Gandalf cleared his throat, "Princess Arwen, things are not as simple as you think. ”

"Oh?" Arvin looked at Gandalf curiously.

Gandalf took a few puffs of charr tobacco, slowly exhaled a few beautiful large smoke rings, and then said slowly: "The scales of the demon dragon Smaug are part of the reason, and the more important reason is that Smaug is a fire-breathing dragon, and the flames cannot hurt Smaug, and even in the fire and magma, he can recover quickly." ”

"Hmm!" Arvin exclaimed in amazement: "I see! In this way, it is true that the three Elven Rings cannot deal with Smaug at the same time, at least, Gandalf, the Fire Ring Naya in your hand, cannot be used. ”

Gandalf smiled, "Actually, not only my Fire Ring Naya can't use it, but your grandmother's Water Ring doesn't have much effect. ”

Arwin blinked and said, "Isn't Smaug a fire dragon?" ”

Gandalf replied, "That's right, his fire is the fire of dragon's breath, with a strong magical effect, and your grandmother's water ring releases a cold magic attack, even if you add your grandmother's magic strength, it will be melted by the dragon's breath fire." ”

Princess Arwen blinked, "So, only my father's Ring of the Wind Veya has an effect on Smaug?" ”

Gandalf nodded and said, "Yes, but it will also reduce the effect by half." That's why, despite the powerful Ring, we can't compete with Smaug. ”

Arwin asked, "So, if the countries of the All-China and Earth-Earth Alliance are united, they will not be able to defeat Smaug?" ”

Gandalf laughed, "Princess Arwen, you must know that the alliance of Middle-earth is actually very loose, and people will only truly unite when their basic survival is affected, such as dealing with Morgoth and the Demon Lord Sauron. But for Smaug...... How to put it, Smaug is a monster with no ambitions. ”

"No ambitions?" Arwen blinked in confusion.

Gandalf shrugged, "Yes, no ambition. Morgoth's ambition is to destroy the Middle-earth created by the main god and make this world a complete hotbed of evil, and the Demon Lord Sauron also adheres to this goal, and even does more than Morgoth. ”

"As for Smaug...... He was indeed a monster, and in Morgoth's time, he was Morgoth's favorite monster, and he created great feats for Morgoth, until he encountered the hard nail intestine of Rivendell, and Smaug tasted defeat for the first time. Later, Morgoth was exiled by the Lord God, and Smaug had no master, so he had little interest in destroying the world. His greatest pleasure was to find a treasure trove and to keep it on top of the pile of gold and silver treasures. ”

“…… Sounds scary, but also a little cute. Princess Arwin said.

Gandalf laughed and said, "You're still the first person to say that Smaug is cute, no, Princess Arvin, Smaug isn't cute at all, he just has no ambitions." ”

Arwin asked, "Then since the Demon Lord Sauron has obtained a part of Morgoth's soul, why hasn't Smaug been loyal to the Demon Lord Sauron?" ”

Gandalf laughed, "Smaug is a very proud dragon, he only obeys one master in this life, and that is Morgoth, even if the Demon Lord Sauron is very similar to Morgoth in some way, but after all, he is not. In the Great War of the Second Age, Smaug also came out to cause a scourge, but halfway through the battle, the advantage of the demon lord Sauron was already obvious at that time, Smaug was a little proud, when he passed through the town of Long Lake, he was hit by a black arrow of a human dragon slayer, although his scales protected him, but the scales also fell off because of this, which is also Smaug's only weakness, however, this weakness is too hidden, plus Smaug's speed is too fast, so he will be killed by him without waiting for the enemy to make a move. The town of Long Lake also paid a very heavy price for wounding Smaug, and after that battle, Smaug became lazy, and did not participate in the rest of the battle, but did not know where to hide. ”

"When the Demon Lord Sauron was slain, most of the monsters were annihilated, but Smaug was not among them. Later, in the Third Age, he suddenly broke into the palace of the Lonely Mountain King, drove all the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, and occupied it until now. ”

Gandalf continued, "You see, if he was a monster with the same ambition as Sauron, then he would have been plotting how to exterminate the Alliance, and if he wanted to destroy the Alliance, the Alliance would have cooperated with the highest goal of killing him. However, he has no ambitions, just a simple saboteur, and whoever is targeted by him can only consider himself unlucky. The relationship between the countries of the alliance is not good, not because everyone is not united enough, but when it comes to interests and responsibilities, it is difficult for everyone to reach an agreement. For example, if you want to crusade against Smaug, which country will be the vanguard and rush to the forefront? Which country provides financial and material resources? ”

Yawen thought for a moment, "Naturally, it should be to let the strongest country rush to the front. ”

Gandalf laughed, "However, the strongest country has not been attacked by Smaug!" If you rush to the front, you will naturally suffer heavy casualties! Would the strongest country be willing? ”

Arwen said, "Then let other countries rush to the front." ”

Gandalf laughed: "Even the most powerful countries don't want to rush to the front, so why should other countries do it?" ”

"Then let other countries give more benefits to the most powerful countries, and even give the spoils of war to the powerful countries." ”

Gandalf smiled: "However, other countries also helped, and finally defeated Smaug, and they didn't get a penny?" Moreover, the powerful countries have become more powerful because of this dragon slaying operation, which is not a greater threat to the surrounding countries that are not strong? ”

Arwen's mouth opened wide in surprise, "This...... The world is so complicated. ”

Gandalf said word by word: "It's the complexity of people's hearts. ”

Arwen sighed, "I don't want to bear the thought of the situation I'm going to face in the future. ”

Queen Galadriel smiled lightly, "There is a good side to this world, but you need to observe it with your heart - okay, Mithrandi, the matter here is settled, we should go back, if you don't mind, let me teleport back, after all, I want Yawen to see more of the power of elven magic." ”

Gandalf smiled and said, "Of course, as you wish, my lady. ”
