Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 90
The next day, and even the next two days.

Many people were beheaded!

Many were sentenced to hang!

Because during the Night of the Long Sword, the elves and human rangers led by Fenner came back too quickly and in too much haste, and almost all the spies hidden in the crowd were thrown into prison along with the rioting people.

Even due to the large number of people, the cells of Annuminas were not enough for a time during that time.

In the end, Fina ordered Hal Barad to open up a large area in the road of kings on the fourth floor (where the tombs of the kings of Arnor are located) to detain the prisoners of that night.

At that time, the people of Anuminas did not expect that the matter would be so serious.

Until a few days later, the figure of the silver-white King Wei'an reappeared in the King's Tower.And after issuing those three cruel orders, everyone knew what the majesty of the king was all about.

No one can deny it, and no one has been wronged.

Maybe there is.Perhaps their original intention was only out of respect and love for the silver king and fear of death, which made them do some evil things that seemed too reckless and impulsive in hindsight.

But they did have some innocent blood on their hands.

Or, their own.

And the silver king's order is very clear.

"Behead the instigator!"

"Those with blood on their hands will be hanged!"

Just like those spies, hundreds of impulsive elements who were bewitched, or thugs who were simply dazzled by fear, were all tortured under the majestic eyes of Turka Arakano Pulled out.

Then Ming canonical punishment.

On that day, hundreds of lives were terminated. Some of them cried bitterly or collapsed in fear under the knife of the executioner Sen Leng, and staged a shocking and bloody farce.

But no matter whether it is a spies who collapsed and cursed, or a thug who suddenly awakened, they cannot escape the knife in the end.

By the end, the ground near the scaffold in Lower Town was almost drenched with blood, and you could still see clots of blood clotted in those icy cracks in the floorboards years later.

All this was witnessed that day by a thousand subjects and elves of Annuminas.Everyone has a deeper understanding of the stalwart figure standing on the tower of the king.

The silver king may be merciful to all living beings, but he is definitely not a weak person.For those who challenge his authority, Turka Arakano has only one decision, and that is to completely end his life!
It was also at that time that the laws of the new northern kingdom began to be gradually established, and the majesty of the royal family was established.Since then, no one dared to challenge the king's order.

The elves may have been uncomfortable, but in the end the Firstborn accepted the rule of Turka Arakano.

Because in this era, the silver king represents the destiny of the chosen one.

Turka has been watching the scenes in the lower city with his own eyes from the Tower of the King, witnessing the passing of every life.

This is his decision, and he will bear the consequences of these orders.

Hundreds of people were executed at one time, not on the battlefield, but were beheaded and hanged as prisoners, and then thrown into mass graves outside the city for a hasty burial.It's hard to say that this kind of cruelty that decides people's lives with one word has not touched the souls of other worlds that originally grew up in peaceful times.

In particular, many of these were originally his subjects.

"People's hearts are so fragile. So is human life!" He said to the female elves who had been by his side all the time: "Maybe they never thought that they had escaped from Mordor, but they still died meaninglessly in their homeland. The place."

The scene of mass execution of prisoners really made Fenner very uncomfortable. The elves are a race close to nature and love life. There has never been such a cruel scene in their history.

But at the same time, she also knew that the Dragonborn had done nothing wrong.These people were indeed bewitched by Sauron's spies, but their hands were indeed stained with the blood of innocent people. If they were spared, then who should avenge the innocent people who fell under their hands?
Therefore, Fenner could only hold his hand tightly, staring at his cold vertical pupils with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "No matter what, Okriam, I will always be with you. "

Turka looked down at her, didn't speak, but held the female elf's slender catkin tightly.

Just like that, the two stood in front of the window and watched the execution from beginning to end.

Two days later, the brown-robed wizard finally lifted the shadow that hung over Annuminas.With the efforts of the wizard and the silver king, many patients stood up again, and they recovered their health, just like before the disease.

No one fell to the ground inexplicably and lost their lives.

