Dwarves are the most greedy creatures in Middle-earth. Their greed for money even exceeds that of dragons. This greed for money is so strong that they resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings and completely transform the dark temptation into a desire for precious metals. Among greed, this can really be said to be an extremely weird talent and hobby.
It can be seen from the plot of the movie that when the Kingdom under the Mountain still existed, Thorin's grandfather, Thor, the King of the Mountain at the time, had a strong obsession with collecting gold, and all of this was shown in the movie. It was shown in .
Relatively speaking, Thorin does not have this tendency. He behaves more like a human noble, pursuing honor and power. On the contrary, he does not care much about money. This can be seen from his performance in Blue Mountain. When he came out, he was deliberately thinking about retaking the Lonely Mountain instead of accumulating more wealth. Even if he refused to give away any of the treasures in the kingdom under the mountain to outsiders, that was because he thought that the wealth belonged to the Turin dwarves, not him. Like gold.
However, dwarves like Thorin are a very small minority among the dwarves. In contrast, the vast majority of dwarves are fond of precious metals, especially the nobles among the dwarves. They can obtain various kinds of materials through their power. Wealth, but the common people are not so lucky. They are like the working people in modern cities. They can have food and clothing, and occasionally enjoy themselves, but they definitely do not belong to the bourgeoisie, and they cannot imagine the speed at which the bourgeoisie accumulates wealth. For example, in front of you
The Blue Mountains purchase more than 80% of their food from the human kingdom every year, and 30% of the dwarves in the Blue Mountains don't even have enough to eat. Thorin even made weapons for this purpose and brought them to the human kingdom for sale. This is what he told me personally, This is what most of you have seen with your own eyes. This is still in the Blue Mountains, and in the human kingdom, the dwarves who live in a foreign land are displaced. They are as hungry as hobbits, and many of their children are even killed alive. Starved to death, and Blue Mountain's financial situation is said to have been in deficit for several years, so even if Thorin wanted to take back Gushan, he did not ask for any support from Blue Mountain because he had no money.
Having said this, Chu Hao immediately asked the dwarf elder in a sharp tone: Then I want to ask you, where do you get these gold and gems? Don't tell me that you earned it, and don't tell me that you earned it. There is not so much wealth in the entire Blue Mountains to give you such a large collection, so where else can it come from? It could only be that you betrayed Thorin, betrayed the Turin dwarves, betrayed your ancestors, and then from The orcs got all this wealth. You know, the orcs occupied the ancient hometown of the dwarves, and there were countless gold veins there.
The dwarf elder seemed to have understood something. He kept retreating, shouting as he retreated: I didn't, I didn't betray Thorin, nor did I betray the Turin dwarves. These golds, these golds are indeed mine, yes. , these golds are collections I brought from Gushan, I didn’t betray anyone
But even the nobles didn't believe this, because when the Turin dwarves escaped from the Lonely Mountain, they abandoned almost everything and escaped. Almost all the gold became the fire dragon's collection. How could the dwarf elders possibly From there gold can be brought
Of course, the nobles all know where the dwarf elders' gold comes from. In fact, a small number of commoners also know, but this is a taboo and no one will say it. It's one thing to do it, but to say it. It's another thing. If they are not afraid of being torn into pieces by the angry civilians who are starving to death, then they can tell it, but no one can bear the consequences.
When the surrounding civilians were angry and silent, and the nobles and soldiers were also speechless, Chu Hao suddenly spoke again: You betrayed Thorin, you betrayed the lord you swore allegiance to, you betrayed the Turin dwarves This gold is the wealth of the entire Blue Mountains. It belongs to all Turin dwarves and should be controlled and enjoyed by all Turin dwarves.
At this time, a very small number of nobles rolled their eyes and actually began to echo Chu Hao's words. Looking at the gold color, they heard that they also owned the wealth, and the other party was a traitor. Under the circumstances, the civilians also started to make noises, and the dwarves in the army looked at the dwarf elder with doubts and anger. The whole scene began to boil.
