Chapter 268: Contract Completed, Face the Dragon

Aaron walked up to Thorin and took out the Arkenstone, "Now it's time to fulfill the contract."

"Arkenstone." Thorin swallowed hard.

"One fifteenth of Erebor's treasure is my reward, is that okay?"

"Hehe!" Thorin smiled bitterly, "Is there any point in talking about this now?"

"Of course there is." Aaron said very confidently.

"Gaius, Master Baggins, I am very grateful to Gandalf for recommending you two companions to me.

If it weren't for you, we might have died on the expedition, and it would have been impossible to reach the Lonely Mountain, open the secret door, or even survive.

It is my honor to have friends like you, but I still have to say sorry. I am afraid that the contract cannot be completed for the time being.

Smaug is still alive, he will not give up the wealth of Erebor, even if I want to give it to you, I can't do anything."

"It doesn't matter what it thinks, what matters is your decision." Aaron raised the Arkenstone in his hand, which was emitting a milky white light, "One fifteenth of the treasure."

"It's time, and you are still thinking about money?" Bilbo looked at Aaron angrily, "Lake Town is about to be destroyed."

Aaron ignored it, but looked at Thorin solemnly, "Whether you can get the treasure from the dragon is another matter.

Just tell me whether you are willing to admit that one fifteenth of the wealth of Erebor is mine."

Thorin looked at the Arkenstone in Aaron's hand and nodded silently.

They are no match for Smaug, but as long as they inherit the throne, they can summon the dwarven army, and then they will definitely be able to kill it and take back Erebor.

"Then..." Aaron put the Arken Gem in Thorin's hand, "The contract is completed."

After saying that, he focused on the first system task: [Complete the contract with the dwarves; reward 1,000 magic points], and decisively received 1,000 magic points.

"Aaron." Bilbo shook his head speechlessly, "Don't forget, Smaug is not dead yet!"

"It will die soon." Aaron said meaningfully, "I have arranged it, the Long Lake is the burial place of Smaug."

"Are you kidding?"

"If you don't believe it, we can find a place to watch the battle.

If nothing unexpected happens, it won't see the sun tomorrow morning."

Everyone:......

......

"Here it comes." The thought body opened its eyes and turned to look at Tariel, "Take them downstairs and hide, don't leave the range of the magic circle."

Bofur looked at the fire on the Lonely Mountain and couldn't help but worry, "I hope Thorin and the others are okay."

"They are still alive, no one is dead, not even injured."

"How do you know?" Qili asked puzzled.

"Don't underestimate wizards. I am the best heir of the Gaius family in the past hundred years." The thought body said proudly, "You should go. I can't take care of you next."

"Aaron." Barn called him, "I'll leave my dad to you."

The thought body made an OK gesture, turned his head to look at the clock tower outside the window, and teleported over.

Everyone in the house widened their eyes in shock when they saw Aaron suddenly disappear.

The Barn brothers and sisters were fine. They had seen the magic circle today and quickly came to their senses. Tariel had also seen the power of the Patronus Charm in the Mirkwood and could barely accept Aaron's way of moving.

The three dwarves looked at each other. After traveling together for more than half a year, they seemed to have never really understood Aaron. It seemed that there was no limit to his mystery.

"Let's go!" Tariel picked up the bow and arrows and weapons and took the six people in the house to hide in the defensive magic circle under the house.

......

Clock tower.

The thought body teleported to Bard's side, scaring him.

"You... wizards have this kind of trick?"

"You don't know a lot." The thought body shrugged, "How are the preparations going?"

Bard took a deep breath and looked at the oppressive black shadow getting closer and closer to the horizon. There was a hint of determination in his solemn face, "The black arrow has been installed on the wind crossbow, but the killer can't be used easily.

Once Smaug is prepared, it will be countless times more difficult to kill it."

The thought body nodded secretly, and he also received the memory of the original body.

Smaug is not only a powerful group, but also very smart. It is not too careful to deal with it.

The residents of Longhu Town heard the dragon's roar and came out of their homes.

The fire on the lonely mountain made them feel the long-lost fear, especially when they saw the evil dragon getting closer and closer. They finally realized what kind of disaster Longhu would face next.

The figure of the evil dragon wandered in the dark clouds, and the whistling sound of the wind was like the scythe of the god of death.

Some of the old men who had seen Smaug's power were trembling all over at this moment, and the shadow of doomsday instantly filled their hearts.

Faced with the death that could fall on their heads at any time, the townspeople gave up their desire for gold without hesitation and fled in panic.

