"I'm good at it!" Shalin thumped his breastplate with a clatter: "I know every mountain range, and besides, I can smash a group of Orcs with a single hammer!" Even if it's a troll, I'll dare to smash its toes! ”

"And then eaten alive by trolls?"

Naturally, Tang Sen would not say this, he was not as low as the dwarves.

But in fact, the trolls are not something that one or two dwarves can deal with, this evil creature is often several meters tall, and some are even more than ten meters, although they have no brains, but with a stick, whether it is a dwarf or a human, they have to become meat patties.

"I'm looking forward to your performance." Tang Sen could only say, "However, I still need more guards, after all, the terrifying existence of this world is far more than trolls. ”

"More?" Sha Lin was stunned for a moment: "I can't satisfy you alone?" ”

"I'm afraid not." Townsend said, "Don't worry about commissions, Shalin, I'll give them the same price as you." ”

Under Shalin's suspicious gaze, Tang Sen spread out his hand, and a pile of Mithril coins came out of thin air.

"Oh-"

Shalin let out an irrepressible exclamation: "Durin's beard... Today is a lucky day! ”

His eyes and mind were so drawn to Mithril that it took him a long time before he realized that it had appeared out of thin air.

So he jumped up in shock and shouted, "You're a wizard? ”

"Judging by my outfit, I don't wear any robes, in fact, I'm just a traveler." Townsend replied, "Of course, I, like the wizards, come from somewhere else. ”

Wizards of Middle-earth are not the magicians that everyone can easily imagine, in fact, there are only five wizards in the entire Middle-earth.

After the Veras decided not to set foot in Middle-earth, they sent five Maia to Middle-earth to guide and help the humans, elves, and dwarves of Midway against evil, so these wizards were actually gods of the same level as Sauron.

It's just that, in order not to upset the balance of Middle-earth, the wizards have bound themselves to human flesh, and therefore most of their divine power.

For example, a certain gray-robed wizard, most of the time the spell only uses light magic, and is more accustomed to rushing up with a staff and a big sword to cut people.

So Townsend meant something, and continued:

"Beyond Middle-earth."

This hand was naturally deliberately displayed by Tang Sen, and it is conceivable that in the future time in this world, he will need to use a lot of Mithril, and he is alone, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion, rather than this, it is better to set up an identity for himself from the beginning.

Anyway, there are already too many weird things in this world, and the acceptance is very high.

"Valinor... Where the gods dwell! Naturally, Shalin figured out what Townsend wanted him to get.

"No wonder your name is so weird."

Tang Sen smiled without saying a word, the Mithril coin in his hand disappeared directly, and then flipped down, and a huge stone chest clattered to the ground.

"I only have a few small means of storage, and I can't compare to those wizards."

In fact, the storage space in your mind can only hold world rewards and goods, and of course, such trivial things don't need to be revealed to the dwarves.

Townsend put the stone box back away and said, "So, I need more dwarf protection... Of course, if it's too much trouble for you, I'll go find the elves, they'll be interested in Mithril. ”

"Elves?!" Shalin suddenly put the speculation about Townese's identity behind him, and his simple thinking made him furious when he heard that Townsend was trying to hire elves: "Elves are just a bunch of sissies who can't even lift a hammer!" Coward! They saw that Oak could do nothing but flee in the wilderness! ”

"They don't deserve Mithril! Only the valiant dwarves are the best guards! There is no place in Middle-earth where dwarves dare not go! ”

With a smile in his eyes, the dwarf's emotions were too easy to control.

"Do you dare to go too?"

Hearing the name of Mordor, Shalin's movements paused for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he said angrily: "Of course I dare, don't say that Sauron is long gone, even if he still occupies Mordor, the dwarves are not afraid to stand under the Black Gate!" It's not the first time again! ”

Tang Sen continued to instigate, "What about Lonely Mountain? ”

This place name is the same as Meria, it is a pain in the hearts of the dwarves, so Shalin was silent, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, the redness on his face quickly faded, and his tone became low: "Of course I dare, dwarves are not afraid of death, but I can't..."

Instead of continuing to hit him, Tang Sen was relieved, "I believe that the dwarves will return to the Lonely Mountain one day. ”

"That's right!" Shalin quickly regained his mood and laughed, "Actually, this day will come soon. ”

He said excitedly: "The great Thorin Oak Shield has led an adventuring party to the Lonely Mountain, he will definitely drive away that evil dragon and reclaim the wealth that belongs to the dwarves, I believe that the next time I hear from him, he will already be the king of the mountain!" ”

Townsend was stunned for a moment.

Of course, he knew who Thorin Oakshield was, the royal family of the Durin family, the heir to the dwarven throne, and one of the protagonists of the Hobbit trilogy, which revolved around reclaiming the Lonely Mountain.

"Has it started?"

Townsend couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, there was no doubt that without his own interference, Thorin Oak Shield would have recaptured the Lonely Mountain with the help of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, Townsend didn't care where the Lonely Mountain belonged, what he cared about was that, according to the original plot, Smaug would have died at that time from the last dwarven black arrow.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

He didn't know how long it took for this adventuring party to reach Lonely Mountain, and no matter how meticulous the Middle-earth Scholars were, they wouldn't have memorized these data, not to mention that Townsend was just a hobbyist of interest.

"Looks like we should go, Sharin." Tang Sen spoke, "Take me to meet your people." ”

"They'll be happy to see a wizard... No, it should be said that it is a traveler. Shalin excitedly said, "Of course, including the Mithril in the Traveler's hand. ”

He bent down with a swift movement, stripping the corpses of the two Orcs clean.

"......" The corners of Tang Sen's mouth twitched, and he said, "Shalin, what are you doing?" ”

"Collect my loot, of course!" Shalin tore off the pieces of iron from Orc's armor with his bare hands, tossed the remaining tattered leather aside, then picked up the two dirty, greasy blades and packed them together with ropes.

"Otherwise, where do you think I have the leisure to chase after these Orcs? Dwarves also have to eat! ”

He muttered, "But it's strange, the Misty Mountains are still far away, how did these Orcs wander to Tower Hill?" ”

"Because Sauron has woken up, of course." Tang Sen didn't say this sentence, for many people in Middle-earth, Sauron, who almost conquered the world in the last era, has been wiped out for a long time.

However, it can be seen from Shalin's skillful movements that the situation of the Dwarves of Durin is even worse than he imagined.
