There are hundreds of millions or even billions of gold coins in the Gushan treasury. It is unknown how long it will take to count them, to calculate the exact number and complete the distribution in the contract.

However, as the news of Smaug's death continued to spread in the north, its impact began to slowly become apparent.

First of all, the person most obviously affected was not anyone else, but Wayne's pet, Deathclaw Robin.

After Wayne peeled off the dragon's skin and collected dragon teeth, dragon claws and other materials suitable for making equipment, the remaining hundreds of tons of flesh, blood and bones became Robin's food.

This doomsday monster seemed to have really gained a lot of benefits from Smaug's corpse. For a whole week, Robin was unwilling to do anything. He just lay on Smaug's body and feasted on it every day, occasionally making excited roars. The entire huge dragon corpse was quickly devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Through the induction between master and pet, after eating Smaug's flesh and bones, Wayne also noticed that Robin's body seemed to be slowly getting stronger, and some strange changes were occurring inside his body.

Perhaps, just like in many fantasy stories, by drinking dragon blood and devouring dragon flesh, the dragon genes in the body were awakened and unexpected abilities were gained.

However, this change does not happen overnight. Just like a growing child, it takes time to verify what the child will look like in the future.

However, in order to thank Thorin for keeping his promise and not letting any unpleasant things happen, which would damage the relationship between both parties and cause unnecessary trouble.

Wayne deliberately cut off Smaug's head and processed it with a special witcher potion. He gave this trophy, which represented honor and revenge, to Durin's clan and to the new King under the Mountain, as a gift to enhance their friendship.

Thorin gladly accepted the gift and was very happy. As the future King under the Mountain, he was at a stage where he lacked prestige and foundation. If he could get Smaug's head to demonstrate his bravery and achievements, it would indeed be a rare treasure.

If anyone is to blame, he should blame his grandfather. The previous King Under the Mountain was too wasteful. The dwarves of Lonely Mountain had finally escaped from the north to the south and retained some of their people. But because of his grandfather, the dwarf warriors had to fight the orcs of Moria head-on, and they fought with Azog and both sides suffered heavy losses, losing more than half of the population that they had managed to preserve.

In the end, even he, a dwarf prince, had to work for humans to barely supplement the dwarfs' lives.

Now, as the new King under the Mountain, he has a long way to go if he wants to restore the glory of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom hundreds of years ago.

However, it is worth mentioning that Thorin's cousin Dain Ironfoot was really loyal. After Smaug was killed, Thorin sent a letter, and this dwarf with golden beard and hair immediately brought hundreds of his men from the Iron Hills and came to the Lonely Mountain in a mighty manner, carrying a lot of fine wine and food with him to support his brother.

After some drinks, Wayne got to know this generous dwarf and was highly praised by Ironfoot Dane.

He called the witcher who defeated Smaug a great hero, and strongly supported Thorin's decision to give one third of the treasure of Lonely Mountain to Wayne, without taking the terrifying amount of gold in Lonely Mountain seriously at all.

In order to help Thorin guard the wealth of the Lonely Mountain and prevent evil forces from coveting the gold here, Dain Ironfoot took three hundred dwarf warriors and settled down directly in the Lonely Mountain. He began to repair the walls and gates of the Lonely Mountain King's City and restart the furnace and various facilities inside.

During this period, Wayne also received a special mission, which was to return the necklace of King Thranduil's deceased wife of the Woodland Kingdom for Thorin and end the feud between the dwarves and the Silvan elves.

This decision made Wayne look at Thorin's demeanor with new eyes. Perhaps after breaking an arm, killing Azog with his own hands, avenging his relatives, taking back the Lonely Mountain, overcoming the influence of dragon disease, and being free from the temptation of the One Ring, and fulfilling most of his life's ideals, the life of the dwarf prince had changed drastically.

As the expedition team has come along, Wayne's actions may have really changed Thorin's fate and allowed him to bid farewell to the tragic ending in the original book. As long as he can survive the danger of the Battle of Five Armies, he may be able to become an excellent king and lead the dwarves of Lonely Mountain to glory again.

Everyone was celebrating for him as a hero. Wayne was treated with unprecedented respect and hospitality, even by the refugees from Long Lake Town who were temporarily staying here.

As the culprit who destroyed the Valley Kingdom, the residents of Changhu Town also have a blood feud with this evil dragon, but no one has been able to defeat this evil dragon, so they have always buried the hatred in their hearts.

After obtaining the necklace of his deceased wife, King Thranduil behaved very generously. He congratulated Thorin on his succession to the throne of King Under the Mountain and decided to put aside past grudges with the dwarves.

If the dwarves are willing in the future, he is willing to restore the past trade relations, share what they have, and work together to maintain stability in the north and deal with the evil forces in the north.

In the face of the kindness and generosity of the Elf King, Wayne immediately gave high praise. Both parties had a great time and praised each other, which was quite interesting.

The banquet of the woodland elves was also very joyful. In this luxurious palace, there were handsome men and beautiful women everywhere. Everyone held fine wine in their hands and drank happily.

At this time, the role of reputation was immediately revealed. Facing Wayne, the handsome elf, the hero who defeated the northern disaster dragon Smaug, several cheerful and beautiful female elves immediately expressed their affection for him. Wayne did not deliberately refuse, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

The customs of the Silvan elves are different from those of the Sindar elves in Rivendell. The Silvan elves live in the dangerous Black Forest, often fighting various monsters and orcs, and always taking the risk of death. They are more open to emotional issues and do not pursue loyalty to love.

The next day, when Wayne woke up from the bed of two beautiful elves, the elf prince Legolas brought him a special piece of information.

Through the special channels of the Sylvan elves, they learned a piece of news.

Azog's son Bolger replaced his father as the leader of the northern orcs. He is now gathering a large army in the Grey Mountains in the north. In the future, he will most likely go to the Lonely Mountain or the Woodland Kingdom to wipe out these enemies who have been confronting the northern orcs for thousands of years.

The number of the Orc army this time was beyond many people's imagination. It could almost be said that all the Orcs from the Grey Mountains and Misty Mountains were gathered together and moved in full force. It was said that the number could reach tens of thousands, which was many times that of the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and the Woodland Elves.

Although it is unknown how long it will take, if this war fails, the entire northern part of Middle-earth will fall into the hands of the orcs.

King Thranduil did not hide anything about this news. After the banquet, he gave Wayne a large amount of daily necessities and asked him to return to Lonely Mountain to tell Thorin and the dwarves about the supplies and the news of the orcs.

Faced with the northern community of orcs, the elves and dwarves must unite to have any hope of victory.
