Obviously, there are many hostile creatures that do not belong to Middle-earth. The Uruk-orcs are the product of Sauron's dark magic, and Saruman only learned it through the crystal of truth, which is not bad. The Balrog itself is the Maia who fell with Sauron, and now it is normal for him to return to Sauron under the temptation of summoning Morgoth back. As for the dragon army, this is Morgoth's creation, which is also not bad.

But the devils and demons are definitely not products of Middle-earth. Liu Yu had personally seen spirit-level devils and demons on the battlefield of the human city, and there were even more powerful Void Lords.

Chu Hao had never seen these things with her own eyes, but words began to appear in her mind again.

[Demons are native residents of the Abyss, while demons live in the Nine Hells. Demons and demons, who are often equated, are essentially mortal enemies.]

【The Abyss is filled with chaos and evil. It is the origin and habitat of demons. Demon lords, great princes, princes and other powerful beings fight each other here, and bloody battles occur every moment. Due to the harsh environment of the Abyss and the greed of demons, in addition to conquering each other, the most favorite thing among demons is to extend their tentacles from the lower planes to invade various main worlds. It was not until the rise of the human race and the rise of the Heavenly Court after the Xuanhuang Fleet plowed the Abyss that the demons restrained their arrogance.】

[Unlike the chaotic evil demons, most of the devils are the products of orderly evil, and there is an extremely strict hierarchy in the devil society. Compared with the demons who prefer to invade the main world by force, the devils prefer to use sweet words to deceive the lives of the main world and sign various contracts with them. Therefore, there are also cases where humans in the main world use contracts to deceive the devils in return, but of course, it is rare. ]

The Lord's translation could not be wrong, and the mysterious words that emerged in Chu Hao's mind also indirectly confirmed this. What Cypria was talking about was definitely the demons from the abyss and the devils from the nine hells, not some Middle-earth creatures with evil powers, and that shadow creature did not look like a Middle-earth style.

If it were just foreign forces, that would still be good.

Although Sauron opened it first, and found the demons and devils in the abyss, and possibly other forces of the myriad races as thugs, the Middle-earth camp can also open it. The Reincarnators and the Lord God Space are the eternal allies of the Middle-earth continent, or the Ilúvatar camp.

The number of active reincarnations from the Kunlun Army is in the hundreds of millions, and even if only one in ten thousand is selected, an elite force of tens of thousands of people can be formed. Moreover, there are also strong teams such as the Demon Team and the Atlantis Team, so they will not lose in terms of quantity or quality.

What gives Liu Yu and Chu Hao a headache is the current time. The current timeline is already after "The Hobbit"!

The Arkenstone they are looking for is the treasure in The Hobbit, the prequel to The Lord of the Rings. If the current timeline is The Hobbit, then they can naturally join the mission of helping the dwarves regain their homeland, and then get the Arkenstone. Both Liu Yu and Chu Hao have the confidence in this.

But according to the timeline, the Lonely Mountain has long been taken back by the dwarves, and the treasures in the Lonely Mountain have been distributed. Most importantly, the Arkenstone has been placed deep in the Lonely Mountain along with Thorin's body.

This is to rob a tomb!

Doing this will deduct your good karma and easily shorten your life!

In other words, they would need to resort to literary warfare at that time, and Liu Yu was unwilling to take such a troublesome approach from the bottom of his heart.

"It can be considered as recovered, right?" Cypria's beautiful and extraordinary face showed a trace of hesitation. After organizing her words, she said, "One hundred and thirty years ago, a battle for the Lonely Mountain broke out near it. That battle was fought by elves, dwarves, humans, and the orcs and wargs of Moria..."

"It was during that battle that the Arkenstone, which had been hidden in the Lonely Mountain and was known as the Heart of the Mountain, left the Lonely Mountain for the first time and was exposed to the eyes of all living beings. At that moment, everyone was shocked by the beauty of the Heart of the Mountain, even the orc leader Bolger was no exception."

Chu Hao frowned slightly. From here on, there were some problems with the timeline.

The story of the Lord of the Rings begins on the 111th birthday of Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of "The Hobbit", and the Battle of Five Armies takes place in the story of Bilbo Baskin and the dwarves retaking the Lonely Mountain. It is also during this process that Bilbo found the Lord of the Rings in an underground cave in the Misty Mountains.

If the Battle of the Five Armies took place 130 years ago, then the story of The Lord of the Rings would undoubtedly have moved on.

For the immortal species, there is no difference between fifty years, one hundred years, or one hundred and thirty years, but for the short-lived species the difference is huge.

You should know that in the original story, the Arkenstone never really left Lonely Mountain, but in the world of The Lord of the Rings, the story deviated greatly.

No one knows where the source of this deviation comes from, but what Chu Hao can be sure of is that with the butterfly effect, the situation they will face will only become more serious.

Just as Chu Hao had expected, the deviation of the story became even greater in Sipriya's subsequent narration.

The story at the beginning is just like that in The Hobbit. The dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield wants to take back the Lonely Mountain, so he teams up with Gandalf, and Gandalf finds the hobbit Bilbo as a thief to assist them in their mission. Archer Bard shoots down the dragon with a black arrow, but Thorin refuses to share the huge treasure in the Lonely Mountain, which leads to a military-level confrontation.

