Chapter 1215 White Gem
Soon, only Xufeng and King Thranduil were left on the huge platform.
King Thranduil sat down at the banquet table unhurriedly, filled himself a glass of moonlight wine, and took a sip lightly.
"Now, there is no one else here, so just say what you have to say."
"White gemstone necklace." Xufeng said bluntly.
King Thranduil was startled, and almost lost the moonlight wine glass in his hand.
He stared at Xufeng with wide eyes, "What did you say?"
Xufeng sat down unhurriedly, poured herself a glass of moonlight fine wine, took a big sip, and then said with a smile: "You heard me right, it's the white gemstone necklace."
King Thranduil said coldly: "Can you help me find the white gemstone necklace? Do you know where the white gemstone necklace is?"
Xufeng said lightly: "In the Gushan Palace, it's not easy to find. After all, there are too many gold and silver treasures in the Gushan Palace, and there is also a prehistoric dragon."
Thranduil frowned slightly: "You know everything? However, finding the white gemstone necklace is definitely not that simple. Besides Smaug, there is another person who is difficult to deal with, and that is the headstrong Thorin. If Thorin knew that you gave me back the white stone necklace, he would be mad!"
Xufeng grinned and said: "So, you have already discussed this deal with Sorin, but Sorin didn't agree."
Thranduil sneered and said: "The dwarves are all greedy and shameless. Facts have proved that I shouldn't make a deal with him, but why should I trust you, human? Your other teammates are as good as Thorin. Very close, Sorin should be your friend, right? Are you willing to take the risk of offending your friend to make this deal with me?"
Xufeng took another sip of the moonlight wine, then shrugged and said: "First of all, Sorin is not my friend, but the human mercenaries you imprisoned are my friends, so from this point of view, I would like to Make this deal with you. Secondly, if you don't trust me, what can you do? Do you want my mercenary friends to be imprisoned forever?"
That's right on point.
King Thranduil can imprison the Lone Mountain dwarves without limit, but he cannot imprison humans without limit.
The Lone Mountain dwarves have no country, but humans have a country. Detaining humans is likely to cause diplomatic disputes.
Although King Thranduil is not worried about human diplomatic disputes, it is not what King Thranduil wants to see if disputes arise for a few "unimportant" humans.
King Thranduil thought for a while, "Can you really help me get the gemstone necklace?"
Xufeng smiled and said: "I only promise to help you, but if I can get back the gemstone necklace, then there is no way to guarantee it."
King Thranduil frowned and said, "You said you wanted to make a deal with me, and you asked me to let your friend go, but in the end you didn't even give me the promise to bring back the white gemstone necklace. I'm at a loss for this deal. of."
Xufeng smiled and said: "As far as I know, the white gemstone necklace should be priceless, right? It's just a matter of little effort for you to let my friends go. I will bring you a priceless treasure for your little effort. This deal It's not quite the same."
King Thranduil said coldly: "Okay, I understand what you mean, I can put it on your friend, and you don't have to promise me that you will get back the white gemstone necklace, but as long as you can help me Bring back the gemstone necklace, I can give you whatever you want."
Xufeng smiled faintly, "Really?"
King Thranduil added: "Of course, what you want must be within my capabilities."
Xufeng smiled and said: "Of course. Oh, by the way, why is that white gemstone necklace so important to you? As far as I know, there should be many rare treasures in the Gushan Palace, and there are even The heart of the mountains, their heritage, whoever can get the heart of the mountains can control the nine dwarf kingdoms, why don't you want the heart of the mountains?"
King Thranduil said with a cold smile: "The heart of the mountain, that is indeed a treasure, but it doesn't mean anything to me. You see, I am the king of the wood elves, and I can A grand starlight dinner is held every night in my country, I have an almost endless lifespan, and my subjects are all beautiful men and women, why should I rule over those dirty and greedy dwarves?"
Xufeng smiled and said, "It's true."
King Thranduil sighed faintly, "Besides, the white gemstone necklace is originally the treasure of our wood elves, not the Lonely Mountain dwarf's."
"Oh?" Xufeng slightly raised his eyebrows.
