Start with the Lord of the Rings

"Of course, this is the king's promise!"

Thorin Oakenshield's calm voice resounded in the spacious house.

At this moment, I looked at the figure sitting by the head of the bed.

Everyone's tense minds immediately loosened, followed by happiness, heartfelt happiness.

Bahrain, the white-bearded dwarf standing at the end of the bed, was the most excited.

The moment Sorin Oakenshield finished speaking, his eyes were slightly red, and there were obvious crystal tears flickering in his eyes.

The dwarf Devalin was also very happy about Thorin's sobriety.

His loyalty to Thorin Oakenshield has always been purest.

But he's always been a rough man.

Although there is no strong emotion on his face like Bahrain.

But the heart is very happy and very excited.

Gandalf and Bilbo looked at Thorin Oakenshield at this moment, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Morgan said.

After rushing out from the gate of Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oak Shield has indeed changed, and the change is very big.

Still the most sober and sensible change.

The old Sorin is back.

Of course, among all the people present, the one who was most nervous just now was none other than Morgan.

Although he had consulted with Gandalf and Bilbo beforehand to bring it up.

But he didn't tell the two of them that if Thorin Oakenshield still disagreed, he would take action against Thorin Oakenshield.

Just as he had taken Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarven lord of the Iron Hills, Ironfoot Dyne on the battlefield.

Force him to pay back the money to Budd in the river valley.

Fortunately, the sober Thorin Oakenshield did not disappoint Morgan.

At this moment, Thorin Oakenshield looked at the Arken Silmarillion in Morgan's hands, which radiated thousands of rays of light, but he still did not reach out to pick it up.

Instead, he raised his head, glanced at Gandalf and Bilbo not far away, and smiled at Morgan beside him: "And one-fifteenth of your Morgan."

Then he looked at Bilbo again: "And Bilbo yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bilbo's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately declined: "Sorin, I know your good intentions, but I have already taken my commission."

"So, I don't need it."

Bilbo declined, Thorin Oakenshield was not confused.

He was not a stingy man, as he was willing to give Bilbo a mithril mail worth the equivalent of an entire charr.

The extremely greedy and selfish appearance before was only caused by contracting the golden curse disease.

Thorin Oak Shield looked at the little hobbit in front of him and smiled: "I know, change it to this one, right?"

Saying that, he gestured to the Arken gem in front of him, and continued: "But he is back in my hands now."

Thorin Oakenshield finally opened his hands, and Morgan also took advantage of the situation to let go of the Arken Silmarillion.

I got the Arken Silmarillion as I wished, Thorin Oakenshield lost his obsession at this moment, but picked up the Silmaril and shook it at Bilbo, smiling: "So, I still owe you one-fifteenth of Bilbo. treasure."

Bilbo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Thorin: "Well, when did even the treasure be rejected."

Hearing Thorin say this, Bilbo silently agreed.

After Bilbo's words, Thorin Oakenshield turned his gaze to Morgan, before he could speak.

Morgan was also the first to say, "I've already received the payment."

He was interrupted by Thorin Oakenshield before he finished speaking: "Bilbo said the commission because he found the Arken gem."

"What did you take, Morgan, to offset one-fifteenth of the treasure's commission."

"Tell me, I want to meet you too."

Thorin Oakenshield's slightly humorous words.

Immediately made everyone in the room laugh.

Everyone smiled and looked at Morgan.

Indeed, Bilbo said he took the Arken Silmaril for one-fifteenth the value of the treasure in the hoard.

Because the Arken Silmaril is the king of gems, the king's gem, and the symbol of the kingship of the Turin dwarves.

So it's worth it.

But what else did Morgan get, dare to say it can be worth one-fifteenth of his commission.

They all knew that Morgan had taken the treasure from the treasury when he had a falling out with Thorin at that time, which was what Morgan himself said.

They were just as curious as Thorin now.

Facing everyone's eyes, Morgan said with a smile, "You don't have to doubt my eyesight."

"Perhaps what I've got isn't worth as much as the Silmaril that Bilbo found."

"But also no ordinary treasure"

Morgan kept talking, but never said what he took, which made everyone in the room more curious.

"This treasure is equally precious."

"In the eyes of some, he is even more important than the Arken Silmarillion"

Morgan continued to speak, and when Thorin Oakenshield and Gandalf heard this, they couldn't help but ponder.

Whitebeard Balin seemed to remember something, but he couldn't.

