Start with the Eye of Sauron

On this trip, there is little rest on the road.

After a month, they returned from Shire to Erebor, on the Lonely Mountain.

Beside the stone gate into the Lonely Mountain, Thor looked at Bilbo who had been found, and looked at Gandalf suspiciously.

"Is this the so-called halfling? The thief you found?"

Seeing Thor with a ferocious face and his eyes constantly moving up and down hesitantly, Bilbo didn't dare to look him in the face. He lowered his head and nodded silently.

"Can this guy really find the heart of the mountain in the lonely mountain?"

Thor's voice was loud, and the sound made Bilbo's ears tingle a little. Gandalf stood in front of Bilbo and looked at Thor with displeasure.

"Your Majesty, slow down your tone and don't scare him. Halflings are extremely dexterous. Apart from them, no other race can do this job."

Sorin grabbed his grandfather and explained a few words. They also experienced some things together on the way.Knowing his grandfather's temper, he kept Bilbo behind him.

"Let him in, be sure to find that treasure for me, if he brings out the heart of the mountain, I will reward him heavily..."

After saying a few words to Gandalf and Thorin, Thor suddenly became excited. He pushed them away and came to Bilbo.

"Boy, please remember that what you are looking for is a unique gemstone. That gemstone is very special. You can tell it is the heart of the mountain at the first glance."

"Also, there are inexhaustible wealth in the Lonely Mountain. After you get the heart of the mountain, give it to me, and I will naturally reward you generously! Don't try to take away any treasure, even a gold coin! "

A trace of anger rose in Bilbo's heart. The dwarf king in front of him had no sense of asking for help.

He nodded, as he agreed to Sol's request, and then Sol turned sideways and let him enter the lonely mountain.

"Remember kid, don't wake up the guy sleeping in the pile of gold at the other end, don't be attracted by the treasures everywhere after entering there, concentrate on looking for that gemstone, remember?"

Before coming to the Lonely Mountain, Gandalf had said this sentence to Bilbo countless times. Now, before he was about to step into the stone gate, Gandalf stopped him again and told him seriously.

Bilbo agreed with a serious face. Of course he knew what was there, that level of existence, so don't say anything to resist, he can't even put a gap between his teeth.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of dwarves, Bilbo stepped into the lonely mountain. Thorin clenched his fists and sat down beside the stone door, with the expression of a husband who just sent his wife into the delivery room. . .

Bypassing the majestic stone pillars and slowly walking forward along the corridor, Bilbo's sight in front of him became more and more cheerful.

The dwarves have excellent forging technology and extremely powerful architectural ideas, and the scene in the lonely mountain made Bilbo amazed.

"If I didn't step out of Shire, I would never have imagined that there is such a place."

Sighing slightly, Bilbo walked forward silently. During this month, he had seen too many beautiful scenery that he had never seen before, and every picture could make him unforgettable for a lifetime.

Slowly going down the stone steps, Bilbo began to notice that there were some scattered gold coins on the stone steps, and even, at the end of the stone steps, he saw a string of shimmering pearl necklaces.

Without touching the necklace, Bilbo came to the corner and looked down.

Despite all the mental preparations, he still stood there in a daze at this moment, unable to describe how shocking the scene before him was.

Countless gold coins piled up one hill after another, and many precious stones were scattered on the gold piles, and the originally dazzling light was covered by the golden light.

"A palace of gold, a sea of ​​gold..."

Unable to speak, Bilbo walked down in a vain manner. At this moment, he felt that the stone steps under his feet were as soft as cotton.

Silently approaching this so-called ocean of gold, Bilbo swallowed his saliva, and resisted the urge to pounce directly into it, toss it up with a large handful of gold, and then laughed loudly.

I definitely can't ruin my life because of a little material desire.

"Where is the heart of the mountain? How can I find it in such a large area?"

Bilbo finally stepped on the gold, and a large number of gold coins slid under his feet. He carefully looked to the side, and those jewels were casually placed on the gold pile one by one.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation as looking for a needle in a haystack. Bilbo looked at the endless dazzling gold and felt that if he stayed here for a long time, his eyes would be blinded.

Every time the gold flowed under his feet, Bilbo was very careful to lighten his steps, except for the occasional clacking sound of gold coins flowing, the entire palace could hear the sound of a needle falling.

"Where is that evil dragon? Will it suddenly jump out and bite me?"

After starting to roam among the gold piles, the novelty of entering this place began to fade, and a strong sense of fear began to climb in his heart.

That is a giant beast that breathes fire and can cover the sky, he dare not have the idea that he will not be directly burned to ashes.

I really want to turn around, run up, get out of this lonely mountain, and tell Gandalf that I can't complete this task.

Bilbo stopped, his hairs bristling with fear, and he couldn't breathe with tension.

"If I go out now, will those dwarves let me go?"

Bilbo cast his eyes on the nearby gold pile, and slowly groped among the gold piles. With the temper of a dwarf king, he knew that if he didn't bring him the heart of the mountain, he would never end well.

His fingers quietly touched the pile of gold, and Bilbo slowly skimmed off one piece after another of the gold coins. He had seen more than a dozen rings, dozens of necklaces, and a crown studded with jewels, but these Nothing was what he was looking for.

"This place is really too big, how do I find it?"

Bilbo sighed helplessly, this is simply an impossible task, let alone the things that exist beside him, there are so many places, when will he find them.

It is estimated that the heart of the mountain has not been found yet, and it is also possible that I will starve to death here first.

There was another flow of gold coins, and Bilbo stopped subconsciously. After the flow of gold coins, a "short stick" with some raised brown things appeared in front of his eyes.

Putting his hands down, Bilbo stepped on the gold coin and stepped aside, carefully observing what was exposed.

Suddenly, his heart missed half a beat, and he stood still, trembling uncontrollably.

"Smaug!!!"
