Thorin was suddenly delighted. Could it be that the Arkenstone was still in the treasury?
But just as he tried hard to find the Arkenstone in the picture, there were only mountains of treasures in the picture, and no trace of the Arkenstone at all.
Thorin searched unwillingly, but after searching for a long time he still found nothing.
He put down the Crystal of True Knowledge in great disappointment.
"Could it be that the Arkenstone was truly destroyed by dragon flame?"
Thorin murmured in frustration and confusion.
Dui ignored his emotions and put the Crystal of True Knowledge away again.
"Okay, Thorin, now that we've finished our investigation, let's get down to business."
Thorin was a little depressed at this moment. He waved his hand and asked Balin and others to lead everyone to the treasury to take their own share of the treasure.
He just stared at the empty seat on the throne where the Arkenstone was set in silence.
When everyone came into the treasury, they were once again shocked by the treasures inside.
The treasury is very large, and all the treasures are divided into several parts, each of which is piled up into a mountain.
"Duyr, this is your treasure, take one tenth."
Balin took Dui to the highest golden mountain and explained to him.
"And the others nearby belong to Lord Dain, Master Bard, and you, Bilbo."
He pointed to a few shorter golden mountains nearby and said to Dain, Bard and Bilbo.
When Dain saw the mountain of gold that belonged to him, he immediately smiled.
After all, no dwarf could refuse such a large treasure.
Bard was also very happy. With so much treasure, it was enough for him to rebuild Valley City and restore the glory of his ancestors.
Bilbo was very uneasy when he saw the mountain of gold that was given to him.
He felt that he had not completed his mission and helped Thorin obtain the Arkenstone, so he did not deserve such a large share of the treasure.
So he shook his head and took a few steps back, feeling ashamed.
"No, I didn't complete the mission, so I don't deserve a share of the treasure. I can't take it!"
Fili and Bofur pushed Bilbo back and laughed:
"Well, Bilbo, you're welcome. Even if you haven't found the Arkenstone, you are still a member of our expedition.
Don't forget that you saved us from the giant spider in Mirkwood and freed us from the elven dungeon. You deserve all of this."
Even so, Bilbo still felt that he did not deserve so much.
It was the first time that everyone had seen a Hobbit who was so uninterested in money.
In the end Bilbo was still prepared to take only a little, and that was enough.
Thorin had calmed down and came to the treasure house. Seeing that Bilbo didn't want the mountain of gold, he liked him even more.
He immediately took out a piece of mithril soft armor from the treasure house and put it on Bilbo.
The Mithril Soft Armor is priceless and feels weightless when worn, yet it is invulnerable to swords and spears, and even the sharpest elven sword cannot break it.
Just enough to protect Bilbo.
Then he prepared to fill Bilbo's bag with all the gold coins and jewelry he could take away.
Doi didn't want Bilbo to suffer any loss, so he immediately cast a traceless stretching spell on a purse and put almost half of the gold mountain into it. He didn't stop the spell until Bilbo shouted "Enough, enough" loudly.
Thorin twitched his lips when he saw this scene, and his expression almost broke.
He had forgotten about the existence of the unreasonable Dui!
Dui didn't care what Thorin thought. He took out a hide purse and used his magic wand to expand the space inside until it reached half the size of a football field.
Then the pocket automatically jumped onto the gold mountain that belonged to him like a whale, sucking the treasure into it continuously.
Thus one tenth of the treasure, which belonged to him, fell into his hands.
These treasures are enough to make him the second richest man in Middle-earth after Lonely Mountain.
Bard and Dain, who witnessed this scene, were stunned, and then they were envious and eager.
They also want to have a purse that can hold a whole mountain of gold.
Dui also cast a spell on the two people's purses, but the space was not as large as Dui's.
But even so, the two of them regarded it as a treasure. After all, a purse that could hold such a huge space was no less valuable than the treasure in front of them.
After taking his share of the treasure, Dui did not stay here any longer.
He left Lonely Mountain with Gandalf, Bilbo and Bard and returned to Dale first.
After staying in Dale for a few days, Duee, Gandalf and Bilbo set off again with the reluctant farewell of Bard and the residents.
As for the fireplace in Riverdale, Due still kept it and even gave Bard a small bottle of Floo powder, welcoming him to visit Windcloud Summit in the future.
The house where Dui and his family lived was later renovated by Bard into a magnificent building, second only to the lord's palace.
Bard also permanently retained Dui's ownership of the house, declaring him a permanent member of River Valley City and free to live here at any time.
However, these Duis are currently unknown.
