A week later, Li Zhuoguang and his group bid farewell to Elrond and prepared to embark on their journey again. Gandalf and his group decided to stay for a while longer. Li Zhuoguang knew that it was because Gandalf had not yet persuaded Thorin to let Elrond help them translate the secret language of the secret passage map. Without knowing the secret language of the secret passage, even with the key, they didn't know how to open it. In addition, in order to stagger with Li Zhuoguang and his group, Gandalf was afraid that there would be another conflict if the two parties set out at the same time. Before leaving, Elrond prepared a large bag of fruits and vegetables and gave it to Ariana. Originally, he saw that the bow and arrows used by Ariana were very rough, and they didn't look like what an elf should use, so he offered to give her a bow and arrow. However, when Ariana easily broke Elrond's fifth collection, Elrond gave up this idea. Not only the bow, but even the arrows sent out, Ariana couldn't use it. Her crude longbow was extremely powerful. When Rivendell's standard arrows were placed on the bowstring, every time they were released, the arrows would explode directly under the huge force and could not be shot at all. Elrond gave up the support of weapons and simply gave each person a small bag of Lembas. Lembas is a kind of crispy and thin biscuits made by elves. As long as it is completely wrapped in magnolia leaves, it can be preserved for a long time. Eating one piece is enough to support a whole day's trek. In the original book, when the Fellowship of the Ring visited Lothlorien, the elves there prepared this for the Fellowship of the Ring. However, this thing is not popular to eat too much, it can only be used as an emergency, because eating Lembas will make non-elven mortals tired of their limited lives and yearn for the immortal land-Aman.
Before the departure, Li Zhuoguang asked Elrond to send a letter to Thranduil to inform him of the visit that Li Zhuoguang and his party would make. Otherwise, with the Mirkwood covering an area larger than the Kingdom of Rohan, if the elves do not take the initiative to come forward, it will take Li Zhuoguang forever to find it. Before leaving, Li Zhuoguang specifically asked about the route through the Misty Mountains and the location of the Orc settlements living in the Misty Mountains. The elves who came to see him off kindly gave Li Zhuoguang a map of the Misty Mountains, and specially marked the location of the Orc settlements, and reminded them to take a detour. It's not that they look down on Li Zhuoguang and his team's fighting ability, but there are too many Orcs in the Misty Mountains, so don't poke a hornet's nest that can be avoided. The road in the Misty Mountains is complicated, so Li Zhuoguang and his team left their horses in Rivendell and traveled on their legs. However, everyone has special skills, and even if they run wildly on steep cliffs, they are not much slower than riding horses on flat ground. It's just that Wei Changfeng is still a little short of the heat, and sometimes he needs Li Zhuoguang to lend him the steel armor. After running for a while, Li Zhuoguang signaled everyone to stop. He took out the map and looked at it: "Yes, it's near here." Li Zhuoguang turned around and told everyone: "We will find a ring in a while. This ring will bewitch people, so if you feel something is wrong, use 'Jue' to calm your mind. Aliana, you don't know how to 'read'. I'll ask you to stay away in a while, so stay away." Everyone nodded. Another useful "circle" impact. After a few times, Li Zhuoguang found a place with a lot of life energy feedback. Anyway, this time he was not going to visit, so there was no need to be polite. Li Zhuoguang directly used the crimson touch to open the way, chiseling the rock wall that blocked the road layer by layer, and soon saw the fire. The orcs around saw the rock wall break open and someone got in. Even with their poor IQ, they knew that the newcomer was not friendly, and they shouted immediately. The orcs here hollowed out a mountain, built huts on the rock wall, and connected them with a simple wooden bridge in the middle. So this settlement looks big, but there is actually not much place to stay. Li Zhuoguang released his flying sword, flying along the wooden plank road and suspension bridge, piercing through the chests of all who were in his way. Few who reacted quickly and could jump out, most of them fell into the deep valley and died. Most of the orcs here are Snaga, a kind of half-orcs who are short and wretched, and lack courage. Their racial names are even used as insults by other orcs. So when Li Zhuoguang slaughtered hundreds of orcs in an extremely efficient way, other orcs dared not come forward. Li Zhuoguang shouted: "Come here, someone who can speak the common language!" There were orcs who knew the common language around, looking around vigilantly, but no one stood up. Li Zhuoguang used his flying sword, pulling out a red light, and another seven or eight half-orcs lost their heads. "If no one comes out, I will kill ten every time I breathe until all the orcs here are killed."
