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

Chapter 158 The Carnival Feast of the Dwarves

After two days of heavy snowfall, the streets and eaves of River Valley City were covered with thick snow, and the entire River Valley City was pure white.

Even in the lonely mountains and valleys not far away, it was the same.

Everywhere is a white world.

The snow covered up the traces left by the wars of the previous few days, drowned out those shocking dark red bloodstains; drowned out the dirt left by those half-orcs; drowned out the pain brought by the war to this vicissitudes of life land.

The rushing river, which was originally melted by the golden dragon with its dragon's breath, was covered with a thick layer of ice, and there were still countless half-orc corpses submerged under the river.

The surviving coalition forces were unable to salvage the bones that sank at the bottom of the river in this season.

They can only be left there, and they will become food for returning fish after the snow melts next year.

On the snow-covered streets of River Valley City, the busy residents of Changhu Town can be seen everywhere.

They are clearing the city of the remains of war; tending to buildings that are barely inhabitable; and preparing for rebuilding in the coming year.

At this moment, a tall figure wearing a dark green elf cloak and black ponytail slowly fell from the sky on the street.

Under his elven cloak, he was wearing an exquisite black fluffy robe, with an exquisite silver-white long sword hanging from his waist.

The people who were busy stopped their work one after another, and stopped to look at the figure descending from the sky.

When people saw those eyes shining with golden light, they couldn't help feeling respectful and bowed down to salute that lord.

This figure that descended from the sky was Gao Yuan who had just returned from Changhu Lake.

The evil dragon whose body sank in the icy water of Long Lake has now been dismembered by him.

In the wooden box suspended behind him were the dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon teeth and dragon claws that Gao Yuan stripped from Smaug.

Gao Yuan spent almost a whole day dissecting the dead dragon.

No way, who made the dragon scales and dragon skin of that evil dragon so tough.

Evening Star Blade is the sharpest weapon in Gao Yuan's hands, but it can't cut the dragon scales on the evil dragon at all. He can only peel off the dragon scales and skin from Smaug's body. This is after the evil dragon is soaked in the lake water The results of half a month.

This also led to the fact that Gao Yuan's harvested dragon skins were rarely complete, and the largest complete dragon skin was only the size of a floor tile.

This was the result after Gao Yuan had almost dealt with the entire dragon, but it should be enough to make a leather armor for him.

He intends to use these dragon scales and dragon skins stripped from Smaug's body to make a set of leather armor and a set of armor respectively.

As for those dragon teeth and dragon claws, what should be made; how to process these materials, leave it to the elf craftsmen of Rivendell to have a headache.

When the evening dwarves' celebration feast was about to begin, Gao Yuan and his party of six appeared in front of the gate of Lonely Mountain on time.

As soon as they entered the gate, they saw dwarves busy all around them.

The dilapidated hall, which was originally full of rubble, had a completely new look on the exquisite sculptures and stone pillars.

Even the dwarf palace that collapsed in Gao Yuan's battle with the evil dragon, the ruins inside were cleaned up by the dwarves.

This is just a short period of more than one day and less than two days.

The dilapidated dwarf dungeon had changed so much that Bilbo was speechless: "It's like rebuilding a palace!"

Even Gao Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom and efficiency of the dwarves in engineering construction.

"In this Middle-earth continent, I am afraid that no one dares to say that it can compare with the dwarves in this respect."

Bahrain, who walked ahead of the crowd and was in charge of bringing Gao Yuan and his party into the dungeon, could not help but speak proudly when he heard Bilbo's praise.

"You are the first batch of guests to be entertained by the dwarves after they regained the Lonely Mountain. Naturally, we can't treat you badly. Of course, we have to replace them as soon as possible."

"But it's definitely not so fast in the kingdom. Alas, Smaug's damage to the depths of the dungeon is still quite serious. It won't be repaired in a short while." Speaking of Smaug, Balin couldn't help but sigh.

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Bahrain, I have already avenged you, and I have already smashed that evil dragon into thousands of pieces today."

"Mr. Gao Yuan, you did a great job!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Balin and the other dwarves who followed them laughed loudly.

Gao Yuan's words made Bahrain and the others happy again.

"But when our clansmen in the Blue Mountains arrive, it will be soon."

"If you come back a year later, you may be able to see the once incomparably glorious Kingdom under the Mountain reappear in this world."

Bahrain happily introduced to Gao Yuan and his party, it seems that he is in a very good mood today.

"So, you want to bring all the people from the Blue Mountains back to the Lonely Mountain?"

Bilbo asked curiously when he heard this.

"Yes."

Balin nodded without hesitation: "The Lonely Mountain is the homeland of the Turin dwarves, and now we have recovered it. The current King of the Mountain will naturally recall those people scattered throughout Middle-earth and the Blue Mountains."

"Just like what Mr. Gao Yuan once said with Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarves of the entire Middle-earth world need to unite together instead of being divided into seven kingdoms."

