Chapter 4: Heaven on Earth

Chapter 4: Heaven on Earth...

The dwarf is the most greedy creature in Middle-earth continent. Its greed for money is even greater than that of the dragon. This desire for money is even so strong that they resist the temptation of the Supreme Lord Ring and completely transform the temptation of darkness into the greed for precious metals. This can be said to be an extremely strange talent and hobby.

From the plot of the movie, we can see that when the Kingdom of the Mountain still existed, Thor's grandfather, the king of the Mountain at that time, had a strong collection habit of gold, and all of this was expressed in the movie.

Relatively speaking, Thorin did not have this tendency. He acted more like a human aristocrat, pursuing honor and power. On the contrary, he didn't care much about money. This can be seen from his performance in the Blue Mountains. What he was deliberately trying to regain the Lone Mountains instead of accumulating more wealth. Even if he was not allowed to pay the treasures in the kingdom at the foot of the mountain to outsiders, it was just that he believed that the wealth belonged to the Turin dwarves, not that he liked gold.

However, dwarves like Thorin are a very small number of dwarves after all. In contrast, most dwarves are obsessed with precious metals, especially the nobles in the dwarves. They can get all kinds of wealth through their power, while the civilians are not so lucky. They are like working people in modern cities. They can have food and clothing and enjoy occasionally, but they definitely do not belong to the bourgeoisie, and they cannot imagine the speed at which the bourgeoisie accumulates wealth, just like in front of them...

"The Blue Mountain buys more than 80% of the food from the Kingdom of Humanity every year, and there are 30% of the dwarves in the Blue Mountains who can't even eat enough food. Solin even personally builds weapons for this and sells them to the Kingdom of Humanity. This is what he told me personally, and it is what most of you have seen with their own eyes. This is still in the Blue Mountains. In the Kingdom of Humanity, the dwarves who live in foreign lands are displaced. They are as thin as the Hobbits. Many of their children are even starved to death. The financial situation of the Blue Mountains is said to have been deficit for several years. So even if Solin wants to retake Gushan, he does not ask for any support from the Blue Mountains because he has no money..."

Speaking of this, Chu Hao immediately asked the dwarf elder in a sharp tone and said, "Then I want to ask you, where did you come from, where did you earn it from? Don't tell me that you earned it from, nor do you tell me that you mined it yourself. There is no such wealth in the entire Blue Mountain to give you such a large collection, so where can you come from? It's just that you betrayed Thorin, sold the Turin dwarves, sold your ancestors, and then got these wealth from the orcs. You know, the orcs occupy the ancient hometown of the once dwarfs, and there are countless mineral veins there!"

The dwarf elder seemed to have understood something. He kept retreating and shouting as he retreated: "I didn't, I didn't betray Thorin, nor the Dwarfs of Turin. These golds, these golds are indeed mine. Yes, these golds are my collections brought from Gushan, and I didn't betray anyone!"

But even the nobles did not believe this, because when the Turin dwarves escaped from the Lone Mountain, they almost abandoned everything they escaped. All the gold almost became the collection of fire dragons. How could the dwarf elder bring out gold from there?

Of course, the nobles all knew where the gold of the dwarf elders came from. In fact, a small number of civilians also knew, but this was a taboo and no one could say it. Doing it was one thing, and saying it was another. If they were not afraid of being torn to pieces by civilians who were so angry that they were about to starve to death, then they could say it, but no one could bear the consequences.

Just as the civilians around were angry and silent, and the nobles and soldiers were also silent, Chu Hao suddenly spoke again: "You betrayed Thorin, you betrayed the lord you swear allegiance to, you betrayed the Turin Dwarves lineage! And these golds are the wealth of the entire Blue Mountains, belonging to all Turin dwarves, and should be dominated and enjoyed by all Turin dwarves!"

At this time, a very small number of nobles turned their eyes and began to echo Chu Hao's words. Looking at the full color of gold, listening to the ownership of these wealth, and when the other party was a traitor, the civilians also began to clamor, and the dwarves in the army also looked at the dwarf elder with doubts and anger. The whole scene began to boil gradually.

