In the fourth month of the recovery of Riverdale, a strange procession came along the road leading to Riverdale. At the head was a gray-robed old man with a cane, followed by thirteen dwarves.

"Here we are. Looking at the city tower in the distance, the gray-robed old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said. "Thorin, if you want to go back to the Lonely Mountain and rebuild the dwarven kingdom, rein in your temper. Although the people around him said that the King of the River Valley was very noble, he re-sealed the Lonely Mountain after killing Smaug. At the same time, he declared that he would wait for the true owner of the lonely mountain, and would not take anything that did not belong to him before that. But you must not be as stingy as your ancestors, and you must be paid as you deserve. Otherwise, a reputation for ingratitude is enough to ruin your country—"

"Got it, Gandalf. The tall dwarf of 1.5 meters in the lead interrupted the old man's chatter. "You've said all these things all the way, and I'm sure I'll be rewarded with enough wealth. They have the ability to kill a dragon in an instant, and I'm not stupid enough to kill myself. The power that can kill the dragon in an instant can also easily break through the lonely mountain, and I am willing to pay for the country. ”

"That's good. Gandalf nodded and walked through the city gates, where he was drawn to the bustling scenery of the city.

"When Riverdale was at its most prosperous, it wasn't half as good as it is now, and I'm becoming more and more interested in the current King of Riverdale. ”

Arriving at the entrance of the palace, Gandalf and the dwarves were surprised to find that it was only a very simple two-story building. In their impression, a rich national palace like Xianghe Valley should be magnificent, not as good as the schools they had passed before.

After informing the guards at the gate, the guards ran directly through the door to inform King Ryan of the River Valley.

During this time, with the help of multiple world advisors, Ryan came up with a whole set of plans for Bard to deal with these, and he only needed to sign the important words, and the rest of the time Ryan used to learn the knowledge about the elves that he had obtained before, even with the help of the rose crystal as an external thinking loop, Ryan still felt that it was extremely difficult to learn, after all, these are the knowledge accumulated by the elves for tens of thousands of years.

Just as he was immersed in his research, the guard at the door suddenly knocked on the door. Upon opening the door, Ryan learns that Gandalf and the dwarven team are now waiting at the door.

"Sit down and try our juices and snacks. In the conference room, Ryan and Rose Crystal brought juice and a few plates of snacks and handed them to the dwarf and Gandalf sitting on the couch. Several of the dwarves seemed to be interested in the sofa, and sat on the sofa and twisted it, and tapped their fingers curiously. It wasn't until the dwarf in the lead coughed that they fell silent.

"I am Thorin Oak Shield, King of Irub, and I hope to travel to the Lonely Mountain now to rebuild my kingdom. The leading dwarf simply stated his intentions, which was very much in line with the dwarves' upright character. "Of course, I will give you half of the wealth in the treasury. As a thank you for killing Smaug and reclaiming the Lonely Mountain. ”

"Why are you so generous?" Ryan was already ready to face an unreasonable dwarven king, of course, this could also be because Thorin Oak Shield had not seen the gold and silver sea in the lonely mountain now, so he was still sober for the time being.

"Of course, I'll send you there myself. Ryan nodded, and said to them as the rose crystal climbed over his shoulder, "Alright, now let's go." ”

"You are truly a king of integrity. Gandalf said as he got up. Escorted by a small group of cavalry, they left the city and headed for the entrance to the Lonely Mountain.

"What's going on?" "Near the entrance to the Lonely Mountain, Thorin was surprised to find a large group of people busy there, and there were even many elves he didn't like.

"Isn't this the last dragon to be defeated, and we don't have many of us who can handle dragons, so we can only use the materials on it to hire elves from the dark forest to help. Ryan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I can use magic to ensure that the dragon's corpse does not decay, so you can handle it carefully to minimize the damage." ”

"When I get the Akon Gem back, will I allow my people to buy the materials? We'll pay the bill with the weapons and armor we've crafted. Thorin pleaded as he looked at the dragon's body peeking out of the obscured canvas.

"When the time comes, this will have to be discussed carefully. Ryan led them to the gates of the Lonely Mountain, which had been blocked by the boulders that Ryan had magically moved, and now under the command of his wand, the stones the size of carriages flew up, and then were tossed aside by the power of magic. The dwarves swallowed quietly as they heard the sound of stones crashing against the ground.

"Alright, you can go in. Just call me when you're done. With that, Ryan sat leaning against a large rock and watched the dwarves enter through the tunnel in the mountain. Gandalf did not follow in, but walked over to Ryan and sat down with his wand, and then asked curiously, "Your Highness, I am curious how you have mastered the power of magic?" ”

"Just call me Ryan. Ryan felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to be called an honorific title by this tens of thousands of years old Maia. "I'm a traveler from another world, so naturally I know magic. ”

"From another world?" Gandalf opened his eyes in shock as he looked at Ryan, who felt as if there was an immortal flame beating in his eyes at this time.

"Rest assured, I'm not a predator. "The way I get the benefits is to promote the development of that world, so that I can get the benefits of the worlds for a long time, and I would never do such a thing as killing chickens and eggs." You can see everything I do in the valley. As for why I was willing to let those dwarves return to the country, they were the best miners, and just as I could get the technology of the Lord of the Rings from the elves, I was confident that there would be a steady stream of goods from them for things like Mithril Gems that I needed. ”

"I believe in you, and I welcome you on behalf of Middle-earth. Na Ying. At this time, the fire in Gandalf's eyes dissipated, and it was likely that he had communicated with a certain Vera just now. Ryan, on the other hand, has passed the audit of the gods of this world, and will be able to do business here freely in the future.

After that, the two began to exchange their knowledge, which was different from what they had imagined. Gandalf is happy to share his magic and combat skills. According to him, the righteous side must help each other. In this way, we can survive and defeat the dark Ones.

In the face of Gandalf's generosity, Ryan is also embarrassed to hide his secrets. However, due to Gandalf's knowledge as a Maiya, it didn't help him much, and in the end he only learned how to make the Madonna of Roses and several internal techniques.

Because neither of them was an ordinary person, it only took six or seven hours to exchange all the knowledge they wanted to exchange. It was only at this time that Thorin Oak Shield, who was still shivering in a cold sweat, came out of the lonely mountain with his subordinates. Each of them pulled a large cart piled with all sorts of gold and silver treasures.

"Sorry, we're late. When I entered the vault, I was fascinated by the gold, and I managed to break free from it. Thorin Oak Shield was very direct about what had just happened.

"And how did you break free?" asked Gandalf with interest.

"I stood in the vault for a long time, and then I saw through the vision that the king of the valley waved his hand and easily pierced the wall of the lonely mountain, pinned me to the ground, and beat me violently. Then I came to my senses all of a sudden. With that, Thorin glanced at Ryan.

"Yes, the visions you see should be real. If you break your word, I will. The magically protected walls of the Lonely Mountain will not save you. After saying that, Ryan raised his hand and an electromagnetic cannon, and an orange-red light directly pierced the thick city wall. Several of the dwarves suddenly felt that they had indeed escaped death.

"Either way, it's good that you come to your senses, my friend. Gandalf said, looking at Thorin.
