The world of The Lord of the Rings is called Middle-earth, and it is a world where God actually exists. Of course, this God is not the kind of supreme and omnipotent existence. A more accurate description should be a life form with great power. No. There are not only gods, but also demons, dragons, elves, dwarves, orcs, orcs, goblins and other creatures.
The entire Middle-earth continent is divided into many eras. In the first era, gods and demons were still walking on the continent, sharing the same sky and continent with mortal beings. As the disputes between gods and demons arose, the The First Age ended, followed by the Second Age, and the gods and demons receded into the background, far away from Middle-earth.
But this is not the end. The second era can be said to be the era of elves. In this era, elves can be said to be the most powerful force in the world. They almost exist as the guardians of this era. Although now It is already the third era, but the elves have still not withdrawn from Middle-earth. Their strength is still the most powerful in the world, at least for now.
Moreover, this world is a world similar to the European Middle Ages or ancient times. This is a world where blood theory is prevalent. When you introduce yourself or others call you, they will usually say that you are the grandson of so-and-so, or the son of so-and-so. This is not enough to show that you are different and that your achievements are the same, and if you say that you have the blood of high elves, as long as it can be confirmed, then this is enough to make you a natural noble in Middle-earth, facing any All forces can be treated as equals.
Because of this, when Chu Hao heard what Gandalf said, he immediately understood that this was a huge opportunity, a huge opportunity for him to complete the layout he envisioned.
Gandalf fell silent after hearing this. He walked around Ochi several times and finally confirmed: "I have this feeling, but I guess his high elf bloodline is too thin, so I can't feel anything from him." Elf aura, on the contrary, the elf aura of the girl before was very strong, and I even felt the rare high elf aura. If you are going to travel with us, then you might as well go to Rivendell with me, high elf. The bloodline has been lost for too long. If he really has the bloodline of a high elf, then this will undoubtedly be a big deal for the elves.
Chu Hao's smile became more sincere. He nodded and said: It's just what I want. If we go together, then we will definitely visit Rivendell with you.
We must go together, right? Zhang Heng, Tom and others were standing there with their backs on their backs, rolling their eyes, great deception, another great deception.
While they were talking, the dwarves had put enough food on the table. I have to say that the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings are actually the halflings in European legends. They are indeed a group of foodies who enjoy each other. There are all kinds of food, cheese, bread, dried meat, vegetables are just ordinary things, there are also many special foods, such as several kinds of fresh fish that are only available in the Lord of the Rings, fresh fruits, and several kinds of local wild animals. Meat, red wine, tea, etc., although they are certainly not as good as those mythical and legendary ingredients in the main god's space, they are already extremely abundant for people in this world.
When the dwarves started eating, everyone in the Arctic Team also started eating and drinking. One thing Chu Hao noticed was that although Nian Xikong seemed to be eating very gracefully, she ate everything that came to her mouth. He just swallowed, without even pausing for a moment, he had already eaten the food eaten by three or four dwarves in a moment, which was a bit abnormal.
Chu Hao patted Ao Qi, who was sitting next to him, and then pointed to his ear. Ao Qi immediately connected his soul chain to Chu Hao, and in Chu Hao's words, it was also connected to Nian Xikong.
I'm very curious, isn't the effect of these foods much worse than those of the Lord God's Treasures of Heaven and Earth that you redeemed? Can you eat them with such interest? Chu Hao took a sip of red wine and asked in his heart.
When Nian Xikong swallowed a piece of grilled fish, he glanced at Chu Hao subconsciously, and replied in his heart: The aura of this world is very rich, between high demon and medium demon. The food here also contains a lot of aura, ordinary People can strengthen their health by eating it, not to mention that I can absorb it. The treasures of the Lord God are indeed thousands of times better than these foods, but the quantity is limited, and I am not as luxurious as you think. While talking, she swallowed another large piece of fatty beef
Really? Then you really have to eat more. Chu Hao, Zhang Heng, and Tom all have the ability to absorb food energy taught by Nian Xikong. They can absorb energy from food efficiently and convert it into the energy stored in their bodies. For example, Chu Hao What they get after absorbing food is mental power and arcane energy. Although the increase is not much, it is an additional increase. In the long run, it will be a huge income, and this is because they have not eaten any treasures from heaven and earth. Just like Nian Xukong did, all the reward points were exchanged for heavenly wealth and earthly treasures. If they really did this, the energy in their bodies would definitely be several times more than it is now.
