Dawn Infinity Chapter 17: ：Ruyi

From the current location of the Arctic Island team to the Blue Mountains, the total journey time is four days, not the three days mentioned before. On the second day, everyone left the plain and entered a small hilly mountain area. The travel time of the journey has been increased, and from here, it is actually the edge of the Blue Mountains. Of course, this is still the territory of the human country, so the dwarves of Turin did not occupy the land here. However, here There are also a few inconspicuous dwarven farms. (first release)

That's right, the dwarves cultivate the farms on the hillside. Because of the mountains and hills, the land here is actually not suitable for cultivation, so the cultivation here is not deep and intensive cultivation, but more like a free-range cultivation. Open up wasteland and burn the land to sow seeds, and then wait until the time comes to harvest. It is conceivable how low the harvest rate is, but there is no way, one is the level of technology in this world, and the other is the terrain constraints here. It can only do so much.

"Why so little land is cultivated? If there is not enough land on the hillside, the land under the valley is better, right? And there is a stream running down 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 about beating the local tyrants and dividing the fields, everyone in the Beibingzhou team began to pay attention to everything along the way, no matter the scenery or the terrain, It was more to see if the dwarves in Blue Mountain were really as Chu Hao said.

After seeing the scattered cultivated land on the hillside here, Tom asked curiously first, and when he heard his question, before the dwarves and Gandalf spoke, Chu Hao explained first: "Because it is on the hillside. You can farm it. First, it is still in the territory of the human country, maybe it can be said that it is the border of the human country. Although there is no one here, and no one will say anything if you farm a little, but when there is a conflict, This may be an excuse for the human kingdom to attack the Turin dwarves, so it is better not to develop here as much as possible. Judging from the situation here, it should be a very poor dwarf family farming here, harvesting food and vegetables, and then selling them in the Blue Mountains. "

"Secondly, there is an unwritten rule in Middle-earth, or a tacit understanding, that is, the plains belong to humans, the forests belong to elves, and the mountain caves belong to dwarves. Of course, I mean roughly, like Half-orcs will fight for mountain caves just like dwarves, but humans will not fight for this reason, and the land on the hillside is barely a mountain, but the plain below the valley is not a mountain, so you can understand why Is the Lonely Mountain so important to the dwarves? Because there are mountains, vast plains for farming, and abundant water resources for irrigation and drinking. It can be said that it is the largest blessed land for dwarves in the Middle-earth world. ( First release)”

Everyone in the Arctic Island team can hear the voice in their head, which is said by the mind controller, because some things are not good to say directly in front of the dwarves, but these few words make everyone I understand, and to put it simply, I am afraid of disputes. Elves have the power of forests, dwarves have the power of mountains and caves, and humans have the power of plains. This is an invisible rule in Middle-earth. If dwarves enter When they arrived in the mountains of the human country, humans might only consider it as a tribe to migrate or take refuge, but if a group of dwarves entered the human plains and set up camp, then it was not guaranteed that it would lead to war between the two tribes.

During the past few days, Chu Hao had probably heard some information about the Blue Mountain dwarves from the dwarves, many of which were attributed to the lawyer Nohan Biss. His penetrating tongue , as if he was more suitable for dealing with ordinary people than Chu Hao, many things were revealed in his chatting with those dwarves.

At present, the Blue Mountain dwarves, the original Turin dwarves, are committed to developing the rich mineral resources of the Blue Mountains, and at the same time forging them into various weapons, tools, etc. needed by humans and elves. At the same time, there is a certain amount of gold and gem reserves as a source of funds, and at the same time, the money obtained from the transaction is used to buy food and various living supplies. In short, it is already a stable dwarf country... If you don't look at its future crisis.

In fact, Blue Mountain is not a no-man's land. This is the edge of the human kingdom. Of course, it is fine to say that this is not a human kingdom, but it is also fine to say that it is the territory of a human kingdom, which is the so-called ambiguity Of course, according to the intensity of land development in this era, there may be no need to worry about territorial disputes with humans for at least five hundred years.

That is normal, but there is an invisible prophecy in this world. When the next era comes, dwarves will hide in deep mountain caves, elves will go to overseas fairy mountains, and then humans will become the masters of the next era. It is a human era, and Blue Mountain is so close to the human world, once the human era comes, how will the dwarves deal with themselves? Will it perish like the non-human race that did not retreat in the prophecy? Or has it lost all dwarven traditions and culture and become a subspecies of humans? This is the biggest crisis for the blue mountain dwarves, and the future Thorin imagined for them is to take back the Lonely Mountain, the kingdom below the mountain, the most famous legendary territory of the dwarves, so that all problems can be solved.

