Chapter 1121 1103 Do you think it’s difficult?


Chapter 1121 1103. Do you think it’s difficult?

“Do you know what you are doing, Thorin? You can’t go on like this. This is tantamount to declaring war!”

On the city wall , Bilbo's hair was disheveled, his clothes were dusty and dirty, and he looked at the abnormal Thorin with an expression that said, "I just don't know what to say."

These days, since they drove away Smaug, they have spent most of the time in the treasure room of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, rummaging and searching in the golden mountains and silver seas, hoping to find the king's gem.

Not to mention the strong dragon stench left by Smaug, even the ashes accumulated over the years on the golden mountains and silver seas are enough to make people uncomfortable.

The hobbits were still shocked and obsessed with this spectacular wealth at first, but within a few hours, Bilbo was already thinking wildly in his mind whether he could exchange a bowl-sized gem for a pure mouthful. Shire tobacco leaves.

And Elbor is too big. There are only a dozen of them in total, and they are all looking for gems.

In the past few days, there was not even a place to rest. The living conditions in the entire Gushan were the same as in the primitive caves, cold and gloomy.

It's like Thorin's dark circles getting deeper and deeper.

"This has nothing to do with you, Baggins."

Thorin looked coldly at the River Valley City in the distance, but the dwarves who would have united around him at this time in the past just lowered their heads and said nothing.

“Oh, I think you might need a little reminder!”

Bilbo said with a sinister and angry smile.

"There is an elven army outside, as well as hundreds of homeless fishermen, full of anger and desire to survive! But we only have a dozen dwarves. We...we can be said to be outnumbered!"< br>
But when the hobbit said this, Thorin chuckled and shook his head.

"This situation will change soon."

"What?" Bilbo looked at a loss, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong. "What do you mean?"

"It means: Master Baggins." Thorin walked up to the hobbit and patted him on the shoulder, "Never underestimate a dwarf."

" I don’t mean to look down on the dwarves, but your temporary city wall is really not very high.”

As soon as Thorin finished speaking, there was a sound from the top of their temporary city wall, and the dwarves were immediately stunned. There was a small commotion.

They subconsciously raised their weapons and were on guard in the direction of the sound, but when they turned around, they unconsciously lowered the weapons in their hands slightly.

Lan En jumped down lightly from the top of the city wall.

The scattered armor was put back together, and with only his left arm armor remaining, his [Light Body Technique] was put into better use.

"You should all know that elves are as light as falling leaves, right? For this kind of city wall, what will happen even if you smash the bridge on the moat? Can't people just jump up?"< br>
Lan En said in a relaxed tone.

Most of the dwarves did not dare to look up at him.

This is not out of fear.

In order to go home, the dwarves dared to face the evil dragon.

Although Lann killed the dragon, whether it was Lann or Smaug, did their power make any difference to these dwarves?

They formed the restoration expedition team with the mentality of facing death.

What makes them afraid to face Lan En now is the guilt of being friends.

The witcher helped them a lot along the way, and he was sincere.

He spoke for the dwarves in Rivendell, and Balin and Thorin told all the dwarves at that time.

Later, he went to Changhu Town to help them solve many problems and provided reminders and help.

When Kili and the others came back, they told everyone that they had invited Lan En to be a guest in the King's Hall in Lonely Mountain. All the dwarves were really happy and even wanted to clean up the King's Hall immediately.

But now they meet again, but

"Do you have anything to say, Kili? Fili?"

Lan tilted his head and looked at the two dwarf brothers, who blushed. Keep your head down.

The witcher turned to the other side.

"Or what are you going to say, Bofur? Oin?"

The dwarf who needed a loudspeaker hearing aid simply did not dare to insert the hearing aid into his ears, and Bofur even cursed "damn it" in a low voice.

The dwarves are stubborn, but also sincere and good-tempered. The current situation makes several dwarves seem to rather fight the trolls with bare hands.

"They have nothing to say. They are loyal to their king."

Thorin walked up from behind the crowd. He remained silent and saw that Kili and Fili were almost ashamed and angry. He threw the weapon on the ground.

Thorin looked up at the witcher.

"I have nothing to say, Lan En."

The calico kitten squeezed out from the crowd, ran to his boss on all fours, and stood next to Lan En's legs.

Lan En rubbed the flannel ball's head, and Ellecat crossed her hips and looked at Thorin with a more serious and confident expression.

It originally had a good impression of the dwarves. The informality and generous character of these dwarves made it feel like it was facing the hunters of the New World.

