How to break into a ring

The dwarves hiding in the tunnel on the mountain wall listened to the angry roar of the dragon in the distant hall, and their faces became ugly.

The treasure is right in front of you, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Smaug even slept with his eyes half-closed. The dragon's sense of smell was very keen. The dwarf had just poked his head out of the tunnel and saw the magnificent pile of gold coins and jewels in the hall. Smaug had already let out a roar from his deep sleep. wake up.

Fortunately, the tunnel entrance is narrow and strong.

Even if the dwarves turned and fled quickly, the flames from Smaug's breath scorched their hair and beard.

Smaug had eaten their mounts just now, and the dwarves speculated that Lake Town might also be burned to ruins by Smaug. This difficult journey was about to end in the most helpless way.

"Let's go back and come back in 50 years..." The dragon will always die of old age!

"We are missing important companions, wizards and hobbits! Maybe we should go back to Mirkwood to find them first, cheer up, the problem will be solved!"

This comfort obviously didn't work well, and the dwarves walked out with heavy steps.

"Oops, this door can't be opened!"

The outside of the tunnel was originally a magic door, which would merge with the mountain after closing it. It was difficult to find and a key was needed to open it. When the dwarves were discovered by Smaug, they ran back in panic and closed the door to prevent Smaug from discovering the mountain. This tunnel in the wall.

"what happened?"

"When Smaug was searching for us outside the Lonely Mountain just now, he slammed into the mountain wall angrily. Now many stones have fallen and blocked the gate!"

"Oh, Ollie! This is sad news!"

"Is there a torch? Hurry up, we have to move the stone away as soon as possible!" The dwarves started to work nervously. They pressed their hands on the mountain wall and could clearly feel the vibration. Go's roar in the lair.

And this time-

Fay and the dragon were looking up at an inconspicuous opening in the hall wall.

"That's the path taken by the dwarves who were spying on your treasure? A cave... There is obviously a hidden tunnel behind it." Fay pretended to be nonchalant, and turned around and said, "This is the place the dwarves built, and they will appear here Not surprising!"

"Damn dwarves! I'll kill...no, eat them!" roared the dragon.

Fay took a step back quietly.

Suddenly Smaug lowered his head, stretched out his claws, and said in a menacing tone, "Catch them for me, or find out where they hide! Great Smaug will generously give you five...five gold pieces!"

Fay looked at the gold coins and jewels all over the floor and silently said:

"Is this the generosity you treat your acquaintances?"

"That's right!" Smaug raised his head proudly, "The wealth is under the claws of the dragon, and no one can take it away. You give me a very familiar feeling, and I am willing to share a part of my wealth with you. This is amazing generosity!"

If five gold coins count as a part, this part is about one billionth?

Fay said the dragon's generosity refreshed his latest understanding of the word "part".

— Well, anyway, he didn't intend to stay here any longer.Smaug's request was just the perfect opportunity for him to leave!

"I'd like to help you solve your problems, but the hole is too high, and I need your help." Fay didn't bother to look at the gold coins and jewels all over the floor, because he was sure that Smaug couldn't pay in advance.

Since you don't plan to come back, it's better to put your attitude a little better:

"As for the gold coins, I don't have a hobby of making beds with gold and gemstones. If they are also inlaid on my arms, I may not even be able to walk. You should keep the five gold coins."

Smaug's eyes lit up.

Giant dragons don’t need wealth at all. They don’t buy food with gold coins, and they don’t wear jewelry to show off. Their anger!

Don't look at the piles of gold coins and jewels in the hall. In fact, every piece is contaminated with Smaug's breath. Its sensitive nose can smell all the smells accurately. Smaug is very satisfied that Fay really didn't try to hide any pieces on him. Gold coins and gems.

"Promise your promise, I will do it!" Smaug used his back as a ladder to let Fay climb up, then slowly moved to the hole, and finally said proudly: "You respect my treasure, which makes me very happy." Glad, so I have a good way to replace the promised reward, when those dwarves are caught, all the gold coins on them will belong to you!"

"..."

How tragic are these dwarves? First, they were asked to pay tolls by elves in Mirkwood, and here the evil dragon directly wanted to kill people and rob money?

