Chapter 63 Omen (seeking first order)

Although the story of the wise Cirdan is rarely seen in the legends and poems of various tribes, the master of Gray Harbor has actually influenced the historical process of the Central Continent both openly and covertly.

The most famous of these was the Dragonborn known as Dragon Bourne when it was brought back from the seas off the Gulf of Shun in the midsummer of 2931 of the Third Age.

At the same time, many of his forward-looking remarks have remained in the ears of all wise men.

For example: "The world is always changing, who can say that he must have mastered his destiny?"

"Rumours are like fine wine, the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it becomes."

and many more.

The day of Celebes in March 2933 of the Third Age was destined to be remembered, for that day many travelers and merchants from the northern tribes and Rohan to the south saw the presence of the Silver King.

He attended the festivities that night with the master of the Gray Harbor.

As a result, Turka Arakano, wearing a diamond forehead crown, a robe woven with light blue silk and mithril, and an emerald green gem pinned to his neckline, appeared in the festival square.

The entire Gray Harbor was silent at first, and then thunderous cheers resounded through the night sky.

That picture has almost become a constant topic of conversation among the northern tribes in the next few years.

In particular, since he showed up at the Elf Port that day, the Silver King seemed to have disappeared from the world.It is said that he traveled the continent with a female elf.

It is also said that they dwelt deep in the towers of Annuminas, and were no longer easily present.

There are even rumors that someone saw a majestic and majestic king riding a white horse like the Holy Spirit, carrying a beautiful and unparalleled elf, through the field of Celebrant, and entered the so-called Golden Valley. Lothlórien of the Forest.

As a result, this has attracted a lot of people's discussion and attention.

Some people think this is nonsense.

Because that forest has always been in and out in human legends.According to rumors, there is a beautiful witch living in it, she will confuse all travelers and adventurers who dare to break into this forest, so that they will never get out of the forest.

But at the same time, some people think that the Silver King is going to meet the Galadriel couple in the Golden Forest.

Anyway, the longer the silver-white king disappeared from people's vision, the more mysterious the rumors about the dragon descendant on the mainland became, and many of them even almost became myths.

This is also in line with the words of the master of Gray Harbor - rumors are like fine wine, the longer the time, the better the fragrance.

This situation lasted for several years, until a certain omen happened.

what.

Yes, things always start with omens.Both good and bad.

On this day, we are far away, far away from Central Continent, and we need to cross forests and rivers, through wilderness and mountains to reach the hometown of dwarves, Lonely Mountain, or also known as "Erebor". or "Erebor," ushered in the first weary birds after more than two centuries.

We all know what's in the Lonely Mountain.

In the days when Smaug the Dragon ravaged Middle-earth, not a single creature or bird dared approach the Lone Mountain.

But today, someone saw a group of ravens flying from the north, and they landed on the steep rock wall chirping, resting there and singing there.

As a result, all the caring people on the entire Central Continent stirred up their hearts.Because, they all know what it means.

"When the ravens fly back to the Lonely Mountain, the reign of the beast will end." - This famous prophecy is not only known to the dwarves, most careerists, thieves, and villains have heard of this ancient prophecy.

So, be Thorin II, our Thorin Oakenshield.He heard that a raven flew back to the Lonely Mountain, and it was rumored that many people in Middle-earth began to look to the hometown of the dwarves, so he couldn't sit still.

"No, that's mine! It belongs to the Turin family! I will never allow anyone to touch the treasures of the dwarves! Let them all die! All of you will be my enemies! I swear!"

Almost every day the dwarf king's roar echoed in the Blue Mountains.

It is said that during that time, Thorin lost his temper every day.Because, although he has the map and key of the Lonely Mountain, the dwarf cannot read the runes on it.

This is a very ancient and profound language. It was sorted out and invented by Fëanor who created the Silmarillion. It was improved by Dairon, the chief scholar and bard of Doriath in the first era, and gradually spread to Central Continent.

Later, it was further used by the dwarves of Kazadum in the second era and became one of the languages ​​of the ancient dwarves.

It’s just that during the time when Sauron caused disasters in Central Continent, the elves, dwarves, and humans all suffered huge, unimaginable heavy losses, and many skills and civilizations were cut off, including ancient runes.

