Chapter 504 The Dragon-Slaying Agreement!
Bree-Shire border,
Xiao rarely saw a city that could support its size and immediately walked in.
"Oh my God, the horse with the horns, is that the lord?"
"Look at that sword, it's so beautiful. The elf's craftsmanship must be his!"
"It's a wandering merchant!"
Pedestrians on the road immediately exclaimed when they saw Xiao's outfit.
"Xiao~, my friend, how did you become a wandering businessman?"
In a blacksmith shop, the first time the dwarf Thorin saw Xiao, he was not surprised, but surprised.
Before, he recognized Xiao Ke as an aristocratic young man who spent money lavishly. He had seemingly endless silver dollars and gold coins in his pocket.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, the other party had become a wandering businessman who had been starving for three days and nine meals.
"It's just to experience a different life. I have a batch of materials here, do you accept it?"
As Xiao spoke, he took out the skins of beasts and monster bones that he had hunted on the road, as well as some precious metal ores, which were all good materials for short-forged weapons.
"Of course, 15 gold coins!"
Thorin counted the leather and said a number.
"This is the finest deerskin!"
"15 gold coins and 8 silver dollars!"
"Okay, deal!"
Xiao quickly agreed, fearing that the other party would regret it.
Thorin: "..."
…
…
Thorin and Xiao were working face to face, using the money from the leather and ore they had just sold, they bought and ate the best bacon from the North District, and two barrels of beer.
The two drank beer, chatted with each other about their experiences, and laughed loudly. When the wine was full, Thorin suddenly came over and whispered to Xiao:
"Xiao, I heard that you have made a name for yourself. I heard your name even in Bree. I have a job here. If you can join, I will pay you thousands or tens of thousands of times!"
"You want to slay the dragon?"
Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked casually.
"How do you know?"
Thorin woke up instantly and looked around before asking.
"You stinky blacksmith, the only thing you can show off is your background. I've roughly learned about you, but there's only one place where you can get such a reward!"
Xiao did not make any cover-up and directly analyzed it.
"Yes, I need your skills. Only you can help me defeat the fire dragon. As long as I recapture Yilubo (Lonely Mountain) and become the king under the mountain, I am willing to share the treasure there with you!"
Thorin has been listening to Xiao's legend during this time.
"Who gave you confidence!"
Xiao lit the tobacco, took a long drag, and then asked Thorin.
"The fire dragon has been entrenched there for too long, and the Turin dwarves have been wandering for too long. The long wandering has made us almost unable to survive. I must make a desperate move!"
As he spoke, Thorin shaped himself into a king who was willing to sacrifice everything for the Turin dwarves.
"Guess whether I believe it or not, you just tell the truth if you want me to help, and you are so desperate that you can't even get through the gate of Gushan!"
Xiao Changchun smoked a cigarette, unmoved at all.
Thorin scratched his head and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Okay, it's the wizard. Gandalf found me. He found a way to enter the Lonely Mountain. The snitch can enter the Lonely Mountain and bring back the Arken gem that represents the king's power.
At that time, I can gather the army of the seven dwarves and kill the dragon together. Now, the problem is...! "
"You are being hunted by orcs and there is no way to reach Lonely Mountain smoothly!"
Xiao took out the bounty piece of animal skin. On it was a bounty mission from the Dark Land: Mordor.
There is a bounty on the head of Thorin Oakenshield. If you take his head instead of his body, you can get a big reward.
Thorin's face looked a little bad, but he still admitted: "Yes, Xiao, you have to help me this time!!"
For a moment, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Thorin remained calm, waiting for Xiao's answer.
Xiao smiled as he raised the wine glass and said, "Okay, for the sake of friendship, I'll take this job!"
"Hahaha, I knew you would help me!"
Thorin also showed a happy smile, scooped up a large glass of beer, and took a swig.
After drinking and eating, Xiao put on his hat and came to the door: "Determine the time and place, I will bring someone to help you!"
"In 11 months, the Shire, Hobbiton, and Gandalf will leave a mark on the Snitch's door. Don't forget, I'll be waiting for you there!"
Thorin solemnly stated the agreed place and time. This was also a sign of trust in Xiao.
If Xiao had led the orcs from Mordor to ambush them when they agreed, he would probably be in doom.
"Farewell, Thorin, my dear King under the Mountain!"
"Farewell, my best friend!!"
…
…
After leaving Thorin's blacksmith shop, Xiao did not continue traveling.
Instead, he opened the dimensional door and went to the world of Fairy Tail in Sequence 13.
In the Fairy Tail guild, a certain magician who was sleeping in the guild suddenly lit up with a pink magic circle, and then quickly transformed into Xiao's appearance.
"Hey, Xiao, you took Kana's body!"
Everyone in the Fairy Tail guild immediately burst into laughter.
"I need some dragon slayers!"
Xiao directly announced the mission.
"Xiao, why does it have to be a dragon slayer?"
Fairy Tail's guild leader, the little old man Makarov, sat on the counter and suddenly asked.
"Well, I traveled in the dreamland and entered a new world, where I transformed into a wandering merchant and became friends with the King of the Dwarves of Turin...!"
Xiao's story instantly attracted the attention of the entire guild, and everyone gathered together on the bench. Even Laxus, who had always been aloof, raised his ears to listen.
Seeing this, Xiao directly used projection magic to release images of his journey, and explained them while playing them.
"Erub, a city located deep in the mountains, is so magnificent that it has become a legend. Its wealth is hidden underground. It is the treasures polished from the rocks, and the gold pouring out from the mountains like pillars. ,
"The skills of the dwarves are unparalleled in the world. They can use emeralds, agates, and rubies to create unparalleled objects of beauty. They continue to dig into the depths of darkness, and there they discover the heart of the mountain, the Arken Gem.
The ancestral dwarf king Thror will name him [Emperor's Treasure], a sign of the divine throne, and all the surrounding areas must pay tribute to him.
The wealth of the dwarves is increasing day by day, but their benevolence and righteousness are getting farther and farther away. I don’t know why.
Thrall's obsession with gold is too fanatical and obsessive. This is a disease of the mind, and a disease of the mind will inevitably suffer consequences! "
As Xiao explained, he used projection magic to project his past memories. Looking at the picture, which was filled with an entire palace of gold, everyone in the guild couldn't take their eyes away.