The few wooden boats became popular, and the river became very crowded. As for those poor people who didn't get on the boat, they could only hide in the corners of the house and pray that they would not be noticed by the evil dragon, or jump directly into the cold lake and swim desperately to the other side.

"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!" Bard sighed helplessly.

"Don't feel guilty, this is the price they must pay for making the wrong decision." The thought body didn't care, "No matter when, stupid people always die the fastest.

And this day will come sooner or later, but you have always chosen to forget it.

In fact, I admire you very much. You dare to be the neighbors of the evil dragon for so many years. This fluke mentality is really...unparalleled."

"We really have nowhere to go." Bard laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Forget it!" The thought body curled his lips in disdain, "If you want to leave, you can always leave, but you can't blame anyone if you don't want to."

"Is that your mayor?" The thought body looked at a boat full of gold below with interest. The mayor and Alfred stood on it, commanding several guards to row the boat away.

Bard turned his face away in disdain. It was so embarrassing. Having such a mayor was definitely the biggest stain in the lives of the residents of Long Lake Town.

"Awesome, you still have so much money at this time, but at this speed, I guess everyone will escape and they won't even be able to row out of the river."

But the next moment, the mayor kicked his lackey into the river, reducing the weight of one person on the boat.

The corner of the thought body's mouth twitched slightly, and turned to look at Bard, whose face was also wonderful, "Do you feel particularly happy?"

Bard opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Smaug flew down with a roar.

The fierce dragon flame instantly destroyed a corner of Long Lake Town, and many residents turned into ashes.

"It's our turn." Bard immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at Smaug.

Bang!

The arrow hit Smaug's abdomen, but was deflected by the hard dragon armor, with zero damage.

"It's useless. Unless you hit its weak point, this kind of arrow can't even break its defense."

"I know, but I can't just watch it." Bard said as he shot several arrows in succession, "Attracting its attention may give more people a chance to escape."

Thought Body:......

Standing next to you is really dangerous.

"Forget it, I'll help you. If you want to attract attention, you have to do this." Thought Body took a deep breath, pulled the bowstring of another bow, and aimed at Smaug's right eye, which was constantly spewing flames.

Ding!

The iron arrow continued to enlarge in Smaug's vertical pupils, and it subconsciously closed its eyes and blocked the arrow with its eyelids.

"Who?" Smaug roared angrily.

It can ignore the previous arrows, but it is not that it does not care, but it wants to appreciate the despair of humans before death.

But this arrow is too much. If it is shot, it may not become a one-eyed dragon, but it will inevitably be blind for a period of time.

"See? This is called technology." The thought body said proudly.

Bard was powerless to complain. This technology is very useful, but he may not be able to learn it.

"Is it you?" Smaug looked at Aaron on the bell tower in surprise, "No, you can't be faster than me.

What is your relationship with the dragon speaker? Twins?"

Aaron immediately winked at Bard, then smiled at Smaug, and said in dragon language: "Is there such a possibility that I am him!"

Smaug was stunned for a moment, and a hint of thought flashed in his cold pupils.

The smell is the same, the movements are the same, the expressions are the same, and even the tone is the same cynicism, and it is still dragon language.

Smaug immediately became alert, "How did you come?"

Before he could say "I came here", he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and then a crazy warning came from his mind, and his body reacted instinctively.

"This is trouble." This sentence appeared in the minds of Bard and the thought body at the same time.

Ding!

A dark blue scale was shot out and dented.

Smaug felt like he was pricked by a needle, and his huge body shuddered.

He noticed Bard who was driving the wind crossbow, but even the black arrow shot by the wind crossbow would only make him feel pain at most, and would not make him feel a fatal crisis at all. So where did this crisis come from?

He touched the scale that was shot, and unexpectedly found that the feel was a little wrong. He looked at the lake and finally saw a small piece of his left chest that was not covered by scales. He immediately realized something and roared angrily to the sky.

It sneered at the two of them, "That human left me this flaw, is this what you are planning?"

"You are asking even though you know the answer." The thought body rolled its eyes.

"It's a pity that you lost your only chance.

How about the golden armor? Thorin Oakenshield's wild ideas are enough to make up for this shortcoming." Smaug said as his abdomen turned red, "But I don't want others to know, so please die!"

Boom!

The hot dragon breath gushed out, and the flames rushed straight to the bell tower.

At this moment, the white magic circle suddenly appeared, and the transparent circular barrier enveloped the bell tower and separated the flames.

"Huh!"

Si Nian breathed a sigh of relief. The ultimate defense magic circle did not disappoint him.

"Interesting magic." Smaug murmured unexpectedly, and then looked at Aaron meaningfully, "But how many times can you block it?"
