Chapter 147: A bunch of happy dwarves finally died
But now it was daytime, and the sky was covered by crows, with no trace of sky, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness. Fortunately, under the leadership of Lin Yu, everyone finally found the location of the gate.
Although it is the gate of the Dwarf Kingdom, there are words engraved on the gate in Elvish... "The Lord of Moria, the Gate of Durin, speaks friend and enters". It has to be said that the person who can come up with this sentence is really vicious. The biggest enemy of the Dwarves is not the Orcs, the public enemy of Middle-earth, but the Elves, whose personality, temper, culture, hobbies... even body shape, everything is not in harmony with them. Therefore, their only imaginary enemy is the Elves. The codeword for opening this gate is to say the word "friend" in Elvish, which is also the most unlikely word for the Elves to say to the Dwarves.
Because of this, in the original book, even a wise wizard like Gandalf the Grey would be at a loss when faced with this dwarven door and such a simple secret language, and he would think hard but could not figure it out, and even get mad with anger. Fortunately, this problem is not a problem at all for someone like Lin Yu who knows the plot.
Just before the stone door closed, everyone looked through the crack in the door and saw that the lake not far from the stone door suddenly had waves, and the waves were as turbulent as the huge waves in the sea. Then, dozens of thick octopus tentacles stretched out from underwater and whipped towards the crows in the sky.
The tips of these octopus tentacles were ferocious mouths covered with fangs, like alien giant snakes, which had swallowed a large number of zombie crows in a split second. That was the owner of this lake, the giant octopus monster Paul. Lin Yu was afraid of alarming this powerful water monster at first, so he moved cautiously. But it was obviously still provoked by the overwhelming zombie crows.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the prey it has chosen now is not the Fellowship of the Ring. As for whether it will have a stomachache or other mutations after eating so much rotten crow meat... that is not something Lin Yu needs to worry about... After the gate of the mine was closed, the last ray of light was also blocked, and everyone seemed to have entered another world. Then a stream of air with a slightly rotten smell but not very dirty penetrated into the nasal cavity, which made people nervous. "You will soon see the enthusiasm of the dwarves~~~! Cold beer! Large pieces of barbecued meat, and hairy dwarf girls. You will soon experience the taste of heaven, hahahaha... wait... what is that?"
Before the dwarf Kingpin could finish his words, he jumped off the white bear's back and ran towards a corpse on the ground not far ahead.
No... it wasn't just one body, but countless bodies connected together like a mass grave. "How... how is this possible? No~~~! This can't be true!"
But the reality is often extremely cruel. The dwarf Jin Bing, who had originally had high hopes and was eager to borrow troops to restore his country, suffered the most fatal blow all of a sudden.
The corpses here have been dead for a long time, conservatively estimated to be about 20 to 30 years. And there are not only dwarves. Judging from the skeletons and equipment, those fighting against the dwarves should be orcs.
Even the bodies of the dead at the gate of the kingdom were not dealt with. It was obvious that the Mines of Moria were no longer under the control of the dwarves. No matter how hard the dwarf Jin Bing tried to comfort and deceive himself, he could not change this cruel fact.
At this moment, the dwarf Kingpin stood blankly in the hell-like mass grave like a petrified statue. In his eyes, despair and grief intertwined, as if two burning flames were about to devour his soul. His body trembled slightly involuntarily, as if every cell was resisting the heartbreaking reality before his eyes. He had imagined countless nights and countless times with longing to return here, to join hands with his cousin Balin to revive the former glory of the Dwarf Kingdom. However, what appeared before his eyes at this moment was this dead silence and desolation, which was like a sharp blade piercing his heart fiercely.
Lin Yu and the others quietly walked to the side of the dwarf Jin Bing. They were also deeply shocked by the tragic scene. The breath of death in the air was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping them, making people feel an indescribable sadness in their hearts.
"We must be careful, there are probably unknown dangers hidden here." Lin Yu said vigilantly, his eyes were like a bright searchlight, searching back and forth in the endless darkness, as if trying to find those enemies who might be hiding in the dark. The Elf Prince Legolas gently pulled the bowstring, and the subtle sound was particularly clear in this silent environment. He was ready to deal with any sudden emergencies, and his eyes revealed a trace of uneasiness that was difficult to conceal. After all, in this dark mine where you can't see your hand in front of you, no one can predict what terrible things will be quietly waiting for them. After everyone took a look at the dwarf Kingpin who was in a trance, they ignored him and resolutely began to explore this mysterious dungeon.
The further they walked, the more shocked they were. After experiencing the romance and elegance of the elven city, the majestic and rugged unique style of the dwarven dungeon was more likely to arouse people's deep feelings. The first section of the journey was still an ordinary mine tunnel, narrow and gloomy, as if it was a passage to hell. However, after walking for several hours, the space suddenly became clear. Although they were underground, they had a wonderful feeling as if they were walking on the cliffs of a mountain. The abyss around them seemed to be a bottomless pit that could reach the center of the earth. It was so deep that the bottom could not be seen, which was daunting. Looking up at the top of the head, it was impossible to see the top of the cave, as if it was an endless void.
Dwarves are born diggers. They are almost completely isolated from the outside world and devote themselves to digging for minerals and treasures. Thousands of years have passed quietly. They have almost hollowed out the ground of the Misty Mountains and successfully built this amazing underground kingdom. No, this is not just a kingdom, but an independent underground world.
Although the scenery here is stunning, and because the space is so huge, the chance of encountering an orc army is greatly reduced.
