Chapter 173

Lonely mountain.

Deep in the dwarf kingdom of erebo.

Weapon forging and training area.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

The lava fire in the forging pool glowed red around, and the sound of metal knocking and hammering was heard.

A large number of dwarves are standing side by side in front of the huge iron felt arranged in order, waving their iron hammers and sharp hammers to beat various armor weapons in front of them, sweating and waving like rain.

There is a large forging area for weapons and equipment.

The whole forging area is subdivided into several areas. For example, the newly excavated iron ore needs to be refined into pig iron area, and the forging of pig iron into formed steel is another area.

Steel is then required to be forged into semi-formed areas such as weapons or armor.

Finally, the most important weapon armor is formed, polished and finally produced in the production area.

At this time, it is in the final production area.

Four dwarven forgers with the most exquisite skills in Gushan are busy around a huge iron felt platform.

In the center of the huge iron felt, what makes the four forgers busy is a dark red exquisite scale armor that is about to be formed.

When the last palm sized scales of crimson scale armor are successfully connected together.

Looking at the exquisite, thick and majestic crimson dragon scale armor in front of me.

The Four Dwarf forgers were relieved.

There was also a smile on his face.

It's been ten years.

Since these dragon scales were brought to the forging area ten years ago.

It has been ten years since King SOLIN oak shield began to try to forge.

In the past ten years, only these forgers knew that these materials were extremely hard, but they were completely different from the forging difficulty of steel dragon scales.

The continuous cracking at the beginning makes it impossible to forge.

To slowly adjust the fire temperature of the refining furnace until the special refining furnace is finally built separately to forge these dragon scales.

I began to see the hope of forging these dragon scales.

Until now.

Even though it has gone through countless difficulties and hardships, it is worth forging such a unique dragon scale armor forged from giant dragon scales in the world.

Because it is extremely precious and difficult to forge such armor.

Let the four dwarven forgers, who were originally very skilled, significantly improve their achievements and abilities in forging.

This is also the main reason why they have never given up trying to forge for ten years.

Despite the king's orders, the best catalyst is his desire to forge from the bottom of his heart.

Let the four forgers make every effort to forge.

This forged the unique, precious and hard dragon scale armor in the whole Middle Earth world.

Oh, it's not just this suit of armor.

There is also a short sword, which is also the only dark red sword in the world.

It was also sent with dragon scales ten years ago.

However, the forging material of the short sword comes from the horns on the head of the evil dragon Shi Maoge.

Two horns were sent.

But one of them broke because of exercise failure.

There is only one successful forging.

"Go and inform the king!"

The head of the whole equipment forging drill area, a stocky old dwarf, commanded the dwarf standing aside.

"Yes..."

Soon, a dwarf stepped out of the drill area and walked towards the top of the kingdom.

Not long.

SOLIN oak shield, the king at the foot of the mountain in a luxurious robe, came to the drill area with Balin, a dwarf with white beard and hair and an increasingly old face, and his nephew Qili.

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..."

When the king arrived, the dwarf forgers saluted respectfully.

SOLIN oak shield walked into the drill area. At first sight, he saw the dark red eye-catching armor, two leg armor on the huge iron felt platform not far away, and the sword body also placed next to the armor, showing an extremely rare dark red sharp short sword.

"Is that all?"

SOLIN oak shield asked when he came to the huge iron felt platform.

"Yes, it's all here."

The highest ranking stocky dwarf forger nodded.

Hearing each other's words, SOLIN oak shield couldn't help reaching out and touching the crimson dragon scale armor with extremely exquisite shape in front of him.

Feel the cold and smooth touch on the scales.

SOLIN oak shield couldn't help sighing.

Ten years ago, when my good friend Morgan handed over the scales of the Dragon smog to himself.

I vowed that it would only take a year to forge those scales into the armor Morgan wanted.

But I totally underestimated the forging difficulty of those dragon scales.

The results can be imagined.

Morgan came again and again, but he couldn't see the armor forged.

So that I don't ask anymore.

This matter made SOLIN oak shield feel like a lump in his throat.

Many people know how much Morgan's help and friendship to himself and the whole newborn erebo kingdom.

But the other party almost never asked for anything.

The only request was this immediate matter.

