The arrival of Chu Hao and others was almost a sensation.
The previous statement that Thorin Oakenshield was attacked, and that the betrayers were actually the dwarf nobles of the Blue Mountains, has already spread to several densely populated areas in the Blue Mountains, and the largest dwarf settlement in the Blue Mountains is The place where the dwarf nobles and elders currently live is even more noisy, and there have even been more than a dozen armed fights. This is not a modern civilized society, this is the Middle-earth world of feudal society. Most dwarves may feel that because of this, They are afraid of powerful enemies and wisely protect themselves, but they still believe in honor and oaths, and are loyal to Thorin. Taking back the Lonely Mountain is one thing, but betraying Thorin is another.
And all these emotions were almost boiling to the extreme when Chu Hao and others arrived in the most prosperous residential area, because everyone knew that members of the dwarf guard actually attacked Chu Hao and others yesterday. This was simply unimaginable. Yes, because the Dwarf Guard is one of the most elite dwarf armies in the Blue Mountains. They actually sent a squadron to attack Prince Thorin's companions. This in itself represents betrayal.
When Chu Hao and others came here, the block was almost crowded with dwarves who came from all around. Everyone looked at Chu Hao and others in silence, and at the same time looked at the group of dwarves captured by Chu Hao and others. The guard soldiers walked majestically into the largest underground hall, which is the council hall of elders and the place where nobles most often appear. It is guarded by layers of elite dwarf guards, thousands of dwarf guards, and even With just one order, Chu Hao and others couldn't even escape.
But Chu Hao didn't seem to see all this at all. He directly led the members of the Arctic Team and the group of dwarf guard prisoners closer. In front of the hall, a group of dwarf nobles and elders were already livid. Waiting for him.
There are traitors among you
When Chu Hao came to the front, he didn't even give the nobles and elders time to speak. He pointed at them and spoke.
The dwarf nobles looked at each other, and one of the dwarf elders with a white beard stood up and said: Since you said so, then show your evidence, human, otherwise, we can expel you just for slandering this crime. Out of Blue Mountain
Chu Hao just looked at them quietly without saying a word, and another dwarf noble immediately stood up and sneered: What evidence can he have? I think he is just slandering, otherwise I will ask him to come up with evidence. ah.
Suddenly there were a bunch of nobles booing. Of course, Chu Hao believed that not all of the booing nobles had betrayed Thorin, but the nobles were a very strange class. They might fight among themselves or defect to foreign enemies, but alone Individuals can do this. As an aristocratic class, they will be extremely united when facing foreign enemies. The public opinion storm caused by Chu Hao this time has allowed them to see the loosening of their dominance, so even if they are still loyal to Thorin's nobles will still suppress his arrogance first, or even expel him, and then start discussing internally who betrayed Thorin. This is class.
But it’s about class
Of course I have evidence.
Chu Hao said calmly: The first traitor I want to testify against is your highly respected Chairman of the Council of Elders. It was he who took the lead and planned the betrayal of Thorin Oakenshield. He was also the one who betrayed the most detailed information to The orc, that's him
Everyone was in an uproar immediately, because the person Chu Hao was referring to was the elder who spoke out first. He was also the highest-ranking dwarf nobleman here. He had assisted the king in ruling Gushan during the Gushan Kingdom. An important minister, in the words of the Eastern Kingdom, he is equivalent to the role of prime minister. He has served Grandpa Thorin for nearly a hundred years, and such a person is actually accused of being a traitor.
The elder was so angry that his beard stood straight up. He roared loudly and said: Come with your evidence or I will make you pay the price. Human beings, you are tarnishing my glory. I swear on my beard, If you can't produce evidence, I will definitely chop off your head
All the nobles stared at Chu Hao, and some nobles even planned to call out the dwarf guards next to them, because they all knew that the luggage of Chu Hao and others had been burned, and they had no evidence if they had it before. talk.
When the dwarf elder said this, he looked at Chu Hao fiercely and continued: Don't say anything about your evidence being destroyed by fire, and don't say anything about being attacked by us dwarves. You are human beings. Go to Gushan to tell us. The prince was attacked by the orcs, who accused us of having a traitor among us. These soldiers are just to ensure your safety and bring you to this safe place. Now, show us your evidence.
