Chapter 71 Can I Touch Your

Chapter 71 Can I touch yours——

"A silver coin?"

The dwarf looked at the mithril coin in Tang Sen's hand hesitantly, rubbed his eyes, and muttered uncertainly: "Not really, but the color is a bit like it."

He swallowed the two words, obviously still a little bit unconvinced, so he couldn't help but move closer and put his face in front of Tang Sen's hand without hesitation.

There was no need to bend down, as his height was just right.

"The more I look at it, the more it looks like it, human, where did you get it from?"

"My name is Tang Sen." Tang Sen did not answer his question, but smiled and said: "It's strange, with the dwarf's sensitivity to metal, you didn't recognize what it was at first glance?"

"Of course I can recognize it!" The dwarf didn't even look at Tang Sen, but just stared at the mithril coin, "But I have never seen this thing in person."

"Can I touch yours——"

"Of course." Tang Sen didn't wait for him to finish, and generously put the mithril in his hand.

It is dangerous to hand over wealth to a dwarf in the wilderness, after all, greed is inherent in the nature of dwarves.

But Tang Sen is not very worried.

Dwarves are actually a race that values ​​integrity very much. They are good at mining ore and making iron tools, but not good at farming. Their living needs basically come from trade with other races. Integrity is the foundation of the dwarves, so they will respect and maintain the rules of the transaction, unless the temptation is too great.

For example, many years ago, the elves asked the dwarf craftsmen to make a crown with the Silmaril. Faced with such a treasure as the Silmaril, the greed of the dwarves would prevail. They broke the contract and thus became enemies with the elves and became enemies.

Even so, in order to maintain their integrity, they also lied that it was the elves who were unwilling to pay for the casting, not the dwarves who deliberately broke the contract.

However, the Silmaril is a thing that even the gods are tempted. Tang Sen does not think that Mithril can have such a great temptation. Even if it is true, he will not die. At most, he will lose a little Mithril. Tang Sen is still willing to take this little risk.

The dwarf's fingers were very thick, but at this time they showed a delicate side. He carefully picked up the coin, and his face showed an undisguised excitement.

"So light, but so strong, it is indeed mithril!"

The dwarf couldn't let it go, "I have heard the legend of mithril countless times. The mithril produced in Moria once made the whole world focus on the great Durin family. Whether it was humans or elves, they brought a lot of gold just to exchange for a mithril creation, but unfortunately-"

He paused. The fall of Moria was the pain of every dwarf, so he stopped the topic and just said:

"But we will one day regain the wealth of Lonely Mountain and return to Moria."

"Recapture the Lonely Mountain?" Tang Sen chewed on this sentence. Obviously, it meant that the plot of The Hobbit had not yet begun, and the plot of The Lord of the Rings was sixty years later.

After the fall of Moria, the dwarves of Durin's clan moved to the Lonely Mountain, where they established a glorious kingdom and earned a mountain of wealth, but these riches attracted the dragon, Smaug!

Just as Moria fell to the Balrog, the Lonely Mountain also fell under Smaug's dragon fire, and the Durin dwarves were forced to flee the Lonely Mountain. A large part of them joined the dwarf clans of the Grey Mountains and the Iron Hills, and those dwarves who were unwilling to stick to the Lonely Mountain, including the royal family of the Durin dwarves, were exiled to Middle-earth and eventually temporarily settled in the Blue Mountains in the northwest.

The Durin dwarf in front of him obviously belonged to the branch that was exiled to the Blue Mountains.

Countless thoughts flowed in Tang Sen's mind. When he figured out the timeline he was in, he had to start thinking about how to complete the procurement task and what he could get in this world.

Although Middle-earth is a world with gods, there don't seem to be many things that are really worth taking away and that are helpful to him.

The most famous one is of course the Silmaril, an immortal gem forged from the light of the Two Sacred Trees. It is even coveted by the gods, which directly led to countless tragedies. But in the final analysis, it is just a beautiful gem. The light of the Two Sacred Trees, such a mysterious thing, has no meaning to Tang Sen.

Moreover, it is too difficult to find the Silmaril.

The second is the Lord of the Rings. In order to control Middle-earth, Sauron deceived the elves to create three elven rings, seven dwarf rings, and nine human rings. These rings have magical powers. The strongest elven ring can even control floods or summon fire.

Sauron gave them to the elves, dwarves and humans, but secretly created a supreme ring in Mount Doom, injecting most of his soul and power into it to command all the other 19 rings.

This also led to the nine human kings falling into the Ringwraiths, and the dwarves only cared about their treasures, so they became more greedy, dug too deep in Moria, and released the Balrog.

As for the elves, they were not affected much. After all, the rings were originally made by the elves. As long as the three elven rings did not appear in front of the One Ring, it would be fine.

The story of the Lord of the Rings trilogy revolves around the destruction of the One Ring. Now the One Ring should be in the Misty Mountains, and it is not difficult to find, but -

The stronger the person, the greater the role of this thing. For people like Tang Sen, at most it can be used to become invisible and increase lifespan.

This is not unacceptable. The key is that the Supreme Ring has only one owner, Sauron. It contains Sauron's soul and power, and will always bewitch the person who owns the ring. To be honest, Tang Sen doesn't think he can bear that kind of bewitchment.

He has never been a pure person. He thinks he doesn't have the magic resistance of the Hobbits.

So it's better to stay away from the Supreme Ring.

The remaining treasures are all ordinary goods, such as some magic weapons and sharp blades, but in Tang Sen's opinion, they are far from the Sword of Triton. As for armor, the best is the Mithril Armor. As much as you want.

It would be great if you could take away the Mithril created by the Mithril Ring. You can store a lot of Mithril, but it seems impossible. The reward for the procurement task is to choose a thing you have touched from this world, and the Mithril Ring is a gift from the world. It only exists after you come to this world.

After careful thinking, Tang Sen found that although this world is high-level, there is really nothing that can compare to the Aztec gold coin. After all, its curse can play a huge role no matter where it is.

You can't sneak into Valinor, find a Valar or Maiar, touch him, and kidnap him, right?

Let alone whether the creator god Ilúvatar agrees or not. Even if you succeed, how should you face a god? How can you guarantee that the other party won't crush you to death with a slap?

Unless you can completely control the other party, Tang Sen will never choose a living thing.

"Wait--"

Tang Sen suddenly had an idea.

"Living thing?"

This chapter will write some settings, after all, there will be book friends who have not read the original book.

Well, it's mainly about the world view, just take a look, it won't affect the reading much.