Balin turned around as he spoke, and saluted Gao Yuan deeply, and the other dwarves followed the same example to imitate Balin's movements.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, we will always remember and pass on the vision and will you gave to the dwarves." Balin continued, "The dwarves have been separated for too long, and it is time to reunite."

Listening to Balin's words, Gao Yuan nodded in relief.

In the original book, at this time, Thorin Oakenshield and his two nephews, Fili and Kili, all died in this war with the orcs.

The dwarves of Turin have completely severed their direct lineage with the King of the Mountain.

The throne of King under the Mountain can only be inherited by Thorin Oakenshield's blood relative, Ironfoot Dyne, and the Iron Hill Dwarves have therefore entered the Lonely Mountain.

Although, later Ironfoot Dyne managed the entire Kingdom under the Mountain very well.

But because they are not the direct lineage of the King of the Mountain, they have been unable to unite the dwarven forces scattered all over Middle-earth.

This also led to their inability to contribute to Middle-earth's fight against the dark forces during the War of the Ring.

Now, because of my own participation, the situation is disrupted.

In the direct bloodline of the king under the mountain, there is another Qili who survived.

Of course, the throne of King of the Mountain has nothing to do with Ironfoot Dyne.

Gao Yuan didn't know whether Ironfoot Dyne and the other six dwarf kingdoms would be merged into Kili's kingdom under the mountain in the coming days.

But now that the Turin dwarves in the Blue Mountains have been called back, the dwarf kingdoms scattered all over Middle-earth are still very likely to be united again.

After all, Kili was relatively young in the neither long nor short life of a dwarf.

"Going this way, the main hall of the kingdom has been destroyed to such an extent that tonight's carnival feast will be set in the side hall." Balin continued to lead the way for Gao Yuan and his party.

"We have arranged the side hall during the day, I believe you will be surprised when you arrive."

Hearing this, Bilbo looked curiously at the dwarves who were still busy all around, and couldn't help asking: "Are we going directly to the banquet scene now?"

Balin laughed: "Naturally, the dinner party is about to begin, and now we are waiting for our distinguished guests to enter."

Along the way, Gao Yuan and his party were curiously looking at the buildings inside the Kingdom under the Mountain that they saw along the way.

Last time, after Gao Yuan and Bilbo entered the Lonely Mountain through the secret door, they went directly to the main dwarf hall that he destroyed, without seeing the whole picture of the once glorious dwarf hall in Turin.

Now, under the leadership of Bahrain, he really understands why this dungeon built by the dwarves under the lonely mountain dares to call itself the kingdom under the mountain.

This kingdom under the mountain, which was built after hollowing out most of the lonely mountain, can't be compared with even the dungeon of the woodland kingdom.

I am afraid that only the legendary Menegroth built by King Thingol in ancient times can be compared with it.

The dwarves dug out an extremely wide and vast underground kingdom in this lonely mountain.

Huge and majestic stone pillars; bottomless underground potholes; criss-crossing long bridges, and various houses built on the mountain wall one after another, all the way deep into the ground, and the bottom cannot be seen at all.

A dungeon of such a large scale is worthy of being called an underground kingdom. In the third era, only the dwarves of the Turin family could build it.

It's hard to imagine how the dwarves dug out such a high and bottomless pit in this lonely mountain.

This is just the pothole where one of the side halls is located. Besides the main hall, there are many other side halls like this.

It's no wonder that a huge dragon like Smaug can move unimpeded in this kingdom under the mountain with ease.

Gao Yuan even doubted whether the Turin dwarves had hollowed out the entire lonely mountain. He didn't even dare to imagine how deep the mines dug by the dwarves were.

No wonder they can always find some weird things when mining.

In the mines of Moria, they dug out the Balrog, which was basically extinct in the first era; in the mines under the Lonely Mountain, they dug out the Silmarils, which fell into the magma in the first era.

Looking at the miraculous underground city in front of him.

Gao Yuan couldn't help sighing secretly.

The dwarves are worthy of being a race created by Villaoli, and the dwarves' reputation for being good at mining is not in vain. Their level of skill in mining and stone construction is unmatched by even the elves.

"It's just ahead!"

Led by Balin, they finally reached their destination.

When Gao Yuan and his party crossed a long stone bridge without guardrails, walked into a stone gate carved with exquisite dwarf reliefs, and entered a huge palace.

The size of this palace is not much smaller than the main hall where Gao Yuan fought against Smaug.

On the walls and ceilings around the side hall, various exquisite styles of chandeliers and wall lamps are hung, illuminating this huge palace brightly.

The dwarves who came from the Iron Hills to Lonely Mountain were busy in the hall, preparing for the carnival feast tonight.

The incumbent King of the Mountain, with a glittering golden crown on his head, wearing a delicate fluffy robe, and a beautiful dwarven broadsword hanging from his waist, is standing in front of the throne.

Under the leadership of Balin, Gao Yuan and his party came to Qili.

Seeing their arrival, the new King of the Mountain immediately greeted them with a bright smile.

"It's a pleasure to see you here tonight, my dear friends!"

Qili walked down the steps and came in front of everyone, first of all, he gave Gao Yuan a big hug.
