Chapter Twenty-Seven: Angry Departure (2-in-1)

Gandalf's arrival surprised the dwarves very much, but Lan Ze was very shocked, because his strength had been restored, and many things that had happened in Middle-earth, Lan Ze had already remembered that if he remembered correctly, Gandalf should not be here now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the normal plot, the current Gandalf should be trapped in the mountain surrounded by darkness and call for help, and then there will be the Elf King and the Elf Queen, as well as the white-robed wizard Saruman, the three strongest beings, who will come to rescue Gandalf by the way, defeat the nine immortal rings, and finally drive out Sauron.

But how did Gandalf end up here?

Looking at Gandalf with a tired expression, Lan Ze frowned, if it weren't for the fact that he could sense that Gandalf did not have the power of the world's will in his body, Lan Ze would have been ready to attack even the moment he saw Gandalf, because Gandalf's appearance was simply unreasonable.

Gandalf didn't notice that Lan Ze's expression was abnormal, at this time, Gandalf was full of worries because of the matter of the orcs, and he had been running all the way for such a long journey, which also made Gandalf's body very tired, a sharp breath, and endured his tired body, Gandalf strode towards Thorin: "Thorin, it's great to see you, fortunately, I arrived in time." ”

Seeing Gandalf, Thorin was obviously very excited, just now in Changhu Town, the scene of the blue ice frozen lake Thorin is deeply remembered! He finally has a vague understanding of the mystery and power of wizards, and Thorin believes that with the appearance of Gandalf, his journey to slay the dragon will be smoother!

After all, Gandalf, as a wizard who has lived in this land for an unknown amount of time, in Thorin's opinion, is definitely not weaker than Lan Ze in the slightest, and even surpasses Lan Ze a lot, after all, it seems that Gandalf does look much older than Lan Ze, and the impression of wizards in everyone's memory is generally that the older they look, the stronger they are.

But to Thorin's consternation, before the two could say a few words, Gandalf told Thorin that he could not help Thorin to recapture the Lone Mountain and kill the dragon, and even dissuade Thorin from entering the Lone Mountain and killing the dragon.

"Why?" Thorin frowned, looking at Gandalf with an unkind expression, what had he worked so hard for? Isn't it just to be able to take back the lonely mountain and let the great dwarven kingdom rise again, if it weren't for this idea or dream, Thorin would have been able to live a happy and comfortable life in the Blue Mountain Mountains, the new gathering place of the dwarves, and he must know that his identity as a dwarf prince has never been changed, and until now, everyone still respects Thorin very much.

Seeing Sorin's frowning brows and not flinching, even with hostile eyes, Gandalf felt a headache, if he had a choice, Gandalf would never come to dissuade Sorin, Gandalf also understood Sorin's current mood very well, just like in Journey to the West, Tang Seng took three apprentices, all the way to the hard work, has come to the foot of the Ling Mountain, just the last level, you can meet the Buddha to get the scriptures, but someone told them that for other reasons, the scriptures can not be taken, and everyone now has more important things to do.

This is the general knowledge of Thorin, plus Thorin's prestige in the team is extremely high, so Thorin did not speak, although the dwarves were very angry, but they still held back, but the eyes of Gandalf all changed in an instant!

But there is no way, when this kind of thing happens, Gandalf is also very helpless, the dark lord Sauron is resurrected, the army of orcs is about to attack, and in the end Gandalf can only tell Thorin in a serious and bitter voice: "The orcs are coming, I have absolutely credible information, I can tell you for sure, the orcs are about to invade, the darkness has come, I have contacted the dwarves and elves and humans, and now the combat power of the two sides is about the same, if there is no accident, we can defeat the attacking orcs, but if the other party has Smaug to join." , there is a good chance that we will lose this war. ”

"Orcs? Smaug? Thorin frowned, the darkness descended Thorin didn't care, after all, it was a little far away from Thorin, but the attack of the orcs was not good news, if Gandalf didn't lie to himself, then even if he killed Smaug and got the Akon gem, it would be useless, because once the war is lost, even if he takes back the lonely mountain, the lonely mountain will still fall into the hands of the orcs in the end, but Thorin still has some unwillingness in his heart: "How do you know that Smaug must be the other party?" Maybe Smaug will help us. ”

"No!" Gandalf decisively crushed Thorin to this dangerous thought, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Thorin, you don't know about dragons, they originated from darkness, so they must belong to darkness in the end, so we can't wake up Smaug, he is a great threat!" ”

Gandalf learns about dragons, creatures born of darkness who have spent their lives believing in Morgoth, the source of all evil in the Hereafter!

