Under the leadership of the forest elves, everyone quickly walked out of the dense forest area polluted by black magic along the way. .biquge

Gradually, the originally narrow road began to widen, and the verdant green came back into the sight of everyone.

After about half an hour, the residence of the Kingdom of Darkness was already in sight. It was a building built behind a raging river.

Against the background of the shade and the colorful light, it looks very quiet.

Looking head-on, it has an elegant and mysterious style. There are several solid marble pillars in the shape of tree roots at the door, and the exterior is entangled by plant vines.

But the whole building is inlaid in a large stone mountain.

Compared with Rivendell's sunset canyon-style fairyland architecture, the overall style of the Forest Kingdom is a bit gloomy, and it really complements the name of their kingdom.

According to Liang Yue's understanding of the plot, the main part of this place where the forest elves live together seems to be a continuous and wide rock cave.

To a certain extent, it is actually a kind of road with the previous goblin lair, and they are all built in the mountain.

But these elves are obviously better at living, even in rocky caves, they can create a dark elegance

It is worth mentioning that although the elves were semi-forced to bring them to their settlement at this time, the location of this dark kingdom is actually in the same direction as the lonely mountain, the king's capital of the dwarves. .

As long as they drifted down the river in front of the elf cave, they would soon reach the foot of the majestic mountain.

Liang Yue remembered that there was a big lake there, the climate was cold, and there was a human town built beside the lake.

Therefore, the dwarves seemed very quiet at this time. On the way, from time to time, they would glance at the lonely mountain that was already in the distance through the gap between the forests.

His expression was full of nostalgia and excitement.

After a while, everyone stepped into the gate of the forest elf settlement, and what they saw was a vast mountain cave.

The interior of the grotto is very wide, with hundreds of turns and thousands of turns, extending in all directions. The terrain is undulating, but the main road is very flat.

A single pendant lamp is decorated around the ceiling and pillars of the cave, lighting up the dim light in the cave.

Groundwater flows through the low-lying places in the cave, bringing moist and fresh air to this country that is almost closed to the outside world

Led by Legolas, the crowd soon arrived near the main building of the elven kingdom. Through an oval stone arch, King Thranduil was sitting on a high throne at this time.

Of course, not everyone in the team is qualified to meet the lord of a country of the elves.

In the end, only Arwen, Liang Yue, Thorin, and the white-bearded dwarf were the four who approached the stone palace, and the two dwarves were forced to disarm before entering the door.

"Dear Alwen, I am very glad that you can come to the Forest Kingdom as a guest, but as your elder, I still want to remind you that with your noble status, you should not join this journey."

The first time he saw Arwen, Thranduil stepped down from the throne, looked at her with a kind smile on his face, and his voice was very soft.

"Dear King Thranduil, thank you for your concern, but this is my choice, and I think this will be a very meaningful journey."

At this time, Alvin politely greeted the other party, and his crystal eyes were full of determination.

"Yes, in a sense, it is indeed a journey that can be remembered by others, and for some people, it is even more a sacred expedition.

To slay the dragon and take back the homeland, although I doubt it very much, the motive is not as noble as the rumors, but it is enough to attract the attention of the world. "

As he said that, Thranduil turned his gaze to Thorin who was at the side again, with a look of looking down and a blunt expression on his face, and his tone became haughty.

"Sorin, I think you, with the help of Gandalf, should have found the secret passage leading to the interior of Turin, and you want to find the jewel that symbolizes power and royal rule.

The symbol of the dwarf king, the gem of Arkon, isn't it?"

Having said this, Thranduil put on a knowing smile on his face, and then continued.

"To you, its value is immeasurable. With that gem, you can reconvene the scattered dwarf families, so that the divided dwarf kingdom can be brought together again.

I can understand your plan, and I also support your idea. "

"what do you want"

At this moment, Sorin's eyes looked a little deep, staring directly at Thranduil who was opposite him and asked.

"Don't you know? What I want has always been clear, that piece of white gemstone that exudes brilliance like a star. Back then, I gave it to you dwarves to make jewelry.

It turned out that your grandfather, King Thor of the dwarves, broke the agreement we made because of his greed, and eventually led to the breakdown of the racial covenant.

I can help Thorin to you, but on condition that you return the white gem to me. "

"Hahahahahahaha, you said, it was my grandfather who broke the covenant, do you still think so?"

"Don't you think so?"

"It was your cowardice and cowardice that broke the covenant between the two races. You coward, you were stationed beside the Lonely Mountain with your army, but because you were afraid of Smaug's fierce power, you sat and watched the dragon slaughter us dwarves.

Afterwards, when my people were torn apart and were plundered and slaughtered by half-orcs, you didn't come to support Thranduil according to the covenant, you were just looking for excuses for your cowardice."

Thorin roared and sprayed his saliva at this time, and Thranduil's face turned green when he heard it, and his original elegance turned into anger.

"You rude and stubborn dwarf like your grandfather"

"I don't trust you Thranduil, you treacherous"

"The oak shield of Thorin I am in the name of the king"

"I don't need your help, you little man, even if we dwarves are at the end of the road"

"You are insulting the forest elves"

"I saw you betray your allies once we were displaced and starving"

Seeing the two people taunting and scolding each other, Liang Yue felt a little dizzy for a while, and scratched her head unconsciously.

Seeing that the situation was about to collapse, the guy hurried forward and took a few steps, and the exit interrupted the exchange between the two.

"May I interject a sentence?"

Liang Yue's sudden intervention unexpectedly temporarily separated the attention of the two of them, and then each looked at him panting.

As the lord of this elven kingdom, Thranduil also realized his gaffe just now. He, who prided himself on being noble and elegant, let out a deep breath, and then looked at him pretending to be calm and said.

"Hello, mysterious knight, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"What I mean is, since the two of you have your own insistence and are not willing to give in to each other, why don't you choose to let a third person intervene and be your middle term?"

Liang Yue smiled back and forth between the two of them several times.

"What's the meaning"

Thranduil raised his chin slightly at this moment, and continued to ask.

"King Thranduil, what you want now is the white gem, and what Sorin needs is your release, and then rush to the foot of the Lonely Mountain as soon as possible. Both sides have their own needs.

So now I have a good proposal, according to the agreement signed when I joined the dwarven expeditionary force, if the dragon slaying is successful, and help the dwarves take back the capital.

Then I will own one-fifteenth of the wealth in the treasure house of the Dwarf Kingdom, and I think that I am also qualified to add that white gemstone within this one-fifteenth share. "

After saying that, Liang Yue put on a solemn expression, looked at Thranduil next to her and continued.

"That's why I promise that when things are done, I will return the white gem to King Thranduil as a reward for the forest kingdom's help to us."
