People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country

"The light is gone!"

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 light."

"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 for a while, and then looked at the rock wall for a while: "I will never fail like this, I can never fail like this."

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

Thorin still ignored it. He took off his visor and slapped the rock wall frantically, trying to find the hidden 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 us? 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, I 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 been able to find it, but you only thought about travelers and Sarin——"

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

"Thorin, we didn'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 force."

"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 sword blade.

"Unfaithful!"

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 with each 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 was a curse that caused the 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.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

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

"Salin. It's sandalin!" The dwarves hurriedly separated from each other as if they were waking up from a dream.

The ferocious beast fell heavily onto the platform, accompanied by roars and screams, as well as Shalin'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 could you do that?"

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

"Ha! That's a good story!"

Shalin 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 involved.

Well, in fact, more than a little bit, the beast wouldn't listen to her control at all, it just flew around and then crashed 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'm not afraid of heights."

"Hahahaha! As long as you're fine." Shalin laughed and said, "I said before I fall, nothing will 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.

War is indeed not that easy to play 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 this happened was because of his own strength.

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 it.

Not this time, but next time.

Tang Sen deeply realized this. Although he relied on wealth and often did not need to do it himself, not doing it was different from being unable to do it.

"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 consciousness and reason.

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 seemed that Thorin had 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.

Perhaps 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 can 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 out: "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 spurned 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 his anger: "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..."

"Ha, hahaha!" Thorin's crazy laughter interrupted Shalin's words. He pointed at Shalin and laughed forward and backward.

"Shalin, the great Sarin Mithril Hammer, led the dwarves to break through the wave of darkness and single-handedly subdued the evil beast in the sky. Your name and deeds are enough to be engraved on the throne of Erebor. "

He taunted loudly and slammed the key to the secret door on Sarin's blood-stained armor: "I give you this right, if you can do it."

"It's a pity that no one can enter Erebor now. It's just useless scrap metal."

Shalin looked at Thorin at a loss. Even as slow as she was, she could tell that the other person's words were not compliments.

"Pick up the key, Sarin."

Tang Sen said silently: "Since it is a right given by the future dwarf king, you should not waste it."

"I-" Shalin opened her mouth, not knowing how to deal with this scene. In the end, she chose to follow Tang Sen's instructions and picked up the key.

"Before you reach the rock wall, Shalin, the moonlight will guide you."

Townsend continued to coach.

Sha Lin followed the instructions in confusion, almost instinctively. Under the moonlight, she was attracted by a thrush. Then, she saw a keyhole magically appeared next to the plum bird under the bright moonlight. And out.

"The Days of Durin are not over yet." Tang Sen did not look at Thorin, but just chanted: "The last ray of light is not the sunset, but the moonlight."

Thorin stood aside blankly, his skeletal face filled with extremely complex expressions for an instant.

"Open the secret door, Sarin."

Tang Sen said: "You are about to see the Erebor Palace you have dreamed of."

"And it's time for me to face that giant dragon."

There will be an extra chapter tonight.
