Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 132 I saw him shine!
River Valley Township.

City Hall Square, inside the golden royal court tent.

The elf king of Thranduil finally couldn't take it anymore when he saw the sorcerer talking so much.

"Those orcs you speak of have been hidden for so long."

Thranduil got up and looked at Gandalf and said contemptuously, "Then why didn't they continue to hide, but chose to attack at this time?"

"Of course we forced it!"

Gandalf said decisively, and continued: "It was Thorin Oakenshield and his party's expedition to recover the kingdom below the mountain that forced them to attack."

"Those dwarves never had a chance to reach Erebor."

"The orcs led by Azog the Destroyer have been hunting them down."

"The real master behind Azog has always wanted to occupy the Lonely Mountain."

"Not only because of the treasures in the lonely mountain, but also because of the crucial strategic location of the lonely mountain."

"Because if they start from the Lonely Mountain, they can conquer the land of Angmar further north."

"If that terrifying kingdom revives and rises again, Rivendell, Lorien, Shire, and even Gondor will all be captured!"

Gandalf solemnly opened his mouth and revealed the conspiracy of the orcs.

Thranduil was the king of elves anyway, although he hated or even hated Gandalf, a frightening wandering wizard like Gandalf.

But he could still hear the seriousness of Gandalf's message at this time.

Slightly put away the contempt on his face, Thranduil looked at Gandalf seriously and asked, "Mithranduil, these orc armies you are talking about."

"Where are they now?"

Facing the elf king's question, Gandalf, who was originally astonishingly imposing, was immediately at a loss for words.

He did meet the orc leader Azog and a large number of orcs in the ruins of Dol Guldur.

When he was seriously injured by Sauron and trapped in the cage, he also vaguely saw the orc army leaving the ruins of Dol Guldur.

He knew that Azog's ultimate goal must be to enter the Lonely Mountain.

However, he really didn't know where those half-orcs were now.

Looking at Gandalf who was embarrassed and speechless, Thranduil couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile again.

But at any rate, it can be seen that Gandalf has a good relationship with Morgan, the dragon slaying warrior.

Thranduil didn't say anything harsh, but just turned around and sat back on the bench, ignoring Gandalf at all.

At this time, Morgan immediately stood up, smiled and said a few words to ease the atmosphere, and quickly led Gandalf out of the royal court tent.

"Don't you even believe me?"

Gandalf looked angrily at Morgan, who was almost standing him out, and said.

Morgan shook his head and smiled, "Gandalf, of course I will believe you, just like I believed you when we first met."

"I've always believed in you."

"but."

Having said that, Morgan, who had left the royal court and walked to the corridor of the city hall, stopped and said in a deep voice, "That Thranduil doesn't trust you at all, Gandalf."

"Unless you have completely accurate information, the other party will not believe you."

"I can see that he has prejudice against you."

Morgan watched Gandalf finish speaking in a deep voice.

Gandalf was silent.

He did notice Thranduil's strange attitude towards him.

Think about it for a moment.

Gandalf could even guess where these strange attitudes came from.

The feud between Thranduil and the Erebor line of dwarves had been built up long ago.

It turned out that Erebor was attacked by the dragon Smaug, and the country fell.

Seeing the enemy suffer, no one knows how the Elf King Thranduil, who is in the dark forest, is feeling, whether he is happy or not.

But certainly not sad for the dwarves.

If it goes on like this, Thranduil won't feel anything.

However, Gandalf actually instigated and organized Thorin Oakenshield, the heir of Erebor's orthodox bloodline, an expedition to recover Erebor.

In the end, it was successfully recovered by Thorin Oakenshield in one fell swoop.

And all this was caused by the expedition organized by Gandalf at the beginning.

Now Thranduil himself is coming to deal with the dwarves himself.

As the culprit, Gandalf actually came to persuade himself not to use soldiers against the dwarves.

How could Thranduil bear this.

He was already very restrained in being able to slam Gandalf away from the very beginning.

How could it be possible to listen to Gandalf's persuasion and give him a good look.

Just when Gandalf was silent.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Morgan turned around and saw Bud following him.

He reached out and patted Gandalf on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, don't think about it."

"It happens that there is still a lot of Smaug's meat left. It's been a long time. Let's have a drink together."

After the words fell, Gandalf, who was in deep thought, immediately raised his head, as if wondering if he had heard something wrong, and looked at Morgan suspiciously: "Smaug's meat?"

