Chapter 103: It's Been Gone for Too Long
The Mithril Ring can of course control Mithril, albeit only from the Mithril Ring.
Townsend can change the form of Mithril as he wishes, of course, whether it is outlining the embodiment in the Mithril Ring or directly controlling the outside world, it is very slow.
Therefore, it is impossible to control the Mithril battle, and by the time Townsend slowly shapes the Mithril, it will be enough for others to kill him ten thousand times... Unless the enemy is wearing the Mithril armor he has made, then Townsend can directly control the Mithril to form a barb to stab the opponent to death or directly strangle the opponent.
As for the Mithril Flying Sword to take people's lives thousands of miles away, it is even more impossible, not to mention that Tang Sen's sensing range is not large, Tang Sen can only control the form of Mithril, but he can't make Mithril move out of nothing.
Through the miraculous operation of the Mithril Ring, coupled with Gandalf's just the right amount of deterrence, the dwarves finally returned the Mithril Armor honestly, and of course, the pain of losing the armor naturally made the dwarves no longer in the mood to talk.
"Why are you doing that?"
The episode came to an end, and the group began to walk down the complex plank path towards the deeper part of the hollow, with Townsend and Gandalf walking in the front, Gandalf lowered his voice and warned Townwrights:
"It is a dangerous thing to tempt the greed of the dwarves, traveler."
Gandalf, as Maia, naturally knew the real reason for the feud between the dwarves and the elves.
Townsend just smiled and said, "Anything I want to do in this world is dangerous. β
"And, aren't you there?"
"I can't stop anything." Gandalf said, "You should be able to tell, Thorinβ"
He paused: "The dragon disease of the dwarven royal family affects their minds all the time, and if you stimulate him in this way, it is very likely that he will lose his mind. β
"Dragon disease?" Of course Townsend knew about this disease, in fact, it was a disease, and Townsend felt that this was more like an excuse made by the dwarves for themselves, the dragon disease was not unique to the dwarven royal family, but was hidden in the hearts of every dwarf, and its other name was greed.
The richer the dwarf, the deeper his greed for wealth will be, and the more his temperament will be affected by it.
The dwarven royal family, which happens to be the richest, occupies a monstrous amount of wealth, and is trapped deeper and deeper in greed, until they are unwilling to let go of any gold coins.
Of course, not every dwarf will lose their minds due to dragon disease, and many dwarven kings throughout history have been able to maintain integrity, but Thorin is clearly not one of them.
Thorin was driven out of the Lonely Mountain by Smaug when he was young, he had seen the wealth of the Lonely Mountain, the greed for that wealth and the long hours of poverty tormented him, as the next Dwarven King, he could only work for humans to earn a living, you can imagine how much fire was hidden in his heart. So much so that he was desperate to recapture Lonely Mountain.
So much so, in the original book, when he finally saw the mountains of wealth piled up in the lonely mountain, he was completely devoured by greed, reneged on the oath he promised, and even the clansmen who followed him all the way were suspicious and suspicious of him.
Also for the sake of wealth, he sat back and watched the Iron Hills Dwarves who came to their aid fight alone, slaughtered by the Orcists, and did not respond.
"Thorin will eventually lose his mind, wizard, and I don't believe you can see that." Tang Sen said, "It's just that he hasn't been stupid enough to betray his integrity in front of the wizard and his own people. β
Gandalf frowned, suddenly realizing something.
"Traveler, you want to interfere in the internal affairs of the dwarves?"
"I'm helping the dwarves." Tang Sen said lightly: "It's like what you have done in Middle-earth for so many years. β
"Wizards don'tβ"
"Silence!" Townsend interrupted Gandalf's words and lightened his steps: "We're already very close to there. β
The plank path has come to an end, this is the bottom of the lair, and down is pitch black, and with the light of the participating flames, you can see the naked black rock wall, slanting into the darkness.
The group silently slid down the rock wall, and finally came to a dark cavern.
It can be seen that many of the Oaks who have been squeezed down from above on the ground are already dead and can no longer die, and by the glimmer of light coming down from the top of their heads, everyone found that some of them had fallen to their deaths, while others seemed to have fallen and died by being hit in the head with a stone.
The evidence was a stone blackened by Orc's blood, and a trail dragged down the cavern's pathway into the depths.
"I, Shalin, and Mr. Baggins can just go in, and the others will be here to watch." Townsend ordered, "Line up as a wall and don't let anything pass." β
"I mean, even if it's something you can't see."
"Me?" The hobbit looked at Townsend in confusion: "What role can I play?" β
"You're the main character, Mr. Baggins, don't underestimate your power." Townsend laughed.
"Yes, if that's the kind of thing, the hobbits are the best fit, butβ" Gandalf dissatisfied:
"Wizards must not miss this."
"You should know the properties of that thing." Townsend called the other man by name, rarely, "Gandalf, that thing must not be touched by you, and even, until the dust settles, you'd better not see it." β
Gandalf was stunned: "I almost ignored this... It's been gone for far too long. β
He glanced back at Thorin and the other dwarves vaguely, "Your decision is correct, traveler, the fewer people who go in the way, the better, and it's better to be the only one who goes in." β
"Although its current owner is weak, it is not so weak that I can catch it alone." Tang Sen shook his head: "Shalin is the best fighter, and, I believe in her. β
"What the hell are you talking about?" Hearing Townsend mention her, Shalin leaned over, "Do travelers and wizards always like to talk so mysteriously?" β
"Only wizards will." Townsend said without hesitation.
The corners of Gandalf's eyes twitched.
"Let's go, then."
Townsend didn't give Gandalf a chance to refute, letting Sarin play in the front, sandwiching the panicked and confused Hobbit in the middle.
"The most... At the very least, you have to tell me what I'm going to do next. The hobbit asked cautiously.
Townsend didn't answer, until the figures of the dwarves blocking the passage behind him disappeared from view, and then he said, "You don't have to do anything, you just need to keep one thing after everything is over." β
Without further ado, Tang Sen carefully said to Shalin, "Shalin, the next thing is very important. β
"Our goal is not very difficult to deal with, the only thing to note is that when you spot him, you must control his hands as soon as possible."
He thought for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, you can't do such a delicate job." β
"Just smash him."
