Chapter 1194 The Dwarf King

Third Age, 2790.

In the low wooden house by the small lake, Tyrion was sweating profusely, and the hammer in his hand and the sword embryo on the anvil made a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping sound from the hammer and the sword embryo on the anvil.

Inside the blacksmith shop, there are dwarves coming and going with buckets and charcoal; outside the house, you can vaguely hear the voice of the elder brother negotiating prices with human traders.

Humans are treacherous, and human merchants are even more treacherous. This kind of business dealing with treacherous merchants should have been done by the clever and intelligent second prince of Turin, but Tyrion really didn't want to face strangers anymore. father" question.

Tyrion Turin, a half-human, bastard son of Thraine II, King of the Mountain.

When he lived in the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves didn't think much of him, only the humans liked to make a fuss.

Although his wife had an illegitimate child with his half-human cousin, Selain II did not abandon his wife and cheap son, and later gave birth to another son and a daughter with his wife.

"A dwarf who loves gems is a true dwarf, and a half-human who can't control his second child is a true half-human." This is a widely circulated proverb among dwarves and half-humans.

The dwarves are no strangers to half-human bastards.

A male half-human and a female dwarf give birth to a half-human, and a male dwarf and a half-human female give birth to a male dwarf.

It's amazing.

Dwarves and half-humans are so distinct, yet closely related, that the two groups have always lived together without distinction.

The days in the Lonely Mountain were very happy, but the good times didn't last long, and the evil dragon Smaug came soon.

Tyrion only hated that he was a soul traveler and didn't bring the witchcraft of transforming into a dragon.

It's too awful.

At that time, the entire lonely mountain was like a burning furnace, and countless familiar relatives and friends were wailed and burned into coke. The half-human father who was very good to him, the dwarf grandmother, and the dwarf mother all died in that catastrophe.

He was young, only in his teens, he was hugged by his grandfather and father and escaped from the secret passage, but he escaped with his life and lost all his family property.

They could only wander around, forging iron and selling them to human traders to make a living, and 20 years passed in a flash.

"It's not good, it's not good! The old king was killed by a half-orc!" Suddenly, an old dwarf cried sadly in the distance.

Tyrion quickly put down the hammer, and ran out quickly on his deformed short legs.

Well, his legs were misshapen and short, but his feet were bigger and stronger than a hobbit's.Running barefoot on the dirt, it seems that you can get a steady stream of strength from the depths of the earth, and you won't get tired after running for dozens of miles.

According to the old dwarf, this is a blessing from Aoli to the half-humans to make up for their deformed limbs.

"What's the matter?" he called as he ran.

Outside the yard, there were already many dwarves in shabby clothes gathered around. The arms dealer with a big belly hadn't left yet, standing out from the crowd, very conspicuous.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo" the female dwarves were crying, and the male dwarfs cursed one by one.

Tyrion squeezed through the crowd, and saw his cheap daddy was trembling while holding a gray-haired head.
The eldest brother Thorin and the third brother Frelin all had red eyes and faces full of grief and anger, while the younger sister Dis was crying softly while hugging her two little nephews.

He came closer and saw clearly that it was his grandfather's head, with a name engraved on his face.

"A~Zo~G. Who is he?" Tyrion clenched his fists and growled while suppressing his anger.

"The Orc King of the Misty Mountains." Cried Gnar, the dwarf who brought back the head of the former king.

"This is a provocation." The boss Sorin gritted his teeth.

"No, it's not a provocation, it's a humiliation, it's a declaration of war," Tyrion walked up to Cheap Daddy, "Father, we have no choice but to go to war. But this is all we have left now, and we must fight hard." We can't beat it, we need allies."

"Send a message to Iron Hills." Selain hugged his father's head tightly, his voice choked up.

At the beginning, Aoli created seven dwarves, so there are seven dwarf families in total, among which the royal family is the bearded dwarf "Durin" and its descendants.

The dwarves have lived in the Moria Mine in the Misty Mountains (the place where Gandalf met the Balrog in "The Lord of the Rings") for thousands of years, because they dug the pit too deep and awakened the Balrog hiding deep in the ground.

The Balrog, who could only be used as cannon fodder in the first era, became a top boss in the third era, and overthrew the entire dwarves by himself.

After escaping from Moria's hometown, the royal family of Turin was divided into two brothers, one was the main line and settled in the Lonely Mountain (the place where the story of "The Hobbit" took place), and the younger brother led the other to move to the Iron Hills to the east ("Five The Dwarves who came to Thorin's aid on sheep in The Battle of the Armies).

But within a few hundred years, too many gold and silver treasures were dug up from the Lonely Mountain, which attracted Smaug, and the royal family of Turin became refugees again, that is, Tyrion and his party at this time.

Even princes have to work hard to support their families.

Originally, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are still there, and the three generations living under the same roof can be regarded as happy and harmonious.

But the old man had a "crazy" attack, and he ran to Moria with only one servant to conquer the old capital, but was beheaded by the orc, and the murderer's name was engraved on his forehead
Tyrion glanced at the weapons dealers who were watching the excitement outside, and said in a low voice: "Father, we can send letters to my uncle and the others, but we must not focus on the Iron Hill dwarves."

"This is the blood feud of our Lonely Mountain Turin dwarves!" He was half a man, and he didn't feel awkward saying this at all.

"But we're the only ones," Selein said bitterly.

Smelling the stench of corpses from human heads, Tyrion sighed, "Bury grandfather first, and we'll talk about recruiting soldiers and horses later."

Three days later, Serain, his three sons, and several relatives and courtiers (in "The Hobbit", the 12 dwarves who accompanied Thorin to conquer the Lonely Mountain, all of them were offshoots of the royal family of Turin) gathered by the well in the backyard and held a meeting on revenge and justice. The family meeting of the future "national policy".

