Chapter 11: Gandalf the Headhunter! Boss Dwarf King Thorin!
The last visitor, half an hour later, knocked on the door of Wu Feng's bag bottom hole.
"Thorin, you're late!"
Gandalf, who opened the door, grinned.
Only then did Wu Feng notice that the dwarf who came in, dressed in a black robe, had a calm gaze, a haughty expression, and a calm temperament with nobility, which was the so-called royal atmosphere?
The 12 dwarves who had arrived before bowed their heads to Thorin and greeted them loudly.
It can be seen that Thorin's status among these subjects is still very lofty and respected.
His most prominent feature is that in addition to a sword necessary for daily travel, he holds a sword with a forked handle in his left hand... Oak?
Oak in the left hand and a sword in the right hand, what kind of equipment is this?
"Let me introduce you."
Gandalf smiled and said, "This is Thorin. Oak Shield! The leader of the Dwarven Turin tribe, the grandson of King Thor of Irub in the Lonely Mountain, and the son of Thorne, wields a beast-biting sword forged by elves. He calls himself the King of the Mountain and your employer on this adventure! Thorin, that's what I said..."
"Snitch! Bilbo! โ
Thorin looked arrogant and condescending, overlooking Wu Feng, looking up and down as if to see him through, staring at him for a long time, he shook his head coldly and said to Gandalf: "Gandalf, you know that I have always respected you very much, and I am very grateful for everything you have done to my Turin dwarves to restore the country. But I have to say bluntly, this Bilbo doesn't look like a snitch at all! โ
"I'm not!"
Wu Feng shrugged his shoulders and decided to put the ugly words in front of him: "In fact, I have never stolen a single thing. I've never been a thief! I don't know why you're here? โ
Thirteen dwarves, looking at each other.
Didn't steal anything?
Don't know why you came?
All eyes fell on Gandalf.
Gandalf's eyes were calm, and he looked at Thorin and Wu Feng: "Okay, let's sit down, I'll explain this matter clearly." After you have listened to it, you will decide whether you want to sign this contract or not. โ
Gandalf sat everyone down and unfolded a map.
This map, which seems to be a huge map, is a fragment left behind: "This is the map left by your father, and I will give it to you, Thorin." This map will guide us to reclaim the treasure land that has thrived for generations of Turin's dwarves, the Lonely Mountain Irub Kingdom! โ
His finger pointed to the northernmost and most central mountain range.
It was marked "Lonely Mountain".
Above the [Lonely Mountain], there is a giant dragon.
Wu Feng knew that it was a powerful god-level creature, the evil dragon Smaug.
"In addition, the prophesied [Tired Bird Returns] has appeared!" Among the 12 dwarves, the dwarf Balin, who has the highest IQ and the oldest, and acts as a think tank and strategist, said with excitement: "Someone has seen the raven, the symbol of the Turin dwarves, who have returned to the Lonely Mountain." This is the prophesied sign that our Turin dwarves are about to retake the kingdom. โ
"All the signs of prophecy have appeared."
Thorin said calmly, "That's why, we're going to gather an adventure team and head to the Lonely Mountain. But I still don't understand why you insist that we waste our precious time coming to the hobbit's house and making a special trip to recruit him? Gandalf? โ
Gandalf waved his hand: "I understand that you are eager to reclaim your homeland, but recruiting this Bilbo, as a snitch, is already an indispensable member of our squad." โ
"But he doesn't fight, he doesn't steal, and I don't think he has much adventure!"
Thorin was unceremonious, mean and critical of Wu Feng.
"That's right. But have you thought about it? โ
Gandalf said in a deep voice, "Do you know how much wealth your grandfather, during the reign of Thor, the kingdom of Illub amassed? Do you know that now that Smaug has been missing for 60 years, how many people covet the wealth of your ancestors? Do you think that with only your 13 dwarves, even if you recapture the Lonely Mountain, you will be able to hold it? โ
โยทยทยทโ
The 13 dwarves fell silent.
Gandalf said in a deep voice: "So, you must gather the 7 dwarf families, all the dwarves, and form a powerful force in order to keep your inheritance, as well as your ancestral treasure!" โ
"But if you want to gather the 7 dwarf families, you must get the [King's Stone]."
Thorin said helplessly: "The [King's Stone] is in the treasure of Smaug at this time, at its feet!" โ
"That's right!"
Gandalf said in a deep voice, "That's the crux of the matter. If you want to restore the country, you must gather the 7 Dwarf Families, and the 7 Dwarf Families only recognize the [King's Stone], and you must send a snitch in and get this gem under Smaug's men in order to succeed. โ
"But I can do this kind of thing myself!"
Thorin said proudly, "You don't have to pass a snitch! โ
"Smaug, having killed countless dwarves, is all too familiar with the breath of dwarves."
Gandalf shook his head and said, "I dare say, as long as you get close to the Lonely Mountain, 100 kilometers, Smaug will be able to smell the dwarves on you. It has destroyed the kingdom of your ancestors, Elope, and it hates the dwarves to the core. It's impossible for you not to alarm it, get the King's Stone, and gather the army of dwarves! โ
โยทยทยทโ
Wu Feng quickly understood the key to this quarrel.
To put it simply.
Thorin Oak Shield is an unlucky exiled dwarven prince whose ancestor Thor was so rich that the people and gods were angry, and at the same time aroused the jealousy of dragons, elves, and orcs, and finally brought disaster. The dragon Smaug first invaded the Lonely Mountain and drove the dwarves from their homes, and Thor was then attacked by an army of orcs and beheaded, leaving the Dwarves of Turin in blood.
If Thorin Oak Shield wants to restore the country, he must first have legitimacy, and he must get the King's Stone, which is almost equivalent to the jade seal of the country, so that the seven dwarf families can submit to him and have the control of the entire dwarf.
This thing is worth more than Sol's treasure.
Unfortunately, along with Thor's treasure, it was asleep by the dragon Smaug at this time.
His mission is to be recommended by Gandalf to go under the ass of the dragon Smaug and steal this King's Stone!
Wu Feng: "ยทยทยทยท"
I suddenly felt that this mission was a pit!
Do you want to be so exciting?
When I watched the movie, I thought it was hilarious and wonderful for Bilbo to sneak into the treasure and steal the gem under Smaug's nose, but when it was your turn...
I'll it!
Is this because I'm afraid I'll not die fast enough?
"Well, I'll admit you have a point!"
The stubborn Thorin was actually persuaded by Gandalf once, but then looked at Wu Feng suspiciously: "But, he? Can he? He didn't even steal anything! โ
