legend begins with lord of the rings

Chapter 17: The Rude Dwarf (2)

The other dwarves who were watching the excitement opened their eyes when they heard Abel's heart-wrenching words, wanting to kill each other with their eyes.

Facing a group of dwarves who glared at him, Abel smiled: "What, did I say something wrong?"

After asking Abel, he deliberately blinked his eyes, looking confused, as if he really didn't know that he had touched the dwarf's sore spot. His expression and demeanor were extremely "well-behaved".

"Bang~"

Thorin saw the look in Abel's eyes, and his anger surged up, like a ignited explosive barrel. He slammed the table and shouted: "You bastard,..."

"Enough!!! Thorin~

These are the companions I have found for you, they are not your enemies." Gandalf shouted loudly.

"I don't need a companion like him!!" Thorin increased his voice again.

The faces of the dwarves present were all serious.

Gandalf could only appease the dwarves first.

"I want to know their purpose, Gandalf.

They don't look like they can fight at all.

Not everyone is qualified to take a share of the dwarf's treasure house." Thorin said.

After Gandalf explained, everyone returned to their seats. Thorin also calmed down. He knew the importance of this journey to the dwarves. But he was still picky, especially his dissatisfaction with Abel was written on his face.

"The Lonely Mountain is occupied by Smaug, and he knows the scent of the dwarves very well. The dwarves alone cannot steal the Arken Stone.

Bilbo is the best candidate I'm looking for as a snitch. Hobbits are born with thick feet and can walk without making any sound. This is their talent." Gandalf first said the importance of Bilbo's joining.

"No, we can get the gems back by ourselves. We dwarves can also tread lightly. It's not difficult." Thorin insisted.

"Believe me, your walking sound can be heard clearly from a kilometer away. The dragon is not that easy to fool." Gandalf was a little troubled by the dwarves' stubbornness.

"No, no, I haven't agreed to follow you to deal with the dragon. And I said: I have never stolen anything, never." Bilbo finally understood what the wizard wanted him to do. In addition to meeting the dragon

, and let him steal things.

Bilbo said that he would never steal anything even if he died, which was a slander against an honest and trustworthy hobbit.

But it's a pity that neither the wizard nor Thorin paid attention to him.

The wizard was staring at Thorin, waiting for him to make a decision. Thorin saw the hobbit's huge feet, thought about it, and said to Balin: "Show Mr. Baggins the contract we drafted."

A long contract was handed to Bilbo. It stated in detail that if you help the dwarves recapture the Lonely Mountain, you can get one-fourth of the treasure in the Lonely Mountain treasure. Of course, this is just a draft.

Bilbo saw "funeral expenses" on it, which made him very scared.

"What is this? Compensation for accidental injuries, as well as cleaning fees and funeral expenses. Can someone explain it to me?" Bilbo asked in surprise.

"We cannot guarantee your safety along the way." Thorin replied looking at the hobbit.

"Yes, we will meet a giant dragon! You know the dragon, right?

It's the kind that breathes fire. As long as you touch it, the flesh all over your body will melt, like mashed potatoes, making it very difficult to clean up." Balin explained to Bilbo in more detail.

"The dragon is terrifying..."

Some older dwarves had seen how powerful Smaug was back then.

The dwarves' explanations made Bilbo even more frightened, and he became even more resistant to this adventure.

After talking about Bilbo's usefulness, Gandalf continued: "As for Mr. Abel, he is an adventurer with many magical abilities. And he also knows many unknown secrets, including things about the dwarves.

.If you want to succeed this time, I suggest you keep him and his friends."

Thorin stared at Abel and frowned, thinking for a long time: "I don't think they are worth my price."

Although dwarves are rude, they are also very trustworthy. If they accept a person to join the adventure team, the wealth gained from the adventure will be equally distributed, just like what is written in the contract given to Bilbo.

"As an adventurer, my goal is not your dwarven treasures.

How about this? After completing the adventure, my friends and I will only take two things from the treasure as souvenirs." Abel stated his request. Finally, he added: "If it doesn't work, then I will start this adventure by myself.

, you must know that this adventure is not exclusive to you dwarves."

