Infinite reincarnation of glory

Chapter 354 · Mine

"Mellon——" (elvish: friend)

Tauriel's Elvish language is very standard - as an elf, her accent is definitely more standard than any dwarf who has passed through the mines of Morel in the past. And of course, this secret door would not reject her.

The door opened in front of her, and the turbid air flowed out as the air pressure inside and outside changed. There is no smell of blood, but there is an extremely faint fishy smell. Even the nose of an elf cannot distinguish it, but the best of the reincarnators can accurately discern the inherent properties of the breath.

Li Shuaixi sniffed.

His nasal cavity evolved rapidly under the influence of the power of black light. A large number of dense, efficient olfactory units are secretly generated and then operated. And within a few seconds, a definite result was obtained.

"They are half-orcs, the native kind. There is also a small amount of trolls mixed in. The ratio is about 135:1, and the number of half-orcs should be more than 150,000, and they are distributed in six places with a certain distance. In the area...these six areas are distributed in a ring, and there is a huge hollow area in the middle..."

"Black Domain." Zhan Lan nodded. "My mental power cannot penetrate there... There is a strong sense of obstruction, and there is a possibility of breakthrough with an all-out explosion. There must be a very powerful monster entrenched there, and it is a level that requires concerted efforts to deal with it."

There is no need to say everything when there are outsiders.

But everyone knows that in the center of the mines of Moria is the wild Balrog entrenched here - one of the fallen Maia who followed Morgoth's rebellion in the past. It was awakened from the depths of the earth because the dwarves dug too deeply, and these daredevils who loved digging also met the end of 'death' for this reckless move.

There was no fresh blood in the air, and there was no stench of corpses in the air.

Tauriel pursed her lips. If she was still nostalgic for life, then her eyes must be full of surprise at this moment. However, she didn't, so the intelligence analysis of the reincarnations was just a fast passing wind in her ears. The wind was thrown behind her head, and she held up a lantern that illuminated the elves' journey to the west, and strode forward. Enter the ruins.

Groups of skeletons are reflected in the illuminated area - unlike other Western fantasy worlds, dwarves in the Lord of the Rings worldview are creatures of God. Their essence is earth and rock - when the dwarves die, they do not leave corpses for decay, but directly turn into earth and rock. And these dwarves who were a few years ago, or more than ten years ago, or even earlier, stood quietly in this area only tens of meters away from the exit like stiff stone statues.

Even if they die, they still stand like warriors. Their petrified arms are still raised high, and their still-incorruptible battle axes and sledgehammers seem to be about to chop off the heads of the enemies in front.

They can no longer do it.

Tauriel stood in front of them, as if he wanted to raise his hand to touch these petrified bodies, but stopped before the gesture of raising his hand was made. After all, she is just a Sylvain elf. The mutual hostility between elves and dwarves is due to their nature inherited from their respective creators at the beginning of their creation.

The agreement with Tauriel is actually completed here.

The dwarves finally rushed to a place only a few steps away from the door, but they were still unable to cross this final area. Then, it may be proven that the last dwarf in the mines of Moria died here.

But this is not the end of the mission of the reincarnators... not any of it.

"There may be survivors deep in the mine." Jiang Yu walked to Tauriel and waved to drive away the dark mist in front of her. "We haven't seen the orcs here yet, and we can't confirm that they are the ones who attacked your people."

"The commission we agreed on is not over yet."

Tauriel opened her mouth slightly in surprise - her eyes looking at the reincarnations were full of disbelief. Then, it turned into silence.

She probably thought it was some kind of mercy. Or justice... At least the reincarnations of the Central Continent Team, even one by one, wrapped themselves tightly before starting the battle mode to prevent the leakage of information. But at least his non-combat appearance and previous behavior can be regarded as roughly neutral.

"Thank you." She lowered her head slightly. "Let me lead the way from now on."

She also no longer hides the secret of her identity.

"I come from the Black Forest, the other side of the Misty Mountains. Sixty years ago, when the dwarf expedition went west to recover Morel, I traveled with them for a while because of some connections... They fought very smoothly at that time. , many Orcs entrenched in the mines were wiped out. One of them was even crowned King of Moria in the central hall, and before I left, he sent messages to many surrounding countries that Moria had been restored. news."

She shook her head slightly.

