Chapter 155 Promise
During the battle with the Ring Spirits, Gao Yuan split open the shell called the Aken Gem and took out the Silmaril hidden inside.

This made the Arken Stone, which Bilbo had exchanged for his share of the fortune, no longer exist.

Then, according to the agreement reached by Thorin, Bard and others, what should Bard exchange for the wealth they want?
Or in other words, how should I explain to the Turin dwarves?
What's more, Bard disappeared for a while during the battle on the Lonely Mountain. When the coalition forces were fighting the orcs, the holder of the Arken gem suddenly disappeared.

It is inevitable that people will suspect that he is going to take the Aken gem and fly away alone.

Bud led a group of residents of Changhu Town to look for Gaoyuan before, just to ask what to do next.

The oath he and Gandalf made to Gao Yuan on Raven Ridge determined that he could not tell others the secrets about the Silmarillion.

In this way, he was really speechless.

Once people know that the Aken gem is not in his hands, and he can't tell where the Aken gem has gone, then he will immediately become an enemy that both humans and dwarves hate.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Yuan didn't come up with a good solution. Bud kept pacing in front of him, almost making him dizzy, so how could he think of a good solution.

"Well, when Kili and the others ask about the whereabouts of the Akon gem, you tell them: I handed the gem to me on Raven Ridge, and then it was destroyed by the Witch King of Angmar in the battle with the Ringwraiths , if they don’t want to believe it, you can bring Gandalf to testify for you.” Gao Yuan finally proposed a helpless solution.

Throw this blame on yourself and the Witch King of Angmar who is already dead.

"Then what should we do with the gold and silver we deserve?" Bud's tone was a little excited, and he almost roared out.

It seemed that he cared more about the wealth he could get in exchange for the Arken gem than how to explain to the dwarves that he had lost the gem.

Bud's loud "question" made Gao Yuan frowned, and he looked at Bud seriously, his golden pupils shone with golden light under the dim light.

"Mr. Bard, please remember! The one-fifteenth of the wealth in the Lonely Mountain is not what you and the residents of Long Lake Town deserve. It is a selfless gift from Mr. Bilbo Baggins to you."

"Please don't make a mistake. Before the transaction is completed, the gold and silver do not belong to you. Their ownership still belongs to Mr. Baggins. I can ask Mr. Baggins to take back the gift to you at any time."

The terrifying golden light emitted from Gao Yuan's golden pupils made Bud tightly shut his mouth, and he even took two steps back involuntarily.

It was as if he saw that the golden dragon that soared on the battlefield today was standing in front of him.

Bud has no doubts about what Gao Yuan said, if he keeps messing around like this, he may really let Bilbo Baggins take back his gift to the residents of Changhu Town.

"Hey, I will try my best to help the residents of Changhu Town fight for the new King of the Mountain. Even if I don't win that part of the wealth for you in the end, I will take it from the share that should belong to me. Part of it will be used to compensate the residents of Changhu Town, at least enough for you to survive this severe winter and rebuild River Valley City."

Gao Yuan sighed and promised Bud.

After getting Gao Yuan's promise, Bud just left in fear.

After Bud left, Arwen, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly appeared.

Arwen, who had already taken off her battle armor and put on a blue dress, came to Gao Yuan's body step by step.

"You don't have to pay for the fault of that human lord. There is no end to the greed for wealth. Besides, it is a good fortune. Even the elves will be tempted by it." Arwen used her The crystal clear fingers gently lifted Gao Yuan's chin.

The two looked at each other affectionately under the dim light, Gao Yuan saw a hint of naughtiness in Arwen's eyes, and he grasped Arwen's little hand to tease him.

With Arwen's exclamation, she pulled the elf beauty into her arms.

While feeling the soft body of Arwen in his arms and the delicate skin on his hands, he said:
"The riches that might have been given were not worth mentioning compared with what I got, and it would have seemed worth it to me to give all the riches I deserved in exchange for the one thing I had."

Arwen looked at Gao Yuan's golden pupil suspiciously, she didn't understand what could be more precious than that large amount of wealth.

Before Arwen could ask, Gao Yuan took out the Silmaril surrounded by layers of handkerchiefs from his pocket.

Under Arwen's curious eyes, Gao Yuan peeled off the handkerchief wrapped on the Silmarillion layer by layer.

An octahedral crystal shining brightly and shaped like a diamond appeared in front of Arwen. She looked at the Silmaril in Gao Yuan's hand in disbelief, and covered her delicate lips with her hand, trying not to let herself scream out. sound.

"This is an elf." Arwen couldn't believe her eyes.

"That's right, it's the legendary Silmarillion!" Gao Yuan explained softly to Arwen, "For thousands of years, it has been wrapped in that Aken gemstone, so no one has been able to see its shape." It's true."

After a brief absence, Arwen's expression immediately became serious, and she immediately covered Gao Yuan's big hand with both hands, closing it to cover the light from the Silmarillion.

"Gao Yuan, besides the human lord Bard, who else knows that you have the Silmaril?" Arwen asked solemnly.

I saw Gao Yuan shook his head: "The only people who know that the Silmarillion has reappeared are Bard and the gray-robed wizard Gandalf. You don't have to worry about them revealing this secret. The name of the tower has sworn to me, if they dare to tell this secret, they will pay an unbearable price."

Gao Yuan didn't tell Arwen that the Dark Lord Sauron also knew that the Silmaril was in his hands.

He didn't want Arwen to worry about himself. He would leave this world soon. He believed that when he came back again, he would have a solution to Sauron's trouble.

"Originally, I planned to inlay this jewel in the middle of Nauglamir's necklace, and let you wear it on your chest as a symbol of love between us. You must be beautiful wearing this fairy jewel, my Tinuviel."

"But I'm worried that the Silmarillion will attract those powers who are watching from the dark to covet it, which will cause you a lot of trouble, so I decided to hide it forever."

Gao Yuan did have such a plan at first, but he dismissed his idea when he thought of the precious diamonds that had caused countless troubles to their holders in history.

He decided to leave this world with the Silmaril, so that those who lurk in the dark would not be able to find him.

Arwen caressed Gao Yuan's face affectionately, and then kissed Gao Yuan's lips lightly.

"You are right in thinking, my love!" Arwen said softly, "The existence of this jewel will only bring disaster to its holder. The tokens between you and me are enough and precious enough. No Silmarils needed to prove it!"

"The love between us does not need such a precious treasure as a witness. My heart has already felt your love for Evening Star, which is far more precious than this Silmaril."
