Hello everyone! I'm a coriander!
In the last issue, we finished the story of the first "Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey". Let's move on to the second hobbit: The Battle of Smaug!
At the beginning of the story, it is flashback that Gandalf deliberately created a chance encounter with Brie and Thorin, trying to fool Sorin to retake the Lonely Mountain, Solin asked various questions, and Gandalf had prepared the answer.

Worthy of being the first trafficker in Middle-earth
In the movie, it seems that Thor is translated as Thorin's father...
The names are so confusing that it's hard to tell who's who
So is Thorin talking about his father or his grandfather? Let's take a look at the timeline:
In 2770 A.D., the evil dragon Smaug destroyed the Yamashita Kingdom, and the dwarven inhabitants fled in all directions. Most went to the Iron Hills to join distant relatives.
Iron Ridge
There are also some who choose to follow King Thor and his son Thorne to the Black Barbarian Lands.
Black and brutely
In 2790, Thor was seduced by one of the Seven Precepts of the Dwarves, yearning for the splendor of his ancestor Kazadum, entered Merria alone, and was then killed by Asog.
In 2799 AD, Thorne gathered other dwarven tribes to defeat Asog at Asanusa. Later, he and his son Thorin came to live in the Blue Mountains.
In 2841, Thorne, increasingly obsessed with the wealth of the Lonely Mountain, led a small group of people away from the Blue Mountains.
In 2845, Thorne was captured by half-orcs in the Black Forest and taken to Erdu, Togo.
In 2850, Gandalf met Thorne, who was imprisoned there, during a reconnaissance of Dogurdu.
In 2941, he met Thorin in Brie.
So what Thorin said was that his father had looked for Gandalf before he disappeared.
The camera shifts to 12 months later, at the end of the previous episode, when the thirteen Taibao and his party are rescued by the giant eagle and continue on their way. Bilbo was scouting as if Asog had caught up. Just then, a monster suddenly appeared in the distance, resembling a bear.
Bears haunt, pay attention to safety
Bilbo came back and told everyone to be careful, there were bears infested, and Gandalf seemed to guess who it was! Gandalf was ready to take everyone to the bear's house as a guest, and when asked if they were friends or foes, Gandalf said that they were not.
Playing Lucky Big Wheel that?
In order to avoid the pursuit of the half-orcs, the group had to follow Gandalf to Bear's house. Just in the woods not far from the house, everyone was frightened by the bear chasing after them and ran desperately to the house. Unexpectedly, the fattest Bang Bo in the team was a 100-meter sprinter, throwing everyone off and reaching the finish line first!
Bear big
Are you sure you're a fat guy?
Open the door, this is my home
The dwarves were about to pee, but Gandalf was very calm!
Mom, come and take the handle
Look at your provocations! Calm! Calm!
After the bear left, Gandalf explained to everyone who the bear was. The bear is called Bion, and in the book he is called Beon, a "skinner." Sometimes it was a huge black bear, and sometimes it appeared in the form of a tall and strong human. When you change the bear, you are in a state of rage, and when you change people, you can still be reasonable. But the least favorite thing is the dwarf, no wonder he chases after the dwarf when he sees it.
A look of disgust on his face
Dwarves do not love animals
So what race are the skin changers? Some say that the Bion race is the descendant of the ancient bears who lived in the mountains before the giants came here; some say that they were the descendants of the human ancestors who lived here before the half-orcs came here. Gandalf felt that the latter was reliable, and it was indeed introduced in the movie.
Tragic story
Remember the last episode in which the Giant Eagle rescued them and brought them to the top of a boulder? The boulder was called Cal Rock, a central island in the upper reaches of the Anduin River, and the name given to Bion. This is the farthest point that the Eagles are willing to escort them to.
Carl Rock
Carr Rock is a huge rock like a hill, with a flat top and a carved stone staircase leading to the river beach below, which is also carved by Bion himself. This is an important crossing through the Great River Anduin, so the giant eagles put them here. In the movie, Carl Rock is depicted as a bear's head, which means that this is the territory covered by Bion. In the original book, even after The Death of Bion, Kalyan is controlled by his people, who are responsible for maintaining the security of the Kalyan ferry, but charge high tolls for this. It seems that the toll booth and toll even have Middle-earth!
Gandalf had seen him sit on Karl Rock, watching the moon sink westward into the misty mountains, whispering in the language of a bear, "One day they will pass away, and I will return to my homeland!" However, although Gandalf knew him, Bion did not know Gandalf's name. But he knew the brown-robed wizard Radagast, after all, the brown-robed wizard was the president of the Animal Society, how could the members not know the president.
Later, in the Battle of the Five Armies, Bion rode a giant eagle into the half-orc camp in the form of a giant bear, rescued Thorin, and killed Oak's leader, Polge.
Polger was so far from his dad Asog, what the had done
Carl Rock is not far from Bion's house, so Gandalf chooses to go to Bion first to take refuge. Bion wanders around in bear form, and in human form, he raises many cattle and horses as good as him, and many ferocious wild bees, and he lives mainly on cheese and honey. So in the movie, the thirteen taibao just ran into the yard, and there was a big bee flying in front of them.
I'm really not a fly
Good short legs
There are cattle here
In the middle of the night, Asog wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on the dwarves, but Bion was guarding the outside in the form of a bear, and the bear was still very scary.
Asog wanted to attack the Thirteen taibao at night
Early the next morning, Bion warmly welcomed Sorin and his party in a human form. He also told the dwarves that he hated Asog too, because Asog had killed most of their people before, and the surviving people were captured and imprisoned and tortured for fun, and he was left alone.
Bion was also imprisoned and tortured by Asog
Bion hated the half-orcs more than the dwarves and decided to help the dwarves. The last help Bion gave to the Thirteenth Taibao was the short-legged horse.
It's better than walking to the Black Forest
Gandalf and his party ran happily on a pony, and soon came to the Front of the Black Forest, what was waiting for them inside?
The group came to the Black Forest
Well, little partner, this issue will first talk about it here for the time being.
