22. Negotiate conditions

"Gandalf the Grey, and Thorin Oak Shield, welcome to you."

Wang Bo knows very well that the gap between himself and Iluvita is too big, for Iluvita, he is a little ant, after all, he can create a universe or something, Wang Bo does not have such strength.

Even if this universe is only as big as the solar system, Wang Bo does not have such strength.

Sometimes, creating is far more difficult than destroying.

Even if Illuvita doesn't care about his little ant, Wang Bo won't jump too much, what if Wang Bo jumps too hard and is killed by Illuvita.

Because of this, Wang Bo occupied the Lonely Mountain, and after subduing Smaug, he established contact with the dwarves and elves, on the one hand, Wang Bo hated killing, and on the other hand, he may not have low-key plans.

Wang Bo courted Sauron and Gandalf, and the two were not too arrogant, and respectfully greeted Wang Bo.

"Hail to you, King of the Lonely Mountain."

"Don't be so polite, whoever comes is a guest." Wang Bo smiled slightly, beckoned Gandalf and Thorin to take a seat, and said with a clear pretense of confusion: "I don't know how many people have come, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Thorin squinted, hesitated, and said, "King of the Lonely Mountain, a few decades ago, the Lonely Mountain was once our kingdom. ”

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, I know this very well, Gushan used to be your kingdom, but later, Smaug occupied this place and forced you dwarves to move. This is Smaug's territory. ”

"But not long ago, I came to the Lonely Mountain, and saw that the scenery here was good, so I surrendered Smaug and occupied the Lonely Mountain, so this place became my territory again, is there any problem?"

Thorin didn't know how to speak for a moment.

He really wanted to get back Gushan from Wang Bo's hands, but he knew very well that he didn't have such strength.

After all, the other party is a wizard who can even win against Smaug.

And he already knew from his companions that the King of the Lonely Mountain was not a tyrannical king, but a very merciful king, who hired his companions with wine and money.

Give dwarves rooms, food, and respect.

If he rashly fled to Du Fu and returned to the Lonely Mountain, it would definitely be a nameless teacher, and it is estimated that not many dwarves would respond to his call.

In desperation, Thorin could only turn his attention to Gandalf.

He hoped that this Maia could help him.

Gandalf noticed Thorin's attitude of asking for help, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and asked tentatively: "The Lonely Mountain used to be the kingdom of the dwarves of Turin, and all the wealth here is the wealth of the dwarves, and the evil dragon Smaug occupies this wealth, and now Your Majesty has defeated Smaug and occupied the Lonely Mountain, and the Lonely Mountain is naturally Your Majesty's territory, but I don't know if this can be compared to ill-gotten gains......"

"No problem." Wang Bo didn't wait for Gandalf to finish speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Since it is the wealth of the dwarves, I can naturally return it to the dwarves." ”

Gandalf saw that things were going so smoothly and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Thorin Oak Shield also breathed a sigh of relief, if he had this wealth, he could use it to rebuild a dwarven kingdom, and he didn't need to be attached to the lonely mountain.

After all, Middle-earth is still very large.

"But ......" At this moment, Wang Bo changed his words and said: "I did not snatch this wealth from the hands of the dwarves, but I got it from the hands of Smaug, and gave it to the dwarves for nothing, there should be no such good thing in the world." ”

Gandalf's face sank, Thorin thought for a few moments, his tone gradually turned cold, and he said, "Then I don't know how the King of the Lonely Mountain will return this wealth to us. ”

Wang Bo didn't mind Thorin's tone, and said slowly: "In this way, the dwarves are all skilled craftsmen, I admire your casting craftsmanship very much, and I have hired a lot of dwarves here to work for me, so if you can create five unique treasures for me, I will return you from the wealth, how about it?" ”

After a pause, Wang Bo said again: "Of course, the materials and costs, I will pay, you only need to pay your own craftsmanship, I don't know the Thorin Oak Shield, what do you think?" ”

Gandalf heard this condition, his eyes turned a few times, and he did not speak, he felt that this condition was reasonable, the king of the lonely mountain had shown his sincerity, but he did not know Thorin's thoughts.

After listening to Wang Bo's conditions, Solin slowly lowered his head, and finally said, "Okay, I promise you." But we have to sign a contract, and you can't go back. ”

"Of course." Wang Bo said briskly.

Gandalf said, "How about I being this witness?" ”

"No problem." Thorin said.

Wang Bo didn't have any opinions, although he was stronger than Gandalf, he still wanted to sell Gandalf a face, so he simply agreed.

So the two signed a contract in the presence of Gandalf.

After Thorin signed the contract, he asked with a sigh of relief, "What treasure do you want?" ”

Wang Bo said indifferently: "No matter what kind of treasure it is, as long as it is unparalleled in the world." ”

To be honest, Wang Bo really doesn't care what treasures this group of dwarves can create, even if it is a chicken rib, as long as it is unparalleled in the world, Wang Bo is willing to admit it and collect these treasures.

After all, there are too many heavens and worlds, and sometimes, chicken ribs may not be useless.

What's more, he believed that the dwarves would definitely go all out in order to get their treasures back, and they shouldn't be able to create any chicken treasures.

Thorin glanced at Wang Bo a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, but I want to gather all the dwarves who are scattered outside, and only when they work together can I create a treasure that is unique in the world." ”

"Yes." Wang Bo did not refuse. He didn't care at all about whether Thorin's recall of so many people would have an impact on his position.

In Wang Bo's opinion, the more dwarves in Lonely Mountain, the better. It is best if all the dwarves can work for themselves.

Thorin thought for a moment and said, "We need water, food, and a room. ”

"I can promise you." Wang Bo is very talkative, because these things are nothing to him, and if these things can make the dwarves work for themselves, then Wang Bo will make a lot of money.

Solin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Bo talking so well.

He unloaded the accessories from his waist and handed them to Wang Bo, saying, "This one is called a sword that I found from the cave of the troll, born in the First Age, it is a very powerful sword, and when no enemy is approaching, the sword will shine and remind its master. ”

"I want to dedicate it to you, King of the Lonely Mountain, as the first treasure like no other in the world."
