Marvel World Traveler

Liu Ruian is still very confident about his acting skills.

Not to mention what happened this time, Dwalin and the others did go too far.

It's okay to mess around in Hobbiton, but still do it on the territory of human elves.

Hehehe... It's not like he's looking for death, but he's not a bit embarrassed!

It is precisely because of knowing this that Thorin Oakenshield, who has always regarded himself as the prince of the Turin dwarves, was directly asked and was speechless.

Well, under normal circumstances, with the stubbornness and arrogance of the dwarves, there will always be reasons to refute.

But whoever made Liu Ruian let go of his momentum, he immediately suppressed what Thorin Oakenshield wanted to say.

Watching someone calm down his headache, Gandalf on the side took the opportunity to say:

"Thorin, you can put this matter aside for now. I think you should show the map to the Elf King."

"Our affairs have nothing to do with the elves!" Thorin Oakenshield roared with an angry look on his face.

"For God's sake, Thorin, show him the map." He insisted knowing that this would happen.

"The map is a relic of our ancestors. I have the responsibility to protect it. Outsiders have no right to see it." Thorin Oakenshield, who was completely indifferent to the opinions, flatly refused.

Faced with this answer, Gandalf felt for the first time that the tempers of his companions were indeed annoying!

"Stop trying to act like a dwarf with me. Your pride will make you suffer." Gandalf said angrily:

"You must know that you are the only person in Middle-earth who can understand that map. Take it out to the Elf King quickly."

I don't know whether he was convinced by what he just said, or whether he finally came to his senses in the face of his old friend's anger.

Thorin Oakenshield stared at Gandalf for a while, then put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat.

"Thorin!" Balin, who was still adjusting to his numb body that had been stiff for too long, shouted before he could stop him.

After looking at his companion, how could Thorin Oakenshield not know what he wanted to say.

It has to be said that although dwarves have many bad habits, they are not without their strengths.

At least once you make a decision, you won't be a mother-in-law or dragging your feet.

No, after taking a deep look at Balin, Thorin Oakenshield walked up to the Elf King Elrond and handed over the map he took out.

Elrond, the Elven King, took the map and solemnly opened the small, thin map in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Elbor..." Recognizing the terrain on the map at a glance, the Elf King Elrond raised his head and asked:

"Why are you interested in this picture?"

Just when Thorin Oakenshield felt that since the map had been taken out, it would be okay to just tell the truth.

But before he could speak, he heard Gandalf suddenly interjected:

"Mainly for academic research, you know, these kinds of artifacts sometimes have hidden messages."

Faced with Gandalf's answer and the astonishment of Thorin Oakenshield and the others, Liu Ruian couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on his face.

With such an unreliable answer, how could Elrond believe it with his intelligence.

However, the Elf King only looked at Gandalf deeply, and then did not expose this lie.

"I heard that you are still studying ancient elven literature, right?" Gandalf asked after glancing at Thorin Oakenshield.

The Elf King Elrond, who did not answer immediately, kept flipping through the map in his hand, trying to unlock the secrets on it.

"Sethven Ithil (Sindawen)" said Elrond, who saw something.

"Words of the Moon?" Gandalf, who understood this foreign language, said with a look of surprise as soon as he asked:

"I see, this kind of writing is easily overlooked."

"You are right, the Moon Text can only be read through moonlight." Elrond, who continued to look at the map in his hand, said:

"The moon's course and shape must be the same as when written to appear."

Even though Thorin Oakenshield's hatred of the elves has not diminished at all, he has to admit that he does need the other party's help.

"Then can you read them?" Thorin Oakenshield asked with a somewhat complicated expression.

"You can give it a try." The Elf King Elrond looked at the other person for a while before saying.

At this moment, Liu Ruian, who had been standing next to him just now, suddenly interrupted:

"Maybe it doesn't have to be that troublesome."

The sudden words not only broke the "weird" atmosphere between Thorin Oakenshield, Gandalf and the Elf King Elrond, but also made the three of them stunned.

"By the way, the dragon is a mysterious and powerful mage. How could I forget this?" said Gandalf, who quickly reacted.

Although Thorin Oakenshield was really angry that his companion had been trapped by someone just now.

But the prince of the Turin dwarves finally knew that no matter how bad Liu Ruian was, he was still better than the elf.

What's more, although what the other party did before was irritating, when you think about it carefully after you calm down, it's not unreasonable.

In addition, Liu Ruian himself is a powerful mage, which will be of great benefit to Elbor's future.

So Thorin Oakenshield was just stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly:

"Long, do you have any idea?"

"I just happened to memorize a few related spells, you can try them." Liu Ruian replied humbly.

Faced with this answer, Thorin Oakenshield didn't hesitate at all. He rudely snatched his map from the Elf King's hand and walked to Liu Ruian.

Not only was Elrond not angry at such a rude move, he was actually looking forward to what would happen next.

After all, the Elf King was more interested in Liu Ruian's spells than the map on his opponent's side.

"Please ensure the integrity of the map." Thorin Oakenshield said solemnly as he handed over the map.

"You can rest assured about this. Even if it can't be processed, it won't hurt this map."

Liu Ruian, who nodded, was not polite after speaking. He directly reached out and took the map in his hand, and then threw a "detection magic" spell on it.

When the aura of the spell disappeared, a faint layer of light, a bit like moonlight, emitted from the originally ordinary map almost at the same time.

As expected by Liu Ruian, this map also belongs to the category of magic items.

Think about it, not to mention the moon characters on the map, the map from 200 years ago can be preserved intact until now. It would be strange if it is not a magic item!

But to the disappointment of Thorin Oakenshield, Gandalf, and Elrond, who all gathered around him, when the moonlight disappeared, the map was still the same map, with no half-moon characters showing at all.

"Don't worry, I just checked the situation of this map." Sensing the disappointment of the three people, Liu Ruian said with a smile. (To be continued.)
