Zhang Chen arrived in Riverdale City.

It is different from the town of Long Lake in the original book.

Riverdale is a large and rich city with a large population, standing before the kingdom of Irub, and was once one of the most important trading centers in the north, as well as a central hub for the export of gold and gems from the dwarves.

A year and a half ago, when the evil dragon Smaug attacked the dwarven kingdom of Irub, Riverdale fought hard to resist, but was hit by the fish in the pond, and the entire city was reduced to ruins in flames under Smaug's monstrous dragon flames, causing thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties.

From now on.

Riverdale was in shambles.

In the future, the survivors of this city will build a new town a few miles away from Riverdale City, which is the town of Long Lake, where the protagonist group visited in the original book, and its prosperity and population size are greatly reduced.

The terrifying shadow of the dragon still looms over every survivor.

After all, Smaug was entrenched in the Lonely Mountain, sleeping in the treasure-filled halls of Eruber.

No one can guarantee that this dragon will wake up one day and suddenly want to move his muscles and bones, and set a few fires to play with it, so everyone lives in fear.

At this time, the town of Changhu had not yet started.

The survivors still live in the unrecognizable ruins of Riverdale City, which had been engulfed in flames.

When Zhang Chen arrived at the ruined Riverdale City, the others had not yet arrived, so he wandered here for a few days.

The once glorious city of La Vale, which can be seen from the outline of the ruins, is built directly on the lake, with beautiful and unique buildings, surrounded by busy docks, where visitors can pass through the city by boat, bands playing on the riverside, shops and pubs, it is a magical version of Venice on the water.

Pity.

It's all gone.

Now all that's left is a charred and empty shell.

This huge city, completely burned down, is ironclad proof of Smaug's invincibility!

Zhang Chen didn't wait too long.

A few days later, Xiao Feng, Gandalf, and the dwarves arrived.

Thorin solemnly opened a long box, and inside the box lay a beautifully shaped, black-lit straight-edged sword, and he presented the sword in front of him with both hands and said, "Dear friend, please accept this sword from the ancient furnace of Moria, he symbolizes the eternal friendship and respect of the dwarves!" ”

Not bad!

New weapons are here!

This sword is heavier than the same volume of steel, but it is just right to use.

Xiao Feng is also wearing a sword with a black light, but there is a difference in shape, similar to the previous beast bite sword, with a single-sided blade, wide and domineering, the curve is in line with mechanics, and it can split and stab.

Zhang Chen said with satisfaction: "Do you have a name?" ”

Gandalf opened his mouth and introduced, "This is the Sword of Iruber, and Xiao Feng's is the Sword of Moria, to commemorate the Dwarven homeland and this battle. ”

Sure enough, it's a very Western-style name.

It's the hobbit world, after all.

You can't expect the other party to take names like "Heavenly Sword" and "Dragon Slayer".

Zhang Chen didn't care about the name, and smashed two appraisals on the weapon, and the relevant attributes were presented.

[Sword of Iruber], silver low-grade quality, made of Iruber black gold and Rivendell Mithril, is made by the dwarf Thorin and the ancient furnace of hundreds of dwarven practical Moria, which can cause armor-piercing attacks and deal extra damage to dark creatures...... From The Hobbit World!

Not bad!

From a bronze upper to a silver subordinate.

Changed from bronze gear to silver gear.

This quality improvement is not a little bit.

In terms of quality, it is even higher than the Ring of Thor.

Of course, this does not mean that the two weapons are better than the Ring of Thor, in terms of value, the Ring of Thor is higher, and this little ring is mainly underestimated by the system because of its side effects.

This sword should be ready to be used against Smaug!

In addition to weapon upgrades, there is an unexpected surprise, that is, Xiao Feng's strength has been greatly improved, and now open Xiao Feng's personal information as follows:

————

Name: Xiao Feng

Mercenary Rating: No Rating (Mercenary Hu Slave)

Current luck: 215

Heavenly Coins: 265

Current Abilities: Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending (Perfection), Jiuyang Divine Skill (Dacheng), Shaolin Internal Skill (Perfection), Taizu Changquan (Perfection), Dog Stick Method (Mastery), Dragon Capture Gong (Mastery), ......

Current Plane: None

————

Awesome!

Assisted by experience charms.

Xiao Feng's Jiuyang Divine Skill has been completed!

In addition to the breakthrough of Jiuyang Divine Skill, Xiao Feng's Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending also broke through.

He was only in a state of great completion before, but now he has reached the consummation realm, which can be said to be a qualitative transformation, reaching two completely different realms!

Under normal circumstances, if you can practice the exercises to the point of great achievement, you have already reached the top.

Perfection is very difficult to attain.

The cost of energy may be several times more than the sum of the first learning and the greatest success!

However, once you have cultivated to the state of "consummation".

Then it can be reborn and transformed into magic!

Even a very weak martial artist will become very strong because of this!

What's more, it is known as the "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending", which is known as Jin Yong's first external skill in martial arts?

Xiao Feng now has the Dacheng Jiuyang Divine Skill inside, and the Eighteen Palms of the Consummation Level Dragon Descending Outside, his strength has improved by more than a little bit, and he has the physique and talent that is strong when he is strong, and he is extremely domineering, and no one dares to underestimate him anymore.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"I'm much more sure this time!"

Zhang Chen's own strength is also very sophisticated, and he has a silver-quality weapon in hand, the Supreme Ring Assist, and Xiao Feng's strong helper, as long as he doesn't face Smaug, he should have a lot of opportunities.

He asked, "How many dwarves came?" ”

Thorin immediately replied, "I have selected more than three hundred of the most elite warriors, and your three trolls have recovered from their injuries and are on their way here. ”

"Enough! Numbers are meaningless in front of Smaug! Because you have no power to hurt him! Zhang Chen said: "Your task is not to fight, but to be responsible for containing Smaug, not letting him leave Irub City, and creating fighting conditions for me and Xiao Feng." ”

Smaug can fly.

Not only can it fly, but it is also extremely fast and very agile in the air.

Once Zhang Chen and Xiao Feng fight against them in an open place, the two of them will be very passive, the odds of winning will be greatly reduced, and the risk index will also soar, it is best to trap Smaug in Irubor City, its huge size cannot be used in the dwarf pit, and it will also create a chance for Zhang Chen and Xiao Feng to slay the dragon.

The plan was well finalized.

No more problems.

Without further ado, Zhang Chen decided to act immediately!

But at this moment, there was a commotion outside, which seemed to be mixed with swearing.

Xiao Fengyi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gandalf said, "It seems to be a citizen of Riverdale." ”

It turns out that the news of Thorin's return has spread in Riverdale City, and the citizens of Riverdale City don't know what this group of dwarves want to do when they come back? It's not just that he wants to retrieve the treasures of the Lonely Mountain, but these treasures have already been taken over by Smaug.

This behavior of the dwarves is tantamount to theft.

If Smaug is provoked, I am afraid that another catastrophe will erupt.

Less than two years have passed since Riverdale was destroyed by Dragonfire, and the people have yet to recover from their grief and fear, can the humans of Riverdale agree to the fact that the dwarves are going to provoke the invincible dragon again?

"Dwarves get out!"

"Dwarves are not welcome in this place!"

"You will only bring havoc and death!"

"It's all dead anyway, if you want to go back to the lonely mountain, step over my corpse first!"

Hundreds of agitated citizens surrounded the neighborhood, throwing stones, bottles, and rotten vegetable leaves from the crowd, and Riverdale soldiers joined in to arrest and expel the dwarves.
