Time passed quickly, and another ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the members of the expedition team had been in Rivendell for about two weeks.

During this time, Wayne barely learned the basic level of Sinda, could read some simple books written in Sinda, and even added a skill to his secondary skills, called the Otherworldly Language Talent, which was directly promoted to the second level.

Otherworldly Language Talent LV2: +20% Otherworldly Language Learning Speed.

However, what Princess Arwen and King Elrond didn't know was that in the process of learning Sinda, some of the books in the library had been unknowingly copied by Wayne, and they were not precious books, all of them were within the scope of King Elrond's permission and were open to him.

And in the face of the newly recruited junior apprentice Aragorn, Wayne can be regarded as doing his best.

Not only did he spend two hours a day guiding him attentively, but after the guidance, he would also arrange various after-school training, and specially built a training ground for him to use as a demon hunter apprentice in the remote forest.

Under the careful teaching of his master swordsmanship, the boy, who had just turned ten, grew up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly adapted to the physical pain and mental torture that occurred during training, and his skills became more and more clean and neat, and his swordsmanship improved significantly.

This feeling of becoming stronger quickly made the boy's eyes always full of passionate flames, and the eyes that looked at Wayne became more and more respectful.

However, there was no feast in the world, and although Aragorn was very reluctant to leave Wayne, the good teacher, the time soon came to part.

The future human emperor is mature beyond his years, and he does not cry like other children and play a scoundrel, he cherishes Wayne and gives Wayne a gift of his own making.

He also expressed his hope that Wayne would continue to serve as his sword teacher after he returned from a successful hunt for Smaug.

When the little boy knew that Wayne's purpose on this trip was to hunt Smaug, the world-famous dragon, his sparkling eyes were full of admiration and yearning, and it was obvious that in the hearts of children at this age, it was their lifelong wish to become a hero who hunted the dragon.

Wayne did not choose to refuse, nor did he immediately agree, he found that after he finished the Rivendell course, the task of teaching Aragorn was not completed, it was an unlimited task that could be completed by himself when he chose, which made him want to continue teaching Aragorn.

Not only because of Aragorn's prominent position in the future Middle-earth, but also partly because this little boy was indeed very obedient and sensible, extremely talented, and a material that could be created, which made him love and talent rise in his heart.

And I don't know when Wayne can clearly feel that King Elrond's attitude towards him has changed very much, and it seems that he is deliberately trying to win him over, not only for Princess Arwen, but also for a not secret transaction between the two during this period.

Wayne used a large number of medium-level healing potions, a few magic props, and the design drawings of the master-level bow and crossbow to exchange a batch of war horses from the Sinda Elves, a total of more than a hundred.

They are all high war horses unique to the Sinda elves, with special bloodlines, fast speed, strong endurance, amazing strength, and several points stronger than the elite war horses in the wizarding world in terms of physical performance, and it is estimated that each one is a rare war horse that can sell more than two thousand Oren in the wizarding world.

He planned to wait until the end of the mission in the Lonely Mountain and when he left Middle-earth with the deathclaws, and then take this batch of war horses with him, which could not only be given to his witcher brothers, but also used as bargaining chips to trade to Francesca's elves.

War horses, such a good thing, in the upcoming Civil War in the future, are in short supply of strategic equipment, and the value is high.

Not only that, but after he establishes a friendly relationship with the dwarves, elves or other races in Middle-earth, many Middle-earth specialties will become the best-selling products in his future chamber of commerce, earning him a lot of benefits.

Therefore, even if it is at the expense of some short-term interests, he will try his best to establish friendly relations with other powerful races in Middle-earth, which will be a powerful help for the future Demon Hunter Order.

And in Rivendell, it is estimated that the most reluctant to leave Wayne will have to be Princess Arwen, perhaps because of the witcher's handsome appearance, perhaps because of his humorous eloquence, or even because of the delicious and sweet cakes he takes out from time to time.

Although the two did not get along for long, they were quite pleasant, and the princess rarely met a fellow citizen who could communicate with her on an equal footing, so on the day of their separation, she gently stepped forward in front of the expeditionary party and King Elrond, stood on tiptoe and hugged Wayne, and sent a blessed kiss on the side of his face, wishing him victory in the battle against the dragon Smaug, and sending him a very beautiful wreath of woven flowers to wear on his head.

After the hug, facing the dwarves, elves, hobbits and wizards around him, all kinds of meaningful eyes, Wayne suddenly felt a little numb, and he tried to maintain a gentle smile on his face, not looking at King Elrond's expression.

Then he whispered his thanks to Arwen, who was a little flushed, and took out the exquisite elven dagger that he found with the two ancient elven swords from the space bracelet and was taken as a jingle sword by later generations, and gave it to the elven princess as a gift.

