"Is the mission to clear the orcs to find Mikael's traces?" Mo Tie asked curiously.

"If you think that's interesting, so be it." Isolda smiled and said, "Won't you invite me in and sit?" I have something important to tell you. ”

"Uh...... Please come in. Mo Tie stepped out of the way.

"What's important?"

Isolda sat in her chair and ignored Mo Tie's words, instead pulling out a piece of parchment from her bosom.

"Mr. Ain, please take a look at this, if you are interested, the price is negotiable."

Mo Tie took the piece of paper and looked at it twice, his head was big.

He couldn't read a very formal and well-worded business document.

"I can't read, you can tell me."

"Really? Maybe you're more familiar with elven writing, so I'll prepare a new elven contract tomorrow. Now, let me briefly introduce the contents of this paper. ”

In a nutshell, Isolda wants to hire Mo Tie as her personal guard to ensure her safety in her lifetime, and for elves, the lifespan of humans is very short, and presumably Mo Tie will not refuse.

Isolda, on the other hand, will help Mo Tie become the richest elf in the world. If you are not satisfied with this condition, you can re-mention it, and she can pay him whether it is the most precious treasure in the world or the most beautiful woman.

"I don't know if elves have the same special hobby of treasure and women as humans do, but trust me, whatever you want, I've got you covered."

Isolda said loudly.

Mo Tie looked at her with interest, feeling that this woman was really discerning, and she could even think of asking him to be her bodyguard.

"Your price is good, but I have more important things to do, and there is no way to waste time in this town."

Mo Tie still rejected her.

Isolda's eyes lit up and she said, "I'm afraid you're mistaken, my business isn't just in this town, half of the dwarven caravans in Middle-earth are funded by me, and I'm the only merchant who owns a hundred shops in Rohan and Gondor at the same time.

"I understand that you may be an elf who does not want to be restrained, and I can tell you that my business has gone as far as the Woodland Kingdom. So there's no way I'm going to tie you down to this town. ”

Mo Tie smiled, this woman really has a lot of energy, but unfortunately these are of little use to him.

"Maybe you don't think it's intuitive enough for me to say that, so I'll put it another way, you gave Forging Mo a small piece of Mithril, maybe it's your most expensive treasure. But I have a piece of Mithril armor, made of pure Mithril, and you can imagine its value, and this, in my collection, is only an inconspicuous piece. ”

Isolda said with a hint of meaning.

Mo Tie was a little surprised: "Mithril armor, isn't that the masterpiece of the Moriath dwarves?" ”

"Hehe, many people think that only Moriath has Mithril output, but in fact, it is far away in the Lonely Mountain in the East, where the mines have also mined Mithril, and my treasure is an inner armor that has been handed down in the Lonely Mountain."

Isolda explained with a smile.

Mo Tie recalled that in the movie, after Smaug's death, Thorin casually picked up a Mithril inner armor and put it on for Bilbo, which shows that Lonely Mountain should also have Mithril Mine.

"Lady Isolda, you are already much richer than most, and you should have more options when it comes to guarding, why me?"

Mo Tie asked puzzledly, this woman is so rich, what kind of ranger can't find it.

Isolda recalled, "I sent to see the underground lair of the orcs you were sweeping, and they said it was burned to the ground, and I thought you had set it on fire. However, there is no one way to achieve that level. ”

"So what?"

"You know magic, don't you?"

Although it was a question, Isolda said with an affirmative face.

"Hahaha, your imagination is so rich." Mo Tie couldn't help but laugh.

He had discussed this with Gandalf, and was overwhelmed by Gandalf's explanation.

Gandalf said that there is no magic in this world, and there is only the unknown.

All the forces of this world belong to the Supreme God, who created all the races, giving each race different characteristics. As a result, the different talents between the races have created the name of magic, which is really just an asymmetry of information.

For humans, elf immortality is magic, but that's just an inherent feature of elves, just like why humans can live decades longer than cats.

What you don't know is what you think is magic.

When Mo Tie asked how to learn Mo Tie's magic, Gandalf said with a surprised face, no matter how long-lived a cat is, can it live longer than a human? This is the pedigree and cannot be changed.

Unwilling, Mo Tie continued to ask about Smaug and the Flame Demon.

Gandalf explained that Smaug was born a fiery dragon, so that was his instinct, and he breathed fire from birth.

