Chapter 157 The King's Promise! 【Subscribe】

River Valley Township.

The street after the heavy snow is pure white.

The pure white snow drowned the bloodstains, the dirt, and the pain that the war had brought to this dilapidated city.

On the snow-covered street, a tall figure wearing a chain mail inside, a black delicate fluffy coat on the outside, a long bow and arrows on his back, a sword hanging on his waist, and a black ponytail was walking slowly on horseback.

Beside him, a tall figure in a gray robe and a short figure in a delicate blue jacket were riding on the same horse.

It was morning.

Sunny after snow.

The golden warm sun shining on the white snow has an extra warm feeling.

The three riding down the Dale Road were of course Morgan and Gandalf Bilbo.

Not long ago.

Morgan, who was invited by the Elf King to share breakfast in the king's tent, did not stay in the king's tent for long.

Then he left the Elven King's Tent and bid farewell to Bard with Gandalf Bilbo who was waiting in the Town Hall Square.

And the two horses under the three of them.

These were two of the escaped horses that had been chained at the foot of Raven Ridge yesterday.

It was discovered by the elves who were cleaning the battlefield, and they were sent here.

"Gandalf, after the incident on the Lonely Mountain"

Riding steadily on the snow-covered streets, looking away from the residents of River Valley Town who appeared from time to time, Morgan turned his head to look at Gandalf, who was one behind him, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Hearing Morgan's words, Gandalf turned his head, took down the tobacco rod in his mouth and said, "After that, I should go to Rivendell (that is, Rivendell) to live for a while. I left too hastily last time."

"And you Morgan?"

"Would you like to go to the valley with me, I think Lord Elon will welcome you very much."

Gandalf put the cigarette rod back on, took a puff, and asked Morgan while exhaling the smoke.

“Go to Rivendell”

Hearing Gandalf's words, Morgan felt a little moved.

Speaking of which, although he had thought that after the Lonely Mountain incident was over, he would go to Rivendell, the capital of elves, to have fun in the future, but it was definitely not now.

The first stop on his mind was the Shire, visiting his hometown of Hobbiton with Bilbo.

Morgan and Bilbo mentioned this plan after the expedition team escaped from the dungeon of the Woodland Kingdom and was intercepted and killed by the half-orcs led by Borg, drifting to Long Lake Town.

Later, after Tariel found Morgan, Morgan thought about going to Mirkwood with Tariel to live for a while after the Lonely Mountain incident was over.

Later, Morgan also thought about whether to continue living in River Valley Town or Lonely Mountain.

Presumably, whether it is Thorin Oakenshield and Kili and the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, or Bard and his three children, they will all be very welcome.

And to Rivendell.

Morgan really didn't have this idea for the time being.

Now being mentioned by Gandalf, Morgan was immediately moved.

He thought it was because he was not very familiar with the Lord Eldron of Rivendell.

It would be embarrassing to go there hastily.

But if Gandalf led the way, there would be no such problem.

What's more, everything that happened in Gushan these days, what I did in it, after things slowly spread.

Presumably, his status and weight will also change accordingly.

It seems that Rivendell is a very good choice for the next stop.

After all, if we only talk about the scenery and food, in Morgan's mind, Mirkwood and Shire can't compare with the beautiful scenery of Rivendell.

After quickly thinking about it, Morgan nodded and smiled: "The scenery of Rivendell is so beautiful, I still miss it from time to time."

"Speaking of which, I really left too hastily last time, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Lord Elon."

"I hope Lord Elon will not blame me."

Morgan shook his head and smiled.

Gandalf answered immediately: "That's just right, after the incident on the Lonely Mountain is over, you just go to the valley to apologize to Lord Elon."

Seeing the tempted Morgan finished speaking, Gandalf immediately looked at the short figure in front of him and said, "Morgan has decided to go to the valley with me, how about you, Bilbo?"

"what's your plan?"

"I"

Hearing Gandalf ask himself, Bilbo came back to his senses and was just about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Gandalf said directly without waiting for Bilbo's answer: "You have nothing else to do when you go back to the Shire. Why don't you go to the valley with me and Morgan and stay for a while before we talk about it."

"What do you think, Bilbo?"

Hearing that Gandalf Bilbo made decisions for himself again without asking for his own opinion, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I have to go home first. I haven't been back for too long."

"Speaking of which, this is the furthest and longest time I have been away from home."

"It's been too long since I had a good breakfast."

"I miss it, and my lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper"

"I miss my home a lot."

Bilbo shook his head quickly and spoke firmly.

But this couldn't stop Gandalf and Morgan's thoughts.

Hearing Bilbo's words, Gandalf raised his eyebrows and immediately looked at Morgan.

Morgan, who understood in seconds, immediately looked at Bilbo and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Bilbo, you can also have exquisite breakfast and afternoon tea in Rivendell. Didn't we stay there last time?"

"You know."

"The three of us will first go to Rivendell to live for a while, and then we will go to Shire together to visit your hometown Hobbiton."

"what do you think?"

