[The Hobbit] Farstrider's Journey

The rain was crackling on the cloak, and the damp water vapor condensed into crystal drops on Hua Lai's eyelashes.The dark clouds were very low, and the green eyes looked very deep under the deep sky.The golden eyelashes seemed unable to bear the heavier and heavier weight, and cold drops of water slid down the cheeks.

Hua Lai raised his head, revealing his fair face hidden under the cloak, took a vigorous breath of the moist air, and felt the comfortable feeling of the oxygen-rich air in his chest.

The rainwater directly condensed into small meandering streams, passing across his face, his eyes closed as if overwhelmed.

A caravan driving a carriage approached with a noisy sound in the distance. Hua Lai opened his eyes and lowered his head, pulled up his hood and walked quickly into an inn.When he walked into the gate, the more noisy movement than before made him frown involuntarily.

Hua Lai's eyes swept across the interior of the hotel. The interior of the wooden building was very cramped, and his tall Hua Lai felt very depressed.Perhaps because he doesn't patronize races that are taller than ordinary people, the interior spacing design of the hotel makes him very uncomfortable.

"Traveler! What do you want? We have hot broth and fluffy and delicious bread here! Of course, if you are willing to pay a little more, there is also butter and cheese!" A person suspected of being an innkeeper said loudly.Although he was surprised by Hua Lai's tallness, he still greeted him enthusiastically because he was well-versed in the world.

Because of the boss's voice, everyone who was eating, drinking, chatting in the hotel looked at him.Among them are residents of the small town, travelers passing by, and even a team of adventurers.

Hua Lai's cold eyes swept over the faces of these mostly human guests.Maybe it was because the oppressive feeling in his cold eyes was too strong, the lively and noisy atmosphere seemed to be suffocated, and a quiet needle could be heard falling on the ground.

"Broth, bread, and a glass of wine." Hua Lai popped out a shiny silver coin, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

The boss stretched out his hands nimbly and clapped them, and opened them up to take a look, the exquisite patterns on the brand-new silver coins that he had never seen before almost dazzled his eyes.He picked up the silver coin and blew it to his ear, the pleasant vibration confirmed that it was indeed a silver coin.

"I'll deliver it to you right away! Please find a place to sit." The boss said with a smile on his face.

Hua Lai nodded lightly, walked to the corner and sat down at the table next to the stove, put down his luggage and staff, and waited silently for the boss to deliver the food.

Seeing this unprovoked character sitting silently on the side, the guests who had just pressed the mute button resumed their original movements, but their voices involuntarily became a little softer, almost like whispering.

Wallace knew that those people should be discussing his identity, guessing whether he was a spellcaster or a legendary wizard.

It's a pity that these people can't guess that he is not a wizard, but a warlock that this world did not have before, and is unlikely to exist in the future.

Before that, Hua Lai was just an ordinary member among thousands of college students. On a summer night of lightning and thunder, he was playing arena with his teammates in an Internet cafe, and he suddenly passed through.Maybe it was because of the game he was playing at that time, after waking up, he became a blood elf warlock who had just had a serious illness and almost died because of insufficient nutrition.

The timing of his arrival was terrible. Of course, in the following thousands of years, the blood elves have never had a smooth life.Suffering and war have always been with Wallace and the race he is now in.

After experiencing the history that he knew clearly but was powerless to shake, exhaustion had almost made him numb.

If possible, he really doesn't want to fight anymore, and really seems to find a place to rest peacefully for a while.

Perhaps fate heard his complaints, and Hua Lai, who was blown into a crack in the void during the battle, crossed again, and this time came to a world called Middle Earth.

Traveling again really annoyed Hua Lai, no one wanted to suddenly switch from a world he was used to to a new place.

But the seemingly peaceful world still satisfies him barely, and his wish to retire early has finally come true, although he feels disappointed that he will never see his friends again.

But after all, he has lived for thousands of years, and his originally sentimental character has long since become the determination to face such a big change with a calm heart.

In his previous life experience, he was forced to learn the attribute of being happy with the situation. Hua Lai soon left the wilderness he had crossed, and went along a big river, intending to find a place with few people and beautiful scenery to live a life of seclusion.

Staring solemnly at the front is actually wandering in a daze. Appetizing broth, delicious bread, and a glass of scarlet and fragrant wine were soon placed in front of Hua Lai. wine.

Hua Lai lowered his head and took a look at the food in front of him. It looked good and smelled good, and then he gracefully picked up the spoon and started eating.

He thought back to the days after he came to Middle-earth. Now it seems that the common language is the same. In terms of intelligent creatures, he has also seen dwarves and dwarves (they are hobbits!), but he doesn’t know if there are elves, orcs, trolls and others. tauren or something...

Because he wasn't sure if there were any elves, the blood elf warlock with long pointed ears didn't want to be watched as a magical rabbit, so he didn't even take off his hood when he entered the hotel.As for other people's weird gazes and criticisms, they have long been ignored by Hua Lai, who is extremely nervous.

After the meal, Hua Lai rested for a while and finished the glass of wine that tasted good.The unexpected fragrance was a small surprise, which made his mood index rise a bit.

Wallace stood up and picked up the package and staff that were put aside.

Seeing him get up, the people who were peeping at him started a little commotion.Several adventurers pushed and shoved, and a strong human man was pushed out to block Hua Lai.

