Chapter 269: Trading

At night, Thranduil had already combined the huge diamond given by Chu Ming with a large amount of Mithril to create a huge crown, and then put it on the door of his head, extremely golden and shining, bullish and coaxing, especially under the light of candlelight, it was no different from holding a sun on the door of his head, looking at Chu Ming was uncomfortable for a while, no way, Thranduil's crown style was too frustrating, frustrating and scary, no way, the diamond that Chu Ming gave was too big, The style of Thranduil's crown can only be made like a pumpkin in order to set off the huge diamond, the elven clan's medical skills are still very good, Legolas, who was shot through the thigh during the day, can already limp at this time, he is not disabled, otherwise, the proud elven prince will definitely collapse, and now Legolas is honestly following behind Thranduil, and then looking at his father's pumpkin head with great envy.

Because of Chu Ming, Thranduil didn't embarrass Thorin and them, who made Thorin and them all a group of poor ghosts, not to mention diamonds, even if there is no trace of gold, only a few copper plates, it is really shabby, Thranduil not only did not embarrass Thorin and them, but also made a grand welcome dinner for Thorin and them, and filled the table with elven delicacies, but unfortunately they are all vegetables, fruits or something, that is, mead can be accepted by dwarves, Watching Thranduil show off in front of him, Thorin really couldn't stand it, he wanted to rush up and punch Thranduil's nose, but he didn't have such courage, Thranduil was to humiliate the now down-and-out Thorin, and Thorin could only endure silently, and now Thorin can only wait for himself to get the treasure of the lonely mountain, and then let the dwarves rise up again, then he will let Thranduil kneel in front of him and shout himself 'king'.

"We'll leave the Dark Forest early tomorrow morning and head to Long Lake, Your Majesty Thranduil, I wonder if you can help us a little?" After Chu Ming ate a red fruit, he asked Thrandier, "Oh? Leaving tomorrow? I remember that our agreed time has not yet arrived, right? Thranduil said to Chu Ming, he didn't want Chu Ming to repay the debt, even if Chu Ming didn't learn mental power, Thranduil would never allow Chu Ming to run away in front of his eyes, no way, the huge diamond on the scepter he wanted to build was still in Chu Ming's hand.

"It's okay, I'll give you the diamond in my hand when I leave, I hope you can help us a little" Chu Ming said to Thrandil, "Oh, in this way, have you learned it in just half a day... That one? Thranduil asked curiously, Chu Ming nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, and Thranduil didn't mention this matter again.

"Okay, some of the inferior wine that our elves drink is a human named Bard who brought it to us, he is from Changhu Town, I can let him take you with you when he takes away the empty barrel, calculate the time, tomorrow is the time when he sends new wine, and take away the empty barrel" Thranduil said to Chu Ming, "Bard?" Sure enough, it appeared" Chu Ming muttered in his heart, and then nodded.

"Anyway, you go to Changhu Town, it shouldn't be for fun, if I remember well, Changhu Town seems to be only a short distance away from Gushan, the former capital of the dwarves" Thranduil stared at Chu Ming and asked, and bit the two words very hard, so angry that Thorin wanted Haibian Thrandil again, Thranduil also sensed the purpose of Chu Ming, Thorin and the others were definitely going to the Lonely Mountain, but although the treasure in the Lonely Mountain was tempting, but now the owner of the Lonely Mountain, Smaug, is not easy to mess with, It was upset that a single flame breath passed, and it could wipe out a team, once Thranduil led an army of elves to fight the idea of the Lonely Mountain, but there was no doubt that he failed, and was burned and disfigured by the flames of Smaug, and now he can only rely on his own mana to create illusions to maintain his appearance.

"You don't have to worry about this, if you think your strength is enough, you can go and recover the lonely mountain by yourself, I don't have any opinion" Chu Ming said to Thranduil, Thranduil's eyes were cold after hearing this, and then he didn't say anything, he could feel that Chu Ming was humiliating him, "Then I wish you all a good night, tomorrow morning, you go to the cellar and wait for Bud" Thranduil said to Chu Ming, Chu Ming didn't say a word, he directly took out the huge diamond from his arms and threw it to Thrandil, Thranduil was ecstatic and hurriedly left, he needed to build a new scepter for himself, Legolas also followed behind Thranduil with a greedy look and left.

"Mr. Chu Ming, you shouldn't divulge our secrets, Thranduil has long had an intention on the treasure of the Lonely Mountain" After Thranduil left, Thorin said to Chu Ming with a gloomy face, "Thorin, why do you think that Thranduil has not done anything to the treasure of the Lonely Mountain?" Believe me, he fought with Smaug, but he didn't win, the elves' greed for jewels is endless, and the treasure in the lonely mountain is no secret.

