The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 513 Split the spoils Gushan gift package

Without any suspense or reversal, Smaug, who had occupied the Lonely Mountain for sixty years, died under Rohan's golden spear.

Such a result is actually not unexpected. After all, this was a trap carefully designed for Smaug. His death was already established the moment the opponent broke out of the Lonely Mountain.

Rohan was also not surprised by this. After all, if he could let Smaug escape easily despite the dragnet of his men, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

With the death of the giant dragon, the sky of Gushan finally ushered in the long-lost light again, and a dazzling sun was shining on the earth with its warm sunshine.

As a dragon slayer, the dark elf naturally needs to start enjoying his trophies:

"Hmm... It's really disgusting. I thought that as a dragon's corpse, it would be somewhat useful, but I didn't expect that it doesn't even qualify as an alchemy material!"

Located on the plains of the Lonely Mountain, the main force of the dark elves is entering the Lonely Mountain together with the dwarves of the Angland clan, preparing to take over this strong fortress that has been abandoned for decades.

At this moment, Smaug's huge fallen body had been pulled by several giants to the other side of the Lonely Mountain Fortress with ropes, and the busy dissection work began.

Rohan looked at the corrosive Smaug dragon blood in the bottle with disgust. You must know that there are several tons of such dragon blood. As a result, there is no way for this dragon blood to be used in medicine and alchemy!

Good guy, with such a big body, you don’t even have any organs or alchemy materials that can be used to make potions. Living is a waste of air!

Although the powerful corrosiveness allows these dragon blood to be used to make rune weapons with terrible poison, but if he is pursuing poison, why doesn't he just use the saliva of the war hydra?

At the very least, the saliva of the war hydra can be mass-produced!

Facing Rohan's curse, the surrounding elven sages from Tilnaria did not dare to say anything. They could only be persuaded by the current dean of the Magic Academy, Caranthir:

"You can't say that, Your Highness, the scales of this evil dragon are enough for us to create thousands of rune shields that can withstand high temperatures. If the dragon's horn can be ground into powder, it can also be used as a tonic.

In fact, the dragon's wings and the organ responsible for producing magic breath should be used for alchemy, but these two organs were almost destroyed in the gunfire, so..."

Having said this, Caranhir couldn't help but look up at Rohan, who was looking increasingly embarrassed, and then decisively shut up and turned around to leave this place of right and wrong.

As the saying goes, 'the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.' Lohan originally expected to make a small profit from Smaug's body, but he did not expect that the most valuable organ had been destroyed in the battle.

Under the current situation, Luo Han could only sigh unwillingly, and then murmured in a tone of sour grapes:

"Hey, forget it, anyway, the ultimate goal of this Eastern Expedition is not Smaug. Instead of worrying about it here, it is better to take the time to see the Lonely Mountain."

Thinking of this, he flapped his wings and flew straight towards the interior of the Lonely Mountain, preparing to see with his own eyes the wealth that would allow Smaug to sleep for sixty years without feeling tired of it.

You must know that according to the contract, a quarter of the wealth in the Lonely Mountain will belong to the dark elves, and the remaining three-quarters will belong to the Angland clan.

Although it may not sound like much, but if combined with the description of the Gushan treasure in the original work, it is definitely an unimaginable huge amount of money!

As for the specific figure of this huge sum of money?

Just from a distance, it was enough to hear the screams and screams of the elves and dwarves coming from inside the fortress:

"Granny's beard! Even if I add up all the gold I've seen in my life, it's probably not as much as the fractions here!"

"Your Excellency, Lady Mist, and the blessings of Saint Rohan, the gold and silver treasures here are at least hundreds of millions!"

"Even the underground treasury of Bafeng Mountain in the past has never had such a large amount of gold. With this money, our Angland clan can mobilize enough warriors to take back Bafeng Mountain!"

"How about we just stay here?"

……

Various exclamations were heard continuously, and as soon as Luo Han entered the palace of Gushan, he saw that the ceiling seemed to be dyed with a flickering brilliance by the light reflected by gold.

Since Smaug was only interested in the gold and silver jewelry in the Lonely Mountain after he occupied it, most of the facilities in the fortress have fallen into a layer of dust, but they can still be used normally!

Rohan didn't care about this at first, but when he flew into the mid-air of Gushan Hall and witnessed the wealth contained there, his eyes widened in shock:

gold!

Countless gold!

Regardless of sorrow and pain...

Unknowingly, Rohan's eyes gradually began to reflect the appearance of these golds, and even the wings that were originally waving could not help but gradually stopped.

It is no exaggeration to say that the gold coins here can even fill the entire Nagarond treasury!

If he could really occupy this gold, then he would have to eat one meal at a time and hire thousands of chefs from the Cathay Empire to cook for him. Wouldn't this be so beautiful?

In a daze, Rohan couldn't help but focus on the dwarves of the Angland clan who were counting the gold, and the idea of ​​breaking the contract gradually emerged in his heart!

The dwarf is so weak, and there is so much gold here, why should he share the wealth with the weak...

"Rohan!"

Just when Rohan's palm was unknowingly preparing to raise his golden spear, Flare's tender but stern scolding suddenly came from his heart, which directly made the haze in Rohan's eyes dissipate.

Looking at the spear that he had clenched in his right hand, Rohan suddenly felt a little uneasy and thrust it into the ground with force, then turned his head and asked in his heart:

"I seemed to have lost control just now, and even thought of violating the contract. Is it the so-called dragon disease that is affecting me?"

You must know that Thorin Oakenshield in the original book was also bewitched by dragon disease after retaking the Lonely Mountain and became obsessed with gold. In the end, he even prepared to throw Bilbo, who had helped him several times, off the city wall to his death.

