legend begins with lord of the rings

Chapter 72: Win-Win Cooperation (1)

In Abel's eyes, the palace in Rivendell was decorated with splendor and the tableware was made of pure silver. This at least proved that the elves there lived a very prosperous life.

But here in the Woodland Kingdom, nothing but stones are stones. The only thing that can be said is that the craftsmanship of carving the stones is very skillful.

"Yeah?"

Hearing the female elf's rebuttal, Abel smiled.

Tariel, the guard captain, is not a man of high rank. Abel continued to ask: "If you don't pursue material comfort...then what do you usually eat? Eat leaves and drink dew?"

The geographical location of the Woodland Kingdom means that the products here are not very rich. Moreover, along the way, Abel did not see the elves here developing planting industry.

"Elves don't eat much."

When asked by Abel, Tariel thought for a while before finding a suitable answer.

Strictly speaking, elves feel hungry, but they will not starve to death. As long as they can endure the discomfort of hunger, elves can actually survive without eating. At most, they will only become weak.

"Your food sources should be wild fruits and animals in the forest.

Now that the forest is seriously corroded by the black mist, you may not really need to eat soon." Abel analyzed the situation for the female elf.

If there is no war, the woodland kingdom can indeed maintain its operation through low consumption. But now the forest is polluted, and war is about to come.

The elves of the Woodland Kingdom are now in a very awkward position.

Once the war starts, without sufficient reserves, weapons and armor cannot be replenished, the Woodland Kingdom will soon be dragged down, and in the end it will be reduced to a piece of fat.

These are the problems that Woodland King needs to solve urgently now.

"I know your purpose this time. Maybe others will think this is a righteous expedition..." Thranduil looked at Thorin and said: "Kill the evil dragon and take back the Lonely Mountain...

But I know your motives are not that noble...

You have found the secret passage and want to steal back the gem... a gem that can rule all dwarves - the Arken Gem.

That gem is of inestimable value to you...

There is also the gem I want in the lonely mountain, the white gem...it is as bright as the starlight..."

At this point Thranduil stopped, he wanted to see the dwarf's reaction.

Thorin was surprised that the other party knew all his secrets. However, he also saw Thranduil's intention, which was to get back the white gem necklace.

Thorin will never fulfill the other party's wish. Thranduil wants to get the white gem back, dreaming...

With a sneer, Thorin said: "I'm listening, you continue..."

The dwarf's attitude was very casual, as if he had the advantage and the other party wanted something from him.

"I can help you...

Let the dwarves go...

The condition is that after the dwarves recapture the Lonely Mountain, they return the white gem necklace to me." Thranduil stated his request.

The white gemstone necklace was a token of love between Thranduil and his wife, expressing his feelings for his deceased wife. In order to get back this meaningful necklace, Thranduil chose to make concessions to the dwarves.

After Thorin heard Thranduil's conditions, his eyes were full of ridicule. He stared at the Elf King in front of him, and finally his anger broke out:

"I don't believe you, Thranduil.

Your promise is worthless to me...

Those who keep their promises will never leave their allies behind, even if it is the end of the world...

And you have no credibility at all.

I saw with my own eyes that you betrayed the covenant, leaving the former dwarves to starve and become homeless...

I begged you at that time, but you chose to turn around and leave.

It was you who caused my homeland to be destroyed and swallowed up, and the people suffered unspeakably...

I curse you...May you be burned to death by the flames~"

Thorin recalled the painful experience of the Lonely Mountain being burned by Smaug, and became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he directly cursed Thranduil.

"Don't tell me about Gushan, let alone the evil dragon that destroyed your home...

Do you think I haven't stopped the dragon?" Thranduil was angered by Thorin.

He stretched his face in front of the dwarf, and his delicate face slowly melted away under Thranduil's painful expression. Only a rotten face with pits and pits after being burned by the fire was left.

This face was burned like this by dragon flames because Thranduil blocked the evil dragon Smaug from taking over the Lonely Mountain.

The elf's ugly appearance only appeared for a moment. Then Thranduil returned to his delicate face and said: "I warned your grandfather, but Thor didn't listen.

It was his greed and stubbornness that attracted the evil dragon.

Your expression now is exactly the same as his expression then..."

Thranduil shook his head, turned around and walked slowly back to the throne. He waved to the elven guards, and two guards came up, controlled Thorin, and prepared to escort him back to the dungeon.

"Stay here until you rot if you like!

For an elf, a hundred years... is just a moment, I am patient, I can wait.

When you die...trust me...I will get back what belongs to me." Thranduil said to Thorin who was being escorted away.

Thorin looked gloomy and did not look at the Elf King again.

When he was escorted to the door, he saw Abel at the door. Thorin did not speak, but just glared at Abel, but there was a hint of warning in his eyes.

It seemed that the talks had fallen apart. Abel looked at Thorin, who was showing off his aura of keeping away from strangers, and could only helplessly shake his head.

After Thorin walked away, Abel straightened his clothes and slowly walked into the hall. When he came to Thranduil, he nodded slightly and saluted.

"Dear Mr. Thranduil, nice to meet you." Abel's etiquette was flawless.

"Friend of Gandalf the Grey, you are..." Although Thranduil had just argued with the dwarf, he quickly hid his emotions and there was nothing unusual on his face.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Abel, and I am an adventurer.

If you are worried about the future of the forest, maybe I can give you some advice." After introducing himself, Abel stated his purpose.

"Adventurer, you look very confident." Thranduil took a serious look at the human in front of him and asked with a smile: "What bargaining chips do you have... and what do you want from me... Mr. Abel."

"Take back the white gem necklace..." Abel paused for a moment before asking: "Does this count as a bargaining chip?"

"Why should I believe that you can bring me a white gem necklace?" Thranduil was obviously tempted.

He was very obsessed with the white gemstone necklace, which was a souvenir he gave to his wife. Who knew that back then, he took out the white gemstone and asked the dwarves to help create it again.

As a result, after the necklace was completed, Sol had the idea of ​​​​devouring it for himself because it was so beautiful.

Thranduil has thought of many ways to get the necklace back over the years, but unfortunately the Lonely Mountain was occupied by Smaug, and he never found a chance.
