Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Even the most upright dwarf cannot completely and faithfully inherit the friendship left by his ancestors. And compared with those so-called friendships with human beings, it is impossible to compare with the bonds between the same races. Li Mo saw through this, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he told the fact that Bard tried his best to prevent the dwarf king Thorin Oak Shield from returning to the lonely mountain, which was equivalent to directly putting him on the flames, coupled with the unfounded rumors to further provoke its relationship with the dwarves of the Longbeard Clan, so that even if there were a hundred mouths, it would not be clear.
In fact, most of the kings of the Iron Hills, Tiezu, had no intention of sending troops to aid Changhu Town, and Li Mo's duty was to give him a reason to push the boat along the river, and he could sweep Bud, an unpleasant guest, out of the house with righteous words. Sure enough, I heard the Iron Foot King Yan SΓΉ say: "Bud, the friendship between the Longbeard Clan and Jilian has ended here, return to your town, and don't appear within the range of Iron Hills again." β
When Bard heard this, a strong unwillingness immediately appeared on his face, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of this dwarf king, he turned his head and stared at Li Mo with eyes full of resentment, and finally turned away angrily.
"Warning: Your relationship with the important plot character Bud is permanently solidified into a blood feud!"
"Warning: Blood feud is the lowest level of relationship, and once born, it can never be changed."
"Hint: You can now put Black Arrows in your backpack space."
The Iron Foot King finally looked at Li Mo and said, "Mercenary, Iron Hills will not take back the black arrows in your hands, nor will they send troops to help Changhu Town, but in order to compensate for your prompt, I will let you walk out of Iron Hills intact." After speaking, the Iron Foot King suddenly stretched out his hand to tear Li Mo's clothes, and a shocking wound was immediately revealed, the rotten flesh that had been turned over was constantly gurgling outwards with blood, and it could be seen that the bright red tender flesh was constantly trying to squirm and try to recover the wound, but it was stopped by an invisible force and could not heal together.
The young dwarf Stone Helmet on the side couldn't help but have a shocked look on his face when he saw this wound, he didn't expect that this inconspicuous human had been enduring this kind of pain just now without changing his face.
The Iron Foot King took off the wine bag hanging from his waist, poured it into his mouth, and suddenly sprayed towards the wound, Li Mo instantly felt as if he was burned by blazing flames, even Yitzhak's Pillar of Flame had never produced such unbearable pain, he almost gritted his gums to not let himself breathe out in pain, his face was extremely distorted because of the pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to drip from his forehead.
Seeing Li Mo's perseverance, the Iron Foot King's eyes also flashed with a strange look, he put the wine bag to Li Mo's mouth, and poured him a mouthful without saying anything, Li Mo only felt a flame burning from his throat to his stomach, and the pores of his whole body were all dilated at this moment.
"Hint: You have taken the Dwarven Fire Drink, taken damage equal to 1o% of your current health, removed all ailments on your body, and gained the Fire Burn buff for 6o minutes."
"Burning Body: This is a buff state that can only be generated by using Dwarven Fire Wine, with HP recovery +5 points/s, Attack/Movement +15%, and will be immune to a negative status for the duration, and then the effect of Burning Body will be removed."
After doing this, the Iron Foot King turned and left, and the other dwarves around him returned to their posts indifferently, for them neither humans nor Smaug were inconsequential matters, their only concern was to dig mines and forge equipment in the furnace.
Li Mo took a deep breath, slapped his face and forcibly slapped his tired face away, and when he saw that the young dwarven prince Stone Helmet was about to leave to continue patrolling the Iron Hills, he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Young and brave dwarven stone helm...... Allow me to call you that, the name of the Stone Helm King has begun to emerge in the town of Long Lake, and people are rumoring that the Stone Helm King will become the greatest king in the history of Iron Hills. β
It seems that for some reason, the young dwarf Stone Helmet's attitude towards Li Mo has changed completely differently than before, he touched his head embarrassedly, and then said: "Fool, on behalf of the dwarves of the Longbeard Clan, I thank you for your justice, it was you who made us see clearly the sinister nature of Bard and saved us from an unnecessary war. β
Li Mo seized this opportunity to talk to the stone helmet, this young dwarf was completely unfamiliar with the world, and he was fooled in a few words, and he completely let down his guard after a long time, and began to call Li Mo a brother.
