Chapter 248: Born Animagus (1/2)

Chapter 248 Born Animagus

Bang!

Everyone fled into the house, and just as they were about to close the door, a huge bear head squeezed in. The dwarves who were blocking the door had to use all their strength to push it out.

"We are saved." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Gandalf and asked, "Is that the skin-changer?"

"Yes, his name is Beorn, and he is the owner of this house.

Sometimes, he is a big black bear, and sometimes, he is a strong man.

The behavior of the black bear is unpredictable, but the man is reasonable."

"Isn't this animagus?" Aaron widened his eyes in surprise.

Animagus is a profound magic that can transform oneself into a certain animal while retaining one's own magical power.

But this magic is difficult, and it may even take several years to learn. The number of Animagus registered on the surface can be counted on one hand.

But the skin-changer seems to be a natural Animagus, which really makes him envious.

"What Animagus?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"Anyway, Beorn doesn't particularly like dwarves, so you'd better not show any hostility to him."

"What about humans? He doesn't hate humans, does he?" Aaron asked.

"It depends on the situation. Humans have good and bad sides, right?

But Beorn won't make things difficult for a child."

"That's good."

"He must have been cast under an evil spell." Oyin said firmly.

"Don't be silly." Gandalf glared at him, "No one can cast a spell on him except himself.

Okay, let's get some sleep, it'll be safe here tonight."

......

The black bear wandered outside the house, intimidating the surrounding orcs.

"Launch the attack now and kill the dwarves while they sleep."

"No." Azog rejected his men's proposal directly, "There are monsters guarding them, we have to kill them on the road."

At this time, a strange noise suddenly came from the woods, and an orc riding a wolf stopped in front of Azog, "They are gathering in Dol Guldur, and the master summons you to see him."

Hearing this, Azog gritted his teeth.

He couldn't disobey the master's order, so he had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​killing the dwarves and ride the white wolf to Dol Guldur.

Inside the house, grunts came one after another.

Aaron looked at the ceiling and silently opened his personal panel.

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic power: 8543 (intermediate magician, the end of most wizards' lives)]

[Talent: rare in a century (magic power increases by 3 points every day)]

[Items: Moon Drop (can remove any negative spell), Resurrection Potion (can revive any creature that dies within an hour), Magic Carpet, Unactivated Dragon Slayer Crystal]

[Magic points: 290]

Looking at the value in the last column, Aaron couldn't help but sigh.

I miss Hogwarts so much! After nearly three months of travel, I only have less than 300 magic points. The gains from signing in are not even as good as the increase in magic power.

"System, open the mall."

"Okay."

[Magic: x-on:Transfiguration (1000 magic points, including Animagus); x-on:Flying (100 magic points, flying speed depends on personal strength); x-on:Illusion Projection (700 magic points, create an illusion of yourself, long-distance projection); x-on:Charm (500 magic points, but ineffective for people with strong will); x-on:Soul Out of Body (300 magic points)]

[Materials: x-on:Phoenix Feather (30 magic points); x-on:Dragon Blood (20 magic points); x-on:Mandrake (5 magic points); x-on:Bezoar (1 magic point); x-on:Rhino Horn (3 magic points)]

[Items: x-on:Captain Jack's Compass (200 magic points, pointing to what the owner wants most); x-on:Magic Crystal (100 magic points, with powerful magic power, can power the magic circle); x-on:Wizard Chess (1 magic point); x-on:Emerald of Jilani (50 magic points, the person who gets the gem will be doomed); x-on:Wine (2 magic points)]

During this period, Aaron refreshed the mall from time to time and filled in some blanks.

But looking at the magic in the magic category except for Transfiguration, Aaron felt particularly entangled.

He wanted the illusion projection but couldn't afford it. Charm was not very suitable for men, and the price was a bit expensive, so he ruled it out for the time being. It might be useful after the soul leaves the body, but it was meaningless now.

As for the last flying in the sky, he was somewhat interested, but he brought the magic carpet here, so there was no need to spend money on this magic for the time being.

