Chapter 126 The Lonely Mountain Project
"Gandalff, have you really figured it out? It was a dragon that had lived for thousands of years. A hundred years ago, he did not really kill the dwarves, otherwise Thor and his descendants would never have escaped from the Lone Mountain."
Elon said seriously that he was obliged to remind Gandalf of these obvious risks.
"I understand, Lord Ayron. In fact, last year someone saw a giant dragon hovering over the Lone Mountain. Smaug never left there. However, this trip was my Lord's plan. He said that Smaug would not be a problem."
Gandalf said mysteriously.
Elon was stunned. Of course he knew who Gandalf's master was, and he was the Supreme God. But why was such a command? Many creatures from ancient times had disappeared, and even Smaug was the last dragon in the world. Who could defeat Smaug?
"Mr. Elon, I am as confused as you. But since there is an oracle, I will assume that Smaug has left the Lone Mountain or is sleeping. God will guide us."
Gandalf said this very much like a charlatan, completely deviating from his identity as a wizard.
"Gandalff, since that's the case, I won't say much. I hope you remember your mission, guide humanity and fight against the darkness. Never get involved in danger."
Ayron said seriously.
Gandalf knew that he had successfully convinced Elon. After all, who would be dissatisfied with the boss?
After leaving the conference hall, Gandalf met Motie at a small concert in front of the waterfall and shouted from afar: "Mr. Ian."
Mo Tie put down the flute in his hand, apologized to the female elf playing the harp around him, and walked off the big rock of the concert.
"Gandalff, have you finished the talk?"
"Yes, Iron. My plan is passed." Gandalf's old face was filled with a smile.
"Very good, tell me the details." Mo Tie stuffed the flute into his waist, found the open-air table and chairs, and sat down to say.
"Maybe you've heard of that place," Gandalf put his pipe with tobacco, waved his fingers, lit the tobacco, and took a beautiful mouthful, "Lushan."
Mo Tie nodded: "I know that the king's territory at the foot of the mountain is just a dragon entrenched there."
"Yes, our plan is to drive Smaug away and regain the Lone Mountain."
Gandalf said, observing Mo Tie's face. He was very relieved. Mo Tie's face was very calm and he was not afraid at all. It seemed that the strongest force in the plan could not escape.
Mo Tie had known all this for a long time, but he was curious whether the Hobbit would appear in the plan and asked, "Are you going to launch an army to attack Gushan?"
"Army? No, we only have a dozen dwarves, and we can't be considered an army at all." Gandalf smiled mysteriously, "The first step in the plan was to steal a stone from Smaug. Moreover, whether Smaug is still in Gushan is a question."
Mo Tie smiled and said, "When I came from Ered Mislin, I heard that Smaug had appeared above the Lone Mountain."
Iredemislin is the gray mountain range, like the lonely mountain, in the distant northeast direction.
Gandalf's face did not change his expression: "You can imagine in the good direction, but you must make the worst. Thank you for your news, Iron."
"No need to thank you. What is the stone you are talking about?"
"That stone." Gandalf recalled the heart of the mountain and said with some emotion, "It is a symbol of the king below the mountain. The dwarves of the Lone Mountain must have it to inherit the throne. Of course, it is also very beautiful. I think there are too few people in this world who can withstand its charm."
Mo Tie asked without comment: "What's the use of it? Can it make people live longer?"
Gandalf pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Dulin Yishi is already very long-lived, I think this has nothing to do with gems."
"Then why are there so many people snatching it? Isn't it just a useless stone?" Mo Tie said he didn't care.
Gandalf exhaled a smoke ring and said, "My friend, if you can maintain this mentality when you meet Akanbals, I will admire you even more."
"Haha, I'm a traveler and don't even have a backpack. Why should I bring a stone that I can't eat to increase the burden?"
Gandalf sighed: "If everyone could recognize the essence as you would, there wouldn't be so many disputes."
Mo Tie watched the Akanbao Diamond in the movie and knew how beautiful the stone was. However, he really had no idea about the thing and could not be sold for money. Only the dwarfs trapped in the stone mountain would use it as a treasure.
"Gandalff, where is the second part of the plan?" Mo Tie asked.
"That was a long-term plan. I needed someone to guard Gushan and manage that area properly so that darkness could be prevented from invasion for a long time," Gandalf said.
"Do you have the right candidate to manage Gushan? Is it a dwarf?" Mo Tie remembered the companion problem that Gandalf mentioned half a year ago, proving that he had planned to return Gushan to the orthodox descendants of the Dulin family from the beginning.
"There is one, not enough, I haven't told him these things. I hope you can be with me so that you can get to know each other in advance. After all, you will be the most powerful backing of the plan to regain the Lone Mountains." Gandalf explained.
"Solin, grandson of Thor, you may have heard of him. I want him to join this plan. If someone is more keen on Lone Mountain than me, it must be him. I have asked that he has put down the prince's arrogance and become a qualified dwarf blacksmith. I think that after such hardship, he has already possessed the qualities of becoming a king."
It turns out that Gandalf evaluated a king like this. Mo Tie could only sigh that the kings in the Western world are really worthless.
Yes, people in this world have never had the concept of great unity, and do not know what problems will be encountered in a larger and more complex country. It is enough to govern a small area and have some extraordinary qualities.
"Okay, Gandalf. So do we have any members?"
Gandalf took two more sips of cigarettes, pondered for a while before saying, "I think we need a thief who can steal gems from Smaug. I know that Mr. Ion, your stealth skills are very good, but I'm talking about a real thief."
Mo Tie smiled: "Oh, who are you talking about?"
Gandalf timidly and said, "Well, that's it. I don't know yet, but I will know after I visit. I have worked with his ancestors, and I think he should have that ability too."
