Chapter 41 Counting the Harvest 【Please recommend】

King Elon handed back the sword to Morgan.

Thorin Oakenshield just in time handed over the short sword Morgan had thrown to him in the cave of the three trolls.

King Elon took the dagger, looked at it for a while, and then pulled out the dagger to observe the inscription cast on the blade.

There are no inscriptions on ordinary weapons.

Only when a real sword is forged, will the blacksmith cast inscriptions on it for transmission.

These cast inscriptions basically record the information of this weapon.

For example, the time and place of weapon forging, and some even have the name of the blacksmith on them.

Of course, only forging masters are eligible to leave their names on the sword.

There are two ways for a sword to become famous.

The first one is because of the master, the master who holds the sword has made meritorious service and great reputation in the war, which can make the sword he holds famous.

The second is because of birth, from the hands of a well-known forging master, which can make a sword have a certain reputation from the moment it comes out of the furnace.

However, most of the well-known swords that have been handed down are famous for the first reason.

Because from ancient times to the present, there are too few existences that can reach the level of a master blacksmith, and there are even fewer swords forged by a master blacksmith.

This is also the reason Morgan, Gandalf, and Thorin Oakenshield's swords are all famous because of the first type of record.

King Elon's erudition is as much admired by Gandalf.

In just a short period of time, the three long swords of unknown origin can be clearly explained like a few treasures.

Apparently, Thorin Oakenshield, who was at the side, was stunned.

"May it serve you well."

When King Elon smiled and handed back the dagger that had been appraised to Thorin Oakenshield.

Looking at the dwarf king who took the short sword politely with both hands.

Morgan could clearly see that Thorin Oakenshield had a lot of respect for King Elon.

The two dining tables in the open-air garden are not far apart.

The sound of King Elon appreciating the long sword at Morgan's table naturally spread to the other table.

Bilbo listened to King Elon's words, and could not help taking out the very short sword that Gandalf had handed him when he came out of the troll's cave at last.

Balin, the white-bearded dwarf, was sitting beside him, watching Bilbo's movements and smiling, "Don't worry about that, Bilbo."

"The sword is named for its great achievements in war, and yours." Balin shook his head with a smile.

"You mean my sword has never been used in battle?" Bilbo asked, a little annoyed.

"I'm not sure if the thing in your hand is a sword, to be honest, it looks more like a letter opener"

"Letter Opener"

Bilbo froze at Balin's words.

"How is that possible? A letter opener won't glow when a half-orc approaches!"

Bilbo wanted to refute Balin, but he didn't say anything.

At the main table, King Elon introduced the three elven swords to the three, and naturally asked about the source.

"How did you get these?" King Elon asked in surprise.

"We got it in the troll storage cellar on Eastern Avenue, and then we were attacked by orcs."

Gandalf took a sip of the fruit wine and spoke.

For his friend King Elon, Gandalf didn't want to hide too much, because he wanted to unlock the secrets of the map, and this expedition couldn't hide it from him.

Although Gandalf didn't want to hide it.

"What are you doing on Eastern Avenue?"

King Elon continued to ask.

Although he was a little surprised that Gandalf would be with a group of dwarves, he didn't know the purpose of the group for the time being.

But as soon as King Elon finished speaking, Thorin Oakenshield's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately said, "I'm full, excuse me first."

Thorin Oakenshield got up and left after speaking.

Only Morgan, King Elrond, and Gandalf were left at the main table.

Didn't care about Thorin Oakenshield's departure.

However, King Elon clearly saw the opponent's reaction.

There was no further question that would trouble Gandalf.

King Elon took a sip of the fruit wine from the glass in front of him and said with a smile, "Thirteen dwarves, a hobbit, Morgan, and you are such a strange traveling companion, Gandalf."

"They are all descendants of the Turin dwarves. They are all excellent, noble, upright, polite, and well-educated."

Gandalf picked up a few crystal clear red fruits and put them into his mouth with a smile.

Morgan picked up the fruit wine in the glass in front of him and took a sip, then turned his head to look at the table beside him, and saw Oli the dwarf picked up a silver wine glass, looked left and right, and quickly stuffed it into his arms.

This scene, combined with Gandalf's words, almost made Morgan spit out.

"cough cough"

Morgan coughed a few times before recovering.

Looking up at King Elon and Gandalf, they found that they didn't seem to notice anything strange next door, and continued to chat.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the next table.

Morgan turned his head and saw the excellent, noble, upright, polite, and well-educated dwarves that Gandalf had said just now.

At this moment there was chaos around their table, and the dwarves began to sing, tapping their knives and forks on the plates and cutlery.

Just singing and singing, several dwarves got up and stood on the exquisite long table, and began to dance.

Turning the exquisite and luxurious banquet held by the elves into an open-air barbecue party, only the dwarves can do it.

Apart from being a little surprised at the beginning, Morgan didn't think it was too strange.

Anyway, as long as these dwarves are happy to eat and drink, they like to do this kind of thing with enthusiasm, and he has long been used to it.

Like in Bilbo's Bag End more than a month ago, in temporary camps in the wild, this is what the dwarves do.

At this banquet, Morgan enjoyed eating fruit.

In such a world, although fruit is not a rare item, it is definitely a high-consumption item.

At a price comparable to that of meat, ordinary civilians would only choose meat instead of fruits that would be digested in a blink of an eye.

Ordinary fruits are expensive, not to mention the exotic fruits produced in Rivendell, the capital of elves, which was brought out by King Elon to entertain guests.

The dwarves sang and danced at the banquet, although it was a bit impolite.

But considering that this is a characteristic of the dwarves, King Elon naturally doesn't care about anything because he is well-informed.

When the banquet is over.

It was almost evening.

It was just getting dark.

The whole Rivendell lights up.

One after another the lights came on.

Just in the evening, the entire Rivendell was illuminated by lights like daytime.

Under the arrangement of the elves.

Morgan and the expedition team were taken to an attic by the elves.

Perhaps it was due to the relationship with Gandalf, or maybe it was a good performance that was appreciated by King Elon.

The elves arranged a single room for Morgan.

Fourteen dwarves and Bilbo were arranged in three rooms.

Among them, Thorin Oakenshield has one room alone, and the other thirteen people have two rooms.

Send away the elf maid.

Morgan closed the door and looked at the tub full of hot water in the spacious room.

Morgan felt that King Elon's arrangement was really appropriate.

Lying naked in the steaming tub, Morgan moaned.

He closed his eyes and lay down in the tub for a while.

Morgan opened his eyes, his thoughts moved slightly.

Brush brush.
A series of virtual data began to jump and flicker out of thin air and appeared in front of my eyes.
