The next morning, when it was just dawn, Thorin called out all the drunken dwarves of yesterday.

He was not against the dwarves reveling, but no one could delay the expedition because of the revelry.

Xu Feng and Iron Hammer naturally got up early, and they also wanted to complete the bounty task earlier.

When the dwarves had mounted their horses and reached the east gate, some of the townspeople who had risen early spontaneously greeted them.

Mayor Crane and Captain Thomas were already waiting at the door.

When they saw Xu Feng, they greeted them respectfully.

"Diedi-sama, are you leaving?"

"Lord Diedi, please stay one more day, so that we can have a chance to repay your kindness!"

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "What kind of kindness is not kindness, it's just a gesture." We have very important things to do, and we need to make it easier for Mayor Crane and Captain Thomas. ”

This was said very politely, in fact, as Xu Feng, he could let them go in a commanding tone.

Xu Feng has the Elven Ring of Prince Arsson in his hand, which is equivalent to a token like a prince.

It's just that Mayor Crane and Captain Thomas are well-intentioned, and they really want to keep Xu Feng and the expedition team for a few more days, so no matter what, Xu Feng can't hurt people's feelings.

Mayor Crane sighed helplessly, "Alright, Lord Diedi is doing great things, and we can't be delayed by people like us - Captain Thomas, open the city gates, and let's send Lord Diedi away." ”

"Yes!" Captain Thomas was also full of reluctance, but he could only order his subordinates to open the door.

Xu Feng nodded slightly to Mayor Crane and Captain Thomas, and then urged the shadow chasing BMW under his seat to lead out of Canyon Town.

The townspeople and guards of Canyon Town were all in tears.

Mayor Crane and Captain Thomas were sent all the way out of the North Gate, then onto the Boulevard, and finally to a place called Achet Valley, and finally they were persuaded to return by Xu Feng.

The Achet Valley is a complex valley where expeditions climb the slopes, then climb a higher ridge and descend through a low-lying forest before passing through the Achet Valley to the next town, the town of Chaitlin.

In the dense forests of the Achet Valley, the expedition did not run into particular trouble.

After all, this road can be regarded as an official road, and humans often pass through here to go to the elven kingdom of Rivendell, and often the elven envoys of King Elon pass through here to visit the territory of the human race.

Although the road is a bit deserted, you can still see some strange flowers and plants that bloom with blue light along the way.

According to Gandalf, these beautiful flowers and plants were planted by the elves.

Chili couldn't help but want to pick one, but was stopped by the well-informed Balin.

Balin shook his head, "Don't move, the elves will know that you have hurt their flowers, and they will be especially unfriendly to you." ”

Chili was surprised and said, "Can they know that I picked their flowers?" ”

Balin smiled: "Well, I'm not sure, but, the legend says so, we're about to go to Rivendell, the territory of King Elrond, so it's better not to get into trouble." ”

Chili pursed his lips, not very convinced by Bahrain's words.

Solin said coldly: "Hmph, the elven clan is really cold and arrogant, thousands of plants in this world can be touched, but their plants can't be touched!" Elves are also a perfidious race, they look elegant on the outside, but in reality they are cold on the inside, and if the situation is not in their favor, they will abandon their allies and turn away. ”

Gandalf frowned and cleared his throat.

Thorin said coldly: "Gandalf, even if you don't want to listen, I still have to say that the elves are a group of people who seem to be righteous, but they are treacherous. The reason why I agreed that you would take me to Rivendell this time was just to get through here, to the Lonely Mountain. ”

Gandalf took a sip of Charles tobacco, "Thorin, if you still have such an attitude when you get to Rivendell, then you might as well let me negotiate, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Thorin said coldly, "Okay, I don't want to talk to the elves anyway, so I'll leave it to you to negotiate." ”

Seeing that Thorin's face was not very good, the dwarves in the team did not dare to say anything, and continued to move forward in silence.

Bilbo couldn't help but be curious, and asked Bahrain beside him in a low voice, "Lord Bahrain, can I ask you a question?" ”

Bahrain is the oldest of the dwarves, having experienced not only the Battle of the Blue Mountains but also the Battle of Smaug 60 years ago, so if you want to ask questions about the dwarves, then Bahrain is the best choice.

Bahrain hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Bilbo, don't call me Lord, you just call me Bahrain, you saved our lives, so no matter what the question is, please just ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

Bilbo asked in a low voice, "Why does Thorin hate the elves so much?" As far as I know, the elves are very beautiful and kind, so why does Thorin have such a big opinion of them? ”

Balin sighed slightly, "This matter, I'm afraid it has to start with Smaug seizing our Lonely Mountain Palace, back then, Smaug suddenly arrived, King Thor urgently asked for help from the three alliances of humans, dwarves, and elves, the human troops and dwarf troops mobilized very slowly, and there was no time to support, and the nearest king of the jungle elves, Thranduil, was the first to arrive. Thranduil used to be a friend of King Thor, and when King Thor had the heart of the mountains, Thranduil had come to worship King Thor many times, but this time, when Smaug's dragon's breath flame burned over the palace of the Lonely Mountain, Thranduil had already arrived, but he stood hundreds of meters away, standing still, his face full of cold pride. King Thor kept asking Thranduil for help, but Thranduil just stood there and watched, and finally as the dragon's breath flame spread, the entire palace of the Lonely Mountain was in flames, and all the dwarves in the palace could not bear it and ran out, while Thranduil turned his mount and left with his troops without a sound. ”。

Bilbo was surprised and said, "And this kind of thing? This...... Unlikely, right? At the same time, the Alliance, Thranduil is an elf, how can he not be saved if he dies? ”

Balin smiled bitterly, "Well, you're going to have to ask Thranduil himself, of course, I'm afraid you won't see him, because since Smaug took the palace of the Lonely Mountain, Thranduil has rarely come out of his dark forest, maybe because of guilt." This is also the reason why Thorin does not like elves, he thinks that elves are treacherous. ”