Fay stood at the entrance of the cave, and he saw charred marks and paw prints on both sides.

Apparently, Smaug once angrily faced the tunnel that he couldn't get in, and directly moved his mouth to breathe out.The ground is still very hot. If you have an axe, you can dig up the ground and bury a sweet potato, and it won't take long for it to be half-cooked.

"Remember, there are only gold coins. If those nasty dwarves have gold necklaces or gemstone rings, it's mine!"

"..."

Fay, who made up his mind to slip away from this tunnel and never come back, didn't want to continue discussing the details of the spoils with Smaug. He couldn't wait to leave the Lonely Mountain and stay on the road to Mordor—to destroy the Lord of the Rings , must go to Mount Doom, and Fay doesn't mind being a highwayman on the way.

But it's very difficult!

Elves, wizards... plus a lucky hobbit!

Fay's greatest assurance is the internal response—well, it's himself!It's a good idea to let the Lord of the Rings fall into the Long Lake~!

After walking two steps, Fay suddenly turned around and said to Smaug who was lying on the gold coin: "You have to change your sleeping habits, sleep on your left side, and fill the hole in your left chest!"

Smaug exhaled two puffs of black smoke from his nostrils, then rolled over and began to snore.

Fay was annoyed as he walked down the tunnel.

—Smaug was a bad dragon, he really didn't need to remind it, it was the same in Long Lake Town before.

The self-divided attribute of the villain camp of the Supreme Lord of the Rings is too strong!

The tunnel was pitch-black. After walking for a while, Fay felt that the pain in his left foot was not so uncomfortable. He touched it with his own hands, and there was no dislocation or fracture.Probably the wound has healed... The "clothes" made of energy are good for this. You don't need to spend money to see a doctor, and you don't need to eat to fill your stomach. You can see your surroundings clearly in the dark.

The air was starting to get a little bad, which gave Fay a bad feeling.

If this tunnel has an exit, the air should be circulating.

Did he guess wrong?Isn't the exit of this tunnel under the rock, nor is it a well-disguised hole?But a door opened by magic?

That would be bad!Once the door is closed, there is no spell that cannot open it.

Fay heard a rattling and panting sound in the passage ahead. Fay stepped lightly and turned the corner. Then he could only stare dumbfounded at a group of dwarves sweating profusely as they moved stones.

The dwarves were startled too.

The passage behind them is the dragon's lair, how could a person come out suddenly?

A pine torch was stuck on the cave wall, emitting a dull light.

Soon some dwarves reacted, and they quickly picked up their axes (although Smaug occupied this place, but the treasure belonged to the dwarves), furious at the leak of the secret here: "Who are you?! You came here do what?"

Seeing the ax raised in front of him, Fay stepped back decisively and stuck it against the wall, raising his hand to indicate that he had no weapon.

The movement made half of his face appear in the faint firelight.

"It's you!" cried one of the dwarves, furious. "Look at the one who has followed us from Mirkwood! Say, have you been sent by the wood-elves! The elves can't get a dwarf's treasure!"

"...Sorry, allow me to remind you."

Fay also thought about it. Anyway, he probably returned to the Lord of the Rings after he was hacked to death. As long as the Lord of the Rings is not thrown into the crater, he has nothing to fear, so at this time he said calmly: "Your voice Too high and it will wake Smaug!"

The dwarf suddenly covered his mouth.

"I don't know wood elves, I can swear to Vera (god), in fact, I don't even remember who I am!" Fay felt that his ability to open his eyes and tell lies had reached perfection. The lies on the question were all very smooth, "Changhu Town was attacked by a dragon, many houses were burned down, and many people died... Could it be that this has nothing to do with you?"

The dwarves held their axes and looked at each other guiltily.

"If we can get rid of this evil dragon, I believe everyone is willing to pay the price, but I don't have that ability. I can only run away while the dragon is fast asleep!"

"Damn it! This dragon caught people from Changhu Town and brought them back to eat?" The dwarves were angry.

Fay hurriedly changed the subject. He was worried that these dwarves would imitate the warriors and rush to find the dragon desperately: "Is this tunnel blocked by falling rocks?"

"Yes, but move away soon!"

