People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 98 What Did I Do To Make You Disrespect Me So Much?
He is humiliating me!
Thorin looked at the face with a hateful smile in front of him, and couldn't help holding the weapon.

"The dignity of a dwarf will never tolerate being humiliated! It must be repaid with blood!"

Thorin was roaring in his heart, but his body didn't move.

The other party has saved his own life, saved the lives of his own people, and he has promised to respect the other party. Moreover, if even Gandalf said that, then the other party may really know how to deal with the dragon.

"For the Lonely Mountain! For the Durin Clan!"

Thorin comforted himself in this way, so he turned his head away from looking at the nasty traveler, pretending not to hear the other person's words.

"Oh, you look very angry." The nasty voice still came to my ears: "Why? Have I made any excessive demands?"

"Traveler—" put in Gandalf, "you needn't."

"Wizard, I don't understand."

"In my opinion, if you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help."

The traveler talked eloquently: "If you are condescending, it is not a request, it is an order."

"Thorin Oakenshield, what have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"

"I know that you are the future Lord of the Mountain, and you will become the king of all the Durin dwarves. You have always been respected and loved by the Durin dwarves, so you would rather take your clansmen to do something reckless and wrong. I would rather see the dwarves of Durin continue to be displaced, and I would rather let the dragon continue to occupy the wealth accumulated by the dwarves of Durin for thousands of years, than let go of your pathetic arrogance and stubbornness."

"I—" Thorin Oakenshield wanted to refute, but couldn't say anything.

"I'm just a traveler, it's not my responsibility to deal with the dragon, is it?" Tang Sen said.

Sorin's face turned pale and blue, and finally he closed his eyes, and almost squeezed out the words: "If I ask you, are you willing to help us?"

"I will consider it." Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction, and said, "But you need to be clear about one thing, Thorin Oakenshield."

"This is not cooperation. I don't get any benefits from the Lonely Mountain and the dwarves, so if I want to help you deal with the dragon, then in the process, I will decide how to do it."

"You want the dwarves to obey your orders?" Thorin opened his eyes suddenly.

"Order?" Tang Sen chuckled: "I prefer to call it a suggestion. I don't need the loyalty of the dwarves. You can refuse my help at any time, but before you decide to leave, I don't want any Reckless behavior spoils my plans against the dragon."

Thorin was silent for a long time, he really had no choice.

It wasn't until the team turned over another hill that Sorin finally said, "If your suggestion makes sense, at least you have to tell me what your plan is."

The corners of Tang Sen's mouth curled up involuntarily.

Please remember this day forever, Thorin Oakenshield, perhaps you do not realize now, there is only one bow and countless times.

There will always be only one voice in a team, the future dwarf king, you can no longer go back.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus. Since this is the case, there is no need to act separately."

"We have to find the Orc's lair in this section of the Misty Mountains first."

Tang Sen pinched the horse's stomach slightly and came to the front of the team.

"It's part of the plan."

"I remember you said this before." Gandalf followed up and whispered, "Are you going to find it? Is it in the Orc's lair?"

"This is impossible. If the Orcs discover it, then Sauron will definitely know that even though Sauron has disappeared for many years, all Orcs are still under Sauron's control."

"If you don't believe me, why are you following me?" Tang Sen asked back.

Gandalf's hand holding the staff tightened. He could empathize with Thorin very much at this moment. This mysterious traveler seemed to be helping everyone, but his behavior and tone were very annoying!
So he skipped the topic and said:

"The Misty Mountains are full of Orcs. No one knows how many Orc lairs are hidden in the mountains, and no one even knows how to enter those lairs. Most people who get lost in those lairs cannot get out. The Orcs inside are at least mature. Tens of thousands."

"As a wizard, don't you know?"

"What misunderstanding do you have about wizards?" Gandalf was dissatisfied. "Don't travelers always claim to know everything?"

Tang Sen smiled slightly and said, "It's a great honor to be praised so much by the wizard."

"I'm not complimenting you!"

"Anyway, we need to find the guide to the Orc's lair first," Tang Sen said.

"No guide would want to work in the Misty Mountains," said Gandalf angrily.

"I'm not talking about people."

The Misty Mountains are huge, and most of the peaks are even inserted into the clouds. Being in it, it is easy for people to lose their way, so that they are completely lost in the mountains and become the rations of Orcs or trolls.

Of course, there is no road in the mountains.

Since ancient times, there have been quite a few people who have ventured through the Misty Mountains, including desperate caravans, and those with a mission in mind. If more people travel, they will explore a dangerous path that can at least cross the mountains.

The team has been walking along the path for several days. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they have not encountered any danger along the way. If they go further, they will go deep into the mountains. Speaking of horses, even people can only pass sideways to avoid falling into the cliff.

Tang Sen wasn't sure if this was the precipitous path in the original book, where Sorin and his adventure team encountered stone men fighting and were almost wiped out.

Hmm. Stone giants as big as mountains, Tang Sen didn't want to meet them at all.

So, when passing a slightly flat foothill, Tang Sen said, "Let's camp here tonight."

Suo Lin said: "It's still a long time before the sun goes down. We can go forward at least ten miles. We don't have enough time."

"Of course you can move on." Tang Sen said, "But I will stay here."

"." Thorin gritted his teeth.

He could hardly remember how many times he had this kind of experience in the past few days. To be honest, he was even a little used to the damn traveler's way of doing things.

Although it's just some trivial matters, and the other party is indeed just making suggestions, but every time I have no other choice except to obey!

So much so that, when Thorin looked back, he saw that the dwarves were not interested in the conversation here, and had already begun to camp and light the fire expertly before he even questioned it.

Well, my own people are obviously more used to it than myself.
