Chapter 216 Mithril and Balrog

"Good bow! Good arrow!"

Legolas couldn't help admiring, as if he couldn't put it down.

Lin Zhongtian reminded: "Let me tell you in advance that these two treasures are only lent to you. After completing the task, you have to - do it, if you don't return it, I won't return it. I gave it to you. Find a place to change the armor!"

Looking at Lin Zhongtian who suddenly changed his face midway through his speech, Legolas was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only obediently walked into the dark forest next to him with his armor, ready to change the prison uniform that he hadn't had time to take off in the future.

After Legolas' figure disappeared into the forest, Lin Zhongtian laid down a space barrier and looked at the blue butterflies flying around him.

"Now you are satisfied, your movement and my test can kill two birds with one stone."

The blue butterfly danced happily around the sky in the forest, and finally stopped at the tip of his raised finger.

Lin Zhongtian showed a smile on his face: "As long as you are satisfied, now hand over the Mithril you promised me just now!"

Mithril is a precious magical metal and a native product of Middle-earth. It has extremely strong hardness and light weight. It cannot be damaged by forging and polishing, nor will it fade. At the same time, it also has strong metal ductility and good magic power conductivity. Many famous weapons and magic props in Middle-earth are made of Mithril, such as Nengya, one of the three rings of the elves, etc...

When Lin Zhongtian came to this world, the metal he wanted most was Mithril.

Therefore, when he heard that Iluvita wanted to exchange his two treasures with Mithril, Lin Zhongtian immediately agreed.

Although I don't know why Iluvita proposed this meaningless deal for him, but I don't want to take advantage of the bastard. Anyway, Lin Zhongtian has his future self as a backer, and he also has the confidence to make a deal with him.

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, the blue butterfly flapped its wings and flew up, turning into a blue light and flying towards the Misty Mountains.

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, jumped up, turned into a silver light and followed behind Lan Guang.

Soon, Legolas changed his armor and walked out of the jungle.

Just as he was about to say hello to Lin Zhongtian, he suddenly found that the suspected traveler, or the Vila who had read his memory, had disappeared in the dark forest.

Legolas frowned, and cautiously explored in the dense forest while holding an alloy composite bow.

Three minutes later, Legolas returned to his spot, sighing softly while looking at the composite alloy bow in his hand.

"It seems that His Majesty has already left, and I will have to walk the rest of the way alone?"

Thinking of this, Legolas showed determination, and after identifying the direction, he stepped forward and walked towards the direction of the dense forest river.

On the way, Legolas began to recall the plot related to the mission goal.

In the third era of Middle-earth in 1980, the dwarf clan of Durin, who lived in Khasad-dum for a long time, disturbed the terrible threat hidden in the ground due to excessive mining, and awakened the Balrog sleeping in the misty mountains.

This powerful existence that had been sleeping for thousands of years killed the dwarf King Dulin VI of Kessad-dum as soon as he woke up, causing huge damage to Kessad-dum, and countless dwarves lost their lives as a result.

The remaining dwarves were forced to withdraw from Khasad-dum, and one of them went away to the lonely mountain, and with the help of the woodland elves, they rebuilt the kingdom on the lonely mountain.

So far, the Dulin dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and the woodland elves of the northern Mirkwood formed a deep friendship, and the two sides often exchanged trade, but the good times did not last long. With the mining of the Lonely Mountain, the name of Erebor's richness spread widely. At that time, the Dwarf King Thror I was engulfed by the increasingly prosperous money and treasures, and gradually became a slave to treasures and gold.

Until one day, the elf king Thranduil commissioned a dwarf craftsman to make a precious white diamond necklace for his dead wife, but when it was delivered, he left because of Thror's greedy asking price, and the white diamond necklace was also detained by the greedy Thror in the city of Erebor under the mountain. The woodland elves and the Durin dwarves broke completely.

After that, Erebor's richness attracted the evil dragon Smaug who coveted wealth. In 2770 of the third era, Smaug first destroyed the valley city located in the southern valley of the Lonely Mountain, and then captured the Lonely Mountain Erebor.

It was not until 2941 of the third era that Thorin Oakenshield, the son of Thrain II and the orthodox heir of the King of Durin and the King of the Mountain, led twelve dwarf companions, together with the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins and the gray robe wizard Gandalf, recovered the Lonely Mountain, and Erebor returned to the hands of the dwarves.

