Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1059 1041. Morning exercise

"alright!"

Gandalf smiled happily in his old voice.

 “Elrond, what do you think now?”

"What do I think?" The elf shook his head helplessly, "Two wizards vouched for him, what else can I think?"

 “Hey, I’m not a wizard.”

Lann raised his hand in protest, but Elrond waved it away without even turning his head.

"You are Radagast's agent, no different than a wizard."

Thorin, Balin and Bilbo all laughed happily.

 Because this conversation means that the elves in Rivendell will no longer block their journey and hold them back.

 But Elrond did not behave very freely.

  He leaned forward and leaned close to Gandalf's ear while the three short men were carried away with joy.

 And his eyes were still staring at the demon hunter leaning against the white stone pillar not far away.

Elrond's experience is indeed too rich due to his long life. Almost from the first meeting, when Lann predicted the trajectory of his arrow, he immediately realized the witcher's super senses.

 Even roughly estimated the power of these super senses.

At this time, he seemed to be whispering privately to Gandalf, but in fact, he had made it clear with his eyes that these words were meant for Gandalf and Lan En.

“Even if I agree to this matter, it doesn’t mean everything will be smooth sailing, Mithrandir.”

 “We are not the only guardians of this world.”

Lann didn’t say anything because he didn’t know what Elrond meant.

 But after hearing this, Gandalf pursed his lips and nodded to show his understanding.

Elrond turned and walked towards the depths of the hall. He had said everything he needed to say. It’s already good that the expedition team can now take care of the dwarves as a landlord.

 And Gandalf clapped his hands.

 “Okay, gentlemen.”

 The old wizard awakened the three short men from the joy of deciphering the code and being recognized by the elves.

"We've got what we need most in Rivendell, the hidden information on this map."

"But you are still hungry and weak, and your faces are droopy due to rapid weight loss. Go and rest quickly, Rivendell will restore your strength."

“After learning about the secret door, my body must be able to walk through it.”

The old wizard who sent away the dwarfs walked past Lan En. He was trembling and holding his wand. If you didn't know better, you would have thought he was an old man in his dying years.

 “Ah, I need a good rest for this old bone. See you tomorrow, Lan. I hope you have a good sleep.”

Gandalf spoke to the witcher in the tone of an old man mumbling to himself.

 Lan En nodded politely to him.

 “My sleeping condition has always been good, thank you for your concern.”

—

 The next day, Lann woke up in the room Elrond had arranged for him.

The elves are so rich in time and energy that even in this room, when they open their eyes and look at the beam above their head, there are exquisite and elegant patterns painted on it.

 Lan En woke up very early, almost when the first ray of sunlight came through the window.

The air in Rivendell was refreshing. He walked in this exquisite city, which was as high and low and layered as Lothric and Yharnan.

Rivendell also has many statues placed beside the stairs and on the roadside.

But it is still different from Lothric and Yharnam. The appearance and theme of the statues here do not reveal the sacred sacrifice in cruelty, nor are there any statues of gods that are so grotesque that it is difficult to describe.

The statues here are mostly elven warriors wearing exquisite armor, or elegant elven women wearing flower crowns.

 The moss on the statues shows that these statues were formed very long ago.

 The pale sun rose from behind the misty mountains in the distance, dispersing the thin silver mist. The yellow leaves sparkled with dewdrops.

The flannel ball woke up with Lan En and walked quietly with him, except for the occasional 'meow', and then continued to breathe the fresh air.

They will also look at the towering misty mountains in the east with admiration and awe. The tops there are still covered with snow and frozen, and only discontinuous patches of exposed gray rock are occasionally exposed.

“Let’s practice battle today, nya!”

Follow Ball and Lan En found a platform in Rivendell where they could hear the sound of the waterfall. The three-flowered Ellecat happily drew out the Thundercat Sword from behind and pointed it at his boss.

 “Now, I can feel a bit of [fighting energy], nya!”

As a demonstration, the flannel ball's body made a sound like a fire exploding, and a layer of light red fighting spirit flame also flashed across its fur.

Lan once taught [Wei Mingren] to Flossball and Xili. It seems that the effect of [Torno Breathing] is indeed good.

 Flannel Ball is not very old, but its physical condition is already able to practice [Fighting Qi].

Although Lan En has taught it a swordsmanship, in the end, the technique of [Fighting Qi] is the main method of hunting in the eyes of Flannel Ball.

