Riverdale City.

In the camp of Rivendell.

At this time, Gao Yuan and others were sitting in front of the bonfire in the camp, each holding a skewer in their hands.

Yawen nestled in Gao Yuan's arms and played with his Adam's apple with her fingertips.

Gao Yuan took off the roasted corn that was skewered on the Evening Star Blade.

Break off the corn kernels one by one and gently feed them into Yawen's delicate lips.

The other three people ate the kebabs in their hands and felt very uncomfortable looking at the scene in front of them.

"I suppose it's been a long time since we've sat around a campfire like this, hasn't it?" Gandalf tried to break the awkward atmosphere.

Gao Yuan then raised his head and looked at the three single dogs who looked embarrassed.

"Indeed, after we parted ways in Rivendell, we haven't been together in front of a campfire for a long time. It would be better if Bilbo was here. He can always take out delicious condiments from his backpack."

Gao Yuan began to miss those days living with them in the wild.

Little did they know that Bilbo, who had been away from the Lonely Mountain for more than two hours, had already touched the camp where they were.

Wearing the magic ring in his hand, he evaded one elven patrol after another, as well as secret sentries, and no one noticed his arrival.

He shuttled through the streets of Riverdale City and finally found the location of Gao Yuan and others. He was delighted to find that Gao Yuan and Gandalf were sitting together in front of a bonfire.

He happened to hear Gao Yuan mentioning himself to Gandalf.

It's a pity that he didn't bring his condiments with him this time.

Bilbo decided to give them a surprise. He quietly hid in the stone pillar behind Gao Yuan and took off the Supreme Lord of the Rings in his hand.

Just when Gandalf was still trying to say something to break the awkward atmosphere.

But Bilbo suddenly jumped out from behind the stone pillar and shouted: "I heard someone mention your Snitch."

Everyone gathered in front of the bonfire was startled by Bilbo who suddenly jumped out. Arwen was so frightened that she jumped out of Gao Yuan's arms and hit Gao Yuan on the chin.

"Bilbo Baggins! You damn snitch, you almost scared my heart out!" Gandalf was frightened by Bilbo and yelled.

Gao Yuan held his chin in pain and had to comfort Yawen who hit his head. You must know that Gao Yuan's body had been baptized by dragon blood at this time.

Yawen's head hit Gao Yuan's chin, as if it hit a hard rock.

"Bilbo, if you jump out like this next time, I will have to tie a bell around your neck." Gao Yuan said angrily.

Bilbo didn't take the complaints of his two old friends to heart, but looked at Gandalf with a smile: "Long time no see, Gandalf."

"It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Baggins. It seems that you have grown up a lot." Gandalf smiled and took out his pipe, handed it to Bilbo and asked if he wanted to take a sip. "Would you like to take a sip?"

, the finest pipe grass from the Shire.”

Bilbo shook his head. He was not in the habit of smoking a pipe that had been smoked by others.

"Bilbo, why do you suddenly appear here? I think you should stay in the Lonely Mountain for now." Gandalf asked.

After Gandalf's reminder, Bilbo finally remembered the purpose of his trip to Riverdale City.

He looked at Gao Yuan who was still gently squeezing Yawen's head.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, I think the gem I gave you should still be on your body at this time, right?" Bilbo asked.

Gandalf frowned: "What gem?"

"It's the Arken gem that Thorin cherishes so much. Before leaving the Lonely Mountain, Bilbo handed it into my hands." Gao Yuan rolled his eyes at Bilbo and answered Gandalf's question.

He reached into his arms and took out the gem that shone with bright starlight.

"I have always kept it safe. Although I almost lost it when I killed the evil dragon, Mr. Bard, our man who found a lot of money, returned the gem to me." Gao Yuan glanced at the man sitting aside and said nothing.

Haired Bud.

Seeing Gao Yuan take out the Arken gemstone from his arms, everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a beautiful gemstone.

"What are you going to do with this gem, Bilbo?" Gandalf asked curiously.

Bilbo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I want to end this meaningless dispute as soon as possible. I want to talk to the king of the woodland."

When Gandalf heard this, he already understood what Bilbo wanted to do. He patted Bilbo on the back and said, "Well done, Bilbo!"

"No, I mean, you made a right choice. It seems that this trip has indeed made you grow a lot."

In this way, Gao Yuan and others returned to Thranduil's golden tent again, but this time there were more hobbits.

"That's it, I'm tired of this journey. I think this journey is over after the evil dragon in the lonely mountain was killed by Mr. Gao Yuan. I hope to end it all as soon as possible and return to

I’m at home in the West.”

Bilbo stood in front of Thranduil and talked. This was a rare highlight moment in his life. Everyone present was a big boss, and they were all waiting quietly for the end of his speech.

"According to my contract with Thorin, I own one-fifteenth of the Lonely Mountain's treasure, and I still keep this contract with me."