At this time, the orcs and wargs came and forced humans, elves, and dwarves to unite to fight against the orcs and wargs. However, when the story got to this point, there was a small deviation.

The pale orc Bolger, the half-orc leader who possesses the most ancient orc bloodline, is more powerful than expected. No one can stop the pale orc on the battlefield. Sipriya did not participate in that war personally, but she knows how terrible the pale orc is.

【The pale orcs are the reversion of the orcs of the later era. Their bloodline is from the Behemoth among the ancient orcs, a terrifying creature that can tear a dragon apart with its physical strength. The pale orcs cannot reproduce, and can only appear by reversion, because they are a kind of "semi-finished product". The pale orcs are born with an extremely strong physique and extraordinary power called fighting spirit. And it will improve with age, and runes like wrinkles will appear on the bodies of the pale orcs. These runes will increase the physical fitness of the pale orcs and even enhance the power of fighting spirit. 】

Bolger's strength did bring tremendous pressure to the coalition forces, but this could not completely change the direction of the story. What really changed the direction of the story was that the dragon that should have been shot and killed, occupied the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, and was called the "Tyrant of Fire", "Head of Fire Dragons", and "The Last Dragon" by the bards of Middle-earth did not die, it was still alive!

Although its body suffered a devastating blow, with the scales on its chest pierced by black arrows and its heart severely damaged, it did not die. Its dragon head could still spew out deadly dragon breath, and the scorching flames were comparable to the scorching sun in the sky.

Even under the extraordinary suppression set up by Ilúvatar, the dragon's dragon fire can melt everything in the world. If it leaves the suppression of Ilúvatar, the dragon with the title of "Tyrant of Fire" can even burn space with the fire it spews out!

Even with the power of Ilúvatar suppressing him, Smaug, driven mad by pain, still used raging flames to frantically destroy everything that appeared in his eyes.

The ending of the Battle of Five Armies can be said to be a bad ending. The five armies that were originally going to engage in an epic war could not even unite to resist the mad dragon. The single force seemed too small in front of the dragon. If the wizard Gandalf had not summoned the holy light of Ilúvatar to make the dragon afraid, all the lives present at that time would have escaped the fate of being turned into ashes.

Even so, the five armies were still defeated by the mad fire dragon, the orcs and wargs were burned to death by the dragon's flames, and the humans and elves no longer asked the dwarves for the treasure in the Lonely Mountain. The dwarves naturally recaptured the Lonely Mountain.

"As for the Heart of the Mountain, after the Fire Tyrant's mad outburst, it swept away the Heart of the Mountain and left the Lonely Mountain. No one has heard from it since then. Neither the Fire Tyrant who could stop children from crying at night in Middle-earth, nor the Heart of the Mountain which was said to be more perfect than the Silmaril, has heard from them for the past hundred years."

"So, the Lonely Mountain is still in the hands of the dwarves? But the Heart of the Mountain is gone?"

Good news and bad news came one after another, causing Chu Hao's mood to fluctuate.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Yes, but after that, the dwarves of Lonely Mountain also closed off contact with the outside world. Except for the grey-robed wizard Gandalf and a few hobbits, the dwarves of Lonely Mountain never saw outsiders again."

The two looked at each other and immediately discovered the biggest problem.

The biggest problem facing Chu Hao and his team is that they don’t know where the heart of the mountain is.

After saying this, Cypria added, "The elves who participated in the Battle of Five Armies were the Sindar elves, or the grey elves who lived in the Mirkwood. They were led by the Elf King Thranduil, but the Sindar elf warriors who participated in the Battle of Five Armies are reluctant to talk about that battle."

The implication of Cipriya's words was clear. Although the Battle of Five Armies more than a hundred years ago was not too far away considering her lifespan, she did not know the details.

"In other words, if we want to know the truth of what happened back then, the specific situation of Lonely Mountain, and most importantly, the whereabouts of the Arkenstone, we must find someone who has experienced it firsthand and is the most objective to serve as a guide?"

"Yes."

Liu Yu and Chu Hao looked at each other, and it was obvious that they were thinking the same thing.

The good news is that they don't have to become grave robbers now and dig up Thorin's grave, doing something that would put them on the blacklist permanently by the entire Lonely Mountain dwarf lineage.

The bad news is that they can't even dig the grave now! Smaug took the Heart of the Mountain away and took it to an unknown place! So they can only look for Gandalf the Grey, the only wizard who might know the whereabouts of the Arkenstone. Even if they find Gandalf, it doesn't mean they can get the Arkenstone.

If he was still in Middle-earth, that would be fine, but I'm afraid Smaug took the Heart of the Mountain to Sauron's territory.

Morgoth stole the three Silmarils and adorned his crown with them. Although Sauron did not show similar inclinations, if Smaug really took the Heart of the Mountain to Mount Doom, it would be unreasonable for Sauron not to be tempted by the Heart of the Mountain.

If this is the case, then Chu Hao and his team will have to gather helpers and go to the Doomsday Volcano first.

But whether or not to go to Mount Doom, the Dawn Team must first obtain accurate information about the Heart of the Mountain. In other words, they must find someone who can provide the coordinates of the Heart of the Mountain. There is only one person in Middle-earth who has this ability.

That is to avoid the annihilation of the three armies of elves, dwarves, and humans, and to fight against the legendary wizard Gandalf, the Fire Tyrant, single-handedly!
