The dwarves were caught, and it didn't seem to matter at all, and the wood elves themselves could live their lives as they should. Either accompany their king out on a safari, or sing with wine in his arms.

Tonight, in particular, Thranduil invited his subjects to drink in his palace, as usual, as if every day were a day to celebrate.

Accompanied by the captain of the guard, Thranduil, who had just opened his bedroom, was slightly drunk, and immediately sobered up, because there was a stranger sitting in his bedroom, a young man wearing a hood.

"Who?"

Unexpectedly, outsiders infiltrated the king's bedroom, and the captain of the guard, Tariel, who felt that he had failed in his duties, drew his sword and questioned the other party while protecting Thrandil.

"Thranduil, your wine here is good, it's rare to be so strong, is it from the Grand Winery of Dowinian, or from the nearby human workshop?"

The king's collection was naturally not an ordinary thing for ordinary banquets, ignoring the captain of the guard, Li Mu lazily lay on the wooden bench and gulped down the mellow wine.

Stopping Tarrel, who wanted to make a move, Thranduil didn't have the slightest anger, changed his coldness in front of the dwarves, and said to the seemingly defenseless Li Mu with a smile: "You are the dragonborn, you really have a bit of courage, and you are worthy of being Gandalf's student." The wine in my bedroom is not very good, and the good wine is naturally in the cellar, Tarrell, go and get two bottles of good wine, and I will entertain your guests. ”

"Huh? You, King—"

It was unclear whether Li Mu was friend or foe, but Tariel did not dare to let the king and Li Mu alone, so he hesitated to accept the king's orders.

"Huh?"

If it weren't for Tariel's skills, the captain of the guard would not have been held by a wood elf from a humble background. Seeing that his subordinates were hesitant to give his orders, Thranduil did not have the same kind attitude towards Li Mu, and waved his hand majestically, glaring at Tariel angrily.

Although Thranduil grew up in a time of war, even if Li Muzhen was a legendary hero, Thranduil also had his own dignity.

To be honest, the detention of Thorin and his party was just a temporary initiative of Thrandil, as long as Thorlinken bowed his head and had a good attitude, Thranduil was not an unreasonable person.

It's just that the dwarf is the one with that stinky temper, and if you want to bow your head to the arrogant Thorin, it is estimated that Thranduil will not want to achieve his wish for a hundred years.

Fortunately, Gandalf greeted him in advance and dealt with Li Mu for the night, and Bill Bosorin and others were released the next day.

In the impression of the dwarves, the king of the Dark Jungle Wood Elves, Thranduil, was a greedy and ruthless fellow, how could he be so kind to let them out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone walked into the forest hall full of guards, they saw Li Mu smiling next to Thrandil, and the atmosphere between the two was harmonious like two brothers.

Speaking of greed and ruthlessness, Thorin is not much worse. In Li Mu's eyes, although Thranduil is not perfect, loves money, likes gems, is occasionally a little irritable, and is willing to drink two more glasses when he has nothing to do, he is also kind.

He lent a helping hand when he knew that people were in trouble, he skillfully admonished Bard when he was about to storm the dwarven fortress, and when the orc army attacked, he calmly, calmly, and calmly commanded the army to meet the battle, and showed a true kingly demeanor.

Compared to the Elon King of the Misty Mountains, Thranduil is more human-like and kind-hearted, not as sensible and elegant as the Elrond King's god-like nature.

With Li Mu's mediation, although Solin and the other dwarves are still reluctant to give a good face, at least they will not be too resistant. The group hastily settled breakfast at Thrandil, and left the Dark Forest on a large ship full of empty barrels at the behest of the kingdom's guard, Tariel.

Relying on the Wood Elf guides, the dwarves finally bid farewell to their days of house arrest and entered the town of Long Lake downstream from the dark and dense river before the sun was about to set.

Rushing rivers flow down the mountains, and in conjunction with the dense forests, the terrain that may have been a deep valley has been transformed into a lake. To the south of the lake, the confluence of the two rivers descends to a waterfall with a thunderous force to the unknown side.

Although there are several buildings on the shore, they are not built on the shore, but are located in the middle of the lake. Protected by a boulder, a calm and wave-free area is formed in the middle of the lake. A wooden bridge leads to the middle of the lake, and a bustling town is built on wooden piles.

It is inhabited by humans, who have dared to live here at the risk of being attacked by dragons from afar. These people still make a living by going down the rivers in the south and by trading by cart across the waterfalls.

However, in ancient times, when the northern riverdale towns were still thriving, they lived a richer and more comfortable life.

There were countless ships on the water, some loaded with gold, others heavily armed warriors. Many of the battles and heroic deeds of those days are now all legends. When the drought hits and the lake recedes, people can still see the dilapidated remnants of the old town on the shore.

When the big boat that Li Mu and the others were riding appeared, many small boats were rowed out of the town, and people greeted Li Mu and the others one after another. Then, throwing the ropes and paddling hard, they pulled the big boat off the current and docked in the small harbor of the town of Long Lake.

It was docked not far from the bridge, and soon the people of the South would come and retrieve the barrels for them to be sent back to the Wood Elf's homeland. In the meantime, the barrels will remain there, allowing the boaters and elves to go to the town to drink and have fun.

Entering a hotel in Changhu Town, Bilbo and the others impatiently ordered a table of big fish and meat, and everyone sang and laughed while eating meat, and finally swept away the unpleasantness of the wood elves before.

Since coming to Middle-earth, the companions around him are either dwarves or elves, and the encounters are either orcs or big spiders, and today he finally came to the place where humans live, and Li Mu is also in a rare mood, laughing with the dwarves.

But while everyone was enjoying themselves, Thorin suddenly stood up and shouted in the inn, "I am Thorin, son of Thor, son of Thor, king of the mountain!" I am back! ”

The sudden explosive news made Changhu Town busy for a while, and the legend of many years ago did not expect to be really fulfilled, and the older generation even cried excitedly.

As for Mayor Mare, he's very good at seeing the wind and rudder, and knows that there's no other way to do it now than to meet everyone's expectations and pretend to be who Thorin claims to be, at least for now. So he gave him his seat and asked Thorin's two nephews, Fili and Chili, to sit next to them, and even Bilbo earned a seat at the main table.

How can it be so easy to get back what you once lost based on just one legend? That night, Li Mu, who couldn't sleep, was wandering outside the lord's room when he was stopped by a young man dressed as a guard, who only heard him say, "Fight for Skyrim, for Nord, for the true god Talos." ”
