Chapter 42: The Trolls

"Oh my God, Xiao ...... You...... You're amazing, aren't you? Baggins hurriedly ran to Xiao Yechen's side and looked around him several times, his mouth full of amazement.

Back in the hut again, everyone's eyes on Xiao Yechen were different, this was a kind of awe-inspiring gaze, a kind of respect for the strong.

"Mr. Xiao," everyone sat around the table, and Solin said to Xiao Yechen in an expectant tone:

"We discussed going to Lonely Mountain before, and I think you heard it too. We admire a master like Mr. very much, and we need an existence like Mr. very much, so I want to invite Mr. Xiao to join our team, I wonder if Mr. is willing? ”

Although Xiao Yechen's strength is not lethal, with such an agile hand, if he joins, the success rate will increase by at least half!

Sorin's invitation had long been expected by Xiao Yechen, and it was also the purpose of his trip.

He didn't pretend to be hypocritical, and agreed with a smile: "Prince Thorin's request, I agreed!" Actually, if you don't tell me, I'm going to go with you! ”

"Oh! Is there anything Mr. Xiao has to do when he goes to Lonely Mountain? Thorin's eyes twinkled, and he asked without moving.

"It's not like anything, but I'm interested in what you call the dragon Smaug, and I'd love to see how strong the legendary dragon is!"

"I see, it seems that Mr. Xiao's purpose is almost the same as ours! However, Smaug's is really fierce, and Mr. Xiao will need to be more careful when the time comes! ”

Xiao Yechen saw Thorin's temptation in his eyes, but he didn't point it out, he was just for the task, and by the way, he saw what valuable things could be obtained along the way.

The strength of this dwarf prince is just like that in his eyes, he may not even be able to make a move in his own hands, as long as he doesn't provoke himself, Xiao Yechen is too lazy to do much.

Gandalf stood aside, watching as Sorin and Xiao Yechen negotiated an agreement and signed the contract in a few words, knowing that he couldn't change anything, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I hope nothing happens!" ”

Next, as Xiao Yechen thought, after determining the members of the team, a group of dwarves set off the next day. Xiao Yechen said goodbye to Baggins and followed Sorin and his party on the road.

Time is pressing, the whole team has been in a non-stop hurry, along the way Xiao Yechen talked humorously, insightful, from time to time to say some very philosophical sentences so that the group couldn't help but be impressed.

The dwarf gate has a lot of respect for Xiao Yechen, but Gandalf is neither cold nor hot to Xiao Yechen, so I don't know what he is thinking.

Xiao Yechen still has a good impression of Gandalf, a kind old man, but seeing that he doesn't seem to have a good attitude towards him, and he doesn't talk to him much, he can't be so hot and cold!

The itinerary passed day by day, the plot pushed over time, and what should have happened did not disappear because of Xiao Yechen's insertion.

On this day, Thorin and Gandalf had an argument over the choice of path.

Gandalf suggested going to the Elven Territory and asking King Elon to decipher the secrets of the map, but Thorin refused, refusing to go to the Elven Territory that had betrayed the Covenant.

The two were arguing, and seeing that they were about to quarrel, Xiao Yechen spoke.

"Don't fight anymore, Prince Thorin will listen to me!"

"Mr. Xiao, please speak!" Thorin hurried back.

"Prince Thorin, do you think it's important to recover the Akon Gem, recapture the Lonely Mountain, and establish a new dwarven kingdom, or do you stick to your own opinion and continue to displace thousands of dwarves?"

Looking at Suo Lin, Xiao Yechen asked with a serious face.

"Of course, it's important to recapture the Lonely Mountain!"

Regarding Xiao Yechen's question, Solin replied without thinking.

"Very well, so do we have more time?"

"No...... I don't know! ”

Xiao Yechen nodded and continued to ask, "Then are you sure that you can find that invisible gate on the entire huge lonely mountain?" ”

"I ......"

"No, yes! Then why do you still refuse Gandalf's proposal, those who achieve great things are not informal, is it in your heart, that bullshit dignity is more important than your thousands of people? ”

"Nope! No! Thorin growled with red eyes.

Xiao Yechen's words were like the sound of a bell, setting off layers of ripples in Solin's heart, could it be that what he had been insisting on was wrong?!

After a long time, Suo Lin forcibly calmed down and bowed to Xiao Yechen, "Mr. Xiao, thank you!" ”

Then he nodded at Gandalf, "Let's go, let's go to Rivendell!" ”

After speaking, he led the team and walked towards Rievendell.

Gandalf came to Xiao Yechen with a long sigh, looked at Xiao Yechen with a strange look and said, "It's really thanks to Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be such a wise person!" ”

"Hehe, Gandalf, you've won the prize!" Xiao Yechen smiled and said nothing, this Gandalf has pretended to be deep for so many days, and now he finally can't pretend anymore!

That night, the party was in the woods, and just after dinner, Devarin, who was guarding the horses, suddenly ran up to him and shouted: "Oh no, we have lost two horses!" ”

When the group came to the place where the horses were placed, they saw that a large part of the forest had fallen down, and many huge footprints were found on the ground.

"Oh my God! What is this, how can there be such a big footprint? Could it be that our horses were captured by such monsters? Balin exclaimed, pointing to the footprints on the ground.

"Whatever it is, let's go over and see!" As he spoke, the corners of Xiao Yechen's mouth raised slightly, and he walked directly to follow the footprints.

Suorin looked at Xiao Yechen's back and his eyes flickered, and then ordered: "Let's go, let's follow too!" ”

The group followed the footprints all the way, and it didn't take long for them to see a flash of fire in the distance.

Observing closely, Thorin exclaimed, "This ...... Is it a troll? How is this possible?! ”

"Sure enough!" Xiao Yechen secretly said in his heart, is this the ogre who was killed by Gandalf Yongyang in the original book?

Looking at the ugly big man around the bonfire, Xiao Yechen stepped out of his thoughts, and a faint voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Our horse is about to be eaten, you wait, I'll deal with these trolls!" ”

"Mr. Xiao......!"

Surin was shocked when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but saw that Xiao Yechen had already walked away in a few steps.

"Damn! Let's keep up first, and if the situation is not right, we will do it immediately! Thorin gritted his teeth, pulled out his weapon and quietly followed.

Gandalf, on the other hand, showed a curious look, daring to face several trolls alone, he wanted to know what Xiao Yechen's strength was.

Xiao Yechen exerted his light kung fu, and when he saw it, he was already close to the troll, only to see him standing on a boulder, caressing his right hand, and a cold sword appeared in his hand.

"Oh my God! This is...... Magic? Could it be that Mr. Xiao is also a wizard?! Fili's mouth was wide enough to put down a fist, and his face was full of incredulity.

Gandalf next to him was also shocked, obviously shocked by Xiao Yechen's ability!
