"So it's a pleasure to work together." Gandalf didn't think about it for too long and said with a smile.
Because he knew that if he continued to argue, he would most likely get Chu Xin's rejection and disgust. Being able to win a relatively good-faith cooperative relationship now was a rare and important step.
This matter should not be rushed for quick success. It will not be too late to discuss it in detail after we have in-depth exchanges in the future.
Gandalf also thought about using force to seize the Supreme Lord of the Rings, but after weighing the pros and cons, combined with what he saw and heard, he finally chose to trust the transformed and reborn "Smaug".
For him, it is undoubtedly a big gamble. Perhaps Aragorn will understand it, but most people in the world will find it unreasonable.
Of course, Gandalf is not willing to have a fierce conflict with Chu Xin at the moment. Doing so will inevitably allow Sauron's dark forces to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
Lun returns to Middle-earth.
"Since it's already a cooperative relationship, then fulfill your promise, Gandalf." Chu Xin said.
"Oh~ I didn't expect that your Excellency would ask me for help so soon?" Gandalf smiled happily.
"Is your reputation as a courtesan in China a waste of time?" Chu Xin asked.
"I'm curious, what's the problem that you can't solve?" Gandalf also asked.
Chu Xin raised his head and looked around. Two thousand skeleton soldiers were naked, and the weapons in their hands were completely scrapped after the battle last night. If they were touched with a little force, they would be broken into pieces.
"They need sophisticated equipment, and the products produced by the dwarves are undeniably the best in Middle-earth." Chu Xin said, and his meaning was very clear.
Gandalf understood immediately and couldn't help but feel a headache, "Let's not mention how much money two thousand sets of high-quality equipment will cost. The most difficult thing is you yourself. No wonder you asked me to help."
The hatred between Smaug and the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain is well known, and it is completely unending.
Even though Smaug is dead, the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain have never let go of their resentment. Although most of the people who witnessed it have died, the tragic invasion has been recorded and spread.
As the spirit of Chu passed through the dragon and reappeared with great fanfare, the Gushan and River Valley states, after experiencing the initial panic, started making arrangements non-stop, especially the dwarves. Under the order of King Ironfoot Dyne, they restarted the ancient times.
He cast the drawings and began to make giant dragon-slaying weapons.
A long time ago, the giant equipment produced by the dwarves actually killed the dragon!
In fact, as long as it is a weapon with an armor-breaking ability comparable to that of a black arrow, it is possible to kill Smaug, such as the elves who are also good at forging, or the enchanted spear and crossbow.
In the movie, it is said that the black arrow is the only thing that can kill Smaug. It should be based on the plot environment and characters at the time. Looking at the entire Middle-earth and even Aman, there are definitely many ways to kill dragons.
"These are not things I should consider, Gandalf, you should be full of confidence in your personality and wisdom." Chu Xin said.
This matter really cannot be accomplished by strong strength. After all, the dwarves are notoriously stubborn, short-sighted, reckless, brainless, vulgar and rude, which seem to be adjectives tailor-made for them.
If Chu Xin forced them to build equipment for him, without even thinking about it, those barbarians would definitely start a war without hesitation, regardless of how many casualties their side would suffer, they would just follow their hearts and emotions and do it without saying a word.
With Smaug's identity, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to get them to surrender.
In that case, Chu Xin would have no choice but to kill them all, but it would be a pity for the dwarfs' superb forging skills.
Therefore, Chu Xin thought of Gandalf, who had a close relationship with the dwarves.
In Bilbo's time, the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain who had been devastated by Smaug were able to rise again, and Gandalf made a huge contribution.
"For the sake of the overall situation of Middle-earth, I will give it a try, but as I said in advance, I am not 100% sure about this matter," Gandalf thought helplessly, "Besides, dwarves' things are not cheap, and I don't have that much.
The money is paid for you."
"You don't need to worry about this." Chu Xin opened his mouth and pointed at the ground.
The next second.
Whoa whoosh!
Golden torrents poured out from the hollow mouth, colliding with each other to produce a crisp and sweet sound.
I saw the round and smooth gold coins piled up into a mountain in an instant, spraying out dazzling waves of pure gold under the sunlight.
Soon, the pure gold coins engraved with the skeletal dragon and the map took up a large area under the body, giving the collapsed castle a noble gauze.
Ding~ding~
Many scattered gold coins rolled down the hillside, interpreting the term "rich enough".
This scene stunned all the skeleton soldiers. They never expected that Chu Xin, who was so poor that only his skeleton was left, could hide his secrets.
"About hundreds of thousands, right? I don't know the details." Chu Xin said casually.
Not hundreds of thousands of one-yuan yuan, but a very heavy pure gold currency.
These are all from [Infinite Gold Coins], one-fifth comes from the previous actual combat simulation with the Skeleton Army, and the rest all come from the fierce battle with the nine Ringwraiths last night.
Sure enough, as long as the enemy is stronger, the battle is more intense, and the battle situation is more complex, the efficiency of unlimited gold coins will be higher, and the gold coins will be automatically stored in a special space, and once taken out, they cannot be put back.
"I almost forgot. Although you are a bit special, you are still essentially a dragon. It is normal to have some private money." Gandalf shook his head and said.
He said this, but the shock deep in his eyes still did not dissipate.
As a well-informed gray robe wizard, Gandalf was not moved by the mountain of gold. What really made him frown was the way Chu Xin vomited out the gold coins.
You know, this is a dragon with bones that can be seen from top to bottom!
Where are such a huge number of gold coins stored?
"How did he do it? What happened to him~" Gandalf's heart was full of doubts.
From the current point of view, combined with the incredible circumstances such as the fire-breathing bones, mysterious invisible attacks, complete immunity to the Supreme Lord of the Rings, etc., he finally came to a conclusion: this dragon must be able to do magic!
And it’s still at an extraordinary level, probably close to the level of a god!