Morgan grinned at Gandalf, feeling relieved in his heart: "Yes, it's the meat of Smaug, the dragon Smaug."

In the depths of the lonely mountain.

In front of the armory.

He looked at Thorin Oakenshield, who looked terrible and hysterical.

Bilbo was completely silent.

He finally understood what Bahrain had said to him on King's Row:
"Arkon Gem is the King of Gemstones"

"It empowers the person who wears it"

"Can Thorin be cured?"

"No, it will only make Thorin even more insane."

"Maybe it's best to never find it."

Balin's words kept coming back to mind.

Bilbo understood that Thorin Oakenshield's "dragon disease" had already penetrated into the bone marrow and was terminally ill.

Thorin Oakenshield was hopeless.

It is impossible to expect him to wake up by himself.

The arkon gem must not be given to Thorin
If you want to stop the war between the dwarves and the elves and humans outside, you have to think of other ways.

Bilbo was determined.

At this time, all the dwarves in the armory were fully dressed.

Everyone put on the most powerful armor in the entire kingdom under the mountain, took the sharpest weapons, and strode out.

Bilbo took a last look at Thorin Oakenshield.

Then he turned around, followed behind all the dwarves, and walked out.

Waiting is torture.

Especially waiting for a lost war.

waiting to die.

A group of dwarves who put on the best armor and weapons in their lives.

Standing on the tall city wall of Gushan, looking at the densely packed golden army of elves on the opposite river valley town wall.

At this time, everyone's thoughts were heavy, and no one had the usual joking thoughts in the past.

"You said, can we win this time?"

"impossible"

"Impossible, we are only thirteen now, and there is an entire army of elves on the opposite side!"

"We lost"

"But, hasn't Bahrain already sent a message asking for help?"

"For help, who to ask for help?"

"The Iron Hills?"

"They won't come, have you all forgotten what Thorin said after the Yredron meeting when we were first at Bilbo's house?"

"Dain says it's just our adventure, it's just us"

"Then this time, the thirteen of us will deal with the entire army of elves and those humans?"

"We're just us, what are we afraid of?"

"That's right, we're not afraid of those damn elves!"

"Just do it with them"

"Let them know that we dwarves will never back down! Never surrender!"

"."

The dwarves talked and encouraged themselves.

But anyone can tell that the strong tone hides the weak externally and weakly.

Bilbo was leaning against the corner of the city wall at this time, his eyes were scattered, and his eyes were staring straight ahead in a daze.

Mind wandering is very obvious.

Bilbo was thinking hard now.

He wanted to come up with a way to avoid the war between the dwarves and the army of elves in the opposite valley town.

Bilbo reached into his bosom and seized the smooth arkon, thinking about it.

Not long after, suddenly his eyes lit up.

Bilbo's eyes widened instantly and he came to life.

He finally figured out a way!

Just standing up happily, he suddenly remembered that it was only noon, and it was still far away from night.

So Bilbo sat back in the corner again.

After thinking about the plan in my mind several times, I confirmed that there should be no mistakes.

Bilbo immediately felt much better.

Leaning against the corner, basking in the warm winter sun.

Bilbo fell asleep like that.

Time passed quickly.

When the sun sets at the edge of the sky, darkness covers the sky and the earth, and the cool wind blows on the face.

Bilbo woke up.

After getting up and having dinner with a group of dwarves around the campfire.

Bilbo finds his props for the night and hides them.

Then continue to wait patiently.

Time passed slowly.

The crescent moon at the edge of the day was hidden in the dark clouds.

The world was pitch black.

All the dwarves were asleep, except for the night watch dwarves who continued to gather around the campfire.

Bilbo took a coil of thick rope, and quietly climbed up the high wall of the Lonely Mountain Gate.

Find a spot to hitch the line that looks good during the day.

Bilbo began to get busy.

Only when Bilbo was concentrating on tying the rope.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"You should be inside at this time, so you can avoid the cold wind."

Startled suddenly, Bilbo turned his head hastily.

I saw Bofur, a dwarf in mighty armor, rubbing his hands and standing not far away, staring at the dark night sky in a daze.

Seeing that it was Bofur, Bilbo's extremely nervous mood was inexplicably relieved a little.

He got up quickly, looked at Bofur with an embarrassing smile and said, "The dragon smell inside is bad, and it's too stuffy. I want to come out to get some air."

Bofur looked back at Bilbo, and answered the wrong question: "The elves are already deploying their archers."

"If there are no accidents, the battle must be over before tomorrow night."

"At that time, I didn't know if I was still alive."

