Chapter 125: Man and God
Throughout Middle-earth, the legend of Smaug has always been taught. Dragons descend from the sky to destroy the once-prosperous kingdom of the Dwarves. And take the accumulation of thousands of years of dwarf for himself. Since then, Middle-earth has had a large number of dwarven blacksmiths. Even the dwarven prince of the Lonely Mountain can only survive by striking iron.
Even though there were still some gathered dwarven tribes, the loss of the Arkon Diamond made it impossible for anyone to command all the dwarves. The glory of this race was wiped out overnight.
"How do you know Smaug isn't dead?"
In the council hall, the meeting continued. Lin Xuan's statement was questioned by everyone.
"I'm a wizard and I have my own methods."
"I believe what Lin said. It's all about how we take advantage of that. It's a good idea to lose both orcs and Smaug, but how? ”
"It's a simple method, but it takes a lot of preparation and cooperation to achieve results."
"Let's talk about it."
"It's very simple, the Orc Empire is extremely barren, and the countless treasures and minerals of the Lonely Mountain are definitely the existence that makes them salivate. All they had to do was convince them that Smaug was dead, and they would not hesitate to march towards the Lonely Mountain. When the time comes, everything will be pushed by inertia. Smaug wouldn't let go of the orcs peeking into his treasure no matter what, and the orcs wouldn't sit idly by. ”
"But that's easy to say. But once this kind of news leaks out, I'm afraid that the first to find the lonely mountain will not be the orcs, but those adventurers in Middle-earth. The wandering dwarves will also flock to it, and then everything will be thrown into chaos. ”
"That's true, so we need to control the details. The adventurer can have, and he will get his own wealth. But it must be under our control. And once the news spreads, the wandering dwarves will definitely take action. This is destined to be a super plan, and we need allies. Especially a cooperative dwarven tribe. ”
"I can understand what you're talking about, and while it sounds a bit whimsical, it's still feasible. But I still don't understand why we're going to go to such great lengths to get involved in this. Where are our interests? ”
"Do you know how much wealth Lonely Mountain has?"
"Uh."
"That's enough to buy three Gondor. So, you don't think we get any benefit? ”
"What about allies? We need a lot of cooperation to convince the orcs that Smaug doesn't exist anymore. They have a bad brain, but they are definitely not fools, on the contrary, the leader of this generation, Asog, is definitely a hero. ”
"We've always had Thorin in our hands. The whereabouts of the oak shield. Maybe we can try to work with him. One of the ministers proposed.
"A prince in exile, with no bloodline and no identity. What qualifications do you have to talk to us about cooperation? I think the hill dwarven tribe is more suitable. ”
"Hill dwarves are just a branch of the royal family. Thorin is the rightful heir to the throne. ”
"Thorin has a blacksmith shop, and the Hill Dwarves have a regiment of heavy infantry. Which one do you think has the capital to cooperate. ”
"The last question is, just how powerful is Smaug. You know, it single-handedly destroyed the entire Dwarven Empire. How much damage can an orc do to it? So even if the two sides really go to war, I'm afraid we won't be so easy to pick up the bargain. ”
"Smaug is very old, otherwise why would you think it has been silent for so many years? It just sleeps to prolong its life as much as possible. We don't need orcs to kill Smaug, we just need to drain its power. ”
"And then? Even a tired Smaug is not something we can handle. ”
"I don't need you, of course I'll deal with Smaug." Lin Xuan said this lightly, and all the people in the entire meeting were silent.
The princes of the Dwarves of Thorin, who were driven out of the Lonely Mountain decades ago by the dragon Smaug. From then on, Thorin could only wander in Middle-earth, making a living by striking iron. But in Sorin's heart, he never gave up the idea of retaking his country. Until one day, Gandalf came to his blacksmith's shop, and the obsession in Thorin's heart could no longer be suppressed. He wants to return to the Lonely Mountain, kill Smaug, take back his country, and reclaim his throne. Thorin gathered a dozen of his old subordinates who were loyal to him, and prepared to return to the Lonely Mountain to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
"Lin, I'm curious. Who are you and what do you want? Stop talking about those status glory and things like that. It's a breeze to get those things in your power. I sense what you're planning, so I don't feel the need to know what it is? After the meeting, De Nehao had a separate meeting with Lin Xuan. Regent, De Nehao keenly noticed Lin Xuan's abnormality.
"War is coming. I just hope humanity is ready. ”
"Even if the pale orcs are strong, it will not be possible to fight here for a while. And even if they did, Gondor's Iron Riders would crush them in the first place. "Denechio is quite confident in his country's military might.
"I'm not talking about orcs."
"What's that? Sauron's return? I received a message about it. But the situation is nowhere near as serious as you say. He won't be able to get over anytime soon. ”
"Do you really think Sauron is the biggest threat? Do you know what Sauron really is? ”
"I've consulted some books. Sauron is said to be a Mayan, and a Mayan who lived from the First Age to the present day. Has powerful mana. ”
"So the question is, what about the other Maia? Why didn't they stop Soron. What about the twelve main gods? What are they doing? ”
"Well, two epochs have passed. Perhaps they have fallen. And it is estimated that the main god cannot interfere with human things. ”
"That's just the story. You must know that Sauron's problems were caused by them, but in the end all the consequences fell on our lives in Middle-earth. All Maia has fallen unconsciously, and only Maia, who has malicious intentions towards humans, is always alive? Even a few times it was banished or even fatally hit, but it was always able to survive and then wait for an opportunity to make a comeback? ”
"What do you want to say?" De Nehao's tone began to become serious, and he sensed that Lin Xuan seemed to be hinting at something dangerous.
"That's all I have to say. As the king of Gondor, you have a lot of resources, and perhaps you can try to look up the entire history of Sauron. Or take a closer look at all the history of Maia, the Lord God. ”
De Nehao glanced at Lin Xuan deeply, then turned around and left.