The dwarves were talking, and couldn't help but look at Fay again, making sure again that his ears weren't pointy.

"It's a good thing we didn't take any of the treasure in time, or Smaug might have smashed the wall down, and we'd be stuck here forever!"

The mud-covered dwarves worked together to remove the last stone. They were not worried that Fay would bring someone in to seek the treasure after he knew the tunnel, because this magic door needed a key to open it.

Fay breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon realized that it was too soon.

"... Strange, where is the keyhole?" The dwarf holding the key wondered.

Under the light of the torch, there was no gap in the stone wall, nor was there any keyhole.

"Oops! This door can only be opened from the outside with a key...we can't get out!"

"..."

Seeing the dwarves sitting down dejectedly, Fay felt deeply frustrated.Although he had long complained that the adventures of these dwarves were unplanned, he really didn't know that they hadn't planned to such an extent!Isn't this a tunnel built by dwarves? I don't know how to open the gate...

Forget it, it's useless to say this now, he can't really sell the dwarves to the dragon.

——The point is to leave the Lonely Mountain as soon as possible, before the Ring Spirits arrive with Sauron.

Fay stared at the stone wall closely, wanting to see where the keyhole was, and gradually a strange sight appeared in front of his eyes. Some silver lines outlined the traces of the door frame. Fay also saw the keyhole, which was not far from the ground. place.The keyhole is oddly shaped and floating there, as if through a thick layer of frosted glass.

Fay couldn't help stretching out his hand, and pointed firmly at the keyhole: "Here!"

"Boom!"

There was a sudden pain in his left foot, and the silver line in front of Fay's eyes suddenly disappeared. He took a step back, and only then could he smell the smell of soil and the smoke of burning torches.The dwarves next to them stared round their eyes, and still maintained their previous gestures of holding their heads in frustration, which made their appearance look very funny.

They looked at Fay, and then at the slowly opening stone door.

Fay's "here" didn't speak any language they knew, sort of Elvish, but not.That terrifying feeling of distance and emptiness must be a powerful spell!

"You... are you a wizard?"

The pain in my left foot disappeared, just as inexplicably as when it occurred.

"I don't remember, I know Redagast..." Fay was also worried that the group of dwarves would turn against each other because the gate was no longer safe.

"Ah, the brown-robed wizard!" The dwarves were very happy. Their adventure plan might be successful. As long as they find Gandalf again, there must be a way to kill the dragon!

Not long after Fay and a dozen dwarves left the tunnel, closed the stone gate, and walked out of the lonely mountain.

"What is that?" A black shadow flew across the sky.

Immediately a dwarf rushed over and pulled Fay behind the bushes to hide.

"A dragon, a wyvern...but much smaller than a Smaug!" muttered the dwarf.

Fay's pupils suddenly shrank!

No, this pterosaur-like thing is the mount of the Ringwraiths!Sure enough, the ring spirits have successfully updated their mounts to OTZ just like in the story, so hurry up!

The black dragon-like flying beast stopped outside the gate, refusing to take another step into the dragon's lair.

Pulling the leash around its neck was a hand covered in iron armor.

A man wearing a black robe, a sharp black crown on his head, full armor under the robe, and a shadowy face, got off his mount and stepped on the ground.He brought an incomparably terrifying dark aura, and all the streams on the lonely mountain stopped flowing, and the tiny stones began to vibrate, and some of them had silently turned into fine gravel.

Smaug, who was snoring, woke up suddenly and looked at the door warily.

Heavy steps, suffocating terror, the black knight approached slowly, Smaug had already started to back away, it felt bad.

The black knight turned a blind eye to the piles of gold coins and jewels. He held a chain-like javelin in his hand and a flaming long sword in the other. Hit the wall, and then the mountain of jewels undulates like a sand dune.

Then the stone pillars supporting the entire hall trembled with the steps of the black knight: "Son of Glauron, hand over the ring that does not belong to you!"

The author has something to say: Note: Glauron, the world's first giant dragon

PS: This is not the Witch King of Angmar, you know the white smoky Witch King of Angmar squatting silently in Dol Guldur, crying to the other eight ring spirits in armor and black robes: still looking for demons Jie, actually went through my vest to find the Lord of the Rings...