At this time, another dwarf elder stood up and said: Since the Speaker is indeed suspected of betraying His Highness Thorin, he will be imprisoned now. The punishment will be decided after His Highness Thorin returns. As for the wealth
Chu Hao would give these dwarf nobles and elders a chance. He immediately shouted loudly: He betrayed your prince, he betrayed Thor's grandson, Son of Thorn, Thorin, Oak Shield dwarf soldiers, you still have a little bit. Are you bloody? Look at the treacherous villain who betrayed your hero and was taken away in front of you. Don’t tell me. You don’t know his power. Don’t tell me. You don’t know his connections and connections. I’m afraid I’ll wait for him. After being imprisoned, he will secretly leave the detention point the next day. As for the wealth, I'm afraid he will try his best to take it back. As long as he is still alive, he will definitely take it back.
Kill him, avenge His Highness Thorin, punish for betrayal, and make the traitor pay the price with blood.
kill him
kill him kill him
From the beginning, a few dwarves with bad tempers and upright personalities were shouting, and then almost all the civilians started to shout. Even the dwarves in the army roared like this. Moreover, following the herd mentality, there is no legal responsibility. The crowd, and under the protection of the greater authority of the royal power, more and more people kept roaring. In the end, except for the nobles and dwarf elders, almost all the dwarves were roaring like this, and the nobles and dwarf elders were roaring like this. Their faces have begun to turn pale.
The dwarf elder who said he wanted to imprison the speaker also turned pale. He seemed to have realized something and shouted loudly: "Quiet, we must respect the law. Your Highness Thorin will judge everything. I swear, I will never do it because of this." If this traitor is let go under any circumstances, we can all testify that we will keep him in custody until His Highness Thorin returns.
The second traitor is him
When the dwarf elder shouted loudly in an attempt to stop the excited dwarves, Chu Hao suddenly pointed at the dwarf elder and shouted loudly: He also has evidence in his family, and it was him who not only betrayed Suo Lin even asked the orcs to kill Thorin. He just wanted to use this to paralyze everyone, because as long as his conspiracy succeeds, Thorin will never be able to return, and he will be killed by the orc army.
After hearing this, the most excited group of dwarf civilians began to crowd forward, wanting to rush forward and beat these traitors. The dwarf guards tried to stop them at first, but were called traitors and lackeys by these civilians, and questioned When asked whether they were still loyal to Prince Thorin, these dwarf guards fell silent, and then loosened their defense line indifferently. Some dwarf guards even directly participated in it, almost besieging and attacking the two dwarf elders. They were knocked to the ground, and then there was no more. The chaos at the scene had already made these two old dwarves die.
And after listening to Chu Hao's words to find evidence, the dwarf civilians and the dwarf army found a large amount of precious metals in the elder's house. Although the number was slightly less than that of the dwarf elder's chairman, it was something that the civilians could not imagine. of wealth.
The traitors betrayed Thorin and the Turin dwarves, just for them, just for this gold, and all of this belongs to all the Turin dwarves.
This gold will be used to purchase large amounts of food, and any Turin dwarf will be able to eat enough and never feel hungry again.
This gold can also be used to buy good clothing materials. Even in winter and high mountains, cold is no longer a problem.
This gold can also be used to buy land, weapons, and daily necessities. This is wealth that belongs to everyone.
This noble also betrayed Thorin, and this one. I am not sure about these nobles, but you can go to their homes to find evidence. If they did not betray, then they can definitely show their innocence.
This, this, this, this
Fanatic emotions often make people unable to distinguish between true and false, right and wrong. Once the general trend of fanaticism is formed, even if you were once a prominent nobleman, a powerful general, or a leader who was about to become prime minister, At this moment, they are just ants in the tide of fanaticism. All of this has happened countless times in history. It all seems to have always been so simple.
I can’t tell whether it was a carnival or a real bloody event. When the frenzy began to spread, everyone from the dwarf elders, to the dwarf nobles, to the upper class wealthy became victims one after another, and among them, Thorin was actually betrayed. traitors, and those recorded letters seem to support the legality and rationality of all this, because the people did not and did not rebel. They were fighting for their king and fighting to eliminate the traitors. , all this is noble
Isn't it
Two days later, all the nobles, elders, and upper class wealthy people in Blue Mountain
The whole family died
