People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 97 You beg me
The dwarves did not say goodbye, and left the glen along the narrow path at dawn.

Well, that's normal for dwarves, the quality of politeness is too much for them.

Sharda straddled the pony and walked along the ridge. In front of him were layers of foothills, some of which were covered by green plants, and some directly exposed blue and black rocks.

"I'm not used to it," he said. "I can't touch my bones directly."

"It's okay, I can let you touch mine." He handed over a pale bone.

Sardar: "???"

He looked along the hand that was handed over, and saw Bombur, the fattest among the dwarves, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"When I woke up in the morning, I forgot to put my ribs back on."

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?" Sharda felt a little weird.

"I don't have any feeling that I might have lost a little weight?" Pangbur thought hard, "In short, it's not a big deal, at least not compared to Bahrain."

"What happened to Balin?"

"He put his head upside down."

Seeing Sharda looking back in the queue, Bomber hastily said, "You'd better not look at it."

"...it's scary."

"."

Thorin and Townsend were at the front of the line, followed by Sharin, Gandalf and Mr. Baggins.

Well, this wizard doesn't seem to spend as long with the white robe wizard as in the original book. Obviously, he is now more interested in the whereabouts of the Supreme Lord of the Rings that Townsend said.

"We must pass through the Misty Mountains as soon as possible and arrive at the Lonely Mountain before Durin's day, otherwise we will never have a chance to find the door to enter the Lonely Mountain."

Sorin said in a deep voice: "I have walked this road before. Many places are too steep for horses to pass. Maybe we have to release them somewhere ahead."

"No!" Sharin said anxiously, "They are very expensive! Why don't we go back and sell the pony to the elves?"

"We don't need to worry about money anymore, as long as we get to the Lonely Mountain, we will be the richest dwarves in the world."

After Sorin said so, he heard Tang Sen beside him chuckle.

He frowned: "Traveler, are you laughing at me?"

"Yes." Tang Sen nodded sincerely.

"To be honest, dwarves are not suitable for planning. Your plan will not achieve anything except angering a dragon and bringing disaster."

In the original book, if Mr. Baggins hadn’t obtained the Supreme Lord of the Rings by accident, the dwarves would not even be able to reach the Lonely Mountain. There will no longer be any life in the surrounding area.

Thorin Oakenshield had nothing but recklessness and greed besides luck.

"I didn't force you to go with me, traveler." After experiencing the previous incident, Thorin at least had some tolerance for Tang Sen's offense, and he said with a cold face: "You can just wait in the valley, and then You will hear the news of the recovery of the Lonely Mountain."

"At that time, you can go to Gushan to redeem the promise I gave you."

"I'm skeptical about this." Tang Sen said bluntly: "Of course, I don't intend to stop you. You misunderstood a little. We are not in the same group, but just happened to be on the way."

"When you reach the Misty Mountains, you can continue to the Lonely Mountain. But I, the dwarves I hired, and Mr. Baggins have other things to do."

"Me?" Mr. Baggins opened his mouth. "No one has ever told me about it."

"I'm talking to you." Tang Sen said with a smile: "Instead of facing a dragon, don't you think it's safer to stay with me? After all, you didn't choose to curse even if you have the curse of immortality, Nor do I think Thorin Oakenshield can handle that dragon."

"Mr. Baggins is our snitch, you can't take him away." Thorin interjected, "Also, you can't take my people away either."

"Until you pay the liquidated damages, I'm still their employer." Tang Sen said, "As for Mr. Baggins, give up the idea of ​​a snitch. As I said, even if a gold coin is lost, Smaug will find it. I am you, and I will be mentally prepared to face the dragon instead of taking chances."

Sorin snorted softly, and rarely refuted.

In fact, he was really confused. He was not stupid. He knew that if the dragon was still entrenched in the lonely mountain as the traveler said, there was nothing he could do.

Maybe he didn't even know it himself, deep in his heart he didn't know why he thought that the traveler would have a solution, maybe it was because of the confidence he showed when he talked about killing Smaug at the banquet, but he couldn't back down, and he couldn't lose face help.

Fortunately, Gandalf was unwilling to see the conversation deadlocked, and he said:

"Maybe, we can change our thinking."

"Thorin, why don't you cooperate with the Traveler? Maybe it really has a way against the dragon?"

"That's not what you said yesterday, wizard." Tang Sen sneered, imitating Gandalf's expression, and said, "You can't kill a dragon with your mouth!"

Gandalf smiled awkwardly. He really couldn't think of what Tang Sen would do. However, he had a conversation with Lady Galadriel last night and got some enlightenment about the future from her.

"Travelers always have a way, don't they?" He could only put this embarrassing topic away with this sentence.

Gandalf gave the steps, and Thorin naturally borrowed the slope to get down from the donkey, and said quickly:
"If you really have a way to deal with that dragon, then the dwarves are willing to cooperate with you."

"Tsk." Tang Sen admired Thorin Oakenshield's expression, until the other party was almost furious, and then said slowly: "The noble dwarf royal family, the future Lord of the Mountain, the essence of cooperation is mutual benefit, I am very curious, What's in it for me to work with you?"

"You can gain the gratitude and respect of the dwarves!"

"I've already got it. If I remember correctly, the dwarf still owes me a condition." Tang Sen chuckled lightly.

Sorin gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can deal with the evil dragon, I am willing to share the wealth of Lonely Mountain with you!"

"Wealth?" Tang Sen couldn't help laughing, "I recognize your sense of humor."

"The wealth of the Lonely Mountain may not impress the traveler." Gandalf said silently beside him: "In fact, any wealth in the world is meaningless to him. He is much richer than you can imagine."

"What on earth do you want!" Thorin yelled angrily.

"Interesting question."

Tang Sen stared at Sorin with evil taste:

"You beg me."
