Chapter 264: Of Course We Have to Run Away After Digging for Treasure

"What is your purpose?" Smaug showed some interest, "Tell me."

Aaron was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to respond.

Want your dragon's life? You definitely can't say that, otherwise you will just tear your face off.

Want the Arkenstone? You can't say that either, it's no different from pulling teeth out of a dragon's mouth.

As if seeing Aaron's embarrassment, Bilbo immediately said: "Smaug has unparalleled wealth. We just want to see your majesty and see if you are as great as the ancient legends. We don't believe those stories..."

Before he finished speaking, Smaug took a step and walked out of the sea of ​​gold coins, revealing his true attitude in front of the two.

"So what now?"

Bilbo looked at the huge dragon body in front of him, which was tens of meters wide without wings. His legs kept shaking. He resisted the urge to faint and trembled as he exclaimed: "It's true. Those stories and ballads are far from showing your ferocity, the evil dragon Smaug!"

"Yes! It's true." Aaron was a little shocked. He wondered if his dragon cub would grow up so big in the future, but he was also very happy because there was indeed a small piece of Smaug's left chest that was not covered by dragon scales. That was a fatal weakness.

"You flatter me well. Since you came with the dragon speaker, I can also spare your life."

"That's great." Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief, but Smaug's next words made his heart rise directly to his throat.

"But I need you to answer a few questions." Smaug sneered, "You are familiar with my name, but I have never smelled your scent.

Excuse my curiosity, who are you? Where are you from?"

"Bilbo." Aaron showed him the compass in his hand, the needle pointed to the front of the two people, it is estimated that Smaug brought the Arkenstone when he moved.

The two exchanged glances, Bilbo was responsible for delaying time, and Aaron was responsible for finding the Arkenstone.

"I came from the bottom of the mountain." Bilbo adjusted his breathing as much as possible, "I climbed over thousands of mountains and ridges to get here."

"Admirable." Smaug circled around Bilbo, and the golden torrent moved with it.

Aaron sadly found that the needle was shaking again, pointing to Smaug's body.

Alpaca, snatching food from the dragon's mouth, is it so exciting?

"What else do you have?"

"I am... the lucky follower, the riddle maker."

"Cute name, keep going." Smaug put his face close to Bilbo, his mouth full of fangs emitting a foul stench, making people want to vomit.

"Barrel rider."

"Barrels are getting more and more interesting." Smaug laughed teasingly, and his huge body moved again.

But this time the compass needle pointed to the feet of the two people. Through the golden gap, a milky white light could be vaguely seen. The two were almost sure that the Arken gem was there.

"What about your dwarf friends? Where are they hiding?"

"Dwarves?" Bilbo pretended to be puzzled and shook his head: "No, no, no, there are no dwarves here, you are wrong."

"I am not wrong." Smaug set his eyes on Aaron, "There have been very few dragon speakers for several epochs, but each one is a wise prophet among humans and a genius with great learning talent."

Aaron:......

Ah... I am flattered, really flattered.

Bilbo also looked at Aaron with sudden realization. No wonder this kid knows so much and is so strong.

Prophet, wizard, evil dragon Smaug personally certified.

"Dragon speaker, you should know that they are using you.

They let you do bad things, but they hide outside." Smaug said, "Don't think of deceiving me, and don't think of stealing a single piece here, otherwise I won't let you go."

"You are really wrong, awesome Smaug!" Bilbo admired respectfully.

"As a thief and liar, you are very polite." Smaug said quite bluntly, "But I know the smell and taste of dwarves, I know better than anyone, and I know they come for gold.

They love gold like flies love rotten meat. I knew there would be such a day, and those hypocritical dwarves would climb up the mountain one day."

Smaug said, and slapped it with one claw.

Gold coins splashed, and the Arken gem also appeared in front of the two for the first time, but the next moment it slid down the stairs.

Bilbo subconsciously wanted to chase, but Aaron held his arm tightly.

"Ah!" Smaug looked at the two of them with amusement, "It seems that you have found the Heart of the Mountain.

You want to help Oakenshield, the abominable dwarf usurper, who sent you to get the Arkenstone, right?"

"No, no, no..." Bilbo said hurriedly.

"Yes." Aaron shrugged, looked at Bilbo's confused eyes, and explained: "Don't play dumb at this point, dragons are not fools, they have wisdom comparable to humans."

"Humph! I guessed his conspiracy a long time ago.

But it doesn't matter, Oakenshield's plan will not succeed, darkness is coming, flooding every corner of the world. "

"Necromancer Sauron?"

"You know?" Smaug looked at Aaron with some surprise, "Yes, of course you know.

However, Sauron's magic power has not yet fully recovered, and he can only stay in Dol Guldur to recover.

But his vanguard will set off soon, and Lonely Mountain is their first stop. "

"Aren't you in Lonely Mountain?" Aaron asked puzzledly, "Do they dare to come?"