Fortunately, now the forging is successful.

Even if it took a whole decade.

"Qili, send a message to the dark forest and tell Morgan that the weapons and armor have been forged."

SOLIN oak shield stroked the armor in front of him, turned his head and looked at the dwarf Qili behind him.

Qili nodded and was ready to leave.

Bahrain suddenly said, "Morgan should not be in the dark forest at this time. Just send ravens to fly to shire."

When the voice fell, SOLIN oak shield looked at Bahrain in doubt. Qili also stopped and turned around.

Bahrain continued: "last year I received a message from Bilbo that he would hold his 111th birthday celebration in shire this autumn and invite our old friends to attend."

"But in such a tense situation, we can't leave at all."

"So I turned down Bilbo, but I didn't tell you."

"But we can't leave. Morgan will go."

"It's not far from autumn now."

"Morgan must be on his way to the shire at this time. If he started early, he might have arrived."

"We'll inform Morgan and send Ravens directly to shire."

Bahrain said without delay.

SOLIN oak shield nodded and looked at Qili: "then send the news directly to shire."

Qili soon left the equipment forging area.

Bahrain went to Sorin oak shield and looked at the exquisite, thick and powerful crimson scale in front of him. He couldn't help exclaiming, "it's so beautiful. It's just a work of art."

Sorin oak shield said easily, "yes, I can finally explain to Morgan."

......

Summer night.

The stars twinkled.

Shire, habitun.

In a well decorated bag bottom hole.

The lights are on now.

On the long table in the living room.

Old Bilbo and Gandalf sat at a long table with a beautiful and handsome young hobbit with brown hair.

"Gandalf, thank you for coming to my birthday party."

Bilbo looked at Gandalf, raised his glass and smiled. His wrinkled face smiled brightly. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

"Of course, we agreed."

Gandalf smiled, raised his glass, touched Bilbo and drank it.

Then he wiped the low wine stain on his beard and said, "when will the birthday party be held?"

Bilbo put down his glass and said, "the night after tomorrow."

"There will be a huge banquet and all the people of habitun will come."

Bilbo said with a smile.

"Yes, all men, women and children will come."

"We invited a whole habitun."

The handsome young hobbit on one side also answered with a smile.

"It must be lively the day after tomorrow."

Gandalf smiled and took out the cigarette rod.

"Of course."

"It hasn't been lively for a long time. It's time to be lively."

Bilbo smiled and nodded, with some emotion in his voice, as if he remembered something.

"You're here, too. It's Morgan now."

Bilbo recovered, got up and poured Gandalf another glass full of fruit wine.

"Don't worry, although Morgan is always late."

"But this is Bilbo's birthday. He won't be late."

"I must be on my way here now."

Gandalf puffed out smoke, took a drink from his front glass and said with a smile.

The voice fell.

At this time,

"Bang Bang..."

Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door.

Bilbo and Gandalf's eyes lit up.

"I'll open the door."

Said the young hobbit, getting up and running towards the gate.

Soon, the young hobbit who came to the gate opened the door.

I saw a tall and handsome human man standing in front of the gate with a white horse.

The young hobbit immediately stared at the human man and said with a smile, "Uncle Morgan, you're here at last."

"We just mentioned you..."

"Long time no see, Frodo."

Looking at the excited and happy young hobbit in front of him, Morgan smiled.

The young and beautiful hobbit in front of us is naturally Frodo Baggins.

As the adopted son of Bilbo Baggins, he is also Bilbo's successor.

Frodo will inherit everything from Bilbo, including the supreme ring.

He is the "ring bearer" who went to moldo with the ring in Morgan's memory plot, and he is also the most important and key figure in the future memory plot.

"Bilbo, uncle Morgan is here."

Frodo immediately shouted to Bilbo in the living room.

Then he took Morgan's reins enthusiastically and led the white horse out.

Morgan lowered his head and went into the hole at the bottom of the bag.

He saw Bilbo coming out of the hole at the bottom of the bag, followed by Gandalf.

"Morgan..."

Watching Morgan's figure appear in the hall, bill immediately shouted and ran to Morgan like a child.

”Bilbo... "

Morgan smiled and immediately bent down on the ground, opened his hands, hugged the happy old Bilbo and whispered, "happy birthday, Bilbo."

