legend begins with lord of the rings

In fact, from the first moment he saw Gandalf, Abel had already had an idea that he would not admit.

If he could really become the protagonist in a legendary story, would he still be less famous?

"Resist evil forces and protect the security of Central-Earth" sounds good.

…

Preliminary judgment, Gandalf is still coming in gray robe, so this is Middle-earth.

"The Durin dwarves have agreed to go with you to the Shire?"

Abel continued to ask seemingly casually, but it was actually a test. As long as Gandalf answered this question, Abel could determine the approximate time of the "story".

In case the timing is wrong, Gandalf would just pass by the Shire to explore the road. It would be embarrassing for him to be fighting wits with the air here.

Upon hearing Abel's second question, Gandalf's eyes became sharp, but no matter how he observed it, Abel's expression was flawless, as if he was just chatting with an old friend.

"You're right, Thorin has agreed." Gandalf told him about this trip. He even knew about the dwarves, so he was obviously not an ordinary person.

Speaking of the dwarf Thorin Oakenshield, his life is truly a tragedy.

This starts from the Moria war between the Durin dwarves and the orcs many years ago. Although the dwarves won that war, Thorin's grandfather Thor was gone (his head was chopped off by Azog), and his father

Thorne is gone too (missing, actually captured).

In the battle of Moria, Thorin's only gain was probably the reputation of "Oak Shield":

During the battle, Thorin witnessed his grandfather Thor being beheaded by the Orc leader Azog.

When Azog raised Thor's head in a showy manner, Thorin exploded, and he rushed forward to fight Azog desperately.

During the fight, the shield in Thorin's hand was knocked away by Azog. At the critical moment, Thorin picked up a huge oak trunk at hand and used it as a shield to resist Azog's next attack.

Furthermore, Thorin cut off Azog's right hand through counterattack.

Azog was defeated and was taken back to the Castle of Moria by other orcs.

The dwarves won the war.

However, the battle was won, but Moria could not be taken back. Instead, the dwarves were once again severely weakened, and there were not many people left in the entire tribe.

When Thorin inherited the dwarf throne and became the [King under the Mountain], his real tragedy had just begun.

After becoming the king of the dwarves, Thorin saw that there were not many dwarves left. Thorin had no choice but to take the remaining dwarves from Moria through the misty forest and migrate to the westernmost part of the continent, the Blue Mountains.

However, there was no ore for the dwarves to mine underground in the Blue Mountains. This time, Thorin's group of Durin dwarves lost their livelihood.

As the king of the dwarves, Thorin could not watch his people perish, so he had to find another way to make a living, taking the dwarves to work in a human city near the Blue Mountains. He also found a job as a blacksmith to earn money to support his family.

This is like a piece of "The Tragic History of Thorin's Blood and Tears".

Abel deeply regretted what happened to the dwarves. But this did not prevent him from carrying out his plan.

Abel decided to add another fire. The advantage of knowing the "plot" was reflected: "Help the dwarves take back the Lonely Mountain? Is this your bargaining chip?"

The Gushan now contains the most gold and precious stones in the entire Middle-earth.

Today's Durin dwarves, under the leadership of Thorin, are living in poverty. As their king, Thorin definitely wants to continue to find a way out for the dwarves.

Taking back the Lonely Mountain, their former home, is a good choice. As long as the Lonely Mountain is recaptured, the dwarves can live a prosperous life again.

If Thorin wasn't stupid, his heart would definitely be moved.

As for Gushan being the former home of the dwarves, why did the dwarves leave?

This is a long story again:

The original dwarves actually lived in Moria, where they happily mined ores every day and lived a happy and fulfilling life. However, because they did not know restraint, they hollowed out the entire crust of Moria, attracting magma from the core of the earth.

The Balrog.

The Balrog was angry and destroyed the dwarves' first home in Moria. With their home gone, the dwarves had no choice but to move eastward from Moria, arriving at the Lonely Mountain in the easternmost part of Middle-earth.

