Train to Another World.

Chapter 101 It's Not Easy to Open Your Mouth
The people living in the valley on Lonely Mountain have been quite happy these days. Except for the fact that they are not allowed to go to the underground hall where their belongings are stored, Li Zhuoguang has not restricted their space for activities.

So they cleaned Lonely Mountain inside and out, and the corpses of the dwarves in the city were also carried out of the city and buried according to the dwarf customs.

Although the people of the valley live by the river and can go out fishing to be self-sufficient, they are no longer satisfied with just having enough food and clothing after being freed from the exaggerated taxes imposed by Changhu Town.

What was Dale City back then? Little Yiwu in Middle-earth! Although it was burned down by Smaug, some old people still survived.

So these old people, along with some women and children, started making small toys. They were very business-minded and knew how to use the current popularity to make the toys sell well.

What is the hottest topic nowadays? Of course, it is about stripping... the rare item that the Lord has offered as a reward.

The people of Hegu sent representatives to seek Li Zhuoguang's consent. Li Zhuoguang also believed that this small toy would help the outside world to have a clearer understanding of the shape of the carriage, so he agreed to the people of Hegu's request and explained many structural points to them in detail.

Seeing a rare glimpse of hope in life, the hardworking people in the valley worked day and night and soon produced a batch of finished products.

They also set up a simple stall outside Gushan City to sell carriage models.

Mercenaries and rangers passing by Lonely Mountain felt that this little gadget was indeed more realistic than the sketch replicas that came from the hands of bigger forces.

Therefore, the first batch of finished products was quickly sold out, and some people even bought more than a dozen at a time, keeping one for themselves and selling the rest at high prices elsewhere.

When Li Zhuoguang was bored, he went to see people in Hegu making toys. What he didn't expect was that the processing workshop, which looked like a small family workshop, actually used assembly line processing.

No wonder so many finished products could be produced in such a short time. It seems that although River Valley City was destroyed, some of its heritage was still preserved.

Li Zhuoguang suddenly got excited and briefly introduced to them the concept of collectible toys like Warhammer 40K and the basic rules of the DND board game.

Thus, a door to the blue ocean market opened in front of the people in the valley.

On the other side, an elven messenger found Li Zhuoguang again, but this time the one who came was a third-party elf he had never met before, a Noldor elf from Lórien.

Their leader was Galadriel, Elrond's mother-in-law and the Princess of the Noldor.

This Elf Queen is the most powerful among the three Elf Kings, but she also has the most dark side in her heart.

To Li Zhuoguang's surprise, the message brought by the elf was not from Galadriel, but from Saruman.

During the Third Age, Galadriel formed the "White Council" to fight against Sauron. She wanted to nominate Gandalf as the leader, but Gandalf declined.

So in the end the position of leader fell into the hands of Saruman, but Saruman didn't have many subordinates now, so it was normal for him to order the elves to deliver the letter.

The content of the letter was very simple: The Demon Lord's things are all dangerous. I'm afraid you can't control them, kid. There are many dangers here...

Li Zhuoguang calculated with his fingers and concluded that it was probably time.

Sauron had just revived and his strength was still relatively weak. Saruman thought he was ready, so he volunteered to chase Sauron alone, and then he turned into Sauron's shape.

His behavior was in stark contrast to Gandalf, who decided to leave without hesitation when facing the Balrog, so it was normal for Ilúvatar to look down on him.

Those who shrink back and hesitate when faced with great events cannot be the messengers of the God of Fire...nor can they shoulder the important mission of sealing...and perfecting the great music.

So even if Gandalf died at the hands of the Balrog, Ilúvatar would unlock more Maia power and send it back to Middle-earth.

And what about Saruman? He was stabbed in the back by a clown and then died. This shows Ilúvatar's attitude towards the two.

So Li Zhuoguang smiled disdainfully: "Go back and tell Tuan...bah, tell Shen...bah, tell Saruman that if you want the One Ring, come to me and get it yourself.

If you can't even do this, I still think it's safer to leave the One Ring in my hands. Also, the water here is really deep, please tell Sa Zi that he really can't control it. "

The elf scout was not angry, but just smiled apologetically and left. Whether it was fighting against Sauron or forming the White Council, it was obviously the Queen who took the lead. Gandalf and Saruman were not as good as the Queen.

"Wait!" Li Zhuoguang remembered something and called out to the elf scout.

Galadriel holds in her hand the Ring of Water, one of the Three Rings of the Elven. She also has a water mirror, the flowing water of which can be infused with the light of the Silmarils by Galadriel, which is an extremely powerful purifying force.

Li Zhuoguang wanted to try whether the "good medicine" of Middle-earth could cure the "chronic disease" of Ariana's hometown, so he asked Galadriel for this kind of treasure through the elven messenger of Lórien.

Galadriel had also heard about Li Zhuoguang's deeds, so she wrote him a letter. The beginning of the letter listed Li Zhuoguang's achievements along the way, especially the deeds of finding the One Ring in the Orc Kingdom in the Misty Mountains. At the end of the letter, she wrote:
Zhuo Guang, I have something to ask you, but it's a bit difficult for me to open my mouth given my situation.

Li Zhuoguang remembered something.

Many years ago, Celebrían, daughter of Galadriel and wife of Elrond, was captured by orcs at the Redhorn Peak while crossing the Misty Mountains to Lórien.

She was horribly tortured and injured before her sons Elladan and Elrohir rescued her.

Celebrían was so haunted by the horrific memories that she decided to leave Middle-earth and travel far beyond the sea a year later.

Li Zhuoguang understood.

A few days later, Li Zhuoguang and Ariana returned to the Misty Mountains.

Since the purpose was to solve the problem for Ariana's hometown, Li Zhuoguang took Ariana along.

He felt more at ease knowing that Xiong Fa Cai and Qin Daniu were in charge of Gushan.

Li Zhuoguang flipped through the map in his hand and said, "Yunding Peak, Hongjiao Peak, it looks like this is it. Huang Shiren, go and smell it."

Huang Shiren stood on Li Zhuoguang's shoulder, twitching his nose and stretching out his little paw, pointing in one direction.

Li Zhuoguang went in the direction indicated by Huang Shiren, and indeed found a relatively large orc tribe in a canyon.

Li Zhuoguang put on his iron armor and flew above the canyon, confirming that there were no traps or ambushes in the canyon.

Then he returned to Aliana and said to her, “This tribe is built in the canyon, in a long strip, with only two exits, one in front and one in the back.

You go through the front door, I'll go through the back door, and we'll go in together."

Ariana nodded, indicating that she understood.

When Li Zhuoguang was about to fly to the back door, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to her and said, "Just use a dagger, don't use a bow and arrow, I'm afraid you'll shoot me to death."
