"You stole my things and used them as your reward..." Thorin kept sneering.

"Your reward...."

Thorin pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Bilbo: "You have no right to ask me for reward, you despicable thief!"

Bilbo also wanted to try to explain to Thorin.

"I originally wanted to give it to you. I was ready to give it to you many times, but..."

"But, you have changed. Thorin, you have completely changed since you entered the Lonely Mountain."

"The dwarf I met in Bag End would never doubt the loyalty of his people because of a gem. When you put a battle armor on every dwarf in the arsenal, you are actually searching them.

"

Bilbo directly exposed Thorin's dirty work that night in the arsenal.

"Because you suspected that they hid your gems secretly! You even suspected me, and you forced me to take out my own things from my pocket!"

As soon as Bilbo said this, all the dwarves were in an uproar. They all looked at Thorin who was confronting Bilbo with strange eyes.

However, Thorin didn't care about this at all at this moment. He was so angry that he wanted to throw Bilbo off the city wall.

"Don't talk to me about loyalty now." Thorin gritted his teeth and said.

"Throw this damn thief off the city wall!"

Thorin issued orders to the surrounding dwarves, but they were unmoved. They were extremely disappointed with Thorin at this moment.

Especially after Bilbo exposed his dirty behavior of searching the dwarves.

Thorin grabbed his nephew Fili and wanted him to take action.

But Fili managed to break free from his grasp.

"If you are not willing to take action, then let me do it myself!" Thorin rushed straight to Bilbo.

"Stop! Thorin Oakenshield!" Just when Thorin grabbed Bilbo by the collar and was about to throw him off the city wall, a shout came from below the city wall, stopping Thorin's behavior.

"Do you remember the promise I made to you and Gandalf in Bag End?" Gao Yuan said loudly.

In case Thorin had forgotten, Gao Yuan also reminded him thoughtfully: "During this journey, I will ensure the safety of Mr. Bilbo Baggins until he returns to his Bag End at the end of the journey.

"

"If you have any objections to me and Gandalf, the chosen snitch, please come to us and don't hurt our hobbits." Gao Yuan looked at the old man hiding under his cloak.

The old man lifted the hood on his head and revealed his face. It was Gandalf who had disappeared for a long time.

"Actually, the Arken Stone has always been with me. Although Bilbo found it, it has always been in my hands. Bilbo gave the Arken Stone to Bard and the others with my consent.

"Gao Yuan is ready to take the responsibility on himself.

"You know, no one can take it away from me without my permission!" Gao Yuan continued, "I myself very much agree with Bilbo's approach."

What Gao Yuan said made Thorin stunned.

Since leaving Rivendell, the person Thorin trusted the most was Gao Yuan, but at this moment he chose the same approach as Bilbo.

This made him doubt for the first time whether he had really done something wrong.

"You are all colluding!" Thorin's heart was already a little shaken. "I will never deal with mages, thieves of the Shire or rangers in the future."

"Now there is a perfect solution, isn't it? Mr. Baggins is willing to use his share of the contract to compensate the king and the residents of Lake Town, and you will also get the Arken Stone.

This is very fair!" Gao Yuan continued to persuade.

"Gao Yuan! You're right, it's fair." Thorin said solemnly.

"But I was betrayed! You took advantage of my weakness. I can't let the family heirloom diamond fall into the hands of outsiders. In exchange for the gem, I am willing to pay one-fifteenth of the value of the gem in addition to the gem itself.

Come and exchange for this treasure."

In the end, Thorin made a choice between the diamond and one-fifteenth of the treasure.

"That is, the share that the traitor said he deserved. Now it is all yours. You can distribute it freely. Including Gao Yuan's share, I will give it to you in no small amount because you helped us kill that

An evil dragon."

"But from now on, there will be no friendship between us!"

Thorin completely let go of Bilbo's collar and said to him who was still in shock: "Go down and find your friends, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help but shoot you with a bow and arrow!"

With the help of other dwarves, Bilbo climbed tremblingly along the rope to the bottom of the city wall. With the help of Gao Yuan's telepathy, he soon reached the ground safely and came to Gao Yuan's side.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus in this negotiation!" Bard shouted, "Use the treasures we deserve in exchange for your Arken gems."

"Yes, you won, we have reached an agreement, and I will find a way to give you the treasure!" Thorin kept pacing on the city wall, and when faced with Bard's question, he replied hysterically.

"Until we receive the treasure we deserve, the Arken gem will stay with us," Bard nodded with satisfaction, and a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.

There is no need to start a war with the dwarves. From their side, this incident has come to a perfect end.

"We will come here again tomorrow." Bud said: "That is the deadline given to you to confirm whether you have produced an equivalent amount of treasure sufficient to exchange for this gem."

"If you don't play tricks, you will get your heirloom diamond, we will leave, and the elf troops will return to the forest. We will leave first!"

After saying that, the coalition of humans and the Woodland Kingdom turned around and evacuated from the gate of Lonely Mountain and returned to the camp in River Valley City.

"betray..."

"Fair...tomorrow, Silmarillion..." After the coalition forces, Gao Yuan and others left, Thorin began to whisper nonsense on the city wall.

No one knew what he was talking about. Balin thought Thorin had gone completely crazy. Kili and Fili wanted to step forward to comfort their uncle, but Thorin pushed them away.

Thorin was not willing to hand over the treasures so simply, even though this was originally the reward promised to Bilbo, and he could also exchange for his family heirloom diamond.

His obsession with the treasure made him start to think again in his mind, whether he could rely on the help of Dyne Ironfoot to take back the Arken Stone from the hands of the coalition forces without spending a penny.

The goal at this time is no longer to block the coalition's supply line. The gem is in their hands, which is meaningless. His current goal is to take the gem back from the hands of the coalition.

So Thorin secretly found the raven Roark at night, and took the opportunity to secretly send a messenger to inform Dain to come quickly with his troops day and night.

The day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Bard and Thranduil led the coalition forces to the gate of the Lonely Mountain again.

Also traveling with them were Plateau, Bilbo and others, who brought the Arken gems and were waiting for Thorin to fulfill yesterday's promise.

Thorin and others also came to the city wall, but he still failed to take out the treasures as promised yesterday.

I just kept staring at the location of the southeast branch of Gushan.

Bard stepped forward and asked Thorin if he was ready to deliver the gold he promised yesterday.

Thorin replied to them like this: "This diamond belongs to my father, and it should be inherited by me! Why should I exchange gold for my treasure?"

Thranduil was not surprised at all by Thorin's remorse. He looked indifferent and pretended to talk to Bard.

"Then let's keep the Arken Stone and sell it. The ruling prime minister of Gondor will definitely be willing to pay a good price."

"At least it won't be less than the dwarves!"

Thranduil's words completely angered Thorin. He actually said in such an understatement that he wanted to sell his family's heirloom diamond, and also sell it to other people.

"I'm going to kill you!" Thorin was completely in a state of madness. He yelled angrily, "I swear to kill you all!"

Thranduil sneered, and then retorted: "Your oath is worthless."

"How did you promise us yesterday?" Thranduil asked.

When the promise was mentioned, Thorin became even more furious.

How dare he...

Mention the commitment in front of yourself.

"You still have the nerve to say to me, have you forgotten how you treated my grandfather and the dwarves? Have you forgotten how you betrayed your trust in the dungeon of your kingdom?"
