Chapter 13 Interpreting the Map

At night, Gandalf asked Thorin to take out the map for Elon and asked him to help analyze the secret words above.

Thorin was very resistant to this. He did not want to accept the help of the elves, and was afraid that the elves would see from above what to do to stop them.

But at Gandalf's strong request, he thought about it and handed over the map to Elon.

Elfs are long-lived species and love to study. The longer they live, the more they experience, the more they will know, and the more knowledge they will be.

Elron was the lord of Rivendell. He lived for countless years. After studying it, he quickly found a way to understand the secret words on the map.

Soon, the secret words on the map were determined to be written in the words of the moon.

This kind of text can only be read under the moonlight. The moon seasons and shapes when reading must be consistent with the time when writing, otherwise it will not be read.

When the dwarves heard the news, they all felt nervous.

It takes a specific time, that is, within a year, there are only a few times or even one chance to interpret.

If you miss the time, or there is no moon that day, then you can only wait for the next year before talking about it.

Xia Ya felt speechless about this. This kind of text is really irrelevant. It may not be possible to read it once a year. I don’t know what the person who invented it thinks.

If encryption is added to this level, aren't you afraid of being really lost and becoming a permanent secret?

Thorin looked at Elon and asked in a deep voice, "Can you interpret it?"

Even he couldn't help but get nervous.

He desperately hoped to find a way to enter the Gushan Mountain, take back the glory of his family, and take back the homes of his tribesmen.

If this interpretation fails or time has passed, then you will need to wait for a year.

Ayron's always reserved face showed a rare smile, "Come with me!"

He took a few people all the way to a terrace under a waterfall.

The waterfall above is like a layer of gauze under the silver moonlight, with shadows as if several Milky Ways fell.

"Elf really knows how to choose places." Xia Ya couldn't help but sigh.

Elon walked in front with the map, and turned around and smiled when he heard the sound, "We welcome you to live here forever!"

"Thank you, but mine will complete the contract between me and Solin first." Xia Ya chuckled and declined.

Of course, this place is beautiful, and it can even be said that there are few in the world. The elves do not need to question the taste of beauty.

Even the armor for combat is extremely exquisite, not as rough as the dwarf, let alone the things around you?

But for him, the first priority in his heart is always a task. Some things are satisfied when they meet and appreciate them.

"My friend, Rivendell is always welcome to you."

On the clean terrace, several people stopped in front of a stone platform, and Elon took the map and continued to identify the runes on it.

He spoke, "These runes were written on the night of the summer solstice, under the moonlight about two hundred years ago. It seems that you are destined to come to Rivendale."

Elon spread the map on the stone platform, turned his head slightly, "Fate is favoring you, Thorin Oak Shield, the same moonlight shines on you and me tonight!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, and a new moon just popped out from behind the clouds and mist, and the moonlight between the sky and the earth became brighter.

The stone platform seemed to have some magic power, and the bright moonlight turned into a pillar of light and was attracted to it and fell on the stone platform.

Under the moonlight, a rune gradually appeared on the map.

Elon read this rune, "When the thrush is pounding, standing next to the gray rock, the setting sun shines on the keyhole in the afterglow of the sun in Turin."

"Day of Turin?" Bilbo, who followed him, asked a question.

Gandalf explained, "It was the New Year's Day of the Dwarf's New Year, when the end of autumn and the early sun in winter meet in the air at the same time."

"This is bad news!" Thorin grabbed the key, and a anxious look finally appeared on his face.

"Summer is over, and the day of Turin is coming soon!"

It's only three months before the day of Turin.

But they were still quite far away from Gushan at this time.

"We still have time!" Bahrain spoke quickly.

“What do you have time to do?”

"Of course we found the entrance!" Xia Ya said: "The map has been made very clear. Only at the right time and in the right position can we find the location of the keyhole. Otherwise, if we want to enter the Lone Mountain, we can only wait for another year."

Elon: "So your purpose is to enter the Lone Mountain?"

Thorin raised his head, his eyes alert, with a hint of threat, "So what?"

Elon didn't care about his attitude and returned the map to him, saying, "Some people may think this move is not wise!"

He made a puzzle, but he had no intention of stopping the dwarves from going to Lone Mountain.

"What's the meaning?"

Gandalf frowned. Who else would stop the dwarves from going to Lone Mountain except the orcs?

Elon still didn't say it directly, just left a sentence, you are more than the guardians of Middle-earth world, so he turned around and left.

Of course, for Gandalf, this sentence is already explicit.

There are five wizards who are the same as him.

The brown robe wizard Ridagast and they had seen him, and he would not stop the dwarves.

Two of the other three can also be ruled out, so only the white-robed wizard Saruman is left.

When Eron left, Gandalf's face was not very good-looking. He stopped in place for a while before he was woken up by Thorin's voice.

"Gandalff, who will stop us, elves?"

"No, Thorin, I told you that the elves won't hurt you." Gandalf denied his guess.

"Who is that?"

"You don't need to know now."

“What should we do?”

"Follow your heart!" Gandalf said, "It is better for you all to stay together and not to sleep separate."

Thorin nodded, "Hmph, we didn't plan to separate."

Obviously, even though Elon did not show any hostility, he was still worried about the elves.

"I thought I could finally sleep in bed." Xia Ya was a little disappointed.

It is enough to sleep in the wild and open-air places, but I didn’t expect that when I got to the city, I still had to do this.

"You can stay here." Thorin snorted coldly.

Xia Ya looked at him lightly, "Sorin, don't have a bad face. We have a contract. Don't you want to pay me one-fifth of the treasure?"

Thorin didn't speak, Gandalf asked them to go back to where the dwarf was, and he walked alone in the direction where Elon left.

Shaya looked at Gandalf's back and wanted to go with him.

He knew that Gandalf would meet Roryan's queen, the elf queen, Galandrel.

That is the great beauty of the elf race. In the elf race, which is a handsome guy and beautiful woman per capita, they are all the top beauties. If you can't meet each other, you will feel that something is missing when you come to Middle-earth.

Thorin frowned and thought for a long time, looking at Shaya, "What does Gandalf mean?"

Chara came to his senses and said softly, "Don't you dislike elves and don't like Rivendell? Eat and drink enough, sleep early and find a chance to leave."

Thorin finally became a little more energetic, but he was a little unbelievable, "He went through so much trouble to attract us, just to let us leave overnight?"

"Sorin, you have to be clear that we are here just to understand the map. Now that the map has been interpreted, there is naturally no need to stay."
