From the Arctic Island team’s current position to the Blue Mountains, the total journey was four days instead of the three days mentioned before. On the second day, everyone left the plain and entered a small hilly mountain area, which made the journey easier. The walking time has increased, and from here, it has actually been on the edge of the Blue Mountains. Of course, this is still the territory of the human country. Therefore, the dwarves of the Turin line did not occupy much land here, but they also appeared here. A few inconspicuous dwarf farms. (Starting)

That's right, the dwarves farm the farms on the hillsides. Because of the mountains and hills, the land here is actually not suitable for farming. Therefore, the farming here is not deep and intensive farming, but more like a free-range farming, which directly opens up wasteland and burns the land. Sprinkle the seeds, and then wait until the time comes to harvest. You can imagine how low the harvest rate is, but this is also impossible. One is the technological level of the world, and the other is the terrain constraints here. It is estimated that it can only be done. To this extent.

"Why only cultivated so little land? If the mountain slopes are not enough, the land under the valley is better? And there are downstream streams there. If it is used for irrigation, it can definitely grow good food."

There are endless scenery along the way, and after Chu Hao said the words of the local tyrants and the division of fields, everyone in the Arctic Island team began to pay attention to everything along the way, regardless of the scenery, the terrain, and more. I wanted to see if the dwarves in the Blue Mountains were really like what Chu Hao said.

After seeing the scattered farmland on the hillside, Tom was the first to ask curiously. When he heard his question, the dwarves and Gandalf hadn’t spoken yet, Chu Hao first explained, “Because it’s the hillside that can be cultivated. Ah, one is that this place is still on the territory of the human kingdom, perhaps it can be said to be the border of the human kingdom. Although there is no one here, and no one will say anything about your farming, but when it really provokes conflicts, it may be here. The human kingdom attacked Turin’s dwarves, so it’s better not to develop here as much as possible. Depending on the situation here, it should be a very poor family of dwarves farming here, harvesting food and vegetables, and then selling them in the Blue Mountains."

"Second, Middle-earth has an unwritten rule, or tacit understanding, that the plains are humans, the forests are elves, and the mountain caves are dwarves. Of course, I mean roughly, like the Orcs. Just like dwarves fighting for mountain caves, humans don’t fight for this reason. Mountain slopes are barely considered mountains, but the plains under the valleys are not mountainous. So you can understand why lonely mountains are right. Isn’t it so important to the dwarves? Because there are mountains and vast plains for farming, and there are plenty of water resources for irrigation and drinking. It can be said to be the largest dwarf blessed land in Middle-earth. (Starting

Everyone in the Arctic continent could hear the voice in their minds. This was spoken by the mental power controller, because some words were not so good to speak directly in front of the dwarf, but these few words made everyone understand. To put it simply, I am afraid of disputes. The elves have the power of the forest, the dwarves have the power of the mountains and caves, and the humans have the power of the plains. This is an invisible rule in Middle-earth. If the dwarves enter the human kingdom In the mountains, humans may only regard it as a tribal migration or refuge, but if a group of dwarves enters the human plains and camps, then the uncertainty will lead to war between the two clans.

In the past few days, Chu Hao has also heard some information about the Blue Mountain dwarves from the dwarves. Many of them are attributed to the lawyer Nohan Bis. His three-inch tongue seems to be better than Chu Hao was more suitable for dealing with ordinary people, and many things were revealed in his small talk with those dwarves.

At present, the Blue Mountain Dwarf series, which is the original Turin Dwarf series, is committed to developing the rich mineral resources of the Blue Mountains and forging them into various weapons, tools, etc. required by the human and elves world, as well as A certain reserve of gold and gemstones is used as a source of funds, and at the same time the money obtained from the transaction is used to buy food and various survival supplies. Simply put, it is already a stable dwarf country...if you ignore its future crisis.

In fact, the Blue Mountains is not an uninhabited land. This is the edge of the human kingdom. Of course, it is also possible to say that this is not a human kingdom, but if it is said that it is also a human kingdom, it is also a so-called "between the two." According to the land development efforts of this era, there may be no need to worry about territorial disputes with humans for at least five hundred years.

That is normal, but this world has an invisible prophecy. When the next era comes, the dwarves will avoid deep mountain caves, and the elves will go to the immortal mountains overseas, and then humans will become the masters of the next era. It is a human being. The era of the dwarves, and the Blue Mountains are so close to the human world, once the human era arrives, how will the dwarves deal with themselves? Does it perish like the non-human race that did not evade in the prophecy? Or has it lost all the traditions and culture of the dwarves and become a subspecies of humans? This was the biggest crisis for the Blue Mountain dwarves, and the future Thorin envisioned for them was to take back the Lonely Mountain and the Kingdom under the Mountain, the most famous legendary territory of the dwarf, so that all the problems were solved.

