"What else do you want from me!"

Smaug couldn't understand this damn human at all, he had completely let go of his self-esteem, and he was willing to swear to surrender, what else did the other party want?

This damn lunatic! Butcher! Devil!

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little surgery." Tang Sen said: "It will hurt a little, you bear with it." ”

Ignoring Smaug's wails, he pulled out some Mithril weapons and beckoned the dwarves to come forward.

The bloody scene is not to be repeated, and when the golden-red heart appeared in front of everyone, Smaug almost had no strength to speak.

It was just hoarse, and said without any heart, "If you are going to kill me, why torture me and humiliate me? ”

"Isn't a living dragon loyal to you more useful than a dead dragon?"

Tang Sen said: "Your loyalty still needs to be proven slowly, but my credibility is beyond doubt. ”

"I said you would be the first dragon in Middle-earth to see its own heart while alive."

Armed with an arrow, he slowly slit an aorta in his heart.

Strangely, the golden-red blood did not gush out, and with the aorta completely divided into two segments, Townsend could see that the huge, almost one-meter-square heart was still beating healthily, and the blood in the arteries was still flowing.

It's a pity that Smaug was already stunned at the moment when Townsend moved the knife, and he didn't witness this miracle.

Until Townsend took out a whole heart, the dwarves were dumbfounded.

"Is it alive or dead now?" Shalin asked, confused.

Travelers always have some strange tricks, which dwarves are recognized.

"Of course it's alive." Tang Sen glanced at her and said, "I don't have to kill it, do I?" ”

“.”

You've been tossing around for almost a night, and it looks so much crueler than killing it.

For some reason, the dwarves suddenly felt that Smaug was pitiful, hell! That's a dragon! And it's the dragon that has invaded the lonely mountain! How could such a strange idea be born.

It can only be said that this dragon is really too miserable.

"Next, it's time to wake up our Sleeping Beauty. Well, Smaug is supposed to be a male dragon. Right? ”

Instead of checking the other man's gender, Townsend came to Smaug's head, leaned closer, and whispered:

"Surrender. Or death? ”

Smaug, unconscious, shuddered.

"Surrender!" Its golden pupils opened, and it roared reflexively.

Then it realized its current situation and looked at Tang Sen in confusion: "I'm not dead?" ”

"The feeling of death is completely different from that of a coma, Smaug." Townsend Road:

"The operation was a success, congratulations."

"Surgery?" Smaug's vision swept across the dwarves with complicated faces, at the still-brilliant gold, and then at the beating golden-red heart.

Well, this heart looks so beautiful.

No, why is it still beating? And, where does the heart come from? It's so big that it doesn't look like it was taken out of a dwarf or human's chest.

Smaug felt something was wrong in his heart, and he slowly lowered his head and looked into his chest.

There was a bloody hole there, empty.

"Ahh

A scream that was completely different from the dragon's mighty roar sounded, and no one could have imagined that a dragon could make such a sharp sound.

"And that's my heart? My heart was pulled out? ”

It almost passed out again, no, it felt like it was dead, everything was an illusion now, yes, it must have been a hallucination.

"It's not a hallucination." With a demonic smile that seemed to Smaug, Townsend said, "I kept my promise, Smaug. ”

The devil wants this promise to be fulfilled!

"Don't worry, you don't have anything." Townsend explains: "I'm a professional. ”

"I have to congratulate you, now you don't have to worry about being shot through the heart by some archer or something."

You say it as if it's a good thing.

Smaug's eyes looked at Townsend with a complicated look, the human who called himself the Traveler, it had seen the mysterious and cruel methods of the other party, and it knew that even if it was not bound by the oath, it probably would not have the courage to resist him.

"By the way, in return for your surrender, I will give you a gift."

As he spoke, Townsend walked over to the heart and poked it curiously, causing Smaug to tremble.

It can be felt! It was as if the heart was still in my body!

Very sensitive!

Then, it saw the silvery white Mithril appear, slowly enveloping the heart in it, leaving only room for the heart to barely beat.

"In this way, your heart will be as indestructible as your dragon scales." Townsend said with satisfaction: "Do you like this gift?" ”

Dislike!

Smaug nodded again and again, "Your generosity is impressive. ”

"In addition to helping you defend against attacks, these Mithril have a function." Townsend smiled mysteriously, motioning for Smaug to focus on his heart.

Then, in its frightened eyes, the Mithril wrapped around its heart slowly sprouted spikes outward, like a sea urchin.