The dragon has great power, but its essence is evil, which is why, Gandalf was so resistant to Smaug before, on the other hand, it is also because the geographical location of Iruba occupied by Smaug is very special, the geographical location of the dwarf kingdom Iruba in Middle-earth is extremely important, it is the first level to defend and attack the orcs, the perfect geographical location and strong walls make Iruba offensive and defensible, and it is the hardest layer of armor outside Middle-earth.

"No, Gandalf, I disagree with you." Lan Ze looked at Thorin, looking at the lonely mountain behind Thorin, Gandalf couldn't feel it, but Lan Ze could clearly feel that in the lonely mountain, Smaug's strength was improving wildly! It's like a giant beast about to wake up!

"It is precisely because the orcs are about to attack that we should kill Smaug as soon as possible, you also said, the dragon originated from the darkness, Smaug is destined to stand on the opposite side of us, in order to prevent the dragon from causing us more influence, we should kill Smaug!"

"Nope! Lan Ze, you don't understand!" Gandalf glared at Lan Ze angrily, "You don't know the habits of dragons, these powerful creatures sleep all year round, unless you touch their gold or threaten their lives, these guys will be able to sleep for hundreds of years!" ”

"But Gandalf, how can you be sure that the orcs won't be able to wake up the dragon? As you said, darkness is coming, and if you were the Dark Lord Sauron, would you give up Smaug's mighty power? Lan Ze looked at Gandalf without giving in.

The large number of world wills around the lonely mountain made Lan Ze feel strongly uneasy, but Lan Ze couldn't say the reason, Lan Ze couldn't tell Gandalf and Thorin that he felt the threat of the lonely mountain Smaug, we should kill Smaug first now, if Lan Ze really said this, everyone in front of him would look at Lan Ze with idiotic eyes.

However, Lan Ze really felt the huge threat in the lonely mountain, as if there was a pair of terrifying eyes staring at him in the lonely mountain.

Looking at the hesitant Thorin, Lan Ze coughed dryly and looked at Thorin seriously: "Thorin, believe me, go to the Lonely Mountain now, kill Smaug, get your king's certificate, you will rule all the dwarves, and finally defeat the orcs, rebuild the glorious dwarven empire, and you will be crowned king!" ”

"Nope! Damn Lanze, don't feed Thorin with these misinformation, you're going to ruin everything! Gandalf looked at Lan Ze angrily, if it was really what Lan Ze said, Middle-earth would not only face orcs, but also the mighty dragon Smaug!

Looking at Thorin, Gandalf looked serious: "Thorin, believe me, don't listen to Lan Ze's advice, he will ruin all this, I can guarantee that when this war is over, I will help the dwarves recapture the Lonely Mountain!" ”

"Retake the Lonely Mountain?" Lan Ze sneered, "Yes, you will indeed help the dwarves recapture the Lonely Mountain, but how can you be sure that Thorin will definitely become the king of the Lonely Mountain?" I think Gandalf should be clear that the Seven Dwarven Kingdoms declare allegiance to the bearer of the gem, not to the prince of the Dwarves of Turin, sorry Thorin, maybe I'm going too far, but I have to be superficial, if the war starts and the army is assembled, you are not the one with the most hope of becoming the Dwarven King. ”

"No!" Gandalf glared at Lan Ze, "Thorin will become the Dwarven King because he is the grandson of Thor, because he once defeated the Pale Orcs!" Most importantly, Sarin has my back! Believe me, Thorin, when this war is over, you will become the master of the Lonely Mountain, carrying on your legacy of Turin! ”

"Enough!" Looking at the two people arguing in front of him, Sorin felt that his head was about to get bigger, and took a deep breath, Sorin looked at the two: "Can you let me think about it myself?" Give me a moment to think! ”

"Thorin, think of your people, they are waiting for you not far away, waiting for you to defeat the orcs once more! I promise you, you will be crowned King with your glory! Looking at Thorin in thought, Gandalf made a final effort, he must not let Smaug appear on the battlefield! For a war, one hundred and forty-one meters of fire-breathing dragon - Smaug! The destructive power is terrifying!!

