25. Inside
After returning to Gushan, Wang Bo went to Yazi's world again, found Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, and told them that they were going to go out for a long trip and let the two girls practice on their own these days.
After all this last night, Wang Bo returned to Gushan, found the dwarf Saqi, and explained it again.
Gandalf followed Wang Bo, and after Wang Bo finished what he had done, the two of them took the Shi [Biquge www.sbiquge.me] to leave the Gushan Mountains and flew to the Mist Mountains.
Under Gandalf's guidance, Smaug entered the Mist Mountains and stopped in front of a low cliff. The cliff was about dozens of feet high, and the top seemed broken and untidy. Occasionally, some extremely sparse flowing water dripped from it. Judging from the scene in front of you, this place was once a very magnificent waterfall, which could depict such a spectacular terrain.
Gandalf looked around and sighed: "There has really changed a lot here, but I shouldn't be wrong. This is the remains of the Ladder Waterfall. If I remember correctly, there should be a staircase next to the waterfall, but the main road will climb up the slope in a winding manner."
"In ancient times, there was a valley next to the entrance of Moria, and the Sivanan River flowed down the trail. Let's go up and see what's going on!"
So Gandalf continued to command Smaug to fly upwards. When they came to the top of the mountain, there was a deep, still little lake in front of them. The dark lake could not reflect any scenery.
Wang Bo saw that the Sivanan River in Gandalf's mouth was blocked and filled the entire valley into a small lake. Next to this evil lake, there was a very steep cliff looking down at it.
At the same time, Wang Bo also understood why the waterfall just now had dry up.
"This is the exterior wall of Moria," Gandalf pointed to the other side of the lake and said, "There was an entrance there. It was the entrance to the elves that came from Holin along the trail. Unfortunately, the road is now unpassable."
Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Not necessarily."
It’s just that one wall is just that he can’t stop Wang Bo at all. If Wang Bo takes action, there are more than a dozen ways to destroy this wall.
Gandalf seemed to know what Wang Bo was thinking and said, "You'd better not do this."
Wang Bo glanced at him and did not ask why. He knew very well that he was an outsider and if he wanted to stay in this world, it would be better not to have too stiff trouble with Gandalf.
So Wang Bo gave up his plan to take action and let Gandalf play.
When Gandalf saw Wang Bo's actions, he nodded easily. Along the way, Wang Bo respected him very much and did not offend him too much, making Gandalf think that Wang Bo is not bad.
The initial vigilance disappeared without realizing it.
He thought this person was pretty good.
And this is exactly what Wang Bo wants.
So under Gandalf's command, Smaug carried the two men and continued to advance, and finally arrived at the dry plain between the lake and the cliff. This area was very narrow, with a length and width of only a few meters each, and there were many falling rocks on the ground.
After walking south along the lake shore about a thousand meters, they encountered several holly trees.
Putting aside the rotten and smelly trunks of water, there seems to be a dense forest planted along valley trails.
The only suspicious scene in front of me is that two tall holly trees are still growing vigorously near the edge of the cliff.
Their huge tree roots stretched from the cliff to the lake and looked over the ladder in the distance. Compared to the towering cliffs, they looked like low bushes.
But when you get closer, they are tall and large, like two magnificent guards on both sides of the road.
"Huh, we finally arrived," Gandalf said, "This is the end of the elves road that came to Helin. The holly trees are a symbol of the local people. They planted these two holly trees here to symbolize the end of the territory. The main purpose of this Simon is to facilitate their exchanges with the king of Moria."
"In a relatively calm era, in an era when various races still have close ties, dwarves and elves were once quite familiar friends."
Wang Bo also knows this.
But now, because of the incident of Gushan, the relationship between the dwarf and the elves has collapsed.
Moreover, Wang Bo, who has seen the Lord of the Rings, is more clear that if you want to enter this door, you must use the elf to say the word "friend". Only in this way can this hidden door open.
Unfortunately, Wang Bo's knowledgeable language can only make others understand what he says, so Wang Bo is not very clear whether a door can understand what he says.
So Wang Bo reminded Gandalf, who was thinking about how to open the door.
Gandalf is also a genius. After Wang Bo's prompt, he soon discovered this and shouted out his friend in the language of an elf.
Sure enough, the spell came into play and a huge porch began to slowly emerge; it slowly separated from the center and opened out until both doors were completely opened.
Wang Bo could see a staircase rising upwards inside the door, extending to the end of his sight.
Gandalf looked back at Wang Bo, but said nothing, instead, saying, "The door is open, let's go in."
Wang Bo followed Gandalf as good as he was.
As for Smaug, Wang Bo kept it outside. After all, Smaug's body was too big to let go of it.
Gandalf walked in the front, and he raised his cane high, allowing the faint light emitted from it to illuminate the front. The wide staircase seemed to be unstoppable by the years.
They walked about two hundred steps of the stairs before they reached the top. At the end of the stairs was another arch and a corridor leading to the darkness.
The two of them did not stop and entered the corridor and continued to move forward. The corridor took several turns and then began to descend.
It leaned down for a long time before finally returning to flattening.
The air began to become hot and stuffy, and fortunately, there was no strange stench mixed in it. Sometimes they could feel fresh air blowing out from the gaps on the walls, and there were many similar gaps on the walls around them.
Wang Bo had to be amazed that the dwarves of the past were really amazing and could have built such a perfect city.
It seems that in addition to forging craftsmanship, dwarves' architecture is also amazing.
Wang Bo wants the dwarves to build a gorgeous palace for himself.
The two continued to move forward and walked for hours without rest. Gandalf suddenly stopped and began to check the direction carefully. In front of him was a wide arch leading to three passages, all of which were east; but the road on the left was down, the road on the right was up, and the road on the middle continued to move forward, flat but very narrow.
