Thorin glared coldly at Balin as if he were glaring at an enemy.

Balin's heart was painful, Thorin's gaze hurt him greatly, and he wanted to leave here immediately, but he knew that he was responsible for Thorin, and he couldn't watch Thorin go down the crazy path of the old king Thor.

Balin took a deep breath and looked back at Thorin with a determined gaze, "Thorin, the Heart of the Mountains is an innate treasure of our Lone Mountain Dwarves, and each of us wants to find it, you don't have to doubt it. ”

Thorin snorted coldly, stood up from his high throne, and walked down step by step.

He walked directly in front of Bahrain and said in a cold voice: "The heart of the mountain is a gem that belongs to the king, and only the king can have it...... Am I not your king? ”

The last sentence he almost yelled at Bahrain.

Balin's lips moved slightly, and he had something to say, but he ended up holding it in his heart.

This is no longer the case.

In the old days, Thorin could sleep with them in a filthy pit and nibble on rough dry food together.

And now, Thorin is wearing the king's robes, carrying the king's crown, and sits on the king's throne.

Every Lone Mountain Dwarf knows that Thorin is a worthy king, but I'm afraid that Thorin himself doesn't feel that he deserves it.

He needs the Heart of the Mountains to solidify his position.

Bahrain suddenly felt that this was pathetic.

They managed to enter the Lonely Mountain and reclaim their homeland, but they also lost a friend.

Wealth and power had taken away the familiar Thorin.

Thorin turned coldly and walked back to his throne.

Before he sat down, he said in a ruthless tone: "Let's talk ugly in the front, if, let me find out, some of you obviously found the heart of the mountain but withheld it privately...... I'll definitely repay him well. ”

With that, he sat back on his throne and looked down at everyone with a cold and arrogant expression.

The dwarves present all buried their heads and continued to search in the golden mountain

Balin, on the other hand, was silent for a while, and then hobbled in the direction of the library.

Bilbo was afraid that Bahrain would not be able to think about it, so he hurriedly followed.

Bahrain hid behind dusty bookshelves, sobbing quietly, like a homeless child.

Bilbo hurriedly walked over and comforted: "Bahrain, are you okay?" ”

"It's the curse of the dragon." Bahrain said with tears in his eyes.

Bilbo blinked in confusion, "What? You? ”

Balin shook his head, "It's Thorin, he must have been cursed by the dragon, his state is exactly the same as his grandfather, the old king Thor, before he went crazy!" I've seen it before, with that look, with that movement, with that look, with that terrible greed, this is the curse of the dragon, Lord Bilbo, who drove the old king of Thor crazy, and now it has befallen poor Thorin again. ”

Even after receiving Thorin's bad words, Balin did not resent Thorin in his heart, but felt that it was only because Thorin was cursed and sick, and he was even suffering for Thorin.

Bilbo hesitated, "But...... As far as I know, Smaug came to the Lonely Mountain after the old king went crazy. ”

Balin opened his mouth and said with a red face: "This can only show that Smaug has long had a plan for our Lonely Mountain, and he has already planted a curse before he arrived. ”

Bilbo sighed helplessly, "...... Well, Balin, given the situation right now, I want to ask you, if Thorin gets the Heart of the Mountains, I mean, if he does, will his curse symptoms lessen a little bit? ”

Balin shook his head with a wry smile, "Thank goodness we haven't found that gem yet." If he did find that gem, Thorin would only get even more crazy, and he wouldn't be able to lessen it. I sincerely hope that Thorin doesn't find the heart of the mountains, so that at least he can be Thorin and not a madman. ”

Bilbo nodded slightly, "I see." ”

He gently patted Balin on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, then walked out of the library and sat down on a chair in the corridor of the palace.

Truth be told, Bilbo had mixed feelings.

The heart of the mountain he carried on his body smelled like a hot potato.

The Heart of the Mountains was of no use to him, and Thorin was desperately searching.

If he doesn't hand it over, if he is really found, he will be in trouble, and Thorin will inevitably think that he is a traitor and retaliate madly against him.

However, if it is handed over, it will be tantamount to really harming Thorin.

That's a real problem.

Bilbo put his hand in his pocket and rubbed it subconsciously.

"What are you doing?"

A majestic voice sounded from behind him.

Bilbo was startled, and quickly stood up and turned to see that Thorin was staring at Bilbo with a gloomy face, like a thief.

Bilbo hurriedly said: "No, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to, I wanted to rest for a while." ”

Thorin shouted coldly, "Take out what you have in your hand and show me!" Have you hidden my mountain heart? ”

Bilbo hurriedly said, "No, no, I'...... Didn't take anything. ”

Thorin grabbed Bilbo's wrist with a hand, "Shine on, show me." ”

Bilbo said bitterly, "Thorin, you're hurting me!" ”

Thorin said angrily, "Show it to me!" Otherwise, you'll be even more miserable! ”

Bilbo reluctantly spread out his palm, and a hazel seed appeared in the palm of his hand.

Thorin was slightly stunned, "Seeds? ”

Bilbo shrugged, "Yes, I picked it up in Rivendell's garden. ”

"But it's just an ordinary seed." Sorin emphasized.

"Yes, I know, but, for me, a hobbit, I have never seen such a tree, most of the wealth in this world is the same, but the trees and flowers are different, and I intend to take this seed back to my pouch hole garden and plant it, so that every time I see this tree, I will recall this adventure."

The expression on Thorin's face changed from confusion to shock and finally to shame.

"I'm sorry, Bilbo, you're my most reliable friend, but I suspect you stole my Mountain Heart. But don't you feel shabby when you go back to your hometown with a seed? ”

"Of course not, I have everything in Shire, I just want to return to my hometown safely now, after going through so many things, if I can return to my hometown safely, it will be such a lucky thing." Bilbo said from the bottom of his heart.

Thorin smiled: "My friend, I will never let you go back empty-handed, I want the whole world to know that you are a good friend of my King Thorin, and I will use the most solemn etiquette to send someone to escort you back." ”

Bilbo hesitated, "Thorin, actually I ......"