This ability to convert food into energy is currently only known to a few of them. Sterry is not a good person. Even Tom has seen this, but he has always been very low-key, and behaves very obediently when he has nothing to do. No matter what big mistake he made, no one would do anything to him. This kind of thing would definitely not be given to him. The other few people were newcomers, and it would take time to confirm whether they were reliable or not, so for a while, only they had this ability. .
Just like that, under the leadership of Chu Hao, he ate so much that even the dwarves and Gandalf were frightened. When Bilbo's food inventory was almost completely consumed, the dinner was finally over. It stopped, and then, just like the original plot, the dwarves teased Bilbo and cleaned the entire bowl and plate. During this period, Chu Hao once again recognized these dwarves. The strength is much stronger than he thought. From throwing the plate to catching the plate, from the various actions of avoiding Bilbo to grab the tableware, it can be seen that these dwarves are indeed extremely powerful, even to put it harshly, Chu Haoguang used his physical strength to fight against any of them. Without turning on the gene lock, he might not be as good as them, because Chu Hao couldn't even see clearly their methods and speed of throwing and catching plates several times. The strength of these dwarves was obviously inferior to them. The one in the movie is much stronger.
Although these dwarves are likely to become his companions, this does not make Chu Hao happy at all, because the dwarves becoming stronger can only prove that the strength of this world is much stronger than what is shown in the movie, that is, It means that the orcs are stronger, the goblins and goblins are stronger, especially the powerful pale orc who has been tracking Thorin, Azog the Blasphemer
The banquet was over and the fooling around was over, but before everyone had time to sit down and rest, suddenly the knock on the door sounded again. Anyone in the Arctic team who has watched the prequels of The Lord of the Rings will naturally know that this is an important protagonist of this game. The dwarf prince Thorin has arrived.
Sure enough, behind the opened door was the dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield. He was a middle-aged dwarf with slightly white hair. His appearance was very majestic and handsome, full of the charm of a mature man and a warrior. As soon as he entered the door After that, he stared at everyone in the Arctic team, as well as Bilbo Baggins, who had been dodging a little.
Gandalf coughed and said: Please allow me to introduce to you, this is our leader Thorin Oakenshield, this is the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, these are the members of the Hao Mercenary Group. .
Thorin said solemnly: We will discuss the issue of the mercenary group later. This Mr. Bilbo Baggins is the Snitch you found for us. Then Mr. Snitch, what weapon will you use? Sword, dagger, ax or bow.
Bilbo obviously still didn't understand the situation. He shrugged his shoulders and said: "I played with slingshots when I was a child. Of course, I don't think it has anything to do with any weapon."
As expected. Thorin said nonchalantly: He is more like a hawker than a snitch. After saying that, he followed many dwarves towards the dining hall, and the dwarves also hugged him and walked inside together. Several dwarves even took out the food they had hidden and gave it to Thorin. It can be seen from these that this Thorin is obviously very loved by his people.
At this moment, everyone was sitting around the dinner table, listening to Thorin describing his whereabouts. He attended the dwarf clan meeting, and all seven existing dwarf countries participated. No, it was not so much a country, but a country. Tribe is more appropriate, the real kingdom of the dwarves, that is, the kingdom destroyed and occupied by the fire dragon Smaug, the Kingdom under the Mountain, that is the real kingdom of the dwarves.
The Seven Kingdoms all participated, Thorin said.
The other dwarves seemed to be very excited, but one of the strongest dwarf warriors asked: What did the people of the Iron Hills say that they are willing to travel with us
Thorin was silent, and then said after a long time: No, they were unwilling. They said this was just our behavior and had nothing to do with them. This expedition was only our own business.
Suddenly, there was a silence in the surrounding atmosphere, and Bilbo asked curiously: Are you going to explore? Are you going to go on an expedition? This is a hobbit who has always dreamed of exploring. The words of the dwarves aroused his curiosity.
Gandalf breathed out and called to Bilbo: Hey, Bilbo, it's so dark here, why don't you bring more lights? As he spoke, he had already reached into his arms to take out the map. Come.
Chu Hao and others were watching intently, because that map represented the key to their completion of the main god's mission, and the key to getting to the back door of the country at the foot of the mountain.
But at this moment, Thorin stretched out his hand to stop Gandalf, then he turned to look at Chu Hao and others, and said at the same time: Gandalf, now let’s talk about the key mercenaries.
