The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 375 The Supreme Lord of the Rings
"Since you are really willing to keep your promise, then I don't need so much wealth." Ryan said as he looked at the dozen carts of gold, silver and jewelry. "The wealth on the carts can almost make up for what Smaug robbed from Riverdale. As long as you are willing to sign a long-term trade agreement with us, you only need to give me some more mithril as a reward. Oh, and there is also the gem necklace that Thranduil ordered from you. Since you are all my friends, I hope to resolve the conflict between you."

"You are very generous, Your Highness." Thorin bowed and said seriously. "But I will never forgive those elves for not saving my life."

"Thranduil did watch us die without helping, but he is the King of the Elves, not the king of you Dwarves. Too many elves died in the previous wars, and they can no longer afford the loss of lives. In addition, you withheld the gem first and destroyed the friendship between you, which is why they did not send troops." Ryan explained. He heard all this from Legolas when they were chatting earlier.

"If you put it that way, I think my ancestor might have been blinded by the gold and gemstones when he had the dragon disease. But I still can't forgive them when I think of my dead people." Thorin said, "But now I have figured it out. For the future development of Lonely Mountain, I can reconcile with them. But this definitely doesn't mean I forgive them."

"Well, as long as you don't treat each other like enemies, it'll be fine. After all, there are far more enemies around us who are eyeing us covetously. In this situation, internal discord is fatal." Ryan said helplessly. He also knew that after so many people died, it was impossible for them to meet and laugh off their grudges. As long as they were reconciled and didn't look at each other like enemies, it would be fine.

"Yes, reconciliation is good." Gandalf nodded in satisfaction. Soon, Thorin and his men took out 80 to kilograms of mithril ingots and handed them to Llane, which was equivalent to more than % of their inventory. At the same time, they also handed over the necklace that the elves had ordered that year in a box.

After handing over everything, Thorin returned to Lonely Mountain with his men. Now he is busy writing letters to recall his people who were previously exiled. And Llane and the cavalry returned to Riverdale with the treasures.

After returning to the palace, Llane called Legolas over. Legolas had been having a good time recently. He faced Smaug in the first battle after leaving Mirkwood. Afterwards, he found that one of the three shells that hit the dragon's heart was fired by him. According to local rules, he could add the title of Dragon Slayer in front of his title, which made him feel very honored.

Not to mention that he had facilitated a lot of trade with the elves in Riverdale during this period, which helped his compatriots a lot. At the same time, being away from his father's sight, his relationship with Tao Liel quickly warmed up. After all these circumstances were combined, he was in a very good mood. When he appeared in front of Ryan, he could see an excited expression on his face.

When he learned that Llane wanted him to go back to Mirkwood, his mood immediately dropped. I don't know what Thranduil would think after knowing this. Fortunately, he felt better after knowing that this was to return his mother's relics.

Legolas has very few memories of his mother, but this does not prevent him from missing his mother, especially when he has a bad relationship with his father. And Ryan also hopes that Legolas can improve the relationship between father and son a little when returning the relics.

After Legolas left, Ryan began to count the treasures he had just obtained today. After observing with his eagle eyes, he was surprised to find that there was something in the treasure that had extremely powerful magical radiation.

"This is it." Ryan pushed aside the gold coins covering the upper layer and took out a plain gold ring. Suddenly he had a bad feeling.

He placed the golden ring on the stone floor, pointed his wand at it and said, "Flame." As the flames burned, words like fire appeared inside and outside the ring. "The One Ring! How did this thing get here?" Ryan was confused. In the original text, Bilbo got it from Gollum when he passed through the Misty Mountains. Now the dwarves didn't ask Bilbo for help at all, so where did this ring come from?
The next morning, Ryan took Rose Crystal to the dwarves under the pretext of discussing trade terms. For safety reasons, Rose Crystal carried the ring with her. Because he found that the ring only had a fatal attraction to flesh and blood creatures in this world, Ryan was minimally affected after getting the ring, and Rose Crystal, as a puppet, was almost unaffected by the ring.

After signing the trade terms, Lion took out the ring and asked about it. Seeing the ring, Kili recognized that it was obtained in the Misty Mountains. At that time, he accidentally fell into a cave while being chased by goblins, and later killed a small monster and got the ring. He thought that the ring might have fallen off when he was loading treasures on the car.

Llane knew that the soul of Sauron in the ring was probably because he thought the dwarves were more difficult to corrupt, so he chose to leave the dwarves. However, the dwarves were not interested in this simple ring made of a little gold without knowing it. Kili said directly that this ring was a gift to Llane, and that he had a lot of treasures now and didn't care about that little gold.

After leaving the lonely mountain, Llane found Gandalf and told him that he had obtained the Supreme Ring. He wanted to give the ring to Gandalf, but Gandalf jumped up in fear and refused.

"Do not tempt me. I do not wish to be the Dark Lord in the world. The Ring penetrated my heart through compassion, compassion for the weak and the desire to gain the power to improve the world. Do not tempt me! I dare not accept it, even if I only keep it and do not use it. The temptation to hold it will disintegrate my power. I still need strength, and there are many difficulties and obstacles ahead of me."

"What should I do with this thing? Should I throw it away?" Ryan said with some distress, holding up the ring. The little puppet next to him also looked at the ring with disgust. Maybe because Ryan was a foreigner, the ring could not accurately understand Ryan's heart, so the temptation condition given was immortality for all humans. But this temptation was worthless to Ryan, who now had a solid grasp of the channel for immortality. If normal people could directly achieve immortality, who would be willing to serve as a dog to gain immortality?

"You can actually resist the corruption of the Ring?" Gandalf looked at Llane in astonishment. "Then can I ask you to go to Mount Doom to destroy the Ring? The darkness in Mordor and the Black Gate has not yet completely recovered. With your ability, it should be easy for you to sneak in."

"As far as I know, didn't the Valar claim that Sauron was a problem for humans to solve? Will it cause their dissatisfaction if I throw the ring into Mount Doom?" Ryan asked with a frown.

"You are now the king of the Valar, and you have come to this world with the permission of the Valar. So you will naturally be regarded as a human being in this world. The Valar made this request because during the First and Second Ages, the Valar interfered too much in the affairs of Middle-earth, but the results were counterproductive. What you did after coming here is in line with their hopes. They are also happy to see you destroy Sauron and fight the darkness of Middle-earth, because your victory over Sauron can also guide the residents of Middle-earth to fight against evil and move towards light." When saying these words, Gandalf's eyes flashed, as if illuminated by the fire from his body. This means that when he said this, he really represented the will of the Valar.

"And if you do this, the Valar will give you the corresponding gift." Gandalf's last words made Llane determined. He immediately stood up and declared that he would go to Mount Doom to completely destroy Sauron.

Anyway, if you feel this kind of thing is too dangerous, you can still come back. But if you succeed, you might get a gift of the level of the God of Creation. Ryan felt that how could he miss such a good opportunity?
