Chapter 262: Smaug
The palace of Thranduil, the Lonely Mountain, and the Long Lake, these are the scenes of The Hobbit, the events that take place sixty years back in the timeline, and the protagonist who fills the scenes is the last Lord of the Rings, Bilbo!
And one of the villains of that incident, and the culprit who caused the fall of the dwarven kingdom, is the dragon Smaug who now Aljeta wants to see the true face!
As a helper that even Sauron wanted to woo, the strength of the dragon Smaug was naturally extremely strong. The scale armor that was harder than hard, the claws that pierced more than the giant city-breaking crossbow, the eyes that were sharper than the best elven archers, and the flames that could incinerate everything, certainly did not show how terrible this legendary creature was to rob endless treasures and destroy all the cities in its way.
Even now it had fallen into the clouds, becoming a stone of heaven at the feet of the Dragon Slayer Warrior.
"Smaug's strength is comparable to that of a black dragon, and its weakness is like that of a black dragon, which can be easily killed by even a strong soldier with the right methods. This seems to have become a curse for those villains who are so powerful that they are terrifying, and the ultimate beneficiary is always others, and it is always themselves who die. ”
Standing at the site of Smaug's fall sixty years ago, the pitch-black night was as bright as day under the effect of magic, Qin Shao commented on the tragic fate of the villain, and at the same time engraved the mysterious magic array in the void.
The longer the time passes, the stronger the characters who have appeared in the scene, and the more difficult it is to retrace time.
At this time, what Qin Shao had to face was a dragon whose strength was equivalent to his own realm in terms of the laws of time and space, and his existence was sixty years ago, which he couldn't afford not to be cautious.
"On the road of combining magic and Taoism, I have also achieved some achievements. Just experiment today to see how powerful this newly created version of the time-lapse magic is. Algerta, you are the first witness to this magic! ”
Aljeta watched with great interest as Qin Shao stretched out his right hand to paint in the air, and when he heard Qin Shao say that he seemed to be the first witness of this scene, he asked with a little worry on his face: "Really...... No problem? ”
"Of course, the time-traveling magic is different from attack magic, and is based on a kind of timeline travel magic. Just like the relationship between the camera and the display, the magic particles that are transmitted to the past through the formation are the camera, and the magic array that is transmitted is the display. The magic particles go back in time, save what happened in this land in the past, and then return to reality and be presented by the magic circle. Therefore, even if the magic is out of control, at most some magic particles will be left in the past, and it will not affect the surroundings of the magic circle. ”
Qin Shao explained the principle of time rewind magic to Alcatel in detail, but it seemed that he himself was a little unconvinced, and added at the end: "Probably ......"
Aljeta was taken aback and repeated, "Probably?!" ”
Qin Shao coughed dryly twice, and said in an uncertain tone: "If you only say the Fa, I can guarantee that there will be no problems." However, there are many uncertainties in the combination of magic and Taoism, which makes this magic not 100% safe. ”
"But," Qin Shao shook his fist confidently in front of Aljeta, "There is no absolute security in terms of research, relying on the strength of the lower god of the light system on my magic side, as long as it is not an attack that destroys this continent in an instant, it will not be a problem for me!" ”
Aljeta frowned helplessly: "What I'm thinking about now is, are you doing experiments on the way to help me, or are you helping me during the experiment?!" ”
"Is there a difference between the two?" Qin Shao asked rhetorically.
Aljeta gave Qin Shao a roll of his eyes: "What do you say?" ”
The inscription of the magic array had come to an end, Qin Shao took out the long-idle black dragon treasure jade from the storage space, put it in the center of the erected magic array, and then retreated three meters, and said at the same time: "The experiment can be carried out at any time, but you only want to see Smaug once, if you really want to distinguish between the front and the back, of course it is the former." ”
Aljeta didn't dwell too much on this question, got the answer he wanted, and saw that the magic array was completed, so he changed the topic and asked, "Is that okay?" ”
Looking at his masterpiece, Qin Shao nodded with satisfaction, and then replied: "The Dragon Jade is the treasure conceived in your world, carrying the magical power that causes the living to die and the dead to life. And this power of communication between life and death is perfect for this time as a medium to connect with the present! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and flicked a wave of energy towards the center of the magic array: "Then, go back in time, start!" ”
"Ding~"
After a crisp sound, the energy-infused magic array quickly moved from its silence, and the invisible colorless lines emitted a faint white light, and then the white part of the lines differentiated into gold, then black, and as time passed, the light became brighter and brighter, and the colors became more and more complex. In a few moments, the three-meter-diameter magic array was covered by countless colors and turned into a small colorful sun.