"Thank you, thank you, Morgan..."

"I'm so glad to see you."

Bilbo said with a wrinkled smile.

Soon, after a brief greeting.

The three soon came to the long table.

Bilbo hurriedly added a set of tableware.

He slowly poured Morgan a glass of fruit wine as the master.

Morgan picked up his glass and finished in one breath.

He took a long breath.

I just feel relaxed.

"I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, Morgan."

Gandalf looked at him with a cigarette pole in his mouth and laughed.

Morgan heard Gandalf's words and immediately said with a smile, "it's okay to be late in the past."

"But this is Bilbo's birthday party. You can't be late."

Morgan picked up his glass and poured himself a full glass of wine. He continued to laugh and say, "this time I started four months ago."

"So punctual this time, it seems that Morgan is late for his experience..."

"Ha ha..."

Bilbo's slightly odd opening immediately made everyone laugh.

"Well, it's been a long time since we last met?"

Morgan raised his glass and touched them.

"It's been almost ten years."

Gandalf finished the wine in the glass and said with emotion.

Bilbo put down his glass and was about to speak when he suddenly hiccupped.

Morgan and Gandalf immediately laughed.

"Ten years, a long time."

"At that time, my Evelyn and Ulysses were not born."

Morgan sighed.

He really hasn't been to shire for a long time.

Especially after tarrell gave birth to two children, Morgan, who was already home, walked less outside.

Not to mention the shire so far away.

When Morgan's voice fell, Bill Bolton stared at Morgan and said in surprise, "do you have a child with tarrell?"

"Or two?"

Morgan nodded and said with a smile, "both of them are seven years old. This time, I'll just tell you."

Hearing Morgan's words, Bilbo immediately said, "you should have said it earlier, or I'll go and have a look."

"I really want to see what Morgan's children look like."

"It's also a good time to meet SOLIN and Balin bofo of the lonely mountain."

"I've always wanted to see the towering mountains lately."

Bilbo smiled and complained. Looking aside, Gandalf, who seemed not surprised, immediately asked, "Gandalf, do you already know that Morgan has children?"

"Gandalf doesn't just know. He's seen it all."

"Just last year."

Morgan cut a piece of cheese with a knife and fork and put it into the import, laughing.

"Well, Morgan's two children are very cute."

Facing Bilbo's eyes, Gandalf nodded, smoked and smiled.

"Listen to Gandalf."

"I'd rather see you."

"I've already figured out a gift for the children, Morgan."

Bilbo said, looking at Morgan.

"There will be a chance."

Morgan kept knives and forks in his hand and kept stuffing food into his mouth, laughing.

At this time, Frodo opened the door from the outside, walked quickly to the living room with a black raven in his hand, and shouted, "Bilbo, is this the Raven you told me about?"

Frodo walked into the living room happily holding the Raven.

The three talking and laughing people at the long table turned their heads and immediately recognized Frodo's blackbird.

"Yes, this is the Raven."

"Just how can there be Ravens here?"

Gandalf reacted the most. He immediately got up and went to Frodo to pick up the Raven. The Raven stood on Gandalf's hand and whispered a few times.

Gandalf immediately smiled, looked at Frodo and said, "get him something to eat first."

The Raven naturally understood Gandalf's words and immediately flew to Frodo's shoulder.

Frodo looked at the novelty and immediately went to prepare food for the Raven.

In the living room, Gandalf returned to work and looked at Morgan, who was eating all the time. He smiled and said, "SOLIN said that the armor and weapons you asked him to forge have been forged."

"Ask when you are free to pick it up."

Morgan was stunned when he heard Gandalf's words. He quickly reacted and his face was immediately full of surprises.

Ten years.

Ten years ago, he gave SOLIN oak shield all the Dragon scales and two dragon horns he had picked off from the giant dragon smog.

Let him help forge it into armor and weapons.

SOLIN oak shield is sure to be forged in a year.

I didn't expect this to be ten years.

He was a little hopeless.

Because he learned from the dwarf Balin that it was very difficult to forge the scales on smog, and the two dragon horns were more difficult.

I didn't expect today ten years later.

Morgan finally waited for a surprise.