When Li Mo saw that the fire was almost off, he finally began to say: "Stone Helmet, my dwarven brother, since the first time I saw you, I felt that your name would one day spread throughout Middle-earth6, just like the ancestor of the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, Turin, to become the greatest dwarf in history. Now there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do an immortal feat here. β
"Oh? What is the opportunity? The young dwarf was immediately attracted and hurriedly asked.
"Thorin, the dwarven king of the Lonely Mountain, has reached the Lonely Mountain, and at the end of the Turin Day, the moment when the light of the sun and the light of the moon mingle, they will open the hidden back door and enter the palace that has been sealed for a long time. Oak Shield's prowess is undeniable, but we all know that he alone cannot defeat the evil dragon Smaug, and when this monster is completely enraged, it will fly out of the dusty palace and bring ruining flames to Big 6. And then there will be an opportunity, a chance to kill Smaug and become a dragon slayer. β
However, the dwarven stone helmet was not immediately moved when he heard Li Mo's words, and he said angrily: "Although my beard cannot be braided yet, I also know that Smaug's claws and teeth are comparable to the sharpest weapons, the scales on his body are harder than any armor in the world, and the flames spewing out of his mouth can instantly melt any steel, even the bravest dwarves of the Longbeard Clan cannot fight this monster head-on." β
"We don't need to sacrifice the precious lives of the longbeard dwarves, we just need a weapon that can kill the dragon, and the person who wields it to attack at the right time."
As soon as he heard this, Shi Helmet understood what Li Mo meant, he glanced at the black arrow, frowned, and said, "The black arrow can only wield the dragon hunting bow with the greatest power, but the ancestors gave it to the lord of River Valley Town after making the dragon hunting bow. β
Li Mo refused to give up and continued: "The forging skills of the Iron Hill Dwarves are well-known6, and it is absolutely impossible for Cheng DΓΉ to have only one weapon like the Dragon Hunting Bow, maybe we can find a replacement weapon. Among my companions is a powerful archer, and I believe that if he is armed with the weapons of the Longbeard Dwarves, he will be able to hunt down Smaug and restore the prestige of the Longbeard Dwarves. β
Hearing this, a look of hesitation obviously appeared on the face of the stone helmet, and under Li Mo's repeated temptation, he finally relented: "Actually, after the ancestors forged the dragon hunting bow, they also left a waste product with zΓ i flaws, and the defective product should have been melted back to the furnace on the spot, but because the materials of the dragon hunting bow were too precious, even if it was an iron hill, there was no second copy, so the dwarf craftsmen at that time decided to put the dragon hunting bow with zΓ i flaws into the warehouse and seal it. β
Li Mo's eyes lit up and he asked, "In other words, there is also a second dragon hunting bow, as long as you use it, you can swing the maximum power of the black arrow." β
Stone Helmet said with a grim face: "Actually, I can't be sure if the second dragon hunting bow exists, I wasn't born when that ancestor forged the dragon hunting bow, and this is just one of the countless stories I heard when I was a child. β
"Stonehelm, my dwarven brother, maybe you can take us into the warehouse to find the dragon hunting bow, we promise not to touch anything else inside." Li said sincerely.
However, at this time, the stone helmet said regretfully: "Just a few years ago, Uncle Jill, who was in charge of the warehouse keys, was drunkenly robbed by a group of lowly thieves, and several warehouse keys, including the dragon hunting bow, were stolen, but fortunately, the stupid thieves did not seem to know the difference between the key and the spoon, and they have not been seen since our warriors conducted a sweep. β
"Didn't you have a second key?"