But there is no doubt that Thorin's behavior has completely changed in the past few days.

"It's the same sentence. I'm very grateful that you once spoke for me and helped us."

Thorin, who was already dressed in luxurious clothes and looked different from the past, looked at the witcher. His eyes were the same as those he had just said to Bard. There is a big difference in speaking, with sincerity. Lan En noticed Thorin's thick dark circles under his eyes and the increase in white hair on his forehead.

“I will share the treasure of Gushan with you, because you help us without asking for anything in return and sincerely, then I will repay you sincerely.”
< br>"But I will never give it to anyone else! The people in Lake Town want gold, and they say I promised it to them."

"But what else could I do but say that at that time? We were isolated and in dire straits! We could only trade our future for the hope of the present! The dwarves of the Lonely Mountain have been in this situation for so long!"

"We can only use the gold that belongs to us in exchange for help! They saw that I was on the verge of desperation, so they took the opportunity to raise a price. What kind of fair deal is this? Why should I keep such a promise?"

The dwarves sipped Mouth, Thorin's words did remind them of the difficult life they had.

The Lonely Mountain dwarves were originally rich and powerful, but once they lost their home, the rapidly worsening contrast in their lives made them even more uncomfortable.

But Lan En's expression remained calm.

"But Thorin, is this why you don't want to pay gold to the people of Changhu Town? It sounds reasonable. It is indeed shameless to take advantage of others' danger and buy and sell by force."

However, Hunter The demon still used his excellent reasoning skills to find the loopholes in Thorin's words.

"So Lin, were the townspeople forcing you to go to the Lonely Mountain?"

The face of the king under the mountain, which was originally as cold as a rock, suddenly froze.

Kelan En kept talking.

"It is you who want to restore the country, and you who want the dwarves of Lonely Mountain to rise again. So you have to enter Lonely Mountain before Turin Day. This crisis and this urgent time limit are all due to your own decision. Set it up for yourself.”

“You chose a dangerous but rewarding path, and the people in Changhu Town offered help and asked for reward. Isn’t it reasonable that they didn’t create the crisis? , forcing you to go and pay."

"Or are they asking for unreasonable rewards?"

"Because your adventure has attracted orcs and evil dragons, and the whole town is in trouble. Destroyed. The gold they want now is only enough to rebuild their home. It's too much to call it 'compensation', it's just 'compensation'."

In Lan En's calm words, Thorin's eyes flickered and he tightened. pursed his lips tightly.

His expression was finally similar to that of other dwarves, but he was still more stubborn and stubborn.

"After all, it's for gold! It's for generous rewards! Isn't it?!"

Lan stopped speaking and looked deeply at the current Thorin Oakenshield. After a long time, he sighed.

"If you insist on looking at the problem from this perspective, Thorin. In that case, give the share you promised me to the people in Lake Town."
< br>The dwarves, including the hobbits, looked at Lan in surprise.

Among them, Thorin's eyes were even more unbelievable. He didn't believe that anyone in this world would refuse a mountain of gold.

But Lan En still said that.

"Those townspeople are homeless. If they don't have money, many people will die this winter."

Thorin's originally cold and stoic expression now showed signs of wavering visible to the naked eye.

Pity, guilt, and bewilderment were all complex expressions on his face.

But at the same time, there is also painful self-struggle.

It was as if these emotions were about to tear him apart from the inside.

Part of him did feel these feelings, and another part of him objected.

“No, no, no!”

Thorin shook his head in a daze, approached Lan En and pulled his arm and shouted.

"You can't give it to them! This is our gold! It was the gold that we worked hard and took risks together! It's ours, it belongs only to us!"

"There is no 'us', Thorin ·Oak Shield. "

Lan En pulled out his hand, and Thorin's already vain steps suddenly swayed to the side. Fortunately, he was supported by Groin beside him and did not fall down.

"You can't give me the gold, and I can't hand it over to you. I'm obviously disposing of my own property, right?"

Lan En's face was expressionless at this time, but anyone can do it. You could tell he was angry.

His tone was indeed no longer as calm as before, but angry.

"Do you have to start a war? Do you have to kill people?"

"Just for gold? This gold is even more important than the family reputation of your Turin clan? Are you kidding? Do I laugh, Thorin Oakenshield!"

"I promised you in Rivendell that when I first met you, you would be ready because I was here to help. Come back and help me after you escape! I thought you were a responsible dwarf hero!"

"What now?"

"You are withholding the gold you promised to a group of people who became refugees because of you!"

"Do you really think it will be difficult for me to come in and get the gold?!"