Looking at Thorin's hesitant look, Lan Ze frowned and glanced at Gandalf: "Thorin, I don't want to say so much, I only want to say one sentence, there is only one chance, the competition for royal power is quite cruel, whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself!" ”

After a while, Thorin stopped hesitating and walked over with a serious face, staring at Gandalf with a pair of eyes: "Gandalf, can you guarantee that I will be able to get the Akon Gem and inherit the throne of the Dwarven Kingdom?" ”

Gandalf hesitated for a moment: "Yes, I can assure you!" I can even make a pact with you! ”

"Good!" Thorin's pupils shrank, and he nodded with satisfaction, for Westerners, the contract is a very important thing, as long as the contract is signed, it means that this matter is already a certainty.

"Bahrain, help me write a contract, everyone get ready, we're going to battle!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lanze, between dragons and orcs, I hate orcs even more, he killed my father!"

A hint of gloom flashed in Lan Ze's eyes, Lan Ze knew Thorin's thoughts, and knew what everyone on the scene thought, including Gandalf's thoughts, but sadly, everyone didn't understand Lan Ze's thoughts.

Dragon-Smaug is insanely powerful for unknown reasons, and this power can easily change the scales of a war! But they didn't understand why, compared to the orcs, Smaug was the biggest threat.

Taking a deep look at everyone in front of him, Lan Ze sighed: "You will regret it!" ”

Looking at the back of Lan Ze leaving, Thorin also sighed in his heart.

Regret?

Thorin didn't know if he would regret it, but Thorin knew that if he was given another chance to choose, he would still choose this way even if he didn't have Gandalf's generous conditions.

As Gandalf said, those who don't know about dragons, who haven't experienced dragon attacks, will never know how terrifying dragons are!

The dragon is an invincible creature, he has the most powerful power in the world, Thorin has experienced that war, and the brave warriors of the brigade rushed forward one after another, and then, like cutting wheat, fell one by one under the dragon's flames, and finally burned to ashes!

The dragon's wings fanned, the sand flew away from the rocks, the dragon's claws waved, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, it was not the exaggerated ballad of the bard, the dragon was really terrifying! Dragon's breath can easily melt iron swords, and even sharp swords are helpless against hard scales.

This is the dragon, this is the impression that Smaug left on Thorin, thirteen dwarves, one snitch, Thorin knows that these people can't kill the dragon, Lan Ze's words just now are fine, but Lan Ze ignored a fatal thing, that is, Thorin from the very beginning, he didn't plan to kill Smaug!

If it weren't for Gandalf's proposal and advice, Thorin wouldn't even have formed this adventure, the fear of dragons was deeply imprinted in Thorin's bones, and if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Ballin, one of the few wise dwarves among the dwarves, woke up the glory and courage of the dwarves of Thorin Turin, Thorin would not have rushed into Irub and fought with the dragon Smaug.

Gandalf was very happy, and after signing the contract, Gandalf looked at Thorin with joy: "This is a wise choice. ”

Bilbo on the side was a little worried, everyone seemed to have said just now, the darkness is coming, and war is about to break out again in Middle-earth, looking at Lan Ze's gradually disappearing back, Bilbo is very worried: "What about Lan Ze?" ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lan Ze's strength is very strong, what you need to worry about is not Mr. Lan Ze, but those half-orcs who meet Mr. Lan Ze" The white-bearded dwarf Balin joked, but then looked at Bilbo with a solemn face, and handed over a set of sturdy armor: "Bilbo, wear it well, I don't want our snitch to be injured on the battlefield!" ”

Thinking of Lan Ze's method of killing the orcs, the tallest dwarf, Dvalin, sighed: "It would be nice if we dwarves were so powerful!" ”

"Haha! Don't even think about it! The dwarf fat man Pombo glanced at Devalin: "If we all had that strength, Smaug wouldn't have found us back then, not necessarily, after all, the king does have a lot of gold, but if Smaug really came over, then it would be the first dragon to be killed by a dwarf, it's interesting to think about!" ”

"Dragons? Lanze? Gandalf was stunned for a moment, his face changed, and he looked at the direction where Lan Ze disappeared, and not far away, there was a towering black mountain peak reaching into the sky.

Gandalf's face instantly became extremely ugly: "Damn, what does that bastard Lanze want to do!" (To be continued.) )
