Chapter 426: The Lonely Mountain Expeditionary Force Officially Set Off
With so much money, if I could get it from that cat, I might not need to go to Gushan at all.
Ahem
Gandalf looked at Thorin and coughed twice. Thorin said nothing. Garfield turned to Gandalf and asked: "Gandalf, is your QQ ringing?"
I don't know what Garfield said, but Gandalf said to Thorin: "Thorin will go to the Lonely Mountain first. If that doesn't work, maybe you can talk to Garfield if he is willing."
Garfield squinted his eyes and glanced at Gandalf and Thorin: "I know what you want to say, and I can support you, but Gandalf, everything has to pay a price."
Price
Thorin thought for a while and told Garfield: "If I take back the Lonely Mountain, I will repay it tenfold."
Garfield shook his head: "I'm not a movie maker. I'll repay you ten times or something. I'm not short of money, you know?"
This....
If money is not required, then there is only one other option, which is the allegiance of the Turin dwarves. Thorin weighed the pros and cons and prepared to reply to Garfield.
Garfield was one step ahead of him: "Thorin, you don't need to answer me now. You need time to think. For the future king, you must remember that the future of your country's citizens is all about going back. Don't make decisions easily.
, I am the cat who came here, so listen to me.”
Could this cat really be an emperor of a certain era?
Thorin corrected his attitude and asked Garfield: "May I ask which era you were the king of?"
"It's Emperor Thorin. I am the emperor. I have more men than your dwarves, but they are not in this world. I can bring them here if necessary, but the price paid is too high. It is not worldly money.
Available for purchase"
If in an ancient empire, its subjects entered the kingdom of death or a certain divine realm, the materials needed to resuscitate them were indeed beyond the reach of secular gold coins.
Thorin thought for a while and asked Garfield, which king are you?
"Of course it's the Hi Claw Empire. Needless to say," he picked a gold brick and handed it to Thorin: "See, it's this sign."
Thorin looked at the symbols on the cat's paw gold brick and carefully recalled some of the ancient information he had learned in his memory, but found nothing.
Gandalf took the gold brick handed to him by Thorin, carefully observed the cat's paw mark on it, and frowned: "Well, I really think I saw it there. In ancient times, the signs of the druids were very good.
I want to be similar to it, but there are some differences. Some orcs really want to use similar ones, but you are not them."
Garfield rolled his eyes directly: "Gandalf, don't look at me. I am not in this world. If you ask again, you will die. Also, will you accept my money?"
A group of dwarves shook their heads
"This has been bought by us Blue Mountain dwarves for 100 years"
"Yeah, we can't afford it even if we sell it"
"e=))alas"
“You can buy a lot of delicious food”
Of course it was the fattest dwarf, Pangbo, who said this. He is Bofur's biological brother. One of them is a thin man. The sharp contrast is that they are actually brothers. Can you believe it?
"Okay, okay, forget it if it doesn't work." After taking back most of the gold bricks, Garfield kept one and threw it to Bofur: "Treat this as mine, and you can give me back a double share after you capture Lonely Mountain." "Thank you, but what is your choice, King Garfield?"
"Bilbo will come. This is his destiny, just like Thorin and yours." As he said this, Garfield heard a very light and very light footsteps in the distance. It should be Bill the Hobbit.
Bo is here.
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll sign it, I'll sign it"
Bilbo came so openly that the other dwarves were surprised. Thorin didn't say anything on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart, because he knew that Smaug, the dragon, had seen almost all creatures in the world, except for hobbits. As long as the dwarves stepped into
It will know the Lonely Mountain Castle in one step, wake up and kill all the creatures around it.
Naturally, Bilbo didn't know that Garfield and the others had set up a bet. Bilbo was carried onto a group of ponies, and he watched in embarrassment as the dwarves began to allocate money to the winners.
Garfield looked at these gold coins with contempt. The gold content of these gold coins was less than 30%, and the purity was not as high as the cat's claw gold bricks in his hands. Although Thorin and the others did not have that much money now, they had been engaged in the smelting industry for many years.
The value of the gold in Garfield's hands was immediately obvious, so it was not empty talk that they said they could hire them. Blue Mountain has been here for hundreds of years.
Gold is a heavy metal and a soft metal at the same time. Pure gold cannot be used to make practical utensils. The wear and tear of gold coins is too high and the loss outweighs the gain. The gold coins of Middle-earth are made with a small amount of aluminum, a small amount of copper, and a small amount of iron.
Made.
Wear-resistant and durable, it can be stored for a long time and is relatively light, so it can be carried for a long time.
Bilbo joined the team, and all the members of the Lonely Mountain Expeditionary Force were present. The extra Garfield and a certain mysterious assassin Garfield had a general direction. There was a natural aura on the other party's face, and he should be those who like nature.
Elves have something to do with it. In this era, the only person with great abilities among elves is one elf. That elf did not appear in the movie, but it plays an important role in the original work.
Well, as for what it’s called, Garfield said he honestly can’t remember it. In the movie, it’s the elf princess Arwen/Arwen. Here, Garfield really wants to complain about the movie, giving up a legendary elf. In fact, she’s pretty awesome, okay?
I lived in Rivendell for who knows how many years, and later followed the elves of Rivendell back to the Holy Land of Aman.
The dwarf's little pony was not very fast, but its endurance was pretty good. The team's walking speed was also very slow. After several days of walking, they walked out of this peaceful land and began to move towards the uninhabited area. As they walked along the way, there were naturally no people living on the road. The road became rugged and narrow, and the road was not always peaceful. Although it was still the main route for human walking, some corpses and caravan exhaust were seen on the road.
You can see from the carriage what they have been through.
Fortunately, there are no corpses of dark creatures on these roads. The reason for such chaos should be caused by some bandits. The farther away from the cities where humans live, the more desolate the roads become. There are fewer axle marks on the roads, leaving less traces of human existence.
What is surprising is that there are more signs of activity among some dwarves.
None of this is a big deal to Garfield. Only these dwarves are occasionally surprised and can infer which tribe of dwarves they are from through some traces.
After walking for a few more days, the team was preparing to spend the night near a farm with exhaust gas. Garfield smelled a stench not far from the team.