Morgan continued to speak, but Gandalf was also tricked into it.

Hearing Morgan's words, Bilbo, who was originally resolute, immediately loosened his face.

Seeing this, Morgan said again: "Calculating the time, it is already winter. We spent the cold winter in Rivendell, and it will be spring when we return to your hometown of Hobbiton."

"The scenery was beautiful at that time. Last time I was in Hobbiton too short, I didn't have time to appreciate it."

"It just so happens that we will go together next time, just to see the spring in Hobbiton"

Morgan's soft words and big hats were put on respectively.

Bilbo was finally persuaded, and he immediately turned to look at Gandalf behind him and asked, "Is that so?"

"what."

Gandalf was a little confused when asked.

Bilbo continued: "Morgan said that after Rivendell, you're going to visit Hobbiton together?"

Hearing this, Gandalf's expression froze immediately.

After he went to the valley, he had to go to the north for something.

Now that Morgan just said that, Bilbo obviously remembered it.

Gandalf looked helplessly at Morgan.

Morgan shrugged in response.

But it was too late to regret it.

Gandalf had no choice but to nod: "Of course, we keep what we say."

"That's good"

Hearing Gandalf's words, Bilbo smiled immediately, nodded and said, "I promise."

"When the Lonely Mountain incident is over, we will go to Rivendell."

Listen to Bilbo's happy voice.

Gandalf, who was sitting behind him, suddenly looked a little heavy, and said softly: "I hope this time the Lonely Mountain matter can be resolved as desired."

The voice fell.

Bilbo fell silent at once.

Both Gandalf and Bilbo worried that Thorin Oakenshield's attitude would not be the same as before.

If it is still the case, Thranduil and Bard will definitely not give up.

The three allies who have just finished fighting the orc invasion war are likely to ignite the war again.

Morgan, who was walking ahead, was not as worried as the two of them.

Not to mention the elf king Thranduil, he already got the starlight white gemstone necklace that he gave him.

Regardless of Thorin Oakenshield's current attitude.

Thranduil is no longer interested in the Lone Mountain Dwarves.

Now just waiting to go home after clearing the battlefield and dividing the spoils.

As for Bard, in order to show his sincerity, he has already taken out the Arken gem.

At this time, it was in Morgan's pocket.

"Don't think too much, Sorin is not the same as before"

Looking at the two people who were silent behind him, Morgan took out the Akon gemstone in his arms that emitted colorful rays of light, shook it, and said with a smile: There is this one, I believe he will keep his promise. "

Influenced by Morgan's confident smile, Gandalf nodded: "I hope so."

Between the three of them talking.

The two horses had already approached the gate of Hegu Town.

Outside Hegu Town is also a vast white world.

Two horses walked behind the long snow-covered bridge outside the town of River Valley.

Go straight to the opposite lonely mountain and walk quickly.

River Valley Town is not too far from the Eribo Gate.

It didn't take long.

The two horses arrived at the gate of Gushan.

Bofur, the dwarf who was directing the Iron Hills dwarves to repair and destroy the gate outside the gate, immediately greeted the three of them with a happy face.

"Ha ha, Morgan, Bilbo, Gandalf"

"You are finally here."

Bofur took the reins from Morgan and said with a quick smile, "Let's go, they are already waiting."

Handing over the reins to the dwarf beside him, Bofur walked towards the gate with the three of them after speaking.

Walking into the gate, the three of them saw busy dwarves everywhere.

The dilapidated hall, stone pillars, and sculptures that were originally full of dust have all taken on a new look.

This is just a short period of more than one day and less than two days.

The changes before him were so great that Bilbo couldn't help saying, "It's changed a lot."

Morgan hadn't been here before.

But he knew that the dwarves were good at sculpture, and the name of the forging craftsman was famous throughout the Middle-earth world.

"certainly."

Hearing Bilbo's praise, Bofur who was walking in front immediately smiled and said, "This is the gate of our Eribo."

"It symbolizes the revival of our kingdom. Of course, it must be replaced as soon as possible."

"It's definitely not so fast in the kingdom."

"But when our tribe from Blue Mountain arrives, it will be soon."

"If you come back a year later, you will see that the once glorious Kingdom under the Mountain will reappear in this world."

Bofur smiled and introduced the three former partners behind him, and he was in a great mood.

"So, you want to bring the people from Lanshan back to Gushan?"

Morgan shifted his gaze from the various stone pillar statues around him to Bofur in front of him, and asked.

"Yes."

Bofur nodded without hesitation, and continued: "The Lonely Mountain has been taken back by us. Sorin is here, and the people of Blue Mountain will naturally be here."

Listening to Bofur's words, Morgan nodded secretly.

In the memory plot, Thorin Oakenshield and his two nephews Filiqili all died at this time.

The direct bloodline of the Turin royal family was completely severed.

The throne of King of the Mountain is therefore only inherited by the collateral Ironfoot Dyne.

The Iron Hills dwarves also took over the Lonely Mountain.

