The day of Turin was getting closer and closer, and they were divided into small teams one after another, searching for the location of the secret door in the two branches to the west of the top of the lonely mountain.

According to Bilbo's conjecture, if the hints and markings given to them on the map were correct, then the highest point in the center of the two branches of this valley must be the location of the secret door.

But the dwarves still found nothing here. Later, even those who originally reinforced the gate in the south, Gao Yuan and the elves joined the team searching for the secret door.

Days passed, but every time they returned to the camp, they returned disappointed.

Until Turin Day comes, which is the last day of autumn when the moon and the sun will appear in the sky at the same time.

When the sun was about to set, Gao Yuan, Bilbo and others searched on the other side of the valley to no avail and were preparing to return.

When Bilbo was walking around a boulder protruding from the top of a lonely mountain, he accidentally discovered a simple staircase hidden behind the boulder in the shadow of the boulder.

Gao Yuan and others were very excited when they saw this simple staircase, because it was the only trace of artificial excavation they found in this area.

"Your eyes are sharp, Bilbo!" After days of frustration, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed by this sudden discovery, and he patted Bilbo on the shoulder with appreciation.

"Bahrain, go to the camp and tell others to come quickly. It will be sunset soon. We have to reach the top before the sun sets and the moon rises."

"Tell Thorin and the others that we have to spend the night on the top of the mountain tonight, and bring food and blankets." Gao Yuan told Bahrain.

When Balin led the dwarves in the camp to the huge stone, Gao Yuan had already led Bilbo and flew up to the top platform leading to this staircase.

They found an even narrower passage on the top of the mountain platform. Bilbo stood on the top of the rock and shouted loudly to the dwarves down the mountain, urging them to climb up quickly.

The narrow passage is full of traces of manual excavation, and only one person can pass through.

The dwarves followed this winding passage from the west side of the Lonely Mountain to the top of the south side of the Lonely Mountain.

At this time, they were directly above the gate of the Dwarf Lonely Mountain.

There is a staircase behind them, which is hidden in the cracks in the mountain behind the dwarves.

There was no time to appreciate the scenery on the lonely mountain. They continued to climb up the stairs in the crack, and finally came to a platform surrounded by rock walls on three sides.

The entrance to the platform is blocked by the surrounding rock walls, and the opening is facing the western sky, so it cannot be seen from below the Lonely Mountain Dwarf Kingdom.

Even from the river valley where River Valley City is located, it seems like it is just a crack on the top of an isolated mountain.

At this time, looking down from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire southern side of the lonely mountain, and you can also see the camp where they were stationed when they were searching in the south.

On the platform, there were no traces of artificial excavation. What appeared in front of them was a relatively flat and integrated rock wall.

There is no keyhole or door handle, as if this is really a naturally formed platform.

When they followed the winding stairs and found the platform.

No one will doubt whether this is really the location of the secret door.

Who would dig a completely useless staircase on this mountain?

The location of the secret door marked on the map is correct. The secret door of the Lonely Mountain Dwarf Kingdom is indeed located to the south of the top of the Lonely Mountain.

However, this map of Gushan did not tell them that they wanted to go to the secret door south of Gushan.

You need to climb up from the stairs hidden on the west side of Gushan, and then follow the narrow passage to reach the top of the south side of Gushan.

Even with the map in the hands of Thorin and others, it was difficult to find this place. They searched hard for several days on the ridge, in the valley and at the foot of the mountain, but found nothing.

If Bilbo hadn't suggested that they search to the west and happened to find the staircase hidden behind the boulder, they might never have been able to find the location of the secret door in the Lonely Mountain.

The last sun of autumn is about to disappear below the horizon, the sky has been dyed orange by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the last moon of autumn is also slowly rising at this time.

When Turin Day comes, the last moon and the sun of autumn will appear in the sky at the same time. The setting sun, with the afterglow of Turin Day, will shine on the keyhole, and they can find everything on the map.

Indicate the location of the keyhole.

Everyone was excitedly waiting for that moment to arrive, but when they watched the fireball shining with golden light gradually disappearing below the horizon, and the orange-red light gradually disappearing on the mainland, the dwarves became more and more excited at this time.

I'm getting more and more panicked.

The afterglow of the Turin day was about to disappear, but the keyhole had not yet appeared before them.

The dwarves began to take out their weapons and tools, and began to knock and beat on the rock wall, trying to find the location of the keyhole on the smooth rock wall, or hoping to find traces of the door.

"Hurry up, use some force, I can't find the key." Dvalin shouted anxiously.

"Break it open!"

The smile on Thorin's face gradually disappeared at this time, and he was no longer calm. He ordered the dwarves with weapons in their hands to go up and try to break open the secret door.

The dwarves continued to knock on the door.

"It's useless. The secret door is sealed by powerful magic. It's impossible to open the door with brute force." Bahrain shouted.

However, nothing they expected happened.

After struggling for a long time, they were exhausted. When the last ray of sunlight shining on the top of the lonely mountain disappeared from their sight, they collapsed on the ground in front of the stone wall.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thorin held the map of Gushan with trembling hands, and slumped on the ground in despair. He kept chanting the phrase "The moon on the map"

content recorded in the document.

"The setting sun, with the afterglow of Durin's Sun, will shine on the keyhole."

"That's what the map says..."

Bahrain shook his head: "There is no sunshine. We only have that one chance. Now we have no choice. All our previous efforts were in vain."

How excited they were when they discovered this platform, and how disappointed they are now.

Thorin's eyes turned red as he looked at Gao Yuan, who was standing aside without speaking a word the whole time. He placed his last hope on Gao Yuan.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, tell me why, why can't we find the location of the keyhole? Is it because we are missing something, or someone deceived us, or is it that the records on the map are all false?" Thorin was a little incoherent.

.

He was eager to seek answers from Gao Yuan. Except for Gandalf, he had always been the most knowledgeable person in this team.

Because Gao Yuan was familiar with the plot, he did not fall into hysterical despair like those dwarves.

Just now, when they were trying to find the location of the key and pry open the door, he had been calmly analyzing the situation of the secret door based on the plot in the original movie.

"Perhaps, Thorin, you all made a mistake." Gao Yuan's tone sounded very flat.

Thorin's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the last straw, he jumped up from the ground.

"We... made a mistake... what?" Thorin asked tremblingly.

Gao Yuan's words attracted the attention of everyone present, and they were all waiting for Gao Yuan's speech.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly: "Perhaps the moon text on the map never recorded any guidance or methods for finding the secret door."