When the light and color reach a certain boundary, the colorful little sun immediately solidifies, and then shatters into powder in the sound of "click", revealing a mirror inlaid with a black dragon jade on the top.
In the mirror, it is the picture of Smaug from the time he flew into this area to the time he was shot and fell!
"This is the giant dragon Smaug, his appearance is hideous, but in terms of size, he is still not as good as the black dragon of our world!"
Standing in front of the mirror, Algerta commented on Smaug in the mirror. Although there was a derogatory meaning in the words, there was still a look of satisfaction on his face.
After all, she is still a member of the dragon clan, even if she doesn't care about the life or death of the dragon clan in this world, but whether Smaug shows insulting the majesty of the dragon clan makes her care very much. It's like a student who has graduated from a school, although he no longer cares about the prosperity of the school, but when he encounters the evaluation of the school, he still can't help but want to hear it.
"The light and shadow effects are too much, it gives people a flashy feeling, well, this needs to be improved!"
Algerta expressed satisfaction with Smaug's performance, but Qin Shao expressed dissatisfaction with the time-rewinding magic.
In his thinking, the most correct way to get the maximum effect with the least loss is the most correct way, and those that are dull and useless should be abandoned. From this point of view, the magic was unsuccessful.
Just as the two of them were expressing their opinions, a burst of thunder suddenly came from the west, the sound was so loud that it was like the roar of the dragon Smaug sixty years ago. The strangest thing is that there are no clouds in the night sky at this time!
"Ready, is it finally about to begin?"
Qin Shao raised his head suddenly, his gaze was far away to the west, in his perception, the energy of the entire Middle-earth Continent was frantically converging towards the thundering place at this moment, and a wave that did not belong to this heaven and earth was rising with an unstoppable trend.
He knew that it was a divine tribulation, a terrifying calamity on the same level as the immortal tribulation. This calamity has made countless cultivators yearn for it and go crazy for it, just because after surviving the calamity, the name of "immortal" and "god"!
"Brother......
As if to know what the scene meant, Algerta stretched out his arms to the west and called softly with a worried expression.
The person closest to her in this world, the person who has been with her for countless years, is only her brother.
"There are still some places I haven't visited, but let's go back." Looking at Aljeta, whose expression fluctuated, Qin Shao shook his head helplessly and said out loud.
Aljeta opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refuse Qin Shao's proposal, but thinking that his brother was in danger, he chose to give up and agreed: "Well, let's go back." ”
Seeing that Aljeta nodded, the purpose of coming to Gushan had been achieved, and Qin Shao did not stop, taking off the black dragon treasure jade at the top of the mirror, erasing the magic array, and then using the Heavenly End Divine Power, returning to the time and space passage that stood above the beach.
At this time, the time and space passage was already a different scene in front of the space-time passage, the sky was covered by dark clouds, lightning flashed, thunder was rolling, and the three of Geraint, who were crossing the catastrophe in three directions at the same time, were resisting the thunderstorm attack that fell from the clouds. Although the three people in the thunder tribulation were pale and their breath was messy, they were not seriously injured, and it was only a matter of time before they survived the thunder tribulation.
"You didn't find any suspicious people around, did you?" After taking a step out, Qin Shao, who came to the Linton Realm from the lonely mountain thousands of miles away, came to Nervin and the others who were protecting the Dharma for the three of them, and asked in a low voice.
The sudden spatial fluctuations had already alarmed everyone who had been waiting for them because of the appearance of the Divine Tribulation, and after seeing that it was Qin Shao who appeared, Nervin let down his guard, and the solemn expression on his face also changed to a relaxed color.
"This beach is very remote, and the barrier under the cloth has the effect of driving away idlers, so until now, there have been no suspicious characters."
"Middle-earth is vast and sparsely populated, and Linton's population is even smaller, so it's not surprising that there have been no encounters with native creatures in just half a day." Looking at the dark clouds that had stabilized in the sky and were no longer gathering, Qin Shao continued: "But it's different now, with such a big goal, as long as you are not blind, it is only a matter of time before you touch this beach. ”
Looking at the people in the field, he said: "Because the Demon King Sauron is about to awaken, the current Middle-earth Continent is calm on the surface, but in fact, there is a lot of rumors, and those strong people with names and surnames on the continent are also running around separately, looking for a way to fight Sauron. At this critical juncture, the strange sight here will attract them all like a magnet, which is not a good thing for the next strategic layout. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Nervin thought for a moment and asked first.
Qin Shao sneered: "Don't they want to fight against Sauron's things, then give them to them!" Sauron forged nineteen rings and scattered them among humans, dwarves, and elves in an attempt to control them. Then we will also send nineteen rings, so that elves, dwarves, and humans can use the power of these rings to fight against Sauron! ”
"Let's make this war more magnificent!"
