The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 122 Selfless Dedication
River Valley City.

Rivendell's camp.

At this time, Gao Yuan and others were sitting around the campfire in front of the campfire, each holding a skewer in their hands.

Arwen snuggled into Gao Yuan's arms, playing with his Adam's apple with her fingertips.

Gao Yuan took off the roasted corn skewered on the evening star blade.

Break off the corn kernels one by one, and gently feed them into Arwen's delicate lips.

The other three people were eating the skewers in their hands, looking at the scene in front of them, they felt very uncomfortable.

"I don't think it's been a long time since we sat around the campfire like this, have we?" Gandalf tried to break the awkward atmosphere.

Only then did Gao Yuan raise his head and look at the three single dogs with embarrassing faces.

"Indeed, it's been a long time since we parted at the campfire after Rivendell. It would be better if Bilbo were here, for he always has a good seasoning out of his knapsack."

Gao Yuan began to miss those days living with them in the wild.

Little did they know that Bilbo, who had left the Lonely Mountain for more than two hours, had already found their camp.

Wearing the Lord of the Rings in his hand, he escaped one elf patrol after another, as well as secret whistles, and no one noticed his arrival.

He traveled through the streets of River Valley City, and finally found the location of Gao Yuan and the others. He was delighted to find that Gao Yuan and Gandalf were sitting together in front of the bonfire.

He also happened to hear it, and Gao Yuan mentioned himself to Gandalf.

It's just a pity that he didn't bring his condiments with him when he came out this time.

Bilbo decided to give them a surprise. He quietly hid in the stone pillar behind Gao Yuan, and took off the Supreme Lord of the Rings in his hand.

Just when Gandalf was still trying to say something to break the awkward atmosphere.

But suddenly Bilbo sprang up from behind the pillar, and cried, "I heard your master snitch mentioned."

All the people around the bonfire were startled by Bilbo who jumped out suddenly. Arwen was so frightened that she jumped up from Gao Yuan's arms and hit Gao Yuan's chin.

"Bilbo Baggins! You bloody snitch, you nearly blew my heart out!" Gandalf yelled at Bilbo, who was so frightened.

Gao Yuan clutched his chin in pain, and had to comfort Arwen who hit his head. You must know that Gao Yuan's body had been baptized by dragon blood at this time.

Arwen's head hit Gao Yuan's chin, as if hitting a hard rock.

"Bilbo, if you jump out like this next time, I'll have to tie a bell around your neck." Gao Yuan said angrily.

Bilbo didn't take the complaints of the two old friends to heart, but smiled and looked at Gandalf: "Long time no see, Gandalf."

"It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Baggins, it seems that you have grown a lot." Gandalf smiled and took out his pipe, and handed it to Bilbo, asking if he would like to take a sip, "Would you like to take a sip?" , the finest pipe herb from the Shire."

Bilbo shook his head; he wasn't in the habit of smoking someone else's pipe.

"Bilbo, why did you suddenly appear here? I think you should stay in the Lonely Mountain." Gandalf asked.

After Gandalf's reminder, Bilbo remembered the purpose of his trip to River Valley City.

He looked at Gao Yuan who was still gently kneading Arwen's head.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, I think the gem I gave you should still be on your body at this time?" Bilbo asked.

Gandalf frowned: "What gem?"

"It's the gem of Arken that Sorin was thinking about. Before leaving the Lonely Mountain, Bilbo handed it into my hands." Gao Yuan gave Bilbo a blank look, and answered Gandalf's question.

He reached into his bosom, and took out the gem that shone brightly with starlight.

"I have kept it safe all the time. Although I almost lost it when I killed the evil dragon, Mr. Bud, who has always collected gold, returned it to me." Gao Yuan glanced at it and sat aside without saying a word. Fat Bud.

Seeing Gao Yuan take out the Aken gemstone from his arms, everyone's eyes were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a beautiful gemstone.

"What are you going to do with this gem, Bilbo?" asked Gandalf curiously.

Bilbo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I want to put an end to this senseless quarrel, and I want to speak to the King of the Woodlands."

Gandalf heard what Bilbo wanted to do, and he patted Bilbo on the back and said, "Well done, Bilbo!"

"No, I mean, you made the right choice. It seems that this trip has indeed made you grow a lot."

In this way, Gao Yuan and the others returned to the golden tent in Thranduil again, but there were more hobbits on this trip.

"That's it. I'm tired of this journey. I think this journey is over after the evil dragon in that lonely mountain was killed by Mr. Gao Yuan. I hope to end all this as soon as possible and return to the I'm at home in the West."

Standing in front of Thranduil, Bilbo spoke eloquently. This was a rare highlight moment in his life. All the people present, who were bigwigs, were quietly waiting for his speech to end.

"According to my contract with Sorin, I own one-fifteenth of the treasure of the Lonely Mountain, and I still keep this contract with me."

