"What on earth is going on..." Seeing that there was another dwarf, Bilbo finally couldn't help asking.
"Bilbo Baggins, please allow me to introduce our leader, the dwarf prince, Thorin Oakenshield..." After hearing Bilbo's question, Gandalf introduced the new dwarf to Bilbo.
"So... is this the Hobbit? Tell me Mr. Baggins, do you often fight? Sorry, which one do you use as a weapon, an ax or a sword?" Thorin Oakenshield's words as Gandalf introduces himself His body immediately straightened up, and he immediately circled around Bilbo with a look of pride on his face, like a prince looking at his people.
"I don't understand anything, but what does this have to do with me?" Bilbo was stunned by Thorin's series of actions. If it weren't for the fact that he was a hobbit and had a friendly personality, the others would have Go up and beat this guy up.
"He doesn't look like a thief...but looks like a grocer." Thorin, who looked at Bilbo, concluded with disdain, and then ignored Bilbo who was still there stupidly, and said with a burst of ridicule. The other dwarves entered the restaurant.
"This..." Bilbo looked at Gandalf next to him stupidly, not knowing what to think.
In response, Gandalf could only shrug helplessly.
On the other side, Solin, who entered the restaurant, frowned slightly when he saw Ye Siyu and Kangna eating dinner at the table. He didn't remember that there were other people in his group joining him. Immediately, he looked towards The companion next to him asked in a low voice: "Who are they?"
"I don't know, he seems to be Bilbo's friend. According to Gandalf, he is a prophet.", the dwarf immediately replied in a low voice.
"Oh." Because there has never been a prophet in this world, Thorin didn't pay much attention to the dwarf's answer. He just said "oh" and then sat on the stool and ate the food. You know, in order to find Bilbo's home, he got lost twice and wasted a lot of energy.
At the same time, they were eating and talking about this operation.
Not long after, Bill and Gandalf also entered the restaurant to listen to the dwarves' discussion about this operation. Especially when it came to whether other dwarves would support this operation, all the dwarves held their breath. Seriously. Looking at Thorin, waiting for his answer.
"They said this was our expedition...just ours..." Thorin said with a frustrated look on the decision of the other dwarf tribes.
The dwarves who were originally extremely excited also had a look of despair on their faces after hearing Thorin's words. They all felt sad for the attitudes of other dwarves.
"You want to go on an adventure? Mr. Ye, is this the adventure you said yesterday that I'm looking forward to?"
Suddenly, Bilbo who was standing aside seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Ye Siyu who was leisurely holding the full and sleepy Kangna on a chair in the living room after dinner and asked with confusion.
"What?"
Hearing Bilbo's words, Gandalf, who had been silent until now, flashed a glint in his eyes, and then looked at Ye Siyu outside.
Just after Gandalf introduced Thorin, his eyes had been fixed on Ye Siyu who was having dinner in the restaurant.
He wanted to see how Ye Siyu would react after knowing about Thorin Oakenshield, but unfortunately, Ye Siyu remained unmoved and ate his food calmly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Upon discovering this, Gandalf turned his attention away and returned to this action.
Now after hearing Bilbo's words, his attention returned to Ye Siyu again, and at the same time he felt more and more trusting in Ye Siyu's identity as the prophet.
You must know that during this operation to find Bilbo, he told no one except Thorin, but Ye Siyu told Bilbo yesterday that his adventure had begun, so he obviously knew something.
Coupled with the fact that Ye Siyu knew about him before and exuded a temperament similar to Vera's, Gandalf felt even more that Ye Siyu was not simple.
"Gandalf, is he also the companion you summoned?"
Thorin on the side looked at Gandalf with a slight frown and asked.
"Yes."
Hearing Thorin's question, Gandalf glanced at Ye Siyu and replied affirmatively. He was testing Ye Siyu. If Ye Siyu really has the ability to predict, then he must have some purpose in contacting Bilbo, and this purpose is probably Join them in action this time.
Ye Siyu in the living room also heard Gandalf's answer, but he didn't refute anything. Originally, he was thinking about how to join this operation, but he didn't expect Gandalf to directly say that he was the companion he had summoned. In this way It saved Ye Siyu a lot of effort.
as expected!
Gandalf thought immediately when he saw that Ye Siyu had no reaction after hearing his words, which also made him more and more afraid of Ye Siyu.
Did he already know that he would say that he would gather his companions himself?
Is everything that happened today under his control?
It’s scary to think about it!
The more Gandalf thought about it, the more complicated his eyes looked at Ye Siyu.
If Ye Siyu knew what Gandalf was thinking now, he would definitely couldn't help laughing.
You must know that his so-called prophet status is just a bargaining chip that he threw out to attract Gandalf and invite him to join this operation. It has no other meaning at all.
"Gandalf, what is he capable of?"
Thorin asked with a frown. You must know that he paid a lot for this adventure, including part of the Lonely Mountain Treasure.
Although he could not guarantee that this operation would be successful, even so, he did not want to part with his family's treasure even just verbally.
"Um, precognition, yes, he can predict things."
Gandalf rolled his eyes and replied that he also wanted to see if Ye Siyu really had the ability to predict.
"Prophecy? If this is true, can he tell me whether our operation will be successful this time?"
Upon hearing Gandalf's answer, Thorin was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously.
"I can't answer this question for you. You have to ask Mr. Ye." Gandalf did not answer Thorin's question, but threw it to Ye Siyu. At the same time, he looked at Ye Siyu with interest. He also wanted to hear Ye Siyu's answer. .
Suddenly, everyone in the room paid attention to Ye Siyu. Their eyes were filled with doubts, excitement, and curiosity, and they were all waiting for Ye Siyu's answer.
"success."
Ye Siyu replied briefly and concisely.
"Really?!"