Instantly, a fierce quarrel broke out in the group of orcs. After a while, three orcs were pushed and thrown out by their own people and fell at Li Zhuoguang's feet. The three orcs raised their heads tremblingly and said: "Witch... Master Wizard." "Take me to see your king." The three orcs looked at each other and began to shake their heads. Li Zhuoguang killed one with a flying sword and said to the other two: "Take me to see your king." The remaining two hesitated for a moment, and during this hesitation, Li Zhuoguang killed another one. Before he said it for the third time, the last orc stood up and led the way: "Master Wizard, follow me." The surrounding orcs saw that there was a traitor among them, and they all glared at the guide and cursed in the orc dialect. Li Zhuoguang directly killed several of those who cursed the loudest, and the surroundings immediately became much quieter. Soon, under the guidance of the guide, Li Zhuoguang and his companions saw a mountain of meat. As a Snaga orc, it was a wonder that he could grow up like this. The orc king certainly knew what was happening ahead, but he was too fat to run at all. No matter how he shouted, no orc was willing to stand in front of him. Soon Li Zhuoguang came in front of him, and the orc king lowered his fat head helplessly: "What do you want, wizard?" Li Zhuoguang asked directly: "In your kingdom, is there any underground water source where fish can be caught?" The orc king didn't know what Li Zhuoguang meant by asking this question, but he still shouted something hurriedly to his side. After a while, an orc came out reluctantly and muttered orc language to the orc king. Li Zhuoguang found that the orc who came out was holding a short-handled harpoon in his hand. It seemed that he was a fisherman in this orc kingdom. After a while, the orc king said to Li Zhuoguang: "In the lowest level of my kingdom, there are three underground lakes where fish can be replenished." "Then ask him if there are any underground lakes where orcs often go missing." After asking the fishermen, the orc king translated honestly: "He said that in the lake at the bottom, orcs occasionally go missing. They all think there is a big fish in that lake, which will swallow them up when the orcs drink water by the lake." "Where is that lake?" "It's just..." Li Zhuoguang noted the location and said to the orc king: "Thank you very much for your help." "It's my duty to serve you..." Before the orc king could finish speaking, Li Zhuoguang cut off his head. Then, he picked up the crown on the orc king's head with a flying sword and shouted to the orcs around him: "Whoever gets the crown is the new king." As he said that, he threw the crown in the direction of the orcs. Those orcs who could understand the common language immediately rushed up, and other orcs who did not understand the common language followed suit when they saw someone grabbing the crown. Taking advantage of the chaos among the orcs, Li Zhuoguang put on his iron armor, rolled up a few people with the crimson touch, and descended to the bottom of the orc kingdom. After descending to the bottom, Li Zhuoguang listened to the scolding and roaring coming from above, and nodded with satisfaction. Gollum's hearing is very sensitive, but there must be some noise to cover up the tracks of several people. Li Zhuoguang told several people to walk lightly and walked to the underground lake in the direction pointed by the former orc king. He took out a cold chicken bought in the Shire from the storage bag and threw it to the lake.
Although Gollum is a hobbit of the Strong Body Tribe, and the Shire is the settlement of the Hairy Foot Tribe, I think the food of the Hobbits always has something in common. Gollum has been away from home for more than 400 years, and he should miss the food of the Hobbits.
