Chapter 176 Fangorn Forest

I have to admit that it is great to have somersaulting clouds, especially when this kind of long-distance travel is required. If you only rely on two legs or buy a horse to travel, it is estimated that it will take a month to travel from Shire to Fangorn Forest , and sitting on somersault cloud, even if you fly slowly while enjoying the scenery, it will take a day or two.

Shen Long is going to Fangorn Forest to talk to Shu Hu first. After all, tree wives have never appeared in the movie, and the description in the book is relatively vague. If they don't like to move like tree people, he will be in front of tree wives I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize them, but the tree people should have the ability and method to distinguish tree wives. It would be much more convenient if they could get this ability and method from them.

Coming out of the Shire is the Old Forest and the Willow River. When flying over the Old Forest, Shen Long vaguely felt as if someone was spying on him. It might be Tom Bombatier. He was in Middle-earth. A special existence with considerable abilities, but unwilling to interfere too much.

Maybe he will come again next time. Shen Long glanced at the forest below, but did not go down for a visit for the time being. He continued to fly southeast, and soon arrived at the old land of the Kingdom of Arno, which was originally established by Elendil. The kingdom, which fell under the control of Cardolan after the split, was later reduced by Angmar's invasion.

Crossing Cardolan, flying over the Gray River, and entering the territory of the Dunlanders, the Dunlanders and Gondor have always been at loggerheads, so Beren, the Prime Minister of Gondor, divided Osa between the Dunlanders and Rohan. Keta was handed over to Saruman to control him, hoping that he could block the Dunlanders, but unexpectedly, he led wolves into the house.

Flying over Dunland is the Misty Mountains straddling the north and south of Middle-earth. Rivendell, where the elves are, and the Moria Mine, where the dwarves dug out the Balrog, are all in this mountain range. Planning to go to these places, he flew to the middle of the Misty Mountains and rested for a while. After lunch, he continued to fly eastward, and he arrived at Fangorn Forest not long after.

Fangorn Forest is actually the eastern part of the huge forests of Eriador and Kalanaron in the first era and the beginning of the second era. The area outside the Fangorn Forest was destroyed by Numenor and Sauron. This is the largest forest in Middle-earth. The ancient forest is also the last habitat of the tree people.

The number of trees here is frighteningly large, thick trees hugged by two people can be seen everywhere, the canopy of the trees covered the sunlight, making the light in the forest weak, the air was also a little thin, and it was difficult to breathe; so Shen Long hurried down after walking for a while He flew into the sky on somersaulting clouds, and searched for traces of the treant along the top of the tree crown.

Not long after, Shen Long saw a stone wall. There were no plants on the stone wall. The sun was shining on the stone wall. There were a series of tall steps on the stone wall. On the top of the stone wall, there was an open space. There are some weeds growing, and the stump of an old tree remains here, leaving only two bent branches, which looks like an old man stretching in the morning light.

This is Treebeard, the leader of the Ents. It is almost exactly the same as in the movie.

Shen Long recognized at a glance that the stump of the old tree was actually a tree beard. He lowered his height, jumped from the somersault cloud and landed on the platform, circled around the stump of the old tree for a few times, then stretched out his hand to pat the trunk, "It's such a nice place, the air is fresh, the trees are lush, I think I've grown to love it here."

This place is much better than the depths of the forest. The sun is warm on the body, and you can overlook most of the forest from the heights. It is definitely a good place for leisure and play.

"You like this forest? It's great." An ancient and strange voice came from above, a pair of hands covered with burls hung down and lifted Shen Long into the air, and he saw a picture similar to The human face was looking at Shen Long curiously, "You are different from anyone I have seen before, and what exactly did you ride just now?"

"These are not important, Treebeard, I'm here to help you." Shen Long replied with a smile. The wonderful creature in front of him, about four meters tall, with green-gray skin like tree bark, is the treebeard, the leader of the tree people. In the film, the hobbits Pippin and Merry met him in this place.

He had seven fingers on each big foot, and the end of his long face was hidden in gray moss, which looked like an old man's beard. His eyes were brown and shone with green light, like a deep ancient well, It is full of long-standing memories; the fact is true, the tree people can be said to be the oldest creatures in Middle-earth, and they have witnessed all the history of Middle-earth.

"Help me? What can you do to help me?" Treebeard said in a slow voice. His life was too long, and both his speech and his movements seemed very slow.

"I know that in the past evil ages, many treants died under the hands of darkness, and many treants turned into real trees, who could no longer walk freely on the earth; and most importantly, your trees His wife has also disappeared, and the tree man has not given birth to a baby for many years, and I am here to help you find the missing tree wife." Shen Long replied truthfully.

"Yes, they're all gone!" Treebeard put down Shen Long, and rubbed his head in distress, "I still remember Fenberhill's cuteness, her light steps like branches and leaves in the wind, and when we were young together Had a great time, but they're all gone now; I've thought about dying with them, but I have a hunch we'll only see them again when we've lost everything."

Fenberhill is probably Treebeard's favorite tree wife? I didn't expect a tree to have such a romantic idea. After speaking, Treebeard sang a song, which was about the tree man and tree wife.

"When spring blows the young beech leaves,

when the sap overflows;

When the light shines in the brooks of the wild woods,

When the wind blows by the stream;

When the steps are light and the breaths are deep,

when the mountain wind is cold;

Come back to me! come back to me,

Praise my country for its beauty!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

we will walk together

The road to the West.

In the far side will find

The continent where we both can rest in peace. "

"I'm here to help you find them, but I don't know how to tell them apart, can you teach me?" Shen Long pointed to the somersault cloud floating in the air, "Look, I have this, and I will soon I can travel all over Middle-earth, if the tree wives are still in this land, I will definitely find them."

"Every treeman and treewife remembers the song I sang just now. As long as you sing this song near the treewife, they will come out to meet you." Treebeard said.

"Uh, wait, can you sing it again?" Shen Long took out the tablet from the storage space.