Luo Han originally thought that his will was relatively strong and that he would not be affected by the dragon disease, but he did not expect that he would behave so badly when faced with these golds just now!

If it hadn't been for the reminder from the flare, I'm afraid he would have killed those dwarves long ago, right? !

"Dragon disease? Please, you can be considered a demigod now. Even if this gold has been occupied by Smaug for decades, how could it affect your mind so easily?"

Hearing Rohan's inquiry, Flare mocked Smaug's weakness with some disdain, and then said in a slightly serious tone: "These golds contain power that far exceeds Smaug's. This evil is blended with dragon disease." As one body, even powerful Maia and elves like Gandalf or Galadriel cannot resist!"

Having said this, Flare turned himself into a ball of light in front of Luo Han with some worry, and then after checking Luo Han's condition, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"I don't know why this gold suddenly has such a big effect on you, but I think it may be related to the greed in your heart just now. It's best for you to stay away from here."

"Hmm... I think I probably know why the gold is the way it is now."

After listening to Flare's explanation, Luo Han couldn't help but recall the information he had learned about Lonely Mountain and Gold, and finally gradually realized why he was like this.

The reason for all this is because of Melkor!

Melkor, hailed as the enemy from the dark world by the Noldor elves, was also the first generation of the dark lord Sauron had served in the past.

As a Valar full of greed, Melkor's strength is even far greater than the other Valar and Vali combined. His strength can be said to be the best in the entire world of Arda!

However, out of greed for Arda, Melkor finally chose to merge most of his power with Alpha, just like Sauron poured most of his power into the One Ring.

Melkor succeeded!

His strength is even so weak that it is difficult to compare with the powerful Vera, but he has also successfully bound himself to Alda, so that they can live and die together!

In other words, Melkor will only be truly killed when the entire continent of Arda is completely destroyed.

This is the Ring of Morgoth!

Among all things in Arda, gold, which symbolizes wealth and desire, naturally gathers part of Melkor's power, and this is especially true for gold contaminated by dragon disease.

Why did Sauron choose gold as the raw material for making the Lord of the Rings?

It is precisely because gold can not only show his nobility as the Dark Lord, but also contain the power of his master, which can be highly integrated with Sauron's own power.

Ordinary elves or dwarves may not be affected by the power of Melkor contained in gold, because their strength and souls are relatively weak.

But Rohan is completely different. His soul has been strengthened by the creator Ilúvatar and bound by the flare. His strength has surpassed ordinary Maia, and he has begun to slowly move towards the power of Vera!

In this case, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Melkor's power will subtly begin to affect Rohan's mind, trying to pull him into the abyss of corruption!

The flare that shared Rohan's consciousness also understood the other person's thoughts, so he looked at the piles of gold with some worry and persuaded:

"I see, then we'd better not touch these treasures. Why don't we give them all to the dwarves of the Angland clan?"

"...No, it would be a fool not to take advantage of it. The treasures in Gushan are not only gold. I can also choose to replace my quarter with gems or other valuable items."

However, as the fear lord, Rohan was not going to give up his share of interests so easily, so he jumped off the high platform and walked towards Belega below.

Now that you are ready not to charge gold as your share of the reward, you might as well choose to exchange it with gems and other precious things.

At this moment, Belega was still immersed in the countless treasures of Lonely Mountain. It was not until Rohan's voice came from behind that he turned around and said in surprise:

"Rohan, my friend, do you really plan to hand over three-quarters of these treasures to the Angland clan? This is a lot of money?"

"Don't worry, my friend, I will honor our promise according to our contract, so you don't need to worry about the ownership of these treasures, but there is one thing I need to discuss with you in advance.

Since I made a deal with the Elf King of the Woodland Kingdom before, my share of the treasure may need to be replaced with gems or other things, including the white gem necklace that originally belonged to his deceased wife. "

Rohan did not directly say that the gold here was influenced by Melkor, but cleverly pinned his hat on Thranduil of the Woodland Kingdom.

After all, he did promise Thranduil to return the white gem necklace to him, so this reason is indeed considered sufficient.

Belega had no doubts about this. He just nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment:

"No problem, but you also said before that the army of Chaos is approaching Gushan, and there is so much wealth here that we expect it will take a long time to sort it out."

"No problem, then you dwarves will be responsible for counting the treasures here later. I believe that with your character, you will not do anything like coveting treasures."

"Please rest assured, my friend, I am willing to swear to you on the honor of the Angland clan that I will definitely abide by the contract between us!"

In the face of Rohan's teasing, Belegar made a rather solemn oath. Obviously, the dwarf's calculating character is always so trustworthy when it comes to dividing the spoils.

Perhaps because the dragon's disease and the magic of Melkor were all used to entangle Rohan's mind, the elves and dwarves present did not seem to be greatly affected by the dragon's disease.

Of course, the premise is that Lohan is here to attract firepower for them!

Just when Rohan was still preparing to continue discussing with Belega about garrisoning the Lonely Mountain, an alarm suddenly came to him in his subconscious, causing him to subconsciously turn his gaze to the open space next to him.

There seems to be something there?

"Unfamiliar visitor, if I remember correctly, the Anglande clan should not have put up a sign in front of Lonely Mountain to receive visitors, so please reveal your true identity and let me see who it is."

As he spoke, Rohan suddenly raised his spear and pointed it at the empty space, frightening the surrounding black guards to also hurriedly lift their spears and point them there.

They didn't know what exactly happened, but since His Highness Rohan would never deal with his people, there must be something over there!

"Wait a minute, Rohan, don't hurt me, it's me, it's me!"

Sure enough, a familiar sound of panic came from the clearing, and a short figure suddenly appeared in the clearing, with his hands in his pockets helplessly.

It's Bilbo who sneaked into the Lonely Mountain!
