone drove for two more days and arrived at an open rocky plain. However, just as everyone arrived, an old man wearing a tattered brown robe, his hair full of bird droppings, and smelling of beasts, driving a wooden trailer pulled by a giant hare came over.
He was thin and spoke incoherently, but after seeing Gandalf, he seemed very excited. He immediately pushed away the dwarves around him, ran to the gray robe wizard, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.
But when the words came to his lips, this guy actually forgot and just said vaguely:
"Gandalf, I came to you to tell you a piece of news, but when the words came to my lips, it was strange that I didn't know what to say." "Oh! What kind of news was it? I actually forgot about it
. This news is very important, and I have obviously taken it to heart very seriously!"
This old man was crazy and looked very slovenly, as well as the special rabbit-pulled cart, which made everyone in the expedition team look at them in wonder. .
When Gandalf saw him, he immediately explained to the others in the team:
"This is the brown-robed wizard Radagast. He has been monitoring the whereabouts of the orcs in the forest."
Hearing the name of the brown-robed wizard, the others Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Wayne looked at the old man with interest, feeling quite amused.
There are currently five wizards in Middle-earth. The most famous one is of course model worker Gandalf. This old guy can be said to be the most active wizard. In the original work, he always plays the role of strategist and wise man, always guiding everyone. , work together to fight against the forces of darkness.
Next is the white-robed wizard Saruman who will rebel in the later stage. This wizard is much more powerful than Gandalf, but he is powerful but weak at heart. As the secondary god Maia sent by the Creator God to maintain order in Middle-earth, , actually because of fear, he directly defected to Sauron and became a traitor.
Finally, there is the brown-robed wizard Radagast. This guy is more of a druid than a wizard. His main ability is to communicate with various other creatures. In the later stage, he even called in a lot of tree people to help deal with half-people. Orcs are also a key role.
As for the other two blue-robed wizards, neither the original book nor the movie mentioned the specific circumstances of these two characters. They are probably either dead long ago or have defected to the dark side.
After introducing the brown wizard, Gandalf walked to him, found a stick insect from Radagast's mouth, and took it out.
It turned out that this old fool swallowed a bug in his mouth, which caused his strange behavior now.
After taking out the bug, Radagast returned to normal and began to tell Gandalf and everyone the news he had received.
First of all, as Gandalf predicted, more and more dark forces began to spread from Modo. Many orcs had left their nests and began killing and looting in various places.
Not only that, more and more evil, evil spirits and other various evil forces are slowly awakening, such as spiders, undead, twisted creatures, all kinds of very terrifying.
Secondly, and most importantly, in the dark capital of Dol Guldur, Radagast discovered the traces of an evil necromancer, and also obtained an evil magic sword from there. All the signs showed that, The once-dead dark tyrant Sauron is quietly resurrecting, and with the awakening of this dark tyrant, the dark power of the entire Middle-earth world will make a comeback.
Everyone was a little shocked when they heard the news, but Gandalf's face was the most solemn. The dark tyrant Sauron is the enemy of all races in Middle-earth.
In order to eliminate this monster, countless heroes and warriors have sacrificed their lives. Now this monster will reawaken. This heralds a new war between darkness and light, which has begun to quietly brew.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard an extremely ferocious roar, as if it was the roar of some ancient giant beast.
Just when they were at a loss and making random guesses, Wayne's expression changed, he took out the huge Sword of Victory from the space bracelet, and said to everyone: "It's the message from
Robin, it has discovered the orcs. "
You hide here for the time being, don't run around."
"Wait until I kill those orcs, and you can come out again."
As he said, he didn't care about the reactions of others, he just threw the magic flying carpet, and then everyone With surprised eyes, he flew towards the direction of the huge roar.
Shortly after he left, Thorin and others were unwilling to let their allies fight alone, and immediately pursued Wayne with the other two wizards, all the dwarves and Bilbo in the direction where Wayne left.
However, before they could get closer, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
On an open plain, dozens of wargs were not attacking the enemy, but just running away desperately.
Behind them, the huge Deathclaw Robin with bulging muscles and sharp claws was killing these beasts like a tiger dealing with rabbits.