After Chu Ming finished speaking, Thorin thought about it, this is indeed the case, the treasure of the Lonely Mountain is there, but no one can take it away, thinking of this, Thorin is no longer entangled, "But, but, Mr. Chu Ming, did you just throw a huge diamond at Thranduil?" I saw it, it's such a big one, it's the size of a baby's fist, why do you have such a thing on you? Thorin turned to Chu Ming and asked, "Why can't I not have something like this on me?" What is so strange about me being a rich man in my country, and in the far East, where gold is everywhere and diamonds are buried in the ground? To put it bluntly, a diamond is just a piece of carbon" Chu Ming said that Sorin's question was not a question at all, and there was no need to answer.

"Uh...... The Far East is simply the best place for dwarves to live" Thorin suddenly said after listening to Chu Ming's words, Chu Ming hurriedly chose to shut up, no way, what if the dwarves built a giant ship after many years, and really went to find the eastern country full of gold that Chu Ming said? Maybe they'll find out that Middle-earth is actually round, and then the dwarves' worldview will be turned upside down.

After a dinner, the dwarves went to rest, Chu Ming knocked on Bilbo's door, Bilbo was stunned when he saw Chu Ming after opening the door, he couldn't think of why Chu Ming came to him, but Bilbo's action of always pinching his clothes pocket made Chu Ming's eyes squint again, "Can I discuss something with you?" Chu Ming said to Bilbo at this time, "Of course, Mr. Chu Ming, you come in first, it is very rude for you to stand outside the door" Bilbo said to Chu Ming, Chu Ming nodded, and entered Bilbo's room, and Bilbo also brought a plate of fruit for Chu Ming.

"Bilbo, tell me, what do you want" Chu Ming pinched a blueberry and asked Bilbo, "Me?" Mr. Chu Ming, why do you ask such a question? Bilbo asked curiously at Chu Ming, "Don't care why, just answer me" Chu Ming said to Bilbo, "This, what do I want, originally I just wanted to live peacefully in Charr, carefree, yearning for the outside world, but now I feel that the outside world is too dangerous, it is better to let me stay in Charr honestly, but I like Rivendell very much, the scenery there is too beautiful, and the elves there are also very kind, I want to live there, Until death, we hobbits are very bad at dismissing others anyway, and I don't have any friends in Charles that I can't let go of," Bilbo said to Chu Ming.

"Just want to go back to Rivendell? Don't really have any other desires? Chu Ming asked seriously at Bilbo, Chu Ming hoped that what he saw and heard along the way could change Bilbo's mind, "Well, this, I, I now hope to have Mr. Chu Ming's power, there is no other reason, just because I still want to go around and see, when I am tired of walking, I have seen enough, and I will return to Rivendell but I will be dead, I hope to get the power to protect myself in Middle-earth, instead of going out and walking a few steps casually like now, I will be chased by orcs like dogs" Bilbo said to Chu Ming.

Chu Ming finally smiled, and then took Bilbo's hand, after Bilbo's overwhelmed expression, Chu Ming began to use internal force to wash the meridians of Bilbo's body, Chu Ming is a person with hundreds of years of internal strength to wash the meridians for him, this is not a treatment that anyone can enjoy, "There is not much difference from the human meridians, then this will be easy to do" After Chu Ming finished speaking, he took out a copy of "Yijin Sutra", a copy of "Jiuyang Divine Skill", and a copy of "Luoying Divine Sword Palm" in his arms, It was quickly translated into English, anyway, because the great screenwriter Charles also spoke in English.

"These three books are the reason why I am strong, you can slowly get the same strength as me according to the cultivation written above, one of these three books is for you to lay the foundation, one is the internal strength of the rapid formation, and the other is the martial arts moves, all of which are suitable for you, I use these three books in exchange for the ring in your pocket, how about it?" Chu Ming threw the three cheats in front of Bilbo and said to Bilbo, who was stunned for a moment, and then pinched his clothes pocket fiercely.

"How do you know I have a ring in my pocket!" Bilbo looked at Chu Ming with a frightened face, and his intuition told Bilbo that the ring in his hand was very important, really very important.

"Bilbo, not only do I know that you have a ring in your pocket, I also know that this thing was in Gollum's hand before, and at the very beginning, the owner of this ring was called Sauron, that's right, it was the Sauron who almost destroyed Middle-earth, even if the purpose of my trip was to get it, but now that you got it, it doesn't matter, no matter what, I want this ring" Chu Ming very unceremoniously pushed the three cheats in front of Bilbo, and then stretched out his right hand to Bilbo, a right hand that could not be refused.

Bilbo was sweating profusely by Chu Ming, he understood that he gave Chu Ming a ring, and he could still get certain benefits, but if he didn't give Chu Ming this ring, then Chu Ming might not do something to kill people and cross the treasure, in the face of Chu Ming's words, Bilbo didn't have any resistance, he deserved to be killed, and no one would say that Chu Ming's was not.