"Smaug, you don't want these spikes to grow in, do you?" Tang Sen said slowly.

"I don't want to! Absolutely not! Smaug shook his head frantically.

The spikes shrank again, and Mithril turned smooth again.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't necessary." Townsend reassured.

Smaug felt threatened. Comforted.

Satisfied with Smaug's attitude, Townsend had the dwarves thrust their hearts back into the dragon's chest.

The dragon's flesh and blood are very self-healing, and the wounds that are cut will eventually heal, and Townsend has no means of healing, but only controls Mithril and completely covers the places where the dragon scales have been pried off.

Outwardly, Smaug looked as healthy as before, no, no longer had the flaws of that dragon scale, it was healthier than before.

"Congratulations, then, Smaug, you're free again."

The Mithril ropes that bound Smaug were slowly unraveling, and Townsend was retracting the Mithril Ring.

But Smaug remained motionless.

Its foothill-like body exudes an air of loss and despair.

"Looks like our dragon needs some time to be alone."

Tang Sen said: "By the way, say goodbye to the gold here." ”

"Gold." Smaug jerked his head up: "Farewell? ”

"We have a lot of things to do, Smaug, and the days when you can sleep in the gold are over."

More sadness and despair than ever before welled up in Smaug's heart.

"Alright, it's time for us to find Thorin Oak Shield." Townsend left the hall with the dwarves: "He needs to fulfill his promise. ”

As the group walked away, the dragon's desperate screams could be heard behind them.

"Nope! No! No—"

The crowd found Thorin on Erebo's throne.

The dwarf's royal family sat precariously with his eyes closed, not knowing how long he had been sitting on the throne.

And above the throne, the heart of the mountain, which had been missing for hundreds of years, the Akon gem, was re-inlayed, exuding the brilliance of royal power.

The dwarves were silent.

It stands to reason that the dwarves should have been so excited to see this scene again that they burst into tears and rolled on the ground, but the man who sat on the throne, the former king in their hearts, not only abandoned them in the name of Durin, but fled shamefully in the midst of the battle.

When the dwarves are knocked away by the dragon again and again, and almost think they are going to die there, the king should always sit upright on the throne, indulging in the illusory kingship.

"You're here."

He finally opened his eyes and looked down at everyone: "I heard the wail of the evil dragon, it seems that you have succeeded. ”

"Now, you traitors are ready to take my throne and take my riches, right?"

"Thorin!" Bahrain said in a deep voice: "Durin is above, we have never thought of betrayal. ”

"Didn't you find out? Your mind is corrupted, and dragon disease has made you lose your mind. ”

"Is that the excuse you came up with?" Thorin chuckled, "Dragon disease? ”

"When Smaug struck, everyone blamed my grandfather for the plague that caused him to be devoured by the dragon's disease, and now that I sit on the throne of Erebo again, as our eldest, Balin, you want to blame me for the dragon's disease."

"Smaug is for Erebo's wealth, and it's obvious what you're for."

"Who do you want to support? Myself? Or Sarin Mithril's Hammer? ”

Shalin shouted angrily, "I never thought of it that way! ”

"But I don't see in your eyes the slightest respect for the king." Thorin sneered, "I am the son of Thurein, the destined inheritor of the Lord of the Mountain, I have taken the treasure of the Lonely Mountain from the dragon's minions and re-inlaid it on the throne, and you have no respect. ”

"It's not a betrayal, what is it?"

"Won." Tang Sen chuckled, "Or it's more appropriate to steal." ”

"Traveler." Thorin's face darkened, "Our trade is over, this is the temple of the dwarves, and you are not welcome. ”

"You look so pathetic." Townsend said calmly, "I'm not interested in Erebo, and I'm not interested in the riches here, but I must remind you, are you sure you want to expel me?" ”

"Expel someone who helped the dwarves defeat the dragon and help the dwarves reclaim the Lonely Mountain?"

"I'm just expelling a man with bad intentions." Thorin said coldly: "Don't think I can't see it, you have been corrupting the hearts of the dwarves along the way, the root cause of their betrayal of me is you, don't be delusional, I will never let the throne of the dwarves fall under the control of outsiders." ”

"Even if you have the gift of Iluvita, if you dare to continue to stand in front of me—"

Thorin stood up:

"I will also swear the sovereignty of the dwarves with your blood!"

The current monthly pass is 401/100, and the current update is 1/4.

There will be an update today, but with my codeword speed, it should be late..