Bofur looked at Bilbo and said with a smile, "Everyone has the right to choose whether to live or not. Such people should not be blamed."

Before Bilbo could speak, Bofur went on saying, "It's almost midnight, and Bomber will be on the next shift to keep watch."

"It will take some time to wake Bomber up, I'll go down first"

Bofur turned and walked down as he spoke.

"Bofur."

At last Bilbo spoke, stopped Bofur, and said with a smile, "I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Bofur looked at Bilbo for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "Goodbye, Bilbo."

After speaking, he turned around and went down.

Bilbo didn't care that Bofur didn't understand him either.

He quickly grabbed the fastened rope and dropped it on the boulder outside the thick gate.

Then grab the rope and quickly climb down.

Soon, the nimble Bilbo successfully landed on the ground outside the gate.

Not long after, the small and nimble figure disappeared into the darkness.

River Valley Township.

City Hall Square, inside the Golden King Court Tent.

"When did my opinion become so undervalued?"

Gandalf was angrily questioning Thranduil, who was leaning on the bench: "What do you think I want to do?"

"I think you're trying to save your dwarf friend"

"Don't forget, Mithrandil, this happened because of you"

Thranduil also stood up and spoke bluntly.

Looking at the two people whose needlepoints were facing the wheat awnings in front of them.

Morgan sighed inwardly, but didn't intend to speak.

He had persuaded Gandalf when he drank with Gandalf Bud during the day.

But Gandalf, who knows the horror of orcs, would not be Gandalf if he could listen to persuasion at this time.

Looking at the two who were arguing in front of them.

Morgan already had an idea in his mind about what to do next, how to stop the war between the elves and the dwarves tomorrow.

But there is definitely no way to talk to Gandalf about these thoughts.

So, if Gandalf wants to quarrel, let him quarrel with Thranduil.

Bard on the side looked a little heavy.

Gandalf's words had obviously affected him somewhat.

But the elf king Thranduil blocked Gandalf's "enthusiasm" in front of him.

Bud's expression was quite calm.

at this time.

A short and strong figure suddenly appeared in front of the royal court tent.

Looking at the familiar figure in sight, Morgan immediately widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Bilbo."

Bilbo's unexpected arrival immediately stopped the dispute between the two in the tent.

"Bilbo Baggins."

Gandalf looked at Bilbo with the same surprise as Morgan.

But the Elf King Thranduil looked at Bilbo and recognized him at a glance.

"If I remember correctly, it should be the halfling who stole the key to the dungeon from under the nose of my guard?"

Thranduil watched Bilbo speak slowly.

Bilbo scratched his head in embarrassment, and said softly, "I was right."

"But I'm here today to give you this."

As he spoke, Bilbo stepped forward, took out something wrapped in cloth from his pocket, and put it on the table.

As Bilbo quickly opened the cloth in an instant.

Everyone in the entire royal court tent was stunned.

"Heart of the Mountain."

Thranduil looked at the gemstones on the table that were constantly emitting charming light, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"The King's Treasure."

Bud is also an unbelievable table gem.

Even Gandalf and Morgan focused their eyes on the priceless and precious jewel king in front of them.

Morgan looked at the dreamy gemstones exuding dazzling colors all the time in front of him, and it didn't feel real.

"How do you own something like this?"

Bud reacted quickly, looked down at Bilbo and asked.

Bilbo said calmly, "I take him as a fifteenth part of my treasure commission."

Bud looked complicated, and continued: "Then why did you do this, this is your treasure, and you have no obligation to us?"

"no no."

Bilbo shook his head quickly: "I didn't do this for you."

Having said that, Bilbo looked up at the elf king and the dragon slayer in front of him and said seriously, "I know dwarves are often very stubborn."

"Sometimes it's stupid and difficult, and they're secretive and suspicious"

"And it's impolite beyond imagination."

"However, they are kind, they are brave, and they are even so loyal that they don't ask right from wrong."

"I like them a lot now, so I want to save them as much as I can."

"Thorin, cherish this jewel above all else now."

"You just have to take it to Sorin to exchange it, and I believe he will hand over what you deserve."

"This way, you don't need to go to war anymore."

Bilbo said these weighty words in a very calm voice.

It moved everyone present.

this moment.

Thranduil and Bard looked at Bilbo in disbelief and silence;

Gandalf looked at Bilbo with joy and relief;
When Morgan looked at Bilbo, he saw the deepest brilliance of human nature, which was greatness and radiance.