Chu Hao smiled, pointed at the dwarf elder and said: Isn't the evidence always in your home? Now, right here, in front of all the soldiers, in front of all the nobles who listened to me, when Looking at all the civilians who are listening to all this outside, everyone is here. Let's search your home together. We will definitely find evidence that you betrayed your lord. I ask you, do you dare
As soon as these words came out, the dwarf elder's brows jumped. However, his temper was also quite violent. I don't know if he was really innocent. He immediately yelled and said: "Okay, go search my home immediately." If you can't find any evidence, then I'll take your head off. After saying this, he took the lead and walked directly out of the hall. The other nobles hesitated for a moment and followed behind him, together with the dwarf guards, almost in disguise. Escorting Chu Hao and others, they also followed.
However, the number of nobles, elders, and dwarf guards was only a little over a thousand. But outside the hall, there were tens of thousands of densely packed dwarves watching all this. Silently, these dwarves also followed. Arriving at the door of this dwarf elder's home, everyone followed closely.
After arriving at the door, the dwarf elder asked the guards to search his home, but Chu Hao immediately shouted loudly: "These guards are all your subordinates and they all obey your orders. I don't doubt whether they are interested in searching his home." Lin Oakenshield is loyal, but I am not sure whether there are traitors among them. Do you think such a search can really find evidence, or do you intend to destroy the evidence
The dwarf elder's eyes were red. He stared at Chu Hao and asked in a deep voice with murderous intent: "Then what do you want? Do you guys go into the search?"
No. Chu Hao shook his head, then looked at the dense crowd of dwarves on the street and said: I don’t believe these nobles who betrayed Thorin, but I believe you, because Thorin has always told me that his people He is the most loyal and brave dwarf, so I believe that you have never betrayed Thorin. I hope that a brave person among you can stand up and enter this elder's house, move all his things out and put them on this street. Above, let everyone see what is in his home, whether there is evidence, whether he betrayed Thorin, until that moment, all the truth will be revealed
The dwarf civilians suddenly fell silent, but most dwarves have hot tempers. Although there are cowardly dwarves, there are more stubborn dwarves. In a moment, at least fifty or sixty dwarves stood up. They looked at the dwarf elder in silence, waiting for him to allow them to enter his room.
The dwarf elder finally felt a little panic at this time, but the panic was very shallow. He yelled at Chu Hao: You are just a human, but you have accompanied His Highness Thorin on adventures. What qualifications do you have to tell us what to do? Order me to open my door wide
Chu Hao nodded behind him and saw Nohanbisi take out a long contract paper from his arms. He first raised it to the people around him so that they could see what it was, and then began to read the contents on it. , when they thought that Chu Hao and others were allies with the entire Turin dwarf lineage, the common people and nobles suddenly started to make a noise involuntarily. You must know that the oath in Middle-earth is not something that can be made casually. Basically, they will abide by it, because there are real gods in this world, and the oath itself can represent power.
The dwarf elders fell silent, neither objecting nor approving. After a few minutes, one of the strongest dwarf civilians who stood up, who looked like he was a miner, bypassed the dwarf guards directly. He and the nobles walked into the elder's home first, while the other civilians looked at each other and broke in together. After a while, a large number of things were moved to the street.
At first, there were only some daily necessities, including beds and the like, but gradually, gold creations, silver creations, and even mithril creations began to appear, and in addition to these creations, a large number of gold nuggets, gold bricks, gems, and jewelry Things started to be moved out, and it was not over yet, because there were miners among the civilians, he actually found a secret room of this elder, where piles of gold coins almost piled up into a hill, and when these things were When they moved out, the eyes of the civilians all changed, with doubts, disbelief, and greed.
Heaven on Earth Party, greed is actually not a sin, being greedy is a sin.
These are the evidence
Chu Hao pointed at the gold mountains and shouted loudly: These things are the biggest evidence that you betrayed Thorin. In order to get these golds, you actually betrayed your own king, you scum.
