Chapter 74 The Divine Spear, Aiolos
Gandalf took the spear, stroking it and examining it closely, exclaiming, "Duir, your luck is truly enviable!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this spear has an extraordinary origin. It is the spear of Gilgalad, the High King of the Noldor—Aegros. It fought alongside Gilgalad and even wounded the Dark Lord Sauron in the final battle of the Alliance. However, after Gilgalad's death on the battlefield, the spear disappeared without a trace."
"But I never expected to see it in the Goblin King's treasure today."
Upon hearing Gandalf's account, everyone was astonished, and their eyes all turned to the silver spear.
Even the dwarves, who were at odds with the elves, had heard of Gilgalad.
As the last High King of the Noldor and the founder of the kingdom of Lindon, Gilgalad and Elendil, the founder of the kingdom of Arnor, formed the last alliance between the Elves and the Men.
They assembled their army in the valley, crossed the Misty Mountains, marched south along the Anduin River, defeated Sauron's army in the Battle of Dagorad Plains, and then besieged Sauron's stronghold, Baradur.
During the siege of Baladur, Sauron was forced to emerge from the Black Tower to confront Gilgalad and Ilandir.
In the end, Gilgalad and Elendil both died in battle. Gilgalad's spear, Aegros, disappeared without a trace, and Elendil's holy sword, Narsir, was broken by Sauron.
At the height of Sauron's triumph, Isildur, son of Elendil, picked up a shard of the broken sword and severed the finger on which Sauron wore the One Ring. Sauron's body perished, and he was ultimately defeated.
Dui was overjoyed to receive the spear; he hadn't expected it to have such a history.
As the weapon of Gilgalad, the High King of the Noldor, the spear Aegros embodies the hard work of countless Elven artisans and represents the pinnacle of Elven craftsmanship, making it a truly divine weapon.
The spear Egolos is nearly two meters long. It is made of some unknown material, and is extremely hard and sharp, yet incredibly light.
Dui can hold it and wave it with one hand.
"Use it well. This is the only weapon stained with Sauron's blood that is still intact. It can intimidate many dark creatures," Gandalf said enviously.
"The spear is indestructible; it can even penetrate Sauron's dark armor. Perhaps it can even penetrate the scales of a dragon, becoming a key weapon in this victory at Lonely Mountain."
"I will." Dui nodded solemnly.
Although he already has the Flaming Sword, who would complain about having too many weapons?
Not to mention it was an indestructible divine spear.
He also discovered that while spells were indeed effective against orcs, they were largely ineffective against powerful Maiar-level creatures like dragons and balora.
He even had some doubts about whether the Killing Curse could really kill the dragon Smaug.
After all, the Killing Curse targets the soul, but creatures like dragons have extremely powerful souls. With Dui's current strength, the Killing Curse he casts probably wouldn't be fatal to a dragon.
Just like when Barty Crouch Jr. disguised himself as Moody with Polyjuice Potion in Harry Potter, he said that even if a fourth-year student mastered the Killing Curse and cast it on him, at most he would only make him bleed from the nose, and he wouldn't be able to kill him at all.
In this situation, artifacts crafted locally, such as the spear Eglós, can actually unleash greater power and inflict damage on dragons.
Dui put the divine spear Aiglos into his leather pouch, then looked at the cave full of gold and silver jewels.
Although he already has plenty of treasure, he won't give up on meeting him.
He picked up some money bags of varying ages from the ground and used the Seamless Stretch Spell to expand the space inside to about two meters.
Then, waving his wand, he filled all the treasure in the cave into his money bag, stuffing it into more than a dozen bags, and then put those bags into another bag.
The dwarves were stunned when they saw this. Such a huge treasure had been packed into a small bag.
Then what about their stuffing up of food earlier?
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 spatial dimension.
So the dwarves happily stuffed all their treasures and belongings into their money bags.
The two young dwarves, Kili and Fili, were even more astonished, reaching their entire hands into the bag before excitedly pointing at the hand that resembled a severed arm and exclaiming in surprise.
"Alright, we should get out of here," Dui called out to the group of dwarves who were excitedly fiddling with their money bags. "Don't forget we haven't found Bilbo yet!"
Upon hearing this, the group of dwarves instantly calmed down and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Oh right, we still haven't found Bilbo. I almost forgot about him."
Remembering poor Bilbo, everyone hurriedly left the treasure cave.
Looking at the steep and bottomless abyss, the group couldn't find a way down for a moment.
"This is too steep, how do we get down?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Jump," Dui said. "I'll catch you with magic."
Without saying a word, he jumped off.
Everyone was terrified by this sudden scene, watching as Dui fell into the abyss.
"Oh my God, he didn't fall to his death, did he?" the dwarf Bomb said in horror.
"Listen to Duir, gentlemen, I'll go first."
Gandalf chuckled and then, before anyone could react, jumped down as well.
The dwarves who remained in place looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Why don't you jump first, Philip?" Kiri urged.
"Why didn't you jump first?" Philip retorted irritably.
Beaufort cautiously glanced down into the abyss, then quickly retreated, patting his chest and shaking his head vigorously: "It's so high, a fall would turn me into mincemeat. I'm not jumping, my heart can't take it!"
While the dwarves hesitated, Thorin hesitated for a moment before resolutely jumping down.
"Thorin!" The dwarves were startled.
Thorin is the heir of the Dulin dwarves; if anything happens to him, this trip to Lonely Mountain will be meaningless.
Without further hesitation, all the dwarves jumped down.
Feeling the rapid descent and the gust of wind, the dwarves screamed in terror, just as they thought they were about to fall to their deaths.
"Stop the speed by reducing shock!" Dui's voice rang out from below.
The dwarves instantly felt their descent slow down, stopping abruptly when they were twenty centimeters from the ground. Before they could even catch their breath, they lost their support and crashed face-first to the ground.
The dwarves groaned and scrambled to their feet.
"This was so thrilling! My heart almost stopped!" The eldest dwarf, Balin, gasped for breath, clutching his chest with lingering fear.
Gandalf was already standing beside Dui, watching the group of dwarves with a smile. "This is a rare opportunity to experience something like this. It would be a real shame to miss it, since not many people can jump from such a height and survive."
"Forget it, we dwarves only like living on the ground, we can't enjoy this kind of excitement at all," Bofer said with a look of rejection.
"By the way, where's Bilbo? Isn't he at the bottom of the abyss? I haven't seen him."
"Let me check again with the crystal." Dui took out the True Knowledge Crystal again, thinking that after so much time, Bilbo should have taken off the Ring and broken his invisibility.