As he spoke, Bilbo took out the contract he signed with Thorin in Bag End in May of this year from his jacket pocket.

At this time, the contract has been crumpled, but it does not affect everyone's ability to clearly see the terms above. Gao Yuan also has a similar contract.

"Please note that what is marked here is one-fifteenth of the net profit." Bilbo continued, "I hope that this one-fifteenth of the net profit can be used to make up for those who have suffered because of the evil dragon.

The residents of Changhu Town, and the white gemstone necklace I gave you in exchange for it, His Majesty the Elf King."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course, I will also need a small part of it myself as the real reward for my journey." Of course, Bilbo cannot take it all at once.

He handed over everything he deserved, and he also had a little bit of selfishness.

"However, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get the rewards that belong to me at this moment. I'm afraid you don't know Thorin Oakenshield as well as I do. As long as you stay here, he will not take out those treasures. He would rather sit

Starving on those mountains of gold and silver."

"He will never compromise. If you want to get his treasure, you must step over his corpse and that of other dwarves." Bilbo has been by Thorin's side in recent days. Thorin is obsessed with the treasure.

, he couldn’t understand it better.

"It won't come to that point." Bud said, "We respect Mr. Gao Yuan's wishes and will not kill them directly, but they can't win this battle, and their food won't last long."

"You are right, Thorin and the others cannot hold on for long." Bilbo said, "But Thorin also has his own plan, and he is not a fool."

"Winter has arrived. I believe that your supplies have become very difficult. Everyone here is no exception. I wonder if you have heard of the names of Dyne Ironfoot and the dwarves of Iron Hills?" Bilbo looked at

Asked everyone.

"I heard this name a long time ago, but what do the dwarves of the Iron Hills have to do with our supplies?" Thranduil asked.

"The information I brought you is something you don't know. At Thorin's request, Dyne Ironfoot has led more than two thousand dwarves from the Iron Hills to the Lonely Mountain to support them. At this time, they are already far away from the Lonely Mountain.

It's less than two days' journey." Bilbo said proudly, and he was happy to see the surprised expression on the Elf King's face.

"Many of them are elite soldiers who participated in the battle with the Orcs in Moria. They will block your supply lines, so you won't be able to hold on for too long."

When Thranduil heard this, he immediately became furious. He slapped the armrest of the bench beneath him, breaking the armrest into pieces.

"How dare he! We kept our promise not to enter Gushan to rob, but they want to kill us."

Thranduil roared angrily, and then he looked at Gao Yuan who was standing behind Bilbo.

"It's not that we broke our promise first, Mr. Gao Yuan, but that the dwarves have threatened our safety."

"Starting tomorrow, we will launch an attack on the Lonely Mountain, and then we will go back to fight the dwarves of the Iron Hills!"

Thranduil had decided not to abide by their agreement with Gao Yuan. After learning the news about Dane Ironfoot, they and the dwarves had completely fallen out.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to fight Gao Yuan and the elves of Rivendell under his command, and also wanted to kill the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain.

"King of the Woodland, please don't be so impatient! I have never met anyone as impatient as you." Bilbo stopped explaining in a soft voice and shouted towards Thranduil.

Thranduil took a deep breath and tried to calm down. For a moment, the Elf King's anger really calmed Bilbo down.

"I came here late at night this time to solve this series of troubles." Seeing that the Elf King had died down, Bilbo continued.

"What are you going to do?" Thranduil asked.

Bilbo looked at Gao Yuan who was standing behind him. Gao Yuan understood what he meant and took out the Arken gem from his arms and placed it on the wooden table in front of everyone.

The Elf King has lived for an unknown number of years. He has seen all kinds of priceless treasures, but when Gao Yuan took out the Aken gem, he still couldn't restrain his excitement.

Thranduil suddenly stood up and stared at the gem on the table.

Even Bard, who had just seen this gem, couldn't help but want to take another look at the Arken Gem.

This is a ball that seems to be filled with moonlight, wrapped in a net woven by starlight.

"This is the heirloom diamond left by Thorne." Bilbo said: "The Heart of the Mountain - the Arken Stone."

"This is also the treasure that Thorin has been dreaming about. He values ​​this more than those mountains of gold and silver." Bilbo continued, "I put this gem in your hands, which will make you happy in the future."

I have a great advantage in negotiations and can use it to exchange for my share of the treasure."

Bard was shocked that Bilbo handed the Arken Stone into their hands so easily.

"Can you decide the ownership of this gem?" Bard finally managed to squeeze out the question.

"So you are worried about this!" Bilbo smiled slightly, "It is true that the ownership of this gem should not be decided by me, but it is one of the transaction conditions agreed in the contract signed between me and Thorin."

"According to the conditions of the contract, I will use the Aken gem in exchange for my due reward, one-fifteenth of the Gushan treasure share."
