save the bachelors

Chapter 5044 [I want to negotiate a condition with you]

"Kili, do it!" Thorin shouted.

Xiang Nan waved his hand, and all the bows and arrows in the hands of the elves, and the long swords and short swords at their waists came into his hands.

"..." The elves were stunned. They didn't expect that they would be disarmed by Xiang Nan, and their weapons had slipped out of their hands before they could even react.

Xiang Nan then waved his hand, and in an instant, dozens of ropes appeared out of thin air, instantly tying up the elves tightly.

"..." The elves were surprised to see all this. They had never expected that Xiang Nan's magic would be so powerful that they were completely unable to resist.

"I warned you not to block our way." Thorin said coldly, then looked at Xiang Nan, "Keep going."

He did not order the elves to be killed.

On the one hand, although the dwarves and elves have new and old grudges, it is different from the hatred between the dwarves and the orcs, so there is no need to fight to the death; on the other hand, the elves have been tied up and have no ability to fight back, so he does not want to take advantage of them.

Xiang Nan nodded and led the dwarves to continue their journey, leaving the tied elves and the weapons they used behind.

But not long after he walked out, Xiang Nan suddenly stopped and said, "Oh no, those giant spiders are back again."

"Don't worry about them, they deserve it." Thorin waved his hand.

If the elves were killed by the spiders, it was their fault and not the dwarves' fault.

"No, that's too cruel." Xiang Nan waved his hand and ran back. As expected, he saw the elves were surrounded by more than a dozen giant spiders.

The spiders wrapped them up like mummies using thick silk and then hung them on the trees.

"What a plump elf! We can have a good meal now!"

"That's great. I haven't eaten elf meat in a long time."

"The elf's meat is exceptionally tender, so good~"

"Let me eat one first, let me eat this woman first~"

The spiders said as they packed their bags.

……

At this moment, Xiang Nan shot an arrow and killed the spider that was about to attack the female elf.

Then he shot another arrow, which hit the spider silk that hung the female elf.

With a swish, the spider silk was shot off and the female elf fell from the tree.

Xiang Nan caught her with one hand and waved his hand. Several lightning bolts shot out from his fingertips and shot towards the other giant spiders.

In an instant, all the spiders were turned into charcoal by electrocution.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you tied up there." Xiang Nan apologized to the female elf. If he was not mistaken, this female elf was Tauriel.

Before the female elf could speak, Xiang Nan shot out more than ten arrows in a row.

Without exception, all the arrows hit the spider silk that hung the elves, causing them all to fall from the tree.

Xiang Nan also waved his hand, changing their rapid fall into a slow landing.

“……” Seeing that it was the dwarves who saved them, the elves’ faces looked a little ugly.

After all, there was a deep hatred between the elves and the dwarves, and it was Xiang Nan who tied them up just now, otherwise they would not have been caught by the spider so easily.

Therefore, they should have said thank you for being rescued, but looking at Xiang Nan, they couldn't say that word, and instead felt humiliated. "Don't look at me like that, we are not enemies, and I don't want to be enemies with you." Xiang Nan looked at the elves and said, then lifted their magic, "We don't even know each other, is it necessary to make a fuss over an old grudge from hundreds or thousands of years ago?

Why can't we let go of the hatred and start over? Is the hatred so deep that it will continue for hundreds or thousands of years? Is it necessary?"

After hearing what he said, all the elves looked at Xiang Nan with shocked eyes, as if he was a fool, as if they thought that what he said was somewhat disrespectful.

After all, the hatred between elves and dwarves has lasted for thousands of years. How is it possible to let go of the hatred and start over?
Only the female elf who was saved by Xiang Nan looked at Xiang Nan meaningfully, as if thinking about something.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Don't try to stop us anymore. Our actions really have nothing to do with your Elf Kingdom." After Xiang Nan said this, he ran quickly along the Elf Road.

"Lord Legolas, what should we do?" The elves looked at Legolas and asked.

"Go back and report to the Elf King first." Legolas thought for a moment and said, "Tauriel, follow me. What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Tauriel was looking at Xiang Nan who was walking away. When she heard Legolas' call, she hurried forward and said.

……

Xiang Nan returned to the dwarves' team and led them forward.

"You shouldn't help them. They are elves. They didn't help us back then." Thorin said coldly.

"The elves are cold-blooded and heartless people. They don't deserve our help." Dwalin objected.

"They deserve to be eaten by spiders. That's the retribution for not helping them." Dori said with disgust.

"Okay, let's continue on our way." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

About an hour later, Xiang Nan suddenly stopped and said, "Stop, there is an ambush~"

The dwarves were unable to brake in time and bumped into each other, almost falling to the ground.

"What happened?" Thorin asked quickly.

"I smelled danger. People were approaching us from the front and the back," Xiang Nan explained.

"Pick up your weapons and get ready." Thorin shouted immediately after hearing it.

The dwarves responded in unison, picking up their weapons and preparing for battle.

Sure enough, a moment later, footsteps were heard, and then the elf army in shining helmets and armor were seen encircling them from both the front and back directions.

The leading elf was extremely handsome. He wore a gorgeous and precious silk robe, had thick and fiery golden hair, and a crown woven of red leaves and berries on his head, which made him even more handsome and charming.

Riding on a huge moose made him look even taller, more noble and more imposing.

"Thranduil?!" As soon as he saw him, Thorin immediately called out his name.

This elf is Thranduil, the king of the elven kingdom in Mirkwood.

"Thorin~" Thranduil rode up to them on a moose and asked coldly, "Where are you going?"

"That's none of your business," Thorin replied coldly.

"Just because you don't tell me doesn't mean I won't know." Thranduil smiled contemptuously, "Some people think that this will be a sacred journey. Kill the dragon and take back their homeland.

I suspect the real motive is less noble, just to steal treasure or something else. You found the secret passage and you wanted to retrieve the jewel that gave you the right to rule, the King's Stone, the Arkon Stone.

To you, its value is inestimable. I know that there are also jewels in the Lonely Mountain that I want - white gems, as pure as starlight. I want to negotiate a condition with you~"
