Marvel’s Princess Chapter 422: Keys and Maps
The old dwarf never said what was in his heart.
Actually, the dwarves didn’t think Bella was that good-looking. She was too tall, her chin was too pointed, and her voice was soft and weak! In short, she has a lot of shortcomings, but because she wants something from her and has a natural respect for the mage, her compliments every day are quite sincere.
Bella didn't know these little details, so she nodded: "Well, that makes sense... It seems that the hobbits are not good at discerning, but you dwarves are! The dwarves are my real friends!"
That evening, a group of them visited the home of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who was full of curiosity about the world and loved adventure.
It's the kind of guest where neither party knows the other, and they just go to someone's house to eat and drink.
Bella collected some information in the Shire and read several local chronicles and biographies of historical figures in the Shire. When she arrived at Bilbo Baggins' house, all the dwarves had begun to eat.
This short wooden house made her somewhat uncomfortable. She had to bend down to avoid the chandelier hitting her head.
"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm sorry... Can I take the liberty to ask? Do I know you? Or... do you know me?" Maybe it's to see if Bella As rude as a dwarf, Bilbo Baggins stopped her and eagerly asked her doubts.
Bella carefully walked around the chandelier, and then looked at the halfling in front of her.
Bilbo Baggins wore overalls and a linen shirt. He had curly hair, a pair of pointed ears, and a pair of big bare feet. The hair on his feet was very thick.
He also ignored Bella's beauty. Maybe in his eyes, Bella was not as good-looking as those hobbit women from the same village.
Bella chuckled lightly, this is a good explanation.
Bilbo Baggins has a pure heart, and she can see many things without any effort.
"Of course, dear Mr. Bilbo Baggins, I...how should I say, I have known you for a long time. When you were a child, you liked to adventure in the forest and search for the ancient legends of the elves. You have explored all the boundaries of the Shire and are full of curiosity about the outside world, right? Am I right? In fact, we were all your old friends when you were fifteen..."
After a while, under Bilbo Baggins’ confused gaze, Bella became his old friend.
Having a meal at an old friend’s house makes perfect sense! As for bringing a few friends, that’s understandable!
A bunch of dwarves and Bella started eating and drinking at Bilbo Baggins' house.
All kinds of mushrooms, bacon, fish and chips were served together. Bella grabbed one of the dill cakes with one hand. It was much more delicious than the food in the wild. Even Thorin Oakenshield also liked it. Not to mention the hedonistic life that corrodes the hearts of soldiers, at this moment, he was holding a plate of roast mutton that looked delicious, delicious, and devoured.
Rabbit meat, venison, pickled pork, gnocchi, and honey were served one after another, and they were all eaten up within ten minutes. Bilbo Baggins quickly brought them toast, cheese, apple pie, and broth. .
Bella no longer cared about her ladylike manners. Her mouth was full of oil when she ate, and she even used force to grab a small plate of bacon from the fat dwarf.
Originally, she was thinking about moving everyone in Narnia to the Shire, but now that she saw the ingredients on the table, forget it! Centaurs and satyrs might be able to live here. If those little rabbits, squirrels, and turtles also live here, it won't take much. It will be on the table in three days. What will you do then? Bear the pain and eat two more bowls?
After they had had enough wine and food, they used the long table at Bilbo's house to discuss their upcoming itinerary.
The Dwarf Council does not support Thorin Oakenshield's actions. They need to return to the Lonely Mountain on their own and obtain the Arken Stone. Only then will the seven dwarf kingdoms obey Thorin's orders and send troops to rebuild Iru. Bo Kingdom.
It is not difficult to return to Gushan. The difficulty is that there is still a monster in Gushan today.
"A fire-breathing mouth, razor-like teeth and sharp claws...Smaug, the last dragon in the world." The old dwarf Balin said this insurmountable obstacle, and his old face was full of It's a sad look.
Bofur, who was wearing a dog-skin hat, was outspoken. He had a pipe in his mouth and said in a brisk tone: "What are you afraid of? Now we have brave warriors here, as well as mages! Miss Mage, you must have killed a dragon, right? You How many have you killed?"
"Cough cough cough cough!" Bella coughed. She pretended that she choked on the pie. She was so embarrassed. How should she answer this?
While everyone was looking at her expectantly and she didn't know how to answer, the old dwarf Balin came to her rescue.
"Even if we return to Gushan, we can't enter through the main entrance. It's sealed. As far as I know, there is only a very secret side entrance that can enter Gushan. But only the king knows where the side entrance is, and it needs to be The key...God knows where it was left!"
Bella immediately found the steps and took out a shining golden key.
"This is a magic key that can open any locked door. Of course, it can only be used once." She took out the brass key she had found at the excavation site on the Sea of Galilee in Israel.
This key is definitely not the one lost by the dwarves, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter in the face of magic!
The master key can open any door, which just diverts the embarrassing topic of killing the dragon from before.
"But where is this door? Thorin, do you know? Is this side door in an obvious place?" Thorin's nephew, Fili, the brother of Kili, the most handsome dwarf, couldn't help but ask.
It sounds a bit difficult to find a stone door in a mountain.
The brothers were both dwarves born in the Blue Mountains, and they didn’t know much about Gushan.
All the dwarves looked at Thorin Oakenshield.
He reached out and took out a somewhat worn map from his pocket.
"I don't want to deceive everyone. To be honest, I don't know where the door is. My father only left me a map and not many clues."
He handed the map to Bella: "I need to use your knowledge to unlock the secrets of this map for me."
The map paper is yellowed and the corners are a little worn, but the text is very clear, indicating that Thorin has preserved it well.
"This is Elvish. It seems to mention a secret passage that can directly enter the Lonely Mountain." Bella's level of Elvish is still very low, so she directly blessed herself with language proficiency.
"There should be more information, please take a closer look." Thorin looked at her expectantly.
Anything else? Bella picked up the map and looked back and forth. There were only a few lines of text on the left side of the map, and there was no text in the rest of the map! Is there any information that you haven't discovered yet?
