Chapter 116 Moonlight
The dwarf elder nodded and said:
"That's no problem. This is what we planned from the beginning. We will rely on the outer fortresses to resist as much as possible, and then defend the final capital."

"So we stockpiled enough supplies in the capital from the beginning, including food, medicine, and weapons."

"The capital is big enough to accommodate all the dwarves. After all, it was designed as a refuge in the past."

During the era when the Lost Ones were rampant, the King of Turin expanded his capital, not to make it a strong shield to protect himself, but to accommodate more refugees.

"Just, my friend, do you really have a solution?"

Because Moon's previous plan was the same as theirs, they were willing to follow Moon's arrangements.

Gradually abandon the outer fortresses to delay and consume the enemy as much as possible.

But the two sides had differences in the final plan.

Moon said he had a way to turn the tables when the enemy attacked the royal capital in the end, and asked them to prepare to respond with a counterattack.

However, they planned to defend the capital until the last moment and never thought of counterattacking.

Because of the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, only by defending can the enemy be consumed to the maximum extent and time be extended.

Moen nodded and said:

"Just trust me."

The dwarf elder said in embarrassment:
"My friend, I sincerely regard you as a friend, but I also need to be responsible for the entire Seven Hills. I can't make such a decision based on just a few words from you."

"I believe the same is true for the rest of the people."

It is too crazy to launch a counterattack in front of the final capital. If we are not careful, the city may be destroyed and people may die.

Moon also knew that if he didn't say anything, it would be difficult for the other party to believe him.

But he couldn't say it out loud.

The power of enchantment was so terrifying that he couldn't be sure that there were no problems among the dwarves.

The other party has no intention of killing the angel-level being.

You can't reveal your cards too early, because these are the cards that will decide the outcome!
"Don't worry, my friend, you just need to follow your own pace."

The dwarf elder said doubtfully:

"If we follow our pace, what about you?"

It can be seen that the dwarf elder still wants to cooperate with Moon.

But he really couldn't make him do everything Moon said just by hearing a few words.

Moen smiled mysteriously:

"Don't worry about me, because you will know what to do when the time comes."

"Because I believe there is no dwarf who would not know what to do at that time."

"And then, can I walk around?"

The dwarf elder stretched out his hand and said:

"Please feel free to do as you please. I told you to move around anywhere here."

I took a look at the double moons hanging high outside the house.

Morn stopped the dwarf elder who was about to leave and asked:
"Friend, let me ask you something. Isn't today a double moon day?"

The dwarf elder raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"That's right, it's not a double moon day."

"Then why aren't you surprised at all? The dark moon is in the sky, right?"

The dwarf elder smiled and said:

"Yes, but this is not a very strange thing, my friend. It is not a double month day but a double month. Generally, it happens once every two or three years."

"Has this ever happened before?"

In response to Morn's question, the dwarf elder nodded and said:
"Yes, I have lived for more than 300 years. I think even those guys in their 40s and 50s have seen this kind of situation many times."

At this point, the dwarf elder also looked at Dark Moon and sighed:
"After all, it was only His Majesty the Moon King who left. Perhaps the Moon is remembering His Majesty."

Morn was silent.

The dwarf elder has left, and he still has a lot to do.

After quietly gazing at the cold moonlight in the courtyard for a long time.

Moon turned around and walked towards the secret passage under the guidance of Balin.

The cold moonlight was shining outside.

Morn, who was hiding under the eaves, asked Balin as if to divert attention:

"How is that elf girl now? I remember the Elders Council agreed to send her away, right?"

Balin nodded and said, "The elders did agree to let her leave for your sake, but for some reason, she is unwilling to leave. Still asking me where I am?"

"My friend, are you sure you don't want to see her? Elves rarely pay attention to you humans, although I can't appreciate a woman that tall without muscles."

"But, elves should be very consistent with the aesthetics of you long-legged people, right?"

"And now I don't think she loves you, but isn't this an opportunity?"

"Under the laws of the Eternal King, if you truly love each other, the Holy Tree will bless you."

Moon felt ashamed after hearing what Balin said.

Please, she gave the bow to Shadow without my knowledge!
How dare I get close to her!

"Then don't worry about her. I won't meet her anyway. In short, Balin, you must not let her get close to me."

Balin scratched his head and said:

"I really don't understand your thoughts. Shouldn't a normal long-legged person let me find a way to get closer to the elf girl?"

"By the way, do you know how big that elf is?"

"what happened?"

"It just suddenly occurred to me that elves are so long-lived and never age, so I was wondering if that elf is much older than the two of us combined?"

Moen thought back to his experience and said:

"It seems that her physical age should be between three hundred and five hundred years old?"

In the elves' cognition, a difference of one or two hundred years is not a difference, it is just being born one or two years earlier.

Balin was stunned. After a long while, he muttered:
"Oh my god, she's not only older than the two of us combined, she's older than the blacksmith shop my grandfather gave me!"

"For an elf, she is only a young adult."

"That doesn't change the fact that she's at least a three hundred year old elf!"

Dwarves are normally no more than 300 years old.

As Balin muttered, Morn, wearing a cloak, walked to the secret passage.

Watching Morn take off his cloak, Balin asked curiously:

"Why do you have to wear a cloak? It's not raining!"

Moen looked back at the moonlight behind him and said:
“I don’t know how to deal with it yet.”

"I don't understand what you are saying at all."

The dwarf Balin shook his head.

"It's okay, my friend, it's just my personal matter."

Moon turned around and asked:
"You said there was a mess behind the door, and then you found the tentacle?"

"It wasn't just one, it was many. And judging by the traces, it should be countless tentacles that emerged from the lake and attacked those guys!"

"But friend, don't you know about the monster in the lake?!"

Moen nodded and said:

“I don’t know, but I guessed the answer.”

"Really? Let's go then."

Balin raised the night light and walked forward.

And Moon suddenly stood still.

Then I suddenly thought in my heart:

"I, the Moon King, built this gate."

"Bahrain!"

"What's wrong?!"

"Let's go back!"

"what?!"

The dwarf, who had already walked some distance, was stunned.

But seeing Moon resolutely putting on his cloak and turning back, Balin had no choice but to follow him again.

Between two holly trees, in front of a quiet lake.

The cold moonlight shone on the door that appeared by itself.

Only four people know the answer to this door.
