Soon, only Xu Feng and King Thrandir were left on the huge platform.

King Thrandil sat at the banquet table calmly, filled himself with a glass of moonlight wine, and then took a sip.

"Now, there are no one else here, just say anything."

"White Gem Necklace." Xu Feng said bluntly.

King Thrandir was shocked, and almost couldn't hold the moonlight wine glass in his hand.

He stared at Xu Feng with wide eyes, "What did you say?"

Xu Feng sat down calmly, poured himself a glass of moonlight wine, took a big sip, and then said with a smile: "You heard it right, it's the White Gem Necklace."

King Thrandir said coldly: "Can you help me find the white gem necklace? Do you know where the white gem necklace is?"

Xu Feng said lightly: "It's not easy to find in Gushan Palace. After all, Gushan Palace has too many gold, silver and treasures, and there is also a prehistoric dragon."

Thrandir frowned slightly: "You know everything? But it is definitely not that simple to retrieve the white gem necklace. In addition to Smaug, there is another person that is difficult to deal with, that is the stubborn Thorin. If Thorin knew, if you returned the white gem necklace to me, he would be furious!"

Xu Feng grinned and said, "So, you have already talked to Thorin about this deal, but Thorin did not agree."

Thrandir sneered and said, "The dwarves are all greedy and shameless. It turns out that I shouldn't make a deal with him, but why should I believe you? Your other teammates are very close to Thorin. Thorin should be your friend, right? Are you willing to risk offending your friend to make this deal with me?"

Xu Feng took another sip of Moonlight Wine, shrugged and said, "First of all, Thorin is not my friend. The human mercenaries you are detained are my friends, so from this perspective, I am willing to make this deal with you. Secondly, if you don't trust me, what can you do? Should I keep my mercenary friends in the future?"

This is what it means to the point.

King Thrandir can imprison the Lone Mountain dwarves without restrictions, but cannot imprison humans without restrictions.

The Gully Mountain dwarves have no country, while humans have countries. Detention of humans is likely to cause diplomatic disputes.

Although King Thrandir is not worried about diplomatic disputes between mankind, it is not what King Thrandir is willing to see that a dispute has been caused for a few "unimportant" human beings.

King Thrandil thought for a while, “Can you really get me a gem necklace?”

Xu Feng smiled and said, "I only promised to help you, but there is no guarantee if I can get the gem necklace back."

King Thrandil frowned and said, "You said you wanted to make a deal with me, and asked me to let your friend go, but in the end I didn't even give me the promise to return the White Gem Necklace. I'm very much in this deal."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "As far as I know, the white gem necklace should be priceless, right? You let my friends go with nothing but a simple task. I will bring you a priceless treasure for your simple task. This transaction is not too equivalent."

King Thrandil said coldly: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I can put it to your friend. You don't have to promise me that you can get the white gem necklace back, but as long as you can get the gem necklace back for me, I can give you whatever you want."

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Really?"

King Thrandir added: "Of course, what you want must be within my ability."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Of course. Oh, by the way, why is that white gem necklace so important to you? As far as I know, there should be many rare treasures in the Gushan Palace, and even their inherited objects, the Heart of the Mountains. Whoever can get the Heart of the Mountains can control the nine dwarf kingdoms, why don't you want the Heart of the Mountains?"

King Thrandir smiled coldly and said, "The heart of the mountains is indeed a treasure, but it does not mean anything to me. Look, I am the king of wood elves. I can hold a grand starry dinner every night in my country. I have an almost endless lifespan, and my subjects are all handsome men and beautiful women. Why should I rule over those dirty and greedy dwarves?"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "That's right."

King Thrandil sighed faintly, "And, the white gem necklace is originally the treasure of our wood elves, not of the Lone Mountain Dwarfs."

"Oh?" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows gently.

King Thrandir said: "White gems are the inheritance gems of wood elves. Since we were born, the white gems have been our wood elves. We wood elves have experienced a lot of hardships and have undergone many migrations, but no matter what, the white gems belong to us. Until one day, I wanted to present my wife with the most beautiful necklace in the world on her 8,000th birthday."

King Thrandir sighed, closed his eyes with a painful expression, as if he was reluctant to recall the situation at that time.

But he continued in a gentle tone: "We elves are also skilled craftsmen who build weapons and equipment. But... the best metal materials are all from Gushan."

"So I'll bring you a white gem to Gushan to make a deal with the then Gushan King Thor. After King Thor knew what I was going to come, he agreed readily. After all, for Gushan dwarves, this is a great opportunity for them to earn gold coins."

"King Thor spoke up and told me that it would take at least three months to create the perfect necklace, and the labor cost of 3 million gold coins."

"To be honest, this price is tantamount to blackmail. Even if you use the best metal and craftsmen in the world to create a necklace, it will not cost 300,000 gold coins. However, I don't care, I care that it's just a perfect necklace."

"My wife is terminally ill. Everyone knows that she will die soon. I want to give her the most perfect necklace before she leaves."

"So, I agreed to the price of 3 million gold coins almost without hesitation, and paid a deposit of 1 million gold coins on the spot."

"When I handed over the gold coins to King Thor, I clearly saw the greed in the eyes of the dwarves."

"I regretted it a little, and I hesitated, but I finally took out the white gem and handed it to King Thor."

"I promised King Thor that as long as he can make the most perfect necklace in the world as I ask, then our Wood Elf clan will be his most determined ally in the future and will never betray it."

King Thrandil said in a deep voice: "Whether you believe it or not, human beings, I said that and thought so at that time."
