Five hundred and forty-three, the dwarves' plan (1)
"Beyond the icy mountains and fog to the deep cellar caves, we need to set out before dawn in search of beautiful golden sites."
“……”
"Ancient kings and elven nobles, with their own endless amounts of gold and orbs, hammered and forged, caught the scattered brilliance, and hid their swords in the hilt of their swords. Hanging from the silver necklace with the light of the meteor and the crown with the golden silk dragon flame, they capture the light and heat of the sun and the moon. ”
“……”
"The bells in the valley are ringing, the human expressions are in a hurry, and the dragon's eyes are stronger than the flames, destroying the towers and halls."
"The mountains were covered in smoke under the moonlight, and the dwarf heard the sound of the doomsday trumpet, and fled the hall but fell into danger, and under his feet, under the moonlight, there was still no escape."
"Lamenting in the misty mountains in the distance, the ancient caves of the deep cellars are dark, we need to leave before dawn, and we will not hesitate to fight him in order to inherit the harp and gold!"
The dwarves sang in a deep voice, like bards, in which they recalled what had happened in the Lonely Mountain.
They sang the praises of the dwarves for the riches and treasures they had created in the Lonely Mountain, and lamented the cruelty of the dragon Smaug to their former homeland and to the humans of Riverdale, turning everything to the end with fire.
This long singing voice touched Zhu Linglu's heart again and again, even if he was already familiar with the plot, but now that he heard the singing of these dwarves, he could still feel something else.
Zhu Linglu was also secretly observing the hobbit Bilbo, although at the moment Bilbo's living room was dim, the fire in the fireplace had been extinguished, and he could only see dimly through the faint night light through the window.
But Zhu Linglu could still observe the change in Bilbo's expression, and with the dwarf's singing, Bilbo's eyes really flashed with a strange brilliance, obviously as described in the original novel, the adventure-seeking bloodline of the Tuk family in Bilbo's body was revived.
Bilbo's adventurous heart was touched, and he also wanted to see the great mountains in the dwarven song. Want to explore the dwarven cave capital, and want to wear a sword instead of a hobbit cane.
For the dwarven treasure described by the dwarves, Bilbo also had some expectations, even if he couldn't keep it for himself, he wanted to take it in his hand and enjoy it.
It was only when he heard the end, hearing the dwarves' descriptions of the evil dragon Smaug, that his heart tightened, and he let his mind return to reality.
Sure enough, just as in the original plot, Bilbo shivered in the darkness and fumbled to his feet, trying to hide behind the barrels in his cellar. Wait for the dwarves to leave before they come out.
Lest these dwarves take him on dangerous adventures, Bilbo seemed to soften at the thought of the terrible dragon.
However, these dwarves all seem to have some night vision, so in this dimly lit living room, all the dwarves' eyes shimmer and look at the hobbit.
Bilbo's small actions completely broke the original atmosphere, and every move was in the eyes of these dwarves.
As a result, all the dwarves stopped playing and singing, and looked straight at the hobbits, who were sneaking around. In their eyes, Bilbo at this time has a bit of a snitch posture.
"Where are you going?"
Thorin, who was already a little unimpressed with Bilbo's identity as a snitch, asked Bilbo in a very stern tone, and he seemed to have guessed what the hobbit was thinking.
"I just want some light. May I? ”
Bilbo's gaze swept over the glittering dwarves, and then, in a timid voice, asked Thorin.
It was as if Bilbo had become a guest and Thorin had become the owner of the cave house.
"We love the dark. Darkness is suitable for secret discussions! ”
Thorin waved his hand, then looked up at the sky outside, as if it felt like the time was about right. Then he made a gesture to the other dwarves.
The other twelve dwarves put down their instruments and straightened their postures to listen to Thorin's next words.
And Bilbo was overwhelmed by Thorin's momentum, and couldn't help but say, "Of course, of course! ”
Bilbo then tried to sit down in his place, but accidentally missed his bench and bumped into the tongs and shovel next to the fireplace, causing a noise in the darkness.
"Be quiet! Listen to what Thorin has to say! ”
Gandalf reached out and grabbed Bilbo so that the hobbit wouldn't make any more trouble.
And Zhu Linglu also knocked on the pipe in his hand, and he was finally about to get to the point, and the next should be the same as the original plot.
Sure enough, Thorin opened politely at the beginning, thanking Bilbo for his hospitality, and then told about the agreement he had made with Gandalf.
"We are here to discuss the preparations for our upcoming adventure, which we must embark on before dawn."
"Some of us, if not all, of us may not be able to return from this trip. It was a serious moment, and we were all clear about our goals. To the venerable Mr. Baggins, Mr. Haven from the East, and a few younger dwarves, we may have to briefly explain what is really going on......
Thorin said what he was about to say very seriously, and finally his gaze swept over Bilbo, Zhu Linglu, and the youngest dwarves, Chili and Fili.
"Ever since Mr. Gandalf and I discussed this adventure, I have been determined to return to the Lonely Mountain, but our people, and the other Dwarven Six, have no faith in it, they say, this mission is ours, only ours!"
"But I believe the time has come! Ravens have been seen flying back into the mountains, and as prophesied in, the reign of the wild beasts will come to an end when the birds of yesteryear return to Irub. ”
"Although there are only thirteen of us, and we are not the best thirteen, we are all warriors, and every single one of them is! And now we have two wizards in our ranks, and although we are not familiar with Mr. Haven from the East, we both know Gandalf! ”
Thorin felt that he really needed to cheer up the twelve dwarves here, so he first uttered a so-called prophecy, and then pushed Gandalf out.
Hearing Thorin's words, the other twelve dwarves turned their heads to look at Gandalf with some admiration, and the youngest of them, Chiri, couldn't help but ask Gandalf, "Gandalf, you must have killed hundreds of evil dragons back then, right?" ”
"Ah, uh, no, I wouldn't say that!"
Gandalf couldn't help but be a little embarrassed by Chili's questioning, but at the moment he also knew what Solinti was for, so he didn't deny it directly.
"And how many are there?" Filip the dwarf couldn't help but ask, like his brother.
"What?"
Gandalf began to pretend that he couldn't hear clearly, he didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to lose his morale.
"How many dragons have you killed?" "Say, tell us the number!" ”
The dwarves were reluctant to give up on Gandalf, and they did want to gain some confidence from Gandalf...... (To be continued......)
