legend begins with lord of the rings

"Hulonglong~"

In front of the secret passage in Gushan, Thorin pushed open the secret passage that had been sealed for a long time. After many years of wish came true, Thorin stood at the door of the secret passage, his body trembling slightly.

"Thorin, are you okay?" Balin walked over and asked softly.

"It's okay, let's go in." Thorin woke up from his excitement and led everyone into the secret passage.

This secret passage was originally designed specifically for dwarves, with a height of only about 1.5 meters. Abel and Heili had to bend down to enter.

The lighting in the passage is very poor, and because the air has not circulated for a long time, it exudes an old and rotten smell.

Thorin led everyone along the passage and arrived at the hall of Erebor.

"Do you still remember, this room shining with golden light..." Thorin touched the weathered stone wall of the hall and said to Balin.

"Of course, it seems like it happened yesterday." Bahrain said sadly with tears in his eyes.

Even Fili and the others, who had never lived in Erebor, looked at the hall in silence at this time.

This can be said to be the inheritance place of the dwarves. For the dwarves, this place can give them a sense of blood intimacy.

Abel was also observing the Eribor Hall at this time. The exquisiteness here was no worse than the buildings in the Woodland Kingdom.

There are more than a dozen tall stone pillars standing in the hall, and there are large hollow designs on the stone pillars. Those grooves should have been inlaid with gold and precious stones.

"What is that?" Bilbo asked, pointing to the stone platform at the top of the hall.

In the direction of the hobbit's finger, there was a tall stone chair with dwarf writing carved on it.

"That is the dwarf throne, and the text on it reads: This is the seventh kingdom of the dwarves... May the Heart of the Mountain unite the dwarves to defend their homeland..." Balin interpreted the text to the Hobbit.

"Then...what is that??" Bilbo looked at the tall chair in front of him and pointed to a groove on the back of the chair that was larger than his fist.

"The Arken Stone~" Balin said, looking at the place where the Arken Stone was once embedded.

"Arkenstone? What is that?" Bilbo continued to ask, he was full of curiosity about everything here.

When Balin was still about to explain to the Hobbit, Thorin interrupted him and said: "Mr. Snitch, that is the purpose of your visit this time..."

We need you to find it from the treasure trove below...

Also, you have to be careful, there is a sleeping dragon Smaug down there, don't wake it up."

"Dragon?" Bilbo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, the dragon Smaug. But I believe you can do it..." Balin patted the hobbit on the shoulder and comforted him.

Then, Balin took the hobbits to the entrance of the treasure and warned: "Remember, if you really encounter a dragon down there... don't wake it up..."

"I remember." Bilbo nodded and said uncertainly: "I still don't know what the Arken Stone looks like."

"That is the most beautiful gem in the world. Everything in the world will lose its luster in front of it. As long as you see it, you will definitely recognize it." Bahrain said seriously.

Under Balin's expectant eyes, the hobbits walked step by step towards the underground treasure house.

The further inside, the darker the light in the passage became. Fear appeared in Bilbo's heart, and he turned his head to look towards the entrance.

The dwarves had all left at this time, and only Abel and Heili were standing at the entrance.

"Be safe, Bilbo. It doesn't matter if you can't quit," Abel said to the hobbit.

"I will, thank you Abel." Bilbo showed a smile, clenched his fists, turned around and continued walking into the treasure house.

Abel watched the hobbit after him until the other person's figure completely disappeared, then turned and walked back to the hall.

Thorin sat on the dwarf throne in the hall, while the other dwarves were curiously watching in the hall.

This relaxed gesture was as if the dwarves had defeated Smaug and retaken the Lonely Mountain.

"Listen, everyone, we need to prepare in advance to deal with the possible appearance of Smaug. In case it really wakes up later, and we have nothing to do with it." Abel reminded the dwarves that the danger has not passed yet.

"Don't worry, Abel. I trust Bilbo, he won't wake up the dragon." Fili said with a smile.

"What if?" Abel asked.

This question froze the smiles on the faces of all the dwarves present. They also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Thorin..." Balin looked worriedly at Thorin on the throne.

"I know, I'm thinking of a way~" Thorin's face darkened, he lowered his head and murmured to himself: "I know... Hobbits can always mess things up..."

The other dwarves also looked at Thorin at this time, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Bahrain, take people to plan our retreat...

Fili, Kili, come with me~" Thorin thought for a while and made a decision in his mind.

After hearing Thorin's arrangement, the dwarves took action. Fili and Kili also followed Thorin and walked deeper into the hall.

"What should we do?" Heili asked as he watched the team split into several groups.

"Follow Thorin..." Abel chased in Thorin's direction with his black power.

…

Here in Changhu Town, after a day of cleaning up, the residents are now carrying large and small bags to salute and gathered at the port.

"Dad, it's time for us to leave..." Bayin reminded Bud who was in a daze in the room.

"You take your sister and sister to the port first, I will be right away." Bud said to his son.

Bard has a hunch in his heart that Smaug is likely to visit Lake Town again. Everything here will also be reduced to ruins.

As an old resident who has lived in Changhu Town for decades, Bud is very reluctant to leave here.

After taking one last look at his house, he went to the balcony, pushed open the clothes drying rack, and pulled out a two-meter-long black stick from above his head.

There is an arrow on one end of the stick, which is still sharp after years of wind and rain.

This is the dragon-slaying weapon passed down by Badzu - the black arrow.

Bud pulled off a piece of curtain, wrapped the black arrow and fixed it on his back. Then, he went downstairs and rushed towards the port.

When he arrived at the port, the densely packed residents were pushing each other.

The chaotic and noisy scene made it impossible for the newly formed escort team to deal with them.

"What's going on?" Bud found the guard captain and asked.

"There are too many people, and the residents have brought a lot of useless things. The boat can't hold it at all," the guard captain said helplessly.

Bud looked around and saw that the residents of Changhu Town were organized into families. Many people brought pots, bowls, ladles, basins, and their own pigs, cattle, and sheep.

Some people even carried their furniture to the port, which looked like a great migration.

There were many elderly people, children and women in need of care in the crowd, and the scene had become a mess.

"Quiet, everyone listen to me~" Bud stood on a box and shouted to the crowd.

When they discovered that the new mayor had arrived, the crowd became quiet and looked at Bud eagerly.

"There are only more than 200 boats here, and they can't hold so many things at once." Bud said loudly: "But don't worry, let the elderly, children and women get on the boat first..."
