Train to Another World.

Chapter 104 Doll
After Li Zhuoguang occupied Gushan, he did not intend to open the gate of Gushan. Instead, he reinforced it again because Li Zhuoguang and his men did not need to go through the gate to enter and exit Gushan.

Even the people of the valley who moved into Lonely Mountain later were directly pulled in by Li Zhuoguang using the Crimson Touch. After entering Lonely Mountain, the people of the valley made a simple winch elevator to enter and exit.

As for the power source, it was the horses and mules brought by the valley people. They did not complain about the trouble of going in and out, because the experience of destroying cities and countries made them willing to invest everything for the safety of their homes.

Li Zhuoguang took Aliana onto the terrace and greeted the old man guarding the elevator.

It seems that this old man used to be the person on duty at the clock tower in Changhu Town. He was used to guarding one place all day, so after the elevator was built, he spontaneously became the keeper of the elevator.

After entering the Lonely Mountain, Li Zhuoguang saw the elves waiting there. Because he had no idea how to contact Galadriel, he asked the elves who had delivered the message for Saruman to go back and reply, and then he immediately started his return journey.

Anyway, it wouldn't take long for him and Ariana to go back and forth.

Li Zhuoguang informed the Elf Scout of what happened at Redhorn Peak in the Misty Mountains. The Elf Scout expressed his heartfelt gratitude and immediately took out the raven he carried with him.

Li Zhuoguang dictated and the scout wrote down the whole story in detail.

After releasing the raven on the terrace, the elf scout did not take the elevator directly to leave. Instead, he returned to the meeting hall to meet Li Zhuoguang.

Seeing Li Zhuoguang's puzzled look, the elf said, "In addition to reporting to the Holy White Council, I also went back to Lórien."

"What advice does the Lady of Lothlórien have?"

When Galadriel was mentioned, the elf's expression became reverent: "Knowing that you were looking for something, the lady used a water mirror to perform a divination."

Li Zhuoguang asked excitedly, "What's the result?"

The elf looked a little unhappy: "The result is not good. The area around the strange object is full of flames and magma. It looks like..."

If the result is not good and it is full of flames, then there is only one result left: "What I want is in Mount Doom?"

"Yes."

Li Zhuoguang let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but wonder, if he had joined the black side at the beginning, would he be lying on the sofa at home now, drinking an iced Coke and guessing what the next mission would be.

Then he shook his head again. Although he had a relatively flexible moral bottom line, Qin Daniu and Xiong Facai were probably not willing to cooperate with a notorious demon king.

"Oh, by the way." The elven scout suddenly remembered something and said, "Saruman the White Wizard will arrive at Lonely Mountain soon. I wish you good luck."

Watching the elven scout leave, Li Zhuoguang stroked his chin, wondering maliciously, there has never been a precedent of Maia running naked in Middle-earth, right?

Because of Li Zhuoguang's reputation, even if the orcs and other dark forces rushed to Lonely Mountain, they still did not dare to get too close to the Lonely Mountain before receiving Sauron's order.

Therefore, the Lonely Mountain Plain is now the most peaceful place besides the Shire. The people of the valley took full advantage of this and started a street stall economy on the Lonely Mountain Plain.

The entire Gushan Plain became a large open-air commercial plaza, with simple tents set up, bars, toy stores, and open-air snacks.

Humans, elves, and dwarves passing by Lonely Mountain are willing to stop and visit this special market.

Li Zhuoguang was too lazy to collect any taxes. He just set rules prohibiting littering and urinating and defecating in public and then left it alone.

Because of zero tax, the prices in Gushan Market are more competitive. And in this market, the most popular area is the board game area.

Recently, Hegu Ren launched a new product called Hegu Blind Box. People who buy the blind box can open a carefully crafted doll.

Those who hold the puppets can play the game in the sandbox in the tabletop game area. Of course, it is not free, but you only need to pay a reasonable amount of money to use the sandbox and be assigned a host to play the game. It is said that the scripts of the game were written by the Lord of Lonely Mountain himself. There are only three scripts at present, namely "Civil War in the Rich Family", "Severe Test" and "Phantom of the Ruins".

Of course, although the script is the same, the game experience is definitely different. If you can get a more powerful character, such as Thranduil or Galadriel, the game experience should be better.

If you get a character like Thorin Oakenshield, you can still have fun, but if you get a blank doll like the Dwarves of the Iron Hills or the Elves of Rivendell, you will need to rack your brains and calculate carefully.

Of course, the most powerful group of all the puppets is the five-man team headed by the Lord of Lonely Mountain.

In order to boost sales, even dolls of the same character are not all the same. All dolls have different versions, and different versions have different appearances, as well as different attributes and skills.

For example, the vain King Se liked to use trees in the mountains and forests as his crown. There were four versions of King Se in spring, summer, autumn and winter alone.

For example, Galadriel has both light and dark versions. Because the dark version is more powerful, only one dark version enters the market for every nine light versions.

In addition to the regular versions, all the dolls also have special rare hidden versions. Unlike those dolls made on assembly lines, they are carefully crafted by the most experienced craftsmen in the valley.

Let’s take Galadriel as an example. Her hidden version is Galadriel, the Princess of the Noldor.

That was Galadriel who arrived in Middle-earth from Aman several epochs ago. Different from the intellectual big sister in other versions, this version of Galadriel was a wild elf girl with a sword.

Although the hidden version is not necessarily better than the regular version, it is more popular because of its rarity and exquisite workmanship. Even players who have the hidden version are reluctant to take it out to play board games and will keep it properly.

“It’s out! It’s out!”

"What happened?"

"The goods have been shipped over there?!"

"Let's go and take a look."

Because of one person's excited shouting, people around gathered around, wanting to see what this person had revealed.

"This... this style, I seem to have heard of it."

"It's a dwarf puppet. I've seen people get a hidden version of Pombo - Pombo the Barrel God of War, but I've never seen this puppet before."

"I know Pombo. I've even seen the Durin dwarf, but when did he get the title of the Barrel God of War?"

"To be honest, I don't know either. I heard that he is in Iron Hills recently. I wonder when we meet him."

"By Ilúvatar! I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to actually exist! This is a hidden version of Ironfoot Dain, the Dwarf Dain!"

The people around burst into exclamations and looked at this lucky guy with envy and jealousy.

As a former card player, Li Zhuoguang knows very well that even if a common card is issued in large numbers, people's impression of it will be just that.

However, a rare card that is rarely seen in the world, even if it has been retired for many years, people still talk about it with relish when they mention it.

You said so, right? The dark... dwarf Dain.

Humph! You offended the lord and you still want to run away? !