But... the dwarves of Blue Mountain, or the dwarves who really control the power of Blue Mountain, are they willing to do this?

There is such a detail in the plot of the original movie, that is, after the dwarves were forced to leave the lonely mountain, they tried to take back the former territory of the dwarves. It was a huge underground city that had been abandoned for many years, but it had been occupied by orcs. Therefore, the dwarves and the orc army fought a big battle, but the result was a disastrous victory. This is the plot that was clearly staged in the movie.

In that battle, Thorin, the king of the dwarves, died in battle, but the whereabouts of the most orthodox new dwarf king, Thorne, Thorin's father, was unknown. Therefore, although Thorin was the prince of the dwarves in Turin , the most direct heir of the dwarves in Turin, but he cannot justifiably ascend the throne, because the real king of the dwarves should be Thorne, so even until now, Thorin is still called the prince of the dwarves, not the king of the dwarves. That's why, because he doesn't have the power to take the throne, at least not until Thorne's situation is clarified.

According to the current situation of Lanshan, and based on the information Chu Hao obtained from the accompanying dwarves, there is only one thing to sum up, that is, it is not Sorin who really rules Lanshan, but Turin. The aristocrats and elders of the ancestral veins, they established an organization similar to the noble council, which shared almost all the power of the Blue Mountain, and although Sorin had a high reputation for finding the Blue Mountain, his plan to take back the Lonely Mountain could not be implemented , the reason is this, he has a conflict of interest with those who are really in power in Blue Mountain.

One is that the horror of the fire dragon Smaug makes these nobles feel lingering fears, and the other is... this is Chu Hao's own guess. He is never afraid to use the darkest psychology to guess others. power, because once Sorin regains the Lonely Mountain and obtains the symbol of the king of dwarves from Turin, the gemstone of the heart of the mountain, then even if Thorne has disappeared, he still has enough reasons, power, prestige, and Rationality became king, and the world respected kingship very much. At that time, Sorin regained the ruling right of the Turin lineage, and they had nothing to do.

It is precisely because of all kinds of guesswork and the outcome of the information that Chu Hao made such a judgment... The Turin dwarves in Blue Mountain, it is impossible for them to agree with Sorin's expedition plan, and it is precisely because of this that Sorin made such a judgment. Only a dozen or so dwarves accompanied them.

But it's not unsolvable!

The reason why Chu Hao insisted on going to Lanshan was because he already had a solution to deal with the nobles in Lanshan... that is the supremacy of kingship!

Yes, in Middle-earth, this is a country where kingship is supreme, such as dwarves, elves, and humans. Whether it is the prequel of the Lord of the Rings or the trilogy of the Lord of the Rings, many things in it undoubtedly show that Given this supremacy of kingship, maybe Chu Hao called on the dwarves and the poor to oppose the nobles out of thin air, asking them to overthrow the nobles, beat up the local tyrants, and divide the land. Even without the nobles doing anything, those poor people might tear him apart, let alone the elves. Human beings, as well as the wizards roaming the middle-earth continent, everyone will regard him as an enemy. At that time, Chu Hao will be unable to move an inch. In fact, even the dark forces may regard him as the greatest enemy, because he is overthrowing The foundation of order in this world ~IndoMTL.com~ But what about another method...

When the nobility and the royal power came into conflict, Sorin, who has a high reputation, the ordinary people of the Turin dwarves, the poor, and even the dwarf warriors and soldiers, their choice...is it oppressing them? The nobles, or the royal family that brought them glory and a future? This is almost no choice...

As Chu Hao said before, Sorin has the suzerain responsibility to those nobles. It is impossible for him to call on his people to overthrow the nobles, because this will completely destroy the basis of his rule, and even make other people The dwarf clan is hostile to him, but Chu Hao does not have such a psychological burden. In fact, if the Turin dwarves are hostile and isolated by other dwarf clans, it may be more to his liking, because only the Turin dwarfs do not When retreating, then his rough road is their only choice, and they will fight against the Samsara team desperately for him, instead of abandoning the Arctic Island team, and let the Turin dwarves get a better Great benefits...

So when the team came to the territory of Blue Mountain, when the dozen or so noble dwarves who greeted them saw the indifferent performance of Sorin and his team, Sorin and the dwarves who followed him looked cold and handsome, Gandalf also had a serious face, only Chu Hao...

Smiled lightly...
