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

Chapter 91
The dwarves stepped into the secret door of the Lonely Mountain one by one, and on the secret door behind them was carved a pair of exquisite reliefs.

In the relief, on the top of the dwarf's throne, there is a jewel inlaid, shining with light.

On the top of the relief, there is also a line of wise words engraved in runes.

"Here lies the seventh kingdom of the dwarves of the Turin family. May the heart of the mountain unite all the dwarves to protect our homeland together." Groin read the above sentence softly.

Bilbo looked at the jewel inlaid on the throne, and asked, "What's that on the throne?"

Balin gave Bilbo a strange look.

"Arkon Gem, that's why we hired you this time, Mr. Baggins."

"It is more precious than all the treasures in the Lonely Mountain. As long as it has it, Sorin is the rightful king of the Turin dwarves, and he will become the real king of the mountain."

Bilbo looked around suspiciously. At this moment, all the dwarves were looking at him, and Bilbo swallowed his saliva.

"You don't want me to go in alone, do you?"

At this moment, Bilbo really understood that the purpose of employing him was to let him complete this particularly dangerous task for the dwarves: to steal a gem from the dragon's lair.

It reminded him of what they had said in their meeting at Bag End before they set off, that Smaug was already familiar with the smell of the dwarves, and they needed someone who smelled unfamiliar to Smaug, preferably a Snitch.

That's why these dwarves are so generous and willing to give him one-fifteenth of the treasure in Gushan. They originally planned to give him one-fourteenth, but Gao Yuan joined the team halfway .

No, Gao Yuan should have joined the team earlier than him.

The one-fifteenth that Gao Yuan took, the dwarves thought it was worth it.

Because during this journey, Gao Yuan has proved his worth with his strength, and his contribution to the expedition team has far exceeded the value of those treasures.

Even the preoccupied dwarves have nothing to say about it.

These dwarves probably don't dare to deny the part that Gao Yuan deserves at this moment.

Now it was time for Bilbo to prove his worth, and Thorin would give a fifteenth for the Arkenstone.

Of course, if he got into trouble, everyone would do everything in their power to help him out.

Just like in the troll forest, even though the dwarves hadn't fully accepted Bilbo at that time, they were still willing to save him regardless of their own lives.

The dwarves didn't answer Bilbo's question, they just waited silently for Bilbo's answer.

He has the right to refuse, but this journey has come here, and he seems to have no reason to refuse.

Just when Bilbo was hesitating, Gao Yuan spoke.

"I'll go in with you." Gao Yuan said, "I promised Gandalf in Bag End to keep you safe. Besides, killing Smaug is also my real purpose of coming here."

"Of course, I will choose to do it after you get the Arkon gem. I will hide in the dark, otherwise Smaug will discover my existence in advance. Before that, you have to be careful."

Gao Yuan's words were like a reassurance thrown into Bilbo's heart. In his cognition, it seemed that there was no enemy that Gao Yuan could not defeat, even a dragon.

Walking together, Bilbo and Gaoyuan entered the passage built by the dwarves in their heyday. This passage was as straight as if measured by a ruler, with a flat floor and smooth walls.

"What kind of gemstone is that?" Bilbo followed Gao Yuan nervously.

"I mean, I think there must be a lot of gemstones down there, how can I tell which one...is the Arken gemstone?"

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, and pressed his stiff shoulders, trying to make him relax.

"There's only one Akon gem underneath, and it's very special, and when you see it, you'll recognize it."

"If you are scared, you can choose to turn back now. It is not a shame. Not everyone has the courage to face the dragon, even the dwarves in the expedition team, otherwise they would not choose to let you complete this task." Task."

"I can also try to help Thorin find that gem, just try, because that's not my task." Gao Yuan looked into Bilbo's eyes and smiled strangely.

His words were like a sharp knife piercing Bilbo's heart.

Bilbo shook his head desperately, facing Gao Yuan's kindness, he chose to refuse without hesitation.

"No, Mr. Gao Yuan, I promised Sorin and the others, I have to try."

"You always impress me at critical moments." Gao Yuan admired Bilbo's courage very much.

He has the courage to face the evil dragon because he has the ability to protect himself when facing the evil dragon.

As for Bilbo, he is just an ordinary hobbit, and he can frankly reject Gao Yuan's proposal, which undoubtedly requires great courage.

Soon they came to the end of the dwarves' passage, and a plume of black smoke and the smell of sulfur rushed towards them from the exit of the passage, and the inside of the tunnel became a little hot.

When they walked out of the narrow and hot passage, they suddenly saw a bright light.

At this time they were standing in front of a huge palace.

What is presented in front of you are treasure mountains made up of countless gold coins, silverware, gemstones and jewelry.

Both Gao Yuan and Bilbo couldn't help but gasped.

Gao Yuan also finally understood at this moment why Sorin lost his mind and fell into greed for treasure after retaking the Lonely Mountain.

When mountains of treasures piled up with countless shining treasures are placed in front of them, few people can remain calm.

Not all the treasures here belonged to the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, and a considerable part of them was looted by Smaug from the valley city at the foot of the Lonely Mountain.

Gao Yuan even saw many treasures it looted from the woodland kingdom.

Thranduil was not lying when he said that he had faced the dragon in the Lonely Mountain.

It's just that part of the past that other people don't know about.

Even Mr. Tolkien didn't record it in his book.

"Be careful, Bilbo."

After Gao Yuan told Bilbo, he opened his arms and jumped up from the ground, and then gradually disappeared into the darkness above Bilbo's head.

Bilbo spread his hands, and he walked down the steps carefully, and then began to rummage among the treasure mountains.

He hovered high above the palace, and he didn't search for the whereabouts of the Arken gem like Bilbo did.

Instead, he was looking for the evil dragon that was supposed to be sleeping here.

The story of Bilbo entering the Lonely Mountain is very different in the movie and the original book.

In the original book, Smaug is lying directly on the treasure mountains under his feet; while the movie has made some adaptations, Smaug's huge body is buried among the glittering gold and silver jewels.

He quickly swept across the entire palace in mid-air, but did not find any trace of Smaug here.

So he estimated that Smaug should be sleeping in the pile of treasures at his feet just like in the movie.

Gao Yuan didn't know the exact location of the dragon at this time, but he knew the plot.

Bilbo will help him find the dragon and wake it up in the process of searching for the Arken gem.

So, he stopped looking for the location of the evil dragon, but closed his eyes gently, and a lot of mental power spread from Gao Yuan's body to the surroundings.