"Of course they don't dare." Smaug showed a sneer, "But I don't need to stop them, and I'm too lazy to stop them, as long as they don't touch my treasure."

"Heh!" Aaron shook his head, "Gandalf is right, you will cooperate with them."

"Gandalf? When did a mere gray wizard dare to meddle in my affairs?"

"Who knows? The guardian of the world always seems to like to worry about nothing."

"You are being used. "Smaug teased, "Cowardly Oakenshield has measured the value of your lives, and you are worthless."

"No, you are lying." Bilbo couldn't help but say.

"What did he promise you? Give you a share of the treasure?

He said it as if the treasure was his. "

"We know." Aaron chuckled, "Before we came, we knew what we would face. To be honest, the person next to me fainted after knowing that he might see a dragon.

But Thorin did not hide it from us and allowed us to withdraw halfway. And just now, there were dwarves who advised us not to force it. If we don't want to, we can turn back. It's not shameful. "

Smaug was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two of them meaningfully, "In order to see Oakenshield's pain, I thought about letting you take the gem, so that you can see the gem destroy him, devour his soul, and make him crazy. "

Hearing this, the two looked at each other.

"Is the Arken gem so ominous? "Aaron frowned.

"Thorne was a wise monarch before he got the Heart of the Mountain, but after he got it, he quickly became arrogant and looked down on everyone. He even thought he was superior and deserved congratulations from all directions.

If I hadn't occupied Erebor, he might have declared war on the elves because he didn't intend to return the white gem to them.

Do you understand? The Arkenstone has no magic power, but its influence may be more terrible than Sauron's One Ring. "

Aaron subconsciously looked at the ring in Bilbo's left hand, "Is this the One Ring? What effect does it have?"

"You will understand after you try it on." Smaug said temptingly, "But now I have changed my mind, and the game ends here.

The Arkenstone is there. If you don't take it, you can leave safely. If you take it, I will..."

"The gem flies over. "Aaron decisively used the flying spell, and the Arkenstone flew out from a pile of gold coins and was caught in his hand.

If you don't take it, what a joke?

The first system task is this broken stone. If you don't take it, the suffering for more than half a year will be in vain. As an aspiring young man who is about to release his ideals, he can't swallow this breath.

And the second system task is to slay the dragon! Sooner or later, they will have to tear each other apart, why are you so polite now?

"This is the Arkenstone!" Aaron smacked his lips, "I heard that it was dug out from the ground. It feels good to the touch. It looks big and white.

But to put it bluntly, it's a glowing stone!"

"Aaron." Bilbo poked his arm and swallowed hard, "I think we should run, right now, right away."

Bang!

Smaug pressed a claw on a pillar, blocked the stairs with his huge body, and squinted at the two of them.

"You made your choice, right? "

"Obviously." Aaron tossed the Arken gem in his hand, "The contract signed voluntarily must be completed. This is one of the ancestral precepts of our family."

"What a pity." Smaug sighed regretfully, a bright red light appeared on his abdomen, and the scorching temperature continued to extend to his neck, "The Dragon Speaker should be the most natural ally of the dragon, but you did not seize the opportunity."

Roar!

The fierce dragon flame spewed out of Smaug's mouth. Aaron waved his right hand vigorously, and the gold coins beside him formed a golden torrent and hit its left face.

The flame deflected more than ten degrees and shot to the left of the two.

But even so, the scorching heat made the two feel palpitations.

"Wizard." Smaug roared angrily, and a pair of vertical pupils stared at Aaron coldly, "Your magic is a little different from the others. Who are you?"

"Uh...that's not important." Aaron said embarrassedly.

"You're right, it's really not important. "Smaug retracted his neck, opened his mouth and bit at him at a very fast speed.

"Petrify all."

Aaron decisively cast the petrification spell, but a ball of light red light hit Smaug's head and only paused his movements for a moment.

"Damn! This magic resistance is too high." Aaron cursed inwardly, but his hands did not slow down at all, dragging Bilbo to avoid the dragon's fangs.

"It hurts a little, it feels like a woodpecker." Smaug taunted, "But my armor is indestructible, invulnerable to swords and guns."

"I can see it." Aaron smiled self-deprecatingly. He is still too weak now. If his strength can be improved to a higher level, he may be able to cause some damage to Smaug.

Smaug grinned, slowly opened his wings, and then flapped them hard.

A huge storm came over, blowing the two of them dozens of meters away and landing on a pile of gold coins.

"Hahaha." Aaron quickly climbed up, unable to suppress the smile on his face, "I am so satisfied with this dragon."

"You can still laugh, think about what to do!"

"What can I do? The things are already taken, of course I will run away." Aaron cast a disillusionment spell on himself. He only had half of his magic power now, so he was not stupid enough to fight Smaug head-on. It would be enough to test its power. The real battlefield was not here.

Seeing this, Bilbo also hurriedly put on the One Ring and carefully moved in the direction he came from.
