Chapter 1186 The Sword Is Drawn

"Ah? Father..." The three children of Bud's family opened their eyes wide when they heard the words, and looked at Bud in surprise.

The dwarves weren't much better, including Sorin, they all looked back and forth at Anyang and Bard in shock, but they understood just by looking at Anyang's certainty and the strangeness that flashed on Bard's face.

"He is actually the descendant of the river valley city lord Gillian. I didn't expect that the descendant of Gillian would be so downcast. He was also a famous archer in the world!" Balin stared blankly at Bud. He said to himself, "No wonder your archery is so good!"

"Gillian? The one who shot several arrows at Smaug, but didn't hit Smaug until the last black arrow was used up? Could this be called the sharpshooter?" Thorin's eyes were full of irony.

"Even if he can hit an arrow, Ilubo and River Valley City won't be reduced to ruins!"

Hearing this, Bud's eyes suddenly froze, and he asked: "Are you at the scene?"

"This is a story that all dwarves know." Thorin said solemnly, "Gillion missed the opportunity to kill Smaug, causing the disaster of Riverdale and Iruba."

Bud's son said: "Then you should know that he didn't miss the shot. In fact, he suddenly shot an arrow and shot off a scale on the left wing of the dragon. Just one more arrow can kill it. it!"

"Haha!" Dwalin laughed. "It's just a fairy tale, boy."

Baine looked angry, but he did not argue with the dwarves, but looked at his father and said, "Father, is what this wizard said true? Are we really the descendants of Lord Gillian? Is that the Gillian City Lord you often tell us about?"

Bud was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know what he's talking about, and I don't know if what he's saying is true or not, including when he says he's a wizard."

Anyang smiled indifferently, and said to Baine: "I believe that story is true, boy, there is indeed a scale defect under Smaug's left wing, that is the only defect in his body."

Hearing this, everyone present was surprised.

"Have you seen it?" Bain said.

"Are you sure there's a missing scale on Smaug?" Bud stared straight at him.

"Have you seen that monster?" Dwalin asked.

"Yes." Anyang nodded, "I can say to all of you, yes. But I would like to say to Mr. Bud that the reputation of Lord Gillian has been tarnished by the world for too long. A warrior who fights dragons with mortal body bears such an insult, but only you can wash him off this stain, so I came to you."

Bud hesitated, looked at his three children, still gritted his teeth and said: "I am not a descendant of Gillian, and I can't follow you to slay dragons, it is tantamount to courting death! And a little different Shen will also drag the entire Changhu City into the sea of ​​fire!"

"Dad!" Bane shouted instinctively, but he didn't say much more sensible.

"It seems that your father doesn't want to take risks, probably because he still has you guys, and you have a good father." Anyang said to Bain, then glanced at Bud's two daughters, pursed his lips and said, " I can understand how you feel, really, Mr. Budd, although I have no children, but I can understand it. If you really don't want to take the risk, we can also discuss the second strategy."

"What?" Bud frowned and looked at them.

"Let me introduce myself again. Apart from being a wizard, I'm also a skilled archer. I can hit every shot. You can also give me the black arrow you saved, and I'll cleanse your ancestors from the stigma!"

"I said, I'm not a descendant of Gillian, and I don't know what black arrows are!" Bud said with a bad expression, "and I will never allow you to provoke that evil dragon, dozens of people in Great Lake City. The peace of the year is not easy, and you don't know how terrifying the dragon is! If you wake it up and provoke it, the entire Long Lake City will be turned into a sea of ​​fire under its attack!"

After a short pause, he continued: "You have no right to break the peace of Great Lake City, and you have no right to gamble with thousands of lives in the entire Great Lake City for your ambitions!"

"You said we were gambling?" Thorin asked.

"Yes, don't think I don't know your purpose, dwarves. You want to enter the Lonely Mountain, you want to get back the Arken Silmarillion, you want revenge, you want to take back your homeland, and you are willing to die for this! But the Great Lake City's The residents have nothing to do with your dreams, they are innocent, and it was the greed of the dwarf king that once affected Riverdale, this time I can't let the tragedy happen again!"

"You said that it was our king who got you involved!" Dwarin immediately glared at Bard.

"Stop talking, Devalin, and Thorin." Anyang stood up, wrapped in a blanket, and said to Bud, "This time you are wrong, we didn't intend to kill the dragon, we brought one The thief, a silent hobbit thief, we were going to steal the Arken Silmarillion, but it was something else that prompted us to take the risk."

