Chapter 267 The Most Valuable Dragon in History - Golden Smaug
"Good job, Gaius." Thorin patted Aaron's arm, and then looked at the others.
"Bombur, make the fire burn more fiercely."
Bombur immediately jumped to the empty space in front of the furnace and pulled the chain.
The blower started, blowing air into the furnace, and the flame turned light blue.
"Bilbo, go over there, listen to my instructions, and pull that switch."
Bilbo followed the direction Thorin pointed and climbed to the switch of the waterwheel, ready to go.
"Balin, can you still make flash fire?"
"Yes, it will only take a while." Balin immediately took two dwarves into the warehouse at the back, where he had all the materials he needed.
At this time, Smaug climbed out of the mine and found everyone in the smelting room. The huge iron door was quickly torn open under its claws.
"We are running out of time." Dwalin murmured.
"I'll buy some time." Aaron volunteered, "But there's not much time left."
Thorin nodded, "Others, be prepared to assist."
Aaron took a deep breath, walked to the huge iron gate, and gave Smaug a big smile.
"Wizard." Smaug sneered at him, "Not a gray robe, not a brown robe, not a white robe, nor a blue robe, who are you?"
"Aaron Gaius." Aaron simply saluted, "Just an ordinary magician, no, my power is not complete now, maybe I can't even be called a magician."
"Unique, Dragon Speaker Gaius.
You have more potential than those five wizards, and it's only a matter of time before you surpass them."
"I think so too."
"No, you don't understand what I mean." Smaug's tone was tempting, "You can become the strongest wizard, there is no need to help the despicable dwarves.
No one can resist the combination of dragons and dragon speakers, you can become a great king, a real overlord.
Whether it is humans, elves, or dwarves, they will all respect you, even the necromancer has to respect you a little."
After the voice fell, everyone, including Balin who configured Flashfire, looked at Aaron in amazement.
No one could have thought that he would have such potential, and no one could have thought that he would make the evil dragon express rare kindness, but everyone was more worried about whether Aaron could withstand this temptation.
Although Aaron's performance along the way was extremely mature and there was nothing wrong with it, it was undeniable that he was only a teenager. What if the child got angry?
"Puff! Hahaha~"
Aaron couldn't help but hold his stomach and laughed, "Interesting, too interesting.
If you draw other big cakes to tempt me, I might agree, but when I left home, the elders in my family specifically told me that I must not have the intention of ruling, otherwise I would be expelled from the family.
Do you want me to be homeless? Or do you want me to be abandoned by my friends and relatives?"
Smaug:......
Everyone:......
"Then there is no room for negotiation." Smaug shook his head, "It's a pity, you made a wrong decision."
Bang!
Smaug slapped the iron door even harder.
"Armor protection." Aaron cast an armor spell on himself, and then began to carve a magic circle.
A yellow-brown star appeared in the air and fitted onto the iron gate.
The circular magic circle slowly rotated, mobilizing the earth element to reinforce the iron gate, and coated it with a thick layer of rock.
Smaug sneered, and his head turned and spurted out a fierce flame.
"Roar!"
The magic circle only lasted for a second before it shattered.
Aaron immediately carved an intermediate defense magic circle in front of him, and with the defense of the Iron Armor Spell, he barely blocked the aftermath of the dragon flame.
But even so, he was blown away by the flames for more than ten meters before he stopped.
"Sure enough, the intermediate magic circle is unreliable." Aaron patted the dust off his body and stood up a little embarrassedly.
"You are too weak now, you can't even stop my sneeze." Smaug taunted, violently tore open the iron gate, and got into the smelting room.
Aaron slowly retreated, but Smaug pressed on step by step, and his abdomen turned red.
"It's over, young dragon whisperer."
"Here." Thorin suddenly shouted.
Smaug looked at him subconsciously, "Oakshield, I'll finish you first."
"Pull."
Hearing this word, Bilbo immediately jumped up and pulled the switch.
Several stone statues on the wall sprayed a large amount of water from their mouths, just shooting at Smaug, extinguishing the fire in his chest.
White steam emanated from Smaug's body, making him very uncomfortable, and twisting his body restlessly.
After recovering from his shock, Smaug looked at Thorin coldly and slowly moved towards him.
Bombur pulled the iron chain of the blower with all his strength, and the blue flames burned fiercely, and the gold ore in the furnace was completely melted.
Balin and others also ran out of the warehouse, and they distributed the configured flash fire to other dwarves.
The flash of fire hit Smaug, emitting a strong light like a flash bomb, but it couldn't attract its attention at all.
Aaron looked up at the rows of mine carts hanging above, and decisively cast several spells. The mine carts full of ore and the cables barely dragged Smaug's steps.