"Why back up the second key, the warehouse that was piled up during the reign of my grandfather Dann I has not been opened since it was closed, oh my God, we may need to dig deeper, otherwise the piles of equipment will take up all our space." β
Li Mo instantly had a feeling of being played, the dwarf regarded wealth as his life and the characteristics of collection were not weak compared to the dragon, he couldn't understand this idea of sealing the treasure until death and was unwilling to take it out, maybe this was the fundamental reason why the lonely mountain was attacked by the dragon Shi Mao, if Thorin didn't return to the lonely mountain to wake up Shi Maug in advance, in a few hundred years, when the accumulation of iron hills also reached a point-inducing level, maybe this dragon would automatically wake up from its slumber, Another battle of iron rooster Vs Wang Shiren's otherworldly fighting.
Li Mo could only patiently ask: "There is such a saying in our human race, brothers are in trouble, since the dwarves of the Longbeard Clan are my friends, I can't sit back and watch this kind of despicable thieves go unpunished, please be sure to tell me any information about these thieves." β
Hearing Li Mo's words, Stone Helmet immediately showed a moved expression, and he said without concealment: "According to Uncle Jill, those thieves suddenly appeared from underground, as if they were a group of goblins hidden in the ruins of the disappearing mountains and the Inglin Mountains, maybe you can get some more detailed information from Uncle Jill." β
Hearing this, Li Mo and the bayonet immediately turned around to look for clues to the next step, but when they found the dwarf called Uncle Jill, they only saw a drunk man who was drunk and snoring on the dining table.
The bayonet stepped forward, picked up the kettle on the side and poured it directly into the drunken dwarf's face, stimulated by the cold water, the dwarf immediately jumped up, and yelled angrily: "Who is it! Who dares to tease Bearded Jill! β
At this time, Li Mo didn't know when there was an extra wine jug in his hand, he opened the lid and shook it, and a smell of barley ferment immediately came out of the bottle.
The yelling dwarf stopped instantly, his red rosacea twitched, and he immediately turned his head to stare at the bottle of wine.
"It's human ale, oh my god it's been a long time since I've drunk it...... I haven't drunk ale for 2 days, no, at least 3 days, and it's just right to use as a morning drink to clear your mind. β
Just as the dwarf Jill was about to pounce, the bottle suddenly disappeared, and the smell of barley ferment wafting in the air gradually dissipated, as if it had never appeared. Seeing this scene, the dwarf Jill couldn't help but yell again, and then Li Mo stepped forward and said, "To answer my question, the bottle of ale just now is yours." β
The dwarf Jill seemed to have noticed Li Mo's existence at this time, he opened his hazy drunken eyes, looked at Li Mo in a trance for a while, couldn't help but burp, and then said: "You are a human ...... Well, whatever you are, as long as you have alcohol, you're a good friend of mine. β
Li Mo didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Tell me about the goblins, where can I find their nests." β
"Goblins?" The dwarf Jill seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and after muttering a few words, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Oh, I remember, those vile thieves who once stole a bottle of my precious Elven Fire Tongue Wine, and I will never forget that those damned things crawled out of the drain under the great forge!" Those damn things...... Hiccup, maybe they're a little better at burrowing than we dwarves, and I bet they're digging holes all over the deepest part of the mountain, maybe they're trying to hollow out the mountain and bury all of us dwarves underneath? β
Speaking of the dwarf Jill muttered again, looking half-drunk and half-awake, and what he said was also incoherent, seeing this appearance, Li Mo also knew that he could no longer get any useful news from his mouth, so he put the bottle of ale on the table casually, and turned around and walked in the direction of the big forge.
It didn't take long to feel a wave of heat rushing through the dimly lit passage, and the further you went, the warmer the temperature became, and the sound of clanging iron gradually came to your ears.
