Chapter 57 Allen's Plan

In the evening, River Valley City shrouded in the rays of the setting sun.

Humans, wizards, and elves gathered in Thranduil's tent.

At this time, Gandalf was talking about the battle of Dol Guldur and the orc army he had seen with his own eyes to the people in the tent.

Allen didn't doubt the authenticity of these contents. He was relieved to hear Gandalf's remark. Such a result was much better than the original trajectory.

Especially when he heard the news that Thrain II was still alive, Alan's mind immediately became alive.

He knew very early on that the current Lonely Mountain King was still alive.

Last year, Allen wanted to bring up this matter when he attended the meeting of the White House in Los Lorien.

Just out of various concerns, he didn't say it, but focused on describing the power of Dol Guldur's dark power.

At that time, he hoped that the Baidao Society would pay attention to this place, and when these bigwigs would use the power of thunder to beat Sauron away, the probability of Thrain II being rescued safely would be greatly increased.

Now, hearing Gandalf say that Thrain II is still alive, Allen is very happy.

Because, he has a little plan that needs this news.

What makes Allen strange is that Gandalf did not say that the eagle will come to support, which is very strange.

However, after Alan thought about it carefully, he was relieved. His speculation about this was that Gandalf himself might not be sure whether the eagle would come to support him.

After all, these messengers of Manwe do not accept anyone's assignment, they will judge for themselves what to do.

Of course, Alan knew that they would definitely come, but in this timeline, Alan was not sure when the big eagle would come.

As for Thranduil, the king of the woodland, who was holding the wine, after being reminded by Ellen and Gandalf, he finally realized that the half-orcs had really gathered an army and were coming here.

Wizards do often exaggerate, and Alan may also say some irrelevant things for Thorin Oakenshield.

But Lady Galadriel, Lord Elrond, and Glorfindel mentioned by the gray-robed wizard are all his relatives, and there are many people whom Thranduil respects very much.

Thranduy didn't believe that the wizard would use the names of these people to deceive himself, so he believed it when he heard what happened.

But the elf king didn't want to show it, and he didn't want to retreat to the Black Forest.

Because, he had already issued an order to the army to besiege the Lonely Mountain tomorrow morning. He couldn't let his majestic woodland king change his order every day because of a few words from a wizard, and fled back to the Black Forest in despair, right?

After all, Thranduil was a king, and a king who had reigned for thousands of years, face was still important.

In addition, he didn't want his family's star gem to fall into the hands of half-orcs.

If that was the case, the price to be paid would be even higher if he wanted to get it back, and tomorrow morning might be his only chance.

Of course, Thranduil had never considered leading the army of elves to help the dwarves hold on to the Lonely Mountain at this time, unless the time went back 200 years ago, or he was crazy.

Therefore, facing Gandalf's complaints and requests, Thranduil had a calm expression on his face.

His eyes looked at the wine in his hand, and he took a sip from time to time, neither expressing agreement nor objecting.

Seeing the two who were in a stalemate, Allen finally spoke, and he said to Thranduil: "Your Majesty, can you give me a chance to try it? Thorin Oakenshield once owed me a promise, Maybe I can help you get back your family heirloom gem."

Of course Allen is not going to rely on that promise, it's just rhetoric, and the current Thorin Oakenshield, not to mention the promise, he may not necessarily abide by the contract in black and white.

After hearing Alan's words, Thranduy was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he felt that it would be no harm to try.

What the woodland king considered was that if Allen could get the star gem back, then his purpose would be accomplished, and in the future, he would have plenty of time and opportunities to compensate Allen.

Even if he didn't want to come back, he would still have time to besiege the lonely mountain.

Thinking of this, Thranduil said to Allen expressionlessly, "Are you going to make Thorin Oakenshield keep his promise? Well, I can give him another half day."

Gandalf, who was standing next to him, relaxed when he heard it. He was really worried that the elves and dwarves would fight.

Allen, who was sitting beside him, nodded to Thranduy and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Afterwards, Ellen and Gandalf left.

In the evening, Gandalf and Alan chatted a lot, and Alan learned the specific details of the Battle of Dol Guldur from Gandalf's mouth.

In the end, Allen also briefly told Gandalf about his two plans, and Gandalf said he could try it.

Early the next morning, Allen rode an elf horse alone to the gate of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

Allen, who was standing at the gate, looked at the city gate that had been blocked by boulders, and knew that it was done by Thorin Oak Shield.