King Thranduil said: "The white gem is the inheritance gem of the wood elves. Since the wood elves existed, the white gem has belonged to our wood elves. We wood elves have experienced a lot of hardships, and we have also gone through a lot. But no matter what, the white gems belong to us. Until one day, I want to present the most beautiful necklace in the world to my wife on her 8000th birthday.”
King Thranduil sighed, and closed his eyes with a painful expression, as if he was very unwilling to recall the situation at that time.
But he continued in a calm tone: "We elves are also skilled craftsmen in making weapons and equipment. But the best metal materials are all from the lonely mountain."
"So I brought you a white gem and went to the Lonely Mountain to make a deal with the then King Sol of the Lonely Mountain. After King Sol knew my purpose, he readily agreed. After all, for the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain Said, this is a great opportunity for them to earn gold coins."
"King Sol's lion opened his mouth wide. He told me that it would take at least three months and 300 million gold coins to create the most perfect necklace."
"To be honest, this price is tantamount to extortion. Even if the necklace is made of the best metal and craftsman in the world, it will not cost 30 gold coins. But, I don't care, I only care about a perfect necklace .”
"My wife is very ill. Everyone knows that she will die soon. I want to give her the most perfect necklace before she leaves."
"Therefore, I agreed to the price of 300 million gold coins almost without hesitation, and paid a deposit of 100 million gold coins on the spot."
"When I handed over the gold coin to King Saul, I clearly saw the greed in the eyes of the dwarves."
"I have some regrets and some hesitation, but I finally took out the white gemstone and gave it to King Sol."
"I promise King Sol that as long as he can make the most perfect necklace in the world according to my requirements, then our wood elves will be his most steadfast allies in the future and will never betray him."
King Thranduil said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not, human beings, that's what I said at the time, and I also thought so."
Chapter 1216 Poor people must have something to hate
Xufeng nodded slightly.
Judging from Thranduil's current expression, he didn't lie, and there was no need to lie.
Thranduil continued in a cold voice: "After hearing my promise, Seoul and the other dwarves are naturally very happy. Their status in the dwarf tribe is already very worrying. They urgently need to find someone as powerful as our manager Mu." ally."
"So, I took out the white gem with confidence and presented it in front of the dwarves."
"When they saw my white gem, everyone was dumbfounded. Their eyes were full of greed for the treasure, but at that time, I couldn't take it back."
"At that time, I believed that Thor, as the long-established dwarf king, would not embezzle treasures that did not belong to him. What's more, we still have 300 million gold coins, which is an agreement to form an alliance."
"In my opinion, no matter from any point of view, high gold coins and strong alliances are the most important things for a country."
"However, three months later, when I returned to the Lonely Mountain Palace with 200 million gold coins, King Sol received me with a very arrogant attitude. It was he who asked me to meet him, saying that only in this way can I show Show my sincerity for the alliance."
"I am very angry in my heart. As the king of the wood elves, I must maintain my dignity, because my dignity is the dignity of all our wood elves."
"However, the white stone is still with King Sol. I need it very urgently, because my wife is dying."
Speaking of this, Thranduil's eyes were filled with tears, and his fingers were clenched.
Partly because of humiliation, partly because of heartbreak.
Such a man who was the coldest and most ruthless in the eyes of the world turned out to be so affectionate.
Xufeng couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Thranduil controlled his emotions, and continued to speak in a cold tone: "For the sake of the white gemstone necklace, I endured it, and I slightly bent my knees towards King Sol who was sitting on the high throne. Human beings, you must know that I have lived for tens of thousands of years, I have experienced two wars that could destroy the world, I have faced the wrath of Smaug, I have fought against Sauron's army, I have never surrendered to anyone, but That's when I literally bent my knees."
"King Sol and the other dwarves were so proud, as if the whole world was under their feet, I proposed to use the final payment of 200 million gold coins to exchange for my white gemstone necklace. This is a very legitimate request. However, Suo But the king of Seoul sneered at me, saying that I want to use such a little money to buy the most unique white gemstone necklace in the world."
"I couldn't help being a little angry, because at the time the deal was 300 million gold coins, and I had already paid 100 million in advance. This price was also 10 times higher than the actual price!"
