Thorin recounted the kingdom of Yamashita founded by his grandfather, the first king of the Lonely Mountain, the town of the Old River Valley that thrived on the dwarven king of Irub, and the dragon Smaug who came to destroy everything.

"I was also very adventurous back then, and I used to run around, which happened to save my life and avoid that disaster, but I still saw the evil deeds of the dragon to Iruber and Riverdale."

"I and some other surviving companions, watching from afar, weeping, cursing Smaug, and worrying about my family, unexpectedly, my father and grandfather joined us in black."

"After that, we left there and traveled around the continent, earning a meagre amount of money, and sometimes even had to work as a blacksmith or dig a coal mine, but we never forgot the treasure that had been taken away by force, even now, when we were barely out of poverty."

As he spoke, Thorin was really caught up in his memories of the old days, and it wasn't until finally he suddenly seemed to realize something, "I often wonder how my father and grandfather escaped from the closed royal capital of Irub, and now I understand that they must have a secret passage for the royal family, and only they know about it. Still, obviously, they made the map as well, and I'm curious to know how Gandalf got his hands on it, and why I wasn't up to me to inherit what was mine. ”

When he said this, Thorin looked at Gandalf's gaze and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, Thorin was originally a suspicious person.

At this moment, even when he faced Gandalf, he was also a little suspicious in his heart, after all, it was Gandalf who prevented him from going to Denland to find his father.

"I didn't get it, it was given to me by someone else, you remember your grandfather, Thor, who was killed by the orc Azorg in the mines of Moria."

Gandalf glanced at the suspicious dwarf, but spoke patiently to Thorin.

"Curse that name! Yes, I remember it well. ”

Thorin heard Azog's name. I can't help but grin a little, this is his worst enemy in life, and it is also the origin of his oak shield nickname.

"Your father, Thorne, left you a hundred years ago last Wednesday, April 21st, and you haven't seen him since."

Gandalf continued, and Thorin couldn't help but nod his head with concern when he heard this, Thorin naturally wouldn't forget about his father's affairs.

"And your father gave me this thing, and I ask me to pass it on to you."

"You can't blame me if I choose a time and place that isn't your liking. It's hard to imagine how much effort it took me to find you. ”

"When your father gave me this map, he didn't even remember his name, and certainly didn't tell me your name. I think it's a miracle that I was able to find you, and I deserve praise and thanks. ”

Gandalf stroked his long gray beard and watched as Thorin spoke as if an elder was teaching a junior, but his words were clearly hiding a lot of things.

"I still don't get it."

Apparently Thorin also felt that Gandalf's explanation was not clear enough, and still looked at Gandalf with some confusion, in fact, Bilbo, who was attracted to attention next to him, had the same feeling.

Only Zhu Linglu knew everything in his heart. smiled faintly, but Zhu Linglu didn't say a word.

"Your grandfather, before he left for the mines of Moria, gave this map to his son for safekeeping. After your grandfather was killed. Your father is going to test his luck with this map, he has been through all kinds of terrifying adventures, but he has not had time to get close to this mountain. I don't know how he got there, but when I found him. It's trapped in a necromancer's dungeon. ”

Gandalf really didn't want to say such a thing to Thorin, but in order to dispel the suspicious dwarf's strange thoughts, he had to tell Thorin in detail.

"What are you doing over there?"

Heard the word necromancer. Thorin frowned, but he was still skeptical.

"You don't have to worry about that. As usual, I went there to pursue the truth, and it was a real, and even I, Gandalf, could barely save my life. I tried to rescue your father, but it was too late, he became demented and only knew how to run aimlessly, losing almost all his memories except for this map and key. ”

Gandalf naturally didn't want to go into details, anyway, he had already planned everything, the Holy White Council would launch an attack on Dolgodo to deal with the necromancer.

"We've taken revenge on the orcs of Moriath a long time ago, and perhaps we should think about this necromancer."

Hearing this, Thorin's eyes couldn't help but flash slightly, he had defeated the pale orc Azog and cut off one of his hands, which was regarded as avenging his grandfather.

Now that he heard that his father had fallen into the hands of a necromancer, he naturally wanted to avenge his father.

"Don't be too arrogant! He's a terrifying foe with more power than any dwarf, and even if you could rally all the dwarves again from the four corners of Middle-earth, you wouldn't be able to defeat him. Your father's last will was for his only son to take over the map and make good use of it. It's dangerous enough to deal with the dragon and reach the mountains on the map! ”

Gandalf glanced at Thorin, he knew how terrible the Demon Lord Sauron was, this was not an enemy that this dwarven prince could face.

"Listen, listen!"

When Bilbo heard all of this, he didn't want the topic to continue, seeing that Thorin seemed to be going on to provoke other terrible necromancers.

So he wanted to divert everyone's attention, and accidentally, he said too loudly.

"Listen to what?"

Everyone was indeed attracted by Bilbo's cry and turned their heads to him.

"Well, I think you should go east and have a good look. After all, we already know that there is a secret passage, and even dragons occasionally sleep. If you've been sitting in the doorway long enough, you've come up with a solution. And, I don't know what you guys think, but I think I've said enough tonight. How about getting some sleep and getting on your way early tomorrow morning? I'll give you a full meal before you go out. ”

Bilbo was a little hairy by the dwarves' gaze, but he still uttered these perfunctory words out loud, and he couldn't think of any more ideas anyway.

"I guess you mean before we go out, right?"

Thorin looked at Bilbo and said meaningfully, but having heard from Gandalf about his father, Thorin now had no intention of continuing to plan his adventure...... (To be continued......)
