Chapter 512: Patience
"Really!"
As soon as he heard that he could pick and choose, Yang Gong immediately rubbed his palms, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to do a big job.
Lin Hai immediately frowned, cleared his throat, and gave Yang Gong another look.
Yang Gongzai immediately smiled and retracted his hand, "I'm just joking, how can I be embarrassed?" ”
Thorin laughed and said, "There are countless riches here, you can take as much as you want, you can take whatever you want, you don't have to care at all." ”
Lin Hai smiled and said, "Thorin, we thank you for your kindness, but when we came before, Lord Diedi instructed us not to take the treasures of the dwarves of the lonely mountain, just a white gem necklace." ”
Thorin said with emotion: "Lord Diedi, it's really good. ”
At this moment, Dwarin ran from the door carrying a heavy dwarven battle axe, and said with a solemn face: "Thorin, you must come and see!" ”
Thorin nodded, and immediately followed Dwalin to the makeshift wall.
The others followed, climbing the city walls together.
The morning breeze blows, and the whole mountain scenery is clearly visible, and on the opposite side of their lonely mountain is the broken river valley town.
And the streets and walls of Riverdale were all filled with dense and neat Wood Elf guards at this time.
"That's not a good sign." Dvalin said in a deep voice: "There are at least a thousand people on the other side, and the combat effectiveness of each elven soldier is super strong, it seems that that old thing in Thrandil has been closed to the country for so many years, and he is just hiding his family!" ”
Balin frowned and said, "It is impossible for us to defeat thousands of elven soldiers. ”
Thorin smiled coldly, "I don't think so, if we can recapture the Lonely Mountain, we can guard the Lonely Mountain!" ”
At this time, a unicorn carrying a human quickly rushed towards the lonely mountain.
Thorin shouted, "Get ready for battle!" ”
The other dwarves were immediately on standby.
Chili looked at it and hurriedly said, "That's Bud!" Bard in Long Lake! ”
Groyin also hurriedly said: "Ah! It's really Bard! Bard now holds the title of Dragon Slayer, and his reputation among the townspeople of Long Lake is very high! ”
Thorin said coldly: "He rides a unicorn that only elves can ride, even if he is Bud, he is not a Bard controlled by elves." ”
Chili said eagerly, "Thorin, let's hear what he has to say." ”
Thorin said coldly, "It's okay." ”
After the unicorn galloped to the bottom of the city, Bard spoke first, and said loudly: "I have seen the king of the mountain, the son of Thorne, the king of Thorrin!" I'm glad to see you and the rest of your dwarven friends safe and sound. ”
Thorin raised his head haughtily and looked down at Bard indifferently, "Bard, I remember that you didn't have such an attitude before. ”
Bard was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "You were only a prince before, and now you are the king of the lonely mountain, of course I have to respect you more." ”
"No," Thorin said in a cold voice, "Before, you planned to put me in a water prison in Changhu Town, so that we would never be able to enter the Lonely Mountain. ”
Bud said unabashedly: "Yes, I did that, I did that, if I were given another chance like this, I would still do it - please look at Changhu Town, where there are still choking fireworks, last night, more than a thousand people died in the townspeople of Changhu Town, and even if they are alive, they are all displaced, without help, it will be difficult for us to survive this coming winter." ”
Thorin said coldly, "But they have survived the wrath of Smaug after all, how many people in Middle-earth can be as lucky as them?" Witnessing Smaug's death? Since they're so lucky, I think you'll be able to figure out how to get through this winter. ”
Bard frowned and said, "King Thorin, if you are only targeting my personal grudges, then I promise you that as long as you fulfill your promise to the people of Long Lake Town, I can leave here with my family without touching your light, so as to appease your anger against me." ”
Thorin sneered and asked, "Do you think I'm going to believe you?" Look at the current River Valley Town, full of golden helmets and armor, heavily armed elven guards! ”
Bard frowned and said, "If you're really doing the right thing, why worry about the elven guards within the alliance?" ”
Thorin said coldly, "Perhaps I expected that you robbers would use various excuses to rob the property that originally belonged to our Lone Mountain Dwarves. ”
Bud sighed, "I don't deny that these treasures are yours, but, don't forget, you also promised to give them a life of wealth in front of all the residents of Long Lake. Now that you are a king, and a little gold is enough for the refugees to survive the winter, do you want to go back on your word? That's not the way of kings! ”
Thorin sneered and said, "Bard, I know that your ancestor is the lord of the river valley, and after you become a dragon slayer, it is very likely that you will become the new king of the river valley, but when it comes to being a king, I don't need you to teach me how to do it!" That's right, I promised the residents of Changhu Town, but what I said at the time was just to make Changhu Town rich and make the lake full of gold, but now, your town is gone, so I naturally don't need to keep my promise. ”
Bard was a little annoyed, "Thorin, do you know what you're talking about?" Do you know that you are deceitful and insulting us? ”
Thorin shrugged his shoulders coldly, "Unless, you go back, not in Riverdale Town, but back to Longlake Town, where to rebuild and restore, after you restore Longhu Town, I will definitely personally return you with countless amounts of gold." ”
Bard said angrily, "Rebuild the town of Long Lake? "Where all the buildings have been destroyed by the fire of the dragon's breath, if you want to rebuild and rebuild the foundation that goes deep into the lake, you have to go to the dark jungle to cut down trees that are more than 100 years old! If this kind of thing could have been done thousands of years ago, because there were no monster spiders in the dark jungle at that time, and now, if you let us rebuild Changhu Town at this time, wouldn't it make us all freeze to death and starve to death or be killed by monster spiders? ”
Thorin sneered and said, "That's your problem. ”
Bard gritted his teeth and said, "Thorin, you're really hard-hearted. I'm not here to quarrel with you, but to make peace with you, our refugees are really pitiful, can I talk to you alone? ”
Thorin thought for a moment, then said, "It's okay, you can go to the door." ”
Bard sighed, rolled over and dismounted, and walked over to the gold-watered doorway.
The gold water used to pour the cracks is probably enough for the refugees to cope with the winter.
Bard's heart is extremely unbalanced, but he can only endure it for the sake of peace talks.