But... the dwarves of the Blue Mountains, or the dwarves who have truly mastered the forces of the Blue Mountains, are they willing to do this?

There is such a detail in the original movie plot that after the dwarves were forced to leave the Lonely Mountain, they tried to reclaim the territories that the dwarves once had. It was a huge underground city that had been abandoned for many years, but it was already occupied by orcs and half-orcs. Occupied, therefore, the dwarves and the beast army fought a big battle, but the result was a tragic victory. This is the plot clearly performed in the movie.

In that battle, the king of the dwarves, Thor, died, and the most orthodox king of the new dwarves, Thorne, the father of Thorin, was missing. Therefore, although Thorin was the prince of the dwarves of Turin, Turin The most direct heir of the dwarf, but he could not justify his accession to the throne, because the real dwarf king should be Thorne, so even now, Thorin is still called the dwarf prince, not the dwarf king, for this reason Because he does not have the power to enthrone, at least until Thorne’s situation is clear, he has no power.

According to the current situation of the Blue Mountains, based on the information Chu Hao obtained from the accompanying dwarves, it can be concluded that there is only one, that is, it is not Thorin who really rules the Blue Mountains, but the nobles of Turin. Together with the elders, they established an organization similar to the Council of Nobles and took charge of almost all the powers of the Blue Mountains. Although Thorin had a high reputation for finding the Blue Mountains, his plan to recover the Lone Mountain could not be implemented. The reason was that That's it, he has a conflict of interest with those who are truly in power in the Blue Mountains.

One is the terrible fire dragon Smaug, which left these nobles with lingering fears, and the other is...this is Chu Hao’s own guess. He never used the darkest mentality to guess other people. Those dwarf nobles didn’t want to lose the power in their hands. Because once Thorin recaptured the lone mountain and got the symbol of the dwarf king of Turin, the gem of the heart of the mountain, then even if Thorne has disappeared, he still has enough reason, power, prestige, and reasonableness to ascend the throne. Being king, this world respects kingship very much. At that time, Thorin justly regained the power of the Turin line, and they had nothing to do.

It is precisely because of this kind of speculation and the end of intelligence that Chu Hao made such a judgment... The Turin dwarves of the Blue Mountains, it is impossible for them to agree to Thorin's expedition plan. Because of this, Thorin is only a mere ten. Come along with the dwarf.

But this is not unsolvable!

The reason why Chu Hao had to go to the Blue Mountain to take a look was because he already had a solution to the Blue Mountain nobles...that was the supremacy of kingship!

Yes, in Middle-earth, this is a kingdom of supremacy. This is true for dwarves, elves, and humans. Whether it is the prequel to the Lord of the Rings or the Lord of the Rings trilogy, many things in it undoubtedly show this. The supremacy of the king, perhaps Chu Hao called on the dwarves and poor people to oppose the nobles out of thin air, asking them to overthrow the nobles, beat the local tyrants, divide the fields, and even without the nobles, those poor people may tear him apart, let alone the elves, humans, and The wizards who wandered through the Middle-earth Continent would regard them as enemies. At that time, Chu Hao would be unable to do anything. In fact, even the dark forces might regard them as their greatest enemy, because he was overthrowing the world. Order basis~lightnovelpub.net~ But what if we change the method...

When the nobility and the kingship are in opposition, Thorin, who has a high reputation, the ordinary people of the Turin dwarves, the poor, and even the dwarf warriors, soldiers, their choice... is the noble who oppresses them, after all, Or the royal family that brings them glory and future? There is almost no choice...

As Chu Hao said before, Thorin is responsible for the nobles. He cannot call on his people to overthrow the nobles, because this completely destroys his ruling foundation and even makes other dwarven clans hostile. He, but Chu Hao does not have such a psychological burden. In fact, if the Turin dwarves are hostile and isolated by other dwarf clans, this may be more in line with him, because only when the Turin dwarves have no retreat, Then his rugged road is their only choice. They will fight against the Samsara team desperately for him, instead of abandoning the Arctic team and let the Turin dwarves get more benefits... …

So when the team came to the Blue Mountain Territory, the dozens of dwarf nobles who were greeted saw Thorin and his team, and after their indifferent performance, Thorin and the dwarves who followed him looked cold and handsome, and so did Gandalf. With a calm face, only Chu Hao...

Smiled faintly...
