"The light is gone!"

Thorin was stunned, he looked at the distant mountains, quickly took out the map in his hand, and muttered to himself: "The last light of the day of Dulin, the last touch."

"Thorin, even if the door is opened, we won't be able to deal with the dragon without the Traveler." Bahrain said in a complicated tone.

"No, it can't be!" As if he hadn't heard it, Thorin kept muttering to himself, looking at the distant mountains for a while, and then at the rock wall: "It will never fail like this, it must not fail like this"

"Thorin, let's face it, we can find a way now, maybe we can save them." Sharda Road.

Thorin ignored it, uncovering his visor and banging frantically against the rock wall, trying to find the hidden keyhole.

"Thorin."

"Thorin!"

The dwarves couldn't stand it anymore and called out to their king.

"Shut up!" Thorin turned his head sharply, and everyone could see his red eyes.

"What are you still standing for? Why don't you find out? Don't you want to go back to Erebor? You don't want the riches of the lonely mountain? ”

The dwarves were taken aback, and Balin let out a long sigh and said, "Thorin, I can't find it, the keyhole has been enchanted, and now it doesn't exist on the rock wall at all, only under certain conditions, it will appear." ”

"No, no!" Thorin shook his head and staggered around.

"You don't care, do you? If you had been looking for it together, we would have found it, but you only thought of the traveler, and you only thought of sarin—"

He almost gritted his teeth: "Hehe, Mithril Hammer, Sarin Mithril Hammer!" ”

"Thorin, we didn't—" The dwarves explained in a panic, but Thorin interrupted them forcefully.

"I already knew, don't you think I didn't find out?"

Thorin said to himself, "You obey the traveler, you worship Sharin, you think I am inferior to a female dwarf, you have a grudge against me, even my kin, my nephew, Chili, Fili. ”

"You've forgotten who your king is—"

His long-standing depression and anger finally exploded at this moment, and hundreds of years of anticipation, forbearance along the way, and obsession with the wealth of the lonely mountain made him say words that were more stinging to the dwarves than the blade of the sword.

"Unfaithful!"

The moonlight rose, and the silvery white light shone on Thorin's face, and he was no longer the face of the dwarves, but a gray, fearsome skeleton.

"You are betrayal! Betrayed me, betrayed Erebo—"

His tone became more angry than one sentence at a time, and at the end he even roared:

"You have betrayed Durin!"

These heart-wrenching words struck all the dwarves like lightning.

It was a curse that was more painful for the dwarves than death.

The croaking of the beast came from far and near, but the dwarves remained motionless, like stone statues.

Until a familiar voice woke them up.

"Get out of the way! Parry! ”

The dwarves were shocked, and when they looked back, they saw in the moonlight, a dwarf in silver-white armor riding on the neck of the beast, which seemed to have lost its direction, and fell straight towards the cliff platform.

"Sarin. It's sarin! The dwarves woke up from a dream and hurriedly parted to the sides.

The beast slammed down on the platform, accompanied by roars and screams, and the laughter of Shalin.

She rolled over and got off the beast and shouted, "Where is my hammer? Let me smash this brute! ”

"It's dead sand. Shalin, how could you."

The dwarves were dumbfounded, they could never have imagined that Shalin would come back in this way.

"Hah! That's a good story! ”

"I blinded it so that it lost its sight, and then flew it back," said Shalin smugly. ”

Although there is a little bit of luck in it.

Well, in fact, more than a little, the beast won't listen to her at all, it just flies around and crashes headlong.

This sentence is not majestic when it is said, so Salin selectively ignores it.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the dwarves, Shalin was so happy that she actually felt that she couldn't come back.

"By the way, Townsen—"

Then she patted her head and turned the beast's corpse over with all her might, and saw Townsend stuck in the beast's claws.

The spikes on the armor pierced deep into the flesh of the beast, and even got stuck in the bones, and it took a lot of effort for Shalin to pull out Tang Sen.

Fortunately, the spikes made a great contribution, after all, the beast wanted to throw Tang Sen down more than once during this period.

"I'm feeling a little dizzy."

Tang Sen stood in place and swayed: "Damn, it's good that I don't have a fear of heights." ”

"Hahaha! It's fine if you're okay. Shalin laughed and said, "I said that before I fell, there would never be anything wrong with you!" ”

Townsend took off his armor and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

The plan really couldn't catch up with the changes, and even after so many preparations, it almost capsized in the gutter.

War is really not so easy to play with, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the unknown is too great.

"My ability to protect myself is not enough."

