Chapter 239: People do not stand without faith
In the eyes of those townspeople of Long Lake, when the dragon Smaug spread his wings, his body was so large that it almost obscured the sky.
However, when the dragon that had given them countless nightmares for days and nights spread its wings and fell from the sky again, these people couldn't help but let out an exclamation. This time it was not because of fear, but because of shock and joy!
That terrible, murderous, chilling dragon is dead!
'Boom!' The huge body of Smaug fell from the sky and fell heavily into the long lake. Under the action of acceleration, the heavy body stirred up huge waves up to 100 meters high on the calm lake.
Smaug's body temperature was extremely high, and there was a lot of flame elemental in his body. Even if you die, it's still hot. After falling into the long lake, it reacted violently with the icy water, and a dense mist evaporated. From a distance, the lake boiled as if it were boiling.
"He's going to fall to his death!" The dwarves who had recovered from the huge shock suddenly saw Chen Mo in the sky, who was also falling rapidly, and exclaimed.
Previously, Smaug took Chen Mo and flew into the sky hundreds of meters high, Chen Mo fell from such a high place at this time, under normal circumstances, even if he fell on the water, he would be crushed!
Compared to the shock of the dwarves, King Ida was very calm. This stems from the trust in Chen Mo. Since Chen Mo dared to do this, there would definitely be a way to get out.
Sure enough, just as Chen Mo was about to fall on the water, a nightmare war horse with a black body and four hooves burning with flames suddenly appeared at Chen Mo's feet.
Ignoring gravity, the nightmare war horse stood on the surface of the lake with Chen Mo in tow, and this unbelievable scene instantly made the elven prince Legras's expression change greatly.
When Chen Mo rode the Nightmare War Horse all the way from the surface of the Long Lake to everyone, before the Thorin Oak Shield stepped forward to congratulate Chen Mo, Legolas had already pulled up his bow and aimed at Chen Mo.
'Chok~~~'
'Kala!'
Two swords were instantly across Legolas's neck, and a pistol was pressed against the back of his head.
"Calm down!Don't be impulsive!" Thorin Oak Shield hurriedly exhorted, "It's all your own people!"
Legolas's handsome face did not waver at all because of the sharp blade on his neck, and his eyes stared coldly at Chen Mo, "Why do you have a Ring Spirit mount?!"
"Hiss~~~" The dwarves around were all startled, and they involuntarily retreated to avoid Chen Mo. The name of the Ringwraiths is even more terrifying in Middle-earth than Smaug.
Smaug could be regarded as a physical presence that could be seen and touched, no matter what he said, but the Ring Spirit was already a type that was close to fooling around.
"You say this?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I have fought a very strong monster before, and this is the mount of that monster that I snatched over." But it certainly won't be a ringing spirit. ”
"He's not a ringing spirit. At this time, the hobbit Baggins came to Legolas and said, "There is no dark aura on his body, he is a real human." ”
It's clear that Legolas takes Baggins' word for it. After hesitating, he put away his bow and arrows.
In fact, Legolas also understood that Chen Mo, who could single-handedly kill Smaug, was not something he could deal with at all. The reason why he did this was purely out of his own righteous heart. As Sauron's servants, the Ringwraith itself is synonymous with darkness. No righteous person in Middle-earth could endure the existence of such darkness. As long as you meet, it will inevitably be a big war.
"Alright, now can we talk about the distribution of treasures?" Chen Mo got off the Nightmare Warhorse and smiled at the already trembling Thorin Oak Shield.
"Here...... It's all the treasures of the dwarven ancestors!" Thorin Oak Shield turned to look at the mountain of treasures in the palace, his body trembling, "I can't, I can't give them up!"
Thorin Oak Shield is now very tangled, as these treasures originally belonged to the Dwarven Kingdom. They don't want to share it with others at all, but they have made an agreement before, and if they regret it at this time, their reputation will be completely ruined. The races of Middle-earth will despise him.
And even if Thorin Oak Shield really tore his face, he was not sure to fight against Chen Mo, a powerful existence that could single-handedly kill the evil dragon Smaug.
The tangled Thorin Oak Shield wanted to regret it, but he didn't dare to really start a war with Chen Mo. A face was aggrieved and uncomfortable, and the whole person's expression became very strange.
Chen Mo was naturally able to see the tangled expression of the Thorin Oak Shield, and stepped forward with a smile and said, "That's it, we don't want a third of the treasure either." After all, the treasures here were originally owned by the dwarves, and we only need one. What do you think?"