Today, there are very few people on the Central Continent who can understand this ancient script.

Thorin had the map and the key, and saw the omen, but he was not quite mad, and dared not bet all the fate of the Dwarves on whether old Smaug was really dead or gone.

His only choice is to follow the secret path on the map and go in first to have a look.

Or sneak out the all-important Arkon Gem.

When Thror ruled the Lonely Mountain, this gem almost became the treasure of commanding the seven dwarf kingdoms. It can be said that it is more precious than the gold of a river.

As for dragon slaying, well.

Just think.

So, the current situation is that Sorin Kong has a map, but he can't read it.

The wizard has nothing in his hands, but he has the world in his heart.

Yes, there are still traces of wizards in this matter.They are like hardworking bees, always buzzing and flying around, stinging here and there.Maintaining the delicate balance of Central Continent.

On this day, our long-lost wizard Gandalf finds the increasingly manic dwarf king Thorin II.

"My lord!"

In the former dwarf hall, the former people are still the wizard with white beard and white hair saluting the king sitting on the throne.

"Gandalf."

Compared with ten years ago, Sorin, who was more majestic and vicissitudes, looked at the wizard with a gloomy expression.On his head was a crown set with precious stones, and his clothes were mostly gold and silver.A huge ruby ​​ring glowed faintly on the stubby finger. "I haven't seen you for many years, what's the matter with you?"

Gandalf straightened up, but his eyes quickly swept across the more luxurious hall of the dwarves, the more gray-haired and tired Balin and the still brave but sad-eyed Duvalin.

It finally fell on the familiar figure on the throne.

He said: "I have come to resolve your worries, Your Majesty Sorin II."

"Oh?"

A contemptuous sneer appeared on Sorin's gloomy face, and he said impatiently and vigilantly, "You know what I'm bothering about?"

"of course."

The sorcerer's cane was lightly pestled, and a crisp sound came out: "Don't take me for those charlatans, Thorin, you have seen my power, listened to my warnings, and know that what I say is true!"

The wizard's voice became louder, his body size skyrocketed, and his power was astonishing. "I am the wizard Gandalf! The king's advisor, the guardian of order! Every step I take, every choice has a deep meaning, don't use your short-sighted eyes to measure my thinking!"

The wizard's voice became gentle, and his eyes were no longer sharp: "Now, sit down and listen to me quietly."

Sorin's expression was very ugly, he groaned for a long time, and finally chose to shut up.

Balin and Du Valin were a little dazed.

There are always loyal dwarves around a dwarf king, but this scene is surprisingly familiar.

"I know you've all heard about it." The wizard began to speak at length, but everyone couldn't help but turned sideways and listened closely: "The raven flew back to the Lonely Mountain, yes, we all know that means What. I also know what you are angry about, Sorin. Few people understand the runes, including me. Now you have a treasure mountain with no way to enter, and you still have to worry about villains breaking into the dwarven palace first and robbing the treasures inside. Treasure."

"But I want to say, maybe this is not a bad thing, let those villains go to explore the way first, maybe they can use their lives to bet that the dragon Smaug is still there."

"Ah, don't be angry, I know you won't listen to my advice. So why not get an expert who understands runes to help you translate the text on the map, and you will be able to understand it better than anyone else. Enter Erebor early."

It should be said that wizards are really cunning guys. They are good at using true and false information and language to guide and persuade the objects he wants to persuade.

People who are not wise enough or strong-willed often fall into his trap easily.

Thorin wavered.

In other words, the yearning for his homeland and the fiery desire for the dwarven treasure had made Thorin not want to hesitate any longer.

"You mean?" Thorin looked at him.

"I happen to know someone who might be able to understand the runes on the map." The wizard had a straight face, but his eyes were smiling: "Maybe we can have a little adventure, what do you think, my lord."

At that time, all the Turin dwarves, including Thorin, were all taken aback.

It seems that the wizard's idea is really too bad.

But in the end, the dwarf agreed.

Because as the wizard said, almost everyone on the Middle Continent had seen that omen. If the dwarves didn't act, someone else might take the opportunity first.

So, after a long discussion - or quarrel.

Sorin II overwhelmed all the Turin dwarves in the Blue Mountains and agreed to the wizard's proposal.

And our story begins here.