"Stealing the Akon Silmaril may also wake up the dragon. If he wakes up, the residents of Long Lake City will also usher in disaster!" Bud reminded coldly.

"Yes, but please listen to me, child." Anyang pretended to be an immortal wizard in front of Bud, who was older than him, and said, "We have to make this decision."

"I have to?"

"Yes." Anyang nodded, "It is the dark power, the dark power that has been revived."

"Am I going to believe your nonsense?"

"Gundaba's Orc Legion has been secretly preparing for a war, and even if I killed their commander Asog before, I still can't stop them; the Dark Lord is brewing in the abandoned castle of Dole, Togo The soul of the man, his power is reviving; evil creatures and the dark haze have invaded the Woodland kingdom, and the whole forest is controlled by them; The Nazgul tombs have been probed, and I'm sure they'll soon discover that the Nazgul have been re-summoned; and the Mark of the Eye on the edge of the Black Forest..."

Anyang said a lot with a dignified expression, took a deep breath, and said: "Asog has been loyal to Sauron, Smaug's position has never been clear, the war is coming, if it joins the dark camp, Middle-earth will die. There will be more than hundreds of people in Great Lake City!"

Bud opened his mouth, but said nothing.

It's not that he didn't want to refute, and he didn't immediately believe Anyang, but Anyang was too strong when he said this series of words, and he presented too much evidence, and it was reasonable. These words.

"How can I trust you?" Bud finally spoke, paused, and then said, "And even so, if the fire dragon gets angry, all the residents of Long Lake City will be buried in the fire! You will kill all of them. Have you consulted their opinions on whether the fire dragon will join the dark camp?"

Anyang raised his right hand and said, "Didn't you doubt whether I was a wizard before? I'll prove it to you!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud bang in the room.

He held a fireball in the palm of his hand, and the light illuminated the dark corner, and also reflected the wide-open, surprised and curious eyes of several children.

Anyang grasped with five fingers, and the fireball disappeared.

"Now you are sure." He looked at Bard, "I did not decide this matter alone, but also one of the guardians of Middle-earth, the wizard Gandalf the Grey, and the elf Lothlorien. Lord Lady Galadriel. We will do it whether you agree or not, the only difference is whether you draw the bow or I draw the bow!"

"I don't agree, what will you do?" Bud asked gloomily.

"Take the black arrow from you."

"I don't have a black arrow!"

"Oh? Is it? Then I just borrowed this black iron stick for me to use, don't you mind?" Anyang raised his head and stretched out his hand to take a long, pitch-black arrow from the beam, "We paid for it. "

"Black Arrow!" Sorin's eyes suddenly froze.

"Oh!" Bain, Balin's son, also called out, covering his mouth, and what the wizard said turned out to be true.

"Give it back to me!" Bud shouted angrily.

"I also hope to give it back to you." Anyang said lightly, and then threw the black arrow on the old wooden table, "You should think about it, it is to eradicate this hidden danger for the Middle-earth world, and for your ancestor Gillian. The city lord cleans up his stigma and becomes a dragon slaying hero, or hides in this place for your children, being a fisherman who may be killed by the city lord’s jealousy at any time!”

After saying that, he tightened the blanket and stopped talking.

Bud was silent, and so were his three children, and neither the dwarves nor the hobbits spoke.

After a long time, Bud said: "Before doing this, I want to ask you, do you have any way to ensure the safety of the residents of Long Lake City?"

"Sorry, no." Anyang said lightly, "But I believe in your archery, I also believe in my archery, and even more in our plan, the possibility of the evil dragon destroying the city is not high!"

"You are ignoring your life!" Bud said angrily again.

"No, on the contrary, I am saving people, otherwise the Dark Lord will be countless times more brutal than me."

"I can't join you, and you can't succeed, because I won't allow you to do this!" Bud said angrily, then turned and walked out, "I'll get you weapons, and then you'll be Get out of here! You are not welcome here!"

"No!" Anyang said flatly, but it was this word that made Bud stop.

"What do you think?" he turned around.

"Tomorrow, we will leave tomorrow. I smelled the smell of prying eyes around me, and someone is watching here. But when we leave, we will take the wind and black arrows with us. As for you, I respect your wishes!" Anyang said suddenly The atmosphere in the house became tense.
