Perhaps they want to make their lives safer, most of the small intelligent races have the habit of living underground, and use the thick earth to protect their lives. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is true of the goblins and elves of the Harry Potter world, as well as the hobbits and dwarves of the Lord of the Rings.

Home to the dwarves, the kingdom of Irub was also built below the surface.

There are several pathways leading from the interior of the kingdom to the ground, but the only one is wide enough to be a main gate. When the kingdom of Irub was in full swing, foreign politicians and foreign merchants who came to contact him would pass through this main gate to travel to and from the dwarven kingdom.

The rest were mostly 'paths' for the dwarves - they were wide and high enough for the dwarves, but they were too narrow for the other sapient races taller than the dwarves.

It was thanks to these 'paths' that so many dwarves escaped when the orcs broke through the kingdom of Irub - the orcs were so tall that they could not enter these 'paths' to chase down the fleeing dwarves.

Decades later, it was time for these 'paths' to do their job - in order to bypass Smaug as much as possible and find the Akon Gem before it awoke, the dwarves decided to return to the interior of the kingdom of Iruber through the secret passages, rather than through the most prominent main entrance.

"Then let's go through the front door." After listening to the dwarves' plans, Chu Xiaobai put forward a suggestion to divide the troops: "First, our body is a little bigger, and it is not very convenient to walk the small road, even if we can keep up, we will toss enough on the road and lose most of our combat effectiveness." Second, you need someone to help distract Smaug. ”

Chu is right. Let's go to the main gate and block Smaug's way out in advance. Gandalf also nodded and expressed his support for Chu Xiaobai's opinion.

As Chu Xiaobai expected, Gandalf finally came to Changhu Town and joined everyone. As for Ridagast, he went to the White Council to report to Saruman what had happened before.

Gandalf couldn't have imagined that the Supreme Demon Ring had been found and destroyed by Chu Xiaobai, and he couldn't imagine that this was the root cause of what happened to Dolgodo, so naturally he wouldn't ask Chu Xiaobai about these things. In turn, Chu Xiaobai did not take the initiative to speak out about this matter. So, when Gandalf arrived in Longlake to meet the crowd, the conversation was limited to how to help the dwarves complete their tasks.

"Then let's go to the main gate." After Chu Xiaobai and Gandalf, Toriel made the same choice on behalf of the elves: "Only Chu and Gandalf's words, the number is too small. Our participation may be able to help somewhat. ”

"Of course. I'm just thinking that there aren't enough people. Chu Xiaobai gave a warm welcome to the elves, and while nodding, he took out a black and round thing from the space: "This thing is what I saved before, and it is best to use it for ambushes." Hehe, we can arrange more of these things on the road in advance, and trigger them when Smaug rushes out, so that Smaug will suffer a big loss~. ”

What Chu Xiaobai took out was a magic bomb. This thing was found in the magic prop shop on the Harry Potter plane, and it was originally just a blasting tool used by wizards to build underground laboratories, but in Chu Xiaobai's opinion, they could be used in a different way and used as land mines that didn't need leads.

For example, now, Chu Xiaobai plans to use these land mines to set a trap for Smaug - maybe neither the explosion nor the flames can damage Smaug, but the collapsed mountain can suppress the huge Smaug, so that it cannot rush out of the belly of the mountain.

As long as Smaug's ability to move was limited and he couldn't take to the skies, things would be much easier. It would have been better if the collapsing mountain had knocked Smaug unconscious.

"Well, then it's decided. Let's go through the dark passage, and you go to the main gate. "Listening to Chu Xiaobai's detailed account of the effect of the magic bomb, and after a little entanglement on the matter of 'the main gate may be destroyed', and finally, under the persuasion of Bahrain, Thorin and the other dwarves finally agreed to Chu Xiaobai's suggestion one after another.

Now that the battle plan has been made, it's almost time to go.

Because the next road was a mountain road, and horses and other things were used a lot, so Chu Xiaobai left Black Rose at Bud's house and asked Bane to help take care of it. The dwarves did the same, leaving their ponies behind.

As a landowner, Bard also had to follow the expedition. Although Chu Xiaobai had made a promise, he was still ready to 'not return', and said goodbye to his three children before leaving.

The young Tilda and Higrid don't know why their father has suddenly become so gentle, but Bane, who is already a half-grown teenager, already understands what his father means.

