After checking the physical conditions of the two dwarf brothers, Balin and Dvalin, and confirming that their injuries were not serious, Gao Yuan continued to lead the group towards the ruins of the watchtower, searching for Thorin and Qili.

trace.

They found him in a ruins on the edge of a cliff.

When Gao Yuan and others found him, he was slumped on the ground in despair, still holding the female elf who had met Gao Yuan several times in his arms.

Perhaps Gandalf and Bard did not know this female elf, but Gao Yuan knew her. She was the captain of the Elf Guard of the Woodland Kingdom and was also Kili's lover.

Gao Yuan had only seen this female elf named Tariel a few times, but she left a deep impression on him.

It's not because of the close relationship between her and Kili, nor is it because of the movie.

Instead, she and Legolas played a trick of changing the prince for a civet cat under Thranduil's nose, allowing Legolas to successfully escape from his father's control.

He also brought a team of elven guards to help Gaoyuan on his journey to the lonely mountain.

But now, she was lying in Qili's arms, losing the breath of life.

According to the plot in the movie, it was Qili who was lying on the ground at this time. There must have been many things that they didn't know about.

Logically speaking, the half-orc who killed Qili in the original work, Azog's son Bolger, had already been beheaded by Gao Yuan himself on the beach of the Jungle River.

The ending of this pair of fateful couple should not have ended like this, but it still happened, but this time the person killed by the orcs was Tauriel.

This made Gao Yuan have to sigh, this is probably the destined ending for the two of them.

People in Middle-earth often say that the union between humans and elves often does not have good results.

Now it seems that the combination of dwarves and elves may not necessarily have good results.

Gao Yuan stopped Gandalf and Bard from coming forward. He didn't want too many people to disturb Qili at this time, so he came to Qili's side alone.

"She hopes to bury herself in the green forest, where she can see the woodland kingdom." Qili raised his head with red eyes and looked at Gao Yuan desperately and said.

Gao Yuan sighed and comforted: "The death of the elf is not the real death. Her soul will go to the palace of Mandos, where she will live a very happy life."

"But we can never see each other again, right?" Kili shook his head in pain, "The king expelled her from the kingdom, and now she wants to be buried where she grew up.

Please help me, Mr. Gao Yuan!"

"This is not an excessive request. I believe Her Majesty Thranduil will agree to it. I also assure you that she will get her wish." Gao Yuan assured Qili.

"Although I no longer plan to return to my father's place, I can also promise you that Tariel will be buried in the Woodland Kingdom."

Not long after Gao Yuan made his promise to Qili, Legolas's voice suddenly came from a corner. Gao Yuan looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Legolas with a determined look on his face emerging from the shadows.

appeared slowly.

Obviously, this elf prince has been there for a long time, but he just never showed up.

Gao Yuan took out a green leaf badge from his arms and threw it towards Legolas.

"Take this, I heard Elrohir say that you want to go to Rivendell to stay for a while. With this badge, Rivendell will welcome you at any time, no matter what time." Gao Yuan shouted.

Legolas caught the badge thrown by Gao Yuan and shook his head with a wry smile: "This is no longer important. Maybe I will wander alone for a while and then go to Rivendell."

"Anyway, I won't go back to my father."

Gao Yuan glanced at Tauriel in Kili's arms and smiled bitterly. He understood what Legolas meant.

This love triangle thing is really too bloody.

Licking a dog, licking until there is nothing left.

"Have you seen where Thorin Oakenshield is?" Gao Yuan did not forget his purpose.

Kili raised his head and looked around, then shook his head blankly: "Thorin, he went after Azog. I was held back by those damn orcs and couldn't keep up with him."

"When we first came to this ruins, I saw Thorin Oakenshield fighting with a group of orcs."

Legolas noticed Thorin's position. As an elf archer, his eyesight was very good.

"Where?"

"On the frozen river in the mountains!" Legolas pointed to the west of the ruins of the watchtower.

Gao Yuan looked in the direction of Legolas's finger, and he saw the frozen waterfall that also appeared in the movie.

That place no longer belongs to the scope of the dwarf watchtower. No wonder Gao Yuan and others did not find the location of Thorin Oakenshield in the ruins of the watchtower.

Gao Yuan looked at Gandalf and Bard behind him and motioned for them to go with him.

Before leaving, Gao Yuan did not forget to pat Qili's shoulder.

"We are going to find Thorin Oakenshield. Don't forget to take your brother with us."

Gao Yuan was referring not only to the two dwarves Balin and Dwalin who were still alive, but also to his brother Fili, who was killed by the Nazgul. His body was still lying on the platform where Gao Yuan fought with the Nazgul.

After saying that, Gao Yuan took Gandalf and Bard and rushed along the stairs on the edge of the cliff in the direction Legolas pointed.

This frozen river on Raven Ridge is actually the source of the running river at the foot of the mountain that flows through River Valley City and eventually merges into Long Lake. The melted snow on the top of the lonely mountain usually follows this river.

Into the running river.

Of course, the water in the rushing river cannot all come from the melted snow on the top of the lonely mountain. A considerable part of the river water actually comes from the groundwater of the lonely mountain.

When they stepped onto the frozen surface of the river, what appeared in front of them was already a bloody and messy frozen river surface.

There were corpses of orcs lying everywhere on the ice, including those of ugly goblins, and more of those left by dirty orcs.

The dirty black blood of orcs and goblins flowed and spread freely on the ice, dyeing almost the entire river black-brown.

A fierce battle once took place here, but obviously a long period of time has passed, because the corpses and disgusting blood were frozen by the cold weather, and there were still traces of blood on the corpses of those evil creatures.

A thick layer of frost forms on it.

Gao Yuan, Gandalf, Bard and others searched all the way along this icy purgatory-like river. From time to time, they would open the corpses of orcs and goblins to look for traces of Thorin Oakenshield.

He was afraid that Thorin Oakenshield would be pressed under the bodies of these orcs and thus be ignored by them.

Until they came to the end of this frozen river, there was originally a waterfall falling vertically from the branch of Gushan. The waterfall was facing the River Valley City.

At this time, it was completely frozen due to the extremely low temperature in the lonely mountain.