He was currently riding on Smaug's back with Gandalf and Bilbo, heading towards Mirkwood.
Since he had promised Thranduil that he would visit the Woodland Kingdom, he would naturally not go back on his word.
More importantly, he also wanted to take Smaug to Rivendell so that Elrond, the master of medicine, could heal Smaug's wings.
The traceless extension spell that Dui cast now was still unable to successfully fit the giant dragon Smaug into a space.
After all, Smaug's body is more than 140 meters long, his head is 12 meters high without horns, and his wingspan is 120 meters!
With such a huge body, if you want to fit him completely inside and still allow him to move freely, I'm afraid the only thing that can do it is Newt Scamander's suitcase.
But it is obvious that Dui does not have that ability now.
So they could only choose the dumbest way, taking Smaug across the Misty Mountains and going to the valley on the other side of the mountain for treatment.
Of course, Dewi also tried to persuade Gandalf and Bilbo to teleport directly from the hearth in Dale to Rivendell to wait for him.
However, the two of them obviously prefer cooler activities such as riding dragons.
Instead of arriving at the destination in the blink of an eye, there is no sense of involvement in the journey at all.
These words came only from the mouth of a gray-robed wizard who wished to remain anonymous.
Chapter 119 Holy White Fruit
Dui and the other two came all the way to the outside of the dark forest.
As soon as we arrived here, the elves from the Woodland Kingdom were already waiting for us.
Dui was surprised to see the person coming to pick him up.
"Your Highness Legolas, why did you come here in person?"
"When you first arrived near Long Lake Town, the patrolling guards saw the silhouette of a giant dragon from afar. My father knew you were coming, so he specially asked me to come and greet you." Legolas said with a warm smile.
Then his eyes couldn't help but fall on the giant dragon behind the three people.
Although I had seen him before on the battlefield of Lonely Mountain, I still felt a little scared when I saw him again.
"Please follow me, my father has prepared a banquet for you all."
In order to prevent Smaug's appearance from causing unrest among the elves, Dewi asked Smaug to stay outside the forest. Then the three of them followed Legolas to the Woodland Kingdom again.
Thranduil sat high on the throne, dressed in gorgeous robes and wearing a crown woven from fiery red maple leaves and blueberries. He looked noble, majestic and elegant.
He is like an elf king who rules the endless forest.
Different from his attitude during the last meeting, this time Thranduil took the initiative to step down from the throne, his attitude reserved yet somewhat friendly.
"Welcome, welcome back! I've prepared a sumptuous feast of fine wine and delicious food. Please be sure to come and enjoy the meal!"
Gandalf, the diplomat among the three, leaned on his staff and nodded slightly in greeting. He smiled and said, "We are honored to have the honor of attending your Majesty's banquet!"
Thranduil asked Xiang Dui: "Why is there no sign of the dragon Smaug?"
"Smaug's body is too big and will crush the trees in the forest, so we have to let him wait outside the forest," Dui explained.
Thranduil nodded,
"That being said, we cannot neglect the dragon. I will have someone arrange another banquet for it outside the forest."
Dui didn't expect Thranduil to consider this, so he thanked him and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Then, led by Thranduil and accompanied by Legolas, everyone entered the banquet hall to attend the banquet.
Unlike the elves of Rivendell, whose diet tends to be light vegetarian, the elves of Mirkwood eat a mix of meat and vegetables.
And maybe it's because the elves here are close to the dwarves of Lonely Mountain, but the wood elves also like to drink, and they can even drink to excess. Although their gestures are elegant, they are more unrestrained.
During the banquet, accompanied by melodious music, the elf girls sang ancient elven epics, and the elf servants gracefully shuttled around the banquet, pouring wine for everyone.
Thranduil and Gandalf discuss the situation in Middle-earth.
Dewi and Bilbo listened to Legolas translating for them the Elf epic sung by the Elf maiden.
During the conversation, they inadvertently mentioned the wood elf Tauriel who chose to be with the dwarf Kili.
Legolas was a little down, grieving the impending loss of a friend.
Although he did not understand why Tauriel gave up her eternal life for love, she would die of a heartbroken death just a few hundred years later because of the death of her lover.
But in the end I chose to bless.
The atmosphere at the banquet was just right. Thranduil looked at Dui and told everyone a piece of news that surprised them.
Thranduil planned to send Legolas out for training.
He also asked Dui to let Legolas accompany them when they left this time.
Legolas was also surprised by this sudden announcement. Obviously, his father had not told him in advance.
Dui was surprised by Thranduil's request, but not surprised.
