Seeing how close Gandalf and King Ellon are.
The dwarves who were originally in a tense atmosphere relaxed a little.
But looking at the elven cavalry still surrounding them, the dwarves would not relax.
Bilbo was still protected in the center by the dwarves.
Morgan stood next to Gandalf with a calm expression.
"Maybe it's because of us."
Hearing King Ellon's words, Gandalf smiled and said.
King Elon said nothing, waved the elf cavalry to disperse, and said a few words to the elf named Lind behind him.
Then he looked at the expedition team.
King Ellon's eyes first fell on Morgan standing next to Gandalf.
In the case where the vast majority of the expedition team are dwarves.
The tall, handsome human Morgan is definitely a conspicuous presence.
Well, second only to Gandalf the Wizard.
Not just because Gandalf is taller than Morgan.
More because of Gandalf's traditional wizard image.
In Middle-earth, too few people have actually met a wizard.
The image of wizards is basically a legendary existence in the eyes of most people.
King Elon looked at Morgan and said with a smile: "Who is this?"
Gandalf was about to make an introduction when he saw Morgan take a step forward when King Ellon spoke, bowed slightly, saluted the elf lord who was famous throughout Middle-earth, and said:
"I'm Morgan."
"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Elon..."
Gandalf looked at Morgan's movements with a smile on his face, but he was thoughtful in his heart.
In fact, he knew that it was a bit risky to bring the expedition team to Rivendell to seek help.
Because the final goal of the expedition team is to steal the "Arken Stone", which symbolizes the highest authority of the dwarves, from the underground treasure house of the Lonely Mountain where the dragon Smaug is entrenched.
With the Arken Stone, Thorin Oakenshield can call on reinforcements from other dwarves to help him deal with the dragon Smaug in order to take back the Lonely Mountain.
There is no doubt about the evil and power of the dragon Smaug.
More than sixty years ago, he was able to single-handedly destroy the then powerful Yamashita Kingdom.
He monopolized the mountainous and sea-like wealth of the kingdom under the mountain for sixty years.
During this process, no other force dared to challenge Smaug.
This is the terrifying power of the dragon Smaug.
Such an evil and terrifying powerful existence has occupied Gushan for sixty years.
But it also stayed quiet for sixty years.
This is something that the major forces in China are very happy to see.
No one knows exactly how much wealth "Irub", known as the wealth capital of the Yamashita Kingdom, possessed more than sixty years ago.
But everyone knows that the kingdom under the mountain occupied by the Turin dwarves is extremely wealthy.
At that time, after the Kingdom under the Mountain was captured by the dragon, it was widely spread around the world that the Kingdom under the Mountain was destroyed because they had too much wealth, which attracted the covetousness of the dragon Smaug.
that's the truth.
All the major powers in Middle-earth are jealous of the huge wealth of the Kingdom under the Mountain.
But no one dares to move, no one can do anything!
This is actually the best thing. It is occupied by the dragon Smaug and no one can get it.
Everyone needs balance.
At the same time, because he occupies a huge amount of wealth, the dragon Smaug can also stay quietly under the Lonely Mountain and will not run around and cause trouble.
And he stayed there for sixty years.
This is what all the forces want to see, and it is best for Smaug to stay in the wealth of the Lonely Mountain until his death.
That's the case.
Gandalf leads an expedition team and a group of dwarves to the Lonely Mountain to deal with the dragon Smaug, hoping to take back the kingdom under the mountain.
Once such a risky move is known to the major forces that protect the stability of Middle-earth, the reaction can be imagined.
This is also the reason why Thorin Oakenshield strongly opposes coming to Rivendell.
Of course, the hatred between the dwarves and the elves is also important.
The Turin dwarf clan represented by Thorin Oakenshield wants to take back the Lonely Mountain. There is a reason for hatred and it is reasonable.
All the major forces have their own reasons for the sake of peace and stability in China.
As for Gandalf himself, he realized that the dark forces were about to move, and this was the motive for Thorin Oakenshield and his party to take back the Lonely Mountain.
Because once the dark forces come back again, they are likely to unite with the dragon Smaug.
With Smaug's evil power, by then, it would be too late.
Gandalf came to Middle-earth as the minor god Maia to maintain peace.
This is his mission.
This is why even if he knew that the expedition team might be blocked from coming to Rivendell.
But he still came because of his friendly relationship with King Elon.
There is also a reason why he wants to try to persuade others once he is blocked.
Because he knew that it would be difficult to hide this matter from those powerful beings.
As for whether he came to Rivendell to unravel the Lonely Mountain map in order to convince Thorin Oakenshield.
Only Gandalf knows.
...
"Welcome to Rivendell..."
"Morgan, I hope you can have fun in Rivendell next time."
King Elon looked at Morgan and smiled.
Regardless of his identity as Lord of Rivendell, the Elf King Eldron is impeccable in terms of personal cultivation.
In the story of Morgan's memory, he was deeply impressed by this elf lord who controlled the most powerful force in the entire Middle-earth world.
Now we come to Rivendell.
No matter in terms of identity, strength or status.
Morgan needs to show due respect to this Elf King.
"It will definitely happen. Rivendell is the most desirable place in the entire Middle-earth world..."
Morgan smiled and complimented.
Although this is indeed the case.
Had a brief chat with Morgan.
King Ellon's eyes turned to the dwarves who were still gathered together.
At this time, Thorin Oakenshield came out.
"Welcome, Thorin, son of Thorne."
King Ellon looked at Thorin Oakenshield and spoke in a deep voice.
"I don't think we've ever met."
Thorin's tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was a bit thorny.
"You look a lot like your grandfather. I met your grandfather Thor when he ruled the kingdom under the mountain."
As if he didn't care about Thorin's barbed words, King Elrond continued to speak.
"Really? He never mentioned you!"
Thorin continued, his words still laced with thorns.
King Ellon looked calm and did not seem to be angry at Thorin Oakenshield's unfriendly attitude.
But after King Elrond looked at Thorin Oakenshield, and then looked at the group of very vigilant dwarves behind him, he suddenly looked at Thorin Oakenshield in Elvish and said: "You are as stubborn as your grandfather Thor, no matter what Whether it’s his personality or his words, he’s always so disgusting.”
King Elon spoke very quickly.
But the expression on his face and the Elvish language rushing from his mouth.
Immediately, all the dwarves realized something was wrong.
The dwarves were not stupid. They seemed to have noticed that the elf lord in front of them said something bad to Thorin.
The dwarf Gloin immediately became angry: "What is he talking about?"
"Is he insulting us?"
Gloin spoke angrily, which immediately resonated with the other dwarves.
The dwarves suddenly became angry and booed.
Gandalf, who was standing aside, saw that the situation was not good and immediately stepped forward. Looking at the dwarves, he quickly said: "No, King Elon means that he wants to treat you to dinner!"
After Gandalf finished speaking, the dwarves immediately fell silent. You looked at me and I looked at you, and then whispered to each other for a while.
In the end, it was Ge Luoyin who said with some embarrassment: "In this case, then lead the way..."
