Chapter 50: Smaug
Chapter 50: Smaug
The mayor of the town, who received a satisfactory answer, was so excited that his face turned red, and he was even more enthusiastic and responsive to Thorin and his party. What Xiao Yechen ordered, it didn't take long for his men to be ready.
Nodding and saying goodbye to the Bud family, under the gaze of the mayor of the town, the whole team drove the boat and slowly sailed to the other side of the long lake - Irub.
Coming to the Lonely Mountain, the gate of Irub, Thorin was confused, walked up and stroked the huge statue in front of the door, sighed for a long time, took out the map from his chest, and led everyone all over the mountain to find the entrance to Irubab.
The hidden portal was not hard to find, and within an hour the bearded Balin found its presence on the mountainside.
Since there was no delay along the way, it was after coming to the Lonely Mountain, and there were still two days before the day of Turin. However, just in case, Thorin decided to stay in the Lonely Mountain, observing anytime and anywhere, for fear of missing the opportunity.
At this moment, in the town of Long Lake on the other side of the lake, the wood elves and the orcs encountered, and a rather fierce battle unfolded, and in the end, the orcs were slaughtered, leaving only the elves to watch the lonely mountain from afar.
Time passed in waiting, and finally, the day of Turin arrived, and the moment that the dwarves had been waiting for was approaching.
In the evening, all of Thorin and his party gathered in front of the gate, dozens of pairs of eyes staring deeply at the gate, for fear of missing a single detail. Only Xiao Yechen was alone leisurely on the stone enjoying the sunset, without the slightest worry.
Xiao Yechen had long known that the last light of the so-called Turin Day was not the sunset, but the moonlight sprinkled on the gate at night. The moonlight shines on the real portal!
Sure enough, as in the original book, by the time the sun had set, Thorin and the others still hadn't found the keyhole to insert the key, and in frustration, the dwarves were ready to leave this sad place.
At this moment, Xiao Yechen spoke: "Don't go yet, wait for the moon to come out!" ”
Hearing this, Solin and his entourage stopped and looked at Xiao Yechen in confusion.
"Who told you that the last rays of the day of Turin are sunset? Why can't it be moonshine! "Okay, looking at this group of guys who seem to have lost half their lives, Xiao Yechen won't listen to them if he doesn't say anything dry.
Sure enough, Thorin's face changed slightly after hearing this, both a little excited and a little confused, "Mr. Xiao, this is ...... Are you sure? ”
"No, I'm not sure!" Xiao Yechen shook his head, he wouldn't talk nonsense, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find an explanation at that time.
"But you didn't mean ......"
"No, but, the moon is about to come out, do you have to give up after so much sweat? Can't wait for hours? If I'm right and you're gone, won't you die of regret! ”
Xiao Yechen's words were like a reassuring agent, making Solin gradually regain his composure, and continued to wait with the dwarf.
Finally, the moon rises and peeks out of the clouds. The moonlight poured down from the sky, and after passing through the stone gap at the top of the mountain, only a beam fell to the place where everyone was.
"Oh my God, look, there it is!"
Fili exclaimed, his face showing uncontrollable surprise, pointing to a crack in the stone to the right of the stone door and shouting.
The others immediately followed the direction of their fingers, and sure enough, they saw where the moonlight was pointing.
"Oh, that's great! Finally appeared, what Mr. Xiao said was indeed right, the last light fruit of the day of Turin was the moonlight! Hahaha, that's great! ”
"yes, that's great! Our efforts have finally been in vain!
“……”
The dwarves cheered, and Solin couldn't stop trembling with excitement, came to Xiao Yechen's side, bowed deeply, and said gratefully: "Mr. Xiao, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would really miss it!" You are the benefactor of my entire dwarven clan! ”
Xiao Yechen bowed slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say so many sensational words, let's hurry up and open the door, in case time passes, the door can't be opened, I'll see what you do!" ”
Hearing this, Thorin nodded fiercely, took out the key from his cuff, strode to the stone crack, inserted the key and turned it, and pushed the stone door hard, "Crunch-"
The door opened, and a stone passage appeared in front of everyone.
Not long after entering the gate, the group stopped, and Solin looked at Xiao Yechen with a solemn face, "Mr. Xiao, next, please leave it to you!" After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Xiao Yechen nodded, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best!" Once I'm inside, I'll try to get the Akon Gem without revealing myself, but I'm not 100% sure. ”
"So, if I haven't come out for 3 days after entering the dungeon, it means that I probably won't be able to come back! Then you can leave, and when you are sure, come back! ”
Hearing this, Suo Lin's heart was shocked, and he looked at Xiao Yechen tightly and said hurriedly: "No, Mr. Xiao! We won't leave you alone! ”
"Needless to say, if you want me to help you, just do what I say! You must know that Smaug is not a good man and a woman, if I really don't come out, then wait until you have offspring to make sure that the inheritance is not broken! ”
After that, Xiao Yechen didn't give Solin a chance to say more, turned around and entered the underground palace, and his figure disappeared around the corner.
Xiao ...... Xiao Xian is such a good person! Chili's eyes were red, and he wiped his eyes and said excitedly.
The other dwarves nodded, and for Xiao Yechen, they were grateful and respected from the bottom of their hearts.
……
Going all the way down the passage, it didn't take long for Xiao Yechen to come to an underground hall. Entering the palace gate, Xiao Yechen looked down, however, it was this look that completely shocked Xiao Yechen.
What did he see?
A huge palace, the size of several football fields. However, it is such a large palace, and it is full of treasures like a hill.
Vessels made of gold, precious stones, agate, and all kinds of precious metals were piled up in the hall like miscellaneous items. What kind of wealth is this to fill this temple!
Although Xiao Yechen had also seen such a magnificent scene when he was watching a movie, when he really entered this world, when endless wealth was piled up in front of him and at his fingertips, it really made Xiao Yechen lose his heart for a while.
After a long time, Xiao Yechen regained his senses, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared. With a long exhalation, Xiao Yechen shook his head, took out a golden ring from his chest pocket, and slowly put it on his finger.
The moment he put on his magic finger, his figure disappeared from the main hall, and at the same time, there was an occasional faint sound on the nearby road.
Take the maze step, with the help of telekinesis, try not to make any sound. Xiao Yechen circled around the entire hall, trying to find the Akon Gem and the Starlight Gem that Serrandui wanted at the edge.
However, the god of luck did not favor Xiao Yechen, and after carefully searching for a week with his amazing eyesight, he did not see what he was looking for.
Stopping, Xiao Yechen looked at the hill-like wealth piled up in the middle of the hall with a serious face, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes. He knew that Smaug must be inside.