It is an Elu cat born in the New World after all.

Lan En also raised an eyebrow. In terms of increasing explosive power and expanding damage, [Fighting Qi] is indeed a powerful technique.

"OK."

Lan En said with great interest, and facing the excited kitten, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

 “Let’s practice first”

In the fresh air and the sound of the waterfall, Lan En didn't have time to finish the word "Lian Lian". A human voice came from the spiral staircase diagonally above the platform.

“How about we practice our skills?”

 “Meow?”

Elu Cat's big wet eyes blinked and looked up ahead.

Lan En also put away his posture and turned his head to look behind him.

On the spiral staircase at that location, Elrond was standing with the hobbit Bilbo, looking at the platform below with a smile.

 It seems that the two of them were walking together and chatting when they went for a walk in the morning, and they just happened to come here.

 But it was Bilbo who surprised Lan.

The witcher raised his brows and looked at Bilbo Baggins with a subtle look, and he responded with a warm smile.

Bilbo Baggins never stole or lied in the first half of his life. Even if he hid his identity, it was just a few games he played as a child.

 Such a person can be said to have no experience in the work of a snitch.

But Gandalf still went there personally and recruited him for the dwarf restoration expedition.

It can even be said that the most important role in the plan of the entire dwarf restoration expedition is the snitch who wants to take away the king's gem-the Arken Stone from under Smaug's belly.

 Lann originally thought that Gandalf had the power of prophecy, or that he was going to use his mysterious magic to help Bilbo before actually doing anything.

 But Lan En has only now discovered that maybe there really is a ‘born master of snitches’?

Forget it about Elrond, Bilbo was so close, barely ten meters away from him, but he didn't even notice the hobbit.

 The natural fleshy pads on their feet make their steps silent.

 And after washing and changing clothes, my own body odor is still there but not at all.

Moreover, hobbits are short in stature and can always slip into blind spots that would not be noticed by normal-sized people.

In front of ordinary people, this ability appears as the hobbits are always elusive, almost magical.

 Lan En couldn't help but think: If Gandalf really gave Bilbo a magic like invisibility, this guy might actually become the Snitch Master!

 “Lord Elrond.”

 Lan En said hello politely.

During the chat with Gandalf yesterday, he already knew that Elrond was not the Elf King.

He was the flag-bearer of the previous Elf King, and Rivendell was his territory, so he could be officially called the Lord of Rivendell.

 “Good morning to you too.”

Elrond and Bilbo went downstairs together and walked towards Lann and Fluffy Ball.

"Did you sleep well in Rivendell? I see that Qilin has no intention of getting up early at all. Did he sleep well last night?"

“No, Rivendell is very comfortable both in terms of the environment and the city itself.”

Lan En scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

“Qilin is just lazy, don’t mind.”

“Of course I don’t mind if my guests can sleep soundly in my city.”

Elrond had a smile on his handsome and gentle face, and he seemed to be very tolerant of the childish behaviors and shortcomings of these 'young people'.

At the same time, his hand was also placed on the handle of the knife on his left waist.

 Lan En looked at the long knife.

The long knife was partially covered by the gauze hanging from Elrond's shoulders, so there was no sharpness or chill in it.

But when the elf removed the gauze covering the handle of the knife and put his hand on it, his whole feeling suddenly changed.

That long knife is a typical elf style.

The curvature is graceful and thin, with hollow or incised patterns.

Even the scabbard looks like a work of art.

 “You want to sparring, meow?”

Flannel Ball blinked, and then cheered.

"Great!"

It quickly put the Thundercat Sword back into the scabbard on its back, then quickly ran up the spiral staircase on all fours and stood with Bilbo.

 The two guys held the railing together and looked down.

“Hey, flannel ball, didn’t you take the initiative to challenge Lan En just now? You’re running too cleanly now.”

 Bilbo put his thumbs of both hands relaxedly into the pockets of his suit jacket, tilted his head and said to the flannel ball.

 “You don’t understand meow at all, Bilbo!”

Elucat looked at the scene below with interest, and had no feeling at all about the hobbit's teasing.

 “Watching powerful people sparring, sometimes the rewards are even greater, meow!”

"real?"

Bilbo shrugged and said not very concerned.

This hobbit actually has no feeling about strength and weakness, and has no obsession. He is simply in a good mood now and wants to watch the fun.
