Chapter 216 Allen and the Dwarves

"What? There are dwarves attacking your fleet on the rushing river? Alan, I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound at this time."

After hearing Allen's account of how he was ambushed, the smile on Thorin's face quickly disappeared, and the surprise in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

Then, after thinking for a while, the King of Durin continued to add with a very serious expression: "Alan, my friend, you can deal with your captives according to your own will, and you don't need to consider my feelings. In fact, I curse those dwarves who have fallen into darkness, may their souls wander forever in the wilderness, and may they not return to the halls of Mandos."

In the belief of the dwarves, they always respect and love their creator Vila Aoli, and firmly believe that after the death of the body, the soul will be summoned to a room in the palace of Mandos by "Mahal", that is, the deity of Aoli.And when the world ends, he will be canonized by Iluvita and continue to serve his creator.

And this is a dogma passed down by word of mouth among the dwarves. This shows how strong Thorin's hatred for those fallen dwarves is. Perhaps this hatred is mainly aimed at Sauron who is king in Mordor. .

"Okay, then I will leave them in my workshop, and hope that one day they can get rid of the control of darkness and return to our camp."

After hearing Thorin's promise, Allen felt relieved about this matter. If Thorin needed it, he could go to Heidelberg to pick up those dwarves. Actually, Allen didn't care, but he could stay It's even better.

In the realm of Middle Earth, no force would dislike too many blacksmiths of its own, especially Allen, who was going to smelt and transform armor.

However, Alan came to Lonely Mountain not all because of these dozens of dwarves.

"Sorin, do you know how to find people who believe in darkness from among the clansmen? You must know that the current situation in Rovanian is very complicated, and I can't refuse others to enter for no reason. The spies and spies of the enemy are hidden in the It's a dangerous thing around us."

After hearing Allen's question, Sorin smiled wryly. How could he know how to tell the difference?
In fact, he had only heard of the existence of the dwarves living in the Far East serving the Dark Lord, and had never seen it with his own eyes.

"I don't know how to distinguish them. Perhaps being more careful and cautious is the best way we can choose at present."

The situation of Sorin and Alan is similar, and the King of Durin cannot completely refuse other dwarves to enter the Lonely Mountain. This is not only related to the friendship between the dwarves, but also to the development of the Lonely Mountain. Sorin needs a lot of manpower To realize your ambition, you can't give up eating because of choking.

And Bahrain, who had been listening all the time, stroked his snow-white beard, and after thinking for a while, he slowly suggested: "Perhaps it can be distinguished by observing daily behavior, but it requires a lot of energy, and I also There is no guarantee that this approach will work.”

After hearing Bahrain's words, Allen shook his head silently. Perhaps this method is indeed effective, but there are at least hundreds of dwarves active in various towns in Rovanian every day. Does everyone send someone to monitor it?
Let's not talk about how much energy this method will take to complete. The fact that it is easy to cause misunderstandings is not the way Allen wants.

Perhaps, I can only trouble those "animal friends" to pay more attention to the whereabouts of the dwarves. As long as there is no trouble, news leaks or something, as long as Allen and his subordinates are more careful and cautious, they should be able to do so. response.

After discussing this matter, Allen came up with his own plan for the transformation of Changhu Town, and asked Sorin to help him see if it was possible to realize it. It was the idea of ​​using water power to open up river channels.

Sorin is more proficient in weapon forging, but not so good at construction, but it doesn't matter. There are many Durin dwarves who are good at this job, and soon Alan's plan was passed on. , a large number of dwarven construction masters began to conceive how to better realize this idea.

For them, it is not difficult to complete this idea, but to ensure the efficiency while also being durable enough, this requires them to "discuss" for a while.

And Allen bid farewell to the busy Sorin, and wandered around the Lonely Mountain with Bahrain. Anyway, it will take a little time for Allen's plan to be realized, so he just took this opportunity to visit his good friends.

In fact, since the recapture of the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves who participated in the expedition with Sorin all got their own share of wealth and settled down in the Lonely Mountain. The tall brother Du Valin holds the position of an officer.

And some people live a carefree life after gaining wealth. For example, Bomber, who was originally the fattest among all people, when Alan saw his little friend again, he He seldom moves around by himself.

However, in order to welcome Allen, he walked from his restaurant to the gate in person. Although he was tired and out of breath, he still had a smile on his face.

Soon, most of the friends who had spare time came to Bumbur. They gathered together and happily played the cheerful songs belonging to the dwarves. The wonderful music seemed to bring Alan back to that night in Bag End , it is so far away from the location of the lonely mountain, but it seems so close.

Then a group of dwarves unceremoniously had a lunch and a dinner at Bomber's house, and at night, Sorin, Duvalin, Fili, and Dyne, who had finished their official duties, joined the banquet, and Kili, who lived outside the Lonely Mountain, also came back. It can be said that except for Bilbo and Gandalf, all the other friends who participated in the expedition gathered together.

They celebrated from noon until late at night, either singing beautiful songs or talking about their encounters after parting.

Especially Alan and Philip, they talked about their encounters in Gondor with eloquence. When talking about the battle, everyone was nervous together, and when talking about the joy after victory, everyone was happy together.

And at the end of the banquet, all the dwarves hoped to have the opportunity to get together with Bilbo and Gandalf, and Alan, who was already a little drunk, took this matter.

"Don't worry, next summer I will hold a huge celebration, I will prepare delicious food and countless good wines, and then invite all my friends to this banquet, then we will definitely have a chance to reunite, when we Keep drinking to your heart's content."