Tang Sen quickly reviewed the accident, it was not that the dwarf guards he formed were not strong enough, and he never underestimated the danger that would be encountered at the foot of the lonely mountain, the essence of this kind of thing was because of his own strength.

Even if the number of dwarves is doubled, or the number of borrowed elves is doubled, as long as you are still the weakest point in the team, if the team cannot protect you, you will be seized by the enemy.

Not this time, there will be a next time.

Tang Sen deeply realized this, although he relied on wealth, and many times he did not need to do it himself, but not doing it was different from not being able to do it.

"In addition to bodyguards, I also need to have my own strength to face the increasingly dangerous and changeable world in the future."

After the review, Townsend came back to his senses and forced himself to regain his sobriety and sanity.

This kind of thing is not rushed, and there are more important things to do next.

"Traveler, it's great to see you back safely." Bahrain said sadly: "But we. . . Failed. ”

Townsend looked around at the dwarves, and finally fixed his gaze on Thorin's exposed face, and from their gestures, Townsend found some clues.

It seemed that Thorin had begun to lose his mind, as he had expected.

This was quicker than Townsend had imagined, and Townsend expected that the future dwarven king would not be completely crushed until he saw the mountains of wealth.

Probably because of Sharin's performance.

This is a good thing, and it is also the result of the constant inducement of Townessen, who remained silent and asked, "What failed?" ”

"We missed the last light of the day in Turin." Sharda spoke, "We will never be able to enter Erebo again. ”

"Sauron's army will sweep through Middle-earth, and the Lonely Mountain will be a paradise for the creatures of darkness." Bahrain almost burst into tears: "And we."

He glanced at Thorin and choked up, "We don't have a home anymore. ”

It's not just the lonely mountain, they have been abandoned by the king, and even Eridron can't go back, and their only fate is to become outcasts who are spurned, rotting in the gutter.

"Really?" Townsend looked at Thorin: "Have you given up yet?" Thorin Oak Shield? ”

Thorin exuded a gloomy aura: "Traveler, our agreement is over, and so is this farce. ”

"You and your loyal dwarves can go wherever they want, the outcome is the same anyway."

"I'm not going anywhere." Tang Sen shook his head: "The purpose of my coming here has not been accomplished. ”

"Ridiculous." Thorin sneered, "You're still going to say that travelers always have a way to talk this kind of?" ”

He vented angrily: "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have lost so much time, we wouldn't have missed that light, and now we're in the hall of Erebo!" ”

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to see the Misty Mountains." Tang Sen didn't react to the other party's impotent rage, and just said flatly: "Thorin Oak Shield, I can give you immortality, and I can also give you death. ”

"Don't expect me to be as kind as a wizard."

"Town-" Shalin couldn't help but speak, she didn't know what had happened before, in her simple thoughts, one was the king of the dwarves, and the other was a traveler who led the dwarves, she didn't want to see a conflict between the two sides, so she said, "Thorin didn't mean to blame you, he just missed the time, so."

"Ha, hahaha!" Sarin was interrupted by a maniacal laugh from Thorin, who pointed at him and leaned back in laughter.

"Sharin, the great Shalin Mithril Hammer, led the dwarves through the waves of darkness and single-handedly subdued the evil beasts in the sky, and your name and deeds are enough to be engraved on the throne of Erebo."

He sneered loudly, slamming the key to the secret door against Sharin's blood-stained armor, "I'll give you that right, if you can do it." ”

"It's a pity that no one can enter Erebo now, it's just useless scrap metal."

Shalin looked at Thorin a little bewildered, even if he was as dull as her, he could tell that the other party's words were not compliments.

"Pick up the key, Sharin."

Tang Sen said silently, "Since it is the right given by the future Dwarf King, you should not waste it. ”

"I-" Shalin opened her mouth, not knowing what to do with the scene, but she finally chose to follow Townsend's instructions and picked up the key.

"Before you go to the rock wall, sarin, the moonlight will guide you."

Townsend continued to coach.

Confused, almost instinctively, Shalin complied, and in the moonlight, she was caught by a thrush, and then, beside her, she saw a keyhole magically emerge from the bright moonlight.

"The day of Durin is not over yet." Tang Sen didn't look at Thorin, but just groaned: "The last light is not the sunset, but the moonlight. ”

Thorin stood aside, his skeletal face filled with incomparably complex expressions for a moment.

"Open the secret door, Sharin."

Townsend said, "You're about to see the Erebo Hall of your dreams. ”

"And it's time for me to face that dragon."