"I thought their next battle would be easy, and it was indeed inconvenient for me, Sylvain, to stay in the cave for a long time. So I bid farewell to Balin, the King of Moria, and his companions. And I stayed with my fellow tribesmen west of the Misty Mountains. Settle in the settlement...until the day comes when the power of darkness rises and our fellow tribesmen set sail to the west."

The origin of the story is not revealed, perhaps because it involves some personal emotion.

But the secret is no longer a secret when it is blurted out, even if it is only a small part of the moment - she had a very small emotional expression when she mentioned sixty years ago. Mixed with longing, pain, sorrow, and a heartbreaking love - Zhan Lan captured her emotional spectrum and made it into a fan chart and put it in the Soul Link group chat with the message 'This guy's lover is dead. And there is a high probability that he is a dwarf. And I think that as long as you still have the trait of 'emotional intelligence', no one will get to the bottom of this kind of thing.

Chu Xuan has no emotional intelligence.

But there is something Chu Xuan pays more attention to.

"Sixty years ago." He pushed up his glasses slightly. "...As far as I know, the predecessor of the Moria Expedition was the Lonely Mountain Expedition. And you once lived in the Black Forest...you participated in that war, and you witnessed the death of the last famous dragon in Middle-earth. fall from the sky?"

Tauriel responded immediately.

"Yes, sixty years ago. When the war broke out, I experienced... some things." She was reluctant to say more about this matter.

But there was one other thing she was willing to say more about. But it is more meaningful than the former.

"I did see Smaug's defeat... I saw Bard the Dragonbreaker strike it with a black arrow. I saw it wailing and fleeing towards the northern wastes. Thranduil... Your Majesty, said it suffered Suffering incurable trauma, I will never dare to step into the lonely mountain again. And after that..."

"Wait! Dragon Breaker? Not Dragon Slayer?" Jiang Yu opened her eyes wide. This is not good news. "Smaug is not dead? Didn't it mean that Bard killed it and then became the lord of Riverdale Town with this achievement?"

Tauriel gave him a strange look.

"It should be human beings spreading rumors around each other," she said, patiently explaining. "Mr. Bard did become the king of Riverdale Town because he defeated the dragon. But he didn't kill it - the dragon's scales were too thick, and even if the dragon's heart was hit by a special black arrow, it would only be injured. It could not penetrate it. Smaug was seriously injured as a result, but he did not die. I saw it escape with my own eyes, and after it left, the Orc army took advantage of the opportunity to attack, and fought with the elves and dwarves. The army fought together.”

very good.

The reincarnators looked at each other, with confusion in their hearts - Smaug, the last dragon recorded in the Lord of the Rings story. Although it may not be the last one in existence, it is indeed the last one still moving. And it has extraordinary combat power, and what is very important is that it had an alliance with Sauron during its lifetime.

Its power is basically fatal to the army. There are not many individual creatures that can still exert large-scale annihilation capabilities under the Great Barrier of Ilúvatar, and it is one of them. And there is no doubt that when the darkness of Mordor spreads across the Middle-earth continent and Sauron gradually regains his strength and combat effectiveness, he will definitely find ways to get his ally out of the recovery area to strengthen his own war situation.

——"Uh... I think, just a fire dragon, it shouldn't be a big deal?"

Zheng Zha, trying to speak in the spiritual link.

——"It doesn't look very powerful. It's also the descendant of dragons. Compared to ancestors like Ankaragon, it doesn't have much combat power. It feels like...at best, it's just a weakened Balrog. grade?"

Ankaragon is the most powerful dragon, the secret creation of Morgoth. It died in the First Age at the hands of a powerful elven warrior. As a descendant of Valar's creation, Smaug obviously does not have the level of the fallen Maia, the Balrog.

It sounds like this.

The reincarnators discussed quickly and came to a unanimous conclusion - even Jiang Yu, who had read The Hobbit trilogy. Of course, there is also a more critical element here.

——We can’t spare our hands to deal with Smaug now anyway. Even when we get out of here, we have a pretty full schedule to deal with.

Jiang Yu said, pointing out areas that deserve more attention.

——And, if the change in the worldview of The Lord of the Rings started sixty years ago...does this mean that it is deep in the mines of Moria? Are there really the remnants of the dwarves hiding there?

This is very possible. The mission direction of the main god increases the possibility of this speculation becoming true.

This ended the brief discussion among the reincarnators. Tauriel, who was unaware of this, naturally took over the responsibility of leading the way as a sentinel. And soon, she discovered some noteworthy traces.