At this time, another dwarf elder stood up and said, "Because the Speaker is indeed suspected of betraying His Highness Thorin, we will detain him now and wait until His Highness Thorin returns before deciding to punish him. As for these wealth..."

Chu Hao would give these dwarf nobles and elders a chance, and he immediately shouted: "He betrayed your prince, he betrayed the grandson of Thor, son of Thor, Thorne Oak Shield! Dwarf soldiers! Do you still have a little blood? Looking at the treacherous villain who betrayed your heroes, he was taken away in front of you in this way!? Don't tell me, you don't know his power, don't tell me, you don't know his connections and network, and you may secretly leave the detention the next day when he is imprisoned!? As for these wealth, I'm afraid he will try every means to seize it. As long as he is still alive, he will definitely take it back?"

"Kill him, avenge His Highness Thorin, punish the traitors for bloodshed!"

"Kill him..."

"Kill him! Kill him!"

From the very few dwarves with bad tempers and stubborn personality at the beginning, almost all the civilians began to shout, and even the dwarves in the army made such roars. Moreover, the herd mentality, the law did not blame the masses, and under the protection of the greater authority of the royal power, more and more people kept roaring. In the end, except for the nobles and dwarf elders, almost all dwarfs roared like this, and the faces of the nobles and dwarf elders began to turn pale.

The dwarf elder who had said he wanted to detain the Speaker had also turned pale. He seemed to realize something and shouted loudly: "Quiet, we must respect the law, everything will be fair by the Palace of Thorin. I swear, I will never let this traitor go because of any situation. We can testify together and will keep him in custody until His Highness Thorin returns!"

"The second traitor is him!"

When the dwarf elder roared loudly, trying to stop the excited dwarfs, suddenly, Chu Hao pointed at the dwarf elder again and shouted loudly: "There is also evidence in his family, and it is him who not only betrayed Thorin, but also asked the orcs to kill Thorin. He just wanted to numb everyone, because as long as his conspiracy succeeds, Thorin will never be able to return, and he will be killed by the orc army!"

Hearing this, the most excited group of dwarf civilians began to crowd forward and wanted to rush forward to beat these traitors. The dwarf guards tried to stop them at first, but when they were scolded by these civilians as traitors and lackeys and questioned whether they were still loyal to Prince Thorin, the dwarf guards were silent, and then relaxed the defense line vaguely. Some dwarf guards even participated directly, almost like siege and beating, knocking the two dwarf elders to the ground, and then... there was no more. The chaos present had already made the two dwarf old men die so much that they could not die again...

After obeying Chu Hao's words of searching for evidence, the dwarf civilians and the dwarf army found a large amount of precious metals in the elder's home. Although the number was less than that of the dwarf elder's speaker, it was also a wealth that the civilians could not imagine.

"Traitors! They betrayed Thorin! They betrayed the Turin dwarves just for their desires and for these gold, and all of this belongs to all the Turin dwarves!"

"These gold will be used to buy a lot of food, and any Turin dwarf will be able to eat enough and never be hungry again!"

"This gold can also be purchased for good clothing. Even in winter and on the mountains, cold is no longer a problem!"

"These gold can also be used to buy land, weapons, and daily necessities. This is the wealth of everyone!"

"This noble has also betrayed Thorin, and I don't know much about these nobles, but I can go to their house to find evidence. If they have not betrayed, they can definitely show their innocence..."

"This, this, this, this..."

Fanatic emotions can often make people regardless of truth or falsehood. Once the fanatical trend is formed, even if you were once a prominent noble, a powerful general, or a leader who spoke of generals and ministers, at this moment, you are just an ant in the tide of fanaticism. All of this has been staged countless times in history, and all of this seems to have never been so simple...

It is hard to say whether it is a carnival or a real bloody thing. When the fanaticism began to spread, from dwarf elders, dwarf nobles, and then to the wealthy people at the upper class... one after another became victims, and there were really found traitors who betrayed Thorin. The letters with written records seemed to prove the legitimacy and rationality of all this, because the people did not riot or rebellion. They were fighting for their kings, fighting to eliminate traitors, all of which were noble...

Isn't it?

Two days later, all the nobles, elders, and wealthy people in the Blue Mountain...

All the family died...