There was a burst of helplessness in his heart. Although Thorin Oakenshield, who was not sick, was stubborn and arrogant, he still had many advantages and was quite likable.

Once this dragon disease is committed, people really can't like it at all. Even the good feelings accumulated before will gradually decrease in his unreasonable behavior.

Thinking of this, Allen shook his head. Instead of thinking too much, he waved his hand, greeted Duvalin, who was taller, and shouted loudly: "What? Friends are not welcome, come to visit your home?" .

Du Valin and Bofur, who were standing guard on the city wall, had seen Allen a long time ago, and they waved to Allen kindly, preparing to lower the rope and let Allen come up.

But soon, someone stopped them, and then Thorin Oakenshield's voice sounded.

"Alan, I saw that you brought thousands of troops and joined those elves. You are not suitable to enter my kingdom until you explain this clearly."

Following the sound of the sound, Sorin Oaken Shield, wearing a crown and a fur cloak, appeared on the top of the city.

He looked down at Alan, without a smile on his calm face, as if Alan was not his friend, not his companion, but a stranger begging from him.

Thorin Oakenshield's actions caused dissatisfaction among many people, but they were dwarves, and they were loyal to the devil, so they would not say a word about it.

But Bilbo Baggins had already begun to speak for Alan.

"Sorin, that's Alan, the companion who walked with us from Shire to the Lonely Mountain. Think about it carefully, do you really want to keep him out?"

Thorin Oakenshield looked back at Bilbo Baggins, then at the tribesmen around him, lost in thought.

At this moment, Alan's voice came to mind again.

"Thorin, no matter how many soldiers I bring here, I don't mean any harm to you. I just want to go up and meet my friends. Is that all right? If not, you can just let Bilbo down."

After Thorin Oakenshield heard it, he was silent for a long time, so long that Allen became a little impatient.

Finally, the dwarf prince nodded, allowing Alan to enter his kingdom.

Bofur threw the rope down immediately.

Alan swiftly climbed up the gate of the Lonely Mountain along the rope, and the first words he said when he walked to Thorin Oakenshield were.

"Have you sent a letter to Dyne asking him to bring troops to help you?"

Allen is extremely concerned about this issue. After all, it is related to the Battle of Lonely Mountain and whether dwarves can participate in the battle.

Thorin Oakenshield nodded subconsciously when he heard it, and then he reacted, with a sullen expression on his face, and said angrily, "Are you spying on my military situation?"

Allen looked at Thorin Oakenshield, who was questioning himself, and an inexplicable fire suddenly rose in his heart.

All kinds of difficulties on the expedition flooded into his mind in an instant, making him forget all the forbearance and understanding that he had thought about before he came.

Allen looked down at Thorin Oakenshield, who already thought he was the king of the Lone Mountain, and shouted: "I spied on a ghost, I tell you, Gandalf saved your father in Dol Guldur, Selaine II .”

Hearing this news suddenly, Sorin Oakenshield froze in place, his face first showed an incredulous expression, followed by happiness, but it disappeared immediately, followed by confusion, then anger, and finally pain.

And Allen's words are still flowing.

"Do you think that if you wear a crown and some kind of skin, you are the King of the Lonely Mountain? Do you have the King's Royal Treasure? Has Thrain II passed on the throne to you?"

"Do you know that Azog, the murderer who killed your grandfather Thror, is coming here with countless half-orcs, and by then this place will fall into darkness like Moria, and you are still complacent here , claiming to be the King of Lonely Mountain."

Speaking of which, Allen yelled as if he was about to vent.

"Do you know how much I paid for killing that stupid dragon, and how much risk I took? You actually made me sick here and asked me if I was spying on your military situation? Ah!!"

I don't know if it was stimulated by the news that his father was still alive, or because he learned about the orc situation.

Thorin Oakenshield unexpectedly couldn't control his body, and kept backing away.

Some dwarves rushed to Thorin Oakenshield, looking at him with concern.

There are still some dwarves who have surrounded Alan, and they have asked questions that they are interested in.

"Is His Majesty Selein really alive?" "When will the king come to the Lonely Mountain?" "Are there really countless half-orcs rushing here?"

Allen once again experienced the feeling of being surrounded by ducks, and he yelled: "Stop!!"

The surroundings finally quieted down, and Allen coughed a few times to soothe his uncomfortable throat due to venting.

He said hoarsely: "Don't ask any more. After a while, you will naturally know. I want to ask now, have you sent a message to Dyne?"