When it got rid of the rope on its body, Thorin immediately pulled an iron chain, and several furnaces opened a gap at the same time. The golden gold solution flowed out along the channel, quickly gathered together and flowed in one direction.
"Lead him to the Hall of Kings." Thorin shouted, and then pushed a mine cart and jumped into the boiling gold liquid, entering a low tunnel like rowing.
The other dwarves also scattered and ran towards the Hall of Kings.
Aaron was about to leave when he heard Bilbo's shout.
Smaug's action of getting rid of the rope just broke the place where he was standing, and he fell directly to the ground without even going down the steps.
As soon as Bilbo raised his head, his eyes met Smaug next to the furnace.
Before he could react, Aaron ran to his side and pulled him down a slope, avoiding the sharp claws.
"Run, don't stop." Aaron said.
Bilbo followed closely behind him. As soon as the two of them arrived behind the Hall of Kings, a roar came, and Smaug broke through the wall directly.
As a last resort, Aaron pulled the hobbits behind him and hid behind a pillar.
"Do you think you can fool me?
You are from Long Lake Town. This is a conspiracy planned by the hateful dwarves and the miserable Long Lake people.
Those crying cowards with longbows and black arrows, maybe I should visit them." Smaug said and prepared to leave, intending to destroy Long Lake Town first.
Hearing this, Aaron frowned.
Although he didn't know why Smaug guessed so accurately, it didn't conflict with his original plan. However, he had to weaken its combat power as much as possible before that, or at least let it get hurt.
"It's not their fault." Bilbo jumped out directly, "Wait, you can't go to Lake Town."
Pah!
Aaron patted his forehead speechlessly and followed him out to avoid being burned to ashes by Smaug's dragon breath.
"You care about them, right!" Smaug turned around meaningfully, "Then watch them die!"
"Wait." Aaron sighed, "If you go to Lake Town, you will die."
Bilbo rolled his eyes. This was definitely useless. Smaug wouldn't believe it.
Sure enough, the next moment Smaug laughed out loud, "You think you can scare me by saying that? I will let the humans there feel what disaster is again."
"Here." Thorin shouted from a huge statue, "You ignorant waste, I want to take back what you stole."
"You can't take anything back, dwarf." Smaug approached slowly, "I defeated your older generation of warriors and implanted fear in the hearts of humans. I am the king under the mountain."
"This is not your kingdom, this is the land of dwarves, this is the gold of dwarves.
We want revenge." Thorin shouted and pulled the chain beside him, "Come out!"
The other dwarves behind the statue pulled the chains in their hands at the same time, and the buckles on the statue fell off one by one, and the surface of the rock also broke quickly.
A huge golden statue appeared in front of Smaug. This is the image of Thorin's grandfather Thor, cast with freshly baked gold solution.
Smaug looked at the golden statue that was as tall as it. The dazzling golden light made his eyes blurry. He couldn't help but approach it, wishing he could stick to it.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
Just as it was admiring it, the eyes of the golden statue suddenly burst open, gushing out boiling golden liquid.
Smaug was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, other parts of the golden statue of Thor also burst.
The entire golden statue was completely melted in almost a few seconds, and the boiling golden solution was splashed on Smaug's body, drowning him in the blink of an eye.
Smaug let out a painful roar, struggled for a long time, and sank into the boiling golden solution that filled the entire hall.
Thorin's face bloomed with an excited smile. What if Smaug's scales were invulnerable? The golden pool below was at least a thousand degrees. I don't believe it won't burn you to death.
"Did it succeed?" Bilbo asked in a deep voice.
"No." Aaron looked solemn. "There is still the sound of heartbeat in the pool. Smaug is still alive."
The next moment, Smaug roared and came out. Its body seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, without any omission.
"This is definitely the most valuable dragon in history, no one else." Aaron looked at the golden Smaug in shock. He never thought that a dragon could be so dazzling.
"Revenge, revenge, I want to let you know what revenge is." Smaug dragged his golden body out of the main gate, leaving a pile of golden liquid on the ground.
Thorin looked at Smaug leaving in disbelief, and a feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout his body.
After knocking open the city gate, the dragon soared into the sky, spun a few times in the air, shook off the gold solution on its body, and flew towards the direction of Long Lake Town.
"What have we done?" Bilbo murmured, feeling endless regret in his heart. Perhaps they should not have disturbed the dragon's long sleep.
"The prophecy is coming true." Aaron patted Bilbo on the shoulder, "Long Lake Town will be devastated."
"We caused it." Bilbo said with lifeless eyes.
"This day would have come even without us." Aaron said in a deep voice, "Bard gave those townspeople the opportunity to choose, but they all chose gold without exception. Now it's time to pay for greed."
