Chapter 127: Arriving at Lorian

Hu Bin didn't wait for his end after all, what he was waiting for was a scream from the fire demon.

Gandalf somehow stepped up behind the Firedemon and inserted his staff into its, and the Firedemon was hit again by the magic blast, spurting a large amount of burning blood from the wound in his chest.

The Firefiend turned around and swept Gandalf out, but the act also drained him of the last of his life.

Gandalf let out his last breath, and his body turned to dust with the wind, and his soul returned to the gods.

"What is this, has the damage of the chrysanthemum enema doubled, have you renewed your foreigner?" The catastrophe and the sudden and strange turn of events made Hu Bin unable to figure out whether he wanted to complain or laugh, but it didn't matter, the only thing he could do now was cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Could it be that he has just escaped the fate of being killed, and is he about to usher in the end of his injuries?" Hu Bin tried to move himself, but there was no reaction except for aggravating the pain, and the moon well water was in his hand, but at this time, it seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai, and he was unable to send it into his mouth. Judging from the current state, Hu Bin suspected that even if he could drink the potion, he would be properly choked to death, and a strong egg pain and unwillingness enveloped the dying Hu Bin.

"Help~cough~Help." Hu Bin made a faint voice, and then felt a burst of sadness, he felt as if if if he didn't say this sentence, he would die in his life.

Next to the fallen body of the fire demon, Lorraine's figure miraculously appeared there, he rushed over with a rolling belt, drank the moon well water in Hu Bin's hand, and then attached his hand to Hu Bin's chest to rescue.

"It's good to be alive." Hu Bin looked at Lorraine's relieved appearance, knowing that his little fate was saved, and as the nerves that were only tense relaxed, he immediately fell into a coma.

……

It was already three days later when Hu Bin woke up from the temple, and the injuries and pain on his body had already improved a lot, but due to the rampant magic in his body, he would be affected by the negative effect of halving all attributes in the next 5 days.

"Well, you're awake."

Hu Bin slowly looked around, and then he found himself lying next to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and his body was covered with roots and half-buried under the soil.

"What kind of situation is this, do you want to take advantage of people's unpreparedness and use me as fertilizer."

"I'm absorbing the energy in your body, you're too reckless, and you're lucky, there aren't many people who survive the energy storm."

"It's better than being baked up for a lavish lunch, you really don't have a sense of humor." Hu Bin moved, the roots of the trees around him slowly faded, and he also walked out of the pit.

"It's really miserable." Looking at the summary of the battle in the space three days ago, Hu Bin said with a worried face.

The city of Muradine suffered heavy losses in the attack of the fire demons, two rapid-fire city defense crossbows and seven ordinary small ballistae were completely destroyed, the city tower and the main gate were completely blown away, and even the buildings around the main gate were also damaged, but fortunately, they were all uninhabited houses.

The citizens lost 13 people, in order to control the ballistas and catapults, Hu Bin urgently recruited the militia, but was killed by the fire demon with a move, fortunately, although the most entourage side was slightly or seriously injured, but none of them were killed.

Lorraine used the last of his mana to put on a mantra shield for himself at a critical moment, but as a result, he was left with a small life under the claws of the fire demon, and finally Hu Bin was dying, which can be described as a blessing in misfortune.

The Cold Star Iron Crossbow Arrow could no longer be recovered, and most of the Moon Well Water was used up when the ancient tree was healing Hu Bin's injuries, Hu Bin found that he only had three bottles of stock left in the Space Ring, counting other consumption and losses, Hu Bin directly lost more than 150,000 gold coins in order to kill the Fire Demon.

"I hope the harvest will be worth my loss." Hu Bin then looked at the reward he had given for cooperating with Gandalf to kill the Flame Demon, and found that his gains and losses were difficult to estimate.

"Numbered 000003, participated in the battle to defeat the legendary creature Firedemon, contributed more than 30% of the battle, and the space was judged to be a valid kill, and obtained the hidden mission item Firedemon Heart."

"Heart of the Fire Demon: The core essence of the Fire Demon Creature

Grade: Legendary

Attribute: Unknown

Synopsis: Lost soul but still hot.