At this moment, Thorin Oakenshield's feeble voice sounded: "Yes, Dyne should arrive today or tomorrow."

Sorin Oakenshield, who thought he had become the king of the Lonely Mountain, heard that Thrain was not dead and had been rescued, and his heart immediately set off a huge wave.

At the beginning, Thorin Oakenshield, who was suffering from dragon sickness, was extremely unwilling to believe that what Alan said was true.

But then, the dwarf prince suddenly realized how terrifying his thoughts were.

The self who traveled thousands of miles to Heimandi to seek traces of his father, unexpectedly at this moment, did not want to believe that his father was still alive, and he realized a little bit how frightening he was now.

At this time, his heart is constantly tangled and struggling, his dragon disease and his affection for his family are constantly fighting.

Seeing that Thorin Oakenshield answered his own question, Alan knew that this guy must have been temporarily sobered up by the news that his father was still alive.

The reason is very simple, the wealth of Lonely Mountain belongs to the king himself.

After Thorin Oakenshield's grandfather, King Thror, died at the hands of Azog in the Battle of Moria, the throne would automatically pass to Thorin Oakenshield's father, Thrrain II.

The key issue is that Thrain II did not pass the throne and the Ring of Thorol to Thorin Oakenshield before he disappeared, so he has always been a dwarf prince.

Now, after Thorin Oakenshield occupied the Lonely Mountain, he pretended to be the king and claimed that he was entitled to all the wealth of the Lonely Mountain.

So now that his father is still alive, the wealth and throne of Lonely Mountain belong to Selaine II theoretically. Thorin Oakenshield only has the right of inheritance, not the right of ownership.

Then, his title of king would not be recognized by anyone, including the dwarves of the expedition team, and even himself, knew that he was not qualified.

But under the influence of the dragon disease, how could he accept such a statement.

But the father-son relationship between the dwarves is very deep, and this family relationship can't make him think of the terrible idea. Do you want to kill your father with your own hands and own these treasures and the throne?
At this time, he was entangled, and amidst such contradictions and conflicts, he unexpectedly came to his senses for a short time.

Allen actually started to think about this issue a long time ago. After all, in the movie, what awakened Thorin Oakenshield was his honor and sense of responsibility to his tribe.

At that time, Allen was wondering if he could use the family relationship between dwarf father and son to awaken Thorin Oakenshield.

Clearly, Allen succeeded.

Although the effect was not as good as that of Thorin Oakenshield walking out by himself, it was obvious that the dwarf prince had come to his senses.

Of course, this is not the only plan for Allen. If it doesn't work, let Bilbo Baggins steal the star gem.

When the time comes, take half of the gems and negotiate terms with Thranduil, and everything will be settled.

It's just that it would be too easy to break the relationship between each other, and Allen didn't want to choose.

Of course, it's useless now.

Seeing the state of Thorin Oakenshield, Allen was about to hurry up and do what he wanted to do.

"Sorin, do you believe me then?"

Thorin Oakenshield nodded, like a person recovering from a serious illness, sitting there lonely.

When he woke up, he didn't doubt what Allen said. At this time, Thorin Oakenshield also hoped that his father was alive.

He had also considered the reactions of all parties after they took back the Lonely Mountain, especially the half-orcs.

Now Alan said that the orcs would attack the Lonely Mountain, which was no different from what he had guessed before, so he believed it immediately.

Of course, the friendship between Allen and him also played a big role in it. Would he believe anyone who told him anything?

"Then I have a suggestion, Thorin, do you want to listen to it?"

"Tell me."

Thorin Oakenshield's voice was still weak at this moment, as if he was fighting with something all the time.

"I got the news that Azog led an elite army of more than 1 half-orcs to march here."

Allen looked at Thorin Oakenshield with erratic eyes, and knew that he had to hurry up.

He continued: "If you want to hold on to the Lonely Mountain that you took back with great difficulty, then you need Thranduil's help."

Thorin Oakenshield's eyes turned cold in an instant, then fell into confusion, and finally turned into the familiar look of Allen.

He stood up and said, "I know what you mean, you want me to return his Starlight Gem to him in exchange for his help, I can consider it."

Allen looked at Thorin Oakenshield, who was fully awake, and didn't dare to waste any time. He said quickly, "Not only must he return his gems, but he must also pay the elves. If only the gems are returned, Thrands The probability of Yi agreeing to help you is too low, don't bargain, you have no time."

After hearing Alan's words, Thorin Oakenshield fell into deep thought.

Although dwarves are greedy by nature, they are not lacking in shrewdness.