"Great!" was struggling with how to deal with a strong man like Chen Mo once he regretted it, and Solin Oak Shield was immediately overjoyed, and almost jumped up directly, "No, I mean, it's really embarrassing." It's a shame that you killed that damn dragon and didn't pay you enough. ”
"It's okay, I don't really care about that. Of course Chen Mo didn't care, although these gold, silver and jewelry were a huge fortune, they didn't mean anything to him at all. It can't be exchanged for points or taken away, it's just a decoration. Moreover, after killing Smaug before, the survival world had already given a full 30,000 points in rewards! Chen Mo had already made a lot of money.
"And what do you want?" Thorin Oak Shield patted his chest with joy on his face, "As long as it's here, you can take it!"
Thorin Oak Shield felt like he was about to go crazy, it was really admirable that such a powerful existence as Chen Mo was so high-spirited! The treasures here were piled up, and everywhere he could see was glittering gold and silver jewelry. There are so many things to pick and choose at will.
"Then you're welcome. Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I want that elf diamond!"
The Elven Diamond is Giryan's jade necklace, the treasure of the Legolas family. It is also one of the important reasons why the elves and dwarves are hostile to each other. Because this diamond fell into the hands of the dwarves, and they refused to return it in the face of the elves' demands, this led to long-term hostility and confrontation between the two races. If it weren't for the dark forces of Sauron, the two sides would have been fighting a long time ago.
After hearing Chen Mo's words, all the people at the scene were stunned in an instant, and the air seemed to be condensed.
Legras's brows furrowed, and the dwarves all looked at Chen Mo uneasily. Girion's jade necklace is a treasure for the elves, and it is equally important to the dwarves!
"This..."Thorin Oak Shield swallowed hard, and responded to Chen Mo in a trembling voice, "Can you change another one?"
How could Chen Mo agree to replace, this is the goal of the mission!
However, Chen Mo did not attack directly, but looked at the hobbit who looked anxious on the side, "Mr. Baggins, you were a notary when I made an agreement with Thorin Oak Shield before. Now that I've given up a third of my treasure and only have one diamond, Thorin Oak Shield still won't pay what he promised. I would like you, as a notary, to tell me how to resolve this matter. ”
Baggins, who thought that he was greatly valued, immediately pulled the Thorin Oak Shield to the side to discuss, and King Ida quietly came to Chen Mo's side and asked softly, "What are you doing so troublesomely, just grab it directly." ”
"Look at how big this place is, there are gold and silver jewels everywhere, and it takes a lot of time and effort to find a gemstone. Chen Mo explained softly, "More importantly, our second mission is to start a war with the army of half-orcs. Without the help of these dwarves and elves, how would we be able to kill the Commander Bog from among the hosts? Besides, the Lord of the Rings is so big that we will most likely come back in the future. Now is not the time to be at a standoff with these powerful races. ”
"What are your specific plans?" Ida Wang wanted to know what Chen Mo's specific plans were.
"That hobbit is very important to be famous and trustworthy, and in short, he is a good person. Chen Mo explained softly, "The reason why I asked him to be a notary before was to ask him to help. There are so many people here, and he is the only one who can find the Elven Diamond the fastest. And he is also the holder of the Lord of the Rings, and his status is extraordinary. After the dragon is dead, it won't be long before armies from all sides come over to fight for the treasure. All we have to do is fight against the orcs with the dwarven elves. Then kill that Pogue, and forge friendships with dwarves, elves, and even humans. If there is a chance to come over in the future, they will all be a huge help. ”
Baggins walked towards Chen Mo with a straight face, and it seemed that the negotiations had collapsed.
The upright hobbit couldn't believe how the heroic Thorin Oak Shield had become like this? He had never imagined that the Thorin Oak Shield would break his oath! Could these treasures really be so important?
"I'm so sorry, Thorin doesn't know what's going on right now. He refused to give the Elven Diamond. Baggins came to Chen Mo with a look of embarrassment and guilt, "He said that in addition to the Elven Treasure Diamond, you can choose anything else." ”
"There is a saying that is very popular in our Eastern world. Chen Mo said softly, "People don't stand without trust, which means that if people don't have credibility, living in the world is purely a waste of food." I kept my promise to kill Smaug the dragon, but you didn't. This made me feel very disappointed. Mr. Baggins, I have solemnly invited you to be a notary, and at this moment, do you have nothing to say to me?"
Baggins looked very entangled, he was the kind of person who valued credibility very much. If he hadn't been invited by Chen Mo to be a notary before, he wouldn't have been so troubled. But since he has assumed the responsibility of a notary, he has to solve this matter!
"Please rest assured!" Baggins took a deep breath and looked at Chen Mo, his gaze was extremely firm, "I will definitely give you an explanation!"
