Chapter 249: Training

On the way to the martial arts arena, the butler introduced the role of these weapons and armor to everyone: "On these armors and weapons, the master specially ordered someone to carve some spells and magic arrays, and their functions are not complicated, mainly the three functions of solidity and sharpness and armor breaking, but even so, coupled with this solid metal named Star Iron, makes it enough to break and cut off and defend against most substances and attacks, our master is a great existence, I know that you are very curious about the master, but you are embarrassed to ask." But in fact, the master is a very gentle and kind person, he has left legends about him in many worlds, you heard it right, yes, the master can easily travel between many worlds, including your world, in fact, in your world, the master is not the first time to come here, but the master is not going now, but in the future, where he even has a conversation with dried tofu, oh no, please forgive me for my slip of the tongue, Mr. Gandalf became a good friend, so strong that the master is so strong that he disdains to lieAs long as you are willing to ask, he will definitely answer your questions, as for whether you believe it or not, that's your problem, okay, the martial arts arena has arrived, there are junior battle puppets here, please rest assured that they will stop attacking at the moment they hurt you, where are there still dummies and steles made of ordinary rocks, you can try to familiarize yourself with your new weapons, please forgive me for missing me, because it's dinner time, I'm going to prepare, everyone, please take care of yourself, someone will take you to the restaurant in a while, Have a nice afternoon to you all! ”

Except for Dried Tofu and Thorin, several other dwarves all rushed to the arena with their weapons brandished, while Dry Tofu and Thorin stood on the edge to digest what the butler had just said. Some looked at each other suspiciously. Soon after, he came to his senses at the crisp slashing sound of the other dwarves. Then they also walked down the martial arts arena together, adapting to their new weapons, and found that this weapon was really extraordinary, and it was like cutting through the rocks and ordinary metals that looked very strong at first glance, and it took almost no effort to easily cut off those rocks and metals as thick as a man with the weight and inertia of the weapons, and their weapons showed no signs of curling blades, until a beautiful and lovely maid came to inform everyone that dinner was ready, Reluctantly, they grabbed their weapons and followed the maid to the room again. Then they got out of the carriage again, and although they didn't understand why they didn't eat in the room in the carriage, the crowd was not particularly surprised, anyway, they knew that a big meal was waiting for them.

I got out of the carriage and looked back at the amazing carriage, these dwarves and Bilbo. Both Baggins and Dried Tofu still felt like a dream, even in this world of magic and witchcraft, they had never heard of such a magical carriage, and at the same time they had some faith in what the butler had said before.

Dinner was still very substantial, except for the addition of a roasted whole lamb and turkey. Everyone also had a large glass of red wine in front of them, which was accompanied by fries and cheese and other foods. The dwarves loosened their belts one by one before sitting at the table, and at this time it was far away from the place where they got into the carriage, under Shen Ruoyu's instructions, everyone first raised their glasses and drank one together, and then began the formal meal, and Shen Ruoyu was still very elegant and eating in small bites, given that everyone had eaten a lot at noon, so everyone looked much better at this dinner, and Shen Ruoyu also said during the banquet: "Well~~ In view of the change in the way we travel, I am afraid that some of the paths that were suitable for us are no longer able to follow, so should we renegotiate the route of travel? Dried tofu Oh excuse me, Mr. Gandalf, Mr. Sorin, what do you think? ”

Rolling his eyes, Gandalf, who was speechless about what Shen Ruoyu and his butler called him, was the first to speak: "I don't see what you are embarrassed about at all, but I still want to thank you here for the weapons and clothes you have prepared for us, especially my gorgeous robe, which is much more gorgeous than the best clothes I have ever worn, and it does not seem high-profile, please allow me to thank you again." ”

After speaking, Gandalf kicked a group of dwarves who were eating next to him and pretending not to hear, and then everyone raised their glasses to Shen Ruoyu again, and then he said again: "Hmm~~ For the question of the itinerary, I have a few small questions here I want to ask you, I don't know how far your carriage can run every day if you take the carriage?" With all due respect, if the distance is not long enough, then we may lose a lot of time, so maybe we should choose to walk. ”

"You don't have to worry about that, according to my calculations, if we take the carriage, then we will arrive at our destination about three days earlier than expected even if we take a detour, so maybe we can stay with the elves in Rivendell for a while longer, and I also have some things I want to ask the Elon King, so I don't have to wait long."

"Nope! Never! I'm not going to ask for help from the elves! Before Shen Ruoyu finished speaking, Thorin, who was eating quietly, stood up excitedly, and found that he jumped off the chair and was just level with the table, which led to the occurrence of only hearing his voice and not seeing him, and climbed into the chair again with some embarrassment, Thorin said loudly again: "I won't ask those elves, they didn't help us at the beginning, and now they are my enemies."

"With all due respect, Prince Thorin! I don't think there's any justification for your anger, you're dwarves, and they're elves, they're not your subordinates and subjects, it's their nobility and enthusiasm to choose to help you, it's their duty and right thing to choose not to help you, you can't treat others as enemies just because they don't help you, I ask you, why do they help you dwarves unconditionally? Because of friendship? Or is it because of what? Before blaming others, can you put yourself in the right position? It is already a precious thing to persecute you dwarves after that, and you must be grateful and know how to be measured, especially as an heir to the kingdom like you. You have no right to ask an outsider to take the life of his own people to save your own people. If you want to blame it, you can only blame you for not being strong enough. You can't afford to avoid risk, you can't blame people for not helping you, after all, they didn't pay you a little bit, did they? Prince Thorin! Shen Ruoyu didn't listen to Thorin's nonsense, but said some truths a little coldly.