The series of stories that happened during this period is the entire plot of the "Hobbit" trilogy.

Legolas thought for a while and decided not to act with the protagonist group.

He planned to go to the Lonely Mountain alone, use the artifact gifted to him by Vera to slaughter the dragon, and get back his father's white diamond necklace, so that he might be able to obtain the understanding of his father Thranduil while completing the test.

Legolas thought well, but unfortunately, this is a world with destiny.

And fate obviously won't let him do what he wants...

……

On the other side, Lin Zhongtian hovered over the Misty Mountains following the blue butterfly, his eyes-like perspective spread rapidly, and soon he discovered a huge mithril vein in the mountain below.

Not bad, generous enough!

With a satisfied expression on Lin Zhongtian's face, he took out a crystal ball, intending to collect the ore veins into it.

Accompanied by bursts of roars, a huge gap was opened in the rolling misty mountains, countless smoke and dust filled the air, and the loose earth and rocks rolled down together with the trees rooted in the soil, making roaring roars like giant dragons.

Immediately afterwards, the bright silver mithril veins squeezed out from the huge cracks in the mountain, like a silver giant silkworm, it turned into a stream of light and sank into the crystal ball in the palm of the forest.

Done work!

Lin Zhongtian put away the crystal ball and was about to leave when he suddenly heard an angry roar from the mountain.

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look, and saw a huge sharp claw protruding from the crack, followed by raging flames.

Soon, a human-shaped flame like a wandering shadow climbed out of the crack in the mountain.

He has a pair of devil-like horns, burning flames all over his body, golden-red flames gushing out from a pair of yellow eyes, his arms are coiled with muscles, and his sharp claws are made of steel, which is daunting. On his back, there are also a pair of black bat wings. The flaming mane rises and billows on his back, burning and distorting the surrounding air.

As soon as this guy appeared, the moisture in the air was instantly evaporated, and the billowing heat wave spread from his body, instantly igniting all the surrounding forests and shrubs, and the fire spread rapidly along with the mudslides.

In an instant, the entire mountain was lit up with golden-red flames.

Obviously, this should be the evil creature Balrog sleeping underground!

I just don't know if the Balrog in front of me is the same Balrog that destroyed Kezadum.

It shouldn't be the same one, after all, the Balrog in the plot seems to be sleeping in the palace of Kazadum...

Lin Zhongtian thought about it while looking at it with interest.

Finally, the Balrog climbed out of the crack, stood in the sea of ​​flames and let out a roar towards Lin Zhongtian in the sky.

"..."

Lin Zhongtian's head was covered with black lines, and he looked at the blue butterfly beside him who hadn't left yet.

"Can I teach him a lesson?"

The blue butterfly was still flying around him, seemingly unresponsive.

Lin Zhongtian's eyes lit up, thinking that Iluvita had left, so he tentatively asked, "Then can I grab one and keep it as a collection?"

The dancing figure of the blue butterfly suddenly froze, hovering in front of Lin Zhongtian quickly, staring at him with staring eyes.

"Okay, you acquiesce!"

Lin Zhongtian quickly answered for him, then opened a crack in the space, took out an ice box exuding the air of ice, pointed the front of the ice box at the Balrog below, and gently pulled it away.

"call--"

Accompanied by the whistling of the air current, endless icy air gushes out from the ice box, like seawater pouring out of a different dimension, covering the entire mountain with enough energy to turn the world into an ice age.

In an instant, the wildly spreading mountain fire was extinguished in the cold air.

Feeling the ice energy pouring from the top of his head, the roaring Balrog couldn't help but widen his yellow eyes, and turned around quickly to go back to the ground again, but it was too late.

The turbulent icy air covered his body, freezing him into an ice sculpture from top to bottom.

Ten seconds later, the entire mountain, including the surging mudslide, turned into a light blue ice sculpture.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian put away the box of ice with satisfaction, and instantly appeared on the mountain, looking at the Balrog in the ice sculpture who still looked like he was digging into the ground, he smiled lightly and said, "Set fire to the mountain, and sit in prison!"

"If you dare to set fire in front of me, just obediently follow me back to jail!"

As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian took out the crystal ball, put the Balrog frozen into an ice sculpture into it, and then turned into a silver light and flew towards the direction it came from.