Additional: Can be given as a quest item to the Dwarven Golden Bolt to obtain rewards. ”

Hu Bin estimated the strength of the Fire Demon, it has probably reached the mid-master level, it is a serious legendary-level creature of eight hundred, Hu Bin was able to defeat the Fire Demon, the most fundamental reason is that Gandalf had fought with it for a long time at the beginning, otherwise with the flame enchantment around the body of the Fire Demon in its heyday, how could it be so easy to be injured by Hu Bin.

However, no matter what, Hu Bin still played a big role in the battle to eliminate the Flame Demon, although he did not kill the Flame Demon with his own hands, but he was also recognized by the space. The reward of the Heart of Fire Demon is estimated to be to gain a lot of favorability from the members of the Ring Guard, which will be of great help to Hu Bin's future missions, but Hu Bin is reluctant to hand over this item, everything with the word "legendary" is all items that can be encountered, and the possibility of the dwarf rewarding himself with a legendary-level item is very small, and it is a bit difficult not to try.

The gains from defeating the Fire Demon were more than that, although most of the Fire Demon's corpse was destroyed in the flames, there were still many good things left. For example, if the Ember of the Fire Demon is used as a rare casting material to assist in casting, it can reduce the release conditions of fire-based magic, enhance the power and reduce consumption, a small piece of Fire-Demon skin can be used to make fire-based leather armor, and the blood of the Firedemon can be used as a fire-based amplification potion and resistance potion after simple dilution and detoxification.

And what satisfied Hu Bin the most was that the weapon of the Flame Demon fell into his hands.

"Scorching Chains (Whip): One of the Dark Gods' finest equipment for the Fire Demons

Grade: Rare

Attributes: Strength +3, Agility +3

Additional feature: The chain can be adjusted in length and size from 1 to 12 meters

Additional Skill Imprisonment: Throw out the chains and wrap around the enemy, imprisoning the enemy before they can break free

Additional Skill Flame: Activate the chain with fire-based energy, so that the flame is attached to the chain, and the fire attribute attack greatly increases the attack power of the weapon, but the holder will receive 1~5 points of scorching damage per second according to the amount of energy input.

Introduction: Bringing Pain to the Enemy and Yourself

As a rare weapon, the properties of the Scorching Chain are quite good, the telescopic characteristics can play an unexpected role in many cases, and the additional two skills can be used together, and to Hu Bin's satisfaction, if he masters the dual-wielding weapon, the whip weapon can be used as an off-hand weapon in the left hand at the cost of reducing attack power by 20%.

Hu Bin had learned the melee skills of the double short knives in the elven clan, and although he was not proficient in it, he also activated the dual-wielding weapon. He wrapped the equipment around his left hand and felt a warm sensation. Hu Bin tried to shake the chain, but was scratched by the sharp blade at the tip, and it seemed that he would not be able to use this equipment proficiently without a certain amount of practice.

"I don't know what happened to the rest of the Fellowship Team." Hu Bin thought of his second stage main quest and saw that Aragorn's mission to arrive at Lorian had been completed, and as long as he reached Rorian again, he could complete the entire second phase of the main quest.

But Hu Bin is not in a hurry to return to Lorian, defeating the Fire Demon means that the biggest threat in the Moriath Mine has disappeared, and the orcs will not come out to patrol for a while because of the fire demon's rage, this is an excellent opportunity. Hu Bin hurriedly arranged for the repair of the city walls and the exploration of the mines, and he had already seen large piles of Mithril ore beckoning to him.

……

"Hurry up, damn it, isn't this orc crazy?" Hu Bin sat on the shoulders of the stone giant, cursing the army of orcs chasing behind him, and used his bow and arrows to slow down the pursuit of the orcs, while Ente strode away quickly.

