"Gandalf, have you really figured it out? It was a dragon that had lived for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, he didn't really kill the dwarves, otherwise, Thor and his descendants would not have been able to escape from the Lonely Mountain. ”

Elon said solemnly that he had an obligation to warn Gandalf of these obvious risks.

"I understand, Lord Elon. In fact, last year someone saw a dragon hovering over the lonely mountain, and Smaug never left it, but this trip was my lord's plan, and he said that Smaug would not be a problem. ”

Gandalf said mysteriously.

Elon was stunned, of course he knew who Gandalf's master was, it was the supreme god. But why is this an order? Many of the creatures of ancient times have died out, and even Smaug is the last dragon in the world, who can defeat Smaug?

"Lord Elon, I'm just as confused as you are. But now that we have an oracle, I assume that Smaug has left the Lonely Mountain or is sleeping, and God will guide us. ”

Gandalf said this like a magic stick, completely detached from his status as a wizard.

"Gandalf, in that case, I won't say more. Hope you remember your mission to guide humanity and fight against the darkness. Don't get involved in danger. ”

Elon said solemnly.

Gandalf knew that he had succeeded in convincing Elon, after all, who would be dissatisfied with moving out of the boss.

Out of the meeting room, Gandalf saw Mo Tie at a small concert in front of the waterfall and shouted from afar, "Mr. Ain." ”

Mo Tie put down the flute in his hand, smiled apologetically at the female elves playing the harp around him, and walked down the big stone of the concert.

"Gandalf, are you done talking?"

"Yes, Ain. My plan passed. Gandalf's old face was full of smiles.

"Very well, you can tell me the details." Mo Tie stuffed the flute into his waist, found a table and chair in the open air, and sat down to talk.

"Maybe you've heard of that place," Gandalf refilled his pipe, lit it with a wave of his fingers, and took a beautiful puff. ”

Mo Tie nodded: "I know that the territory of the king of the mountain is just an evil dragon entrenched there. ”

"That's right, our plan is to drive out Smaug and retake the Lonely Mountain."

Gandalf said as he observed Mo Tie's face. He was very relieved, Mo Tie's face was very calm, and he didn't feel scared at all, it seemed that the strongest force in the plan this time couldn't run away.

Mo Tie had known all this for a long time, but he was curious if the hobbits would appear in the plan, and asked, "Are you going to launch an army to attack Lonely Mountain?" ”

"The army? No, no, we only have a dozen dwarves, which is not an army at all. Gandalf smiled mysteriously, "The first step in the plan was just to steal a stone from Smaug's side. Moreover, it is doubtful whether Smaug is still in the Lonely Mountain. ”

Mo Tie smiled and said, "When I came from Ireid Mislin, I heard that Smaug's figure appeared in the sky above the Lonely Mountain. ”

Erid Misling is the Grey Mountains, far northeast like the Lonely Mountains.

Gandalf's face did not change: "You can think in the best direction, but you must prepare for the worst." Thanks for the message, Ain. ”

"No thanks. What are the stones you are talking about? ”

"That stone." Gandalf recalled the Heart of the Mountain and said with some emotion, "It is a symbol of the king of the mountain, and the dwarves of the lonely mountain must have it in order to inherit the throne." Of course, it's also very beautiful, and I think there are too few people in the world who can resist its charm. ”

Mo Tie asked noncommittally, "Is it useful?" Can people live longer? ”

Gandalf pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, the Durin family is already very long-lived, and I don't think it has anything to do with gems. ”

"Then why are there so many people snatching, isn't it just a useless stone?" Mo Tie said he didn't care.

Gandalf took a puff of smoke and said, "My friend, I would admire you even more if you could keep such a state of mind when you saw the Arken Diamond." ”

"Hehe, I'm a traveler, I don't even have a backpack. Why bring an inedible stone to add to the burden? ”

Gandalf sighed: "If everyone could recognize the essence like you, there wouldn't be so many disputes. ”

Mo Tie had seen the Akon Treasure Diamond in the movie and knew how beautiful that stone was. However, he really didn't have any idea about it, and he couldn't sell it for money, and only the dwarves trapped in the rocky mountains would take it as a treasure.

"Gandalf, what about the second part of the plan?" Mo Tie asked.

"That's a long-term plan, I need someone to guard the Lonely Mountain and manage that area properly, so that I can prevent the invasion of darkness for a long time." Gandalf said.

"Do you have the right person to run Gushan? Could it be a dwarf? Mo Tie remembered what Gandalf had said about his companions half a year ago, proving that he had planned to return the Lonely Mountain to the orthodox heirs of the Durin family from the beginning.

"One, not enough I haven't told him these things, I want you to join me, so that you can get acquainted with each other in advance. After all, you will be the most powerful backing in the plan to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Gandalf explained.

"Thorin, grandson of Thor, you may have heard of him, and I want him to join the project this time. If there's anyone more passionate about Lonely Mountain than I am, it's him. I once inquired that he had laid down the pride of the prince and became a qualified dwarven blacksmith. I think that after such a tempering, he has developed the qualities to be a king. ”

It turned out that Gandalf evaluated a king in this way, and Mo Tie could only sigh that the king of the Western world was really worthless.

Yes, the people of this world have never had the concept of a unified world, and they do not know what problems a larger, more complex kingdom will encounter. It is enough to govern a small place and have certain outstanding qualities.

"Yes, Gandalf. So what other members do we have? ”

Gandalf took two more puffs of his cigarette and pondered for a moment before he said, "I think we need a snitch, the kind that can steal the gem from Smaug." I know you're pretty good at stealth, Mr. Ain, but I'm talking about the real snitch. ”

Mo Tie laughed: "Oh, who are you talking about?" ”

Gandalf smacked his shoulder, "Uh, that's it." I don't know yet, but I'll know when I visit. I've worked with his ancestors, and I think he should have that ability. ”

So says Gandalf, a staunch believer in the theory of descent.
