Chapter 370: Slaying the Dragon

Early the next morning, when the sun had just risen and shone on the gate of the lonely mountain, Ryan came here. After pulling out a full two tons of exploding cherries, he found a place to hide himself and detonated the pile of exploding cherries.

In an instant, the Lonely Mountain Gate was full of rubble, and even Ryan, who was a few hundred meters away, felt that the ground shook a little. Naturally, it was impossible for Smaug not to feel such a big movement. Just a few seconds after the explosion, an angry dragon groan came from the belly of the lonely mountain. The sound of flapping wings from far to near indicates that the dragon will soon be leaving its lair.

Bard and the elves stared nervously at the gate of the lonely mountain, while Ryan pinched a thick handful of yellow talismans in each hand.

"Boom!" The gate of the lonely mountain was slammed open, and a giant dragon more than 140 meters long flew out of it. At this moment, Ryan threw out all the yellow talismans in his hands, and drank down at the same time: "Town!"

Countless golden seals appeared out of thin air and surrounded Smaug, and the dragon's speed suddenly slowed down a lot after coming into contact with these golden seals.

Naturally, Smaug also discovered the location of Ryan, who had attacked it. Just as he was about to finish off the fragile little bug in his eyes with a burst of flames, he suddenly felt a deadly attack approaching. It's a pity that at this time, it was limited by Ryan's magic and was no longer able to dodge.

"Sting. Six golden-red rays of light appeared almost simultaneously, striking Smaug, who was moving slowly through the air. After alchemy, the extremely tough long-rod armor-piercing warhead broke through the protection of the dragon skin in an instant under the acceleration of the powerful electromagnetic force. In particular, the three turrets to the left of Smaug accurately hit the front of the dragon's left chest where the scales had been knocked off more than 60 years ago.

The high-speed, red-hot bullet burrowed into Smaug's body and exploded under the influence of the runes, destroying the internal organs of his chest. After a wail, the giant dragon fell from the sky.

After a few struggles on the ground, the light in Smaug's eyes faded little by little. Finally he stopped breathing and lay there still. His eyes were still staring at the sky.

"Absorb. Ryan used the ancient magic script to activate the life magic, and a gray-white shadow floated out of Smaug's body and formed a ball of smoke the size of an apple on Ryan's chest. At this time, the Rose Crystal, which had been sent to Bard as a liaison, flew over and sealed the smoke ball with an amethyst with silver threads.

However, there was an extremely faint white flame in the middle of this smoke ball, but everyone who looked at this flame could feel the immortal power from it. This should be the unquenchable fire.

In the Lord of the Rings world, everything comes from an unquenchable fire. The great god Iluvita is an unquenchable fire in his own right, and so are the Veras, but they are regarded as gods, and they prefer to use their physical bodies when they usually come to the earthly world, rather than appearing in front of everyone in the form of a flame.

The secret of all the immortals is here, and after their death, the souls return to the temple of Vilamandus, where they sleep and await the final movement of Iluvita.

Illuvita created the world and the Vela created the species by the Immortal Fire, but only Illuvita gave the Elves the entire race to have an Immortal Fire, and the other Velas were not up to par, so they could only create short species.

At most, a Maia like Gandalf can get the right to use the unquenchable fire, and there is no need to think about ownership.

It was only Morgosken, as the villain, who sent the unquenchable fire to make evil dragons, fire demons, and even gave Sauron an empowerment at the end. It is for this reason that Sauron, who has acquired a partial immortal flame of Vera, can become the most powerful one among Maia.

After killing the dragon, Ryan had planned to use this dragon soul to baptize his five dragons. As a result, I didn't expect to get such a windfall. Naturally, Ryan opened the space door as soon as possible and asked Rose Crystal to give this thing to Teacher Luo Zhen. Because among the people he knows, only Teacher Luo Zhen will be interested in this thing, and at the same time have the ability to study it.

"We, did we kill Smaug?" When Rose Crystal returned from the space door, Bard and the elves ran to Smaug's side. Looking at the dragon corpse, which was as huge as a small hill, all the humans and elves present let out an exclamation. There was a look of shock on everyone's face.

"Yes, we did. Ryan said as he looked at the shocked people. "Times have changed, gentlemen. With the death of Sauron, the power of these evil dragons has faded, and we have more power than ever before. So, we managed to slay the last dragon in Middle-earth. ”

Bard had a relieved look on his face as he cried bitterly at the dragon corpse. He then knelt down on one knee in front of Ryan and swore allegiance. Ryan declared himself to be the vice-king of the valley and to assume all the powers of the kingdom in his absence.

After Smaug's death, the construction of Riverdale was back on track. Soon, many of the refugees who had fled to Long Lake returned to Riverdale at Bard's call.

After discovering that his income was decreasing, the mayor of Long Lake sent troops to try to capture the people who had emigrated to Riverdale. As a result, he was directly captured by Ryan's robot army halfway. The whole process was even very peaceful, and the soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered with their hands raised after discovering that a group of invulnerable robots surrounded them.

After all, most of these soldiers were also from Long Lake Town, and many of those who moved to Riverdale City before had various connections with them. After knowing the current situation in Riverdale, they were naturally reluctant to fight.

At the behest of the populace, Ryan rushed into Long Lake with Bard and a team of robots to capture the mayor and his doglegs. After a public trial, they were sentenced to banishment. Amid the cheers of the people on both sides of the street, the mayor and his doglegs were driven out of the town of Long Lake. Ryan took the opportunity to publicly announce that he would not take a penny of the treasure left behind by these people, and would use all of it for the construction of the town and to buy people's hearts.

Under everyone's busyness, the town of Changhu has slowly shrunk, and it is no longer the town that has grown up after accepting a large number of refugees. Instead, it reverted to its former status as a trade center for goods near Riverdale.

At the same time, Riverdale has regained its popularity, and all the buildings have been renovated. Many of the places that were completely destroyed were built with new factories and dwellings. Ryan quickly trained a large group of skilled workers using the memory input device, and production resumed in Riverdale.

In the space of two months, these abandoned places seem to have regained their former vitality, and caravans have slowly appeared. Rivervalley's first big deal came from Thranduil, who ordered two energy towers and three hundred robots from Ryan through Birdie.

"I always thought you elves didn't like these rumbling machines, so I didn't recommend them to you at the time. When Thrandui came running with a group of elves to pick up the goods, Ryan replied to the question of why the elven king didn't take out the good things at that time.

"I don't like it very much. Thranduy nodded in acknowledgement, "But our population is too small, and we'd welcome anyone who can save manpower, especially these well-robots." It can greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers in battle. ”

After a night's stay, Thranduy returned to the forest with more than 100 robots with the Portal Parts and a dozen engineers who helped with the installation. Of course, he also promised that regular caravans would come to the valley to trade in the future.

When he said goodbye to the Elven King and his party on the castle tower, Ryan was surprised to find that Legolas had not left. It turned out that Thranduil had allowed Legolas and the small group of elves to stay for the time being.

"This is what I asked for. Legolas shrugged, "So I can be with Toriel." ”