Just like elves are born to be more sensitive and light than other races, Gandalf hesitated when he said this, he looked at Mo Tie, who was infinitely powerful in front of him, and didn't know how to continue.

The Fire Demon is an alchemical experiment of a god, transformed from a fallen soul, and does not belong to the category of talent.

"Just as a dwarf makes an iron sword, do dwarves have to make themselves as sharp as an iron sword? Sharpness is a characteristic of a sword. ”

Gandalf explained the Firedemon in one sentence.

Mo Tie almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, according to Gandalf, if you can't do it, your father can't do it, and you can't complain about others.

He also counted on learning magic from Gandalf, who was one of only five wizards in Middle-earth.

It's all out of the way.

However, combined with Gandalf's explanation, Mo Tie finally understood how powerful his system was, and the creature editor was simply a bug-like existence.

At the same time, he also learned some of the characteristics of the elves from Gandalf, according to Gandalf, the elves are full of spirituality, can see ghosts, and perceive far more than humans; Infinite lifespan, inviolability from all diseases, and extraordinary healing ability; Excellent stamina and quick reactions.

Mo Tie's reaction speed is much faster than that of elves, not to mention his stamina, and his perception is no worse than that of elves, and he has not been injured, so many elves' talents have not yet been felt. Gandalf explained it to Gandalf before he understood the power of the elves.

However, this brings up a problem, my own creature editor only cracked a simple "elf body type part", why didn't it crack these small parts?

Mo Tie didn't understand this question, and Xiao Tie didn't know either.

Back in front of him, Mo Tie laughed out loud at Isolda's affirmative question.

Having money isn't everything.

"No, I won't." Mo Tie smiled and said, "Magic is the power of the gods. ”

Isolda looked incredulous: "Mr. Ain, it's just the two of us here......"

Mo Tie didn't want to dwell on it anymore, and said: "Lady Isolda, let me tell you this, everything in your eyes is meaningless to me, the only thing I value is time, I have a lot of things to do, and time is far from enough." Do you think you are the god of time? ”

After saying this, he stood up, "It's late, I'm going to rest." If you don't mind, please help me close the door from the outside. ”

Isolda was very disappointed, she had never met someone as resolute as Mo Tie, or rather, no one who demanded as much as Mo Tie.

She had to admit that there were still things in the world that money couldn't buy.

"By the way, Ms. Elaine, there are many things in the world that money can't buy, like this one."

Mo Tie took out Mikael's suicide note to Isolda and handed it to her.

Of course, it was the one with two sheets, after all, the third piece of paper that he showed Lawrence earlier was a forgery.

Isolda was stunned when she heard the title "Elaine", she took the letter paper in Mo Tie's hand and walked out of the room in shock.

Mo Tie snuffed out the oil lamp and went to bed.

The next morning, when he went downstairs, he saw Lawrence and Isolda inside the counter, two people studying the ledger.

"Morning, Mr. Ain, breakfast is ready, do I need to help you get it to your room?" Lawrence greeted warmly.

Isolda was smiling as well.

"No need, let's eat here."

After breakfast, Mo Tie packed up his things and left the Four Shields Hotel in the eyes of the two of them.

The forge is a pure dwarven blacksmith, perfectly crafting a weapon that combines a sword and a bow.

"This arrow has a little bit of Mithril left in it, and it's hard enough to withstand the maximum pull of your bow."

Forging Mo took out a silver-white arrow and handed it to Mo Tie along with the weapon.

"I believe that a good elf only needs an arrow."

"Haha, you're right."

Mo Tie said with a smile, for him, even if he faced Smaug, it only took an arrow.

After saying goodbye to Mo Mo and buying some ordinary arrows from the weapon shop in the town, Mo Tie left here and continued his journey.

Three months later, after a long journey, Mo Tie finally came to the vicinity of Rivendell, or rather, Rivendell on the map.

The entrance to this place is very secret, and ordinary people cannot know it.

Legend has it that Rivendell is hidden in treacherous valleys, forests, swamps, and streams. There is a moss-covered white gravel path that leads into the valley of Rivendell, and once inside, you will taste the scent of the trees and the warm lights of the valley.

Mo Tie stood in front of a dense forest with two silver knives and Gandalf's gray backpack on his back.

According to the map, he had reached this forest in the Misty Mountains, and then he walked in and saw the gravel path? But the dwarves in the movie are Rivendell who entered through a tunnel.

Which method should he choose?
