After finishing the second round of instant noodles, the white-robed knights patted their stomachs with satisfaction and sat on the ground to rest.

Alsson blushed his face and wiped his mouth, stood up and walked to Thorin, bowed slightly and said, "Hello Prince Solin, I was so negligent just now, and I didn't have time to greet you. I am the prince of the Kingdom of Arno, Alsson, I am very happy to see you here."

Thorin nodded quickly and bowed slightly, "Your Highness Prince Alson is so polite. This is your territory. We are just passing by for the time being. I hope you don't mind Prince Alson."

Alsson quickly said, "How could you mind? In fact, thanks to your passing from here, if you hadn't asked Gandalf and Diedi to rescue Bree Town, and Bree Town was waiting for me to support him, the plague would have already rushed out of Bree Town and infected most parts of the country."

Thorin looked a little ashamed.

After all, he did not support Gandalf and "Didi" in the first place to save the town of Bree. He didn't care much about the life and death of the human race. His only goal in his heart was to restore his Lone Mountain Dynasty.

However, since that's the case, Thorin could not say in front of Prince Alsson that he actually did not support Gandalf and Diedi.

He smiled a little embarrassedly, "Actually, we haven't helped much. If you have anything else to do with Prince Alson, please just speak up."

Anyway, the plague has been resolved now, and other matters are easy to discuss.

Alsson seemed to be waiting for Thorin's words.

He grinned, "Well, I really have something to do. If you want to ask Prince Solin for help."

Thorin said quickly, "Please speak."

Alsson smiled and said, "If I'm right, Died should have been hired by you, right?"

Thorin nodded, "Yes, let's say that."

Alsson smiled and said, "I wonder how much you paid for hiring him?"

"This..." Thorin weighed for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "To be honest, Prince Alson, we are going to go to the Gushan Palace through the Mist Mountains. You should know that Gushan Palace is the industry of our Oak Shield Family. Since the evil dragon Smaug occupied it, the dwarves of our Oak Shield Tribe were displaced and miserable. If we don't go back, according to the timeliness, Gushan Palace will become a homeless land. At that time, any other force will be involved in the competition for wealth in Gushan Palace."

Alsson nodded and said, "Yes, I know about this. You have also sent a special envoy to meet my father and ask him to send troops to support him. Unfortunately, our Kingdom of Arno is not in good condition now, and we cannot help His Highness Sorin in this regard."

Thorin smiled faintly, "This is what I expected. After all, even the seven kingdoms of the dwarves have not helped us, and we cannot force the help of the human race. As I said just now, we organized an expedition team ourselves, and most of the members of this expedition team are my reliable members of the Oak Shield Tribe. Of course, there are also the reliable mage of the Grey Robe of the Saint White Council, Gandalf, the unreliable Hobbit Bilbo, the swordsman Diedi and the Ms. Hammer with one-quarter of the dwarves' blood."

"..." Alson widened his eyes in shock.

One-quarter dwarf blood...how did this be calculated?

Thorin continued: "Apart from Gandalf, there are a total of sixteen people in our team. If we succeed in this operation and regain our Gushan Palace, then each of these sixteen members will be given one-sixteenth of the wealth. Therefore, the commission for swordsman Diedi is one-sixteenth of the wealth of my Gushan Palace."

Alsson frowned slightly, "I once heard that the Gushan Dynasty was the richest dynasty in Middle Earth's history. The oak shield dwarves not only obtained a large amount of precious metals by digging Gushan, but also obtained the heart of a mountain range. It was a priceless treasure."

Thorin smiled and said, "That's right, but the Heart of the Mountains is not within the scope of commission calculation. Commissions only calculate the wealth in circulation."

Alsson breathed a sigh of relief.

If the commission includes the Heart of the Mountains, he can't afford it anyway.

But if it is just circulating wealth... the wealth of Gushan Palace is roughly 30 to 50 million gold coins. Even if it is 50 million gold coins, then divided by one sixteenth, that is, no one can get 3.125 million gold coins.

This commission is really high.

However, the price of outstanding talents is even higher! It is definitely not something that can be measured by tens of millions of gold coins!

Alsson made up his mind and said firmly: "His Highness Solin, I have a request. Can I give Died to me? I can compensate you 3 million gold coins in installments."

Thorin was startled, "What? I heard it right?"

Alsson quickly said: "I know this is not good enough, but the Arno royal family does not have much money. 3 million is my greatest sincerity. Of course, for your expedition, we will provide all feasible conveniences, including opening the Rivendell border, and supplying you with supplies and medicines along the way, etc."

Thorin hurriedly said, "No, Prince Alson, you are afraid you misunderstood me. You must know that we may not be able to enter Gushan alive. Even if we can enter Gushan alive, we may not be able to get wealth alive. And you are giving me 3 million now, which is really surprising to me."

Alsson smiled and said, "To be honest, I admire Died so much. I think it's too wronged and a pity to be a mercenary with such talents. If you are willing to give up, I would be very grateful."

Thorin hesitated immediately.

After all, Alsson is the heir to the Arno royal family and will marry the Kingdom of Gondor in the future. Then the two largest families of the human race will be unified, and the one sandwiched in the middle will be unified.

Although it is not very obvious to this Gushan Expedition, it will be beneficial to the future development without any harm.

only……

Thorin couldn't help but look in Xu Feng.

At this time, Xu Feng was laughing with Tie Hammer, completely unaware that the two princes were competing for his right to belong.

Thorin pursed his lips slightly, "Sorry, Prince Alson, I'm afraid I can't decide this matter alone. So, you can ask the swordsman's meaning. If he is willing to follow you, I can't count him as he betrayed our expedition, and you don't need to compensate me. Just open a convenient door for our expedition."

Alsson's eyes were delighted, "His Royal Highness Solin, you are so grand! I sincerely pay tribute to you! I will talk to Died now!"

As he said that, Alsson bowed quickly and ran to Xu Feng.
Chapter completed!