"We will succeed!"
"We can really take back Lonely Mountain!"
…
Ye Siyu's answer made the dwarves very excited. Everyone stood up from their seats and walked up to Ye Siyu, their dirty faces full of excitement.
"I wonder what I call this gentleman?"
Although Thorin was as excited as the other dwarves, he knew that now was not the time to get excited, so he took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"Siyu·Ye." Ye Siyu replied calmly.
"Mr. Ye, I don't know how you can prove what you said?" Solin asked, staring at Ye Siyu.
"Proof? I am already proof here." Ye Siyu stood up and said holding Kang Na who had fallen asleep.
"What……"
"Is he proof?"
"Is he a scroll?"
…
Ye Siyu's answer made the dwarves with weak minds look puzzled.
"Gandalf, have you told him about this?" Thorin, who was equally confused, looked at Gandalf and asked.
Although he was not very smart, he understood what Ye Siyu said, that is, the reason why Ye Siyu appeared here was obviously attracted by their actions this time.
In response, Gandalf, who also understood what Ye Siyu meant, shook his head.
"What about you?" Seeing Gandalf's denial, Thorin looked at the other dwarves.
"What's going on?"
The other dwarves still didn't know what Thorin was talking about, and looked confused.
"Have you told anyone else about our trip to the Lonely Mountain this time?" Thorin asked seriously.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"We don't even know him!"
…
All the dwarves shook their heads.
"Phew! Sir, what do you want?"
Seeing that everyone said that they had not told anyone about this matter, it meant that Ye Siyu probably really knew about this matter.
And since Ye Siyu knew about this action and now joined him, his plan would definitely not be that simple.
"Arken gem." Ye Siyu also directly stated her request.
"This is impossible!"
"Impossible! That's the symbol of the king!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
…
Upon hearing Ye Siyu's request, Thorin and the other dwarves' first reaction was to object. Although the value of the Aken gem was not even 1% of the treasures in the Lonely Mountain, its significance was extraordinary. It was an heirloom of his family. , how could it be handed over to Ye Siyu.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Didn't you just ask me to predict whether your operation will be successful? Then do you want to know the specific content?"
Regarding Sorin's rejection, Ye Siyu did not have the slightest doubt, but said while gently patting Kang Na's back.
"Say!" Thorin said solemnly.
"I have two prophecies, one with me and one without me. Which one do you want to hear first?" Ye Siyu looked at Solin and asked.
"Without your prophecy."
Thorin chose the last one without thinking, because if the prophecy predicted that they would succeed, then it would be the same with or without Ye Siyu.
"Without my prophecy, you would have succeeded in defeating Smaug."
"Very good!"
"yeah!"
"I told you we would make it!"
…
As soon as Ye Siyu finished his first sentence, the dwarves immediately cheered.
"Quiet! I guess it's not that simple."
Suddenly, Gandalf gave a soft drink, immediately interrupted the cheers of the dwarves and looked at Ye Siyu and said.
At this moment, the dwarves who were still cheering closed their mouths and looked at Ye Siyu.
"Yes, although you successfully defeated Smaug, in the end only Gandalf and Bilbo will survive in your group, and the rest of you will die. You will be burned to charcoal by Smaug's breath of fire. You will Tear to pieces by Smaug, you will be eaten as a snack by Smaug... As for you, the dwarf prince Thorin, you will die in gold... All gold and treasures will be divided between humans and elves..."
Ye Siyu pointed at the dwarves one by one from left to right while telling them how they died in the 'prophecy'.
"What!? I'm going to be eaten by a dragon!"
"No, I don't want to become a roast suckling pig, no, a roast dwarf."
"How to do this?"
"I don't want the treasure to be obtained by anyone else."
…
Death is not scary, what is scary is knowing when and how you will die, so these dwarves became extremely panicked after knowing how they died.
"Phew! What about your prophecy?"
Thorin took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, then looked at Ye Siyu and asked.
"All of you will survive." Ye Siyu gave a very simple answer.
"Very good!"
"It's good to be alive!"
"Long live!"
…
Ye Siyu's answer made the originally panicked dwarves find a backbone and cheered one after another. The change was so fast that it was staggering. They were just a bunch of funny people.
"Dwarf Prince, what is your answer? To give or not to give?" Ye Siyu looked at Thorin calmly and asked.
Hearing Ye Siyu's words, Thorin did not answer hastily this time, his face was full of struggle. He was considering whether he should call the Aken gem to Ye Siyu in exchange for victory in this operation.
"What proof do you have to guarantee that our action will be successful with you? I don't think you alone can match so many of us! What I need is real proof! Not verbal proof! ", Solin asked after thinking for a while and looked at Ye Siyu.
"Yeah, how can you alone compare to so many of us!"
"Prove it! Prove it!"
"Yes, we have to prove it."
…
The dwarf next to him suddenly shouted.
"hehe."
Looking at the dwarves asking for proof, Ye Siyu smiled softly and then snapped his fingers.
At this moment, Gandalf's eyes suddenly shrank, looking at Ye Siyu with horror in his eyes.
The next moment, the temperature of the originally warm house dropped sharply and became cold. Even the warm light took on a cold color. In an instant, the floor and walls of the house were covered with a thin layer of frost.
"How is this going?"
"so cold!"
"Oh my God! My feet are frozen!"
However, in just a few seconds, the dwarves who were still alive and kicking just now were instantly frozen. Only one head was left that could barely move. As for the body, they were frozen and unable to move.
"Are you satisfied with this proof?" Ye Siyu asked calmly while looking at the frozen Solin.
"I...I...give...", Thorin replied with a trembling mouth.
Thanks to: 'Zhang Peiran' for the 500 starting coins; 'The Most Handsome Pengpeng' and 'Maxim' for the 100 starting coins.