Looking at the back of Bard leaving with the expedition, the young man's heart was full of worry and bitterness, but when he thought that his father had made this choice in order to restore the glory of his ancestors, he was unconsciously moved and had a stronger will - even if his father failed this time, he would have to choose whose father he was, and then work hard for the same goal.

……………………………………..

The town of Changhu is at the foot of the lonely mountain, and it only took four or five hours to walk all the way, and the expedition team has already arrived on the mountain.

It's noon, and it's the best time to see it.

Standing halfway up the mountainside, as far as the eye can see, the whole lonely mountain, from the top to the bottom of the mountain, is full of gloomy feeling—the surface of the ground is bare, without a trace of vegetation, and occasionally a few trees are dead trees that have long since died; There was no sign of animal activity, no roars, no birds, no beehs, only a howling cold wind; In the valley below, a huge city ruins sits there, and the ruined walls are in full decay, which was the original river valley town.

Looking at the ruins of Riverdale, Bud, a descendant of Jillian, was filled with emotion, as if he had seen the scene of his ancestors fighting against Smaug in that land thousands of years ago.

"This is the town of Riverdale, once the center of northern trade, rich in fruits and vegetables, and they are dependent on the kingdom of Irub, and they live in peace and prosperity, and are famous throughout Middle-earth." The dwarves also had mixed feelings, looking at the ruins in the distance, Balin's tone was full of memories: "Compared to Riverdale Town, the Kingdom of Irub is even more beautiful, it is a magnificent underground world, full of bold beauty. It's a pity that all these good things have been destroyed by the evil dragon~! Damn Smaug~! ”

"Everything will be fine. We will rebuild our home and make the name of Irub known to the world again. Thorin patted the old fellow on the shoulder: "As for now, we have to complete this expedition mission first, enter the Lonely Mountain, and find what we want." Well, the first thing to do is to find the secret passage and secret door, let's take action~! ”

"Go find the secret door." Chu Xiaobai and Bilbo came to the two dwarves, and patted Bilbo on the shoulder while talking: "Bilbo, you follow the dwarves to act together." Their movements are not dexterous enough, and whether or not they can find the Akon Treasure Diamond depends on your ability. ”

"I see." Bilbo put his hand into his arms and touched a box a few times, and nodded solemnly to Chu Xiaobai.

What was in the box was the 'life-saving prop' that Chu Xiaobai specially prepared for Bilbo. In the original story, Bilbo was able to avoid Smaug's attack and find the Arkon Diamond, not only because of his own protagonist aura, but also because he obtained the One Ring, which Bilbo would become invisible if he wore it.

And now, the Supreme Ring did not fall into Bilbo's hands, but was destroyed by Chu Xiaobai early, which made it impossible for Bilbo to act stealthily in front of Smaug. In this way, whether he can still be as safe and sound as in the original plot has really become a question mark.

As Bilbo's friend, Chu Xiaobai would not watch him fall into danger, and moreover, he intercepted the Supreme Ring in advance, causing losses to Bilbo, and he should be compensated afterwards. So, in order to ensure Bilbo's safety in this operation, Chu Xiaobai took out a few extremely precious potions and handed them to Bilbo.

The first is a therapeutic agent. Different from the conventional healing potions in the Harry Potter plane, this healing potion is filled with soul solution and Xiaoxiaobai's specially purified healing energy, and the effect has been greatly improved - even if you are seriously injured, as long as it is not an instant death, you can use this potion to stabilize the injury or even return to normal immediately.

The second potion is the Transformation Elixir. Although the potion came from Weasley's two older brothers, it was originally used as a prank prop, but the transformation effect it possessed was an excellent camouflage effect at this time. After drinking the potion, Bill will turn into a little mouse, and no matter how sensitive Smaug is, he should not take an inconspicuous little mouse as an attack.

The third is an invisibility potion. This thing is a rare treasure, you know, in the Harry Potter plane, the only thing that can make people hide their bodies is Harry's invisibility cloak, but there is no serious invisibility potion, not even a formula.

Speaking of which, this is still a treasure that Chu Xiaobai found in the potion shop in Diagon Alley, and it is a product that a wizard accidentally made when he was doing an experiment. Because it was the product of an accident, there were only two copies of this thing. When buying the potion, the shopkeeper used up one copy for a demonstration, and now Bilbo has the last one.
