"Since you're really willing to keep your promises, I don't need that much wealth either. Ryan looked at the dozen or so carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and said, "The wealth on the carts is more than enough to make up for what Smaug stole from Riverdale back then, and as long as you are willing to sign a long-term trade agreement with us, then you only need to give me some more Mithril as payment." By the way, there's also the gemstone necklace that Thranduy ordered from you. Since you are all my friends, I hope to resolve the conflict between you. ”

"You are very generous, Your Highness. Thorin bowed and said earnestly. "But I'll never be able to forgive them for their death-defying behavior. ”

"Thranduil was indeed a man of death, but he is the king of the elves, not the king of your dwarves. The elves had died in many previous wars, and they could not afford to die. Plus you broke your friendship by withholding the gem first, which is why they didn't send troops. Ryan explained that these were all things he had heard from Legolas in his previous small talk.

"If you say that, I think it is really possible that when my ancestor had a dragon attack, he was really blindfolded by gold and gemstones. But I think of the dead people who still can't forgive them. Thorin said, "But now that I've figured it out, I can reconcile with them for the sake of the development of the Lonely Mountain in the future." But that doesn't mean I've forgiven them. ”

"Well, as long as you're not like you're seeing the enemy as you are now. After all, there are enemies far more than us around. In this case, internal discord is fatal. Ryan said helplessly, he also knew that it was impossible for so many people to meet and laugh at each other. Just mediate them and don't look at each other like enemies.

"Yes, it's good to reconcile. Gandalf nodded in satisfaction. Soon, Thorin and the others took out fifty or sixty kilograms of Mithril ingots and handed them to Ryan, which was equivalent to more than 80% of their inventory. At the same time, he also used a box to hand over the necklace that the elf had ordered that year.

Once everything was settled, Thorin returned to the Lonely Mountain with his men. Now he is busy writing letters to recall his former exiled people. Ryan and the cavalry returned to Riverdale with the treasure.

After returning to the palace, Ryan called Legolas directly. Legolas had been having a good time lately, confronting Smaug in the first battle of the Dark Jungle, and later examining it was discovered that he had fired one of the three cannonballs that had struck the dragon's heart. According to the local rules, he could add the title of Dragon Slayer in front of his title, which made him feel very honored.

Not to mention that during this period of time, he has facilitated a lot of trade with elves in Riverdale City, and has helped his compatriots a lot. At the same time, it was far away from his father's sight, which made his relationship with Toriel warm up rapidly. All of this put together, and he was in a very good mood. When he appeared in front of Ryan, he could be seen with an excited expression on his face.

When he learned that Ryan was looking for him and wanted him to go back to the Dark Forest, his mood immediately dropped. I don't know what Thranduy should have thought when he found out about this. Fortunately, he felt better again after knowing that it was a relic for his mother.

Legolas remembered very little of his mother, but that didn't stop him from missing his mother. Especially when he didn't have a good relationship with his father. Ryan also wanted Legolas to improve the father-son relationship a little when he returned the relics.

After Legolas set off, Ryan began to count the treasures he had just gotten today. After using Eagle Eye to observe, he was surprised to find that there was something in the treasure that had extremely powerful magical radiation.

"It is. Ryan pulled away a plain gold ring after removing the gold coin on the upper layer, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

Place the gold ring on the stone slab and point it with your wand and read, "Flames." "Under the flames, words like fire appeared inside and outside the ring.

"The One Ring! How could this thing be here?" Ryan was confused, as Bilbo had gotten it from Gollum while passing through the Misty Mountains. Now that the dwarves haven't even asked for Bilbo, where did this ring come from?

Early the next morning, Ryan took the Rose Crystal to the dwarves under the pretext of negotiating the terms of trade. For safety reasons, the Lord of the Rings was carried by the Rose Crystal. Because he found that the ring only had a fatal attraction to flesh creatures in this world, Ryan was very little affected when he got the ring, and the rose crystal, which was a puppet, was almost unaffected by the ring.

After signing the terms of trade, Ryan took out the ring and asked, seeing that the ring Qili recognized as he had obtained it in the Misty Mountains. He accidentally fell into a cave while being chased by a goblin, and later hacked a small monster to death and got the ring. He thought the ring might have fallen off when he went to the car to load the treasure.

Ryan knew that this should be the soul of Sauron in the ring, and felt that dwarves were more difficult to corrupt, so he chose to leave the dwarves. However, the dwarves were unknowingly interested in this simple ring made of a little gold, and Chili directly said that this ring was given to Ryan, and he now had a lot of treasures, and that little bit of gold was not rare.

After leaving the Lonely Mountain, Ryan found Gandalf and told him that he had received the One Ring. He wanted to give the Ring to Gandalf, but Gandalf jumped up in horror and refused.

"Don't tempt me, I don't want to be the Dark Lord alive. The way the Lord of the Rings penetrated my heart was through compassion, compassion for the weak, and the desire to gain the power to improve the world. Don't tempt me! I don't dare to take it, even if it's just to keep it, not to use it. The temptation to hold on to it will disintegrate my power. I still need strength, and there are many difficulties and dangers in front of me. ”

"What about this thing, should we throw it away?" said Ryan, holding up the ring with some distress. The little puppet next to him also looked at the ring with a disgusted expression. Probably because Ryan is a foreigner, this ring cannot accurately know Ryan's heart, so the temptation condition given is eternal life for all human beings. But this temptation is of no value to Ryan, who now has a solid grasp of the channel to eternal life. If a normal person can live forever directly, who would want to be a dog to get eternal life.

"You can resist the corruption of the Ring?" Gandalf looked at Ryan in amazement. "Then can I ask you to go to Mount Doom to destroy this ring? Now that the darkness on the side of Modo and the Black Gate has not fully recovered, with your ability, it should be easy to sneak in. ”

"As far as I know, didn't the Veras claim that Sauron was a human problem, and would I be dissatisfied with me throwing the ring into Mount Doom like this? Ryan asked, frowning.

"You are now the king of the river valley, and you have come to this world with the permission of the Villas. So you will naturally be seen as a member of the human race in this world. The reason for this request is that during the First and Second Ages, the Veras interfered in too much of Middle-earth's affairs, which backfired. And what you have done since you came here is very much in line with their hopes, and they are happy to see Sauron destroy the darkness of Middle-earth, because your victory over Sauron will also lead the inhabitants of Middle-earth to the light against evil. As he said this, Gandalf's eyes twinkled, as if illuminated by a fire from within. This means that when he said this, he did represent the will of the Villas.

"And if you do, the Villas will give you a corresponding gift. Gandalf's last words made Ryan resolve. He immediately stood up and declared that he would go to Mount Doom to wipe out Sauron once and for all.

Anyway, if this kind of thing is too dangerous, you can still come back, but once you succeed, you may be able to get a gift at the level of the Creation God, how can Ryan think he can miss such a good opportunity?