So he and the rest of the expeditionary team, as if they were running away, left Rivendell together.

………………

Because this time, with the wizard Gandalf and Wayne leaving together, Thorin and other dwarves did not suffer as miserable as in the original book, they were tied up and tied up in Orc Town, and then saved by Gandalf's divine soldiers.

However, it seems that it was because Wayne killed too many orcs and wolves last time, which aroused the vigilance of Azog and the orc clan of the Misty Mountains.

This time, as soon as they entered this orc territory, they immediately attracted the attention of the orc scouts, and the whereabouts of the expedition team were exposed, and they were attacked by the orc clan.

A large number of orcs in groups, driving a large number of wolves, soon carried out random attacks on the expeditionary team, poisoning, traps, archery, night raids, all kinds of despicable means, all kinds of despicable means.

However, such a situation is exactly in line with Wayne's thoughts.

Ignoring Gandalf's idea of letting them keep a low profile, he directly slowed down the team's march, and every day he obtained an expert mission to hunt orcs from the dwarven prince Thorin, and began a hunting journey to kill wherever he went.

Perhaps these stupid orcs think that the Misty Mountains are their home turf, capable of inflicting damage on expeditionary teams through traps, ambushes, or sieges.

But in their barren brains, they couldn't imagine what kind of lethality Robin, the terrifying top killer of the apocalypse, could burst out in such a complex terrain?

Any orc arrows that hit the body of the deathclaw only tickled him, and those boulders that fell from the sky were just like soft fists, and they could not inflict substantial damage on Robin.

With this terrifying giant beast as the vanguard, it directly turned all the methods of the half-orcs into chicken ribs, and it didn't work at all.

Even if it's a forced siege, as long as Gandalf and Thorin find an easy terrain to defend before the battle begins, and then let Robin use it as a meat shield to defend the gorge below.

No matter how many orcs are involved in the attack, they will turn into piles of minced meat under the razor-sharp claws and fangs of deathclaws.

And at this time, Wayne is a powerful killing machine, he can ride a magic flying carpet, fly in mid-air, full firepower, magic seals, alchemy bombs, archery, and slaughter the orcs below at will, without any threat to himself.

In the face of Wayne's bomber-like lethality, these half-orcs who had never seen the world were quickly frightened and fled, leaving hundreds of corpses in less than ten minutes.

If it weren't for the fact that the cunning orc king of Azog hadn't appeared during the attack, Wayne might have been able to directly complete a masterclass mission for Prince Thorin.

That night, Wayne and the others found a hilltop, an easy-to-defend cave as a place to stay, and Robin the Dead Claw guarded the entrance of the cave, directly blocking off any possible attack from the outside.

As the chef of the team, Wayne just casually cooked a pot of mushroom jerky soup, some barbecue meat and bread, and a simple meal, which immediately ushered in everyone's appreciation.

After a long time of getting along and the baptism of various battles, as the most powerful, his status in the entire team has risen to the level of being equal to the leader Thorin.

If it weren't for the identity of the dwarf prince, maybe he would have led this team.

Drinking a bottle of fruit necset from Rivinedale, he sat down on a clean rock wall, and said to Gandalf and Thorin:

"Thorin, Gandalf, I've found an entrance to Orc Town in the Misty Mountains."

"Prepare to take the lead in carrying out a surprise attack on their lair before their second encirclement and suppression are ready."

When Gandalf heard this, he took a puff of his pipe, touched his snow-white beard, and said:

"You're ready to go alone again, Wayne?"

"I still think it's too risky."

"Although your strength is very strong, it is not so easy to deal with the orcs who have survived until now."

"And the half-orc town is the half-orc lair of the Misty Mountains, no one knows how many dangers are buried in it."

"With your strength, as long as we reach the Lonely Mountain and unite those warriors who have been persecuted by the orcs for many years, we will definitely be able to defeat these orcs."

Wayne knew Gandalf's good intentions for his persuasion, but whether it was out of confidence in his own strength or for the masterful task of crushing the orcs of the Misty Mountains, he was obviously unwilling to be passive all the time.

Thorin's thoughts were similar to Wayne's, and while he used a whetstone to sharpen his long sword, which had become a little sluggish by slashing and killing orcs, he nodded to Wayne and said:

"I agree with you, Wayne, we really should take the initiative."

"These orc scum, for our first siege, the reason why there was no result, I think they are too underestimated."

"If they are ready for the second time, even with the help of your deathclaws, maybe we will cause casualties and let our brother die."

"While they're not ready, let's launch an unexpected surprise attack together, which will not only disrupt their plans, but will certainly inflict heavy damage on them."

"Let these filthy orcs no longer stand in our way to the Lonely Mountain."
