Chapter 119 King, Home, Female Dwarf

"Light...out of light!"

Thorin was stunned. He looked at the distant mountains, quickly took out the map in his hand, and murmured to himself: "The last light of Durin's day, the last..."

"Thorin, even if the door is opened, we can't deal with the dragon without travelers." Balin said in a complicated tone.

"No, it's impossible!" Thorin kept mumbling to himself as if he hadn't heard anything. He looked at the distant mountains and then at the rock wall: "I will never fail like this, I can never fail like this.

.."

"Thorin, let's face reality. If we think of a way now, we might be able to save them," Sharda said.

Thorin still ignored it. He took off his face mask and slapped the rock wall frantically, trying to find the secret keyhole.

"Thorin."

"Thorin!"

The dwarves couldn't stand it any longer, and they all called for their king.

"Shut up!" Thorin turned his head suddenly, and everyone could see his red eyes.

"What are you still standing for? Why don't you come together to find it? Don't you want to go back to Erebor? Don't you want the wealth of the Lonely Mountain?"

The dwarves were startled. Balin sighed and said, "Thorin, you can't find it. The keyhole has been enchanted. Now it doesn't exist on the rock wall at all. It can only be found under certain conditions."

will appear."

"No, no!" Thorin shook his head and turned around unsteadily.

"You don't care at all, right? If you had come together to look for it just now, we would have found it, but you only think about travelers and Sarin——"

He almost gritted his teeth: "Haha, Mithril Hammer, Sarin Mithril Hammer!"

"Thorin, we don't-" the dwarves explained in panic, but Thorin interrupted them forcefully.

"I already knew it, do you think I didn't notice it?"

Thorin said to himself: "You obey the traveler's words, you worship Sarin, you think that I am inferior to a female dwarf, and you are resentful of me, even my relatives, my nephews, Kili, and Fei

Power."

"You have already forgotten who is your king——"

His long-term depression and anger finally broke out at this moment. Hundreds of years of anticipation, forbearance along the way, and obsession with the wealth of the lonely mountain made him say words that stung the dwarves more than the blade of a sword.<

/p>

"Disloyal!"

The moonlight rose, and the silver-white light shone on Thorin's face. He no longer had the appearance in the minds of the dwarves, but turned into a gray, fearsome skeleton.

"You are betraying! You are betraying me, you are betraying Erebor——"

His tone became more angry every sentence, and in the end he even roared:

"You have betrayed Durin!"

These heart-wrenching words made all the dwarves feel like they were struck by lightning.

That is a curse that causes dwarves more pain than death.

The heartbreaking screams of the ferocious beasts came closer and closer, but the dwarves remained motionless, like stone statues.

Until a familiar voice woke them up.

"Avoid it quickly! Avoid it!"

The dwarves were shocked. They turned around and saw that under the moonlight, dwarves in silver-white armor were riding on the neck of the ferocious beast. The ferocious beast seemed to have lost its direction and fell straight towards the cliff platform.

Come.

"Salin... It's sandy forest!" The dwarves woke up from a dream and quickly separated to both sides.

The ferocious beast fell heavily on the platform, accompanied by roars and screams, as well as Sarin's laughter.

She turned over and got off the beast, yelling: "Where's my hammer? Let me smash this beast!"

"It's already dead...Sha...Shalin, how...how could you..."

The dwarves were stunned. They never imagined that Shalin would come back in this way.

"Ha! This is a good story!"

Salin said proudly: "I blinded its eyes, making him lose vision, and then controlled it to fly back."

Although there is a little bit of luck.

Well, in fact, more than a little bit, the ferocious beast didn't listen to her control at all, it just flew around and then bumped into it.

This sentence is not impressive when spoken, so Sarin selectively ignored it.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the dwarves, Shalin was very happy, but she actually felt that she would never come back.

"By the way, Tang Sen——"

Then she slapped her head and turned the beast's body over with force, and saw Tang Sen stuck in the beast's claws.

The spikes on the armor penetrated deeply into the beast's flesh and even got stuck in the bones. It took a lot of strength for Shalin to pull Tang Sen out.

Fortunately, the spikes did a great job. After all, during this period, the beast tried to throw Tang Sen down more than once.

"I feel a little dizzy."

Tang Sen stood there and swayed: "Damn, luckily I don't have a fear of heights."

"Hahahaha! As long as you're fine." Shalin laughed and said, "I said, before I fall down, I will never let anything happen to you!"

Tang Sen took off his mask and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

As expected, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Even after all the preparations, it almost capsized in the gutter.

As expected, war is not that easy to play around with. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly and there is too much uncertainty.

"My ability to protect myself is not enough."

Tang Sen quickly reviewed the accident. It was not that the dwarf guards he had formed were not strong enough. He had never underestimated the dangers he would encounter at the foot of Lonely Mountain. The essential problem that happened was because of his own strength.
p>

Even if the number of dwarves is doubled, or the borrowed elves are doubled, as long as you are still the weakest point in the team, the enemy will seize the opportunity if the team cannot protect you.

Not this time, there will be a next time.

Tang Sen deeply realized this. Although he relied on his wealth, he often did not need to do it himself, but not doing it and being unable to do it were two different things.

"In addition to bodyguards, I also need to have my own strength to face the increasingly dangerous and changeable world in the future."

After the review was completed, Tang Sen came back to his senses and forced himself to regain his clarity and rationality.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed, there are more important things to do next.

"Traveller, I'm glad to see you can return safely." Bahrain said sadly: "But we...failed."

Tang Sen looked around the dwarves, and finally stopped at Thorin's exposed face. From their postures, Tang Sen discovered some clues.

It seems that Thorin has begun to lose his mind as he expected.

This was faster than Tang Sen expected. Tang Sen expected that the future dwarf king would be completely crushed after seeing the mountains of wealth.

Maybe it’s because Sarin’s performance was too good.

This is a good thing, and it is also the result of Tang Sen's constant inducement. He kept his face and asked: "What failed?"

"We missed the last light of Durin's Day." Sharda said: "We will never enter Erebor again."

"Sauron's army will sweep across the entire Middle-earth, and the Lonely Mountain will become a paradise for dark creatures." Balin almost cried: "And we..."

He glanced at Thorin and choked up: "We no longer have a home."

Not only the Lonely Mountain, they have been abandoned by the king, and even Eredron cannot return. Their only fate is to become despised refugees and rot in the gutter.

"Really?" Tang Sen looked at Thorin: "Have you given up? Thorin Oakenshield?"

Thorin exuded a gloomy aura: "Traveller, our agreement is over, and this farce is over."

"You and your loyal dwarves can go wherever they want, the ending will be the same anyway."

"I'm not going anywhere." Tang Sen shook his head: "My purpose of coming here has not been completed yet."

"It's ridiculous." Thorin sneered: "Are you still going to say such nonsense that travelers always have a way?"

He vented angrily: "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have wasted so much time, we wouldn't have missed that light, and now we are in the hall of Erebor!"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to see the Misty Mountains." Tang Sen had no reaction to the other party's incompetent rage, and just said calmly: "Thorin Oakenshield, I can give you immortality, and I can also give you death.

”

"Don't expect me to be as kind as a wizard."

"Tang Sen -" Shalin couldn't help but speak. She didn't know what happened before. In her simple thoughts, one was the king of the dwarves and the other was the traveler leading the dwarves. She didn't want to see the two sides having any conflicts.

There was a conflict, so he said: "Thorin didn't mean to blame you, he just missed the time, so..."
