Train to Another World.

Chapter 103: Dwarf Out of the Cage
What happened in the Misty Mountains could not be hidden from the elven scouts. Li Zhuoguang was even afraid that the elves didn't know what happened, so he set fire to the camp of the orc tribe. Thick smoke billowed in the Misty Mountains.

However, there were some unexpected events on the way back.

At the border of the Mirkwood near Lonely Mountain, Li Zhuoguang met Thorin and his group.

"It's you!" Thorin looked at Li Zhuoguang with gritted teeth.

"Who else could it be if not me? Why are you so angry? Let me think about it, it seems to be Du Linri a few days ago. So, you have been to the secret passage?"

"So the secret passage was destroyed by you! You knew about the secret passage?! Those damn elves are really untrustworthy!!!"

"Hey, don't wrongly accuse a good person. I knew from the beginning that there was a secret passage in the underground hall of Lonely Mountain, but I didn't know where the entrance outside was.

But now that I have obtained Lonely Mountain, it is quite easy to find the secret passage exit in the underground hall."

Thorin thought of himself and the dwarves of Durin, who had been working as blacksmiths and mercenaries in human society for more than a decade.

Just to save enough money and return to Gushan one day.

But now it's all over.

Thorin had thought about taking action to keep Li Zhuoguang here, but when he saw that the powerful female elf was also here, he was worried that if he took action, she would keep him here.

"Hmph! You killed the dragon, so it is only right that the Lonely Mountain belongs to you. But in the treasury of the Lonely Mountain, there is a treasure of the royal family of Durin the Dwarves. Please return it to me." Thorin seemed to be generous in giving up the Lonely Mountain, but Li Zhuoguang, who now occupied the Lonely Mountain, did not have to consider the opinion of this former victim at all.

Li Zhuoguang was even certain that if he really returned the Arkenstone to Thorin, he would definitely use it to command the dwarves and attack the Lonely Mountain.

So when Li Zhuoguang heard Thorin's request, he smiled meaningfully: "When Thranduil asked you to return the white gem necklace, did you return it?"

"you!"

"Don't be so rude. We are all adults now. We can understand many things without being told too clearly. The reason why Smaug was able to occupy the Lonely Mountain for so long and make the other dwarves unwilling to resist was simply because he was so powerful.

And I was able to kill the dragon and occupy the Lonely Mountain because I was stronger than him. If you are stronger than me, you are welcome to take back the Lonely Mountain from me. "

After saying that, Li Zhuoguang turned around and prepared to leave. But he suddenly remembered something and turned around again: "One of you is missing. Where is Bilbo Baggins?"

"Don't mention that traitor to me! He was taken away by another group of elves."

"Then how did you get out?"

"..."

Balin, the milder dwarf, said something fair: "Mr. Baggins asked King Elrond to plead with Thranduil."

Thorin immediately glared at Balin.

Li Zhuoguang thought about it and thought that this was something Bilbo would do. But what Li Zhuoguang didn't expect was that King Elrond himself came to take Bilbo away.

When Bilbo was in Rivendell, he got along well with King Elrond. After just a few days of knowing each other, King Elrond invited Bilbo to live in Rivendell.

Many years later, after Bilbo gave the One Ring to Gandalf, he left Hobbiton in the Shire and went to live in Rivendell.

"Tsk tsk tsk, people were kind enough to help you escape from the cage, but you actually spoke ill of them behind their backs. It's really you, Thorin, you don't even have this little bit of magnanimity, and you still want to be the Dwarf King. Even if I give you the Arkenstone, you will be useless." As he said that, Li Zhuoguang took out the Arkenstone from his storage bag and started playing with it.

"That is?"

"I saw it when I was a kid. It was the Arken Gem."

“It’s really on Lonely Mountain.”

The dwarves exclaimed at the dazzling light of the Arkenstone. "Give it back to me!!!" Seeing the Arkenstone so close, Thorin could not help but draw out his beast-biting sword and rushed towards Li Zhuoguang.

"No!" Balin wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Li Zhuoguang's hand reached out along the blade of Thorin's sword, clasped the blade with three fingers, and immediately swung it downward along the force of Thorin's chopping. Using his own strength, he shook the Beast Bite Sword out of his hand.

This is the "Snake and Earthworm Knot" technique in "Snake Shadow Fist" that allows one to fight with a knife barehanded.

Not only did Thorin lose the blade in his hand, he also lost his balance and stumbled forward, just in time to be kicked in the chest by Li Zhuoguang.

Bang!
He flew backwards faster than when he came, and his beast-bite sword was held in Li Zhuoguang's hand.

He swung the sword tentatively, making a whirring sound as it broke through the air. He slashed behind him, and a large tree fell down.

"When I passed by the Ogre Forest, I knew that there were three weapons forged by elves in the First Age stored in their lair, but I didn't take them because it was too much trouble.

I never thought that after all the twists and turns, it finally landed in my hands. Although the quality is average, it can sense orcs. I decided that from today on, this sword, no, this knife will be called "Orcs Must Die." "

"That's my sword!!!" Li Zhuoguang did not kill him. With the dwarf's strong physique, he took a few breaths and climbed up from the ground.

"Is that yours? It was forged by the elves. I should return it to its rightful owner, to Galadriel or Thranduil."

"I killed the ogre, and I found the sword, so it belongs to me."

Li Zhuoguang raised his eyebrows and threw the Beast Bite Sword back to Thorin: "You are right. I killed the dragon and I found the Arkenstone, so it should belong to me."

“…This is different.”

"How is it different? Isn't this your logic?"

Thorin gritted his teeth and blurted out, "The Arkenstone is not just a property, it is also a token of the Dwarf King. You can name a price, and I am willing to pay to redeem it."

Li Zhuoguang threw the Arken gem up and down, and said in surprise: "That's great, it seems that the dwarves will have a 1.8-meter-tall king.

You are also dwarves, right? Now that you are meeting the king, why don’t you bow?”

"I'm going to fight you!!!"

Bang!
Thorin was kicked out again.

Li Zhuoguang put the gem back into the storage bag and took out a few pieces of paper with sketches on them: "I won't tease you anymore. You may have just been out for a short time and don't know the reward I offered.

As long as you can find what I want, you can exchange it for the wealth of Lonely Mountain, including the Arken Gem.

Your relative Dain II has already set out to find him. If you are slow, he will become the King of the Dwarves."

Unexpectedly, Thorin suddenly laughed and said, "As long as the Arkenstone can be recovered, no matter which dwarf takes it back, I will be very pleased. If he becomes king, I am willing to be his subject."

"If I hadn't known that you had dragon disease, I would have believed it. You are so open-minded now, but you just haven't seen the golden sea in Gushan City. But this may not be a bad thing for you.

Go join Dain, you are quite capable, with your help, he may be able to find what I want faster."

Thorin sheathed his sword and said, "Humph! I don't mind other dwarves getting the Arkenstone, but I do mind you getting what you want."

"Do you believe that if the elves complete the commission first, I will give them the Arken Gem as a gift?"

"I'm going to fight you!!!"

Bang!
