After King Elon left with Queen Galadriel, only Gandalf, Fleung Feng, and the white-robed mage Saruman were left on the platform.

Gandalf walked up to the white-robed mage Saruman, "Now, do you believe it?" ”

Saruman said in a reluctant, "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it...... Sauron's soul didn't die, he was so powerful......"

Gandalf said, "Saruman! Sauron's strategic intentions are already obvious, he wants to occupy the Lonely Mountain, and then let the long-annihilated kingdom of Angmar rise again in the north of the Lonely Mountain! What a land of ice! It is difficult for any race in Middle-earth to set foot on that frozen continent, and if the kingdom of Angmar really rises in the polar regions, we will have no choice but to watch him grow stronger and stronger, and finally form the power to devour Middle-earth! ”

Saruman frowned and said, "I know, I know the importance of the Battle of the Lonely Mountain, but I also have important things to deal with right now. ”

Gandalf asked, "What could be more important than stopping Sauron's plot?" ”

Saruman said angrily, "Gandalf, what do you mean by that?" Can't I see through that? In fact, I've looked further than you, and I think that in order to turn this situation around, we must destroy Sauron's soul once and for all! As long as Sauron is destroyed, the world will be free from the threat of monsters! ”

Gandalf was silent for a moment, "You have a point, but what are you going to do?" ”

Saruman said, "I need more magical power, I need to forge stronger mana rings!" ”

Gandalf sighed, "Saruman, I don't mean to quarrel with you about anything, but I think your plan can be used as a long-term plan, and the top priority is to solve the crisis in the Lonely Mountain first......"

Saruman waved his hand roughly, "It's your business!" The expedition to the Lonely Mountain was originally done by you privately, and you should be fully responsible for this matter, and I, I must focus all my energy on building a stronger mana ring, I don't have time, I can't delay for a moment! That's it! ”

As he spoke, Saruman condensed a teleportation circle, and before leaving, he glanced at Xu Feng.

"Saruman!" Gandalf's tone was earnest, but he couldn't stop Saruman from leaving.

After a scorching blue light, Saruman vanished.

Gandalf sighed helplessly.

Xu Feng walked over with a faint smile, "Lao Gan, this white-robed mage is not authentic." ”

"Saruman......" Gandalf said with a wry smile, "he is the wise among us, he has always led well in the battles of the First and Second Ages, and, like me, he is also a minor god, Maia, and although we disagree on some details, I have no reason not to trust him." ”

Xu Feng nodded slightly, he knew that at this time, he would not be able to convince Gandalf no matter what.

Gandalf grinned at Xu Feng and said, "I really didn't expect that after only a few days of separation, you are already a dragon slayer warrior, and you actually killed Smaug?" I'd love to hear how you did it. ”

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Actually, it wasn't my fault to kill Smaug alone, Bard shot a black arrow, and the black arrow hit the missing dragon scales on Smaug's chest, and then I helped to completely pierce Smaug's heart." ”

Gandalf was shocked and said, "Such an epic battle, is it so simple as you say? ”

Xu Feng smiled: "The scene at that time was quite thrilling, but it was not as thrilling as just now. Queen Galadriel ...... It's really scary. ”

Gandalf laughed, "Don't worry, she has no ill will towards us, in fact, more than 10,000 years ago, she had the heart to conquer all of Middle-earth and drive out the Lord God in order to maintain the independence of Middle-earth, but then she gave up on this idea. And the one who persuaded him to give up his thoughts was me. ”

At this point, Gandalf sighed faintly, "I promised Queen Galadriel, and I told her that the White Council, as the messenger of the Lord God, would bring eternal peace to Middle-earth, where there would be no war, no oppression, no poverty or disease...... However, looking at the tribulations of Middle-earth in these three eras, the origin of all the disasters actually originated from our Lord God...... I...... I'm really sorry for Queen Galadriel, I have betrayed her trust in me. However, I never thought to deceive her, because I also thought that we, the mages of the Holy White Council, could really do it......"

Xu Feng patted Gandalf's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be so sad, Lao Gan, the world can't be peaceful, the world itself is full of strife and unknowns." Moreover, I find that Queen Galadriel has no intention of blaming and resenting you. ”

Gandalf sighed faintly, "I've often wondered what Middle-earth would have been like if we hadn't shown up at the time. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "It's definitely not much better." ”

Gandalf smiled wryly, "You're really comforting. By the way, do you still have Xingyue tea there? Give me two cups, and I think I'll probably be able to recover a few percent of my magical power, and then open the teleportation circle and teleport us back to the Lonely Mountain. ”

Xu Feng smiled: "Yes, but don't worry, we can catch up." ”

As he spoke, he took out two cups of Xingyue tea and handed them to Gandalf.

Gandalf opened a glass and drank it down, then let out a long sigh of relief, "If there was another bag of Shire tobacco, it would be really comfortable." ”

Xu Feng laughed.

At the same time, in the distant palace of the Lonely Mountain King.

The fading of the Eye of Doom also shocked the Lonely Mountain Palace.

The dwarves who were rummaging through the heart of the mountains all stopped, looking at each other without knowing what to say.

Thorin sat on the high golden throne and said in a cold voice, "Why did you stop? Keep searching for the Heart of the Mountains! Without the Heart of the Mountain, we Lone Mountain Dwarves would not be able to suppress the other six dwarven races, and we would not be able to order them to come here to help us fight! Now, it's full of people who covet our treasures! We must find the heart of the mountains! ”

"Yes......" the dwarves continued their search.

With such a large mountain of gold, it is impossible to completely clean it up in a short period of time.

The white-bearded Balin stretched his old waist, walked up the high steps, and said in a deep voice, "Thorin, we must talk. ”

Thorin said coldly, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?" ”

Balin sighed, "I know that the Heart of the Mountains is important to us, but we've been looking for it for a long time, and it's time to make another plan. ”

Thorin said coldly, "You haven't looked carefully enough. ”

"We all want to find gems."

"But, none of you have found it yet!" Thorin's tone grew heavier, and the entire hall echoed with his angry echo.

Balin was stunned and said, "You...... Are you doubting our faithfulness? ”