"Father, there are many people in the Dark Land, human tribes in the wild, wandering dwarves and hobbits. You are the king, and you should accept the people of the four directions as your subjects." Tyrion said first.

The protagonists of the Second Age are the Numenoreans, and the human protagonists of the Third Age are still the Dundans.

At present, there are only two kingdoms in Middle-earth that can be called civilizations, the north and the south, Arno in the north and Gondor in the south.

Arnor was established by Elendil, a collateral lineage of the Dundan royal family who survived the catastrophe, and Gondor was established by the two brothers Isildur, who blocked the gate of Mordor.

Erendil was the father of Isildur, so for a long time the two kingdoms shared one ruler.

Arnor and Gondor, which originated from Numenor, are naturally the center of human civilization, while other places are very wild.

For example, the Heiman land where the Turin dwarves are wandering at this time. You can tell how primitive the civilization here is just from the name.

But in fact, the black man land is only a few hundred kilometers away from Rohan (the nomad in "The Lord of the Rings"), and Rohan is on the side of Gondor.

If the Heiman Land is so wild, one can imagine the situation in other places.

"We raised the banner of the dwarf emperor, recruited dwarves as direct subjects, and expanded the basic base of the Turin royal family. Hobbits are also very short, and they look like half-humans, so they can also be included. As for humans, we can let them be A vassal of the dwarf emperor, guarding the borders of the dwarf territory."

The more Tyrion talked, the more excited he was, dancing and dancing, his ugly face flushed, but the dwarf next to him looked blank.

"We are the Turin dwarves, and the barbarian dwarves are not of the same ethnic group as us." The eldest brother Sorin frowned.

"Hobbits are half-men, but not half-men. Half-men are dwarven cousins, and hobbits are not," muttered Barrin.

The cheap daddy Serain also shook his head and said, "Let's write to Uncle Groer in Iron Hills. My father is his brother. He won't ignore this blood feud."

Thinking of the notorious stubbornness of the dwarves, Tyrion might not be able to convince them, so he said, "Otherwise, let's learn from Grandpa and Uncle Grol, and start to separate the family now.

The eldest brother inherits the throne of the king under the mountain, and I am the second son. Like Uncle Groer, I share part of the family property and come out to do it alone. "

"I'm not dead yet! And how old are you? You're only in your early 40s, how can you do it alone?" Selein blew his beard and stared.

"I didn't even think about breaking up the family before. Isn't this the fact that Grandpa was beheaded by a half-orc, and he must gather all forces to take revenge?" Tyrion shouted.

"Actually, it's not bad to separate the family now. Tyrion has never been the master of peace. If we separate, he will be less restrained, and you will be less angry, Celin." Groin muttered.

He is one of the "Twelve Dwarf Warriors" in "The Hobbit", and the father of the dwarf Jin Pi in the "Lord of the Rings" squad, and he is also an offshoot of the Turin royal family.

The dwarf king who had lost his kingdom thought about it carefully, and felt that what the old brother said made sense. He nodded and said hesitantly, "But now we are poor and we have no property to give to Tyrion."

"One Moria, one Lonely Mountain, the eldest brother will choose first, and give me the rest." Tyrion laughed.

Thorin frowned and said, "In the depths of Moria there is 'Durin's Nemesis' (the name the dwarves gave to the Balrog), and it is still occupied by Orcs; the Lonely Mountain has become Smaug's lair, and you will get nothing. "

"I only want righteousness and hope, use righteousness to gather the people, and use hope to arm soldiers. One day, I will make hope come true, and righteousness will become the crown on my head." Tyrion said.

"Good! As expected of my son, he has ambition!" The old dwarf king clapped his hands appreciatively, and turned to his eldest son, "Sorin, you are the eldest son, you choose first."

"I was born in the Lonely Mountain, and I have never seen Moria. I want to go home." Sorin murmured.

"Well, starting today, please call me 'King of Moria'." Tyrion said vigorously.

"As for me, father, eldest brother and second brother, what can I get?" the third brother, Fralin, said excitedly.

"You..." Tyrion looked at his younger brother's youthful face, and said, "I am the king, and you are the prince. Moria is huge, running through the Misty Mountains, connecting the east and west continents, and each of us guards one end."

"Haha, thank you, second brother." Fralin grinned silly.

At the beginning, all the dwarves regarded Tyrion as the "King of Moria" as a joke, but as he took the title of King of Moria, he recruited the first batch of 200 wandering dwarves from the Black Barbarian Land. , Cheap Dad's expression became serious, and the Turin dwarf stopped laughing behind his back.

When Tyrion incorporated 200 wild dwarves into his personal guard, and arranged ten Turin dwarves as the small captain, and his younger brother Frelin as the commander, the other Turin dwarves began to examine the half-human dwarf king with cautious eyes. down behavior.

He asked the uncle of Iron Hills as a guarantee, borrowed a large sum of money from human merchants, and then used the money to buy supplies and food, and equip 211 dwarven guards with goat mounts.

Afterwards, Tyrion personally led the royal guards to conduct a large-scale raid in Heimandi.

At first, he only wanted dwarves.

Two years later, a small kingdom of three thousand dwarves was established at the junction of the Black Manland and the Misty Mountains.

With three thousand dwarves, Tyrion finally began to accept the barbarian tribe as his vassals.

His method is very simple, bestow iron and salt.

No tribe can refuse iron farm tools, weapons and well salt as white as fine sand.

Five years later, King Moria used the newly mined gold, silver and precious stones to repay the human merchants' previous loans, which tripled.

The reputation of King Moria's generosity, honesty and trustworthiness gradually spread to nearby kingdoms.

 Tyrion's plot won't be too long, and it won't drag on for too long. In fact, after these two chapters today, his main role will be over.