Listening to Shen Ruoyu's words, Thorin suddenly didn't know what to say, yes, they weren't his subordinates and subjects, they just came to meet a few times. And no matter what the trader is, the family has also paid, and his former country has not paid the elves anything, so why should he ask others to help him unconditionally? Although they are nominal friends and allies, so what, in the face of the powerful fire dragon Smaug, why should people pay for their own people's lives to help them get back what belongs to them?

For a moment, Thorin, who was speechless, opened his mouth, and then lowered his head in a dejected manner, he seemed to have been blinded by hatred all along, and he could no longer see the truth of the matter. Mr. Shen is right, it's good that the elves didn't persecute the dwarves after the disaster. If he is also a king, then he may choose to turn a blind eye for the safety of his people, how can he blame the elves?

Suddenly, the entire dinner fell silent in Shen Ruoyu's cold but pertinent words, and everyone fell into deep thought, except for Bilbo. Baggins was still looking at this and that in confusion, wanting to ask but afraid of ruining the atmosphere, and seemed a little overwhelmed.

"You're right, Mr. Shen, thank you for your advice, I'm really blinded by hatred, I'm full, I want to be quiet for a while, you don't have to worry about me, keep eating, I'll be back in a while!" Although Thorin is stubborn, he is not an unreasonable person, after figuring out all the passes, he seems a little depressed, so he said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the woods on the side, obviously wanting to be alone and quiet, Devalin and Chili on the side still wanted to follow, but they were pulled back by Gandalf, who had not made a sound, and shook his head and said: "Don't go, let him be alone and quiet, it will be fine, believe me, he is the grandson of Thor's son, he is the heir of the kingdom under the mountain of the Lonely Mountain, He has to figure it out for himself, and he'll figure it out! ”

"I've decided!" Shen Ruoyu finished eating the steak in front of him, wiped his mouth with a white napkin, and then said a little abruptly.

"Huh? What to decide? Dry tofu glanced at Shen Ruoyu a little inexplicably and asked.

"I decided not to use the carriage anymore, everything went according to plan, although I know what is written on that map, but I am not going to tell you, after all, it is also part of this adventure, if the carriage is used, then maybe this journey will lose a lot of fun things and experiences, so I decided not to use the carriage anymore, but I will still serve the bath and three meals every night, that's all!" Shen Ruoyu said his decision with a gentle face, which attracted a group of dwarves and Bilbo. Baggins wailed, but this didn't change Shen Ruoyu's decision, so the people who thought they could sleep on the warm bed tonight had to watch Shen Ruoyu put away the dining table and the magical carriage after dinner again, but the only lucky thing was that Shen Ruoyu at least left a warm sleeping bag for one person, which was also a blessing in misfortune.

In the middle of the night, a somewhat decadent Thorin walked back, with some dust and branches on his body, obviously just after some venting, only to see him walk alone to the only Shen Ruoyu who had not yet fallen asleep, and suddenly lowered his head and said to Shen Ruoyu under the secret gaze of others: "Thank you for your teachings, what you said is not wrong, we should not attribute our failures to others, that is the behavior of cowards, I understand!" ”

"There is a reward for paying, don't indulge in the glory and strength of the past, when you see how others treat you, first look at how you treat others, sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow, leave the sentry to me, no one can escape my eyes and get close here." Shen Ruoyu sat indifferently on a rock, looked at the night sky in the distance, took a sip of wine, and then said to Thorin.

Nodding, Thorin walked over to his sleeping bag and slipped into it without saying a word, and the camp soon fell silent, except for the occasional crackling sound of the fire.

The next day, a group of people woke up in the aroma of food, Shen Ruoyu had changed into a black windbreaker again and sat on the dining table, elegantly drinking soy milk, eating fritters, and after seeing everyone wake up, he said: "Get up, come and taste the food of my hometown, I dare to say that you have never eaten such deliciousness." ”

So a new day in a dwarf like a pig eating the "purring" sound, a new journey began, this time Shen Ruoyu did not ride his wind mount again, but walked on the journey with everyone, but different from the appearance of everyone's dusty servants, although he always seemed unhurried, but no matter how everyone sped up, Shen Ruoyu could always follow closely at the end of the team, without a little tiredness and the meaning of falling behind, the walking posture was full of relaxed freehand and ethereal feeling.

Although the journey on the second day was a little tired, but the rich meals on time also eliminated some of the fatigue, especially the hot shower and sleeping bag before dinner, which made the journey obviously much easier, plus the problem of sentry was all handed over to Shen Ruoyu alone, so everyone's spirit was still good, but from the third day, Shen Ruoyu used their martial arts skills to be too rough, and while marching, he treated the dwarves, including Bilbo. Baggins and Dried Tofu conducted a chase-and-kill training, and by the end of the night, except for Dried Tofu's combat effectiveness was quite good, and the injuries on his body were slightly lighter, the others, especially Bilbo. Baggins, everyone has a blue nose and swollen face, and when they take a bath, they all "hiss" and shout in pain, but after applying the medicine contributed by Shen Ruoyu, the next day these guys are almost all healed except for some fatigue, and the other injuries are basically all good, which makes the group simply painful and happy, while experiencing the rapid growth of strength, while suffering from Shen Ruoyu's violent beating, the mood is called a sour, it is simply impossible for outsiders to say.

However, it is obvious that after a few days of Shen Ruoyu's pursuit, they each have a little better than before on how to protect themselves and avoid various dangers and cooperate to resist the enemy, which can be regarded as an alternative harvest, until they walked out of the plain and entered the first mountain range, Shen Ruoyu's "special training" was considered to have come to an end, which also made everyone who felt like a year of relief all breathed a sigh of relief.