It all started two or three days ago, when the complacent Hu Bin mobilized a large number of people to mine the Mithril ore after discovering the vein, and even Ente was summoned again to join the frenzied mining work. It's a pity that the movement of mining can't be hidden, and Hu Bin and they were still discovered by the orc scouts. Although the city of Muradine was able to resist these orcs for a while, because Hu Bin used all his manpower on ore mining, the broken city wall had not been repaired, which made the orcs quickly break through the outer city. After weighing the pros and cons, Hu Bin decisively opened the initial space again, sent the city of Muradin and the others back, and he and Ente embarked on the road to escape from the mine.

In the process of mining secrets, Ente can be said to have gained a lot of money, not only devouring a lot of rare associated ores, but also deducting a lot of Mithril ore, which made his strength increase a lot after losing a large amount of Cold Star Iron, and most importantly, the Heart of the Fire Demon actually has an unusual sense of Ente.

Hu Bin tried to let Ente carry the Heart of the Fire Demon, but he didn't expect Ente's puppet core to really absorb the Heart of the Fire Demon, making Hu Bin want to cry without tears, it was a legendary-level item, although the attributes are not known, but it must not be too bad, it is a pity to be swallowed like this. After devouring the Flame Demon Core, Ente gained the ability to transform into a lava giant, but he needed to continuously consume Hu Bin's energy. This made Hu Bin's already insufficient energy value Alexander again, and he tried to make Ente use a transformation, but he drained himself before the three minutes were up.

However, Ente's strength after transforming into a lava giant has increased greatly, which also makes Hu Bin not particularly frustrated after losing the legendary item, because there is no enemy to compare, he doesn't know how far Ente has improved after transforming, but as soon as he thinks of Ente's whole body covered with flames and lava holding a flame sword, Hu Bin will sweat for his future enemies.

The Mithril ore needed to be refined, the city gate needed to be rebuilt, and after handing over the work to Geldan, Hu Bin and Ente shook off the pursuit of the orcs, escaped from the mine without any problems, and quickly rushed there after finding the direction of Lorian.

The Misty Mountains had been left far away, and Hu Bin, who was alone, was walking on the road to Rorian, the speed of the stone giant Ente was not slow, and it was not bumpy on his shoulders, Hu Bin was too lazy to hurry by himself, so he simply sat on Ente and practiced the skills of using the chain whip.

"Master, it's itchy to do this." After scratching Ente for the Nth time, Hu Bin was protested by Ente.

"Shut up." After the Nth plus scratched himself once, Ent's protest was declared null and void. Hu Bin was depressed to find that he was completely unsuitable for this weapon, and the improvement in proficiency was basically zero.

After changing out of his scarred coat, Hu Bin had to stop practicing, not only because his spare coat was left intact, but also because a forest appeared in front of him.

When he was surrounded by a group of elves, Hu Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief and took off his cloak. In the surprised eyes of the elves, Hu Bin jumped off Ente, explained his intention to the elves patrolling here, and was then taken to the water elves' shelter, Luo Ruian.

Lorian was built in the middle of the forest, which was also the ideal environment for the elves to live. Treehouses and rattan ornaments are everywhere, and the whole city looks elegant and natural, blending in with the environment. However, compared to Rivendell in the valley, Lorian is not very safe, its location is close to the orc's sphere of influence, and it is not easy to defend, and is often attacked by wandering orcs. If it weren't for the powerful Queen Galadriel sitting here, she might have been attacked by the orcs a long time ago.

Hu Bin did not immediately meet the rulers of the area, Queen Galadriel and her husband, but was placed to rest in a comfortable hut for the night, and he found himself closely watched, but he did not feel malice. Hu Bin, who didn't know why, was very curious about what caused the elves here to need to monitor themselves.

The reason was soon revealed, and early the next morning, Hu Bin met the legendary last elven royal family, Queen Galadriel.

"Son, do you have anything to say?" Queen Galadriel asked.

"Gandalf and the Firedemon are all gone, I'm sorry I was too weak to save him." Hu Bin described the battle with the fire demons, but he hid the existence of Muradine City and his retinue, and Hu Bin couldn't explain why there were human subordinates, and if the queen knew, something might happen.

"Hey, Gandalf still hasn't escaped this?" Queen Galadriel sighed.

