Chapter 1098 1080 Gushan Gold!


Chapter 1098 1080. Lonely Mountain Gold!

Thorin and Balin were dwarves from the Lonely Mountain who lived here before Smaug's raid.

Still a high-ranking dwarf.

Other dwarves also know the road generally, but they are certainly not as detailed as the two of them.

So after entering the secret door, the two of them behaved very familiarly, and their past memories of Gushan were being recollected by them.

According to the plan that Thorin and Gandalf made together, the dwarves whose scent was recorded by the evil dragon can no longer go deep into the Lonely Mountain.

The dragon's senses are otherworldly. It is best for them to stay in a small remote area not far from the secret door to prevent Smaug from being awakened.

So Balin was the only one, taking the flannel ball and Bilbo who were probing their heads to continue walking into the Lonely Mountain.

Originally Thorin also wanted to lead the way.

But Balin and Velvet Ball grabbed the corners of his clothes almost at the same time. The dwarf prince looked at El Cat and his old dwarf friend, and finally agreed after pursing his lips.

Don’t you know that you are also aware of the [Dragon Disease] spread in your family? Still, he overcame his urgent homesickness and rationally waited until he got the gems and assembled an army, then came back to see his former home.

After taking Flannel Ball and Bilbo for a long time deeper into the winding mountain, they found another rock wall corridor extending in all directions.

But Bahrain looked at the intersection directly ahead, carefully bowing his waist and lowering his voice.

It seems that I am a little worried about Smaug finding out here.

"So." Balin's actions made Bilbo nervous. He looked around habitually and whispered.

"We went down to find a gem? Just a gem, right?"

"Yes. A big white, bright and shiny gem."

Balin's eyes looked at Bilbo Go back and forth with the flannel ball, making sure they both heard you clearly.

“Is that meow?” Linbu Ball scratched his triangular ears with his paws, “But as you said before, the treasures in Gushan are super huge! There must be a lot of gems!”

Flannel Ball prolonged his voice to emphasize his doubts.

But Bahrain remained unmoved and even seemed confident.

"Just one piece. The Arken gemstone is unique. As long as you see it, you will never mistake it with other gemstones. There is no possibility."

"In other words, after seeing it, let If you are a little hesitant or unsure, then it’s definitely not the case.”

Bahrain’s words were decisive, as if he thought that these few sentences were completely enough to describe the Arken gem.

Elucat and the hobbit looked at each other, each pondering this sentence.

Balin took advantage of this brief silence and looked towards the end of the corridor with a very worried look.

Then as if he had made some kind of decision, he took a deep breath and spoke seriously to the flannel ball and Bilbo.

"I have to tell the truth, guys"

The old dwarf's lips moved hesitantly, and his big white beard also trembled.

“I have no idea what we will encounter if we go further down, really.”

"If you don't want to go, don't force it. No one has the right to gossip even if he shrinks in front of a dragon."

Flange Ball and Bilbo looked at each other, but unexpectedly, they always like stability and are not very courageous. The hobbit spoke first.

"No, no, no, Balin."

Bilbo's face was dull, and his eyes were wandering uneasily. He looked like he didn't know clearly what he was doing at this time. What to say' confusion.

But the words that came out of his mouth did not come from his calm and rational mind, but from his passionate heart.

"Uh, I promised to help you, my friends, regain their homeland. Since I promised, then... uh... I must do it! Hmm!"

"Although my role in the team is a snitch , but I consider myself an honest person. Hmm!"

Bilbo stuttered.

The flannel ball also jumped up next to him: "You have lost your home, and the people in Changhu Town also left their homes because of fear and fire. It was all the fault of meow! Look at me killing that evil dragon. The gem was stolen!"

Balin looked at Bilbo and the flannel ball. It took a long time for the old dwarf to suddenly come to his senses, covering his face with his sleeves and sniffling.

"Suck~ Yes. I have forgotten how brave you are."

"In this case, my two respectable gentlemen, please bring all your luck and courage!"

Amidst the buzzing sound of Bahrain, the two short figures nodded to him first, and then walked towards the depths of the lonely mountain.

Hobbits and Ellu cats have pads of flesh under their feet, so they walk silently on the rocky ground of the Lonely Mountain.

They went all the way in and down, aiming for the place Thorin and Balin told them - the treasure room of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

It is said that the place is extremely vast, and the height of the hall alone is more than 100 meters!

If you want to go down from the rock cave in the ceiling to the ground floor, you have to walk up a very long staircase. The dwarves move up the stairs like tiny ants.

The horizontal width of the treasure hall is even greater. It is supported by many huge stone pillars that cover an area as large as a house, so that the dug hall is not crushed by the weight of the solitary mountain.

Before the Gushan Kingdom was destroyed, such a huge hall was shining with golden light everywhere, and there were mountains of treasures piled up!

The further you walk toward the treasure hall, the more solemn patterns begin to appear on the originally simple rock walls.