As he spoke, Bilbo took out from his jacket pocket the contract he had signed with Thorin at Bag End in May of this year.

At this time, the contract was already crumpled, but it did not prevent everyone from seeing the terms clearly. Gao Yuan also had the same contract.

"Please note that what is marked here is one-fifteenth of the net profit." Bilbo continued, "I hope that this one-fifteenth of the net profit can be used to make up for those who suffered because of the dragon." Residents of Changhu Town, and the white gemstone necklace in exchange for Your Majesty the Elven King."

"Of course, I will also need a small part of it myself, and use it as my real reward for this journey." Of course, it is impossible for Bilbo to hand over all he deserves at once, and he himself has a little bit of selfishness. .

"However, at this moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get the rewards that belong to me. I'm afraid you don't know Thorin Oakenshield as well as I do. As long as you are still here, he will not show those treasures. He would rather sit Starving on those mountains of gold and silver."

"He will never compromise. If you want to get his treasure, you have to step over his and other dwarf corpses." Bilbo has been by Thorin's side in recent days, and Thorin's obsession with treasure , he couldn't understand it better.

"It won't get to that point." Bud said, "We respect Mr. Gao Yuan's wishes and won't kill them directly, but they can't win this battle, and their food won't last long."

"You're right, Thorin and they won't last long," said Bilbo, "but Thorin has his own plans, and he's not a fool."

"Winter has come, and it has become very difficult to trust your supplies, and everyone present will be no exception. I wonder if you have heard of the names Ironfoot Dyne and Iron Hill Dwarf?" Bilbo looked Ask everyone.

"I've heard the name long ago, but what do the dwarves of the Iron Hills have to do with our supplies?" Thranduil asked.

"The information I brought you is unknown to you. Ironfoot Dyne has led more than 2000 dwarves from the Iron Hills to the Lonely Mountain at Thorin's request to support them. At this time, the distance from the Lonely Mountain is not enough. Two days' journey," said Bilbo triumphantly, and he was glad to see the surprise on the Elf-King's face.

"Many of them are elite soldiers who participated in the battle with the orcs in Moria. They will block your supply line, so you won't last long."

Thranduy was furious when he heard the words, he slammed on the armrest of the bench below him, smashing the armrest into pieces.

"How dare he! We kept our promise and didn't enter the lonely mountain to rob, but they wanted to kill us."

Thranduil roared, and then he looked at Gao Yuan standing behind Bilbo.

"It's not that we broke our promise first, Mr. Gao Yuan, but that the dwarves have threatened our safety."

"Starting tomorrow, we will launch an attack on the Lonely Mountain, and then we will go back and fight the dwarves of the Iron Hills!"

Thranduil has decided not to abide by their agreement with Gao Yuan anymore. After learning the news of Ironfoot Dyne, they and the dwarves have completely broken their faces.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to fight Gao Yuan and his Rivendell elves, and to kill the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain.

"King of the Woodlands, please don't be so hasty! I have never met such a hasty fellow as you." Bilbo stopped explaining in a soft voice, and shouted to Thranduil.

Thranduil took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.For a moment, the anger of the elf king really calmed Bilbo.

"This time I came late at night to solve this series of troubles." Seeing that the Elven King had died down, Bilbo continued.

"What are you going to do?" Thranduil asked.

Bilbo looked at Gao Yuan standing behind him, Gao Yuan understood what he meant, took out the Aken gem from his pocket, and put it on the wooden table in front of everyone.

The Elven King has lived for an unknown number of years, and he has seen all kinds of priceless treasures, but when Gao Yuan took out the Aken gem, he still couldn't restrain his excitement after all.

Thranduy stood up abruptly, staring dumbfounded at the gem on the table.

Even Bud, who had just seen this gem, couldn't help but want to take another look at the Arken gem

This is a ball that seems to be filled with moonlight, wrapped in a net woven by starlight.

"This is the heirloom diamond that Thorne left behind," said Bilbo. "The Heart of the Mountain—the Arken Stone."

"This is also the treasure that Thorin has always dreamed of. Compared with those mountains of gold and silver, he values ​​this more." Bilbo continued, "I put this gem into your hands, and it will let you live forever." I have a great advantage in the negotiation, and use it in exchange for the share of the treasure that originally belonged to me."

Bard was astounded that Bilbo had just put the Arken Stone into their hands so easily.

"Can you decide the ownership of this gem?" Bud managed to squeeze out the question.

"So you are worried about this!" Bilbo smiled slightly. "It is true that I should not decide the ownership of this gem, but it is one of the agreed terms of the transaction in the contract I signed with Thorin."

"According to the conditions of the contract, use the Aken gemstone in exchange for my due reward, one-fifteenth of the treasure of the Lonely Mountain."

"It's very fair."