"So, under your control, Gandalf was seriously injured and died after giving the final blow to the Fire Demon, and you were lucky enough to pick up a life, because it took so many days to recuperate?" Queen Galadriel reacted calmly after receiving the bad news of Gandalf's death, only slightly sad, but was surprised that Hu Bin could come back alive, she was quite aware of the strength of the fire demon, and Hu Bin said that he saved his life in its attack.

"Yes, I also relied on the well water given by the gods I believed in to recover so quickly." Hu Bin always felt that Queen Galadriel was observing him, because he had a feeling of being seen through, as if she knew about what he was hiding from the truth.

"You have a strong natural aura in you, and it seems that the god is quite kind and gentle to you." Queen Galadriel said mildly, not caring about the untruths in Hu Bin's words.

Hu Bin thought of the goddess Elune's arrogant temperament, so he could only endure a cold sweat and nod with a smile.

"Then I can ask where they are in Aragon, and I promised them to meet here."

"I didn't expect you to have the courage to face the Flame Demon head-on, Reed, your courage is commendable, but you are too reckless. Don't pay any attention to this, the Fellowship of the Ring has already departed from here a day ago, and King Elon will be here soon, you can either return to Rivendell with him, or you can take a ship back to the West directly from nearby. Queen Galadriel stroked the Water Ring on her finger.

"The One Ring is too dangerous, neither Sauron's pursuit nor the temptation of the bearer can be easily dealt with, stay here and wait for Elon's arrival, your mission is over, isn't it."

Hu Bin had no other way, Queen Galadriel's will was something she couldn't violate, and she put a lot of pressure on Hu Bin, making it difficult for Hu Bin to argue with her decision. Hu Bin knew that in the plot, Queen Galadriel passed the test of the Supreme Ring and achieved a breakthrough, and she had tried her best to restrain her coercion in front of Hu Bin, but it still caused a lot of shock to Hu Bin.

There is no essential difference between Rorian's life and Rivendell, except that the different environments bring Hu Bin a sense of novelty, and Aragorn's party did not see the meeting of Gandalf and Hu Bin after waiting for many days, and it is estimated that they have already reached the worst result, thinking that they are both killed. If there is a chance to meet again, Hu Bin will surprise them.

The second phase of the main quest has already updated its progress when Hu Bin arrives at Lorian, while the third phase of the main quest is very concise and straightforward.

"Ensuring the final victory of our camp."

"Damn, I have to find a chance to slip away, I don't want to go to the Western Pure Land, so I will be judged to avoid war, and I can't complete any side quests." Hu Bin began to look for a chance to escape Rorian in the following days, but Queen Galadriel's surveillance really left him with no chance, which made Hu Bin start to get restless.

However, living in the water elves, Hu Bin still found a lot of things that were useful to him, compared to the mountain elves, the water elves have an easier comprehension of magic, which makes the existence of many mages in the water elves, and Queen Galadriel is a powerful mage herself. Some of the magic skills that Hu Bin learned from the mountain elves still seem to be very rough, but after some elven mages knew about it, Hu Bin systematically trained and corrected his magic skills, and finally mastered the skills of charging and casting spells quickly.

Needless to say, Hu Bin used it when dealing with water monsters, but after further improvements, the speed and consumption of charge have been reduced, which can be said to have greatly improved Hu Bin's output ability on the basis of not using his special moves.

And the fast casting method is another quite practical magic skill he learned, prepare some energy stored in the body in advance, when you want to use magic, you can quickly release these energy, although you can't do instant casting, but it can also reduce the chanting time to a certain extent, the disadvantage is that the energy utilization rate is low, and the preparation in advance is very cumbersome.

With Hu Bin's strength, he can store up to as much pre-stored energy as one Fireball Technique, and these energy segments are enough to accelerate the casting of two Fireball Spells, but Hu Bin has to use double the energy to prepare these pre-stored energies. In combat, Hu Bin generally does not use more than two fireball techniques.

Magic skills can not only greatly increase the power of magic, but also indirectly improve the mastery of magic, Hu Bin feels that he is one step closer to an intermediate magician, maybe soon, he can advance again.