Only Bilbo and Devalin were more curiously aroused by Morgan's words.

Especially the irritable and eager Dewalin, he looked at Morgan who was smiling and talking nonsense, and really wanted to say: "Is it okay to be nonsense, just say it and it's over?"

But he dared not.

Had to endure the impatience and wait.

Seeing that everyone's appetite was almost hanged, Morgan said with a smile: "Maybe some of you have already guessed it."

"What I got was a necklace of white gems shining with stars"

Morgan's voice fell, and Thorin Oak Shield immediately asked softly, "Is the starlight white gem necklace the one from the Dark Forest?"

Morgan nodded: "It is the necklace Lord Thranduil is thinking of."

As soon as the voices of the two fell, Balin, who had been thinking hard, immediately figured it out.

Gandalf also reacted at this time. He knew that the elf king of the dark jungle was in conflict with the Turin dwarves.

He said, "If it is that necklace, it is indeed more precious in the eyes of Lord Thranduil than the Arken Silmaril."

Thorin Oakenshield shook his head, looked at Morgan and said, "Although it is indeed a valuable necklace, it is not worth one-fifteenth of the treasure."

"It's far from offsetting the times you've saved me, Morgan."

"And yesterday on Raven Hill, if it weren't for your arrow, Fili would hardly have survived."

Thorin Oakenshield opened his mouth with a smile, but looked at Morgan very seriously and continued, "I know that no amount of treasure can measure the lives of me and Fili."

"I will remember this kindness, you will always be a friend of our Turin family."

Thorin Oakenshield said and looked at Balin and Devalin.

The two future high-ranking officials of the Yamashita Kingdom immediately smiled and nodded slightly to Morgan.

Thorin Oak Shield then continued: "We have no intention of using treasure to repay our kindness, and the fifteenth is just the Morgan you deserve."

"We have signed a contract, you won't let me break the contract, will you?"

Thorin Oakshield said with a smile.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Talking about breach of contract, promises, etc., it seems that Thorin Oakenshield clearly remembers his behavior when he was not sober.

Listening to Thorin Oakenshield said here, what can Morgan say.

He nodded, then smiled: "It was you, Sorin, who gave me the opportunity to participate in this great expedition."

"I thought it would be the most unforgettable experience of my life and the right choice because it was so lucrative."

"If there is another time, please don't forget me."

"Ha ha."

As soon as Morgan's voice fell, Whitebeard Balin immediately laughed.

Gandalf laughed too.

Bilbo and Dwarin Thorin Oakenshield all laughed too.

At this moment, the whole room was filled with joyful laughter.

at this time.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.

Several people turned their heads.

I saw the dwarf Ge Luoyin with long red hair and red beard walking in.

Seeing Morgan and Gandalf Bilbo in the room, their eyes lit up immediately. After saying hello, he looked at Thorin Oak Shield on the bed and said, "The banquet hall for the evening has been arranged."

Thorin Oakenshield nodded, then looked at Balin.

He was not injured lightly, and Bahrain's affairs in the kingdom were basically managed by Bahrain. Naturally, Bahrain was in charge of such major events as the carnival at night.

Balin looked at Ge Luoyin and said, "Dain and the others have worked hard this time. We must ensure the supply of wine and meat for the evening."

"Go and have a look, you can't go wrong with the dinner."

"Well, I'll go right now."

Groyin nodded, and then greeted Morgan Gandalf.

Groyin left quickly.

Just like Buffalo before.

Seeing this, Morgan understands that it seems that the dwarves who participated in the expedition should all be appointed to various positions at this time.

With the departure of Ge Luoyin.

The room chatted again.

Because of the biggest problem, Thorin Oakenshield agreed to share the treasure of the surviving residents of Long Lake Town under the leadership of Human Bard.

The next group of people chatting very harmoniously.

Just chatting and chatting and talking about things in River Valley Town.

When Thorin Oakenshield talked about how much treasure he would give to Bard and other residents.

Morgan shut up decisively this time.

Gandalf, too, did not comment only if what Bilbo seemed to want to say was hinted at by Gandalf.

But when Thorin Oakenshield asked Morgan directly.

Morgan, who couldn't avoid it, said that it was up to Thorin and Bud to discuss it.

It does.

The surviving residents of Long Lake Town, whose homeland was destroyed by the dragon Smaug, is miserable enough.

This time it was invaded by orcs again.

Plus the redevelopment of the sprawling river valley town.

