Chapter 394: King Thrandil's Pass Token
Xu Feng said lightly: "I understand, King Thrandil, I will try my best to help you get back the white gem necklace." ”
Lord Thranduil sighed faintly, "After all the things I've been through, it's hard for me to put my hopes in others anymore, but since you can kill a spider lord of Marganis' level, you must be very capable." Again, if you can bring back the white jewel necklace, I can grant you all reasonable requests. ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Okay, then we will make a decision." ”
King Thranduil nodded: "A word is a certainty...... When would you like to go? ”
Xu Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, if I want to leave, I must also take the dwarf expedition team with me." ”
As soon as these words came out, King Thranduil immediately frowned vigilantly, "Why do you want to take them with you, those people are just some stumbling blocks and drag oil bottles!" Carrying them with you will only increase the difficulty! ”
Xu Feng said lightly: "I have three reasons, first, the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain have the key to enter the underground palace in their hands, if we don't have this key, we must enter the Lonely Mountain Palace through the main entrance, and that will alarm Smaug." Second, we have an agreement with the Lone Mountain Dwarf Expedition first, and our task is to escort them into the Lone Mountain Palace. You know, this team was not organized by Thorrin, but by the gray-robed mage Gandalf, and the reason why Gandalf organized this team was not because of poor Lone Mountain Dwarves, let alone because she wanted to get the treasures in the Lone Mountain Palace, what she cared about was the strategic fortress of the Lone Mountain Palace! We have just come from the tomb of the Witch King of Angmar, the tomb of the Witch King of Angmar has been opened by the Spider Lord Malganis, and this means that the Dark Lord Sauron is making a comeback, therefore, the Lonely Mountain Palace and your Woodland Kingdom will become a bridgehead to block the Dark Lord, if the Lonely Mountain Palace is abandoned, then all the pressure will be pressed on your Woodland Kingdom here, Sauron will not let you Wood Elves go because of your policy of closing the country, he needs to capture your Woodland Kingdom, As a relay for his assault on Middle-earth, it was strategically important for Gandalf and I to raise the Lone Mountain Dwarves back to their palace fortresses. ”
Thranduil frowned, "So, even if I hate the Lone Mountain Dwarves, I'm going to help them for the sake of our Wood Elves' future?" ”
"I'm afraid so." Xu Feng nodded slightly, and continued: "And the third reason is still related to you wood elves. The arch-enemy of the Dwarves of the Lone Mountain is not your Wood Elves, but the Orcs under the command of Azog, and we have inflicted heavy losses on the Orcs of Assorg to the west of the Misty Mountains, who are unable to pursue us because of the Misty Mountains. However, his son Bolg got his information and led an elite half-orc wolf cavalry to hunt down the dwarven expedition here in the dark forest, and with their tracking ability, they must have known by now that the dwarves are in your wood elf capital. ”
Thranduil smiled contemptuously, "So what? Am I afraid of those ugly orcs? The capital of the Wood Elves is intricate, and the Wood Elves who don't live here don't know how to get here! And our Wood Elf army is definitely not vegetarian! ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Of course I believe this, but there is a good saying, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves." There are so many people in your Wood Elf City, these food and drink expenses of yours must not be produced by yourself, right? ”
Thranduil was slightly stunned, "No, a lot of food and daily necessities are traded by water from Long Lake Town. We Wood Elves have money, and the population of tens of thousands of people in the entire town of Changhu depends on trading with us to make a living. ”
Xu Feng said lightly: "That's right, the land and water trade is indeed fast and safe, which is why the entire dark jungle is full of monster spiders, but your life has not been affected much." However, Polg's wolf cavalry is much smarter than the monster spiders, and they know that your woodland capital is impossible to conquer, so they will inevitably intercept the passing trade ships from land and water. In a few days' time, you will be in serious shortages of supplies, and when you send out your guards, Polg's wolf cavalry will hide and fight you again. In this way, in less than half a month, your situation will become very difficult. ”
Thranduel suddenly fell into deep thought.
Indeed, the Dwarven Expedition is a hot potato, and while it would have been a great pleasure for Thranduil to put Thorin and his men in an elven prison, the chain of troubles caused by this was many.
Thranduil said lightly, "I can't let go of the Dwarven Expedition, that guy from Thorin is actually barking at me and cursing at us entire Wood Elves." If I let him go like this, my subjects will be dissatisfied with me. As the Lord of the Wood Elves, I want to maintain my dignity and decency, not for myself, but for the sake of the Wood Elves as a whole. ”
"Of course, the three reasons you mentioned are also very reasonable." Thranduil paused and said, "So, if someone lets go of the dwarven expedition, I will definitely not send a heavy force to pursue it. ”
Xu Feng grinned, "I understand, you can't give the order to let them go, but I can save them." ”
Thranduil said lightly, "Smart, in addition, I can also tell you a convenient way to escape from the Wood Elf Capital." ”
Xu Feng smiled: "I know, waterway." ”
Thranduil laughed, "Human, you're really smart, you're smarter than most humans I've ever seen. ”
Xu Feng smiled: "It's useless to just praise me for being smart, I still need you to give me a token for customs clearance." ”
Thranduil said, "You're talking about a clearance token to enter Long Lake Town, right?" ”
"Yes." Xu Feng nodded.
Thranduil then pulled out a square token, on which were written in both elven and human scripts, with intricate elven motifs on the side-by-side edges.
But he didn't give it to Xu Feng directly, but put the token on the table in front of Xu Feng, and then said: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to rest, and I won't wake up until tomorrow morning." ”
Xu Feng grinned: "Understood." ”
Thranduil stood up from in front of Xu Feng and proudly walked out of the banquet platform.
On the huge banquet platform, only Xu Feng was left.
Xu Feng first drank the moonlight wine in the cup, then put down the wine glass, picked up the pass token in front of him, and put it in his pocket.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but said lightly: "Come out, there is no one else here." ”
A short, thin figure stepped out of the shadows in the corner.
It's Bilbo.