As a result, the northern kingdom, which was still somewhat chaotic, began to calm down slowly - the silver king did not expand the situation, and his third order was very clear: the kidnapped are innocent!
Many of the people who gathered in the King's Ring that night were not stained with guards, or their own blood, nor did they really oppose the King's rule, so after executing the thugs and spies, many people were sent home ——Although they did experience an inexplicable prison disaster, compared with those guys who lost their heads, they were much happier.

As a result, most of the surviving people expressed their gratitude and praise for the majestic gaze and magnanimous means of King Yinbai, and smiles appeared on people's faces again, and the once harmonious and happy singing slowly resounded on the shore of Nengwei'ao Lake.

Yes, life goes on anyway.

The only pity is that the culprit of all this, the fallen blue-robed wizard Aratar, seems to have really left the north.

Or hide.

Through the crystal ball of true knowledge on the King's Tower, Turka continued to patrol the mountains and hills, lakes and rivers, plains and valleys in the north, but no trace of the blue-robed wizard was found.

Radagast also mobilized his animal companions to search around, but there was no news.

It seemed that this dangerous wizard also noticed the return of the silver-white king, and immediately hid if he missed a hit, and hid in a dark cave that neither the brown-robed wizard nor the silver-white king could detect.

But thankfully, the corrupted blue-robed wizards are no longer a threat to the North, at least for a short time.

Turka was also relieved to see the people live and work in peace and contentment again.

Because he had wasted too much time in the north, if the predictions were correct, the dwarves and Bilbo should have almost reached the Lonely Mountain, and a arduous battle was about to await him in the distance.

In fact, our Master Baggins has successfully harnessed the power of the Lord of the Rings while Turka Arakano was clearing the land of certain gores in the north, and Gandalf the Gray was caught in the machinations of the White City , and rescued Thorin and the Dwarves from their palace in the Woodland Kingdom.

The process is basically known to many people.

That is to use the opportunity of the elves to trade with the humans in Changhu Town, to escape from the elf king's wine cellar through the empty barrels, along the underground waterway, and escape by barrel.

"Turin's beard is on the top! I hate wine! I will never drink a single drop of wine in my life!" Bofur got out of a big wooden barrel in a panic. Not only was his body covered with the smell of alcohol, And the stale air made him almost breathless.

"I hate apples!"

"I hate cheese!"

"My wooden barrel is full of fresh fish, and my body is full of fishy smell! I swear in the name of Mahal, whoever dares to say the word fish in front of me in the future, my ax will definitely let him know what a dwarf is." anger!"

The dwarves came out of one big barrel after another like gophers one by one, embarrassed and angry.

Many of them had bruises on their foreheads, noses, hands and feet during the bumpy 'journey', so please forgive these poor dwarves, their suffering is not just a simple comfort can ignore the past.

As for Sorin, he got out of a large wooden barrel that originally contained nuts angrily. On his beard and hair, there were a few nuts and straws that escaped the eyes of the elves, and there were several scratches on the corners of his eyes and lips. Mark of.

"Mr. Baggins, I hope that if there is another similar escape plan, please discuss it with us first! Dwarves are not goods, stuffing us into barrels? Well, you can figure it out! I warn you, don't take this It is an order to write things into your book!"

Bilbo looked at them with a smile, and in his heart he was proud of being a hero for a while, but also helpless at Thorin's inexplicable temper at him.

"If you have a better idea, please say so! I'll be glad to oblige!" said the hobbit, taking a rare turn of force. The hero who came out said thank you, because he deserved it!"

The dwarves were all dumbfounded.

"Then! Thank you, Master Baggins!" Old Bahrain was the first to break the awkward atmosphere. He always jumped out wisely when he needed it the most, and eased the relationship between everyone, although his white beard was full of humor. It's the leaves and the bad smell: "When the dwarves needed it most, you extended a helping hand in time, and this will be remembered forever!"

