Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

He took a deep breath, walked out of the crowd, and said solemnly to Dui:

"Dui'er, thank you for helping me recapture the Lonely Mountain from the dragon. Now you have helped us resist the Orc army and prevented the Lonely Mountain from falling."

"Also, I'm sorry for saying something rude to you because I was mentally disturbed before, although that was not my intention."

Dui's smile faded, and he looked at Thorin calmly, saying in a calm voice, "I'm glad to see you've come to your senses. I accept your apology."

Thorin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately assured, "Don't worry, I'll have someone divide up the one-tenth of the treasure that belongs to you as quickly as possible and hand it over to you!"

"Although Bilbo didn't find the Arkenstone, I won't lose his share either."

Dewi nodded, finally showing a favorable look towards Thorin.

Although it is unclear how Thorin got rid of the effects of dragon disease and regained his sanity.

But at this moment, Thorin finally looked a bit like the king under the mountain.

Thranduil also took this opportunity to ask Thorin for the custom-made white gem necklace.

However, this time he did not choose to seize it by force, but expressed his willingness to pay a reward that would satisfy Thorin and take back the relic that belonged to his deceased wife.

Thorin, who had regained his sanity, directly expressed his willingness to return the property to its original owner without asking for Thranduil's reward.

In the hope of repairing the relationship between the Mountain Kingdom and the Woodland Kingdom.

This softened Thranduil's attitude towards Thorin, and he also said that he would return the Beast Bite Sword he had confiscated to Thorin.

In addition, Thorin also promised to give one-fourteenth of the treasure to Bard and the residents of Long Lake Town.

He also gave one-fourteenth of the treasure to his cousin Dain Ironfoot to thank him for leading the dwarf army across thousands of miles to help him.

Similarly, the twelve dwarves who followed Thorin to Lonely Mountain also received a share of the treasure.

Thorin's generosity has impressed everyone.

Gandalf, who had long been disappointed with Thorin, was even more happy about this.

It is believed that Lonely Mountain will welcome a wise dwarf king, and the kingdom under the mountain will become more powerful than ever.

After the war,

After Thranduil got the white gem necklace, he formally said goodbye and led the elven army back to Mirkwood.

In the meantime, a small incident occurred.

The elf Tauriel asks Thranduil to let her leave the woodland kingdom because she wants to be with the dwarf Kili.

Tauriel and Kili had an encounter when a group of dwarves were captured in Mirkwood and imprisoned in the elven dungeon. Later, after being ordered to hunt down the dwarves and coming to Lake-town, Tauriel used kingsleaf to save Kili who was hit by Morgul's arrow.

So feelings developed between the two of them unknowingly.

Thranduil disagreed with Tauriel's desire to be with the dwarves.

Elves have eternal life, while dwarves only live for a few hundred years, which is just a blink of an eye for elves.

Although elves have infinite lifespans, they are not immortal. They are either killed or die from a broken heart.

If Tauriel chooses to be with Kili, as their feelings grow deeper, when Kili dies of old age, Tauriel will die of grief and heartbreak.

Giving up eternal life for love seemed extremely irrational to Thranduil.

Legolas, who had a good relationship with Tauriel and always regarded her as his own sister, could not accept Tauriel's choice.

Trying to persuade Tauriel.

Even Kili didn't want Tauriel to give up her long life for him.

But Tauriel was very persistent, and she was very determined when she fell in love.

Seeing her firm attitude, Thranduil stopped trying to persuade her. He agreed to her request and returned to Mirkwood with the sad Legolas.

On the other hand, Kili, moved by Tauriel's dedication, also made a request to Thorin.

Tauriel was not suitable to live in Lonely Mountain, so he prepared to leave Lonely Mountain and live with Tauriel.

Thorin was naturally very reluctant to let go, as Kili was not only his right-hand man, but also his nephew.

Thorin has no descendants. Fili and Kili are both his nephews, and the position of King under the Mountain will basically be inherited by one of them in the future.

But now that Qili insisted on his request, Thorin had no choice but to agree.

Dui did not express his opinion on this interracial love, but he was a little curious about what the offspring of dwarves and elves would look like.

Will it lean towards dwarves or elves?

An image of a dwarf with pointed ears popped up in Dui's mind unconsciously. He was instantly speechless by his own imagination and quickly got rid of this outrageous idea.

When Qili and Tauriel were about to leave, Dui also expressed his blessings to them.

He asked curiously, "What are your plans next? Where are you going?"

Kili and Tauriel looked at each other, their gazes almost strained.

He said with a bright smile, "We plan to look around and stop if we find a place we like."

