CP144 Legendary Black Arrow
There are several famous dragons in Middle-earth, namely the dragon ancestor Grau, the black dragon Ankaragon, the cold dragon Skasha, and the golden dragon Smaug. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info And because the dragons in the Lord of the Rings are the work of the fallen Villamilkor, or Morgoth. As a result, they are inherently evil.
Smaug is the last recorded dragon in Middle-earth, and is often believed to be a descendant of the black dragon Ankaragon or the dragon ancestor Graulon.
If you insist on dividing the positions of these dragons, then the dragons who are the predecessors will probably be classified as 'absolute evil', belonging to the type that will run to do bad things at every turn. As for Smaug, either with some purpose, or after being besieged, it was in a violent rebellion, in short, its 'work' attitude was not so positive.
Of course, whether positive or not, he did a lot of bad things and left an indelible reputation in Middle-earth.
It is impossible to know when Smaug was born and when he began to do evil, but one thing that is certain is that it has been recorded as early as the First Age.
Thousands of years have passed so far. For such a long time, people must have made all kinds of efforts to deal with Smaug.
Whether it's because of the way the wind comes and goes, or because of the sturdiness of the dragon's scales and skin, among the countless ways people have come up with it, there are not many that can actually cause harm to Smaug.
Among them, the most effective one is probably the combination of a dragon hunting bow and a black arrow.
The Dragon Hunting Bow is a large bow and crossbow that was originally erected on the wall of River Valley Town. When Smaug came to the Lonely Mountain, although he only attacked the dwarven kingdom, its strength also deeply shocked the human forces living nearby, so in order to prevent its attack, the humans built a large bow specially designed to snipe the dragon and erected it on the wall of Riverdale.
With a bow, it is natural to have a matching arrow.
Because of the ravages of Smaug, the dwarves lost their homes. Faced with this situation, some of the dwarves were discouraged and left Irub to settle elsewhere, but there were also a small number of dwarves who were desperate for revenge and did not go far.
Some of them just stayed in Riverdale. Prompted by Vengeance, they used materials brought from Iruber and used their dwarven casting techniques to create metal arrows that could damage Smaug.
These arrows are made of metal throughout, and not only are they very heavy, but their black appearance also exudes a sense of slaughter. Just by looking at them, you can imagine their power.
In fact, these arrows did have a lethal effect on Smaug - it was with these bows and arrows that they were used to shoot down a scale on Smaug's body in a later battle, creating a weakness in him for the first time.
But it is a pity that because the battle situation at that time was too chaotic, and because my skills were not good enough, the archer in charge of archery was not able to hit Smaug's 'flaw' again.
"You said the thing you're looking for is a black arrow?" When Chu Xiaobai sold Guan Zi to the three of Aragorn, Tao Lier happened to come to their room. After listening to Chu Xiaobai's explanation and knowing what he was looking for, Tao Lier unconsciously showed a surprised and surprised expression: "However, as far as I know, it seems that all the black arrows cast by the dwarves have been used up by the original Lord of River Valley Town...... β
"No, there's one last black arrow in this world. And it happens to be in the town of Long Lake, in the hands of the descendants of the original lord of Riverdale, Jillian. Chu Xiaobai smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
"Yes......." It's not that I don't believe Chu Xiaobai's words, it's just that I haven't woken up from the accident yet. After a long while, Toril spoke again, "In that case, then I will go with you." β
"Huh?"
"Having preserved the last remaining black arrow for thousands or even thousands of years, I don't think they would easily agree to your request." "If the negotiations are at an impasse, my status may be of some help," Toril explains. β
"Then I'll go with you." Originally, he had planned to go to the market with Bilbo, but hearing Toriel's words, Aragorn also remembered his identity, and then developed a sense of responsibility.
As for Legolas, not to mention, he will follow wherever Tauril goes.
"Bilbo, it looks like you'll only have to find a few dwarves to accompany you to the market." Chu Xiaobai said to Bilbo with a smile, because the dwarves were mentioned in the words, he suddenly remembered: "By the way, we can call Thorin as well, he is the heir of the king of the mountain, and with him, it may also help a little." β
"Okay then, you guys talk first, I'll help you call Thorin over~." Bilbo nodded, and walked out of the room with a small package.
