Chapter 24: The River Valley (Part 2)

The dwarves were extremely nervous as the graceful elves drove their horses around, and their formations became dense, their weapons unanimous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"They're coming! Defend and defend! ”

Groyin and Ouyin shouted, and the gray-haired old Bahrain and the bald Groyin kept shouting: "Give them something awesome!" Be on your guard! ”

The dwarves have a grudge against the elves, and they have had a grudge since Elwe, the suzerain-leader of the Telleri tribe, was killed by the dwarves a long time ago!

Although the dwarven kings of Turin were respected by the whole continent, including the elves, starting with Thorin's great-great-great-great

Therefore, the dwarves had to be on guard against these elves and kill the orcs after killing them!

Their vigilance was ignored by the elves, who simply surrounded them and made no further moves!

Gandalf stepped out of the dwarven camp and smiled sincerely at Elon, who had turned over and dismounted: "Elon, long time no see! ”

Elrond, who has the blood of the Human, Elven and Maian races, chuckled lightly, and a smile like a warm breeze bloomed softly: "Yes, Mithlanda (Note 1) has been seen for a long time! Recently, I don't know why we have to clean up the orcs from the south recently, and they wouldn't normally invade our borders like this! ”

Elon looked at the dwarves as if he had just seen them, and said, "Maybe it's just to chase something or someone?" ”

Hearing this, the dwarves unconsciously felt that they were a little unjustified, and it was their arrival that attracted the orcs to invade the elves' borders.

But the dwarves would never admit that they were at fault, and no one asked them to help kill the orcs!

Elrond, on the other hand, took one look at Thorin Oak Shield, and especially at the armguard he wore on his left hand, and said to him: "Hello, grandson of Thor II, son of Thorne II, Thorin II! ”

Thorin is proud of his identity, but feels inferior to the situation in which the dwarves of Turin have to redevelop in the Blue Mountains, and his heart is actually an extremely sensitive girl's heart.

He was a hard-working and hard-working man for his own responsibilities, and he was very sensitive to the slightest contempt and arrogance in anyone's attitude, even if it was only what he thought he had.

He resented the elves for turning their backs when they needed help, but it wasn't the elves of this race, this was the territory of the half-elf Elon King, and there was no direct grudge between them.

However, the elven-hating Thorin disdains to seek help from his self-confessed enemy elves, and is therefore dissatisfied with Gandalf's arrangement.

But when he really accepted Elrond's help, and Elon greeted him very seriously, the dwarven conceit and stubbornness were once again manifested.

Thorin Oak Shield replied to Elon with contempt, "Have we met?" I don't remember knowing you! ”

The complacency that Lord Elon needed to know him made Wang Yonghao feel amused, and secretly said that this Turin Dwarven Leader Thorin Oakshield was really an excellent character.

Thorin's character is described by Tolkien as complex and diverse, but it is so real, as if it were a neighbor or classmate of yours, a person you know in real life.

Thorin's words were extremely rude, but as Elrond, who was born in 532 A.D. and had lived for at least two epochs, he knew what it was like to be a dwarf.

With Elon's cultivation he would never care about the attitude of a dwarf, and he said with a graceful bow: "You have the demeanor of your grandfather, I met with Thor II, when he ruled the kingdom under the mountain!" ”

This is really decent, I understand how happy Thor II is, what kind of person he is, and naturally I also understand what kind of person Thorin Oak Shield should be, Elon is both in line with the facts and sets off the identity of Thorin II.

And such words to Thorin Oak Shield's ears can only make him associate himself with the glory of his childhood and his father's ancestors.

Let Thorin Oak Shield think that if the outcome of this trip is good, it will restore its kingdom under the mountain, and let him enjoy the same glory as his great-grandfather and his father's generation.

Therefore, Elon's attitude made him feel that he was still the prince of the kingdom under the mountain back then, and he would also be the future king of the lonely mountain Ilubo!

Therefore, Thorin Oak Shield thought about the glory of his ancestors, and thought of his deceased grandfather, and the whole person became a little lighter.

Thorin Oak Shield's lifespan of nearly two hundred years is still a little too short, especially since he was driven out of the Lonely Mountain at a young age, and he has been fighting hard to turn himself from a dwarven royal family into a phoenix man.

He couldn't understand who the great Elon was, and he couldn't understand how great this half-elf could easily cede in the face of the supreme power of Middle-earth!

Thorin looked haughty and disdainful, and said to Elon, "That's not a coincidence, I didn't hear my grandfather mention you!" ”

This kind of rhetoric made Gandalf angry, and although it did not shake his plan to help Thorin Oakshield reclaim the family's treasure land, the old territory of Lonely Mountain, it also made him feel embarrassed by Thorin Oakshield's loneliness.

As soon as these words came out, all the elves changed their expressions, in their opinion, Elon had never been so despised by others, even Sauron had barely escaped a glimmer of life under Lord Elond's hands.

However, the elves' agitation was stopped by Lord Elrond, who said in Sindarin's language, "Light the fire, serve the wine, and we must entertain our guests!" ”

However, the generosity and tolerance of the elves are clearly not understood by the dwarves.

"What is he talking about!"

As Groin's brother and Thorin Oakshield's cousin, Oyin is no longer a war-leading man with two pigtails to breathe, and he has always thought of others as the worst of human nature.

What's more, in this situation, the elf speaks a language that he doesn't understand, and he doesn't blame himself for being shallow, he only thinks that the other party is saying something insulting to him.

Groyin is also such a person, carrying the silver [iron axe] that Wang Yonghao tailor-made for him, squeezed over from behind the dwarf and asked Gandalf: "Is he saying something insulting to me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the dwarves were excited, and they were clamoring for some incomprehensible slang together!

Gandalf hastened to stop this bad sign, he really didn't want to let these dwarves mess around anymore!

All the dwarves are already full of hostility, and the slightest mistake may be about to use force!

Gandalf hastened to explain, "Of course not, Lord Groin! He's talking about giving you food! ”

As these words came out, the hostility of the lovers was barely suppressed, but it was still distrustful, and a feeling of distrust spread among the dwarves!

Thorin Oakshield was even more distrustful, he didn't trust Gandalf now, especially after he misunderstood that Gandalf had deliberately lured him to Elon, and that he thought Gandalf had deliberately leaked his itinerary to the orcs so that he could be rescued by Lord Elond!

This very undesirable mood was somewhat relieved by the dwarves who had not yet eaten their second breakfast!