Thorin, who was also the wise king at that time, said: "Excuse me for my temper, the dwarves are grateful for your help! Bilbo, you will have my friendship, by Turin's beard! Yes, I appreciate it You did all this!"

The other dwarves were also grateful to our hobbit, but the bumpy journey made them not so happy.Now that Balin and Thorin had spoken, the dwarves thanked Bilbo politely as they did when they first met at the gate of Bag End, and praised his idea of ​​escape by barrel this time as a whimsical and wonderful idea.

This rather embarrassed Bilbo, and he said, "Oh, I was only joking! I wouldn't put that scene in a book! I mean: You're welcome!"

It was also at this time, as the fog slowly dissipated, at the end of the northeast corner of the sky, a mountain that plunged into the clouds suddenly jumped out!
This mountain is so majestic, it stands alone, like a giant between heaven and earth!Even though it is so far away, the sky is still full of its appearance.

"Look! Lonely Mountain!"

The taciturn Oin was the first to notice it. He opened his mouth wide and looked devastated.

The voice was more magical than all the beautiful words the dwarves had ever heard.Almost everyone stood up in unison, and turned their heads to look in the northeast direction.

Then they all stood on the spot as if they had lost their souls!

Bahrain's big nose became sore, the beard on his lips trembled, and his eyes became inexplicably wet: "Shorin, that's a lonely mountain! I haven't seen that mountain for nearly 200 years. Shadows! The sound of the dwarves hammering the hammer and the chisel in that mountain has been echoing in my mind, and it has never stopped."

Thorin was also trembling with excitement, and tightly grasped his cousin's arm, his eyes also turned red.

Bilbo could understand the emotions of the dwarves, and he was also overwhelmed by the lonely mountain in the sky, and as the dwarves began to sob like evil one by one, he also began to miss Shire and Bag End. Family.But he had to pour cold water on him and said: "Gentlemen, I have a question. How do we get there? We don't have a boat! And all our weapons are lost. The Elf King will not be so generous and return all our weapons. Bar?"

Only then did the dwarves wake up from their inexplicable emotions. They looked at Master Baggins with a hint of displeasure in their eyes.

Ah, it's really not so opportune to be thrown cold water at such a time.

"We can go to Changhu Town to replenish supplies!"

Duvalin proposed.

The place where the dwarves escaped is not far from the long lake, and a few miles to the east, the Jungle River flows into the long lake that the elves call Esgalos, and a few miles north along the long lake is the abandoned River Valley City .

And the gate of the Dwarf Kingdom is not far from River Valley City.

See, fate often seems illusory, but in fact, if you really study it seriously, it is actually in every inevitable choice.

"That's it!"

Sorin and the others were wet and cold, and they had no weapons or supplies. Apart from going to the human town of Long Lake, where could they go?So, everyone simply tidied up and set off.

At this time, Thranduil also received news that the dwarves had escaped from the cellar.

While the Elf King was furious, he quickly said: "Let them go! Since the dwarves think it is very easy to challenge the dragon, let them try it themselves! Maybe we can also step on their corpses, Harvest the final victory!"

But Legolas said: "We have done a dishonorable thing, and we are entrusted by the silver king!"

He begged the Elven King to send troops to support the dwarves.Or, at least allow yourself to help Thorin and the others.

But Thranduil refused.

He said: "The dwarves are selfish and greedy, and don't care about good intentions! Didn't I offer them cooperation with great kindness? I even entertained them with the greatest enthusiasm, and almost emptied the wine cellar! The food also There was no shortage! But look how the stubborn King of the Mountain returned the kindness of the Elves! He cursed me in my palace, cursed the kingdom of the woodlands! Then, like a thief, he stole my casks, Secret Road has escaped, is this what the guests should do?"

Seeing that he couldn't convince his father, Legolas could only sneak out of the Elven King's palace secretly in anger, preparing to head to the Lonely Mountain alone.

Tao Ruier noticed his actions and had no time to report to the king, so he had to follow.