In order to hide it, the secret door is located in a relatively edge and hidden corridor in the lonely mountain.

But the treasure hall is the essence of Gushan, and of course it will be well decorated.

With the angular style of the dwarves, straight lines made of gold are pressed against the rock wall and extend all the way as decoration.

"I said velvet ball, do you smell anything?"

Bilbo's eyes moved nervously, and he spoke softly as if he was exhaling.

"I smell it, meow. It stinks! And it's not an ordinary stench!"

Flannel Ball also meowed in a low voice, but although he said 'very stinky', as a miasma in the New World Ellu, a cat who grew up in the Valley, is still very professional in suppressing his physiological resistance.

This is a strange smell that seems to stick to rock walls, floors, and everywhere. It has strong adhesion, strong penetration, and lasts a long time.

It stands to reason that given the environment in which the flannel ball grows, it should be indifferent to the rotten smell in nature.

But this stench makes people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

“It’s the dragon stench!”

Bilbo whispered. He had been with Thorin and the others for a year, and of course he had heard the dwarf’s description of Smaug.

The stench of evil dragons is always a topic that cannot be avoided.

It is said that wherever the evil dragon has been entrenched for a long time, there will be this smell.

This is true even if the dragon does not leave food remains and excrement in the place where it lives.

"Flannel ball, let's get to the bottom of it. Have you ever stolen anything?"

The two of them didn't even make a sound of footsteps. The dead silence inside the mountain made Bilbo feel uneasy. , so he unconsciously started talking to the flannel ball.

“Of course, Meow, before I went on an adventure with the investigation team, I was a thief cat of the predatory tribe! We are very good at getting good things from monsters, lairs, and footprints in the territory!”< br>
“Although I haven’t stolen an ancient dragon yet, ordinary dragons are fine, meow!”

Bilbo nodded frequently, looking vaguely relieved.

Although he didn’t quite understand the terms ‘investigation team’, ‘predator clan’, ‘ancient dragon’, etc., he understood the ‘thief cat’.

But I didn’t expect that the kitten seemed to react suddenly after finishing speaking. Its big watery eyes suddenly opened even wider, and then it turned its head to look at Bilbo.

“Meow?!”

The hobbit suddenly became embarrassed after being seen through.

"Bilbo, have you never stolen anything?! Aren't you a master snitch?"

"Of course I am a master snitch! Of course!"

Bilbo was not confident He raised his chest and straightened his neck.

Some people will become exhausted if they feel guilty, but Bilbo is the kind of character who has to pretend to be subconscious.

But in the end, the honest hobbit still hesitated to reveal the truth.

"I, I have always been a decent person, Fluffy Ball. I never sneak around."

"Then what should I do? Meow!"

Follow Ball jumped anxiously.

It had no idea that Bilbo was a complete novice in stealing.

"Don't worry, don't worry." At this time, Bilbo put his finger in front of his lips, and pressed down with his other hand to signal the flannel ball to stabilize.

"Don't worry about me, I have a few tricks up my sleeve too! As long as I'm prepared, no one can see me!"

The small triangular ears on Fluffy Ball's frustrated head drooped down when he heard this After speaking, he raised his head with some suspicion.

“Really Meow?”

Bilbo puffed out his chest again, but he was much calmer than before.

"Believe me! I have also been traveling for a year! I must be capable!"

The hobbit and Ellu just whispered as they walked up the stairs Balin pointed out to them.

The moment they walked out of the stairwell and entered the original treasure hall of Gushan Kingdom, the conversation between them stopped abruptly.

Because unknowingly, both the hobbit and the cat were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Only the feeling of shock is left in my mind.

Because the treasure hall is indeed as huge and majestic as the dwarves described to them.

It is even more exquisite, because some of the large pillars supporting the ceiling are carved into tall dwarf warriors, while others are angular but full of solid beauty.

But even more shocking is the gold.

Countless gold is piled up and spread in this hall like an ocean!

Because the light is not strong, the mountains and seas of gold are not too splendid.

Instead, it showed a dull golden color.

But this kind of dimness makes people can't help but imagine what a spectacular scene it would be if the fire was brightly lit.

Even Elu Cat, who didn't care much about money and didn't even have much contact with it, was shocked by the scene before him.

Even the Hobbits, who like a comfortable life and pastoral scenery, were stunned.

But in less than ten seconds, Ellu Cat and the Hobbit invariably withdrew their eyes from the mountains of gold and silver, and looked at each other.

“Why don’t I feel so evil? I heard Bahrain say before that we will all lose our minds and go crazy when we come down.”

After the initial shock, Bilbo scratched his head and whispered.

Because of the stern reminders from the dwarves before, he now wonders if he is weird.

But fortunately, the flannel ball's answer made Bilbo feel a little more at ease.

"I think so too. So much gold is so dazzling, meow."

Shaking his head, the velvet ball's little paws tugged on Bilbo.

"Don't worry about the gold, let's do the work first, meow!"

"That's right, we still have a mission."