After settling in the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves continued to mine ores. This mining was incredible, and the dwarves discovered countless gold and gems in the ground. Through continuous mining, the hard-working dwarves soon piled up mountains of gold and gems.

Finally, the dwarves also discovered the largest and most beautiful gem in the world in the earth's core. Thor named the gem [Arken Gem] and embedded the Arken Gem in his throne as a symbol of royal power.

The dwarf king Thor at that time was very fond of this Arken gem.

It just so happened that Smaug, the only dragon in Middle-earth, also liked treasures. On this day, Smaug came to the Lonely Mountain and breathed out fire, burning the second home of the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, and also destroying the surrounding human towns.

once.

Disaster befell the dwarves again. This time the dwarves were still unable to resist and left their homes again. There was no way to the east, so Thor could only lead the dwarves to move west.

No, when we passed our previous home of Moria as we headed west, the Balrog had disappeared. As soon as the dwarves gathered together, they wanted to continue living in their hometown.

However, Moria happened to be occupied by the newly moved orc Azog at this time.

The leader of the dwarves at the time, Thorin's grandfather Thor, could not bear this tone. He led the dwarves to start a war with the orcs, which took over the previous Moria War.

Grandpa is dead, dad is lost...

Thorin's tragic life.

This is a cycle.

…

Then again, the Lonely Mountain is still occupied by the evil dragon Smaug. How to defeat the evil dragon Smaug is the key to the dwarves reoccupying the Lonely Mountain.

Gandalf's idea for the dwarves was to let Thorin secretly retrieve the Arken Stone (a sacred object of the dwarves) from the Lonely Mountain.

With the Arken Stone, as a dwarf royal, Thorin can command the other six dwarves from all over Middle-earth.

There are seven groups of dwarves in Middle-earth, plus the dwarves of Durin. If Thorin takes back the gem and uses the power of the seven dwarves, he can theoretically defeat the evil dragon Smaug.

Of course, this is a dream that Gandalf weaves for the dwarves.

Before the dream can come true, there are still many difficulties: For example, now that Gushan has been sealed, how to enter Gushan is a problem.

Also, the evil dragon's nose is very sensitive and can smell the odor of the dwarves. Therefore, it is also important to find a suitable person to enter the Lonely Mountain to help the dwarves find (steal) the Arken Stone.

The most important thing is that when the Lonely Mountain was destroyed, the Arken Stone was submerged in a vast ocean of gold and other gems. How to find the needle in the haystack to find the Arken Stone among the treasures was the biggest problem. Let alone Smaug.

Guard beside the treasure.

…

Even if these problems are solved and the dwarves' dream comes true, they are not actually the biggest winners. They will still encounter greater crises.

Don’t forget, Gandalf came to Middle-earth with a mission from Vera this time. The mission is: to protect the peace of Middle-earth.

As for why we need to defend peace?

Because the distant Vera sensed that in the Middle-earth continent not far from the Lonely Mountain, the demon king Sauron living in Modo had begun to revive.

When Sauron accumulates enough strength, the first step must be to occupy the Lonely Mountain. If Sauron occupies the Lonely Mountain, subdues the dragon Smaug, and then uses the Lonely Mountain as a transit point, then Sauron's army can burn the flames of war to

Any corner of Middle-earth.

This is what Vera doesn't want to see.

However, unfortunately, Orcs are also spying on the important place of Lonely Mountain.

Azog, the half-orc living in Moria, has also recovered in recent years, and he is also preparing to occupy the Lonely Mountain. As for the reason, it is the same as Modo, in order to provoke war and rule Middle-earth.

If the dwarves succeed in taking back the Lonely Mountain, they will inevitably confront these two forces.

So despite Gandalf's appearance of being an honest man, in fact he is also a scheming boy. He wants to use the power of the seven dwarves to resist Modo and Orcs.

And Thorin, a tragic and honest man, was unknowingly used as a spearman by Gandalf.