The blank column in the item category was refreshed with a bottle of wine, which was speechless, but better than nothing.

"Alas! Buy Captain Jack's compass." Aaron made a difficult decision, but seeing the three-digit magic points turned into two-digit, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Aaron opened the compass, glanced at the swaying pointer on it, and forced a smile at the corner of his mouth.

With this treasure, the chance of completing the contract can be increased by at least 30%.

After completing the system tasks, the magic points will become four digits, and he won't have to spend as stingily as he does now.

Putting away the compass, Aaron changed to a comfortable position and prepared to sleep.

But when he turned over, he happened to see Bilbo playing with a golden ring.

"What is that?"

Bilbo was startled and immediately held the ring in his palm.

"Nothing."

"I saw it all, a golden ring."

"I said it's nothing." Bilbo's tone became heavier, and he looked at Aaron embarrassedly after reacting, "Sorry, I... this..."

Aaron frowned, "Can I take a look?"

Bilbo's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a long time before taking out the ring.

But when he handed it to Aaron, he was particularly reluctant, as if he had handed over half of his life.

Aaron picked up the ring, and suddenly felt a sense of possession in his heart, but this desire was quickly suppressed by him.

"Magic ring?"

"Thanks to it, I escaped from the Orc city." Bilbo said excitedly, "It can make me invisible."

Aaron shook his head and returned the ring to Bilbo.

"A thief who can become invisible is definitely a top-notch thief.

But the function of this ring is definitely not just invisibility. It has extremely powerful magic, and even I feel a little depressed.

For the sake of friends, I will give you a piece of advice. If you want to keep this ring, don't let others know that you have it."

"What does this mean?"

Aaron snorted lightly, "This ring has the power to seduce people. Most people will subconsciously want to possess it when they see it, and they will even do everything for it."

"Not that bad!" Bilbo said in surprise, "Didn't you return the ring to me, and I am willing to show it to you."

"That's because my mind has special protection, and the magic on the ring can almost be ignored.

And you are not an ordinary person. Bilbo Baggins' mind is much purer than that of ordinary people, so he can resist its temptation.

But don't use this ring if you can, otherwise you will sooner or later become a slave to the ring, or even mentally ill, and split personality is not impossible."

Bilbo swallowed his saliva, thinking that the original owner of the ring, Gollum, was always talking to himself, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he believed this sentence in his heart.

"Why don't you tell Gandalf!"

"You decide this, I won't interfere." Aaron said meaningfully, "But if the gray wizard can't stand the temptation of the ring, then I suggest you keep it, or... destroy it directly."

......

The next morning.

The people of the expedition woke up from sleep one after another.

The owner of this house, Beorn, turned into a human form, a middle-aged man with lush hair, who looked a bit like a bear.

He was not angry because everyone stayed in his house without permission. Instead, he prepared a rich breakfast for them.

"You are Thorin Oakenshield. Tell me why Azog the Destroyer is chasing you."

"Because of the arm." Aaron took a big sip of milk. "Thorin cut off Azog's left arm in a tragic war."

"Is that so?" Beorn pondered, "You should have cut off his head."

"I thought so too, but he ran too fast at the time." Thorin said angrily, and then looked at Beorn, "How did you know Azog?"

"My people were the first to live in the mountains until the Orcs (Orcs) attacked from the north. Azog killed most of my family, and some became his slaves.

Not working for him, you understand? It's for entertainment.

It's a pleasure for him to lock up and torture the skin-changer."

"Villains are usually so perverted. It would be abnormal if he served you with good food and drink." Aaron said with a pout. "Your people shouldn't be weak, why can the orcs..."

"They are numerous and good at conspiracy, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one left among the skinchangers."

"I see, evil people often do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."

"You have to reach the Lonely Mountain before the end of autumn, and now there is almost no time."

"So we must go through Mirkwood." Gandalf said, "That's the fastest way."

"Darkness shrouds the forest, and decay spreads under the trees.

The Orcs of Moria and the wizards of Dol Guldur have formed an alliance. I won't take this risk unless I have to."

