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

Chapter 157 Smaug's Bones
The king's funeral is over, and the dwarves will hold a grand dinner tomorrow night to celebrate this hard-won victory; the dwarves of Turin's family have regained their homeland; a new king of the mountain will will inherit the throne.

That Bahrain, who was already the regent of the kingdom under the mountain, personally sent Gao Yuan and others to the gate of the lonely mountain. He was wearing exquisite Chinese clothes and his long beard was also meticulously groomed.

Before saying his final farewell, he cordially invites all friends and allies who attended the funeral to join the feast tomorrow night.

Thranduil politely declined Balin's invitation. He and his people had already decided to leave the Lonely Mountain tonight.

Taking those sacrificed clansmen back to the green forest, they will return to the woodland kingdom to prepare a traditional funeral of the Silvan elves for the dead clansmen.

The traditional burials of Silvan elves differ from those of humans and dwarves, and even from other elves with whom they are closely related.

Among the many branches of the elves, the Silvan elves worship nature and starlight the most. The way they mourn their own people is a tradition that has continued since before the elves traveled westward.

In the tradition of the Silvan elves, the gates of the temples of Mandos will open at the new moon to welcome the spirits of those Silvan elves.

Until then, their souls will remain with their people.

Therefore, Thranduil and his people must rush to their kingdom before the arrival of the new moon, and hold a farewell ceremony for the souls of these people.

And the arrival of the next new moon is only two or three days away.

Bud also rejected Bahrain's invitation. He still has a lot of work waiting for him to do in River Valley City, whether it is for the residents of Changhu Town to survive this cold winter safely, or to prepare for the reconstruction of River Valley City after the spring of next year. , These are enough for him to have a headache.

Not to mention Bion and Eagle King, they will definitely not stay to attend this dinner, but Bahrain still offered invitations out of courtesy, but they were all rejected one by one.

In the end, the helpless Bahrain set his sights on Gao Yuan, Bilbo and others.

"I've been rejected too many times today, Mr. Gao Yuan, Bilbo and Gandalf, you won't have the heart to refuse my invitation anymore, will you?" Balin grabbed Bilbo's arm, and if you dare to refuse me, The posture of not letting go.

Before the funeral started, he also heard the conversation between Bilbo and Gao Yuan and the others. Among the three of them, the one who couldn't wait to leave was Bilbo.

As long as he stays, Gao Yuan and Gandalf will definitely not refuse again.

"Bilbo, don't you have any urgent business in the Shire, so that you want to cross half the north in winter and go back to your hometown?" asked Balin.

Bilbo shook his head, and quickly and resolutely rejected Balin's invitation.

"Bahrain. You know, I've been on this journey for almost a year, and I'm getting tired of adventure."

"Speaking of which, this is the furthest and longest journey I've ever taken from home. It's hard to imagine that before taking part in this adventure, the farthest I've ever been was the old woods of the Shire. I followed you to a distant lonely mountain."

"I miss my home so much, and it's been so long since I had a good breakfast that I almost forgot what afternoon tea is like."

"The deck chairs in Bag End, the pipe grass from the Shire, the tea from Hobbiton, and my big warm bed."

Balin looked at Gao Yuan standing aside as if asking for help, and his eyebrows frantically signaled Gao Yuan: "But I heard that Mr. Bilbo, after you leave the Lonely Mountain, you will go to Rivendell as a guest for a while. In this way, You will not be in a hurry to set off this day, will you?"

Gao Yuan looked at Bahrain who was winking at him with some amusement, in order not to refute Bahrain's face, he still tried to persuade Bilbo.

"Bahrain is right! Bilbo, don't forget that you agreed to go back to Rivendell with me to live for a while. If you are in a hurry to go home for the exquisite breakfast and afternoon tea." Gao Yuan After pausing for a moment, he continued, "That's unnecessary, Arwen and I will entertain you with the best elf food in Rivendell. Last time we stayed in Rivendell too short, and There are many elves delicacies that you have never tasted before."

"Besides, it's already the cold winter season. You definitely don't want to spend a few months crossing most of the north in this season. After all this is over, you will spend the cold winter with us in Rivendell and return to It happened to be spring when we got to your hometown of Hobbiton."

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, the determination on Bilbo's face loosened a little.

"At that time, the scenery of Shire was beautiful. Last time we left Shire in a hurry, we didn't have time to appreciate it."

"I happen to want to live there for a while after escorting you back to Hobbiton, and take a look at Hobbiton's spring by the way."

After Gao Yuan's repeated bombing, Bilbo was finally persuaded.

He looked at Gao Yuan excitedly and asked: "Mr. Gao Yuan, is what you said true? Are you going to live in Shire for a while?"

"Of course it's true. As long as you don't dislike us, Arwen and I will be happy to live in Hobbiton for a while." Gao Yuan nodded and said.

Hearing Gao Yuan's reply, Bilbo smiled even brighter: "How can it be! Mr. Gao Yuan, you and Princess Arwen are willing to come to my house as guests, I'm so happy that it's too late!"

Gao Yuan's words are not fooling Bilbo, he does plan to live in Hobbiton for a while, after all, he will leave after this series of events is over.

This departure probably took 60 years. Speaking of getting along for so long, he was still a little bit reluctant to say goodbye to this hobbit suddenly.

Thinking that the next time he saw Bilbo, he would be 111 years old, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Time may erase many things, but the friendship between him and Bilbo in this lonely mountain adventure is indelible.

"I seem to have forgotten to do some things. I'm afraid we have to wait a day or two before we can set off."

Gao Yuan slapped his forehead, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something important to do.

Bilbo asked curiously: "Isn't it all over? Mr. Gao Yuan, what else have you forgotten?"

He did have some things to do, and that was to deal with the body of Smaug lying in the Long Lake.

A dead dragon, its body is full of treasures, not to mention the dead dragon in the long lake at this time, is the strongest dragon in Middle-earth today.

The scales on Smaug's body were harder than ten layers of steel shields stacked together. Even the lofty Evening Star Blade could only leave superficial scratches on them.

Its fangs and claws are as sharp as swords made by high elves, capable of tearing apart solid rocks with ease.

The skin of the evil dragon is the leather armor material with the strongest magic immunity in the world, and it can easily block the explosion of the fireball condensed by Gao Yuan.

You must know that the fire element magic ball condensed by Gao Yuan can even explode the secret door of the Lonely Mountain, but it can't hurt Smaug's skin at all.

As early as when Gao Yuan first received the main task of the system, he had already set his mind on Smaug.

Now a series of emergencies have made Gao Yuan almost forget his plan.

Thinking about it now, if he had left so simply, when he returned to Rivendell, he would probably regret it and die.

For these materials, he was even willing to return from Rivendell to Long Lake again to salvage the body of Smaug.

In the original book, after Changhu Town was rebuilt by Bard and others, Smaug's body was still buried in the deep water of Changhu for many years.

No one has ever dared to approach the waters where his body was, let alone salvage its bones, even if there were countless jewels as rewards.

From Gao Yuan's point of view, this is a waste of money.