Hua Lai stopped and looked displeased at the man in front of him. He was about 40 years old, with a beard around his weathered face, and armor on his vital parts.Hua Lai's sharp eyes scanned several of his flaws, and mentally rehearsed various ways to quickly kill this man. He felt that this rude warrior had no room to resist at all, and was secretly satisfied.

The adventurer didn't even know that the ferocious blood elf in front of him had already considered all kinds of killing methods. He tried his best to control himself from being so excited, but the high-pitched voice still made his efforts fail: "Excuse me, are you a wizard?"

The voice of the adventurer made the hotel fall into silence again.

wizard?Hua Lai raised his golden eyebrows under the hood, and he said calmly, "You've got the wrong person, get out of the way!"

Shocked by his cold words, the adventurer involuntarily stepped aside, and Hua Lai walked over indifferently.

Soon, behind him came the voice of a soldier being laughed at kindly by his companions: "How could it be a wizard! There are only five wizards in the entire Middle-earth world. Each of these people is more mysterious than the other, and it is not easy to see them." ! You idiot, hahaha! Lose, pay your money!"

"Who asked him to wear a cloak and a staff!" The soldier argued unconvinced: "I have seen Gandalf in the gray robe before! I dare say that even his staff is not as conspicuous as that of the mysterious man just now! "

Accidentally became the object of betting by boring people, which made Hua Lai feel very unhappy.But the information in their words was secretly remembered by Hualai. He looked down at the bare staff that was low-key enough and only had a jewel inlaid on the top, and wondered whether it would be possible for him to take a firewood Stick?

"Hahaha! Maybe some rich gentleman made such a crutch..."

A voice of joking and guessing came from behind, and Hualai's eyebrows were knitted together. If it wasn't for the situation in this world...if it was in Azeroth...

Hua Lai absolutely wants to let these guys taste the wrath of the legal profession.

The tall blood elf stood in front of the bar at the exit, a full head taller than the innkeeper standing inside.

"Traveler! What else do you need?" The innkeeper saw his eyes light up. Obviously, the exquisite silver coins just now made him realize that this mysterious man is a generous guest who is not stingy.

"Is there a whole bottle of wine?"

"Yes, how many bottles do you want?" The boss smiled more enthusiastically.

Hua Lai thought for a while and said, "Five bottles."

The boss thought about it, and said regretfully: "I can only sell you three bottles, and I have to keep enough stock, otherwise those guys in the town will overturn the table if they run out of wine."

Hua Lai paused: "Alright."

The boss bent down neatly and took out the wine from the cupboard under the counter. "Dong Dong Dong" three bottles were lined up and placed on the counter: "A total of seventeen silver coins."

Wallace counted enough silver coins and put them on the counter: "May I ask where these wines come from?"

"Of course," the boss pulled the silver coins to his front, and when he saw the same silver coins as before, he couldn't see his smiling eyes: "These fine wines are produced in Long Lake Town. I also like to drink."

Elf? !

When Hua Lai heard this word, he almost dropped the wine bottle.

"Really... how to get to Changhu Town? Is that place very close to the elves' territory?" Hua Lai asked without a trace.

"Traveler, are you going to Long Lake Town?" The boss put the silver coins away, and for the sake of money, he kindly said to him: "Going to Long Lake Town is not easy, you have to walk a long way along the Anduin River , almost to the end. There is a pier there, and there are boats to Long Lake Town every day. Of course, if you have the courage, you can also try to go through the dark jungle, but there is a shortcut there. Hahaha, of course this is just It's a joke, if you are caught by the elves, be careful to be killed by them."

Hua Lai didn't care about the boss's cold joke, he turned around and left the hotel after collecting three bottles of wine.

Although the blood elves have experienced ups and downs for thousands of years, their inherent arrogance as high elves never gave up their pursuit of exquisite things and their super high requirements for the quality of life.As long as there is a chance, even in the camp on the battlefield, a flower should be placed in the glass.

Although Hua Lai can be regarded as a blood elf who traveled through the past, under the influence of such a long time, this habit has long been subtly ingrained in his bones.

So, until a suitable retreat is found, it's only natural to collect some fine wines to his liking.

But the elves' information made him hesitate. He really didn't know what the local elves were like, whether it was necessary to get involved with them, and whether there would be any conflicts in the future because they came from different world systems.

Hua Lai, who was caught in a tangle, quickly sneered, he just came to retire, why worry so much, just find a place to lie down.

So in the following days, Hua Lai rode his summoned horse along the river, planning to go to Changhu Town to purchase some barreled wine for storage.

The warlock profession can summon demonic creatures as objects of slavery. Although dealing with demons made the warlock profession not very popular in Azeroth at first, but in war after war, warlocks who fought bravely and sacrificed to death turned around. It eliminated people's rejection of warlocks, and even gave birth to many heroes who became convincing and undisputed leaders.

Wallace's summoned horse is also a demonic creature called the Dreadsteed.Don't look at it with four hooves stepping on flames, its eyes and nose are frighteningly filled with never-ending flames, but in fact its character is the most tame among demon creatures.

Hua Lai knew that if he was not prepared to be seen by the people of this world, he might get into trouble, so he stayed away from the crowd, but even so, the trouble inevitably infected him.

It was a group of ugly orcs, and when Wallace saw them for the first time, he knew that these people were evil.

Dealing with demons all the year round made Warlock's spiritual attainments extraordinary, and the dark aura coming from the evil creature on the opposite side made the warhorse snort unaccustomed.