The amount of treasure required for this is absolutely sky-high.

Once Morgan is involved.

Thorin Oakenshield has given more treasures, and his heart may not be happy.

If you give less, Bud may not have enough.

In short, no matter what, Morgan's involvement may hurt his feelings with Thorin Oakenshield and Bard.

So don't get involved and let them decide for themselves is the best way.

Gandalf was obviously aware of the problem, so he didn't even let Bilbodo say it.

See Morgan is really reluctant to talk about this issue.

Thorin Oakenshield had to give up.

This problem passed quickly.

The group continued to chat.

at the same time.

North of Raven Hill.

On the vast wilderness battlefield.

Orc corpses are everywhere.

Different from the Lonely Mountain battlefield, it is the iron hill dwarves and the wood elves, as well as the army of humans and half-orcs.

Raven Hill is a vast battlefield.

It was sheer swarms of giant eagles that defeated the Orc army from Mount Gundabad.

Therefore, the battlefield is full of corpses left by orcs.

The female elf Tariel was standing in the center of the battlefield at this time, commanding a group of wood elf warriors beside him to carry the armor and weaponry from the corpse of the orcs.

on the other side of the battlefield.

The dwarven warriors of the Iron Hills were also busy.

It took more than half a day.

The half-orc corpse and equipment on this vast battlefield were basically stripped away by the two armies.

Compared to the Lonely Mountain battlefield.

There are significantly fewer orc corpses on the Raven Hill battlefield.

After all, the reason for the defeat of these orcs from Gundabad was that the morale of the giant eagles was completely defeated, and then they fled.

Frontal killing and pursuit of troops without ground.

This half-orc army escaped at least more than half of the orc army.

But this is also impossible.

After all, it was only with the help of the giant eagle yesterday that the Lonely Mountain battlefield narrowly defeated the army of half-orcs.

There is simply no extra power to attack the Orcs on the northern battlefield of Raven Hill.

The Wood Elves and Iron Hills dwarven warriors are clearing and carrying the last of the Orc weapons.

As the troops on both sides began to withdraw.

A large number of black scavenger birds circling the sky began to fly down quickly.

Various animals lingering on the edge of the battlefield also began to boldly enter the battlefield.

Orc corpses on this battlefield do not need to be disposed of.

Because there will be various scavengers flying in the sky, running on the ground, and even crawling in the soil, and will be very happy to dispose of these corpses quickly.

The last glimpse of Tariel leading the Wood Elves out of the battlefield.

What I saw were all kinds of birds and animals frantically pecking and biting the corpses of the orcs.

Time passed slowly.

The light cluster in the sky began to slant westward.

The sun is gradually getting colder.

The two long troops that returned full of victories entered the gates of River Valley Town and Gushan Eribo respectively.

Outside the lonely mountain, the sky is getting darker and darker.

In the lonely mountain, it is already a bright light.

Deep in the lonely mountain, there is a vast space full of stone tables and stone benches.

There was a lot of noise at this time.

The surrounding walls were filled with burning oil-stained torches and braziers.

A large number of dwarves carrying various food and drinks shuttle back and forth.

The dwarven warriors who cleared the battlefield have returned.

The post-war revelry of the Lonely Mountain dwarves is about to begin.

When Morgan and Gandalf Bilbo arrived at the meeting place with Thorin Oakenshield and Dwaring Groimbofo and several dwarves.

Only then did I realize that the dwarves' carnival feast was indeed not something that could be compared to the humble party in Riverdale Town last night.

This is apparently the place where the great banquet was held in the former Yamashita Kingdom.

Looking around, the surrounding space is extremely wide, and all the stone tables and benches are neatly arranged on the ground.

At this time, these stone tables were filled with all kinds of food and drinks.

Morgan looked up and saw that the food on the stone table included smoked fish, smoked sausage, smoked ham, salami, cheese, white bread, dried tomatoes, potato pie, and various pork and lamb steaks.

There are also a variety of red wine, wine, fruit wine and so on.

All in all, it was the most food Morgan came to the world to see on the table.

With the three identities of Morgan and Gandalf Bilbo, naturally they would not sit with these ordinary dwarves.

Just as Morgan followed Thorin. Oak Shield and kept walking to the front high place.

The dwarf Kili suddenly strode up from behind.

"I finally found you, teacher."

Kili stood in Morgan, panting, and said, "Someone is looking for you."

Morgan asked suspiciously, "Who?"

Kili continued: "That female elf"