Abel has the support of the system and is not short of money at all. Treasures actually don't matter to him. Moreover, he also played a word game in his words just now.

Two treasures: one is a gold coin, the other is a gem.

There is nothing wrong with understanding it this way.

After listening to Abel's words, Thorin was indeed tempted after weighing the pros and cons. The key was that what the other party wanted was really too little. Dwarves pay attention to credibility, but they are not stupid. Who wouldn't like it if they could get two laborers for free?

"Okay, you can join. But the reward can only be two treasures from the treasury." As a royal, Thorin made a decisive decision: "Bahrain, you draft three new contracts. Baggins' reward will be sixteen

One by one."

The adventure team had reached an agreement before Bilbo agreed, and the benefits were distributed. In theory, Bilbo got one-sixteenth of the treasure, Abel and Abel got two treasures, the wizard Gandalf was free, and the rest were left.

The treasures below belong to the dwarves.

Why is Gandalf free? I explained Gandalf’s purpose of helping the dwarves take back the Lonely Mountain before. It can only be said that the free ones are the most expensive.

"There are only Durin dwarves here, right? What do the other six races of dwarves say? Isn't the meeting of Eredlon held?" After the team was assembled, Gandalf asked Thorin about the internal situation of the dwarves.

"The dwarf representatives from the seven countries at the Eredlon Conference are here, and they agreed to this trip to the Lonely Mountain. It's just that group of cowards who are unwilling to send people to act with me... They are afraid of the damn giant dragon on the Lonely Mountain.

." Thorin took a sip of the fruit wine Bilbo brewed and spoke angrily.

This operation on the Lonely Mountain was all planned by Gandalf. He first met the frustrated Thorin in the tavern and proposed to help him recapture the Lonely Mountain. Then, he asked Thorin to return to the Blue Mountain as a royal family and open up the world of Yi Rui.

The Delong Conference gathered the dwarf leaders of the seven countries. They then found the strongest warriors of each tribe from other dwarf leaders and formed an elite team to secretly go to Gushan.

Finally, Gandalf helped the dwarves find a snitch to join them. After arriving at the Lonely Mountain, he asked the snitch to steal the Arken Stone. In the wizard's plan, this Lonely Mountain operation was foolproof.

Unfortunately, the dwarves were frightened by the dragon Smaug.

At the meeting of Eredlon, they stated that they could only order them if Thorin brought out the Arken Stone.

But the goal of this Operation Lonely Mountain is to get back the Arken Stone. Where did Thorin get the Arken Stone?

This is an infinite loop.

Therefore, the thirteen dwarves who came this time are all from the Durin dwarf clan. They are either old men from the royal family or relatives of Thorin.

"What is the attitude of Dann, the dwarf king of the Iron Hills?" Balin asked suddenly. He knew Dann, and his fiery personality should not make him afraid of the dragon.

"Dan won't come. He only agreed to be our backup this time." Thorin replied.

"How can this be done? We need people...we need many, many people..." Feili said worriedly. He knew that it would be difficult to return to Gushan this time.

"I heard that the gate to Gushan has also been sealed... We can't get in..." Qili also talked about the difficulties they would encounter.

The dwarves discussed again, and they were not confident about the future.

"Don't worry, Thorin. You will succeed, and you will become a great dwarf king." Gandalf said firmly, taking out a map and a key from his arms.

"Where did you get this key?" Seeing the key in the wizard's hand, Thorin became uneasy. He remembered that this key belonged to his father, Thorne. He asked with a trembling voice: "Have you met him?

, you met my father, where is he?"

"I'm sorry, Thorin. I couldn't save your father.

This key and map were given to me for safekeeping before he was captured, and now I hand them over to you." Gandalf said and handed the key to Thorin."

Speaking of the key and map to open the Lonely Mountain, Gandalf also got it by accident.

Many years ago, when he was exploring the news of Sauron alone, he came to Dol Guld and met Thorne, who was imprisoned by Sauron. Thorne gave him the key to the Lonely Mountain.

This time Gandalf was looking for the person who opened the Lonely Mountain, and it was a coincidence that he met Thorin for the first time.

All I can say is that this is fate.
