Chapter 74: Divine Spear Aiglos
Gandalf took the spear, stroked it, and carefully examined it, exclaiming, "Dui'er, your luck is truly enviable!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this spear has an extraordinary origin. It is the divine spear of Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor—Aegloth. It once accompanied Gil-galad in his constant battles and even stabbed the Dark Lord Sauron in the War of the Last Alliance. However, after Gil-galad died on the battlefield, the divine spear disappeared."

"But I didn't expect to see it in the Goblin King's treasure today."

After hearing Gandalf's story, everyone was very surprised and their eyes all looked at the silver spear.

Even the dwarves who were at odds with the elves were familiar with the name of Gil-galad.

As the last High King of the Noldor and founder of the Kingdom of Lindon, Gil-galad and Elendil, founder of the Kingdom of Arnor, formed the last alliance of elves and humans.

He gathered his army in Rivendell, crossed the Misty Mountains, marched south along the Anduin River, defeated Sauron's army in the Battle of the Fields of Dagorlad, and then laid siege to Sauron's base camp - Barad-dur.

During the Siege of Barad-dur, Sauron was forced to emerge from the Black Tower to fight Gil-galad and Elendil.

In the end, Gil-galad and Elendil were both killed in the battle. Gil-galad's divine spear, Aegros, disappeared, and Elendil's holy sword, Narsil, was broken by Sauron.

When Sauron was full of pride, Isildur, the son of Elendil, picked up the broken sword fragments and cut off the finger of Sauron wearing the One Ring. Sauron's body disappeared and he was finally defeated.

Dui was also very surprised when he took the divine spear. He did not expect that this spear had such an origin.

As the weapon of Gil-galad, the High King of the Noldor, the divine spear Aegelloth embodies the efforts of countless elven craftsmen. It is the embodiment of the highest skills of the elves and can be called a divine weapon.

The divine spear Aegros is nearly two meters long. It is made of an unknown material. It is extremely hard and sharp, yet extremely light.

Dui could hold it and wield it with one hand.

"Use it well. This is the only weapon stained with Sauron's blood that is still intact. It can frighten many dark creatures." Gandalf said enviously.
"The Divine Spear is indestructible. It can even penetrate Sauron's dark armor. Perhaps it can even penetrate the dragon's scales, becoming the key weapon for victory in Lonely Mountain."

"I will." Dui nodded solemnly.

Although he already has the Flaming Sword, who would think they have too many weapons?
Not to mention it is an indestructible divine spear.

He also discovered that spells were indeed effective against creatures like orcs, but when faced with powerful Maia-level creatures like dragons and Balrogs, ordinary spells probably wouldn't do much damage.

He even had some doubts whether the Killing Curse could really kill the dragon Smaug?

After all, the Killing Curse is an attack on the soul, but creatures like dragons have very powerful souls. With Dui's current strength, the Killing Curse he casts may not cause fatal damage to the dragon.

Just like when Barty Crouch used Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as Moody in Harry Potter, he said that even if a fourth-grade student mastered the Killing Curse and cast it on him, at most it would just make his nose bleed, and it wouldn't kill him at all.

In this case, locally made artifacts like the Divine Spear Aegros can actually exert greater power and cause damage to the dragon.

Dui put the divine spear Aiglos into the leather bag, and then looked at the gold, silver and jewelry that filled the cave.

Although he has no shortage of treasures, he will not give up if he encounters one.

He picked up some old and new money bags from the ground and used the traceless extension spell to expand the space inside to about two meters.

Then he waved his wand and put all the treasures in the cave into the money bags, filling up more than a dozen bags, and then put these bags into another bag.

The dwarves were stunned when they saw this scene. Such a huge treasure was packed into a small bag?

Then what about their behavior of stuffing themselves full just now?
Under the resentful and pleading gazes of the dwarves, Dui touched his nose and agreed to expand the space in everyone's purse.

Even Thorin, who didn't take the treasure, was given a space.

So the dwarves happily stuffed all their treasures and gifts into their purses.

The two young dwarves, Qili and Fili, were so surprised that they put one hand into the bag, then excitedly pointed at the hand that looked like a broken arm and exclaimed.

“Alright, we should get out of here,” Dui shouted to the group of dwarves who were excitedly playing with their money bags. “Don’t forget we haven’t found Bilbo yet!” Upon hearing this, the dwarves instantly calmed down and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh, yes, Bilbo hasn't been found yet. I almost forgot about him."

Everyone remembered poor Bilbo and hurried out of the treasure cave.

Just looking at the steep and bottomless abyss, everyone couldn't find a way down for a while.

"This is too steep, how do we get down?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Jump down," Dui said, "and I will catch you with my magic."

Without saying a word, he jumped down.

Everyone was frightened by this sudden scene and watched Dui fall into the abyss.

"Oh, my God, he won't fall to his death, will he?" said the dwarf Bombur in horror.

"Listen to Duyle, everyone. I'll go first."

Gandalf said with a smile, and then jumped down before anyone could react.

The dwarves who remained looked at each other in confusion.

"How about you jump first, Fili?" Kili urged.

"Why didn't you jump first?" Philip asked back unhappily.

Bofur cautiously glanced forward at the abyss below, then quickly stepped back, patted his chest, and shook his head vigorously: "It's so high, I'll definitely be turned into a pulp if I fall down. Anyway, I won't jump, my heart can't take it!"

While the dwarves were hesitating, Thorin hesitated for a moment, then jumped down resolutely.

"Thorin!" the dwarves were startled.

Thorin is the heir of the Dwarf clan of Durin. If something unexpected happens, this trip to Lonely Mountain will be meaningless.

All the dwarves jumped down without hesitation.

Feeling the rapid fall and the strong wind, the dwarves screamed in fear, just when they thought they were going to fall to their death.

"Shock absorber to stop speed!" Dui's voice sounded below.

The dwarves instantly felt their falling speed slow down, and it stopped instantly when it was 20 centimeters from the ground. Before the dwarves could breathe a sigh of relief, they lost their support in the next second and fell face down to the ground.

The dwarves groaned and climbed up from the ground in a panic.

"This was so exciting that my heart almost stopped beating!" Balin, the oldest dwarf, took a breath and covered his chest with a lingering fear.

Gandalf was already standing beside Dewi, looking at the dwarves with a smile. "This is a rare opportunity to experience something. It would be a pity if we missed it. After all, not many people can survive a jump from such a height."

"Forget it. We dwarves only like to live on the earth and can't enjoy this kind of excitement at all." Bofur said with a look of rejection.

"By the way, where's Bilbo? Isn't he at the bottom of the abyss? Why can't I see him?"

"I'll use the crystal ball to take another look." Dui took out the crystal of truth again. He thought that after such a long time, Bilbo should take off the ring and lift his invisibility.