"Let's take the Elven Road, which is safe."

"Safe?" Beorn doubted these two words, "The wood elves of Mirkwood are different from other people of the same race. They are not as wise but more dangerous."

Hearing this, Aaron looked at Thorin, "The elves he mentioned are not..."

"They are the ones who watched the dwarves' disaster with indifference." Thorin said coldly.

"Haha!" Aaron's mouth twitched, and he looked at Gandalf with a smirk, "Excuse me, can we take a detour?

I don't mean anything else, I just want to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

"Gaius, what do you mean?" Thorin said unhappily.

"You know it in your heart.

You didn't show much respect to King Elrond. If you meet those elves in the jungle, who knows if you will fight with them."

"No." Thorin gritted his teeth and said, "I can still tell which is more important."

Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. Along the way, he had seen Thorin's stubbornness. He got stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out. The credibility of his words was not even 50%.

"Personally, I suggest taking a detour."

"If possible, I would like to do so!" Gandalf said helplessly, "But if you take a detour, you have to walk at least 200 kilometers to the north, or twice the distance to the south."

Hearing this, Aaron was speechless, "That means there is no other choice."

"You can say that."

"Even if you don't take a detour, it's meaningless. This area is full of Orcs, and their numbers are growing. If you just walk, you will never reach the forest alive." Beorn stood up and said, "I don't like dwarves. They are greedy, blind, and always ignore those who they think are inferior to themselves.

But I hate Orcs more. What do you need?"

Everyone looked at each other and thought of the dozen horses outside.

If you can't get to the forest by walking, riding a horse will do!

Beorn did not refuse this request. He generously lent them the horse and took the initiative to transform into a black bear to escort them all the way to Mirkwood.

After riding for hundreds of kilometers, they arrived at Mirkwood before dark.

"The Elf Gate," Gandalf said, "is the way through Mirkwood."

"There are no Orcs nearby, we are lucky." Dwalin said.

"It's not that we are lucky, but that we have someone to protect us." Aaron looked at the black bear on the distant mountaintop, "If it weren't for Beorn, our journey would have been much more difficult."

"Release the ponies! Let them return to their masters."

Gandalf walked into Mirkwood, pushed aside a vine, and saw a red mark.

"Are you going to Rhudol Highmountain?" Gandalf murmured, and hurried out of the forest, "Leave my horse behind, I still have use for it."

"Are you leaving us?" Bilbo asked worriedly.

"I wouldn't do it if I hadn't had to.

You've changed, Bilbo Baggins." Gandalf looked at him with relief and said, "You're no longer the Hobbit you were when you left the Shire."

"I have to tell you, I found something in the orc tunnel." Bilbo said, reaching into his pocket to take out the ring, but thinking of the crisis that might come next, he decided to keep the ring for the time being.

"What did you find?"

"My courage."

"Great." Gandalf raised his eyebrows, "You will need it."

"Aaron, are you interested in going to the tomb of the Witch King of Angmar with me?"

Aaron's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the heavy face of King Elrond and his men when they saw the sword of the Witch King of Angmar in Rivendell. He immediately refused and said, "I will not go even if you kill Baggins."

"Kill Baggins? I knew you would say that." Gandalf said speechlessly, "Then I ask you to protect them."

"Do your best."

"You can't do your best. There are not only elves in this dense forest, but also other things.

I don't know why you have been hiding all the time Hide your magic, but we are close to the Lonely Mountain and will soon face the dragon. You can't hide it after all.

If it really comes to a last resort, I hope you..."

"I will take action." Aaron pondered, "but I can only guarantee that it is within my ability."

"Thank you." Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Thorin, "I will wait for you at the watchtower of Erebor in front. Be careful to keep the map and key. Without me, you should not enter the Lonely Mountain.

In addition, this is not just the Green Forest. The air in the forest is turbid and makes people hallucinate. It will invade your consciousness and lead you astray.

You must follow the road and don't take a detour. If you go the wrong way, you will never find the way. "
