Edge's whisper echoed like thunder in Thorin's ears.The word "Lonely Mountain" lingered in Thorin's mind like a demon's whisper.For decades, the Lonely Mountain has been an unspeakable sore spot in the hearts of the dwarves, let alone the dwarven heir to the throne, Thorin.You must know that Thorin is a self-proclaimed "king of the mountain".But if there is no lonely mountain, which mountain is the king under it?
Thorin stood up excitedly (because he was a dwarf, he wasn't very tall when he stood up), and said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean?"
”Aitch smiled, "Don't you understand what I mean?"
The lifespan of a dragon is very long.Even if he hadn't seen up for decades, Smaug was certainly alive and well.Are you sure you won't wake up Smaug when you steal the Heart of the Mountains?
If Smaug acts, are you sure you can withstand Smaug's retaliation?
And after that?
As long as Smaug remains, the Lonely Mountain will not return to the dwarves.When you have the Heart of the Mountains, where are you going to be king?
”The questions hit Thorin's heart, and Thorin didn't know what to say for a while.At this time, Gandalf saw the opportunity to interject: "Your Majesty, are you going to help Thorin regain control of the Lonely Mountain?"
”Aitch smiled and continued to look at the two of them.Gandalf reacted quickly and continued, "What do we need to do to get your help?
”Aitch likes to talk to such clever people: "Very well, magicians pay attention to equivalent exchange."
If you want my help, you have to be prepared and pay the corresponding price.I just read Baggins' contract, and you've hired Baggins as a thief on the team, so what are you prepared to pay for me?
”Thorin felt that another person was going to share his gold coins, and he was very unhappy, but he had no choice but to ask angrily, "So how far can you go?"
How can you help me. ”Aitch patiently explained, "To put it mildly, I know more about dragons than any of you.If you want to deal with a dragon, you can't do without my help.In fact, it wasn't hard for me to get rid of Smaug.It's up to you to pay the price. ”Thorin pondered hard.Until he can truly see the gold of the Lonely Mountain again, Thorin will be able to exercise some restraint.That's why he was able to easily sign a contract with Bilbo for one-fourteenth of the money and promise to share the gold with the inhabitants of Riverdale.Now Thorin was still able to consider the pros and cons diligently, and said with difficulty: "If you can destroy Smaug and help me retake the Lonely Mountain, I am willing to give you half of the gold of the Lonely Mountain." ”Aitch looked at Thorin with a gritted tooth look, and laughed: "Since I have the ability to destroy Smaug, I am sure to occupy the Lonely Mountain.If I want, all the wealth of Lonely Mountain can be obtained.Why do you do all the work and take only half of the gold?
”Thorin and Gandalf were silent, feeling that what had been said made sense, and they didn't know how to answer.Aiqi looked at the two of them and stopped talking, smiled lightly, and continued: "Don't say half of the gold, I own more than a hundred times more property than Gushan.This gold is not enough for me to make a shot.But in fact, there is still something in Lonely Mountain that can catch my attention. ”Thorin and Gandalf suddenly found hope again and immediately asked.Aitch didn't quet their appetite either, explaining, "That's Mithril."
As a mage, except for a few Egyptian spells, he basically doesn't use gold directly.Instead, Mithril is very active in magic.So, if you can give me Mithril from the treasure of the Lonely Mountain, I can help you. ”Thorin and Gandalf made a secret calculation in their hearts.Although Mithril is precious, the total amount is relatively small, and the combined value is really not more than half of the gold.The two made eye contact, and Thorin stepped forward in agreement.Aitch continued: "I'm not going to do a one-off deal this time.In the future, we will establish a good trade system with the dwarves.I hope to be able to get Mithril through a steady stream of transactions.Of course, I'll pay the price here.Equivalent exchange, I will not break the rules. ”Gandalf agrees, and Thorin is reluctantly convinced.Aitch said to Gandalf, "I'm not just here to connect with the dwarves.Trade relations with elves are also to be established.I'm going to pay a visit to Lord Elrond next, and I hope that Your Excellency the Grey Wizard can help with the match. ”Aitch didn't want to even get the elves in, so it would be better to let Gandalf step in and be a matchmaker.Gandalf readily agreed, and Thorin was very unhappy, as he was very indignant at the elve's refusal to save him, and expressed his distrust of the elves (what does it have to do with Elrond, it was Thranduil's pot).Gandalf, troubled by the dwarf's stubbornness, looked at Edge, and wanted Aitch to help him speak.Aitch didn't care: "Since the dwarves don't trust the elves, we can temporarily separate halfway."
I'll visit the elves first, and then I'll go to you.I can quickly keep up with the magic of space. ”Then Aitch pointed to Harry and Hermione and said, "When we separated, you took my two apprentices with you.They've been studying with me for a few months as well, so it's good to go out and do an 'internship' as appropriate.And even though they are young, they all have geniuses in some way.I will also give you some help on the way. ”Thorin and Gandalf looked at each other again, and it felt like it worked.Aitch sent his apprentices to accompany them, indicating that he was very optimistic about them, so that the probability of Aitch keeping his promise was greater.Harry and Hermione, who were both at the age of bear children, were overjoyed to hear that there was an adventure."
Don't rejoice too soon, you're not strong enough, and I won't be separated from you for too long," Aitch instructed.And before parting, special training will be carried out in the next few days, and don't lose your life halfway.The two of you should carry a broomstick with you (the magic of the two of them is not enough to use space magic right now), and if you encounter danger, fly away quickly, don't hesitate, leave the dwarves to die, your own safety comes first!
”The two bear children nodded their heads in understanding, and then continued to be excited about the adventure.Thorin, King of the Dwarves: I have an MMP saying that I don't know if to say or not......