"Then if you come to the West, please be sure to visit Fengyunding and let me show my hospitality."

Dui invited with a smile.

Chapter 118: Dividing Treasures

Inside the Dwarven Hall of Lonely Mountain.

Thorin sat on the upper throne.

Due, Gandalf, Dain, Bilbo, and Bard sat on either side.

As for Beorn, after the Orcs were defeated, he took a ride on a giant eagle and returned to his home.

The reason why everyone gathered here was for the mountains of treasure in the treasury.

Thorin looked at the people below, his eyes twinkling as he said, "I have already distributed the treasures these days. The purpose of having everyone come here is to ensure that everyone can get their own share of the treasure."

"The only pity is that we didn't find the Arkenstone in the treasury. I'm afraid this treasure of our clan has been lost and cannot be seen by everyone!"

As he said this, he looked around at everyone, inadvertently observing their reactions.

"What? The Arkenstone is missing?" The most excited person was Dain.

"How could the Arkenstone be missing? Isn't it hidden in the treasury? How could it be lost?"

The Arkenstone is like the imperial seal to the dwarves, a symbol of royal power. Only by obtaining it can one command the seven dwarf tribes. It is of utmost importance.

Now that this treasure is gone, Dai Yin can't help but feel anxious.

After all, Thorin, who possesses the Arkenstone, is the true King under the Mountain and the king recognized by all dwarves.

Otherwise, Thorin could only be the king of Durin's clan, but could not command other dwarves.

There is a huge gap between the two.

The seven tribes of dwarves are the Longbeard, Firebeard, Broadbeam, Ironfist, Hardbeard, Blackhair, and Stonefoot.

Among them, the Longbeard clan is the Durin clan to which Thorin belongs.

The seven tribes of dwarves live in different places in Middle-earth, relatively independent of each other but also connected.

The seven dwarf rings that Sauron gave were given to the leaders of these seven tribes.

During the reign of Thorin's ancestor, Thrain I, the Arkenstone was dug out from the depths of the Lonely Mountain and was created by the Dwarf craftsmen with all their might.

The jewel was recognized by the seven clans of the dwarves, and the seven families had sworn allegiance to the holder of the Arkenstone.

Therefore, whoever possesses it is regarded as the king of the dwarves and can command all dwarves.

The others were also very surprised to hear that the Arkenstone could not be found.

Bilbo was surprised and felt a little guilty.

He thought that if he had been more careful at the beginning, he might have obtained the Arkenstone and it would not be missing.

In Bilbo's opinion, since the Arkenstone could not be found, it was very likely that it had been destroyed in Smaug's dragon fire long ago, just as Duir had said before.

When Gandalf heard this, he was a little surprised and glanced at Bilbo and Due thoughtfully.

As for Dui, he looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Thorin looked at the reactions of the people below and set his gaze on Dui.

"Duyle, I want to ask you for something."

"Could you lend me the Stone of Palantir so I can find the whereabouts of the Arkenstone and fulfill my wish?"

The others' eyes fell on Dui.

Dui raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes flashed, and he said in a calm voice, "It is possible, but the Crystal of True Knowledge has been discovered by Sauron. He once tried to corrupt me through the crystal. I was only saved by the protection of Lórien's wife."

"If you use it, be prepared to be discovered and corrupted by it, falling into darkness."

When Gandalf heard Dewi's words, before Thorin could say anything, his face changed and he shook his head very seriously.

"The fact that Soran can see Duir through the Stone of True Knowledge means that he also has a Stone of True Knowledge in his hand. He can see everything here through the stone and even influence people, causing them to fall into darkness and become his servants!"

"Sauron's dark power is more dangerous than dragon disease. You never know when you might fall victim to his attack. It's too dangerous!

Thorin, you can't take risks with the Palantir!"

But even after Thorin regained his sanity, he was still the stubborn dwarf.

"The Arkenstone is of vital importance to my Durin clan. Gandalf, I am willing to take a risk. You don't need to persuade me. I am willing to bear all the consequences!"

He then stepped down from the throne, came before Dui, and looked him in the eyes: "Dui'er, please agree to my request!"

Dui didn't avoid the other person's gaze and chuckled, saying, "Since you insist, I have no reason to refuse."

As he spoke, he took out the Crystal of True Knowledge from the space bag and placed it on the table in front of him.

"please!"

Thorin looked at Dewey, his eyes flickering.

"Thank you!"

As he spoke, he held up the Stone of Truth in his hands, staring intently into it, concentrating his attention on the location of the Arkenstone.

The mist in the crystal quickly dissipated, revealing the scene in the treasure house.