What Allen didn't say clearly is that he will marry Jamila in the summer of next year, which is the prosperous month. This is naturally a grand and happy event for the Rovanian Kingdom. And when the time comes, Allen will naturally send countless messengers to invite his friends to his wedding.

This of course includes Bilbo and Gandalf. If things are not busy, Allen even wants to invite the Hobbit himself. As for Gandalf, whose whereabouts are uncertain, only Allen may be able to find it accurately.

Now, of course, there is no need to explain clearly. As for the dwarves who drank too much, they only heard about the banquet with delicious food and wine, and they didn't think too much at all. Instead, they raised their glasses and drank again with Alan. This drink was almost at the moment when the sun shone in again, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

It has to be said that Alan's drinking capacity is much stronger now than before, and he fought directly with Dyne to the end. Fourteen dwarves and one human directly drank all of Bumbur's three-month wine storage in one day.

And when everyone woke up from the dream, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and everyone reluctantly parted again, and agreed that they must meet in Feslet next summer.

Before leaving Bombur, Allen still hoped that he could pay attention to his body, because obesity would greatly affect the lifespan of a dwarf.

But Bomber laughed loudly when he heard this, and persuaded Allen instead.

"When I was in the Blue Mountains, I didn't have any outstanding achievements, and I didn't have much wealth to enjoy life, but I still loved food and wine. Now, I have become the hero who took back the Lonely Mountain, and I have the freedom to let go. Can't you enjoy the life you want if you don't have too much wealth?"

While talking, Bombur took a gulp of mead from Rovanian, and the sweet taste made the dwarf squint his eyes.

"Alan, you are too tired to live. When the team stops, you are either thinking or patrolling, or you are helping others to better adapt to the wilderness. You are a reassuring partner and a loyal My friend, at the same time, I also believe that you are a competent king, and your future achievements will definitely be great, but I should give you some advice at this time. You should also pay more attention to your body. fracture."

Bomber's words from the bottom of his heart left Alan at a loss as to what to say. In the end, he thanked Bomber for his advice before leaving, and then went to Thror's hall to look for Thorin. How, he still has a lot of things to do.

At this time, under the discussion of many dwarf masters, Allen's plan has become an executable design drawing, and the materials needed for this project are carefully marked on it.

Allen, who has studied the relevant knowledge, can naturally understand this blueprint, and other things are easy to talk about, but it is a bit strange for Allen to need some mithril.

The dwarf master builder happily explained to Allen that in their design, there are several gears that will rotate continuously under the impact of water flow, and these core parts need to be mixed with mithril. , otherwise it is necessary to maintain the operation of the entire system through frequent replacement of parts.

Fortunately, Alan still had some mithril left in his hands. The amount was not large enough to make a whole piece of armor or a weapon, but it was more than enough to complete the project, so he said that he would send someone to collect the needed materials Get ready in Changhu Town, and the project will officially start in half a month.

And Alan, who had done everything, was attracted by the map that Sorin took out, and he could see the terrain of the Gray Mountains and Gundabad Mountains at a glance.

And this map was finally drawn by Sorin's countless dwarven spies after spending nearly a year. He is doing corresponding work to retake Mount Gundabad and even the Gray Mountains. Prepare.

The dwarf's way of doing things has always been frank and direct. Sorin told Alan without any scruples that he wanted to complete his plan to recover Mount Gundabad within ten years, and this required Alan's help.

Looking at the detailed map over there, Allen fell into deep thought. It's not that he wanted to go back on his word, but that he was sorting out his thoughts so that he could explain his plan to Thorin. Think about it.

"Sorin, since the Battle of Lonely Mountain, the half-orcs active in the Gray Mountains have been severely injured. For us now, it is not difficult to drive them away, but we want to take back this area for a long time. , we need some time to prepare."

Then Allen told Sorin that he planned to arrange some of the herdsmen under his command to live near Changchuanyuan and Huixiangshui after two or three years. There is a piece of land suitable for animal husbandry, which is very suitable for breeding more animals. Horses, of course, can also train larger cavalry.

And after the herdsmen settled down there, humans and dwarves could better occupy that area through some cooperation.

And Sorin is not saying that a war against the orcs will be launched soon, he is just confirming this matter with his allies, and he is satisfied with the attitude shown by Allen, at least Allen has thought of it some plans.

"That's right, Alan, although the power we have now is quite powerful, those half-orcs are not worth mentioning in front of us, but the holy land is indeed too far away from Erebo, once a battle occurs, it will be difficult to provide support , so while you are relocating to the herdsmen, I plan to let Balin and Duvalin take part of the tribe to the Gray Mountains to carefully explore whether there are traces of evil dragons there. If possible, we will give priority to occupying there and then accumulate strength Then take it back to the Holy Land in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Thorin waved his clenched fist confidently.

In Alan's view, Sorin's plan is good. The southern part of the Gray Mountains also has the abandoned kingdom of the Durin dwarves. If the dwarves can further occupy there, they can watch and help Alan's herdsmen who moved there, and further oppress the orcs. living space.

As for the cold dragons that once ravaged the Gray Mountains, according to the memories in Allen's mind, after the ancestors of the Rohans killed Skasa, no cold dragons invaded the Gray Mountains again, and it was stable there for a long time.

And Gandalf, who traveled there before the expedition, did not find the existence of cold dragons. These huge, greedy and cunning creatures should all inhabit the Frod region with a severe climate.

It's just that Allen couldn't figure out why these powerful cold dragons made such a choice, but it didn't affect the plan he and Sorin had made at this time.

The two quickly finalized the approximate date for the implementation of the plan. After that, Allen and his queen also embarked on their way back to Long Lake Town.