Now, because of my own participation, the situation is disrupted.

Thorin Oakenshield and Filiqili were all alive.

Naturally, the King of the Mountain has nothing to do with Ironfoot Dyne.

Morgan didn't know whether the next Ironfoot Dyne would be merged into Thorin Oakenshield's command.

But it was very normal for the dwarves far away in the Blue Mountains to be summoned by Thorin at this time.

"This way."

Bofur, who led the way, kept saying as he walked, "All kinds of food and wine from the Iron Hills have arrived this morning, and the scene for the carnival feast tonight has already been set up."

"Then are we going to the banquet hall now?"

asked Bilbo, looking away from his surroundings, looking at Bofur in front of him.

"of course not."

"The banquet hall has not been set up yet, let's go to Sorin and Bahrain now."

Bofur looked back at Bilbo and smiled.

Then he led the three of them into another intersection: "This way."

Follow Bofur all the way.

Morgan is also quietly looking at the internal buildings of the kingdom under the mountain that he saw along the way.

The last time he went from the secret path to the treasure house was too short and rushed, and he didn't have time to appreciate it.

Now being led by Bofur to walk in the Lonely Mountain.

Only then did he understand why a dungeon built under a mountain dared to be called the kingdom under the mountain.

Incomparably wide and vast space, huge and majestic stone pillars, statues, criss-crossing long bridges, various houses and attics built densely on the mountain one after another, all the way deep into the ground, and you can't see the bottom at all.

All the buildings here give Morgan the first impression that they are big and majestic.
As you can imagine, you can see all kinds of giant stone pillars and statues with a length of four to fifty meters that can only be embraced by several adult men. They are only used for decoration, but they will not affect the dungeon space at all.

You can roughly guess how spacious the interior of Gushan is.

Then there is refinement.

Yes.

Even if all the buildings in front of them were covered with an extremely thick layer of dust, many buildings were severely damaged by the evil dragon Smaug.

Morgan can still see that almost all large buildings are carved with various exquisite statue patterns.

Looking at the miraculous underground city in front of him.

Morgan couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Dwarves deserve to be hailed as the best craftsmen in all of Middle-earth.

"Just ahead"

Bofur continued to lead the way.

When a group of people walked across a long stone bridge with exquisitely carved fences, they came to a continuous palace.

A large number of torches burning on the walls brightly illuminate the continuous palace.

Dwarves can be seen busy walking around.

Familiar voices continued to come from the large palace ahead.

Morgan knew his destination had arrived.

"It's here."

Bofur smiled and strode into the palace.

Morgan and Bilbo Gandalf followed and walked in, and saw Balin with a white beard, Godvalin the irritable, and Thorin Oakenshield lying on an exquisite big bed.

The two dwarves, Balin and Dwalin, were standing beside Thorin Oakshield's bed, chatting about something.

Seeing the arrival of the three Morgans at this time, the two dwarves greeted them immediately with happy faces.

"You're welcome, Morgan."

Balin strode forward, stretched out his arms and hugged Morgan with a smile on his face.

"I've heard Thorin talk about what happened on Raven Ridge"

After a brief hug, Bahrain let go of Morgan and said with emotion, "Without your help, the consequences would be disastrous."

"From now on, you will always be my Bahrain best friend"

"what about me"

Balin's voice fell, and Bilbo laughed immediately.

Balin laughed quickly: "Of course, and Bilbo, you too."

"And Gandalf"

Bahrain's ability to warm up and communicate is nothing to say.

Soon, Morgan and Bilbo Gandalf came to Thorin Oakenshield's bed.

"I won't get up, Bahrain said exactly what I wanted to say"

"You will always be our best friends."

Thorin Oakenshield smiled brightly as he watched several people speak.

Looking at Sorin Oakenshield, who was pale after waking up, but whose eyes were extremely clear.

Gandalf and Bilbo, who came with a mission, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But neither of them was ready to speak at this time.

At this time, Morgan's identity was more important than the two of them in Thorin Oakenshield's heart, and Morgan also spoke about the matter that was agreed before.

After a pleasant conversation.

Morgan went straight to the bedside of Thorin Oak Shield, and simply reached out his hand and took out the Arkon gem from his pocket.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on the extremely brilliant and beautiful King of Gems in Morgan's hands.

Sorin Oakenshield is naturally inevitable.

But after being infatuated for a moment, Thorin Oakenshield's eyes quickly regained clarity and moved to Morgan.

This surprised and delighted Morgan, who was paying attention to Thorin Oakenshield.

Thorin Oakenshield looked at Morgan who was about to speak.

Morgan directly pushed the Akenbao drill in his hand towards Thorin Oak Shield, and said softly: "Sorin, I came with the expectations of the residents of Changhu Town."

Just one sentence.

Morgan didn't speak again.

At this moment, all eyes in the room were focused on Thorin Oakenshield.

Thorin Oakenshield looked at the treasure in front of him, which symbolized the incomparable power of the dwarves, and said seriously, "Of course, this is the king's promise!"