As an outstanding leader of Durin's clan, Thorin Oakenshield, who had woken up from the dragon's disease, knew that the treasures piled up in the Lonely Mountain were only a small part of the huge wealth here.

As long as he can defend the lonely mountain, regain the throne, and reassemble his clansmen, gold and gems will flow into his hall again like a river.

Sober, he quickly made a decision.

"Okay, I agree, Bahrain, draw up a contract, say that I am willing to return half of Thranduil's family heirloom gems first, and as a token of sincerity, hire the army of the King of the Woodlands to help me defend the orphan from the attack of the orcs. Shan; after I succeed, I will return the remaining gems, and at the same time give my... one-fifteenth of my treasure, no, one-thirtieth of my treasure to Thranduil as a reward."

After Thorin Oakenshield finished speaking, his expression changed quickly, and he sat back down again.

And Bahrain has found the parchment, and quickly wrote the contract.

The old man still knew that, if what Allen said was true, this contract might be the only straw to save Lonely Mountain.

And when this contract was presented to Sorin Oakenshield, Sorin Oakenshield refused to write for a long time. Seeing his erratic eyes, Allen was shocked, and knew that the treasure was mentioned, and this guy started to fall ill again. up.

At this time, Bilbo Baggins came over and said, "Thorin, what are you hesitating about? Isn't this the best choice now?"

Seeing the anxious face of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield actually regained his senses, took a pen and signed his name, and then slowly walked towards the throne of Lonely Mountain without saying a word.

Allen put away the contract, and then followed Balin to the depths of the Lonely Mountain.

Bahrain took Alan to the place where there are treasures in the lonely mountain. Even though he had seen this spectacular scene in the movie, Alan still took a deep breath, looked at the palace full of treasures in front of him, and was stunned. In situ.

Balin smiled at Alan's reaction. Although he was still very worried about the state of Thorin Oakenshield at this time, the news that King Selan was still alive made him feel a little better.

He patted Allen with a smile and said, "How is it? Allen, one-fifteenth of this belongs to you. After the war is over, I will personally bring these treasures to your territory as a guest. "

Allen reacted from the shock when he heard it, thinking to himself, sure enough, no one doesn't like treasure, it's just a matter of quantity.

He said politely to Bahrain: "Whether you carry treasure or not, I always welcome you to come to my territory as a guest."

Balin laughed, his pure white beard fluttered, making this old dwarf inexplicably cute.

After a while, Bahrain processed the Starlight Gem and put it into a box. It was a necklace shining with pure white light, and now there was only half of it inside.

Balin told Allen that cutting off the necklace would not have any effect on the gem, as long as he needed it, he could restore it to its original state at any time.

Allen took the box and heaved a sigh of relief. Things are finally going in a good direction.

Just as Allen took the box, Bilbo Baggins galloped over.

Before he could catch his breath, he told Allen to let him go quickly, because at this time, Thorin Oakenshield actually regretted everything he said just now.

Obviously, Allen's tricks can only last so long, and Thorin Oakenshield, who has fallen ill again, is walking towards this side while cursing.

In his words, he said that Allen had a tongue like a poisonous snake, and he bewitched him with lies, making him act crazy.

Thorin Oakenshield emphasized time and time again that the throne of Lonely Mountain belonged to him, the treasures here belonged to him, and the star gem of Thranduil also belonged to him.

Helpless and somewhat annoyed, Alan looked at Bilbo Baggins and quickly whispered in his ear, "Don't give it to Thorin."

After finishing speaking, Alan, with the contract in his arms and the star gem in his hand, quickly slipped towards the gate of Lonely Mountain under the surprised eyes of Bilbo Baggins.

Not long after, Thorin Oakenshield rushed to the treasure hall, seeing only half of the Starlight Gem left, he was furious.

And Allen had already slipped from the rope at the gate of Lonely Mountain, rode on the elf horse, and ran towards the direction of River Valley City.

While running, Allen suppressed the anger in his heart, and kept saying to himself that he is a patient, don't be treated like a mental illness, the overall situation is the most important thing.

Just like that, Alan returned to River Valley City with a lot of thoughts. At this time, King Thranduil was actually riding on his big horned deer, waiting for him at the gate of River Valley City.

Even if he was as reserved as he, his eyes widened when he saw the box Allen was holding.

 Dementia, I posted the wrong chapter, and said weakly, please ask for a monthly pass, please ask for a monthly pass, it is pitiful, let me pass it away.