After a while, Thorin and Balin came to Chu Xiaobai's room together, and as for Bilbo, he had already been accompanied by the two Chiliferi brothers out of the inn and did not come back again.
"Chu, our original plan was to get the Akon Treasure Diamond first, let Thorin inherit the identity of the king of the mountain, and use this identity to gather the army of the dwarven Seven Kingdoms to come and besiege Smaug." When he heard that he was going to get the Black Arrow, Thorin himself didn't have any opinion, but Barin, who was a dwarven military advisor, raised an objection.
It was not that Balin was opposed to getting the black arrow, but that Chu Xiaobai and the others were a little too reckless nowβcompared to being tough with Smaug, he still wanted to be safe, and he wanted to maintain the original plan of action.
"I know what you mean." Chu Xiaobai also put on a serious expression: "However, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, right?" We all know that plans always don't change fast~! We cannot put our hopes on luck. Even if Smaug was asleep when we started, who could guarantee that it wouldn't wake up suddenly? So, in the face of Smaug, who suddenly woke up, of course we had to have a backup plan, I mean, a backup plan that was effective enough~! β
"I agree~." As an experienced elven commander, Toril usually prefers to seek stability. felt that Chu Xiaobai's statement was more secure, so she was the first to echo it.
"And me~." Aragorn was not willing to be lonely and raised his hand: "I only learned a word a few days ago, what is it?" Be prepared, right? Clear? β
"That's right." Nodding towards Aragon, Chu Xiaobai turned his gaze to Bahrain again: "Just be prepared." If you can't use it, that's great, but when you have to use it, we can't go empty-handed, right? β
ββ¦β¦γβ After a moment of silence, Balin said a little speechlessly: "How do I feel like I've become a villain?" Well, I agree. After all, you didn't want to use that thing to harden Smaug, and you didn't go beyond the original plan, but instead made some useful additions to the plan, and I have no reason to disagree with it in any way, do I? β
After unifying their opinions, they discussed a few more words, and soon, everyone picked an action team.
Chu Xiaobai, Aragon, Legolas, Tauriel, as well as Solin and Bahrain. There were only six people in the team that went to Black Arrow, and the other dwarves and elven warriors did not accompany them - after all, they came to ask for help, and if there were too many people, it would inevitably feel a little overwhelming, and it would be easy to bring unnecessary obstacles to the negotiations.
"Chu, where should we go?" After leaving the inn, Tao Lier remembered that Chu Xiaobai didn't seem to explain the destination.
"Let's go to the docks first." After thinking about it for a while, Chu Xiaobai said a place.
"Docks?" Toryl was surprised.
Why go to the pier? Toriel felt that there were only two possibilities, either the Black Arrow was kept on the docks, or the descendants of Jillian who held the Black Arrows lived on the docks.
Both of these possibilities are beyond Toriel's imagination. If the former is the case, won't the black arrows cast in metal be rusted by the moisture on the docks? If the latter is the case, the descendants of the dignified Lord of Riverdale Gillian are mixed up to the point where they can only live on the docks, which is indeed too miserable.
"Hehe, let's go to the dock first, just to inquire about some news." As if guessing what Tao Lier was thinking, Chu Xiaobai shook his head with a smile: "As far as I know, the descendant of Jillian who holds the black arrow should be called Bud." He is now a fisherman. If you want to inquire about his whereabouts, it is best to go to the docks. β
"I see." Only then did she realize that she had made a misunderstanding, and Tao Lier couldn't help but be a little shy, and her face turned red unconsciously.
The area of Long Lake Town is not small, and the pier located on the edge of the lake is obviously already on the edge of the town. From the inn where Chu Xiaobai and the others settled to the dock, there is still a long distance between them.
Along the way, Chu Xiaobai and his party attracted the attention of many people - this team of six people actually included members of the three races of elves, humans and dwarves at the same time. Although it is common to see dwarves and elves who come to trade here in Long Lake Town, it is rare to see such a complex team.
What's more, Aragorn is different from other ordinary humans, Tauriel is different from ordinary elves, and even Thorin and Balin have a temperament that is very different from ordinary dwarves. The identity of each member is extraordinary, which brings them a different temperament from ordinary people, and also makes this team look more conspicuous.
